Steve's Plea for Help
For Steve at this moment, it didn't matter why Bucky had become so powerful; what mattered was how to control Bucky and then find a way to bring Bucky back to consciousness!
The problem is that Steve doesn't have the ability to control Bucky right now, because without his shield, it's already quite difficult for Steve to block Bucky's attacks.
Unfortunately, if Steve still had the Pig Talisman, he could have easily defeated Bucky. However, after losing the Pig Talisman, Steve didn't undergo a direct mutation like Barry Allen and the others, nor did he complete a preliminary mutation like Johnny Storm. He remained the same...
Steve could only forcefully activate the passive mode of a 50/50 matchup by relying on his tenacious will and deep love for Bucky, thus maintaining the stalemate with Bucky.
Fortunately, Steve wasn't fighting alone. Last time, during the Pig Talisman incident, Steve didn't call for backup because he didn't know the situation of Robet and the other Animal Warriors. But this time, facing Bucky, his most important brother, Steve didn't hesitate to call for backup!
Keep in mind, this is London, Peggy Carter's sphere of influence. Countless agents are secretly waiting for Peggy Carter and Steve's orders, silently protecting them.
Otherwise, Steve and Peggy Carter wouldn't have chosen to live in anonymity here, enjoying their retirement, and Steve wouldn't have dared to hold an art exhibition without fear of exposure...
As Steve called for backup, the hidden agents sprang into action. In terms of pure strength, they were no match for Steve and Bucky, but they had the advantage in equipment and numbers. In addition, Bucky himself was tied down by Steve, so dealing with him was not too troublesome.
In fact, if Steve hadn't given these agents a prior order not to use lethal weapons, Bucky would have been seriously injured, if not killed...
Ultimately, with the help of a group of agents, Steve successfully captured Bucky. Steve originally planned to take Bucky home, but after considering Bucky's strength, he felt that if he took Bucky home, Bucky would probably continue to cause trouble after waking up, and it wouldn't be good if he destroyed the house and angered Peggy Carter.
So Steve took Bucky to one of the agents' bases, where they could observe Bucky's condition and see if they could help Bucky recover.
"Captain..." After a thorough examination by the base's experts, they quickly concluded, "Mr. Barnes has likely been brainwashed and controlled. Furthermore, Mr. Barnes's body is abnormal, suggesting it has been modified, and his cells show signs of being frozen..."
"Brainwashing? Is there a way to reverse it?" Steve had some knowledge of this technology. He frowned and looked at the experts, asking.
"It's not that easy..." The experts exchanged glances, shook their heads helplessly, and said softly, "Judging from Mr. Barnes ' condition, he has likely been brainwashed for many years. It won't be simple to restore him in a short time..."
"Furthermore, we suspect we found a signal source within Mr. Barnes ' metal arm. Although we have now blocked the signal source, we cannot guarantee that the other party did not receive Mr. Barnes ' location data beforehand..."
"Can't we just remove his metal arm?" Steve asked, looking at Bucky, who was still unconscious.
"It's difficult. We don't have any experts in this field, and the technology behind this metal arm is far more advanced than we know. Even if we find specialists, it won't be easy to dismantle the metal arm in a short time!" The experts shook their heads helplessly and said in a low voice.
"So, what's the best way to handle this now?" Steve asked after a moment of silence.
"My suggestion is to keep Mr. Barnes in a slumber for now, and then transfer Barnes using covert methods to prevent him from being tracked here..." The experts exchanged glances and gave a unified recommendation.
"We can abandon this base; after all, it doesn't hold much secret or value. But it's too dangerous for you to stay here, Captain..."
"We'll wait for them here! If they dare to come, I'll fight!" A cold glint flashed in Steve's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "I also want to see who dares to tamper with Bucky and control Bucky to the point of wishing he were dead!"
"But Captain..." A hint of hesitation flashed in the experts' eyes. They had already seen the footage of Bucky's capture, and they felt that if the enemy sent a large number of soldiers like Bucky, their base would have a hard time defending against the offensive. After all, apart from Steve, the individual combat capabilities of the others here were simply too poor...
"Wake Bucky up, I'm going to try to communicate with him!" After making his decision, Steve looked in Bucky's direction and said solemnly.
"Yes, Captain!" The experts exchanged a helpless glance, but did not object to Steve's order. Instead, they quickly woke Bucky up.
"Let me go!" Bucky woke up, but not fully. He was still brainwashed and in a ruthless, taciturn state. He struggled desperately, but his body was completely restrained and he had no way to break free. So he roared in a deep voice.
"Bucky, do you still remember me?" Steve walked to Bucky's side, gazing at Bucky intently as he asked, "Do you remember fighting together, playing together, watching movies together, and so on..."
As Steve slowly recounted their shared experiences, Bucky gradually calmed down. A memory, or rather, another personality, was reawakening within him.
Because Bucky was brainwashed for so long, Bucky developed a personality specifically for carrying out orders, suppressing the original Bucky personality. This personality has a special name: the Winter Soldier.
"Steve ...no! Get away from me, I'll lose control..." Bucky's main personality gradually recovered a little, but was quickly brought back under control, his voice becoming increasingly violent, "Let me go! Or I'll kill you all!"
"Sigh!" Steve sighed heavily as he watched Bucky lose control again, then fell into deep thought, pondering a way to bring Bucky back to his senses.
"Talisman!" Suddenly, Steve remembered the incident with the Pig Talisman. Although the Pig Talisman didn't actually have that ability, the various abilities that Robet and the others displayed still impressed Steve.
With this in mind, Steve quickly contacted Jackie Chan, and then through Jackie Chan, he contacted Robert, who had just returned from a vacation with his family and was wondering if Clark becoming Superman would lead to the appearance of a powerful Robet...
