Vodka helped Ashe's sleep a lot. Of course, Bucky's appearance reminded Ashe that she was not alone now, and she had a very reliable friend in the next room.

The effect of deep sleep is extremely high. Although Ashe woke up early the next morning, she was still in good spirits.Remembering that the refrigerator was empty, she put on her clothes and prepared to go out.

Bucky stood at the door silently saying goodbye to Ashe as usual.Ashe often wondered if Bucky would stand at the door like a pet waiting for her owner, waiting for her to come back, but every time this thought popped up, she would feel that she was a little too out of her mind.

It was an April morning that was no different from usual, and there was still a bit of chill in the spring air, and the moment Ashe opened the door, the scent of damp flowers rushed over her face.

However, when she was about to turn around and close the door, what she saw was not a beautiful spring scene, but a black muzzle and a man's face wearing sunglasses.

Ai Xi raised her hands, not daring to move easily, she was afraid of angering the man with the gun of unknown origin, and prompting him to pull the trigger.

But Ashe wasn't too scared.After all, she was now the Winter Soldier's roommate, and he was standing a few steps away from her.Wanting to kidnap herself in front of him, she had to say they were very challenging.

And it may not be necessary for him to take action, maybe she can win the opportunity to "talk friendly" with him, and by the way, accumulate a wave of power for her unique mental attack.But Ashe couldn't speak her request.

Bucky seemed to realize what happened more quickly than Ashe, and he only took two or three steps to reach the gate.After hearing the voice from behind, Ashe quickly took a step back into the door, and leaned sideways against the wall.

The Winter Soldier has transformed into a fighting state. He rushed to the man who was trying to attack Ashe, blocking his view of Ashe, and raised his mechanical arm to block the bullets fired by the opponent.And the man obviously came prepared, the gun was loaded with a gunpowder, and there was no loud gunpowder explosion when the bullet was fired. Ashe only heard the crisp metallic sound when the bullet collided with the Winter Soldier's mechanical arm.

Ashe quickly hid in the house, she knew that she would only cause trouble for Bucky if she got too close.She squatted behind the sofa, put her head in her hands and tried to concentrate, but Bucky was inextricably fighting with the man with the gun. She was worried but also a little scared, and couldn't help but want to see it.

The Winter Soldier was once able to draw with Captain America, such an ordinary killer is naturally not his opponent.Before Ashe could make a move, the man had already collapsed on the ground, blood was gushing out of his abdomen, and it was the wound caused by the gun he brought.

But that person obviously didn't come alone. There was a black car parked by the side of the road. When Bucky just repelled the man at the door, the accomplices lowered the window and stretched out several guns to aim at him.Although Bucky squatted down in time to avoid it, he was still shot in the right shoulder.

Fortunately, the opponent was not fond of fighting, and only gave the accomplice a chance to run into the car, then stopped shooting, started the car and drove away.

Seeing that the fighting had stopped and the opponent had already retreated, Ashe hurried to Bucky's side.She was very guilty of causing Bucky to suffer this kind of thing because of herself. He was in the recovery period and shouldn't go through such a situation that might destabilize his state.

"Bucky are you okay? Are you hurt?"

The Winter Soldier hadn't come out of the fighting state yet, he squatted on the ground with his mechanical arms supported on the ground, his head was slightly lowered, and the indifferent expression on his face made Ashe a little nervous.She crouched beside him and called him cautiously.

"Bucky?"

Bucky finally responded to Ashe, he turned his head to look at her, and said calmly, "I'm fine."

Seeing that he had turned into the usual quiet but not cold Bucky again, Ashe breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your shoulder is bleeding," Ashe saw that the blood gushing from his shoulder had already stained a large area of ​​his clothes, and frowned anxiously, "Come in with me, I have to help you treat the wound quickly."

Bucky refuses to sit on the couch for fear of soiling the couch and the rug.Ashe had no choice but to let him sit on the toilet in the bathroom, and then panickedly found the medical kit from behind the mirror in the bathroom.

"Thanks to Uncle Hank for packing me a whole lot of mess, otherwise I wouldn't have this in the house."

With a sullen face, Ashe took out gauze, tweezers, disinfectant, and medical needles and threads one by one from the medical bag, while talking to Bucky, trying to make him feel better, and relieve her tension along the way.You know, she hasn't done this kind of work for many years, and her hands are so rusty that they are shaking.

"Thanks for having you here today, otherwise I would be unlucky. I don't know that I have provoked such a dangerous person."

Bucky had already taken off his blood-stained white shirt, and he said to Ashe, "You shouldn't live here alone. They are fully trained and their goal is to kidnap you. You are dangerous."

While wiping Bucky's wound with gauze and disinfectant, Ashe said indifferently, "You're still here. And I've always kept a low profile, and I've never encountered such a thing before."

For a moment, Ashe didn't bother to think about why these people wanted to kidnap her. The Winter Soldier's gunshot wound obviously needed to be resolved more urgently.

Bucky seemed used to the pain, and there was no pain on his face.Instead of looking at the wound on his right shoulder, he looked at Ashe's serious face and said, "You're very good at dealing with gunshot wounds."

Ashe kept staring at the wound that had stopped bleeding as she tried to remove the bullet that had lodged in the Winter Soldier's shoulder.She was relieved when the bullet was thrown into the sink together with the tweezers with a "ding bell".

Ashe breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Bucky: "When I was in college, I first studied clinical medicine. Then I found that the hospital was too scary a place for me. There were too many unpleasant things there. At that time, I was still young and energetic, and the constant fluctuations in the external environment would make it difficult for me to maintain my calm. Doctors who treat physical diseases and doctors who treat psychological diseases can help patients in need. I turned to study psychology. I am not the Virgin Mary or the savior or something. There is no need to sacrifice myself too much for this world. And psychological counseling can make my abilities more useful. I can’t live up to the gift of God, you Right?"

Ashe babbled, while earnestly stitching up Bucky's wound.Holding the tweezers, she held tightly the needle attached to the thin suture, her hands did not shake at all, because her patient was very cooperative, not only did not move, but even the slightest sound of pain or excessive breathing It didn't come out, and she even felt like she was doing an insignificant sewing exercise in college.

After treating Bucky's wound, Ashe quickly put away the medical kit.She looked at Bucky with the usual demeanor, and couldn't see Bucky who had just endured a lot of pain. She sighed and said, "You can bear it, you didn't even get a shot of anesthetic. head, weeping for a while."

"Being brainwashed is much more painful than this."

The corners of Bucky's mouth curled up, and the shadow of Sergeant Barnes, who was high-spirited more than 70 years ago, could be faintly seen in his smile.

But after hearing this, Ai Xi couldn't help feeling sad for him.And seeing the smile on his face, she couldn't help laughing too.He didn't need pity and sympathy, and Ashe felt that he wanted to be treated normally.

"I think deciding to take you in is the most correct thing I've ever done."

She picked up the towel on the side and rinsed it with water, and began to wipe the blood stained on Bucky's arms and chest.

The Winter Soldier's body is well-trained, with strong muscles and beautiful lines, and the patch-like gauze that has just been pasted on the shoulders does not affect the beauty of his strong figure in the slightest.Ashe was so focused on the horrific wound that she didn't realize that Bucky was facing her half-naked, and her cheek was so close to his pectoral that she could just move her eyeballs completely. Admire his plump chest muscles and well-defined abs, as well as the mermaid line that extends all the way to invisible places.Ashe, who had never had such a frank and close contact with the opposite sex, felt her ears burning.

She shifted her gaze to the calm face of the Winter Soldier, trying to find something to talk about: "You just went out, will it be caught by the camera? If so, will someone spot you and come to the door?"

After hearing this, Bucky's expression tended to return to the bitter and bitter Winter Soldier mode.He pondered for a while before saying, "Maybe."

Ashe's hand holding the towel paused. If he hadn't been in danger, he wouldn't have to face this uncertain situation.She shouldn't have chosen to go out this morning.

Ai Xi, who was immersed in self-blame, did not consider that if the other party was determined to find her, even if she hid at home forever, she would not be able to escape this disaster.

She tried her best to maintain a flat tone, making it seem like she was talking about an ordinary thing.

"Have you thought about it, how do you want to live in the future? You can't keep escaping."

Bucky looked directly into Ashe's eyes and said seriously, "I think I can join the Avengers. Steve asked me, but I didn't say yes to him. If they're still willing, I want to join "I've done a lot of wrong things in the past, and if I become a part of the Avengers, maybe I can atone for what I did in the past."

Ashe looked at Bucky, his expression was indifferent and calm, as if he had really thought it through.Ashe supports his decision, she hopes that Bucky can get even a little peace of mind, and from rational considerations, joining the Avengers is the best choice for Bucky.She didn't want him to spend decades in jail after 70 years enslaved by Hydra.

"You can put it in a better way, for example, to protect the world or something. I don't think you have to atone for any mistakes. To join the Avengers, what you need to do is revenge, especially for those who have hurt you. Of course, there are villains who threaten all mankind and the whole world. If you really feel sorry for the past, then find more opportunities to beat those Hydra guys. That merciless fellow with the gun to my head."

Hearing what Ashe said, Bucky's mouth widened a lot, and his green eyes flashed with a bright smile.

"Crossbones? I think you've avenged yourself. He was in custody until I left America."

"Great, I hope they lock him up to die of old age, or send him directly to a mental hospital to be with lunatics." Ashe wiped the last bit of blood off Bucky, and threw the towel and Bucky's blood-soaked shirt on the Together, and then said to Bucky, "If you want to call someone, I can lend you my mobile phone. I have the numbers of Captain America and Iron Man saved, which must be a unique privilege in the UK. "

Ashe followed Bucky, who was still shirtless, to the guest room where he was temporarily staying.He needed to get dressed, but Ashe was afraid he would tear the wound, so she offered a little help.

Ashe opened the closet door and rummaged through Bucky's clothes.All the clothes here are bought by her. The Winter Soldier obviously doesn't care much about dressing. Many clothes in the closet are still brand new, and the tags haven't been removed yet.

Ashe picked out a loose shirt and said, "Since you can't move your shoulders, I think it's more convenient for you to wear a shirt. Turn around."

Bucky turned around obediently, and Ashe tucked his mechanical left arm and immobile right arm into his shirt sleeve from behind, and turned him to face her again.

Ashe started buttoning Bucky's shirt from top to bottom, starting with the second one.Bucky was a head taller than Ashe, and she stood in front of him, so close to his chest, that she could almost feel the warmth and breath from his body on her cheeks.Ashe shifted her eyes uncomfortably from his abs to the clothes, quickly buttoning the remaining buttons, and only then did she remember that buttoning was something he could actually do.

"You must pay attention to the wound and don't move around. I know that your recovery ability is better than normal people, but at least for today, you will be a wounded person."

Bucky, whose shoulder was injured, could tear his unhealed wound by doing a little thing, and Ashe insisted that he stay in his sight.The two came to the kitchen together, and Ashe planned to find something to eat to appease her frightened self, and remember when she provoked such a fierce guy.

And the knock on the door from the hall made Ashe, who had just escaped from danger, nervous again. She looked at the Winter Soldier, and after receiving his nod, she walked to the door and looked at the looking glass embedded in the door.

She turned around quickly, her face was ugly and scary.The Winter Soldier's expression suddenly became grim, and Ashe shook her head at him.

"It's not those people." She looked very strange, like she was about to cry, but also like angry, she whispered to the Winter Soldier, "Outside the door is my brother."
