Chapter 241: The Small Stick Is Beaten by the Big Stick

"revenge?"

Howard heard the word, thought about it, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's better not to think about such things, it will only increase your worries."

A dead person cannot even leave this world, so there is no need to talk about revenge.

Tony was silent, understanding what Howard meant.

But understanding does not mean accepting.

Howard couldn't do anything, but Tony was different.

At this moment, Tony's original desire to recognize Howard also faded away, firstly because he still didn't understand what happened with Potts, and secondly because if they recognized each other at this time, Howard would definitely persuade him not to take revenge.

Tony didn't want to hear this.

"After I kill Barnes, I'll come over to meet you." Tony thought to himself, "By then the deal will be done, and the old man won't be able to say anything to me."

So, Tony tried his best to restrain his emotions, only put on a look of regret, and continued chatting with Howard.

He made some insinuations and asked for many details.

There’s something about Barnes and there’s something about Potts.

With this information, after returning to the human world, we will have the direction of investigation.

He will definitely take revenge!

…

Steve said goodbye to his reunited friends and wandered alone on the street.

Two black shadows passed over his head. Steve looked up and saw Katum and Bruce.

"So you are here."

Steve waved and said, "I thought it would take a long time to find him, right, where is Tony?"

"Tony is with his dad," Bruce said. "Do you want to go over and meet them?"

"That's no need." Steve shook his head, "They are enjoying family happiness together, why should I bother them? By the way, I have something to ask you. I don't know if it's convenient."

"What's going on?" Bruce asked.

"Can you guys find someone for me?" Steve said. "Bucky Barnes, a former member of the Howling Commandos, died in 1943..."

As soon as he said this, Bruce interrupted him: "I know who you are talking about, but this matter is a bit difficult to handle."

"Is there any difficulty?"

Steve was confused and thought of a possibility, "Did Bucky not come to this world?"

"You're pretty close," Bruce said. "Bucky didn't come to this world, he didn't die at all."

"Not dead?!"

Steve's eyes widened. The news was so shocking that he didn't know how to react.

Bucky is not dead? But I watched him fall into the valley with my own eyes.

etc--

Who says you will definitely die if you fall into a valley?

Didn’t he also crash into the deep sea and survive until now?

Maybe something similar happened to Bucky.

"When we return to the human world, can you help find him?"

Steve begged, "Please, I'm not proficient in magic yet. It would be difficult to find him alone."

"Well..."

Bruce hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell Steve the truth.

"In fact, I suggest you don't have anything to do with Bucky anymore."

Then, in Steve's uncomprehending eyes, Bruce told him the truth about Howard's death.

"Bucky killed Howard?"

Steve felt his heart tremble, how could such a thing happen?

Bucky and Howard were not only his comrades-in-arms, but also close friends, his inseparable wings.

As a result, such a murder actually happened between these two people!

"Is it for me?" Steve asked first.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be," Bruce said.

That's weird.

Steve couldn't figure out why there would be such a conflict between the two men if it wasn't for him.

After thinking for a long time, Steve finally came to a conclusion.

"Bucky is definitely not this kind of person. I know him. He will never kill his comrades!"

After thinking about it just now, Steve thought of a possibility.

"Zora! It must be Zora of Hydra!

“Bucky fell off a cliff in 1943, and the area where he disappeared was controlled by Hydra!

"Hydra must have found him later, and then Zola did experiments on him, such as brainwashing or something..."

If not, Steve couldn't think of any reason why Bucky would kill Howard.

Steve doesn't want to stay in this world for a moment anymore. He must return to the world immediately and investigate this matter!

At this time, Bruce told him another bad news.

"Tony probably already knows about this."

Bruce said, "I'm afraid now he has regarded Barnes as his biggest enemy."

After hearing the news, Steve was silent for a long time.

After a long while, he said in a low voice: "It should be...if I were Tony, the reaction would probably be even more intense."

That being said, Steve still insisted on what he had just said.

There must be a secret behind Bucky killing Howard.

"Looks like I have to find Bucky first."

Steve said, "Find out the truth first, and then decide what to do next."

…

Tony had a meal at Howard's house. The food of the deceased was different from that of the human world, and it tasted tasteless.

But Tony is still very satisfied. He has not eaten with his parents for more than ten years.

Although he ate this meal as Potts.

After dinner, Tony said goodbye and left. He and Howard agreed to meet again if there was a chance.

"Next time we meet, I will bring Barnes's dog head with me." Tony thought.

If I can't avenge myself in my lifetime, I will not be able to see my parents again even if I die.

When he left the apartment, Tony saw Steve and two owls waiting at the door.

It seems that they found him.

Steve...

When Tony saw Captain America now, he couldn't help but think of a question.

If he wanted to kill Barnes to avenge Howard, which side would Steve stand on?

"Howard lives upstairs?" Steve asked.

"Yes."

Tony nodded, but then said, "They are very tired now and it is not convenient for them to see guests."

Before Steve expressed his opinion, he was not worthy of seeing his parents, Tony thought so.

Coincidentally, Steve was also full of thoughts and felt that he had no face to see Howard.

"Well, I won't go up." He said.

After saying this, the atmosphere between the two became very strange, even worse than before, and they both held back and didn't speak.

Katum didn't care about that. Since there was no reason to stay any longer, it was time to go back.

He flew to the two of them and grabbed them with the familiar grasp. A flash of white light flashed before their eyes. When they opened their eyes, they saw the familiar room again.

Steve had something on his mind and quickly said goodbye and left.

The two owls followed him and flew away.

Tony sat alone in the room. His muscle strain had not healed yet, and he was not able to move. He could only sit on a chair, supporting his chin with both hands, thinking for a long time.

"Jarvis."

After a long time, Tony spoke, "Find out the reports about my parents' accident. I want all of them."

"Are you sure? Sir," Jarvis said, "You once said that you would never read it again..."

"I'm sure!" Tony finally couldn't control his emotions and shouted, "Find it out, right now!"

...

Bruce returned to his room and turned back into human form.

Katum lowered his head and jumped on the table. He knew Bruce must have something to say.

Sure enough, a moment later, Bruce spoke.

"Katum, is there a possibility..."

"Yes."

Katum said, "After all, this is Gotham, everything is possible."

"Really..."

After Bruce said this, he fell into silence.

He huddled himself in the quilt, staring at the ceiling with his eyes, and was worried.

It must be said that after several years of getting along, Bruce and Katum have formed a unique tacit understanding.

Although Bruce did not make it clear just now, Katum has given him the answer he wanted most.

Tony's parents originally claimed to have died in an accident, but it turned out to be a conspiracy.

What about Bruce's parents?

Will the so-called shooting also have a deeper conspiracy?

And Katum's answer made Bruce realize that this conspiracy may really exist.

Everything can only wait for Bruce to find out.

...

The next day, Bruce got up from the bed, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and his aura was very low.

He was worried last night and couldn't sleep, so he could only keep his eyes open until dawn.

When he walked out of the room, the door of the room on the other side just opened, and the little red-haired girl came out, looking at Bruce with a very strange look.

"What's wrong?" Bruce asked.

This unexpected question made Wanda a little at a loss. Weren't they in a cold war? Why did Bruce talk to her like nothing happened?

But after hesitating for a moment, Wanda didn't make it clear.

Since Bruce spoke first, it means that she won.

Winning is winning, there is no need to dig into the previous things.

She asked naturally: "Didn't you sleep last night?"

"Did you see it?"

Bruce forced a smile, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Wanda's eyes.

The other party's eyes were also full of bloodshot.

"You didn't sleep all night, what's wrong, are you worried?"

"No, I just can't sleep." Wanda rubbed her eyes and said.

She didn't say this, the actual situation is not that simple.

Wanda and Bruce's nightmare war has actually been going on. In the process, Wanda's control over the scarlet magic has also been increasing little by little.

At least she feels that she will not fail like before.

Last night, Wanda was well prepared and wanted Bruce to experience what an enhanced nightmare is.

The result -

Bruce did not sleep all night.

The other party did not sleep, and Wanda was unwilling to end it like this, so she could only wait with her eyes open, and waited until now.

Bruce walked into the bathroom, took out his toiletries, and wanted to clean up and make himself more awake.

At this time, Wanda also walked in.

"Go a little further." She said.

Bruce moved his body and shared a sink with Wanda.

In the mirror, two people stood together brushing their teeth.

This scene was put yesterday, Bruce dared not think it would happen.

Wanda spit out the foam in her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Did you encounter anything unhappy?"

"It's not a big deal."

Bruce rinsed his mouth with a gurgling sound and spit the water into the sink, "I just suddenly thought of my parents."

Wanda wiped her mouth with a towel and kept glancing at Bruce.

So that's it, she suddenly understood why Bruce greeted her today.

This guy is in such a low mood now.

"I often feel this way too." Wanda said, "In the middle of the night, I think of my parents and cry alone."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

Bruce asked, "How did you get out of it?"

"I didn't get out of it."

Wanda said, "I still feel that my parents are by my side, always with me."

Hearing this, Bruce turned his head and glanced behind Wanda.

There, two white phantom figures stood behind Wanda.

When they heard Wanda's words about missing her parents, the two figures obviously showed unusual fluctuations.

"Maybe you are not wrong."

Bruce said, "Maybe your parents are really with you all the time."

"That's good." Wanda nodded.

When the two finished washing and walked out of the bathroom together, the previous cold war had completely disappeared.

They sat at the dining table and continued to talk about family topics.

For some reason, Bruce should have been the one who was in a low mood, but as they chatted, it was Wanda who was feeling down, and Bruce comforted her.

"Actually, I'm still okay."

Wanda wiped away the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, "I'm most worried about Pietro. He doesn't say anything on the surface, but I know he just keeps these things in his heart."

Really?

Bruce recalled Pietro's usual heartless look, maybe it was all a disguise.

"He's not really happy." Bruce said with emotion.

Then, at this moment -

Pietro's room opened with a bang.

"Haha!"

Pietro raised his hands and slid out of the room.

Bruce rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken. Pietro was really skating on the floor like skating.

"Good news!"

Pietro said, "Maya from the next class accepted my friend request, I'm going to be single again!"

Well...

At this moment, Bruce had an urge to tear his mouth apart.

Is Pietro's happiness really just a protective color?

Don't jump to conclusions so easily in the future.

But at this time, Wanda frowned and said, "Maya? Why don't I remember there is such a classmate in the next class?"

"I didn't say it was a classmate." Pietro said confidently.

"That is-"

Wanda suddenly widened her eyes and thought of something.

"Are you talking about Ms. Maya, the art teacher next door?"

Wanda screamed, "She is in her forties, and her son is almost older than you!"

"So what?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Pietro grabbed his schoolbag and ran away. The saints said that the small stick was beaten by the big stick.

Bruce sighed and shook his head. It seems that the loss of his parents still had a great impact on Pietro.

Let him like older women.

At this time, Bruce stirred the coffee and felt that he should add some milk, so he naturally reached out his hand.

At this moment, Wanda also stood up very naturally and took the milk for Bruce.

All this was smooth, as if it had happened countless times.

In a dream.

When they realized what was happening, Bruce and Wanda were both stunned.
