How the Good and the Villain Saved Each Other

In the night, Steve Rogers rode his beloved Harley street750 back to his home.Recently, Stark and Loki went to God's Domain, and he was the only one in the Avengers Building, so he simply moved back to live for a while. After all, it is closer to the SHIELD headquarters and Peggy's hospital. It was also more convenient to visit his only old friend in this world.

Thanks to Tuo Luoji, he got a lot of money at one time by transferring the use of portrait rights, enough to buy an entire small detached villa in Brooklyn, but he still chose this old-style apartment, It's not big but it's sunny and quiet, and more importantly, it's private - he likes having neighbors, but he must never put innocent people at risk.

It was almost nine o'clock after Steve parked the motorcycle. He walked up the stairs quickly, planning to cook a simple dinner for himself, but unexpectedly ran into his new neighbor in the corridor, a woman named "Kate" She was holding a large laundry basket on the phone with a gentle voice, and she smiled friendly when she saw him.

For some reason, Kate always reminds Steve of Peggy Carter, his best girl, maybe because they both have beautiful brown eyes, maybe because they all behave in the same capable and quick manner, compared to those soft and clinging People and birds, he has always respected such women more, and this is one of the reasons why he once wanted to start a romantic relationship with Peggy-after all, respect is a prerequisite for love to last, and his presence around Bucky The position can only be "best friend".

Yes, he was already aware of his feelings for Bucky at that time, he desperately wanted to join the army, half of the reason was to protect the country and the people as he claimed, and the other half was because he wanted to be with Bucky Together, he can tolerate Bucky flirting with different girls, and those four-person dates that are out of good intentions but are actually equivalent to stabbing him in the heart, but he can't bear to be separated from him. They have been inseparable since they were teenagers, He has to be by his side and protect him well.

But it turns out that Bucky is the protector, and even when he gets stronger, Steve will always be the one who drags his feet in the fight.On that icy train, in front of Hydra's robot, he made another mistake. He was knocked to the ground, and his shield flew aside, which forced Bucky to stand in the opposite direction from him. He shot at the enemy to attract firepower, and the wall of the car that was penetrated was at his feet, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured in, it was icy cold, and below was the cliff.

The gap was so big that even if there were no enemies, the speeding train might throw people out of the car at any time. Bucky must have been busy taking care of his safety at that time, completely forgetting about himself.Every time Steve recalls that past, it hurts. Bucky is like a guardian angel given to him by God. The boy who is only 16 months older than him has always loved him and protected him, no matter how weak he is or what he is. Little Steve, who was bullied, was still the revered Captain America strengthened by the injection of serum, and since his mother died, Bucky was his everything, the one who said he would stay with him until the end of the world.

But Bucky, who never lied to himself, broke his promise this time. He fell off the train, leaving Steve alone in the ice and snow forever.

In the dream, he had returned to that snowfield and that train countless times. In the world of Sleeping God, he was able to jump and follow Bucky freely.He can hug his lover tightly, kiss his ridiculously red lips, and faithfully utter his love words, even if he is about to face death in the next second-that feeling is not so much falling as flying.

Steve Rogers can indeed follow James Barnes to anywhere without hesitation, whether it is heaven or hell, but Captain America can't. Participating in the "Rebirth Project" is not without cost, more responsibilities, more Trapping ensues, and he even has to forcibly bury a part of Steve Rogers in order for the hero's "Captain America" ​​to respawn on it.

He still remembers Bucky's outstretched hand towards him, the look he looked at him when he fell, how he hugged the cold car wall and cried, the hot tears forming ice on his face, and how he faced that cold car wall and cried. When he was a dwarf scientist, how did he desperately use four times the control power of ordinary people to control his anger and hatred, and smashed everything around him, but let the executioner and murderer hiding behind the scenes leave him alone? root cold hair.

—But who else could he blame all this on?It's all his fault, he's always not good enough, strong enough, fast enough, lucky enough to drag Bucky down and make him die for him, he's the real executioner, the murderer, the one who should be Sinners nailed to the stake.

Steve sat alone in the tavern that was blown up by the Germans, drinking non-drinking spirits, thinking about Bucky, and secretly made a plan: he would destroy all of Hydra's bases and uproot them Together, and then back to Bucky, not even death can separate them.

Fortunately, Steve was not tortured for too long. Three days later, they successfully invaded the last Hydra base, and the Red Skull was destroyed. He could also drive a plane full of nuclear weapons into the Arctic Ocean and die safely on the peaceful seabed.Of course he has the means to smash the Red Skull conspiracy and keep the world safe while getting out, just like he has done countless times before, but this time he actively chooses to embrace death, no matter what Peggy is on the other end of the call. Begging, he didn't waver.

Paige was fine, looked up to him from a tender age, unlike other girls, but she wasn't enough to support the part of him that was Steve Rogers - a world without James Barnes, Steve Rogers simply cannot survive.And Captain America has fulfilled his mission gloriously, the Hydra collapsed, the war is about to be won, and the battle hero died before dawn. Is there a more perfect ending than this?

For three days, Alexander made Hephaistion wait for three months, but he only made Bucky wait for three days.Although his best friend was not a very patient person, he was always surprisingly tolerant towards him, and he would definitely wait for him, and wait for them to meet again.But God obviously didn't like this ending. Steve was awakened from his slumber and had to face a brand new and crazier world——

"It's my aunt," Kate's voice was close at hand, bringing Steve back to reality. The girl shook the phone at him and smiled sweetly, "She's a little insomnia."

Steve nodded.

"If you don't mind, you can use my washing machine, which may be cheaper than the one downstairs." He offered the invitation abruptly, but as Peggy said, the world has changed, and no one can go back to the way it was before. What you do is start over, not hold on to the past.

Maybe he should find an anchor to firmly anchor Steve Rogers in the 21st century, after all, the changed world still needs Captain America.

"Really? How cheap?" Kate asked, rolling her honey-colored eyes deftly. She was beautiful and smart, and she seemed to have taken Steve's cue.

"How about a cup of coffee?" Steve asked, wanting to take his time even in this fast-paced world.

"Thanks, but I've taken my clothes down quite a bit," the blond replied apologetically, looking sincere rather than making excuses for her polite rejection of Steve, "and, better not to take you Washing my white coat in the washing machine, you know I just got off work and came out of the infectious disease ward.”

"Then it's better for us to keep our distance." Steve raised his hand exaggeratedly and took a step back, secretly relieved, as if he wasn't the one who just invited.

"Hopefully it's not too far away," Kate added quickly, as if afraid to miss something, but Steve really doesn't care anymore, in fact, every time girls show interest in him, he can't help thinking How would they treat him if he was still such a weak little Steve?Will it still be as enthusiastic as it is now?Even Peggy never expressed affection until he became Captain America.

Only James, only his Bucky, who is different from all of them, who loves Steve no matter what he becomes, only he can look into his soul through this skin.

Perhaps looking forward does not mean that we have to start a relationship, and making more friends is also a good choice, Steve slightly curled his mouth, happy for his own idea, so that he can continue to love Pakistan as a matter of course. It's over, and he really can't imagine himself falling in love with someone else.

"By the way, you seem to have forgotten to turn off your stereo," Kate suddenly stopped him after saying goodbye to each other. "It sang by itself for a while."

"Oh," Steve smiled at the girl. He was always a gentleman regardless of his height. "Thank you, thank you very much."

After watching Kate go down the stairs, Steve put away his smile. He can fully confirm that he didn't forget to close anything that should be closed before leaving home.He put his ear close to the door and listened, except for the music of "It's been along, longtime", there was silence, it seemed that there were no visitors with malicious intentions hidden inside, but even so, he still made up his mind to sneak into the apartment for a while. Find out.

Steve opened the window silently, flipped inside lightly, took the star shield next to the sundry shelf, and searched for possible enemies like a cheetah prowling in the dark night.He had been a skinny man, and he understood the importance of caution better than those guys with innately good physical fitness, and that was the first lesson Bucky taught him in hand-to-hand combat.

Steve quickly spotted the target, and the guy obviously didn't want to hide—in the darkness, a man was lying carelessly on the chair that the owner used to sit on. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, the guy The pure black unilateral eye mask is still very eye-catching.

It's Nick Fury.

Facing this familiar uninvited guest, Captain America relaxed his vigilance a little, letting his tense muscles relax.

"I don't remember giving you the key." He put the shield at his feet and said, with some dissatisfaction in his voice.

"And I don't remember you adapting to this world so well that you can have sex with your neighbors." Fury joked that the seat he was sitting was not far from the door, and he had obviously just overheard Steve and Kate conversation between.

"That wasn't a hookup," Steve retorted solemnly. "It was just a friendly invitation, not about sex."

"Okay, old-school guy," Fury seemed to sigh in the darkness, "I'm sorry for the intrusion, but my wife kicked me out and I really have nowhere to go."

"I didn't even know you were married." Steve let his guard down completely. Fury sounded normal, so he stepped forward and pressed the light switch, intending to end the conversation in the dark, but in an instant Suddenly, a director of S.H.I.E.L.D. with blood on his face suddenly appeared in sight. The latter shook his head at him, calmly reached out to turn off the desk lamp, and typed a line of words on his mobile phone - "ears everywhere (walls have ears)".

Steve knew that now was not the time to get angry, but this was his home, and it belonged to him completely, and no one had the right to install some goddamn bugging device to pry into his privacy.He looked around, and his relaxed muscles tensed again.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I really can't find another place to spend the night." The black director continued to speak in a casual tone with an old friend, and at the same time sent Steve an even more shocking news on his mobile phone - "shield compromised (S.H.I.E.L.D. board betrayal)".

"Who knew you had a wife?" Steve asked gravely, trusting Fury to understand his pun.

"Only my friends." Fury said, stood up, staggered towards Steve, and stretched out his hand as if to give him something, but at this moment, the gun rang out, and the bullet pierced through without warning. Shocking blood burst out from the body of the one-eyed chief, and the poor prey screamed. Before the tall body fell down, it was hit by two other bullets, and finally fell to the ground under this fatal attack. fall.

Steve quickly dragged the badly injured Fury to safety, and at the same time caught a glimpse of the faint blue reflection of the night vision scope on the roof of the office building opposite the window.Fury is very cautious, and has been cleverly using walls to hide his figure, and as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., being able to survive until now is enough to prove this, but he is facing an experienced sniper, and the opponent only needs one shot. The small air window accurately judged the location of the target, and decisively pulled the trigger, allowing the bullet to directly penetrate the wall and hit Fury.

This is a tricky guy, Steve thought, but I'll catch him.And now the only person stopping him from doing that is Nick Fury, who has to stay and protect the seriously incapacitated man, stop the bleeding and make sure he survives.But just when he was about to turn around to get the first-aid kit, he was grabbed by the other party tightly, and at the same time he felt something warm was stuffed into his hand—it was a flash drive with Fury's body temperature and blood stains on it. .

"Don't—trust—anyone—" The black chief stared at him with his one eye, and coughed violently over and over again intermittently. In the darkness, the blood on his body blended with the black windbreaker was almost invisible, but The pungent smell of blood clearly indicated that death was approaching.

Steve was outraged, and he was outraged whenever he was confronted with the taking of his life, and Fury, while not entirely a good guy, should never have been treated that way.

"Bang—bang——" the door was slammed twice, and then it opened. This is not SHIELD, let alone the Avengers Building. There are no advanced security measures, and even the door lock is just a lock on the street. The kind you can buy anywhere, after all, this is just an ordinary small apartment in an ordinary neighborhood in Brooklyn, and Steve never expected his home to be broken into.

"Captain Rogers——" Just as Steve was about to strike the intruder, a familiar female voice sounded. Steve cautiously turned sideways and used the wall as a cover, poked his head out to check, but saw his beautiful face at a glance. My blond neighbor, who was still wearing the white T-shirt they had just met, had a gun instead of a laundry basket in her hand, and her expression became murderous.

"Captain, I am Agent 13 of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I am ordered to protect your safety." The female agent seemed relieved when she saw that Steve was safe and sound. It seems that similar tasks have been performed many times.

"Whose order?" Steve frowned, eavesdropping, monitoring, and casually breaking into other people's homes. Doesn't anyone know what manners are in this era?

"Furry Bureau——" Kate's voice suddenly dropped, because she had already found Nick Fury, who was lying on the ground and his life and death were unknown.She quickly squatted down to check the other person's pulse, and took out the walkie-talkie: "Foxtrot is injured and unconscious, first aid is needed here."

"Are you sure about the shooter's location?" A male voice came from it, and the female agent paused for a moment, then looked at Captain America.

"Tell him I'm chasing." Steve said, picked up the star shield, took a few steps back, accelerated towards the window, volleyed across the entire street with unimaginable explosive power and posture, smashed through the glass, and landed precisely on the He got into the office building opposite, rolled on the spot, got up quickly, looked up, and saw the cold-blooded killer passing by the roof and disappearing behind a wall through the glass window, and then chased after him without hesitation. go up.

It is not easy to pursue the target without seeing the target. Fortunately, Steve is very familiar with the terrain and the structure of the houses in this area. As he rushed to the corridor, he speculated in his mind which route he would choose if he were the killer. After smashing through countless doors and walls, and smashing through a window again, he finally caught up with the killer on the rooftop of the opposite building. Star Shield came out of his hand, humming and thundering towards the killer.

The killer who was galloping on the rooftop stopped and turned his head when he heard the sound, his long brown hair deftly drew an arc in the night with this movement, he stretched out his arm, and then——

"Dang!" It was a dull impact of metal, and the star shield was firmly received by the man in his hand, as tame as if it belonged to his weapon.Steve looked at his enemy and that arm in disbelief, it was not so much an arm as a weapon, made of all metal, with a cold silver light under the cold light, near the position of the upper arm It is painted with a red star, which is very eye-catching.Except for that arm, the killer's entire body was wrapped in a black combat uniform, and even his face was wearing a mask, with only a pair of eyes showing a murderous look at Steve, like a bird ready to pounce on its prey at any time. Tiger.

But when Steve was fully alert and ready for a fierce battle (he had no doubt that the opponent would be more difficult than the pirate leader in the last Lemuria Star hijacking incident), the killer's eyes flashed With a strange cunning, the metal arm swung forward, and Star Shield pierced through the air to attack his real master with a murderous aura, even more deadly than Captain America's blow just now.

Although the throw was powerful, the angle was not tricky. Steve caught it straight, but even though Captain America had four times the strength of ordinary people, he slid two steps backwards before he could barely stop. Looking up, there is only the vast night and sporadic lights ahead, but the terrible mysterious killer is nowhere to be found.
