St. Luke's Church, Chelsea Borough, London, England.

Steve Rogers sat quietly in the back row of the church, his eyes blank and silent.

Margaret · Peggy Carter's memorial service had just ended, and he was left in the church to remember the best moments of his life.

He didn't even have anyone to talk to, and his contemporaries were basically dead.

Except for that one.

Natasha Romanoff quietly appeared behind the captain and did not make a sound to disturb.

But the captain noticed it.

"If you keep silent, I'll probably never find you, are you going to wait like this?"

"If you can't find me, then you don't really Steve Rogers, and I might give you a shot." Black Widow said, "Have you decided?" Are you going to stay here, or do you want to go with me to Geneva? ”

The captain stood up and looked face to face at the Black Widow with whom he had always had a good relationship.

He didn't quite accept that this heroine who confronted the congressmen in front of the congressional questioning and turned away in a dashing manner actually signed the "Sokovia Agreement".

"Who else signed?" The captain asked.

"Stark, Roddy, Vision."

The captain asked again, "What about Belle and the Queens boy?" ”

"Peter chose to quit the Avengers," Black Widow said, pretending not to notice the captain's surprised look, "Belle wasn't an official member of the Avengers in the first place, and the Protocol has nothing to do with them for the time being, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future." ”

The captain raised an eyebrow, "What about the future?" ”

Black Widow said, "I thought you already knew. ”

"Just to confirm," said the captain, "I've heard some rumors and made my own judgment, and the next step is to require all superpowers, including high-level combatants like you and Clint, to register their real names, otherwise they will be directly convicted as criminals?" ”

"I didn't expect you to know this level." Black Widow said.

"So it's all true? Does Tony also support this proposal? The captain asked, "What about you?" ”

"Stark should be determined to support all this, in fact, I don't object to it, anyway, I'm a S.H.I.E.L.D. person."

"It doesn't look like you," said the captain, "when will you bow down to power?" Besides, what about the others? No one has the right to directly decide the fate of all. ”

"It's not fate, it's like getting a driver's license, as long as you follow the rules, no one will be in trouble."

"Really?" The captain retorted, "Traffic regulations are made for traffic safety, but what are the "Sokovia Agreements" and the real-name registration system for? Natasha, once the agreement is signed, we have to give up all autonomy, and once the real-name registration system is implemented, everyone is under supervision, not only themselves, but also their families. ”

"And, who regulates it? S.H.I.E.L.D. infiltrated by Hydra, or the World Security Council played by Alexander Pearce? "Are these people more trustworthy than the Avengers, the heroes who have volunteered their lives to protect the safety of the public?" ”

Black Widow fully understood the captain's words, but she also heard something different, "Listen to you, you seem to know quite a few superpowers?" ”

The captain didn't hide it, he trusted Natasha, and despite the current different positions, he still regarded Natasha and even Tony Stark as friends. Be sincere to your friends.

"During this time, I've made a lot of new friends," he said, "and a couple of guys in Manhattan are good, New Orleans has two kids, and I help them out from time to time, and the last time Belle was in distress in Los Angeles, there were a lot of zombies and werewolves scattered around the neighborhood, and a few kids helped clean up those things and protect the surrounding residents." ”

Black Widow teased, "Looks like you're busy these days." ”

"Busy cleaning up the mess for S.H.I.E.L.D., CIA, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and so many big corporations out of nowhere." The captain said lightly, in what would have seemed earth-shattering to the vast majority, "When you're done cleaning up the mess, you'll understand why I'm questioning the regulation of all superpowers by a certain department." ”

"Natasha, we don't need to be supervised, what we need is to take responsibility for our own actions."

The Black Widow smiled noncommittally and said, "You have to be responsible for yourself, but you keep me busy." ”

"Did you find any clues?"

"Intelligence agencies around the world have been searching for him for decades and haven't found him, so you don't expect me to bring someone to you in a few days, do you?" "But according to my investigation, the person who attacked the crown prince of Wakanda doesn't quite look like the Winter Soldier. ”

Hearing this, the captain's eyes finally regained their brightness, "Is there any evidence?" ”

"No," said Black Widow, "it's just my speculation. I've had a few fights with the Winter Soldier, and I still know a little bit about his fighting habits and style, although he was born in the U.S. military, but that was during World War II, and the training content at that time was very different from now, and basically did not include hand-to-hand combat skills. So I'm guessing that his fighting skills were all learned from Hydra. ”

Captain America nodded, "That's right, he uses Filipino sword techniques, which include a bit of boxing and taekwondo techniques, as well as a bit of hand-to-hand combat techniques of the Israeli army." It is indeed different from the current US military fighting techniques. ”

"Since you think so, then you must be right," said Black Widow, "due to the urgency of the time, and the fact that the dead and wounded are all in Wakanda, I can only make some judgments from the photographs, the people who attacked T'Challa are more like the fighting techniques of the Navy SEALs, and in terms of attack position, shot strength, and body shape, there are also differences from the Winter Soldiers I know." ”

Black Widow showed the captain the photos of the dead and wounded, but the captain looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see too much fame. In terms of collecting and analyzing intelligence, the captain who was born in the military is much worse than the black widow who was born as a spy.

The captain asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"They have different habits of using guns, and the people of Wakanda have analyzed the traces on the warheads and cartridge casings they find, the rifling, the inscriptions on the cartridge casings, and the traces of the firing pin impact, which are very clear, and even the reserved ballistics information can be found in the records of the sale of firearms, all of which are American. However, the Winter Soldier used Soviet-made bullets, and even if he checked the rifling, he could not find information, and he must have replaced all his guns with barrels without information records. ”

"The body shape, technique, weapons and equipment and style of acting are all different, which is enough for me to judge that they are not the same person."

Listening to Black Widow's words, the captain was relieved, but he also had a faint sense of loss.

He hadn't seen Bucky since Washington, but he didn't want to believe that the same Bucky who had saved himself from the water would attack Wakanda's crown prince and convoy.

The loss is because, after all these years, there has been no news from Bucky, and he thought that this time there would be at least some clues to help him find his most important friend.

"So, the question now is, who's pretending to be Bucky? Why pretend to be Bucky? ”

"There aren't many people who can pretend to be him, aren't they?" Black Widow asked, "In fact, I can't think of a second person who could do it but you." ”

"I'll save the joke for later," the captain said solemnly, "You just said that the man used the martial arts skills of a Navy SEAL, then he probably served before, and if that soldier can do Bucky's level, it's definitely not an unknown person, and it can be easily narrowed down." ”

"yes, I can ask Sam to find a relationship to check it out," said Black Widow, "the question is, why is he asking to pretend to be the Winter Soldier?" Now that the whole world knows that Bucky Barnes has committed a major crime and is already wanted worldwide, will they want to find Barnes in this way? ”

"What can he do?" The captain asked, "Is he in possession of any secrets, or is he going to use him for something?" ”

"It may also be to use him to lure you out." Black Widow said, "Not many people know about your relationship with the Winter Soldier, but since this is not a secret within S.H.I.E.L.D., considering that there are hidden undercover agents around us, the possibility of this matter leaking out is still very high." ”

"Then I can't help it," the captain said firmly, "Bucky is my best friend, and even if they do set a trap for me, I'll have to break through." ”

"So the best thing to do is for you to find him before anyone else," said the Black Widow. ”

"Oh?" The captain was a little surprised, "I thought you were going to persuade me not to go." I acted on my own initiative and in clear violation of the Sokovia Agreement. ”

The Black Widow said seriously, "What can I do?" You're doing the right thing, as long as you can do it cleanly and don't make a fuss, I can pretend I don't know what you've done. ”

"Thanks," said the captain, "but I can't find Bucky on my own." ”

The captain took out his mobile phone and quickly sent out several messages.

Unlike Tony Stark, Iron Man has always tried to solve everything on his own, silently bearing all the pressure, even if the pressure makes him almost collapse, he still bears it alone. Accepting Peter's retirement and trying to persuade Belle and Wanda to give up their status as Avengers is all for the sake of not wanting the children to get involved in a complicated struggle. These things, even if they may crush him, he is willing to carry them down by himself.

And Steve Rogers, Captain America, is not a lone hero, but the spiritual leader of all America. He was able to maintain his fighting spirit in the most desperate circumstances, leading his comrades and partners to fight tenaciously for victory. He trusts the people around him, relies on the people around him, can gather the energy of all people, and represents the fundamental interests of the majority of the people in the most recognized way.

Because of this, the captain's friends are also willing to respond to his trust and do their best to help him.

Sam Wilson was quick to reply: I'll start looking into it as soon as possible.

There were many responses one after another, only Sharon Carter, who did not reply for a long time.

She didn't reply to the message on her phone because of her message, which she had to tell Captain America in person.

She rushed into the church in a hurry, and she was calm and reasonable, but she rarely looked flustered.

"Wakanda was attacked, and the Winter Soldier with five of his men assassinated Wakanda's king T'Chaka and Queen Ramanda, seriously wounding Princess Suri. The six of them made a big fuss, and under the siege and interception of the Wakanda army, they retreated, not even a single wounded. ”

"Impossible!" The captain exclaimed, "We were still saying that it wasn't Bucky who attacked T'Challa before, and we'll find proof." ”

"The evidence is conclusive," Sharon said solemnly, "and the palace's surveillance system has recorded a clear image of the Winter Soldier himself." ”

After hearing this, the captain fell silent again.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind.

"I'm going to Wakanda."
