When a superhero becomes a stickman

Adele looked at Barnes, concentrating all her energy on the subtitle above his head, hoping that the font of that line [James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes] could be changed, at least something useful would emerge Information, such as what he was thinking, or what he had experienced, but that line of words has never changed.

As for the subtitles on the fundus, it is limited to [Barnes hammering a nail, obviously such a job is not very suitable for a super soldier who is good at killing, but it is not difficult to forcefully combine the wooden blocks]

After it was over, it never moved again.

So, Adele huddled in a thick gray plush coat, resting her chin and watching the little stickman with the mechanical arm in front of her raise her hand, smash it down, raise her hand, smash it down...

Orz Barnes, who didn't have a hammer, simply used the mechanical arm as a medium to smash the nails in the corner of the wooden house into the wood one by one.

Adele just watched him repeat work like a pile driver.

And she found that when Barnes was doing physical work, his mind was not thinking.

…except for the occasional movement of the board, a small amount of information about “a little left” or “a little right” will appear on the subtitles.

Adele huddled in a corner sheltered from the wind, looked at the huge human-shaped hole in front of her, and wondered why Barnes didn't just stand in that hole as a filler?Maybe it's the right size.

After Barnes finished patching the hole in the figure, he looked back at Adele, and Adele immediately looked up at him in an obedient manner, showing a docile and obedient smile.

After all, it's nice to see a little stick figure with huge arms and a round head.

[Barnes looked at the well-behaved and docile girl in front of him, and felt that although the girl in front of him looked well-behaved and didn't cause him any trouble along the way, it was originally a pleasant thing for him, but if he believed Tony A Stark's daughter could really be so docile, that's what fools do. 】

Adele: "..."

Don't be like this, hey, I was picked up by him, I didn't inherit his IQ and height!

[Barnes no longer looked at the girl in front of him, but just walked out of the cabin, thinking...]

As soon as he walked out, the subtitles in front of Adele stopped after the distance increased. It seems that this is a short-distance receiving signal system. Once the distance is widened, the message cannot be received.

Adele quickly put on her clothes and chased her out, but at this moment Barnes was already thinking about other things.

[Barnes put his hands on a thick stack of square wooden boards outside, looked back at Adele, frowned, and asked in an unbelievable tone—]

"Where did you get all this wood?"

Adele: "...they're right by the lake, you're too nervous, you just didn't see them."

[Barnes doesn't believe what she says at all.Now he doesn't know anything else, only one thing is certain - the girl in front of him is a little guy who is full of lies, and she can only spit out false words from her beautiful lips.Like a marmot, she knows when to burrow for protection and when to poke her head out to give the appropriate message to distant pursuit forces. 】

Adele: "..."

Soil... Pull... Rat...

qaq I said this is all drawn by me, do you believe it?

Perhaps the ability to make pictures come true can only be used in moderation?Too far away to use it?

...Adele tried again and again anyway...

Adele estimated that these metaphors and symbols should not be something in Barnes's head, or something that the subtitles have translated blindly.

However, she still can't make this dead thing serious. If you don't let it talk nonsense, it will disappear for you. It's really annoying to get anxious.

[Barnes looked towards the lake, his eyes lingering on the surface of the extremely deep lake, and suddenly asked——]

"Can you swim?"

Adele froze for a moment: "I took swimming lessons in high school, but I didn't dare to go into the water—"

"Good," Barnes said.

Adele was at a loss, having no idea what he was talking about.

At this time, she suddenly found that the subtitles in front of her had become garbled characters. Adele tried hard to recognize the characters on it, but the garbled characters just flashed for a moment, as if this was the unique ability of super soldiers. These messages are encrypted so that even someone who can read the other person's mind cannot read the message.

So, what is this-

Adele was still thinking hard when she was picked up suddenly.Barnes grabbed her by the collar, lifted her feet off the ground, and lifted her above the lake: "Where did the planks come from. I'll give you three seconds."

Adele was a little afraid of water, more afraid of being drowned, subconsciously replied: "I don't know..."

Barnes said quietly: "Three."

Adele panicked: "I really don't know! Believe it or not, I'm useless, it can't be me—"

Barnes continued: "Two."

Adele was still flustered at first, but later turned into a kind of extreme anger: "I told you, I don't know!"

Barnes still didn't show any expression: "One."

Adele suddenly yelled: "You just killed me!"

There was hoarseness in the roar, and the girl's eyes suddenly became furious, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces at that moment.

Adele gasped for breath because of nervousness, and gritted her teeth: "If you have the ability, let me die! You have to die if I die, let alone an arm, the Avengers will directly blow you up , At that time, there will not even be a person who will pick up your bones! Are you pointing at Steve to negotiate with you? At that time, he can send your remaining dregs to the crematorium!"

Almost roaring out everything she wanted to say, the girl who had completely lost her mind was still facing the danger of falling into the water, but at that moment she seemed not afraid of death, but was looking forward to dying with him.

Like a ghost at the bottom of the water, even if it is trapped and drowned in the water, it will drag passers-by into the water.

Adele regained her sanity after roaring. The courage brought to her by the initial rage was gradually worn away by the silence and balance. Fear was like a lake under her feet, which was blown by the wind, and the waves surged up.

The tide of fear was rising higher and higher, and it was about to drown her.

Yes, she is afraid of water, like crazy afraid of water.

After confronting each other for nearly ten seconds, Barnes let go of his hand suddenly, and Adele fell just like that, but it just fell to the ground instead of falling directly into the lake.

Adele clutched her chest, and it took a while to recover.

...Did she confront the Winter Soldier head-on just now?

... Crazy, crazy... I'm going to die, I'm done.

Adele looked at the lake beside her that appeared only in simple lines, stretched out her hand, touched the cold lake water between her fingers, and retracted instantly.

No, stick figures are also afraid.

Was Barnes trying to drown her just now?She was still confronting that lunatic?

Adele was scared after thinking about it.

She glanced at Barnes who was digging the ground with a mechanical arm as a shovel in the distance, and found that the subtitles in her eyes were still garbled.

This shows that he is thinking about things, and the amount of information in his head is very large.

Adele was a little sorry, because she couldn't see anything. If she could see what was in Barnes' mind at this time, it must be very useful information.

At this time, a line of words suddenly appeared in her eyes, and this line of words was particularly conspicuous among the garbled characters:

[A docile cat with sharp claws. 】

Adele was startled, and looked up at Barnes in the distance, only to find that he was also looking at her.

...I thought I could see his eyes, but...

Both peas eyes narrowed into straight lines.

It's not a straight line. A straight line can be extended infinitely. Looking into his eyes, it's probably... a line segment?

……

orz.

The inverted triangle represents anger, does that line segment represent... looking seriously?Still dismissive?

Adele couldn't figure out this terrible math problem even after thinking about it.

She is a math scum who has to rely on Harry's paper answers to pass the graduation exam.Sometimes Adele wonders how decadent she must be to copy the math test papers of a rich second generation. After all, nerds are too far away to copy.

Thinking of her math test, Adele felt a little relieved and tried to stand up.

No, I was so frightened by that lunatic just now that my legs went limp and I couldn't stand up.

[Barnes dug out a sealed box from the soil, cut the black sealing tape around the box, and opened the box.There are neat compressed biscuits and some canned beef in it, enough for two people to live here for a while. 】

Barnes picked up the suitcase, glanced at Adele who was paralyzed by the lake from a distance, turned around and walked into the house without saying anything.

Adele looked around.

【Near the empty lake surface is overgrown weeds. At the end of the desolate line of sight is a sun that is about to sink into the horizon. The only thing that can be seen around here is the road at the end of the line of sight and the dilapidated hut in front of it. . 】

Adele couldn't escape, and if she could draw herself a car, she couldn't draw gasoline.

No way, she still has to get along with Barnes.

Adele stood up while supporting the tree trunk next to her, her mind was blank.

Barnes was supposed to negotiate with Tony, but now he's taking himself into hiding, probably because of the bruise on his neck.He wanted a sane deal, not a life-and-death bombing where he got nothing to gain.

Adele calculated the time, that is, within two weeks from today, she would have to live with Barnes until the food in that box was exhausted and the scar on her neck faded away.

Then wait for Barnes to take the initiative to contact Tony.

She shrugged helplessly.

Who knew what terrible things Barnes would do in order to pry her mouth open.Wasn't he trained and brainwashed at Hydra HQ?Maybe this guy is well versed in brainwashing techniques, and he will use this method to torture her later...

Adele was terrified just thinking about it.

She straightened her waist as much as possible and walked over, trying not to show timidity, and sat down beside Barnes in a very calm manner.

The line of words reappeared in her eyes:

[A docile cat with sharp claws. 】

Well, it's not a marmot at last.

Having risen from a mouse to a cat, Adele's psychology has become a little more balanced.

Well, just a little bit.

When can I become a human?

Barnes looked up at her, and said in a cold, almost temperatureless voice, "Did you find those logs?"

Adele nodded without saying anything.

Barnes said, "Very well, let's get some more."

As he spoke, the mechanical arm suddenly lifted and smashed a wooden board in front of him.

Adele watched helplessly as that nice rectangle turned into countless small triangles, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons...

Ok……

It seems that there are no tools in this wooden house except nails, but although there are no tools, Mr. Barnes seems to use his hand as a tool quite well?

... No wonder his hand is broken... Whose hand can withstand such a toss.

Barnes lit a fire on the wood, leaned back and leaned against the wall: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you until I get a new arm."

[The flickering firelight reflected his cold face, but it didn't add any warmth to such a face. 】

Ben turned his eyes and looked at Adele: "When I was at the Hydra headquarters, there was a criminal law that would put people into the water, but let him out of the water before he was drowned." Take a breath, repeating this over and over again..."

He lowered his voice and looked at Adele beside him: "Until he spits out the truth like water."

Adele couldn't help shivering.

Barnes laughed: "Why don't you tell me what your limit is in the water, lest I use too much force, and we will all be unlucky if you die."

A chill rose from her back and hit her brain.

The most important thing is that the smiling Barnes on the opposite side has a perfect emoji circle, and his smile is very standard:

:)

Adele: "...I will die if I touch the water, you can figure it out."

As she said this, she suddenly remembered something, and turned her head to look at Barnes suddenly: "You said just now that you would not hurt me until you got the new arm, so what about after you get it...?"

Barnes continued to maintain his terrifying smile that would be worse if he didn't laugh, and said in a cold and jerky voice like glass shards:

"It depends on your luck."
