Sentinel

Chapter 338 Choice
Sitwell's life has not been easy recently. Too many things have happened in the past month. Alexander Pierce was assassinated and killed. The murderer was Hydra's ultimate weapon, the Winter Soldier. Is this an internal struggle or an attack from an external enemy?

Losing his immediate boss and backer, this opportunist who has turned his back on the wind has no choice but to shrink his neck and be a man, trying to reduce his sense of existence to avoid being hit and eliminated.But what surprised him was that after Pierce's unfortunate death, Nick Fury did not return and regained power. Instead, the White House and the military intervened strongly, and General Thaddeus Ross became the new leader.

Sitwell couldn't help feeling ironic that S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra fought each other, and in the end no one was on the winner's throne, but an irrelevant third party picked the fruits of victory.

General Ross took office and immediately appointed a new commander, Helmut Zemo, who is said to be from Sokovia and served as a colonel of the elite troops. He was seconded by S.H.I.E.L.D. to replace Maria- Hill's position.

This groundless newcomer almost uprooted the HYDRA forces lurking inside S.H.I.E.L.D., including John Garrett, who had been hiding for many years, and his favorite student Grant Ward. Everything was controlled silently, and then a secret cleanup was carried out.

From the field department to the high-level internal affairs, there has been a complete change of blood.The method can be said to be vigorous and vigorous, but it did not cause any panic, which is enough to prove Zemo's own strength. With the strong support of General Ross and Umbrella behind him, he has gradually established his own position.

Sitwell began to wonder if he should apply to be transferred to Russia, or South America, or Africa, to avoid this turbulent undercurrent.After all, it is well known that I had a close relationship with Pierce before. Who knows if General Ross and Commander Zemo will settle accounts after the fall.

This bald-headed agent is a bare-bones opportunist without the slightest integrity of a Hydra fanatic. In the original timeline, he was threatened by Captain America once, and he directly confessed all the news before he was tortured.

The reason why he joined Hydra and became a loyal dog in the hands of Pierce was purely driven by profit, and had nothing to do with the lofty beliefs in his heart. It was a shame among Hydra.

Depressed by the uncertain future, Sitwell returned home to an apartment in Washington, D.C.The property he owns is enough to buy a villa in Manhattan, where the land is very expensive. However, SHIELD often conducts irregular inspections of internal personnel. .

"Agent Sitwell, long time no see."

In the darkened room, Steve sat quietly in a chair, with a vibrating gold shield in his hand.He looked at the bald agent and asked bluntly, "I want to know about the Winter Soldier."

Captain America, who refuses to return to S.H.I.E.L.D., has gone through a series of crises and still decides to track down the Winter Soldier. Nick Fury can't disappear for nothing, and Alexander Pierce can't just die worthlessly. Everything needs to be done It's over.

"I don't know what Winter Soldier is...Captain Rogers, breaking and entering is against the law."

Sitwell was taken aback, but quickly calmed down. He glanced at the pistol on the table, with a sarcastic expression on his face: "Are you going to threaten me? That's not your style, Captain."

"You're right, I really wouldn't do that." Steve nodded, "Sam, I'll leave it to you."

A falcon with a natural protective color jumped out from behind Sitwell, grabbed the bald agent, and smashed it against the hard table, making a muffled "boom".

"Wait, don't do it!"

Sitwell, who had a negative moral value, just got hit and immediately begged for mercy. Now that Pierce is dead and Hydra has suffered a disastrous defeat, he can't afford to continue to work for a group of Nazis.

"I know the true identity of the Winter Soldier." The bald agent covered his shiny head, "He is James Buchanan Barnes, a member of the Howling Commandos, your former comrade in arms."

"Bucky...he's already..."

Steve was stunned by the answer he got, and he could finally explain the vague familiarity in his heart.

"After Barnes fell off a cliff, he broke off a hand, which was later found by Hydra. After the failure of World War II, he was taken to the former Soviet Union, installed a mechanical arm, brainwashed his mind, and trained to become a loyal killing machine."

Sitwell said in detail, without any concealment, "In the past 50 years, he has carried out many assassination missions. After completing the mission, he will be frozen and will not wake up until he has another mission. .”

Steve was speechless. He didn't expect that Bucky was still alive. He looked at the bald agent whose eyes were rolling wildly. The other party followed Pierce before and should know about Fury.

Bang!
A metal bullet shattered the window and shot straight through Sitwell's skull. White brains mixed with blood spilled on the wall like a splash of paint, like an abstract painting.

Steve squatted down immediately, rolled over and hid behind the sofa, and Falcon Sam, who was a soldier, also found the obstacle. Through the broken glass window, he vaguely saw a black figure flashing from the opposite building Pass.

"Sam, you back me up."

With the vibrating gold shield on his head, Captain America directly broke through the window of the apartment and jumped into the opposite building. With his extraordinary physical strength and strong physical fitness, he smashed open a wooden door, quickly walked through the corridor, and caught up with him. The figure of the killer.

Rushing up to the rooftop, Steve threw the shield in his hand with all his strength, the killer turned around, the metal arm reflected the cold light, caught the vibrating gold shield that tore through the air, and the buzzing sound shook endlessly.

"Bucky!" Steve yelled.

Even though the other party was wearing a mask, he could still see the appearance of his familiar friend in those eyes.

"Who the fuck is Bucky?"

The Winter Soldier couldn't recall any memories of the past. He raised his metal arm and threw the shield back with great strength. Captain America barely caught it with numb hands.

The opponent raised his pistol, but was kicked away by Falcon Sam wearing a jet-powered hang glider. His wings folded and folded. The newly joined black team shouted: "Do it, Steve!"

"Whether he was your friend before or not, this guy is a killer now! Fury, Pierce... you need to stop him!"

Steve caught the shield with a rare hesitant expression on his face. Before he could make a decision, a bunch of palm cannons hit the Winter Soldier who turned over and got up, and the steel armor fell from the sky.
