In the conference room, Natasha felt her eyes converge, she looked at Tony and said, "You can see why I say that, it's not that I disagree with your plan." ”

"We're not going to leave Fury out this time, and he can help us with that."

Of course, Steve understood what she meant, it was nothing more than the unauthorized actions of himself and Tony before, excluding everyone else, which made Natasha feel dissatisfied, but it was only a last resort.

"That's right, I said Fury is a good comrade-in-arms, and I believe in his abilities in this kind of thing."

Tony took a sip of coffee and looked at the others, "What do you guys think about this, this matter is important for mutants." ”

John and Marcos shook their heads and said they had no opinion, and Eugene, who was sitting in front of them, said, "Your idea is to expose the laboratory?" This is indeed a good solution, after all, our power alone is meager, but at present, people have not eliminated the fear and discrimination against mutants."

He paused and said, "I'm sorry I said that, but after more than ten years of the darkest period, I deeply understand the fear and fear of mutants around me, as well as discrimination, you can get to know the poor people in the base, they are reluctant to go out of the base, a large part of the reason is the discrimination and exclusion of outsiders against them."

"I understand, and I understand what you mean."

Tony saw that he finished speaking, and then spoke, "You don't think you want to carry out the plan you just said until the discrimination and exclusion and prejudice of mutants in this world are eliminated. ”

"Yes, not everyone is willing to accept the existence of mutants, and even most people in this world, they don't want to see mutants."

Eugene's eyes were full of worry and sadness, and after so many years, he didn't think that simply speaking out through the media could make mutants turn over in this world.

"As much as I like Tony's plan, it looks perfect, and I want this to be resolved peacefully, but before we do that, we need to determine if the journals from these labs will really cause public outrage when they are made public. It will make them even more disgusted with our existence. ”

Logan. Howlett said, recalling the accident years ago, "You should all know about the professor's accident, which is listed as a wanted person in the news reports, a walking nuclear weapon.

Because they claim to the outside world that the professor has killed hundreds of people, which is not the case, and the professor's loss of control is uncontrollable and not his intention, but sometimes people don't care about the real truth.

And don't forget, if someone is on the opposite side of us, and if we want to take a step forward, they will definitely fight back. ”

“.”

Tony was speechless for a moment, both of them were right, a seemingly simple and beautiful plan was actually full of uncertainty.

Steve. Rogers also fell into a brief silence after hearing this, this question, he had thought about before, not everyone can accept mutants like himself.

Especially after so many years, the reports of various negative news about mutants have also aggravated people's prejudice against mutants to a certain extent.

He hesitated a little, but finally raised his head to look at Rojo, "Rojo, what do you want to say?" ”

Rojo was a little surprised by being named, sat upright, and said: "I don't have much to say, but one thing, to make it clear, there is no difference between humans and mutants, mutants are also humans, if you want most people to accept us, we must first make them deeply aware of this." ”

He slowed down and said, "The professor is not here, I want to explain a mistake he made back then, he emphasized the concept of mutants too much, I understand him, after all, we have more "X genes" in our bodies, but we are just human beings with superpowers, we also have ideals, humanity, family, friends, and life. ”

"Human."

Logan raised his eyebrows, hearing these words from the mouth of the young sister, he felt incredible, many people understand this truth, but few people can really say it.

Deep down, most mutants actually have low self-esteem, even if they don't say it, which is why so many mutants have psychological flaws.

However, Rojo felt completely different from him, and the teenager never hated his abilities, nor was he ashamed of his identity and the X gene in his body.

These words also moved Marcus and John.

Even Eugene couldn't help but look at Rojo, his eyes were complicated, "What did the professor teach you?" ”

"I combined the professor's philosophy."

Rojo didn't say anything, but the two words that stuck in his mind were the two words of the professor, mutation and pride, which were the words that the professor often mentioned in his papers.

However, he didn't really agree with the professor's obvious distinction between mutants and other people.

"Come on, Charles hasn't said anything like you."

Logan smiled and patted the boy.

"Boy, I was surprised that you could say these things, mutants and ordinary people really shouldn't be divided."

Tony. Stark's eyes were full of appreciation when he heard this, and after so long after he came in, someone finally agreed with his inner thoughts.

He said: "The first two are right, this matter is not that simple, it is quite complicated, but everyone here should like something that is challenging, changing people's prejudice against mutants, and it can be put into the plan." ”

In the corner, Banner, who had been silent, raised his hand and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I haven't figured out the best plan yet, but the most important thing right now is to rescue more mutants trapped in the lab," Tony said. ”

"Fury is doing this kind of thing."

Natasha said.

"I know he's good at it, and now Jarvis is able to extend the search lab's horizons to Europe and Canada, and I've promised him that I'm not going to leave him out this time."

Tony said, turning off the big screen, and said, "What should be discussed in this meeting is over, please Steve come up and explain tomorrow's task." ”

"Wait a minute, mission?"

Eugene frowned, "Before you came, you only said that you were going to have a meeting, but you didn't say that there would be a mission. ”

"Mr. Non-commissioned Officer, don't be nervous, as I said just now, the most important thing now is to rescue more poor people first."

"Another point, I didn't make it clear, it's not just mutants who are imprisoned in the laboratory, but also ordinary people, the average age is in their early tens, and the X gene in their bodies has not yet been awakened, so the top priority is to get them out of hell first."

Tony said, gesturing with his eyes that Steve could walk over to the long table and speak, and he sat back in the chair next to him.

"This morning, while conducting a search, Jarvis found a suspicious structure on the border between Canada and the United States, which is deep in the woods, surrounded by trucks and armed men, and it is judged to be a very likely laboratory."

Steve said as he showed a satellite image on the big screen, and the shadow of the building was faintly visible in the large woods.

And next to it is marked Canada, and the detailed route, even the terrain on the hillside can be seen clearly.

Eugene coughed lightly and said, "Going to Canada to carry out a mission is cross-border, which is a very inconvenient thing for us. ”

"Eugene, what are you talking about? With S.H.I.E.L.D., I think we could even go for a lap in outer space. ”

Logan. Howlett teased.

"Don't worry, you are cooperating with the Avengers now, you are half a regular army, and no one will check your documents."

Tony motioned for Eugene to reassure and let Steve continue.

"Based on the clues gathered by Jarvis, as well as some of its judgments, it believes that tomorrow afternoon will be the best time to operate, when most of the armed personnel will leave in vehicles, and that is the time when the lab guards are most vacant."

Steve drew out a picture of a blurry image of a person taken by a satellite, and he continued slowly, "I think you can help with the battle tomorrow." ”

Eugene looked at the big screen, tapped his fingers on the table, was silent for a while and nodded, saying, "No problem." ”

"Thank you."

Steve also nodded in response, "Now briefly explain the details of the mission, the scale of the laboratory this time is very large"

In the next few minutes, Steve gave a general overview of the mission.

The scale of the laboratory is larger than ever, and the goal of the mission is to try not to alarm the enemy as much as possible before approaching or joining the laboratory, so as to ensure that the enemy does not hurt the hostages in the laboratory after being provoked.

The plan is actually very simple, but it is more difficult to execute, and each member of the team needs to have super personal ability, which is why Steve and Tony will choose to cooperate with the mutant underground base.

In the end, on the mutant underground base, five candidates were finalized: Eugene, John, Marcos, and Rojo and Logan, while Eugene's deputy, Jerills, was responsible for guarding the base and did not participate in the operation.

On the Avengers side, in addition to Dr. Banner, all the staff were dispatched, plus a newcomer who joined temporarily, Sam. Wilson, with Tony's help, developed a mechanical wing, which was given the new code name Falcon.

After the meeting, Eugene and Logan are taken to the storage room, and Steve asks them to bring something back to the base.

And when Rojo was about to go for a walk by the lake outside the Avengers headquarters, Tony and Steve sandwiched him in the middle.

"I'm not a, can you stay away."

Rojo looked at the distance between the two and took a half step back.

"I'm not interested in a hairy boy."

Tony smiled and said, "But, please come with us to the office, Steve is very interested in you, he used to deal with men a lot when he was younger." ”

"What?"

Steve was stunned, he did deal with men a lot, after all, he used to stay in the army every day, but every time Tony spoke, he always gave a playful and teasing feeling.

"Whatever you're going to do, tap."

Rojo guessed the purpose of the two and followed them to the office, which was Tony's office, surrounded by glass walls, but after the glass wall was atomized, the inside could not be seen from the outside, and the super sound insulation effect could not transmit the sound.

Rojo sat down on the couch and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Rojo, stop playing riddles, you know what we want to ask, everyone knows that."

Steve and Tony sat down on the couch across from each other, and Steve, with a resolute look in his eyes, spoke first.

"Otherwise, you two don't talk nonsense, I'll tell you."

Tony was speechless, looked at Rojo and said, "When you were in New York Harbor before, you gave Steve a hard drive. ”

As he spoke, he took out a hard drive from his pocket and said: "The hard drive records evidence of an experiment against mutants, that is, the experiment log and various data archive videos, which are very complete, after verification, the laboratory really exists, the content of the hard disk is true, and it is also because of this hard disk that we have found more laboratories." ”

"Why didn't you put the hard drive out?"

Rojo wondered, from the beginning to the present, neither Tony nor Steve had mentioned the hard drive, nor had they mentioned it to Eugene and Logan.

"You admit you gave the hard drive?"

Tony asked rhetorically.

I saw Rojo nodding, he put down the hard drive, and showed a satisfied smile, "Steve, it seems that you are not mistaken, he is the mysterious person, you were actually educated by a child." ”

"Why did you choose to give it to me?"

Steve wasn't too surprised, after all, he knew it in his heart, and he just wanted to see Rojo admit it.

"Captain, I've already told you."

Rojo said.

"You think I'm a Guardian?"

Steve thought back to the conversation in New York Harbor, and now that he thought about it, he also found it meaningful, he took a deep breath, his eyes were full of emotion, and said, "Thank you, that's a great compliment, at least you haven't lost trust in me." ”

"No, it should be me who thank you, it was you who made the right decision, and it also proves that I didn't choose the wrong person."

Rojo asked, "You haven't told me why you didn't put the hard drive out." ”

"Because Nick Fury suspects that there are members of Hydra in the underground base."

Tony said directly, seeing the young man's surprised face, he simply said the information of the Hydra organization, and added, "But he didn't suspect you, although you took the box of potions, but if you were Hydra, you would definitely not give us the hard drive, and let the Avengers crack down on these illegal laboratories, because there are people inside Hydra who are conducting similar experiments." ”

"Hydra too?"

Rojo pretended to be surprised and surprised, in fact, he already knew about the matter of Hydra, after all, this organization has done almost all the bad things that can be done on Earth, and laboratories like this are no exception.

He was a little puzzled, "Why do you think there are members of Hydra in the underground base?" I didn't find any suspicious people. ”

"At the moment, S.H.I.E.L.D. has not found it, but Nick Fury's intuition is not wrong, they are conducting a screening and will find it sooner or later."

As Steve spoke, he suddenly remembered something important and looked Rojo up and down.

He said, "Where did you put the potion that was in New York Harbor before?" ”

"It's all used."

"What?"
