Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 248 Two Alliances
Gotham, Wayne Manor.

"Bruce, are you sure you don't think about it anymore?"

Natasha asked complicatedly.

Bruce didn't pay attention to her wishes at all, but looked at Alfred who was on the side.

"Sorry, Miss Agent, it's not convenient for the master to see guests today."

Alfred immediately understood, made a gesture of invitation to Natasha, and smiled politely.

That's right, the difference in the world has caused a slight deviation in the arrangement of SHIELD to assemble the Avengers.

The person Natasha is responsible for wooing has changed from Dr. Banner to Bruce Wayne.

This does not mean that the Hulk was kicked out of Nick Fury's list, and the person who went to invite Dr. Banner was replaced by another person.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has approached Batman a long time ago, long before Harvey Dent became Gotham's Attorney General.

At that time, the liaison between the two parties was the black widow Natasha Romanoff.

There was even a time when Natasha had some super-friendship with Playboy Bruce.

Although this relationship broke down after a short period of time, neither Batman nor Black Widow took this relationship seriously.

But at least the relationship between the two is pretty good, and this relationship works better than anything else when talking about certain things.

At least that's how it looks on the S.H.I.E.L.D. side.

It's a pity that they miscalculated a little, Bruce is not the kind of person who will be bound by beauty.

It is even less likely to be constrained by S.H.I.E.L.D.

So when Natasha approached him to join the Avengers, Bruce said no without even thinking about it.

At this point in time, Bruce is arguably the superhero who knows S.H.I.E.L.D. the best.

From the moment he learned that Fury started the Pegasus Project and tried to use the Rubik's Cube to build weapons, Batman had included S.H.I.E.L.D. as his imaginary enemy.

Oh, by the way, the essence of the Pegasus project is the development of weapons. Fury did not intend to tell the Avengers that this information was obtained by Bruce hacking into the S.H.I.E.L.D. database.

In fact, Tony did the same thing, which is why the two outright refused to join the Avengers.

Natasha had no choice but to leave Wayne Manor.

She has no extra time to waste here.

"Master Wayne, is this really okay?"

After Natasha left, Alfred asked worriedly.

"If what is said in the information is true, the second prince of Asgard, Loki, invaded the earth and took away the Rubik's Cube. It is difficult to judge whether this is his personal behavior or..."

"The vanguard of Asgard's invasion of Earth."

Bruce voiced Alfred's concerns.

"Thinking in the worst direction, this incident is likely to evolve into a war between Earth and Asgard!"

"Even, Loki's behavior may be to induce us to attack him, thus causing hatred on both sides."

"Our odds are slim, sir."

Bruce shook his head, a strange gleam in his eye.

"But not at all."

Alfred asked suspiciously: "Is our strength alone really enough?"

"Of course not enough, so we need more allies."

"With all due respect, you have rejected the alliance's invitation just now. We all know who the members of the Avengers are. This is already the strongest group of people in the world."

Alfred was even more puzzled.

"Who else can be our ally?"

"No, Ah Fu, that's not all. There are many special existences in this world, and even S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot understand them all."

Bruce's eyes drifted to the distance, which was the direction of Los Angeles, it seemed that it was time to find that bastard...

"We need to form our own coalition, not be at the mercy of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"You mean we're going to form an Avengers too?"

"No, Fu, I don't like the word 'revenge'..."

Just as Bruce was about to say the league's name, a hole burst open in the ceiling.

There was a "boom", and a black shadow smashed through the ceiling and landed heavily on the ground, stirring up a huge cloud of dust.

"Master Wayne, be careful."

Alfred immediately guarded Bruce behind him.

"Bruce's right, I don't like revenge either, but not because I hate the word, but because I didn't come up with the name."

A familiar voice came out, and Alfred was taken aback, but Bruce was already prepared, he already knew who was coming.

Sure enough, when the dust dissipated, a man in a golden red steel battle suit was kneeling on the ground.

Besides Tony Stark, who else would enter the arena with such a flamboyant attitude?

"Hey, no one told me to get up. It's tiring to keep in this position. My legs are numb."

After waiting for a while, neither Bruce nor Alfred made a sound, Tony stood up and complained.

At this time, Bruce smiled and said to Alfred: "Look, the first ally has been found."

Alfred was sincerely convinced, as expected, the master is the master, and his thinking was really far-reaching.

Tony said sternly: "Bruce, the S.H.I.E.L.D. has come to look for you too, I believe you can't rest assured to hand over your back to those people."

"And we all know that this matter cannot be solved by ourselves alone, so I came to you."

"follow me."

Bruce said briefly, then turned and walked towards the Batcave.

"Colson, this is Natasha Romanov, can you get the signal?"

On the Quinjet fighter plane, Natasha piloted the plane with a solemn face and called Coulson at the same time.

Soon, the communication is connected.

"This is Coulson, Natasha, how is your situation?"

Coulson's expression was also not very good.

"...Bruce declined the invitation."

Natasha was silent for a while, and then said truthfully.

"What? Bruce Wayne refused too?"

"Wait, what do you mean 'also', don't you..."

Coulson smiled wryly, "You guessed it right, Tony didn't even want to see me, and kicked me out."

"Really bad news."

Natasha said helplessly: "Iron Man, Batman, Hulk, Captain America, and Barton and I, two of the six people who were originally planned to form the Avengers have clearly rejected it, and Barton has been controlled by Loki to defect. .”

"Our combat power is too small, even if Dr. Banner and the captain agree to join, and they may not necessarily agree."

"No, maybe Dr. Banner is more difficult to say, but I believe the captain will definitely come."

Coulson is the last to see others questioning Captain America, even at this time.

At the same time, in an ordinary house in Brooklyn, New York.

"From the very beginning, you shouldn't have fished up the Cosmic Rubik's Cube!"

Opposite Nick Fury, a blond young man with a sandbag and an unusually strong figure turned his back and said to him.
