Captain, Your Ex-Boyfriend?
When Xia Yu and Hawkeye arrived at the scene, Tony, Captain, and Bucky were standing in a triangle. Captain had just finished calling out to Bucky with deep emotion.
"I'm not Bucky." A hint of doubt flashed across the Winter Soldier's face.
Tony shrugged as Xia Yu and Hawkeye arrived and said, "It seems the Captain ran into his ex-boyfriend, but it looks like he doesn't love him anymore."
"Shut up, Iron Man!" The Winter Soldier lunged at Tony.
"Bucky, stop! Listen to me!" The Captain quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"I told you I'm not Bucky!" the Winter Soldier roared as he attacked both Captain and Tony.
"Captain, are you sure you haven't mistaken him for someone else? He says he's not your ex-boyfriend," Tony teased the two of them as he fought.
"That's Bucky, Tony. I can't mistake him," the Captain insisted.
"I told you I didn't!" the Winter Soldier roared again.
"Pfft!"
Xia Yu opened two cans of beer and clinked them together with Hawkeye. "It's best if we don't get involved in this love triangle, Clint, what do you say?"
"I have to say, the relationship is complicated. Look at the Captain, he seems to not want either of them to get hurt. Oh my god, he's defending against attacks from both sides," Hawkeye said, taking a sip of beer.
As expected, these three were destined for a major showdown. Xia Yu, as a bystander, declared that he would definitely put a few watermelons in his Space Ring from now on.
"Xia, stop them quickly! The police are on their way. We can't let Sitwell and Barnes be taken away by the police. You need to finish this quickly." Peggy Carter's voice came through the earpiece.
Xia Yu downed his beer in one gulp and said to Hawkeye, "That's it for the day."
"Guys, I really don't want to get involved in your relationship troubles, but the Captain's girlfriend gave the order, so I'm sorry." Xia Yu said, pulling Tony out first.
Then he kicked the Captain's shield, sending the Captain flying, and just in time caught the Winter Soldier's powerful punch with his right hand.
"This thing is of good quality, but it's a bit weak." Xia Yu easily grasped the Winter Soldier's Iron Fist with his right hand, and with a slight exertion, the Winter Soldier's body was pulled to the left by the metal arm.
Xia Yu was too strong; if his body didn't keep up, the entire metal arm would be twisted into a pretzel by Xia Yu.
"Bang!"
Xia Yu delivered a left punch to the Winter Soldier's forehead, knocking him to the ground instantly.
"Don't worry, Captain, he just passed out. I won't kill your ex-boyfriend," Xia Yu said, seeing the worry in his Captain's eyes.
"Xia, he's my friend, Bucky is..."
The Captain was interrupted by Xia Yu raising his hand halfway through his sentence, "We can talk about it downstairs later. You and Tony wait here for the police; they'll be here soon. Clint and I will take them downstairs first."
"Clint, you take your former colleagues, I'll take the Captain's ex-boyfriend, let's go." Xia Yu said, pointing to the bald agent on the ground.
This bald Sitwell agent not only drugged Loki with stimulants on the Helicarrier, but also released Banner amidst the chaos. It was later confirmed that he was controlled by Loki with his Scepter, but this also confirmed his identity Hydra.
However, after being imprisoned, he and Brock Rumlow both disappeared. Unexpectedly, they reappeared tonight and even led a team to the Avengers Compound.
As soon as the two stepped down, Peggy Carter came up to them, looking at the Winter Soldier and muttering to herself, "It really is Barnes. He's still alive."
Xia Yu joked, "Do you need me to kill him for you, Peggy? As a friend, I still think you and the Captain are a good match."
Peggy Carter rolled her eyes at Xia Yu and said, "Bucky Barnes is Steve's childhood friend and a member of the Howling Commandos. During a mission to snipe Hydra, he fell off a train and off a cliff. He's very important to Steve. You know, Steve was very weak before joining the Super-Soldier Program, and Barnes was always by his side."
Xia Yu feigned surprise and said, "So, now you're the third party, right?"
"God, your mouth is more annoying than Stark's. I'm getting down to business. Xia, Barnes' current appearance should be the Winter Soldier from the intelligence agencies. There have been rumors about him ever since I took over S.H.I.E.L.D.., but no one has ever seen him in person. All we know is that he has a metal arm, is very strong, and is very fast," Peggy Carter explained.
"I've also heard of the Winter Soldier. He's been involved in numerous kidnappings and assassinations over the past fifty years, but no one has been able to track him down. I never imagined he was a friend of the Captain," Natasha added.
"Alright then, let's find something to restrain this guy first, otherwise it'll be troublesome if he wakes up. Let's ask him when the Captain comes back. You and Hawkeye are in charge of that bald guy, honey." Xia Yu pointed to Agent Sitwell, who had been brought back by Hawkeye.
Captain and Tony are upstairs dealing with the police and reporters. Nick Fury has been sent to a room to rest by Natasha, so we'll just have to interrogate Baldy first. As for Bucky, Xia Yu doesn't dare touch him until Captain returns; he doesn't want to be stared at by Captain's resentful eyes.
"The operation failed. I'm sure Nick Fury is still alive. Damn the Avengers, you better find Sitwell and the Winter Soldier right now. It's not a big deal if they're dead, but it's a huge problem if they fall into the hands of the Avengers." Alexander Pierce hung up the phone. On the television in front of him, Tony was standing beside the ruins of the Avengers Compound, talking animatedly to reporters.
"I strongly protest to the government. This is absolutely a terrorist attack. Why was I attacked by Missiles in New York? Have I returned to Afghanistan? The government must find the mastermind behind this quickly, or I will take our own measures. And to the insurance companies, you've suffered huge losses this time..."
