Superhero's Physician[Comprehensive]

Steve still still remembers the nightmare he once had. That nightmare fell off the train from Bucky and was buried in the Alps. After that, it kept repeating in the first few years, until he flew the plane into the Arctic Ocean.Steve didn't know when he stopped having that nightmare about Bucky, maybe it started when he met Lin Lan, and the nightmare didn't end until he learned that Bucky was still alive.

But now, as if that nightmare had come back to him, Steve felt his heart sink as he touched Bucky's cold body in the dark.Steve didn't dare to pick him up, he was afraid that such a move would cause more serious injuries to Bucky.Steve hated himself again, and he found that no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't save Bucky's life at the most important moment.

Whether in the past or now.

He lay there very quietly as if he had fallen asleep. Steve couldn't see Bucky's expression, but he could feel it with his hands. He must have died without pain to be so peaceful.

Tony seems to understand Steve's grief, because he's only tasted the heartbreaking feeling a few hours ago.He didn't know what language to use to comfort him, he really couldn't say "it will be fine, don't worry, everything will pass".

Because Bucky had no breathing or heartbeat, he was dead, at least no matter how much I beat his chest or performed artificial respiration, there was no way to wake him up.Tony didn't think he could draw any conclusions other than death.

Tony wasn't sure if Steve was crying, because there was a constant sound of rapid breathing on the other side, and if it was, he would be even more overwhelmed.They didn't get along like this before, Tony always teased Steve aggressively, but it definitely couldn't be done to him now, at least not for a while.

He's sick, Tony can feel it, well, who can't.

Fortunately, neither of them can see each other, and Steve can grieve as much as he wants.

Steve knew he lost his partner again, 70 years ago, he had to choose to give up Bucky because of the mission, he watched him fall from his face without looking back, God knows how much he wanted to follow jump down.Bucky had a chance to be rescued at the time, so he wouldn't have turned into a murder weapon, if Rogers, as Captain America, really chose to jump off the train.

Steve groaned, and Tony knew he was resisting the urge to cry, like he felt when his parents were killed: "We were talking," he said, "talking about girls, he likes that topic , I told him that when we get out of here, I'll take him to a strip dance and a booze." Tony didn't know if this was another tragedy of his own making, if he could find out about Bucky's problem earlier instead of just talking endlessly .

However, even if he found out and could do anything, there was nothing he could do, maybe he could call Steve back in advance, so that the two of them had time to say their final goodbyes.

"Thank you." Steve said, "He must be looking forward to it." He didn't blame Tony, it was impossible for Steve to blame him, he would just attribute all the problems to himself.

It was him who failed to protect his comrades, and it had nothing to do with anyone.

Tony was shivering from the cold in the armor. The metal inner wall was like a personal refrigerator, but he couldn't get out of this refrigerator because the temperature outside the refrigerator was lower.

Usually, in order to fit the human body structure and achieve a smooth state of man-machine integration, Tony would only wear thin underwear inside. The armor has an automatic constant temperature device, so it is not a problem to be warm in winter and cool in summer.

But now it seems that there are many problems. He should use electricity for this suit of armor. He should design a suit that will not lose power under any circumstances.

Tony had never felt so cold before, he didn't even have the mood to move his limbs, because every time he moved, he felt the cold air rushing into the armor, and he had to curl up his body into a ball to barely let the heat escape so quickly.He didn't know if the sudden chill was the result of Siberia's low temperatures, or the loss of a soon-to-be friend.

He felt that this feeling was so strange that Tony almost forgot what it was like to be cold, but it should never be this piercing.When the winter in New York ushered in a world of ice and snow, he spent most of his time indoors admiring the falling snowflakes, sipping warm coffee in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of Stark Tower, and the beautiful scenery below him was unobstructed.

And armor, his gear knows how to carry its master through the brutality of war in comfort.

But now that they're gone, even skin touching the surface of the armor is enough to make Tony want to scream, the cold touch pricking every inch of his joints like needles.

God, he found himself hating winter more than he did now, he thought he liked watching the snow and Christmas.

"I found Lin Lin's location." Steve said, he forced himself to recover from his grief, he had to cheer up, because there was another important person waiting for him to rescue, he didn't want to lose and couldn't lose again , "We have to find her and take her away together."

"What's the plan?" Tony found his teeth chattering and it was difficult to speak, "Damn weather..."

"Not yet, but we've got to get out of this place, Quincy's out there, and as long as we can get on the plane, things will get better." Even Steve thinks the place's getting colder, he thinks, It may be because their physical functions are declining rapidly, "I'm sorry Tony, I should have told you the whole truth from the beginning, I should have believed you, I made things like this."

"No, no, it's right not to tell me, I'm going to screw up all your plans. You know, I'm like a saboteur, and as long as I'm around, it's full of gunpowder." Tony said to his own He let out a breath of hot air with his hands, and when he found that the metal could not bring any warmth to his hands, he had to give up doing so.

"I never thought about it that way." Steve unbuttoned Bucky's jacket, intending to give his leather jacket to the frozen Iron Man, "although sometimes you do have a hard time communicating."

"sometimes?"

"Most of the time," Steve added.

"I don't deny it, but you're not a patient guy either."

"I'm impatient?"

Tony said: "It's not enough for me. Other than that, you're good to everyone, but as long as it's me, you're especially impatient." Maybe now shouldn't be the time to settle old scores, but Tony doesn't have the confidence to leave If you can leave) and find an opportunity to complain to Steve about his grievances all the time, and he won't lose his temper.

"I'm sorry, Tony." Steve said sincerely, "Maybe I subconsciously think that people like you shouldn't be willful."

"Someone like me?"

"Philanthropist, genius, billionaire, and, inventor." He said with a hint of a smile, "I always thought you should be at least like your father, not less marginal than him."

"You've missed a playboy," Tony said.

"At least you don't have the record to hold this title now." Steve said to him in an admiring tone. He always thought that Tony was another Howard, at least no matter how they looked at them, they were very similar, including the mustache .When Steve wakes up from being frozen for 70 years, his concept of Stark still stays on Howard, and when he met Tony, he was twice the age of Howard. Move closer to maturity and stability.

"I shouldn't treat you like your father. I should try to adapt to your thinking instead of asking you to adapt to me." Steve's voice sounded extremely soft, and he had never used similar to Tony. Attitude, Tony is right, Steve is really impatient with him, "This kind of concept makes me ignore repeatedly that you are an individual, you are Tony not Howard, you are better than him, you are amazing Tony, whatever You don't wear armor."

The silence made the entire dark space silent. If it wasn't for Tony's heavy breathing to break the silence again and again, this place would suddenly seem empty.

"Are you…" he said after licking his chapped lips, "are you apologizing to me?"

"It's not an apology, it's a compliment." Steve smiled wryly.

"Apologize too, I say?" Tony's calm tone couldn't hide his excitement, but he soon realized that he shouldn't show excitement, because Bucky's body was still lying there coldly, "Admit it, you Are you apologizing to me?"

"Well, if thinking like that makes you forgive me for being impatient with you, yes, I do apologize." Steve handed Bucky's coat forward, "Take off your armor and put on Bucky's Clothes, we have to find Lin Lin."

"Then what should he do?" Tony got the leather jacket in the dark, and he was poked a few times by the sharp point on the jacket. "We can't leave James here alone."

"Temporarily." Steve patted his friend's chest, and Bucky, without the heavy coat, showed his bodybuilder's figure, "He will forgive us..." Steve stopped patting suddenly, and immediately put Ears pressed against Bucky's chest.

"What's the matter?" Facing the sudden silence, Tony was taken aback, "Steve, are you still awake, I'm very scared now when you suddenly stop talking."

"Wait." Steve waved his arms to signal Tony to be quiet, "He seems to have a heartbeat!"

Bucky does have a heartbeat, and even breathing, but the interval between the two is quite long, whether it is the heartbeat or the breathing rate.Steve calculated briefly, and Bucky's heartbeat was almost every 3 minutes, followed by a short breath, accompanied by a slight belly rise and fall.

They all thought Bucky was dead, no one noticed the slight difference in the dark.

This is undoubtedly an exciting discovery, and Tony even cheered and laughed ecstatically: "However, I don't understand, what is this phenomenon, and how did this happen?"

"I think it has something to do with the serum we injected." Steve leaned Bucky against the wall, keeping him in a half-reclined position, "What do you think the room temperature is now?"

"Minus thirty degrees Fahrenheit, or forty?" Tony replies, not sure if he should be wearing Bucky's leather jacket now that he's still alive, until Steve insists on him.

Tony felt a little warmer as he put on the leather jacket and went back into the armor.

Steve took off his uniform, put it on Bucky and said, "You know we've all been injected with serum, and we've all been frozen. I remember the temperature in the Arctic Ocean was..."

"Minus 53 degrees Fahrenheit." Tony continued, "I know." In his computer system, there is a complete detailed file of Captain America's past and present life, which naturally includes the one he was picked up from the bottom of the sea by SHIELD. Time and temperature records at that time.

Steve nodded: "During the freezing period, my metabolism was almost forbidden, and I didn't even need to breathe. Now the temperature is just right and the environment is also right. Bucky's situation should be similar to mine."

"So, you mean, James is in hibernation right now?"

"The description is very apt. We can understand this as hibernation. He lost excessive blood, his body was severely damaged, and the cerebral cortex sent out not so good information. So, he hibernated himself like when he was frozen. According to Lin Lin In other words..."

"Healing." Tony said immediately, "Aha, I know the word, but how long will he sleep? You should be very experienced in this area."

"I don't know, I'm just guessing that there is such a possibility." But such speculation is well-founded, so Steve's grief has become a thing of the past, and he immediately realizes that new problems still need to be solved, "What is there?" How can we convey our message to the people below?"

"You asked about me, Captain. If my armor still has electricity, there will be several ways to convey information, but now..." He spread his hands, but found that no one here could see his gesticulation, so he put his hands together Putting it down, "Hey, wait, I thought of one, do you think Natasha and Clint taught Lorraine how to use Morse code?"

"You mean Morse code?" Steve pondered for a moment, "It's a good idea, I don't think Lin has learned that." If two elite agents had taught Lin Lan this famous code, she would definitely have learned it in the first place. Time tells Steve what he learned, but he has yet to hear from his fiancée, apparently unlearned, "but we can assume that people around her might." Morse code on early radio Heaviness, especially in the war years, Steve is very familiar with how to use it, "Like T'Challa, or Zemo, if Zemo is still alive."

"Hey, listen!" Tony stood up abruptly, and then he was knocked backward by the hard ceiling again, "Damn it, I must come back and demolish this damn place after I go out!"

The sound of the flute echoed in the dark space with a resentful melody. The sound was very small, but it was enough to penetrate the layers of covering and shake the eardrums of the men.Tony had never found the sound of the flute so beautiful, and he felt that the symphonies had become inferior.However, Tony had always disliked the sound made by this thing like a cat crying: "I knew it, I knew my Lorraine was the most amazing girl, did you hear that, captain!".

"Be careful Tony, yes, I heard you." He excitedly lifted the sleeping Bucky and let him lie on his back, "Follow me, there will be a faint light outside to barely see things, try to Lower your body." He thought for a while, then added, "And, this place has been demolished."

Lin Lan actually forgot to play the flute. When Steve found out later, he gave his fiancée (who was already his wife at that time) a sweet punishment, but she did wake up after being in a coma for a long time.It wasn't until she heard the rapid and brief knocking that she realized that she should do something to report her safety.

Lin Lan hoped that the bursts of knocking made by someone who didn't know just now meant to repay her safety, and not just to pry open the accumulation to rescue her.

Because all the "seed beetles" came back a few minutes ago, which means that they have completed their tasks.

"It's unbelievable. I'm talking to someone who lived 1000 years ago. No wonder your file is so simple, but you are very different from the description in the file." T'Challa was very interested in Lin Lan's life experience , Wakanda is a small country that has flourished with the help of natural forces. Usually a country like this will have its own totem worship. They are fascinated by all supernatural phenomena. "I wish I could learn more about your past, I mean, after we leave this place, if you don't mind."

Lin Lan listened intently to the crevices of the stone for a while, hoping to hear the beating like just now or any other sound made by external force, but there was no movement, except for the hollow humming sound.

She leaned her head against the wall in disappointment, and put her ears against the wall, so that she could hear what she wanted to hear immediately: "Excuse me, what did you just say?"

Lin Lan took advantage of the time when she stopped playing, and briefly told T'Challa about her background, the things that only existed in her memory, and the remarks that would not appear in any official information.She didn't expect her "past" to arouse the other party's interest. After all, when the Avengers knew about it, they just showed a little expression of "No wonder you have superpowers". They obviously didn't pay more attention to supernatural phenomena than T'Challa .

Of course, the more likely reason is that they have seen too many incredible things, just like Steve himself is also a person from the past, more legendary than her, as well as aliens and wormholes.

Tony and others always have countless scientific theories to summarize bizarre phenomena, they are all atheists, even a character like Saul Odinson who only appears in fairy tales, they all classify him as " "Aliens" instead of worship.

"I mean, your past is wonderful, if you want, I want to know more about them." T'Challa's eyes were devout, "Your people, your former identity, they sound very sacred Glory."

"This is really..." Lin Lan looked into his eyes in surprise, "I don't even know what to say, I feel flattered by you." No one around her was really interested in her past, Lin The interest that Lan refers to is the thirst for knowledge about faith.

Of course, Steve will be very serious and try his best to understand Lin Lan's past with the help of a translator. He knows everything about her past.But his kind of understanding tends to be towards Lin Lan herself, as long as it is about her, Steve will be obliged to take it to heart.

"You know I've always been curious about you. You make me feel very mysterious, but on the surface it doesn't look so mysterious." T'Challa smiled decently, "I always thought that all oriental people are like this, But later I found out that it was not entirely true, at least, the Chinese people I learned through the Internet were not like you."

Lin Lan said: "The Internet is not enough to describe all the phenomena in China, Your Majesty the King."

A complex expression of hesitation appeared on T'Challa's face.

"You can tell me whatever you want." Lin Lan could see the other party's hesitation, "If I tell you my secrets, it means that I trust you."

"I'm honored to accept this trust, Lin, I hope you don't find my next request very abrupt." He sat up straight, but if he could stand up, T'Challa would choose to stand up straight to address the lady. Invitation, "Would you like to immigrate to my country if you could?"
