To avoid overusing her power now and damaging her Spiritual Root, making it impossible for her to attain the Great Dao in the future, Stephanie decided not to use her gravity-manipulation ability for the time being.
As the battle paused, Captain America's tightly wound nerves also relaxed. It suddenly occurred to him that this fight seemed rather inexplicable. First of all, he did not seem to have any deep-seated grudge against this woman. And when it came to opposing Hydra, she seemed to be on the same side as him.
The moment she saw Bucky, she had tried to kill him. That was probably because Bucky was the Winter Soldier, Hydra's elite assassin, and she wanted to eliminate the roots. In that regard... she did not seem to be wrong either. If they asked everyone in the world one by one, aside from himself and Hydra members, they would probably all think the Winter Soldier was better off dead.
Of course, he could not just stand by and let that happen, so he had protected Bucky, and that was how they had started fighting. Their larger goal was the same, but they differed on some minor details. This was practically allies fighting allies. Besides, judging from how teasing she had been toward Bucky, they probably did not have some blood feud involving their parents. Could this not be resolved through negotiation? This fight really feels ridiculously unjustified!
But what right did Captain America have to feel wronged? The most wronged person was right beside him! Melinda felt so wronged that June snow was practically about to fall!
*I clearly came here to save S.H.I.E.L.D. and wipe out Hydra. Now that S.H.I.E.L.D. can't be saved, then fine, I'll just wipe out Hydra. What does this pile of bullshit have to do
