Mary returned to the house with the food, and saw Steven and Mark sitting on the sofa in the living room talking together. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Steven, and went straight to the kitchen with the food in silence.

Steven's gaze has been closely following Mary since he entered the room, making Mark, who was sitting by the side, see a gleam of interest in his eyes.He asked Steven, "How did you and Mary meet?"

"Us?" Steven thought for a moment when he heard the words. The first time he saw Mary, she was sneaking behind him and Bucky. At that time, they all thought she was sent by some force or official. Later... with deep eyes, he smiled lightly and said, "Fox Orphanage, we met there!"

"Fox Orphanage? Aha, what a coincidence, isn't it? Ashley and I also saw our little Mary there." Mark said with a smile.

Steven nodded and said, "She told me that you and Ashley are..."

"Adoptive parents! We adopted her. It's a pity that her younger sister was settled by another family before us. Otherwise, we would have such a pair of lovely twin daughters." Mark took the history There was a look of regret on Tiven's face. "If we adopted that other child, maybe she..." He couldn't help sighing when he thought of this.

Steven stared at Mark and asked, "You know... her sister Julie" is missing?He didn't ask, because he had already seen the answer to this question from Mark's face.

Mark leaned on the sofa, with self-blame in his eyes, a wry smile on his lips, and said: "Julie will come to Seattle to spend every holiday with us. You may already know that we still have Julie's photos at home and here. Room, although we didn't adopt Julie, we treat her and Mary as our own children. After the child disappeared, Ashley and I used a lot of relationships to find it, but..." He shook his head, Looking towards the kitchen, he said in a low voice: "I know Mary is still looking for it secretly. If possible, can I ask you to help Mary?"

Steven nodded and said, "I will."

With a grateful look on Mark's face, he sighed, "Thank you."

Ashley walked in and heard the two conversations between them. She reached out and patted Steven on the shoulder lightly, nodded and said, "Thank you very much! Steven, you are really kind!" After finishing speaking , she walked to Mark and sat down beside Mark with an information bag in her hand.

Mark took the information bag from Ashley, passed it to Steven, and said, "This is what you want, a fake prop."

Steven took the information bag, opened it and took a look. Inside were thick documents and a USB flash drive. He raised his eyes to Mark and said, "Thank you, Professor Walter."

"Oh, I guess you'd like to call me Mark." Mark said with a smile, "We're pretty familiar now, aren't we?"

Steven smiled, nodded kindly and said, "Okay, Mark."

Ashley looked at Steven and asked, "So he prepared this for you!"

Steven hummed and said, "Yeah, I need this for, uh, a prop."

Mark smiled and said, "That's right. Hope your plan works out."

Ashley looked at Steven, with concern in her eyes, and asked, "Is there any danger? I'm sorry, Mark is mysterious, he didn't tell me much, I just hope you can tell me more, of course, It's not that I don't trust you, after all, you're Captain America, aren't you?"

Steven was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that Mary should have told him his real identity, and he said with a trace of uneasiness on his face, "I won't let Bucky hurt anyone, and I don't want him to wake up after he wakes up." , I feel uncomfortable for what I did when I was controlled."

"Bucky, is that the one who came to get this information?" Ashley asked.

Steven nodded affirmatively.

Ashley sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

Mark held her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have prepared the information for him, and then we just have to wait patiently." He looked at Steven and said, "When the time comes, Just focus on catching him."

Steven didn't say a word, but looked at Mark who was smiling brightly and Ashley who was faintly worried, with complicated expressions on his face, and said, "I see."

The night fell on this silent mountain forest with the gradually increasing rain, and the whole world seemed to have only the sound of heavy rain falling on the mountain forest lake.

According to the next step agreed upon at dinner, Mark and Ashley went back to the room to rest, while Steven entered Mark's study.

After Mary finished washing the dishes, she came out of the kitchen. She stopped in front of the door of her room, turned her head to look at the study on the side, thought for a while, and walked over quietly. The door of the study was only ajar, and she looked go in.

The lights were not turned on in the study, and Mary only saw Steven's back. He was standing in front of the French window of the study, staring at the dark lake outside the window. She reached out and pushed the door open.

Steven noticed her very keenly, turned around, and looked at the door.

Mary lit the lamp, walked up to Steven, looked up at him, and said nothing.

Steven stared back at her silently.

Mary looked at him seriously and said, "Hope, you can catch your Bucky smoothly today."

The corners of Steven's lips curled up slightly, he nodded, and whispered: "Thank you, I hope so too."

"Well, I just want to tell you this." Mary smiled and took a step back, "Also, thank you for giving me this..." She patted her pocket, where Steven gave her that gun.

Steven smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite."

Mary glanced at the fake information he put on the table, hesitated, turned and left, however, she stopped suddenly at the door of the room, turned to him and asked: "No accident, we should see each other again later Is it not coming?"

Steven looked at her, smiled softly, and said, "We're friends, aren't we?"

Mary nodded, reached out and grabbed the doorknob to close the door gently for him.

The rain is still falling.

In the dark room, Mary sat on the bed with her knees hugged. The gun Steven gave her was in her hand. There was only one bullet in it, which was enough as a self-defense weapon. She fixed her eyes on the window, concentrating on Listening to the movement around.As time got later and later, the sound of the rain outside the window became louder and louder, like countless fingers beating on the roof of the wooden house, and also beating on Mary's heart. She stood up, grabbed the gun and walked towards the door. At this moment , She heard an extremely slight click from outside the window. It was a gadget that Steven had arranged outside in advance. If someone stepped on it, it would make the sound of dead branches breaking.

At the same time, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study were quietly opened from the outside.

Steven sat in front of the desk in a leisurely manner, watched the familiar black shadow enter the study room with wet steam, and said softly, "You are finally here, Bucky."
