At the Avengers base on the West Coast, the captain, who had just gotten out of troublesome bureaucracy, walked into Tony with his head rubbed his head. Stark's lab. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info then he found Tony Stark, who was busy with a virtual tablet behind a pile of large quantum computers.

"Tony, what are you doing?"

The captain, who had returned from the last century, now accepted the phone directly at best, so he didn't understand the high-tech that Tony was playing with. But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, he can always use his sincere curiosity to get the answers he wants.

"I'm tweaking Jarvis's AI program, backing up his emotional thought patterns, and by the way, loading a quantum computer with a computation to see if my recent research is useful. What, are you looking for something with me? ”

Glancing at the increasingly complicated formulas and academic language, the captain answered his question decisively.

"That's right, I'd like to talk to you. About that request that Director Ross of S.H.I.E.L.D. made to us! ”

"You mean about that registration bill? What, do you have any thoughts on this? ”

As soon as he heard what the captain mentioned, Tony immediately remembered the contents, and this made him immediately stop what he was doing, and instead raised his head and looked at him seriously.

"Steve, I remember I made it clear. I support Director Ross's idea that those who have superpowers must be controlled. How many dangerous guys we've dealt with, you should understand the harm they cause! ”

"I know your concern, Tony. But you have to understand that Ross is not entirely for the safety of ordinary people. He just wants to take all the power into his hands. ”

"They represent the U.S. government, and the government definitely wants to take all the power into its own hands, especially this dangerous force. We all know how dangerous our country is right now, and it is inevitable that they will have such considerations. And I'm very sympathetic to their idea. ”

"Tony!" looked at Tony with a serious face. Stark, the captain raised his hand, but still gave up on the idea of continuing to persuade him. "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about the more important, thing about Professor Charles. ”

"Professor Charles? What happened to him? ”

As soon as he heard that it was about the most powerful psychic controller on Earth, Tony had to follow the captain and change his rhythm.

"Could it be that he's getting married? And that old woman from the FBI? It's a long overdue spring. But I know, man! Don't worry, I'll have the gifts ready with you. ”

Listening to Tony's hippie smile, the captain opened his mouth, but he forgot what he was supposed to say. It took him a moment before he reacted. Said loudly to Tony.

"Please, Tony. Can't you just be serious? This is not the time for jokes! ”

"Why, do you think Ms. McMaggot isn't that old? Come on, she's in her fifties now. Although her work on genetics makes her look a little younger, the facts are there. Oh yes. I forgot, she's quite young compared to you, old man! ”

Shaking his head, ignoring the usual ridicule, the captain directly stated the problem.

"Professor Charles asked us for help, and he wanted us, especially you, to help him with some very important issues for them."

"Me?" Pointing at himself, Tony's face was shocked. "I don't have a lot of contact with mutants, and besides, they don't seem to be short of money!"

"It's not about the money. He hopes to use your personal connections to get in touch with a few councillors. His students and compatriots are upset about the tough measures that the government is now taking to enforce the registration bill. If you can, he wants you to help him too, lobbying these people. They didn't want the muzzles of those giant robots to be aimed at them. ”

"It's easy to solve this problem!" After listening to the captain's words, Thor shook his head, showing obvious resistance. "Go to the relevant department to get a security bracelet, and with the logo of that thing, the sentry robot will naturally mark them as a security target."

"Tony!" His name was called again, and the captain's voice rose sharply. "They are not criminals, and a lot of them are children. You can't use this method to deprive them of their freedom. It's already the twenty-first century, and isn't the Americans at this time inferior to the people of my time in terms of freedom? ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Raising his hand, stopping the captain's agitation, Tony tried to express himself as best he could. "It's just a small measure for the safety of more people, and it's not going to be about freedom. I've seen those little things, and they're safe, and there's no danger at all. ”

"Security, you call that security." Hold your forehead and comb your hair vigorously. The captain had a feeling that he was about to be ignited by his own temper. "Giant robots roam around an all-age school, ready to aim their arsenal of military-grade weapons at any target that comes their way. Maybe even after a while because they didn't have a damn bracelet with them, and just pull the trigger on them. Hell, the youngest of them may not be even seven years old! ”

"Yes, I've looked up Professor Charles's students, and strictly speaking, the youngest one has just passed his fifth birthday. But so what! ”

Faced with the captain who was on fire, Thor obviously had the same impulse.

"Just because they're young doesn't mean they're not in danger. The danger is even worsening, just as a naïve ordinary child can pour boiling water into an ant's nest without changing his face, mutant children will do the same, and do it more horrively, more ferociously. They have a destructive power that ordinary children can't match. ”

"An ordinary child can be a scourge to the family's cats and dogs at most, but these children, they are enough to give a whole block of people a nightmare. Remember the report about those high-risk level mutants? An eight-year-old girl had more than thirty people slaughtered because she could visualize the monster of her nightmare. Just because she watched a boring horror movie with a group of children. ”

"Are they innocent? That's not what they intended. ”

The captain tried hard to defend the children, but even when he said it himself, he was a little aggrieved. And this change was noticed by the perceptive Tony.

"Ha, innocent. I'm afraid you won't believe it yourself. Pointing to the captain who was hesitant in his eyes, Tony's voice became more intense. Maybe their people are innocent, but their abilities are not innocent. Like a moving nuclear bomb, no one will ignore the danger. No matter how many reasons you knit, it's useless. So, that's why I support the registration bill. It doesn't matter how many ideas those bureaucrats have. But one thing is for sure, the bill limits the danger to the safest and most controllable range. As long as this plan is implemented, all risks can be monitored and controlled. On the other hand, there will be far fewer truly innocent victims. It's more important than anything else, you know? Steve! ”

As Tony's thoughts spoke, there was a sudden silence between the two of them. And it wasn't until a long time later that the captain opened his mouth.

"I know what you mean, but I still can't accept it."

"This is a blasphemy against freedom and dignity, Tony. A century ago, I fought for the freedom and dignity of the peoples of the world. Do you know, for the sake of this war, how many of us went to the battlefield, and how many of us came back alive. Just in order not to accept the dictatorship of others, young and fresh beings entrust everything to themselves. But got the idea? We've never regretted it! We fight for the well-being of the people of the world, for us and our descendants to enjoy the taste of freedom forever. But now, do you know how I feel? ”

"I feel like our blood is in vain, I feel like everything we're doing has no meaning. Freedom, dignity! It is now on the verge of being trampled on by this country, just in the name of security. ”

"Please!" Spreading his hand, Tony whispered helplessly. "They're just mutants, just in case."

"Mutants are human beings, and they are among the citizens of the United States that we protect. And, can you guarantee that they will only target mutants? Now, they can spy on all mutants under the pretext of security and want to take away their freedom. So in the future, can you be sure that they will not deprive all human beings of their freedom for this reason? ”

Ignoring Tony's obstruction, the captain said firmly.

"I'm not going to agree to the registration bill, and it makes me feel sorry for that heavy history. It's not just me, Tony. There are people in the alliance who share this idea. We are not the formula in your hands, and we don't need to be controlled by others. So, we will never give in. ”

"What the hell do you want to do, Captain!" Holding down the workbench in front of him, Tony. Stark's tone became harsh. "In three days, the president will publicly announce the bill in Washington. It will be law, not an agreement that requires your consent. If you don't agree, then you are an illegal existence for this country. Do you know what that means? ”

"I know, war!"

"Listen, Captain. The country has had enough of suffering. If you really pull her into the mud again because of this, then we can't sit together like this. We're going to be enemies, you know? ”

"I understand!" Stood up straight, like a soldier preparing to go to battle. The captain's eyes were full of realization. "If there is a real need to rely on this means to preserve freedom, then I am willing."

"I'm not going to show mercy!" Hearing such a reply, Tony suddenly shouted. And the answer he got was.

"Neither will I, Tony. Stark! (To be continued.) )
