The Third Winter Soldier

Bucky pushed open Charles' office door and saw him sitting in front of the window. Bucky coughed lowly. Charles turned around when he heard the sound, saw him, smiled and said, "You're late."

Bucky nodded silently and said, "Sorry."

Charles looked at Bucky's unhappy face with a half-smile, and said, "I'm always very envious of the vitality of young people."

Bucky looked up at him, not understanding what he meant, but it didn't matter, maybe it was just a momentary emotion from Charles, so he nodded again and said, "Shall we go now?"

Charles smiled and said, "Are you sure?"

Bucky pursed his lips slightly, and looked back at Charles. This time, he seemed to understand something, squinted his eyes slightly at Charles, and said, "I just..."

"I have to?" Charles moved the wheelchair towards him, "No matter what the reason is, it will not be your kindness in the eyes of the other party, because it is your choice, not hers." He stretched out his hand and patted Patting Bucky's arm, he said softly, "Let's go!"

Bucky frowned slightly, followed Charles out of his office slowly, and the two headed towards the basement where Sienna was held.

When they entered the "cell" that could only be opened with Charles' iris verification, Bucky was disappointed that Sienna didn't wake up. He frowned slightly, walked to her side and squatted down, then put his hand on her neck After some investigation, her breathing and pulse were all normal, so what caused her not to wake up?Anesthesia dosing question?He stood up slowly, turned his head to look at Charles who was looking at him outside, and smiled wryly.

Charles raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Bucky.

Bucky came out and said, "She's not awake yet."

Charles glanced at Sienna lying inside, and said, "Then, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Bucky nodded helplessly, that was all he could do.

Charles closed the door of the "cell", turned the wheelchair and walked towards the exit, Bucky walked a few steps, frowned and turned to look at the wall that had been closed again.

"Bucky?" Charles asked, stopping at the entrance.

The corner of Bucky's mouth moved slightly, he hesitated to speak, and walked quickly towards Charles.

Charles looked at Bucky and said flatly, "Don't worry."

Bucky shook his head, no, he wasn't worried that she would escape or be rescued here, what he was worried about was the amount of anesthetic Lilith injected her with.

Charles seemed to see what Bucky was thinking, and said, "She's still alive, which means she's fine."

Bucky was taken aback, looked at Charles, and said, "Really?"

Charles smiled and asked, "Isn't it?"

Bucky nodded silently, yes, if there is a problem with the dose, then she may have died long ago, so there should be no problem with the dose, then there is a problem with the speed at which the individual decomposes the drug.He walked out behind Charles, and carefully recalled Sienna's breathing and pulse just now. The pulse was normal, and the breathing was in line with the receptor response under the use of anesthetics. Therefore, there was nothing other than that the anesthetics had not completely expired in her body. The reason would explain why she didn't wake up at the estimated time.

Charles saw Bucky walking beside him with a worried expression on his face, with an understanding smile on the corner of his mouth.

Bucky looked up, just in time to see Charles looking at him. He saw comfort in the other's wise eyes, nodded helplessly and said, "Sorry."

"You don't need to apologize." Charles turned the wheelchair to the door of the office. He turned the wheelchair slightly to Bucky and said, "Many times, we need a little patience to get the answers we want to know."

"But Steven can't wait, and maybe your missing student can't wait either," Bucky said.

Charles shook his head, stared at Bucky and said, "So, what do you want?"

Bucky was taken aback, what was he thinking?There is no way.He smiled wryly, nodded and said, "You're right, maybe, I need a little patience."

Charles smiled, looked at Bucky and said, "Good night, then!"

Bucky stretched out his hand and pushed open the office door, watched Charles enter, and said, "Good night." After finishing speaking, he closed the door for him, and returned to the West Wing dormitory area with a slightly gloomy mood.

Bucky walked to his own door, and suddenly turned his head to look at the opposite door, only to see that Lilith's door was closed tightly, and he stared at the door. Under such a quiet situation, he couldn't hear any movement inside. He thought for a while, moved to her door, and stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but soon, his hand stopped in mid-air, and after a long time, it slowly fell to his side.

The next day.

When Lilith came back from her morning run, she saw Bucky standing at her door. She raised her eyebrows slightly and gave him a cold look.

Bucky looked up to see her, and said blankly, "I didn't mean to."

Lilith smiled and said with a trace of sarcasm: "Oh, of course, I understand, of course you didn't mean it, you did it on purpose." After finishing speaking, she avoided him and was about to push the door to enter.

Bucky blocked her way, looked at her seriously and said, "Lilith, don't play word games with me, you know I don't mean it."

Lilith looked up at him, and the ironic smile at the corner of her mouth became more obvious, and she asked: "Do you want to be so hypocritical? You are the one who hides your strength, not me! You can kill me with two or three punches, but you pretend to be invincible and get killed I have defeated n times, isn't it intentional?"

"Can you calmly listen to my explanation?" Bucky stared at Lilith and said seriously, "I know you are very angry, but before that, please give me a chance to explain."

Lilith looked back at him coldly, and said with the same cold expression when she first met him: "Do you know why I am angry?"

"Sorry, I didn't know you would be... so angry." Bucky's eyes flickered slightly, "Maybe, I shouldn't..."

"You don't know?" Lilith had a faint self-mockery on her face, "As a soldier, being underestimated by an opponent to such an extent is already extremely humiliating. I don't think you understand."

Bucky looked embarrassed. Although he knew that Lilith was angry because he hid his true skills, he never thought that this would be a kind of humiliation to Lilith. "sorry."

"You don't need to apologize!" Lilith reached out and pushed his shoulder, "Now, please step aside."

"In the beginning, I just didn't want to hurt the innocent." Bucky didn't move, he looked directly at Lilith, "I didn't want to hurt anyone, I've hurt too many innocent...people."

"Really? I don't think I'm the innocent people you're talking about." Lilith's tone became cold, "Don't forget the circumstances under which we fought each other."

"That doesn't mean I can use my power to hurt you!" Bucky frowned and looked at Lilith, "You see, if I... what will happen to you..."

"Oh, superhero, are you going to show off your superpowers?" Lilith chuckled and stared at him fiercely, "Do you still need me to thank you now for not using your horrible Hit me with superpowers?"

"Lilith, you should know that what you're saying now tends to be vexatious." Bucky said in a deep voice.

"Yes, that's right, I'm making trouble for no reason, so what? Is there a law that stipulates that when people are angry, they can't do this?" Lilith stared at Bucky fiercely and said, "I tell you, I'm very angry now !Although I can't beat you, but just wait for me, sooner or later I will really beat you!" When I strengthen this body to my original body, I will definitely win you!

Bucky was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Lilith to say such a thing, but after thinking about it, according to her usual style, it didn't seem strange to say such a thing, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, deeply Staring at her intently, no, he can't tell her that the reason why he fled from her or was put down by her was not because he looked down on him, nor was what he just said didn't hurt the innocent, nor was it because Not hitting a woman, but... her body affecting him...

Lilith stared at the expressionless Bucky, she frowned slightly, and saw the flash of loneliness in his eyes, and then he silently moved out of the way.

Lilith squinted at him and said, "What do you mean?"

Bucky looked back at her, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he said softly, "Okay!" After speaking, he walked out of the West Wing dormitory area.

It was simply inexplicable, Lilith looked at his back, snorted, and said, "What's the matter, wait for me to beat you up? Do you think I'm just talking? You bastard!"
