The Third Winter Soldier

Three months later.

In Xavier's small playground, Bucky grabbed Laura with one hand, turned his head and said to the children in a circle, "You see clearly?"

The children nodded one after another, indicating that they had seen clearly.

Bucky showed a satisfied expression, let go of Laura, touched her head, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Laura brushed away a strand of hair sticking to her forehead and said, "Actually, it's not very hard!"

"Very good!" Bucky smiled, and said to the children, "Practice with two people, let's start."

Laura returned to the children, and they divided into several groups, and began to practice the martial arts that Bucky had just demonstrated.

Bucky walked back and forth slowly among the children, correcting their small mistakes from time to time. Suddenly, he raised his eyes and saw a tall figure leaning on the railing not far away, watching the small playground silently. He laughed , and made a waiting movement towards the tall young man.

The other party said that they received it, and after raising their hands and making an OK gesture, they folded their hands in front of their chests and quietly looked at the small playground, where the children were happily trying out the fighting moves taught by Professor Bucky, and they laughed happily from time to time The sound made the corners of his mouth curl up.

Not long after, the bell rang in the direction of Xavier's main building, Bucky nodded to the children and said, "Okay, today, that's it!"

The children clapped their hands happily and walked towards the main building of Xavier in twos and threes. A thin little boy did not leave the small playground with his companions. He walked towards Bucky hesitantly, but followed the others Turning around after leaving, Laura noticed Lucas who was walking towards Bucky, and stopped involuntarily.

Lucas walked up to Bucky, glanced at him, and asked in a low voice, "I want to ask, Lilith, when will she come back..."

Bucky looked at Lucas who was a little cowering, this child has always been in this state when facing him, it seems that it is because he once captured this child, even though he is here to teach children martial arts instead of Lilith. Yue, the other children were already familiar with him, but this child named Lucas was still the same, and he never boldly looked at him directly.

"I don't mean anything else... I just want to know... After all," Lucas said with his head down.

Bucky stared at Lucas silently, without saying a word.

Lucas didn't get an answer, so he looked up and met Bucky's gaze. He quickly lowered his eyes and said, "I, I just want to ask, Lilith, she"

"Sorry, I don't know," Bucky said, "Actually, like you, I don't know when she'll be back."

Hearing this, Lucas glanced at him quickly, nodded dejectedly, and turned around silently.

Laura smiled at Bucky, waited for Lucas to approach, reached out to pat him, whispered a few words, and Lucas left the small playground with her.

Bucky stared at them, thinking of Lucas's problem, just like he told Lucas, he really didn't know the exact date of Lilith's return, he even had this girl sneak back to Xavier and take away Sienna* Schmidt didn't know she had returned until later.After that, Bucky began to know some information about her through the intelligence network resources in his hands.For example: All the strongholds of Hydra in the New York area, whether on the surface or underground, were swept, smashed, beaten, and robbed. There is no doubt that it should be her masterpiece, not only that, but recently Over the past week, the sites under attack have gradually spread to the surrounding areas...

"Hey, Bucky!" The tall young man in the distance waited for the children to leave, then walked towards Bucky slowly, breaking his thoughts.

Bucky turned his head, watched him approach, and said, "Steven, why are you here?"

Steven stroked his beard, and said with a self-deprecating face: "Even if you are a country, family, wanted, wanted, criminal, you have the right to visit your friends, don't you?"

Bucky squinted at him and said, "Could it be that you are the only one who is wanted, wanted, and criminal? Besides, I can hear a bit of showing off from your words."

"Oh, don't be ridiculous, Bucky, you obviously know what I mean! This is not showing off!" Steven shrugged with a smile, looked him up and down, and said, "You plan to teach here forever ?”

"It seems to be considered!" Bucky smiled slightly, looked at him and asked, "Or, you can also consider it."

Steven shook his head and said seriously: "Oh, no, no, if I can kill hundreds of enemies by myself, maybe I can think about it. As for being a teacher..." He had lingering fear on his face, "You must not have read And the ones they made me do, um, show the students...that was, seriously, I've had enough of lecturing poses." He made a big No with both hands, "That's really scary!"

Bucky hadn't seen the films he was talking about, but thinking about how he was preaching, he couldn't help but smiled amusedly, turned around and walked towards the dormitory area.

Steven followed up to him, and the two of them walked like a walk. He put his hand on Bucky's shoulder and asked, "Hey, you know why I'm here today, don't you?"

"My answer is still no!" Bucky glanced at him, "No, I don't need a new arm."

"What are your concerns?" Steven said helplessly, "I know you are worried about being controlled again, but you still refused Annie's help!"

"That's because I need to remember the people I killed when I used it as a weapon, instead of asking Annie to lock them up for me." Bucky stopped suddenly, pondered for a while, and seriously Look at Steven and say, "I'm fine now! Steven, really, really good!"

Steven remained silent, looked back at Bucky, sighed for a while, and said, "Bucky, you know that I will keep persuading you until you agree."

"Can you guarantee that after installing a new arm, I will no longer be controlled as a weapon? No, you can't, so let me do this!" Bucky reached out and patted Steven's arm, turned and left.

Steven chased after him, grabbed Bucky's right arm, and said, "Yes, I really can't guarantee it, but with me here, no one can get your idea! Bucky!"

Bucky turned his head to look at him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and said, "Thank you, Steven." But, "I don't need it, to be honest, you have to change your stubborn temper."

"Do you have to, Bucky!" Steven laughed resignedly, "Oh, then I'll just keep coming every day, I think I have enough time to persuade some stubborn guy."

"Hey, who is more stubborn? Isn't it you?" Bucky gave him a dissatisfied look.

Steven looked back at him provocatively, "No, you are more stubborn than me, as far as this arm thing is concerned!"

The two looked at each other with unconvinced expressions on their faces.

After a few minutes, the communicator on Steven's body beeped suddenly.

"It's time for you to save the world! Captain America!" Bucky twitched his lips slightly and said jokingly.

The tension on Steven's face suddenly burst like a balloon by Bucky's words. He pressed the call button, hummed, and said, "Okay, I'll be right there." Then, facing Bucky Key said, "I'll come back tomorrow! Remember, I'll be here every day!"

Bucky watched speechlessly as Steven strode towards his motorcycle, then sprinted away from Xavier, a faint smile slowly forming on his lips.
