infinite hero

But in fact, no matter what Tony's decision is, during their discussion, Fury has already encountered an accident-

Because during a recent sea rescue operation, the team led by Steve and Natasha discovered that the troubled S.H.I.E.L.D. ship was smuggling weapons.This is tantamount to stealing from law enforcement agencies, and Fury has no idea about it.

Then came the problem Sid was talking about.Fury tried to find out who was in command of the ship, only to discover that there were files held in his name that he couldn't even access himself.

Isn't this a hell of a thing?

Fury had been in the business for decades, starting as an agent at first, and was so famous that when everyone said "the agent," he could only mean him.He's been involved in no less than a thousand covert operations, and he knows the situation all too well—

Someone in S.H.I.E.L.D. secretly emptied his power, and he didn't know until this time!

Fury realized that he had set the fuse of a ticking time bomb on fire.

He hit a wall on unlocking the data, and those who hide in the dark cannot fail to find out.In other words, he discovered their secret, and he would be silenced soon!

So, here comes the question - now who else can he trust to help him escape this crisis?In addition, those people have been able to hide from him, so how many people in S.H.I.E.L.D. are loyal?

While pondering these questions, Fury has taken swift action.Sitting still and waiting to die was undoubtedly the worst solution. He quickly drove away from the Tricurved Wing Building of SHIELD Headquarters, quite preoccupied.And as he turned the corner from the Arlington Memorial Bridge toward Washington Boulevard, Sid picked up the phone.

"I'm sorry, Chief," Sid called Fury in the aftermath of the Extremis-induced human explosion. "I feel I have the right to remain silent on those sources." He didn't say how he got the information. It was himself, "You know, in this day and age, information is money."

In the past, Fury would probably still believe this completely commercial speech.But after the battle in New York, he didn't believe a dime. "Just tell it straight," he said a little annoyed, "to whom will you tell those sources?"

Sid didn't answer right away.He can see Fury and the background of the trunk of the car behind him, and captures that most of the other's unhappiness is not about him. "The time is wrong." He explained, and added: "If you absolutely need an answer, you can try asking Tony."

Fury snorted.Looking for Tony?Iron Man almost killed him twice because of his younger brother, what can he ask from that younger brother's mouth?The possibility is not as great as pulling out the latest technology of Mark Armor! "Anyway, thanks for calling me specifically."

Then he cut off the video chat.Whatever secrets Sid had, there was less urgency now than what he had just discovered.Instead of wasting time by continuing to entangle in some issues that are destined to have no results, he might as well find some helpers quickly.

Fury's first thought was Hill.He immediately dialed the phone and asked the other party to make emergency preparations quickly.But before the call was connected, he found that he had fallen into a faintly shrinking encirclement——

The on-board map showed that the intersection he was driving to was about to be jammed.This matter is quite normal in Washington, but it is absolutely not normal at this time!

Fury slammed the steering wheel and sprinted into the nearest side turnoff.Then his premonition of crisis proved to be true—many vehicles on the map followed his movements and turned in an instant, and there were even patrolmen inside—

wtf!

Fury cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to relax at all.He realized that his previous assumptions were too naive—daring to blatantly chase him down near the Pentagon, those who wanted to put him to death had infiltrated not only S.H.I.E.L.D., but also the House of Representatives, the government, and the army!

So, for a short while, Fury had one of the most thrilling car chases of his life.The reason why it was a short period of time was because the opponent sent out a sniper with fierce firepower!

Fury, who was hit in the arm by shrapnel when the car overturned, didn't know whether to use a sniper or a killer to describe the people he saw—

The guy carried a small mortar on his shoulders, and he was very professional and accurate in terms of posture and hit rate.The recoil of the barrel was so great when it was fired, and the man barely moved when he pulled the trigger!

What the hell he was... When he saw the guy's black mask and silver mechanical arms in the blood, Fury finally realized that he had encountered the legendary ghost killer, the Winter Soldier.

If it falls into the other party's hands, it will be the end, Fury told himself, trying to reach the laser cutting gun from the back seat with all his strength.So when the Winter Soldier, who thought he had a chance of winning, walked to the car, he was greeted only by a big hole in the road.

Ran?

The Winter Soldier frowned, then calmed down again.This is the first time in his career; however, there is no second time!

So when Tony thought it was time to confirm the progress of the situation before making a decision, what he found was the news that Fury was seriously injured and missing, and he couldn't help staring. "How long has it been?" He asked in disbelief.

"It means that Fury's opponent is difficult to deal with." Sid analyzed calmly.But to be honest, he also felt that it was too fast.No matter who Fury's opponents are, they have undoubtedly invaded the entire American ruling class-hunting Fury with great fanfare in the downtown area of ​​​​the capital.

Even Tony sensed a threat.To be fair, Fury at least has a heart for keeping the world safe rather than trying to make himself more powerful and richer, even in ways that may not be acceptable.Of course he wouldn't share the same hatred with Fury, but he thought that those who dared to do such a thing were inherently more vicious than Fury.

"If you don't know, it's fine," Tony stared at Sid as he said this.

Sid finished the second half of the sentence clearly. "But this matter has to be taken care of now."

"So what the hell are you doing with that call?" Tony couldn't help complaining.Don't they have enough to do?And having said that, he doesn't want to be the hero who saved Fury or S.H.I.E.L.D.... just thinking about it makes me pimples all over!

Sid pretended to think about it seriously. "In order to avoid possible, greater trouble?"

Tony rolled his eyes. "You make sense every time!" He snorted, and soon became serious again: "The most urgent thing is to find out where Fury went."

"With a killer staring at him, I don't think there are many places he can go." Sid pondered.

The two exchanged a look, and both got the same answer as themselves from the other's eyes - the most reliable person in the world?Definitely Captain America, Steve Rogers!

In the evening, Steve walked home slowly with his jacket and some vegetables.

Today is a thrilling day for both Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.Fury personally staged a life-and-death speed, and everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. knows the news that Fury has absconded.

And Steve didn't notice it at all.He and Fury had a falling out when it was discovered that S.H.I.E.L.D. was building three new Helicarriers.Therefore, he has been at home for several days, and the most thoughtful thing is what new job is suitable for him.

One can imagine Steve's reaction when he came home and found someone else's breath in the house.In fact, he thought it was a thief (still thinking about which thief stole his house so blindly, you must know that his most valuable property is probably the shield), and then found out that it was Fury, or a seriously injured Fury .In the end, the seriously injured Fury wrote a note telling him that his house was bugged.

What happened again?

Steve was bewildered.In the case of communicating with pen and paper, it is obviously impossible for Fury to explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly.He only gave Steve a storage disk and asked Steve to keep it safe.

After his final showdown with Fury, Steve decided he should leave S.H.I.E.L.D. because they didn't see eye to eye.But on the other hand, he couldn't refuse the request of a seriously injured person.And just as he was hesitating, a silver light flashed.Fury slipped and fell to the ground without humming.

There is no doubt that the person who did this could only be the Winter Soldier who came after him.He was pretty sure he hit Fury in the left chest this time, and Fury would die.

As soon as he got the blow, he wanted to leave immediately, but the sudden wind behind him stopped him——

He turned his head sharply and caught it firmly, only to realize that there was a shield in his hand.

"Who are you?" At this time, Steve had already jumped from his window to the roof of the next building, shouting loudly from a distance of tens of meters.

The Winter Soldier never wastes his life picking up conversations, and he doesn't even know this guy.So his answer was, he threw the shield back with his mechanical arm, jumped himself, and jumped off the tall building.

The whole process didn't take more than ten seconds, and the other party was backlit, and Steve couldn't even see the killer's face clearly.When he caught the shield, he staggered back two steps, raised his head again and the opponent disappeared.

This guy is really weird, look at that arm... Steve thought.What's even more strange is that he didn't see the other person's face, nor heard the other person's voice. Why did he still have a feeling of deja vu?

But Steve immediately remembered that Fury was still in his room, dead or alive.So he temporarily let go of this doubt, rushed back quickly, and sent Fu Rui to the hospital.

Neither Steve nor the Winter Soldier realized there was a third person present when they confronted—

The invisible Sid has arrived, hovering above, looking at the people below.The Winter Soldier was his target, so of course he read his soul.But the result shocked him——

The Winter Soldier, formerly known as Bucky Barnes, is Steve's childhood friend!

They were all members of the Roaring Commandos in World War II, and Bucky fell into a valley during an operation; Steve and other teammates searched for nothing, and they could only think that Bucky had died.

But in fact, Bucky was taken away by Hydra and used as the experimental subject of Hydra scientists, and that's how the silver mechanical arm came about.In order to make Bucky better obey Hydra's command, Hydra frequently brainwashes Bucky!

This proves that Hydra is cunning, cruel, and irredeemable.

But compared to these, Sid's attention was inevitably attracted by another aspect——

Most of the memories that the Winter Soldier has been washed away are assassinations.In addition to those who have been rumored to have been killed by the Winter Soldier, there are many accidents that were originally considered accidents, including the car accident that killed Howard Stark!

Sid was furious.If he just came here with the idea of ​​avoiding bigger troubles before, everything has changed now.Dare to murder his father, Hydra must pay a heavy price for this!

**

Fury was quickly taken to Central Hospital.The bullet struck the edge of his heart, leaving him in critical condition.Natasha heard the news and stood outside the operating room with Steve.

After half an hour of emergency rescue, Fury died.But this is actually Fury's deceitful strategy: he injected a certain amount of tetrodotoxin and colluded with medical staff to cause the appearance of suspended animation.The less people know about this plan, the better, so both Steve and Natasha were kept in the dark.

People die, and things seem to be over, but depressed Steve returns home, only to find that this is just the beginning - but after two hours away, his home has become a messy post-war scene!

Steve subconsciously clenched a small hard object in his pocket.Those people were undoubtedly looking for something, most likely the memory stick Fury handed him.He slipped it in his pocket then, and now it looks like a blessing in disguise.

But in any case, as the last person to see Fury, he must leave here immediately, otherwise danger will find him!

There was no need to pack up, Steve grabbed the shield in the corner and wanted to leave.But when he bent down and turned around to stand up again, he found a row of letters that seemed to be condensed from water mist hanging in front of him——

"I knew you'd come back because you didn't take your shield."

Steve stepped back cautiously, without making a sound.It's too weird, he has always been very alert, it's impossible for someone to be so close to him, and he doesn't know it yet!

So what's going on here?Did he go to hell?

"In a sense, it is." The translucent mist bent and changed its shape.

Startled, Steve took another half step back, and put the shield in front of him, taking a defensive stance.The invisible guy can read his mind!

"Sorry, I forgot to explain in advance, I didn't make your house look like this." The letters changed again, "But I know who made it."

Steve calms down.He began to think about another question: Even if this invisible guy has no ill intentions towards him, is it really okay for them to stay here and continue communicating?

"I promise there will be no accidents until you leave here. Oh, you can talk too, those people won't find out."

"Who are you?" Steve straightened up.Just because he made a sound didn't mean he believed it, because he was ready, and he was ready to deal with any enemy who jumped out suddenly.

"No comment at the moment. Besides, I believe you are more concerned about other matters. And on those matters, I believe we will have the same position."

"What is it?" Steve asks, and then realizes he should ask another key: "Tell me what you know first?"

"Hydra is behind the murder of Fury, if that's what you want to know."

"What?" Steve was shocked.He imagined countless possibilities, but none of them were related to Hydra. "Haven't they been wiped out? Everyone told me so!"

"I could explain this to you, but it would take time. So to make a long story short, I'll tell you another key - that killer you saw earlier, nicknamed The Winter Soldier, whose real name is Bucky Barnes."

Steve almost jumped up.He was not dazzled by the news, but even more suspicious that someone was deliberately teasing him.First, Hydra, which has disappeared for decades, actually still exists, and then Bucky, who has been dead for 70 years, is still alive? "Without evidence, how can you make me believe you?"

"I can't give you evidence with water. If you really want to know, come to this place." The letters faded away and became a map.

Steve glanced over and saw that it was the address of an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.Appointing a meeting at a place like this is too much like a prelude to murder and robbery, right?

"You have to believe that if I was really malicious towards you, I wouldn't waste so much effort." The thin lines on the map turned into words again, "Captain, please trust me."

Then the mist disappeared like evaporation, without a trace.

Steve froze for half a second.The tone of the last sentence seems... Does that invisible guy know him?

A moment later, the warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

"Why haven't you come back yet?" A man in golden-red armor was walking around impatiently.

You don't need to look carefully to know that it is Tony Stark, the famous Iron Man; and there is a person leaning halfway on the brick surface near him, with his eyes closed, his chest heaving slightly, and he looks like he is asleep.

This, of course, is Sid.The two of them set off from New York to Washington together, and theoretically they could arrive at the same time.But Tony's goal was too big. In order to avoid alarming others, the two of them chose different routes and finally gathered in the suburbs.

This approach was originally just for insurance, but after discovering who the opponent is and what happened, it became very necessary——

Sid can keep his whereabouts completely undiscovered, so he went to Steve first, and then was lucky enough to witness the second half of the entire assassination process.This not only allowed him to figure out the identity of the Winter Soldier as originally planned, but also figured out another question that he had never thought of before——

The Hydra, which should have perished long ago, not only did not perish, but also manipulated and ordered the assassination of Howard!

So, while Steve rushed Fury to the hospital, Sid returned to the staging area and told Tony about the event.

Although they are two brothers, there is obviously a huge difference in the tolerance levels of Tony and Sid.If there is anything that can make them furious at the same time, it is probably the only one - Howard died unexpectedly, and they only now know it!

In fact, Tony, who always expressed his impatience with his father in front of outsiders, immediately wanted to find Hydra to fight for his life after knowing this.It didn't work out because Sid had expected this: before he left his foothold again, he set up a solid barrier of air around them, making sure Tony didn't slam his head out and throw his already large The troubles become bigger ones.

As a technical genius, Tony can certainly solve this dilemma.But he only brought a set of armor and no other auxiliary tools.It's hard for a clever woman to live without rice, so he had to wait impatiently for Sid to negotiate back like a trapped lion——

Rationally speaking, they should act secretly, so as to better eradicate the entire Hydra organization; but emotionally speaking, he does not want to wait for Steve or Natasha, but wants to catch the culprit , It’s not too much to fry a few times!Turning to ashes can't counteract his anger!

Fortunately, Sid reopened his eyes before Tony's patience completely wore off.

"How?" Tony asked immediately, utterly impatient. "When are they coming?"

"It's probably going to take Cap a while to think about it," Sid said, adding before Tony could growl, "but he's definitely coming!"

"I don't really care about that, actually," Tony said, his voice low but close to a growl, "I just want to know, who the hell planned that murder!"

"Calm down, Tony." Sid was quicker to calm down than Tony after the anger passed. "It has been nearly 20 years, and the manipulator behind the scenes may not be alive."

"Then let him have a taste of it!" Tony was so angry that he couldn't listen to anything at all. "No, it's them—this is definitely not something that one person can do!"

"Of course," Sid agreed, "the entire Hydra is responsible for this!"

Tony nodded sharply.Whatever Hydra was before and what it is now is destined for the future - if he doesn't take revenge, he won't be named Stark!

"We can do this." Sid said, analyzing step by step, "Start with S.H.I.E.L.D. No matter how deep they hide, their souls can't hide. Then, we will get more Clues, as to where they put Hydra's tentacles. In the end, there must be a root of HYDRA, a reason why they survived and continued to this day, and we must destroy it!"

Tony couldn't agree more. "Every one," he gritted his teeth, "every Hydra member is our enemy!"

"Maybe not all," Sid corrected the radicality in his words, "Hydra's brainwashing skills cannot be underestimated."

"You mean the Winter Soldier? Or Bucky Barnes?" Tony frowned. "Isn't that kind of forced brainwashing different from subtle brainwashing?"

Sid defaults.If being subtly brainwashed does not mean that one's own will is weak, then the need for forced brainwashing will undoubtedly prove one's invincibility.

Tony wanted to vent his anger at this moment, but he also knew that it would only make him appear too emotional and indiscriminate. "I think this issue probably requires the captain to worry about more." He said so, and then changed the topic to the original one: "Seriously, are you still planning to remove that damn barrier? Don't let me use violence !"

"No." Sid resolutely refused, and at the same time stood up from the half-collapsed window sill. "I've lost my father," he said softly, "I don't want to lose you again."

Don't you think I'm bound to lose?Half of Tony would love to say that.But at the same time, the other half of him prevents him from doing this—

If Sid had said that in your presence, would you have prevented him from taking great risks?

Nonsense, do you still need to ask?

After putting himself and others in this way, Tony's anger finally passed. "Sorry, Sid," he turned his head away, "I didn't mean to say that to you."

Sid shook his head.To make Tony take the initiative to apologize, he is probably the first and the last! "I see."

The simple answer made Tony glance at Sid.Then he gritted his teeth, took a step forward, pulled Sid's head off, and kissed it with an almost vicious motion.
