infinite hero

It was already night in Bonn, but here in New York, the afternoon sun was slanting to embrace the whole city.

At this time, if you find a good place sheltered from the wind in a place above the [-]th floor of the Empire State Building—whether it is an office building or an observation deck—pour a pot of Ceylon black tea and serve a plate of desserts that melt in your mouth... There is simply no better afternoon tea time than this one.

But of course, if you are invited to talk in the S.H.I.E.L.D. conference room at this time, the previous assumptions can only be wishful thinking.

That's how impatient Tony was with Fury.Not to mention whether he needs to be in the Empire State Building to enjoy this kind of treatment, at least he does have the strength to do so. "No matter what I've done before, I don't have time to play peek-a-boo with S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

Fury felt a familiar wave of helplessness and anger.But he had to endure: not only for what he wanted to do, but also for taking Sid away for no reason before. "I know, you are looking for someone now, we can help."

Tony rolled his eyes at that. "Don't be kidding," he said mercilessly, "If I can't find it, can you find it? Besides, it must be a bad thing if you find it."

Natasha stood behind Fury with her hands behind her back, and her eyebrows moved when she heard this.But she has no intention of speaking for Fury... Well, she just does what she has to do.

Fury can only feel pain in the face of Tony's reluctance.Maybe he had a chance to get Iron Man's support before, but he single-handedly destroyed that opportunity, so that he is now stretched. "Well, if that's the case," the lines on his face hardened, "then I can only notify you unilaterally."

Tony spread his hands, raised an eyebrow, and lifted his chin slightly.He was still wearing his battle armor, the visor pushed halfway.It all adds up to a [-]/[-] "you can talk, but I won't listen" air.

Fury stared at Tony, moved his teeth imperceptibly, then turned his head. "Originally what I wanted to inform you was another matter," he said forcefully, "but now that it has become like this, it probably needs to be said differently."

Tony didn't answer, he wanted to see what Fury could say.

"I know you think it's not wise for me to take out the blue cube." Fury said, "but you must also know why I took it out."

Regarding the incident of the hammer falling from the sky in New Mexico and its follow-up, others know the superficial phenomenon, but the internal connection is unclear.And Tony has been hacking into the S.H.I.E.L.D. system, so of course he can figure things out.

Tony didn't blush at the suggestive accusation.

"As you can see, we can't stop Thor at all. In other words, we shouldn't use a specific person as an imaginary enemy, but there are obviously many enemies outside the earth." Fury continued, "And in case those enemies come to the door, We were helpless."

"You're talking about a worst-case scenario," Tony finally said.

"I don't think you need me to explain Murphy's Law to you," Fury replied very quickly, "just as I think you must know who made your brother disappear."

Murphy's Law, if there are two or more ways to do something, and choosing one of the ways will lead to disaster, someone will make this choice.

As for Sid's disappearance... Loki is indeed not within S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control, nor is Tony's.Even, the situation facing Tony is worse than S.H.I.E.L.D. - even if he knew that Loki did it, he still has nothing to do!

Thinking of this, the corners of Tony's mouth tightened.But of course it is impossible for him to admit that Sid and Loki's departure is the worst choice, "You mean your choice will lead to disaster?"

"I'm not sure." Fury admitted frankly, "I just do what I think is right... Maybe I will find out that I did wrong later, but I will not regret it."

Tony snorted.He still thought Fury was lying, but he didn't see any point in arguing about it.Just like Fury said, you won’t regret if you find out that you made a mistake in the future-that’s because regret is useless, reality has already been cast. "Is this what you want to talk about today?" He raised his voice, obviously impatient.

"No, but it has something to do with it." Fury bent his fingers and tapped on the table. "It turned out that my plan was to restart the Avengers as soon as possible."

Natasha, who had been listening in, showed a surprised expression.If nothing else, she had never heard of the plan.But she also found that Tony should have been as surprised as she was, but there was no wavering on Tony's face.

"I don't think you need me to remind you that this plan has been rejected." Tony's answer was this.There is no doubt that he habitually wandered around the S.H.I.E.L.D. system as if it were his backyard, and he had already done so before Sid's identity was exposed.

"Then you must know the reason." Fury didn't show the anger of being peeped at the secret at all. "Forming the Avengers was the first response I came up with after New Mexico. And the Security Council rejected it because they felt that..."

"I'm not easy to control." Tony helped him continue, "Not only me, but also Dr. Banner."

Natasha was starting to feel like she needed to gasp now.Dr. Bruce Banner, also known as the Hulk, almost brought down the entire city a few years ago.If Fury's plan includes the Hulk, it shows that things are not normal, or that Fury has no choice!

"Right." Fury shrugged. "As an alternative plan, they decided that unblocking the 27-0-8 from 4 years ago sounded like a better idea."

"At least it can't speak, and it can completely obey your will." Tony hit the nail on the head.

None of the three present continued talking quickly.Because they all know that this 0-8-4 brings new problems, and it is a new problem that has no way to start.In contrast, forming the Avengers sounds more practical.

"So that's why you want to find Sid?" Tony reorganized the development of the matter, and realized that Fury probably only wanted Sid for one thing-to let Sid persuade him to join the Avengers.

Fury nodded and said objectively: "I thought it was a good idea."

Tony rarely refuted.Probably not in the past, but their relationship has changed recently, and Sid is really the most likely person to persuade him.It's a pity that the plan didn't change quickly. Before Fury could implement it, Loki took Sid away first.

"So, who took Sid?" Fury asked.He thinks this matter is terrible, not only about whether the Avengers can be successfully formed, but also about whether Iron Man will become violent and black.

But Tony doesn't feel like he needs S.H.I.E.L.D.'s help.To put it more bluntly, he didn't feel he needed anyone's help. "I can fix this myself." He started walking towards the window.

Without a direct answer, Fury understood that this was a rejection, and Tony had no interest in joining the Avengers. "You..." He wanted to say something, but was interrupted immediately.

"Asgard, Loki." Tony turned back before activating the sole thrusters. "For the sake of being honest today, otherwise..."

The latter half of the sentence disappeared in the sudden wind.Fury glared at Iron Man who had turned into a streamlined skyline, but this did not affect his understanding of Tony's meaning - if he hadn't been honest today, the other party would not have revealed a word of news.

So, a guy named Rocky took Sid?

That's not in the S.H.I.E.L.D. files, how did Tony know?Have you seen it?

Finally, what is the relationship between Loki and Thor who are both Asgardians?Was his prediction of danger, unfortunately, right?

Later that day, still in an area of ​​Germany.Because Loki kept changing places, and also picked out remote places with few people, Sid couldn't quite figure out the direction.Although he doubted that he was on the banks of the Elbe River, he couldn't prove it - Loki was always in his sight, so he could only be honest.

Thinking of this, Sid rolled over on the bed.Today, Rocky chose the basement of an abandoned building as a resting place. The floor is full of sewage, and the air is full of damp moisture.But he didn't care too much, he only carefully turned the watch on his wrist by the dim light of the light bulb——

no signal.

Sid was almost certain by now that Loki's magic would disable any electronic gadgets - nothing Tony made would work, so what else?

But this is not a good development trend.It has been almost half a month since he left with Loki, and there has been no progress.

You must know that Loki has never been the type to reveal his thoughts to others, and he has never been a warm friend who is easy to get acquainted with others. It is really difficult to get any news from him.What's more, Loki has the soul gem in his hand, and with his own magic, it is enough to resist the detection of the soul gem.

What must be said, Sid thinks, only the sentence that Loki said at the symphony today is the most suggestive. "Fate is knocking," Beethoven wrote before the piece; Loki made a quote, so what does that imply?Immediate action?

Sid couldn't help but secretly turned back to look at Loki.Norse gods don't seem to need sleep, at least he's never seen Loki with his eyes closed.For example, now, when he was lying on the bed, Loki sat on the masonry floor indifferently, with the scepter across his chest.

...What the hell are we going to do about this?

It wasn't the first time that Sid thought that following Loki would allow him to discover the opponent's intentions faster, but it was impossible for things to go back to the way they were before.Anyway, as long as they couldn't deal with Loki, there was nothing wrong with his decision to obediently follow.

In these pros and cons comparisons, Sid fell into sleep.He hasn't been sleeping well recently, and he can't be sure whether it's Loki's problem or his own.But even if he has fallen into a deep sleep, he will definitely be awakened when there is a sound like an explosion——

"...What are you doing?" When Sid opened his eyes, he just caught a flash of blue light.He half stood up, and was surprised to find that Loki was still sitting there, motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

...Phantom clone?

Sid suddenly realized this possibility, turned over immediately, and walked out quickly - the underground building has a large area, and the one he stayed in was just a small room - and then he was immediately stunned by the things that came into view -

A familiar spherical instrument, a cosmic cube, Professor Selvig and Agent Button are also...

Of course, there's another Loki.This Loki watched Selvig and Hawkeye put the Cosmic Cube back into the center of the instrument, then turned back and smiled at him: "A perfect surprise, what do you think?"
