Miss Hydra [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

The man's fingers tightened inch by inch.

The warm skin under his hands is so close to the rise and fall of the bones.

There are many fragments in my mind, but these memories are very scattered. Occasionally, a thin and short blond young man appears, and occasionally heavy snow flashes in the sky, the red, white and blue shield flashes with metallic luster, and the brand-new military cap has Straight and wide brim...

He saw war, ice, blood, and night.

Like pearls scattered all over the place after the thread was torn off, he could only grab one or two, and the rest flashed by and leaked out through his fingers.

Something very strong emotion was crazily hitting the shackles in his brain.

But that obstacle was too powerful, and it didn't have any effect at all except to stir up one's mind into chaos and noise.

He saw a blurry figure in front of him, but couldn't make out anything, so he could only ask questions over and over again.

who the hellami?

who the hellami?

who the hellami?

……

Ollivander's body was lifted straight off the floor tiles.

Her slender neck was completely grasped by the metal palm, and her chin was stuck in his tiger's mouth. The whole person was forced to look up, part of her black hair was held together, and part of it was messy and drooping, dripping with water.

The suffocating feeling of lack of oxygen made her gasp for breath, and the body strengthened by the serum ensured that she would not be strangled to death for the time being, but if she did not resist, there would only be one result.

"сли... ва."

She breathed out the Russian word.

"слива."

However it was of no use.

Ollivander realized that the Winter Soldier's emotional ups and downs were more violent and sudden than she had imagined.

If this continues, she will really die, the man's state of consciousness has made it impossible for him to recognize who is in front of him.

"...желание (desire)."

The movement of retracting stagnated for a moment, and the next moment, a greater force erupted, and the black-haired girl coughed: "Cough... ржавчина (rusty)! семнадцать (seventeen)!"

"Weapons" are so dangerous, how is it possible that organizations don't have an emergency response to them?

The Winter Soldier released his fingers tremblingly, and Ollivander fell down, kneeling on the ground.

As if being hit by some heavy object, the brainwashing words set by the former Soviet Union made the Winter Soldier's face miserable.

He still struggled to attack her.

Ollivander couldn't help closing his eyes, and had to continue chanting: "рассвет (dawn)... печь (stove)..."

……

James Buchanan Barnes.

Brainwashed, commanded, treated as "it".

He has been deprived of his freedom for decades, and used as a killing machine to carry out cold-blooded killings that are inconsistent with his nature.

Ollivander suddenly recalled the scene when she saw the brainwashed Winter Soldier for the first time:

The soldiers in the green space were fully armed, rubber jaws were stuffed into the man's mouth, and strange electric shock brainwashing equipment was put on it. The electric current crackled and crackled, which was very terrifying.

At the moment when the brainwashing started, a deep furrow formed between the man's brows, his muscles tensed, and even the ugly scar at the junction of his metal arm and shoulder blade became more hideous.

No one knows how many dignitaries the Winter Soldier has assassinated, even he himself doesn't know, because he will be completely erased after each mission.

When the organization does not need to use him, it is frozen;

When you need him, thaw, kill, and freeze again.

He was the black shadow that frightened so many people in the years between World War II and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

However, Ollivander clearly knew that in essence, he had always been just that handsome, upright and loyal Brooklyn youth, upright, warm and moral.

Bucky's life has only a short period of happiness, and then, like his code name, there is only a long winter.

...like Victoria Ollivander once.

Therefore, Ollivander, who was only in his teens and had gained a firm foothold in the organization at the beginning, tried his best to make contacts, so that the top of the organization was the first to consider her to be responsible for the maintenance of "weapons".

Standing in front of a strong and dangerous weapon, a delicate and weak girl under age is dismantling and improving the metal arm. The contrast of this picture is sharp and strong.

She once thought that in this organization that cannot be escaped, they might be a little consolation in each other's helpless fate.

But he can't help himself, but he can't make mistakes.

now.

But she was going to be another pair of hands that dragged him into hell.

……

"девять (nine)..."

He also fell to his knees, his chest heaving violently.

"... доброта (kindness)"

Ollivander saw the pained look on his face.

"дом... no..."

She really couldn't continue, even if she didn't hold the red-covered notebook with a Soviet five-star (which contained the extremely confidential Winter Soldier brainwashing words), she is now like an executioner.

——She was also part of the organization.

The nine-headed serpent spread its stinking claws in the shadows.

Ollivander wondered what right she had to erase some of the memories the Winter Soldier had recovered.

She has no position to keep him.

The incomplete brainwashing words can't do the "cleaning" effect, Ollivander stopped continuing, and the man with emerald green eyes quickly came over, glanced at the smiling man not long ago, and asked him if her new earrings were okay Pretty brunette.

He finally realized who it was that he almost strangled just now.

But the one who read out the command that frightened him... was also her.

Both sides knew clearly that this glance might be the last.

The Winter Soldier turned around and was about to go through the window, so sharp and fast.

"...Bucky."

The half-turned black figure stopped at the window sill.

"You're Bucky." Ollivander pulled herself up little by little, the scar on her neck shocking, "James Buchanan Barnes. Sergeant Barnes. From Brooklyn. Captain America's last Loyal brother."

She spoke clearly and slowly, word by word.

On the bathroom screen, "Entertainment Weekly News"'s inexplicable rhetoric was stopped for some reason, as if the show was forcibly shut down by someone. There was not even the sound of water, except for Ollivander's voice, the whole bathroom was quiet. horrible.

Ollivander stared at the bathroom spout, not looking at him.

"Go and see the history of World War II, and go to the US team museum."

"Hidden better, the blood of the organization is still flowing in the dark."

"I hope you still remember the address I told you, it doesn't matter if you don't remember."

"... See you no more, слива."

Looking up again, the shower curtain fluttered, and the night outside the glass window filled the sky, and Bucky had disappeared.

……

For the sudden disappearance of the man with the metal arm, Bruce showed a little surprise.

"I thought he was more like your bodyguard, Victoria," he said.

Probably because of the status relationship, Bruce Wayne’s words at this moment are not as frivolous as they were when they first met. The way he holds a wine glass and speaks, all reflect his good upbringing and gentleman etiquette.

Indeed, without being a "Gotham Playboy", he is still a well-known entrepreneur with outstanding abilities and talents.

Ollivander was sitting at the other end not far from Bruce - the dining table in Wayne's house was rather short - and just shook his head slightly.

Her long hair was dry, and there was no longer any curly radians. The straight hair was loosely pulled up by her, and a strand fell on the side of her cheek, swaying as she shook her head.

Bruce Wayne found that from this angle, the girl's profile was too delicate, probably because of the mixed blood bonus, her facial features were soft and deep, especially suitable for backlighting angles.

"He's an individual," she said.

She wanted him to go far away, and it would be "he" instead of "it" and "Bucky" instead of "Winter Soldier" from now on.

Maybe it's hard, even after 20 years, even Ollivander herself is still not sure when the organization will find them-she won't even consider the option "the organization can't find them"-she can only hope I hope that the interval between these events can be dragged on for a little longer, a little longer.

During the conversation, Alfred brought up meals one by one.

The brunette sat, feeling slightly uncomfortable—it wasn't that she wasn't used to being served, it was just that she couldn't restrain her discomfort when the other party was an elder she respected.

In the previous life in the Ollivander Manor, due to the small number of people in the family, usually only she and Mr. Ollivander dined, and only house elves were served (Note 1). They use magic and never summon them. Appear—because a good house-elf won't let its master know they're there.

Speaking of which, her "non-aristocratic" habit was once ridiculed by Malfoy, a platinum noble who was also a pure-blooded family.

But now, perhaps feeling the discomfort that the girl concealed, Ah Fu was about to step back after serving the food.

"Maybe you'd like to talk to Alfred." Bruce said suddenly.

He noticed the girl's hesitation when she saw Ah Fu retreat, and also noticed that her table manners were surprisingly perfect, not like what a researcher needs to have (he has already ruled out the "doctor" as an option).

There are too many doubts about her, and she doesn't care about one more - he will always figure it out.

"Ah Fu, come and sit down."

The old butler turned around, wearing a three-piece suit meticulously: "A competent butler does not sit at the dining table, Master Bruce."

Bruce met Ollivander's gaze: "I don't think Victoria would mind, would she?"

"of course not."

……

"Mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

That being said, before the person on the other side could answer, Enoch had already set off fireworks.

The clown with unpainted paint is sitting in the cell, and the Arkham Asylum in the deep suburbs of Gotham City is silent, and an unknown undercurrent surges in this land that is not illuminated by the sun.

"Let's see, who is this?" The pale clown stared at the cigarette in his hand, and laughed loudly, "Another cute two-face (double-faced person)?"

Enoch's fingers holding the cigarette are stuck together like frog webs, and half of his body is blurred with flesh and blood. It looks like the once admirable "Bright Knight" and "Dark Knight" Batman's ally, today's super villain, "two-faced man" with schizophrenia - Harvey Dent.

"You know who Batman is."

Enoch heard his ridicule, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't hold on to it.

The clown raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly: "The cute double-faced man is looking for the cute Batman?"

"Well, well, what do you want to do?"

"Or, what does the organization behind you want to do?"
