"Steve, there is news that you will be very excited after hearing. So make some mental preparations now and be sure to stay calm!"
Although he didn't know what news Howard was going to say, Steve still suppressed the excitement in his heart just now, and then prepared himself for the shock brought by Howard.
"You should all know that Maria and I were assassinated, right?" Howard did not reveal the news immediately, but first asked a question to everyone.
Everyone nodded in affirmation. As the founder of Stark Industries, it was impossible for Howard not to report the attack on him and Maria on the news.
Therefore, even ordinary people have heard about this big news that could be said to be earth-shattering at that time.
"At that time, we didn't know who was behind the attack on Maria and I, so after narrowly escaping under Thor's protection, we simply used the trick to create an explosion in the hospital and designed our The illusion of being killed by the enemy is used to fake death to escape."
"Later, we changed our identities and lurked in S.H.I.E.L.D. We continued to conduct secret investigations. After collecting and combining a large amount of evidence, we finally discovered the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. It turned out to be HYDRA, who was supposed to have been eliminated by 347 during World War II! "
"It turns out that with the help of the original "Paperclip Project", they entered various government departments and intelligence organizations of S.H.I.E.L.D and the United States, and then used the dead to parasitize the victors and continue to suck blood to strengthen themselves."
"The reason why HYDRA took the risk of exposing our identities and attacked Maria and I was to gain access to the latest research results of the super soldier serum.
. "fruit
"But all this is not the most shocking thing to me. The most difficult thing for me to accept is..."
When Howard said this, he glanced at the United States captain Steve Rogers in front of him somewhat unbearably, and finally said slowly:
"The most difficult thing for me to accept is that one of the people who attacked us that day was someone I knew. His name was James Barnes!"
"What?!" Upon hearing this name, the first and biggest reaction was Steve.
Steve didn't care what other people's reactions were, he rushed to Howard in one stride, clasped his hands on Howard's shoulders, and asked seriously: "Howard, are you sure? Bucky...is still alive?"
If it weren't for the accessory Loki gave Howard, which gave him super fast Self-healing Ability, Steve might have rushed over and grabbed him, which would have been enough to send him to the hospital.
However, being able to self-heal does not mean that you will not feel pain. Thinking about Steve's hand strength after being strengthened by the super soldier serum, one knows how terrible it must be. What's more, Steve's emotions are rising now, and his hand strength is very scary. The strength on it is even less important.
"Steve, you, please calm down first, can you let me go first..."
"Sorry, Howard. I just couldn't control myself after hearing the news about Bucky."
"It's okay, I can understand it. I was also shocked when I found out that the person who attacked me was Barnes. Later, I also doubted whether I had seen it wrong, or maybe there were two people so similar in the world. individual."
"So what's the result?" Steve asked impatiently.
"The result is that, according to the results of my investigation, (ahac) that person is Barnes! Because when he was captured by HYDRA before, HYDRA had conducted a test on the super soldier serum on Barnes, so he was never used during that mission. After falling into the valley on the train, he did not die on the spot, but was seriously injured and fell into a coma."
"After that, Barnes, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was discovered by a group of Soviet soldiers passing by and taken back. Because of Barnes's physical fitness that was different from ordinary people, he was sent to a secret organization and transformed into a The Winter Soldier."
"Later, this secret organization began to cooperate with HYDRA, which gradually recovered its vitality, and was eventually completely annexed by HYDRA with the disintegration of the Soviet Union. And Barnes, the Winter Soldier, was also completely transformed into a killing tool in the hands of HYDRA. "
When Steve heard the news, he couldn't help but feel sad on the spot. He recalled that when he was still that little man, Bucky was always by his side.
Ever since he was young, Bucky has always been so dazzling in Steve's eyes. He is not only a goal that people chase along the way, but also a person who warms people's hearts and gives them courage.
It is precisely because of Bucky, a friend who has always been by his side, that Steve was able to persevere all the way and eventually became the superhero in people's eyes, the captain of the United States.
But today Steve learned that Bucky, who was supposed to be a hero, actually fell into the hands of ambitious people and became their tool of destruction and killing.
Although Bucky did not do any of this voluntarily, you can imagine how painful it will be when Bucky wakes up one day and knows that his hands are stained with so much blood!
And just imagining this kind of pain makes Steve's heart beat like a knife, making it unbearable.
"Don't worry, Steve! I asked Fury to call you all here today, not only to make arrangements for the elimination of HYDRA, but also to rescue our hero and our friend Barnes."
In the bridge, hearing Howard's speech, whether it was Hill, Phil Coulson, Barton, or Natasha Romanoff, even Tony, who had always been indifferent, nodded solemnly. It was obvious that everyone was very appreciative of Division's efforts on this matter.
And Steve, who received the support of everyone, at the moment also cheered up again. Just like when he was still weak, he would never be knocked down by anyone, Steve today is even less likely to give in easily!
Whether it's for Bucky, or for justice and peace, HYDRA must receive the punishment it deserves.
