The Third Winter Soldier

Lilith was carrying a black backpack on one shoulder, and walked slowly back to the West Wing dormitory. As soon as she entered the corridor, she heard a girl's childish voice saying, "A lot of things really happened!" She frowned slightly. He moved and thought to himself, the voice should be the little girl named Laura.

When Lilith walked to the door of her room, she glanced at Bucky's room casually, and sure enough, she saw the little girl sitting on the armrest of the sofa, smiling and watching Bucky lift the white cloth off the furniture in the room. , "How long will you live this time?"

Bucky slowly folded the white cloth in his hand, thought for a while and said, "Maybe, three days."

"Because of that big trouble?" Laura asked.

Bucky didn't answer her because he saw Lilith looking over with curiosity.

Laura noticed his gaze and saw Lilith at the same time. She jumped off the armrest of the sofa, walked to the door, made a face at Lilith, and then slammed the door shut.

Lilith raised her eyebrows and smiled, this unreasonable little girl really has a bad temper!She shrugged, turned and pushed away from her room and walked in without paying attention.

Bucky was in the room, looking at the smug little girl after closing the door, and said, "You don't like her?"

Laura blinked her big bright eyes and said, "Yes!"

"Don't do this in the future!" Bucky folded the white cloth and put it on a chair, pondered for a while, and asked, "Why don't you like her?"

Laura stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't know, maybe because you said she was your friend too?"

Bucky looked at Laura, smiled, and asked, "Just because of this?"

Laura wrinkled her nose and said, "And the way you look at her! I don't like it! I don't like it very much!"

Bucky was taken aback, watched Laura nestle into the sofa, and asked, "What look?"

Laura thought for a while and said, "I can't say, anyway, I just don't like it!" She looked at Bucky with her chin up, her eyes lit up suddenly, she snapped her fingers, and said, "Ah, I know what it's like In the eyes! It feels like when Logan wants to drive Jimmy and me away every time before he is going to be alone with Mother Annie, that kind! Yes, that’s the kind, annoying! Very annoying!"

When Bucky heard this, he looked at Laura dumbfounded, and said, "Because of that, you hate Lilith? Don't you think it's too unfair to Lilith?"

Laura folded her hands on her chest, snorted, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Bucky just shook his head, turned around and dragged his canvas bag to the side of the sofa, and began to take out the contents and put them on the sofa beside him.

Laura kept holding her hands together, but her eyes involuntarily slipped to Bucky. She watched Bucky take out some clothes from the canvas bag, and saw him take out a laptop, and asked: " Did you keep running away with these things when they wanted you?"

Bucky raised his eyes and smiled: "Someone seemed to be angry just now?" He said as he took out a weapon from the depth of the bag.

Laura pouted, stretched out her hand to grab Bucky's hand, looked at it over and over, and muttered: "You are my friend, I must not hate you, right!"

Bucky listened to her explanation, watched her play with the weapon on the sofa with gentle eyes, reached out to stroke her hair, and said, "After you get acquainted with her, maybe you will find that she is actually a very interesting person."

Laura didn't say anything, turned her head awkwardly, and silently looked at the weapons Bucky took out of the canvas bag one by one.

Bucky stared at Laura. It had been more than a year since he saw her. The panic in the little girl's eyes had disappeared, and her height had also grown a little. The only thing that remained unchanged were those bright and clear eyes, and the stubbornness in her bones.He sighed and said, "Okay, it seems that if I continue talking, you will probably stick out your little paw, so I'd better stop talking!"

"Bucky!" Laura raised her head angrily, stared at him, and said unhappily, "You know I won't stretch my claws at you!"

Bucky smiled, and he patted her head, "Yes, I know!"

"That..." Laura thought for a while, "I'll think about it... and then decide whether I want to continue hating her!"

Bucky nodded, looked at Laura's calm face, and said with emotion: "You are doing well now! It seems that you like this family very much, don't you?"

Laura raised her head to look at Bucky when she heard the words. She remembered Bucky in Stark's laboratory, he was taciturn, and there was often a hint of sadness and heavy gloom in his eyes, but now, he seemed a little It's different.She nodded and said, "Although many things have happened, I finally have a home, a home with Annie, Jimmy Jr., Charles, Logan and my companions."

"Fine!" Bucky nodded.

"So, what about you?" Laura looked up at Bucky, "Do you still remember that we pulled the hook!"

Stark Laboratories.

Bruce Banner temporarily left the bench because he was looking for a part.Bucky sat silently at the edge of the laboratory table. He was half-body, naked and naked, revealing his metal arm that was completely destroyed by Wolverine's claws. The arm was fixed on the bracket by Banner, so he couldn't stand or move. All I can do is turn my head to look at the laboratory door occasionally, and look at my broken arm occasionally.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Bucky turned his head and saw the little girl Laura walking in with a glass of milk in her hand.

He watched her.

Laura walked up to him slowly, handed the milk to him, and said, "Drink?"

Bucky turned his head slightly, frowned, and remained silent.

Laura moved the glass of milk to his mouth and asked again, "Drink?"

Bucky pursed his lips, turned his head, looked at the little girl in front of him, and said, "Don't drink!"

Laura nodded regretfully, withdrew her hand, raised the cup to her own mouth, and drank it all in one gulp. After she finished drinking, she licked her mouth, sighed like a little adult and said, "It tastes so good." Very good! I like it."

Bucky asked, "It tastes good?"

Laura nodded, looked at him and said, "You can't drink this in the institute."

"Institute?" Bucky looked at Laura slightly in surprise.

Laura didn't seem to think that this was worthy of his surprise. She reached out to pat his right arm and said, "Oh, you don't know, I was born in the genetic research institute of Odyssey."

Bucky looked at Laura puzzled and said, "Why are you telling me that?"

"You are different from them. I think you should be made like us, right?" Laura asked, pointing to his metal arm.

Bucky's eyes sank, he looked at his metal arm, and he fell silent.

Laura patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's no big deal to be born in a research institute. You see, we are all free now!"

Bucky looked up at the thin little girl in front of him, with a comforting expression on his face, smiled slightly and said, "Yes, you're right, it's no big deal."

Laura looked at him with a smile and said, "What's your name?"

"Bucky Barnes," Bucky said.

"My name is Laura!" She licked her lips again, finally licking off the milk that had been sticking to the corners of her lips.

"Little Angel!" Bucky laughed, looking at Laura, "I thought your name was Little Angel."

A look of shyness appeared on Laura's face, and she said, "Oh, that's so embarrassing, of course, that's not my name."

Bucky stretched out his right hand, tentatively probing Laura's head, but the little girl did not avoid it, but put her head in his palm very cooperatively, squatted in front of him, and said with a smile: "We are friends now. !"

Bucky gently stroked the little girl's not-so-soft hair, nodded and said softly, "Okay, little angel!"

Laura looked up at him and asked, "Best friend!"

Bucky nodded.

"Annie said that good friends should share each other's happiness and bear each other's pain." Laura stared at him, "Would you do that?"

Bucky smiled. It seemed that the little girl had learned this from Annie and couldn't wait to use it. He said very cooperatively, "Yes, that's true."

Laura thought for a moment and said, "So, shall we hook?"

Bucky frowned at her.

Laura held out her hand uncertainly, and said, "Garker, agreement?"

At that moment, it seemed as if time had flowed back in time, to Bucky’s childhood. The person in front of him was not Laura, but Steven. They have been supporting each other through the hail of bullets, until that accident split the fate of the two into light and darkness.Bucky stared intently at the little girl in front of him, his eyes slightly moistened, he stretched out his hand to hook her delicate fingers, and said with a smile, "La hook, promise."
