East side of Manhattan, New York, United Nations Headquarters Building, World Security Council.

"Now that the press release on the Battle of New York has ended, the following is the question session of reporters, one by one!"

As the speaker, Tony was in control of the audience with a smile on his face, and he was familiar with the process of various presentations that Stark Industries had hosted in the past.

"Mr. Stark, a new superhero appeared in the Battle of New York, and many citizens were saved by him, and they took a picture together...... Most crucially, in the video you posted, it was he who sent the nuclear bomb launched by the military into the portal, eliminating the nuclear explosion crisis in New York. ”

As expected, the first reporter focused on the emergence of Lochach.

And through the video taken by the citizens, we can see that this superhero is very powerful, even not inferior to Dr. Bruce Banner, and finally his identity was determined to be an ordinary graduate of Midtown College of Science and Technology, which attracted the attention of many people, can the Anti-Demon Alliance reveal some information about him? What's his name? How did he become a superhero? ”

"Hmm...... Actually, I've been preparing for this for a long time, but I'm sorry we don't know much about him. Tony paused, "I invited him to today's press conference yesterday, and now he doesn't seem interested in this kind of occasion......"

The reporters and staff laughed as Tony continued to talk about the prepared manuscript.

"He's not only powerful, he's special, he doesn't wear a uniform, he doesn't wear a mask, and he doesn't have nicknames like Iron Man or Spider-Woman, we all call him Mr. Luo, it's an honorific title." Tony continued, "We don't know about Mr. Lowe's particular experience, his resume looks mediocre. ”

"Now Mr. Lo is a powerful and elegant mage, and as shown in the group photos and videos, he can easily defeat his enemies in battle, so the most he thinks about is how to keep his clothes from getting dirty, or use those cool-looking moves......

Tony stretched out his hand to suppress it, and the laughter in the arena slowly stopped.

"Although we know very little about Mr. Luo, we can be sure of one thing, he is on the side of justice!"

"Mr. Luo originally enjoyed a peaceful life, but when he saw the Zetarians invading Earth, he did not hesitate to contribute his strength. He was the main force in this war, and in the end, it was Mr. Luo who found a way to close the door of space and then took the risk to deliver a nuclear bomb......"

I don't know who applauded first, and then thunderous applause swept through the venue, and Tony could only wait for the applause to subside.

"So I suggest that you don't disturb Mr. Luo's quiet life!" "This is not a suggestion, but a warning, and although Mr. Law believes in justice, he has a bad temper...... If he's dating his girlfriend and you're sneaking out in the green belt to film their kiss, someone is going to be miserable! ”

When the room was quiet again, Tony picked up the next reporter.

"I would like to ask the lady a question...... I remember you, at the press conference where I announced that I was Iron Man! ”

"Because I'm wearing the same clothes as I did that day, Mr. Stark!" The female reporter took the microphone and said, "Has Mr. Luo joined the Anti-Demon Alliance?" ”

"Unfortunately, not at the moment." "But we're working hard to get there, and we're confident because the Anti-Demon Alliance already has some advantages......

"I would like to take this opportunity to announce that after the war, Dr. Banner and Spider-Woman have decided to join the Anti-Demon Alliance......"

……

In the break room, Team America and Agent Coulson sat opposite each other, and Tony on the screen on the side talked eloquently, and he could answer every question perfectly.

"Are those details really appropriate to inform the media?" Coulson said with some skepticism.

"I thought it was allowed by S.H.I.E.L.D......." Team America shook their heads, "but it's also in line with Tony's character, he's always been a maverick." ”

"No, no, no, captain, you are all quite stylish!" Coulson laughed and said, "I've learned my lesson, and I didn't prepare a statement for Mr. Stark this time, because that would just be a waste of my time." ”

"I'm sorry for what happened last time, Agent Phil......"

"No need to apologize Captain, for the sake of your signature on the card album you gave me, if you serve as the official spokesperson next time, I will continue to write a speech for you." Coulson said with a smile.

"Maybe there won't be that chance...... Team America said with a smile.

"Captain, have you decided?" Coulson was a little surprised, "It was just a mistake......

"Don't try to persuade me anymore, Agent Phil." The American team interrupted, his head lowered and his emotions suddenly became a little low, and those indelible images resurfaced, and the American team rubbed his temples vigorously with both hands.

Coulson was a little overwhelmed as he slowly got up and left the lounge. Maybe it's better to have the U.S. team alone at this time.

Ten minutes later, the door to the lounge was pushed open again.

"The press conference is over, and now I finally have time to eat that barbecue!" Tony walked in, he looked at the back of the American team and said, "And that kid actually released my pigeon!" ”

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, he looked down at the sculptures and statues in the garden that had been donated by various countries, and his eyes fell on the famous sculpture "Forged Swords into Ploughshares".

"Mr. Luo also did not promise to participate in this press conference."

"So let me deal with those reporters alone!" Tony grumbled, and he walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and stood side by side with Team America.

"Thor is returning to Asgard, Barton is an agent, Spider-Woman's identity is kept secret, Dr. Banner is destined to stay away from the crowd, and this kind of job will be up to you in the future, Tony."

"What about you?" Tony sensed something was wrong, "Captain America, you announced the establishment of the Anti-Demon Alliance in the first place. ”

"They call me Captain Demon......," Team America smiled and shook his head, "I'm not fit to appear in the public eye anymore, and now every action of the Anti-Demon Alliance will receive the attention of the media and the public, so I have decided that I will quit the Anti-Demon Alliance." ”

"Because of that defeat?" Tony was a little incredulous, "You single-handedly created this alliance, fight the demons, and protect the earth!" ”

"Seventeen innocent people, I have never really looked directly at the wrongs I have committed......"

"That's the devil controlling you!" Tony said loudly.

"I killed them with my own hands, and now I have a clear memory." The U.S. team closed their eyes and said, "There was no fear on the faces of those officers before they died, only surprise, and the civilians were still shouting my name after they fell to the ground......

Tony was silent, he didn't have this experience, but he could feel the despair and remorse.

"I've decided to quit the Anti-Demon Alliance and become a wanderer...... Like Spider-Woman, eliminating sin on the streets and helping civilians may be the reason for my existence, and after finding Natasha, my first stop is Berlin. The American team turned to look at Tony and said, "Of course this is not a retreat, Steve Rogers will not be a deserter, if there is another war like an alien invasion, or if this alliance is in crisis, I will come back." ”

"What are you kidding, you're the leader of the Anti-Demon Alliance!" Tony's expression was wonderful, "I'm very busy, in addition to managing Stark Industries, I also have to conduct scientific research, upgrade steel armor, make spaceships and interstellar weapons, you don't want to dump the alliance affairs on me!" ”

"I'm sure you'll be a good leader, and you'll be good despite your character shortcomings. And the Anti-Demon Alliance doesn't have much business, and most of the current work is related to Mr. Luo, as well as finding Natasha. Team America patted Tony on the shoulder, "There are no more demons on Earth, maybe this alliance should change its name, and the Avengers will be very good." ”

"Who knows, if the demon comes back one day, it doesn't have to be ......," Tony muttered.

"Then I'll be back!" The U.S. team raised its fists, "Settle the old accounts together." ”

The American team turned to leave, leaving Tony standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in deep thought.

"Don't forget the rotisserie party!"

……

At night, the Stacy family's dining table was unusually quiet, no one spoke, and the sound of silver knives cutting on porcelain plates could be heard clearly.

Mrs. Stacey deliberately turned off the television, and her younger brothers, Howard and Angus, were not affected, and their eyes were glowing as they stared at their sister Gwen. George was eating his dinner earnestly, but it was not difficult to tell from the deep look in his eyes that he was thinking about something.

Gwen was so engrossed in the broccoli that she almost buried her head in her plate. But what should come will always come, and no parent can remain calm after knowing that their daughter is dating a superhero...... Gwen was already thinking about what it would be like when Spider-Woman's identity was revealed.

"Gwen, shouldn't you explain it to us?" Mrs. Stacey began by saying, "Something about 'Mr. Lowe.'" ”

"So what is said on the Internet is true?" Howard said excitedly, "Your boyfriend is the superhero Mr. Luo?" ”

"He can do magic, doesn't he?" Angus also said, "Like Harry Potter!" ”

"He can fly, he can manipulate objects, I've seen the video!" Howard shouted, "Mr. Lo is more powerful than Captain America and Iron Man......"

"Quiet Howard." Mrs. Stacy looked at Gwen again.

"Actually, I didn't know at first, when I met Lochach, he looked like an ordinary person, and we got along like ordinary people...... Until one day, I discovered his superpowers, also not long ago. Gwen explained.

"Yesterday we were shopping, and suddenly the Zetarians started to invade the earth, those aliens were fierce and cruel, causing destruction and massacre along the way, and we saw many citizens killed because of this, so Loxia decided to use her power to protect the ...... ordinary citizens"

"It sounds a lot like your style." George chewed on the steak, and he couldn't help but interject, "If Loxia chooses to hide his power, he won't use it easily." ”

"Well, it's my style, I've been persuading him to do this, and let him protect everyone from hiding his power......" Gwen covered her face with her hands, "and sure enough, there was a lot of trouble." ”

Mrs. Stacey also looked at Gwen with some concern: "Gwen......"

"In this day and age, people with superpowers are lucky, but often the people around them will suffer misfortune." George put down his knife and fork and said pointedly, he looked at Gwen.

Gwen could certainly understand what her father George meant, and these questions were still her worries, and she was afraid that if Spider-Woman's identity was revealed, the criminals would take revenge on her family.

But now this risk is much smaller, and when those with bad intentions know the identity of Spider-Woman, they will also know that Mr. Luo, who repelled the alien army, is Spider-Woman's boyfriend, so their concerns will be much greater.

Except, of course, the lunatics and outlaws.

Even Gwen has always suspected that Loxia is exposing her superpowers in order to protect her...... Other than that, there is no reason for this.

This couldn't help but make Gwen teary-eyed, although Loxia said that she did not support her to be a real superhero, but when Gwen joined the Anti-Demon Alliance, Loxia did her best to provide her with shelter......

"Don't worry, Mom, Losha will protect me." Gwen took Mrs. Stacy's hand and said, "He's strong enough, didn't you see the media say that Dr. Banner wasn't as strong as him." ”

"He's strong, but you're vulnerable, and there's no way Roschach can be with you twenty-four hours a day." Mrs. Stacey shook her head.

Gwen thought to herself, she was no ordinary little girl, she was a real superhero...... And it's the kind that will offend a lot of evil forces and criminals, and it should be that she brings trouble and danger to Loxia.

"Uh...... It's not necessarily impossible, it's just that couples also need private space, and I'm going to move out when I go to college......" Gwen observed her parents' expressions and said, "Loxia doesn't have that much sense of justice, he's not interested in fighting criminals and getting justice, that's not his job, so he won't make enemies with people, and the danger is very small." ”

"Be careful with your superpowers, this is the right value, much better than Spider-Woman!" George nodded. "But even if you don't participate in the struggle, you have superpowers that attract hatred."

Gwen could only be silent, although she was very unhappy about George's evaluation of Spider-Woman, she was not easy to refute now.

"Gwen, it's been a long time since Loxia has come to the house for dinner." Mrs. Stacy said.

"For a long time? A week? Fortunately, Gwen had already thought of an excuse, "He's busy with further education, and he may not have time to ...... these days."

"Like they're avoiding us...... "Lady Stacy said, "and superheroes need to go to college, too?" I thought he would wait until he graduated from high school to join the Anti-Demon Alliance, maintain world peace and save the planet or something. ”

"The Earth is safe now, Mom! He has no intention of joining that organization for the time being. ”

"Which college will Locha apply to?"

"Imperial State University, the same school as me."

"Imperial State University? It was a difficult school to apply to, and I remember his grades as if ......"

"Mr. Tony Stark will write him a letter of recommendation......"

Gwen and his mother were chatting, and suddenly George asked aloud, "Gwen, do you remember the two genetic mutations that appeared in your school?" A rhinoceros, a wolf, the day I remember you and Loxia at school. ”

"It had nothing to do with Lochael, we were watching a baseball game." Gwen explained, "The New York War was his first time using his superpowers in public, and he had been cautious before that......

Gwen naturally knew what his father, Director George, wanted to ask, and now the death of the rhinoceros and jackal is still an open case, and the police have not yet found the real murderer.
