As Howard Stark's only child, Tony had, of course, been to the scene.
In the end, both the FBI and the police concluded that they had died in a car accident.
At that time, Tony was only in his early twenties, and he was obsessed with cars and picking up girls every day. He wasn't as sophisticated as he was now.
Grieving over the death of his parents, he had been depressed for months.
But the moment he realized that this video was of his parents' car accident, he knew that there was definitely something wrong.
He clearly remembered that the original investigation report had said that there were no surveillance cameras or witnesses at the scene.
So where did this video of his parents' car accident come from?
Immediately, a motorcycle stopped on the screen.
The man on the motorcycle got out of the car and walked over to Howard Stark, who had rolled out of the car. He reached out, picked him up, and smashed his fist into his face.
Howard's body went limp, and the man stuffed him back into the driver's seat.
Then, the man went around to the passenger seat and reached in.
After that, he looked around and was about to return to the motorcycle.
At that moment, the video was paused.
As he looked around, the man's face was particularly clear on the surveillance camera.
Just as Tony had seen his father, Steve recognized the man on the motorcycle almost the moment he saw him.
The face on the paused screen was completely out of luck.
The man who had killed Tony's parents on a motorcycle was none other than Bucky.
Tony slowly turned his head and looked at Bucky next to him.
His chest was heaving violently and his body was trembling slightly. He suddenly raised his fist and was about to attack.
Steve pulled him back. "Wait, Tony."
Tony's heart sank, and he slowly turned around to look at his old comrade. "You knew?"
Steve looked conflicted, but could only answer honestly, "Yes."
Hearing the answer, Tony nodded with an expression that looked like he was crying and smiling.
Suddenly, his visor closed and he punched Steve in the chest, before he turned around and fired a cannon at Bucky.
Bucky reacted quickly and raised his alloy left arm to block the cannon, but the gun in his hand was knocked away.
Tony immediately pounced on him and hit him.
Steve got up. "Tony, don't …"
Tony stepped on Bucky's left arm and aimed his cannon at Bucky's head.
Steve immediately threw the shield in his hand.
The palm cannon deflected and created a small pit on the cement ground beside Bucky's head.
Steve lunged forward and knocked Tony out of the way.
For a moment, the three of them were fighting in the depths of the base.
Zemo, who was watching from behind the observation window, did not feel any joy at the scene he had expected. He only felt relieved that everything was over. He got up and left.
Luke, who had been watching from the side, simply sent Terchala a message telling him that Zemo had gone up.
The next step was to solve Tony's problem.
Luke already knew that Bucky had killed Tony's parents.
His clones have been hunting Hydra members all over the world, and several of them are from this base, and one of them knows about this.
Under Luke's mental control, the other party couldn't hide anything.
Of course, he had to confess to something as important as killing Howard Stark.
Luke, however, didn't tell Tony the news immediately.
Bucky, who is brainwashed and controlled by Hydra, is also under his control. Strictly speaking, it is not his fault.
Otherwise, the people under Luke's control who exposed Hydra's intelligence should be considered "righteous men."
In an extreme case, for example, Ward, who was trained by Clairvoyant Galrett, was ultimately controlled by Luke's Telekinesis to press the button to kill him.
Could this be considered Ward's repentance and turn over a new leaf? Of course not.
As an expert in mind control, Luke knew very well what it was like to be under control.
Bucky was indeed a victim.
Him killing the Howard couple was actually the same as someone else swinging his hand and killing the Howard couple.
It was the person controlling him, not Bucky.
Also, Steve and Bucky were very close. If Luke said this, the Avengers would likely split up immediately.
But now that Zemo had found out the truth, Luke decided to solve this problem once and for all.
After that, Tony's life would no longer be in danger.
…
In the base, Tony was fighting one on two, but he was still unwilling to be ruthless against Steve.
With the advantage in equipment, he fought for several rounds, but was at a disadvantage.
Looking at Bucky, who was running up the base under Steve's cover, Tony was anxious, but he couldn't shake off Steve.
But in the next moment, a black figure dashed out from below and grabbed Bucky's metal left arm.
Alarmed, Bucky frantically attacked the figure in front of him with his fists and feet.
Amid the clanging sounds of fists and palms colliding, his attacks were all blocked by the person who easily pushed him back to the ground, not far from Tony and Steve.
Tony was stunned for a moment before he said unhappily, "Why are you only here now?"
Steve had a bitter expression on his face. "Bruce, Bucky was only controlled by Hydra …"
Luke, who was wearing his knight armor, nodded. "I know."
Hope welled up in Steve's heart. "Then you …"
Luke shook his head. "Bucky is your friend, but Tony is my friend."
Steve opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
If he could fight Tony for Bucky's sake, then it was reasonable for Knight to fight him for Tony's sake.
After all, Knight and Tony were much closer than he was.
If Bucky's Winter Soldiers hadn't killed Tony's parents, would Steve have tried so hard to stop him? Of course not.
It was hard for anyone to avoid the difference between those who were close and those who were distant.
Now that Luke was openly siding with Steve, Steve didn't know what to do.
It had to be known that gang bigshots who dared speak ill of Black Catgirl always ended up worse than anyone else.
When the rest of the Bat Squad was attacked, their revenge was even more ruthless.
The Dark Knight had never hidden it, and had even deliberately made it clear that he was biased.
At that moment, Steve vaguely understood why Knight hadn't supported Tony when the Avengers split up, but had suddenly popped up now.
Knight might not support Tony's decisions in business, but he would firmly stand by Tony's side in private matters.
With Luke's support, when Tony heard Steve say "I know," he finally recovered from being betrayed by his friend.
Someone had betrayed him, but someone else had firmly supported him, which proved that he wasn't alone.
He punched Steve's shield and knocked him back, before he raised his other hand and fired a palm cannon at Bucky, who had been caught by Luke.
Bang! Pa!
The sound of air shattering echoed in the base. Tony looked in surprise at Luke, who had blocked the attack. "Bruce, what are you doing?"
Luke threw Bucky, who had been injected with a paralyzing toxin, to the ground. "Wait a minute."
As he spoke, he jumped in front of Steve and grabbed him.
Steve subconsciously raised his shield to block it, but his hand was inexplicably slow for a moment.
Luke grabbed him by the neck and injected a tiny amount of paralyzing poison into him.
Steve hadn't expected Knight to do this to him. His body was instantly paralyzed, but he was still conscious. He could only stare at Luke.
