The era of American comics begins

Chapter 485 Seeking Help
"My name is Tony Stark.

I'm Iron Man, I'm an Avenger, and I'm Commander of the new S.H.I.E.L.D.I am one of the most powerful people in this world, and I also have the most advanced weapons.And my duty - it is very simple to say, to maintain world peace.

But now, I don't know what to do.

The Skrulls, an alien race with shape-shifting abilities and a knack for infiltrating other civilizations, now have their sights set on Earth.They are like a virus. A terminal illness.They have quietly invaded every aspect of the earth and penetrated into the entire system of human civilization, but we, the masters, have not realized that I, the guardian, have been doing the same.This is my dereliction of duty, and I have no intention of shirking this responsibility, because this is my fault.

I can be competent in many roles at the same time, which made me think that the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. would not be such a difficult job. I was wrong.It's rare for me to admit that I can't do something, but I have to.I can't stop myself from thinking, what would Nick Fury do if he was in this position, in this situation?Or, with Nick Fury around, things didn't have to go this far at all?
Anyway, if we're lucky enough to survive this top-secret invasion, then I might really consider retiring, because I might not be the right fit.Someone else should take the job, maybe Fury, maybe someone else, but whatever, I can't go on.

that's it. "

Tony took a deep breath and turned off the recording function of the Iron Man helmet in front of him.

At this moment, he was sitting in the director's office, facing the Iron Man helmets on the table.Whenever he looked directly at his helmet in the past, it felt like he was looking in a mirror, and on the other side of the mirror was himself at his best, who he always wanted himself to be.

And now, he only sees his own failure.

An hour ago, all functions of the Tricurved Wing Building failed.Around the same time, Steve Rogers left his cell, whereabouts are unknown.

Another exhausting 24 hours.Tony rubbed the bridge of his nose and some sore eyes tiredly. After the injection of Extremis, his energy has obviously improved significantly. It stands to reason that he doesn't particularly need sleep, but for some reason he still feels extremely sleepy.

A few minutes ago, he managed to restore the power and communication system of the building, but 90.00% of the parts are still disabled.He just had a chance to sit down in the office to catch his breath, and at the same time, a large number of Aegis engineers were trying to repair it in various areas.

The door opened.Maria Hill entered the office and stopped at his desk.

"Another very bad day, Chief Stark?" she asked.

"Does it seem that obvious?"

Hill shrugged. "Can you share with me what happened?"

Tony looked up and looked at her for a moment.

"No," he said.

Hill nodded to express his understanding, but he didn't care.She has not been in S.H.I.E.L.D. for a day or two, and she knows how the system works.

There are many things that she, the deputy chief, can do for her, but there are more things that the chief has to deal with personally, and no one else can do it for him.

"Part of the radar has barely recovered its basic functions." Hill said, "The monitoring system seems to be fast, but even if it can be restored, the past video and video information may not be retrieved. That is to say, we have no way of knowing what happened at the time. What exactly happened in each part of the building."

"What's the reason?" Tony asked, "Have you found the reason for the system failure?"

Hill shook his head: "Not yet. Experts tend to speculate that it is an attack of the electromagnetic pulse kind, but."

"It's not an electromagnetic pulse." Tony waved his hand irritably, "If it is, I can detect it when I first arrive."

After a pause, he turned to ask, "What's the situation with Captain Steve?"

Compared with the security breach of the Three Curved Wing Building, he actually cared more about this matter.

"Don't know yet. But judging by what we have. Sharon Carter took him."

Tony raised an eyebrow.

"It's surprising, but it's reasonable." Hill continued, "Agent Carter has been inconsistent with the Superpower Registration Act. If she had the opportunity, she would definitely stand in line with the captain. Maybe she and the The other superpowers who followed the captain got on the line, maybe they paralyzed the system and took the opportunity to rob the captain."

"No, they don't have that ability." Tony frowned.

It’s not that those superheroes are incapable of robbing Captain America from the Tricurved Wing Building, but that they can’t have enough technology to break through Tony’s firewall, and they can’t leave behind such arrogance in the SHIELD system. Walk away with traces.

"It's better to say, if this is the case," Tony said to himself.

If it's just a remnant of the Civil War problem, it's really just a trifle.But considering the completely unclear situation now, in case this matter is also related to the Skrulls
He hardly dared to imagine the possibility.

"There is another thing, Director Stark." Hill handed him an open tablet computer, and the screen displayed radar monitoring images of extraterrestrial orbit.

From the radar image, they can clearly see that a huge flying object is hanging in the orbit of the earth.It's just that its angle is extremely ingenious, and it almost perfectly avoids all scanning methods. Almost.

Tony asked, "What's this? A .spaceship?"

"An aircraft carrier," Hill said. "We've discussed this. We think this ship may be the mothership of the Sky Sword Bureau."

Tony's pupils narrowed.

He stood up, and the suit took shape within a second, wrapping his body.

"Send me the exact coordinates," he said, "I have to go and see."

Hill puts away tablet: 'I can arrange staff'

"No," Tony shook his head, "I'll go by myself."

Hill frowned and said, "Then take at least one Iron Squad? Or maybe you should contact the Avengers. I shouldn't need to remind you that this 'Heavenly Sword Bureau' is not some ordinary terrorist organization, or whatever Where you can single-handedly break through. Technology aside, they have a top-notch super-powered squad, and you can't do it alone."

"I said no." Tony said stubbornly, "I'm not looking for a fight, or something unpleasant."

Hill was taken aback: "Then what are you going to do?"

The armored helmet activated, and Iron Man's mask snapped shut.

"Go get help."
