[Shield Winter] Meeting upside down

As we all know, the laws of nature are never shifted by human subjective will.

So when Bucky was eager to rush back to New York and questioned his good buddy Steve why he fell in love with a stranger so quickly, there was a thunderstorm in Paris that happened once in ten years.

He sat in the waiting area of ​​the airport, looking at the sky outside the huge French windows.

Nearby, chickpea-sized raindrops exploded on the glass, blurring a water stain.In the farther sky, there are lead-black clouds mixed with bright white lightning, illuminating the airport intermittently, allowing Bucky to see clearly the gloomy self reflected in the glass again and again.

He doesn't like himself like this, as if the shadow of the Winter Soldier is still hidden in the depths of his soul, like a shadow.

It was already late, and he took a midnight taxi to the airport, with only a simple package in his luggage. Lucky checked it in ahead of time, and checked his obviously unhappy murderous face. The staff should take good care of it.

But the sudden rainstorm disrupted all plans.

He could only curl up in the hard chair, listening to the "flight delay" repeated over and over again on the radio, waiting for the check-in to start or his patience to run out.

The flight Sam had booked for him departed from Bourget, the smallest airport in Paris.There were very few red-eye flights. Looking at the entire waiting area, there were only fifteen or six other people waiting for the rain to stop.

At the 7th minute when Bucky flipped through the magazine in his hand, the soldier's intuition made him realize that something was wrong.

Customers who had been scattered before were approaching from all directions, their expressions tense, their hands near their belts.

A black muzzle of a gun was exposed in a suitcase that wasn't fully covered. Bucky's nose moved slightly, and he smelled gunpowder smoke in the air.

He silently stuffed the suitcase under the seat, which still contained the materials for the finishing work of the operation.Bucky took off his jacket, exposing his Zhenjin left arm, and looked at the first minion who rushed up with a sullen face.

He had not forgotten that the scorpion's tail hook was poisonous even after death.

The torrential rain lasted for half an hour, and the entire building was shaken by thunder and thunder seven or eight times, and the momentum gradually died down.Bucky was on the edge of the waiting area, at the feet of thugs moaning in agony and the metal seats that had been torn apart in battle.

He wiped the corners of his mouth, the fishy sweetness in his throat made his stomach sick.

A rib was broken, and there were about a dozen skin injuries. The most terrible thing was that a bullet flew past his brow bone, which made him dizzy and nauseous.

——The operation of the mechanical arm is malfunctioning. It is estimated that the damage suffered before has interfered with the nerve joint. After the mission is over, it needs to be repaired by Su Rui.

Bucky glanced at the mess on the ground, he hated the aftermath work, and the flight still showed delays, it can be judged that this flight was just a trick set up by the remnants of the Scorpion Lady to lure out the enemy.

He turned around and left the airport with his luggage, silently found Lucky from the sundries storage, took out his cell phone and sent Sam a message.

"The flight information is forged, and there is an ambush at the airport. Please drive to Bourget Airport immediately and bring a recovery team, otherwise you will be responsible for cleaning up all the enemies."

"I gotta say, man, it's my problem this time, and I apologize."

Sam got out of the quince and helped Bucky to the seat next to the tarmac.

"I should double-check the flight situation. Is your injury serious? I can go to Banner if necessary."

Bucky shook his head, leaning back on the seat and lowering his eyes.

"It's okay, the serum is already repairing, the injury is not serious. Are Steve...and Error back?"

"Probably not. Apron B is undergoing power maintenance. All Quinjets will stop here. We are the only one."

"Oh, I'll wait here." He handed the luggage and Lucky to Sam, "Go back."

Bucky suppressed the smell of blood in his mouth, pressed the wound on the side of his thigh, his thoughts continued to diverge.

He didn't know what he was being stubborn about, so when he calmed down and thought about it, his behavior of blocking people on the tarmac was like a mother-in-law asking questions.

But he felt he deserved an explanation.

Even if there is no explanation, at least you should be the first person to see Error.He could threaten him to be nicer to Steve, or else...

Bucky stopped for a long time and didn't have the courage to think about it, so he leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the serum to heal all the wounds.

What woke Bucky up was a not-so-gentle push. He opened his eyes irritably, and the person shaking his hand was Tony, whom he didn't want to see.

"God, if you think the bed in the room is uncomfortable, you can ask Jarvis to buy a new one for you. Don't sleep on the bench like a Cinderella who was abused by your stepmother?"

Bucky turned his head to look at the sky, the sun was almost setting, and it was only noon when he came back by Quinque.

"What about Steve and the others?"

"Who? Steve and Error?" Tony's eyebrows twitched, "Oh, they didn't take a fighter plane, they bought a ticket for a normal flight, and went to the mall after landing. You know, the heart of New York is still very attractive .”

Bucky feels dizzy, and Tony unknowingly pulls out his phone and opens Twitter.

"The old popsicle has no experience in dodging paparazzi, and look, 'Captain America and mysterious gay relationship exposed' are all on the global trend."

After Tony left, Bucky took a deep breath and flipped a row of seats embedded in the ground with his vibrating arms.

"I don't understand. Shopping is not a must. There is everything in the smart building. Jarvis can even help deliver eBay packages to the door of the room."

Steve was carrying three shopping bags and looked confused.The super soldier has no experience in dealing with the packaging of nylon rope and expensive handmade paper, so he has to carry it carefully for fear that he will break the rope and drop the product.

"Idiot, of course shopping is not the purpose."

Holding on to his sunglasses, James tapped on the keyboard of his phone.

It was near midnight before James agreed to return to the building from the business center.After going through security, he shakes the screen at Steve.

With the knowledge of World War II veterans, Steve can only recognize that this is the Twitter interface and related entries of CaptainAmerica.

"what?"

"Manipulate public opinion and let the whole of America know that you have a hot brunette boyfriend."

This is not difficult at all for a computer genius, just hack into the camera of the commercial building and take a few photos.With a little skill, guiding public opinion on Twitter is easier than playing Tetris.

Steve frowned and tried to speak, but Jarvis' voicemail interrupted him.

"Captain, sir let me tell you that Mr. Rogers and Mr. Barnes have returned to the building one after another. Among them, Mr. Barnes was attacked at the return airport and was seriously injured."

"What?" Steve visibly panicked. "Where did he hurt? Did the doctor see it?"

"Mr. Barnes refused to seek medical treatment. Sir's original words were 'take public property to vent his anger, I think he has smashed his brain', and now he is resting in his room."

"God, I'm going to see him."

Steve stuffed the things in his hand to James, turned his head and left, James stretched out his hand to pull him back, and gave a "tsk" impatiently.

"Do you still want to change from Bucky's friend to boyfriend as soon as possible?"

Steve nodded suspiciously.

"Then don't go, listen to me."

James pulled him and walked in the opposite direction, saw the name tag and pushed him into the original room.

"There is no difference between a person and a spring, little Stevie. The deeper the hidden emotions, the more desperately they need to be suppressed. Only when they are pressed to the lowest point can they have the most violent outburst. The colder you are to him now, the more his desire for you will rise The sooner. Believe me, when he can't help questioning you and inquiring about me, you are only one step away from success."

Steve thought for a while in doubt, and when he came back to his senses, James had already removed his disguise, put on a more handsome outfit, and deliberately lowered his peaked cap.

"……what are you going to do?"

"Just because you can't see Bucky doesn't mean I can't see Rogers, so—" James opened the door and turned to smile at him, "I'm going to meet my lover privately."

His lover was reading a popular science book in the house.

This is the only pastime that can calm Rogers, since Bucky confessed the truth, he can't deny that he has been looking forward to another Bucky.

However, there was no good news from Fury. He gave a three-day report and visited Bucky again today. He just sat down to enjoy some alone time.

A knock on the door interrupted Rogers' thoughts.

"You are……"

Rogers opened the door, and the man in front of him was handsome and strange.He saw the other party raised the corners of his lips and slowly raised the brim of his hat with his index finger, revealing a familiar face that made his heart surge.

Rogers' throat rolled, and the hand holding the doorknob kept tightening.

"...Bucky?"

"No." The other party shook his head and just smiled, "For better distinction, you can call me James."

For several seconds, Rogers' mind went blank.He stood in the doorway like a solid, goofy sculpture, and James curled his lips in displeasure, and pushed him into the room.

The door was locked, and James threw himself into Rogers' arms like a brave stag, biting the full lips of Rogers with his teeth and tongue.

And Rogers did not show any weakness, grabbed his waist and put the whole person on his body, James' back was against the cold wall, and he lowered his head to bear the more fierce kiss back.

The heat in the room was ignited by the sound of water being rubbed by the two. They kissed like two cubs for 10 minutes before Rogers let go of James, letting him lean against his neck and gasp for breath.

"It's really you." James chuckled softly, "Although I don't remember anything, I haven't lost my instinct at all."

"You're so... sweet to kiss."

"Oh thanks. Every time, every time you say that, trust me, I'm tired of hearing it."

James slipped from his arms, tugging at his collar.

"Listen, I'm Steve's boyfriend right now. He needs to..."

"I understand." Rogers interrupted him, "You want to use this disguise to make Bucky jealous."

James let out a long sigh and rested his head on his shoulder.

"If only Steve were half as smart as you."

"Why? I mean why you want to help them. My gut tells me you're not a nosy guy."

James looked up at him, with too many incomprehensible emotions in his eyes.

"I wish the Steve Rogers and James Barnes of every world well, that's all."

Another knock on the door came from Steve's room.

Ha, James is back sooner than expected.Steve muttered, walked over to open the door, and was caught off guard by Bucky with the tape on his brow bone.

He didn't look very well, haggard, with suppressed grievances and anger in his green eyes.

"Uh, hi? I'm sorry I came back so late, I didn't... didn't think to see you."

Bucky always knew Steve was a terrible liar, as he is now, with roving eyes and a blush flaunting his neck and cheeks.

He didn't care about these things, he just put his hands on the door panel, trying to look in, but obviously Steve's figure made this plan fail.

"I just woke up and saw some news on the Internet." Bucky had to turn his head again, "You and Error... your relationship, uh, I don't think it's..."

Steve remembered James' exhortation, and realized that he was in that moment now.The moment when you are only one step away from success and you have to hold your breath and face it coldly.

"Buck, it's too late. I have something to talk about tomorrow." Steve controlled his tone, trying to sound indifferent, "Because... because Error is still in the room waiting for me to sleep."

The door closed, and Bucky stood there, looking dazed.He unconsciously bit the inside of his mouth until the bloody smell spread again, and the door didn't open again, then turned his head and left slowly.

Inside the door panel, Steve leaned his back against the wall, his heart was beating fast, and he was throbbing with pain.

"Pray that James' strategy doesn't go wrong."

He muttered to himself, remembering Bucky's startled green eyes.

"Otherwise I'm screwed."
