Chapter 170: The Avengers Mansion (3rd Watch)

New York, Avengers Tower.

Tourists in the past two years have come to New York, and if there is no other place, they must first visit here. Although the "A" sign, which symbolizes the Avengers, has only been hung up for a short time, it has become a city landmark, a place where everyone is concerned.

The superhero team has become a household name since the alien army descended from outside the sky on the streets of Manhattan and the Avengers fought bravely and finally fought off the alien army with their indomitable will (at least the townspeople thought it was). Their popularity is so high that even the Avengers' sign is thunderous overseas, and every day people come from all over the world to stand at the bottom of the building and look up at the building.

It was originally an iconic building in New York, but it was nowhere near as famous it is now. Formerly known as the Stark Tower, it is one of the tallest buildings in the city. However, Tony Stark later felt that the conspicuous and domineering building was obviously more suitable for a superhero headquarters than an office building, so he vacated the building, luxuriously renovated it from head to toe, removed the original "Stark" sign and replaced it with a "A" sign designed by a special designer. So the building was transformed into the Avengers headquarters.

This had actually been arranged by Stark for a while, but until today, the busy superheroes have not been able to find a free time to get together. So it's only now that Tony finally gets a chance to gather everyone to the Avengers Building to show them the new headquarters.

After the Avengers first assembled to fend off the alien invasion, they also had several small collaborations, but they were all small missions that did not involve all the members. But in the course of these missions, there are some new members who have joined the alliance. Among them are former Aegis's super agents Hawkeye and Black Widow, as well as Captain Rogers' morning run to meet the veteran Falcon. And then there's Colonel James Rhodes from the Air Force, Tony's good buddy. Tony gave Colonel Rhodes a suit of gray steel armor with a variety of portable heavy firepower, codenamed "War Machine".

Oh, and Spider-Man, a good neighbor in New York who fought alongside the Kree and later joined the team by the way. At first he resisted taking off his mask, but he didn't do a good job of keeping it secret, and within a week everyone in the team knew his identity, so he had to settle down and beg everyone not to tell his aunt.

"We're going to recruit an underage child to fight? Earnest? Agent Clint Patton was incredulous.

"I was much younger than he was when I first got a gun." His partner, Agent Natasha Romanoff, shrugged his shoulders and said it wasn't too surprising.

"You're suspicious just because you haven't seen him in action." Tony patted Peter on the shoulder and said, "He's so good, if you want me to say this kid was born to be a superhero." ”

Peter puffed out his chest as if to show with momentum that he was indeed as different as Mr. Stark had complimented.

Tony showed everyone the various facilities in the building and the rooms assigned to each person. He took great care to ask someone to design a special room for each member, and there were special preparations for some of the more special people's rooms. Thor, for example, has a room that looks like a miniature version of a medieval European palace, with an antique look and a set of decorative armor on the walls.

Everyone admired Tony Stark's tycoon nature, because you could see the shadow of luxury in every corner of the room. From the ceiling to the floor to all the furniture in the room, it's hard to imagine how much money he threw to make it happen. Unfortunately, Thor himself doesn't seem to be aware of his intentions.

"Actually, in Asgard, that's not what we set up." He shrugged, but smiled heartily, and patted Tony on the shoulder, "But thank you for your kindness, my friend Stark." ”

Tony wasn't happy about not getting the compliment, and just said indifferently, "Okay, thanks for the like." ”

Then there was the captain's room. Considering that the owner of the room is an old popsicle from the last century, Tony has tried to restore the room to the style of seventy years ago as much as possible. Walking into this room is like stepping back in time, and even the chandeliers used for lighting are old styles that have long been extinct.

"Authentic, nostalgic classic." When Rogers entered, Tony leaned against the door with his arms folded and said, "Everything is familiar to you." ”

Rogers didn't answer. He fiddled with the radio on the table for a while, and at some point he touched a button, when the top of the radio suddenly deformed and opened, and a light blue projection screen jumped out. Jarvis's voice came softly over the radio, "Hello, Captain. Is there anything I can do to help? ”

Tony propped his forehead: "Okay, I mean most of the things are familiar to you...... Seriously, isn't this your superpower? How did you tell at a glance that it wasn't a radio? ”

Rogers smiled at him.

"I don't know about technology, but I know that sometimes you have to learn to use your intuition." He walked up to the door and said to Tony, "Thank you, Tony. I loved it here. ”

His expression of gratitude was so serious that Tony, who was expecting praise, even felt a little unnatural.

"Good...... Well, it's not much. Tony scratched his head, "If you like it." Let's move on. He turned to Peter, who was looking around, "Hey, kid, it's your room next." ”

"Really?" Peter suddenly felt refreshed, "What is my room like?" ”

"Guaranteed you'll like it."

......

Throughout this little tour, Bruce Banner hung at the back of the line, intentionally or unintentionally. He was a little hunched over, with his hands in his pockets, and he looked absent-minded about everything, as if he was thinking about things all the time.

"Hey, big guy." Natasha took the initiative to talk to him, "What, in a bad mood?" ”

Banner turned around and saw the red-haired beautiful Russian spy and smiled hard at her.

"Nothing."

"It's not like 'nothing' on your face." Natasha said.

Banner hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm just...... Not sure if I should be here. I've tried to stay in a lot of places before, but it didn't end well. ”

"You should know that I used to work at Aegis. Director Fury also watched your movements at that time, and you may not know it, but in fact, Aegis has always been in control of your whereabouts. I've read some of the intelligence information that Aegis has gathered, and what I've seen ......"

"It's a monster, isn't it?" Banner said gloomily, "The places you pass through are always a mess, leaving corpses everywhere? ”

Natasha glanced at him.

"Actually, I'd say a hero."

Banner looked at her in surprise.

"AEGIS DOESN'T JUST SEE THE DAMAGE HULK CAUSES, WE SEE ALL THE GOOD THINGS HULK HAS DONE. That's why S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't taken any action against you, and sometimes we've even helped you eliminate some potential pitfalls. She said, "If you want me to say, the Hulk is our luck in you." If there is only one person in the world who can tame this beast for good, it must be you. ”

Banner was silent, but his expression was complicated. By this time, Tony had finished showing everyone the break room, and everyone was leaving the room and heading down the hallway.

"Alright, keep up, big guy. You don't want to be left behind, do you? Natasha smiled and went with the group.

Maybe staying here was the right choice, maybe the Avengers were Hulk's destined destination.

Banner thought so, and his heart seemed to be relieved. He casually glanced at the large screen TV display in the lounge and couldn't help but be stunned.

He saw a woman on the TV that was supposed to be turned off. A blonde-haired, snow-white woman, dressed in green and bare-shouldered, sat seductively on a red-skinned sofa and smiled seductively at him.

Banner blinked, only to find that the TV screen was still off, and it was pitch black with nothing.

Could it be that he has been abstinent for too long and hallucinating?

Banner shook his head vigorously, shook off his unrealistic fantasies, and walked into the hallway in confusion to catch up with the group that was already gone.
