Bucharest, Romania.

Bucky Barnes didn't deliberately hide himself, just lived an ordinary and low-key life.

As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent a thief. Although this does not correspond to his condition, the principle is the same.

Fortunately, only a handful of people in this world know the details of the Winter Soldier, Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.

After the fall of Hydra, the remnants of the people couldn't find him, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was too busy to search for him.

This allowed him to enjoy a stable life for more than a year.

Until recently, Wakanda issued a global wanted issue claiming that the Winter Soldier had assassinated the king and queen.

Naturally, the news reached Romania, and he also felt that the good days seemed to be coming to an end.

However, Wakanda is far away in East Africa, and since the imposter has just operated in Africa not long ago, the search operation will naturally be carried out with Wakanda as the center, and Romania will be safe for at least a few days.

Even so, in the spirit of caution, he hasn't been out for days.

In the past few days, he carefully planned the route and method of leaving Romania, carefully cleaned up all traces of his information in the rented house, and rested as much as possible, recuperated and prepared to run away.

Years of life as an agent have brought irreversible changes to Barnes, and he remains absolutely vigilant at all times, even in his sleep.

He heard footsteps in the living room, and his heart sank.

Neither the doors nor the windows sounded, and the first sound he heard was the sound of his feet on the tattered floor of the living room.

Barnes's doors and windows were old-fashioned hinges, and he had deliberately rusted them, making them crunch no matter how light he moved.

The old floor is also the reason why he chose to rent here, even if it is a cat, it cannot walk silently.

Seeing through the doors and windows, but knocking on the floor, Barnes already had his own judgment, the person who came was a veteran, but he hadn't practiced it yet.

He didn't act immediately, but pretended to be asleep to test the other party's reaction.

The person who came was Captain America, but it was Clint Patton who opened the door for him, because breaking into the door would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

But the floor would rattle, and the captain didn't care, he didn't mean anything, he just wanted to meet his old friend.

"Bucky, it's me, I know you're awake."

……

By this time, Tony Stark and Belle had also arrived in Bucharest.

The two went their separate ways, Stark went to join the war machine, who arrived first, and as soon as the news that Belle had persuaded the president and the secretary of state arrived, he immediately took the people of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers to safety, and the diplomatic department made urgent negotiations.

Belle crept up near Barnes' quarters, started "full stealth", and quietly entered Louis Wilson's hideout.

Louis was dutifully keeping an eye on the Winter Soldier's home, sitting quietly by the window, staring through a carefully camouflaged high-powered telescope at the apartment not far away, and everything that was happening around it.

"Louis, don't talk, don't move, it's me." Belle telepathically started a conversation with Louis, "You've been discovered, you don't have to do anything, just stay here, I promise you won't be in any danger." ”

Louis nodded slightly.

"The one on the roof, it's a falcon, his goggles are equipped with infrared cameras and night vision devices, you've been by the window, he's definitely noticed, but don't move, he won't be suspicious of you just because you're watching, you're not the only one watching around. I don't have to nod my head, just think about what I want to say, I can hear it. ”

"Yes, boss. I've gathered all the evidence you want, and the target hasn't left for the past few days, so it's impossible to go anywhere. ”

"I know, but I can't take care of that anymore, and I can't take you away now, and if you suddenly disappear, you'll be immediately alerted by the infrared detection of the surrounding falcons. I'm going to clean my eyes around here first, and when I give you a signal, you can pretend to be being chased by me and run away desperately, remember. ”

"Huh?" Louis was a little worried, "How could I possibly escape from you?" ”

"Either it's a real hunt or a pretense," Belle told him, "and it won't be clear if anyone else finds out that I've sent someone to spy on the Winter Soldier." Just pretend to be sent by an unknown force, even if it's me, it's impossible to catch everyone at once. I'll go first, stay safe. ”

Half a minute later, the falcon noticed anomalous activity at several targets.

These targets were all those he had already identified and sent by unknown forces to spy on the Winter Soldier. They began to move rapidly almost at the same time, only to stop abruptly after not moving far.

Infrared signals do not provide particularly high-resolution images, but the falcon can determine the likely condition of the target by its behavior patterns, and he quickly determines that all of them have been hunted down and are now dead.

"Attention, someone is coming," Sam immediately informed everyone of the situation, "Someone is cleaning up the surrounding watchers, either Stark or Belle, or both of them." ”

"It should be Belle," Clint replied, "if it was the tin can or Roddy, it would never have been so quiet, but they must have been around, and Vision must have been there." ”

"Wanda, can you hold them back?" Sam asked.

"I can't hold them all at once, and I can't stop any of them, Belle." Wanda is not reckless, at this time, we must seek truth from facts.

"Just hold off Vision as much as you can, and don't do it if you can," Clint said, "Sam and his friends can delay Stark and Roddy, and I've got Belle up against an opponent she can't win." ”

"Captain, you'd better hurry," Sam said, "and besides Stark, there's quite a few people approaching, probably S.H.I.E.L.D. or the CIA, or the Special Forces. ”

"I know." The captain replied, but his eyes were still fixed on Bucky.

The Winter Soldier didn't need his teammates to tell him anything, he already knew that although there was only one person in front of him, there was at least one regiment in ambush outside.

"I'm not going to go with you," Barnes said, "and you tell the people out there that as long as they don't get in my way, I'm not going to hurt anyone." ”

"I know," said the captain, "that you are not a man of evil. It wasn't you who attacked the crown prince of Wakanda in Korea, and it wasn't you who killed the king and queen. But now that you are wanted for these crimes, do you plan to hide in Tibet for the rest of your life with these charges on your back? ”

"Without this crime, can I live in the open?" Bucky asked rhetorically, "I'm not a Winter Soldier, but I can't be Bucky Barnes anymore, Bucky Barnes was dead seventy years ago when he fell from the train into the ravine. ”

"Come back to the United States with me, and I will do my best to help you clear all charges!" The captain said, "You're an American hero, whatever Hydra does to you, you're an American hero, you're not the Winter Soldier, you're Bucky, my best friend, Bucky." ”

"Go back to the United States to clear your name?" Bucky asked, "Steve, yes, I know who you are, I know you're Captain America now, but, don't be fooled by this name, the United States can't help me clear my name, but will not hesitate to hand me over in exchange for any little benefit they need." S.H.I.E.L.D., FBI, CIA, now they are no different from the Hydra of the past. ”

Through the captain's headphones, everyone heard the words.

"Captain," said Clint, "there's something wrong with that." ”

"Bucky, do you know something?" The captain asked, "Trust me, I'll help you no matter what happens to you!" Together, no matter what happens, we can't stop us. ”

"So what do we do?"

Tony Stark's voice suddenly came from the headphones, and their communication channel had been hacked by Stark.

Outside the window, the golden and red Iron Man armor slowly rose, hovering less than ten meters away from the captain and the Winter Soldier.

"If we find your old buddy, we don't care?" Iron Man asked, "Captain, do you know what you're doing right now?" ”

"I'm helping my friend," said the captain, "and I hope you'll do the same, help me, and don't embarrass me." ”

"Friends?" Iron Man said, "The friend you're going to help is being accused of killing the king and queen of Wakanda and is being wanted worldwide, and I, who am also your friend, am helping you and preventing you from going astray!" ”

"He was wronged." The captain said firmly.

"Even if he was wronged, you can't tear the Avengers apart because of this!" Iron Man said bitterly, "Look what you're doing!" Picked up Peter from school, kidnapped Wanda from base, and they're all kids! ”

"They're all adults! Tony, you should trust them, you should trust me, trust everyone at the Avengers, not just decide everything on your own! ”

"I believe in you!" Iron Man shouted, almost hoarse, "So now I'm here!" If I don't believe you, the special forces outside will swarm and they will be ordered to shoot on the spot! I beg you, come with me, hand over Barnes to the CIA, and I will fight with the World Security Council for you and Patton to do their private actions, and write them off. ”

"Tony, I also want to bring Bucky back to the United States," the captain said, "but not to the CIA, he's not a criminal, and for his safety, he has to be with me." ”

Iron Man sighed heavily, it seemed that the talks would not lead to anything.

"Man, since you're insisting that Barnes have to be with you, you can only be wronged to be with him for two days in the CIA. French girl, are the residents of the building empty? ”

"Do whatever you want," Belle said, having just used dozens of "space folds" to move an entire building to the hallway of the building on the other side, "whatever you want." ”

"One last warning! Captain, don't resist, come with us! ”

The captain took a lunge and shielded Bucky with his shield and body.

"It's a pretty shield," Iron Man teased, "but it's a pity it's too small to stop me." ”

As he spoke, dozens of discus-sized saucer-shaped flying objects had surrounded the building where the captain and Bucky were located, and with his command, all the small flying saucers simultaneously sent out ultra-high-frequency sonic attacks, shattering all the glass in an instant.

The captain and Bucky were so shocked by the sound wave that they could barely stand. This is also thanks to the fact that they have all been transformed, and their physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people, and if they were ordinary people, they would have been shocked and bleeding from the seven orifices, and their liver and gallbladder would have been shattered.

The captain stiffened his sonic attack and shouted, "Scott! Do it! ”

"Hold on, Captain," Scott Lang's voice reached the captain's headset and Iron Man's ears, "I've been on the move for a long time, but I haven't found out where his transmitter is yet, hold on!" ”

"Who's talking?" Iron Man asked, confused, "Friday, what's going on?" ”

"I am your conscience." Scott said, "I know, you think you have no conscience for a long time, but don't worry, I didn't abandon you, I just didn't bother to talk to you." ”
