Heroes of Marvel

At the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., although Lin Rui's battle with Hydra was informed in advance and Nick's complete plan, S.H.I.E.L.D. was still hit hard, and it was completely exposed to the eyes of the world's people. For this reason, it took a lot of effort for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the World Security Council to control the situation. Now that more than a week has passed, Nick can finally relax a little bit.

At this time, in the director's office of the SHIELD headquarters, Nick was seriously watching a video on the computer screen in front of him. The footage of the video was a little shaky, but the picture displayed was very clear. There are two people in the picture, the one standing in the corner is the Winter Soldier Bucky wearing a black suit and a mask, and the person standing in front of the Winter Soldier is the Phantom Knight. Nick was watching the surveillance video of the fight between Lin Rui and Bucky more than a week ago, and he didn't know what he found.

da da~

Just as Nick was watching the surveillance video intently, Captain Rogers came over from behind him. And Nick obviously found the person behind him, and he said hello without looking back, "Come and take a look, our mysterious Phantom Knight seems to have something to hide from us."

"Isn't this normal? Don't you have a lot of things you didn't tell me." Stepping forward from behind Nick, Steve replied lightly. Captain Rogers disliked Nick's practice of keeping everything in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it. Who called Nick the director, and some things are indeed better as less people know about them.

Hearing Steve's calm words, Nick's heart skipped a beat. Nick did hide a lot of things from Rogers, but those were not important, and Rogers wouldn't say much even if he cared. However, about the Winter Soldier in the surveillance video, Nick wondered if Captain Rogers had seen something before.

About the Winter Soldier that Hydra studied sixty years ago, Nick actually knew it before the internal information of SHIELD was decrypted. Therefore, in addition to Lin Rui knowing that the Winter Soldier in the surveillance is Bucky, Nick has already guessed who he is. Nick asked Steve to watch the surveillance video together this time to give him a mental preparation first. After all, Bucky was Steve's best friend. If Steve finds out later in the battle, it may cause unnecessary accidental losses.

"So, I'm going to tell you one thing today. But first, don't get too excited after seeing what's going on next." After taking a serious look at Steve, Nick continued.

"Well? What's the matter?" Steve asked in surprise when he heard Nick's words. The hydra has been exposed, what else can make him excited?

"Look at it yourself." As he said, Nick pointed to the screen in front of him and took a step aside.

Captain Rogers followed Nick's hand and looked at the screen, where there was a picture of Lin Rui and Bucky the Winter Soldier facing off in the corner more than a week ago.

In Steve's sight, the injured Hydra thug was repelled by the Phantom Knight, but the Phantom Knight did not continue to attack, but stood still. Steve judged that the Phantom Knight should be talking to the thug, which puzzled him.

From the angle of this monitor, only Lin Rui's back can be photographed, but it is just facing Bucky's front. Just when Captain Rogers wondered what the Phantom Knight was saying to the Hydra thug, the front of Bucky, who had climbed up from the ground again, just happened to be displayed on the monitor, this time without a mask. So, when Steve saw Bucky's very familiar face, he was stunned as if he had been immobilized, his eyes fixed on the man in the surveillance video, silent. Memories in the depths of my heart quickly flooded up.

"Bucky?!" The voice trembled, and Steve stared at Bucky in the video and called out the long-lost name in disbelief.

Noticing the reaction of Captain Rogers around him, Nick did not disturb him by talking at this time, but let Steve calm down first.

After seeing Bucky's face, Steve stared at the surveillance video more carefully, and even reached out and tapped the screen a few times to enlarge the screen, wanting to see it more clearly.

In the surveillance video, the Phantom Knight seems to have said something to Bucky, but Bucky did not answer, and instead planned to continue attacking the Phantom Knight. However, just as he was about to attack, he stopped. From the video, Steve noticed that the Phantom Knight seemed to be shouting something, and he could notice the trembling of his body when looking at the back.

After the Phantom Knight shouted something, Bucky's mood seemed to have changed. He held his head in place and started talking nonsense, and then calmed down again. The quality of the surveillance video is very high, and Nick has already asked the intelligence to analyze Bucky's mouth shape and display the words he shouted on the screen.

"Steve? Who is this? Who am I?!" That's what Bucky said when he calmed down. After seeing the few short words displayed on the screen, Steve's heart turned violent, and he already had a very bad premonition.

However, when he saw the next scene in the video, he almost cried out. Because, the Phantom Knight who was facing Bucky suddenly rushed towards him. Just when Steve thought the Phantom Knight was going to kill Bucky, a violent explosion suddenly occurred outside the wall that Bucky was leaning against. The place where Bucky was standing was completely blown up, and the smoke and flying rubble covered the area.

"Bucky!!" Although he knew that this happened a week ago, Steve couldn't help worrying about Bucky.

A dark shadow seemed to rush out in the smoke and dust, and then another light flashed before the monitoring, and then the rushing out shadow was blown back at a faster speed, and finally stuck to the wall behind. , it is the phantom knight who chased out. Captain Rogers, who saw this scene, was very puzzled. He didn't know why the Phantom Knight did this. He obviously saw that the Phantom Knight didn't want Bucky to die.

At the end of the video, the Phantom Knight broke free from the wall unharmed, then walked to the corner of the collapsed wall and looked down before leaving. When the figure of the phantom knight disappeared from the surveillance, the whole video ended, and it returned to the original picture again.

After the video ended, Steve reached out and quickly swiped on the screen a few times, and finally fixed the entire video at the moment Bucky showed his face. Putting the video to the maximum, Steve determined that the thug of the Hydra was Bucky, and the owner of that face played with him from childhood to adulthood, and he would not forget it.

"I also sent someone to look for it later, but I couldn't find it. He should not have died, but escaped." After Rogers, who was beside him, finally watched the video, Nick's words came slowly.

"When did you know?" Steve asked in a low tone without taking his eyes off the screen.

"It's been a while, but I haven't been able to be sure that it's him." In the face of Captain Rogers' question, Nick answered truthfully.

boom!

Hearing Nick's answer, Steve punched the base of the monitor in front of him, directly punching a dent in the solid base. Steve was clearly furious that Nick knew about Bucky's situation and didn't tell himself, and that was his best friend! A good friend who fought side by side, Bucky Barnes, who died on the battlefield in order to fight against the Hydra!

Glancing at the hollow made by Steve, Nick's eyes flashed, which seemed to be different from what he expected. He underestimated the relationship between Steve and Bucky too much.

"Where is he now?" Withdrew his fist, Steve continued to ask.

"After the war last week, we have been searching for Hydra's bases around the world, and we have also eliminated a lot of Hydra's hidden teams one after another, but we haven't found him yet. As a winter soldier who was secretly trained by Hydra , he is no longer what he used to be." First answered Steve's words, and Nick added later that he didn't want Captain Rogers to affect the plan to exterminate Hydra because of his personal feelings.

"I know very well!" He replied coldly, and Steve had already sent this surveillance video to his terminal.

call!

Then, Steve didn't intend to listen to what Nick said later, turned around and quickly left the director's office. And Nick watched Steve leave and could only sigh silently, hoping that what he did today was not wrong. However, even if he doesn't tell Steve today, he'll know for himself later, and it might be even worse.
