Chapter 386: Heroes Are Mortals

While eating, while chatting with Stark for a while, Steve suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and he didn't know why, Stark seemed a little empathetic today.

God, what the hell was he thinking? Empathetic? How could these words be juxtaposed with Stark? After Stark left, Steve rubbed his forehead, thinking that he must be hallucinating from too much stress.

Since Bucky was rescued, he has been receiving treatment at a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base, and according to Nick's feedback to Steve, Bucky's condition is not optimistic.

Back then, Hydra couldn't be completely regarded as a spy agency, it was more in the service of the war, and when the war was anxious, they were very anxious, so the brainwashing methods used against Bucky were very violent, and now he has completely turned into a cold-blooded and ruthless killing machine,

While thinking about those things back then, he sighed, and what Steve himself didn't notice was that whenever he recalled these things, his fingers trembled a little unconsciously, as if the heroic deeds he mentioned in the past were more like poison than antidote.

With mixed feelings, Steve returned to the Avengers base, it was still very early, no one came, Steve walked to the dark hall, and the moment he turned on the light, he heard Peter let out a surprised voice: "Oh! ”

"You're there, I'm sorry, I thought there was no one, why didn't you turn on the lights?" Steve walked over and saw Peter fiddling with a piece of equipment, Peter smiled and said, "I was doing a test with the power off, and in case of an accident, I just pulled the switch down." ”

"What is this?" Steve looked at the complicated equipment he couldn't understand and asked, but Peter glanced at Steve's face and said, "Captain, what's wrong with you?" Why doesn't it look good? ”

Steve touched his face, he sighed in his heart, even Peter could see that he was not in good shape, Stark must have laughed at him in his heart just now, right?

"It's nothing, it's just a little bit of a bad night's sleep." Steve was just polite, but Peter walked over and moved him a chair, and Peter patted the back of the chair and said, "Sometimes, you have to sit for a while, and if you stand all the time, your waist and legs will be very sore, my uncle used to say that." ”

"Thanks, Peter, you're so sweet, but I think it's better to stand a little more energetic." Steve smiled and didn't sit down, leaning back on the pool table next to him.

While debugging the equipment, Peter said, "Captain, sometimes I think you are too tense, and I always want people to see your spirits, but in fact, everyone can get tired......"

"That's because you're not a leader, Peter." Steve blinked, lowered his head, and said, "You have to give everyone confidence that you can lead them to victory with such heroism, and that's what I've been doing, and I've been doing it for years, and I'm going to do it for years." ”

Peter shook his head, he glanced at Steve again, his eyes were a little worried, but he still didn't say anything, he patted the device, and introduced to Steve, "The things that Mr. Stark taught me last time when dealing with bullseyes inspired me a lot. ”

"The monitoring system is not necessarily a rigid selection of several locations to monitor or monitor, but can be made into a dynamic system, and as for the analysis system that matches it, it is not necessarily just a summary of data, we can make it a little smarter."

"I know, in fact, this set of things should be made by Mr. Stark, but if this is the case, the analysis center he uses must be Jarvis, a super artificial intelligence owned by Stark Group."

Peter lowered his head and fiddled with the machine as he said, "I can see, Captain, that you have a ...... relationship with Mr. Stark."

"Forget it, I know you shouldn't talk about people behind your back, but I think you probably don't want the Avengers to rely too much on Stark Group, or the S.H.I.E.L.D. ......"

"Actually, I think the same way, it's not good for us, if justice can't be pure and independent, but it's very likely to be kidnapped by something else, then it's not justice."

Steve walked over, patted Peter on the shoulder, looked him in the eye and said, "You know what? Peter, you've really grown a lot, remember that vampire attack on the Brooklyn Bridge? ”

"At the time, I thought you were just a hairy boy with a warm blood, just like me when I was younger, but now, you are a good Avengers member and a good superhero, and I am amazed at how quickly you have improved."

Peter didn't jump for joy because he was recognized, he said, "When I changed, I realized that I had stepped into a much broader field, where in the adult world, there are more problems than experiences, and responsibilities are heavier than beliefs." ”

"Captain, you often tell me about your previous experiences, you talk about it, you hear the news of the outbreak of war, and you feel sad and helpless when you hear the news of countless deaths on the radio."

"And then you want to go to the battlefield and save the others, and you succeed in doing so."

Peter sighed and said, "I'm glad that now I don't hear the news of the imminent destruction of the world on the radio or on television, and I don't suddenly learn one day that I have to grow up overnight and go and save the world right away." ”

"If that's the case, I don't know what will happen to me." Peter shook his head, a little panicked in his tone.

"If someone told me that I was going to go to war tomorrow at the beginning of my freshman year of high school, facing machine gun fire and fighter bombardment, watching my comrades my age fall and die, I might really have a breakdown."

Steve looked at Peter with a smile and said, "Maybe I've exaggerated the process a little bit before, so just listen to it as a story, Peter." ”

Peter took a deep breath and struggled to get rid of that terrible imagination, and Steve also looked at the device and said, "So, what can it do?" ”

"The simplest thing is that I have written a system for the recent frequent assassinations, mainly for some hotels, mansions, theaters and other luxury places, as well as a dynamic monitoring system for luxury cars in the center of New York, which allows us to find suspects in and out of these places more quickly."

Peter pointed to a display screen in the middle of the device and said, "Look here, these colored markings on this car represent the places it has been in and out of within 48 hours." ”

"Orange for hotels, blue for bars, and purple for popular shopping streets and luxury stores, so we can see if the car's trajectory is normal."

"If a car doesn't go to any of the places where the upper class is supposed to be going for several surveillance periods, but suddenly appears in a high-class location, then its suspicion will rise."

"It's the most rudimentary and simple application for data flow, but it's enough for us." Peter said with a shrug.

"Actually, the most difficult part is to install the monitoring, but because we have enough special materials, the volume of the monitoring can be compressed to a very small size, but the clarity is very high, and it is not difficult for us to install the monitoring, so we can achieve this."

"In the final analysis, it is the progress of materials science that has brought about the progress of technology." Peter pinched up a chip camera and said, "Don't look at this thing, the parts in these things together, the amount of molten steel used is probably the annual vibranium production of Wakanda." ”

"It's already great, Peter." Steve was pleasantly surprised, "The only thing I agree with Stark is that you're really talented, boy, in every way. ”

"Not necessarily." Peter walked over to the chair he had moved over and sat down, and said with some dejected head, "Didn't Dr. Schiller move back to Hell's Kitchen?" ”

"I wanted to stay with him for a few days, but for some reason, when I got to the door, my spider senses started to ring."

"My God, it's never been so noisy, it almost deafened me, and I don't know what's wrong, so I didn't go in."

"Dr. Schiller stood inside the door and talked to me, and we talked for a while, and then we talked about psychology, and Dr. Schiller said that I was not suitable for psychology, and I used to think that he was quite optimistic about me......"

"You can't be good at every subject." Steve comforted Peter, "No one can be omniscient, and your talent in mechanics, engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., is high enough. ”

"But I don't understand that the reason why Dr. Schiller said that I am not suitable to study psychology is that I am too kind, and people who study psychology are not kind? But Dr. Schiller is obviously a good man. ”

Steve pursed his lips, thinking back to the recent performance of Schiller seen on the Hive Master, which had nothing to do with the word kindness anyway.

But he said, "Perhaps, he thinks you're too compassionate, and if you try to understand the world of the mentally ill, it might affect yourself." ”

"Don't talk about that." Peter quickly shakes off the frustration, he sits down in his chair and looks up at Steve, from this angle, Steve's stubble can be seen very clearly, it looks like he hasn't shaved this morning, although he is still handsome, but he looks a little haggard.

Peter said euphemistically: "Captain, did you go to the psychological counseling arranged for you by S.H.I.E.L.D. on time?" ”

"They only seem to have arranged 10 hours of psychological counseling for me, according to Nick, it seems that Schiller's offer is too expensive, but I actually didn't go 10 times, only five or six times, I think my mentality is okay, there is nothing to counsel."

"But I heard from Dr. Schiller that mental health problems, like other physical ailments, require regular check-ups?"

"Okay, Peter, you don't have to beat around the bush, I know you're trying to say that my current state doesn't seem right, but that's just because I'm a little busy at work and I'm a little sleepless."

Seeing this, Peter didn't say anything more, but the corners of Steve's mouth were tightly pursed, betraying his uncalm heart.

In the evening, the base was finally a little more lively, everyone discussed the battle plan together, Peter came with pizza on the way, and everyone feasted.

The polished, shiny cocktail was tossed high and spun twice around the bar light, and then fell into Matt's hand like a meteor falling from the stars, and he spun the glass in his hand, causing several children to cheer, and Blade Eric was sitting on the couch, telling them the horrific rumors about vampires.

Peter, Steve, Erica, and Hawkeye Barton were playing Ludo as they stared at the pieces while discussing the recent events at S.H.I.E.L.D., and after a while, several mutant kids and Eric came over and began to sit around and chat.

In the underground base, there are no windows to judge the light, and it seems that as long as the lights are not extinguished, the joyful atmosphere can continue.

But soon, the younger children began to get sleepy, and they went to their bedrooms to rest, and the few who had to go to work the next day also left.

In the end, Steve was left alone, sitting on the couch and putting away the pizza box on the coffee table, Peter and Matt wanted to stay and help him, but Steve refused.

He thought that he needed some alone time to sort out some chaotic thoughts, but when the time of solitude really came, a feeling of uneasiness began to spread in his heart again.

He reached out to take the box of pizza, only to find that his fingertips kept shaking, Steve's eyes froze, as if surprised by the reaction of his limbs, since when has his hand been shaking?

"No......" Steve denied inwardly.

"It should have been just from the beginning, and no one else should have seen it."

But another voice in his heart was telling him that this situation had already appeared, and everyone had seen it, and seeing that he was a haggard, flustered and trembling softie, they would no longer trust you, they would no longer think that Captain America was an immortal leader, they would feel that you were old and no longer a savior......

"Bang!" A stack of pizza boxes fell to the ground, and Steve leaned back, making the couch squeak, as if this was the only way to show that he still had strength.

He pinched his eyebrows with his hand, and clearly felt the muscles in his arm trembling, from his shoulder to his elbow were a little sore, but he still held on, refusing to put his arm down, like a puppet that had just gained a body, trying to adapt to his limbs.

Steve was telling his limbs in a tough way: "You have to listen to me, to be still, to be steady, to be powerful!" ”

But the more he did this, the more he felt that his body was out of his control, and a kind of anxiety that knew that the situation was wrong but could not do anything was gradually eating away at him.

Steve tried to take a deep breath, but he didn't notice that he was inhaling and exhaling deeper and shallower, faster and faster, until the air made a soft "poof" sound as it passed through its nose and lips, and then he squeezed the muscles around his mouth until his entire face stiffened.

Finally, a panic for no apparent reason engulfed him, he swallowed hard, his arm trembled and took out his phone from his pocket, dialed the number and said, "Hello? Doctors? I think I may need treatment, is it okay tomorrow morning? …… Ok thanks. ”

“…… The current situation? No, actually, it's okay, I'm just feeling a little nervous, probably tired. ”

"Okay, do you want me to breathe to the sound of that timer? But I feel a little ...... It's a little too slow, that's not the rhythm of my breathing. ”

"Okay, I'll do my best, huh...... Suck ......"

In the longer and longer exhalations, Steve felt the sleepiness creep in, but the tension kept him from falling asleep because he didn't know what he was going to dream, and just like that, after a few minutes, he hung up, still awake, just with a splitting headache.

He remained awake until the morning, and when he was about to go to the psychic clinic, he hesitated to pace in front of the door, and even tried to pull out his mobile phone to tell Schiller that he was not going, but in the end he stepped out of the door and got into the car.

When he arrived at the psychological clinic in Hell's Kitchen, he saw Schiller in a suit sitting behind his desk, and for some reason, he didn't want to get closer, and the person in front of him made him feel very strange.

Schiller's fingers moved, and Steve turned his head instantly, and when Schiller stood up, Steve took a quick step back, he stiffened, turned around and closed the door, pretending that he was closing the door before retreating.

Finally, he walked to the table and shook Schiller's hand, and when the two sat down again, Schiller introduced himself: "I think you should already know that I am another personality of Schiller, so I have not participated in the treatment of the two of you, but I have read all the medical records he left behind......"

"Are you also a psychiatrist?" Steve asked him, "Can't you get Dr. Schiller out?" ”

"I'm much more experienced than he is, and of all the cases I've seen, you're in the mild category, so don't be nervous, you'll be relieved soon."

As he spoke, Schiller took down a medical record from the bookshelf next to him, and said as he flipped through it: "You have some post-traumatic stress disorder, but it is not serious, and a previous medical record shows that you are almost cured." ”

"What are you feeling afraid of, is it possible that you are experiencing an acute anxiety disorder caused by some stimulus, that is, a sudden onset of panic state?"

"No, there isn't." Steve denied it, and Schiller didn't continue to ask, but looked him in the eye and asked, "What have you been thinking about a lot lately?" Is it the past? Or is it the future? ”

"The past, I like to miss the past." Steve replied quickly, but Schiller kept staring into his eyes, and Steve began to breathe a little hard again, and said, "Well, it's actually the future, but I don't know what I'm worried about." ”

"This is also a very typical manifestation, I repeat, you don't have to be nervous about it, I know that you live in an era where psychology and psychiatry were not very common, and you may not have been exposed to this knowledge, so you feel that you are not acting normally."

"But actually, anxiety and anxiety are extremely common, and among the people you know, I, Stark, Blade, and S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Hill all suffer from anxiety, and 80% of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents I've met have a history of it."

Steve opened his mouth, which was a little unimaginable to him, and Schiller continued: "You lived in an era where people didn't suffer from this disease, just because they weren't diagnosed, and even if someone found out, they were ashamed to say it. ”

"Well, your seizures are a bit sudden, and breathing manipulation and mild hypnosis don't help, so medication may be needed."

"Do you have any history of allergies? Or is there any important event next that should not be used with diazepam? ”

"No, I ......" Steve put his finger to his eye and said, "I don't want to take medicine, I think, I can ......"

"Well, I know that first-time people will have a very obvious resistance to drugs, and my principle is, if you feel miserable, then I will prescribe medicine for you, and if you don't feel that you need to, then adjust yourself for a while."

Steve shook his head, but didn't say anything, and when his handsome face showed a less obvious emotion of pain, it made him look like a classical statue, with a melancholy mood peculiar to the Romantic period.

"Okay, we can have a chat, it will help you relax."

As the sun rose outside the window, it was already noon when Steve came out of the clinic, and he wanted to eat anything, but he found that he had neither a wallet nor a mobile phone, so he had to walk back to the base.

As soon as he returned, Peter came up to him and said, "Captain! Big Discovery! ”

Steve cheered himself up and basked in the sun for a while on the road, which made him feel better, and he asked Peter, "What a big discovery?" ”

"Remember what I told you about the new surveillance system? We found a very suspicious car. ”

Steve immediately walked over quickly, he looked at the screen and asked, "Which one can be tracked?" ”

"Here, it hasn't been seen since last night, but we found the same place he had passed by twice, and it was a park phone booth."

"That could be the way to get in touch with his employer, and I've seen many cases where they've used a phone booth down the street to get in touch," Steve speculated. ”

"Are we going to install surveillance? If he calls again, I should be able to listen to what they're talking about. ”

"No, they rarely use a phone to stop multiple times, twice is already the limit, let's go over now and see if we can find a clue from the phone booth he used to use."

The two immediately drove to the spot Peter had found, where there was no one but three phone booths side by side, and Steve asked Peter, "Can you find the phone records?" ”

"I can try." Peter walked back, back to the car, took his toolbox, and began to study it, just then, Steve felt a little uncomfortable, and he shook his head hard to clear himself.

He regretted that he had not accepted Schiller's suggestion to get some medicine, but he felt that there was no time to give him a good night's sleep now, and he felt an inexplicable fear in himself, but he was unwilling to admit that this fear had anything to do with Hydra.

At that moment, Peter fiddled with the cables and said, "It seems like a clue, normally this kind of street phone booth doesn't leave a dial record, but I should be able to trigger the current by pressing a button...... Let me see ......"

After a while, just as Steve felt some stiffness in his back and wanted to find a place to lean on, Peter exclaimed and said, "It's done!" ”

Steve hurriedly walked over and asked, "How's it going?" What clues did you get? ”

"I got a phone number, but I'm not sure if it's a one-time thing, we can call and see."

Steve didn't show any disappointment, he just said, "I'm afraid it's mostly a one-off, and their vigilance shouldn't be so bad." ”

Peter wrote the phone onto a note, and Steve walked into the phone booth to dial the number, and after a series of busy tones, Steve heard a very familiar voice that he had only heard for a short time.

"Hey, hello......"

Peter saw Steve freeze in the phone booth, and within two seconds, he hung up the phone, and Peter asked, "How's it going?" ”

Steve shook his head a little stiffly and said, "It's indeed a one-time number, and it didn't get through." ”

Peter looked a little disappointed, but not too frustrated, and said, "It's okay, it at least proves that the system is useful, and as long as we keep waiting, we will definitely find the key clues." ”

Steve nodded, and after returning to the Avengers base, he said to Peter, "You go back to class first, your lunch break should be almost up, right?" ”

Peter saw that Steve was in a strange state and wanted to stay with him, but Steve refused, and after Peter left, Steve quickly put on his coat, took his shield, and went to the psychological clinic in Hell's Kitchen.

As he walked up the stairs, Steve clutched the handle of his shield, as if this was the only way to give him some security, and when the door was pushed open, the figure in the dark suit was still sitting behind his desk, looking like he had been waiting for him for a long time.

Steve walked in and stared at him and said, "You're ......."

"Who are you referring to?" Schiller interrupted his conclusion.

"You, Schiller Rodriguez."

"But I'm not him, remember? I am his other personality. ”

"You're a hydra, or, at least, you're related to them......"

Schiller also stood up, put a pen on the table, and said, "You don't have to use this speculative tone, I'm Hydra, and I have a code name that you should be very familiar with......"

Steve stared at him deadly, but Schiller lowered his head, smiled and said, "You still call me that in the morning, have you forgotten?" ”

"...... 'doctor', you're a 'doctor.'"

"It's me, but not him."

"Why the hell are you ......" Steve exhaled, and he angrily hammered the wall around him.

"It seems that you did lack such knowledge in that era, I have already said that I am not him, we are two personalities."

Schiller said as he bent down to open his drawer, took out a document from it, and handed it to Steve, who didn't take it, but just looked at him, and Schiller pointed to the document and said, "About Bucky." ”

Steve's Adam's apple moved, and he eventually reached out and picked up the document, and when he opened the first page, it read "Howard Stark Car Accident Investigation Report".

The more he flipped back, the more solemn Steve's face became, and finally, with an expression of disbelief, Schiller sat back in his chair and said very lightly: "I know you don't believe, or you don't want to believe, that your former best friend killed your other friend." ”

"But that's just the way it is, Bucky Barnes, a member of Project Hydra Winter, a successful Winter Soldier, used a car accident to kill Howard Stark."

"Enough!" Steve slammed the information on the table and said, "You despicable hydra, you want to make up this information to influence me, I won't let you succeed!" ”

"Really? Let another of our guests share their thoughts. Schiller looked down at the watch on his wrist and said, "He's coming soon." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Stark, who was wearing a battle suit, walked into the office of the clinic, he looked at Schiller with a serious face and said, "Why is it you who answered the phone?" Schiller, tell me ......"

"Why is it that after the assassination killer's contact person gets through, the person who answers it will be you??"

"Isn't that an obvious fact? I'm afraid you didn't just get my number, you should also know my code name, and what I did, you're much smarter than him, so I don't have to explain it all over again. ”

Still sitting in his chair, Schiller looked at Stark and said, "Another friend must have something to ask you about your father." ”

Although he didn't want to be diverted, Stark still involuntarily turned his head to look at the somewhat sluggish Steve, Steve shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a conspiracy, it must be like this." ”

Stark looked at his face, Stark walked over, picked up the document in front of Steve, flipped to the first page, put it down, and then slammed it on the table as well.

Seeing his movements, Steve's body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look at Stark and said, "This is him, he made it up, right?" It's a conspiracy of Hydra......"

Stark was silent for a long time, and then he said, "Actually, you should know better than I do, it's true." ”

"If the so-called Winter Soldier project created a killer to kill important people, then Howard must bear the brunt."

Steve's Adam's apple began to tremble wildly, and he shook his head and took two steps back, saying, "No, it's not...... He's not ......"

Suddenly, he looked up at Schiller and said, "You did it on purpose, deliberately revealing your own contact information, and then calling us here, you always wanted us to have a civil war ......"

Schiller stood up again, he walked to the side of his room, and tapped the top of a television that was placed there, and their eyes followed his movements, as if they were worried that he would suddenly attack, but Schiller just leaned over the TV and flipped the switch.

A picture suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, it was a man nailed to the wall, blood covered the entire wall, and Steve exclaimed with wide eyes, "Bucky! What did you do with him?!! ”

"Why do you knowingly ask?" Schiller himself turned to the TV and said, "Obviously, I kidnapped him and nailed him to the wall with many wedges with a diameter of 6 centimeters. ”

Steve hammered hard and roared, "You madman!! What the hell do you want to do?!! ”

At this moment, Schiller calmly walked back to the table, opened the drawer, and took out a pistol from it.

Steve immediately picked up the shield, Stark opened the armor, but Schiller just looked down, "click", the magazine was withdrawn, Schiller took a bullet from the side, put it in the magazine, and then pushed it up.

Then, he laid the gun flat on the table, flicked it forward, and the gun spun and slid in front of Steve, Schiller looked up, looked him in the eye and said, "Take it, and shoot me to destroy the Hydra you hate the most." ”

His attitude was very provocative, as if to bet that Steve would not dare to do this, and Steve was enraged by him, he took the gun, loaded it, pointed it at Schiller's eyebrows, and said, "Do you think I will let you go?!! ”

"I know you won't, because I'm a hydra, but what about Schiller? Isn't he your friend? ”

"He's a doctor, he's a good guy, he's saved a lot of people, maybe you, and a lot of other superheroes."

"As for me, I'm just a product of Hydra's brainwashing, just an emotionless tool, this is not Schiller's intention, it's just an accident."

Schiller walked out from behind the desk, Steve kept pointing the gun at him, and Schiller walked up to Steve until the muzzle of the gun was directly against his forehead.

Schiller looked Steve in the eye and asked, "If you're going to shoot me, then why can't Stark kill your best friend Bucky?" ”

Steve's arm began to tremble uncontrollably, and Stark came up and said, "That's enough, Schiller, don't do this, I think there might be some misunderstanding here......"

Steve's breathing became more and more rapid, and as he crossed Schiller's figure, he saw that what was displayed on the screen was not a picture, but a real-time image, and Bucky no longer had that cold expression, his face was full of pain.

Steve's fingers pressed down slightly, and the loose part of the trigger had been pulled to the bottom by him, and if he continued to press again, the bullet would fly out immediately, but Schiller had no intention of avoiding it, he still put the muzzle of the gun against his forehead, and then looked at Steve with his eyes.

After a few seconds, Steve's arm was lowered, his little finger and ring finger gripping the handle of the gun tightly, but the finger that pulled the trigger had been released, and he curled up in some pain, shaking his head as if to get rid of some hallucination.

Stark didn't look anymore, he stepped forward and wanted to help Steve up, but the moment he touched his arm, he was thrown away, Steve's strength was incredible, and Iron Man in the mecha was shocked by him and took two steps back.

Steve straightened up with some difficulty, he looked at Schiller and asked, "What is it going to take for you to let Bucky go?" ”

"The Winter Soldier and I are both brainwashed by Hydra, and we're just guns for killing."

"If you kill me, you deny the arguments you made to defend Bucky, because the Dr. Schiller you know is also innocent, but you killed him."

"Then it proves that Stark can kill Bucky just like you and avenge his father, and even anyone can do that, which is right."

"Steve, you didn't shoot, not because you sympathized with that innocent Dr. Schiller inside me, but because you were afraid that if you did, Stark might do it to Bucky too, and someone righteous would kill him."

"You were trying to pull the trigger, right? In that moment, did you think about it? Schiller asked, looking into Steve's eyes.

"Bucky is your friend, isn't Schiller?"

"Two people in the same situation, why do you react completely differently?"

"Is it really because you have a better relationship with Bucky?"

"Is it really Bucky that you care about? Or is it the era he represents?

"The one that carries all your past and memories, all your glory and honor...... War years? ”

Steve stood in place, gun in both hands, but he didn't raise it, he listened to all Schiller's questions in silence, his red eyes were bluer, and his voice trembled a little.

"You're right, I've always been a person living in the past, the war didn't bring me any good, it only left me with all kinds of nightmares, but if I had to choose again, I would still choose the past......"

He turned his head to look at Stark on the side, and said, "Bucky, Howard, and Schiller are all my friends, and you may think that I don't have a choice." ”

"Either for Bucky's sake, let you despicable hydra go, or kill you, kill Schiller, kill Bucky......"

Steve took a deep breath and straightened his back, as he had done countless times.

"But I have one last choice, one that people like you will never understand."

He looked at Stark and said word for word, "Tony, I know you have what it takes to save Bucky, save Dr. Schiller......"

"And I'm going to pay for all of this."

Stark suddenly had a bad premonition, and at this moment, Steve raised his gun without hesitation and pointed it at his temple.

"Bang", the gun went off.

The gunfire was loud, but the bullet slowly dispersed into a wisp of gray mist and drifted back into Schiller's body, Schiller looked at Stark and said, "My symbiote told me that there was no doubt that he had just pulled the trigger." ”

Stark held his hand on the edge of the table, as if he had lost his strength, and he fell down, and Steve shook a few times and staggered against the wall.

The room was silent until the light climbed to the rhombic lattice of the floor, and it seemed to be a long time before Iron Man straightened up again, and Steve stood up straight with one hand against the wall.

The look of confusion and fear disappeared from Steve's face, and the determination in his eyes was no longer what his identity required him to show.

At this moment, the two glanced at each other and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.

Iron Man never backs down, because he is the last steel barrier in front of everyone, but Stark's emotions are more sensitive than ordinary people, he will doubt, confused, and sad.

But Iron Man, who was only one step away from becoming an eternal god, gave up the infinite power of the gods and the dazzling scenery above the universe, and chose the mortal body because he felt that man was greater than God.

Captain America can't be vulnerable, because he is the uplifting banner of that special era, but Steve's heart is no different from that of ordinary people, he will be tired, painful, and withdrawn.

But Captain America, who is like a god, is even greater because of the fragility that ordinary people have, and Steve has become a greater person than God in a mortal body.

When they suddenly see each other's fragility in this way, and at the same time realize the greatness that the other party is pursuing, then no one can understand each other better than them, and can feel better that the other me in this world will always be my amiable and disgusting opponent.

The two of them exhaled at the same time and said nothing.

A few seconds later, they turned their heads together to look at Schiller, and at this time, Schiller lost his dangerous aura that had just been terrifying, and he suddenly stood there for a few seconds, and then his eyes regained their brightness.

"Hah...... A perfect vacation, enough to make up for the trauma caused by my previous overtime. Schiller sighed, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Stark and Steve, staring at him.

He glanced down at his watch and said with some confusion, "Why are you here?" Shouldn't it be the time to make an appointment? ”

Ten minutes later, at the entrance of Midtown High School, Peter and Gwen were huddled in front of the pizza shop, and after he finished paying, he took the bag handed by the clerk, and when he turned his head, he was stunned.

Gwen walked over from the other side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong?" What do you see? ”

Peter turned his head back, stared at the clearing in front of him, and wondered, "Did I just hallucinate?" ”

"How do I see Iron Man and Captain America, chasing a cloud of fog and running ???"

On the skyline of New York, Schiller, who had turned into a cloud of gray fog and fled for his life, heard the voice of another self ring in his heart.

"Congratulations on coming back from vacation, I have one bad news, another bad news, another worse news, another worse news and one last worse news to tell you."

"First of all, I just helped you provoke Iron Man and Captain America at the same time, the kind that makes you really hot, you may be chased around the world by them...... Or the solar system. ”

"Secondly, I helped you assassinate many Hydras disguised as VIPs before, and now the Hydra headquarters is going crazy trying to kill you."

"Then, I deliberately used the performance of a mental patient to arouse Stark's interest, and now that he and Jarvis can be called experts in psychological theory, your consultation fee will definitely be very hot in the future."

"Also, I didn't mean to have it revealed that you crossed the Supreme Mage and sold your soul to Mephisto."

"In the end, I got the Winter Soldier out of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret base, and the process was a little violent, so the base was badly damaged, and that base was built by Nick at a great price, and I didn't mean to."

"I'm done, no thanks......"

"Who told you not to take care of my umbrella?"

------Off topic------

Schiller: He's really sick.
