Chapter 186
"What do you mean 'Let the Winter Soldier say something exciting'?" Tony almost laughed angrily, "What do you think the captain is, an adult version of Sleeping Beauty? A kiss can't wake him up, so you need something more exciting? "
Carl's eyes drifted subtly: "I didn't think my last sentence could be explained in this way. It was my mistake."
"Stop talking nonsense." Tony looked nervously at the captain who was still struggling in the treatment cabin, and spit out a few weird words from time to time, "Tell me what you did, the captain doesn't look good at all. You Are you sure it will wake him up? What damage will it do if it fails?"
"I'm not sure, but I can always find a way to wake him up." Carl replied, "If you fail, you won't lose anything, at most you will have a little nightmare."
With that said, Carl looked at the Winter Soldier.
The Winter Soldier, who stood quietly from the beginning to the end, felt Carl's gaze, and silently looked back at Carl.
He has a pair of pure and innocent eyes that make people feel unbearable.
This is Carl's first impression of the Winter Soldier.
The second impression is handsome.
But unlike the sunny and sweet handsomeness of Captain America, the Winter Soldier's handsomeness has a dark and slightly evil feeling. The gloomy part has never appeared in the past photos of the Winter Soldier. The evil in the Winter Soldier's face became more apparent.
This kind of evil is not an evil evil, but... but a playboy-like, frivolous, frivolous evil that is somewhat similar to Bruce.
"Go wake him, Winter Soldier," Carl whispered. "Go, please, call him 'Steven', tell him 'wake up.'"
The Winter Soldier and Carl stared at each other for a few seconds, while Tony watched the show with his arms folded.
The Winter Soldier is not an obedient character. He is very experienced in this regard. After being brought back by him, the Winter Soldier has indeed been very quiet and docile, but no matter what he says, the Winter Soldier will not respond, just like What he brought back was just an unconscious shell.
However, what happened next surprised him: After a few seconds of staring at each other, the Winter Soldier obediently walked towards Captain America, who was enduring an unknown torment.
"W-what?" Tony raised his voice. "What? What is this? I was wrong, little prince, you are not the old man's bastard, you are God's bastard. You are a cheat."
"Calm down, Ninny." Carl watched as the Winter Soldier bent down to speak in Captain America's ear, "It's not your problem, dear Ninny, take it easy. It's just—you know, it's hard for people to Deny my request."
"It's hard for people to refuse my request. This sentence should be my line." Tony said bitterly.
Steven stood blankly in a clearing.
He didn't know where he was, he wasn't familiar with everything around him, and he didn't quite know what happened to bring him to this place.He has some vague memories of what happened before he fell asleep, but those memories are only fragmentary fragments, not enough for him to piece together the whole incident.
A lot of things are changing, changes that he has never experienced before.
Small buildings are replaced by tall buildings, old blocks are refurbished, some things disappear permanently behind him, and more new things are constantly born; he sees the ups and downs of the economy, the upturn of the world situation, and the Some died permanently, including himself.
Then his name appeared in textbooks, in the streets and alleys, he had museums, monuments, and life-size statues.
People talked about him, called him "Captain America", and talked about his life experience like a treasure.
He also saw his friends, he saw Bucky, he saw Howard and his wife, he saw the woman who made him dream, his chief and colleague, Peggy...she was still so beautiful, Even with age, her calm and piercing eyes still shine brightly.
Steven finally understood what he was seeing.
It is time, which is gone and never returns, leaving his old friends old and dead, but leaving his time alone.
He was sad and miserable, and he couldn't believe it.He is a war hero who has shed blood and was injured. He has led soldiers to break through the enemy's encirclement countless times.
However, decades of time rotation and drastic changes in the world still make Steven feel unbearable.
He took a deep breath and struggled hard, like a fish lacking oxygen on the water surface, but the harder he tried, the more he could feel that his consciousness was moving away from this dream composed of time.
What is beyond the dream?
Whatever it was, Steven was sure it was something he couldn't bear.
He gritted his teeth and struggled, trying to get back to that first time when there was nothing around him and he didn't know anything, or at least let him pretend to be back.He does not lack courage and strength, he dares to face the reality, but the time gap of decades?
...let him sleep a little longer.
Steven didn't mean to escape, but in his memory, those close friends were still fighting with him a few minutes ago, and he himself had just been seriously injured.
He's just too tired, and if no one needs his protection, if he can't see his friends, he wishes he could rest a little longer.
"...Steven...wake up, get up..." A familiar voice called in his ear, "It's time to wake up, Steven. Get up soon!"
In the treatment cabin, Steven opened his eyes.
He blurted out, "Bucky!"
Tony crossed his chest and asked Carl, "How do you know this trick works?"
"The structure of the human brain is very complex. Even in the absence of biological activity, the subconscious mind, that is, the spiritual body, is still in a highly active state. At this time, the information that this person can get may even be more 'alive' than him. There are more times." Karl explained, "but only a very small number of people with special abilities can still remember the news and knowledge they got at that time after they wake up."
These people are usually extremely good magicians.
Steven is certainly not a magician, but as long as he is injected with a little magical power, he can preserve a lot of things he learned in a coma.
"Huh?" Tony was confused, "What is the connection between what you said and the question I asked?"
"If I've been frozen for decades, of course I hope to see my friends when I wake up." Carl changed his explanation.
This explanation was obviously easier for Tony to accept, he curled his lips and turned his attention back to the Captain and the Winter Soldier.
Steven stared at his best friend in surprise, and the Winter Soldier stared at Steven blankly for a few seconds before realizing he was being called.
He said indifferently, "Who the hell is Bucky."
Tony turned to look at Carl, who coughed and looked away.
"Bucky! It's me, I'm Steven, we're best friends and best brothers..."
Captain America, who had just woken up, obviously couldn't accept the fact that Bucky didn't know him anymore, and tried hard to instill in Bucky the good friendship they had once had, but Bucky just stood aside silently, indifferent to any words of the captain .
"Okay, okay, captain, stop talking." Carl didn't say anything, so Tony had to interrupt the emotional captain, "Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. To put it simply, you may not believe it, but now the distance from your being killed The freezing time has passed—"
"I know." Steven said.
Tony blinked, "You know? Well, you know. Let me make a long story short. Peggy is dying now. We're going to take you to see her. If you're lucky, you can see her for the last time."
"... Peggy." Steven's expression froze.
Carl's helicopter was parked outside, and he took Tony and Steven out. The Winter Soldier stood behind them and watched their backs not move. Steven soon realized that Bucky hadn't followed, and subconsciously stopped He stepped forward and looked at Tony and Carl suspiciously.
Tony also looks at Carl.
Carl said, "Change and come with us, Winter Soldier."
Looking at the Winter Soldier who turned around to find his clothes, Tony felt incredible: "Why is he willing to listen to you? You must have done something, Carl, be honest."
"Before you found him, I had a short communication with him." Carl said solemnly, "it made him deeply aware of the mistakes in his behavior."
Simply put, after flying away from Lex, he found the Winter Soldier who failed to assassinate and tried to escape.
Then beat him up.
And educate him to listen to Carl.Al's words.
The hospital where Peggy was being treated was nearby. They left the plane at the airport specially set up by the hospital and rushed to Peggy's ward without stopping, because they took Steven and the Winter Soldier who were in a special situation. Special passage, but to be on the safe side, Carl still made some disguises for Steven and the Winter Soldier.
Standing outside the ward and looking in through the transparent glass, Steven finally showed a painful expression.
Paige was skinny to the bone.
Her cheeks were pale and sunken, lifeless, her body only raised the quilt slightly, and she swept over carelessly, saying that there was no one on that bed, no one would believe it.
This is not the same person as Peggy in Steven's memory, but the person lying on the hospital bed is undoubtedly Peggy.
Time has separated them into two worlds.
"...Bucky." With a trembling voice, he sought his friend's company, but when he turned around, he found that there was no one around him.
Tony, Carl, and the Winter Soldier are in another room.
After holding back all the way, Tony finally couldn't help asking: "How do you know that asking the Winter Soldier to call him can wake him up? I know the Winter Soldier is his best friend, but this is unreasonable. You asked me to let him go." I think Ji's recording is more reasonable."
"It's nothing out of the ordinary." Carl stared at the wall, as if he could see what was going on inside through this wall, "Decades ago the Winter Soldier was Steven's best friend and brother, decades later Today, the Winter Soldier is more than that."
"From today on, the Winter Soldier is the only one special to him."
