Bucky lost his iron arm, but he didn't feel sorry for it at all, the only trouble was that one hand was a bit of a handicap, but he'd get used to it quickly.Trapped in the smoky ruins, maybe even if you have both hands and feet, it won't work, at least watching Steve and Tony pick up the accumulation for nearly five hours, but you still can't get out.

"Maybe you should rest for a few minutes before continuing." Bucky suggested weakly, "If you don't want to die of exhaustion in this place."

Steve stopped his hands, gasped and said, "How are you feeling?" Perhaps he should have asked, "Need some water?", but Steve couldn't provide any water to the badly injured Bucky.

The three of them were trapped to death in the secret room after the collapse, but in fact, they were also lucky.The strength of the secret room far exceeded Tony's expectations. There were crumbling walls all around, but the ceiling of the secret room was only slightly dented.They are safe here for the time being. If water and food supplies are not considered, the firmness of the secret room can make them no longer have to worry about being crushed by falling objects.

It's just that the buildup blocking the doorway is a huge nuisance.

"I'm sorry." Bucky leaned his back against the wall, and he tried to help Steve and Tony move the rocks blocking the door, but he was so weak now that he couldn't move his body an inch, even raised his arms. Movements became extremely slow.

But his apology wasn't for not being able to help: "It's my fault I didn't protect her well." Bucky looked at Steve, then set his eyes on Tony's back, "I'm really sorry, I should have pulled her up."

Just a few hours ago, in order to rescue Lin Lan, Bucky was pierced in three places by the falling metal pipe.One was on the left shoulder blade, which caused his iron arm to lose control in an instant and he let go of his palm. He felt that the line connecting the nerve in his severed arm was being pulled out of the blood vessel.

Then, Zemo slipped from his hand, and Lin Lan successfully caught him.

Then, more metal pipes came one after another, Bucky blocked many fatal injuries for Lin Lan.Two other thin tubes were threaded into his abdominal cavity and chest.He lost pain and all other senses in an instant, his breathing became difficult, and his vision began to blur. Bucky's mouth was bloody, and he wasn't sure if it was the lack of oxygen caused by the blood gushing from his throat. .

Lin Lan had to give up on Zemo at this moment. She freed her hands and used a palm wind forcefully, knocking away more sharp weapons that were about to pierce Bucky's body.

Immediately afterwards, her body began to fall, accompanied by the metal pipe that was equally deadly to her, and as she fell into the abyss, she scattered all the healing bugs on Bucky.She didn't know if doing so would lessen Bucky's injuries, because he looked hopeless.But he was the Winter Soldier, Lin Lan didn't think Bucky couldn't even heal this injury, if that was the case, she would really beat him up.

After all, he survived falling off a cliff from a train.

As for herself, Lin Lan didn't think about it at the time, she just hoped that the pothole behind her would not be too deep, and when she fell, she wouldn't be stuck like a hedgehog by a pipe.

"It's her choice, not yours, she'll be fine, we just need to get out of here and find her." Steve was comforting Bucky, and comforting himself, he was not having a good time.Steve was trying to convince himself that his fiancée was going to be okay in the face of all odds, that there was no reason she couldn't be lucky today, after all the lives and deaths they'd been through.

But other than confirming it himself, he has no way to sit in the secret room and wait for rescue.

If so, there will be rescue.

Five hours had passed, and Steve felt that his persuasion was getting weaker and weaker. Obviously Tony felt the same way, so he was still digging desperately.You know, with Lin Lan's personality, even if she has only a little strength, she will find a way to tell everyone that she is fine.

For example, playing the flute, she has the ability to let the sound of the flute penetrate through the hard metal plate, so that they can hear clearly, instead of being so quiet like now.

This is not the only worrying thing. Those little black bugs called "seed beetles" seem to be all on Bucky's body. Steve doesn't know how many of these things are in Lin Lan's body. They're all given to Bucky's words...

He didn't dare to think about it.

Bucky couldn't help but feel guilty, he seemed to fully understand Steve's mood at that moment, the feeling of hating himself for being powerless.

Only three pipes were inserted into Bucky's body instead of more, still thanks to T'Challa, just before Lin Lan fell into the deep hole, his black shadow flashed past Bucky, and he jumped down with Lin Lan at the same time Also throw Bucky to a sheltered place to save him from further damage.

"Tony, stop, you need to rest." Steve forcibly pulled Tony away from the pile of rocks that would not move no matter how hard he pushed, "We all need to rest."

Tony's armor has completely lost its kinetic energy. If it weren't for this, he should have opened up a new way out long ago. The reactor on Tony's chest was casually discarded aside. The round iron block without a blue light source looked listless. Key's severed arms fit right together.

After Steve and Tony worked together to pull out the metal tube inserted into Bucky's body, Bucky's heart stopped beating. Steve was not sure whether this phenomenon was temporary or continuous. Does the frozen Bucky have a stronger healing speed than him?It wasn't until his wound was almost completely healed with the help of the "little black bug", and Bucky's heartbeat was still at zero, that Steve noticed something was wrong.

Maybe it was the lack of blood supply to the heart caused by excessive blood loss, maybe the metal pipe hurt his vitals, no one knows what caused the heart to stop, and their team doctor was not on the scene.

Tony asked Steve, had he been with Lin Lan for so long, didn't he learn some girl's medical skills?

Steve really had no choice but to smile wryly. No one could learn Lin Lan's healing technique, but he did try hard.After he almost killed two venomous snakes raised in the laboratory and three scorpions, Steve decisively chose to end the study.

With Tony's reactor still embedded in the chest of his armor, the AI's response put the men on edge again, and Friday was unable to diagnose Bucky's cardiac arrest.

At that time, Bucky was like a frozen man just taken out of the morgue. His face was pale, he had no heartbeat, let alone breathing, but his appearance was intact.

So Tony decides to wake Bucky up the old way, a way that nearly killed him two years ago but certainly wouldn't kill him today.The electromagnetic resonance of the reactor can activate the heartbeat function, just like an electric shock device. Tony felt that if Steve's artificial respiration did not wake up Bucky, only electric shocks remained. (Deleted footage from Iron Man 3)

During this period, something happened that made Tony forgive Steve's little concealment. Although he kept pretending that he didn't forgive, Steve knew that he must have forgiven.

When Tony was about to take off the reactor on his chest, Steve almost subconsciously stopped him.

But soon, Steve realizes that what he's doing is pretty stupid.

"I separated the reactor on my chest from the reactor on the armor a few years ago, don't tell me you never understood the difference?" Tony said with a hint of sarcasm and a hint of joy.

With the help of electric shock and artificial respiration, Bucky's heartbeat resumed, his blood finally began to flow faster, and he finally woke up a few hours later.It's just that people who have lost excessive blood feel extremely hungry and thirsty, but there is no source of drinking water or food here.Dragging his heavy armor on the floor, Tony teases that maybe a few more mouth-to-mouth breaths from Steve will quench his thirst.

It's a pity that the reactor can no longer activate the armor, otherwise he and Steve wouldn't be digging holes with their bare hands like two puppies looking for bones.

Steve may understand why only Tony can be Iron Man and others can't, he will never give up hope, and at the same time he will give hope to others.Tony can always use what is at hand, anything, even a small turnbuckle, to create a very useful small object when it matters most.

Just like the impressive kidnapping eight years ago, he had almost no chance of escaping, but he made his first armor and escaped from the magic den without anyone's help.

It's the same now, he used the reactor alone to make a powerful bomb, well, in fact, Bucky also gave a hand, and it was just a "hand".His broken metal arm becomes Tony's screwdriver and wrench, which Tony says works surprisingly well and asks Bucky if he can give them to him.

Apparently Tony was joking.

He deftly wrapped his fingers around the resistance wires, then brought the leads to the other end: "So, did you make a will?" Tony asked.

"Fail?" Steve asked.

"I didn't say my stuff would fail, but there's not enough room here for us to avoid the impact of the explosion." He stood in front of the two of them wearing the armor that had no electric energy, "and, if this place is shaken, it may collapse." Sex is 60.00%."

Just like what Tony said, the three of them may be the only ones who can blast a place less than five square meters.

They had to find a way to leave this closed secret room in order to find the lost Lin Lan and the Black Panther. If they were together now, they had no other choice but to explode.

"I have no relatives, so I don't need a will." Bucky said, "I'm the only one."

Bucky preempted Tony's lines, and he clicked his tongue resentfully.

Steve said, "My family and friends are here." He glanced at the back of Tony's head, "So it's okay."

The effect of the explosion was better than expected, the tunnel created by the explosion was enough for a grown man to pass through, and more importantly, the secret room did not collapse.Unfortunately, the three men were knocked into the air by the huge impact force, and they were tightly squeezed together like a pile of arhats.

And in a dark and cold secret room in Siberia, it was certainly not a wonderful experience for Tony to become an "Oreo" with two American soldiers.

Tony and Bucky were left in the room. It can also be said that the two were not allowed to go anywhere designated by Captain America.Because the probability of them being in danger and not surviving is very high now, one armor has lost power, one has no arm, and is severely dehydrated due to blood loss.

Of course, the puncture wound on Steve's calf is still there, and they don't know it, but to Steve, such a small injury is not worth making a fuss about, and he can still walk normally.

This is a difficult task. In addition to finding Lin Lan, Steve has to find a way to find drinking water.So he took Tony's helmet, a precision mechanism perfect for carrying it back without spilling a drop when filled with water.

"It's a head full of wisdom." Tony leaned against the corner of the wall. The armor without electric energy no longer has the function of regulating temperature. After relaxing, Tony gradually felt the cold, "I never thought that my helmet could be used as a kettle. , the extremely clever Captain America."

Bucky laughed with his eyes closed, his lips chapped with dryness, and there was a sting.

The atmosphere was not as embarrassing as expected. Since the reactor was completely scrapped, the entire secret room could not be seen.Maybe it was because they couldn't see each other that they became calmer.

"Is it painful for my parents to die?" Tony suddenly asked, "I feel that they are quite painful after watching the video."

Bucky's breath became heavier, and after a long time, he replied: "It should be, there is no pain, I have great strength, I..." He didn't know how to explain the facts back then, Bucky bent his legs, it was A gesture he often makes when he is sad or in pain.

"Really..." Tony let out a slow breath, "That's good," he said, relieved.

The two were silent for about 10 minutes without saying anything, but in fact, only 1 minute passed, and this 1 minute was obviously a bit long for them.Tony felt that he should follow Steve and act with him, just like when facing the Kirita or Ultron, the two of them always rushed to the front of the team together, didn't they?

Bucky's throat made a gurgling sound, and he was swallowing what he didn't have: "I really..."

"I've always been curious, why did you want to join the army?" He interrupted Bucky's about to apologize, and Tony couldn't count how many times the guy said it, his ears were almost callused.Tony thought it would be difficult for him to let go of the fact that Bucky killed people, but in fact, he was much more open-minded than expected.

Perhaps, subconsciously, he felt that Sergeant Barnes was somewhat similar to himself.

"Most of the boys in that era wanted to join the army, TV, posters, labor unions, and everywhere they advertised that the men who joined the army were the most handsome." He paused, "Of course, I didn't go because I thought joining the army was cool, I just went. I want to fight those invaders with my fists."

Propaganda always gets people excited in the most beautiful and provocative terms, but in the military nobody cares what you look like.They only care about whether you can kill the enemy and whether you can fight.

Tony nodded and said sincerely, "You are a great generation."

"You and Steve often talked about those years?" Bucky asked with great interest, "After all, he had a very good relationship with your father. Steve knew everything about Howard when he was young..." When Bucky mentioned that name At that moment, a painful feeling hit him, Bucky subconsciously sucked in a breath of cool air, the cold air made his throat tickle, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, swallowing the bitter taste in his mouth.

Tony is all too familiar with his reaction: "Hey, man, everyone does wrong things sometimes." He enlightens the Winter Soldier like someone who has experienced it, "I'm no better than you, you know, I destroyed Countless families, leaving thousands of civilians homeless. I have been considered a murderer by many people, and I am a murderer, including this time. If it weren't for me, Zemo would not have found you, let alone Captain." If he could, he would have patted Bucky on the shoulder twice to show comfort, but he couldn't determine the distance of the opponent in the dark, and Tony didn't want to poke Bucky's head as soon as he reached out.

"I have killed a lot of people, not less than you." Tony continued, "I think there must be many more people than you. After all, you are just a killer. You can kill one or two at a time, and at most three? I can kill them at one time." A city."

None of them wanted to kill, but they violated their will for various reasons. Self-blame is the first step in self-reflection, but once such self-examination lasts too long, it seems to be of little use except for putting themselves in a painful situation and torturing their brain nerves.Tony blamed himself for a full eight years. He thought that this kind of mental torture would last until 80 years later, but for some reason, while comforting Bucky, he figured out many things.

"Thanks," Bucky mumbled into the dark somewhere, getting weaker and weaker, but trying not to let Tony know.Bucky was glad that Steve wasn't here, because he would definitely notice his abnormality immediately, "I'm so happy for Steve to have a friend like you."

"Not a good friend, he's boring, and extremely boring," Tony explained, shaking his arms, as if others could see his distaste for Captain America.

"Yes, Steve is very rigid, and I can't stand him sometimes." Bucky said with a smile, "Especially after he went from 240 pounds to [-] pounds."

Captain America's old partner agrees with Tony's point of view, which makes him very happy, so he has the desire to continue chatting with him: "Why, because you can't beat him?"

"Of course not, this can't be called a problem at all." Bucky paused, he wanted to sleep for a while, so he closed his eyes, "I can't accept that the girls in the bar are all around him, but he doesn't do anything, I just Like a transparent one."

The little black bug can heal his wounds, but it can't replenish the lost blood. New injuries and old wounds make it difficult for Bucky to continue to support.

"Oh, that's really unpleasant, I can totally imagine." Almost immediately, Tony's mind flashed the stupid look of Steve sitting upright, "Okay, let's be pleasant, Lorraine said you are very popular Girls welcome. When I get back, I'll take you to the 'Good Morning' bar. It's opened by the French, and it's full of beautiful girls."

Tony thought he had found a bosom friend. After all, he really didn't have many friends, and he didn't have a friend who could share his experience of picking up girls with him.

But Bucky didn't answer.

"Don't like bars?" Bucky's silent response made Tony aware of the situation, "James?" He thought for a while, "Actually, I don't really want to call you James, it reminds me of another person, War Machine, you You must know who he is, right, he is also named James, James Rhodes."

Tony paused for a few seconds: "I said, are you okay?"
