New York, Avengers Alliance Tower headquarters.
A group of superheroes who survived the snap of Thanos are gathering together to discuss how to deal with the current serious problem of magical energy raging on the earth and even beginning to change the ecological environment.
As the current top leader of the earth's magic community, Mordo was also invited to attend.
Without any nonsense, he directly explained to the laymen present, including the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the representatives from International Security Council, in an unhurried tone. "Everyone! Although this magical energy has a negative impact on the ecology and environment of the earth, It has caused a lot of impact, and even caused a certain degree of riots, but I assure you, this is a good thing for all mankind, because it will greatly increase the human body's ability to withstand magical energy, and at the same time, it will also give those children, especially babies, powerful magical talents."
"Wait a moment!" An old man in his sixties suddenly interrupted. "Master Mordo, I admit that you are an out-and-out authority in magic. But please note that so far, these unknown energies have caused not only riots, but also serious social problems and public security problems. According to the reports we have received, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York alone In big cities such as and San Francisco, the crime rate has almost doubled year-on-year. More than 60% of the increase has been caused by the use of magic-like Superpowers. Ordinary police and law enforcement units have nothing to do with these super Ability User, and some are even controlled and forced to become accomplices in crime."
"Sorry, those are United States's social problems and the structural crisis caused by Thanos's snapping of fingers to wipe out half of the world's population. They have nothing to do with this energy. For example, I am US Government's Senior officials will reflect on their management capabilities, institutional problems, and long-standing traditions of racial discrimination and unfair wealth distribution. Why does the same situation not appear in East Asian countries?" Mordo replied unceremoniously.
As a black man, he has no favorable impression at all of a country like United States, which has long enslaved and oppressed black people.
What's more, as several of the world's largest transnational capital interest groups have been destroyed by Hydra, United States's national power has become unprecedentedly weak, Wall Street's financial securities trading market has plummeted, countless banks and companies have gone bankrupt, and the number of people who committed suicide by jumping from buildings once even exceeded the number of gun deaths.
As for the financial and military hegemony that United States once relied on, it turned into dust and drifted in the wind with the snap of Thanos's fingers.
Some of these states have even openly shown a strong tendency to secede from the Union. They have held several rounds of referendums on independence, which is somewhat similar to the situation in which British Empire was declining after the end of WWII.
In addition, for a long time, politicians and capitalists have deliberately provoked racial, gender, and religious conflicts in order to cover up class contradictions, which have become increasingly acute.
If it weren't for the banner of Earth Federation, maybe we would be where we are Branch Family tomorrow.
Representative United States obviously did not expect that Mordo, a mage, would fall out at any time, completely ignoring his identity as representative United States. He was choked for a long time and did not know how to refute.
As for the rhetoric system of "freedom" and "democracy" that was advocated in the past, now even the United States people themselves no longer believe it, let alone others.
Seeing the formerly arrogant representative United States deflated in public, representatives from several other countries couldn't help but show mocking expressions.
Nothing makes them feel more physically and mentally happy than seeing the decline of the former global hegemon who sanctioned anyone it said it would sanction.
Because as United States loses control and influence globally, the power vacuum left will inevitably be filled by other countries.
These power vacuums represent important bargaining chips in the future power competition within Earth Federation.
Seeing these big powers start a new round of overt and covert fighting, Iron Man Tony·Stark, who has been trying to promote human integration, suddenly felt a headache.
Just when he was about to tell a cold joke to relieve the tense atmosphere, a spatial rift suddenly appeared out of thin air without warning.
Before anyone else could react, a familiar figure came out from the other side.
Surprisingly, it was Allen who had disappeared for a while.
"Who?!"
The security guards responsible for protecting representatives from various countries drew their weapons, locked the intruder firmly through various advanced imaging cameras, and were ready to fire at any time.
no way!
Recently, various criminal groups who have awakened their magical abilities have become so difficult to guard against that the security teams of senior officials and heads of state in various countries are always in a state of nervous tension.
"Idiot! Put down the gun quickly! If you don't want to die!" Mordo yelled.
It's a pity that the security personnel employed by the government will obviously not obey the command of a mage. Instead, they became more nervous because of these words.
I don't know who it was, but I couldn't bear the amazing momentum Allen inadvertently exuded, and accidentally pressed the launch button.
moment!
A dazzling high-energy beam shot out from the muzzle.
And his firing immediately triggered a chain reaction, and all the security personnel chose to fire in unison.
For a moment, the dazzling beams of light completely enveloped Allen from head to toe. Some of them accidentally missed and immediately melted the reinforced walls, creating large holes with black smoke.
When the pungent burnt smell filled the air, Tony·Stark reacted and immediately stood up and raised his hands to release the biting cold air, freezing all the guys holding energy weapons in place, forcibly ending the farce caused by the misunderstanding.
After finishing all this, he held his forehead and complained, "Do you know who you are attacking? Or, do you know that if you really anger this guy, the entire earth will turn into insignificant dust in the universe in an instant?"
Gudong!
Representatives from various countries who came to attend the meeting saw clearly their true identity. They began to swallow uncontrollably, and large drops of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Representative United States discovered that it was the agent beside him who opened fire first. He immediately stood up and said in a slightly trembling voice, "I'm extremely sorry, Your Excellency Allen. We didn't recognize you just now and thought it was an invading enemy."
"It doesn't matter. For such a trivial misunderstanding and offense, I am not so small-minded that I want to be held accountable. If you don't mind, can you give me some time to talk to Tony·Stark alone?" Allen shook off the non-existent dust on his body and made a request.
Although the tone was in a discussion tone, it revealed that he could not refuse.
"Of course!"
"Let's leave now!"
"Thank you so much for your generosity."
In just three to five seconds, these guys stood up with their bodyguards and pushed Opening Gate out of the room.
Now, only Mordo and a few members of the Avengers Alliance are left in this conference room.
Among them, Thor, who had been holding back his resentment for a long time, stood up and asked angrily, "Why? Why didn't you show up when Thanos attacked? Do you know? Asgard and the earth both lost more than half of their population because of that bastard's snap of his fingers."
"Haha, you still haven't changed at all. Sorry, I refuse to answer this question now, because in the near future, you will understand that my current non-participation is all for that moment." Allen smiled and patted "Thor" on the shoulder.
Oh no.
It should now be called "Brother Axe".
Because Mjolnir has been placed in the collection room of Sky City, Thor is now using Stormbreaker.
"Damn it! I hate you smart people who know everything but refuse to tell it." Thor cursed in a low voice, turned around and left the conference room, heading towards the direction of the bar.
Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, he didn't continue to ask.
Because Thor understands that since Allen refuses to say it now, there must be a reason why it is impossible to say it.
Coupled with the gap in strength between the two, he couldn't force the other party to speak with his fists, so he could only drink to drown his sorrows.
After seeing off the outspoken Thunder God, Allen immediately glanced at the remaining people present, and then announced bluntly, "I'm leaving!"
"What?!" Captain America Steve·Rogers suddenly stood up from the chair.
Standing up with him was Black Widow Natasha, who remained calm on the surface but was in a state of panic inside.
After all, one of the two accepted Holy Light energy and became Paladin, and the other accepted Shadow Energy and became an assassin.
No one knows whether the energy will continue to be continuously supplied as usual after Allen leaves.
"Calm down! Allen has said from the beginning that he will leave one day, and there is nothing to make a fuss about."
Iron Man, who got the news in advance, took the initiative to comfort the other members of the Avengers Alliance.
However, his performance obviously aroused the suspicion of Captain America, who immediately interrupted, "Stark! Did you get the news a long time ago without notifying us?"
"I'm sorry, captain. I have a last resort. If I reveal those secrets, there will be strong uncertain changes in the future. Believe me, this is not a good thing for everyone."
While saying these words, Tony·Stark raised his head and stared into Steve's eyes.
The two looked at each other for several minutes before Captain America took a deep breath and said, "Okay! I will believe you this time. But promise me not to disappoint all of us."
"Don't worry! I will never let anyone down this time, including myself." Iron Man gave the assurance without hesitation.
In this way, the crisis of suspicion and trust that was about to break out was successfully resolved by the two leaders of the Avengers Alliance.
Subsequently, Steve·Rogers left the conference room with everyone else, leaving enough space for Allen and Tony·Stark.
But when Quicksilver passed by Allen, he couldn't help but ask, "Where is Wanda?"
"She would not leave with me, but chose to stay." Allen gave the answer expressionlessly.
"Stay?" A shocked expression appeared on Quicksilver's face.
Because he always felt that his emotional sister would eventually leave with him.
Allen nodded slightly. "Yes! She can't let go of you, her only relative, nor can she let go of this troubled world. And I will always respect the decision she made. As for where she went, I don't know exactly. Because she disappeared on her own from the moment the preparations were completed. I think she needs some time to adapt and integrate into her new life."
"Okay, I get it."
Quicksilver was obviously worried about his sister's condition, and instantly turned into a white silver light and rushed out, and within an extremely short time went to his residence, school and other places where Wanda used to go.
On the other side, Allen stood by the window of the Avengers Alliance Building conference room, looking down at the scenery outside, and asked without looking back, "Where is the parting gift you promised to prepare for me?"
"Don't worry! I've prepared that thing a long time ago. But before that, I want to have one last conversation with you. In other words, I want to know more details about the future from you." Tony·Stark also followed to the window.
It's just that he was not in the mood to admire the scenery outside the window. Instead, he focused all his attention on Allen, and at the same time felt the pressure on his shoulders double.
"Okay! If you have anything you want to know, you can ask now. But you should understand that the future is constantly changing, and from the moment you know what is going to happen in the future, the timeline will inevitably change." Allen gave Iron Man a precaution in advance.
"I know this very well, and I will be careful not to damage it as much as possible. Oh, by the way, I have another good news to tell you. Pepper and I's first child will be born soon. Your prediction is very accurate! I didn't expect that we would have another lovely daughter at this age."
When Tony·Stark mentioned her soon-to-be-born child, a happy smile appeared on her face.
Because now he is a typical winner in life who is envied, jealous, and hated by others.
When he was young, this guy used to indulge unbridledly, whether it was drinking or indulgence, he didn't miss a single thing.
When he reaches middle age, he suddenly wakes up overnight. Not only does he carry forward the Stark Industries he received from his father, but he also becomes a superhero who saves the world. He also has a stable relationship and secretly participates in promoting the establishment of Earth Federation.
Now I not only have a lovely adopted daughter, but also a biological daughter.
If this is not a winner in life, then there are no winners in life in the world.
"Congratulations! It seems that I have to prepare a gift for your unborn little cutie." Allen smiled and sent his blessings.
"Hahahaha! Of course! But it's not one share, but two. Don't forget, I have two daughters, you have to treat them equally." Tony·Stark bargained in a half-joking tone.
Allen nodded happily. "No problem! I have to go through the treasure house and find two suitable things as gifts."
