Early morning.

Before dawn, a massive steel behemoth appeared in the sky above the Avengers' headquarters. The space trembled, the air flowed everywhere, the air waves weighed down the plants on the lawn one after another, the lines of steel emerged one by one, and the pitch-black huge floating carrier was lifted from invisibility in mid-air.

Iron Man jumped off the mothership first, followed by an elite squad clad in iron armor. The team's outfit resembles that of Iron Man, but is more rudimentary. They have a gray-black shell, an eagle emblem of Aegis painted on their shoulders, tail flames on the soles of their feet, and a simple curved reactor on their chests.

There is no doubt that it was their new director who personally made the equipment upgrade.

Tony fully considered the cost and process of the mass production machine, and first designed this batch of prototype armor, which was dedicated to the elite team armed with Aegis. According to his vision, he wanted to build a steel team as Aeg.i.e.l.I. aces, capable of fighting both supercriminals and frontal battles against large-scale invasions.

And now, he brought this team to the Avengers headquarters to accept orders from his superiors to solve a problem.

Tony unlocked the gate directly, motioned for the army to wait outside, and strode into the building himself. 、

When I arrived at the hall, some of the Avengers were already waiting here...... But only partially. Without opening his mouth, he could roughly guess what the rest of the situation was.

Captain America isn't here.

"There's a knock on the door, guys." Tony stepped forward and lifted his armor's helmet, "Where's the captain?" ”

"What do you say?" Colonel Rhodes clasped his arms.

Vision said, "The captain left the headquarters last night. Agents Patton, Sam, and Romanov follow him. ”

"Well, less than I expected."

Yes, Tony knew it for a long time, before he told the captain yesterday that the bill was about to go live. Because Captain America is not the kind of person who can compromise by nature, if his principles and bottom line are touched, then even if the other party is the United Nations and the government, he will resist to the end.

Now he's gone, taking a few other Avengers with him, even if their status goes from heroes to wanted.

Tony said as he walked out, "Ciel, the target is gone, the captain is no longer here." Ready to issue wanted ......"

"Mr. Stark." Peter spoke suddenly.

Tony paused: "What's the matter, kid?" ”

"Are we really going to catch the captain?"

Tony turned.

"Do your part, kid." He didn't answer directly, "I'll let you know if there's a mission." ”

He left, but did not give a definite answer. Or rather, he just made the doubts even worse.

What is the right thing now?

Peter felt as if he was no longer so sure.

***

Washington, D.C., midday.

"This is not what we initially expected." A lawmaker at the table said, "The introduction of the bill has been controversial enough in its own right, and the last thing we need now is to get out of control." ”

"You were so clear that you were in control." Another MP said, "You say that even if there is opposition, it is not a problem, at most it is just a stir by some second-rate people on the street." You said there would be no problem controlling the superheroes who were doing the street action, which is why we rushed through the bill. But look at the present? Even Captain America absconded, and took a group of Avengers with him. ”

"All of us have to admit that things have gone beyond expectations, but we all voted and it was our mutual decision. No one ever assumed that the introduction of the Heroes Act would not be subject to any controversy. But as it stands, the situation is still under control......"

"Really? I think you should look out the window and repeat your words again. ”

Everyone subconsciously looked out the window. The gates of the White House have long been blocked by marching crowds, and countless signs have been held high with various slogans. The crowd of supporters and opponents of the bill was divided into two camps and cursed, and if it were not for the control of official personnel, the scene would have escalated from words to large-scale physical confrontation.

"Captain America has absconded, and this matter must be taken seriously." Someone else said, "I think all of us here know that Steve Rogers is more than just another superhuman for us and for this country, and his choice to take sides on the other side is a unified leadership for those who oppose the bill." They will be organized, they will be an effective force, and we may not be able to deal with it. ”

The crowd was silent.

Indeed, Captain America means a lot to the country, and especially to the Super Heroes. He was the original Avenger, a spiritual leader, a legendary hero who was written into textbooks and even had his own museum. And he has such a superb status, all thanks to this country.

But the leadership is actually very helpless, and they spare no effort to package Captain America as a spiritual leader, hoping that the existence of this image can inspire the people's patriotic sentiment and increase the cohesion of the people. But all this is based on the premise that the hero is dead. Anyway, people have died heroically, and it is impossible to crawl out of the grave to ask for something from the government, so such resources do not need to be wasted.

However, the truth is that Captain America has really crawled out of the grave, and is now taking the lead in rebelling against the government. With Captain America's current influence, if he raises his arms, let alone the registration bill, the entire political world will be greatly impacted. Their all-out packaging and propaganda of Captain America's glorious life in the past have now all turned into stones to shoot themselves in the foot......

"It's true that a leader of the resistance is a completely different matter." The parliamentarians fell into deep thought.

"Then maybe, we can create a leader to come out."

Everyone turned around and found that it was Tony Stark, the new S.H.I.E.L.D. chief, who had not spoken. He sat at the end of the conference table and leaned over to look at the crowd.

"What do you mean, Director Stark?" Someone asked.

"It means that professionals do professional things." Tony got up from his seat, looked at the big guys, and said, "Just do your job." As originally planned, the bill proceeded, and all transhumans willing to accept registration were to be registered in a step-by-step manner. ”

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes.

"As for Captain America, gentlemen...... Just leave it to us Captain America. ”
