Chapter 228: Engagement

Two months later, Skull Island.

At this time, the construction of Skull Island has basically been completed, whether it is the interior decoration or the outdoor lawn and trees, all of them have been completed. Even the portal area on the side of the base has all been hung up with portals that lead to the world. However, due to safety concerns and energy consumption, these portals are usually semi-closed, which means that the size has been adjusted to the smallest size, which is about 0.01 mm in diameter.

However, although the Avengers base on Skull Island has now been built, it has not yet been announced that it will officially start operating. The reason is simple, because although Tony does not admit it, in fact, the current Avengers are nominally owned by S.H.I.E.L.D. So in essence, this Avengers base on Skull Island is not legitimate.

But for this, in fact, neither Clark nor Tony will mind. The reason why this place hasn't opened yet is simple, it's because there are so few people. There are only 8 Avengers members in the official or private opinion, namely Clark, Diana, Tony, Banner, Thor, Steve, Natasha and Barton.

Among them, Steve, Natasha and Barton are almost S.H.I.E.L.D. people, Thor is in Asgard, and Banner can be considered on Clark's side. In this way, there are actually only 4 people who will move here, so Clark and the others have not officially announced the Avengers base on Skull Island.

But now Tony has begun to recruit some capable people in the outside world, but not to recruit Avengers, but to recruit some peripheral staff. Not to mention the rest, those portal sites located all over the world also need to be guarded by people.

At least you can't find out that the building on the other side of the portal is already occupied by homeless people when you need to use it.

And at the same time, Tony is also pushing his 'friends' within the U.S. government, if nothing else, to make the U.S. government take the lead in recognizing the independent legitimacy of the Avengers. At least no longer being attached to S.H.I.E.L.D., which would make Tony feel like he's working for someone.

But even though everything isn't ready yet, Skull Island is a bit of a buzz today. Because today is the day of Clark and Diana's engagement, although out of a low-key principle, Clark did not invite many people. In fact, strictly speaking, Clark doesn't know too many friends, after all, everyone's level is completely different.

But today, a lot of people come here to celebrate Clark and Diana's engagement. For example, old Kent and Mary's relatives and friends, there are a lot of people here. The second is some acquaintances of S.H.I.E.L.D., who only refer to Coulson's team, and the rest are the rest of the Avengers.

As for the rest of his high school and college classmates, Clark didn't invite any of them. Because when he was in school, Clark was a relatively lonely person and had no friends.

And because those relatives of Clark's parents actually don't know that Clark is Superman, after all, for ordinary people, if there is no professional instrument for comparison, Clark and Superman with eyes are completely two people.

So when I invited them to come, Tony's plane was made directly and came through the portal from the sky. Unbeknownst to them, they were on a legendary island, and thought it was just a private island of Clark's friends.

And before today, Clark had already warned the two monsters, King Kong and Godzilla, to hide in the depths of the island and not to come out today. And also clean up the strange animals and plants near the base, or drive them away, in short, no one is left.

As for the others, there is a portal on the roof of the Stark Tower and inside the Trigram Wing Base of S.H.I.E.L.D. So they can come directly and it's still very convenient.

"Congratulations!" When Coulson arrived, he congratulated Clark and then handed him a gift.

"The salary is relatively low, so it's not a valuable thing, but this is what our team has chosen for a long time."

"Then I'll have to take a good look at what it is, by the way, there's a newcomer to your team?"

After Coulson's team showed up, Clark saw an unfamiliar face inside. It's a beauty, and it looks a little bit of Asian blood, so it should be a mixed race.

After hearing what Kra saw, Coulson beckoned and motioned for the newcomer to come over. "Oh, by the way, let's introduce you to each other. Our new computer whiz, Skye, is a great one. ”

Then Coulson turned his head and smiled and said to Skye: "I don't need to introduce him, you are so powerful, you should know who he is, right?" ”

"Of course I know~" After saying this, Skye's voice suddenly lowered, probably remembering what Coulson had told her before, there are actually many people here who don't know Clark's identity. Then he whispered: "I'm your fan, I liked to watch Superman movies the most when I was a kid, can you sign it later?" ”

"Huh." Facing Skye's words, Clarke's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"That Skye, while I may look a little older, I shouldn't be much older than you. And those Superman movies you watch, the Superman in it shouldn't be mine. ”

"Oh, not conscious, can you give me an autograph later?" Skye felt like a little fan girl when she said this.

In fact, it's pretty much the same, after all, unlike other superheroes, DC has been promoting the character of Superman for decades. Although they didn't know that there would really be a real superman one day.

"Okay, I'll let Coulson bring it to you later."

······

Aside from Skye, Clark didn't encounter anything special throughout the engagement. At most, Tony's appearance caused a wave among Clark's relatives and friends, after all, Iron Man is not low in the hearts of the entire American, who called him the first real-name superhero.

As for Thor, he finally took advantage of Clark's engagement as an excuse to get out of Asgard. However, when he came to Clark's engagement party, he didn't wear his conspicuous Thor outfit, but brought his human girlfriend Jane to the banquet like an ordinary young couple.

Clark's engagement banquet process is relatively simple, that is, the old Kent came to the stage to announce it, and then everyone can have fun.
