For Steve at this moment, why Bucky has become so powerful is not important; what matters is how to control Bucky and then find a way to restore his consciousness!
However, the problem is that Steve currently does not have the ability to control Bucky, especially without his shield. It's already very difficult for Steve to block Bucky's attacks.
Moreover, unfortunately, if Steve still had the Pig Talisman, he might have been able to forcibly defeat Bucky. But after losing the Pig Talisman, Steve did not undergo a direct mutation like Barry Allen and two others, nor did he achieve an initial mutation like Johnny Storm. He remained the same as before...
Steve could only rely on his strong will and deep love for Bucky to forcibly activate a 50/50 passive state, holding a standoff with Bucky.
Fortunately, Steve was not fighting alone. Last time during the Pig Talisman incident, Steve did not call for support because he was unaware of the situation with Robert and the animal warriors. But this time, facing his most important brother Bucky, Steve did not hesitate to call for support!
Remember, this is London, Peggy Carter's territory. Countless agents were waiting in the shadows for Peggy Carter and Steve's orders, silently protecting them.
Otherwise, Steve and Peggy Carter would not have chosen to live here incognito, enjoying their retirement life, and even daring to hold an exhibition without fear of exposure...
With Steve calling for backup, the agents hidden in the shadows sprang into action. In terms of strength, they were absolutely no match for Steve and Bucky, but they had the advantage of equipment and numbers. Plus, with Bucky already restrained by Steve, dealing with him was not so troublesome.
Even, if it were not for Steve's prior order for these agents not to use lethal weapons, Bucky would have been seriously injured...
In the end, with the help of a bunch of agents, Steve successfully captured Bucky. Originally, Steve planned to take Bucky back home, but considering Bucky's strength, he thought that if Bucky was brought home, he might continue to cause trouble once he woke up, which would upset Peggy Carter.
Thus, Steve took Bucky to one of the agents' bases to observe his condition and see if there was any way to help Bucky recover.
"Captain..." After some research by the base experts, they quickly concluded, "Mr. Barnes appears to have been brainwashed and controlled, and his body is unusual, possibly modified, with signs of having been cryogenically frozen..."
"Brainwashed? Is there a way to recover?" Steve, somewhat familiar with this technology, frowned and asked the experts.
"It's not that easy..." The experts exchanged glances, shaking their heads somewhat helplessly, and said softly, "Given Mr. Barnes's condition, he seems to have been brainwashed for many years. It's not so simple to make him recover in a short time..."
"Moreover, we suspect we found a signal source in Mr. Barnes's metal arm. Although we've already blocked the signal, we can't guarantee that the other party didn't receive Mr. Barnes's location before..."
"Can't we remove his metal arm?" Steve asked, looking at Bucky, who was still unconscious.
"It's difficult. We don't have the expertise here, and the technology level of the metal arm is higher than what we understand. Even if we find an expert in this field, it won't be easy to remove his metal arm in a short time!" The experts shook their heads helplessly, speaking softly.
"So, what can we do now?" Steve fell silent for a moment before asking.
"We suggest keeping Mr. Barnes in a sleeping state for now, then move him with signal-blocking measures to prevent being tracked here..." The experts exchanged glances and offered a unified suggestion.
"We can abandon this base, as there are no significant secrets or values here, but it's too dangerous for you to stay, Captain..."
"Let them come here! If they dare to come, I dare to fight!" Steve's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said sternly, "I also want to see who dares to tamper with Bucky, controlling him to the point of living death!"
"But Captain..." The experts hesitated, having seen the footage of capturing Bucky. They felt that if the opponent sent a large number of warriors like Bucky, this base would hardly defend against their attack, especially since aside from Steve, the combat ability of others here was too poor...
"Wake up Bucky. I want to try to communicate with him!" After making a decision, Steve looked towards Bucky and said seriously.
"Yes, Captain!" The experts exchanged resigned glances but did not oppose Steve's order, quickly waking Bucky.
"Let me go!" Bucky woke up but was not fully conscious. He was still in a brainwashed, terse state, struggling desperately but completely restrained and unable to break free, thus he roared angrily.
"Bucky, can you remember me?" Steve approached Bucky, looking at him affectionately and asked, "Do you remember us fighting together, playing together, watching movies together, and..."
Listening to Steve slowly recounting their experiences together, Bucky gradually calmed down, a memory or perhaps another personality within his consciousness beginning to awaken.
Because Bucky had been brainwashed for so long, a personality dedicated to executing orders was born, suppressing the original Bucky personality. This personality even had a specific name: the Winter Soldier.
"Steve... No! Stay away from me, I'll lose control..." Bucky's main personality began to recover a bit, but was quickly controlled again, his voice becoming more agitated, "Let me go! Otherwise, I'll kill you all!"
"Sigh!" Seeing Bucky losing control again, Steve sighed heavily, then fell into deep thought, pondering ways to help Bucky recover.
"Talismans!" Suddenly, Steve remembered the incident with the Pig Talisman. Although the Pig Talisman didn't have this capability, the various abilities displayed by Robert and others impressed Steve.
With this in mind, Steve quickly contacted Jackie Chan, and then through Jackie, he reached out to Robert, who had just finished a vacation with his family, waiting to see if Clark's debut as Superman would attract strong opponents
