Dr. Warren is a little busy

The Winter Soldier was not tied up for a long time, but he was a little nervous.Steve looked at him with encouraging eyes, patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, pointed to the door in front of him, and beckoned him to go in by himself.

The Winter Soldier was a little nervous, he took a deep breath, and pushed open the door in front of him.After entering the door, he saw a young girl.Her appearance is not outstanding, but her face is very soft, which makes people feel relaxed unconsciously.Especially her brown eyes seem to have a kind of power that makes people trust her unconditionally.Steve told him about the identity and abilities of Dr. Warren, and the Winter Soldier hoped that she would free him from fear and pain.But he is unwilling to confide in anyone, the sins on him are too heavy, and he cannot pass them on to others.

"Hello."

He hadn't talked to such a gentle and harmless woman for a long time, and he felt a little at a loss when he opened his mouth.But fortunately, the other party replied quickly and extended his right hand to him.

"Good morning, Mr. Barnes, my name is Ash Warren. I guess the captain has introduced me to you."

Bucky shook hands with Ashe carefully, and then moved his metal left arm hidden in the pocket of his coat somewhat at a loss.He feels uncomfortable.

"Sit down, please." Ashe took a seat first, and the Winter Soldier sat across from her.

The Winter Soldier felt that the other party must have seen his embarrassment, but it seemed like he didn't. He took a deep breath, thinking that maybe he should try to cooperate with her well.

Ashe smiled softly, looked at the Winter Soldier with calm eyes, and said, "Can you please talk about your experience first? I also heard something about you from Steve yesterday, but I want to hear more Your own words."

The Winter Soldier was at a loss, but he tried to stop the language, and then slowly told his story from the beginning: "I was born in New York, er, Brooklyn, about 90 years ago. My dad was in business, and my mom was in Working in a bank, our family was rich, but I wasn't having a good time. Then in middle school, I met Steve."

Bucky clenched his hands in his pockets and started talking about his time with Steve.

"He was very skinny and short when he was a kid. Some people liked to bully him, school bullying and stuff like that. I was taller than most boys and I helped Steve a lot. But it's about the money He resolutely refuses to accept my help..."

"His mother's name is Sarah. She was as thin as him, but the food she cooked was delicious. It's a pity that she passed away early due to lung disease..."

"Steve loves to draw, he wants to be a painter, but he never has the money to buy canvases and paints..."

"He's not good at dealing with girls, but I'm good at it. Once..."

Bucky talked for a long time, then suddenly stopped for a while, and Ashe didn't urge him, he was silent for a while before continuing: "Then we fought the German Nazis, and I joined the army. Steve gave up His art dream is to join the army. I advised him not to go, he was so thin, I was afraid that he would fall directly on the training ground, or even die on the battlefield. But he insisted on going his own way. Later he became Captain America, and I became Captain America. Tools of Hydra. You know the rest."

Ash frowned, as if troubled by something, she said tentatively: "Mr. Barnes, you don't mind if I feel your emotions?"

Bucky shook his head.

"Your emotions are very complicated, very complicated. I can hardly distinguish them one by one in a short time, but I can feel that the heaviest of them seems to be fear. Can you tell me, what are you afraid of?"

Bucky's breathing suddenly became a little short, and he looked up at the girl opposite, only to find that she was looking at him worriedly.He suddenly remembered his mother, who also had brown hair, and he inherited his own hair color from her.

He couldn't help softening his heart, and said: "I'm afraid of being brainwashed again, afraid of losing my memory and forgetting these again, and becoming what I was before. I killed Howard Stark and his wife, and I almost killed Steve. Well, they were all my friends once. I don't know every single one of the people I killed, but I do, and there were a lot of them, because I can remember their faces. I don't want to live that life again."

"Steve doesn't blame you. If Howard and Maria knew the truth, I guess they wouldn't hold a grudge against you. It's all caused by your hands, but it's Hydra's sin in the end. I know it well I think everyone will understand this point." Ashe stretched out her hand to Bucky, "If you want to atone for your sins, there is still time. Let me help you, okay? Now, don't think about those anymore, hold your hand Hold my hand and relax, I will help you from the side, but in the end you still have to rely on yourself. Please don't think about anything, or recall it so that you can remember it easily and happily."

Bucky trembled slightly and stretched out his right hand, holding Ashe's white and slender fingers.He tried to restrain his strength, he didn't want to hurt the doctor.He recalled how when he and Steve went to high school together, they were often on the verge of being late and had to run into the classroom.Steve always ran out of strength after a short run, and he would slow down and laugh while waiting for him to catch up.That was his most carefree period of time.

After that, he felt that his anxiety and fear gradually disappeared, and the remorse, sadness and pain that were entangled and tortured him gradually disappeared. He felt the long-lost peace and relaxation, and even a little happiness.Some ridiculous thoughts came to his mind. He really wanted to go to the bar for a drink, dance with the blondes, and then ride his motorcycle while drunk and stupefied, and go back to Brooklyn to sleep at home. Sleep.

He felt like he was back in his early twenties, before he joined the army.

Bucky felt a little burning in his heart. He wanted to hug the respectable doctor in front of him, but he put away the thought because he was only a young girl.

Ashe stretched out her free left hand, covered Bucky's trembling hand holding her fingertips, and said gently: "Mr. Barnes, for the next week, I suggest you have a regular work and rest, eat healthy, and take care of yourself. Exercise in moderation. If you feel the effects wear off and the negative emotions come back and you can’t fight them, get in touch with me right away, okay? Steve has my contact number.”

It was only then that Bucky noticed that he was still holding the other's finger, he quickly let go, and said a little helplessly, "Thank you, Dr. Warren. Thank you very much."

Ashe smiled very gently and sincerely: "This is my duty."

Bucky recalls how popular he was with girls when he was young, and girls always liked to chat and dance with him.But now, facing this Dr. Warren, he is awkwardly like Steve back then.

Bucky noticed that Dr. Warren was tired, and he guessed that the treatment wasn't harmless for her.He became more grateful and respectful of the doctor, and became more at a loss.

"Are you all right, Dr. Warren?"

Ashe smiled and said, "I'm totally fine, you don't mind. I just need a few minutes to rest, it's not necessary for everyone to know. I guess you're not busy right now, are you? I want you to stay with me Sit for a while."

Bucky sat silently in his chair. He was embarrassed to disturb Dr. Warren. He guessed that she felt so suddenly tired because of inputting emotions into herself, and this process was not so easy for her.He felt ashamed and grateful at the same time.

After about 5 minutes, Ashe opened her eyes and said to Bucky, "Thank you for sitting with me, Mr. Barnes. I suggest you go and have a meal now, I guess you should be hungry."

A bad mood can cause people to lose their appetite, so many people will feel a sudden hunger after a sudden emotional rejuvenation.Bucky understands this, because he does feel a good appetite popping up inside him, but he's very patient.

He felt that he had nothing to hide from the doctor, nodded honestly and said, "Yes, I feel very hungry. I want to eat some beef, but you just told me to eat healthy."

"If it's just some beef, I can allow it," Ashe winked at him, and said playfully, "as long as you don't eat cheese and butter at the same time, and remember to eat a salad. I happen to know a good one nearby store, but I haven't been there for almost two years. I haven't been to New York in fact for a year, and I've been living in London during that time."

"Maybe Steve would like to lend me his motorcycle."

"I'm more inclined to borrow a car. It's still cold in New York. In fact, Mr. Stark has a lot of good sports cars. I've seen at least three in the news." Ashe smiled and leaned forward , blinked, and then said to Bucky, "So, can I have lunch with you, Mr. Barnes? As your doctor, I think you need some fresh air."

Bucky smiled slightly, and he realized how young and lovely she was after hearing some playful words from her.For a while now, she felt too reliable to him, like a trustworthy elder, he even ignored her age.

A young girl, who had just given himself a huge favor, was now inviting him to lunch, and Bucky felt certain cells in his body come alive.He used to be a suave playboy, focused on trying to please all the pretty girls.He thought that everything that belonged to that Bucky Barnes had disappeared, but at this moment he really felt something revived.

Ashe leaves the room to convince the other superheroes to allow Bucky to hang out.Bucky knew that he was a little reckless, and he had no idea whether this matter would succeed, but he longed for the taste of freedom in his heart.He was a little apprehensive, but only a little bit.He realized the power of Ashe's ability, if it weren't for her emotional input just now, he would have been nervous and his heart would beat fast.

Within five minutes, Ashe was back with a palpable smile on her face.Bucky knew she had succeeded.

Sure enough, Ashe said to him, "Stark agreed to lend me a car, but he asked me to return it before dark. What a stingy Mr. Rich. I think we can go to dinner and then do it." Do something else you want to do. I know they don't like to let you go free, but trust me, after my treatment shows good results, they will set you free. Maybe next month you will be able to Find a decent one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn and move in."

Bucky knew that the order to come back before dark was for him, not this harmless girl in front of him or a sports car that Stark couldn't care less about.But her harmless words were undoubtedly taking care of his feelings, which touched his heart that had just begun to recover.

The two bid farewell to a group of superheroes with abnormal expressions, and drove away from Stark Tower in Stark's sports car.Bucky was sitting in the driver's seat, but he wasn't driving. Instead, the artificial intelligence did it for him.He concentrated on enjoying the sunshine and breeze, and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.He knew that the group of people would discuss for about half an hour, and then he went back and questioned him one by one.But he didn't care, the hard-won hours of free time were too precious, and he was willing to exchange them for double-time cross-examination.

Ashe recommended a small shop. The owner was a fat man, and he entertained them warmly.There are a lot of customers in the store, and the store is full of seats. Everyone greets and chats with the boss enthusiastically. Their voices are very noisy, but Bucky doesn't find it annoying at all.

Ashe suggested to Bucky the fried beef tenderloin and vegetable salad without salad dressing, with a glass of citrus mixed juice that looked very healthy.

"Citrus fruits are helpful for people's memory." After taking a sip of her semi-sweet white wine, Ashe seriously explained to the Winter Soldier, who looked a little thirsty for alcohol, "and you will be sitting in the driver's seat for a while. At the banquet, you can’t drink, or you will be in trouble if you are stopped by the traffic police. They don’t care about artificial intelligence and automatic driving.”

Bucky nodded, drinking or not is not the most important thing, he is already happy enough to be in such an ordinary and everyday environment.

"What would you like to do after dinner?"

Bucky thought for a while and said, "Museum, or art gallery."

Ashe smiled pleasantly, and she said, "Good advice. How about the Museum of Natural History? Or the Metropolitan Museum of Art is also very good. Although I have lived in New York for more than ten years, I have never seriously completed it. I have visited."

The beef in this shop is very good. Bucky eats it very seriously. He feels that he has never been so hungry.He used to hate vegetable salads, especially cold lettuce leaves, but this time he ate them all, and even the glass of juice was bottomed out.

"What do you think of this restaurant? Is it delicious?" Ashe said enthusiastically, "Riwen recommended it to me, but I haven't seen her for a long time. She is my teacher Ze Professor Weir's sister, but then they didn't get along very well, you know, the battle between us mutants is a bit complicated."

Then she lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of being heard by others.Bucky didn't know Raven and Professor Xavier she was talking about, and he didn't even know what mutants were.But this didn't prevent him from nodding his head, responding to the girl in front of him as if he fully understood.He quietly wrote down another piece of knowledge that he needed to know in his heart.

He doesn't know a thing about the current era, but he now has some ideas of wanting to fit in.
