A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

The next day.

A black car stopped at the door of the fortune-telling house.

Steve and Natasha got out of the car, opened the trunk and carried Bucky, who was wrapped in bandages and tied to a stretcher, into the house.

Hela glanced at them and stopped paying attention, watching TV by herself.

Jane walked into the studio silently and called Aaron out.

"You are so efficient!" Aaron looked at Bucky's right arm and legs with interest after coming out, "The wounds have been treated."

"Thanks to your potions." Natasha said half-jokingly, "Fury is also generous for once."

"Huh?" Aaron was stunned for a moment, and then figured out something, "It's his style. One Captain America is not enough, he also wants a Winter Soldier."

Natasha shrugged and did not comment.

"You just left Hydra and joined S.H.I.E.L.D., your luck is unmatched." Aaron said with emotion, looking at Bucky with a little more pity.

At this time, Bucky seemed to think of what happened yesterday, and immediately struggled, and the ropes on his body made a slight sound, as if they were about to be broken.

"Bucky, calm down, calm down." Steve hurriedly comforted him.

Although he told Bucky a lot of their past experiences, which made him a little more stable, it was only a temporary solution after all. Hydra had brainwashed him too deeply.

"Tsk! Remember to eat but not to be beaten!" Aaron curled his lips, "Jane, teach him a lesson, don't kill him."

"Okay." Jane nodded respectfully, looking directly at Bucky on the stretcher, "Pain."

"Ah!"

Bucky suddenly felt countless red-hot iron sticks inserted into every inch of his skin, twitching violently in pain, and screaming heartbreakingly.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Steve roared angrily.

Jane removed the burning spell and blinked indifferently, "I just want him to be quiet.

Look, isn't he very honest now?"

Steve looked at Bucky, who was sweating all over and seemed to be about to faint, and was immediately furious, "Is this how you make him quiet?"

"Very effective, isn't it?"

"Jane, understand, after all, they are brothers who have shared life and death.

And you, Steve, I promised to cure him, but if the patient has this attitude, you should have knocked him out before you came."

"This is indeed our negligence." Natasha smiled and smoothed things over, "Aaron, who is this... person?"

"A vampire! Didn't Fury find out?"

"I know she is a vampire, but she doesn't seem to be the same as the vampires I have seen."

"What you saw should be just a low-level vampire, a blood servant who collects blood outside." Jane raised her snow-white neck with some pride, "He and I We are different. Before being recruited by Gaius, I was considered a noble among the Undead, and nobles will not show up easily. "

"Yes! I spent a lot of effort to dig her here!"

"I don't want to know these, I just want to know how Bucky can recover his memory."

Aaron simply reached out, "Please pay the medical expenses first."

Steve hesitated for a moment and took out a bank card from his pocket, "Two million, all here, borrowed from Peggy."

"Generous." Aaron took the bank card and threw it to Hela casually, "Don't say I wronged you, spend it sparingly."

"Hehe!" Hela rolled her eyes at him and sneered, "Is it appropriate to pretend in front of me?"

"In front of outsiders, give me some face."

"Tsk!"

Natasha looked at Hela thoughtfully. Aaron was already very mysterious in her eyes, but this woman seemed to be no less mysterious than him.

But she was tactful and didn't ask any more questions. After all, SHIELD couldn't find any information, and her public identity was Aaron's cousin.

"Can you tell me now?" Steve asked anxiously.

"No problem." Aaron snapped his fingers and looked at Natasha meaningfully, "My things should be returned!"

"What? I don't know what you are talking about."

"Jane."

"Wait." Natasha's face changed and she interrupted immediately, "Return it, is it necessary to be so stingy?"

"Correction, it's not that I'm stingy, but that thing was originally mine.

Someone shamelessly stole it and thought I didn't know!"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Natasha's eyes, and she reluctantly took out a palm-sized box from behind.

Opening the box, there was an octagonal rune with a few cracks, and a light green sheep pattern was printed in the middle.

"If you had used this sheep charm on Dr. Selvig, he wouldn't have taken psychiatric drugs as food, let alone run naked in Stonehenge.

A doctor of astrophysics suddenly became infamous, how sad!"

Natasha's face twitched slightly, "I didn't expect the sequelae of being controlled by Loki would be so serious."

"Maybe you just think Dr. Selvig is not as important as Barton." Aaron said with a faint smile, then picked up the sheep charm and pressed it on Barton's forehead to stimulate the few soul energies in it.

In an instant, a gentle light spread from the charm, and Bucky's dilated pupils gradually became more energetic under the illumination of this light.

After a few seconds, the surface of the sheep charm was covered with cracks and turned into dust, while Bucky closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Done, the previous dark hole has been filled.

"That's it." Steve asked doubtfully.

"It should be...!"

"Huh? What does 'should' mean?"

“After all, this spell is incomplete and its effect is not perfect.

He has been brainwashed many times, and he is not sure whether Hydra will have a secret hand.

What I can ensure is that Bucky's memory can be restored, but not all memories can be restored in an instant, otherwise his brain may not be able to withstand it. "Aaron explained patiently, "My suggestion is to stay with me for a few days to observe, at least to make sure he is not the Winter Soldier before letting him out. "

"Okay, then I'll wait here for a few days."

"Sorry, I don't have any extra beds here."

"The sofa will do, too."

"There are no extra sofas."

"Have you opened the main office on the ground floor?"

"Steve." Natasha interjected speechlessly, "Aaron probably means that he doesn't want you to disturb Bucky's recovery."

"I won't interrupt." Steve said seriously, "Bucky is my best friend. I should be by his side at this time. I promise not to do anything unnecessary."

"It's precisely because you are his good friend that we have to prevent him from seeing you." Aaron said nonsense seriously. He also wanted to talk to Bucky about becoming his favored one. It's not easy to talk about having another Steve. ah!

"What Bucky needs now is to recover slowly, receive memories bit by bit, and enhance the brain's endurance, and you will stimulate his brain exactly."

Steve frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong. He immediately looked at Natasha and asked, "Is that so?"

"You asked the wrong person!" Natasha pointed at Aaron, "He is the doctor.

But Aaron is still very reliable when it comes to business matters. How about you wait for a few days? "

“I’ll let you know as soon as he recovers a bit.

One day at most. If he's lucky, he might be able to remember everything after he wakes up. "

"That's...okay!" Steve struggled to make a decision, "Remember to inform me in time."

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

Steve and Natasha looked at each other and walked out of the divination room.

"Is this person useful to you?" Hela smiled meaningfully, "His memory should have been restored by now!"

"What are you talking about?" Aaron said with a dry smile, and then ordered Jane to take Bucky to the living area on the right.

"I just have something to talk to him about, but before that I let him have a good sleep."

...

A few hours later, Bucky opened his eyes drowsily.

He looked at the bright ceiling and felt as if he had had a very, very long dream, and it was a nightmare.

Falling off a cliff, captured by Hydra, reformed, brainwashed, killed...

After a while, he seemed to have come to his senses from the very real dream, and when he was about to sit up, he realized that he was tied to a stretcher.

He struggled hard, and as soon as the stretcher made a little noise, Aaron came over and said, "Do you remember who I am?"

"How could I..." Bucky was about to say something when yesterday's memories flooded into his mind. He swallowed nervously and turned to look to his left side in a daze.

The empty left arm made him realize a terrible truth. That nightmare seemed... real.

After understanding this, Bucky's eyes suddenly dimmed, his body was shaking uncontrollably, his breathing was rapid and disordered, and his voice became choked.

"What on earth did I do?" Bucky looked at Aaron and asked with difficulty.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that it was controlled by Hydra for more than half a century, and many people who hindered Hydra's development were killed for them.

It is guaranteed that you are responsible for twenty assassinations. It is roughly estimated that the number of good people who can influence the times who have died at your hands in the past few decades has ranged from less than 100 to 80.

I know this is hard to accept, but the fact is that a man full of justice was forced to become a demon with blood on his hands. "

Upon hearing this, Bucky felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his whole body stiffened instantly.

During the period of cerebral palsy, he felt his heart throb extremely hard, his emotions of regret spread rapidly, and his strong sense of guilt caused tears to flow from his eyes uncontrollably.

"What did I do? Why me? Why didn't they kill me?"

"This way of torturing people seems to be much more interesting than death." A hint of disdain appeared on the corner of Hela's mouth, "It's just that I don't like it very much."

"His Royal Highness Hela doesn't like to torture people. This is really the luck of the Nine Realms!" Aaron said in a strange tone, then untied Bucky's restraints and handed a cup of amber liquid to him.

"Tide of the Dionysian Whale, you might need some alcohol right now."

Bucky didn't answer, but looked at Aaron warily, "Who are you?"

"I forgot to introduce myself, how rude." Aaron slapped his forehead pretending to be annoyed, and immediately drank the wine in the glass, "I am Aaron Gaius, the person who will help you restore your memory.

This black Naganao sister who exudes an aura that keeps strangers away is Hela... Hela Gaius, my cousin.

No matter what happens to you, you'd better not mess with her, otherwise I won't be able to protect you.

This cold and beautiful lady is Jane Volturi, my maid.

I finally hired her. Don't be fooled by her beauty. You can't beat her.

This harmless young dragon is Abe, my pet.

Be polite to it, maybe it can protect you in the future. "

Bucky:......

No need to introduce it in such detail!

Although he complained in his heart, Bucky also knew that Aaron was not teasing him. None of this family was easy to deal with. The trauma brought to him by Jane alone was still fresh in his memory.

"Excuse me, to what extent have you recovered your memory?"

"I remember everything I should remember." Bucky said with a sullen face.

"Including the fact that I shot you so many times yesterday?" Aaron asked tentatively.

"Including."

"Very good, then do you feel something is wrong?

I'm not exaggerating. After all, it was Hydra who brainwashed you. I just restored your memory, but I'm not sure if there are any hidden dangers. "

Bucky paused, and some dark fragments suddenly appeared in his mind. He felt a splitting headache just trying to recall.

"Ah!" Bucky roared in pain, vaguely seeing an officer in military uniform holding a red notebook in front of him and reading a string of ordinary but unrelated words.

After coming back to his senses, Bucky shivered suddenly, his face turned extremely pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"It seems that the hidden danger does exist." Aaron seemed to have expected it, "and it's not small."

"A string of passwords." Bucky's voice trembled, "They can control me again through that string of passwords, without brainwashing, just read it out in front of me.

After reading it out, I will become the Winter Soldier again and obey all orders. "

"How cruel." Aaron said perfunctorily.

"How boring." Hela curled her lips in disdain.

"Uh...you said this too hurtfully! "

"Compared to the suffering I have endured, he can be said to be very happy, just killing a few people."

Aaron's face twitched, and he almost forgot that Hela was the goddess of death who grew up in a sea of ​​blood and corpses, and she could not be viewed with common sense at all.

"Don't mind, my cousin is a patient with deep paranoia." Aaron laughed awkwardly and changed the subject, "So what are you going to do next?"

"I, I don't know.

Maybe suicide is a good choice."

"You can't think like that." Aaron immediately advised, if Bucky committed suicide, wouldn't he have worked in vain?

"Think about your parents, no, think about your wife, no, think about your friends.

Steve is still waiting for you? You were brainwashed by Hydra and lost yourself, and he is not much better, being frozen for seventy years.

He is incompatible with this era, and he needs you as a close friend too much. Do you have the heart to abandon him and use death to escape all this?"
