Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

Steve Rogers, formerly Captain America, is about to be officially named Vice President of the United States by Mr. President.

When she heard the news, Lucy was so shocked that she almost threw the coffee cup off the balcony. She kept blowing on her red fingers, found three bags of ice cubes from the refrigerator, and poured them out for herself. Wash your face with ice".When she finally lifted her head from the sink, Bucky dug his face in.

Then the two looked at each other wetly.

"To Washington?"

"I'm going to adjust the plane."

They landed in Washington, ran non-stop to the White House, were told that Steve had gone to Congress, and finally blocked Steve at the gate of Congress.

Steve unnaturally tugged at his suit, it was still Bucky's, he didn't prepare any suit at all, he could only put on his friend's in a hurry and came to the White House.

The three of them found a coffee shop: "Tell us what's going on?"

"The president said that the son of the current vice president has brain cancer. He plans to spend his last time with the child and prepare to go back to his own farm. So the position of vice president is vacant, and the president can directly nominate a new vice president. , So, he asked me, do you want to get a job with a good salary, a nice house with a separate yard at the Naval Observatory, a good salary, and a seat on Air Force 2." Steve shrugged, "I said, why not? I can."

Lucy: "..."

Bucky: "..."

Lucy: "Steve, do you know what the Vice President does?"

Steve: "Receive foreign envoys, visit abroad, wave your hands, Lulu smiles, ah, by the way, if there is a tie vote for a Senate bill, I can cast the most crucial decisive vote."

Lucy said, "You know that never happened."

Steve spread his hands.

Everyone knows that the president is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and can issue decrees, but no one has ever stipulated what the vice president does. The vice president has no real power, cannot mobilize the army, and cannot sign decrees, so most of the time, he is at most an advisor to the president. , but the vice president is good, only when the president is about to belch, the vice president can directly become the president.Therefore, the presidents of all dynasties have maintained a jealous mentality towards the vice president, especially after the president of this term was almost usurped, he would rather stay in the position of vice president as a little lamb.

So Steve fell into the eyes of Mr. President. In terms of influence, he is definitely loved by the whole United States, but in terms of ability, he is just an old-fashioned old man who came out of the history books 90 years ago. Washington's political opponents It's too advanced for him.And in addition, his relationship with the military is not very friendly, the military will certainly not fall to Steve, and there is no threat to the president.

Lucy also had to admit that Mr. President really played a good game of chess.

Bucky rubbed his face: "The president wants to treat you as an American mascot, Steve, you can't promise him, you can come back to New York, we have a superhero training program, Lucy, you tell him yours Plan, the Avengers Academy project in Detroit! You can be an instructor, a rescuer, don't trap yourself in the White House."

"I can push the bill." Steve lowered his eyes, his eyelashes fluttering slightly, "I don't have any real power, but I have the right to propose the bill. Give it up, Bucky, Tony won't accept me, I'll stay New York will only embarrass you."

Bucky wanted to persuade him again, but Lucy held Bucky down.

She asked her own question very seriously, very slowly and clearly: "What do you want to do?"

"Promote the super criminal prison plan." Steve's blue eyes saw Lucy's heart, and he moved her, "We should leave a better world for the world."

Lucy was silent for a long time, and finally she raised her head: "Steve, Titan has some contacts with members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, we will help you make this proposal, and we can also get the best possible results for you. Support, but Washington is not an army, are you really ready?"

"Yes." Steve's eyes burst into a quenched light, "What about you, are you ready to continue following Captain America?"

Bucky looked unhappy, but he knew he couldn't convince Steve, as he always had, that he would never be able to hold that stubborn young man back from his stride.

"Of course, brother, I'll always have your back."

There has never been a vice president who will attract the attention of the entire United States and even the world when he is sworn in, but Steve Rogers can. When he was sworn in, the boring live video attracted 8000 million people to watch at the same time.

"I hope he's inaugurated as president."

"Me too, what can the vice president do, be the president's cheerleader?"

"Stop messing around with the previous ones. What can Steve Rogers do with his 90-year-old brain? His ideas are already outdated. He has to spend three to five years to adapt to contemporary life."

"The ideas of bravery, freedom and equality, and the spirit of sacrifice for mankind will never be outdated!"

"It seems as if the country can be governed only by the spirit."

There was another commotion online.

What everyone didn't expect was that after Steve took office, he seemed to be really not satisfied with being just a mascot. He initiated a proposal directly from Congress and quickly gained the support of Republicans.

This is the famous "Super Prison Project" in American history.

It stipulates that all criminals who have been sentenced to more than 300 years in prison and try to escape while serving their sentences go directly to the freezer to complete their sentences.One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and countless civil rights organizations, especially social elites, jumped out to question the bill and jointly petitioned Congress to postpone the vote on the bill.But the FBI director apparently supported it, and there was no clear objection from other violent agencies of the government.The wardens of several major national prisons even signed a letter: We have super criminals here, please take them away!

Former Captain America-Steve Rogers said in an interview with the famous Metropolitan reporter Louis Lane: "American law has always been lenient in the execution of the death penalty, but we all know that ordinary prisons and high-level prisons cannot hold those tricks. There are a lot of prisoners. And when they escaped again and again, depriving others of their lives and property, we have no choice but to give them a temporary rest in prison."

Steve’s interview was audio-recorded and placed on the Metropolis magazine app, and everyone can hear Steve’s firm voice: “I’ve heard some waves of opposition, and many people against me. Disappointed, they think that Captain America, who advocates human rights and freedom, should not promote such torture. But I advocate equality more, a murderer deprives others of their lives, and such a person cannot be deprived of their lives, does this mean that life itself Is it unequal? ​​People with great power can arbitrarily deprive others of their property without any punishment? I still retain my support for the abolition of death. In this bill, I propose to replace the death penalty with human freezing. This It also protects human rights. If it is true that our frozen criminals are wronged, we can unfreeze them at any time and let him return to society. And if someone wants to rob a prison, I promise you that it is better to spend time and energy on it. Enjoy life."

In Lex Luthor's secret laboratory in Metropolis, Luthor and Amanda had a tablet on their desk. The two of them listened to Rogers' speech together. Lex Luthor pressed the pause button and typed Knock on the table: "What do you think?"

Amanda snorted coldly: "You know that as soon as the bill is passed, he will take my prison first. At that time, my suicide squad plan will be completely ruined."

Suicide Squad is a project Amanda has been running, and she's going to train Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and maybe that Moriarty woman to go on death-defying missions and at least make their lives worth a little more .If the bill goes through, she will obviously have to work hard if she wants to keep the Suicide Squad.

"You can't even hold Lucy Lang, let alone those vicious bastards?" Luther sneered, which drew Amanda's glaring glance, "I'm planning to resign recently."

Amanda looked at Luther in surprise, and Luther showed a very proud smile: "Our vice president, he needs a chief of staff, he has been fed up with those congressmen recently, there are some small tricks that can make some things go forward It's faster, but our righteous vice president is not very good at it yet, I have to teach him."

"Luther, don't do dangerous things." Amanda grabbed Luther's tie and almost knocked his head directly on the table.Amanda will always be loyal to the president, but Luther, a conspirator, has become Steve Rogers' chief of staff. As long as they find a suitable opportunity, they can easily replace the president.

Luther raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, but he still had an expression like he was playing a game: "There are still two years until the general election, believe me, before that, I will help you watch Rogers and let him be a loyal and conscientious man." Good subordinate, once the general election begins...Amanda, prepare to change your allegiance."

Luther pulled his tie from Amanda's hand, straightened it, put it back in his suit, and left happily.

It was not easy for Amanda. She knew that Luther wanted to enter the White House with a full stomach, but she had no choice but to warn anyone, because her duties did not allow it.

She is like a reef that has weathered wind and rain but remains motionless. She can block the pirates who are about to attack in the dark, but she cannot stop the winding turbulence. Take the person she's protecting, but there's no way, she's just a rock.

The duty of the reef is to guard silently.

Amanda sighed deeply.

A month later, Luther announced that he would officially resign from Luther's company. All the company's business was entrusted to his sister, and he took care of his own property. chief of staff.Lucy is almost used to this kind of off-line plot, but when Steve Rogers and Lex Luthor get together, they feel that this combination is far apart.

Luthor always had his own agenda, and Lucy believed that he definitely had his own purpose in doing so.

"Of course he has his own purpose!" Clark could be heard loudly 'mumbling' in dissatisfaction throughout the watchtower. Everyone had comforted Clark once, only Bruce pretended he didn't hear anything and was still working in front of the console. Clark said even louder, "He wants to exert his own political influence, wait, in two days he will encourage our vice president to come up with an 'alien registration' bill, and then every one of us will live on earth All aliens must clearly register their race and origin."

Lucy and Bruce were silent together. Clark looked at the two of them, turning his head around, looking at this and that, while Lucy and Bruce just buried their heads in drinking coffee. Clark finally understood what they meant.

"Don't tell me you think this is still right!" Clark said angrily, "The U.S. Constitution stipulates that no one should be discriminated against because of their race, belief, or nationality. Have you all forgotten?"

Lucy said slowly: "We didn't say it was right. But if Rogers really proposed this bill, we can't say it's wrong. The US Constitution only stipulates that you can't discriminate against you, but it doesn't give you unregistered Freedom of information. Don’t you write your birthplace as Kansas, gender male, single, and school information when you fill out your passport and resume?”

"That's different!"

Bruce finally spoke, his fingers tapped on the keyboard and said, "Of course it's the same, you don't care about it because everyone fills it in, you think it should be, so should it really be? In the eyes of libertarians, governments wanting this information is taking away their freedom.”

Lucy tutted her head and shook her head: "Yeah, these people also want to openly sell marijuana and guns on the Internet, encourage child pornography and sex slaves, and oppose welfare and taxes, because people have the right to freely dispose of their own property, not to be ruled by the government. Collect it to achieve social equality."

Clark narrowed his eyes, and he turned to ask Lucy: "What if the government requires superhumans to register their abilities one day? Do you think that's not wrong?"

"That's not wrong, it's not right." Lucy said, she had even expected this day, and she had already made a perfect plan, she was fingering Clark as a teacher, "Nothing is right And wrong, there are only timing, conditions, negotiation, compromise, and offense.”

Lucy stood up, she patted Clark on the shoulder, touched his black hair, and pulled the little curly hair on his head: "Don't worry, Clark, if Steve really wants to push the alien Registration Act, do you think we won't save your life?"
