How the Good and the Villain Saved Each Other

"Mothership No. 2 is locked." Sam's voice came from the communicator, and Steve breathed a sigh of relief - so far, they have successfully controlled two Hydra skycarriers by exchanging positioning chips, the whole process It was surprisingly smooth, and this also meant that he would definitely meet Bucky on the No. 3 mothership.

The Winter Soldier, a cold-blooded killer, a legendary ghost, the culprit of dozens of assassination mysteries, in terms of temperament, he has nothing in common with the Bucky who always smiled playfully at the corner of his mouth, if not Seeing the extremely familiar face under the mask, Steve would never believe that that powerful killing machine was his best friend.

But Bucky doesn't know him anymore, and what's worse, he can't even figure out who he is, which makes Steve feel deeply angry beside his heartbreak.He hates Hydra, Bucky's current appearance is undoubtedly their masterpiece, he hates S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury's damn "segmentation management" has become the best breeding ground for cancer growth, and what he hates most is himself .When Colonel Phillips said that Bucky's bones did not survive, he believed it. When the Red Skull died unexpectedly, he believed that Hydra would collapse. When he became Captain America, he thought he had enough to protect Bucky. He should have gone to the cliff to find him himself, he should have killed all the hydra, he should have protected him, but he did nothing.

But now, their purpose of taking over control of the mothership by replacing the positioning chip has been exposed. As Hydra's strongest combat power and last line of defense, the Winter Soldier will definitely stick to the chip integration area of ​​No. 3 mothership. Before long, he He had to go head-to-head with his lost and found friend, because even if just one Helicarrier was controlled by Hydra, hundreds of thousands of innocent people would die, and he had to stop that from happening.

Even at the cost of hurting Bucky.

Steve gritted his teeth and turned back into the unhesitating Captain America again.He flexibly dodged the rockets fired at him from behind, and quickly ran to the edge of the mothership, letting his fighting spirit and desire burn his blood to the boil.

=====================

The Winter Soldier stood on the trestle bridge in the chip integration area, staring at Captain America on the opposite side warily, without saying a word, letting the other party babble endlessly on their own.

Who the fuck is Bucky?He thought angrily, his head was swollen and aching, as if something was desperately trying to rush out, wishing to smash everything around him to vent his anger, but he still controlled himself to stand motionless on the spot, just the whole body Every muscle in the top and bottom is ready to go - the first task he is given is to protect the chips in the integration area from being moved and replaced, and the second is to clear the target. As long as the opponent does not pounce, he does not need to fight him. .

But that person still rushed forward.

The Winter Soldier raised his metal arm to block the flying star shield, and fired three times at the target with unspeakable anger.Why did he force him to do it?They could have lived in peace, but now he had to take his life.

The fourth shot was blocked by the shield again, but it was just a decoy, to ensure that the fifth shot could hit, but the bullet only passed through the target's flank, which was not an important position, and it was neither fatal nor harmful to the action. The hindrance is not too big.But just when the Winter Soldier was about to rush up to make another cut, his brain felt a sharp pain, as if a red-hot iron rod was mercilessly piercing through it. He tried hard to ignore the sudden pain, But the movement of drawing the knife slowed down involuntarily, and the opponent seized the opportunity to knock him down hard, and almost rolled off the trestle. When he stood up again, the man had already stood in front of the control panel and lowered the chip integrator.

He must be stopped, this is your task.The Winter Soldier pursed his lips tightly, pulled out Gobo from his waist neatly, and pierced the opponent's vest, but the strange thing was that he knew that his attack would be dodged before he made the move. That person was very strong and agile, But that's beside the point. The point is that he's familiar with the Winter Soldier's offensive routines, and can sometimes even predict his next move with uncanny accuracy, just as he can predict him.

Sure enough, the target turned around to avoid the knife, and at the same time swung his shield and threw it at him, but the Winter Soldier raised his metal arm to block it, and had a strange thought in his heart—they were not fighting for life and death , but a pair of tacit understanding dancers are dancing together, the two sides know each other's every move like the back of their hands, as if they have practiced together many times.

You can't go on like this, you can't stop him at all, the Winter Soldier thought, roared fiercely, rushed up and hugged the target's waist, the huge inertia made neither of them stand still, and both fell down The trestle, fell on the lower deck.

The Winter Soldier quickly stood up, this level of collision was nothing to him, obviously it was the same to the target, the man had already got up neatly and ran forward, and the whole body was thrown away because he was eager to pick up the chip that had just dropped. The back is exposed to dangerous hunters.

Stubborn guy, the Winter Soldier picked up the star shield under his feet and threw it at the opponent's back. At the same time, he quickly picked up the pistol and shot continuously as he approached the target.He casually threw the empty gun aside, dodged to avoid the flying shield, and pulled out the second gobo to fight with the opponent again. This time, he used the electric shock function on the mechanical arm.

Captain America's body stiffened instantly after being hit by a powerful electric current that could stun a full-grown tiger. It was in his hand, but just when he wanted to crush it with all his strength, he was caught by the throat and lifted into the air by the target.

"Let go!" Captain America yelled, the Winter Soldier was struggling desperately in his hands, his mind whimpered continuously, the pain of suffocation made his legs kick instinctively, his green eyes stared directly at the culprit, and his eyes gradually changed from resentment Unyielding turned into a void, but still clinging to the chip.

Just when he almost thought that he would suffocate to death, he suddenly felt his throat loosen, and he was thrown down on the deck, his right arm was cut behind him tightly.

"Let go!" the voice commanded, firm and unquestionable. The Winter Soldier took a deep breath while desperately resisting to break free from the restraint, but the metal arm was pressed underneath, unable to use any strength at all, so he had to clenched his teeth and clenched stubbornly. Hold that little electronic board.

And the next second, Captain America removed his shoulders.

"Ah—" The pain of the dislocation made the Winter Soldier hiss loudly, his eye sockets were red from the struggle and pain, but his right hand still refused to let go. This level of pain was nothing to him. He was once shot by a bullet. Hit in the belly, smashed to the bone with iron bars, and...

Some shattered scenes flashed quickly before his eyes, accompanied by blood and screams, as well as a kind of deep-seated sadness, he seemed to see the silvery white snow field again, and heard the rumble of the train roaring past.

Just when he was in a trance, his throat was caught again, and the suffocation made him dizzy again, but it didn't matter, he was the Winter Soldier, he was strong, he could endure this, for truth and justice, for protection... protection ...What are you protecting?

The coma was short, and the Winter Soldier's brain was still searching for the answer to the question just now, as if it hadn't stopped working just now, but the empty right hand showed his failure.He shook his head slightly, letting his mind focus on the present moment. He knew that his mind was not working very well sometimes, but he didn't need to care about it, because there would always be someone who would lead him, give him tasks and give him directions, as long as he followed suit He will be able to protect what he has always wanted to protect.

So he raised his gun again.

The first shot hit the target's thigh, and the bright red blood hole was shocking on the blue uniform pants, but the guy was still stubbornly climbing towards the chip integration area.

The second shot hit the metal plate next to the target, which was a warning that if he didn't stop, the bullet would go through the back of his head or his heart, but the winter soldier knew he was wasting ammo because the guy had the world The most obstinate head in the world - as long as a belief arises in his mind, nothing or anyone can shake him, not even death.

So, the Winter Soldier pulled the trigger—a third shot landed in the target's lower abdomen, causing the man's knees to go limp and eventually to his knees.

With one last bullet, the Winter Soldier thought, keeping his gun raised, that if he dared to stand up again, he'd kill him.

But then, he watched his target struggling to stand up, and tremblingly inserted the chip in his hand into the card slot, but he still couldn't convince himself to pull the trigger.

When it was over, he lowered the arm holding the gun as if exhausted, feeling an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.He shouldn't be shaken, it's too shameful, the Winter Soldier didn't complete his mission, he failed; but on the trestle in the assembly area, just as they stood opposite each other, the ending was already doomed-he couldn't really Kill that guy, and the Winter Soldier will lose.

"Boom—" The huge hull of the Sky Carrier shook violently. The Winter Soldier staggered and looked around vigilantly, but fell to the ground due to the ensuing violent shock.The original hunter has become the prey of today, and the muzzle of the Hydra mothership is precisely aimed at its accomplice, becoming the last victim of the "Insight Project".

Broken light cannons, broken engine blades, tempered glass panels of the bridge, all kinds of wreckage fell together with the powerless aircraft carrier. When the heavy metal frame hit the Winter Soldier, he felt a sense of relief. relief.

At this time, something heavy hit him again, shaking the entire deck.Reflexively, the Winter Soldier turned his head to look, only to find his target stumbling toward him.He stared at the other party guardedly and thought like this, tried his best to move his body, but found in despair that the metal frame had stuck his whole body exactly, as if he was wrapped in a restraint suit, and he couldn't even extend his arms straight.It seemed that this time he was really doomed, lost the ability to resist, and his target would easily kill him.

But another voice sounded in his mind: No, he is the one who is least likely to hurt you among all people, and your life is safe in his hands, absolutely safe.

Sure enough, not only did his target not cut off his head with the edge of the star shield, but he knelt down and gritted his teeth to force the metal frame out of a gap.

The Winter Soldier took the opportunity to struggle to get out. He looked blankly at the smudged blood on the opponent's abdomen and his face that was flushed from too much force. He couldn't figure out why this person wanted to save him. They clearly It's the enemy.

"You know me, Bucky." Captain America called that name again, "You've always known me."

"No, I don't know!" The Winter Soldier yelled frantically, and irritatedly punched the star shield hard in the very center, causing him to stumble back.

"No!" gasped the man, refusing to give up. "Your name is James Buchanan Barnes—"

"Shut up!" the Winter Soldier yelled, his mind in a tangle, and he heard a woman calling him "James," in a nice, warm voice, and others calling him "Sergeant Barnes," Lots of people, and they sound miraculously familiar too.There was another man, who looked small and frail, also had blond hair, looked up at him with bright blue eyes, and called him "Bucky" with a smile.

At the same time, his target took off his helmet, and the blond hair, blue eyes, and cute face suddenly overlapped with the Winter Soldier's memory.

"I won't fight you again," he said, letting go of his hand, letting the star shield slide straight through the cracks in the wreckage. "You are my friend."

The Winter Soldier stared at the man in front of him, feeling the urge to hug him hard, strangle him into himself so that their flesh and blood would fuse together, but in the end he rushed forward and knocked him to the ground.

"You are my task." As he said, he punched the man's beautiful cheekbones. He was really irritable and angry: Why did this guy suddenly appear and disturb his mind?Everything was fine at first, he chose to believe what he believed to be the truth, and faithfully obeyed one person's orders, but when Captain America came, he was completely messed up.There are more and more noises in his mind, all kinds of memory fragments are everywhere like a blowout, but they can't be picked up, he is like a balloon that has been injected with too much gas, and it is about to explode.

"Then finish it," the other party lay quietly under him, his eye sockets, cheekbones, and corners of his mouth were covered with coagulated blood stains and bruises, but his blue sky-like eyes revealed strange peace and satisfaction, " Because I will be with you until the end of the world."

The Winter Soldier's lips were trembling slightly, his clenched fist was shaking in the air, but he couldn't let it fall.It's like this again, he doesn't know what to do with this person at all, he can't kill him to complete the task, but he can't and doesn't want to just let him go.

The huge gun barrel that fell from the sky made the decision for him, the deck was completely smashed, the Winter Soldier only had time to grab the steel frame above his head, and his target fell into the sea with the broken wreckage, arms at his side Slightly opened, it doesn't look like it's falling, but more like flying.

This scene was so familiar, the person was getting farther and farther away from him, until it disappeared into a small black spot, and he was heartbroken, unable to bear the sudden separation at all.

So he let go and fell into the water too.That clump of blond hair was as dazzling as the sun in the water. He followed the beam of light and swam to the man's side, tightly grasping the man's hand and wrapping his arms around his waist, and quickly swam towards the shore. Drag the person to the shore, hold your breath and wait until the other person starts to breathe again, then breathe a sigh of relief, and start to move the robotic arm, testing its flexibility. The precise design and proper maintenance make it still work as usual after being flooded.

"Call the Winter Soldier, call the Winter Soldier—" Well, good quality except for his mechanical arm, and the headset.

"The insight plan failed, the mission was cancelled, return to base 6 immediately, and cover the evacuation of the scientific research personnel; repeat, the insight plan failed, the mission was cancelled, return to base 6 immediately, and cover the evacuation of the scientific research personnel."

"Call the Winter Soldier, call the Winter Soldier—report your location, report your location immediately—"

This sentence reminded the Winter Soldier. He pulled out the earphones and threw them into the water far away, then took out a saber from the wet combat uniform, and cut his right arm and left arm without hesitation. legs, dig out two bloody locators and throw them into the lake.

He will no longer follow anyone's orders, he will rely on himself to find the truth.

=====================

Steve stood quietly in front of Fury's tombstone, the gunshot wound on his lower abdomen was painful, and the wounds Bucky left on him were serious but not fatal. Back to normal, but he didn't have a week to waste, he had to find Bucky immediately.

If the people from the government find him first, they will probably execute him in the name of executing a criminal and a murderer; if Hydra finds him first, then he will be brainwashed, frozen, and regarded as Weapons, forget about Steve again, forget about himself; even if he avoids both sides, it's no luck, how is he going to live alone in this world?He hides and hides all day long, worried, once he gradually remembers the past and who he really is, how will he face the mistakes he made?

Steve closes his eyes slightly, he can't tell which situation is worse, and he absolutely can't allow anything worse to happen to Bucky.

Therefore, he didn't care about his own injuries, the wreckage floating in the Potomac River, the various reports of Captain America's destruction of government intelligence agencies by public opinion, and the huge pile of things that needed to be dealt with after the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D. The bullshit, Buckyfirst, everything else has to be put on the back burner - he made him wait 70 years, he can't make him wait any longer.

"The environment here is good, quiet and there are few people," the red-haired female agent walked towards Steve, still wearing a sexy leather jacket, "wouldn't you consider inviting your neighbors to have a picnic?"

"I've already dated you, how can I date another girl?" Steve replied, with a gentle look on his face, looking at Natasha like a good brother looking at his youngest sister.

The female agent smiled and handed over a thin file: "This is what you want. I asked a friend in Kiev to get it."

"Thank you." Steve thanked solemnly. Of course, he didn't come to pay homage to the living who faked his own death, but was waiting for Natasha. She promised to help him collect secret files about the Winter Soldier—he must first understand him What exactly did her best friend go through to find him faster.

"Actually, it's not just for you," the female agent sighed. "There were too many and too many messy things before, and I didn't tell you. In fact, I also knew the Winter Soldier. The moment you knocked off his mask, I I recognized him. In the red house of the KGB, he used to be my combat instructor, and there was an affair between us at that time."

"What?!" Steve raised his voice suddenly, and it sounded like a cat whose tail was stepped on by someone. He immediately realized that he was too excited, and quickly lowered his head in a disguise, not daring to talk to Nata. Sarah looked at each other.

The red-haired female agent was startled at first, then quickly narrowed her eyes.

"You like me?" she asked half-truthfully, and then saw Captain America's **** expression rather hurt her self-esteem.

"Okay, so, it's not me—" Natasha folded her arms and said with absolute certainty, "It's the Winter Soldier, your childhood sweetheart, and he's the one you like."

She stares at Steve, who blushes and nods primly.

"My God, my God, my God," the female agent closed her eyes in despair, "I never realized that I was such a fool, thinking about introducing you to your girlfriend all the time, no wonder the way Loki looked at me As a lowly creature like me, I thought that was what the god saw in everyone but Tony—he already knew that, didn't he?"

"I think so." Steve replied honestly, and hastily added to show that he treated his friends equally: "He guessed it himself."

"Nothelp, Cap," Natasha leaned back against the tree trunk, as if she had been impaled on it by a thousand arrows, "They say that the age of 30 to 50 is the golden age for agents, but I think I have such an IQ that I should retire early."

"I don't know if you should retire or not," Steve smiled, "but you should find someone to fall in love with - some thoughts can only be understood by people in love, and advanced training courses are useless."

"I'd rather not suffer that kind of crime for the rest of my life," the female agent shrugged. "I'm not that cunning bastard Loki. Once I fall in love with a guy like Stark, I will definitely be tortured to death."

"Their union has really helped others a lot." There was a smile on Steve's lips, but it quickly disappeared. "Aren't you going to stay? We might be able to find him faster together."

"Love has always been a child's play. The good times are gone. Even if he is still as tall and handsome as before, dangerous and charming, I am no longer the little girl in Huaichun. And the guy is obviously no longer Remember me, otherwise he wouldn't have made two holes in my body cruelly, you must know that he has always been gentle." Natasha said with a smile, she still smiled beautifully, but with a rare poignant beauty, " But he remembers you, so don't give up—"

She leaned forward and planted a kiss on Steve's cheek: "Good luck, and hopefully next time I come back, you two can pick you up at the airport together in a couple shirt."

Steve smiled and watched his friend leave. He is not greedy at all. As long as Bucky can return to him, he is willing to watch him silently, love him, and protect him as before, but only if he can find him. ——

"Captain, I found Sergeant Barnes." Jarvis's voice came from the communicator without warning, "He is watching Captain America's traveling exhibition in the Smithsonian Museum."

Never before had Steve thanked Tony from the bottom of his heart for creating the all-purpose electronic butler and for having a genius brain.

"Natasha!" He shouted joyfully at his friend who hadn't gone far away, completely forgetting that he was in the middle of the cemetery, and was glared at by a woman in black who was crying silently at the stone tablet in the distance glance.He smiled apologetically, and ran towards the red-haired female agent who turned around and looked at him curiously.

"Come with me, Sam's car is outside," he said, his blue eyes gleaming, his whole body bathed in sunlight and exuberant. "He's at the Smithsonian, let's go pick him up!"
