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

"Are you awake?" Steve's voice came sideways, and it took Tony a moment to realize his eyes were open.

The ceiling is silver gray, that's not putty powder, it's metal.Tony tried to move, but there was no strength in his arms, no strength in his whole body.

"You slept for 27 hours. I had the doctor examine your body. Your indicators are very stable, but you are weak." Steve said again, his voice approached from a distance, and his boots stepped on the floor , muffled sound.

"Traveling through the space-time channel will not hurt you very much. It should be the liquid metal in your body that protects you. Now you are safe and you are with me."

Tony closed his eyes again, and tried to open them again.He sat up on the edge of the bed and saw Steve at the foot of the bed—he was holding a dinner plate with orange juice and sandwiches on it.

Before Tony asked the question, Steve gave the information the other party wanted to know concisely and clearly.While digesting the information the other party said, Tony concentrated on scanning the surrounding environment and the people in front of him.

Steve put the dinner plate down first, pulled a pillow on Tony's back, propped up the simple dining table next to the bed frame, turned around and put the food on it - and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"But don't try to condense the liquid metal in your body, it's not good for your recovery. Eat something," Steve smiled and set his eyes on the sandwich, then raised his eyes to meet Tony's. "You're hungry, You need to replenish your energy."

- liquid metal...

Tony frowned suspiciously.

Hearing Steve mention the technology that shouldn't exist in this era, a strange feeling came from my heart.Naturally, he would not do what Steve asked, but immediately tried to infiltrate the liquid metal from his body the moment he heard about it.

But as soon as his idea took shape, the severe pain all over his body made him tremble.He let out a cry of surprise, gripping the edge of the bed with his fingers.At that moment just now, it felt like being pricked by countless steel needles, and what pricked was not the skin, but the muscles and bones.

His eyes widened in horror, and he turned to look at Steve angrily.

But the latter seemed to have expected him to have such a reaction, and held his hand first before asking the question, and replied softly—"Be obedient, don't condense the metal, it will make you very uncomfortable."

--feeling bad……

Tony stared at Steve warily for a couple of seconds before pulling his hand out of Steve's palm forcefully - being held by this man made him sick, even though he had the same features as Captain America.

Tony was resting on the backrest. According to what Steve said, the automatic scanning system in the cornea could not be activated.He would not risk his eyeballs suffering the severe pain of the first few seconds, so he made a rough observation of the surrounding environment with his naked eyes.

This is a very ordinary bedroom, except that the windows are separated by a steel bar, it is no different from an ordinary bedroom.

I don't know whether the walls are painted with metal or completely made of metal, all of which are reflected by the orange desk lamp on the table.According to the previous body's reaction, Tony guessed it was the latter.

"...What did you do to me?" Even though he had guessed, he still wanted to make sure.

"Magnetized the metal in your body." Steve smiled, and squeezed Tony's hand affectionately. "To be honest, the phenomenon of you injecting metal into your body really shocked the scientists in the organization."

"Magnetization?!" Tony was shocked. Hearing this dangerous word, he subconsciously wanted to condense the metal.But the stinging pain that swept through his whole body defeated him again, he opened his mouth to hold back the pain, and looked at Steve viciously—"How dare you!..."

"No, I don't want to do that." Steve interrupted him, hastily explaining, "I don't want to hurt you, but if I don't, I haven't figured out how to liquid metal—like you said, I haven't caught up with you yet."

As he spoke, Steve curled his lips, made an innocent expression, looked at Tony's dazed and angry look, and added—"But don't worry, the magnetic field in this room just prevents your metal from condensing, yes There is no physical harm, as long as—”

Tony froze for a moment, then suddenly grabbed the orange juice from the dinner plate and splashed it on Steve's face.

The orange juice spilled onto Steve's clothes and face, and the handsome face and the uniform with the Hydra crest that had not been taken off were covered with drops of water and flesh.

"You see, according to your temper, if I don't suppress your terrible ability, how can you listen to me well?"

Steve wasn't angry. As he spoke, he took a few pieces of paper from the table to wipe off the stains on his face and chest, and then threw the scraps of paper into the trash can.

Tony looked at him in disbelief, leaned on the edge of the bed and stumbled to his feet, separated from Steve by a bed, and asked in a cold voice-"...So what do you want to do?!"

Steve was silent for a while, then reintegrated the expressions on his face, took a step closer, and replied, "Why are you so guarded against me, you know I won't hurt you."

"No..." Seeing Steve approaching, Tony took a few steps back instinctively, raising his hand to stop between the two vigilantly.He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, "...Steve, I don't think you understand the situation. You know very well that I am not the 'Tony Darke' you love, I am another world Yes, I belong to another world, I have my—”

It's a pity that Tony still didn't finish, and was interrupted by Steve for the second time.

This time Steve stopped smiling, and slowly closed his expression, and the temperature in his eyes gradually dropped.His answer was cold and direct, dispelling Tony's delusions of peacefully getting back on track with one sentence—"You didn't have your Steve, and then you took my Tony."

Tony couldn't believe his ears.

In fact, everything Tony did was very covert, and he didn't even mention a single word about crossing and killing to Pepa.

From initiation to planning, to execution and ending of the whole plan, all the information only exists in Tony's mind, because he knows that he in another world is equally smart, once the murder information is recorded in any way, there will be It may be stolen through various unpredictable ways.

So he didn't say anything, and he didn't record anything. He even kept forcing himself to forget, because only in this way can he truly keep his mouth shut.

He didn't know how Steve got to know all of this, but obviously, Steve was well-thought-out, and he saw through Tony's doubts, and explained without hesitation——

"Tony, do you know that when you observe the whole world with your heavenly eyes, you are also part of the 'world'. You think you are looking at the world, but in fact the world is also looking at you."

Yes, the Iron Curtain will record everything, and its significance lies in its pervasiveness and meticulousness, so that there is nowhere to hide information from all over the world.

"Information is the most objective and reliable. It is not subject to the subjective control of the recorder, just like an eye that exists independently of the human world."

Yes, this is why Iron Man prefers to call the more gimmicky "Iron Curtain" "Eye of the Sky".The eye of heaven, the eye of God, omniscient, ruthless and desireless.

"So if you are reading the information they collected with your administrator privileges, do they even know that you were the one who controlled the keyboard one second, and I was the one who controlled the keyboard the next second?"

Yes, Tony can't help it.

His celestial eyes tracked the whole process of Steve's intrusion and pursuit of himself. Just before Steve knocked on the door, he just turned off the display device, but the program was still running in the background.

So Tony could know which way Steve went, asked which person came to the door of the Stark Building, knew that he waited outside the building all night and didn't go anywhere, and knew that he had put medicine in the cup, Knowing that the other party is plotting wrongdoing.

But it's a pity - "You didn't have time to turn off the administrator privileges. And to be honest, your design of the security system has not been out of your own way, relying on the knowledge my Tony taught me, lying to a program and pretending to be you It doesn't look that difficult."

It may be impossible for outsiders, but it is easy for Tony's pillow people.

Whether it is the password setting or the interception method of permissions, even the induced input of the self-starting alarm system is exactly the same as the Tony that Steve knew. Captain Hydra can even guess that even the blank line habit of typing program codes will be different. Dead Iron Man is no different.

Then there is nothing that can hide the truth and not leak.

The security system will never achieve [-]% security. This is the limitation of the program and its biggest loophole.

"We should be honest with each other." Steve went to get the paper towels again, and sucked up the juice spilled on the dinner plate.There's only one sandwich left on the plate, and he—"I'll get you a new one later."

Tony stood there for a while, but before going to the bed and sitting down, he found a single sofa by the window sill, and leaned over it bit by bit.Then he stood on the edge of the sofa for a while, and sat down again.

He couldn't be calm, but he needed time for his brain to sort out Steve's plan, so he looked into Steve's eyes inquiringly, and didn't respond for a while.

After about a minute, Tony's sanity was withdrawn from thinking.His eyes first fell on the cleaned dinner plate, then turned to the door, then turned to the small coffee table, and finally fell back to the face of the Hydra captain.

He has now understood every word Steve said, and he also knows that the other party has learned that he is the real culprit who killed the Iron Man of this world.It is not difficult to deduce this information from the other party's words. The difficult thing is to recognize where you are in this game and what the rules of the game are.

Relying on Steve's state, Tony determined that what the other party wanted was not to kill him to take revenge, on the contrary, to let this god who was already wearing white metal replace Tony's original position and fill the vacancy caused by the murder.

A void in Steve's heart.

"What's the matter? Are you really not going to come over?" Steve laughed again, as if scolding Stark for staying up late in the computer room again.His expression was relaxed and natural, as if the relationship between the two was not so sharp and cruel in the real sense.

Tony didn't move, the fingers of his left hand were pressed against his lips, his eyes were stern and serious.At the moment, he can't think of any effective forceful resistance. He is not familiar with this room, and he is not familiar with whether there are people or environments in this place that he can use. In addition, his body is really tired, and his whole body can't use any strength. The knock-on effect of metal magnetization, even though Steve says it doesn't hurt his physiology.

So Tony can adapt, give him a little time, he will figure out how to play this game.Then get through the levels of the game and find out how to escape.

Steve changed direction again, and walked back to where Tony was sitting with the tray in his hands after repeated defeats.

Tony's eyes were still rolling with Rogers' walking, until the latter came to him, he said lightly but meanly—"Do you think I will fall in love with you again, just like I traveled back to ancient times and fell in love with you again?" Is it the same as an unevolved orangutan? Sorry, I have no interest in humans and animals, and I don't have such a strong taste."

Tony tried to provoke Steve, and as long as the other party was angry, it was easy to expose loopholes and weaknesses.

Too bad Steve still isn't angry, his smile looks like it was ripped off an old Captain America face and sewed on to his own.He held Tony's hand tightly again, and pressed the shoulder of the person on the sofa with the other hand, slowly approaching.

Tony thought he was going to get another kiss that disgusted him, so he turned his head away.

But no, Steve stopped politely when they were almost touching each other, and then comforted softly in Tony's ear—"I won't force you, I can wait."

After speaking, she touched his ear gently.

is this a kissMaybe not at all.Just like Steve's jerky response back then, he couldn't even feel skin-to-skin contact if he didn't take the smell seriously.

Yes, in front of Tony, Steve always seems to be the original Steve.As long as Tony resists, he will never use strong methods to force and threaten.He can retreat to the distance first, wait and see what happens, and wait until the other party relaxes, and then approach patiently and gently.

He was restraining his anger, and the ups and downs of his chest calmed down bit by bit under his suppression.He couldn't force Tony, yes, he couldn't force him, because that's not what lovers do.

Tony didn't want the kiss, so he wouldn't give it to him.Tony didn't want to drink the orange juice, so he would wipe up the spilled juice bit by bit.Tony doesn't want to eat the sandwich on the table, that's okay, he just takes the plate away.Not angry, not accusing.He is his lover, and as a lover, he should be tolerant.

Captain Hydra acts like the real Steve, or tries to pretend to be.In his mind, it was still possible for them to go back to the time when they had passed the break-in period—the time when Ultron was just over, and the horns of the civil war had not yet sounded.

Steve used to dote on Tony infinitely, and Tony used to talk to Steve about everything.That was the most beautiful past, and it is also the only model that he can learn from now.

As long as Tony doesn't use up all his compassion and kindness before then.

After all, he's not quite Steve Rogers anymore.Part of his body is the original Mr. Good, and the rest is the vast and inestimable power and character of Hydra.And people in the organization have increasingly come to understand that their team is just looking patient.

Outside the door were two heavily armed soldiers and an officer accompanying him.Seeing Steve coming out, the three of them bowed their heads slightly.

Then, they saw the untouched sandwich.

Steve's smile disappeared the moment the bedroom door closed. He snorted contemptuously, took the plate out of the tray, and grasped the edge of the china plate in a daze.

Unknowingly, Steve's brows were slightly frowned.His fingers were still holding the porcelain plate, but the corner he was holding was shattered due to too much force, and even crushed into powder, which was embedded in the uneven fingerprints.

Steve blew a breath, and the powder drifted with the wind.

"Change it." He turned his head and handed the dinner plate to the soldier. "The orange juice that will be replaced later will add something to help sleep. He needs to sleep for a few more hours."

After speaking, he strode away towards the other end of the corridor.
