When Garcia arrived in New York, Bruce Banner picked him up in front of the law firm.

This is somewhat unexpected, but it is also reasonable.Bucky and Steve, or Natasha and Clint, Coulson, those members of S.H.I.E.L.D. that he is familiar with are busy saving the world or other work, and their time is busy finding ways for Bucky Getting acquitted was filled with so many more things, and even though Bucky went to court, he didn't give up fighting with Steve.

Dr. Banner, by contrast, was not sent on these missions—because of his instability, he was not, for the most part, reassured by others, or rather, not as reassured as the rest of the population.

He was standing in front of the law firm, apparently he had just come out not long ago, and not many people noticed him.He lowered his head, occasionally looked at the people around him, and when he saw Garcia, he showed a smile.

"Dr. Banner." Garcia stepped forward and entered the law firm with Bruce Banner.The ace lawyer inside is Natasha's friend, and once owed Natasha a big favor. Natasha found her, and she obliged to agree to Natasha's request.

"Just call me Bruce." Dr. Banner said, "Steve and Natasha both have things, so I..."

"I know," Garcia said. "Thank you, Bruce."

"No, it's nothing." Bruce said, "Bucky is a—very good friend and a very good person, and I would do this for him."

"Have you talked to the lawyer?" Garcia asked. "I read in the newspaper that the trial is in three days."

"We've talked about it, Lena—our lawyer, told us not to worry, you can ask her for details." Bruce said.

"Okay." Garcia said, speechless for a while.

He and Bruce are not familiar with each other, not to mention that his thoughts are very messy now, and he has been worrying about Bucky, so he didn't say anything along the way, and Garcia didn't speak again until he got to the lawyer's office.

"Dr. Douglas." Garcia guessed that the woman in front of her was Lina—she was about 30 years old, with red hair, a little darker than Natasha's red hair, and her facial contours were so deep that it made people feel aggressive. Sex, doesn't seem like a mild person.

"Miss Linna." Garcia said.

"Sit down." The female lawyer who just got up sat down behind the desk again, and Garcia and Bruce sat across from her.

"What's the situation now?" Garcia asked, "I read in the newspaper that Tony Stark sued Bucky for intentional homicide——James Barnes. Do we have any way to deal with it?"

Seeing that Garcia went straight to the point, the lawyer was also very straightforward: "We only need to prove that what Sergeant Barnes did was not his intention, but was carried out under the control of Hydra, and the matter will be resolved." Mostly. Although he cannot be completely exonerated, it can at least prove his partial innocence."

"How do we prove this?" Garcia asked.

"Testimony, many Hydras are in custody now, and I believe many of them have seen the Winter Soldier."

"They can prove that Bucky was tortured, they saw it." Garcia said, "How can they prove that Bucky was controlled?"

"A person, if his behavior needs to be tortured to complete, then at least it means that it was not his intention." Lina said, "But this is still weak evidence; we still have some paper documents, which is the captain Got it from S.H.I.E.L.D., when S.H.I.E.L.D. seized a New York research institute—”

"I know," Garcia said, "I worked in that institute before."

"Yes," Linna said, "Those paper documents can also provide part of the proof."

"And then?" Garcia asked, "do we need any other evidence?"

"Of course," Linna said, "the best guess is that we can find someone who has had direct contact with the Winter Soldier—we went to Pierce, and Pierce is unwilling to testify about it."

"Of course." Garcia said.

"There are very few remaining Winter Soldier patrons, and we're not sure we'll be able to find them in such a short period of time. All that's left are scientists who have had contact with the Winter Soldier."

"Me." Garcia said.

"Yes, Dr. Douglas." Lina said, "You are the closest person."

"I would," Garcia said. "I could say anything about it."

"But this will put you in danger." Lina said, "I know from the captain that S.H.I.E.L.D. has helped you cover up your service for Hydra, but if you testify in court, it is very likely that you will continue after that. being sued; and, you’ve had a lost thesis plagiarism lawsuit, which will likely reduce your credibility before the judge, although it won’t make the testimony inadmissible, but it is a disadvantage for us.”

"The plagiarism of the thesis." Garcia said, the wound was too long, so long that if Lina didn't mention it, he would have almost forgotten it, but suddenly remembered, he still found it difficult to breathe, the plagiarism of the thesis has always been Buried in the deepest part of his heart, but it is the last thing he wants to mention - because he knows that it is the origin of all tragedies.

"I didn't do that." Garcia said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. knew it, and Hydra knew it, otherwise why didn't they let the person who'was' plagiarized thesis be a consultant, but let me come?"

"This can be stated in front of the judge as a defense." Lina said, "But you have still lost the case, Dr. Douglas, and you have a criminal record in the law."

"Do you have any other options?" Garcia asked. "I remember I had two assistants, Edward and Houdini—can you find them?"

"I'll talk to the captain about it," Lina said, "but the trial is only three days away."

"Do we have any other concerns?" Garcia asked.

Lina paused, looked at Garcia, and said, "There is one more question."

"The court has a precedent of not allowing mutants with psychic powers to enter the court."

Garcia took a deep breath: "But we can still testify in the rest of the place, right."

"This requires an application, but it shouldn't be a big problem; if we can find the rest of Hydra's witnesses, we don't have to consider these issues." Lina said.

"So if you don't find it, I will attend as a witness." Garcia said.

"Yes," Lina replied, "but this is the least ideal situation, because if you go to court, there will be more problems involved-maybe the judge will press you to take Sergeant Barnes out of Hydra What happened afterwards."

"I see." Garcia said.
