The Third Winter Soldier

Bucky walked to the door of Charles' office, hesitating for a moment.

"Come in!" Charles said inside. He was holding a book in his hand, and turned to look at Bucky standing outside the door. "Obviously you have something to ask me!"

Bucky walked into Charles' office in silence, the door closed slowly behind him, he walked towards Charles, stopped a few steps away from him, and said in a deep voice, "Where is she?"

Charles closed the book in his hand, put it on the desk, smiled, and said, "Before I tell you, I thought you might want to tell me about this Sienna Schmidt and how you caught her Want to know what?"

Bucky stared at him, the smile on Charles' face looked very approachable, but his eyes flashed, Bucky and him looked at each other face to face, even though Bucky knew he was not stage fright, his hands dropped involuntarily And clasped in front of his body, this is not Charles using his ability, but an aura exuded by himself. Bucky does not dislike such aura, and obeys his body with a respectful attitude.

"Bucky?" Charles looked at him with a smile.

The corner of Bucky's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Perhaps, you have already received news about Steven..."

Charles stared at him calmly and said, "Yes, I do know that Captain America had an accident, that's all."

Bucky nodded. The words Professor X said already contained all the information he knew. Apart from that, the Avengers should not have any more news. He pondered for a while and said: " I need to find someone from her mouth to treat Steven."

Charles nodded slightly and said nothing.

Bucky looked straight at him and said, "I have no need to hide."

Charles smiled and said, "No, you misunderstood. It's not that I don't believe what you said, but this woman is probably the person we are looking for."

Bucky looked at him puzzled.

Charles fumbled slowly on the armrest for a while, and said slowly: "In the past three months, Xavier has lost a student."

Bucky didn't speak, still staring at Charles with a puzzled expression.

Charles pointed to his head and said slowly, "I saw the missing student in her memory."

"So, you want to intervene?" Bucky asked directly. "Or, you have used your super power to read her memory?"

Charles laughed lowly, looked at Bucky and said, "I can't read all her memories."

"Why?" Bucky asked, staring at him.

Charles looked back at him with a smile and said, "What you see now is a brand new me, but inside, it's not."

Bucky turned his head slightly, looked at him, and remembered some things about mutants he had learned on the way to escape. Charles should be talking about reshaping the resurrection of the body through the ability of the Scarlet Witch. He thought about it and asked Said: "You can't do it? Or, you can't do it?"

With a shallow smile on Charles's face, he said gently: "Someone made a mental barrier for her. My current ability is not stable enough. Forcibly opening the barrier will only make her lose all consciousness, so I can't do it. Can't do that either."

Bucky nodded understandingly. The man with the strongest brain said that he was powerless, so it is true that super powers and other means cannot be used to solve the problem: "What do you want?"

As soon as Charles heard his question, he laughed, looked at his slightly dark face, and said, "I hope you can find out the whereabouts of the missing students from her!"

whereabouts?Bucky stared at Charles, his face full of certainty, obviously he knew that his student was not killed.

"That's right, he's still alive." Charles saw Bucky's doubts and said frankly, "Unfortunately, I can't determine his location."

Bucky fell silent.

Charles didn't seem to be in a hurry. He picked up the book he was looking at just now, turned the wheelchair and moved it to the side bookcase, and slowly put the book back to the previous position. Then, he turned the wheelchair to face Bucky, smiled and said : "It seems that you have doubts about what I said, which is good, now, come, come with me!"

Bucky was caught by what Charles said, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and he followed him out of the office in silence.

At this moment, it is about the children's recess time, and occasionally there will be children coming and going in the corridor, and they will call him with great respect when they see Charles. Bucky can see that these children really respect Charles, not because His identity or aura coercion.

Charles led him all the way to the east wing of the building, and Bucky noticed that after they left the main building, only him and Charles who led the way were left.

Charles led him into a room that looked like a small classroom, and reached out to touch a small handle in the bookcase in the room. The bookcase on the wall immediately slid open to the right, revealing a silver-white door inside. Embossed with a simple letter x.

Bucky stared at the huge cross, silently lowering his eyes.

"Let's go!" Charles has already opened the silver door, manipulated and steered the wheelchair along the ramp to enter the silver corridor inside, turned his head to look at Bucky who was still in place, "We have arrived!"

Bucky regained his senses, trotted a few steps without saying a word, and followed.

After Charles led him along the ramp into the silver corridor, he walked straight to the end of the corridor, stretched out his hand and pressed a metal plate on the right, and a black iris scanner automatically protruded from it. He looked at the scanner At a glance, the machine beeped slightly, and then it was put back.As the machine retracted, the metal plate also reset automatically, and the entire metal plate on the right side suddenly melted like water boiling to form a circular door opening.And inside the doorway is a silver space, where Sienna, who is dressed in red, is lying on the silver metal floor, looking extremely dazzling.

Bucky didn't go in, turned his head to look at Charles, and said, "The iris scan means that if I want to interrogate her, I have to come here with you?"

Charles smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't have to be me, Logan is fine too."

Bucky's face darkened, he looked at Charles, and silently turned to Sienna.

"I need to know where my students are hiding now." Charles said softly on the side, "It's easy to do, isn't it?"

Bucky stared at Sienna who was in a coma. It had to be said that Charles arranged for her to be held here, which was a thousand times better than he expected. No one could force Charles or Wolverine to scan the irises, which meant that the room could not be opened, but Well, what's not so good is that the reason, which Charles explained very clearly, seems to him to be full of doubts. Professor X's brain enhancement device can completely help him find mutants in any corner of the world. As long as he wants, but now he says he can't do it.He turned his head slowly, stared at the gentle-looking Professor X beside him for a long time, and said, "It's easy?"

"It's easy for you and me." Charles stared at Sienna, "Isn't it?"

Bucky pursed his lips tightly and stared at him, but he couldn't find any clues from his face to prove that he was not suspicious. However, he failed. What he saw was the man with a faint smile on his face all the time. Professor X looks so calm and cheerful.

"Why are you willing to take us in?" Bucky asked suddenly.

Charles looked up, looked at him for a moment, and said: "When Logan took me and Laura to run away, we met a very nice family. They invited us to dinner and stayed with them. home."

Bucky listened quietly, but found that his eyes had wandered away, and he asked, "Are they dead?"

Charles nodded sadly and said, "That's right."

"You took us in because of that family," Bucky said. "So, is it because of guilt, or because you want to... atone for it?"

Charles looked at Bucky still not understanding, but he was not angry. He said kindly, "Maybe!"

Bucky said nothing.

"She hasn't woken up yet, it looks like you have to come again!" Charles turned the wheelchair around, "Let's go!"

Bucky watched the wall return to its original shape, stared at the wall for a long time in thought, then suddenly turned to Charles and said, "I can ask for you."

Charles had already driven the wheelchair to the ramp, he turned his head slightly, smiled and said, "Thank you, Bucky."
