The Third Winter Soldier

Inside the barn.

Bucky left Sienna in the corner, turned around and walked to the wooden table and started using the communicator to contact Natasha, but Natasha didn't respond.Bucky frowned because he didn't get in touch with Natasha immediately. He lowered his eyes and his eyes fell on the computer screen in front of him. After thinking for a while, he slowly sat down in front of the computer. He moved his fingers hesitantly on the keyboard, and after a while, he quickly typed a message, telling Natasha what happened on the farm in concise words, and finally told Natasha that he was going to leave to find Zola.As for Sienna, Bucky not only didn't mention a word in the message, but after encrypting the message and sending it, he turned on the surveillance system and shattered and deleted all the surveillance image data of the farm.

Suddenly, the barn door was slammed open.

Bucky looked up and saw Lilith walking in with a man on his back, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Lilith carried Carl in with ease, and when she saw Bucky sitting in front of the computer, she raised her eyebrows and asked jokingly, "I thought you had already started packing, but... Hey, don't you worry about Hydra finding out what's going on here?" No, do you want to send someone over to check it? You still have the time to fiddle with the computer?"

A layer of displeasure floated in Bucky's eyes, silently looking at the man on Lilith's shoulder.

Lilith didn't realize his emotions, she walked to the wooden table and put Karl on the chair, then propped him upright against the back of the chair thoughtfully, and stroked his head.

Bucky had a panoramic view of all this, frowned and asked, "Who is he? What did you bring him here for?"

Upon hearing this, Lilith turned around and put her hand on Karl's shoulder in a coma. She smiled and said, "Let me introduce you, Karl Barton, my friend."

friend?Bucky looked at Carl calmly, and said, "What I'm asking is, why did you bring him here?"

"I said, this is my friend. Would you leave your friend in that grove?" Lilith replied lazily, only then did she notice the displeasure in Bucky's expression, and slightly Asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Can't I bring my friends here?"

Bucky coughed, closed the laptop, put away the scattered items on the wooden table, stood up abruptly and said, "Whatever you want! Now I'm going to leave here, you can stay here with your friends. After finishing speaking, he stopped talking to Lilith, but began to organize the things he planned to take away.

Lilith leaned against the edge of the wooden table, watched Bucky walk to his bed, thought for a while and asked, "Okay, then where are you going?"

Bucky leaned over and pulled out a neatly folded gray canvas drawer bag from under the bed. After untying the rope at the mouth of the bag, he stuffed his clothes and laptop inside.

"Hey, James Barnes, did you hear what I asked you?" Lilith walked behind him, and leaned over to watch him stuff things, "Where are you going?"

Bucky stood up with the canvas bag in his hand, and said blankly, "Excuse me!"

Lilith raised her eyebrows, and deliberately stood in front of him, and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Bucky looked up, and Lilith looked at him with a puzzled expression, and he walked sideways from her and walked into the barn stall.

Lilith stood there without moving. She heard the sound of Bucky flipping some boxes inside, frowned and thought for a while, then glanced at Carl on the chair, and suddenly realized something, and she walked slowly to the next door. Looking at Bucky at the door of the room, after a while, she said, "Hello, James Barnes!"

Bucky said nothing.

"Karl Barton is my friend." Lilith said, "He used to be my subordinate."

Bucky raised his head suddenly and looked at Lilith, "Subordinate? Your subordinate?"

Lilith smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

There was suspicion and doubt in Bucky's eyes. He pulled the rope of the canvas bag in his hand hard, tightened the mouth of the bag, hung the bag full of things, which was half as tall as him, on his shoulder, and stared at the bag. Lilith said: "So he is also from Hydra?"

Lilith was startled, then shook her head with a smile and said, "No, he's not."

"Lilith Schmidt, you don't have any experience in the army!" Bucky's eyes sharpened, and he stared at her, "And if he isn't from Hydra, then who is he?"

Lilith turned to look at Carl, was silent for a while, and said, "Lilith didn't join the army, but what I'm saying now is the truth. He is my partner, my subordinate, and even more my friend."

Bucky didn't seem to believe her words. He looked at Carl who was sleeping drowsily on the wooden chair, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to explain, I don't care."

Lilith curled her lips and looked at Bucky with "you don't care, why are you angry".

Bucky slung the canvas bag behind his back, avoiding Lilith's eyes, and walked straight out of the cubicle. Unexpectedly, Lilith suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, and he had to look up at her.

"Where are you going?" Lilith looked directly at him, "Don't tell me, it doesn't matter where you plan to go!"

In fact, Bucky did plan that way. He had several places where he could hide in New York, but those places were raided several times when he was officially wanted, so he planned to take Sienna out of New York first. , and then go to other cities or nearby towns.

Lilith stared at Bucky, and his eyes wandered a bit after hearing her words, so she quickly judged: "I'm right!" She looked at him incredulously, "You're not out of your mind Did it work? Where do you think you can hide with her?"

Bucky smiled lightly and said, "No matter where I hide, I just need to guarantee three days to ask what I want to know."

"Oh, you are so optimistic. I have to remind you that when Hydra found out that dozens of soldiers had been lost and Sienna disappeared again, do you think they would be so stupid according to their current strength? Three days? I think one day That's enough." Lilith shrugged, looked at Bucky's thoughtful face, and continued, "I know a place that should be able to help you."

"Oh?" Bucky laughed suddenly. He looked at Lilith for a few seconds and said with a playful smile, "Where do you want me to go by trying so hard to convince me?"

"That's right, I'm trying to convince you." Lilith nodded, she didn't feel the embarrassment of being directly told by Bucky, but she was a little happy. She let go of Bucky's arm and patted him lightly. Pat, said: "Let's put it this way! I have some questions I want to ask Sienna, and I just know a place that even if Hydra finds it, it may not dare to attack directly."

The corner of Bucky's mouth twitched slightly, and after a long silence, he said, "The place you want to talk about is the Avengers base?"

"No!" Lilith squinted at him, "Why do you think that? If it's there, I don't need to convince you at all!"

Bucky's eyes darkened, and there seemed to be a trace of bitterness on his mouth. He didn't want to say anything more, and asked, "Where?"

Lilith's fingers hopped lightly on his arm a few times, and said, "Xavier School for Gifted Boys."

Bucky frowned, he heard a trace of uncertainty in Lilith's words, "Do you know Professor X?"

"Of course, I know him!" Lilith smiled, "However, he doesn't know me!"

Bucky gave her a speechless look, avoided her fingers, and strode out.

"However, I was invited by someone in the school." Lilith said behind him, "In all fairness, apart from the Avengers base, there is no better place in the world than Xavier School for Gifted Boys to hide and buy time to interrogate Sienna *Schmidt?"

Bucky, who dragged Sienna to the gate of the barn, stopped. He slowly turned around and looked at Lilith with a calm face.

"According to what you said, if you are given three days, then I believe that in Xavier, you will have enough time to know what you want to know." Lilith said slowly.

damn it!Bucky cursed in his heart, and seeing the words "Don't miss it when you pass by" written clearly on Lilith's face, he said in frustration, "Are you sure?"

Lilith nodded with a smile, and said confidently, "Of course!"
