Marvel's The Dark Knight Rises

Chapter 52 What I Want

"You said that I was used by Hydra for experiments and preliminary brainwashing? You finally found me in this base? Wait! You just said that you took a few people and captured this base ?”

After shaving off his beard, Bucky finally decided to keep his long hair, wearing the regular combat uniform of Hydra soldiers, and "visiting" this huge and fully functional original Hydra reserve base with Bruce, While listening to Bruce talking about everything that happened during his unconscious period, after Bruce said that he took Zola to capture the base, he interrupted Bruce and asked in a daze.

Bruce nodded, staring into Bucky's puzzled eyes and said: "Yes, all of this is true, Bucky, the changes in your body were brought to you by the incomplete serum of Hydra, in other words, Your current physical fitness and metabolism have far surpassed ordinary people, and this base was captured by me with seven mercenaries after I relied on Zola to break into them, relying on some drugs and a short period of time. storm."

Bucky felt the strength and vitality that he had never had before in his body, and then thought of the unique Hydra logo that can be seen everywhere in the base these days, finally believed everything Bruce said, hesitated for a moment, like He wanted to ask something, but in the end he swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and just looked Bruce up and down: "When you came to me, you didn't get hurt, did you?"

Bruce shook his head, but he took Bucky's hesitation into his heart. There was a flash of struggle in his eyes, and he took Bucky a few steps further, as if he had made a decision, he suddenly said, "I know, Bucky, you must have a lot of questions in your mind, about why I found you here, and why I was able to capture Hydra's heavily guarded base without showing any signs of injury. All of this is not like what I used to be able to do Yes, it doesn't seem like something an ordinary person can do."

Bruce looked at Bucky, who was stunned by his bluntness and was waving his hands to explain something to him, smiled and pinched his shoulders, jokingly said: "It's not like the one who speaks straight, never speaks in front of me." James Barnes who doesn't hide his thoughts~"

After finishing speaking, Bruce slowly put away his smile, and continued with a sincere face: "About some things that happened to me that you can't understand for the time being, Bucky, I don't want to lie to you, but I can't tell you right now. Fully explained, but I hope you understand, no matter what, I am the 'Bruce' you are familiar with, no matter how 'strange' you will see me in the future, in front of you and Steve, I will be It's 'Bruce,' the kid you guys grew up with in Brooklyn, you know what I mean?"

Bucky stared blankly at Bruce's explanation, but subconsciously stretched out his hand and pinched Bruce's shoulder, and said without hesitation: "I believe you, I believe you, Bruce, you... don't need to explain this, if there is One day you want to talk, tell me when the time comes, I have some doubts, but I don’t doubt you, since I was young, I have believed in you the most. You know, after I was captured, I was sent to that room’ What was the last thought before losing consciousness in the dark room?"

Before Bruce could answer, Bucky grinned and said, "I think, when I open my eyes again, one of you or Steve will stand in front of me and tell me everything's okay."

When Bruce heard Bucky's "stupid" words, the string that had been tense in his heart for the past few days finally relaxed, and at the same time he felt a little sour in his heart, just because he had been worried these days that Bucky would question him. Those "questions" that he simply couldn't answer.

But in the end, Bucky only answered him: "I believe in you." He didn't ask any other questions, which made him feel relaxed, but at the same time, he also blamed himself for believing that Bucky would fully understand him. On, he was a little shaken.
However, this emotion did not last long. Bruce shook his head and shook the guilt out of his head. Now is not the time to be sentimental. The base has just begun to resume operation. He hasn't finished talking about Ji's "business".

Leading Bucky to the top of the base until reaching the entrance and exit of the base to the ground, after signaling the soldiers guarding the gate to open the passage, Bruce said to Bucky seriously: "Just now I told you about everything. , Bucky, to be honest, my original intention in coming to Europe was to find you and bring you home safely, but now that I have got this base, I need to consolidate my power on this land and further develop, and"

The gate of the base was slowly opened at this time, Bruce motioned for Bucky to go out with him, guarded at the gate of the base, soldiers in thick snow suits of Hydra saluted Bruce one after another, with fear in their eyes , and reverence.

"I have now decided to seize the known 'nutrients' of those Hydra sub-bases for my own use, the fighter prisoners they detain, the members of the scientific teams of their various sub-bases, and in those bases, far more than The technological machines and equipment of this era. I will build my 'empire' on this ice sheet. I didn't plan to tell you and Steve about these things at the beginning, because I was afraid that you would misunderstand, but now I want to ask You, Bucky, would you help me?"

In the wind and snow, the snow armored vehicles in the distance are slowly approaching the base. In the observation bunker covered by ice and snow around the base, the soldiers who have regained their honor as soldiers are loyally carrying out the security mission. Thinking back to what he saw inside the base, the scene of the soldiers in charge of duty and working in an orderly rotation, full of life, Bucky had to sigh in his heart, Bruce was really on this barren ice field, Take the strongest step in the journey of conquest.

"why?"

Regardless of the hair blown by the cold wind, Bucky turned his head and asked Bruce with a complicated expression.

Bruce, on the other hand, opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the ice field. He didn't mind the biting cold wind mixed with snow and ice. He looked straight ahead, as if he saw the place hidden under the Alps after going through countless winds and frosts. A steel castle, with a serious face, said: "In order to be able to live as safely as possible in this world, in order not to let any forces threaten the safety of the people I protect, and in order to survive any disasters that may be encountered in the future We can all retain our ability to defend ourselves, to fight back, and to save as many innocent lives as possible."

Bruce turned his head to look at Bucky, and said with a faint smile, "I've never had a so-called great ambition, all I want is this, to be able to stand side by side with you and Steve forever, with our strength, Guard what we want to guard."

Seemingly getting a satisfactory answer, knowing that Bruce didn't make this decision because of some "weird" ideas, Bucky let go of his mental burden, smiled and punched Bruce, "Count me in." !"

Seeing this, Bruce also smiled and touched Bucky's fist back.

Just like when they were young, they made promises every time.
