Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

Fury is woken up in the middle of the night by a secret circuit.

Fury said angrily: "Is there anything you have to let me know now?"

Maria Hill's voice came from the other end: "Can you get an A on your TV, it's showing Will McAvoy now."

Fury couldn't believe that Maria had woken him out of bed just to get him to watch a late night show. He had much more important things to do than watch TV: "I don't have time."

"I suggest that you'd better read it, and you'll be prepared to burn yourself out for a while."

Maria Hill simply hung up the phone, and Fury couldn't sleep anymore. He tried to ignore Maria Hill's request, but he put on his pajamas and sat in front of the TV.

Hill was right, he was really going to be prepared for a while, he couldn't even put his ass on the sofa anymore, he called Hill back: "All S.H.I.E.L.D. agents above level 59 have a meeting and reiterate the principle of confidentiality , All employees of the technical department must strengthen the firewall of SHIELD during this period, absolutely not allowing anyone to steal the information of SHIELD. Especially protect box [-]."

"I understand." Maria knew that box 59 contained all the research records of the Rubik's Cube exploration plan. "How does the World Security Council solve it?"

"I'll give them an answer."

Fury hung up the phone. He was always full of confidence, but this matter was a bit uncertain. He had to face up to the most important issue now, the matter of the Rubik's Cube in the universe. The Rubik's Cube rises.There is nothing wrong with this, but the information that the World Security Council can understand is that because of the Rubik's Cube, Loki is like a bad guy following a shark smelling blood.S.H.I.E.L.D. is a gentleman who is not guilty, but who is guilty.

But Fury didn't say that when he was studying the Rubik's Cube, the passage to another world was opened.He convinced himself that he wasn't sure if Loki's coming to Earth had anything to do with his research, maybe it was just two things that happened by chance?

But Bucky publicly stated that the World Security Council must give an explanation on this matter.If Bucky told him about this in private, he might answer that it was a secret and then fool around.It would be easier if Bucky told the army about it. SHIELD and the army have always been two-way people, and even the SHIELD has a higher status. This matter can't cause any disturbance at all.

But Bucky was on TV. Although it was at 11 o'clock, this is a media age. After one night of fermentation, it is enough to set off a hurricane in the United States and even the whole world.

Captain America complicates everything in the simplest way.

Fury can imagine what will happen next. Some civil rights organizations will jump out to question the World Security Committee first, then the traditional media, then Congress, and the US government will definitely put pressure on them to pass on the contradictions, and finally—the world The safety committee has to give an answer, so they go into the formal process to investigate themselves.

Procedures, this is the most disgusting thing since Fury became the head. Procedures will slow down your pace infinitely. Sometimes democracy is not a good thing. The more people express their opinions, the fewer people will do things. Everyone will wait and see, afraid Take responsibility, and every last plan will be aborted.

If the Red Skull was standing in front of Fury, Fury would just pick up the cannonball and shoot it out.But the program, this invisible rope, firmly helped him, making him breathless.

Looks like tonight is really a sleepless night.

McAvoy obviously made sufficient preparations. The subtitle machine posted an introduction about the World Security Council. The World Security Council is an intergovernmental cooperation organization under the framework of the United Nations and abides by international law. The permanent members include the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia. , China, India, France and other twelve countries, the predecessor of the subordinate S.H.I.E.L.D. is the Strategic Science Corps, and the first generation of American Captain Steve Rogers is the product of its experiments.It was originally a U.S. native protection agency, but it was officially separated from the U.S. government system after the U.S. joined the World Security Council.

Its main body is in the United States, but it is only responsible to the World Security Council.

No wonder Amanda Waller hates S.H.I.E.L.D. so much. How could that woman with a strong desire to control allow a large-scale spy agency to operate in the United States without being completely controlled by the US government?

After the expansion came back, McAvoy continued to face the camera.

"According to our survey, the World Security Council has more than 190 member countries, and its daily operating funds come from governments, companies, and private donations. The United States injects up to 25% of its funds, and our defense expenditures reach 8000 billion US dollars every year. During the Great War in New York, not only did our national defense show its weakness, the Security Council of the World did not protect us in time, and New Yorkers, as victims, could not even participate in the prosecution of war criminals. Our 'simple and efficient' Congress, in After Tony Stark became Iron Man, a hearing against Stark was held within a hundred days, arguing that his Iron Man technology endangered public safety. No response at all, is our government dumb?"

McAvoy heard his partner chuckle in the headset: "You finally couldn't help but fire at Congress. You will be interviewed by the higher-ups tomorrow, I swear."

McAvoy raised his chin proudly. Of course, their TV station has always maintained a very close personal relationship with several members of Congress. Pointing the finger at Congress is tantamount to slapping them in the face and mocking them.Then Congress will definitely react. A will become a political tool, but he will not.

He turned to Captain America: "Barnes, you just mentioned that you belong to the U.S. Army, but now you are a captain who is not subordinate and serving, is that right? Is SHIELD qualified to directly transfer the captain of the U.S. Army?" To serve it?"

"I don't know very well. S.H.I.E.L.D. dug me out of the ice and let me participate in their activities. As I said, S.H.I.E.L.D. was formerly known as the Strategic Science Corps, and that's where I worked. I started I promised them without knowing that they had been separated from the U.S. Army."

"So you don't know where you really belong now?"

"I don't know, at least I haven't received any salary from either agency."

McAvoy laughed, did he hear correctly, Captain America has no salary?

Bucky explained: "After I woke up, I adjusted to my new life for a while, including getting a credit card, a new bank account, using a mobile phone and a computer, and I lived in a place provided by SHIELD for me. Forgot about it. I'm not in the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent system, and I don't know which Army system I'm in."

Bucky thought he sounded like a homeless man, he waved his hands hastily: "Don't think of me as a beggar. I rely on my friend Tony Stark for help, and he is not short of money."

McAvoy laughed cooperatively.

"The only thing I need is a sense of belonging." Bucky said seriously, trying to think of his own words, "All the friends who were in my generation have left me, and I wake up in a strange world, But like a kite with a broken string, I don’t know where I should stay, I want to talk to someone, but most of my friends are lying in the cemetery.”

At this moment, the eyes of the women in front of the TV are full of love, and they look at Captain America with the eyes of "oh look at this poor little baby, he is like a dog lost by the owner".

Then they remembered the shocking figures that McAvoy said before, and they all became angry: "The U.S. National Defense Force spends as much as 8000 billion U.S. dollars every year, and they don't even give Captain America a penny. Captain America is a hero." !! Is this how the United States treats its heroes? Thanks to the fact that everyone still thinks we are a heroic country.”

"I'm sure the military will have an answer after our show airs. But Captain America, is your intention to go back to the military? I heard you signed something called the Avengers Agreement. This agreement If it goes into effect, does it conflict with the terms of service for U.S. soldiers?"

"I signed a 1941 military service contract."

Bucky's words almost made McAvoy spit out.

Bucky blinked slyly: "Although I don't know if that contract is still valid, and I don't know whether the current military service contract does not allow soldiers to personally participate in other non-official aid organizations, but I am sure that the 1941 I am definitely allowed to do this. If not..." Bucky spread his hands, "Anyway, I am already over 90 years old, so I should be able to retire."

His half-joking remarks sparked laughter in the recording room. McAvoy nodded and said to the audience: "We have the Avengers agreement signed by Captain Barnes with permission, which clearly stipulates that the signing agreement The corresponding obligations and responsibilities of the Avengers. This contract is very comprehensive, and it even includes the handling details of the heroes participating in the rescue under certain special circumstances. We will not interpret it too much in the program, but there is one point that arouses My attention, this contract mentions remuneration, is it an employment contract?"

Bucky admits: "It's a co-op contract because the superheroes can keep their solo jobs and take on the Titan rescue missions at the same time."

"Titan—this non-governmental cooperation international rescue organization, will it pay you accordingly?"

"of course."

"Titan is not a public welfare organization?"

"It is a public welfare organization. I think you have misunderstood something. A public welfare organization only needs to complete the public welfare rescue tasks stipulated in its own registration. There is no law that stipulates that a public welfare organization cannot make profits. Therefore, the scope of Titan's public welfare includes launching high-level Hazard Rescue, which means the Titans don't have to deal with every crisis in every detail."

"How do you judge who should be rescued and who should not be rescued?"

It's a trap, McAvoy tries to warn Captain America with a sly smile.

Everyone is equal before life, and as long as it is within its capacity, it should do its best to rescue. If a person, or an organization, especially a public welfare organization, judges who is "worthy" of saving without authorization, and can sit back and watch others die, it will A staggering loss of reputation.

However, if you think about it from another standpoint, a superhero saving a kitten on a tree is a waste of ability, time, and money. In the commodity society of the United States, this kind of unequal exchange is the biggest inequality.

Bucky gave a vague and very scientific answer: "Stark Corporation is working on a set of algorithms, using big data and existing experience, to finally make a risk assessment, and finally divide it into three levels. The third level of crisis can be Normal government agencies deal with it, the second-level crisis is that if heroes don’t deal with it, it will cause greater damage, most of the time it is casualties, and the first-level crisis is beyond the scope of ordinary human capabilities.”

"That's something that can only be done by superheroes."

"Such as large-scale explosions, nuclear leaks, etc., and the premise is that we must be able to arrive in time. But we will also investigate some potential threats and kill them in the cradle before they happen. But for specific details, you can only ask I went to understand the Titan organization. When I came in, I found that you have a world news sharing system, and Titan also has it. It usually selects rescue missions from the orange and red levels. We..."

Bucky tries to explain how the Titans work, but it suddenly feels like that's not as important as what he's going to say next, that the Titans are noticeable enough tonight, and he's going to say something else.

"Titans, an organization, cannot collect information from all over the world and launch rescues in a timely manner. But Will, Titans are not alone, we... are not alone." Bucky said affectionately, "We can share information, share Crisis, joint rescue, the world is not saved by superheroes, on the contrary, it is you who really save the world, superheroes need everyone, need your wisdom, strength, and sense of justice."

Bucky took a deep breath, waving his hands along with his words, as if conducting a band, his words flowed out like music and entered people's hearts: "Humans are not the most powerful animals in this world, but the reason why we are The civilized world was built because we know the power of unity. In the human world, there are weak and strong. They may exclude each other, or they may sympathize with each other. I don't know, but I know one thing is eternal, they need each other. "

Lucy looked up at the TV, and at Bucky, feeling her eyes warm.Bucky's words touched her deeply, and she deeply felt that although they always have a little different views on various things, among all people, Bucky is the person who understands her thoughts best.They come from different eras, but they strive for the same goal. Their souls transcend everything, are strongly attracted, and finally collide together.

Lucy remembered that Bucky once said to her: On your way forward, I will protect you.

This sentence gave her infinite courage and cleared all her doubts. She knew that as long as she still adhered to her original philosophy, Captain America would always be by her side.

Lucy rested her chin, but the place where her fingers touched was stained with slippery liquid. Only then did Lucy realize that she was crying unknowingly.As for the others, a female staff member put her hand on the cross on her chest, muttering something.Tonight, recalling the Great War in New York brought back their painful memories. Just like 911/[-], people were immersed in fear and worry, but the words of Captain America made them realize that no matter how many disasters strike, people can walk away. come out.

We are no longer primitive beings who light torches, listen to howling beasts, and spend long nights in fear. Together we built this world, and each of us can save it.

We are not alone.

The officer on duty at the news distribution station suddenly opened her eyes wide, and she yelled: "Brooklyn pier exploded! Red level, the explosive is unknown, and it is still spreading."

"The news will be broadcast in 15 minutes!"

The entire newsroom is in motion, people are running in a small space, everyone is busy but in an orderly manner.

"Maggie, I'll give you a call to contact the sheriff and fire chief of Brooklyn."

"The phone number of the person in charge of the port is..."

"Is this a terrorist attack?"

"Are there any casualties? Is your informant reliable? How far is he from the port?"

"Which is the nearest hospital? I need two on-site correspondents, and one to go to the hospital to understand the situation."

Lucy felt people intersect and weave a fine web before her eyes, a newsroom as busy as the president's crisis communications office.

McAvoy helped Mike in the live broadcast room: "Captain America, a huge explosion just happened in your birthplace, Brooklyn."

Bucky Barnes stood up, and he left the studio without saying a word, saying goodbye or shaking hands.

McAvoy's editor-director partner yelled in the live broadcast room: "Are you in the mobile camera, follow him, follow him, I will help you manage the cable!" The director followed behind the mobile camera, pulling the live connection cable , trot all the way.

Bucky saw Lucy who had been waiting for him in the editing room. He kept walking, put his arms around Lucy's waist, and led her forward together: "I'll deal with this matter, I'll be right back."

Lucy said, "I'm going to contact Tony."

"No need." The golden-red Iron Man spewed flames from his feet, landed on the door of A, threw Captain America's star shield to Bucky, and stretched out a hand, "Would you like a ride, Captain?"

Bucky's metal arm rested on Iron Man's shoulder, and Iron Man flew up with him, and disappeared into the American night sky like a jet of fireworks.

The live camera raised the machine and recorded until the last of their figures disappeared, and then he put down the camera with a sigh of relief.

"I feel like I'm witnessing history tonight."
