Chapter 448: Captain America and Iron Man's Feud (Second Update)
"What's the situation?"
On the display screen of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet, Agent Hill asked Iron Man once the video call connected.
Iron Man shook his head and replied:
"The mission failed. Ultron took all the Vibranium, but the good news is, Witch is back!"
"Witch is back!"
Agent Hill's eyes lit up immediately.
Witch's strength was well-known throughout the world, and he was widely regarded as the most powerful of all the Avengers.
Although Jerry had never officially acknowledged himself as an Avenger, in the public eye, he was one of them.
"Good afternoon, Agent Hill!"
At that moment, Jerry, who was sitting next to Tony, leaned over to greet her.
Agent Hill was one of the earliest agents he had interacted with. He remembered the days when he was still hiding, afraid that someone would discover his true identity as a young wizard.
"Welcome back, Mr. Witch. I'm sure Nick will be very pleased to hear this news!"
"Oh, unfortunately, I have some bad news to tell him as well this time!"
Jerry shrugged his shoulders.
He had to inform Nick Fury and all the Avengers about the major crises, such as Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones and Ego's plan to devour the universe.
Although they might not be able to do much in the end, it would at least give them a sense of urgency and encourage them to focus on improving their strength over the next few years, rather than wasting time on internal conflicts.
"Bad news?"
Agent Hill was taken aback.
Jerry smiled:
"We'll discuss the details when we meet in person!"
"Alright, Barton will take you to a secure location where Ultron's internet cannot reach. Nick and Coulson are both there!"
Agent Hill nodded and ended the video call.
Once the screen dimmed, Jerry turned to Iron Man and asked:
"By the way, what's going on between you and Captain Rogers? You two seem off."
"A while back, we had some disagreements due to certain events."
Tony sighed and recounted the details of what had happened.
The main source of their conflict was the Winter Soldier, who had been protecting Pierce and was subdued by Jerry at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
After Jerry left, Captain America discovered that the Winter Soldier was none other than his long-dead friend, Bucky.
Captain America had always been frail and sickly, and it was Bucky who had taken care of him. Later, after receiving the Super Soldier Serum and becoming Captain America, he and Bucky fought side by side.
In many ways, Bucky was the most important friend in his life.
But how did Bucky, who was presumed dead during World War II, come back to life and become Hydra's notorious Winter Soldier?
After a series of investigations, including helping Coulson dismantle several Hydra remnants, Captain America finally found the answer.
It turned out that when Bucky fell off a cliff during a mission, he didn't die. Instead, Hydra's Dr. Zola had taken him and subjected him to physical modifications and brainwashing, turning him into a cold, memoryless killer who obeyed orders.
Similarly, Hydra had frozen several other Winter Soldiers in Siberia.
In the end, with the help of Fitz and Jemma, Bucky finally recovered all his memories. However, this brought up a significant issue.
During the time Bucky was under Hydra's control as a killer, he had murdered many good people, including Iron Man's parents.
Upon learning this news, Captain America was immediately torn. Later, after being counseled by Coulson's team, he finally brought Bucky to Tony and explained the entire situation.
Upon discovering the truth, Tony was naturally furious. Faced with the man who had killed his father, he almost lost control. However, perhaps due to Captain America and Bucky's attitudes, and the full understanding of the truth, Tony ultimately did not kill Bucky. Instead, he simply expelled Captain America and Bucky from Stark Tower, as he could not forgive the person who had killed his parents.
Even when Rogers tried to speak to him a few times, Tony never gave him a good response.
"Jerry, tell me, am I being too petty? After all, in this matter, Bucky is also a victim!"
After recounting his conflict with Captain America, Tony couldn't help but sigh.
Clearly, after so much time, he had already forgiven Captain America and Bucky for the most part, but was still holding onto his pride.
Jerry, at this moment, also felt a sense of reflection.
He reflected on how his presence had indeed changed many things.
According to the original storyline, the events Tony described only happened after the Ultron incident, and the details were different from what Tony had recounted.
"To be honest, I think you've done well. If it were me, I would have killed Bucky even if he was under control."
Jerry consoled him.
Compared to Captain America, he had known Tony for a longer time and had a closer relationship with him. So, if he had to choose a side, he would definitely stand by Tony.
And to be honest, he wasn't as noble as Tony and Captain America, who could sacrifice themselves for strangers.
He cared more about his family and friends. If his family or friends were killed, he wouldn't let the perpetrator off, whether they were controlled or not.
"Jerry, I know you're trying to comfort me. Sometimes, I think if I put myself in his shoes, it doesn't seem wrong.
For example, if it weren't for your timely arrival, and Banner was controlled by that female Inhuman and harmed someone, I would find it hard to blame him, as it wasn't his own will."
Tony thought for a moment and began to explain on Rogers' behalf.
Jerry smiled.
"If you can think that way, it's the best. After all, as a friend, I hope you and Captain Rogers can make up."
While he would side with Iron Man if they were to fight, he would prefer they reconciled.
"Let me tell you, your Earth planes are way too slow. We should have listened to me and taken my Milano. The speed is beyond your imagination!"
Just as Jerry finished talking with Tony, Star-Lord's complaint came from behind.
He shook his head in exasperation and asked the pilot, Hawkeye:
"Agent Barton, how long will it take to reach our destination?"
"The distance is quite far. It will probably take about five to six hours, so you might as well get some sleep!"
Barton replied, turning his head while continuing to pilot the plane.
Jerry immediately said:
"Give me the approximate coordinates, and I'll open a portal at the front of the plane. This way, we won't have to fly for so long!"
"Alright, the coordinates are—"
Barton was taken aback for a moment but quickly nodded and provided the coordinates of their destination.
