Superman in Marvel: Practicing Devouring Techniques, Unrivaled in the Universe

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're saying, Stark. Bucky died seventy years ago. What do you mean you killed him?"

A neighborhood in Brooklyn.

An underground gym with poor lighting and walls so dilapidated that bricks are exposed.

Tony found Captain America who was exercising shirtless and confessed to him about Bucky's death and the cause.

Steve frowned deeply, thinking that Stark was making fun of him.

Honestly.

He knew about the past experiences of the son of his current superior and old friend.

I also know that the other party would be a little frivolous.

But I didn't expect it to be so frivolous.

"You think I'm kidding?" Tony shook his head.

"Well, you should think so. After all, this sounds ridiculous. Coming back from the dead and then being killed again. God, it really seems like the sickest joke... But I'm serious."

Tony took a few steps away, not looking at Steve's expression.

"Bucky didn't die. He was frozen by Hydra and survived until the modern era."

"You know that Hydra has revived within the Strategic Scientific Corps, also known as S.H.I.E.L.D."

"And Bucky is one of them," Tony said.

"Impossible, Bucky will never join Hydra no matter how much pain he is tortured!" Steve stared at Tony.

"Of course, you're right, he didn't join, he was brainwashed."

"Look at this." Tony threw a thumb-sized projection "mobile phone" to Captain America.

It was a small, crystal-textured square device, the latest smartphone recently launched by Stark Electronics Technology.

It cast a translucent screen of light into Steve's hand.

Files related to the Winter Soldier and Hydra popped up on the screen.

Steve just took a look and his expression became serious.

He quickly scanned all the information.

The file records in detail Bucky's journey from being picked up to being taken back to the Hydra base.

To be cured, reformed, brainwashed, and frozen.

Finally, it is unsealed when needed to carry out the killing mission.

Steve even saw Howard Stark's name on the mission list.

His rapidly sliding fingers stopped instantly.

His eyes stopped at the line "December 1991, 12, Howard Stark and his wife were killed. Adopted son Leon Stark survived."

After a few seconds Steve took a deep breath: "Is this all true...?"

"The truth doesn't lie." Tony stopped walking.

"He killed Howard." Steve was silent.

"Yes."

"I'm so sorry, Star…Tony."

"No need. He has already paid the price and died in my hands." Tony looked at the wall beside him.

Steve opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

In fact, he didn't even know what mood he was in.

He just felt that his thoughts were confused.

Bucky did not die under the ice cliff and was still alive, but he was first controlled by Hydra, killed Howard, and then died at the hands of Tony.

This huge information entered my mind too quickly.

So fast that Steve couldn't react.

Before he could be happy about Bucky's survival, Bucky died again.

But it was hard for him to be sad about Bucky's death again.

Because in his heart, Bucky had been dead for a long time.

Even a few days ago, he went to the place where they grew up together to pay tribute to each other.

He was sure that Bucky had remained under the ice cliff seventy years ago, remaining in his memory of decades of backwardness.

So even if we know the real truth now.

But for him at this moment.

This news was just like a gutted fish jumping when it is put into the frying pan.

Apart from a moment of surprise in his heart, it did not evoke any more emotions in him except regret.

After all, he didn't have time to feel surprised and excited about the news that Bucky was not dead, nor did he have time to feel strong emotional fluctuations.

Then I was told that Bucky was really dead...

Steve stood in silence for a long time.

Finally he sighed deeply.

"Was he still under control when you killed him? Did he have any...last words?" he asked in a low voice.

"He was no different from any other Hydra soldier back then." Tony didn't answer directly.

Steve lowered his eyelids and nodded: "I understand... Go away, Tony, please leave me alone for a while."

Tony waited a few seconds and spread his hands: "Nothing else?"

"What else do you want?" Steve frowned in confusion.

To be honest, he was not in a good mood at the moment and just wanted to be alone.

No one would feel good if they knew that their best friend, whom they had grown up with, survived the war, but killed another friend, and was then killed by the son of this friend in revenge.

Maybe he blamed Tony a little in his heart.

Blame him for killing Bucky, an innocent man who was manipulated by others.

But this thought is just a reflection of emotion, not Steve's real thoughts.

He didn't actually feel too much anger towards Tony.

I just wonder how this world can be so fucked up.

And such a shitty thing happened to him.

This feeling of being extremely unlucky would make anyone feel extremely bad.

But Tony obviously didn't notice this.

Before he came, he prepared for the worst, thinking that he would be punched directly and then the two sides would start fighting.

So I unconsciously started talking nonsense.

"I'm sorry, I just thought you would be sad enough to cry. After all, you are all old popsicles left over from that era, and you would be reluctant to let go. And then I..."

"Wait, what did you just say?" Captain America frowned again, his bad mood showing signs of getting ignited.

"What was that word just now, popsicle?" He walked up to Tony and glared at him, "You should have some respect for your father's friends, especially his dead friend, Stark Jr."

Steve's original intention was to remind Tony that he was his father's friend, so he didn't care about his previous disrespect.

But this sentence also hit Tony's pain point accurately.

Tony sneered and tilted his head: "Little Stark? Are you saying you are my uncle?"

He originally had hostility towards Captain America, who was praised by his father, and this time he completely did not hide it.

"It's really interesting that an old guy who has been in cold storage for half a century can't keep up with the times, but wants to keep up with his generation."

He poked Captain America's chest with his index finger, "Excuse me, question - does my father know that he is your friend?"

"A friend who slept for seventy years and never said a word of concern to him after waking up?"

Steve looked at Tony coldly: "I looked up Howard's situation before I learned about modern history. I also thought he died in a car accident."

"If you wanted to irritate me with just your mouth, you succeeded, Stark."

"And if you keep poking that finger into my chest, maybe we'll have to talk about something else!"

"Oh! Really?" Tony laughed exaggeratedly.

"We have to talk about other principles~"

He imitated Captain America's speech.

Then he opened his hands, "I knew there was this part, so what are you waiting for? If you want to fight, start now!"

Steve bit his teeth and opened his lips slightly: "Very good, you asked for it!"

He suddenly punched Tony accurately on the chin and then punched him in the abdomen, bending his waist.

Then he looked down at Tony and said, "You are far inferior to your brother. The company he founded is willing to use all the income from my IP to help war refugees, but you are just an arms dealer!"

Most of what Steve knows about Tony comes from the Internet and information.

"The largest arms dealer in the United States half a year ago", "Playboy", "The prodigal Iron Man".

That was his impression of Tony.

His identity as an arms dealer made him extremely prejudiced against Tony.
