American Comics: The Matrix

"Click——"

At this time, the elevator door suddenly opened, Connors walked in, glanced at the people gathered together, and then said:

"The guy woke up."

Before Steve and Tony realized who the other party was talking about, Nick Fury quickly stood up, looked at Steve Rogers with a complicated look, and said, "It's your old friend.

"James Barnes."

Nick Fury thought Steve would be surprised to hear the name.

In fact, Steve was really surprised, but in addition to being surprised, he looked at Tony Stark with another, more complicated look.

There was worry and guilt in his eyes.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't know this person." Tony frowned.

Hearing this, Bant looked at Steve. He was very curious about what choice Steve Rogers would make this time. Would he protect Bucky, or would he take the initiative to tell Tony what happened?

Steve was also looking at Bant.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he was asking Bant, didn't he tell Tony the truth?

Bant shook his head at him.

Tony only knows that the person who killed his parents was the Winter Soldier, but he doesn't know his name.

Many people think that in Captain America 3, Steve chose to conceal the fact that Bucky killed Howard in order to save Bucky.

But in reality, he didn't have much chance to explain to Tony.

When they finally fought and broke up, Steve had only known about this for a short time.

This time, he had enough time and opportunity, but Tony and he were not even friends.

What choice will he make?

"What's wrong? Why did the atmosphere suddenly become so strange?"

Peter scratched his head and asked in confusion.

At this time, Steve stood up, walked to the elevator first, then exhaled heavily, as if he had made an important decision.

He looked at Tony, the guilt in his eyes becoming even stronger.

"Tony... Howard was once my friend..."

"so what?"

Steve opened his mouth, not knowing where to start, but he still went on.

"You don't know that your parents' death... is also related to Hydra. They were assassinated..."

"I knew that a long time ago." Tony said calmly.

He looked calm, but Steve was surprised.

"You knew already?"

"Hydra, Winter Soldier...or do you think I have nothing to do after eating, and would risk becoming a wanted criminal to help you fight Hydra?"

Tony looked like he was losing his mind.

"So what exactly are you trying to say?"

"James Barnes is one of the Winter Soldiers and the one who killed your parents. He was also the one who attacked this black salted egg. After Harry defeated him, he took him to Primus."

Seeing that Steve finally chose to clarify everything with Tony, but just didn't know where to start, Bant helped and explained.

Tony didn't hear the second half of the sentence at all.

He only heard that the criminal who killed his parents was now in this building. At this moment, he had no other thoughts except to make that man pay with his life.

He stood up, his lips trembling, but his voice was very cold:

"Which floor is the infirmary on?"

"15th floor," Bant said.

Tony walked out without looking back, but Steve stopped him in front of the elevator.

"Calm down, Tony!"

Steve stopped him: "It's not Bucky's fault, he doesn't know, he's been brainwashed..."

Although he chose to tell the truth, Steve still planned to protect Bucky, not only because Bucky was his friend, but also because the past could not be changed and he always had to protect the one who survived.

"Whose fault is that, my dad?"

Tony scoffed.

His eyes were red, and the look he gave Steve was filled with hatred and resentment.

"You are worthy of being my father's friend?"

"Feel sorry……"

Steve was speechless. He could only keep saying sorry. He could neither make up for nor repay what he owed to Howard.

"Step aside!"

Tony said coldly.

"sorry, I……"

"I'm going to the studio, get out of the way!"

He pushed Steve Rogers away with an expressionless face. Steve was strong enough to pull back a helicopter, but at this moment he seemed so weak that he was pushed away by him with a palm.

Then Tony stumbled into the elevator alone, like a toddler.

The elevator door slowly closed, like an unbreakable barrier, completely separating Steve and Tony.

This scene made Nick Fury very helpless.

He thought that the Avengers gathered here and would be able to fight side by side right away.

But unexpectedly, cracks appeared in this organization so quickly.

Steve lowered his head and said nothing. He watched the elevator go down instead of going to the 15th floor. He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt more and more guilty in his heart.

But soon, he kept this emotion in his heart and turned to find Bucky.

Inside the studio.

Tony Stark had a gloomy face and kept hitting the iron sheet with a hammer in his hand.

In fact, with the material of the latest Mark armor, it would not leave any trace at all if it was hammered by human power.

He was venting his anger more than beating the steel.

Bant came up behind him.

"I thought you were going to fight him right away."

Tony said coldly without even looking up:

"Why would I fight a drugged guy when I'm not wearing armor?"

After all, Tony had just passed the moment when he saw his parents' death, and he seemed calmer than in the movie.

"I don't think he'll fight back," Bant said.

Tony stopped what he was doing, turned around, looked at Bant stubbornly, and even a little aggrieved, and asked:

"You already knew?"

"what?"

"Don't play tricks. Didn't you already know that Bucky is the Winter Soldier who killed my parents?"

Bant was stunned.

He suddenly felt that this scene was very similar to déjà vu, just like Tony questioning Steve in the movie.

No?

Am I Steve?

"So you did know it a long time ago, but you kept it from me in order to win the war, right?" Tony questioned Bant.

"You also think I shouldn't kill him?"

"Why do you think so?"

"We should unite in the face of a powerful enemy..."

"The premise of unity is to resolve internal conflicts first," Bant said. "No matter what decision you make, I support you."

Tony was surprised.

"I thought you would say that he was brainwashed, it's not his fault, he is just a tool, like a knife..."

Tony bowed his head.

"I shouldn't take my anger out on tools."

"But as a victim, you have the right to destroy the knife," Bant said.

Tony looked at him and felt better. He took a breath and said:

"I didn't expect you to stand on my side."

"Of course I'm on your side. I'm not the kind of guy who likes great and glorious personalities. We are the same kind of people, and I like you more."

-

"Of course I'm on your side, Captain."

In the recovery room, Bant patted Captain America on the shoulder.

"You know, Tony is too self-absorbed sometimes. I don't like him at all. I like you more!"

I'm not in a very good condition, so I'll only update twice today.

I'm going to see Deadpool 3 tomorrow morning. Has everyone watched it?

Chapter 159: National Wanted

In the convalescent room.

Looking at Bucky who had woken up but couldn't move, Steve's heart felt like it was breaking.

He had already talked to Bucky, but at this moment Bucky was like a robot that had not yet been started. He had not received any instructions and naturally would not respond.

He sat beside Bucky's hospital bed and kept talking about the past, saying that when he was not yet Captain America, Bucky protected him and helped him teach those who bullied him a lesson.

Even though he always refused to appreciate it, Steve knew that if it weren't for Bucky, he would have died long ago with his frail body and many illnesses.

He also said that when his parents passed away, it was Bucky who stayed by his side, comforted him, and helped him get over the pain.

"You said you would always be by my side..."

Bucky stared at the white ceiling above his head, unresponsive like a puppet.

Steve also said that he had rescued Bucky from danger, and they had been working together. In the last mission, Bucky fell from the train, and he and the plane were buried in the icy sea...

Then, both of them fell into a long silence.

After a long while, Bucky suddenly turned his head and looked at Steve.

He said, "I don't know you."

Hearing this, Steve was stunned at first, and at the same time he felt pain and relief.

"It's okay, I'll remember it."

It doesn’t matter that he has lost his memory. The person he fears the most, Buggy, can no longer be communicated with and has become a pure tool.

"Captain, we have to act."

At this time, there was a knock on the ward door.

The person who came out was Peter.
