Beauty Man: Infinite Possession

Chapter 650 Decisive
1991.12.16
The time displayed on the video immediately evoked the memory buried deep in Tony's heart.

This memory, once conceived by [Bill Sever] in the thinking world, now appears in the video screen.

Looking at the familiar road in the video, the expression on Tony's face suddenly became serious.

His gaze scanned the names on the folder, and his originally calm breathing became short of breath.

I vaguely understood in my heart that this might be the 'answer' I had been looking for.

Due to the age of shooting, the whole video is a bit blurred and black and white, but Tony didn't care about it at all, and all his attention was attracted by the content of the video.

In the video, a familiar car crashes hard into a dark intersection.

With the impact of the car, Tony felt as if his heart had also been hit hard.

He already understood that the people in the car accident should be his parents.

Pressing the sadness in his heart, Tony continued to look at the picture in the video.

And as the video played, the figure who should be driving a motorcycle appeared next to the car that was hit.

"It's him!"

Looking at this figure, Tony finally couldn't suppress his excitement and blurted out.

This [Bill Cypher] once suspended the picture in his thinking consciousness, but now finally ushered in the follow-up part.

It's just that this time, Tony can no longer stop him in the thinking world, and can only watch the past in the video continue.

Getting off the motorcycle, Tony finally saw the man's true face clearly.

In the blurry picture, the other party showed his silver-white metal arm and a cold but very familiar face to Tony.

The Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes.

Witnessing the picture, Bucky ruthlessly killed his father, and at the same time killed the surviving mother in the car.

Tony's emotions suddenly reached the extreme.

"Mr Stark, I'm sorry..."

Feeling Tony's emotions, Ultron said in a comforting tone.

"Tell me where Bucky is."

"Sir, according to the presumption of the time of the incident, the Winter Soldier at that time did not have a personal will. He was just a killing tool under the brainwashing of Hydra."

"Tell me where Bucky is, Ultron!"

Press the arc reactor on the chest, and the nano-robots hidden in it instantly transformed into the nano-suit Mark54 on Tony's body, and Tony's tone became agitated.

"..."

Sensing Tony's emotional excitement at this moment, the artificial intelligence quickly performed calculations, and in the end the creator's order overwhelmed Ultron's idea.

"The Winter Soldier is currently in Avengers Tower."

Looking at the target location shown by Ultron, Tony immediately controlled the nano-suit to turn into a red afterimage and fly away.

……

"What I mean is, you are really close to a hundred years old like Captain America, so how do you manage to stay young? Recently, I have felt a little powerless, I mean in terms of combat power..."

In the Avengers Building, Falcon Sam looked at the cold-faced Winter Soldier in front of him, but couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and asked him in a slightly familiar tone.

"Frozen."

Facing Sam's obviously ironic words, Bucky also gave a very cold and humorous answer.

"When you have been frozen for more than two-thirds of your life or even longer, and you can only act when you are ordered, then you can do like me."

"Well, good advice, but I've already tasted that."

In this regard, Falcon couldn't help but shrugged his shoulders.

The tasting mentioned in the mouth refers to the freezing experience when facing the SCP Foundation in Canada.

"I have always been very curious, if you have been in a state of brainwashing, then whether there is still a little impression of the memory of the past."

Looking at the indifferent Winter Soldier, Banner couldn't help showing a curious expression.

"Every time Hydra arranges me to perform a task, it will brainwash me again. I don't know how many times I have been brainwashed in the past 70 years, so even the memory that exists has become very blurred. Perhaps there will be no memory of the most impressive scene.”

"However, if you've been brainwashed, your brain should have developed resistance to it, or it wouldn't remember Steve."

Regarding Bucky's answer, Banner put forward a slightly different view.

"Perhaps, the more things you come into contact with, the lost memories may be restored again."

"If I could, I'd rather that day never happen."

The Winter Soldier wasn't too happy about it.

"I know very well that those are not memories worth recalling."

"Feel sorry……"

Hearing Bucky's answer, Banner also realized that the Winter Soldier had been brainwashed by Hydra to do all kinds of evil deeds, even if it was not his will, but he did it after all, so Bucky recalled the past except Apart from making him hate his past even more, there is no other benefit.

"Perhaps, the current situation is more suitable for me, a guy without a past."

Concentrating on the expression on his face, he still maintained a stern look.

Bucky looked at Banner in front of him, and said silently.

boom--

However, the moment the Winter Soldier's voice fell, there was a sudden explosion on the ground of the Avengers Building under everyone's feet.

"careful!"

Facing the sudden explosion, Falcon Sam instinctively threw himself towards his wings, while Banner lost control of his body in the explosion and fell back on the ground, a large amount of gravel grazed his body and fell On the ground, Banner stretched out his hands to block his face, trying to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and did not release the Hulk in his body immediately.

"If you don't want to remember the past, then I will help you remember it."

Amidst the explosion, Tony controlled Mark54 to block the broken hole, grabbed Bucky's neck with one hand, and the face under the helmet of the nano suit was full of anger.

"Tony, what the hell is going on!"

Seeing that it was Tony who made the attack, Banner had a surprised expression on his face.

"Stop it, Tony, he's Bucky, not the enemy."

Controlling the metal wings on his back to fan the surrounding explosion smoke, Falcon looked at the Winter Soldier tightly held by Tony, and immediately spoke.

"To me, he is the enemy."

However, obviously, Tony at this moment is not something that Falcon and Banner can convince.

The strength of the palm grasping Bucky continued to increase. Stimulated by the pain, the mechanical arm of the Winter Soldier's left hand began to counterattack, quickly transforming into a thorn cone and attacking Tony.

Bang!

Raising his arm to grab Bucky's transformed thorn cone in his hand, Tony looked directly at the Winter Soldier in his hand and asked, "Tell me, have you ever regretted everything you did?!"

"If I remember, I probably regret it."

Facing Tony's questioning, the Winter Soldier replied with his still indifferent voice. At the same time, the arm transformed into a thorn cone also transformed into a tough long whip at the same time. It broke free from Tony's palm and wrapped around his neck. on the arm.

As the strength of the mechanical arm continued to increase, the nano-robots on Tony's arm began to be damaged, and the power transmitted from it also weakened.

"If I were a 'nice guy' like the captain I would have let it all go, but unfortunately I'm not."

The Winter Soldier's answer did not cause too many waves in Tony's heart.

More nano-robots replaced the damaged parts, grabbing Bucky's palm and transforming it into a huge claw to grab the opponent tightly.

boom--

However, just when Tony held the Winter Soldier in his hands, he wanted to avenge his dead parents.

From behind him, with a rapid whoosh, a shield hit Tony's arm clutching Bucky's neck.

Under the impact of the shield, Tony's body couldn't help but staggered a little, and at this moment, the Winter Soldier seized the opportunity to turn the mechanical arm into an iron frame to prop up the claw hook on his neck, while rolling from Tony escape in front of him.

"What happened, Tony?"

Raising his hand to catch the shield again, Captain America Steve couldn't help frowning as he watched the battle in front of him.

"What misunderstanding happened between you and Bucky?"

After receiving the notification from the Falcon, Stephen rushed towards the place where the battle took place without hesitation.

However, obviously, even after seeing the scene of the two fighting, Stephen still couldn't understand why the two fought together.

Not to mention Stephen, even the Falcon who notified him also had a half-knowledge of the development of the whole situation.

Leaving from the most dangerous place in front of Tony, the Winter Soldier stood up, touched the paw prints on his neck, and the expression on his face changed a little.

"It seems that you have remembered the reason."

Tony kept his eyes on Bucky all the time, even with the appearance of Captain America, and later members of the Avengers, Natasha and Vision, he still didn't move his eyes away.

He noticed the change in the expression on Bucky's face, and then he spoke.

"..."

Facing Tony's questioning, the Winter Soldier looked silent.

He knew very well that under such circumstances, any explanation would be useless.

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"

Looking at the sharp and silent attitudes of Tony and the Winter Soldier in front of her, Natasha's eyes flickered, while Falcon Sam frowned and asked.

The development of the whole process, starting from Tony, he is not clear.

"Mr. Stark, maybe you should calm down your emotions."

The forehead gem flickered for a moment, and under the power of the mind gem, Vision could perceive the turbulent emotions in Tony's heart at the moment.

"I might calm down, but not now."

Facing the persuasion, Tony answered with a firm face.

"I used to always think that we are friends, captain, even though there is such a long time difference between you and me, but as a member of the Avengers, we have fought side by side intimately, not just with me, with me The same is true of your father, I have heard your name more than once from his mouth."

Turning his head and looking at the frowning Captain America, the look in Tony's eyes became extremely complicated.

"So, I hope you can tell me..."

While speaking, Tony raised his arm and pressed the device on his wrist, and then a projection screen appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

"This is?!"

"..."

Seeing everything presented in my picture, everyone present fell into silence.

Their eyes fell on the Winter Soldier not far away, and at the same time they began to understand why Tony attacked Bucky so recklessly just now.

"Captain, do you know all this?"

"I didn't know it was Bucky who attacked."

Facing Tony's questioning, Steve said silently.

"I want answers, Captain!"

"I'm sorry, Tony."

Steve's answer undoubtedly indirectly told Tony the answer.

Inside the nano suit, he bowed his head silently for a moment, and then followed by the flickering of the arc reactor on his chest, a violent shock wave was fired from the palm of his hand and bombarded Captain America in front of him.

Bang!
Facing the shock wave launched by Tony, Steve subconsciously raised the shield in his hand to block it.

"This shield is not yours. It was made by my father. You are not worthy to use it."

Looking at the shield in Steve's hand, Tony's face under his battle suit became even more angry.

"You can't change the past, Tony, Bucky was also a victim of HYDRA."

Regarding Tony's words, Steve glanced down at the shield in his hand, then raised his head and said.

"You always speak on the side that you think is 'good', captain, or, we were not on the same side from the beginning."

The enemy who killed his parents was right in front of him, and Steve's persuasion sounded more like a harsh mockery to Tony's ears.

Controlling the nano-robot behind him and transforming into a muzzle, Tony attacked Bucky without hesitation.

"Bucky!"

Seeing the Winter Soldier being targeted by a large number of muzzles, the expression on Steve's face changed suddenly.

"Hold me tight!"

And in an instant, Falcon Sam controlled the wings on his back, grabbed Bucky's body and smashed through the glass of the Avengers Building.

After watching the content of the video, he already knew that there was no possibility of peaceful coexistence between Bucky and Tony right now.

As a supporter of Captain America, it is naturally impossible for him to watch the conflict happen.

Seeing the Falcon flying away with the Winter Soldier, Tony unexpectedly did not pursue it.

He suppressed his inner emotions and turned to look at Captain America.

"If you choose to help him, then from the moment you turn around, we are no longer friends and we are no longer the Avengers."

Steve could feel the determination in Tony's words.

However, his eyes fell on Falcon and the glass that the Winter Soldier smashed, and the shield in his hand was tightened, but he still made his own decision in his heart.

"About your parents, I'm sorry Tony, but Bucky is my only surviving comrade in arms in this world."

After giving his own answer, Steve turned around resolutely.

"..."

"So, we're not friends..."
