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

The emotional battlefield is the same as the real battlefield. It is easy to fight the country and difficult to defend the country.It is easy to have a fight with the other party, but it is difficult for the other party to really open up his heart, not only let you get into his body but also let you get into his heart.

After all, if it gets into the lower body, it will kill you, but if it gets into the heart, it's hard to say.

But even so, Steve is still willing to be the first one to move.He is always willing to take risks and stick to the end, even if building the bridge is more difficult than he imagined.

The quarrel between the two of them ended for four days, and Steve didn't take a step closer to the Stark Tower for four days.He asked his subordinates to reconfigure the surveillance system, forcing himself to only watch Tony's every move on the camera.

Of course, most of the time he took the initiative to turn off the monitor screen, so that he could concentrate on the matter at hand.

Integrating the Hydra is the first step, controlling the Avengers and making armor is the second step, and the third step is the most difficult and most critical, that is to make the people surrender.

Although the suppression by force is one aspect, the control and guidance of public opinion is another aspect in order to prevent uprisings from erupting one after another during the suppression.

Based on his original thinking, if even the Avengers were forced to submit to him, then it was inevitable for the people to submit to him.Like the wars he fought before, the victor deserves to be celebrated, because victory ends war and brings peace.

Peace is justice.

Steve had tried to apologize to Tony after the press conference that took Tony out to confess, and after they'd had a blast and spent a few days together.For the behavior of pushing him to the center of public opinion, but also for his own selfishness.

But Tony rejected his apology.

"You did nothing wrong. Although you violated my interests, it is indeed the wisest choice from your point of view."

At that time, Tony's face was still stained with sweat, and his eyes also showed his lingering fear.However, the calmness and calmness of dealing with politicians and businessmen all the year round still gave him enough reason.He can think from Steve's point of view, but Steve may not.

So they had a frank talk or two with each other in their free time when they weren't hurting each other.It has nothing to do with interests, just expressing their own opinions.After all, Steve is just a soldier, and he is not capable of dealing with the loud noises from the outside world.

There is no need for Tony to conceal or mislead, after all, he is dealing with a specific person, Captain Hydra, not Hydra's forces or others.

So Tony also told him objectively - "You can't be the new leader as the captain of Hydra, no matter how powerful you are, it is always a loser's title."

Hydra has not turned over in the true sense, and in the process of fighting against the ruling forces, it is a bad organization.All the evil things it has done will be publicized and even exaggerated by the authorities as much as possible.

Its impression among the people represents "evil" and "chaos". Steve Rogers alone, or the Avengers or even Iron Man, who are already on the cusp of the tide, cannot reverse the majority of ordinary people. inherent cognition.

"We are different from ordinary people. When we overthrow the identity that is opposed to the Hydra organization and appear as Hydra instead, do you know what others will think?"

At that time, Stark was lying on the bed without even opening his eyes.

He fumbled for the newspaper beside the bed and slapped it on Steve's wet chest.

Above "Patriotic Heroes Fighting for Justice, War Madmen Who Die for Rights-What Do You Believe?" "'s headline hurt Steve's eyes.

Looking at the front page of the newspaper, although it is not a first-class newspaper, Steve often hears the name of this newspaper.It shows that this newspaper has a certain popular base, and such a title—needless to say, is almost no different from the forced choice used by magicians.

"I know you've touched the raw power of Hydra to change, and you love the change, but no matter how different your 'Hydra' is from the previous 'Hydra', it's Hydra snake."

Tony rubbed his eyes and turned on the desk lamp.He took out a tissue and wiped the fluid from his lower body, kneaded it into a ball and threw it beside the bed, "It is difficult to change the inertial thinking, you have to follow their inertia and take them to another direction to agree with you instead of hitting them s face."

"I don't understand... what do you mean? You want me to give up the power I have gained?" Steve looked at him sideways.Under the desk lamp, Iron Man's dark eyes and the blue fluorescence in the eyes looked deep and mysterious, hiding something that made him curious but elusive.

But Tony didn't answer him right away, thought for a while, and made an analogy——

"The red capsule is the antidote, and the blue capsule is the antidote. I switched the contents of the red capsule and the blue capsule, and then told you that the red capsule is now the antidote, do you believe it?"

Steve didn't hesitate—"I don't believe it," thought it over, and said—"unless someone ate the red capsule and I saw he wasn't poisoned."

"Yeah," Tony replied, turning around, "so if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't tell you anything, but I swapped the contents of the two capsules anyway, do you eat the blues out of experience? colored capsules?"

Steve paused, agreed, "Yes, and then I'll be poisoned to death."

"In the same way, we always trust ourselves more than we trust others. You want to find a tester, and this tester is 'time'. Your ultimate goal is to let someone eat you Arranged medicine, so why not put your medicine in a blue capsule that others will take?"

Tony glanced at Steve, and smiled selfishly, "But it doesn't matter, I have nothing to do with your success, I'm also happy that you failed, so—"

"Wait." Steve interrupted his schadenfreude, thought for a while while pinching his chin, and asked tentatively—"So... Captain America is the blue capsule."

Tony didn't answer, rolled over and fell asleep.

But Steve doesn't want him to sleep, there are still many things he hasn't figured out.So he held his shoulder again, and asked in a slow tone-"No, I will not target Hydra believers again as Captain America, if this is the case-"

Tony turned around impatiently, and patted Steve's chest with the back of his hand, "Why are you aiming at them? They should believe in whatever you say, and you let them see with their own eyes the power of their belief in you. The mice have been in the ground for too long, and you took them to the cheese, but they just put on the mantle of Captain America, and they wanted it long ago."

Captain America is the armor for body protection, and the soldiers of Hydra are the guns in their hands.The shield can be painted with red skulls, but it will eventually change back to the red, blue and white pattern.At that time, no one will doubt what kind of heart and soul this man in full armor has taken off everything, because everything around him is logical.

Hydra is not hopeless, it will have its new face and pattern.It's just that this pattern happens to be exactly the same as Captain America's.

"Do you know what is the most intoxicating thing? It is the satisfaction of desire."

Mental, physical, it's all the same.

"As long as you are satisfied physically and mentally, they will naturally rack their brains to find the words of justice for you. The most important thing is not how to suppress the voices of opposition, but to let the opponents eat the capsules you gave. You are not in the capsules. Desires that cannot be satisfied."

desire.

Some of the qualities of Iron Man from another world are like drugs in a capsule. Steve doesn't know when he swallowed it, and he doesn't know whether Tony did it on purpose or accidentally, but he did Being attracted, and the most obvious manifestation of attraction is that you can't get the person's appearance and words out of your mind.

Steve looked at the pitch-black screen, and Stark's tired face disappeared from his mind.He twirled the remote control in his hand, and after a few minutes, he couldn't help but turn on the screen again.

He really couldn't think of these by himself, but Stark could.

This further made him firm in his idea that he should not lose the other party, and what made him even more firm was that he should make another non-strong effort to keep the other party.

At this moment, Tony on the screen was sitting in front of the computer, asking Jarvis to automatically play the design drawings one by one.While drinking, I paused every now and then to zoom in to check the details of the design.

His expression is focused and comfortable, and he enjoys his work regardless of purpose.

Occasionally, he would stop to have a word with Jarvis.Although Steve has never understood what there is to talk about with an artificial intelligence that has been programmed to respond, but seeing Tony's relaxed smile, he is also willing to believe that there is fun in it that he can't understand.

Fortunately, Steve took the first step, otherwise, after losing the red Iron Man, this Tony Dak would also die in a variable of fate.

Tony went to bed early that night, the armor had already been designed, and the information in Jarvis's system was well grasped. The most important thing was to wait for the action of Crossbones.And in those few days without the disturbance of Captain Hydra, Tony's body and mind were very relaxed.

When you relax, you will drink a few more glasses, and if you drink too much, you will feel tired early.

Although the clock showed that it was only past eleven o'clock at night, Tony didn't think he could last another hour.So he took a shower comfortably, and crawled into bed unsuspecting.

He has nothing to worry about, the Hydra guards will block the place, and Jarvis is on standby 24 hours a day. Even if Wishbone and the Winter Soldier came in last time, he deliberately let it go, otherwise this is a luxurious building. prison.

It's just that he didn't think that the one who hurt him wasn't necessarily someone from the outside, it was very likely that it was someone from the inside, or it wasn't a person.

In order to study the fit of his own liquid metal and armor, and to test whether Steve's armor could withstand Iron Man's laser cannon, he disassembled most of the mech's parts and removed all the laser cannons in his hand for convenience. Use and research by yourself if you can't wear a battle suit.

Those parts were scattered in various places in the machine room. Except for the laser cannons which had removed the energy supply devices and were unable to operate, the internal energy supply of the armor was not removed.But he didn't expect that it was because of unintentional negligence that the parts of these armors were pieced together under the operation of the mechanical arm, and reintegrated into a steel battle suit.

Tony had just fallen asleep when the lock snapped open.

He didn't have the habit of using multiple locks. After all, ordinary locks could resist ordinary people, and if the Hydra captain came, it would be useless to use hundreds of locks.So the well-lubricated door didn't make the slightest friction sound after it was opened, and the assembled steel Frankenstein stood beside Tony's bed.

I don't know how long the monster stood there. Suddenly, as if it had received an order, it stretched out its arm and grabbed Tony's neck. A pathway for transducing rescue signals.

The moment Tony was grabbed, he didn't even realize that he had woken up. The force was so fierce and decisive that he expected to wake up from the nightmare in one moment.

But when he reflexively opened his eyes and struggled desperately, he saw Frankenstein's appearance through the light coming in through the crack of the door.

Although each main part comes from a different generation of armor, each part is installed correctly and precisely, and it barely fits together into a complete battle suit, but the different colors like patches make the suit look weird And ferocious.

At that moment Tony really thought that fate had come to settle accounts with him.He has done so many stupid things in this world, and now he will be killed by his own battle suit in the bedroom with an unbelievably high security factor.

It seems that the Tonys in every world are the same, and they must eventually die under their own hands in some form.Die from drunkenness, or die from promiscuity.One is by the bar and the other is in the bedroom.

His eyes stared fixedly at the armor, and the energy pile of the armor shone with a strange blue light.He had once felt an uncanny sense of trust in the color, but now it dangled like a death banner in his increasingly blackened vision.

Many pictures flickered in his mind, but none of them were clear and accurate.He instinctively wanted to call Jarvis's name, but his mouth was covered, and he hesitated even he didn't want to hear it.

It would be nice if Steve was here at this moment, that was his last thought.

His brain became congested, and he was dizzy from suffocation.The feeling of not being able to breathe made his chest explode, his tinnitus gradually increased, and the black edges around his eyes became thicker and thicker.

In the end, he closed his eyes in despair, blocking the last trace of blue light in sight.

But maybe it really confirms the phrase "Everyone has his own mission when he comes to the world". His mission has not been completed yet, so his life should not die.

The shield that he prayed for when he was dying suddenly flew into the bedroom, and hit the steel armor accurately before dying.

The waist of the battle armor was hit, and the shield was deeply embedded in it.

Steve stepped onto the bed in two or three steps and rushed towards the armor.He grabbed one side of the shield and pulled it out, and smashed the energy pile of the armor in the next second.

The battle armor suddenly cut off its energy source, and fell to the ground as if discouraged.Steve turned around immediately to protect Tony, patting his cheek and calling out eagerly.

Tony seemed to be fished out of a dark quagmire, a mouthful of fresh air suddenly poured into his lung cavity.Then there's Steve's face, and an outdated shirt that looks like it's been laundered a thousand times.

Steve breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Tony.Tony also gradually regained his strength, and pulled Steve tightly into his arms.

He admitted that he was frightened, and the speed of the attack, which could not even respond to liquid metal, really frightened him.

His arms are tight, and he misses Steve so much for that second.But that feeling only lasted a second before he pushed Steve away.Turning over and getting out of bed, he punched open the mask of the battle armor lying on the ground.

He really wanted to know who was able to evade layers of defenses and make a surprise attack, and who was going to put him to death at this time.But to his bewilderment, there was nothing inside the mask.

This is an empty armor.

Someone was so powerful that he not only obtained the authority of Tony Duck, but also manipulated the armor and murdered Iron Man himself.

Tony narrowed his eyes as Steve grabbed his shoulder from behind.He was about to turn around and tell the other party this strange discovery, but Steve's body moved suddenly.

True, the attack did not end there.Just when Steve and Tony were relaxing, another battle armor full of patches broke into the bedroom, but this battle armor didn't even have the left hand attached, instead it had a cross screwdriver installed instead.

At this moment, the screwdriver was deeply embedded in Steve's back.

It hits very precisely, right on the edge of the shoulder blade.Because it's embedded, Steve's right arm can barely swing.

Before Tony could react, Steve slammed down his arm and turned around suddenly, and the mechanical arm snapped off at the wrist.Then he raised his left hand and punched the armor's head, then took two steps back and kicked it away vigorously.

While the battle armor was repelled, the screwdriver was still firmly inserted into the shoulder blade of the Hydra captain.

At this time, two more battle armors rushed in from outside the door one after another.This time, the armor was no longer a screwdriver, but an electric soldering iron and an electric drill that Tony had used up but had no time to clean up.

"Jarvis!" Tony yelled.

But the AI ​​didn't respond.At this time, the uncontrollability of the machine made Tony completely helpless. He immediately expelled the liquid metal from his body, trying to make him stick to Steve's wound.

Steve took two steps to the side and shook his head at Tony.The current situation did not allow him to deal with the wound, on the contrary, he had to move both arms.

Steve stretched his left hand back, and thankfully he was able to hold the screwdriver.So he clenched his fingers, tensed his arms suddenly, and violently pulled the screwdriver out of the gap between his shoulder blades.

In the next moment, he immediately grabbed the shield, disregarding the gurgling blood, and once again threw the shield at the robot with all his strength.

The robot with the electric drill was the first to be hit. Steve's target was not the robot itself, but its wrist.The shield whirled to cut off the mechanical wrist, and then bounced to the wall by impact.

Steve also immediately jumped up to the position where the shield returned, and the moment the shield hit the wall and bounced back to his body, he exerted force again to force it to change its course, and cut off the mechanical armor that had lost its weapon at the fastest speed. .

But just as he successfully attacked and landed smoothly, another robot had already moved towards Tony.

Tony's liquid metal is already in the palm of his hand, he should protect himself, and he can completely protect himself, but he hesitates.

Just when Steve refused his help just now, he suddenly calmed down.At the same time, another evil thought sprang up in his heart—if he didn't assist Steve at this time, and Steve was killed by the out-of-control mechanical armor, then——

But his thoughts didn't take shape, because Steve didn't hesitate at all, and just jumped at him and pushed him back on the bed.

Tony's eyes darkened, and he was protected by Steve.

The hissing sound of the electric soldering iron scalding the flesh immediately reached his ears, Steve actually endured the severe pain, and bent his body with his back to the direction of the electric soldering iron, propping up enough space for Tony to escape.

What happened next, Tony is not quite sure.

It seemed that his liquid metal was out of control, and through the gap Steve propped up for himself, it covered the branding iron that was scorching the body of Captain Hydra.

There was a piercing sound of metal rubbing against each other, as well as the noise of shields colliding again and again, and the light of metal splashed in the dark bedroom until the four mechanical armors were lying on the ground.

Steve was panting, blood dripping down his back.The air smelled of motor oil and burning, and the room was in post-war chaos.

Both of them stopped on the spot at the moment the battle ended, panting for a while in shock.Then Steve came back to his senses first, went to sit next to Tony, and carefully checked whether he was injured.

Tony's mind went blank, and he remained silent after checking it out.He'd missed a great opportunity to kill Steve, an opportunity he'd smashed with his own hands.

He was in a mess, and he couldn't make out what Steve said.

After a while, the severe tinnitus slowly subsided.Tony turned his head to look at Steve, and Steve's frown slowly relaxed.

"Are you okay?" Steve asked, wiping sweat from Tony's brow with his fingers.

Tony closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and shook his head.

"That's good." Steve said lightly, and then left Tony's body.

There were still exaggerated wounds on his back, but he didn't seem to feel any pain.He went out vigilantly and circled around. After confirming that there were no more assassins, he turned on the communication equipment and sent someone up to clean up the scene.

Finally, he turned back to the door of the room and smiled relaxedly at Tony, "You saved me, thank you."

— saved him?

No, Tony was going to kill him.It's just that his body's reaction was one step faster than his rationality, and he made a mistake.But Tony froze for a moment at the smile, and then responded with a similar expression.

"You're welcome," he said.Immediately, he extinguished the strange emotion that was just about to ignite in his heart, quickly cleaned up his expression, and got off the bed.

He walked straight to Steve, stopped when he was shoulder to shoulder, glanced at the wound on the other's back, and finally passed by silently.
