Bucky was in good condition at this time.
Although Cytorak was defeated by Baal and the relationship between soul and will was absorbed by the Burning Hell.
The power of the red tank lacks a being who can truly dominate these forces.
But correspondingly, Bucky can have a deeper grasp of his own power.
This is undoubtedly good news, but Bucky won't be able to touch it to that extent in a short time.
However, the upper limit for him to continue to become stronger has been opened. If he is given time to grow, Bucky may not be able to become another being like the Lord of the Crimson Universe.
Although this is not yet doomed, at least the power of the red tank can continue to increase.
As the current Captain America, any increase in Bucky's power would be a great thing.
At least SHIELD needs this power to face possible troubles.
As Nick Fury said, their jobs do not come with the power of choice!
When mankind encounters a huge crisis, they have to fight on the front line even if they are powerless.
The more strength you have, the more possibilities you have!
Now Bucky is jogging on the street.
This has been a habit of his during this period.
Although the panting guy next to him had been tricked by Bucky countless times.
But fortunately, Bucky didn't have the habit of running up to others and talking.
"Hey guy!
Who are you?
Although I know there are many people in this world who are beyond the scope of human beings.
But you look particularly strange.
By the way, my name is Sam Wilson, a not-so-old veteran. "
Sam Wilson greets Bucky.
Indeed, the world has gradually become accustomed to otherworldly existences.
But not every extraordinary person will be known to everyone.
“I think if it was Rodgers running here, you’d probably recognize him.
Although I have now taken over the responsibilities of Captain America, it seems that I have never even performed a decent performance. "
Bucky said with a wry smile.
Although for Steve, appearing on stage as Captain America was a somewhat awkward experience.
But that experience at least made his appearance and existence familiar to most people.
Although Bucky has been performing some dangerous missions during this period, he is still somewhat unfamiliar to the public.
"You mean Captain America Steve Rogers?"
Sam Wilson asked.
“Sure enough, I said you all know him.
By the way, my name is Bucky Barnes, now Captain America.
Although not many people may know this news. "
Bucky said.
It's not that he's jealous of Steve, he's not that petty.
It’s just that when you call a stranger a friend, you must at least have a common topic.
For a soldier, Captain America is definitely a good topic.
Of course, there are also some club topics that are acceptable, but they are somewhat unusual topics.
“I know you, one of the Howling Commandos.
I really don’t know about you becoming Captain America.
What happened to Steve? Are you retired? "
Sam Wilson asked.
Steve can be said to be very successful as Captain America.
Even when mentioning Captain America, most people will hear Steve's name.
There is no reason for such a person to retire easily.
As for the possibility that Steve died in the battle with the devil, generally no one would speculate.
Unless those people have ulterior motives or have some weird conspiracy theories.
Such people are not uncommon in this country, and they are even impossible to convince.
“He just had a new identity, so I stepped into this position.
But don't worry, I'm much better than Steve when he first became Captain America.
I believe I can protect everyone. "
Bucky said very firmly.
It is true that Bucky, who has gained the power of the red tank, is much stronger than Steve at the beginning.
Although Steve always said that he could play with others all day long, there were some gaps that just couldn't be bridged through willpower.
And things like willpower are indeed not easy to measure.
Who says villains have to have less willpower than heroes?
As veterans who have experienced war, they are sure that the enemy's willpower is not much less than theirs.
"Ha, this is good news.
So my morning exercise is over. Do you want to have breakfast together? "
Sam Wilson invited.
Bucky smiled.
"Of course, then I'll treat you to lunch."
Bucky responded.
Perhaps because both of them had the experience of joining the army, their relationship developed a lot in a short period of time.
"By the way, did you drive here?
I live nearby so I don't drive. "
Bucky said.
"Of course, let's go then."
Sam Wilson walked ahead.
Bucky gave a warning look not far away!
The people over there are undoubtedly S.H.I.E.L.D.
Bucky worked as a soldier and as a killing weapon for Hydra.
His perception is certainly first rate.
He is not the red tank from Cainmark who lost almost all awe after gaining power.
When Bucky got this power, he already knew a lot of very powerful guys.
Even with the power of Red Tank, he is not unstoppable.
Therefore, it is natural not to develop that arrogant and arrogant style.
The SHIELD people were staring at him not intending to take any action against him, and Bucky himself knew this very well.
But he doesn't want his normal life to be monitored by SHIELD.
This stuff sounds necessary, and it sounds necessary for Nick Fury.
But it was a very bad experience for Bucky himself.
Although he thought his new friend might not be a simple retired soldier.
But he still didn't want his new friend to be investigated by SHIELD because of himself.
Bucky believed that the agent following him would understand.
Even if you don't understand what he means, Nick Fury will understand when the report about his actions at this time appears on Nick Fury's desk.
By the time Bucky and Sam Wilson were sitting at a burger joint, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had left.
Bucky knew that it wasn't that SHIELD had given up, but that it had turned to a more covert approach.
At least at this time, a well-run burger restaurant shouldn't have only two customers: him and Sam Wilson.
"Okay, now I completely believe you are Captain America.
In this country, even the guy in the white house would not be taken seriously. "
Sam Wilson said with a grimace.
"I'm sorry you had to experience this, but you know, sometimes our opinions don't matter."
Bucky said with a wry smile.
“Based on the general situation, the way the secret service handles this place is so conspicuous.
That means you plan to meet me directly.
After all, if they wanted to, they could have a group of agents pretend to be guests here.
But the place was empty, even the waiters were gone. "
Sam Wilson turned his head and looked in the direction where the meal was being served.
Now the only place where this burger restaurant can hide people is over there.
"Mr. Sam Wilson, I'm sorry that we have to meet you in this way.
But please believe that your meeting with the captain was not arranged by us.
But you have already entered our sight before today. ”①
An agent with a slightly higher hairline pushed open the door of the burger shop and walked in and said.
Sam Wilson and Bucky reluctantly turned their gaze back to the kitchen.
Apparently they both guessed the direction in which the other party appeared.
"Colson, you withdrew from the mission on Khanduras?"
Bucky greeted somewhat unexpectedly.
The person who came was naturally the very friendly Colson.
Although Coulson caused a lot of trouble when he was Lord Skyhammer before.
But now he has undoubtedly regained SHIELD's trust.
Although no one knows the extent of this trust, at least Coulson can work normally again.
"Yes, Khanduras is screening paladins or something.
The fastball guy was selected directly, but I refused to participate in that screening. "
Coulson and Bucky explained.
Fastball can now be said to admire Prince Aidan very much.
Especially after learning about Prince Aidan's great achievements from the stories passed down by word of mouth, Kuaiqiu regarded Aidan as his idol.
After initial training with S.H.I.E.L.D. and a lot of experience in Canduras, Fastball still has the high spirits of a teenager.
But it is also much calmer than at the beginning.
At least he is now an adult who knows what he needs and can execute it well.
"Um, so whether I see Bucky today or not, I will still meet you here?"
Sam Wilson asked helplessly.
"That's right.
Mr. Wilson, you are the only one in the Falcon program that you were a part of that has experience with that equipment.
Now is the time for humanity to come together, and we need your strength. "
Coulson said very sincerely.
Sam Wilson, or Falcon.
It's not like he never thought about appearing on the battlefield to fight demons.
But without the aircraft produced by the Falcon Project, his strength is not much stronger than an elite soldier.
In addition, he has retired, so he has not appeared on the frontal battlefield before.
The information about him was only remembered after S.H.I.E.L.D. internally screened the list of special characters.
"This sounds good. After all, fighting for humanity is at least more noble than fighting for oil."
Falcon pouted.
In fact, many of these soldiers joined the army just for the benefits.
Although there are also many who have good beliefs.
But what is the reality? This kind of thing can only be said to be understood...
"Then it's an accident that I appear here, right?"
Bucky asked.
He didn't really like this way of meeting.
But I'm not particularly sensitive to it either.
The situation of humans is not very good, at least the gunshots during this period are much more frequent than before.
"Yes, Captain.
Director Nick Fury has just woken up. Maybe you will receive some orders soon.
SHIELD is really short of manpower right now.
And the director now seems to have plans to reorganize the Howling Commandos. "
Coulson said.
Of course, these words were not what he told Bucky on the spur of the moment.
But it's obvious that he had already thought about it from the beginning!
Nick Fury searched for candidates like Falcon, of course, in order to reorganize the Howling Commandos around Bucky, the new Captain America.
"The werewolf and mummy seemed to have died before, right?"
Bucky looked a little reminiscing.
"Yes, they died in the war with the last group.
But the Howling Commandos were not declassified. "
Coulson said.
“I need some time to think about this.
Or give you some time to convince me. "
Bucky said thoughtfully.
He noticed something strange in it, but he didn't think he could figure it out for a short time.
This time gives SHIELD to convince Sam Wilson, the Falcon, and also gives him time to find someone to ask.
Steve Rogers is not dead, he is just active on a more difficult battlefield as a Crusader!
Maybe Steve also knows something about the recruitment and training of Paladins by Kanduras that Colson mentioned before.
After all, there doesn't seem to be much difference between Paladins and Crusaders.
"OK.
Before evacuating the place, I asked their kitchen to prepare breakfast.
If the agent who did this had planned strictly to leave room for leeway, then there should have been breakfast for four in the kitchen. "
Colson walked to the back kitchen with a gentle smile.
Then he walked out with a large tray.
“As luck would have it, he seemed to have arranged breakfast for five.
I might choose to keep the agent who did this with me for a while when I get back. "
Coulson joked and placed the tray in his hand on the table.
There are common foods like burgers and sandwiches on it.
"When you showed up, I forgot we were here for breakfast."
Bucky complained.
He is not at work right now.
“I think this meal is the agent’s treat.
Then after eating the lunch you invited me, captain, I'll treat you to dinner. "
Falcon said a little embarrassed.
There were too many surprises in this encounter.
So the atmosphere is a bit strange from beginning to end.
But this situation doesn’t seem to be so suitable for making friends.
"I'll contact Steve later. If he's not busy over there, I'll introduce you to him."
Bucky smiled.
Steve is the idol that all American soldiers love.
Although Bucky feels that he is worthy of the identity of Captain America, others may not necessarily view Captain and Steve separately.
"That's great, but when did the members of the Howling Commandos die?
This is big news. "
Falcon asked.
If Bucky hadn't mentioned this before, he would never have asked.
After all, these teams have more or less confidentiality requirements.
But Bucky and Carlson didn't hesitate at all to discuss this matter in front of him, so there shouldn't be any need to take it too seriously.
“Last time I was in London.
That incident was covered in full by the London side.
But our ratings here may not be as high as those of Oprah’s talk show. "
Coulson explained a little bit.
During the Great War in London, the whole world was paying attention.
But in a country that entertains itself to death, it’s not surprising that many people don’t know.
"I remember, it's about those XX remnants, right?
We also found some zombies. "
Falcon said.
Obviously, he is not a guy who only watches entertainment shows after being discharged from the army.
At least the self-discipline of a soldier is still well preserved in his character.
①Falcon chose the image in the movie. It's a little late to write about Falcon in terms of its comics origins. In the comics, he appeared a little too early.
The Falcon in the comics has the superpower to communicate with birds, and is also related to the Cosmic Cube.
Moreover, he was a criminal before he became a hero, and he is also one of the unpopular ones among the Avengers. After quitting the Avengers, he was wanted many times...
His comic story is not very exciting, it can even be said to be a bit awkward.
