[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

The cliffs on both sides of the canyon were as steep as a knife. Kelly walked forward for a while, only barely finding a small depression.She took out a bottle of orange juice and threw it to Bucky, and carefully dug the depression a little deeper with a magic spell, then piled the dug out stones on both sides of the hole, and fixed them with magic to form a small shelter from the wind.This small shelter is not very spacious. Kelly used magic to expand the internal space many times before squeezing out a mattress and a small stove, and the two of them squeezed together on a single mattress.

Kelly moved a bit, sat next to Bucky, and turned to look at him.The light inside was not bright, but it was still possible to see that his face was pale. After all, the blood lost earlier could not be replenished in a short time.Kelly had a thousand questions she wanted to ask him, a thousand things she wanted to say to him, but suddenly she couldn't speak at this moment, she just stared at him as if she could never get enough of it.

Bucky also stared at her deeply, both of them seemed to have suddenly lost the ability to speak, just staring at each other silently - when they first came back, they were too frightened, and then they were busy with treatment and finding shelter It wasn't until now that she had temporarily settled down that Kelly suddenly realized so strongly that she hadn't seen him for so long, so long...

They looked at each other silently for a while, as if they had suddenly returned to the age of seventeen or eighteen years old, and they didn't know what to say to each other.After a while, it was Bucky who spoke first: "What happened to your hair?"

As he spoke, he reached out and brushed Kelly's hair from one shoulder.Kelly turned her head and glanced. She would tie her hair up when she was on a mission, but it was loose before, so her light brown curly hair fell to her shoulders, but the hair on her left shoulder was missing a piece, and the burnt part was exposed. trace.

"Oh, nothing." She said casually.

Just died again.She kept this sentence in her heart and didn't say it, but Bucky seemed to have guessed it. "Does it hurt?"

"A little bit, soon," Kelly said. "What about you?"

"Well, can't say soon," Bucky said, "but it's gone now."

He showed such a sunny smile to Kelly, Kelly knew that he was fooling around, but still couldn't bear to continue asking this topic.

"I miss you so much." She said abruptly, resting her head on Bucky's shoulder, "I miss you so much, you just don't know how much I miss you—"

"I might know something." Bucky reached out to stroke her hair, then slid it down the side of her face, and inserted it into the hair behind her ear.Kelly raised her head and moved closer to him following the strength in his hand.

They exchanged a kiss tinged with orange juice.Bucky's kiss was completely different from ten years ago, with the smell of snow, blood and gunpowder smoke. The sweet, thick-tasting unique taste he used to have was pressed deep, but still keeping it.His fingers are cold, but his lips are warm.Kelly reached out and grabbed his back and the back of his head with both hands, pushing herself over desperately.They use each other's tongues to explore every inch of each other's mouths -- little tricks like this one that Kylie once trained to guide her effectively in her honeypot missions.In fact she's only been on one such mission, where she knocks him out before he can even kiss and steals the documents.But she still remembered these skills, and never put them into practice with such joy and satisfaction.

When they finally parted, they were both breathless from lack of oxygen and long-lost ecstasy—Kelly, who was enhanced with a super-soldier serum, was still breathless, which really speaks volumes.She looks at Bucky and knows she probably has the same dizzy smirk on her face.Their breathing rhythm calmed down quickly, and Kelly pressed on again, but Bucky pushed her away, frowning, seemingly using all his self-control.

"No—again I might lose control of myself and take the next step," he said, ears a little red, "and I really don't think this is a good place to take the next step."

Kelly laughed.Ten years seemed to have never passed, and they immediately returned to the feeling they had when they were together. "Okay, okay." She said, moving her body and rubbing outside a little, but still clinging to Bucky, "Then it's up to you to tell me what happened while I was away What—wait a minute, what year is it?"

It turned out to be March 1944, 3, a year and a half since her last "death".According to Bucky—he was also relayed by Steve—the agent managed to shoot Dr. Erskine before he died. Fortunately, there was only one bullet and it was not in the fatal part, so he was rescued in time.But the subsequent assassinations came one after another, so they used the excuse of protecting Dr. Erskine to successfully keep Steve in the laboratory, and served as Dr. Erskine's personal bodyguard-until a Hydra agent successfully stole Walked the Rubik's Cube.The German army quickly imitated a new weapon powered by the Rubik's Cube, and then Steve got the news that the 3th regiment was defeated and Bucky was captured.

In Hydra's dungeon, Bucky gave his Portkey to the wounded and dying soldiers in the cage at the other end, and used that ID card to rescue the fourteen most seriously injured men, but he stayed behind—— When Kelly heard this, she opened her mouth several times to say something, but in the end she just hesitated to speak and shook her head.To be honest, this incident was not very unexpected. After loving Bucky for so many years, she should have known that he was such a person.

Fortunately, Steve rushed over immediately and intercepted Bucky before they took him to the laboratory, saving hundreds of people.Among these people, he personally singled out a few people-the first members of the Howling Commando, and let them receive the injection of the modified serum.

"Reformed?" Kelly asked in surprise, "Why do you need to remodel? Didn't Steve and I succeed in the serum experiment?"

"Your work was successful." Bucky shrugged, his jaw clenched slightly, "but you were - turned into ashes on the spot, no, not even ashes were left. This really scared the researchers , you know. And there's no way they're going to kill Steve to find out if it's a side effect of the serum, or because you're a wizard or something—"

"I thought I already told you guys." Kelly frowned, "Didn't Steve tell them that my body disappeared because of my ability to time travel?"

"He didn't go into detail about it with me, but I guess they didn't believe him very much." Bucky frowned, "Anyway—while Dr. Erskine was still recovering, they had another An experiment, I heard it was the person who was originally selected, what's his name, Hodge? He... failed to survive."

"what?!"

"Okay, that's all Steve said, but then I secretly asked Peggy and Howard," Bucky said, "He didn't even survive the 70% intensity of the rays, so he maintained the 50% intensity. The radiation intensity passed the whole process. Of course, they were also very satisfied with the result, but later found that the lack of sufficient radiation exposure meant that the serum still played its remaining role in his body after the experiment, constantly strengthening him... that He was gutted. He looked like a burly man on the outside, but the inside was completely drained of serum. He died of multiple organ failure three days later."

"Oh my God," Kelly murmured.Of course she remembered Hodge in the movie, he was a jerk, yes, but—but he didn't deserve to die like this.

“So they thought the serum might still be too strong, and they wanted to make a milder version,” Bucky said, “So, me, a few others, and Peggy were the first batch—it worked. None of us are physically bigger than Steve, but..."

"How long has it been hurting?" Kelly asked interrupting him.

"Soon." Bucky's tone was casual and deliberate, "A few months..."

Kelly sighed softly and said nothing.Her own body ache symptoms lasted for a full eight months, and she was so happy when she woke up one day and found that she was no longer in pain.It's probably the same for Steve, and Bucky's time may be shorter, but it's something she can't help. "And after that?"

As she asked, she conjured up a small pot, filled it with snow water, threw in two packs of dehydrated vegetable soup, and put it on the camping stove.They finished the second half with vegetable soup and biscuits - naturally, these enhanced soldiers joined with Steve to form the Howling Commando.Then there was a second batch of serum injections, 23 soldiers selected by Steve and General Philip, including three female soldiers.This group of soldiers was also incorporated into the Roaring Commando, while the former Bucky, Dugan and others became the "core team members".However, the super-soldier project ends here-a very important ingredient in the serum comes from the power of the Rubik's Cube, which is far beyond what human technology can manufacture or copy at the moment.What these 23 soldiers received was already a milder version of the serum that had been diluted again. After that, the raw materials were exhausted. Howard and Peggy secretly arranged a fake death of Dr. Erskine, letting him and his wife use false identities Get a facelift and just disappear.

As for the roaring commando team that has been established, their experience is about the same as what Kelly already knows-destroying Hydra and Nazi strongholds everywhere, but this time the number of members has greatly increased, and the flexibility and speed of operations have been greatly accelerated. .In addition, Himmler's overall view and command ability were not as convincing as Hitler's after all, and the Nazi battle was even more difficult.It was not yet 1945, and they were almost on the verge of breaking into Berlin.

"...That's all, the rest of Steve knows better than me." Bucky said, "But you probably haven't been to the frontline command post where Peggy is - so you can't apparate..." He wrinkled Brows, "Steve must be worried to death, that fool always takes the blame on himself..."

"He knows you've been injected with serum, doesn't he?" Kelly said, gently pressing his arm to comfort him, "so he knows you won't die so easily, as long as the Howling Commandos don't have any urgent missions, he will definitely Where's the man who came to see you—Howard? He's at the front too?"

"You haven't been where he is." Bucky shook his head and sighed, "Well, it seems that we can only wait here-now it's your turn, Kelly, the world you went to what kind?"

"The world I went to was 2014," Kelly said, and Bucky's eyes widened. "70 years later? Isn't that the world you started with—"

"Yeah, it's very close to that time." Kelly said, feeling a little bit bitter.Although the age is so close, her life is completely different. No matter how many times she survives and how many people she saves, she will never go back to the time when she went to college carefree and the most courageous thing in life is to participate in the anti-war war. It's time to organize and launch various publicity activities.

But now, it's useless to think about it.Kelly brought that world through in a few words: "I will tell you about those things in detail later, but this is not the most important thing now." She said, her expression turned serious, "The important thing is the magical world I have been to— —that's the world Bill came from. There's a potion there that will make your left hand grow back."

Bucky looked at her in disbelief: "What?!"

The author has something to say: Since the potion can regenerate bones... I think the principle of regenerating flesh and blood is actually similar, right?

When HP7 Lupine treated George's ear, he once said that because it was a specific spell damage, there was no way to make it grow back.The implication in the words is that if non-specific black magic damage, the magic world seems to have a way to regenerate limbs.
