"I know you will not hesitate to testify for Sergeant Barnes, Dr. Douglas." Lena said, "But I have to remind you again-SHIELD covered up your history of working for Hydra, Dr. , and if you testify in court, you will reveal all these things, and you will be prosecuted."

"I know." Garcia said, "Do we need anything else?"

"We still need many, many things." Linna said, "but what we can get now is what I said above."

"What about them." Garcia asked, "I only read part of the information from the newspaper. How will Stark's legal team plan to sue Bucky?"

"We don't have much information. We only know that they have been looking for evidence." Lina said, "The main thing is to prove that Sergeant Barnes was conscious when he assassinated others. They insist on this."

"How do they prove it?" Garcia asked.

"We don't know either." Lina said, "They kept it secret very well. The only information we know now is that Tony Stark rejected the joint plaintiff."

"Joint plaintiff?"

"Victims who have been hurt by the actions of the Winter Soldier came forward and offered to join Stark as a plaintiff, but he refused."

"Why?" Garcia frowned, puzzled.

"I don't know." Linna said, "But there is no doubt that this will be of some benefit to us."

Garcia nodded: "Thank you, lawyer."

"No." Lina said, "This is what I should do - Sergeant Barnes is our hero, and there is still a Bucky bear beside my daughter's bed."

Garcia smiled, although he didn't have any joy in his heart, but when it comes to children--when you bring up these light topics, people always expect others to smile.

"I have a TV show coming up in an hour," Lena said. "The lawsuit about Sergeant Barnes."

Garcia closed his eyes and said, "This is not a good thing."

Lina didn't speak.

"I just hope he can heal his wounds quietly. By Steve's side, too much attention is just pressure, and people's ignorant sympathy or malice will only add to his burden."

"He's very strong." Lina said, "Otherwise he wouldn't dare to take on all of this."

"I know." Garcia said, "But I can't help but think about it."

He left the law firm with Dr. Banner. He had already booked a hotel, so he said goodbye to Dr. Banner at the door of the law firm. When he just left, he asked: "So now, the Avengers—— "

"Tony no longer recognizes the existence of this alliance." Dr. Banner said, his brows were frowned, and he looked even a little sad.

"Thank you, Bruce," Garcia said, "for being on Bucky's side."

Dr. Banner shook his head: "No, Garcia, you don't need to thank me, this is what I should have done—I know the feeling, I can't control myself, and when I wake up, I find that everything around me has changed. None of us want to hurt anyone."

Garcia didn't say anything more, he nodded to Dr. Banner as a farewell.

When he arrived at the hotel, the first thing he did was to call Charles. He said that Wanda and Pietro hadn't recovered completely, but they were much better; Hannibal was a little taciturn, but there was no other problem. , but he is unwilling to show his mutant ability.

Then he said that he hoped that things are going well with Garcia, and that he can help if there is anything he can do.

"Thank you, Charles," Garcia said.

That night he watched the program on TV, a current affairs commentary program, and Linna was indeed on it. She stared at the camera and said word by word: "In this tragedy, James Barnes, who is A former WWII hero - he was also a victim, imagine a man who was willing to sacrifice his life for his country, but was brainwashed to work for an organization he hated; he fell for the very people he wanted to protect He got off the train, but was controlled and killed those he once protected at all costs. The kinder he is, the more painful he is now—and what I can guarantee is that he is immersed in it now."

Garcia was watching TV, and it was raining again outside the window. He picked up the pen provided by the hotel and began to write something on the paper in front of him.

It was a form to be filled out by witnesses required.

At the end of the show, his cell phone rang, he glanced at the screen, and connected.

"Bucky," he said, "how are you doing today?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.

"It's okay," Bucky said, "What about you?"

"Okay." Garcia said.

"I'm outside your room," Bucky said, "Bruce tell me where you live."

Upon hearing this, Garcia immediately got up and opened the door at almost a running speed.Sure enough, he was standing outside the door, with short hair, wearing a jacket, jeans, and cap, looking like a plumber.

Garcia didn't know how this metaphor came to his mind, for no reason, even a little funny.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Garcia said, "Come in." He moved out of the way, and Bucky also entered the room.

"Linna told me that you will be present as a witness." Bucky's first sentence was this.

"Steve told me you didn't want to get involved with this," Garcia said.

"You will be charged."

"You are being sued."

Garcia and Bucky looked at each other, and they laughed at the same time.

"What are we thinking?" Garcia said, "Both of us are poor bastards who can't protect themselves."

Bucky and Garcia hugged, and there was no unnecessary emotion in it, as if they were just two people together, comforting each other with hugs, Garcia did feel a certain piece of relaxation in his heart, there was even a warm but Sour little bubbles.

"That's what I had to do, Garcia," Bucky said. "I need to take responsibility for what I did. We can't run from the lights forever."

"I know." Garcia said, "That's why I didn't mind control you and drag you to a place out of the control of any government to escape trial."

"Thank you for understanding me, Garcia." Bucky said.

"Because I know you, Bucky." Garcia said, and the words came out without even passing through his mind, as if instinctively, "And I love you."
