Chapter 196 The Aftermath of Howard's Death

Silver-white metal walls, round black cameras, simple wooden tables and chairs, and a wooden bed.

This is the interior decoration of the detention room where Fury is being held, where he has been for two weeks.

But Fury was not mistreated at all. Instead, he ate and drank well every day. However, after a long time, he would inevitably become a little bored.

Of course, Leo thought this would be boring. Only he knew that Fury was boring anyway.

Leo hugged Mustard Seed House, got into the guard room through the vent, and then gently fell on Fury's hair.

This was the first time for Natasha to have such a wonderful experience. She quickly stretched her head and squeezed to the glass window, looking at it curiously.

"Fury, I'm here to see you." Leo said.

Fury heard Leo's voice, but didn't hear what Leo said clearly. His lips moved slightly:

"Leo, what did you say? Please say it again."

Leo simply carried the mustard house and flew into Fury's ear, saying:

"Can you hear me now?"

"Hmm." Fury resisted the urge to rub his ears, responded in a low voice, and then asked,

"Why are you here so early today? Don't you usually come here after dinner?"

"I'm not looking for you this time, it's Natasha who wants to talk to you." Leo explained again, "Her review just ended this morning, and the results are quite optimistic. She is now free."

"Oh?" Fury was very surprised, "Leo, in addition to making yourself smaller, you can also make others smaller?"

After contacting him in the past two weeks, Fury had already discovered how Leo secretly talked to him.

Although it is not the magical sound transmission that Fury originally thought, Leo's ability to grow and shrink freely is equated with magic in Fury's eyes.

Of course, he also guessed that Leo's ability to grow larger and smaller was inseparable from Pym particles.

But he really doesn’t know that Pym particles can do whatever they want, and can make anything and anyone bigger or smaller!

"Of course, I'll let you experience it when you have time." Leo affirmed directly.

Fury couldn't deny Leo's suggestion. He didn't speak for a while and didn't know where his thoughts were wandering.

At this time, Natasha said:

"Chief Fury, I have been released, why don't you care about me first? At least give me your blessing!"

Natasha's voice was slightly dissatisfied.

"As long as the people on the Security Council are not crazy about gain and loss, nothing will happen to you. I have never worried about your safety, Agent Romanoff." Fury said calmly.

Although what Fury said was true, it was so direct that it inevitably lacked some human touch.

Natasha paused for a moment, then recounted to Fury the results of the Security Council's treatment of her.

Finally, Natasha said:

"Sir Fury, where should I go next? Do you have any plans?"

Fury really hadn't thought about this issue and was speechless for a moment.

Natasha waited for two seconds and then said,

"Leo wants me to continue working at Erwin Technology Company. Do you have any objections?"

Fury began to think about this suggestion seriously, and for a while he couldn't figure out the pros and cons.

At this time, Bucky, who was standing next to Natasha, suddenly asked:

"Isn't it called El Technology Company? Why did it become Erwin Technology Company?!"

"I'm going to change the company's name, but I haven't had time to tell you yet." Leo explained.

Fury's eyes narrowed and he suddenly asked:

"Who was the third person who spoke just now?"

"My name is Bucky Barnes, I'm El-Tech..., no, I'm the director of the security department of Elvin Technology."

Leo and Natasha were both so familiar with Fury, so Bucky didn't regard Fury as an outsider. He introduced his identity and wanted to make friends with Fury.

He was from the military before and had a natural affinity for people like Fury who had a military background.

But Fury frowned, his expression changed several times, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Leo and others were hiding in Fury's ear, so naturally they couldn't see the change in Fury's expression, so they didn't notice the abnormality immediately.

But ten seconds later, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence, and Natasha couldn't help but remind her:

"Sir Fury, Leo suggests that I continue to work at Erwin Technology Company. Do you have any opinions?"

"No objection." Fury finally said, "But..."

"But what?" Natasha asked.

"Hey!" Fury sighed,

"Agent Romanov, remember the last time you reported to me after escaping from the Ka Mian Tang base with Leo's help, you said that there was a serum-modified warrior in Hydra whose left hand was replaced with a mechanical arm.

Is that man...Sergeant Barnes?"

When Leo, Bucky and Natasha heard this, they all felt shocked.

Natasha thought for a moment and explained:

"Yes. Bucky was my fighting teacher when I was training in the Red Room in the Soviet Union, so... I deceived you at the time."

"It doesn't matter, I don't blame you."

Fury paused for a moment and then said:

"Sergeant Barnes, I want to confirm something with you. On the night of December 16, 1991, were you the person who killed Mr. and Mrs. Stark?"

After a fierce ideological struggle and considering the relationship between Leo, Natasha and Bucky, Fury finally asked this question.

Howard Stark was kind to him, and now that he has met their murderer, he certainly cannot pretend to turn a blind eye.

Moreover, he had tracked down Bucky's whereabouts for a long time.

Leo frowned and immediately said:

"Fury, Bucky was controlled by Sienna and Dr. Zola at the time. Hydra should be blamed for the deaths of the Starks."

Leo continued to explain without stopping,

"The Hydra organization brainwashed Bucky and even installed a chip in his brain to control his mind. He had no consciousness of his own at that time.

For example, three weeks ago, Sienna suddenly appeared in New York with a chip controller and regained control of Bucky. When Bucky saw me, he even dared to use a knife, so... he couldn't help himself."

After hearing this, Fury remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Bucky spoke:

"Agent Fury, I am sorry and guilty for the death of Howard and his wife."

Bucky’s voice was very deep,

"Agent Fury, since you know my name, you should know something about my past. Howard and I have no grudges, and we are even very familiar comrades.

We went through the difficult years of World War II together. It was not easy for everyone to survive. It was too late for me to wish them a long life, so how could I have the heart to kill them.

But... the fact has happened, they survived the cruel war, but they unfortunately died in my hands in the end."

Bucky took a long breath, his voice was vague,

"When Leo helped me escape from the Hydra base and awakened my consciousness, I realized what I had done. I regretted it, felt guilty, and regretted it...

For the past two years, I have been going to Manhattan Cemetery every year to lay a bouquet of flowers for Mr. and Mrs. Stark.

Of course, no matter what I do, I can't change the fact that I killed them with my own hands. I'm not telling you this to make you sympathize with me or forgive me. I just want to tell you what I really think in my heart, that's all.

"

After Bucky said this, he chose to remain silent.

Natasha turned her head and saw the sadness on Bucky's face, knowing that he was not lying.

Fury listened carefully to Bucky's words, and finally said: "Sergeant Barnes, no matter what, we can't be friends."
