The sound of breaking the air hit, and all Baji could do was to lean back, and a feathered arrow flew in front of Bucky with a "whoosh". Bucky stretched out his hand like lightning, and the next moment, the feather arrow was caught in his hand, and when he took a closer look, this feather arrow only had an arrow shaft made of unknown materials, and there was no arrowhead.

Feathered arrows without arrows naturally can't hurt others, and Bucky immediately understood that this was probably another temptation by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Looking at this feather arrow, Bucky frowned slightly, and with a flick of his hand, the feather arrow flew back in the direction it came. The next moment, the sound of cups and plates clashing sounded not far away, and it was obvious that Bucky's feathered arrow had caused a lot of trouble to others.

It's just that what Bucky didn't expect was that after he threw the feather arrow, the people at the tables who were eating around him immediately took out their pistols from their arms and aimed them at Bucky.

"Agent Coulson, that's a bit unkind." First being attacked with arrows, and then being pointed at gunpoint, Bucky expressed his displeasure, and the tone of his conversation with Coulson became much colder.

Coulson, however, smiled and waved at the people around him, who immediately returned to their seats and continued their meal as if nothing had happened.

The commotion on Bucky's side was not small, and it immediately attracted the attention of others in the distance of the restaurant, but some people dressed as waiters immediately stepped forward to calm the guests, so that there was no disturbance in the restaurant.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is really wealthy, and when I meet with old friends, there are more than a dozen agents as bodyguards. And the price of this restaurant is not low, is it not low, will S.H.I.E.L.D. reimburse the dining expenses of these dozen agents? And those waiters, who are also disguised as agents of your S.H.I.E.L.D., have you gotten the consent of the owner of this restaurant? Bucky sat back in his seat, and asked Coulson with a hint of sarcasm.

At this time, even Peggy Carter on the side looked at Coulson a little unkindly, obviously Coulson did not inform her of this action, which caught her a little off guard.

However, Coulson still had a smile on his face and said, "We don't have any malicious intent, it's just that the feather arrow that Mr. Barnes just threw back caused these people to have a misunderstanding, it's just a misunderstanding!" ”

"Misunderstanding? Just to meet an old friend, there are so many agents around, it seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. really doesn't trust me, which really makes my old friend sad! Taking a sip of the drink in front of him, Bucky said with a pretended sadness.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Barnes, although your explanation just now can make us S.H.I.E.L.D. temporarily believe in your identity, but to be honest, you still have reservations about S.H.I.E.L.D., and even some information that is more important than your identity, so S.H.I.E.L.D. has reservations about your trust." Coulson shook his head, as if he didn't approve of Bucky's approach, and said bluntly: "For example, Mr. Barnes, where did you learn your hacking skills, and for example, from the reaction speed when you caught the arrow just now, it seems to be much stronger than when you roared at the commando, I wonder if Mr. Barnes can solve the puzzle for us?" ”

Regarding his hacking skills and strength, of course, Bucky would not tell Coulson the truth, but just nodded, agreed with Coulson's statement, and said: "You are right, S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot fully trust me, and similarly, I have reservations about your trust in S.H.I.E.L.D. It would be great if you could make sure that the well water does not interfere with the river water. ”

"Trust can be built, Barnes! S.H.I.E.L.D. is an organization you can trust, and it continues the spirit of Steve, and since the end of World War II, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been secretly maintaining world peace. ”

Peggy Katra held Bucky's hand and said in a somewhat agitated tone, in her eyes, S.H.I.E.L.D. was like her child, the fruit of her life's struggle. Now that her friend from fifty years ago has reappeared, Peggy Carter hopes to pull Bucky onto S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicles, so that the current Bucky can continue to fulfill his own wishes and continue to integrate the spirit of Captain America.

Bucky shook his head, but didn't refute Peggy Carter's words. Now Peggy Carter is not young, and Bucky doesn't want her to know that S.H.I.E.L.D., which she has fought for all her life, has completely deteriorated, and this kind of blow is probably not something Peggy Carter can bear.

Pulling out the hand that Peggy Carter was holding, Bucky directly said goodbye, saying, "Although some parts of today's old friends gathering are not satisfactory, I am very happy to see Miss Carter again. It's not too early, so I'll take my leave, and I'll have time to have coffee with Miss Carter later. ”

Bucky did not mention Coulson or S.H.I.E.L.D., and only expressed his willingness to continue his relationship with Peggy Carter as a friend, but did not want to have too much friendship with S.H.I.E.L.D.

But Coulson obviously didn't want to let Bucky go like that, and got up and grabbed Bucky, who was about to leave, when a figure appeared next to Bucky, blocking Bucky's path away.

Looking at Bucky's slightly annoyed eyes, Coulson said with a smile: "Just like Carter's predecessor said, trust can be established, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is willing to gradually establish a relationship of mutual trust with Mr. Barnes." ”

And the person who blocked Bucky's way had a proud expression, as if Bucky owed him two hundred yuan, and said with his head held high: "That arrow just now was shot with a small bow, and the speed is very slow, so I will carry you to catch it, if you use my longbow, you will definitely not be able to catch that arrow!" ”

At this time, Bucky looked at the person who spoke, fifteen or sixteen years old, with short blond hair standing up high, plus an exaggerated sunglasses, living like a delinquent teenager. It's just that the bad boy at this time is a little embarrassed, and the placket on his chest is soaked with an unknown soup, and there are even two noodles stuck to his clothes.

"This is Patton, Clint Patton, he shot that arrow just now, just to test your strength." Coulson introduced Bucky.

"You can call me Hawkeye, too!" Clint Barton proudly uttered his nickname, which he probably preferred.

It turned out to be Hawkeye, which should be the first Avenger Bucky knew. It is unimaginable that young Hawkeye turned out to be like a delinquent teenager, and Bucky couldn't see from him that he was stable in the future. Maybe it's because of the marriage, Hawkeye should be a strict wife, and it must be the future Mrs. Patton who has trained him more and more steadily, Bucky can't help but guess with malice.

"Don't look at Patton is only fifteen years old, he is the most powerful archer in the history of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he is also proficient in various hidden weapons such as throwing knives and darts, and his hand-to-hand combat ability is not weaker than any top agent, he is definitely the rising star of S.H.I.E.L.D.L.D." Coulson said to Bucky as if to show off.

Bucky is a little confused, Hawkeye is good, although he doesn't have any special abilities, but he is also talented, even if he is the current young Hawkeye, in terms of combat strength, he is probably ranked first in S.H.I.E.L.D. However, Bucky did not understand what this had to do with himself.

Patting Hawkeye on the shoulder, Bucky encouraged: "Patton boy, do a good job, today you are proud of S.H.I.E.L.D., and tomorrow S.H.I.E.L.D. will be proud of you!" ”

Bucky himself felt a little disgusted when he said this, but without knowing what S.H.I.E.L.D. was going to do, Bucky could only say something like this. After saying that, Bucky looked at Coulson on the side and asked Coulson with his eyes what the hell was the idea of S.H.I.E.L.D. stopping him here.

"We at S.H.I.E.L.D. hope to work with you, and you and Barton form a team to solve some of the tougher problems." Coulson finally stated the purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Bucky now understands that the real purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D. for Peggy Carter to confirm his identity is to pull himself into S.H.I.E.L.D. with a good background.

However, S.H.I.E.L.D. was obviously useless, and Bucky never thought about having anything to do with S.H.I.E.L.D., let alone such a deep cooperation. Shaking his head, Bucky directly refused: "I'm sorry, I have no intention of cooperating with S.H.I.E.L.D., now I'm a businessman, and I'm a successful one among businessmen, and I don't want to go back to the life of fighting and killing, let alone finding a boss for myself to control myself!" ”

"Mr. Barnes, I think you must have misunderstood, that's not what we at S.H.I.E.L.D. meant." Seeing that Bucky refused to cooperate so directly, Coulson hurriedly said: "We don't want you to return to the days of fighting and killing, and we don't want to order you, S.H.I.E.L.D. just wants to establish a pure cooperative relationship with Mr. Barnes." ”

After a pause, Coulson gave Bucky an example: "It can be seen that Mr. Barnes's attitude towards mutants is not as generally disgusted with mutants as the public now, but rather quite favorable. And we, S.H.I.E.L.D., treat mutants with complete impartiality. In this way, we can cooperate more, and if something like Three Mile Island happens again, Mr. Barnes can work with us in S.H.I.E.L.D. to intervene in the incident as an official and solve it together, which will save Mr. Barnes a lot of effort. ”

Coulson's words really made Bucky a little moved, and on Three Mile Island, he almost capsized in the gutter and was defeated or even killed by Francis. If there had been the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time, things would have been much easier.

But Bucky also understands that if you want to reap, you have to give something, and even give far more than you get. S.H.I.E.L.D. is willing to help itself in certain matters, so I have to give S.H.I.E.L.D. more help.

"Let's talk about the specific cooperation plan!" After thinking about it for a long time, Bucky decided that it would be better to listen to the cooperation plan offered by S.H.I.E.L.D. first. The current Bucky is indeed a little weak, if the cooperation is completely free, completely equal, and does not need to obey anyone's orders, Bucky does not mind cooperating with S.H.I.E.L.D., maybe he can poach a few Avengers from S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future.

"What we at S.H.I.E.L.D. mean is that we want Mr. Barnes and Barton to form a special operations team to deal with incidents that ordinary agents can't handle, such as mutants or superpowered crimes. In return, S.H.I.E.L.D. is also willing to lend a helping hand when Mr. Barnes needs help, of course, provided that this matter is just, after all, we S.H.I.E.L.D. are also considered an official organization. ”

Listening to Coulson's cooperation plan, Bucky's brow furrowed, feeling very dissatisfied.

"Just? What is a righteous thing? Isn't it your S.H.I.E.L.D.'s duty to do what is right, and can this also be counted as a bargaining chip for cooperating with me? Bucky's voice was cold, and his tone seemed to be full of anger after being teased.

Coulson was immediately dumbfounded by Bucky's question, and to be honest, he also felt that the conditions he had just proposed were a bit harsh, and Bucky would not agree to them at all. However, as the so-called sky-high asking price and paying back the money on the ground, Coulson knew that although Bucky seemed to be angry, there was a chance that Bucky was only disguised to raise the conditions.

Coulson guessed correctly, Bucky had already figured out the price he needed, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were all over the world, gathering intelligence and some special items much faster than he could alone.

"I need some special metal, preferably vibranium, and if I don't have one, Edelman Alloy will do the same."

Through a battle on Three Mile Island, Bucky discovers his weakness - a lack of good equipment. Whether it is weapons or combat uniforms, Bucky does not have them now, and in the event of a battle, he can only use ordinary military equipment. However, ordinary military equipment is not able to play a role in a battle of Bucky's level, and it is not even as powerful as its bare hands.

If he could have two short swords made of Edelman's alloy, how could a battle on Three Mile Island be so hard, even if he faced Wade and Francis who were controlled at the same time, Bucky believed that he could fight a battle.

Of course, if Bucky can choose any of those secret warehouses in S.H.I.E.L.D., Bucky's first choice must be the Cosmic Cube, after all, the Cosmic Cube can be directly absorbed by the Infinite Heart, greatly increasing Bucky's strength. But Bucky understands that although S.H.I.E.L.D. is not conducting research on the Cosmic Cube now, in any case, as the Cosmic Cube that was once captured from the Red Skull, the leader of the Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. will not give it to an outsider. As a result, Bucky simply didn't mention the Cosmic Cube, lest S.H.I.E.L.D. find out that he was trying to do it.

Coulson listened to the conditions put forward by Bucky, and his reaction was indeed unexpected: "Impossible, even if we are in S.H.I.E.L.D., there is not much Edman alloy, let alone vibranium, it was all used on Captain America's shield at the beginning, and now we don't have any in our hands!" ”

"Then I'm going to have Edman Alloy, and I need the amount to be able to build two short swords. Don't say no, I believe that there must be a lot of Edman alloys in S.H.I.E.L.D., honesty, but the basis of cooperation between the two sides! ”

Although the Edman alloy is precious, Bucky believes that S.H.I.E.L.D. must have a lot of reserves. Not to mention anything else, Colonel Stryker alone, there are a lot of Edman alloys, S.H.I.E.L.D. arrested Colonel Stryker and swept the Three Mile Island, and Bucky believes that the little Edman alloy he asked for is nothing.

"Is it true that as long as you give you these Edman alloys, you will agree to form a special operations team with Barton?" Coulson asked.

"Give me those Edman alloys, and I promise to help you with S.H.I.E.L.D. three missions, as long as the tasks are within my power and do not harm my own interests, I will not put forward such ridiculous conditions as you do, what mission must be just."

Bucky's tone was very relaxed, and he even teased what Coulson had said before. But these words made Coulson's face darken a little, and in his opinion, the price offered by Bucky was too high.

"This is impossible, so many Edman alloys will replace you to complete three missions, so our S.H.I.E.L.D. will suffer too much!" Coulson's tone was very excited, and Bucky was a little skeptical that the price he offered was really too high, which was unacceptable to the good old man Coulson.

"Agent Coulson, you know, I'm a fairly successful businessman, and I think I'll be able to get enough Edman Alloy if I throw out a lot of dollars, after all, Edman Alloy isn't unique to your S.H.I.E.L.D." Bucky paused, then continued, "And one thing, Agent Coulson, I'm afraid you don't know my true strength, I'm afraid I can beat a kid like Little Barton!" ”

Bucky's arrogant words directly angered Hawkeye on the side, fifteen years old is the age of not knowing the height of the sky, and Hawkeye is also considered the absolute elite in S.H.I.E.L.D., when did he receive such an insult, he slammed Bucky's face with a punch, wanting to teach this guy who spoke wildly a good lesson.

However, Bucky was prepared, and as soon as he reached out to block, he steadily caught Hawkeye's fist, and his five fingers were clenched together like a cage, no matter how hard Hawkeye tried, he couldn't withdraw his fist.

"See, a little bit of Edelman alloy in exchange for my three shots is definitely worth the price!" Looking at Hawkeye, whose face was gradually reddening, Bucky let go of his hand and said to Coulson with a smile.

"I still underestimate this person, it's so much stronger than when I was in the Roaring Commando!" Coulson was silent, but his face kept changing, and his evaluation of Bucky's strength was a few notches higher in his heart.

Hawkeye, who suffered a loss, didn't attack Bucky again in the end, although he was young and vigorous, he also had self-knowledge, the strength that Bucky showed just now was definitely several times that of him, and he couldn't be his opponent in close combat. Now Hawkeye can only hope that there will be a chance to teach Bucky a lesson from a distance in the future.

Coulson hesitated for a moment, but finally decided not to bargain with Bucky, but to leave the decision to Director Nick Fury. A palm-sized communicator was pulled out of his bosom, and a message was quickly sent.

Moments later, Nick Fury replied to Coulson's message with three simple words, "Say yes."
