Eastern Europe, Sokovia, Hydra Research Base.

This is a hidden valley, and even a reconnaissance plane flying over it will not be able to detect the Hydra Corps stationed in it.

Hidden in the outer woods are a number of Hydra-set safety checkpoints and fortifications, and castle-like buildings are built around the top of the hill along the road.

Inside the tallest building, Quicksilver looked up at the man on the high platform with his back to him...... Baron Straker, now the supreme leader of Hydra.

The interior is a little strangely arranged, the walls are covered with silver-gray humanoid armor, and it seems that it is a war weapon produced by imitation of Iron Man, but it is unknown if it can be used......

As soon as he saw these mechs, Quicksilver couldn't help but think of the name "Stark", which was the beginning of one of his tragic memories......

"Wanda still hasn't heard from you?" After a few more moments, Quicksilver finally couldn't help but say.

"There hasn't been any news since she and the demon disappeared in New York that day, and yesterday, your sister and the demon appeared together in a small town outside of New York." Baron Straker waved his hand, and the video played on the screen next to him.

"This is the surveillance video of the scene, she and the demon are very close, the two of them are holding hands and shopping, I have seen the bill, they are buying daily necessities, like a newlywed couple......" Baron Straker turned around and smiled at Quicksilver, "They also taught the criminals who robbed the department store together, it seems that your sister has changed sides." ”

"No, it can't be true!" Quicksilver looked at the surveillance video, his face full of disbelief, "Wanda, she must have been controlled by a demon!" ”

"It's her unique ability to control other people's minds, and someone else can control her?" Baron Straker laughed, "And I only see happiness on her face, I have never seen that smile on her face, I believe that even you, as her brother, have not seen such a heartfelt smile in a long time?" ”

"You ran all over New York to find her, but your sister fell in love with the devil......"

"Shut up!" Quicksilver yelled at Baron Straker, which was a heavy blow to him, "This can't be true!" They've only known each other for a few days, and it's a demon who kidnapped her......"

Baron Straker only smiled faintly, and after a moment Quicksilver turned to leave, but was stopped by Baron Straker.

"We sent information from our undercover agents in S.H.I.E.L.D. that the secret base for studying the Cosmic Cube was destroyed last night, and now S.H.I.E.L.D. has lost the Cosmic Cube and the Cosmic Cube has fallen into the hands of demons...... I have a hunch that a war is about to happen. ”

"What does that have to do with me?" Quicksilver turned around and said.

"Aren't you going to New York too, I'm just reminding you ......"

"You want me to snatch the Cosmic Cube from the demon? It's impossible, in the field of speed that I do best, the demons have surpassed me, and I have no power to fight back in front of him. Quicksilver interrupted, and although he hated demons, he wouldn't deny their power.

"No, demons have never been Hydra's enemies!" Baron Straker said seriously, "If it weren't for the stupid Pierce ordering the Helicarrier to attack and kill the demons, the 'Project Insight' would have succeeded, and now Hydra has conquered the whole world!" ”

"But he turned around and destroyed your plans, and Pierce died at his hands......"

"The demon is not a good partner to work with, but a strong partner to work with! Besides, he now has a cosmic Rubik's Cube. Baron Straker raised his mechanical right paw, "Hydra rarely cooperates with people, and never suffers...... I'm telling you this, just to tell you not to provoke the demons, it will be in vain, and Hydra will not help you in this matter. ”

Quicksilver stared at Baron Straker, "Wanda is still in his hands...... She's my sister, how much have we done for you over the years? How many dangerous missions have you performed? Now that Wanda is in crisis, are you going to abandon her? ”

"That's to fulfill your value, Hydra has never lacked heroic agents!" Baron Straker looked down at Quicksilver, his eyes full of indifference, "And now that she's safe, she's in love with a demon, and if a scarlet witch can get the devil's help, no one will refuse this bargain." ”

"Buying and selling? Hydra: All people are commodities you can dispense with? Quicksilver said angrily.

"Of course!" Baron Straker held his head high, "If that will fulfill my plan." ”

As he took a deep breath, Quicksilver's chest rose and fell violently, and he knew that everything he said was in vain, so he turned and left.

"I warned you...... Pietro! Baron Straker shouted at his back.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. is located in a secret base in eastern New York.

"So you're ready to join the Anti-Demon Alliance now?" Falcon excitedly said, "Mr. Stark, the science and technology you have will become the main force for destroying demons!" ”

"Retired soldier, your learning ability is very good, and you have learned to demagogue after a few months with the American team." Tony mocked, continuing to operate in front of the screen.

This is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s office dedicated to Tony, filled with various instruments and supercomputers, and holographic screens hanging all over the walls, enough to help Tony with his daily work and research.

"So what's the answer?" Falcon asked.

"Underground, I fired all the power at the demons, and I used all the weapons except the missiles, and I remember you were there." Tony raised his hands and made a gesture of firing the palm cannon at the falcon, "Honestly, if it weren't for the lack of choice, who would want to join your stupid organization?" Except for you crazy people......"

"Great, Mr. Stark! From now on, we will be teammates in the fight against demons, and the captain will be happy to know the news! Falcon excitedly said, "So can you help me upgrade my jetpack?" I've always felt like the rebuilt Wings of Steel didn't fit well......"

Tony was speechless and turned around and lowered his head to tap on the virtual keyboard, "Jarvis, has the shoulder bullet been replaced with a tranquilizer bullet?" ”

"It's been replaced, sir!"

"Okay, the next time I see Legolas, remind me to shoot him in the ass!" Tony said with a grudge.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Hill and the American team stood outside.

"Gentlemen and girls, can you knock on the door next time?" Tony said dissatisfied, "Companies that don't pay attention to employee privacy will have all kinds of contradictions. ”

"I'm sorry Mr. Stark, I'll pay attention next time." Hill clasped his hands and said, "Can you put your work down for a while?" Wait a minute, a new friend will come and greet you? By the way, there will be an all-hands meeting. ”

"No problem, Madam Commander." Tony took off his glasses and put them on the table, "It just so happens that I have a new friend coming to me too." ”

"Sam!" The U.S. team beckoned the falcons to follow.

The four of them walked through the passage and made their way to the elevator, a secret base built 100 meters below the ground for confidentiality and security reasons.

"Are you still used to staying here? Mr. Stark. Ciel asked casually.

"It's not bad, the internet is very good, I can also repair my armor, the lounge and activity room are very spacious, but it's a little stuffy."

"That's good, you're going to be here for a long time, and hopefully you'll get used to it."

"No, it won't be long, you may never get the Cosmic Cube back, but I won't stay in this basement forever." Tony refused.

"Both your residence and Stark Mansion are dangerous, and demons can come to your door at any time." Team America chimed in.

"Then let him come!" Tony was adamant, "I can't move everything I care about underground, demons can always threaten me, and this isn't necessarily a safe place......"

"That's your Freedom Mr. Stark, and you can always contact us for help even if you're out." Hill said.

"Thank you!" Tony shook his head and said.

Seeing the opportunity, Falcon interjected, "Captain, Commander Hill, what conclusion did you and the bigwigs come to in a secret meeting just now?" Do we still have reinforcements? ”

The U.S. team set their sights on Hill, who said, "The meeting just now has nothing to do with the ......war caused by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube."

"And what did you talk about?" Tony's face was also full of hell, "The demon may use the Cosmic Cube to destroy the earth, and now there is something more important than this?" ”

"Ever heard of what happened at Osborne House on Christmas Eve?"

"You mean the 'Light' incident?" Tony looked at Team America.

"'Holy Light'?" The U.S. team was a little confused.

There are many such names, such as God's gift...... It's all the same thing. Hill nodded.

"Well, it's the 'Light' incident, which saved a lot of people on Christmas Eve, and the dignitaries regret why they didn't put their home on South 54th Street, within a kilometer of the Osborne Building."

"So that they can also bathe in the 'light'? Thus eliminating all ailments. Clever Tony understood everything in an instant.

"Dignitaries from all over the world unanimously asked us to find the boy who was standing next to Spider-Woman that night." Hill said helplessly.

"Don't tell me S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't know who that boy is!" Tony said perceptively.

"Of course we do." Hill handed Tony the tablet in his hand, "But we also know that his ability can save many people, and it can also indirectly cause conflicts and even wars, resulting in more deaths......"

"No, you just have it." Tony refused.

The falcon on the side felt a little strange, "I'll come." ”

Tony's face changed slightly after glancing at the photo......

"Mr. Stark?" Falcon glanced at the photo on the tablet, "This picture is pretty handsome, too." ”

"Stark, do you know him?" Both Team America and Hill stopped and turned their gazes to Tony, and they both caught Tony's unusual reactions.

"To be exact, I don't know this handsome young man, but I only saw his information when I was investigating Spider-Woman." Tony was calm, "Ricardo· M·Luo…… I remember he's Spider-Woman's boyfriend, right? Unexpectedly, he is also a superpower, and he can also activate the amazing ability of 'Holy Light'. ”

"Yes, Spider-Woman's boyfriend, the identity can be determined with a high probability, and he is also very strong in combat, with ...... such as magic attacks," the American team introduced in detail.

But now the American team didn't listen to what Tony said, and his memory went back and suddenly thought of a certain night......

The demon says to Tony, who is drinking chlorophyll to suppress palladium poisoning, that he can cure Tony...... The image flashed, and the demon had also said that night that he had not yet reached the legal drinking age.

Tony didn't know what the necessary connection was to these things, but it could support his suspicions.

Tony's fingers slid over the workbench and slid to the last page, where Lochach's superpowers description and guess synopsis:

Holy Light: Powerful restorative that can heal people who are dying or sick.

Telekinesis or some kind of magical energy: can act on the target to attack, easily take out Captain America and Black Widow, and violently dismantle a Glock pistol......

"Maybe you can add a lot more to the 'ability' section," Tony said, taking a deep breath, "maybe he'll shoot lasers or something......

"What?" Team America looked at Tony.

"Uh...... I'm just talking about it, it's all speculation. Tony smiled.

The group came all the way to the elevator, and after the elevator started, it slowly rose, and while feeling the overweight feeling when the elevator accelerated, Tony suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Captain, you collected information about this boy, could it be ......?"

"You're really smart, Mr. Stark!" Falcon chimed in, "The captain has held a special meeting for this before, and everyone feels that the Anti-Demon Alliance needs Lochael, and even the arrogant Thor is 100% in favor of the captain's proposal, but it seems that this is not a simple matter, and the more capable people seem to have character flaws...... Sorry I didn't say you Mr. Stark, I meant that Lochach doesn't have a philosophy of justice. ”

The U.S. team nodded to confirm the falcon's claim, "Do you have any different opinions?" Mr. Stark. ”

Tony shook his head, and he smiled instantly, but it seemed to have a slight reluctance in that smile.

"Great!" Tony patted the American team on the shoulder and said, "I'm sure everyone will agree with this, right?" I'm no exception, and this is the right thing you've done as the leader of the Anti-Demon Alliance! ”

"Stark, I'm not the leader, the Anti-Demon Alliance is absolutely democratic, and I think you'll do better than me......"

"I have character flaws, I've said it many times, and everyone knows it." Tony was a little excited, "Then let the new members take on the responsibility of leadership, right?" ”

"Spider-Woman?" The U.S. team seems to be really thinking about this, "She's a good fit, smart and witty, she has a sense of justice and responsibility, and she has the basic qualities of a leader, but she still needs to learn, learn how to manage a team or make a battle plan or something......"

"No, no, no, I'm talking about Lo, Lochak!" Tony interrupted Team America, "I'll definitely vote for him!" ”

The elevator door opened, Tony walked out, he turned around and said, "By the way, can you still quit the Anti-Demon Alliance now?" ”
