In an empty training room, a tall, tendon-clad young man was venting his excess energy on a sandbag. The characteristic sandbag weighing hundreds of pounds even looked a little 'fragile' under the fierce punch of the young man.

At a rare high speed, the young man threw hundreds of punches in a row. There was a slight sweat on his forehead, but his breathing was not chaotic at all. Showed an amazing physical strength. His mood seemed to be a little irritable, and the strength in his hand continued to increase, accompanied by a loud bang. The sandbag in front of him could no longer withstand his heavy blow, and it burst open. All kinds of fills flowed all over the place.

"Can't sleep? I thought it was quiet enough. "Nick Fury came out of the darkness.

"Silence is not a requirement for sleep. I can sleep on the battlefield where the artillery is raging. But not here. ”

"Looks like you miss the years of war."

"When I woke up, I was told that the war was over and that we had won. You know, I wasn't happy at the time. Because what I really hope for is that the war never happened, you know? I don't miss any war. ”

"I see what you mean. But most of the time, the situation in this world will not be transferred by our will. Even after the end of World War II, in other corners of the world, the war never stopped. And now we will face a new war. ”

"Is there going to be a war? You're here to enlist me? ”

"Almost, but it's not the war you remember. We're not going to face the Nazis either? It's something more secretive, dangerous, unknown. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Do you remember your ring?"

......

Board of Directors of Stark Industries. Tony arrived at the venue on rare time. It's basically arguably the only time he's been on time since he became chairman of the board. Pym Technology, a company that has openly contradicted him on various occasions, has put considerable pressure on him. Tony's wisdom can crush nine out of ten technology companies in the world. But Pym Tech has always been able to keep up with him, which is obviously what makes Tony jealous.

"Tony Stark, a series of actions between you that led to a huge loss to the company. So today's board of directors will discuss whether or not to fire you as chairman of the board. Of course, you can have a final debate here. Now you can get started. ”

"First of all, I must state that all the company's best-selling new weapons and equipment are from my research and development. Even if the company's stock plummets, there is still a penny of money in your pocket. Therefore, the so-called major losses are just a reduction in the value of the superficial surface. ”

"Is this your debate?"

"Debate, no. In my company, I never had to debate. ”

Tony tore open the shirt on his chest, and a blue energy module appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"What is the root of this world's progress? Energy. From the earliest manpower, to hydropower, firepower, steam power, electricity, and then to nuclear energy. Every energy revolution is a big step forward for the world. Stark Industries missed out on all of the previous energy revolutions. But we can shape the energy landscape beyond today. ”

"Is that the Ark reactor? You've made it miniaturized? ”

"Obviously, I have made an unprecedented breakthrough at the technical level of the Ark reactor. It is no exaggeration to say that I have completely mastered everything about the reactor. ”

Tony was a little weird, after he said he was in full control of the reactor. The vast majority of shareholders showed eager expressions. But the level of excitement he imagined was far from the same. The next moment, one of the shareholders told the truth.

"This is exciting news. It gives us a place in the energy revolution of the future. Unfortunately, if you had done it a week earlier, we would have been able to take the initiative. ”

"What do you mean? The reactor should be the only one. No one else can do it. Tony had a bad feeling in his heart. But he still has faith in his work.

"A week ago, Dr. Otto Gunther Octavis, with his latest invention 'artificial sun', persuaded the government to get an order. Although we think that the performance of your Ark reactor is better than that of your opponents, the government will not slap itself in the face. The 'artificial sun' has already garnered considerable support, and the government has teamed up with Pym Industries to begin planning a new Manhattan energy network.

At the same time, Osborne has launched its own new clean energy source. A bioenergy program with genetically modified electric eels at its core. Although the energy supply rate is far less than that of the upper ark reactor, as well as the artificial sun. But it's safer and absolutely pollution-free, which brings it closer to clean energy. So it's also a strong competitor. Fortunately, we're not too late to start. With Stark Industries' heritage, it's enough to get a piece of the pie. ”

Almost all shareholders are compliant. Not a word about the impeachment of Tony seems to have been collectively forgotten.

But Tony wasn't happy. He's so proud that he never reads the news about the latest technology, because he always believes that he's the most advanced. In the past, things have always followed this pattern. But this time, Tony's pride was shattered.

He did not respond to the directors' greetings and left the company alone, returning to his private laboratory. Originally, he thought that his armor was perfect. But after the scene just now, he felt that his armor was still far behind. Almost in a short instant, he came up with more than a dozen non-conforming places. Tony ditched all harassment and returned to the study of Warframes.

Steve's Restorative Training Center. Nick Fury informed the captain of the events of New York and the existence of the Magical Council.

"So, magic, monsters, demons are all real. And we're going to war with them now? ”

"No, they're going to war with us. In the unseen darkness, a whole new war has broken out. We need you Captain. ”

"According to your theory, this should be classified information. How did you tell me so easily? Isn't that what you do? ”

"It's true that I'm a little cold about the split management, but I firmly believe that it is necessary. The world is not ready to accept the dark side of this world. But you're not the same captain. You're different from everyone else. You are a being who transcends the ages. I believe that you are also the only one who will not harm this world at any time. So, in my opinion, you have the right to know all the secrets. ”

"Okay, tell me what the task is?"

"We need to find, or rescue, or kill...... A child. ”
