Marvel's Strange Magician

Chapter 51: Steve Returns

Just after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Watson, who had been unconscious for 6 hours, finally woke up.

Overcoming the dizzy feeling in his mind, Watson struggled to sit up.

He glanced around and saw that only Howard was around, so he directly bought a bottle of healing potion and swallowed it.

The powerful healing power of the healing potion quickly drove away the discomfort and pain in Watson's body, allowing Watson to regain most of his consciousness in a few seconds.

Watson silently looked at his rapidly healing left finger, and suddenly used it to pull out all the needles attached to his body.

His eyes, which were full of depression, also showed endless sadness.

"Hey, how are you, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Hearing the noise, Howard quickly broke away from the study of the phalange clamp, turned around and asked Watson with concern.

Watson shook his head, lowered his head and murmured:

"Why am I so stupid that I clearly saw something was wrong with Dottie but still didn't notice it?

If I had been more vigilant, Bucky wouldn’t have…”

"Watson, hey, look at me!"

Howard took Watson's shoulder and said firmly:

"We all know that this is Hydra's fault, do you want to bear their fault?

Watson, what you have to do is not wallow in pain here, but use your abilities to avenge Bucky!

The Red Skull is about to launch his crazy plan. Do you want the dream of the culprit who killed Bucky to come true? "

Watson clenched his fists tightly and squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth:

"He will never succeed! I will personally push him from the dream of becoming a god to the abyss of despair!"

Howard breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a bit of guilt in his slightly lowered eyes. He knew that he should not mislead Watson's emotions, but the war was imminent, and he had to ensure that Watson had enough fighting power to face the Red Skull who revealed his trump card. .

……

At around 7:20 in the evening, Steve and his team hurried back to the underground base.

At nearly 8 o'clock, the last batch of formal members of the Howling Commandos notified by Agent Carter also rushed back.

Because they were afraid that something would go wrong if Steve knew the news of Bucky's sacrifice, no one had told Steve Watson about their mission until now.

But Steve was concerned about this matter. When he returned to the base and saw the avoidant looks in other people's eyes when they looked at him, bad guesses naturally emerged in his mind.

But Steve didn't anxiously ask people for questions. He went to report the mission with a calm face, handed it to Zola, separated from his teammates, and returned to their respective rooms, looking as calm and calm as usual.

When he returned to his room, Steve didn't close the door or turn on the light. He just sat silently at the table, waiting for something.

On the other side of the base, Watson, who learned that Steve was back, was rushing towards Steve's room without saying a word.

The closer you get to Steve, the more you will understand what Bucky means to Steve.

Even if Watson and Bucky became good friends who were as good as brothers, he would have been extremely sad when he lost Bucky.

But whenever he thinks about the emotions Steve will have, even if he is already filled with rage affected by Howard's words, he will still feel guilty and worried involuntarily, and then become depressed again.

Agent Carter followed Watson beside her. Although Carter didn't want to see Steve's fragile appearance, she knew better that the man who was stronger than anyone else would lose half of his strength and strength today.

She didn't know how much comfort she could give Steve, but she knew that the man who liked her and she liked him would need her listening and companionship very much today.

The two walked to Steve's room and saw that the door was wide open but the room was dark inside. Watson's mood couldn't help but feel a little lower again.

Carter glanced at Watson, patted his back gently, and comforted him in a warm voice:

"It's not your fault, stop blaming yourself."

Seeing that Watson's mood didn't change at all, Carter could only sigh in his heart.

She walked into the room and turned on the light switch.

Steve in the room closed his eyes and looked up in the direction of the door. When his eyes swept across Carter and saw the emptiness behind Watson, his eyes suddenly flashed violently.

"Watson, how was the mission accomplished?

……

Where's Bucky? "

Steve raised the corners of his mouth far-fetched and asked in a lower tone than usual.

"Steve, Bucky jumped off the ice cliff to save me..."

Watson lowered his head, like a child who had made a big mistake, and replied in a low voice.

Carter looked at Watson helplessly and explained aloud:

"Steve, here's the thing. Before we met Dottie, she had actually been brainwashed by Hydra. Later..."

After listening to Carter's story, Steve's face suddenly lost all its luster. He put his hand on his forehead and hid most of his face under his palm.

“Bucky always said that sacrifice is the most common thing in war, but our Howling Commandos are always intact, which makes him happy, but it also makes him worried...

I also kept telling him that until I fell, he would never have to worry about this problem..."

Steve's low and gentle voice slowly sounded, and after a self-deprecating laugh at the end, his whole body fell silent in an instant.

"Steve, I..."

"Watson, can you just leave me alone for a while?"

Steve interrupted Watson calmly.

Watson's eyes suddenly dimmed, but he still wanted Steve's approval.

There are some things he must do.

So he did not exit the room directly, but spoke again:

"Steve, I want to go..."

"I said leave me alone!"

Steve suddenly shouted, although his tone was not serious, but he was extremely determined.

Watson closed his eyes bitterly, said no more, and exited the room.

"I know you are feeling very uncomfortable now, but you must cheer up. Watson will not be able to get over this blow until you regain your composure."

Carter walked to sit down in front of Steve and comforted him gently.

"Peggy, I want to be alone..."

"If you really want me to leave, then I can leave." Carter said first.

Steve sighed silently, wiped his eyes with his palms, raised his head, and said in a low voice:

"I should have carried out the mission on the train, knowing that it is a more dangerous place."

Carter looked into Steve's eyes and asked him seriously:

"Do you trust your friend? Do you trust his choices?"

Steve looked up at Carter with some confusion in his eyes.

"Your self-blame is actually denying his ability and denying his choice.

If you really respect him, then stop blaming yourself.

He is definitely willing to go through fire and water and bear any price to protect you. Even I firmly believe in this. "

"But I just want him to come back."
