Winter Soldier

New York, the Avengers Building, the inventor Tony Stark, who was immersed in the update of the Mark Mecha series for more than 30 hours, finally couldn't stand the protest of his empty stomach, and reluctantly walked out of the laboratory.

With a black circle on his head, he fumbled to the living room and kitchen to find something to eat. Finally, he found some peanut butter base and a few dry slices of bread in the empty refrigerator. Billionaire Stark is pitiful With a piece of bread in his mouth, peanut butter and a coffee cup in his hand, he walked out of the kitchen in a trance and staggeringly.

As soon as he looked up, uh... was startled by Captain America who quietly appeared on the sofa, and almost scared the slice of bread out of his mouth, Stark hurriedly caught the slice of bread, which was the last bit he could eat.

After finally saving the slice of bread, Stark swayed to the bar and sat down, drank a few sips of coffee, washed down the dry bread in his mouth, calmed the protests in his stomach, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the captain. body.

Stark turned his head to look at the sun hanging high outside with an exaggerated expression, then looked at the blond captain who appeared here abnormally, and said slowly: "NANA, Jarvis, what time is it?"

"Sir, it's 10:18 in the morning. You haven't slept for 32 hours. It's recommended to take a rest immediately." The elegant London accent sounded all around.

Stark blinked, chose to ignore the butler's suggestion, turned his head to look at the captain who was as silent as a statue not far away, and joked: "Oh, old Popsicle, why are you free to come here at this time today! It's the moon!"

The elevator door in the living room opened suddenly, and Falcon Sam stepped out, responding to Stark's joke while walking, "Stark, give me the bread if you don't eat it, I've been busy all night and I'm hungry!"

"Gentlemen, I have already ordered 4 takeaway fast food, and it will arrive in 15 minutes, please wait a moment." The caring butler Jarvis reminded.

"Oh, Jarvis, you are so sweet!" Sam flung himself into the soft sofa, slumped in it, and sighed contentedly.

As soon as he heard that there would be fresh food, Stark also stopped eating the dry bread that choked him to death, and drank coffee in one gulp, asking curiously, "What are you two up to lately? I haven't seen anyone for two weeks."

Captain America still maintains a rare decadent posture, leaning on the sofa, staring blankly and silent, Sam rubbed his gurgling stomach while explaining with fatigue on his face: "Since seeing the Winter Soldier on the sky carrier, He was nowhere to be seen, although the Hydra was broken, but the captain was worried that he would be caught and used by some remnants, so he asked me to find out the news."

Speaking of this, Sam, a loyal fan of Captain America, took a worried look at the decadent idol, and then said, "A while ago, I heard from a well-informed comrade that a suspected Winter Soldier had appeared in Algeria. The captain has been busy for two weeks, followed the clues to Kosovo but couldn't find any traces, it was a waste of work."

"Oh! It was the disbandment of SHIELD more than a month ago. Unfortunately, Petz and I were on vacation in the Virgin Islands and couldn't catch up. But let me say that SHIELD should have been disbanded a long time ago, poor Fred. Director Rui's career!" Stark said without sincerity, he has always had a bad impression of the mysterious black bald director.

"However, is there no news about the Winter Soldier?" Stark raised his eyebrows in surprise, expressing contempt for their low-efficiency investigation and action capabilities, "NANA, who else can compare to the capable Jarvis when it comes to finding people?" , Comeon, baby, pull up a month's worth of tracks of all the people with a 90% facial similarity to the Winter Soldier, oh, and Colin Carlos'."

"Okay, sir, I'll collect all the public camera images immediately, and it will take 5 minutes to compare and calculate, please wait a moment." The AI ​​butler gracefully said that this is not a problem.

Hearing the butler's report, Stark was no longer sleepy, and asked curiously and gossipingly, "That Winter Soldier is really the sergeant of the Roaring Team who has been rumored to have died? An antique that also lived for more than 90 years, are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure he's Bucky, I can't mistake his appearance." The captain who had been silent all this time suddenly said, slowly but firmly, he did not allow others to doubt the existence of his friend, "And...that super soldier Colin also confirmed Bucky's identity." When it comes to Colin, whose identity is a mystery and who behaves strangely, he has to awkwardly recall Colin's complicated words on the aircraft carrier. The relationship is weird.

Thinking of this, the creases between Captain America's brows squeezed deeper. He was worried about his friend's memory status and Colin's unknown motives. In short, there were 1 worries.

In the silence, the butler's elegant London accent sounded again, "Sir, after searching, the images of the Winter Soldier and Colin finally appeared in a private port in Los Angeles. Algeria."

"Wow! That playboy really got mixed up with the Winter Soldier! He actually knew the Winter Soldier a long time ago! What is his background?" Stark, who was smart, grasped the key person keenly. The curiosity of the super soldier who also has the status of a playboy is aroused.

"I don't know." Captain America replied sullenly.

Sam, who was turned around and questioned by Stark, simply shrugged, saying that he didn't know either.

"Oh! Mysterious character!" Stark raised his eyebrows slightly, and decided to check it out if he had the chance. He likes to guess puzzles, especially the ones that no one else knows.

"Sir, the takeaway has arrived downstairs, please sign for it." The elegant London accent interrupted Stark's endless conjectures. The genius inventor and billionaire immediately succumbed to the call of his stomach, abandoned all strategic ideas, and walked upstairs. Down.

……………@@………………

I have spent 3 months peacefully in Andorra. At this time, it is August when the trees are full of shade and cool to escape the heat.

In the afternoon, Colin walked around from Andorra la Vella to replenish some ingredients and daily necessities, and drove home with big bags and small bags, but he couldn't find the Winter Soldier after looking around the house.

"Winter Soldier! Barnes?" He yelled twice, but no one answered. Colin thought for a while, put down his things, turned and walked out the door, and walked towards the hillside behind the house.

After turning over two steep ridges, facing a small rippling lake inlaid in the valley, next to it is an undulating and gentle grassland. Can't feel the heat of summer.

Colin looked around while walking, and finally fixed his eyes on a huge gray rock. Sure enough, he walked around the two-meter-high rock, and found the Winter Soldier on the side of the rock with one hand behind his head, half leaning and half lying on the smooth surface. Standing on the rock, staring blankly at the sparkling lake.

Seeing the Winter Soldier who didn't respond to his arrival, Colin remained silent, randomly picked a flat grass to sit down, and quietly enjoyed the breath of life in nature.

The two of them, sitting and lying down, were silent, surrounded by a quiet and peaceful familiar atmosphere. Colin casually rested his elbows on his bent knees, feeling that every cell in his body was extremely relaxed. The Winter Soldier's habitually tight lips Unknowingly relax a lot.

"I think of some things about living in Brooklyn. At that time, the poor couldn't even afford milk, and there were thick brown bread and mashed potatoes, but I could feel that I was very poor at that time. Happy." The Winter Soldier's slightly hoarse voice sounded by the lake.

Colin casually picked up the round pebbles at his feet, fiddled with them, and lazily commented: "When you have hope and satisfaction, you will be happy. I was like this when I didn't know my situation before I was eleven or twelve years old. That was the feeling. The sky is very blue."

Hearing Colin's self-mockery, the corners of the Winter Soldier's mouth twitched slightly, imagining the youthful, innocent and carefree Colin, inexplicably feeling that he was a little cute and a pity that he was missed.

After relaxing, the Winter Soldier's brows slowly gathered again, "I also remembered some episodes of joining the army and fighting, and the past when the train fell off the cliff. Captain America appeared. In my memory, I call him Steve." The Winter Soldier Concentrating on a cold face, with complicated emotions that he didn't know, he slowly highlighted this strange but familiar name word by word.

Colin turned his head to look at the bewildered expression on Winter Soldier's face, half relieved and half ashamed in his heart, he could hear Winter Soldier's attention and longing for losing his former friends between the lines.

That is the inescapable past that the Winter Soldier has built into his current firm character, and it cannot be erased. Colin can only listen silently, regretting his absence.

"But..." The Winter Soldier's voice became deeper and deeper, "I can't feel those emotions, like through a thick layer of gauze, I can see them but can't touch them. I know that I am happy and sad in my memory. , fear, but only know.”

That's not my life, it's a video of a soldier named Barnes. The Winter Soldier fell into deep self-doubt and denial, and he was almost overwhelmed by this confusing and heavy past.

But the Winter Soldier, who is used to silence, can only bear all the pressure in silence. Until today, in this peaceful and quiet wilderness, he finally couldn't help but confide slowly.

The Winter Soldier, who was immersed in confusion, was awakened by the steady and gentle touch on his right arm. He looked at the man who moved to his side and patted his shoulder lightly to comfort him. His face was calm and showed no sympathy. , nor pitiful.

Colin stared forcefully at the slightly dazed and out-of-focus eyes of the Winter Soldier, and affirmed firmly and calmly: "The past is only a part of who you are now, whether you accept it or not, he will stay there quietly and affect you. , you just have to watch him slowly, understand and accept him."

"If..." Colin shrugged, let go of the hand holding the Winter Soldier's shoulder, lay back, and said in a slow tone, "You really can't accept it, then put him behind your back first, and slowly You will find that these are not a big deal.” Colin, who had just looked like a serious philosopher, suddenly changed his tone and became casual.

Point to your own nose, as an example, "For example, like me, let it go, and you will find that it will feel different when you pick it up."

The Winter Soldier was silent.
