The Great Winter Soldier

"Open the cell door." Valkyrie looked at the two soldiers guarding in front of the huge stone door and said calmly.

"Gudu." The guard swallowed and looked at the group of powerful men and women behind the Valkyrie. He was a little unsure of what to do. From a work perspective, he should be loyal. But from his own perspective, he shouldn't die.

"Alas." Qin Gray shook her head helplessly. Apparently she had just recovered from the memory of the Valkyrie. She looked at the two guards. Two seconds later, the two guards' eyes were equally dull and they turned around. Without hesitation he opened the cell door.

It was pitch black inside.

This is a huge stone room, at least 100 square meters in size. Under the dark environment, it is quiet and eerie. You can hear the heavy breathing, like a beast hidden in the darkness waiting for an opportunity to hunt for food.

One of the guards stepped forward. Although he was controlled, his instinctive reaction made his body start to tremble. He carefully turned on a switch, and the torch on the wall was automatically ignited. In an instant, the dark stone room became like Bright as day.

Under the flickering firelight, people saw a green mountain of flesh curled up in the far corner, which was the Hulk.

"Bruce Banner" Thor took a step forward and shouted.

Roshan squatted and leaned in the corner, his huge figure undulating slightly, and his breathing was so heavy that it was scary. He seemed not to have heard Thor's call and remained in that posture, silent.

"Dr. Banner" Thor stepped forward cautiously, "Don't panic, we are here to rescue you."

Nicole quietly came up behind Qin Grey, and asked softly: "How's it going, little guy, did you get what I wanted?"

"Well, yes, Sister Nicole." Jean Gray nodded obediently, with a complicated look on her face, "She is indeed...well, she is a little tired."

"What do you mean?" Nicole's eyes lit up, she put her arm around Qin Gray's shoulders and walked out of the stone door.

Xia Tian saw this situation, but did not say anything.

"Now, tell me everything." Nicole led Jean Gray to the door and said softly.

"Well, she has experienced thousands of years of guarding Asgard, fought in north and south, and encountered all kinds of powerful enemies. In fact, she is not alone. She has a team. Although they can't say Everyone is a Valkyrie, but they are not much different." Qin Gray organized her words and lowered her head slightly. In this dark tunnel, the flickering torch light made her bright eyes Her eyes were shining slightly, "She is tired."

"I thought the Valkyrie would have a strong will." Nicole turned around, leaned her back against the wall, folded her hands around her chest, and tilted her head to look at Qin Gray beside her.

"Yes, it was indeed like this at the beginning." Qin Gray nodded, "They are all a group of people with firm hearts and strong strength. However, such a heart has been lost in the battles in the north and south. She was stabbed all over and wiped out, well, I can’t say it was completely scratched. In short, something happened that hit her very hard."

"What's going on?" Nicole raised her eyebrows.

"Their team has experienced many hard battles and attrition many times. One of them was in the underworld, one of the nine worlds of the World Tree. Their team was almost completely wiped out. Their opponent was the goddess of death. ." Qin Gray bit her lip, looking a little sad, as if she didn't want to think of that sad memory.

Nicole looked at the depressed girl, and her heart softened slightly. Qin was still so kind, and could not help but get caught up in other people's miserable stories. Nicole knew that this time Qin Gray chose to help her, she should This situation has also been anticipated.

If it was to simply obtain some information, Qin Gray did not need to delve into the other party's brain, but the order Nicole gave her was to learn all about Valkyrie's past, so...

Everyone has sad memories to some extent, not to mention Valkyrie, the Valkyrie who has lived for thousands of years and has seen a lot.

"Come here." Nicole held Jean Gray's hand, hugged her into her arms, and gently smoothed her long golden-red hair, "I'm sorry, Jean, for the trouble I've caused you. I'm really sorry, you were too kind, maybe... maybe I should go to Wanda for help."

"I can do it." Qin Gray raised her head from Nicole's arms, looked at Nicole with a stubborn expression, and continued, "Their team was almost wiped out, and she was the only one left. The cohesion of that team was very high, they were very united and as close as family. The blow was really too big for Valkyrie. She fought like crazy with the goddess of death in the underworld for dozens of days and nights. Night, but..."

"But she failed." Nicole said with a heavy face.

"Yes, the underworld is the home of the Goddess of Death. It is really difficult for the Valkyrie to break it. Finally, God King Odin took action, but he did not eliminate the Goddess of Death, but pushed the Goddess of Death further.

Sealed in the underworld, Valkyrie could not accept the fact that after all, her team was wiped out, so she just...well, she rode away on the white Pegasus, and then... ..." Qin Gray said with some pity, "Then she gave up the symbolic Pegasus and left Asgard. "

"This is her story." Nicole nodded, her cold palms unconsciously smoothing the girl's long hair, and she slowly fell into deep thought.

"She began to wander among the stars, looking for a way to heal herself. After so many years, although she never returned to Asgard, she silently guarded Asgard where people could not see it. "Qin Gray nodded and said.

The flickering firelight reflected Nicole's face, and the woman's deep purple eyes shone strangely under the firelight. Jean Gray could see that Nicole's thinking eyes slowly Become determined.

"Sister Nicole, this is not a good position. It will imprison you for your whole life. You may gain great power, but you will pay a price." Qin Gray said with concern.

"Little guy, you got the causal relationship wrong. I want to stay with Xia Tian all the time, so becoming a Valkyrie is the so-called price." Nicole rubbed Qin Gray's head dotingly, "Don't worry, everything I bear the consequences and all the responsibilities. Have you found a way to inherit the Valkyrie?"

"That is not something you can succeed with your unilateral efforts. You need to be recognized by the Valkyrie. Judging from the situation in the arena just now, that Valkyrie should want you to get such an inheritance, and she wants to be freed. "Qin Gray sighed softly, "Her heart is far from as calm as her face shows. The battle in which the entire army was wiped out has always troubled her. She would dream of her comrades in arms countless times in her sleep. The figure, it looks really sad.”

"Yeah, I know." Nicole nodded.

At the same time, an unexpected roar came from the huge stone room behind Nicole: "I told you I don't want to go out."

bang bang

Thor was blown away like a ball by Hulk's big fan-like hand, and his back hit the stone wall hard.

"Huh...huh..." Hulk breathed heavily, his beast-like eyes full of madness and anger, and roared crazily at the people in Hell's Kitchen in front of him.

The huge sound echoed in the stone chamber, causing Wanda to cover her ears involuntarily. Is this beast going to pierce her eardrums?

"Listen to me, Banner, this is not the real you. You still have reason. Banner, you can't let the beast in your heart run rampant like this." Thor rubbed his head in pain and slowly got up. Turning to look at the stone wall behind him, he found that it was full of cracks. Thor smacked his lips helplessly and turned to look at Hulk, "My old friend, you have to recall everything we have experienced together."

"I don't care." Hulk walked towards Thor step by step. His huge and heavy body and surging momentum made everyone take a step back involuntarily.

"Banner, Bruce Banner, you can't waste your life here. The earth needs you, the Avengers need you, and we still have many unfinished missions." Thor was also angry and yelled, "Control your emotions. Looking back on this Thinking back on everything we have experienced together”

呯

Hulk blasted Thor with one hand, but was barely held up by Thor's elbow. However, Hulk stretched out his left hand and grabbed Thor's neck violently, pressing it against the wall: "I don't care."

"You" Thor shouted in shock, and the people from Hell's Kitchen around him were about to take action at the next moment, but...

Hulk's huge head suddenly lowered, his huge eyes stared closely at Thor's eyes, then turned to look at the group of hometown people from the earth, and said word by word: "I remember everything, I am not you I know all about that crazy monster in my imagination.”

"Oh, really?" Sol looked happy, his efforts finally succeeded.

"Like I said: I don't care" Hulk's huge eyes stared into Thor's.

Thor looked shocked and looked at the Hulk in front of him stupidly, somewhat confused.

swoosh

Hulk casually threw Thor towards Xia Tian, ​​turned around, and walked towards the corner of the stone room step by step with heavy steps: "Take your prince and leave here."

"Banner" Sol flew into the clouds for a while, and was finally caught by Xia Tian. Sol yelled anxiously.

Compared to Thor's anxiety, Hulk, who should have been furious, seemed so quiet at this time. He pressed the switch casually, a series of torches were annihilated, and the stone room fell into silence.

The beast slowly curled up in the corner, and everyone could only hear the heavy breathing and the hoarse and low words: "Leave here, you can't save a person who doesn't want to be saved."
