Steve had just lifted Steel Bridge a little when Bucky seized the chance to crawl out.
After crawling free, Bucky panted heavily and looked at Steve.
"You know me!"
"But I don't know you!"
As he spoke, he punched Steve and sent him flying.
At that moment, Helicarrier C slammed into the newly rebuilt Triskelion, wrecking it all over again.
Nick Fury, piloting the helicopter, looked at the scene before him and could not help sighing.
"Destroyed again. It hasn't even been a year since it was rebuilt..."
Natasha glanced at the Triskelion headquarters. Last time it had been destroyed by the Sound Ninja, and this time by the Helicarrier they had built themselves. The feng shui here really was bad. Most likely, there would be no chance for a third rebuild.
At the same time, she thought, Looks like I need to consider finding myself a new place to land.
Steve stood up, somewhat out of breath. The fighting today had taken no small toll on him.
Looking at Bucky in front of him, Steve said, "Bucky, you've known me since we were kids."
But what greeted him was not Bucky recognizing him. Instead, Bucky swung his mechanical arm and punched Steve again, smashing him to the side.
Steve kept talking, refusing to give up.
"Your name is James Buchanan Barnes."
"Shut up!"
Bucky shouted, then punched Steve to the ground again.
Steve got to his feet, took off his helmet, and looked at Bucky.
"I'm not going to fight you."
As he spoke, he threw his shield down. The shield fell straight out through the shattered glass window beneath his feet.
As Steve saw it, the mission to destroy Hydra's conspiracy was already complete. The most important thing now was to wake up his best friend, Bucky.
