[Zhongyingmei] At the end of time

Luna lay down for a while, and felt that it was almost the usual time to get up, so she got up slowly, washed and went downstairs to prepare for dinner.

After going downstairs, Luna looked at Bucky's mother playfully and with a hint of pity. She stood on the steps for two seconds, and her face turned red.She pretended to be calm and pulled out the chair and sat down, avoiding Bucky's mother's eyes.

Bucky puts the breakfast on the table and sits down beside Luna.Bucky's mother said with a smile in her voice, "Why don't you take a day off today, don't go to work, take a rest, and buy another bed in the afternoon."

Luna lowered her head and smiled helplessly. Bucky reached out and took Luna into his arms. While stroking her hair, he said helplessly to his mother, "Okay, I'll go shopping after get off work today."

Even though recovering her memory made Luna somewhat changed, she had already made up her mind, and instead let go to enjoy the last time in 1943.

One day, Luna saw Bucky waiting for her at the door after work as usual, reading a newspaper in his hand.Luna leaned over: "Is there anything new?"

Bucky handed her the newspaper: "Tomorrow night is the Future World Exhibition, let's go together, and then call Steve."

Luna vaguely felt that the name was a little familiar, and asked, "What future world exhibition?"

Bucky pointed to the name on the newspaper: "The one hosted by Stark, I heard there will be a lot of new things."

Luna slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said to Bucky with her normal expression, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."

On the way back, Bucky excitedly told Luna an anecdote about his participation in the previous Future World Exhibition. Luna responded, feeling as if he had fallen into the deep sea. There was no one around, it was dark, and it was hard to breathe. , even thinking slowed down by half.

After returning, Luna went back to her room to put the bag, and Bucky followed closely behind.He leaned against the door, looked at the busy Luna, and asked worriedly, "What happened?"

Luna sat on the bed, obviously looking at Bucky, but her voice seemed to be talking to herself: "I'm sorry, I should be more mature."

Bucky sat next to him and wanted to kiss her, but Luna avoided him subconsciously. Luna circled his palm with her finger: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Bucky grabbed Luna's hand with his backhand, and he didn't want to ask her how she knew that she was going to join the army, and said in a straightforward manner: "I received the assignment order, the 107th Corps, and I will go by boat early in the morning the day after tomorrow. London."

Luna was not surprised, some things happened to her to empathize with her.She used to think that those young couples in long-distance relationships would cry every time they separated, but it was only when it happened to her that she realized that if you love someone, you don’t even want to be separated from him for a day , let alone a few months or a year.

What's more, after the two parted, it was a watery time that was hard to overcome in 70 years.

Luna's fingers are running across his left arm, which will be replaced with a mechanical arm, he will be constantly brainwashed, he will be forced to kill many people who shouldn't be dead, and he will become Winter warrior.The warm-smiling James Barnes was left forever in Brooklyn in 1943 by an impermanent fate.

For Bucky, these 70 years will be his eternal nightmare, but Luna passed through Bucky's most painful time in the blink of an eye, leaving him alone in the endless darkness.

Thinking of this, Luna almost shed tears, her brother Bucky is about to disappear.

Bucky felt her loss, and he said helplessly around her: "I'm sorry, I should have told you after I made the decision, but I saw that you seemed to dislike young people joining the army, and of course I shouldn't just because you don't like it." I won't tell you, I just haven't figured out how to tell you."

"I heard that this war will not last long, and I will be back soon."

How am I going to tell him, Luna thought, that it's true that the war is over soon, but it's false that you're coming back soon.

She whispered: "I happen to be getting ready to go home recently, so I'll set off the day after tomorrow."

Bucky responded seriously: "We will meet again, won't we?"

Luna tilted her head and rubbed Bucky's hand with her face: "Of course, I'm afraid you won't recognize me then."

Bucky smiled and said, "How come, I can recognize what you have become."

After he finished speaking, he realized that his palms were slowly getting wet.He quickly held Luna's face, lowered his head and kissed away her tears: "I'm sorry, I will come back, no matter what you become, I will recognize you and take you home."

Luna closed her eyes and said vaguely: "I know, you will recognize me in the end. I will wait for you to take me home."

But that is too long for you, I am not even afraid that you will forget me during this painful journey, I just wish I could walk through those dark days with you.Knowing that you are walking towards the abyss, but I can only watch you, step by step, towards the predetermined ending of fate.

The next day, Luna didn't go to see the future world exhibition with Bucky. She stayed at home and cooked a big meal, and then chatted with Bucky's mother all night.

Bucky's departure was a 70-year barrier to her, but to Bucky's parents, they were separated forever, and it was hard to see each other until death.Both of them are kind people, and it can be said that Luna was saved by them. They deserved to have a descendant around their knees and enjoy the end of life, but unfortunately, they can only be sent by a white-haired person to a black-haired person.

Luna and Bucky's mother said that they were going back to the university to teach. Luna's mother accepted Luna's amnesia nonsense without hindrance, and the two chatted all night.Luna felt that she might be the source of discovering Bucky's thoughts beyond the times.

Bucky's mother just smiled and said: "I used to work in a newspaper, and I met his father in an interview. Later, I moved with him a few times and gave birth to a child, so I stopped doing it. Bucky's young At that time, I didn’t know how to take him, so I read to him the books I usually read, some of which he listened to with great interest, and when he encountered boring ones, he would pretend to be asleep and urge me to leave.”

The two laughed together, and Luna said, "It turns out that Bucky was nurtured by you."

Bucky's mother shook her head: "He's still too young, and he hasn't even finished reading the preface to the book Society. Serving in the army is a good way to exercise. The army is a place where people can be reborn."

Luna's smile froze on her face, and she continued for a while, "That's right, he and Steve are the kind of characters who can't stand alone when the country is in trouble, and it is expected to be a soldier."

Speaking of Steve, Bucky's mother said with emotion: "Steve is a character who can accomplish great things."

Luna joked: "If you say that Steve is known by Bucky, he should complain about your partiality again."

Bucky's mother shook her head and said: "Bucky is still a little tactful, although there is nothing wrong with being a little tactful in society, but often those who can be called great have a soul like Steve—never Give in, go forward, even a little paranoid, and will stick to your beliefs at all costs."

Before going upstairs to sleep, Luna kissed Bucky's mother on the cheek: "Thank you very much for your care during this time."

She smiled and said, "I'm still waiting to attend the wedding of the two of you, don't make me wait too long."

Luna squeezed out a smile: "Of course."

The morning when Bucky left was a cloudless and sunny day. After breakfast, Bucky kissed his parents on the cheeks one by one. He carried his luggage and walked to the gate of the courtyard. Luna leaned against the door and showed a sad smile. Shang carefully kissed her, just like he kissed her forehead for the first time, solemn and shy.

Luna looked at his sharp side face, and blurted out: "Can you stop joining the army?"

I can stay here and never go back, and you won't become the Winter Soldier. We will live a mediocre and happy life, just like every ordinary family.

When we are old, we can walk on the streets of New York with our grandchildren, watch Iron Man roaring in the sky, brag with the juniors that we used to be friends with Captain America, and then go home hand in hand.No superheroes, no mutants, just an ordinary life.

Bucky kissed her hair: "I'm sorry, you know I can't do it. I have the ability to join them, but I watched my compatriots fight to the death on the front line."

Luna forced a smile, looked at Bucky and said, "Of course I'm joking, my family and friends are still waiting for me, and I also have my career to complete."

Bucky felt that he might never forget this look in his whole life, desperate and forced to smile, he clearly had desires, but also seemed to have seen the result.

Bucky asked in a low voice: "At the exhibition yesterday, Mr. Stark said that in the future military radios will be popularized for civilian use. He called the portable wireless communication equipment for civilian use a mobile phone—you asked us to borrow it when we first met. It’s the same thing, and your expression at that time was as if it’s normal for everyone to have a mobile phone.”

"You've seen the future, haven't you?"

Luna didn't panic, and even silently sighed about the genius blood of the Stark family: "Yes, I'm from the future."

Bucky's eyes showed excitement: "That means we will meet again in the future, right?"

Luna evaded the important point and said lightly: "Of course, you will become more cool in the future, and Steve will become a muscular man."

"As I said before, my first love who was abandoned by me was also you."

Bucky didn't understand this complicated timeline for a while, and joked: "Then I left first this time, and we are even."

Luna forced a smile, and Bucky took her into his arms: "You don't want me to join the army because something bad will happen?"

Luna whispered: "If I say yes, will you stay?"

Bucky stroked her hair: "If I stay, will I not be able to meet you in the future?"

Luna thought to herself, this is what she has been struggling with, if he persuades Bucky to stay, then he will not become the Winter Soldier, so the eight-year-old Luna will not be able to escape from the Hydra, and stay It is impossible for Luna in Hydra to see Carter's death, so she will not travel to 1943 because of this stimulation, but Bucky without Luna will definitely join the army.

This is an endless loop.

In the past, the fates she faced were all so-called original plots, and she was not afraid to break them, but this time she faced the unchangeable fate that really happened in this universe.

Luna said to Bucky word by word: "No matter what happens in the future, remember that I will wait for you in the future."

Please persevere until the day we meet again. I am afraid that you are the only one who has gone through all the ups and downs.

I'm sorry to leave you behind again, I have crossed these 70 years first.

See you in 70 years.
