Chapter 46 Two pieces of bad news

When Sam Wilson (Falcon) came in, Daniel was discussing the future mission of the Avengers with Team America.

In the aftermath of the Seattle vampire incident, Daniel reaffirmed that the idea of 'working with the government' was correct.

Even, he has a faint sense of crisis: if he doesn't improve it early, heroes who are different from ordinary people and have superpowers are likely to become isolated and even unrecognized in the future.

Of course, he would never let that happen.

“…… We should unite a force that can be united to protect the world, Captain. ”

"Superheroes have special abilities and should be responsible for more important tasks, but that doesn't mean that others can do nothing."

"During this time, I have worked hard to reach a preliminary cooperation agreement with the government. At present, I have official authorization to enter the federal, state, city and county policing system to find information that is not classified. At the same time, they also promised that if they encounter special cases or homicides that the police cannot solve, they will ask us for help as soon as possible. ”

Daniel turned on the holographic projection and asked Jarvis to show the distribution of the various levels of the police system in the United States: "The government has a natural advantage in this, they can have an open grasp of intelligence, materials and information everywhere. Of course, Tony can hack in, but the captain, you know, does it all the time, and it's not flattering. I think that the Avengers cooperate with the government, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. ”

Steve didn't answer directly, but looked at the network graphics of the American police system shown by Daniel, and was surprised: "This is just like a spider web, it turns out that our country, there are so many police?" ”

At this time, Sam stepped forward and helped explain: "I vaguely remember that a few years ago, some media statistics said that there are about 18,000 police and law enforcement agencies in the country. ”

Daniel raised an eyebrow: "The number is quite accurate, that's right." ”

He continued to click on the holographic network map: "I expect to have Jarvis help with a separate mission system, and if a police officer encounters something, they will call us and report back to us." ”

"I'm more inclined to let the Phantom World be in charge of this mission system, things on the Internet, he and Jarvis are just one, and they have more common topics......"

"Through analysis and calculation, the task can be divided into three crisis levels, and the high-level ones will notify everyone to go out immediately (for example, emergencies such as alien attacks); Middle-level ones can not be in a hurry for the time being, and whoever is free will investigate it (for example, the last Vampire incident in Seattle); The lowest level, I think, can be used for training, and new Avengers can try it. But I recommend that it is better to have an old member to lead on my behalf to avoid the problem of lack of experience and loss of ability. ”

"It's very comprehensive and thoughtful." Steve gave a word of appreciation.

"And, of course, the most important thing......"

Daniel raised his chin triumphantly: "There is money to be made out of tolerance!" This time, though, the government rejected my request for a grant. However, if you encounter the situation mentioned above, the Avengers who go out on a mission will get a mission allowance. The specific amount will be discussed depending on the severity of the task. ”

"Wow, that sounds good." Sam couldn't help but admire.

The retired veteran patted Daniel on the shoulder very lively: "Well done, boy." ”

"But there is also a little bit of caution -- control the battle damage."

Daniel didn't care about his compliment, but stared at the blue eyes, and suddenly said fiercely: "If the battle damage is too strict, it is estimated that the government will not reimburse us lightly...... So, when the time comes, I will deduct it from your allowance according to the situation. If it had to be, it didn't matter. But if you're sabotaging, don't say the perks for this mission are gone...... I swear I'll withhold all your money in the future. ”

Sam blinked, a little surprised.

Then, he turned to Steve: "Uh...... Captain, did the Avengers hire a housekeeper? ”

Steve laughed dumbly: "Sam ......"

He thought about it for a while, and when he saw Daniel's puffed up look, he immediately didn't plan to continue joking, but replied positively: "Daniel is right." Sam, we should be cautious about using our abilities, and even if we fight criminals, we should not wantonly destroy. ”

Sam immediately raised his hand in surrender.

He couldn't stand being preached so seriously by the captain: "I know, I know, my damage is very small, but sometimes I can't help it...... By the way, I also went to Skovia not long ago......"

He clumsily diversioned the subject: "Seriously, the location of that city has become a huge pit. If you think about it, you can see how critical the situation was at that time. It's a shame that I wasn't out there and couldn't help everyone. ”

"If I knew in advance, and had enough time to react, I would have informed you if I could find you along the way." Steve replied very seriously.

"Uh...... Forget it! Actually, I don't really want to go...... Your world is crazy. ”

Sam laughed, "A little off topic." I mean, please ask me, I've been tracking down the effective leads of missing people, do you remember? ”

"You have news from Bucky?" Steve immediately turned to ask.

"After the events in Skovia, some people said that it seemed that he had been seen in the area around Skovia. I rushed over...... Perhaps, he's following you, Captain. ”

Sam guessed, "After all, you say, at the end of that time, not only did he not kill you, but he saved you with his own hands." So, maybe he's regained a little bit of his memory...... Before, things in Skovia were so big, and you were in the middle of it. With his attachment to you, whether he wants to kill you before he loses his memory, or wants to save you after regaining his memory...... Probably want to go and see what happened? I guess...... But unfortunately, I arrived a little late, and I searched for a long time in the local area, but I didn't find it. I'm sorry, Captain. ”

"It's not your fault, Sam." Steve smiled a little melancholy, "You've helped me a lot, thank you." ”

Sam waved his hand disappreciatively, "It's nothing, it's what I want, Captain." ”

Steve was silent for a few moments.

But soon, he regained his spirits and said, "It's okay, I'm sure that one day, I'll find Bucky." ”

Nearby, there was a sudden commotion.

They subconsciously looked back and found that Daniel was wrapping a plastic bag with duct tape.

"Those...... Are they all Captain America's soldiers? Sam recognized it at a glance and asked curiously.

"That's right." Daniel replied: "Originally, the highest sales of each month were Iron Man, and Stark made headlines every day, which was simply an invisible advertisement, so his stuff was the best to sell!" ”

He blinked his blue eyes and said in an excited tone: "But not long ago, a big customer in Romania bought all the merchandise of the American team in the store in one go!" Awesome! Therefore, the sales of the American team this month hit a new high, leaving Iron Man far behind. It's really gratifying, someone finally has the discernment to know that the captain is a hundred times stronger than that bastard! ”

Steve was a little embarrassed by his praise: "Daniel ......"

"Don't be modest, Captain." Daniel said seriously: "You're better suited to be liked by teenagers than Tony, who always drinks and picks up girls." ”

Steve was speechless.

Daniel began to count the keychain-shaped shield, and as he counted, he muttered: "I originally wanted to ship it tomorrow, but just now he suddenly urged me on the Internet, saying that he would change the address after a while, and let me ship it early." So, I'm going to have to hurry up and mail it to him. This kind of big customer must be well maintained......"

Steve looked at a pile of dolls that looked like himself, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Sam was puzzled and said, "Why are there so many? And I actually bought twenty or thirty of the same style? This is also too exaggerated, can't you just buy one, to buy so much? When have the captain's fans been so irrational? ”

"This is the pursuit and belief of the fans, you don't understand. Think about it, fill the room with the captain, every time you turn around, every time you look back, the captain seems to be looking at you and smiling, motivating you to move forward, what a happy and uplifting thing! ”

Daniel retorted to him in a serious manner.

"I think it's scary." Sam touched his exposed arm with his hand with an expression of intolerability, and then, guessing, "You say, is it possible that he bought from you at all, and will sell it at a higher price when he turns around?" ”

"Maybe." Daniel stopped what he was doing, pondered for a while, and said, "It's really impossible, but I don't plan to expand my business in a place like Romania." It's okay to let him develop and develop. After all, the captain's light shines on the earth! ”

Sam laughed.

Steve, on the other hand, tries to ignore the fact that the captain they say is himself.

Daniel turned around and took a large puppet of the American team, which was a full 1.8 meters high, out of the room he used as a warehouse with a little difficulty, and introduced: "I like this one the most, the helmet has small wings." Moreover, the overall structure is particularly ergonomic, and when you sleep in your arms, you can rest your head on your chest, which is comfortable! Because the factory feels that this is a bit of a loss, it has stopped producing this material recently, and if it weren't for the customer's generous money, I really don't want to sell him. ”

Steve covered his face with his hands in embarrassment, looking at the pile of large, medium and small shapes, and the pillow that was almost as tall as himself, it felt so weird.

He looked around unconsciously, trying to distract himself and make himself less embarrassed.

Then, he saw the delivery slip......

Consignee: Brooklyn Dwarf.

'Brooklyn dwarf? ’

This familiar nickname made him can't help but draw a shallow arc at the corner of his lips when he didn't know it.

He couldn't help but reach for the delivery slip......

"Bang!" There was a loud bang.

A person fell heavily in the doorway, her long hair hanging down in a mess, her clothes dirty and tattered, covered in blood, but she desperately stretched out her arms to the three people in the room......

“Oh，mygod！”

Steve ignored the courier order and rushed over first.

Sam followed.

Daniel reacted a little slower, he took two steps, then turned around and turned around again to think of something, opened the drawer at the front desk, and took his usual potions chest with him, and then ran over.

He had only run a few steps, and he hadn't come close yet......

Suddenly, I saw Steve running towards him, waving his arms and shouting, "Go back, stand back!" ”

At the same time, Sam quickly pulled down the red goggles, pressed the backpack button behind him, flapped his wings, and flew into the sky.

"Boom!" There was a loud explosion.

The ground shook, and the bright red flames exploded like magma during a volcanic eruption, and a scorching breath of high temperature rushed towards him.

Steve jumped up and pounced directly, protecting Daniel, who didn't react and flee at the first time, under his body.

Luckily, when Tony was building the Avengers, all the materials used were extremely advanced and solid.

And, due to the arrival of superheroes, the lethality of the Hulk and a certain demigod, he later strengthened the building again, and also set up more and more complete security measures.

The extinguishing robotic arm appeared quickly and sprayed the extinguishing agent quickly and efficiently.

The high-tech materials at the entrance of the building also played a preliminary role in blocking these 'flame magma'.

Although the door was blown away, the whole piece of bulletproof glass was shattered, and there was no splash at all, and more importantly, it was blocked by these things, and when it burned into the house, the power was obviously weakened a lot.

However, wait until all the flames are extinguished and the explosion stops.

The big crater left at the entrance of the Avengers Mansion let everyone know that this explosion is definitely not so threatening.

It is conceivable that if the people who were there at the time were not the three Avengers, it is estimated that they would have been blown up on the spot.

"Merlin!" Daniel got up from the ground and was shocked to bring out the wizard's mantra: "Is this a suicide bomber, a terrorist attack?" ”

"Next time, get out of the way, don't be stupid anymore."

The American team didn't answer his question, but patted him on the head first, and said sternly: "Daniel, you shouldn't make this kind of mistake." ”

"I'm sorry, Captain."

Daniel hurriedly apologized: "It's my fault, I thought it was in the building, so ...... It's a little bit lax. ”

Steve bowed slightly, signaling that there was no need to mention it again.

At this point, Sam fell back from the sky.

He walked around the pit, walked quickly, lifted the red windshield on the bridge of his nose, and frowned at the door of the messy building: "Captain, what's going on?" ”

"I don't know, the lady was a little delirious when I passed. But ......"

Steve opened his palm, revealing a small memory card in his palm, "She said, let me give this to Tony." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――

The Avengers Mansion was bombed.

The news quickly spread to everyone.

Countless media reporters blocked the entrance of the building, frantically filming the bombed pit.

They even tried to stop everyone who entered and exited the building.

Black Widow, Hawkeye, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Warplane, no matter what they were doing before, they all hurried back after learning the news.

"What the hell is going on?" Natasha asked with a frown, apparently she had seen the marks of the explosion at the entrance of the building.

She looked around and couldn't help but ask everyone with concern, "Are you all okay?" ”

"It's all right."

Steve picked up the memory card and gently placed it in the center of the table, "Before the deceased died, he asked me to give this to Tony. ”

"I asked the Phantom World to help me take a look."

Daniel explained: "You must have a password to open it, otherwise the information inside will be destroyed. ”

Vision nodded on the side: "Yes, I don't dare to crack it lightly, for fear of destroying the information inside." ”

"So, that means we'll have to wait for Stark to come back before we know what's going on?"

Clint asked a little tangled, "But when will he come back?" As I recall, he is still in France. ”

"I'm back."

A familiar voice sounded, Tony Stark took off his sunglasses with one hand and walked in in a dashing manner: "Everyone, did you miss me?" ”

"Oh, he's here again!" Natasha glanced over with a slight disgust, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but show a smile.

"In these years, there are always some cowards who dare not challenge head-on, and only like to engage in conspiracies behind people's backs."

He grabbed the memory card on the desk, quickly plugged it in/into a computer, and his fingers nimbly jumped on the keyboard, "Let me see, who did it?" Password...... That's a problem...... Anyway give me some hints...... Yes, Jarvis, bring up the surveillance footage of today's □□ bombing and I'll take a look. ”

While everyone was watching Tony, waiting for him to crack the code.

Daniel looked down at his watch, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was three forty-five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was Lukes school day.

"Maya!"

Tony blurted out her name as soon as he saw the blurred face of the deceased in the surveillance video.

"You know her?" Steve asked keenly.

"Maya Hansen." Tony's face was not very good-looking and replied: "A botanist, she and I ......"

He glanced at Daniel with a quick glance, however, the blue-eyed kid seemed to be wandering, and he didn't know what was in mind? A fidgeting look.

"She and I had a while, we were like-minded, she was the only woman who could talk to me about science in bed......"

Tony was quick to explain their relationship, and added a word: "However, we soon separated, just friends." ”

Most of the Avengers raised an eyebrow.

"We're not interested in your affair, Stark." Natasha couldn't help but laugh at him.

"That's all in the past, I'm here now." Tony defended himself again.

He pretended to glance at Daniel casually, but the blue-eyed kid still didn't react, just looked at his watch frequently, looking like he was in a hurry to run out and do something.

Tony frowned, stopped looking, and instead looked down, thinking seriously about the password.

"Okay, let's get back to business. If this is really the memory card that Maya gave me...... Well, I think, the password should be ......"

He was talking to himself, confident and without hesitation, he began to press the keyboard: 'E-x-t-r-e-m-i-s'

“OK！ That's right! Her favorite little plant, she calls it the 'Extremis' ultimate plant. ”

The memory card is opened.

A passage appeared on the screen:

Hi Tony, I'm Maya Hansen.

I'm sorry when you see this memory card, but I have to tell you two pieces of bad news.

The first bad news, by the time you see the memory card, I should be dead;

The second piece of bad news, the Desperate Virus, was stolen.
