In the original timeline, Bucky was the assassin who killed the Stark couple, but in this out-of-control Universe, it was not him.
Who could it be? Eller hesitated.
However, the fact that Bucky didn't kill the Stark couple made Eller feel that things would be much easier to handle.
"Okay, I understand." Eller nodded, then said to Bucky, "Mr. Barnes, I need to take you for a physical examination now to ensure you are fit for prison."
"Physical examination? Who are you taking him to?" Steve asked.
"You'll know in a bit. Oh, and bring the mechanical arm you took off." Eller went out and found a Mage, asking him to open a portal.
Before long, the three appeared in front of Tony Stark's seaside Villa.
"Stark?" Bucky frowned slightly at the surname on the doorplate, "Howard's son?"
"Yes." Eller pressed the doorbell, and soon, Tony's impatient voice came from inside.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Kamen Rider. My friends and I have something to talk to you about." Eller, who hadn't canceled his transformation, said into the intercom.
"Jarvis, let them in. You can find me in the workshop." Tony said casually, then the gate opened, and the three of them entered.
Soon, the three found Tony in the workshop.
Tony seemed to be designing his new armor. He took off a wristband and then asked Eller:
"What do you need my help with?"
"Help me examine his body." Eller pointed to Bucky.
Hearing this, Tony frowned, confused, "I'm not a Doctor. If it's about treating an illness, I can recommend a very skilled Doctor from Shenzhou. His attitude is much better than that long-faced one in New York."
"A Doctor can't help him." Eller came to Bucky's side, then lifted his shirt, revealing the double Ark Reactor belt embedded in his body.
"Ark Reactor?!" Tony shot up, quickly approached Bucky, and then touched the two Ark Reactors.
"The worst has happened." Eller said to Tony, "Some guy used your technology for human modification."
"Ivan Vanko." Tony gritted his teeth as he uttered the name, then called out to Jarvis.
"Jarvis, perform a full-body scan on this gentleman."
"Yes, sir."
A mechanical arm extended from the workshop's ceiling. The arm's tip had a camera, and as the blue light scanned Bucky's body, Tony also received his data.
After seeing the shocking internal structure, Tony took a sip of tequila to calm himself down before saying:
"What an inhumane technology. They've replaced most of his body with machinery, and the remaining parts don't look like native organs; they look like some kind of insect. The most troublesome part is those two Reactors; they've completely become a part of his body and cannot be removed."
"How can he be saved?" Steve worried.
"The mechanical structure was merely damaged by some external force. I can replace the parts without altering them and then replace the palladium element with the new element I'm currently using. This way, he can function until he's a hundred years old."
Tony gave Bucky a treatment plan, "Oh, and does he need his missing arm replaced?"
Hearing that... Bucky, who wasn't far from a hundred years old, shook his head and said, "No need to replace the arm. The replacement parts also don't need to have combat capabilities."
"Then I'll just replace the broken parts and the Reactor. Go lie down on that chair."
Tony immediately began Bucky's surgery. After some time, Bucky, who had lost his combat ability, shakily got off the operating table.
"I feel like I could open a clinic now." Tony said confidently, raising an eyebrow.
"Thank you, Mr. Stark." Steve thanked him.
"No problem, HYDRA's enemies are my friends." Tony said, looking up, "Alright, I still need to continue researching the armor. You guys can leave first."
Afterward, the three of them left Stark's Villa, but Bucky's mechanical arm remained.
"Sir, should I create a file for the gentleman who was just here?" Jarvis reminded him.
"Of course." Tony said, looking at the mechanical arm:
"The product of combining biology and machinery should never be like this. HYDRA, you are truly Numerous crimes (criminally responsible). I will prove to the World that your path is wrong. Jarvis, pull up that guy's body data. I want to study it carefully."
"Yes, sir."
...........
At the same time, the three of them had returned to Kamar-Taj and were led to the cell by Wang.
Bucky calmly walked into the cell prepared for him. Under the effect of the magic, chains bound him.
"You can still visit, Steve." Bucky said to Steve one last time.
"I will, Bucky." Steve said, looking at Bucky bound by chains, "I will continue to fight, carrying your part."
After all, the two were not truly parting ways in life and death, so there weren't many mushy words to say. Soon, Steve followed Eller and Wang out of the cell.
Eller canceled his transformation and, in a more candid manner, asked Steve, "What are you going to do next?"
"Of course, I'll fight HYDRA all over the World." Steve smiled.
"Do you want to join the Avengers with me? That fake might be a breakthrough." Eller speculated.
"No." Steve refused the invitation, then said to Eller, "That person indeed played Captain America very well, but I still saw through his identity."
"Then who is he?" Eller pressed.
"A guy who has always tried to prove he's stronger than me." Steve whispered.
Hearing this, a name instantly appeared in Eller's mind, "Red Skull?"
"Does history teach even that?" Steve said, surprised.
"I guessed." Eller said truthfully.
"Haha." Steve chuckled twice, then said, "Anyway, it's better for me to act in the Shadow. If that person sees me with you, he'll definitely go crazy."
So Red Skull was so obsessed with Steve? Eller mused to himself, then said to Steve:
"Alright then, be careful. Call me if anything happens."
...........
Some time later, in a certain HYDRA Base, a figure with his back to Whitehall and others was contemplating something.
"How exactly is Alexander Pierce doing things? Didn't he say Steve Rogers was killed by Kamen Rider? But why did I see him with Kamen Rider today?
