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

Wishbone was smoking by the window, the butts already filling the empty can.Two weeks passed, and things were not going as planned.

They didn't find a way to cure Winter Soldier, and they still didn't know the reason for Winter Soldier's aphasia. Many doctors even persuaded them to leave when they saw their faces.

Obviously, Steve's raids and investigations were extensive and comprehensive.The reason why the two of them can stay here safely, and after meeting so many people, no one comes to hunt them down, all the credit must be attributed to the righteousness of this group of mobs.

The world does not accept traitors, so these exiles can only depend on each other.No one wants to take more risks for others, but they also know that today's betrayal will be exchanged for tomorrow's expulsion.Perhaps the next person to be shut out is themselves, so most people choose to remind them in good faith, but keep more information secret.

Rumlow knew that he couldn't ask any more questions.There is indeed a protective///protective///umbrella, but the efficacy and scope of protection are limited.They do not have the right and ability to destroy the umbrella as a bargaining chip in exchange for information, so they are safe under the umbrella, but there will be no more progress.

Familiar faces began to appear in the media. First Rhodes was imprisoned for treason, and after his imprisonment, all Starkey's assets were frozen by the government.And Natasha followed closely and was arrested with multiple intentional homicides.

These two were in the Iron Man camp during the Civil War, and Rhodes once appeared in the public eye as the second-generation Iron Man.But they were arrested together within two weeks, and anyone with the slightest political sensibility could sense that this was Steve controlling the power of the old Avengers.

Although Steve has become the captain of Hydra, only Hydra's people know this, and the only people who can notice the change are the Avengers who accompany him day and night, so let them also shut down. To put it bluntly, it is imperative that all the actions of Captain Hydra become "Captain America's actions" as a matter of course.

When a good person starts to do bad things, the people will take the lead in convincing themselves—"He is still that good person. He has his own considerations for doing this. We should not doubt his motives."

Such a continuous misleading evaluation bought Steve time, and when people realized that "he was really doing bad things", he had already controlled most of the armed forces that might resist.

Armed power is always a key factor in determining the direction of public opinion.As long as you have the most powerful armed forces, no amount of public opinion will calm down.

Besides, Steve didn't think he was doing anything bad at all.He thought that he was still doing good deeds, but he just changed to a completely different way of doing things from the weak self at the beginning.

Therefore, it is easy to guess that Steve will take the lead in recruiting the Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Hawkeye, Ant-Man and other members who fought side by side with him during the civil war, and choose a communication method to make them think that everything he does is For ultimate peace.

The pain of the loss of the Scarlet Witch's brother, Falcon's post-war traumatic stress disorder, Hawkeye's responsibilities to his wife and children, Ant-Man's commitment and obligation to his lover and his father, etc., these are all Steve. Direction, Steve knows them, and he knows how to take advantage of people's weaknesses better than Captain America - holding the Winter Soldier and Wishbone together is the best example.

If all of the above goes well, the next thing to do is to deal with those who were on the opposing side of the Civil War.

Rumlow also has his own guesses on this point—after all, Steve's purpose of opening the space-time plane is to bring Iron Man back, so no matter whether he brings back the original one or not, as long as the other party is willing to cooperate, he can declare this to the outside world. It is the Iron Man who was "rescued".

If you have Tony Duck's three-inch tongue and the wisdom and skills that surpass all others, it will be just around the corner to include people from another camp.

The key is to let the "Iron Man" cooperate, and judging from the news on TV, newspapers, and radio, Rumlow believes that Tony Duck brought back has not yet started to cooperate with Steve.

Rumlow had taken out the weapon bag several times to wipe it.On the third day after he came here, he found the pawnshop where Bartok and Rollins kept their cash, and exchanged part of the money in the pawnshop for a bag of weapons.

He believed that the two team members would not accuse him of misappropriating the cash, and his reasons were valid.If those two players were still alive, not only would they not stop him, they would even support him and help him make it happen.

This is an opportunity, and once Stark starts working with Steve, Rumlow has no chance—no more chance, and kills Steve.

Yes, Rumlow wanted to do it, even though he had tried many times.

He hates Captain America. That kind of hatred not only comes from the organization's repeated ideological cleansing and indoctrination, but also from the grievances accumulated over the years of fighting.So he attacked Captain America countless times, and his beliefs and orders evolved into habits over time.

It seems that killing Captain America is the mission he has to fulfill all his life, but if he really has the opportunity to point a gun at the other party-it turns out that he did have a similar opportunity, and more than once-Rumlow Not sure if he really wanted to do it though.

That hatred was imposed on him by the outside world, and even if he accepted it, it would be difficult to categorically set the end point as the death of Captain America.

So for so many years, the only time he wanted to kill Captain America spontaneously, with a gesture of dying together, was because he believed that the other party had completely ruined everything between him and the Winter Soldier.

The hatred at that moment surged and slapped his chest like a huge wave, and he couldn't sleep at night. When he stole those tubes of biochemical drugs, he didn't want to leave any room for himself. He wanted to end all this, and wanted Captain America to die. .

As we all know later, the Winter Soldier was not destroyed by Steve, he was still his soldier, and he was still his officer.It's just that Steve hurt the Winter Soldier so badly that he became the cripple he is now with one arm missing and no voice.

The feeling of helplessness made Rumlow angry.

He counted the bullets again, then pulled the dagger//out/// to look at the light.The sound of inserting the scabbard sounds very pleasant, and I believe it will be very neat when it is wiped across Steve's neck.

He zipped up the weapon bag and carefully put it back under the bed.He didn't intend to let the Winter Soldier know what he was trying to do, because the Winter Soldier was different from Bartok and Rollins, and the guy with a certain amount of Sergeant Barnes in his body would definitely stop him.

It's a pity that when he put the weapon away and clapped his hands to stand up, the Winter Soldier was already standing by the door.I don't know how long he stood there, and he may have witnessed the whole process of Wishbone counting the weapons.

Rumlow looked at him for a while without explaining anything.Turning his head and refilling the cigarette, he continued to watch the crowd coming and going downstairs.

Rumlow's attitude towards the Winter Soldier has never changed. He doesn't like to explain to the soldiers, and he doesn't intend to listen to the Winter Soldier's attitude. He understands that this is not the way two people should be together, but he can't change it and doesn't want to change it.

So when the Winter Soldier walked forward silently, trying to wrap his arm around the wishbone from behind, the latter took a puff of smoke and said in a nasty voice—"It's a good thing you can't speak, so I won't have to refute you." trouble."

The Winter Soldier's arms froze for a moment, but he still hugged him in the same manner as before.The Winter Soldier is taller than Rumlow, just enough to rest his head on Rumlow's neck.So he rested his head on it quietly, and the strength of his arms was neither loose nor tight.

Rumlow sighed slightly.He also couldn't understand why the Winter Soldier always looked injured in the end, even though he wanted to vent his anger on the Winter Soldier.He didn't admit that the Winter Soldier didn't want to hurt Steve, but if it wasn't, what else could be done.

He extinguished the cigarette butt in a can with almost no empty space, hesitated for a moment and raised his hand to stroke the Winter Soldier's hair.He opened his mouth and wanted to tell the Winter Soldier that he did this to eliminate future troubles, because as long as they are still useful, Captain Hydra will never let them go free, and now there is a Steve//分/ //Body//A good opportunity without skill, it will be difficult to have this opportunity in the future.

But he turned his head and kept his mouth shut, sniffing at the Winter Soldier's disheveled but shampoo-scented hair.He couldn't speak, it was strange, obviously he was not the one who was speechless, but he was always acting as the one who refused to communicate.

But if Rumlow doesn't say it, the Winter Soldier will.The Winter Soldier grabbed Rumlow's clothes and let go.Then he raised his head and moved away from the opponent's body.

He rummaged through the pockets of his clothes, and it took him a while to find the notebook and pen he had prepared for communication.

In the past two weeks, the notebook has been filled with densely packed curvy words, all of which are short words for their daily communication.The Winter Soldier turned to the last page, bit off the cap of the pen, and quickly scratched across it.Then he moved his hand away, and a line of scribbled words appeared in front of Rumlow:

—You're going to kill him, aren't you?

Rumlow smiled, this is the truth that can be seen at a glance.He nodded, stretched his waist, turned and walked towards the bed.

It seems that the Winter Soldier didn't understand what he said just now, and now he wants to write all the nonsense into words to lobby him, and the wishbone is not interested in reading it-"Okay, don't write, save some ink."

Seeing that Wishbone was about to leave, the Winter Soldier grabbed his arm and pulled him back.He has only one hand and cannot hold Rumlow while writing.So he could only frown, looked into Rumlow's eyes and shook his head eagerly.

Rumlow withdrew his arm, and said to the Winter Soldier in a hoarse voice—"If you have other things, write it, and I will read it. If you really want to persuade me not to do this, then you don't have to write it, I am serious."

Unfortunately, the Winter Soldier really has nothing else to do.

It was such a contradictory order that the Winter Soldier didn't know which one to execute.

He had something he wanted to tell Rumlow very much, but it happened to be among the words that Rumlow forbids mentioning, so he remained silent in embarrassment, his clenched teeth protruding from his cheek.

Rumlow understood, but he was also disappointed.He snorted irritably, took off his T-shirt and lay down on the bed.The evening air has been fine, but his nostrils are filled with the smell of tobacco.He took two deep breaths to let the air replace the burning smell in his nose, and then he smelled the Winter Soldier.

The Winter Soldier also came over, and he was watching Rumlow by the bed.After looking at it for a while, he pulled one of Rumlow's arms out from under his head.

He still wrote down what he wanted to say, and stuffed it from his palm into Rumlow's.He pushed Rumlow's arm to signal him to look, and then he climbed onto the bed and laid his pillow on the other person's chest.

Rumlow tried to push him away, the weight on his chest making it hard for him to breathe.But the Winter Soldier stubbornly remained motionless, holding Rumlow's shoulder and refused to move even an inch.

Reluctantly, Rumlow unfolded the paper from the palm of his hand.

He originally wanted to throw it away, but the Winter Soldier seemed to have anticipated his action and stopped his arm first.So Rumlow had to open it, had to read it, although in the end he crumpled it up and threw it in an unknown corner under the bed.

The embrace tightened a bit, and now Rumlow could only smell the Winter Soldier and no fresh air.

He could hear the beating sound of each other's chests, and he could also feel the other's tension and anxiety.

Yes, Rumlow never cared what the Winter Soldier had to say.No matter what the other party says, what he wants to do will definitely be done.Besides, he won't harm the Winter Soldier, he just wants the two of them to have a better life.There's nothing wrong with that, everything Rumlow does is justified.

only--

"I've lost my arm, I've lost my ability to speak."

The Winter Soldier's handwriting is so scrambled that it's almost impossible to read. Rumlow has to squint, but he can read it even if he can't.

The Winter Soldier has always had one idea.Never been afraid of one thing.

"I don't want to be alone, and I don't want to risk losing you again."

Rumlow didn't want to respond, the sound of the ball of paper falling to the ground was very soft, but the beating of his chest and heart was very heavy.It's so overwhelming that I can't think about anything.

The ball of paper rolled to the edge of the wall and stopped. A mouse bumped into it as it passed by, took a curious bite, spat it out again, and burrowed deeper into the darkness.
