Chapter 286: Trust
"He has a girlfriend who plays the cello, has no children, and has a simple life." Standing on the edge of the deck, facing the sea breeze, Stark sighed and said to Banner on the side, "But he's too stupid to stop Loki alone." ”
"He's doing his duty." Rogers and Thor walked behind the two of them, both looking a little unsightly.
Stark turned around, clenched his fists, and said, "That's beyond his ability, he should wait for reinforcements, he should ......"
"It's all my fault, if I hadn't been fooled by Loki so easily, he wouldn't have died." Thor's face was full of self-reproach.
"It's none of your business." Rogers patted Thor on the shoulder and comforted, "Sometimes you can't help but do something. ”
"Yes, I've heard that before." Stark sneered slightly, turned around, and faced the sea breeze, a trace of sadness flashed on his face.
"Is this the first time you've lost a comrade?" Rogers could understand Stark's feelings, and he was in a bad mood when he lost his comrades for the first time.
"But we're not warriors." Tony turned his head sharply and stared at Rogers deadly, seeing that everyone else's eyes were on him, he said coldly, "I didn't plan to be at Fury's mercy." ”
"Me too." Rogers confronted everyone and said in a deep voice, "He, like Loki, is responsible for Coulson's death. But now we have to focus on the big picture, we have to find the Rubik's Cube of the universe......"
"The Rubik's Cube is in New York!" Banner, who had been sitting there without speaking, raised his head, looked at the three people and said, "Right in Stark Tower, it needs an energy source, and the Ark Reactor can provide enough energy support. ”
"Yes, this cocky bastard wants to beat us and wants the audience to witness it, and that's the case in Stuttgard." Stark walked back anxiously and said to the others who followed, "But that's just a prologue, today is the main event, he wants flowers, he wants applause, he wants iconic buildings to make his name high, that's why this bastard chooses Stark Tower." ”
If you want to set up the Rubik's Cube and open it successfully, you need not only energy, but also time.
If Tony Stark had stayed in Stark Tower, then even Loki would have been unable to place the Cosmic Cube without alarming S.H.I.E.L.D., let alone successfully opening it.
The electronic system of the Stark Mansion is all under the control of Jarvis, and if you want to bypass him and use the energy of the Ark Reactor, it is best to temporarily isolate Stark, so there is Loki's Helicarrier.
Of course, it's not just about distracting Stark, causing the Avengers to strife, and destroying the Helicarrier, it's all in Loki's plan.
"It's time for us to go!" Rogers suddenly knocked on the door of the medical room and said to Natasha and Ling Xiao inside.
"Where are you going?" Ling Xiao and Natasha glanced at each other, frowned, and asked, "You already know the location of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?" ”
"I'll tell you on the way." Instead of revealing his destination lightly, Rogers rephrased and asked, "Will you fly, Natasha?" ”
"I will!" Barton, who had just taken a shower, stepped out of the restroom and stared at Rogers.
Looking at Barton, Rogers frowned slightly, and his inquiring gaze fell on Ling Xiao on the side. Seeing Ling Xiao nodding slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, do you have your own uniform?" ”
"Yes!" Barton's eyes were on the long black box in the corner, which contained his best bow and arrow.
"Alright, put it on, let's go." Rogers didn't hesitate any longer, taking Ling Xiao, Natasha, and Barton, but Thor and Banner, who had already boarded the butterfly vehicle, joined up and left the Helicarrier, while Stark had to leave before them.
In the command hall, Fury was looking down and rummaging through Coulson's cards, suddenly, he looked up sharply, turned around, and looked at Hill, who walked behind him at some point, the guard in his eyes relaxed slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong, Agent Hill?" ”
"Director." Hill looked at the blood-stained cards in Fury's hand, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and asked in a low voice, "Those cards, they should be in Coulson's locker, how did they run into his coat?" ”
Fury didn't mind Hill exposing his lies, sighed slightly, and said, "They need some extra motivation." ”
For Fury's explanation, Hill felt uncomfortable for a while, this kind of behavior of not letting go of even the dead colleague to take advantage of it, made her a little difficult to accept for a while, but she didn't say much, Fury has his own code of conduct, and he is also thinking about the overall situation.
At this moment, the sirens suddenly sounded: "Warning, someone has taken off from the 6th tarmac without authorization." ”
Fury turned around and saw a red tail flame streak across the sky, it was none other than Tony Stark in steel armor, and at the same time, a butterfly-shaped flying machine followed, and Fury immediately realized what was happening: "They found Loki." ”
Turning around, Fury, with a condensed face, ordered to Hill beside him: "By all means, restore the communication system immediately, I will control all the situation at all times." ”
"Yes, sir." Ciel glanced at the shadow of the butterfly-shaped flying machine in the distance, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Sitting in the flying machine, Banner looked at Ling Xiao with some curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Ling, can you fly all the way from here to New York?" ”
Seeing that everyone else was looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Barely can." I may be a little faster over short distances, but long flights are not as fast as airplanes, and even if I did, my energy would be depleted, far less than waiting for work. ”
"I see." Banner nodded a little understandingly, Ling Xiao looked very powerful, but the energy in his body was not as endless as Hulk or the Ark Reactor, but it had a limit.
"Doctor, so Loki's target has always been Tony?" Ling Xiao looked up sharply and looked at Dr. Banner.
"Well, that's how it should be." Bruce Banner nodded and whispered, "The Ark Reactor can provide a steady stream of high-density energy, which can make the portal bigger and last longer. ”
"But it's impossible for him to use the Ark Reactor to heat the Cosmic Cube to 100 million degrees." Ling Xiao clearly remembered what Dr. Banner had said, and he wondered not that Loki was eyeing Stark Tower, but how Professor Shagway had stabilized the quantum tunneling effect.
Loki came to the Helicarrier, in addition to attracting Stark's attention, causing the Avengers to fight among themselves, and destroying the Helicarrier, there must be other purposes, but he couldn't figure out what this purpose was.
"Maybe there's something else." Dr. Banner frowned, he couldn't figure it out for a moment, if Loki couldn't solve it, then they had a chance to stop Loki before he could open the portal.
Barton and Natasha thought about the same problem, and their eyes couldn't help but light up, maybe things weren't the worst yet.
Looking at the expressions of the two people, Ling Xiao shook his head secretly, it was obvious that there were some things that the two of them didn't know, even if Barton had participated in the research project of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but he was only in charge of security work, and he didn't grasp some core issues at all.
S.H.I.E.L.D. must have its own way to open the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and Loki must have borrowed the method of S.H.I.E.L.D., and finally provided enough high-density and stable energy by the Ark Reactor to make the space portal bigger and last longer, so that Loki could let more Chirita people enter the earth.
Unfortunately, Nick Fury never got the question up, and Loki must have gotten what he wanted on the Helicarrier.
