Chapter 839: A Time That Doesn't Belong to Him
The rhythm of Rogers' breathing followed his heart, and the anger that was full of anger just now had vanished, and all that was left was panic.
Stark knew that his best friend was the murderer of the Howards, so when did he know? When attacking the Trident HQ?
According to Stark's character, he will definitely hack into the data center to get some information that he is interested in, that is, he may have found the black-and-white surveillance video there, so as to understand that his parents did not die in a car accident, but were assassinated, and the assassin was still Bucky.
Rogers' breathing became heavy, and he looked at the elevator door in front of him, which was bright enough to be used as a mirror, and for the first time he felt at a loss, even more panicked than when he used fake information to join the army.
Howard is his friend, providing him and the Roaring Commandos with all kinds of advanced weapons, and after he crashes into the North Pole, he has been looking for him for a long time, and Bucky is his close friend since he was a child, helping him chase away the bullies who have always helped him chase away the bullies, so to speak, brothers who share life and death.
But now, his brother killed his friend, and his friend's son knew this, Rogers convinced himself with 'Bucky was controlled by Hydra at the time, it wasn't his will', and now he has to convince himself again with 'Rod was doing his duty, and it wasn't his will to kill Bucky'.
"Do you think a person who made a mistake without knowing it deserves to be forgiven?" Rogers' voice repeated Stark's words in an extremely weak voice, he was thinking seriously, standing from an objective point of view, 'Those who don't know are not guilty', but for the person concerned, no matter what reason you have, you killed my parents.
The elevator of the Avengers Building descended quickly, and before Rogers could come up with a reason, he had already arrived at the underground parking lot, the elevator door opened, and Rogers walked out of the elevator with heavy steps, and the soldiers behind him pressed prisoners wearing shackles, blindfolds, and even their mouths were gagged, and got into a black SUV, and the back seat was transformed into a one-seat cage.
Once it was determined that all the criminals were in the car, six black cars started up and drove out of the secret passage of the parking lot connecting the Avengers Tower to the underground station and merged into the traffic. Rogers, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and looked through the rearview mirror at the Avengers Building farther and farther away.
Won't be here again in the future.
It's not just that Stark is not welcome, but also because there are two people in it that he can't face with a normal heart, one is Stark as a victim, and the other is Rhodes as a murderer.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is pretty good, too." Rogers comforted himself and said that the new director Coulson respected him very much, did not engage in division management, and informed Rogers, who was the captain, in detail about any tasks, and did not hide a little, and Coulson was also a good person.
Unlike Nick Fury's strong advocate of crime-prevention insights, Coulson wants S.H.I.E.L.D. to return to its roots, which is to save and protect good people from harm.
In contrast, S.H.I.E.L.D. does suit him well, so be it.
"I'm sorry, Stark; Sorry, Bucky! Rogers closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, all the negative emotions such as confusion and sadness were gone, and only the resolute, resolute, and fearless Captain America remained.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is in a stormy time, and Captain Rogers, as the only benchmark, must not fall, he must stand up straight and use his influence to hold up a piece of the sky for S.H.I.E.L.D.
For the sake of S.H.I.E.L.D., Rogers can be said to have sold himself, and asked the Pentagon to return the seized S.H.I.E.L.D. planes and issue flight permits on the condition of helping the military shoot recruitment advertisements; By making educational videos such as teaching elementary and middle school students not to lie and be brave, Rogers wants to endorse the government, just like he once bought war bonds, so that the White House will continue to support S.H.I.E.L.D. and push Congress to fund S.H.I.E.L.D.
His sacrifice was very effective, the White House has approved the return of S.H.I.E.L.D. to normal work, and for the time being, it can only carry out the task of fighting Hydra, and the Pentagon has also contacted S.H.I.E.L.D. to discuss how to deal with the large number of advanced weapons and equipment that S.H.I.E.L.D. possesses.
Everything is going in a good direction, except for Rogers himself, who wakes up alone after seventy years, his lover is old, his friends are gone, and he finally finds out that his best friend Bucky is still alive, but not long after they met, they died again.
Rogers felt stronger than ever that he did not belong to this era, and that his friends and lovers had been left behind seventy years ago.
He should have been in the technologically backward and wolf-ridden 40s of the twentieth century, where the whole world was at war, but with weapons that he could understand, and he was the most unscientific...
Thinking about it, Rogers was distracted, and for the first time he thought about how good it would be for him to bring a parachute plane to the Red Skull, so that he would not be frozen for seventy years, and he would be able to go back to that dance agreement, toast the victory with his comrades in the Roaring Commando, and then form a happy family with her, and when he was old and weak, he would tell the children the story of his heroic battle against Hydra.
Just thinking about it, the car suddenly stopped, Rogers immediately woke up, and his right hand subconsciously touched the vibranium shield on the right side, and then saw the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo on the wall in front of him, and he had returned to the underground parking lot of the Trident headquarters.
After getting out of the car and getting on the elevator, Rogers realized that it was already sunset outside, and it was still noon when they set off from the Avengers Tower.
'Ding-dong! ’
The elevator door opened, and before I could step out, I saw Romanoff, dressed in black leather clothes, come out of Coulson's director's office, smiled at Rogers, and said, "Oh, I'm back so soon, didn't Stark leave you for lunch?" ”
"He still wants to keep me as a secretary."
"Damn, this guy remembers."
"There's a lot to forget." The melancholy in Rogers' words made Romanoff frown, a little curious about what happened to Rogers at Stark, and how he had become so decrepit.
But this is not the time to ask, Romanov pointed to the luxurious door not far away, and said, "The director is waiting for you." ”
"Thank you!"
Pushing the door into Coulson's office, Coulson, who was sitting at his desk dealing with S.H.I.E.L.D. affairs, stood up, greeted him warmly, and took the lead in reaching out to shake Rogers' hand, and said, "Good work." ”
"The senior cadres of Hydra have been brought back, here is the list." Rogers said as he pulled out the microcomputer from his forearm and handed it to Coulson.
Coulson casually put it on his desk, then picked up a folder, handed it to Rogers, and said: "This is the information collected so far about the assassination of the president, according to the confession of the driver of the transport truck, they did load a body bag into the car, but after arriving at the destination, they opened the rear compartment and found that it was missing." ”
Rogers opened the folder, quickly skimmed through the information inside, and said, "That means someone did it on the way." ”
"It may also be that the contract was transferred in the hospital, and the driver and porter will not open the body bag to see it." Coulson offered another speculation.
Rogers nodded, stuffed the materials in his hand back into the folder, prepared to take them back and study them carefully, and said very sincerely, "Thank you." ”
"Sergeant Bucky is a member of the Roaring Commando Team and contributed to the victory in World War II, and it stands to reason that what should be done for him, S.H.I.E.L.D. will continue to investigate until he is found." Coulson's tone was still so gentle, but it could give people a different feeling.
"Thank you!" Rogers didn't know what to say except for this, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, Bucky Barnes was the notorious Winter Soldier, who had carried out many assassinations and killed many people at his hands.
Only Coulson, in the name of fighting Hydra, continues to investigate the disappearance of Bucky Barnes' body, although there has not been much progress so far, but both of them feel that it must be the ghost of Hydra, as long as they continue to exterminate Hydra, sooner or later they will find out.
Thinking of this, Rogers thought that in the information provided by Stark, there was a superpower, and immediately informed Coulson, thinking that it might be related to Hydra's super soldier program, and Bucky was the product of the super soldier program, so maybe it was related.
Coulson nodded and said, "I know, immediately arrange for someone to ask him first, captain, go back and rest, everything will be fine." ”
"yes, it's going to be fine."
In the Avengers Building, the three Rhodes on the sofa witnessed Stark's targeting of Rogers throughout the whole process, and they spoke with guns and sticks, as if they had met the enemy, and the three people who listened looked at each other, not understanding how Rogers provoked Stark.
The first time they met on the Helicarrier, Stark, who was affected by Loki's scepter, didn't have such obvious cynicism, and it made the two of them almost play real PK, and now like this, aren't you really afraid that the captain will slap him in the face with a shield?
It wasn't until the elevator door closed that Stark's words made the two of them understand a little, Rhodes thought that he had killed Bucky by mistake, and Grell felt that Stark had finally hinted at the truth about his parents' deaths.
Only Banner, with a confused face, didn't understand when Rogers and Stark got into a feud? How did they meet each other and make it look like a duel, so he almost took out his white gloves and threw them on the ground.
The elevator had already gone down, but Stark was still standing still, and under the watchful eye of the 'watch the excitement' trio, he turned around and wanted to walk to the bar, but he only turned halfway, and he was crooked to the side, if he hadn't held on to the wall in time, he was afraid that he would have fallen, and even then he slid down the wall until he sat on the ground.
"Stark?" The three of them jumped up from the sofa at once, and hurriedly rushed to Stark, and Greel, who was the fastest, had already arrived in front of Stark when he was just sitting on the ground, half-kneeling on the ground, and asked in a panic, "Are you okay?" ”
He was followed by Rhodes, whose anxiety was written on his face, and said eagerly: "Where is the injury?" ”
"No, I... I'm fine..."Stark said intermittently, breathing like a bellows, his hands clutching at the wall, trembling all over, and muttering, "God, what should I do?" ”
"It's... This... What's going on? Grell looked at Stark, who was as frightened as if he had seen a ghost, and was a little at a loss.
"He had an anxiety attack." Banner crouched in front of Stark and hurriedly said, "Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, follow my rhythm, take a deep breath, you're safe, we're all here, safe, and there are no enemies." ”
Rod hesitated for a second, turned around and ran to the bar, grabbed a bottle of wine, ran back, handed it to Stark, and said with a complicated expression: "It will make you feel better." ”
Stark grabbed the bottle and raised his hand to pour it into his mouth, but the wine was all over his mouth, but it ran down his cheeks, soaking the expensive handmade suit, and not much went into his mouth at all.
Suddenly, Stark raised his hand and threw the bottle out, then wrapped his arms around his shoulders, his trembling body was about to shrink into a circle, Banner motioned for Gorrell and Rhodes to move away, and he used the softest voice possible to make Stark take a deep breath and breathe to his rhythm.
Greel, who stood far away at the doctor's command, was the first time he saw Stark's anxiety attack, which was much more serious than in the movie, and Stark looked like a child who met a ghost while walking in the middle of the night.
Rod whispered to the side, "You know how serious it is now." ”
"He really should see a doctor." Grell sighed and said, "I'll go to the doctor I know in a moment and ask him to come up with an idea." ”
"I found a way to contact Dr. Zhao and get her team to come early."
The two of them discussed in a low voice how to get the medical team in place as soon as possible, but instead of ignoring the vision plan, they would first give Stark a comprehensive treatment plan, and his anxiety must be solved as soon as possible, and nothing else matters.
After a while, Stark quieted down, but he was still panting violently, obviously not completely calming down, Banner beckoned, and Rod helped Stark back to his room and had a good night's sleep.
When the two brothers walked away, Banner said with a lot of unpleasantness: "Maybe Stark should learn from me, I have mastered many ways to calm down in those years, maybe it will be useful for him." ”
"You can give it a try." Greel is a little sick and rushed to the doctor at the moment, no matter what home remedies, try it first to see if it has any effect, it is better than doing nothing.
Banner thought about the situation of the four of them and laughed at himself, "We are a really good match as a team, and everyone has a lot of problems. ”
He himself has the big trouble of Hulk, and he has not solved it for more than ten years, so he has lost too many things, love, family, and work are all gone, and even his desires must be suppressed, otherwise it will be easy to have accidents.
Grell hesitated for a moment, and said, "Perhaps, you shouldn't treat the Hulk as a problem. ”
"What?" Dr. Banner was stunned, with a 'you're kidding me' expression.
