During World War II, before Bucky became the Winter Soldier, he was the most outstanding soldier in the selection camp.
At that time, he was not only Captain America's only friend in the military camp but also repeatedly encouraged the scrawny Captain America not to give up on his dreams.
Therefore, for Captain America, Bucky was not only his good friend during World War II but also a pillar of his spirit.
Under these circumstances, Captain America was willing to pay any price to "awaken" the Bucky he once knew.
However, the fact that Bucky killed Tony's parents was undeniable, even if he had been brainwashed by Hydra at the time.
It could not negate the "sins" he had committed.
Thus, the hatred between him and Tony was already predestined.
This man, who was connected to both Captain America and Tony, became Baron Zemo's best creation for avenging the Avengers.
His goal was to sow discord among the Avengers members.
It could be said that to take revenge on the Avengers, Baron Zemo, as an ordinary man, had done everything he possibly could.
Upon receiving Baron Zemo's command, the Winter Soldier instantly attacked Captain America, who was closest to him.
"Bucky, calm down. It's me, Steve…" Captain America blocked the Winter Soldier's metal fist with his shield, still not giving up on his attempt to awaken him.
However, he was destined for disappointment. Bucky had undergone decades of hypnotic brainwashing, and his mind was already in chaos. It wasn't that easy to awaken him.
It was at this moment that Tony, finding an opportunity, once again fired a laser cannon at the Winter Soldier.
Captain America had no choice but to once again stand in front of the Winter Soldier, blocking Tony's sneak attack for him.
"Stop, Tony. Bucky is not a bad person!" Taking a moment, Captain America once again tried to persuade Tony.
"He killed my parents. He's not a bad person, so am I the bad person?" Tony was almost laughing from anger, then asked seriously, "Are you sure you want to stop me?"
"I don't want it to come to this. Bucky is my friend, I have no choice…" Captain America, caught in the middle, still tried to mediate.
"Fine, then you're now my enemy too." Tony, eager for revenge, no longer cared and simultaneously attacked Captain America.
A barrage of laser hand cannons forced Captain America, who was holding his shield, to retreat repeatedly.
"Does it have to be this way? Alright then, as you wish." Captain America, who had been passively taking hits, looking at the unreasonable Tony, also felt a surge of anger.
When the laser cannon struck again, Captain America rolled to dodge the attack, then threw his shield at Tony, while simultaneously rushing towards him.
Without the advantage of distance, Tony could only rely on his armor and engage in close combat with Captain America, who wielded his shield.
For a time, they fought back and forth.
Seeing this, the Winter Soldier also joined the fight, attacking both Captain America and Tony indiscriminately.
The three of them, "you hit me, I hit you," instantly made the scene incredibly chaotic.
The surrounding Avengers members and street tiers, after understanding the general gist of what happened, couldn't help but show conflicted expressions, unsure of who to help.
They could only watch helplessly as the situation grew more and more chaotic.
Baron Zemo, who had caused all of this, showed an intrigued expression and seemed quite pleased.
Then, while the attention of the Super Heroes was drawn to the battle, Baron Zemo quietly retreated.
His objective this time was largely accomplished, and there was no point in staying here any longer.
It was better to hide in the shadows and preserve himself to continue causing trouble.
However, his stealthy movements were still noticed by Hawkeye.
Hawkeye had nothing to say to this mastermind; he grabbed an arrow from his quiver and pursued him.
Hawkeye, also a former special forces member, possessed excellent archery skills.
As Baron Zemo fled onto an abandoned overpass, Hawkeye shot an explosive arrow, blocking his path.
"Colonel Zemo, your scheme is over." Hawkeye, catching up, took out another arrow and pointed it directly at Zemo, saying, "Come with me, the law will give you judgment."
"Is it really over?" Baron Zemo still had a smile on his face, raising his hands in surrender, showing no intention of resisting.
Then, looking down at the three still fighting beneath the overpass, he said pleasantly, "How do I feel that my plan was very successful?"
From a certain perspective, Baron Zemo's plan to manipulate people's minds was indeed successful, and very much so… "Have we really been wrong?" After capturing Baron Zemo, Hawkeye also had a hint of confusion on his face.
Was Baron Zemo wrong? He certainly was.
But ultimately, he was also a victim.
And the Avengers bore a great deal of responsibility for him becoming the way he was now.
So, did the Avengers truly represent justice? Were they truly without fault?
At this moment, Hawkeye began to doubt the justice he had always upheld.
"The emergence of Super Heroes often leads to the creation of Super Villains," Vision's voice sounded at this moment, "but this does not mean that Super Heroes themselves are wrong."
"When you're confused, it is important to stay true to your original intention…"
Concerned for Hawkeye's safety, Vision had followed him.
As an AI, Vision gave a rational answer to Hawkeye's doubts.
"Thanks, I pretty much understand what you mean." Hawkeye forced a smile, but there was still a haze in his eyes.
Humans, after all, are not robots. Knowing certain truths is one thing, but maintaining firm beliefs is another.
"You humans are truly complex." Vision, seeing that Hawkeye was still not quite right, shook his head but said nothing more.
Then, the man and the robot, escorting the criminal Zemo, returned to the plaza below.
In the plaza, the battle between Tony and the other two continued, showing a tendency to escalate.
Clearly, Tony and Captain America had been fighting for so long that they were now genuinely furious.
As for the Winter Soldier, a soulless killing machine, there was nothing to say; he continued to act like a troublemaker, simultaneously attacking Tony and Captain America.
However, in the chaotic three-way fight, Captain America focused his main energy on Tony, while Tony had to deal with two opponents at once.
Therefore, in the seemingly chaotic battlefield, Tony, who was juggling two opponents, was actually slowly falling into a disadvantage.
However, an unexpected situation also occurred at this moment.
Just as Tony was about to give out, a figure in black armor suddenly rushed over from a distance.
Like a leopard, he tackled the Winter Soldier to the ground.
Then, a flurry of heavy punches rained down on the Winter Soldier's face.
Seeing this, Captain America quickly broke free from Tony and pulled the newcomer away, staring at the man completely covered in black armor, demanding, "Who are you?"
"Don't meddle, Captain." The newcomer did not reveal his identity but glared at the Winter Soldier lying on the ground, angrily saying, "That man ambushed and killed my father; he must pay with blood."
T'Challa, the Prince of Wakanda, had, of course, become the new King of Wakanda after his father's death.
He had traveled all the way from Wakanda this time precisely to find the murderer of his father.
"Oh-ho, Captain. It seems you have another enemy." Tony, catching his breath, finally found an opportunity to mock Captain America.
At the same time, he nodded to the newly arrived T'Challa.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Clearly, Tony had already considered T'Challa an ally.
"There must be some misunderstanding…" Captain America tried to calm T'Challa, then looked at the blood-stained Winter Soldier on the ground, asking with concern, "Bucky, are you alright?"
According to the Winter Soldier's physique, those facial injuries were nothing.
However, his current state was a bit strange; he lay motionless on the ground, his eyes filled with struggle.
"St… Steve… Where am I… What happened…"
Finally, after a long moment of stunned, the Winter Soldier's eyes regained some clarity.
He seemed to recognize Captain America.
However, judging by his confused expression, he seemed to remember nothing of what had happened before.
