Chapter 129 Tony, Bucky, Steve
The scenery of the Northland, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.
This is Siberia, a remote and frigid region.
Hidden within this is a steel base, a secret base of Hydra.
"Jarvis, scan this secret base ahead and find the laboratory entrance."
"Yes, sir."
Tony, dressed in his battle suit, was rapidly approaching the base from a distance.
On the ground, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents worked together to advance rapidly.
"Unidentified flying object spotted! Unidentified flying object spotted! Requesting instructions!"
"attack!"
The guards inside the base quickly spotted Tony, who made no attempt to conceal himself. Upon receiving orders from their superiors, beams of energy shot out.
However, none of them hit.
Jarvis evaded all attacks by maneuvering his suit at high speed.
At the same time, small missiles were launched from the suits, accurately hitting the resistance forces in the secret base.
"Jarvis, am I close enough?"
“It’s just out the window, sir.”
Following Jarvis's directions, Tony broke through the window and entered.
Inside the laboratory, guards and researchers mingled together, hurriedly transferring experimental data.
The moment they saw the Iron Man suit burst through the window, the guards immediately drew their guns and opened fire.
The researchers, on the other hand, immediately covered their heads and squatted down.
Many of them were tricked by Hydra and were unaware of the truth beforehand.
"Please stop, everyone. Let's talk this out."
Tony remained calm and composed despite the guards' gunfire.
These small-caliber firearms were completely unable to penetrate the defenses of his Iron Man suit.
However, the guards in the laboratory clearly had no intention of having a proper conversation with Tony.
Or rather, they just wanted to talk to Tony with bullets.
Seeing this, Tony's shoulder armor rose up, and several small, powerful missiles took down the guards one by one.
Upon landing, Tony surveyed the area.
The researchers obediently squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
The guards had also lost the ability to resist.
Stepping out of his suit, Tony gave Jarvis the command: "Alert Mode."
Inside the laboratory, several nutrient tanks are being activated urgently.
It seems they want to awaken the dormant weapons inside.
Winter Warrior!
Super soldiers secretly researched by Hydra.
Tony's target on this trip was one of their members.
—James Buchanan Barnes, nicknamed Bucky.
One night in 1991, Bucky (who had been captured and brainwashed) killed Tony's parents.
Ever since receiving this information from Mephisto, Tony has been searching for his whereabouts.
Tony checked each of the nutrient tanks and was lucky enough to find Bucky there as well.
Tony walked to the control panel and, after a few actions, interrupted the Winter Soldier's awakening process.
And copy down the experimental data.
"Jarvis, contact Commander Hill, tell her about the situation here, and send her a copy of the information."
"Okay, sir."
After dealing with official business, the next step is to settle personal scores.
Tony looked at the sleeping Bucky, his eyes shifting between anger and reason.
"Jarvis, retrieve James Buchanan Barnes' biographical file, along with the latest information."
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis's voice rang out, his tone and manner as usual.
Military records: James Buchanan Barnes, born in 1917 in Shelbyville, Indiana, USA.
"During World War II, he joined the army. Later, he became Captain America Steve Rogers' assistant, and followed Captain America in many attacks on fascist strongholds. Towards the end of World War II, he fell off a cliff and went missing during a raid on Dr. Zola."
"Hydra Files: James Buchanan Barnes was found by Hydra after falling off a cliff."
"Dr. Arnim Zola brainwashed and controlled him, and installed a new metal arm in his broken arm, turning him into Hydra's important weapon, the Winter Soldier."
"After that, he kept cycling through the three processes of freezing, unsealing, and carrying out missions."
Tony listened quietly as Jarvis finished reading Bucky's biography, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

Just then, the sound of shattering glass rang out.
The Pakistani metal's left arm pierced through the nutrient tank and emerged from it.
His gaze locked onto Tony.
Upon seeing this, Tony was not surprised but rather pleased.
"You came out at just the right time."
Bucky, looking dazed, ignored Tony's words, stepped forward, and threw a punch straight at him.
Tony didn't rush to retreat, but moved his feet and dodged Bucky's metal left arm.
Then, he circled around to Bucky's right and threw a punch.
Bucky raised his right arm to block.
At this moment, it's Bucky, the genetically modified Winter Soldier, versus Tony, the luminous energy-evolved human.
boom!
With a muffled thud, Bucky staggered and lost his balance.
Tony seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and delivered a powerful punch to Bucky's face.
With his body injured, Bucky had even more difficulty regaining his balance and could only swing his left arm in an attempt to force Tony back.
Tony quickly crouched down and swept his leg across the ground, dodging Bucky's metal left arm while simultaneously launching a counterattack.
boom!
Bucky fell to the ground again, but quickly rolled away to create distance and got back up.
Taking advantage of the distance between the two, Tony cast a spell with both hands, summoning a small energy shield—the Red Ring of Raghadore.
It's not that there aren't more powerful spells, but Tony just wants to beat Bucky up to vent his anger, and the Red Ring of Laggardor is enough.
The next moment, the two started fighting again.
With the energy shield in place, Tony's concerns about Buckymetal's left arm were greatly reduced.
After several months of enhancement with the Radiant White Energy, Tony's physical abilities had now surpassed those of Bucky, a less advanced version of a cyborg, in every aspect.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a fierce fight, Bucky was left with a bruised and swollen face.
Tony was covered in sweat and fuming.
At that very moment, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had also breached the secret base and arrived at the laboratory.
Leading the group was Bucky's childhood friend and best buddy, Steve Rogers.
"Bucky!"
Steve was greeted with an excited shout and a punch from Bucky's metallic left arm.
Steve barely managed to react and raised his shield to block.
"Bucky, it's me, Steve."
Bucky ignored him, took the opportunity to push aside Steve's vibranium shield with his right hand, and kicked straight at him.
boom.
Caught off guard, Steve was immediately kicked away.
Tony, meanwhile, was watching from the sidelines.
He observed that Bucky retained some rationality even after being brainwashed and controlled.
"Tony, what's going on? Why doesn't Bucky recognize me?"
After rolling twice on the ground to dissipate the force, Steve quickly got up and asked Tony, who had arrived earlier, for directions.
“He’s been brainwashed and controlled, he’s lost his memories, and now he’s probably practically a robot,” Tony explained.
"Help me, Tony, let's take down Bucky together. Be careful not to hurt him."
"Ok."
Tony agreed.
After venting his anger, he felt much better.
Bucky was merely the weapon that killed his parents; the mastermind behind it all was the real culprit.
