American comics: Shelter the Heavens

On Christmas Day, the news around the world was about Santa Claus appearing at midnight and distributing gifts to children around the world.

Through this news, some people who went to bed early also learned that at midnight, Santa Claus appeared all over the world and gave gifts to all the children, and all the gifts were what they wanted most.

There are even potions that can give people super powers, or potions that can cure cancer when consumed.

Basically all the children with incurable diseases received the medicine that could cure everything, and all the children recovered their health.

Compared to people's happiness, top leaders of various countries appear very solemn. After all, they can send an item to Santa Claus around the world at will, so they can't help but be afraid.

"How's it going? Have you found Santa Claus yet?"

"No, we used all the satellites and even teamed up with other countries, but we couldn't find him. It's as if he is not on Earth."

"What about other countries?"

“They can’t find it either.”

"Forget it, let's wait until next Christmas to see if he will show up again."

And just like that, the matter of Santa Claus came to nothing.

As Natasha was alone and Tony gave her the leadership of the Avengers, after spending Christmas Eve at Yuntian Farm, she returned to the Avengers base and started working.

All the backlog work was quickly processed and the post-holiday work was also arranged.

When she looked up, she found that night had fallen.

She stretched, walked outside, and looked at the night sky. The feeling of loneliness came over her like a tide, but Natasha soon composed herself. Just as she was about to leave, Coulson appeared out of nowhere.

"Natasha, you haven't left yet?"

"No, I just finished work. Why are you here too?"

"Simmons and the others are going to hold a party. Do you want to join us?"

"Can I?"

"Of course, there are not only people from our team, but also from other departments." Coulson said with a smile.

"Well, that's good, it's a good time to have some fun."

So Natasha followed Coulson to the scene of their party, where people had already started.

Natasha also joined in, and they played until dawn the next day, when everyone dispersed.

As a result, Natasha was suddenly woken up by a loud knock on the door while she was sleeping soundly.

Natasha shook her head and opened the door in her silk suspender nightgown. Steve at the door saw Natasha's appearance and quickly turned around and said, "Natasha, wake up! We found the trace of Hydra!"

"Hydra, are you sure?" Natasha asked in a daze.

"Sure, wake up!"

Natasha shook her head again to sober herself up a little.

"You go first, I'll follow."

"Okay, as soon as possible."

Then Steve turned and left, but before leaving, he still looked at Natasha carefully and couldn't help but sigh at Natasha's devilish figure.

Ten minutes later, Natasha appeared at the door of the conference room, pushed the door open and sat in the main seat.

"Natasha is here, let's get started."

Then Tony knocked on the table, and instantly videos and pictures appeared on the screen in front of them.

"Everyone, these two are siblings. The brother is Pietro Maximoff and the sister is Wanda Maximoff. They are both from Sokovia. This is the flyer they released earlier."

"The two siblings hate you? Do you know why?" Natasha asked as she looked at the content on the flyer.

"This is all Obadiah's fault. He sold Stark Group's weapons to terrorists without my knowledge. The war that Sokovia suffered used our group's weapons. As a result, a missile killed his parents. But the missile was a dud. They were forced to stay with the shell for several days."

After saying this, Tony gave a bitter smile.

After hearing this, everyone finally understood why the two siblings hated Tony so much.

"Where are their traces?"

"Isn't it clear? He completely disappeared. He must have hidden in a place where there is no surveillance."

"Can't track it?"

"No, they robbed tens of millions of U.S. dollars. Every time they showed up, they paid with cash, and they were wrapped up tightly. By the time we found them, they had already disappeared without a trace. By the way, this is the trajectory map of their appearances in the past few days."

Looking at the densely packed red dots on the map, everyone didn't know what to say, because these red dots were spread all over the world.

"But look here!" Steve took the laser pen, pressed the laser, and instantly a red dot appeared on the screen.

Everyone looked at the red dot and found that the place he was pointing to was New Jersey.

"There are the most overlapping red dots here, so I suspect they are most active here, which means their base should be here. Other places are just to confuse us. Don't forget that Pietro Maximov is a speedster. It's relatively easy for him to become the world's number one, isn't it?"

"You're right. In that case, Steve, go to New Jersey to investigate."

"can."

"Report immediately if there is any situation."

Steve nodded, and then everyone left. Steve drove to New Jersey alone. First, he went to the Avengers branch, which was the original branch of S.H.I.E.L.D., to check if there was any information about the Pietro brothers and sisters.

After finding out that there was no information about the two siblings, he notified the people in the branch and asked them to inform him immediately if there was any news about them.

Then Steve drove to a long-abandoned military base. Looking at the gate of the military base, Steve's eyes showed nostalgia.

Because this is the military base where he once trained and served. It was also at this base that he met Carter and became the current Captain America.

However, when he saw the lock on the gate, he immediately frowned, because the lock was new. Logically speaking, this was an abandoned military base, and no one should come here normally, and there would be no one maintaining it, so what was the matter with this new lock?

Steve immediately reported the situation to Natasha, and then sneaked into the military base despite Natasha's dissuasion.

Natasha also felt something was wrong after receiving the news, especially when Steve didn't obey orders, which made her sigh. But then she summoned a group of Avengers and immediately took a Quinjet to the abandoned military base.

Steve, who lurked in the military base, did not see any signs of human life on the outskirts, but as he went deeper, he finally found traces of human activities, and these traces were left for a very short time, which means that there were people here.

Steve took a deep breath and began to move deeper quietly.
