The unfamiliar and familiar name echoed in the man's mouth and drifted away along the valley.

WWII, army, training, comrades, Steve Rogers.

Encourage, struggle, cooperate, rely on.

The dusty past gradually opened, and the shackles that imprisoned the mind were cut off by the girl's power.

The super soldiers created by the Soviet Union disappeared here.

The hero who once belonged to the Howling Commando is back.

[Anomalous mental intervention succeeded]

[Nerve cues are eliminated]

The girl's golden eyes shone faintly, and the sturdy man in front of her gradually became calmer.

"Ah... this feels terrible, like being drunk for years..."

Bucky Barnes covered his forehead and said slowly, "I can't spit it out... vomit!"

"Wow!"

The man in front of him suddenly retched, so frightened Kagura Hitomi bounced off the ground, "You, you...don't vomit! It's disgusting!"

"Oh, sorry……"

Bucky swallowed and coughed a few times. "Hey, you... who are you? Where is this place?"

"I... what's wrong with me?"

Bucky stared blankly at the beautiful silver-haired girl in front of him, "Wow, you are so beautiful."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Kagura Hitomi smiled, "Well, to be on the safe side, let me ask, are you Bucky Barnes?"

Although he had already interfered with the other party's brain, Kagura Hitomi habitually confirmed his identity to himself.

"That's right, I'm Bucky Barnes, and I..."

As his emotions calmed down, Bucky seemed to start recalling his memories over the years, "I feel like I've been tied down by something for a long, long time... Ah, did I do all those things?"

An incredible look began to appear in Bucky's eyes, "God, what the hell have I done?"

"You...you saved me? Did you help me get rid of that damn word suggestion?"

"I think so, Mr. Barnes."

"...Thank you, little sister."

Bucky sighed, "That's quite an involuntary feeling, like being poured down tons of spirits... Uncomfortable, irresistible, guilty, guilty, regretful..."

His eyes slowly flattened, as if staring into the distance, "They tortured me, brainwashed me, and ordered me to work for them."

"You're all right now."

Kagura Hitomi said, "You can be yourself, Mr. Bucky Barnes."

"How many years is it now?"

Bucky asked.

"Welcome to 2009, Mr. Barnes."

Kagura Hitomi replied with a smile.

"Do not……"

The chaotic memory in his mind was finally sorted out, but Bucky had a painful expression on his face, "I have committed monstrous sins for decades, God, how did I become like this..."

"That's not your will, Mr. Barnes."

Kagura Hitomi said, "You can now return to the right path."

"Thank you for your kindness, but..."

Bucky shook his head, "I've killed a lot of people, a lot of innocent people, and done a lot of unethical things, and I've become a tool for others... I'm no longer ashamed, little girl."

"But you've been brainwashed, that's not your intention."

Kagura Hitomi retorted.

"But that's still a sin I have to bear."

Bucky continued, "Sorry, I can't accept myself like this."

He looked up at the dark blue night sky, "So, let me end it, this is the only compensation I can make."

Kagura pupil's golden eyes trembled slightly, "No, this is not the reason for you to escape, I don't think it is the behavior of the responsible person to die, I know other people with unbearable past, they chose to bear the burden and move forward, You can too."

"That's their choice, little sister."

He smiled. "In my time, people didn't behave the same way as you do. What's your name?"

"God Letong."

The girl replied, "My name is Kagura Hitomi."

"God Letong..."

Bucky put the pistol in the hands of Kagura Hitomi, "This is my choice, I can't continue to live with such a heavy sin, I may not be a hero, but I am a warrior."

"I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble..."

Saying that, he pressed the muzzle of the gun to his forehead, "So, please give me the ending that a soldier deserves."

The girl was silent.

The night wind blew, and the silver hair brushed across her white cheeks, gradually returning to the calm battlefield, and the smoke slowly dissipated.

"Steve Rogers is still alive."

"what?"

Bucky looked shocked, "This... this is impossible, this is 2009."

"Yes, it's 2009, but you're still alive, aren't you?"

The girl smiled, "Mr. Barnes, are you willing to continue to live as a soldier for your old friend?"

Bucky was silent.

"I'm not a good person anymore, Kagura Hitomi, I'm no longer qualified to see him again."

"You may not be a good person, but you can still be a hero."

The two looked at each other.

Bucky Barnes seemed to think for a long time.

"Tell me, Kagura Hitomi, is there any meaning to my existence in this era?"

"of course."

"But my sins are enough to kill me dozens of times."

"It depends on how you atone, Mr. Barnes, whether to be a condemned man or a reformed hero."

"I……"

Bucky's eyes twinkled brightly, "If you can give me a chance, I want to be a hero, and I think only then can I be qualified to face Steve Rogers."

"Then I'll give you a chance like that."

Kagura Hitomi smiled.

"But... how?"

"It's very simple, the dead don't need to go to court martial."

"...Are we discussing yet another fake-death fraud?"

"Justice or not is not what the world thinks of you, but what you do yourself. Do you believe me? Mr. Barnes."

"I……"

Bucky was silent for a while, "You saved my life, so I trust you."

"Ah."

Kagura Hitomi pointed the pistol at Bucky's chest, "Then, see you later."

"boom!"

……

——PS——

Regarding the Winter Soldier, I'm definitely trying to save him.

He shouldn't be dead, but should be burdened with what he's done and detached from being a true superhero.

Trying to give everyone the best ending, this is what Tongtong has always expected.

-

The bounty is in progress! (?????)!

you know!You understand it! ! !

18 Bear the cost of the past

Gunshots.

The Winter Soldier created by the former Soviet Union is gone.

Kagura Hitomi was alone for a long time.

Should one be responsible for past sins, or should one be held responsible for unintentional wrongdoing?

How should "good people" be defined?

What kind of existence should a "hero" be?
