Chapter 103: Avengers, Mutants
"Alright, that's the end of the call. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Next is our internal meeting. Pulling his gaze away from the beast and the wildcat's face, Stark said to Hill on the big screen, "Goodbye! ”
Hanging up the communication with S.H.I.E.L.D., Stark once again turned his gaze to the beast and the wildcat.
"I'm not lying, it's really an internal meeting next."
Everyone present knew what this Iron Man himself meant.
The two "directions" that Hill mentions at the end are related to the beast and the feral cat, respectively.
Clarley has been with mutants since she fought Twilight Vampire and Zorro in Las Vegas. So everyone is waiting for a response from Hank McCoy, the beast who is the representative of the mutants. As for Rorel......
"Lance has been sullen since his return from Latvia, and recently went to the East with a female martial artist to study the arts. Why, do you suspect that she hid it for Zorro, and even helped Zorro control the energy of that cosmic Rubik's Cube? "Wildcat, as the mentor of the Black Canary (now the word "first" is added before the mentor), of course he is on Lorel's side.
What's more, with his knowledge of Rorel, if she knew that Zorro wanted to take the energy of the Cosmic Cube for herself, she would definitely try to stop it. So he stood on Rorel's side with confidence.
At this time, he glanced at everyone present with a non-angry and arrogant gaze. He was at that age, and he started to be a vigilante more than 20 years ago, and his qualifications were there, and he really suppressed others for a while.
However, when it comes to seniority and even age, in front of someone on the scene, everyone else is just spicy chicken...... Wild cats in their fifties are no exception, and beasts that have already graduated with a doctorate in the sixties of the last century are still a lot worse. That is Captain America, who was active on the battlefield as a hero during World War II and is now in his nineties.
"We don't think so, Tate (Wildcat's middle name)." "We just thought, or Miss Lance, had seen it on Zorro, but then ignored and forgot some clues that might have been useful." If we can get her back, it might help us pursue Zorro. ”
If these words are said by others, even if it is the "master" of the Avengers, Stark, who changed the Stark Building to the Avengers Building and designed and manufactured equipment for the members, the effect will be reduced. But Captain America's words are convincing enough. At least after listening to this, the wildcat's expression softened.
"I can try to reach her. But I don't guarantee that she'll talk back, let alone that she'll come back. ”
Without waiting for the American team to respond, Stark spoke first.
"That's enough. Whether you succeed or not, you have to give it a try, right? Naturally, Stark said this to the wildcat, but Stark had already secretly instructed his intelligent butler to keep an eye on the wildcat's next moves, such as tracking the other side if it was a phone call.
With the wildcat nodding, the pressure came to the beast's side.
"Hank, we need to see Clarefrey." Captain America said.
If she was polite to the Black Canary, after all, she was a victim in her relationship with Zorro, then now the American team is more inclined to blame on the issue of Claret. Who made her appear as Zorro's "subordinate" before the Zetarians invaded Gotham!
The Beast Hank McCoy certainly knows this. He just shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "I can contact her too." As for whether she will come or not, that's not for me to decide. ”
He had the same meaning as the wild cat before. It's just that the wildcat can get a polite response, but he can't.
"Hank, you should understand that this is a big deal. We don't yet know what else Zorro will do after killing a high-ranking agent from S.H.I.E.L.D., and we'll need information about him to stop him. The last time he stole the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, you mutants were already shielding Miss Frey, do you want to do it this time! ”
And Hank is also very tough: "Declare in advance, the last time we were forced homeless by the mysterious Ambrera company. We mutants didn't get any help from S.H.I.E.L.D. or a few of you here, and it was Clarley who volunteered to join us. ”
"That's because you didn't ask us for help. And it's not like we're doing nothing, at least we've tried to go to what you're talking about Ambrera, but to no avail. So I doubt that the company really exists. Stark said, "I've heard that an unknown woman told you that the biochemical creatures were from Ambrera. Are you sure she's not taking advantage of you? You know, commercial espionage or revenge or something. ”
Hank now understands a little bit why there is a Chinese saying called "Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence".
"If that's what you're trying to say, or if that's the best excuse you've come up with, save it. We don't need to. I'm not here because we need you, we want to join you. I just think it's going to be a platform to improve the standing of our mutants in people's minds. "In fact, I didn't get any support from my countrymen when I came here. Especially Magneto. If it weren't for the fact that leading his fellow citizens to take revenge on Ambrera took most of his energy, and if it weren't for the professor to convince him, I think he would have been happy to fight for better treatment and even status for mutants in other ways - the kind you wouldn't like. Now, you still expect my compatriots to hand over Claret, who is already considered a fellow? Forget about it! ”
At this point, Hank paused, glanced at everyone present, and continued: "I'll tell Clarey that you need her to ask her some questions, but let's not say if she will respond to you, or if she knows the news that will allow you to find Zorro or even capture Zorro, there is one thing that maybe you haven't thought about, why did Zorro kill that S.H.I.E.L.D. agent?" Just because that agent is from S.H.I.E.L.D., must be an innocent victim? Maybe you don't like Zorro's style, but don't jump to conclusions. ”
In the face of Hank's words, which were not too excited, but serious, everyone else present was a little confused.
Even Stark didn't expect that before the hunt for Zorro began, there would be problems within the Avengers. However, after all, he has experienced a lot of things, and he has not said anything like "who let you join" and "we are not rare with you". (Think about the sentence Stark said to the American team in "American Team 3", "The shield is my father's and you left", do you still need to doubt it, true love!) / laughs)
"So according to your logic, the one who snatched the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is not a bad person?" Stark asked rhetorically, "In that case, I wonder if there's really only one X-gene between a normal human and a mutant." ”
At this time, the U.S. team let out an exclamation mark of "enough" and interrupted the conversation, which was about to turn into a quarrel.
"Hank, I don't think Stark's words just now meant to discriminate against you mutants." The U.S. team said, "However, just because that agent is S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't mean he's an innocent victim, but Zorro has a criminal record after all." And, even if Zorro didn't have the intention of harming anyone, even if the agent was really at fault in the first place, think about what happened in Latvia. That explosion. If I'm not mistaken, S.H.I.E.L.D. got the news that a force of sixty-two police and monks—the country's special police—had all been killed, half the city had been battered, and the entire plain had turned into a canyon. That's because the source of the explosion was in a remote place in the suburbs. Even if that wasn't Zorro's intention, what if he had a problem in Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Francisco this time? ”
Hank couldn't find a reason to refute it at all.
