The Third Winter Soldier

James Barnes fixed his eyes on the tall figure who was fighting with Lilith, and when half of the man's body was exposed to the light, he felt a bomb exploded in his brain open.In an instant, that vague memory suddenly became extremely clear.

Panther Base.

"Bucky, are you okay?" Steven walked up to him, "Tomorrow I need your help to rescue my partner trapped in the sea prison."

"I'm fine. I'm fine now. I should be able to help you, but," he nodded, hesitated for a while, and said, "After saving them, I... hope to return to the frozen state."

Steven didn't speak, and looked at him silently. This incident has been bothering Bucky since the battle with Tony. From his own point of view, he didn't want Bucky to return to the frozen state, but , From the perspective of a friend, he knows how much guilt and pain Bucky feels for killing Tony's parents while being controlled by Hydra. Perhaps, temporarily returning to the frozen state is the only way he can choose at present.

"I'm not who I was back then." James Barnes stared at him, "You know better than anyone that if I can't completely get rid of Hydra's control, as long as someone gets the password to control me, I will The same thing will happen again and again, because, in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, I am the best humanoid weapon in the world."

Steven finally nodded slowly.

However, neither he nor Steven thought that after rescuing the Avengers trapped in the sea prison, he wanted to go back to his hometown to take a look before freezing, but he heard familiar words on the street, and then...

James Barnes silently stared at the man who was completely forced into the light by Lilith. He was wearing a gray baseball cap, clothes that didn't look very clean, and a beard accumulated on his face. The Steven in his memory was very different, but he still recognized him at a glance.He couldn’t help whispering: “Steven…”

Lilith, who had just kicked Steven Rogers into the aperture, suddenly looked back at James Barnes, and she said doubtfully, "Steven Rogers? He is? Are you kidding me? The famous American Captain, is he such a messy person?"

Behind Lilith, Steven Rogers, who was forced to stand under the light, looked at her. It took him a long time to see that it was a thin girl standing barefoot on the ground.

Lilith turned to look at him with scrutiny in her eyes. After looking him up and down several times, she snorted softly, turned to the dark place again, and asked, "Hey, are you sure?"

Steven followed her gaze and looked towards the dark place outside the light circle. He looked in that direction uncertainly. Like Lilith, he also heard the voice of "Steven". The voice was so familiar, so familiar. He couldn't believe it, he called tentatively: "Bucky?"

The man in the dark didn't respond.

"Is that you, Bucky?" Steven asked again.

Lilith glanced at him and said, "There is no such person here."

Steven ignored Lilith, and strode towards the direction where the sound was made just now.

James Barnes jerked back.

Lilith reached out to stop Steven, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, which made her expressionless face look a little weird, "Wait, Steven Rogers?"

Steven looked down at her, nodded, and said, "Yes, I'm Steven Rogers."

"You are a wanted criminal now!" Lilith stared at him, with a hint of anxiety on his face.

When Steven heard this, he nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, judging from the official announcement, I am..." He wanted to bypass Lilith and immediately confirm that the person who refused to walk into the light in the dark was Not the Bucky he'd been looking for.

Lilith saw through the urgency in his eyes, and said lightly: "There, that guy, he can't run." She straightened her back and glanced at James *Bahn who was standing in the dark pointingly. "What are you doing here?"

"Look for someone!" Although Steven couldn't see the person in the dark, he stared there firmly, "I'm looking for it, James Buchanan Barnes."

Lilith narrowed her eyes, and slowly turned her head to look at James Barnes. She felt very speechless about her own stupidity in her heart.Captain America and his good friends, even kindergarten children know the story clearly, but she doesn't know the name of one of the protagonists!

James Barnes backed away slowly. When the vague memory became clear, the original clear memory made him embarrassed and embarrassing, especially the U disk hidden in Lilith's chest at this time, which made him unable to face it at this moment. steven.

"It's useless for you to run!" Lilith suddenly said coldly, walking towards him.

James Barnes' eyes fell on Steven, and he whispered hoarsely, "I won't, run away." As he spoke, he passed Lilith and walked towards the aperture...

Steven stood in the circle of light, quietly looking at his familiar face, and slowly appeared from the light, until the two stood face to face, he sighed and said: "I have to say, this time I'm looking for you to compare It took a lot of effort before! Bucky!" He paused, "Look at you, have you returned to normal?"

James Barnes looked back at him, with tangled emotions in his eyes. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Yes, it's recovered. It was just now."

Steven breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Natasha provided us with a safe house, now, let's go!"

"Wait!" Lilith, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly said.

The two turned their heads to look at Lilith who was pacing slowly and entered the range of the aperture.

Lilith glanced at Steven, and then at James Barnes, with her hands behind her back, and said slowly: "Captain America and his friends reunited at Nemo Manor late at night, it sounds like a very happy event. This touching bubble series has a perfect ending, but..." She looked at James Barnes with a half-smile, "Have you overlooked a very important question?"

"What's the problem?" Steven asked.

"Both of you are wanted criminals now, right?" Lilith asked.

When James Barnes heard this, his eyes showed vigilance, and he put his hand on Steven's arm to prevent him from speaking. The two looked at Lilith silently.

Lilith smiled, looked at James Barnes' alert expression, and said, "So, is the safe house really safe?"

"What do you mean?" James Barnes asked after a moment of silence.

"Oh, nothing interesting." Lilith smiled, "It's just a reminder."

After listening to Lilith's words, Steven had a thoughtful look in his eyes. He thought of the safe house Natasha had arranged for him. After Lilith's questioning, he couldn't help but think of the time when he was looking for Bucky. Arriving at the safe house, the tracking organization soon discovered that he didn't think much before, but when she said that, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Lilith.

Lilith looked at Steven, smiled gracefully and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Captain America."

Upon hearing this, James Barnes raised his eyes, showing displeasure, and looked at Lilith.
