Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

"You know, I really wish I could have more vacations like this, it's the most comfortable I've ever made money." Black Widow lay on a beach in Miami with Hawkeye in a bikini, surrounded by an obviously Arab Men of blood, since the salary list of the superhero employment system came out, these well-known superheroes have been targeted by the Arab local tyrants. They don’t mind spending a few million to rush to the front. They don’t even need Black Widow and Hawkeye Whatever task you do, just bask in the sun with him.

Hawkeye adjusted his sunglasses, and said on Lucy's call line: "Is Senator Stern okay? Still huddled in the house and can't come out?"

Lucy yawned and offered Bruce a high salary: "Bruce is going to guard the gate. He just needs a quiet environment to read."

The black widow covered her mouth and said in a low voice: "So when will we tell the congressmen that this case is actually a puzzle that we jointly arranged with the FBI to lead to real criminals, and there are no Mexican drug lords at all?"

"Let me guess...never."

The three laughed together.

At the same time, Bruce yawned, put down the Zen book in his hand, the doorbell rang, and Senator Stern screamed in the basement: "Who!!!! Who is here!!!!" Bruce flipped Rolling his eyes, he felt that if Senator Stern continued to scream like this, he would immediately transform into Hulk.

"Just a takeaway, Mr Congressman!"

"Don't let him in, maybe a suicide attack!"

Bruce had already opened the door and gave the delivery man enough tips. He opened the pizza box, looked at the thick layer of cheese on it, and sniffed it with enjoyment: "Let there be more attacks."

General Lane felt that there was no kindness in Lucy Lang's straightforward agreement to rest for a month. Thinking about the situation at that time, that woman even prepared the paintballs!This must be her trap.

One month is the time for him to calm down the diplomatic situation with Nigeria and Wakanda, and it is also the time for Congressman Stern to win votes in Congress.

At the same time, it was time for Lucy Lang to fight back.

Unlike Congressman Stern, Congressman Stern can only rely on two mouths to explain the dangers of superheroes not disclosing their identities and not registering. Unlike Lucy Lang, she can directly make superheroes go on strike. Hastily, without forewarning, the consequences were simply disastrous.

Especially when people learned that the Titans' suspension was not due to salary or financial problems, but because of executive orders, the people who suffered losses were furious.

"How can you directly ask for a shutdown without a backup plan? Where is your crisis plan?" said the crowd demonstrating in front of the state and county governments.

"Fortunately, Titan is a non-governmental cooperative organization. As far as I know, some intergovernmental cooperative organizations that have received investment from the US government may face a complete shutdown in this situation." Qiqiyan.

"I just want to ask, Mr. Secretary of State, did you win the Nigerian railway project by letting Titan stop? I heard from my friends that Nigeria originally planned to give the railway construction project to China because the price offered by the United States was too high. !” said one netizen on Twitter.

"I heard that the Senate intends to launch a superhero registration bill in a month. Superheroes must register with their real names. I must remind the senators, what if no superheroes are willing to register with their real names, let them retire completely? We are like now How long will the situation continue?" A civil rights activist said in a TV forum interview, "And we already had a discussion in 2012 about whether the foundation should publicly record the beliefs of members and so on. In fact, I don’t think even gender needs to be publicly filed. If I ask you, open registration not only brings security risks, but also sows the seeds of discrimination.”

"I agree with this statement." Another guest echoed, he is the president of a civil aviation company, "There was an aircraft accident in our company before, the pilot temporarily changed the flight path to avoid hitting a residential area, causing 36 passengers on board Death, before it was announced that the pilot was a female, everyone thought that the pilot was to save more people. After the announcement that the pilot was a female, the opinion changed in an instant. Many people thought that female pilots were inexperienced and did not have the composure of men , steady, there must be a better choice, etc., I want to say... wait, why do you think so?"

A university professor said: “Before the appearance of Titan, there is nothing wrong with the government requiring superheroes to register their real names, because a group of unorganized and untrained superheroes is a ticking time bomb. But Titan gathered them and gave They have an insurance policy, and Titan has almost done everything except the real-name registration..."

"They have regular psychological assessments, simulated combat training, open financial budgets, and open mission reports. They don't just save this, save that, criminal investigation, fire fighting, flood saving, forest saving, medical treatment, everything. They have carried out detailed classifications, they will put suitable heroes into suitable categories, and their actions are concise and efficient." An unnamed government official in charge of superhero cooperation said.

"And they are very cooperative. Specifically, they will give their own modes of action and suggestions for action. If we don't think it is appropriate, he will follow our arrangements. Sometimes we will find ourselves maybe follow his advice. Maybe it's better and more scientific." A police detective who has worked with superheroes said, "And we have a set of rigorous identification methods to distinguish whether we are cooperating with superheroes or bad guys wearing superhero hoods. .”

"Are you going to go undercover to reveal your identity?" A voice-changing and masked undercover volunteered to go on TV, "Will you force the SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden to release his information? If any Senator If you say yes, then I believe that the letter of resignation will fly to you like snowflakes."

After wandering around China, Lucy Lang was finally willing to end her little vacation and returned to the United States with Bucky, and accepted A's TV interview.Will McAvoy asked her trickyly: "Is this an act of revenge for the government's injustice to you?"

"No, Will, of course not." Lucy smiled, "All of this has been prepared long ago, and you see, we didn't stop the rescue completely, but the business has turned into a private matter. Our Titans are similar to The union of superheroes, but superheroes actually have their own private agents and brokerage contracts, and what we suspend is actually a public rescue, but... you can't prohibit superheroes from doing private work, right?"

"But just like the bus strike, once the Titans stopped, we also saw many problems that we didn't realize at ordinary times. For example, some people said that people depend on superheroes like electricity. One day, superheroes will master people's lives."

"But it's a good question, really. But I also want to ask the person who asked this question, why do you rely on superheroes?" Lucy nodded, "Actually, Iron Man Tony Stark also encountered a similar situation. The problem, when he just developed the Iron Man suit, he fell into a kind of worry, because he found himself more and more dependent on the Iron Man suit, he kept asking himself a question, who is the Iron Man, and who is the Iron Man? Yi is, or is he?"

Bucky nodded when he heard this, and smiled at Lucy: "This has indeed troubled him for a long time. For a while, he couldn't stop making battle suits."

"The suit completely controls his life. Indeed, people have phobias of occlusion, but Iron Man is the opposite. He can't live without wearing the suit of Iron Man."

Oh my god...this is just pathetic.People watching the show thought.

"Here we have to thank Miss Watson, Tony's psychiatrist, who helped Tony deal with this problem," Bucky said. , We cooperate with government departments at all levels, not to steal their jobs, but to act as a lubricant."

Lucy continued: "I will take Midtown as an example. The Flash, Titans, Starlab and the police are closely cooperating with each other. The police discover crimes, the Titans cooperate to fight, Flash stops crimes, and Starlab studies criminals. Defensive weapons for arresting criminals, the police set up a department for super criminals, using the weapons developed by Starlab, what do you see?

Will nodded: "A virtuous circle. That's great."

"Yes, a virtuous circle. This is also the case in New York. Spider-Man, Osborn and the police shared an experimental result, which is Spider-Man's spider silk. This kind of spider silk can be used in a chip the size of a fingernail. Hidden 200 meters of spider silk, and its flexibility can pull an airplane." Lucy spread her hands and said, "We don't want to bring a future by ourselves, we create the future with everyone.

Will asked another question: "As you said, the shutdown of Titan made the government department see its own problems. Have you ever thought that the government department will conduct experiments to develop superheroes? Every FBI we see in the future What if an agent or a CIA agent has the same physique as Captain America?"

"I want to say..." Lucy paused, as she and Bucky put their arms around each other, "it would be great if that was the case. We really need a vacation, we've been busy since the Titans were formed, and probably None of them are together for more than a week. This problem is like cell phone replacement, for the older generation of cell phones, it is eliminated, it is discarded in the corner and no one patronizes it again, and for humans Well, they've improved. Isn't that something to be glad about?"

"But then there's another problem."

"Yes, how to prevent super power from turning into super violence is a problem at the level of government management. I went to China once during my vacation and visited China's sharpshooter club. Do you know what they impressed me the most? ? When we entered their workstation, we found a slogan on the wall. Bucky thought it was written on the goal or something, but it was not. There were two sentences on it—” Lucy shrugged, “Development doesn’t happen overnight, It’s not once and for all.”

Will laughed. "That sounds metaphysical."

"The sharpshooter will say these two sentences are said by their chairman, but they are actually quite intelligent. We also often have sociologists say these things, but who can really understand it. If Senator Stern can understand With this sentence, he will not initiate the superhero registration act, because he should know that now he can't come up with a supporting protection plan, can he?"

The talk show ended in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. After the end, Will asked them: "What are you going to do next, the Senate is going to come really, a congressman I know, I can't tell you the name, said Ster Senator Eun's bill is ready."

Lucy said: "I've heard it, and I'm waiting for the details. I wouldn't veto the registration bill outright. If it's true, as Mr. Stern said, he has probably convinced a third of the senators by now. Congressman. This also shows that some parts of Titan may not be done well. If they make sense, we will study and propose a replacement proposal. But the real-name registration is absolutely impossible.”

"My God, it's rare to see a wise person like you in this era." Will took out a cigarette and lit it, "Washington has become a base camp for denying politics. side, endlessly slowing down all agendas, they don't know how to cooperate."

Bucky was deeply touched.

Will thought about it for a few seconds: "I decided to make a few phone calls and chat with a few senators. I can save five votes for you. I'm sure you have to work hard next."

Lucy counted the votes in her head, and the balance of victory was tilting towards her little by little.First the strike, then public opinion, and finally...

"Then next, it's the hard bones of the senators."
