The era of American comics begins

Chapter 436 The Absconding Leader
early morning.

Before dawn, a huge steel behemoth appeared in the sky of the Avengers headquarters.The space trembled, the air flow overflowed, and the air waves pressed the plants on the lawn to bend down one after another. Steel lines emerged one by one, and the huge black Helicarrier lifted its invisibility in mid-air.

Iron Man was the first to jump off the mothership, followed by an elite squad covered in iron armor.The team's equipment looks exactly like Iron Man, only more crude.They have gray and black shells, with the eagle emblem of Aegis painted on their shoulders, tail flames blowing out from the soles of their feet, and a simple arc reactor installed on their chests.

Undoubtedly, it was their new director who personally upgraded the equipment.

Tony fully considered the cost and craftsmanship of the mass-produced machine, and first designed this batch of trial-type armor, which was specially used for the elite team of Aegis.According to his vision, he wants to build a steel team as the ace of Aegis, which can not only fight against super criminals but also participate in the frontal battlefield against large-scale aggression.

But now, he brought this team to the Avengers headquarters to accept the order of his superiors to solve a problem.

Tony unlocked the door directly, signaling the army to wait outside, and strode into the building himself. ,

When we came to the hall, some of the Avengers were already waiting here. But only a part of them.Without opening his mouth, he could roughly guess what was going on with the rest.

Captain America is not here.

"Knock on the door, guys." Tony stepped forward and lifted the armor's helmet, "Where did the captain go?"

"What do you think?" Colonel Rhodes crossed his arms.

Vision said, "Captain left headquarters last night. Agents Patton, Sam, and Agent Romanov followed him."

"Well, less than I expected."

Yes, Tony has known, since before he told the captain yesterday that the bill was going to be on the line.Because Captain America is not the kind of person who will compromise by nature, if his principles and bottom line are touched, then even if the opponent is the United Nations and the government, he will resist to the end.

Now he's gone, taking a few other Avengers with him, even if their identities have changed from heroes to wanted criminals.

Tony said as he walked out: "Hill, the target has disappeared, and the captain is no longer here. Prepare to issue a wanted report"

"Mr. Stark." Peter said suddenly.

Tony paused: "What's the matter, kid?"

"Are we really going to capture the captain?"

Tony turned around.

"Do your part well, kid." He didn't answer directly, "I'll let you know if I have a task."

He left without giving a definite answer.Or rather, he only made more questions.

What is the duty, what is the duty now?

Peter felt as if he wasn't so sure anymore.

***
Washington, D.C., noon.

"This is not the situation we originally envisioned." A member of the congressman said at the conference table. "The introduction of the bill itself has been controversial enough. The last thing we need now is to get out of control."

"You said categorically at the time that everything was under control." Another member of parliament said, "You said that even if some people objected, it would not be a problem. At most, it was just some second-rate people on the street. Street action superheroes will have no problem, that's why we rushed the bill like that. But look now? Even Captain America's absconded with a bunch of Avengers."

"All of us have to admit that things went way beyond expectations, but we all voted and it was a joint decision. It was never assumed that the introduction of the Heroes Act would not be subject to any controversy. But the current situation It appears that the situation is still under control.”

"Really? I think you should look out the window and repeat what you said."

Everyone subconsciously looked out the window.The gate of the White House has long been blocked by the parade crowd, and countless signs are held high, with various slogans written on them.Supporters and opponents of the bill, the crowd was divided into two camps and yelled at each other. If there were no official personnel controlling the scene, the scene might have escalated from verbal to large-scale physical conflict.

"Captain America's absconded, this must be taken seriously." Another said, "I think all of us here know that Steve Rogers is not just another superhuman to us and to this country , his choice to stand on the other side means that those metahumans who oppose the bill have a unified leadership. They will be organized and they will become an effective force, which we may not be able to handle."

Everyone was silent.

Indeed, Captain America means a lot to this country, especially to superheroes.He is the original Avenger, a spiritual leader, a legendary hero who has been written into textbooks and even has his own museum.And he has such a high status, it is all thanks to this country.

But the leaders are actually very helpless. They spare no effort to package Captain America as a spiritual leader, hoping that the existence of this image can inspire the patriotic sentiment of the people and increase the cohesion of the people.But all of this is based on the premise that the hero is dead.Anyway, they all died heroically, and it is impossible to climb out of the grave to ask the government for something. Such resources are not in vain.

However, the fact is that Captain America has really crawled out of the grave, and is now taking the lead in singing against the government.With the current influence of Captain America, if he raises his arms, let alone the registration bill, the entire political world may suffer a huge impact.All their efforts to package and publicize the glorious life of Captain America in the past have now turned into stones that hit themselves in the foot
"Indeed, a rebel force with a leader is a completely different matter." The congressmen fell into deep thought.

"Then maybe we can create a leader."

Everyone turned around following the sound, and found that it was Tony Stark, the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who had been silent all this time.He sat at the end of the conference table, leaning over to watch the crowd.

"What do you mean, Director Stark?" someone asked.

"It means that professionals do professional things." Tony stood up from his seat, looked at the big figures, and said, "Just do your job well. According to the original plan, the bill will continue to be introduced, and everyone who is willing to accept Registered superhumans are first registered step by step."

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes.

"As for Captain America, gentlemen. Let Captain America leave it to us."
