The Death Knell

Steve could only watch Deathstroke, the black and yellow figure slowly flying away.

Bucky grabbed Dr. Zola, with round glasses on his nose.

He looked at the empty robot on the ground, and then at Steve who looked depressed.

"You know him?"

Steve planned to go to the front of the train to stop the train, and then find a way to join his teammates.

"There was an unpleasant meeting before. He snatched scientists and super soldier serum from the Strategic Science Corps. But then he saved all of us in Paris. I'm a little confused about what he wanted to do and what he was doing. Who serves."

"Is it the potion that changed you from a matchstick to what you are now?"

But before Steve could answer, Dr. Zola protested: "Dr. Erskine is a German, and his research results are all products supported by Hydra. What you robbed will eventually be robbed by others." Go, this is retribution.”

"Shut up!" Bucky knocked Zola hard: "I haven't settled the debt with you for the last time you tortured me."

"Bring him back alive and let him face trial." Steve didn't agree with corporal punishment of prisoners, but if it was Bucky who was giving him a few blows to vent his anger, he could pretend he didn't see it.

"Death Knell can fly. Did he fly here and there just now?" Bucky knocked Zola casually a few times. After feeling out of breath, he brought the topic back to Death Knell.

Steve and the others had already arrived at the front of the train. After knocking the driver unconscious, he tried to destroy the power transmission and the train gradually stopped.

"Yes, he didn't have such ability the last time we met." Steve took Dr. Zola and put it on his shoulders. The two of them carefully walked off the train through the large hole in the carriage that had been opened before.

"He's very fast, right? I couldn't even see anyone at the speed he hit the enemy lines just now." Bucky walked between the railroad tracks, feeling the peace of mind of being down to earth.

"Indeed, he has been very fast and I can only see a shadow."

Steve sighed, there was nothing he could do, he might be a super soldier, but in front of this kind of power he looked no different from an ordinary person.

Bucky motioned Steve to look in the distance, into the gray sky: "If he can fly and is fast, then I think he is deliberately letting us see his back."

It turned out that the death knell was still flying slowly in the sky with its back to them, just like in slow motion.

It's true that it's getting further and further away, but it's so slow that it's still visible after half a day.

The fine snowflakes rising from the surrounding mountaintops were blown by the wind to form various white mists. The back of the death knell seemed to have grown taller in this solemn atmosphere.

Steve: "...don't look at it, you'll get sick, and leave quickly."

He and Bucky lowered their heads and hurried away.

At the same time, under the railway bridge, there was a team of Leviathan agents hiding in the snow. They looked at the figures floating in the air and did not dare to move at all.

It seems as if someone from the sky has discovered him, and he is going to die, die, die...

But they had a vague feeling that they and others seemed to have missed something important.

.............................

When the two of them reunited with the Howling Commandos and finally returned to the SSR frontline sub-base after all the hardships, they found that only ordinary staff greeted them.

Steve handed Dr. Zola to the military police for detention, and at the same time looked around for the figure that moved his heart.

"Where is Agent Carter?"

The military police shrugged and put handcuffs on Dr. Zola: "She should still be with Colonel Philip and the others. We don't know exactly what they are doing."

"Thank you." Steve nodded, turned around and asked Bucky: "What are you going to do?"

At this time, Bucky was arming himself with other comrades, preparing to drink.

When Mr. Wilson arrived, he gave him and Steve a lot of pocket money, which he accepted without hesitation.

Anyway, I ate a lot of food from Wilson Enterprises when I was a child. My husband would take them out to play and have a big meal almost every month.

At first, I was embarrassed because I felt I shouldn't always eat from other people.

But the cunning Mr. Wilson always changes his tricks to tempt them, including new flavors of ice cream, new toy cars, and new styles of clothes.

Later, Steve and Bucky gradually got used to it. They kept their husband's kindness in mind and no longer resisted accepting small gifts and pocket money.

Although it has not been officially confirmed, in a sense, Su Ming actually plays the role of the godfather of the two.

Now that Bucky was rich again, and this time he almost died, he naturally wanted to have a good drink, and then see if he could hook up with a girl and relax.

"I'm not you, Man of Steel. I'm going to have fun. Are you coming?"

Bucky patted Dugan's round hat casually and said with a smile on his face, but for some reason, he was still wearing Dr. Zola's glasses, as if he regarded them as trophies.

Steve knew that Bucky would go pick up girls. He shook his head and took out a few dollars: "No, I'm going to go to Colonel Philip to report on the operation. You go first. I'll take the first round. See you at the bar later." .”

Bucky's expression seemed to say that he had seen through everything. He took the money and showed a sly smile: "Are you going to 'report' to Agent Carter? Are you sure you want to come to the bar to find us? Then you are too quick. "

"Hahaha..." Several members of the Howling Commando team also cheered and laughed knowingly.

Steve angrily tried to hit them with his shield, but he just pushed Bucky's chest lightly with his other hand: "Get out of here, we are not what you think."

Bucky took the others and walked away. As he walked, he told the people around him about the past: "Steve is still a virgin. Are you surprised? Let me tell you, once..."

Steve looked up to the sky and sighed helplessly, as if he had experienced life and death... No, after putting on the glasses, Bucky seemed to become more talkative.

Illusion?

He searched for Peggy's figure in the underground fortifications, and finally saw several people next to a test bench in Howard's experimental area.

Colonel Philip, Peggy, Howard, and Mr. Wilson were sitting around a table, not knowing what they were doing. There were many people looking around with their heads raised.

"Colonel, the Howling Commandos are back!"

Steve walked to the table, raised his hand in salute, and saw that the colonel didn't seem to notice him, and was looking at the small squares on the table attentively.

"Ah, you're back? Okay, write an action report and you can rest... 20,000."

"Hu! All colors! Chapter 24, pay me quickly!"

Howard pushed down the small squares in front of him, picked up the squares thrown by the colonel and put them into his own pile of squares, and stretched out his hand to the colonel with a smile.

The colonel made a tsk sound in his mouth, counted out a few dollars and threw them to Howard angrily, and then stared at Steve hard.

It's all his fault for playing the wrong cards.

In fact, the colonel was opposed to playing mahjong in the military camp at first, but neither Howard nor Slade could control it.

The two took Agent Carter to play mahjong together, and because of Lorraine's departure, Peggy's task of receiving the consultants now fell on her.

Strictly speaking, she was performing a mission by accompanying him to play mahjong.

However, listening to the sound of playing cards over there, and Howard laughing excitedly from time to time, the colonel finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and watched a few games.

The result was that, at some point, when he came to his senses, he was already sitting at the table, sorting out the cards.

Now that we're all seated, how about two laps?

Then they fought all day and night...

Now a few days have passed, the three people except Su Ming all have sunken eye sockets, and the empty instant noodle bucket at the corner of the table is filled with cigarette butts.

Su Ming pushed the cards and sighed. He was also playing big cards.

But Howard was so lucky that he could do anything. The colonel's stinky hands seemed to be specially designed for firing muskets.

"Okay, Colonel Philip, that's it for today. Steve seems to have something serious to do."

Su Ming stood up and moved his shoulders. Sitting all the time was quite boring.

Paige also stood up from the table and shook her head. She seemed a little dizzy and had played for too long without realizing it.

The colonel didn't fight when he saw them, and he couldn't play anymore. He could only say harsh words to Howard, saying that he would make back the money he lost to him next time, and then left with Steve.

Howard carefully put the mahjong into the box and showed a proud smile, his mustache rising up and down.

He was very grateful to Slade for teaching him such an interesting game, which was much more fun than poker.

He looked at the banknotes in his hand. Although usually, he would be too lazy to bend down to pick up this small amount of money if it fell on the ground, but it felt completely different to win it from others.

"Go back to the dormitory and go to sleep. When you wake up, we can continue the fight with the colonel."

What kind of woman are you looking for? He would never see those little nurses again until they learned how to play mahjong!

"It's so fun to play mahjong."

Howard expressed his heartfelt emotion.

Su Ming also nodded with a smile. He helped Howard find the real joy of life, and suddenly felt that the red scarf on his chest became more vivid.

.............................

The Allies finally survived this cold winter, and the war in the Ardennes region ended with the German retreat, and the Maozi's offensive in the east became increasingly fierce.

In 1945, Berlin's mustaches were making frequent mistakes, and even Howard could tell that the German army was almost done.

But he had to put down his beloved mahjong and return to China to participate in a national secret project.

Codenamed the Manhattan Project, the purpose was to build a big bomb. This should have been kept secret, but he told Su Ming directly from his big mouth...

Before leaving, he told Su Ming that he had bought a building in New York and named it Stark Mahjong House, and asked Su Ming to wait for him there.

Doesn't the big bomb that the country wants produce a chain reaction of atomic fission? What's the big deal? He can make it in minutes.

After defeating the Germans and Japs, let's all have fun playing cards together!

But Su Ming didn't leave, he still had one last step to work on.

That is to obtain the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, give it to Ancient One to study, and at the same time save Steve.

Want to sleep under the Arctic ice?

No way, get up quickly and go and shoot an advertisement for Wilson Enterprises honestly!
