While Nick Fury was considering forming a special unit for S.H.I.E.L.D., the U.S. military was doing the same.

On the outskirts of Washington, D.C., a well-guarded prison has been built beneath an ordinary-looking farm. This prison is actually not very large, and it can only hold about 100 people at full capacity, but the number of guards here is a whole infantry regiment, 1,500 people in three shifts, guarding this prison day and night.

At this time, in a cell in the prison, Stryker was wearing a prison uniform, sitting quietly on a stool, looking at General Ross opposite, with a calm expression, no sadness or joy.

After staring at each other for a long time, it was General Ross who finally spoke, breaking the silence: "Colonel Stryker, according to your charges, murdering a military general and illegally detaining and researching mutants against military orders are enough for you to stay in this prison for a lifetime." ”

Hearing General Rose's words, Stryker suddenly laughed, and said with a little mockery: "General Rose, I'm afraid you're not here to talk to me, right?" If you have anything to say, you can just say it, you don't need to intimidate me with any charges, my Stryker has been fighting for the safety of the American people all my life, even if I am found guilty now, but in the history books a hundred years later, there will inevitably be my Stryker's name, at that time, I Stryker is an American hero! ”

Hearing Stryker say this, General Ross was slightly unhappy, frowned, and secretly said that Stryker didn't know each other, and he had reached this point, and he still refused to let go of his ridiculous pride.

However, General Ross also understands that there is still a place to use Stryker, although he is a little dissatisfied with Stryker's arrogance, but he still said with a pleasant face: "Colonel Stryker's ideals I know very well, mutants are indeed a huge security risk in our country, and ordinary people like us do need means to be able to balance mutants." ”

Although he had only been in this prison for three days, Stryker was already very disgusted with this life of doing nothing and not seeing the light of day, and if he had the opportunity to leave here, Stryker would definitely seize this opportunity at all costs. And now, Stryker knows that his opportunity has come, as a major general of the army, General Ross will not come to this prison for no reason to say such a thing to himself, Stryker knows that General Ross must have taken a fancy to his research results, or rather to himself as a person, and hopes that his research can continue.

Stryker's guess is right, General Ross is indeed very optimistic about his research, the military has more than a dozen research topics on super soldiers, but so far, only Colonel Stryker's X weapon program has achieved good results. General Ross is here today for Stryker's research.

"Colonel, we don't talk darkly, I hope you can continue your research, continue to help the military create super soldiers, and in return, this prison will be yours in the future, whatever you want."

"Prison? Is there anything special about this prison? ”

Continuing his research at the request of the military did not surprise Stryker, but he did not understand why General Ross specifically mentioned the prison.

Looking at Stryker's puzzled eyes, General Ross smiled and replied, "The colonel doesn't know, the people in this prison are not ordinary people, they are all criminals with special abilities, there are mutants, and there are also some superpowers. And now, the criminals in this prison will become your experiments, and the military has only one request, and that is to develop a way to produce super soldiers as soon as possible! ”

I see, Stryker nodded, not too surprised, he could intern mutants on Three Mile Island for experiments, so it was normal for those generals in the military to do the same.

And General Ross's words reminded Stryker that for a long time, Stryker had only used mutants as experiments in the X Weapon Program, and had been committed to using mutants to eliminate mutants, but he ignored that in this world, in addition to mutants, there are many people with special abilities. These people, perhaps because of an experimental accident or some other reason, also possess supernatural abilities. Stryker has a hunch that perhaps these superpowers can further refine their Weapon X program and create a more powerful mutant killer than Deadpool on Three Mile Island.

"I also need my son, Jason, the kid on Three Mile Island, frozen in my lab." Stryker's tone was unsentimental, as if he were referring to an ordinary tool.

General Ross had already anticipated Stryker's request, and he had also investigated the grievances between Stryker and his son, and thus understood why Stryker hated mutants so much.

Nodding, General Ross said, "Your son will be sent to this prison today, still in a frozen state. I don't need to say much about your son's danger, I hope you have to be careful, I don't want everything here to be controlled by mutants. ”

Unbeknownst to Bucky in New York, Stryker had regained his new lab in just a few days. In Bucky's opinion, it would take at least a year and a half for Stryker to be re-accepted by the military and start his research, and wait for the Three Mile Island incident to gradually become forgotten. It's just that Bucky didn't expect that Stryker would run into a general who was even more enthusiastic and crazy about super soldiers - General Ross. It's hard to imagine what kind of sparks will be created when these two people, who are also passionate about studying super soldiers, come together!

The day after meeting Coulson, Bucky receives another call from him.

"Mr. Barnes, I'm Phil Coulson, whom I met with you yesterday."

Coulson's voice was as warm as ever, as if he were an old friend, but Bucky frowned slightly, in fact, he didn't want to have too much contact with S.H.I.E.L.D. However, it was obviously impossible to hang up the phone, and Bucky believed that if he hung up the phone, Coulson would be able to come to the door in less than ten minutes.

"Agent Coulson, what do you know, I haven't hacked into your S.H.I.E.L.D. network again."

"That's right, Mr. Barnes, there's an old friend of yours who wants to meet you and catch up with you."

Coulson's words surprised Bucky, he really doesn't have many old friends, and he may be at least seventy or eighty years old if he can live until now, and S.H.I.E.L.D. found these old antiques to meet him, I'm afraid to determine his true identity. It's just that Bucky is a little hesitant, do you want to meet this old friend? If identities are confirmed, what will S.H.I.E.L.D. do towards itself?
