Grant had a nightmare.

The nightmare is divided into two phases. The first stage is still the process of being irradiated by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube and being washed over the entire body by the energy released by it. He had heard that people could not feel pain in dreams, but now that he thought about it, it was not like that at all.

This is followed by the second phase. Instead of waking up and escaping from the Trident building as he did in reality, he was moved directly to another operating table. There, he was conscious but unable to control his body, and his blood, bone marrow, brain cells, etc., were extracted again and again, and he had to be cut open from the sternum to the lower abdomen, taking all the organs in the body, and then implanting some machinery into it, barely maintaining his life. By the end, he saw a document with his name on it, followed by the rather conspicuous red word "wasted". It was a signal that the people who had taken all of his body were going to abandon him like a used scrap. Sure enough, his consciousness "watched" as a certain white coat pressed a button to cut off the power to the mechanical system inside him. Then, his consciousness ceased to exist......

Then he woke up.

When he woke up, Grant's mind was still in chaos. It took him almost a minute before he had a thought, remembered who he was, and began to recognize everything around him. Only then did he begin to feel his environment.

He also remembered the nightmare from before, but he was a little unclear about what had happened before. Damn, you can't really lose consciousness for a while, right? In other words, did you really "die" for a while? It was an awkward thought even to him.

Since it's awkward, let's not think about it for now.

Familiarizing yourself with the terrain is the basic quality of every field agent. As one of the best of them, Grant quickly analyzed some of the necessary information.

First, he was in a moving car; Second, he was pretty sure he wasn't caught by the Winter Soldier; Third, the driver who was driving was definitely not with him; Fourth, the driver may be a female novice.

From an old minivan that was driving at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour and was not very spacious, there were a lot of computer books and some feminine daily necessities, and there were a lot of hand-drawn flow chart sticky notes and maps on the wall of the car, Grant could only know the first three points above, and he didn't care much about the rest. As for the fourth point, it was purely because after he accidentally made a little noise, the front of the minivan flicked to the left so hard that the body almost floated. And he happened to know that there was a stalk about female drivers in Huaxia, that's all.

I guess the driver was scared just now.

The frightened suspected female driver pulled the minivan, which was at least five years old, to the side, and then quickly appeared in front of Grant.

It's really a female driver.

Typical mixed-race faces, the East-meets-West style hits Grant's aesthetic. Especially those big shining eyes, so that his experienced agent couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

The other party didn't care about this. In fact, after meeting Grant, the woman in her twenties has been in a state of excitement. This made Grant very confused.

"You're awake!"

The woman pulled Grant out of the carriage and circled around him excitedly, all the while constantly looking at him, from head to toe. It's like a little girl meeting her idol.

Idol? Myself? Grant wondered if something was wrong with his brain. Or is there something wrong with her brain?

"Uh, excuse me, what's going on?"

"You forgot? Oh my God, did you hit your head? ”

The woman is still very enthusiastic. She also subconsciously reached out to touch Grant's head, only to suddenly feel embarrassed again and took it back.

"You fell from the sky and fainted. Then I lifted you onto my minivan and helped you get rid of the people who were trying to kill you! Speaking of this, the woman became excited again, "I saved you!" OMG, I saved a superhero! It's so exciting! ”

Hearing this, Grant frowned.

Dump the Winter Soldier? Superheroes?

Let's start with the latter. Not to mention in other cultural circles, in the United States, there is one who can be called a superhero, Captain America. This is a legend that has been passed down since the Second World War, and many children have grown up watching the story of this hero. It seems that this woman is one of them. Of course, there are also children who treat their fathers and mothers as superheroes, which is not difficult to understand. But that's obviously not the point, the point is that she uses Grant as a superhero? Unless she had a brain problem or had mistaken someone, there was only one explanation - she knew that he had superpowers. How come?!

Let's take a look at "Throw off the Winter Soldier". It's not that he looks down on people, in his opinion, the living environment of the woman in front of him is obviously not very good, so it is impossible to join an organization by virtue of his identity. If there is any specialty, Grant really can't see it, and it will definitely not be outstanding anyway. Not to mention engaging in scientific research, it is a job that burns money. In other words, the chances of the woman coming from an organization that can stop the Winter Soldier are almost zero. So, what did she rely on to get rid of the Winter Soldier?

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this person's disguise ability is close to that of the black widow. It is also possible that an organization has sent him to gain his trust. It's just that it's really unlikely, and Grant doesn't feel that he has the right to be treated like this. Although he didn't want to admit it, the Winter Soldier's organization had the simplest, most direct, and most appropriate way to deal with him - as long as he was physical, he didn't care if he lived or died.

Well, it looks like we're going to have to talk to this life-saver.

Meanwhile, Natasha, who vows to kick someone's ass, arrives in the park where Grant was ambushed based on information provided by her subordinates.

"Definitely not S.H.I.E.L.D."

Looking at the various bullet marks on the ground, it is easy to imagine that the battle was fierce at that time.

"But apart from S.H.I.E.L.D., who else could set up such a large-scale ambush here? Could it be the military? ”

Like Grant, the first thing that came to Natasha's mind was the U.S. side. It's no wonder that not long ago, they had a fight in a secret base suspected of belonging to the military. If the secret base really belonged to the military, or if Stryker was a member of the military, the military had every motive to ambush Grant. Of course, it won't be for revenge, at least that's not the main reason, and the military won't be so superficial. What can really make an organization of this size tempted is definitely Grant's superpower. Remember, Stryker saw it with his own eyes.

Of course, this alone cannot be judged. Therefore, Natasha, who originally wanted to act alone, could only find her subordinates and ask them to search the neighborhood carefully to see if they found anything.

And it turned out to be true. Two rifled, Soviet-made sniper bullets, and the bike that Natasha gave Grant in the first place...... of the wreckage.

She's called "Dumplings", right?

Silently holding the already glorious "dumpling" to her chest, Natasha looked into the distance with an expressionless face and whispered the name in a slightly dry voice.

Well, it should be a code name, the code name of the person who still makes her subconsciously resist after a few years.

"The Winter Soldier!"
