Frowning, Steve looked at the fleeting figure with a hesitant expression.

In the battle at the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., the aircraft carrier spaceship was turned into wreckage and fell into the sea under Master Ye's ability.

Later, Steve, who woke up in the hospital, also learned from the mouth of the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who searched the scene that Bucky's body was not found.

Apparently, the Winter Soldier did not die with the crash of the aircraft carrier.

Steve's heart is extremely complicated about this result, but he is still glad that Bucky survived.

Even though, he still didn't recall his identity.

In fact, during this period of time, in addition to constantly tracking down the traces of Dior, Steve has not given up on the search for Bucky. As he said to Ip Man in the martial arts hall before, even if there is still a glimmer of hope, he will not give up, whether it is Bucky or Peggy.

Outside the international airport, Steve looked in the direction in which his back had disappeared, a look of hesitation on his face.

"What's wrong, Captain?"

Although she didn't notice what Captain America was seeing because of the angle, seeing the unusual look on Steve's face, Natasha was keenly aware of the situation.

"Nothing, I'm just ......"

In the face of Natasha's inquiry, Steve's face showed a little hesitation, he shook his head and looked at the concerned redhead in front of him, hesitated for a moment and finally told the other party what he saw: "...... I just seemed to see 'Bucky'. ”

"Bucky?"

Hearing Steve's name, Natasha's eyes flickered, and she quickly recalled the identity of the name.

Sgt. Bucky Barnes, Captain America's most trusted friend and comrade-in-arms, assisted Captain America on many dangerous missions, and fell and died during a manhunt.

Of course, the above is based on the records of the U.S. military in World War II and interviews with survivors involved in the hunt, in fact, judging from the latest battles, the former Bucky Barnes apparently survived that fall, and was brainwashed by Hydra's transformation into a dangerous element with a metal deformed arm.

Following Steve's gaze, Natasha looked at the back of the crowd that had become blank.

The slender eyebrows frowned slightly: "Perhaps, we need to calm down a little for a while, Captain, it is not yet possible to determine whether what you just saw is really 'Bucky' or simply your illusion, and even if it is really him, judging from the previous situation at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, we can't be sure whether he is good to you at this moment, or is still under the brainwashing of Hydra." ”

Although, Natasha gave plenty of reasons to persuade Steve to stay calm.

However, looking in the direction in which Bucky had disappeared, it was clear that Steve was unable to do what Natasha had hoped.

Looking up and glancing at the redhead in front of him, the originally hesitant expression on Steve's face immediately turned into a determined look: "I'm sorry, Natasha." ”

With a gentle apology, Steve didn't hesitate to take a step and rushed in the direction of the 'Bucky' he had seen earlier.

"I knew it was going to happen."

Looking at the back of Captain America rushing out, Natasha shrugged her shoulders, but the expression on her face did not show the slightest surprise.

Take a miniature device from your jacket pocket and place it behind your ear and tap it gently.

The next second, a familiar voice followed.

"Natasha?"

……

"Natasha may need to be a little later to get over."

Stark Industries, New Energy Building.

Agent Hill ended his communication with Black Widow and turned to Tony to report to him.

"There seems to be something wrong with the captain's side."

"Condition?"

He threw the small arm armor in his hand to the side of the workbench and picked up another document to cover it.

Tony breathed a sigh of relief out of sight and out of mind, and when he heard Agent Hill's report, he re-suppressed his emotions that were out of control because of Po's appearance: "What problem did they have?" ”

"The specifics are not clear."

Shaking his head, Agent Hill passed on what he had heard to Tony word for word.

"Natasha only said that the captain met an old friend and planned to catch up with the other party, which might delay a little time."

"Old friends? Up? ”

Far from making Tony understand what Agent Hill had reported, the look on his face became even more confused.

"Does the captain have any old friends?"

Tony's words didn't like it, but they did tell the truth.

As a veteran who only woke up again from a coma for 70 years in World War II, Captain America's old friends should theoretically have all been buried in the ground.

"In fact, the captain does have a few old friends."

Compared with Tony, Agent Hill has already reacted: "It's just that these old friends of the captain don't have a good relationship with him now." ”

"You mean ......"

Hearing Agent Hill's reminder, Tony also clearly felt a little bit of the situation, thinking about the relevant information he got from S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Hill, Tony's face just showed a hint of abruptness.

"Aaron!"

In the next second, the shrill voice of the old man on the sofa behind him startled the Iron Man.

When I turned around, I saw this old man who was full of energy holding a few black hairs in one hand, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Daddy just gave you a simple task, and you actually messed me up, I really don't know how the Foundation can stand you, and is willing to let you continue to help them contain items." ”

"Daddy, what did I do wrong again?"

Then Daddy's cynicism, the doppelganger [Uncle Long] replied with a familiar expression.

"Cat's hair."

Raising the light fluttering hair in his hand and dancing a few times, Dad still said with a puffed expression: "This is the most critical magic prop to prepare to find the [Mouse Charm] magic, Dad specially reminded you before, regardless of the black cat or white cat, the one who can catch the mouse is a good cat, so the magic props must use five hairs each of the black hair and the white cat to be able to exert the maximum effect of the search magic, why did you still bring me a few orange cat hairs mixed in it." ”

"I thought what you said was just a common saying, Daddy."

"Daddy doesn't have the heart to talk to you, so now take advantage of the time to find enough black and white cat hair for me again."

"It's not easy to find these mustaches, Daddy."

Hearing Daddy's order, the face of the doppelganger [Uncle Long] became bitter: "I have searched all over the trash cans near Stark Industries in order to find the cat fur you need, and now you have asked for two different cats, black and white, I alone can't collect enough hair too quickly, unless I ......"

As he spoke, the clone [Uncle Long] turned his head and focused his gaze on Tony and Agent Hill on the side.

Tony: "......"

Agent Hill: "......"

Both Tony and Agent Hill were slightly embarrassed by the clone's gaze, and they looked at each other for a moment.

They exchanged glances, trying to determine who was going to help.

"Sir."

Just then, Jarvis's voice came from the office, and luckily helped Tony get out of the predicament in front of him.

"Dr. Banner has arrived."

"Very well, get Banner over right away."

Hearing Jarvis' report, Tony breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered Jarvis.

"Am I too late?"

Seconds later, a slightly emaciated Banner appeared in the doorway of the office where everyone was.

Looking at everyone in the office, especially the father and the doppelganger [Uncle Dragon] who stopped for a moment, Banner blinked and sorted out his dusty clothes and asked.

"Actually, you're just in the right place, Doctor."

Looking at Banner who had arrived, Tony's face showed a faint smile, and he stepped forward to welcome the other party.

However, thinking of the dangerous big guy in the other party's body, he immediately stopped his steps and asked vaguely: "Doctor, are you in good physical condition at the moment?" ”

"In fact, I'm a lot better."

As a Ph.D. who has made great achievements in the field of research, Banner naturally knows the meaning of Tony's words: "During this time, I have been trying to find a way to control my inner emotions in India, although I can't completely restore my body to normal, but the practice of yoga has made me more peaceful than before, if you come to me a little more, I may have climbed the Himalayas by now." ”

"Yes, Doctor Congratulations."

As a member of the Avengers, Tony is naturally well aware of Banner's expectations.

From the first day Hulk appeared, he had been trying to find a way to eliminate the big green guy.

In fact, the hatred that appeared before was the monster that the other party accidentally created in the process.

However, judging from the results, Banner's approach was not successful, and although he had tried various methods, Hulk was like his sleeping self, and he could not eliminate it no matter what.

In desperation, Banner had to learn to get along with the big guy inside him while continuing to explore ways to suppress the Hulk. In fact, in addition to learning how to control his own mind as described by Tony, Banner also reconnected with Mr. Lan, who had previously worked together to produce a temporary suppression of the power in his body.

The other party also expressed the hope of making the serum again, and Banner was a little wavering in his heart.

On the one hand, it has always been his hope to get rid of the Hulk in his body, and on the other hand, his previous cooperation with Mr. Lan has succeeded in making a serum that suppresses the Hulk. However, it also led to the creation of Abomination, and as a result, Banner worries that if the serum fails again, he will turn himself into a more terrifying monster than the Hulk he is today.

At the same time, Banner hadn't been in contact with Mr. Blue for a long time since his previous hatred.

At this point, he is contacted again, and Banner wonders if there is a trap in it.

Once, as a scientific researcher, Banner may not have such a suspicious personality.

However, since the appearance of Hulk and the frequent pursuit process by the military, and the once simple Banner has become a careful enough existence.

In fact, if it weren't for Tony's contact through Agent Hill, Banner wouldn't have been willing to risk his way back to New York this time.

The U.S. military's pursuit of him didn't stop because Hulk became an Avenger.

Especially with the disbandment of S.H.I.E.L.D., Banner is very clear that the military, which was previously restrained under the suppression of S.H.I.E.L.D., is likely to start pursuing him again.

"So, this time, what exactly is the reason you asked me to come back to New York?"

Hiding his inner vigilance, Banner looked at Tony in front of him and asked, "Maybe you need the Hulk to make a big fuss?" ”

"Next, maybe there's a big guy coming out, but not now."

Right now, finding the Rat Charm is the crux of the matter, so Tony didn't just want Hulk to come out and wreak havoc.

"Actually, I have a lot of questions waiting for your help, Doctor, including some of the ideas we discussed about the 'Peace Plan' before, but the most important thing for now is that you need to help us do something as soon as possible, Doctor."

"No problem, if there's anything, just leave it to me."

Listening to Tony's tone, Banner could sense that what the other party was explaining should not be a simple matter.

So, pushing the glasses off his face, Banner said earnestly.

"Since the doctor understands, that's the best thing to do."

Hearing Banner's answer, Tony couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, made a relaxed expression on his face, and then spoke: "Then, I hope that Dr. Banner can help us find enough black and white cat hair together." ”

Banner: "......"

"I'm sorry, can you say that again?"

Because of Tony's words, he was unconsciously silent.

Banner took his eyes and wiped them, then asked again with some suspicion.

He wondered if he had misheard it just now.

"I hope you, Doctor, will help us find enough black and white cat hair."

Tony repeated the questioning glance at Banner.

"Trust me, Doctor, this may sound ridiculous, a joke, but it's actually the key to what we're going to do next."

"How do I feel, you're just kidding."

Listening to Tony's serious answer in front of him, for a moment, Banner regretted his decision to leave India and come to New York to help.

Isn't it good for me to go to the Himalayas when I have this time to come to New York?
