"He will kill you." Steve almost shouted, "Bucky! Do you know what this means?! Tony will tear you into pieces!"
"Then let him kill!"
Bucky also shouted back.
"That's what I owe him! Steve! It was me who killed his parents! It was me who made him an orphan!"
"I did those things! The blood is on my hands! It can't be washed away!"
"Isn't it for redemption? This is redemption!"
Bucky pointed at his chest.
"One life is worth one life. That's fair."
"No! That's not fair!"
Steve rushed up, grabbed Bucky by the collar, and pushed him hard against the freezing cabin.
"That was done by Hydra! Not you!!"
Steve stared into Bucky's eyes, their faces were very close at hand.
"You were brainwashed! You had no self at the time, you were just a tool! If you want to atone for your sins, let's kill Hydra and kill them all! Instead of letting you die!"
"Steve, stop fooling yourself."
Bucky sat on the ground leaning against the freezing chamber.
"I can't escape it. As long as I'm alive, this will be a dead end."
"I want to end this. I died seventy years ago."
Steve looked at the decadent Bucky, and his heart was as sharp as a knife.
Fate is like a vicious screenwriter, forcing them to a dead end.
If he hands Bucky to Tony, Tony will definitely take revenge. He cannot guarantee whether Tony will listen to this "brainwashed" explanation.
And he will lose his only past in this world.
"No."
Steve walked over and extended his hand to Bucky.
"It's not over yet, Bucky. As long as I don't agree, it's not over yet."
"I have lost Peggy and everything that belonged to that era."
"Now, it's just you."
"I can't lose you again. Even if it's for me, you have to live."
Bucky raised his head and looked at that hand.
"But... what should Stark do?" Bucky asked, "Cheating is the second harm to him."
Steve pulled Bucky up.
"Let's find someone to help."
Steve The man wearing Stars and Stripes Cape and always wearing a confident smile on his face came to mind.
"Homelander."
He said the name.
"He always solves problems, no matter how big they are."
"Let's go find him." Steve unplugged the decoder, removed the hard drive, and put it in his pocket.
"Tell him everything, no reservations."
"If there is anyone else in this world who can protect you from this Stormfront..."
"He's the only one."
Bucky was silent for a moment and glanced at Steve's firm eyes.
"You trust him?"
"Yes." Steve nodded, "He is the person I trust most in this era."
"Okay."
Bucky Pick up the rifle on the ground.
"Then let's go."
In the V. G. D. General Office, Natasha frowned slightly and was explaining what happened to Homelander.
"... This is the situation. Lorelei has controlled Tony, Banner and Barton. Now the entire Avengers Tower has been completely blocked by Stark Industries's defense system."
"All external channels have been cut off. Any unauthorized creature approaching will be hit with indiscriminate firepower."
"And it's not just about firepower."
Natasha raised his head, his eyes filled with deep worry.
"Avengers Tower is located in the most prosperous area of Manhattan. There are hundreds of thousands of people around."
"If we attack...Tony will definitely activate Iron Legion, and the most terrifying thing is Banner."
Natasha paused and his voice became deeper.
"I have a feeling that Hulk is in an extremely unstable state now. Lorelei's magic did not completely suppress him, but instead put him at... the critical point of being irritated."
"Once the war starts, if Hulk loses control, he will dismantle half of New York."
"We can't take the risk."
Homelander listened to Natasha's report and nodded slightly.
"It makes sense." He turned his head and looked at Thor.
"Then, Your Highness Thor."
"Since that is your old acquaintance. What do you think?"
Thor reached out and took out a golden necklace from the magic space.
"This is Magic-Sealing Collar." He raised the thing in his hand, "Odin used this to seal her voice back then. As long as it is put around Lorelei's neck, her charm witchcraft will be ineffective instantly."
"At that time, Tony they will wake up."
"It sounds very simple, just like putting a collar on a dog." Homelander pointed out the loophole calmly, "The problem is how to put it on."
"Lorelei has Iron Legion as his bodyguard, Hawkeye as Sentinel, and Hulk as his bodyguard."
Natasha sighed, "That's the problem. We need to subdue Lorelei instantly without triggering a full-scale war."
"Two options." She raised two fingers.
"First, lead her out and find a place where no one is around. That way we can let go."
"Bring it out?" Homelander raised his eyebrows and turned to Thor with a teasing gaze, "This sounds like a good plan. Thor, since she is your old sweetheart, why don't you sacrifice your appearance?"
Thor's head instantly shook like a rattle, and her blond hair flew everywhere.
"No! Absolutely not!"
Thor had a look of rejection, like a boar about to be bred.
"Let me say it again, that was a mistake six hundred years ago! I am now a god with a family!" He gestured and spoke quickly, "Also, Lorelei hates me. If I show up, it will only make her even more crazy and order Tony and Banner to attack me!"
"Then the only option is the second option." Natasha sighed, "We need someone who can rush into the palace before everyone reacts, and put that collar around that damn Bichi's neck."
Natasha's eyes naturally fell on Homelander.
"Miss Romanoff, although I also want to go. But my appearance... usually makes a lot of noise."
Homelander stood up and walked to the window.
"My speed is based on the rules of physics."
He stretched out a finger and lightly scratched the glass.
"Yes, I have a Biological Force Field."
Homelander turned around and drew an outline.
"You know... it's the Superman comic. The guy wearing underwear. In the comic, his Biological Force Field can wrap up the people and objects he wants to protect, allowing him to catch a falling plane without letting the plane disintegrate."
"But the reality is..."
Homelander shrugged and spread his hands with some regret.
"... My force field is very small. It can only wrap my head tightly."
"Fortunately, when I break the sound barrier, that little bit of Biological Force Field can absorb and guide most of the air molecules, disperse the sound wave energy generated by supersonic flight, and transform the violent sonic boom into a softer 'sound pop'."
"However, in a closed space, that kind of instantaneous pressure change is still fatal to ordinary people."
Homelander turned around and made an explosive gesture.
"If I sprinted at full speed in Avengers Tower, the glass there would shatter in an instant, and ordinary people present would have their eardrums perforated, and in severe cases, their internal organs would even rupture."
"So..." Homelander looked at the door, "... we need someone with another kind of talent. This person is unique."
"Yes, it's me!"
