32. Superhero Registration Act

Compared to the bustling and crowded Manhattan, Washington, D.C. is more orderly, with no dense skyscrapers, intricate cobweb-like highway passages, and more monumental historical monuments such as the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Capitol and so on.

If New York is a modern metropolis, it is more like a witness to the history of the United States.

In a deserted café, Steve, dressed in casual clothes, and his new friend, Sam Wilson, are looking up at the news on the TV, almost half a month after the chaotic struggle of S.H.I.E.L.D.

With Nick Fury's whereabouts unknown and Alexander Pearce's assassination, the White House and the military stepped in in a legitimate name to set up a special unit to station S.H.I.E.L.D., headed by General Thaddeus Ross, personally appointed by the newly appointed Mr. President.

As soon as General Ross took office, he canceled the wanted order for Captain America, declaring that war heroes should not be treated in this way, which gave S.H.I.E.L.D. members loyal to the Nick Fury faction a glimmer of hope.

It's a pity that this military boss, the next series of actions surprised everyone. General Ross, who became the supreme commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., began a thorough internal purge, which was even more intense than Alexander Pierce's, and could be called an unprecedented reform and blood change.

A dedicated law enforcement agency has been set up, led by Ambrera's umbrella squad, and the mutant legion plus super-soldiers injected with human enhancement potions have greatly enhanced the overall strength of S.H.I.E.L.D., and any dissenting field agents or high-ranking personnel are all under control.

A special investigation into the previous Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, was launched, and it was determined that the other party had secretly made dealings with the mercenary group that hijacked the Lemuria Star, and illegally engaged in illegal activities across the World Security Council, calling him a traitor and officially placed on the wanted list.

If Alexander Pierce were still alive, it would have been found that everything General Ross did was obviously premeditated, Hydra eliminated Nick Fury's descendants, and the government strengthened its control over S.H.I.E.L.D., gradually controlling the hidden forces of Hydra hiding in the shadows, similar to John Garrett and Grant Ward, undercover agents were swept away one after another.

"Not ready to go back to S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Sam asked.

This black man is a new friend of Captain America, who served in the 58th Division Airborne Rescue Unit and carried out the EXO-7 Falcon Classified Program, but later chose to retire due to the tragic death of a wingman pilot, and is currently working in the Veterans Service.

"It's become a government-controlled intelligence agency, and I don't need to go back." Steve picked up the glass, the black liquid becoming extra bitter in his mouth, "I'm tired of these days. ”

"What do you think of the upcoming registration bill in Congress?" Sam looked worried.

The world seems to have changed all of a sudden, and superheroes who were popular a second ago are now subject to government control.

Two weeks ago, General Ross, who took over S.H.I.E.L.D., officially proposed the "Superhero Registration Act" to the White House, which instantly aroused surging public opinion, various controversies broke out one after another, and the Avengers became the first focus.

According to the original timeline, this should have been Tony Stark who created "Ultron", which led to the outbreak of the Sokovia crisis, which led to the peak of government and public dissatisfaction with superheroes, and thus enacted this bill.

But due to the influence of the butterfly effect, the development of the timeline has quietly changed, there is no "Ultron" belonging to Tony Stark, and the Sokovia crisis no longer exists, but the government's dissatisfaction with S.H.I.E.L.D. and superheroes has always been there, and the existence of the latter is itself a kind of anarchy, and people are reminiscent of the previous Hulk World War, where many superheroes returned home, causing a lot of economic and property losses and casualties.

So when the "Superhero Registration Act" was proposed, it received a lot of recognition, its influence continued to expand, public opinion fermented for a long time, and superheroes were pushed to the forefront for a while.

Captain America watched the buzz on the TV screen, the front of Capitol Hill was crowded with reporters and onlookers, and many senators said in front of the cameras that superheroes should indeed be controlled and restrained in order to avoid unnecessary casualties and losses.

"America has been through so many misfortunes that we should start thinking...... The existence of superheroes, whether it is hope or disaster! "There is a heated debate in academics.

“…… They save us, but they can't save us every time. Superheroes are like weapons, firearms should be regulated, and they must be restrained. A senator voiced his opinion.

"Playboy puts on steel armor and becomes a hero? A bunch of transvestites are flying over our heads, and it should be the government, not an individual organization, that can protect us! The Daily Clarion ran a front-page headline titled "Who Will Supervise the Avengers."

“……”

Sean, who is in the Bustek Mansion, sees all this, Hydra has lost its bearings, S.H.I.E.L.D. is leaderless, and the chaos needs someone to put order back in order.

He is like a chess player sitting in front of a chessboard, like a puppet, driving the plan, solving two huge hidden organizations, and then controlling the superhero, and then the world is unhindered.

Everyone thinks they see the truth, but they don't know that there are other people sitting behind the scenes manipulating the situation and fiddling with public opinion. After suffering many disasters and attacks, the people of this land only longed for a peaceful and stable life, but in this new era of superpowers, superheroes are also beginning to run for their lives.

They are not omnipotent gods, they can't save everyone, from the beginning of worship, cheers, and admiration, to the current disappointment, resentment, resentment, the inferiority of human beings in their bones, so that they always blame the problem on others, but rarely reflect on themselves.

Therefore, the avengers were spurned and blamed, just like the usual masses sneered at the government, those who suffered misfortune always had to find an outlet for their emotions, and coincidentally, superheroes were pushed up by public opinion and became the target of fire.

Looking at the increasingly lively scene in front of Capitol Hill, Sean's eyes were calm, all of which he expected, the power of the individual to save the suffering people, the oppressed weak, the women and children who could not resist - but not to change the world.

Sometimes, perhaps, superheroes are the source of chaos, attracting challenges, sparking conflicts, and breeding disasters. The world needs order, not freedom.

In another world, even if the children of Krypton try their best to show kindness to humans, they are still rejected by some people, and the light of the sun will certainly make people feel warm, but in the eyes of those who are dark in their hearts, it is extremely dazzling.

"It's getting better and better." A faint smile appeared on Sean's face.

He took the warm milk and the bread that had just come out of the oven and made his way to the bedroom, where a female agent was waiting for him all night.

In the future, Sentinels will be the saviors of all mankind, and Sean will be the founder of the new world.

Rome in my mind is gradually being built.
