The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Does Stark hate Captain America? In fact, he can't say whether it can really be called hatred. After all, "hating" a World War II veteran who had nothing to do with him is a naive thing that is too naive to say.Maybe it's just an immature little emotion of a wayward child, Stark has always felt so, you know, Howard's praise of Steve in front of his son has already made Stark roll his eyes enough, there is emotion normal.

But he probably didn't really hate Steve, at least when he saw the real Captain America standing in front of him as an adult, Stark was shocked but not disgusted.Seriously, Steve is a likable blond boy, and even though he's from Howard's generation, he's not bad, especially when he's on your side against a common enemy, Stark I feel like they are a natural partner.

Of course, this feeling must not be known to Steve himself.

Most of the time, Stark seemed indifferent. Except for the issue of Ma Linglong, everyone could see that he really cared a lot, and other people or things, he always laughed or laughed. A disdainful attitude masks the real needs of the heart.

So, Stark has always had quite mixed feelings about his father, and like many problem children, he has a problem parent.Howard completely ignored his feelings about his son's repressive education and enthusiasm for work, which directly led to the tense antagonism between father and son that could not be relieved until Howard's death.

But Howard's death is not a relief for Stark. Although he behaved indifferently, a bad relationship does not mean that he has no feelings for his father. Stark is an awkward boy who is full of emotions but doesn't know how to express them.He's been looking for his father's approval since he was a child, but he never gets the response he needs, so Stark can't be sure that Howard really loves him, even though he has tried his best to make his excellence obvious to all.

Stark's disgusted attitude towards his father can actually be called a guilty conscience. He actually really wants to get his father's attention, no matter what it is.

He attributes the source of all this unhappiness to Captain America, and he firmly believes that Captain America has taken something like fatherly love, even though it sounds ridiculous and very childish.I have to admit that Stark's feelings for Captain America are actually very complicated, because he still feels proud of Steve's approval.

Stark has been anxious about this for a long time. He doesn't want himself to really worship Captain America, but Steve's behavior always affects his judgment subtly, probably because Howard instilled in Stark The sequelae caused by too many heroic deeds of Captain America.

It wasn't until Stark accidentally discovered the old image left by his father that he realized that his father loved him and always regarded him as the pride of the family.When Stark saw that Howard bet on him the energy equation of studying the Cosmic Cube, Stark finally reached a spiritual reconciliation with his long-dead father.

During that time, Stark wanted to let the world know that he was his father's good baby.

However, a knot was untied, and Stark fell into another round of regret. Since he misunderstood Howard's feelings, Stark slowly began to realize that he had not been able to tell his parents before they passed away. "I love you", he said these three words to every girl on the bed, but he never said it to his parents even once.And he couldn't make up for this matter anyway, so Stark attributed all the responsibility to himself.

If Ma Linglong hadn't enlightened him and always brought him comfort and happiness, Stark might have made that regret grow stronger.

For the current Stark, he still hopes to put his family first, but Ma Linglong has given him a great sense of security so that he can devote himself to his career.Therefore, the Avengers, saving the world, and helping others are Stark's future plans. From the moment he got married, he hoped that he could do well, or better, and be more perfect than Captain America. Subconsciously acknowledge Steve's talent.

In fact, Stark doesn't think Steve is really invulnerable, he has the right to make mistakes, he can't always be right, so Stark went to stop Steve, stop him from going wrong, just like Steve The husband once stopped Stark from doing that.

But Steve's stubbornness disappointed him. Stark is a businessman. He doesn't like to negotiate with the government, but he knows it well.So Stark weighed the pros and cons, made compromises, and in order to protect the entire team, he made a regression that was completely inconsistent with his own personality.

At least Stark thinks so, he really wants to protect everyone and fight for everyone's rights.

Stark regards the Avengers as a big family, and as a member of the family, he can even be regarded as a member of the parents. Stark feels that he is qualified to judge right from wrong.

What makes Stark happy is that Steve probably didn't make a mistake, he just didn't have time to explain. It can also be said that he originally planned to explain, but Stark didn't understand, which caused a misunderstanding.So, when he finds out that Steve's behavior should be correct, or he is correct, Stark is relieved.He's excited that there isn't antagonism between them, that they can still get back together and fight crime like they used to.

Stark is very grateful to Natasha for giving him that important message in time. Although Natasha let Steve go, Stark only complained a few words.He traveled to Siberia with apology and sincerity, and even a smile, because he was convinced that he had misunderstood his friend, that Stark wanted to correct his mistakes, and he wanted to continue to do what was right.

Stark appeared in front of Steve again as a friend, and of course Bucky was beside him. They were very wary at first, but when Stark explained his intentions, Steve only took a few seconds He accepted him again, which made Stark very happy, and he thought this was a tacit understanding.

How cool is the tacit understanding between Iron Man and Captain America.

However, what Stark did not expect was that all of them did not expect that the three men who originally intended to expose the plot of the conspirators saw a past video in the middle of the abandoned factory, and the contents were fully recorded One of Bucky’s missions when he became the Winter Soldier seemed to be planned in advance. Every movement of Bucky, including his facial expressions, was captured clearly. base behavior.

The task of the Winter Soldier is of course to kill, and the victim is Stark's parents. The whole assassination process is quite cruel. Howard and Maria struggled in a pool of blood for a while before they really died.

At that moment, Steve seemed to understand everything. He had never been so clear-headed, and he finally understood the plotter's intentions.There are no other Winter Soldier here at all. All the experimental subjects who participated in the "Winter Soldier Project" back then are all dead, and the corpses are placed in the storage warehouse. The hole in the center of the head makes it impossible for them to stand up again.And Zemo has been here a long time ago, and he is not going to wake up the so-called "Winter Soldier" at all.

The video of Bucky's murder was his goal.

It took a long time for Zemo to plan this day. He tracked Steve, investigated Stark's past, deeply understood the personality and weaknesses of each of them, and used his position, as well as the information of S.H.I.E.L.D. With the Hydra information leaked by Natasha, Zemo learned a lot of revenge weights in his favor.

Steve didn't know whether the existence of this video was recorded by Hydra inadvertently back then, or it was deliberately kept for emergencies. Obviously it has come in handy today, and perhaps Hydra's high-level executives also had this Intend.The cause and effect of all this is already unknown. The only thing Steve understands is that Stark is very angry, and the anger makes him unable to stay awake, and it is impossible for Steve to have the opportunity to recall Stark's lack of reason. .

Because even Steve felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw the contents of the video, even though he knew in advance that it was Bucky who caused Howard's death, not to mention that Stark was the victim's relatives, and he was not a good person in the first place. people who control their emotions.

Steve felt very sorry, but he couldn't convey his apology to Stark smoothly, given that Stark seemed to want to kill Bucky, and Steve had to stop him.This is undoubtedly a move that made things worse. Steve knew that the relationship between him and Stark might break down, but he didn't care about it. Bucky was the murderer, but he had no choice. Steve believed that once Bucky remembered Whoever Howard is, he will hate himself even more than Stark.

"That's not the real him, Tony!" Steve stood between Bucky and Stark, and he pushed Bucky away from Stark to help him escape, "He's controlled by Hydra, he doesn't Know what he's doing!"

"Go away!" Stark yelled, he didn't even notice that Ma Linglong was watching from not far away.

But Steve noticed, and it made him even more nervous, he had just seen Ma Linglong raise his wand at Bucky, and with her affection for Stark, she definitely had reason to cast some serious spell.

Vision noticed a figure flashing past in the dark, and he guessed that it should be Zemo. He hid behind a solid iron gate, and evacuated the room when he saw someone outside.Vision didn't catch up immediately, he knew that T'Challa would take care of Zemo, and the immediate trouble was the priority.

"Aren't you going to do something to stop him?" Vision asked.

As far as the current battle situation is concerned, it is clear that Stark occupies the upper peak, and Steve cannot deal any blows to Stark, but he can attack both of them at the same time.It can be seen that Stark has tried his best not to hurt Steve, and Bucky is just trying to escape from here, he doesn't want to confront Stark head-on.

Ma Linglong's cold voice sounded faintly: "Wait a little longer."

Stark's killing intent was really a rare emotion. This kind and bad boy should never have thought of killing people.At least since Ma Linglong knew him, even though Stark was cornered by Obadai at that time, he didn't really want to kill him, but now, he desperately shot at Bucky, using a violent pulse cannon Constantly releasing deadly energy, like a mad beast, reason is already superfluous to him.

"He's going to kill him," Vision said. "You want him to?"

"If that makes him happy." Ma Linglong replied, she took another deep breath, feeling Stark's painful emotions.

"He won't be happy because of it." Vision said, but he didn't immediately step forward to interrupt the battle on the opposite side. "When he calms down, he will regret it for the rest of his life."

"Then why are you still standing here?" Ma Linglong asked.

Vision was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Did I say that most people would behave like this in the face of the death of their loved ones?"

"You still retain Jarvis's loyalty to Stark, right, so you won't go against his wishes, even if his actions are likely to lead to bad consequences?" Ma Linglong said, and she tightened her hand wand.

"Maybe." Vision said, "I'm not sure, I just think that you can resolve their conflicts more easily than me."

"You go to the king of Wakanda, and the one named Zemo, leave it to me." Ma Linglong said firmly, "And, I hope you don't worry that James Barnes will be killed by Stark At most, he will suffer a little for this matter." Ma Linglong once cast a spell on Bucky, and anyone who has ill intentions towards him will not succeed, which naturally includes Stark's attack. However, because Stark and Ma Linglong are one, the effect of the spell is reduced.

Bucky was shot down by Stark's shells. He originally planned to escape from the patio. Bucky's metal arm was obviously twisted, and he almost fell into a pile of sharp steel bars just now.

"This can't change what happened in the past, Tony." Steve was a little embarrassed, he subconsciously threw the shield at Stark, but the shield was bounced far away, "Believe me, Bucky didn't want to do that."

"I don't care," Stark said, exasperated. "He killed my mother."

The video on the computer was still scrolling, and Ma Linglong vaguely heard Howard's voice, as if he was praying, and then Maria's voice.Immediately afterwards, Stark attacked Bucky again, he successfully grabbed him, and tightened Bucky's neck, Stark took Bucky into the air, and Steve had to throw at Ma Linglong for help gaze.

Ma Linglong first smashed the computer that was playing the video, and then shot a spell at Stark's armor to force him to let go of his arm. Bucky tumbled from mid-air to the ground, his face flushed red.

"Linglong?" Stark was very surprised. He opened his mask, and the facial features occupied by grief and anger finally showed a trace of warmth, "Why are you here?"

With an apologetic tone, Ma Linglong still said calmly, "I'll stop you."

"What?" Stark looked at his wife in disbelief. "Don't tell me you knew that...you really knew?"

Despair once again made his stomach churn, Ma Linglong felt a little uncomfortable, Stark's emotions were too strong.

Steve saw that Ma Linglong's forehead was drenched with sweat, which was not a good sign: "Tony, this matter is very complicated, we should catch Zemo first, he is..."

Ma Linglong didn't give Steve a chance to continue, she shot an attack spell at him, Steve's words and his people were thrown far away.Bucky tries to help Steve, but is held in place by Ma Linglong's spell.

"Yes, I know." Ma Linglong said, she quickly approached Bucky, there was no trace of fear in the man's eyes, "I know what Bucky did to your parents, and mine, before anyone else .”

After a long time, Stark said intermittently: "I don't understand, why...you lied to me?"

Stark was in great pain, which directly caused Ma Linglong to feel uncomfortable too. She pressed the point of her wand against Bucky's neck, and said quickly, "Do you want to kill him?"

"Why lie to me, how can you..."

Ma Linglong took a deep breath: "Answer me, Stark." She stabilized Stark's mood a little with her speech magic, "Do you want him to die? If you say yes, I will kill him for you." killed him."

Stark opened his mouth halfway, he was a little at a loss, he was sure that he still loved the girl in front of him, but he couldn't accept that Ma Linglong would deceive him, so for a while, he didn't know how to answer.

What good would Bucky do if he was dead?

"Do you want him to die, Stark?" Ma Linglong repeated again and again, and she repeated it three times in a row. She was sure that Steve must have heard her question to Stark, so she turned up the volume Gao Gao, "Or, you haven't made up your mind yet, it doesn't matter, I will make the decision for you."

"No, Linglong, don't do that!" Steve's voice came from not far away, but he couldn't move.

"Let me kill him, as my compensation for concealing this matter." Ma Linglong looked at Stark and said coldly, "Then let's go home and I will tell you the whole truth."

Bucky closed his eyes, as if preparing for redemption calmly.

Time and air seem to freeze, so Stark can't feel the pain of the body and the cold temperature, it must be so, he stared at his wife, the girl is so beautiful.Stark would never be able to hate her as much as he hated Steve, and Ma Linglong could always bring him the best hope, even now, even in this desperate moment.

Ma Linglong felt that Stark's heart was a little calmer, and she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"No." Stark said, "No, I don't need you to make amends, you..." He didn't know how to express it, he really hated Bucky before that, he even really wanted to be in A big hole exploded in Bucky's forehead.

"I understand." Ma Linglong said, she glanced back at Steve, and then said to Stark, "After finishing what you originally planned to do here, I will wait for you at home, and you will get you All the answers you want."

Stark didn't respond, he just looked at her closely.

"I'm sorry." Ma Linglong said, maybe she should kiss the man's pale lips immediately, her kiss always makes Stark happy, but Ma Linglong is not sure whether Stark wants to kiss herself at this time , "I have to take him out of here, I want to remind him of everything."

"Give me a kiss," Stark said, his voice choked and hoarse, "I just want this now."
