[Black shield and white tank] A line of sea and sky

Hydra has existed since before Schmidt took control, and it is difficult to describe in detail where its original power is hidden.On the surface, it is said that the Far Star Project can allow the various branches of Hydra to communicate with the holders of the original power, but in fact the communication is only one-way.It is nothing more than conveying, listening, guessing, executing.

This communication was deified because of the weirdness of the way, so that only two types of people will appear to lead Hydra each time—one is politicians like Red Skull and Pierce, who pass all the way and use their subtle political skills to control Hydra. The wrist and powerful armed forces climbed to the top of power; one category, such as Grant Ward, appeared directly as a powerful supernatural person after touching the original power, convincing the followers of Hydra.

In the latter case, no one can complain, just like when God appointed a candidate to be the king, and the king showed extraordinary strength-the believers had to obey.

This time, God seems to have played a joke on everyone.It is none other than Captain America who bears the brunt of every action to eradicate Hydra with this kind of "force majeure".

This is a shocking fact.But no matter how shocking it is, facts are facts.

"You can disbelieve me, but you can't say it." Steve Rogers said this when he first appeared in the secret stronghold of the organization.

The soldiers who reacted rushed forward, and the result can be imagined.None of the people who came up in the first circle survived, while the soldiers who caught up in the second circle stopped.

This is not Steve Rogers, because even with the perfect serum, anyone who has fought Captain America, or even just heard about his legend, knows that his strength is not enough to kill a person in a split second.

Nor does his morality allow it.

Facing the corpses of a dozen soldiers, the rest took half a step back.

Then he showed his shield.That's not the one Iron Man gave him, that one was returned to the Avengers after Civil War.He disappeared briefly for a while, and during this time everyone thought-he just wanted to take his comrade Bucky Barnes away.

So no one knows what kind of shield he is holding now.Only the logo of the red skull is distinctive and unusual, marking his identity, his authority, and his position.

He's Steve Rogers, but he's not.

He's coming to take over Hydra, with or without permission.

"It has nothing to do with John Schmidt, and he didn't authorize me. No one authorized me. Even if he came back, he was just my subordinate."

He uttered wild words, but there was no fear on his face.

He was crazy, everyone thought so.He has every reason to break down, because everything around him no longer exists.

Iron Man is dead, three months after the end of the Civil War.His reactor was taken out, and he died in the same way as before.His fragile heart was eroded by those metal fragments and ions, and he became a real Iron Man, lying forever in the laboratory with electronic lights.

On the day Iron Man died, Black Widow tried to contact Captain America, and Steve answered the phone, and he also appeared.He stayed quietly in front of Iron Man's corpse for a day and a night, and said a word the next day - "I will bring him back, no matter what method is used."

But he didn't come back, and one day, two days, three days, Steve never answered the old phone again.A week later, Black Widow and others went directly to Steve's apartment and broke in, but no trace of Steve was found.

The old telephone was lying quietly in his drawer, and everything in the room was normal except for a light layer of dust.That's when Steve disappeared, without taking his shield or donning his iconic uniform.

Two weeks later James Rowdy, donning half body armor, attended the ceremony.His lower body still couldn't move smoothly, but it didn't matter, with the armor and battle suit, the physical body was not enough to imprison his movements.Others call him the second Iron Man, although he has been reluctant to admit it.

"Iron Man has only one Tony Darke, and no one can replace him." He said.But looking at the audience in the audience, the person Iron Man wanted to see the most, still has no news.

The Avengers disbanded, and the departure of the two leaders left the organization incomplete.

Just when this so-called righteous person was most vulnerable, Barnes escaped.

I don't know who thawed him out, and even the black panther didn't notice the slightest movement.He was in the room where the Winter Soldier's freezer was, and that ray of light appeared out of nowhere.The panther took a few steps back, raised his arms to block the glare of the light, and seemed to see a man wearing a cloak in a daze, with gray temples and a goatee beard.

But before he could stop him, or even see the face of the comer clearly, the man disappeared in an instant.

Looking closely, it wasn't just the treacherous man who disappeared, there was an imprint on the location of the cryogenic cabin, but the cabin disappeared.

There was no sign of tampering in the room, no extra footprints, and even the cameras couldn't find that piece of evidence.The screen showed a sudden light, followed by snowflakes for a few seconds, and when the recording system returned to normal, only Black Panther was sitting on the floor of the room.

Everything that happened just now was like a hallucination, and the Winter Soldier disappeared again.

That's all, but it's not all.These things happened suddenly, and everyone knew that there must be a connection.But what is the connection, and who triggered this series of devastating disasters, no one knows.

Until Captain America smashed everything in the past, and then changed his identity, and appeared in front of the world with the title of Captain Hydra.

"This is a new era," he called a meeting, and no one dared to be absent. "I will complete the task that none of your previous leaders could complete. I will establish a new order."

— a new order.From the order of pain, blood, and sacrifice.

Rumlow was supported and sat in a corner of the conference hall, watching the people on the stage announcing the news of his succession.It all seemed ridiculous to him, so he grinned hoarsely, and Steve turned his gaze to him.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, and the meeting continued.

Even if Rumlow is seriously injured, as long as he is not in a coma, he must attend the meeting.His power of life and death is in the hands of the top organization, because he was guilty, he was sentenced to death.He accompanied the Winter Soldier for more than 70 years, and the defection of the Winter Soldier was no different from his defection.He didn't fulfill his duty as captain, so he deserves to be sent to the electric chair.

The sentencing took place before the start of the Civil War and after the Winter Soldier had fled.After searching for nothing for a long time, he gradually developed the consciousness to confess his guilt.So on the day of the actual trial, he volunteered to fight for the final battle.He will once again assassinate Captain America and die with Steve Rogers.

The organization agreed to him, this is not a personal grudge.This is his final bargaining chip for atonement, and it is also the best ending he can think of.

But he still didn't die.still none.

The bomb went off, nearly shattering his eardrums.His whole body was burning, as if he had entered the depths of the furnace.He wandered in the dark for a long time and walked for a long time, as if he could see the dawn of heaven or the lake of fire in hell if he persisted for a while.

But when he opened his eyes, he saw the cold lights of the operating room.

Then someone told a joke in his ear, and in a few days, he was there to see the details of the comedy.

The person he assassinated stood on the stage, from a sworn enemy to a commanding team.The other party's impassioned announcement of the war initiative is as firm as the countless vows to punish rape and eradicate evil.

Blonde hair, blue eyes.Furious emotion, decisive attitude.He was that Steve Rogers, whom Rumlow knew all too well.But he was wearing a red and black uniform, which made the old acquaintance strange and strange.

At the end of the meeting he walked by Rumlow, his hand firmly on Crossbones' shoulder—

"You are meritorious, your sins have been redeemed." He said, "You tried your best when you assassinated me, and I can see your loyalty to the organization."

Turns out he's not out of his mind like Bucky Barnes, he's sober.He remembered everything, every person, every word, every encounter.He was stronger than Steve, and Rumlow couldn't say a word due to his cramped aura.So Rumlow can only laugh.Rumlow laughed so hard that every bone in his body ached.Laughed tears, laughed cracked the wound.

Steve smiled, too, the same way he smiled every time he smiled at Tony Stark, at Bucky Barnes, at Sam Wilson, at all his trusted comrades in arms.With a gentle expression, he gradually walked away amidst Rumlow's ugly sucking sound.The shield is on his back, and the Hydra logo is dazzling.

This is a symbol of justice and hope. Of course, as long as it is carried on Steve Rogers' back, no matter what the symbol is, it symbolizes justice and hope.

Yes, this is a dream.It's just that the dream extended to reality, and the reality seemed grotesque, broken and distorted.But Steve said, this is a new era.Of course there will be many new things, all you need is awareness and adaptation.

Every era has its own characteristics, and Rumlow as a mercenary is as clear as Pierce as a politician.Perhaps he knew better than Pierce, so Pierce did not survive, but he has survived to this day.

After the meeting he returned to the cold ward.Turn on the TV and watch the turmoil of the situation.But all of this has nothing to do with him, because most of them are illusions fabricated to deal with the riots of the people.

The Avengers promised to track down the real culprit of Iron Man's death, the Black Panther declared that he would find the whereabouts of the Winter Soldier, War Machine and Falcon firmly believed that Steve did not really disappear, he was just in trouble, and in a few days, he would be safe and sound Reappear in front of everyone.

Yes, they are all right, because even they don't know where to start, so they can only use the most decisive attitude to force everyone to believe their nonsense.

They couldn't track down the real culprit who killed Iron Man, because even Tony Duck's body wasn't in the coffin they thought.Less than a few days after the burial, he was secretly brought into the organization by Steve and frozen in the most rigorous laboratory.

Steve spends some time every day inside and doesn't allow anyone to disturb him or allow anyone to trespass.He may be the one who can really track down the cause of Iron Man's death, but now even he is helpless.

His performance seems to say that he still has a little bit of Steve Rogers' shadow left, at least the part of his feelings for Tony Dak has not faded away.But no one is sure whether the reason behind the investigation of the cause of death is really as simple as returning the truth to Tony Duck.

After all, no one knows the current Steve, and no one knows Captain Hydra.

So, likewise, it's impossible for the Avengers to find Steve, because he hasn't stepped out of the base since he arrived.The newly appointed leader has to bear too much discussion and questioning. In order to calm down the rampant suspicion, he needs to set off an internal purge.

Every coup d'état brings about a top-down change of blood, which is inevitable. Everyone must be careful and determine their positions.No one in the organization cared too much about the news from the outside world. They saw more than the Avengers, and they worried more than they did.

So most of them don't care where the Winter Soldier went, just as they haven't had time to care about who should fill in the gaps after several reformers were destroyed by Zemo.

Except Brock Rumlow.

Yes, the Winter Soldier is Rumlow's biggest concern.Where has he gone, will he be found, will he be caught, is he frozen or awake, is he thinking of the Winter Soldier or Bucky Barnes...

This is what is closely related to Rumlow, even if he can only sit in the ward, day after day, waiting for true or false news from the outside world.Then he waited, and got his wish.

The group intercepted the man, but it soon became apparent that he was neither Bucky nor the Winter Soldier.He's a chaotic guy with two incomplete souls living in a body.The only thing that was clear in the engineer's mind was that he was going to break in here, that he was going to find his special attack captain, who had all the answers he needed.

It's also a key factor in his capture, but of course, in the eyes of the chaotic Winter Soldier, it's an inescapable fate.

"I want to see him." The moment he heard the news, Rumlow lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Steve personally brought the news, but the purpose was not as good as Rumlow thought.

"You can't see him, he's in jail. He's a criminal, and he's awaiting trial." Steve grabbed Brock's shoulders, pushing him back so hard that he was in place.

"...I want to see him, he's not sober." Rumlow repeated, his eyes fixed on Steve's face.

The fact that the Winter Soldier can get it back means that he still remembers this place, and he still needs it, and Brock believes that in this dark training camp, there is nothing the Winter Soldier needs except himself.

Steve laughed, and he had that smile that made Rumlow want to punch him again.He let go of his hand, walked slowly to the foot of Rumlow's bed, crossed his arms, and raised his chin slightly.

"Maybe you didn't catch what I was saying, Brock," Steve said.

Well, he's starting to call him Bullock now.Even when Rumlow infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D., he did not receive such preferential treatment from Captain America, but now he is a little more kind and trusting.

But this friendship made Rumlow shudder.

"Neither have you," Rumlow raised the corners of his mouth provocatively, propped himself up and sat up, "I said, I want to see him."

Steve didn't answer.He stared at Rumlow for a while, then shook his head.Then he said something that Rumlow didn't understand at the time——

"You know, Brock, every guide needs his sentry, and you were the guide of the Winter Soldier once, and you were a very good guide," he said slowly, so slowly that Rumlow could catch every word. Words - "But now you are a sentry, you can only be my sentry."

Rumlow frowned and asked vigilantly, "...what do you mean?"

Steve still smiled, but still didn't answer directly.

Rumlow didn't understand, even though it didn't sound like a good thing.But it doesn't matter, Steve sometimes has time for him to understand, and sometimes has opportunities to force him to learn to surrender to himself slowly.

The Winter Soldier is indeed behind bars, but whether there will be a trial is another matter.In the final analysis, it was just a formality, going through the motions, and then adding the pre-determined results to the Winter Soldier, so that everything seemed logical and aboveboard.

But Steve will show his magnanimity, even before he said in the judgment seat-"Whether you are loyal to S.H.I.E.L.D. or to Hydra, you are a traitor. No matter what capacity I judge you , you are unforgivable."

The Winter Soldier raised his head, looking at the comrade who had rescued him in dire straits and desperately kept him safe, and now was about to put him to death.His expression was indifferent and numb, and maybe he didn't even need to be shocked, because this world has become unfamiliar, and all familiar symbols no longer exist.

"But because you have been forced to brainwash, many things are not out of your subjective will, and you don't even have a clear cognition to make a judgment on your actions, so you will be temporarily put in prison and strictly guarded. Until you have the consciousness of repentance, we will convict as appropriate."

Yes, Steve will always cut corners.It's just that the past lenient was because of his life-and-death friendship with Barnes, but the current lenient has too many interests involved.

Is Steve still that former comrade in arms?Is it still that childhood friend?Or the one who is willing to accompany him to the end of the world?

No, it's not.He is the supreme leader of HYDRA, and now, with the mercy of his leader, Bucky Barnes-or the Winter Soldier-is allowed to live.

A way to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

Rumlow, who learned the result of the trial, once again made a request to Steve - "I want to see him, you must let me see him!"

Howling, he knocked the vase and plate off the edge of the table.He was pinned down by two soldiers, whose fingers dug into his sores.Blood spilled over the overlapping bandages, and the gloves were also stained with wetness.

"You haven't recognized your position yet," Steve stood opposite him, condescendingly looking down at the poor half-lived creature, "you also haven't understood what I said last time."

Rumlow really didn't get it, and the violent reaction and obsession to see the Winter Soldier showed that he couldn't figure it out on his own, so Steve decided to help him understand.

He had two soldiers turn the wishbone over and tie their wrists to the edge of the bed.Then he twisted the towel into a strip and stuck it in Rumlow's mouth.Then let the two leave and guard the door of the ward.He closed the windows and drew the curtains.The ward was so dark that there were only dim lights left.He turned down the temperature of the air conditioner, letting the cold wind blow directly on the person on the bed.

"You're still useful, so you don't have the right to die." Rumlow couldn't utter the decisive words, so Steve guessed what he was thinking and answered for him—"But you have to learn to adapt, people We all need to change, and we can live better if we adapt.”

For example, you have to rebuild your beliefs, just like rebuilding after a disaster.Forget the 70-year bond with the Winter Soldier, forget about those annoying and heavy and lengthy pasts, forget about failure, forget about death, forget about the painful sacrifices you made, and then return to the battlefield wholeheartedly and without distraction.

——You are my soldier, you can only be restrained by me.You can only obey my orders, and you can only see the figure of your only leader.

Steve fucked him.In order to make him submit, Captain Hydra is willing to use all means.Rumlow had no way to resist, the handcuffs cut his wrists, and the corners of his mouth were ground with blood.He tried his best not to make a sound, but the creaking of the bed became the most tragic symphony.

After the catharsis was done, he was untied and turned over.The Hydra logo on the opponent's shirt was enlarged before his eyes, and then his hair was pulled up, forcing him to meet those impure blue eyes.

"Hope this helps you understand the order." Steve said mildly, the corners of his mouth raised in a precise but chilling arc, "I know you don't want to learn it a second time, but first you have to let me see you awareness."

Steve let go, and Rumlow slammed back into the pillow.Then the captain thoughtfully covered the messy bed and people with a quilt, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the ward.

Rumlow stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, the bleak lights on the ceiling did not change, the cold wind was blowing at him, but he was sweating profusely.

The scorching sun outside the house, but the curtains quietly blocked the harsh light, the sunlight could not come in, and the room was still cold and dark.
