Chapter 262: Long Time No See

"That's right. Dr. Banner, are you still leaving? ”

The recovered Steve Rogers digested the series of changes that had happened before, and sighed after a long silence.

"yes." Tony Stark crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, "There's not much I can do, actually. That's the Hulk, you know, after all. But General Ross won't stop there. They will continue to chase Hulk until they get him back again. ”

But there's nothing wrong with that, at most it's just a change back to the way things were. Before joining the Avengers, Banner had already been chased all over the world by Rose's team, and he must have plenty of experience to deal with it.

"On Dr. Banner's side, I'm not particularly worried. In contrast," Rogers paused, looking at Tony, "I'm more worried about your condition, Tony." ”

"Me? Are you kidding, Captain? I've never felt so good. ”

Tony said, and the sense of incongruity that came from nowhere seemed to come back suddenly. But he quickly put the unprovoked sense of abnormality behind him and said, "I'm totally fine." ”

"You've transformed your body, and you've fused your armor. That's not like it's fine. ”

"It's called a system upgrade, old man." Tony pouted with a nonchalant expression and said, "I'm well aware of my condition, and I'm fine." ”

Let's hope so.

But when he said this, Tony wasn't as unworried as he appeared. The truth is that ever since he injected the Desperate Virus and fused the system of Genesis, he had always felt that something was wrong. It's like...... It was as if someone was watching his every move somewhere.

Tony Stark's instincts weren't wrong.

At this moment, somewhere on Earth, in a dark space, his every move was clearly being watched on the blue screen. The silver robot sits in a seat in front of the monitor, elbows resting on the armrests, red mechanical eyes rolling and staring at the screen with interest.

The zoomed-in footage tracking is locked onto Tony Stark, and the bottom of the screen is noted in green letters:

"Subject: Tony Stark. System: Genesis. Status: Full Control, Standby......"

Half an hour has passed, and the search system still has not returned the results.

Michael's monitoring system can collect and integrate any information in the atmosphere such as radio waves, satellite signals, and television broadcasts, and can roughly maintain 80% of the world's monitoring range at any time, but it seems that there is still a limit after all. But that's to be expected. If anyone was really good enough to steal the Destroyer armor from Asgard's treasury (albeit while Asgard was suffering from civil unrest and was empty), that guy wouldn't have been caught by the satellite so easily.

"Sir," Shirley snapped up, "an anomalous energy response detected...... Yes, there is. ”

At the same time as she sounded the alarm, Michael was also aware. In order to prevent the invasion of the enemies on the mysterious side, he arranged several solid spell defenses in his laboratory, and it was impossible for ordinary mages to break through. In addition, he has set up a quantum interference device so that any supernatural with spatial abilities cannot teleport into the laboratory.

Michael waved his hand, casually opening a gap in his spell enchantment, and said, "Lift the guard, Shirley." Not an enemy. ”

Ripples appeared in the space, and a dark green ripple appeared out of thin air, and a figure walked out of it. He wears a green hood, a dark green cloak, and silver-white metal armor all over his body, and the iron-silver mask is quite hideous under the effect of light and shadow.

Victor von Doom. No, it should have been said by now...... Doctor Doom.

"Victor." Michael sat in the swivel chair and turned slowly, "Long time no see." ”

The surface of the earth, the headquarters of the Heavenly Sword.

"I heard that you finally asked him out to dinner?" Daisy and Wanda looked at her with a weird smile as they walked side by side in the aisle, "Okay! You actually did it. ”

"I didn't ...... Not really. Wanda looked away unnaturally, "It's not just us. Petro also went, and Gwen...... It's just an ordinary Christmas dinner. ”

"Silly girl, how can it be an 'ordinary' dinner when it comes to the boss. Do you see anyone else he's going out to dinner with in his free time? ”

Wanda thought about it, it seemed like this was really the case?

"Why do you think he agreed this time? Because you invited you, right? It means that he cares about you, at least he thinks you're special, doesn't he? ”

“...... Not really. ”

Is there such a thing? Deep down, Wanda wanted to believe it. But if you think about it carefully, even when the boss came out to eat that day, his attitude seemed to be lukewarm, neither feeling too distant but also too close. She felt like there was an invisible wall between the boss and anyone, and it was impossible to see through it.

Does someone like Michael Paso really feel that there is anyone "special" for him?

The thought made her laugh. But after thinking about it, before parting that night, he seemed to casually respond to Wanda's abrupt request. Wanda asks him if he can consider spending time together in the future if he has free time, and although he doesn't say yes explicitly, he doesn't seem to say no.

Could it be that he really thinks I'm different?

Wanda noticed that her heartbeat seemed to be unconsciously accelerating, but she didn't realize that the process of her mental activity had been unconsciously displayed on her face. Daisy laughed evilly: "Ah, it looks like there's a play, doesn't it?" ”

"What? Don't talk nonsense......"

"You know, you can rest assured that my mouth is tight......"

The voices of the two faded down the hallway.

A minute later, a shadow emerged from the black metal wall. It was a guy with a green body, a red face, and a yellow cloak. He poked his head out of the wall and looked around with a blank face, as if to make sure that no one was around, before he came out of the wall. He floated down the aisle toward the depths of the base, muttering to himself mechanically.
