[Comprehensive British and American] The life of the villain and the body of the hero

Frozen in the darkness is fear and madness.

"There's no other way..." whispered with final hysteria.

"It could completely destroy the asset."

"Activate it, or we die."

"But……"

"Tonight is the deadline. If the Winter Soldier can't be found, you know the consequences. Even if the device is activated, the Winter Soldier can't come back...at least the family will die before us."

"We don't know their identities yet, maybe the higher-ups will be interested in this information."

"No, you don't understand, if I hadn't tried to hide from my superiors before... well, it's useless to say anything. Activate that device, send a signal, format the Winter Soldier's brain, and he will follow the initial instructions we gave him Work, he will come to find the people of the organization by himself. We are guarding the police channel tonight, where the massacre happened...just give him that instruction."

"I see, starting that device requires your permission."

"Just bring the things." The crazily low smile was vicious and cruel, "There is no other way, so what can I do?"

James and the Winter Soldier, who had played poker, finally found another thing for entertainment-TV and DVD discs.I don't know what Bruce was thinking when he was preparing the safe house, there were thousands of old and new movies next to the TV cabinet.

Maybe these are just for the people in the safe house to pass the time, or maybe the safe house wasn't all set up by Bruce.Instead of asking his adoptive parents, who were busy with Hydra troubles, James ordered buckets of popcorn and fizzy drinks from Clark and pulled a dozen CDs from the cabinet.

After eating the takeaway that Clark bought, Bruce was still thinking and analyzing, and Clark planned to go out to copy the intelligence information of the Riddler into the AI ​​system of Fort Solitude.Before parting, he saw others not paying attention and gently kissed the corner of Bruce's mouth. The latter glanced at him but did not avoid it, and continued to immerse his mind in the world of Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.

And James and the Winter Soldier nestled into the room to watch a movie again. This time they finished watching a "Titanic", watching the once beautiful and plump Rose become gray-haired, and a touch of bright light fell from her old fingertips. The dark blue finally falls into the calm ocean, and the picture gradually transforms into an ethereal dream.

The Titanic, sleeping on the bottom of the sea, became bright and tidy again, as if it had reappeared yesterday. The young Rose, dressed in fine clothes, walked slowly down the spiral staircase, and Jack, who was standing underneath, raised his head and showed a gentle and affectionate smile. .All those who died in the shipwreck watched as the couple slowly moved closer to each other, in the midst of nearly a century of separation—

The picture stops here.

"Is she dead?" The Winter Soldier asked suddenly, turning his head.

"Oh? Oh, you said Rose? I think she is dead." James replied: "In the end she found the ship, told the truth, returned the heart of the ocean to the deep sea, and died in the dream In. Returning to that ship again in a dream."

The Winter Soldier lowered his head, unconsciously fiddled with the cotton shield of the US team Q-version doll with his fingers, silent.

"You don't like the story?" James realized the Winter Soldier was upset.

"No, I just don't like the ending," the Winter Soldier said deadpan, his words becoming more slippery now.Bruce said that this is a good sign, indicating that the effect of brainwashing is fading step by step. If he cooperates with the treatment...maybe the Winter Soldier will be able to recover the normal sanity of ordinary people in a few years.

"So you don't like tragedies." James understands that the Winter Soldier is very irritable and indifferent to human life because of being brainwashed, but his nature is still childlike and straightforward. Of course he hates tragic stories.

"I hate that Carl, I want to crush him to death." The Winter Soldier suddenly became irritable, and the face of the American team doll between his fingers was deformed.

"That's just a fictional story, and many people think that Rose is sorry for Carl, after all, she is his fiancée. No matter how hypocritical and annoying Carl is, and no matter how deep the relationship between Rose and Jack is, it is true. , um, infidelity."

"She doesn't like him, she doesn't want to marry him," retorted the Winter Soldier, lifting his chin.

"But Rose agreed to the marriage, and even though it was threatened by her mother, she said yes."

"That's because she didn't see Jack before, why can't Rose go back on it?"

"Because Karl paid off the debt for Rose's family, if she goes back on her word..."

"So he bought her. He thinks Rose is his asset." The Winter Soldier's face darkened this time, and he couldn't blame him. The Winter Soldier hated the word "asset".

"If the Titanic hadn't sunk, maybe Jack and Rose wouldn't last long." James said softly. This was said by one of his high school classmates. The other party gave many examples to show that Jack and Rose would not be happy if they lived. s reason.

Because Rose's family still owes Carl money; because Jack is just a poor painter and cannot afford to support a rich lady like Rose who is used to extravagance; Will be dazzled by love; because love needs bread to support, otherwise wait for the passion to pass and have no regrets...

"It's two different things." The Winter Soldier repeated irritably again. "Whether the ship sinks or not, it's two different things."

James thought for a while, and then understood the general meaning of the Winter Soldier.In fact, after listening to the classmate's explanation, he refuted the other party: Even if Jack and Rose may not be happy in the future, Rose and Carl will definitely not be happy together.Although Rose is still young and impulsive, her prototype of character proves that she is by no means the kind of woman who is willing to be a bird in a cage.And Carl would never understand that.

What's more, whether you love or not and whether you will be happy in the future are two different things.

"So what about Rose's responsibility? She didn't think about what would happen to her mother after she eloped? What kind of scandal would it bring to Calgary? It was a different era, not like the era when true love comes first Ha, ha." His classmate had a disdainful attitude, as if Rose was a shameless and irresponsible woman.

Yes, responsibility, this word turned the true love between Rose and Jack into a pale joke, and it also made James unable to refute.This is probably the reason why the director had to let Jack die for Rose, because a beautiful love story does not need a long follow-up, nor does it need to face heavy reality and responsibility, and death can make everything perfect.

After all, no responsibility can deal with a dead person.

"This is just a fictional story. If you don't like it, we won't watch this kind of disaster romance. Do you like comedies? How about "Forrest Gump"? I've seen it two or three times." James said The topic changed, but the Winter Soldier was still immersed in unhappy emotions, and the American team doll in his hand was pinched into various shapes.

"Winter Soldier." James stretched out a finger and poked the arm of the person next to him. This is really gratifying. The Winter Soldier no longer rejects James from touching him, instead of directly attacking him when he is touched by someone at the beginning.

"I..." The Winter Soldier pouted and raised his head. Just as he was about to say something, his pupils shrank rapidly, and his whole body froze like a statue as if the pause button had been pressed.

James was in a hurry, reached out and pushed him: "What's wrong? What happened?"

The Winter Soldier's expression is constantly changing, at first pained, then blank, and finally blank.Empty as if the soul is no longer in the body, the emotions as a human being, and the self-awareness as a biological body have disappeared strangely, and he has become a "thing", which is a robot that can only follow instructions. Some expressions.

When the Winter Soldier looked down at James, the latter felt a chill down his spine, as if being stared at by a metal machine.

In the next second, he flew into the air, was thrown heavily against the wall, and then hit the ground hard.James felt screaming pain all over his body, and he lay on the ground, clawing the floor with his fingers convulsively.

His head was so painful and dizzy from the impact, he felt tinnitus and dizziness, a creepy sense of danger made him roll to the left enduring the severe pain, he saw the metal arm of the Winter Soldier on the spot where he was lying A hole was poked in place.

The Winter Soldier is really killing people, and he strives for a clean death.

Panting, James braced himself to avoid the next blow from the Winter Soldier.The wall was trembling from the beating, and the wall dust fell down one after another. When the Winter Soldier pulled back his arm, James swept his legs and attacked the Winter Soldier's lower body.

Fighting the Winter Soldier requires the belief that you must die. Even so, James knows that he can't beat him at all.He didn't have Clark's strength, nor Clark's invulnerable body.The combat training he has received without actual combat experience is scum to the experienced Winter Soldier!

The Winter Soldier broke James' left arm and stomped on a bone in his left leg.Before the severe pain came, James could only hear the crisp sound of bone cracking, and was at a loss for a moment.People who have never broken a bone will not know how much this pain can reach. It is the scream that makes even the strongest people unable to control the physiological reflex. There is no such thing as pain to numbness, only a burst of pain. It was so tortured that people couldn't think of anything except howling.

Two batarids interrupt the Soldier's kill, but the Soldier dodges one when he releases James, and deflects the other with his metal arm.He looked at Bruce in the wheelchair without emotion, and then rushed over——

They wrestle with each other, with the brutal Winter Soldier dismantling Bruce's wheelchair with his bare hands, before he's had time to install security systems in all the safe houses or get hold of any heavy weapons.The self-protection weapon installed in the wheelchair just in case was quickly exhausted. After being disassembled, Bruce could only fall to the floor, passively resisting the furious attack of the Winter Soldier.

James barely lifted his head, tried to get up on one hand and one foot, and he needed to help Bruce.

"Don't come here!" The hoarse voice was extremely harsh.

"But Bruce..."

"I called Clark." Bruce explained curtly, not knowing how long it would take for Clark to come back.

James bit his lip, a sense of guilt and pain stronger than the physical torment.It's all his fault... he's the one who brought the Winter Soldier into this house, the one who begged Clark to help him.He knew it wasn't the Winter Soldier's fault, if the Winter Soldier had any sense of self at this moment, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

Hydra!

See what Bruce paid for his Madonna and Folly?Who does he think he is?Did he think he could deal with Hydra with a self-righteous kindness?In the end, it wasn't his adoptive fathers who took the time to protect himself and solve the problem?In the end, isn't Bruce the one who bears the consequences and risks?

It was his fault, it was Bruce who was hurt...if anything happened to Bruce...

Bruce turned his head to avoid the Winter Soldier's fierce punch. He groped to the underside of the armrest of the wheelchair, opened the mechanism cassette, took out a small can from it, and sprayed it at the Winter Soldier's face.

The Winter Soldier had to let go of Bruce and stumbled a few steps back.However, the specially modified Winter Soldier can resist most drugs, and such a small dose of hypnotic potion is useless, and he quickly returned to fighting state.

But this time, Bruce couldn't resist anymore, and the Winter Soldier easily twisted the old man's neck, just like breaking a branch.

The Winter Soldier walked over to James, who was lying on the ground, his eyes wide open and howling in pain. The latter could no longer think about anything.He stares so hard at his adoptive father who died for him that he doesn't even bother to fight back when the Winter Soldier strangles him.

The light of life was extinguished in those green eyes, and the Winter Soldier saw himself at this moment in those lifeless eyes.He let go of his hand and let the body slide softly to the floor...
