Dr. Warren is a little busy

The Winter Soldier had some weird ups and downs as he infiltrated his destination in Brooklyn, New York, by night.He's never felt this way while on missions in the past, in fact, most of the time he doesn't feel anything in particular.

The clothes on the sofa, the backpack and the high heels on the carpet suggest that there is a second person in the house besides him.But he just took a cursory look at these items that obviously belonged to women, and without staying in the living room too much, he was led to the kitchen by a wonderful smell of food.When he found empty pots and bowls in the sink, he felt a little regretful, and even knocked off a glass on the table because of a moment of distraction.The sound of the cup falling to the tiled floor in a heap of splinters was all the more pronounced in the empty house.

This is not normal, the Winter Soldier clenched the dagger in his hand, he should not be easily affected by these details, he should focus on his task without distraction, not only has he never missed a shot, but he has always been extremely efficient.He withdrew his somewhat sloppy mind, hid his figure in the darkness, and listened carefully to whether there were any sounds coming from the house.

The shattering of the glass wasn't a purely bad thing, at least it attracted the Winter Soldier's prey.The Winter Soldier, hiding in the darkness, heard footsteps pass by the kitchen, and with it came a scent of fruit and flowers, which affected him as strangely as every detail in this strange house. nerves and heart.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, the Winter Soldier tensed his muscles, ready to deliver a fatal blow to his target.And when his target finally came to him, he grabbed the lamb by the throat with the precision of a cheetah, and slammed his prey against the corner of the wall.

He stared at his target closely by the moonlight, but the dagger he had held in his hand for a long time did not move for a long time.She was much weaker than he had imagined, short and thin compared to him, her face was wrinkled from the sudden attack and pain, and there was more surprise than fear in her expression.

The rosy cheeks, wet eyes, long hair that was still dripping, and the only bath towel on her body showed that she was in a bad state when she just climbed out of the bathtub.From his perspective, he could see a large area of ​​exposed skin and undulating curves, as well as her hands tightly clutching the towel on her chest.

She was trembling, and the Winter Soldier felt that he felt compassion for a certain moment. The hand that was holding her neck loosened slightly, so that she was no longer suspended in the air, but stood back up again. ground.

He collected himself, not letting himself be affected by these abnormal feelings, and recalled his mission: eliminate everyone in this house.

He had never been curious in the past, but now, he really wanted to know why this seemingly weak and harmless woman had to be eliminated.

He forced himself to give up thinking about this doomed answer, and refocused his guilt on the task.As long as the dagger moves lightly, he can quietly annihilate this fragile life in this quiet night.It is obviously an unwise choice to use a gun in this densely populated place. The sound of the gun is likely to cause some trouble for the subsequent escape. Unfortunately, he did not bring a muffler this time.

"Bucky, why is this..."

Her voice was full of fragility, trembling as if she was about to cry, and her complex expression shocked him.

She knows him.The conclusion is obvious and unpleasant.The Winter Soldier frowned fiercely, dissatisfied with the current situation.

Her trembling hands reached out to his fingers, but she didn't try to move them away from her neck, she just stroked them in a cautious way, her gentle movements seemed to say something he couldn't understand thing.

The Winter Soldier's heart skipped a beat as she moved, and the sensation in his fingers made his sanity explode with a bang.He withdrew his hand suddenly, and his prey lost its center of gravity due to his movement, and fell suddenly towards him.He should have avoided it, he hated having physical contact with anyone, but he just stood there in a daze, waiting for her to pounce into his arms just like that, with negligible expectations.

The Winter Soldier felt as if he had encountered the greatest crisis in his career, his assassination target was crying hoarsely in his arms, but he just couldn't stop to wring her slender and fair neck.After mercilessly taking lives that he couldn't even count, he actually gave in to a woman who had no offensive power.

The Winter Soldier felt that the scene gave him a subtle sense of familiarity. He felt as if he had experienced something similar before, and even the sound of her sobbing was not the first time he heard it.He stood stiffly, not knowing whether he should plunge the dagger into the heart of the woman in front of him and let her fall in a pool of blood to drain the last drop of blood, or should he pat her on the back and let her go smoothly because of crying breath.

What an ironic thought, the Winter Soldier despises his own hypocrisy in his heart.He clearly came here to take her life, but he hypocritically wanted to be a considerate gentleman here.

But who can tell him what is preventing him from raising the dagger?He was sure his head was all right, his arms and hands were all right, but the movement just couldn't come together smoothly.

The woman in his arms stopped crying faster than he had imagined. She took a step back and leaned against the wall again, shrunk her shoulders as if all her strength had been taken away, her hands still clenched her wrinkled lips tightly. bath towel.

"Why did you come? To kill me?"

Her voice made the Winter Soldier's heart tremble slightly. For some reason, he felt that she shouldn't have this kind of voice. Her voice should be lighter and softer than this, as soft as a quilt that has been exposed to the sun all day. Fluffy, with just the right temperature, making his soul and cock feel relaxed and happy, as if he was in the clouds.

He opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say a word.He had come to realize that this woman was something special to him, that she was unlike anyone else, that she had a strange but undeniable influence on him.His body is consciously and automatically avoiding hurting her. From the very beginning, he used the right hand of his flesh and blood instead of a stronger mechanical arm to pinch her neck. He didn't keep her breathing in mid-air. The difficult position was suffocating, he couldn't hurt her with the dagger, and he didn't even want to let her fall to the ground.His every move was taking care of her unconsciously, even though his reason couldn't understand, but the body's reaction didn't need to be directed deliberately.

And he didn't know what was going on, why he lost his mind like this, and he didn't know whether he should complete the task coldly, or immediately obey his subconscious and stop all actions.

"If you don't deny it, then you admit it." She shrank from the cold, put her arms around her shoulders, and said calmly, "If I ask you not to kill me, will you think I'm ridiculous?"

It was not her who was ridiculous, but himself.The Winter Soldier lowered his eyes slightly, looked at her cheeks that had lost their original rosy color due to the cold and fear, and shook his head slightly.

There was something in his eyes that he couldn't read, and she smiled and said: "It seems that you know very well that no one will die willingly. I don't want to die, but I can give up this life for you. If you have to finish this The task is not allowed, so please forget about me after the matter is over."

"No." He said subconsciously, "No. I can't..."

Can't what?Can't kill her to complete the mission?Can't forget this strange woman?Still can't give up the feeling she has never had before?

Why does he have to complete the task?Why would he do these things against his will?Isn't he an asset, tool, and murderous weapon of Hydra?Why are there these complex emotions that shouldn't be there?

She cupped his face in her hands, and he was surprised that he didn't even want to move away.Her hands were as cold as ice, and he shivered unconsciously.

"I'm glad to hear that answer, Bucky. Wouldn't it be a little out of character for me to tell you now that I'm looking forward to having that ring on my finger?"

Her smile was like the sunshine melting the ice, suddenly chipping away a shell that shouldn't exist outside his heart.He felt that he understood her "inappropriateness" somewhat, and although he did not yet understand what that meant, he was already beginning to enjoy it.

"Listen to me, Bucky. You feel empty inside, don't you? It's as if a lot of things that belonged to you have been taken away." She looked straight into his eyes and said to him seriously , "Your memory is like a house built of blocks, which is not very strong in itself, and then deliberately knocked down, all the blocks are mixed together. You may think that you don't remember anything, but in fact they are all It's still in your head, but you can't see it clearly. The next thing I have to do is to put them back together piece by piece, will you believe me?"

Without thinking about it, he just nodded his head to express his willingness.He believed in her so much, believed that she would not hurt himself, and believed that she could do what she said, put the messy building blocks in his mind back piece by piece.

She smiled slightly, and said to him gently but firmly: "Okay, don't move, don't think about anything, just look into my eyes."

He obediently did so, and then felt a bit of a headache, but he was not bothered by the pain, he just looked into her eyes intently, without thinking about anything, without moving.

The pupils of the eyes met each other, and it seemed that time stood still for a moment. The Winter Soldier felt as if he was experiencing some pain, but he seemed to be happy.When the shining brown eyes in front of him suddenly closed, he suddenly felt very confused.

"Ashe?"

Bucky stared blankly at the girlfriend with a bad face in front of him, not quite understanding what was going on.His memories were a bit muddled, and he tried to sort them out, but was disturbed by the situation in front of him.

He knew exactly what the white towel was covering up, and although it was very inappropriate, he wanted to tear it off and throw it aside.

Ashe hugged him violently, and Bucky who didn't expect it was taken half a step backward by the sudden impact, then he stabilized his body and hugged his girlfriend back.The moment he touched her, he couldn't help frowning. Her body was as cold as ice, and she was still trembling slightly.

"Why is your body so cold? You're going to be sick."

But Ashe could only care about crying, she was sobbing and unable to utter a complete sentence.Bucky had no choice but to hug Ashe, and quickly walked upstairs to their bedroom, ignoring his dirty clothes, he hugged her cold and got into the quilt tightly.

"Dear Ashe, don't cry, my heart is breaking. It's all my fault, don't torture yourself by crying, okay?"

Bucky's heart ached from Ashe's tears. Her eyes and nose turned red from crying, which made his eyes turn slightly red.He already vaguely understood that she was sad because of him, but right now he didn't have the time to think about it so much, he just focused on coaxing Ash who kept crying.

Fortunately, his girl was tougher than most people, and he thought she would wet the entire quilt, but in fact the only sacrifice was his top.

"Have you been injured these days?"

Ashe's voice still had a strong nasal tone, but she was not angry at all, and she didn't complain to him about the reason that made her so sad. She just asked with concern that such a question was not important to him at all. The problem.

"No, I'm fine."

Ai Xi still had a distressed face, she looked up at him seriously, and the feeling of being cared made his heart beat faster.

"Do you remember how you got home?"

Bucky carefully searched the memory in his mind, and said slowly: "I seem to have picked the lock."

"Well, I have to change a lock tomorrow. Before that?"

Bucky's hand caressed Ashe's back unconsciously, and continued: "I was sent to New York by plane, for..."

"For a mission. They brainwashed you again." Ashe's brows furrowed and she touched Bucky's cheek, she said, "That hurts, doesn't it?"

It really hurt, but Bucky smiled and said, "I don't remember."

Ashe's expression seemed to say that you were lying, but she let go of the topic and continued to ask: "Who is the person who gave you the task, do you remember? Where were you before you came to New York?"

"I went on a mission with Steve and them. In addition to Steve and me, there were Stark, Romanov, Barton, and Wilson. It was in Bahrain, and we were for the terrorist organization that was wreaking havoc in New York Headquarters."

Bucky finally straightened out his memory, and slowly told Ashe, "But it's a trap, and someone in that headquarters has already arranged everything for us to go in. They use a method that I have never encountered before. The poisonous gas stunned us, and when I awoke again, I saw no one else. Then came a dark-haired man, very thin, pale, wearing a strange armor, who seemed to talk a lot, Do something else, and then I get into that kind of... that kind of situation."

Ashe's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't believe her deduction and said: "The black-haired man is very thin, pale, and has a strange armor. He is against S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers...is it Thor? Loki? I didn’t expect him to come to Earth again. But I don’t think there is anything to worry about, since he was defeated by the Avengers once before, so this time he will not succeed in achieving his ambitions.”

"Why did he ask me to come..."

Bucky couldn't continue speaking, he couldn't say the words "kill you".

Ashe said with some displeasure: "He wanted to break you from the heart. You were controlled by his spells or illusions, and others didn't know if it was the same. But you didn't really hurt me, I I hope that the other Avengers will not do anything irreversible."

Bucky said with some seriousness: "If I really hurt you today, I must not be able to forgive myself. No matter who he is, his guess is right. Ashe, you are the most important thing to me in the whole world Man, whenever I want you to be safe, you should just use your abilities to crush me instead of putting yourself in danger."

"The coincidence is that I can't use my ability handily now. I encountered a little unpleasant thing this afternoon."

Ashe told Bucky about her experience, and Bucky felt more and more that this was a well-established game, and Yelena was just a pawn in it.But if Ashe's idea is correct, following this clue, more truths will definitely be uncovered.

But this is not what he needs to consider now, the first thing he has to do now is to send his baby girl to a place of absolute safety, and then go to find his partners who are in crisis.
