New York, Interstate 87, in a black limousine.

The car is a very ordinary one of the many luxury cars under Tony Stark's name, and the person who drove it was Stark's full-time driver, his henchman, Harpy Hogan.

Although he was a confidant, Stark didn't tell him exactly what happened, but only told him to send Belle and Peter back to New York safely, and to keep an eye on the two of them, and to lend a helping hand as soon as they needed.

In Harpy's eyes, these two children have just experienced a catastrophe in Los Angeles, and have been interrogated for a long time by an eccentric woman who doesn't know where to come from, and now is the time when they are vulnerable and helpless, and they need his enlightenment and comfort the most.

So, like a grandmother who is overly worried about her children, with illogical nagging, he keeps on slapping at the ears and brains of two poor people.

Peter, who is kind and innocent, will try his best to be patient, after all, all Harpy's nagging is well-intentioned. But Belle couldn't bear it, she glanced at the layout in the car, and immediately found a solution once and for all.

"I'm sorry, Harpy." Belle said with a blank face, and at the same time activated the privacy kit pre-built in the car.

"Hey, hey, only Mr. Stark can use this! Damn, can you give me a little respect! ”

A completely opaque glass separates the front and rear rows. No matter how fierce Harpy's protests were, Belle and Peter, who were sitting in the back row, couldn't hear it.

Harpy was a little anxious, after all, the boss specifically pointed out that he drove Belle and Peter back to New York, so that he could take care of it a little, in case the two young people were unable to cope with the sudden and huge pressure.

This doesn't seem to make much sense, after all, they are all people who have seen big scenes.

After a series of events such as being under siege, seriously injured and dying, Hydra besieging the Capitol, and alien tech robots raiding the United States, Belle and Peter's psychological quality has long surpassed that of their peers.

This series of training and actual combat has trained them to become outstanding fighters, the best special forces, and can be competent for combat missions under high pressure and even in desperate situations.

But this time, it's completely different.

There is no rain of bullets, no punches and kicks, the battle with Amanda Waller is on another level, a war without gunpowder.

That is, this is the Cold War, something that these two young people have never experienced.

And, judging from the current situation, Amanda Waller has the absolute upper hand. If she hadn't jumped out, the Avengers wouldn't even be aware of this person's existence.

Then the question arises: since the situation is very good, and the enemy is clear and we are secret, why did Waller take the initiative to jump out? Would it do her any good, or the forces she represents, to do her?

Belle was puzzled by this. But what she cares about most is why Waller demands that she must be on the side of Iron Man.

Seeing Belle fall silent, his brow furrowed, Peter became nervous as well.

He hadn't had a chance to talk to Belle alone since the events in Los Angeles.

After all, his mistake nearly killed Belle, and Peter couldn't think of anything to make up for it. Thinking back to Pepper Potts' suggestion that he buy jewelry as a gift, he secretly felt that even buying a diamond mine this time might not be useful.

Fortunately, even if it was useful, Peter couldn't afford to buy a diamond mine, so he naturally wouldn't bother too much about it. He knew that he was most afraid of the sudden silence of the air, and the top priority was to let Belle speak, just don't hang herself like this.

So he tentatively asked, "I thought you had something to tell me when you got this thing out?" ”

Peter said, knocking on the discolored glass, and the sound was quite crisp.

"This glass is expensive, you can't afford to break it."

Belle said jokingly, but Peter thought so, and quickly withdrew his hand. Since using that damn potion, his strength has indeed increased a lot, and he still can't adapt to the new power well, and he can't really break the glass if he's not careful.

"And I just think Harpy is too long-winded, and I don't have something to hide from him."

"So are you hiding something from me?" Peter asked.

Belle didn't speak.

"Hey, if you don't want to say it, it's okay if you don't tell me. What's more, even if you tell me, I probably won't be able to do anything. Aunt Mei's safety can only be guaranteed with your help, and if it weren't for you, I would have gone crazy now. ”

He was telling the truth.

After talking to Belle, Iron Man quickly conveyed Amanda Waller's words to the Avengers, letting everyone know that their loved ones, friends, and lives were threatened.

And the reason why Peter was able to be calm and stay here all because of Belle's arrangement: with the full protection of Doctor Strange and Luke Cage, and the safe house that Belle spared no expense, even if Waller launched a missile attack on Manhattan, Aunt May could ensure that she was safe.

Peter continues, "But seriously, even you can't solve everything alone. If you can't tell me, and Captain Rogers, Mr. Stark, or Doctor Strange, there's always someone who can help you. Even if I can't help you, it's better to say it than to hold it in my heart. What did you say last time you taught me? 'Make up for wishful things are always three or six, and there is no zero one who can predict'? That's so uncomfortable. ”

"Count me begging you, stop messing around in Chinese, I really don't understand what you're saying."

"I'm trying to learn it, but it's so hard," Peter said helplessly, "but it doesn't matter, I want to say that you can try to share your stress with other people." It's not the first time we've talked about this, but you always don't seem to believe me. ”

Peter said, noticing Belle's "Don't you have a little * count" look on her face, and he immediately realized that what he had done recently was really not trustworthy.

"It's all my fault this time, I'm sorry."

"You're not sorry for me, I'm still alive."

The two men fell silent again, mourning the dead black sky.

After about five minutes, it was Peter who spoke first: "It's really my fault, but I can't stop because of this." What I should do, I have to continue, to be a good neighbor of New Yorkers, Spider-Man, to be an Avenger, to avenge Mr. Black. Then, I will try to help you as much as I can, without causing you any trouble. ”

"It's a bit surprising that you think so." Belle said in a low voice.

"After all, time is pressing, and besides, if I can't cheer myself up, Mr. Black will die in vain." Peter said, squeezing out a smile.

Hearing Peter say this, Belle also felt a little lighter.

"It's best that you could think that," Belle said, "because the rest of the story, if you're here, might be a lot easier." ”

……

Half an hour ago, upstate New York, a conference room at the Avengers headquarters.

The moment Belle left the conference room, Tony Stark immediately got busy, his fingers tapping on an invisible keyboard, and at the same time, a series of commands were sent around the world in various ways.

Captain America tries to ask something, but he knows that Stark would never do anything inconsequential in such a pinch. So he wanted to speak several times and stopped.

It wasn't until five minutes later, Stark let out a sigh of relief, stretched, and took a few sips of his coffee that he finally looked at Captain America.

Captain America thought about it for a long time, and still asked the question he least wanted to ask, but he had to ask: "Do you believe what she said?" ”

"I don't believe it," Stark said firmly, "for now, I don't see any reason to turn us against each other. ”

Captain America nodded, in response to Iron Man's words.

However, the latter changed his tone and said, "Unless, there is any other information that I do not know." Let's say you suddenly mutiny, saying you're a hydra or something. ”

The captain said solemnly, "Tony, now is not the time to joke!" ”

"Don't be so nervous, old man," said Stark, "why are you so serious, are you really a hydra?" ”

"Why don't you cut off my head and see if you can grow two new heads?" The captain said angrily.

But since Tony is in the mood to joke, it means that he is sure to deal with the current situation. In the five minutes just now, the corresponding arrangements must have been made.

So the captain then asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Without hesitation, Tony replied: "Do your best to keep everyone safe." Ever since Loki led his men to attack New York, I've been preparing for every eventuality. These include safe houses around the world to ensure that the people we need to protect are protected from all forms of threat in times of need. ”

"Just now, all the safe houses have been activated and will remain fully operational for the next period of time, monitored and protected by special personnel from the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D."

Captain America frowned, he immediately noticed the flaw, "But this will greatly disperse our manpower and strength, and if we don't get it right, we will be broken by each other." ”

"Captain, if you think about it, Waller's purpose is not to kill everyone, but to use these people as a threat in exchange for the unconditional obedience of the Avengers. So what she has to do is to locate, check and monitor these safe houses. ”

Captain America suddenly realized.

"You mean, as long as they do it, there will be traces, and we can also follow the vine and find out the power behind Waller. That's true, but ......"

"I know what you're going to say," Stark interrupted him, "I'm not going to risk innocent lives as bait, so I've got three options for you. ”

"First, enter a safe house randomly designated by FRIDAY. Based on the number of safe houses I have set up, the probability of being found is actually very low, and even if I do, I am very confident in the defense system of the safe house, and even if there is a small nuclear explosion, the people inside will be safe. ”

Captain America still knows about Iron Man's financial resources, and with such an amazing arrangement, they just treat it as a normal thing.

"Second, move to us. With Wanda and Vision, and hundreds of agents on the side, plus the security level of the Avengers' headquarters, this place will only be safer than a safe house. ”

The captain agreed.

"Third, if neither of the first two applies, we can send the Avengers for close protection. It's just that this one doesn't apply to everyone. ”

"Like the First Lady?" The captain asked.

"It depends on what the person thinks." Tony said this, slightly worried, "From a national point of view, it is really not a good thing for the first lady to hide. I'm just not sure if the best person to protect the first lady will still be able to do the job. ”

"But I've left the Romanovs to take care of this," Stark said, "We're not going to think about that for now." For us, the most important thing at the moment is to solve our own problems. After all, we're not monolithic. ”
