[Comprehensive] Road to Trench

In 2008, Earth.

new York.

Since Anthony Stark was attacked and disappeared in Afghanistan, Virginia Potts, Stark's secretary, and Obadiah Stein, the company's veteran, have been busy dealing with the board of directors and outside public opinion. It can be said that they are extremely busy.

It all came to a head after the video of Tony Stark being kidnapped.

"No!" Little Pepper gasped, "We have to find someone to save him!"

"Miss Potts, calm down, we don't know where Tony was kidnapped!" Obadiah Stan also had a bad face, but he was much calmer than Pepper, "This video cannot be released, Otherwise it will be even worse!"

Pepper——Virginia Potts took a deep breath and managed to calm down: "Then...Rowdy? He's Tony's friend!"

No matter in terms of tactical literacy or personal relationship, Roddy is the best candidate.

Obadia Stan didn't seem to agree with this candidate very much, but he couldn't think of a better candidate, so he nodded, and Pepper pursed his lips tightly, and contacted Rody.

After everything was arranged, Pepper left the company, but instead of going back to her own home, she went to Tony's residence.

There is no one in the empty house. When Tony is here, he has his playful personality. At least there will be lively times here... Thinking of this, Xiaojiao thought of the video he saw in the afternoon. The smile that hadn't yet been raised disappeared.

"Hi, Miss Potts." Suddenly, a magnetic male voice sounded.

Pepper wiped the water from the corner of his eyes: "Jarvis, is there something wrong?"

As a smart butler, Jarvis is responsible for the 24-hour security of the villa and the division of prohibited and admitted areas. However, so far, no thieves have been able to sneak into this luxury villa.

So Ms. Potts' question is also routine, but she did not expect that Jarvis gave her an unexpected reply: "Mr. has not contacted me for 72 hours. According to the program compiled by Mr., I will start the emergency contact procedure." .”

Miss Potts was stunned: "Emergency contact procedure? Who to contact?"

Jarvis's program was running, and after confirming that Mr. Potts had given Miss Potts permission to understand this aspect, he spoke again:

"Mr. didn't tell me my real name, only a code name."

code name?"What is it?" Potts asked.

"uncle bucky"

a few days later.

Afghanistan.

Tony Stark couldn't restrain his despair, the wound on Dr. Ethan's body was red and glaring.

He could control Mark One to kill the terrorists outside, but he could not save the life of the man in front of him.

"Go..." Ethan, who was still breathing, tried to smile at this prodigal genius, "Go, do something meaningful, and don't waste your life."

Tony didn't give up, and wanted to take him along. At this moment, there was a sound behind him, and the man covered in steel was startled. He thought it was an approaching enemy, grabbed his weapon and turned his head, only to see a man wearing a hood. The man was knocked down by some attack from behind, and passed out on the ground.

He fell, and only then did he reveal the man behind him: a man in full armor with no skin showing, with weapons hanging all over his body.

Ethan's breathing became short of breath. He wanted to help Tony Stark get out of here. With his last obsession, he shook his hands and tried to raise the ak in his hand—only halfway through, he was pushed back by Tony: "nononono! My own people!"

When Tony was talking fast, the man had already walked over. He glanced at Ethan and got a general understanding of the situation. He reached out to close the safety of the weapon in Ethan's hand to prevent him from going off with a trembling hand, and then pulled Ethan away. shirt.After looking at the terrible injury, he made a general judgment and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the penetrating wound, the bullet didn't stay in the body, so I don't need to take the bullet." A small bottle, unscrew the bottle, tilt it, put a few drops on the penetrating wound caused by the bullet, and put it away.

I don't know what the liquid was made of, and when it dripped on the rolling wound, a plume of white smoke came out, and there was a whining sound, just like concentrated sulfuric acid dripping on a person's skin—but Tony clearly I saw that the originally rolled-up flesh was pulled back to its original position by the drop of liquid and fused. In just a few seconds, the originally rolled-up flesh was completely closed and healed, leaving only a shallow scar.

"Good internal organs are not as fast as skin and flesh, so you have to be careful when you move." While waiting for the injury to heal, the visitor was not idle. He found a dressing box that did not suit his temperament and skill, opened it, and took it out. The fine powder inside was applied to Tony's forehead.

Tony swears to God he'd seen the same shiny rhinestone-covered dressing-case on the dresser of one of his girlfriends, and according to the one whose name, face, and figure he had no memory of. According to my girlfriend, this seems to be a special Christmas outfit of a certain famous beauty brand: "...Dear Uncle Bucky, I don't need to attend any press conferences or award ceremonies right now, so it's better to save powder or something." Alright."

But then, Tony saw Ethan's shocked eyes. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. He took off the heavy iron gauntlet on his hand, and reached out to wipe his forehead—the place that had just been powdered, there was still a faint sound coming from there before. Sting, he knows where it's broken but doesn't care, now...

When I touched it with my fingers, I didn't feel the tingling sensation of the wound, and the skin under the fingertips was also smooth.

He put his hands in front of his eyes, and the half-dried blood on his fingers showed that the previous wound was not his illusion: "...What is that?"

"Go back and tell you." Someone patted him on the shoulder, "Now, get out of here first."

Although the superficial skin has healed, considering that this is a penetrating injury, Bucky moved Ethan carefully and cautiously, while Tony opened the way in front: his iron bump is really good for opening the way—— "This is Mark! Mark One!" Tony couldn't help retorting.

"...you gave it a name?" Bucky couldn't hold back for a moment, and blurted out.

Tony didn't reply, but expressed his true inner thoughts of "Yes, what's the matter" with his eyes and expression.

When the three protruded out, a large number of enemies had gathered outside, but under the firepower of Tony's Mark [-], the group of enemies who kidnapped him had no power to fight back, and Bucky who came was also fully armed. , the three of them managed to get away, boarded Bucky's desert vehicle and left.

After finally leaving the desert and returning to the civilized society dominated by high technology, Tony only had time to tell Bucky to wait for him at home, and let Miss Potts hold the press conference first.

The various turmoil at this press conference will not be expressed for the time being. The first thing Tony Stark did after he escaped from the cloud of kidnapping was to shut down the Stark Group’s weapons development department. This heavy news shocked everyone. I can't come to my senses, let alone a board of directors that is itself a stakeholder.

It was already midnight when Tony was finally released by the board of directors and returned to his mansion.

Jarvis turned on the light when he sensed his return.

With the light on, Tony saw the man sitting on the sofa who seemed to be thinking about something: "Why don't you turn on the light?"

He just came back and found that there were no lights in the house, and he thought Bucky had left.

——This parent’s best friend has always come and gone like wind, judging from what he rarely understands, it seems that he is still a peaceful person who is committed to resolving war disputes (although this is very strange in terms of Bucky’s handling methods) sarcasm), he didn't think what he said earlier would make him stay.

Bucky recovered from his contemplation—in fact, he already knew that Tony was back when the lights came on: "That's right."

This refers to what Tony said at the press conference.

Tony paused: "This is good news—you were the first one to affirm my decision on the way back from the press conference." He nodded as he spoke, as if affirming himself.

Bucky laughed. "I thought you knew the reaction to what you said before you called the press conference."

"Of course I thought of it." Tony said disapprovingly, "I even thought of what the board of directors would say-but so what? It can't interfere with my decision."

A snow-white Samoyed came out from another room, whimpered softly, and ran to Bucky's side in small steps, hugging his hand with its kiss, while Bucky comforted the white Samoyed Yeah, while talking to Tony: "Since you think it's right, then execute it—time will prove you right, then was, is now, and will be in the future," he paused slightly, seeing the seemingly nonchalant Jiu but his small movements showed that he was paying attention to the people here, and unexpectedly made a turning point, "What do you think?"

"Of course!" Tony Stark said without hesitation, self-confident and arrogant, and even an attitude that would make outsiders think he was complacent. In him, he will never change, "... When did Agana come?"

His topic suddenly turned to other places.

The white Samoyed looked back innocently, the black and wet dog eyes were extremely cute and innocent, and the big snow-white fluffy tail was still shaking blankly.

"During your press conference." Bucky gave an accurate reply.

"I've always been curious about one thing," Tony walked over with two wine glasses, put one in front of Bucky, and brought the other to his mouth, took a sip, watched the big dog wagging its big tail, Abandoning Bucky resolutely, with two paws on the coffee table, his long snout directly reached into the flared wine glass, and he drank the fine wine inside with ease.

——He poured this glass of wine not for Bucky, but for Agana. I don't know when it got into the habit of drinking...

"Didn't you give it a drink?" Bucky whispered while patting Agana.

Sometimes he couldn't take care of Agana, and it was inconvenient to take Agana away, so he would entrust Agana to Tony's care.What he thought at first was that anyway, Tony also had a housekeeper, and most of the time it was the housekeeper who took care of Agana, or even his secretary. With Tony's personality that he couldn't take care of himself, Beng expected him to take care of Agana.

As a result, one time when he came back, he found Tony and Agana drinking each other...

Since then, he never left Agana in Tony's care.

The person whose filter for himself is always as thick as the distance between the earth and the moon and who firmly refuses to admit any black history resolutely changed the topic: "How is Ethan?"

Unlike his minor injuries, Ethan was pushed to the hospital right after he got off the plane, and Bucky was there with him at that time, so it’s right to ask him—although you can also get the answer by asking his dear secretary Potts , but well...

They said they were changing the subject.

"The doctor said that there is no major problem. He will be hospitalized for a few days for observation, and then he can be discharged after confirming that there is no incubation period for any troublesome infectious diseases. Tony, you should also go for an examination."

Tony curled his lips and didn't speak. Instead, he remembered a question he had been wanting to ask, but for some reason, he was always interrupted by something and didn't ask: "What did you use for Ethan at that time? Sea Wizard's Potion? Is there any more? Give me some, you see that I am so easily kidnapped and in crisis, you must leave me a... Bucky?"

After talking a long way, Tony suddenly realized that Bucky hadn't answered the question. After a closer look, he was stunned: "...what's wrong?"

That expression made Tony's heart skip a beat.

"...It's nothing." Bucky opened his mouth after a while, "I forgot where it came from, it should have been brought out from Hydra—you know my memory hasn't fully recovered."

Mentioning this point, Tony shut up decisively, he would step on other people’s painful feet without looking at people’s faces, but Bucky was not in that range: when he thought his parents were dead, he came back with the surviving parents, and he has been involved in it ever since. When he was growing up, Bucky was his other parent to a certain extent. With personality problems, he got along more relaxedly, unlike him and his father Howard, because the two people are too similar, even if they understand each other, He also always likes to choke - usually at times like this, Maria needs to come out to smooth things over.

The conversation was hastily ended, and Bucky stayed at Tony's villa that day - he didn't plan to leave anytime soon, and according to his opinion, Tony's crisis had not yet been resolved.

At night, looking at the dark coastline outside, the confusion that had been suppressed surged up again.

That medicine, that vanity box...that's not what Hydra would have, he knew it very well.

But where do they come from?Why is it by his hand?

Bucky looked at his unclear reflection on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and pressed his forehead against it:

In his lost memory...is there still a treasure that he hasn't recalled yet?
