"Reno, Nevada more than a month ago"

The night was getting dark, and the two soldiers patrolling the playground were enthusiastically discussing which superhero they wanted to be. The slightly taller one wore glasses and looked gentle. A disapproving look: "Become the Hulk? I don't think that's a good idea, no one will date you!"

"That's not necessarily true, there are still people dating Ted Bundy." Another person spread his hands, obviously whether he can find someone to date is not the point of his choice: "Even if there is no girl, but think about how powerful the Hulk is when he gets angry, If the superior annoys you, just throw his house in the sky, that kind of rage and..."

His lively talk show was interrupted by Brother Sven, who pointed to the empty sentry box in front of him: "Where is Moffy, shouldn't he be on guard?"

The little man's face became tense: "Yeah, no, we have to report." As soon as the words fell, Brother Sven beside him was punched to the ground. The man rushed over, but before he had time to raise his gun, the man's dagger had already pierced his heart. When he had his last breath left, the masked man held his index finger to his lips, signaling him to keep silent.

The door of the room guarded and protected by the soldiers was kicked open. The girl in the room panicked holding the teddy bear in her arms, and even forgot to shout. The masked man stretched out his hand to her: "Listen, kid, if you If you don't make a sound, maybe you can still live..."

----------------------------------

The comfort level of the forest hut for hunters to temporarily stay is naturally incomparable with the high-tech Avengers Building. Iris, who barely adapted to the damp and not soft bed, closed her eyes tightly but couldn't fall asleep. She simply opened her eyes wide Looking out of the window, this unilaterally planned 'elopement' has killed many nights, and it should be the darkest period before dawn. The clouds blocked the moonlight, and the night light by her bedside became the only one within a few kilometers. bright.

A scream of pain broke the silent and cold night, the sound came from the next door, it was the Winter Soldier's room, Iris's heart tightened, she didn't have time to think, and rushed to his room with bare feet.Her small bedside lamp was too weak to see too far away, but luckily his room was on the other side of her door, she unscrewed the doorknob and groped forward, relying on each sleeping peacefully, she went to his room and glanced at it. In the approximate direction of the bed, she whispered his name while walking towards the direction of the bed in her memory in the dark.

The Winter Soldier turned on the light in the room, and the instant light made Iris squint his eyes, he was sitting on the bed covering his head, his breath was cold, Iris moved over in small steps: "Bucky, are you okay? "

He put down his hand on his forehead, his raised face was dripping with sweat, his bangs were all wet, Iris sat down beside the bed, grabbed the sleeve of her pajamas and gently wiped his face: "Did you have a nightmare?"

His breathing was still a little rough, he only took her hand and locked Iris tightly in his arms, his body trembled a little, Iris wanted to pat his back, but both hands were trapped on his chest I couldn't move forward, so I had to let him hug me, and talk to him in a soft voice: "It's okay, it's just a nightmare, it's all fake..."

"It's not fake." His voice was low and depressed, and she had never heard his tone.

Iris's hand on his chest lightly stroked his beating heart: "Then tell me, what did you dream about?"

"West Berlin club jeep back to base, UN | diplomatic talks in Cairo, General James Kyle at NATO, French |

Iris tilted her head anxiously in his arms: "What happened to them?"

"I killed them." He could feel the person in his arms stiffen a bit, and he relaxed his arm and waited for her to push him away, but she didn't.

"Are they all bad guys?"

"I don't know, they are missions given to me by Hydra."

Iris looked up: "But Hydra..."

Winter Soldier: "That's the real bad guy."

Iris looked surprised and confused, she sat up straight and left his arms, the feeling of emptiness when she woke up from the nightmare came back, the Winter Soldier turned his head and didn't dare to look her in the eyes: "You don't remember, neither did they Tell you again, my 70 years as a killing machine."

He didn't know if Iris wanted to hear it, and how he would react after listening, his dark side, he shouldn't hide: "You disappeared at the bottom of the cliff, I was captured by Hydra, it turns out that I am not like It looks so good, their experiments and confinement quickly destroyed my will, they instilled ideas in me, and trained me into a machine... Your appearance there became my first task, and I subconsciously wanted to refuse, But the voice in my head kept repeating the order, and I watched them charge at you..."

Iris didn't know what would happen if she was asked to hurt Bucky herself when she was in a state of confusion, but this incident almost broke the person telling the story in front of her, and that was enough, there was nothing in the world that he did that she couldn't forgive , she took his hand again and pressed it to her face: "I'm here, those are all in the past."

His hands were tightly clenched into fists, and he didn't let go when he was pressed against her face: "I know that brainwashing will make me lose something, but my brain tells me that I can't resist. I perform every task requested by Hydra, and I use The fighting skills the army taught me kill my former comrades, kill those innocent people, then fake it as an accident, leave no clues, I remember all the details, I'm told it's for the betterment of the world, But actually……"

"I am a sinner."

"You're not." Iris crossed his face with both hands and looked into his eyes: "You're not, what's really wrong is Hydra, you, you were just abandoned by fate for a while." A full 70 years, 70 years The loneliness and the life of a puppet. Iris knelt on the bed, and gently hugged his head into her arms: "It's been a long time... Fate will compensate you."

"The one who should pay the price is me." He closed his eyes in her arms.

"Then make some compensation. You can help more people. When you save more people than you hurt, then although the dead can't be resurrected, you have at least done what you can. I don't think so." Know what to say, do you know what I mean?"

The Winter Soldier didn't say a word, and Iris stroked his hair gently. This was her favorite movement for her mother when she was a child. It made her feel very comfortable and safe, and she wanted to pass this feeling on to him.

"Actually, you have already started to do that. You rushed to Natasha's mission last time. We can try to contact Nick Fury who assigned the mission. I think you will have a lot to do. But remember what you promised me , not to be injured."

Thinking about it, it seems unreliable: "Forget it, just don't get seriously injured..."

But it depends on who can tell the difference: "No, I want a condition, no matter what task you have to take me with you, even if I can't help you, at least I can heal you when you are injured, that's it. "

The Winter Soldier was finally moved: "I haven't even completed that task."

Iris raised her eyebrows: "Wow, that person is so powerful?"

Winter Soldier: "I arrived too late, he was already trying to escape in a helicopter, I chased him for a while, and was knocked off the hillside by the tail..."

Iris looked down at him speechlessly, it turned out that's how the injury came about.

The Winter Soldier bowed his head: "Do you want me to make amends?"

"Atonement? That's right. Pietro said that people are born with sins. Afterwards, Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross and shed his blood to atone for the sins of the world, so that the world can be saved from original sin. If I don't believe in Jesus, no one can redeem my original sin. It just so happens that I can atone with you."

The soft taste of her body and gentle voice slightly soothed his uneasiness, fearing that the void created by her leaving would be filled again by her nagging voice, he was guilty, and she would face it with him, fate really I gave him compensation, but...

"He still told you about original sin? What else did he talk about?" He raised his head from her arms, thought for a while and put it back down again. His arms that were hanging on his sides also raised up to encircle her.

Iris is very familiar with this tone, her goal of diverting his attention has been achieved, but in a direction she doesn't want to develop: "Uh, little prince..."

"what is that?"

"Uh, French literature?"

"France?"

Sure enough, he is a little hooligan with ulterior motives...

In the chaotic night of a small town hundreds of kilometers away, a man and a woman were in a hurry. The man turned his head and sneezed, and quickly raised his head to look around: "Are you sure, Wanda?"

"Trust me Pietro, I see it in Stark's mind, and he's going to create his own nightmare."

Their destination was an abandoned church. As soon as they entered the door, a metallic voice came from the chairs with their backs facing them from the middle of the church: "Do you know, this church is in the middle of the city, long The founders built the church here to bring everyone as close to God."

Wanda took two steps forward and carefully observed the 'person' who was speaking in front of him, while his speech continued: "This is very good, conveying information through geography... Stop trying to read my mind in vain."

The 'man' in front of him stood up suddenly, and the red cloak on him fell to the ground. The nearly two-meter-high robot walked down the middle steps, startling both of them.

"A new journey has begun, but before we start, we need something."

Wanda and Pietro returned to the tower that gave them superpowers again, and she looked at the unfamiliar walls with some surprise: "These are..."

Ultron: "It's all me. I have something the Avengers never had - harmony. They are disorganized and disciplined and unrelated to each other. Stark's behavior should have given them internal strife. If you can get into other people's heads ..."

Coming back here made Pietro very unhappy: "Isn't your plan to kill them?"

Ultron: "Make them martyrs? Don't worry, you have to see a bigger goal."

Pietro: "I don't have any big goals, I just have a few small wishes, and I take them out every day, every day."

Ultron: "You lost your parents in the war, I have read the information."

"The nuclear bomb with Stark's name on it killed my parents and nearly killed us. For two days, we waited for Stark to kill us."

"Every brick lifted by the rescuers felt like it was going to touch that bomb... I knew exactly what they were."

"And Anya, the Avengers have her trapped where I can't go, in that mansion."

Wanda's face showed some guilt: "Pietro..."

Ultron tilted his head: "Anya? I haven't seen this person's information, you said she is in the Avengers Building?"

Wanda patted Pietro on the shoulder: "Maybe you're familiar with what they call her, Iris."

Ultron raised his chin and said, "Iris..."

The author has something to say: Tedbundy: American serial killer, one of the archetypes of the Silence of the Lambs character, confessed to committing more than 30 murders, but the full number of victims is unknown, estimated to range from 26 to 100. (In other words, is the number of people on Baidu Encyclopedia really okay?)

The masked man and girl will continue in the next chapter.
