Chapter 37: The Divided Avengers

“No！！！” When Steve saw this scene, he instantly didn't know where the power came from, broke free from the restraints, and rushed over.

Boom.

“No…… No…… It's not true......" Steve fell to his knees in distraction, staring blankly at the empty ground without leaving a trace.

Ronnie glanced at him and turned to leave.

"Wrap up."

"Yes!"

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Ronnie's residence.

"Steve...... Still in their room did not come out. You killed the Winter Soldier in front of him this time, and it was too much of a stimulus for him. Mera, who was dressed in pajamas, leaned against Ronnie's chest and whispered.

"I know." Ronnie nodded calmly. "But I have to do it, become them, and I can't die in vain!"

Mera sighed softly, Ronnie's mood was unstable right now. Even after all these things, that incident still had a huge impact on him.

……

"Have you thought about it?" Natasha said in a deep voice, looking at Steve opposite, her face a little solemn.

"Hmm." Steve sighed. "Bucky has done so many wrong things, and to say something unpleasant, he is innocent. But he was a good friend of mine after all, and I couldn't sit idly by and watch him die. ”

"So you're leaving?" Natasha said with a frown.

"Leaving was the best option. Now, the earth has entered a period of peace, and the Avengers are more of a deterrent, and my departure will not have much impact on the alliance. ”

"I'll be back if I need to."

"Say that to Ronnie yourself." Natasha shook her head.

Steve was stunned, but then reacted.

"You don't have to Natasha. I was forced to do so, but you are different. Steve said helplessly.

"I don't want to fight like this anymore, I want to get back to calm. It's not bad to take advantage of this opportunity to go home and recuperate. Natasha said with a smile.

"You ......" Steve didn't know what to say.

……

Avengers Base, Council Hall.

Ronny sat on the first seat with a calm face, and it was rare below, all the Avengers, except Thor, were all present.

"Ronny, I think I'm going to be away for a while." Steve said in a deep voice.

"Your freedom to stay or go is your freedom, and I have no right to interfere." Ronnie said with a calm face, looking at Steve.

"I understand. I'll be back if I need it. ”

In this regard, Ronnie did not take a stand.

"Is there anyone else who wants to leave, raise your hand if you want to leave?" Ronny clasped his hands over his shoulders and said calmly.

Natasha and Sam raised their hands without surprise, and to Ronnie's surprise, Clint also raised his hand.

However, it was just an accident.

"The Avengers will always be your home, and we won't remove you." Ronnie said.

"Thank you."

"You don't need to say thanks, you deserve it. I'm just a manager, not a decision-maker. The Avengers have had no hierarchy since the beginning of their existence, we are equal. Whether you want to go or stay, you decide. ”

In the face of Ronnie's words, the group of people who decided to leave fell silent. Reluctance breeds in my heart.

This is the place where they have been fighting for a long time. Sudden departure, reluctance is inevitable.

"I want to be away for a while."

Ronny frowned at the man who said it.

It's Wanda.

"Wanda, you?" Pete is in a hurry, Wanda, what's going on?

Ayako Matsuki grabbed Pete and shook her head at him.

"Reason."

"The life of a superhero is not quite for me, I still prefer the life of ordinary people." Wanda said softly.

"But you have to know that your ability is destined that you will not be an ordinary person in this life." Catherine clasped her hands over her shoulders and said aloud.

"I understand, but I still want to live a normal life." Wanda smiled slightly and said.

"Okay." Ronnie interrupts Catherine, who is about to continue talking, and agrees to Wanda's departure.

"Anything else you want to leave?" Ronnie asked, glancing at the remaining Avengers.

No one answered, they didn't want to leave.

At this point, Ronny looked back at Steve.

"Call me if you need my help. Also, this shield ......" Steve looked up at Tony, who had been silent.

"Tony, this shield was given to me by your father, and I will return it to you now, which can be regarded as the return of the goods to its original owner."

Steve gently placed the vibranium shield on the table, which he had fought side by side for decades, and slowly stood up.

Natasha, Sam, Clint and others who wanted to leave also stood up.

"Goodbye."

No one spoke, just watched quietly as the men left one by one.

At this moment, the Avengers, split in two.

"Why...... Why do you want to leave......" Skye sighed and muttered.

"Everyone has the right to choose their own life, and we are not in a position to interfere in their lives." Mera whispered.

"But that's what they did? We"

"Okay Skye." Catherine called out to Skye. "It's their choice, and it's okay if we respect their choice."

Skye shook her head helplessly and sat back in her seat.

"Just because they're leaving temporarily doesn't mean they won't come back. The difference in philosophy does not mean that everyone is necessarily an enemy. Ronnie spoke.

"It's business as usual, I'll leave first." With that, Ronnie got up and left.

By the time Ronnie left, the council hall fell silent.

"Actually...... The boss is the one who is the most stressed. Skye said with a sigh.

"The death of the Winter Soldier at his hands was a fuse, a fuse that divided the Avengers." Ayako Matsuki said calmly.

"But the Winter Soldier must die, and if the Winter Soldier doesn't die, Ronnie is sorry for his own heart. But as soon as the Winter Soldier died, today's situation was bound to happen. Catherine said.

"It's a tough question."

"Actually, I should have done it." Tony, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"No, it's not your fault." Mera shook her head. "It's Ronnie's own choice, he's the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., that's his choice."

"But"

……

The hallucinator was debating for a while, and he didn't know what to say, so he looked at Banner beside him.

“……”

Well, one man and one robot looked at each other awkwardly and confusedly.

You look at me, I look at you, and the undisguised bewilderment and confusion in the other party's eyes are all in sight.

I confirmed the eyes, and it was the same confused person.
