The Great Winter Soldier

After all, Nicole did not imprison Xia Tian for a year and a half. In fact, she came up with breakfast. After feeding the "little wolverine" downstairs, Nicole returned to Sanxia with a loving breakfast. On the first floor, seeing Xia Tian staring at the ceiling in a daze, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He put the dinner plate on the bedside table, casually recalled the two Uru Swords in his hands, and casually placed them in the corner.

Summer was finally able to move around freely, and the first thing I did was to go to the toilet...

"Sir, Tony Stark wants to arrange a time to meet with you, and he also intends to visit you." Fortress's voice lingered in the bathroom.

Xia Tian closed the shower with one hand, wiped his wet face, and said: "Tony Stark"

"Yes, he has contacted us many times when you were not on Earth, and those times it was Darwin and Pietro who came forward." Fortress responded, "At first they took a wait-and-see attitude towards the registration bill and said they would wait. You will decide after you come back. After you came back, they also followed your wishes and refused to sign the Superhero Registration Act."

"Yeah." Xia Tian took a bath towel and wiped his hair. It seemed that Iron Man still wanted to get him to join his gang.

"Sir, Steve is trying to talk to you. He is waiting for you on the line." Fortress's voice sounded again, leaving Xia Tian completely helpless.

"These two people are tacitly understanding each other." Xia Tian sighed secretly and shook his head, as if his attitude had become a key point in the civil war.

"Ten minutes ago, the relevant agencies have identified the key suspect in the attack on the conference building through investigation. The audio-visual data is very clear. All clues point to James Barnes, your comrade, another Winter Soldier." Side of the fortress Answering Summer's question, it looks like the two leading superheroes have gotten the news as well.

"Put it through." Xia Tian walked out of the bathroom, and the sound of Fortress also switched to the bedroom. Because it was broadcast outside, Nicole could hear it clearly.

"I'm back." Steve really didn't even say hello, he just said this.

"Yeah." Xia Tian signaled Nicole to be silent. He sat down at the table, took the juice on the plate and drank it.

Nicole listened to the conversation between the two, thoughtfully picked up the juice jug, and poured another glass of peach juice for Xia Tian.

"Come with me to a funeral." This was the second sentence Steve said. His tone was faint, but you could hear that there was a slight hint of request in it.

Xia Tian's movements paused slightly. If Steve opened his mouth and talked about the registration bill, Xia Tian might still refuse and stay out of the matter based on his own principles and ignore the battle on the earth level.

After all, Xia Tian has made it very clear to the team members, and he also thinks clearly that this is a battle with no right or wrong. Each side has its own correct reasons. Xia Tian does not want to get involved in this mess, this There may be injuries and divisions in the battle, but this is the way things develop.

Such contradictions began to brew several years ago. Once such a concept sprouts, no one can stop its growth. There must always be an appropriate way for superheroes to coexist with ordinary humans and countries. There are inevitable twists and turns on the road to finding the right way. Ever since people with superpowers emerged frequently, until today, this society needs to go through such a painful period in order to develop healthily.

Xia Tian certainly hopes that both of them can find a peaceful way to end the conflict after the friction occurs, but if Xia Tian intervenes, it will be a completely different situation. No matter which side he joins, this side will basically gain an overwhelming advantage.

Only when the two sides are evenly matched can they find a compromise solution and achieve peaceful coexistence.

If any party has an overwhelming advantage, then there are only two possible outcomes: either a powerful hegemony, or a desperate resistance and a desperate struggle. It's hard to find the middle ground. Xia Tian's ambition is not here. His eyes are eagerly staring at the vast universe outside, so he does not want to see this earth crisis develop to any extreme.

But what did this old popsicle say about accompanying him to a funeral? When Captain America woke up again 70 years later, his contemporaries had long since died, leaving him alone to face this bizarre world. So, Whose funeral is he going to?

Xia Tian knew that Captain America was supposed to attend his lover's wedding. Decades ago, Captain America fought bravely on the Red Skull's plane and finally completed the mission, but also found that he was facing A poignant choice, he had to fly the plane

Rushing into the snowy mountains and falling into the ice.

And the woman named Peggy Carter had been sitting at the console, accompanying Steve on the final journey. In tears, the woman made an appointment with Steve to go to the dance together next Saturday. Captain America, who had always moved forward bravely, backed down. At that time, Steve controlled a plane full of bombs and rushed into the ice and snow, leaving behind the words "I'm afraid our date will be postponed."

This appointment was more than 70 years late. Xia Tian vaguely remembered that Steve visited Peggy Carter after waking up, but this belated appointment was in the hospital bed. A man who is still in his prime faces an old and waning woman. The scene is extremely sad.

Peggy Carter's brain was already confused. She stared at Steve suddenly appearing in her ward. She didn't know how long she had been looking at her. Hot tears slowly flowed from her cloudy eyes. Summer was already here. It was impossible to tell whether the tears represented joy or sadness. That scene left a deep mark on Xia Tian's mind.

For this pair of men and women who spanned centuries, their fate was so unfortunate, starting in a hurry and ending in a hurry.

From a personal perspective, Steve made an invitation to Xia Tian on such an important occasion, hoping to get Xia Tian's company and help. Xia Tian really had no reason to refuse.

"When?" Xia Tian sighed and asked.

"In three days, Winchester, England." Steve's voice was very soft, and he hung up the phone without any more words.

"Fortress, find Darwin." Xia Tian was silent for a while, then ordered.

Far away in a Disney castle in Eastern Europe, Darwin immediately wired up.

"Go to Zoya and ask her to give you a detailed address. Find a Hydra base in Siberia, which is the base where I once trained in Hydra. Your special operations team has visited it. It has already been Abandoned." Xia Tian issued the order. The special operations team had already gone back and forth several times in Xia Tian's former training base, but they had never found the two missing winter soldiers, and they didn't know if they were Xia Tian's butterflies. The wings were blown away by the two Winter Soldiers.

After all, Xia Tian brought Nicole back to the base, and took away Victor and Zoya by force. The other two Winter Soldiers were probably sent out by Hydra at that time, or were under special protection. He woke up, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. In short, Skye did not find the two Winter Soldiers in this world.

"Oh, Captain, we have been there many times and it was abandoned. Then I..." Darwin was a little confused and asked tentatively, "What should I do?"

"Waiting for a person, a person named Zemo." Xia Tian thought about it and felt that what he said was a bit redundant. After all, in that barren mountain and wild ridge, there was no one inhabited for hundreds of miles. No one would go there. The only one there was Zemo, who was following the clues. "By the way, Skye got those video materials in the base back a few months ago."

"Yes, Captain, you personally assigned the missions at that time. They are all kept intact in Disney." Darwin has been leading the special operations team and is very impressed by those missions.

"Well, let's go now. After meeting Zemo, escort him back to Disneyland and imprison him." After Xia Tian gave the order, he saw Nicole's searching eyes. She sat across the table and cut the omelette with a knife and fork. , forked a piece and sent it to Xia Tian's mouth.

"What happened at the funeral and... who is Zemo?" Nicole asked.

"It should be the funeral of Steve's lover 70 years ago. There are only a handful of funerals that he can attend. After all, most of his contemporaries' comrades have passed away." Xia Tian explained.

"Ah" Nicole was stunned for a moment, holding Xia Tian's palm with one hand, and asked softly, "Steve's lover 70 years ago"

"Yes, girlfriend, but the kind that has been agreed for life, can be regarded as a lover." Xia Tian nodded.

Nicole pursed her lips and sighed softly: "He must be very sad."

"It's been 5 years since Steve woke up. He has already digested everything he should have endured. He should be fine. He is Captain America." Xia Tian said casually, and the hand holding the knife paused slightly and said, " You go to those good bottles in the cellar.”

"Maybe he needs a hearty fight from you." Nicole put her palm on Xia Tian's left hand and squeezed it gently.

"Yeah, that's right." Xia Tian nodded lightly.
