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

What is a normal family like?Ouroboros doesn't know that his home is anything but "normal".

But sometimes the little snake thinks, maybe a home that makes people feel at ease is like this now.Even if you are injured all over from bruises outside, and you run back full of sadness and grievances, someone at home will always say to you: "Let's have dinner together when you come back."

They will sit around a small dining table, and the delicious warm food will soothe your wounded heart. No one will deliberately ask you the reason for coming back, unless you plan to say it yourself.

Clark's craftsmanship is as good as ever, but the simple baked mashed potatoes are very delicious, and there is a strong milk flavor in the mouth.The thick cheese seemed to stick the person's mouth shut, and the little snake chewed silently, but couldn't open its mouth.

"Is Tim okay? I guess he did something to the Samaritan."

"It's not exposed, he's still undercover."

"Well, did Wishbone stay here all the time? He lives on the second floor?"

"No, a guest room is reserved for him on the third floor. He just stayed here for a while, and he will be on a mission later."

"I saw that Bonnie gained a lot of weight, is she pregnant?"

"She just ate too much and didn't move too much, but Clark was going to introduce her to the stallion."

"........."

The warm yellow restaurant lights softened everyone's expressions. James, who was short of words, couldn't think of anything else to talk about. He lowered his head, scraped off the last bit of mashed potatoes with a spoon, and put them in his mouth, as if he wanted to Make this one bite last forever.It's a pity that no matter how slowly you eat a mouthful of mashed potatoes, you will have the moment to swallow it.

Xiao Snake cleared his throat, and said awkwardly: "I have temporarily withdrawn from the Avengers."

Bruce nodded, "I guess."

"The memory of the Winter Soldier came back so suddenly, I need to find him. I wonder if Clarke can help."

"Find it and bring it back. His brain will have to be checked thoroughly." Bruce took a sip of tea, as if what his adoptive son just mentioned was not a big deal.

"..." Little snake.

Bruce's attitude was unexpected, but it was expected after careful consideration.His words and deeds all express one thing: you need it, we are here, but I will not interfere with your decision, nor will I get to the bottom of it.

"If possible, I would like to find the Winter Soldier tonight." James looked at Clark.

Clark nodded, but persuaded gently: "If you don't rest, at least take a bath and change clothes."

The tattered Hydra agent uniform is not a good dress to meet a lover, especially from such a distance, he and Bruce can smell the blood and engine oil on the adopted son.

With Superman present, it is easy to find the Winter Soldier, and in fact the Winter Soldier is back in New York.

In the dead of night, Superman quietly put his adopted son down, and he rubbed his adopted son's hair.Unknowingly, the child has grown so big, it only reached his waist before, but now it reaches his chin. A heroic man will start to pursue his partner.Although, to be honest, the Winter Soldier is really not a suitable daughter-in-law.

"He's in that memorial, go find him." Superman said softly.

Ouroboros took a deep look at his adoptive father, took a breath and turned to walk towards the Captain America Memorial.He heard the sound of Superman's cape flying away, but didn't look back.He simply and neatly dissolved the door lock, pushed the door open and walked in.

After the museum closed, the building was completely dark, with no light at all, except for the occasional glimmer of moonlight. On a small piece of the floor, the patterns of the windows were projected.Ouroboros couldn't get used to his gaze at first, and after a while, he gradually saw the outlines of the surrounding things again.He saw a figure standing in front of a certain memorial wall.

Ouroboros didn't make a sound to disturb, he walked over and saw clearly what the man looked like in the dark.

The Winter Soldier changed out of his heavy soldier clothes, got a long-sleeved sweatshirt from somewhere, and wore a baseball cap on his head.This kind of dress made his face no longer look bitter and bitter, but instead had a frivolous and casual feeling.

The concave and convex memorial wall is carved with the figure of the US team, and on the other side is a group of reliefs of the US team's former comrades-in-arms.

The Winter Soldier reaches out and strokes the face of "James Barnes". This sculpture is very realistic, at least this face resembles him.Hydra wouldn't let him remember the past, but they couldn't make the Winter Soldier not look in the mirror either, would they?

"It's like a dream, but unfortunately it's a nightmare." The Winter Soldier who recovered his memory even spoke in a different tone.

It's more fluid and natural, and more ironic, which makes Ouroboros feel foreign.But among the strangers, there are more shadows of the Winter Soldier.Memories shape character, and Barnes's memories may change the Winter Soldier, but they can't make the part of the Winter Soldier disappear.Even for Barnes, the Winter Soldier is the most painful thing in his life and what he wants to forget.

"I know, it feels like the devil has borrowed your body, and the real you can only watch it do evil. Every picture is like a layer of filter paper, but when you touch it, you find that it is you .” The voice of the little snake echoed in the empty memorial hall, and the ending sound slowly dissipated in the air, like an unknown curse.

"I don't even know whether to resent others or kill myself."

"Those culprits who want to die, but feel that they are cheap."

"Things I did, it would drive me crazy to even think about it."

"Blood gushing over, I can't wash my hands clean."

"Part of me wants to strangle this body, and part of me wants to strangle that me."

"The brain is torn into two opposing parts, and I know it's me, but I sometimes forget that."

"Am I the Winter Soldier, or James Barnes? I can't be both, no, they shouldn't be the same. But I'm not two."

The Winter Soldier kept saying similar words, and each sentence seemed to tear his soul apart.As the contradiction became more and more prominent, his face became paler and paler, and finally he looked like a ghost who had just crawled out of hell.

"I know." Ouroboros repeated, "I know."

No one knows this kind of split personality pain better than them.Due to the irreconcilable conflict between the two memories.They always feel like they have two personalities, one dedicated to killing the other.The part as Ouroboros vehemently denies the part as James Layton, just as James Barnes denies the existence of the Winter Soldier.

But even at this point, their reason is still firmly tied to the two identities, telling them with cruel facts: Don't struggle, these two are you, and you did all these things.

Want to die?Of course, countless times he wanted to die.But he resented the perpetrators even more.No no, why is he going to die?Hydra is not dead yet, why should he let them go?

I don't know who moved first, but wait until you come back to your senses.Ouroboros found that they were already hugging each other, the man who always had an expressionless face pressed him to the ground fiercely, lowered his head and bit his shoulder.

Blood flowed down his shoulder, and the Winter Soldier bit the piece of flesh fiercely, and for a moment it seemed as if he would tear the whole piece of flesh off.However, the extreme pain did not come from the shoulder, Ouroboros closed his eyes, the pain in his heart was about to crush him.The pain that spread to every inch of bone and flesh and blood burst out from the heart, and even the fingertips were painful.

Sobbing and crying came from the huge venue, so desperate and forbearing.

The Winter Soldier fell on top of him, opened his mouth and let go of the poor flesh, and began to cry silently.Tears quickly wet Ouroboros's newly changed clothes, mixed with blood and flowing down into the wound, it hurts like salt.

Ouroboros hugged the Winter Soldier tightly, and they were like two wounded and howling beasts, huddling together in the empty Captain America Memorial Hall, revealing the hidden bloody wounds to each other look.

After an unknown amount of time, they let go of each other and lay exhausted on the floor.

The moonlight in the window was gradually replaced by the magnificence of dawn, and Ouroboros heard the even breathing sound of the Winter Soldier around him, as well as the heartbeats of each other echoing each other in extreme silence.

"Let's end it like this," said the Winter Soldier beside him.

Ouroboros was silent for a few seconds, "Okay."

The Winter Soldier... No, he should be called Bucky now, and Bucky paused for breath, and continued, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But I... can't take it."

What can't be accepted?Can't being Barnes accept everything about the Winter Soldier?

But Ouroboros can't think of any reason to blame his lover, he doesn't even have the authority to say "no".He put his hand over Bucky's, who trembled but didn't take his hand away.

"I think—" Ouroboros considered it, "it's not your fault. But from a selfish point of view, I still hope to see you, not as the Winter Soldier, but as Barnes. I've only read about you in books, Bucky."

"...My name is not Bucky, but Barnes." Bucky said dryly.

Ouroboros laughed, admiring that he could still laugh now.He imagined how Steve called "Bucky", and how the latter corrected him blankly: "My name is not Bucky, it's Barnes!"

"What's so funny about that?" Bucky said slightly annoyed.

"No no, I'm just happy that at least I know your name. In a way, that's a good thing, Bucky."

It's Barnes, you bastard did it on purpose.

Ouroboros turned over and changed from lying on his back to lying on his side. He looked at the embarrassed Bucky until he started to fidget, then he slightly curled the corner of his mouth and said, "Nice to meet you, James Barn Si, look forward to it for a long time."

"In terms of history, I don't have anything to boast about. It's about the same for Steve or Peggy." Bucky refused to admit that when he heard this greeting, his heart fluctuated violently .He got up and said, "We should go. I don't want to explain to the New York police what broke the lock."

"Oh, come on, as if you didn't break the lock on the back door."

Bucky turned his head abruptly, and said fiercely: "At least I won't go through the front door when I break in illegally."

Ouroboros also got up, and he straightened his clothes, his shoulders were already bloody, and the fabric was stuck to the wound.But the little snake didn't care too much, if he wanted to deal with it, he could heal it with his supernatural power later.

"What are you going to do? Hydra has been badly damaged, but not wiped out. They will continue to hunt you down."

"I wish for it." Bucky's face showed killing intent.

"What about Steve? What about him?" asked the little snake.

As soon as Captain America was mentioned, Bucky seemed a little hesitant. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm not fit to meet him. Now I can only cause trouble for him. Although he certainly won't mind, I don't want to Do it."

"So you want to destroy Hydra alone?"

"Why not?"

Ouroboros hesitated for a moment, "I have temporarily withdrawn from the Avengers Alliance. Of course, I still want to deal with Hydra. Considering that the enemy has the same goal, I will call you if I get information. In return, you can deal with Hydra Be sure to take me with you when you are the head snake. I will make them pay the price."

"Okay." Bucky nodded.

Now they have to leave, the museum will open in a few hours, and the staff will start to work one after another.Ouroboros looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar lover in front of him reluctantly, even if he wanted to hug and say goodbye.He didn't want Bucky to hate him.

"Hey, goodbye then?" "Goodbye."

Facts have proved that there is a kind of tortured goblin in this world called fate.Anyone who is selected by this little demon is waiting to be tricked until he vomits blood.For example, the Ouroboros who had just separated was stopped by a man before he walked a few steps out of the memorial hall.

This man has brown hair and a pair of gray-blue eyes.He looks good, but looks a little silly.No, not the mentally handicapped ones, but the ignorant ones with low EQ.

He was wearing a long beige trench coat over a cheap suit with a dark tie completely reversed.

"James Layton? I need your help with something." The man said, and put his finger on the forehead of ouroboros involuntarily.The next second, they went to another place——

A dilapidated motel, in which there are two strange men with constipated faces, and a furious Bucky.
