How the Good and the Villain Saved Each Other

They pressed the special elevator for the Avengers, and with a "ding", the elevator door opened, and War Machine was standing inside.

"Hey, Roddy," Loki greeted as he stepped into the elevator with an overly warm attitude, "Nice to meet you, how are you doing?"

The black officer sighed.

"We both know you don't like to see me very much," he said quietly, "so please, can't you be honest?"

The evil god blinked green eyes: "You are Tony's friend, of course I want to show my friendliness, and I still like you most of the time-although this time is not included. What fancy handcuffs did the Secretary of State bring?"

Rody rolled his eyes: "I think you probably have persecution paranoia, are all people in Asgard like this?"

"Perhaps," Loki shrugged. "There's a saying, 'Be careful sailing for ten thousand years'. It's not for nothing that we can live for thousands of years."

Roddy turned his head, obviously not intending to continue arguing with the guy with the silver tongue, and instead smiled friendlyly at Captain America: "Cap, what do you think of the bill?"

Steve turned his head to look at Wanda. At this moment, the girl was also looking up at him with disturbed eyes. He nodded to her reassuringly, and then gave a clear but tactful reply: "I am an American citizen, Of course I want to be treated as a citizen."

When they walked into the conference room, Sam, Vision, Clint, and Natasha were already sitting around the conference table, Secretary of State Ross was sitting in the main seat, with a confident look on his face, and the weirdest thing was Tony, who was alone Sitting in a chair away from the conference table, like an auditor or trainee detective who is not entitled to attend.

"It seems that everyone has arrived," the Secretary of State stood up, smiled at Loki and the others, and stretched out his hand graciously, "I'm so glad to see you." The tone reminded several people who had just got off the elevator. Roddy's complaints about Loki earlier.

"Hello, Mr. Secretary of State, I am also very glad to meet you." Loki reached out his hand to shake the other party first, and asked with a smile, "How is your daughter?" After seeing the other party's smile in satisfaction, Immediately, he pretended to be trembling and added: "Oh, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean anything else. I actually asked this question on behalf of Dr. Banner. You know, they have a very close relationship."

"Thank you for your concern, Betty is fine," Ross quickly returned to smiling, "The scientific research project she led is about to succeed, and by then human beings will take a step closer to the grand goal of overcoming cancer. As a father, I am proud of her."

Rocky nodded, instead of continuing to provoke, he looked sideways at Tony: "Honey, do you want to come and sit with me?"

"No," Tony waved his hand, and sat on the chair in the usual posture during meetings, "This seat is very comfortable, I like it here."

"Okay, your loss." Loki didn't force himself to sit down opposite Steve.

"The whole world owes a debt to the Avengers," the Secretary of State began his speech after everyone was seated. "You fought for us, protected people, and were considered heroes, but some would prefer to call you 'duty.'" police'."

"What about you, Mr. Secretary of State? What do you want to call us?" Natasha said bluntly.

"I'll call you 'dangerous'," Ross replied unhurriedly, "what would you call a group of superpowers stationed in the United States? They are used to ignoring the boundaries of national sovereignty, where they go and what they do are all up to them. It also seems indifferent to the disastrous consequences."

He clicked the operation button on the table, and the screen behind him began to play a video, all of which were the destruction caused by the Avengers during the battle and the devastation after the war, which really looked a little shocking.

"For the past four years, your operations have had unlimited authority and no supervision. Governments can no longer tolerate it, so we have come up with a solution—" Ross said, throwing an agreement on the conference table , The heavy paper collided with the solid wood tabletop, making a dull sound, "The Sokovia Agreement, ratified by 117 countries, stated that the Avengers Alliance is no longer a private organization, but must be under the supervision of the United Nations special team action."

The focus of everyone's gaze fell on the heavy agreement, only Loki was distracted and turned his head to look at Tony, who was staring down at the ground, as if everything that happened in the conference room had nothing to do with him.

"The original purpose of the Avengers was to make the world safe," Captain America said amidst a silent flip of paper, "I think we've done that."

"Tell me, Captain, do you know where Saul and Banner are now?" with one."

"Thank you for the compliment." Loki met the other party's pointed eyes and nodded in greeting. No one was in the mood to feel how humorous this sentence was.

"And what if we don't sign?" Clint asked.

"Then retire," replied the Secretary of State, and then smiled at everyone. "In three days, the United Nations will hold a meeting in Vienna to ratify the agreement. I hope you will be honored to attend."

=====================

The Secretary of State exited in style, leaving a roomful of Avengers arguing endlessly.While Sam and Roddy choke each other, attacking each other as "egomaniacs who don't take the 117 resolution seriously" and "dualists who walk between the government and the Avengers," Vision gives a very Convincing formula, thus proving that the emergence of the Avengers has a certain relationship with the rise in global crime rates, Clint claims that it is time to retire, and Steve is so far the only Avenger who has clearly stated his position - he Never sign that agreement.

"The two people who like to be noisy on weekdays are very quiet today, huh?" Natasha glanced at Loki and Tony, "Can you tell me the reason?"

"The reason is that my fiancé seems to have made up his mind, and I prefer to reach an agreement within the family first on such a major event." Loki replied briskly, as if he didn't lay down on the table for that book at all. The focus of contention on the Internet is annoying.

Last time, when faced with the "Superhero Act" in the United States, Tony's attitude was ambiguous. He neither agreed nor opposed. If the bill is passed, he will fulfill the obligation of an American citizen to comply. If it is not, then let the alliance remain as it is.But this time, although he didn't say anything explicitly, his attitude was already very clear and resolute, and even if Loki disagreed with it, he would never openly stand on the opposite side of Tony - he would not be so stupid as to Things were up against his sweetheart.

Still, it was necessary to talk in private, because he was worried that Tony would end up regretting his choice.

"Before I met you, I always thought that as long as I was a human being, I would have to admit that I had to give up at some point in my life, because he had tried his best but was still helpless in front of everything, but you made me realize Man can even be stronger than God." Loki said softly, they are now standing in the corridor outside the meeting room, through the glass they can still see the falcons and war machines fighting red-faced, "I understand you are afraid, you Guilty, you don't know what to do, because you have tried your best, but people still die because of you. But the captain is right, if you sign the agreement, you will give up your right to choose and become a procurator in the hands of the government. String puppets—what was the reason why you were willing to bear such heavy pressure and refused to hand over the Mark series?"

Tony pursed his lips, and met Loki's unblinking brown eyes.

"Maybe I was wrong from the beginning?" he said, looking more serious than ever. "You know, the old ways didn't work, Loki, I really don't know what to do, I made Ultron , I killed those innocent people, I just can't go on with these life debts. I keep saying to myself, what I did was right, but when I fight, there is no The helpless children are crying in the dust, because the parents who can shelter them are bleeding under the collapsed house, and they don’t know whether they are alive or dead. What is the difference between me and those villains who ignore life?"

He took a deep breath and finally came to a slow conclusion: "The league needs to be regulated, in any form - we can't continue to do whatever we want."

"So, you will also hand over the Mark series?" Loki asked, Tony hesitated, and couldn't help lowering his eyelids: "There is no such plan yet."

"I'm glad to see you have reservations." The evil god smiled, it seemed that his honey was just dazzled by guilt, not completely confused, and obviously knew that the government was not really trustworthy, "In that case, give it a try It’s okay to have something new.”

Tony's eyes widened suddenly, he thought Loki would yell at him, grab him by the collar and ask him to give up such absurd idea of ​​signing the agreement, but he never expected him to be so cooperative.

"I will neither stop you, nor try to sway the thoughts of anyone in the league. Whoever wants to sign can sign, and whoever doesn't want to sign, I will never allow anyone to force them," Rocky said half leaning on the glass curtain wall , "But I declare in advance that I will absolutely never sign this agreement." He is a god and a prince. Even if he is deprived of the right of inheritance, he still cannot willingly degenerate to the point of submitting to human beings—although in fact, The so-called "Sokovia Agreement" was just a pile of useless waste paper for him.

"I respect personal will." Tony smiled and stretched out his hand to Loki, the previous gloom lessened a lot, "Have a nice cooperation."

"If you regret it, just cry in my arms, and I'll help you with everything." Loki didn't give the other party a formal handshake, but grabbed it and lifted it up for a kiss. His green eyes flashed teasingly, "But Tony, do you really think about the consequences? The captain will never stand with you - he's a stubborn old man, ask him to change his mind unless you're a brown-haired, green-eyed Barnes - you're the backbone of the league Strength, your differences of opinion are likely to split the entire league."

"If I heard you right, you just declared that you would not hinder me." Mr. Stark crossed his arms and pouted at the dishonest guy in front of him, while Loki spread his hands innocently.

"I didn't obstruct you, I just put the pros and cons in front of you." He said, his green eyes were full of sincerity that makes it difficult to tell the truth from the fake, and the gentle and persuasive voice could not help but follow even the stones. Nod, "Why don't we try to take it easy? I bet that the agreement made without the participation of the Avengers must be extremely harsh, maybe we can negotiate with them again to get a result that both parties are satisfied with, and It’s not about signing off on anything that’s thrown straight at us in the face.”

"You think I just decided to sign without doing any research?" Tony said coldly.

"Then how long have you been doing research?"

"Ten days, Stark Industries' elite lawyer team spent a full ten days."

"That's right," Rocky smacked his lips and decided to ignore the fact that Tony had obtained the full text of the "Agreement" ten days ago but kept hiding it from himself, "You mean, your little team only used In ten days, all the traps set by the 117 countries using the "Sokovia Agreement" after four years of preparation? Wow, congratulations, your legal team is simply the Tony Stark of the legal profession!"

Tony was silent, neither contradicting nor agreeing, but he realized he was beginning to waver, and he didn't waver often, but Loki always had this damn magic.

"The alliance really needs supervision, but we can't be at the mercy of those selfish guys." Loki continued his loving lobbying, "What if they insist on your Mark Mecha? What's worse, they force Wanda to cooperate What if they do human experiments? You know the Secretary of State did the same thing to Dr. Banner a few years ago when he was a general."

"No one would do this kind of thing, don't scare me."

"Really? But I remember someone once told me that the scientists in the atrium are so crazy that they will cut me into pieces and put them in petri dishes for research."

Tony rolled his eyes, but his expression softened a lot: "It's rare that you still remember."

"Of course I remember," Loki leaned forward slightly and whispered in Tony's ear, whispering in his voice as silky as melted chocolate, "I remember everything you said to me—clearly .”

Tony snorted.

"Cunning little liar," he cursed lowly, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, "used to use sweet words to achieve his goals."

"In fact, my purpose is to make you soak in a honey pot all day long." Rocky strikes while the iron is hot, "Although you never said it, I know that the alliance is like a home to you, and the family is like a family. There is nothing more important than unity. See the faces of those guys when we were in the Cold War? They look like children in the shadow of parents quarreling and divorced. In the four years since the alliance was established, we have been invincible and accomplished countless impossible tasks , because we are united, we can do it this time, as long as everyone takes a step back and takes their time, things will always develop in the direction we expect."

Tony stared at Loki, who put on his most sincere face.

"Okay, I promise you to take it easy," he announced with his hips akimbo, "but I haven't changed my mind, understand?"

"I can't understand it better," Loki showed a big smile, which was so sweet that people could not wait to take a bite immediately, "You are Tony Stark, and you are always right."

Just when they were about to return to the meeting room to announce the results of their internal family discussions, the door of the meeting room was slammed open, and Captain America strode out. He ignored Loki and Tony, and walked into the elevator .

The two looked at each other, Loki rolled his eyes, and probed into the meeting room: "Did you just receive any bad news about Bucky?"

Natasha sighed.

"It wasn't James," she said, with a rare look of pity in the corners of her eyes, "it was Ms. Carter, who died."
