tech killer

July [-], [-].

***

He seems to have forgotten something.

After getting up in the morning, the hairstyle that he had specially arranged was already disheveled. The man was pointed at his head by a dozen guns around him. There were various wounds and bloodstains on his body, and they gradually healed at an extremely fast speed.The hand that was still human was twisted behind his back, and some special equipment was installed on the other metal arm, which made his left arm of the extremely lethal weapon have to be quiet.

His eyes were a little dazed, hanging on the ground of the helicopter, and various images in his mind passed quickly.

The pain that was already used to radiating from the inside of the body suddenly became more severe.The mechanical arm controlled by the equipment trembled uncontrollably, attracting the vigilance of a group of HYDRA people. Those muzzles that had fallen were aimed at his head again, and several voices shouted at him at the same time: "Do not move!"

He didn't want to move.He was just... thinking.

who am I?

Bucky.I remember the name.

Who is Bucky?

do not know.

Who am I then?

……forgotten.but elsa...

Who is Elsa?

Elsa...who is it?

The name is so familiar, so familiar.

But he couldn't remember.

A few traces of struggle flashed in those green eyes, and finally, they fell silent.

Crossbones has been watching him with interest. Although he doesn't know what happened before, it is obvious that their Hydra's precious property will definitely not be lost at this time.

He was courageous and confident that the Winter Soldier would not hurt him at this time, so he waved his hand to make those vigilant Hydra agents back a few steps and make room for him.

Crossbones half-bent, tugging at his short cropped brown hair, bringing his face up to meet his own eyes.It seemed that even if their Winter Soldier was in a mess, he was also calm.

"HailHydra!" Crossbones looked at the pair of cold green eyes, slightly raised the corner of one side of his lips, and uttered their slogan clearly.

The voices of those agents who also came from Hydra were very firm: "HailHydra!"

After their excitement, the Winter Soldier uttered the most important words.

"Hail Hydra," he said.

The helicopter was still flying at high speed, and it wasn't until the agents sent the Fiend to a special room that they breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, although he sometimes beat him up, but at that time it was all training, and the Winter Soldier was also under the strict control of Hydra. Unlike this time, during the [-] days of his disappearance, anything could happen.

Crossbones didn't pay much attention.He'd spent far more time with the Winter Soldier than with the cubs.It was obviously wrong to see him for the first time today, that was Bucky Barnes, but now, it was also very obvious.

He's also Hydra's Winter Soldier, through no fault of his own.

Of course, the overhaul of the weapon is necessary, after all, this guy's situation is not right this time.The combat power was inexplicably restricted, and he even started to think.

Tsk, the Winter Soldier who just got out of the cryogenic state is so foolish, thinking that he is fighting for the world and saving those who are in water and fire.Little did he know that he himself was the culprit.

He looked at the Winter Soldier sitting quietly on the ground in the glass compartment, and raised his chin at the late Boyd Blairs: "What's going on?"

The person in charge of the base directly gave him the communicator in his hand, and Crossbones had no choice but to go out to answer the phone.

On the other end of the line is his immediate boss, Alexander Pierce: "Successful recovery?"

"Yes, the mission went well," Crossbones looked respectful, "no trace was left."

"Really?" Pierce sneered over there, "The bombs didn't explode, leaving so much evidence in the open, and told me that the mission went well without leaving any traces?"

Crossbones blinked, a little in disbelief of his ears.

So many bombs...one didn't explode?

He didn't dare to tell Pierce directly, he could only obediently listen to the training, and then accepted the task, and was about to return to the previous place as SHIELD.

After hanging up the phone, Crossbones just felt a little toothache.

"Tsk, interesting."

The communication didn't take too long, and when he returned to that room, the check was still going on over and over again.He handed over the task to Boyd Blairs, and before leaving the room, he paused and turned around: "Hi?"

All eyes were on him, but not the Winter Soldier.

He raised his eyebrows: "What secret do you have over there?"

no respond.

He clicked his tongue again.Reasonably, if the Winter Soldier knows how to respond to him, it is probably time to re-brainwash or re-freeze.

With a smart wave of his hand, Crossbones returned to Boyd Blairs.

In the end, the inspection results were very unsatisfactory.

Compared with Hydra, and even their precious possession, Boyd is still young.He certainly wasn't involved in the Winter Soldier's plans, not even the actual activation orders.However, there are not many other things in the No.13 base. The equipment and equipment must be sufficient, and of course there are brainwashing machines and so on.

If there is no solution in the end, probably only re-brainwashing.

But this is a bad idea.

Boyd looked at the answers on the report that he couldn't figure out for the time being, and stood in front of the Winter Soldier: "Soldier, welcome back."

The Winter Soldier turned his gaze to his face.

Although he often dealt with this guy, Boyd was still frightened by his aura for a second.He coughed dryly: "Mission report, [-], April, [-]th."

The tall, silent man was there recalling a moment, summing up his mission in simple words.

Boyd doesn't know what Pierce asked him to do, he just wants to find something wrong with the Winter Soldier's narrative, but there has been no entry point.

At that time, in order to prevent the surprise, there was no one to respond, the Winter Soldier was injured and lost his means of transportation, and because of the encirclement of the enemy, he could not go to the original meeting place as planned, and finally ended up in that unexpected town by accident.

The location of that town has been determined, but his memory has ended at the border of that town.

Boyd Blairs couldn't find any leads.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the precious weapon in front of him that needed to be remodeled, angrily asking people to prepare a brainwashing machine.

For a moment, the room was empty again.

The Winter Soldier leaned back against the glass wall and sat down slowly.

In fact, he remembered a face.

Before he passed out, he saw the Maiden in the Moonlight.The young girl was bathed in the moonlight, her black clothes almost melted into the night, only her face was clear and moving.

Obviously he initially regarded her as an enemy.But at this moment, once he thought of her, he felt warm in his heart.

It is the first time in Hydra for so many years.

Since it has nothing to do with the mission, Bucky thought, then she is my secret.

A secret that is not willing to share with others, that belongs to me alone.

The Winter Soldier had grown accustomed to the pain during his limited waking time.Every wake up is a task.Or assassination, or nurturing newcomers, or other things that have to be desperate.The transformed him has long been used to obedience, he let those people push him on the machine that always brought the most pain without any resistance, bit the shackle obediently, and then was restrained in place.

Although he was used to it in his mind, his instinct made his body feel the pain spontaneously.His body heaved uncontrollably, and he watched as the machine was about to wreak havoc on him.

A howl sounded.

Those familiar or unfamiliar broken pictures kept flashing in his mind.

Some are himself, some are his parents, some are his best friend, and some are, a grey-haired girl.

Those scenes, whether they were smiling or acting coquettishly, or the little Aojiao deliberately playing tricks, all dissipated in his mind.

The last memory is the sweet kiss on his face from the girl who ate milk candy.

The smell of toffee was still vaguely lingering in the nostrils, and finally gradually died down with the roar, leaving no trace.

Boyd clapped his hands in satisfaction, waiting for the return of their Winter Soldier.

Those green eyes opened again, and what he saw was a white coat with a distorted smile: "Welcome back, soldier."

"—please tell me."

***

As a precious treasure with extremely impressive combat effectiveness of Hydra, the Winter Soldier is not permanently stationed at No. 13 base.

Most of the time, he has to complete various tasks for Pierce. Even if he doesn't do tasks, he will go to the place where newcomers are trained to be a barely competent partner.

Anyway, after Boyd finished the overhaul, replenished the positioning chip and other equipment, and repaired the high-tech robotic arm again, he was urged by Pierce to send the Winter Soldier there.It didn't take long for that soldier to complete a few more arduous missions, which were excellent and contributed to the future of Hydra.

But the good times didn't last long, Boyd Blairs' new weapon hadn't been designed yet, and the Winter Soldier was sent back again.

Boyd was very anxious: "What's wrong this time? What didn't suit him?!"

Of course, he dared to say that only in front of other people in charge.If he had said this to Crossbones, he would have been talked to by Pierce in no time.

The one who transported the Winter Soldier back had the same status as Crossbones, and was not responsible for the same things, but he was also the one who usually hangs out in S.H.I.E.L.D.He watched his subordinates bring the property into the house, and pouted: "Come back for an inspection. Pierce's preliminary preparations are complete, and he should be frozen. By the way, do you know? S.H.I.E.L.D. found another old popsicle .”

Boyd was quite interested: "Why? Same as ours?"

The person in charge is also a gossip, with a wretched smile: "Not only that, Captain America, you know?"

Boyd paused and nodded slowly.

Tsk, although it is now serving Hydra, who hasn't read Captain America's cartoons when they were young?That is to say, when you grow up, you have different ideas...or you can't agree on interests.

The person in charge stretched out a hand and waved his index finger in front of his eyes: "Captain America is alive. It's been a while, and it's still a secret in S.H.I.E.L.D. I just found out."

The old Boyd almost jumped up: "What, what? Captain——"

"Shhhhhhhh——" the other party knocked him on the head hard, "I'll share a gossip with you, why are you like this? Could it be that you are still his little fan?"

"What the hell," Boyd slammed his hand off, "I didn't expect it. Speaking of which, Pierce said that he would send me some material to speed up research during this time. Could it be that he can send Captain America to Come?"

"That's not enough, the baby of S.H.I.E.L.D. is as precious as his father, and the hero of World War II," the person in charge shrugged, "Pierce can't get past Nick Fury and get him out, the research on serum and winter Soldiers and those cloning bodies are not worth exposing for Captain America. As for what Pierce will send, I don’t know, I am not responsible for this.”

Boyd said dryly, and sent away the person in charge who came to deliver the property.

Those at the base over there have started testing the Winter Soldier again.

Compared with when he walked from here, he has a lot more wounds on his body.However, his metabolism is fast, and only the superficial wound is estimated to heal in two days.

He was still silent as usual, Boyd checked the report, randomly assigned someone to be in charge, and went to work on his own design, until a few days later, someone notified him to deliver the goods.

After he approved the final inspection on the front foot, he was ready to freeze, and then he received the news that the goods had arrived.

What he got this time is really a big gift.The kind that can scare people to death.

Super super super super superman!

From toothaches to headaches, Boyd now thinks he's going bald.

What happened next was beyond his expectation.

The intruder who didn't know how to get into the base with a high level of secrecy completed the attack without alarming them at all.

For a split second, the fear of death made him hold on to the Winter Soldier until he was carried out of the hall.

Even though he was holding his breath, Boyd was rendered unconscious by the anesthesia.He ordered the Winter Soldier to lead him to turn left and right, to the medicine depot, and took an injection for himself to complete the intravenous injection.

His life safety was guaranteed, and Boyd's tiny loyalty began to clamor.

He coughed dryly, his eyes wandering: "You can go and eliminate the intruders."

The Winter Soldier frowned.He seemed to want to express something, but his previous habits made him continue to do the task in silence.

This task can be said to be very simple.

He saw that there was only one intruder.

The Winter Soldier thought for a while. He found a dagger in the warehouse, took the gun that was pinned to his trousers, and returned to the hall.

His steps are steady, step by step, neither rush nor slow.

The original smoke in the hall has cleared.

His eyesight was very good, and he saw two people standing on the console.Among them, the task object originally entrusted to "prevent him from attacking" has already walked out of that cage.

The requirement of this task object is only to prevent attacks, not to eliminate them.

The metal armor on the mechanical arm opens and closes, which is very beautiful and powerful.With his left arm, he threw the man who was trying to block the intruder into the distance, while his right hand stretched out, grabbed the intruder who was limp on the ground by the throat, and lifted her up.

The intruder was supposed to be a woman, but that didn't matter.

There was no trace of popularity in his voice, even the question had a hint of affirmation: "Who are you?"

no answer.

He watched the man struggling in his palm, like a fish that couldn't make a splash.

The intruder didn't make a sound, but just stared at him with those clear amber eyes, and he felt familiar for a moment.

...I may have seen her.Maybe in which mission, I can't remember.

He looked at the teardrops falling from the corners of the intruder's eyes, and for a moment he had the urge to wipe them away for her.

He seemed to have promised someone that he would not let her cry, but who was that?

The sudden attack of the machine interrupted his thoughts.

He activated the mechanical arm and smashed the raiding machine to pieces, only to finally see the intruder's face clearly.

She was wearing a somewhat ridiculous helmet that covered all her hair, and her whole body was pitch black, with only one face exposed.But at this moment, there were wounds and bloodstains on that originally white and delicate cheek, and a little dust, mixed with sweat and tears, making him very embarrassed.

But a broken picture suddenly flashed in his mind.

It was a young, grey-haired girl with a big smile.

In an instant, overlap with reality.

In the next second, severe pain came from the nerves connecting the mechanical arm to the brain. He didn't even know what he was doing, and the dagger in his hand pierced the intruder's chest.

"Mission accomplished." As if talking to himself, the words were so soft that they could hardly be heard.

Blood spattered on his fingertips. Enduring the pain from his brain, he left the hall with steady steps.

The pain intensified, and he, who should have been used to it, lost consciousness at this moment.It wasn't until the roar came that he was awakened from the trance by the sound, and then he opened his eyes wide and quickly returned to the hall where everything happened.

It was completely destroyed there, and some hydra that had just been unconscious also came to life.The Winter Soldier didn't pay attention to those. He looked at the large pool of blood on the console and the broken skylight, and opened his mouth.

"Ai..."

……what exactly is it?It's so familiar, but I can't remember it.

As if he finally regained his sanity, he returned to the room where he had been checked before, dug out various reports about himself, and left this place.

This is not what he wanted, and he seemed to realize it.

The Winter Soldier, who was said to be the precious property of Hydra, took advantage of the chaos, carried a bag, and left the forest wearing loose clothes that were easy to check.

Even when he reached the edge of the forest, he saw a flash of light in the sky.

With very good eyesight, he saw a golden-red shadow flying at high speed, but for him, it was more important to leave.

He has more important things to do.

***

Wearing a peaked cap to cover his face, a tall and strong man who blended in with ordinary society rushed to this familiar but unfamiliar town.

The brim of the peaked cap was pulled down so low that the face could not be seen at all except for the stubbled chin.

He stood between the forest and the small town, looking at the pile of shriveled corn, the corners of his lips moved.

It took him more than three hours to find a cave that had no trace of life.

The man dropped the backpack casually, his gloved hand tremblingly touched the smooth inner wall of the cave, and something flashed through his mind.

This cave is also so familiar.

There is a lively girl with messy gray hair. The clothes she makes are so ugly that antiques can’t even give good reviews against her will, but in order to take care of her mood, she has to pretend to be happy when she wears them, so I change them every chance I get. , of course, the mind is still there;

There was a naughty girl with gray hair trimmed, she only made potato soup at first, she liked soup but didn’t want to eat potatoes, so she threw those into his bowl confidently, she liked fish soup but didn’t want to handle fish, sneaking And to make trouble for the man who packs the fish;

There was a tsundere girl with slightly long gray hair that was in the way, after getting the red star hair rope, her cheeks became more rosy when she smiled, and the man next to her almost blush;

There was a shy girl with gray hair that could be tied into a short ponytail, wearing a cheap skirt, circling happily, and pounced on the man to beg for a kiss.

He stared at his trembling hands, followed the memories he gradually remembered, and walked under a tree.Digging in the dirt with the metal arms that were weapons.

The remaining four caramels were rotten, but the outer plastic packaging was still intact, except that it was full of dirt, and there was no change.

He put the candy wrapper that represented memories close to his eyes, the smell of spoiled milk lingered in his nose, and he remembered the trouble with that Cinderella.

She wants candy, but he doesn't give it.

He also acts like a child, secretly burying the candy in a secret place to get angry with the real child.

The candy was rotten, and she didn't wait around.

No, she came to him.

How much did that innocent girl who grew up in the forest suffer to appear in Hydra's base?She is for him.He had always known that Elsa was a stubborn person.She was afraid of being alone all the time, and she was afraid of being abandoned by someone she cherished again.The only reason she was there was him.

But what did he do?

The man took off his peaked cap and leaned against the tree, letting the harsh sunlight shine on his face.

He closed his eyes, and some of the broken memories in his mind began to surface again.

***

who am I?

...I remember a name, I'm Bucky.

Who is Bucky?

Bucky is me.

Who is Elsa?

Elsa is my... most cherished girl.

who am I?

I am, Elsa's Bucky.
