Galactic Plumbers Meeting
Originally, although Ben knew that S.H.I.E.L.D.. was essentially a snake's den, he didn't have any particular interest in Hydra.
After all, this has little to do with him.
But now, Hydra has found a way to kill itself.
Cut off one head and two heads grow back?
Ben said, "I'll just chop you into mincemeat!"
Of course, this matter should not be rushed.
At least Nick Fury was right about one thing: Hydra is a bunch of rotten scum in the gutter. Taking rash action will only alert them. Throughout history, in different stories, anything even remotely related to snakes is hard to kill off completely.
For example, there's this guy who has no nose and this guy who likes gender swapping.
Even if Ben were to storm S.H.I.E.L.D.. right now, blow up their Helicarrier, and kill all the S.H.I.E.L.D.. members, he would only kill a small fraction of Hydra.
It's even possible that it's just one or two heads.
The possible consequence, however, is that he might have to become an enemy of the entire country.
"Very good, eliminating Hydra is the first mission of our Galactic Plumbers Earth Branch since its establishment," Ben said.
"However, we need to devise a detailed plan."
"Let's go find Harry tomorrow, and then the three of us will discuss it together," Ben said.
"Should we involve Harry too?"
Peter frowned, worried this would bring Harry trouble and danger. But Ben slapped him on the back of the head and said:
"It's not about getting involved. Harry was a member of the Galactic Plumbers, and he's our friend, remember?"
"He'll be unhappy if you exclude him from something this important!"
"Peter, remember, sometimes secrets come at a price."
Peter a vague understanding.
The next day, Ben, Mary Jane, and Peter went to school together.
After arriving at the school, Felicia joined the team.
She and Mary Jane stood on opposite sides of Ben, and then said happily, "Today we're going to another classroom, both classes together. I guess we can have classes together in the future."
Because the wall of the classroom was broken through yesterday, the students from both classes were moved to another classroom. As for the original two classrooms, I heard that the school plans to completely connect them and merge the two classes into one.
Ben guessed that this was most likely Harry's suggestion.
Otherwise, wouldn't rebuilding the wall attract more oil and grease than tearing it down?
As the group passed by the old classroom, Ben spotted a familiar figure.
Thor wore a faded vest, gripped a large hammer in both hands, and his face was covered in sweat and dust. His once golden hair had been cut short, leaving him with a short buzz cut, which made him look much more resolute.
For Asgardian, hair is another life.
But there's nothing I can do, it's just too damn hot.
If he could, Thor wouldn't want to cut his hair, but after fainting from the scorching sun once, he changed his mind.
Fuck your hair!
Anyway, nobody on this earth knows me, so what if I cut my hair? Nobody will know. Most importantly, Loki won't know.
Thor couldn't stand Loki's mockery the most.
Ben never expected that he would see Thor at Midtown High School one day, especially since Thor was there as a worker.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that he still loves Hammer.
Ben did not let this opportunity pass; he immediately decided to give his men some small perks.
So, Ben took his phone and walked over to Thor, who was still working, and took a picture with him while Thor looked on in confusion.
What are you?
Thor frowned and asked.
He remembered that the thing Ben was holding was something like a cell phone.
"It's nothing, I just thought you looked a lot like my friend's older brother, so I took a picture of you."
Ben spoke, he sent the photo to Loki.
The communication devices of the Galactic Plumbers can be used Infinity throughout the universe.
Loki replied quickly.
Loki:!!!
Loki: Where?
Ben: Earth, come quick!
Loki: Let's go now!
Sakaar.
Loki, who was working on city planning, suddenly stood up, startling Caiera was standing not far away.
"Caiera, prepare the spaceship for me!"
Loki rubbed his hands together excitedly. Although he himself now had a buzz cut, it didn't matter; he could use magic to create illusions, but Thor was different.
Just wait, my dear brother!
"What's wrong?"
"Caiera asked."
"Never mind that, just remember to let the boss contact me!"
Loki puffed out his chest and said.
At this moment, he was completely convinced of Ben. Where could he find a superior like this who had good things and thought of his subordinates?
Loki swore that from this day forward he would never betray the Galactic Plumbers!
Loyalty!
Although Caiera couldn't understand what Loki was up to again, she immediately prepared a spaceship for him upon hearing that it was Ben's order.
However, given the distance to Sakaar, it will likely take Loki some time to reach Earth.
After taking a picture with Thor, Ben bought him a cold drink from a vending machine, and the oblivious Thor immediately categorized Ben as a good guy.
Although it was just a cold drink, it was a rare source of warmth for Thor, who had suffered a lot during this period.
Upon arriving at the new classroom, Ben pondered:
"I didn't expect Thor to still be on Earth, and without regaining his divine powers. It seems that the Hammer of Thor has most likely been contained by S.H.I.E.L.D.."
Bant realized, without thinking about it, that S.H.I.E.L.D.. Ben has a lot of good stuff.
Putting everything else aside, the Cosmic Cube alone is an incredible treasure. Not to mention, S.H.I.E.L.D.. has been trying to crack the Super Soldier Serum for many years, and although they haven't been able to completely replicate Captain America's version yet, the data from it is still very valuable for reference.
Now that he had decided to take on S.H.I.E.L.D.., Ben was thinking about how to make S. H. I. E. L. D. explode with coins.
Harry was already there when they arrived at the new classroom.
He waved to them from his seat.
Ben and his group walked over to him and casually found a place to sit down nearby.
Harry asked, "How is Thompson?"
Yesterday at the hospital, although Ben stepped forward to say that Primus would take care of Flash's treatment, Ben, who didn't want to expose himself at school, attributed everything to Harry Osborn.
"His injuries have healed, but his memory has been impaired. I left him in the sanatorium on the 15th floor of Primus. His parents already know and are taking care of him there now."
Upon hearing this, Harry felt that this was already a very good outcome.
Compared to life, memories seem somewhat insignificant. Even if Flash truly cannot recover his past memories, he can still acquire new ones.
"Harry, after school tonight, let's go to Primus."
Some things are simply not convenient to say at school, and Harry, hearing Ben's serious tone, guessed what it was all about.
Felicia and Mary Jane exchanged a glance, both seeing curiosity in each other's eyes.
However, they didn't think much of it.
After all, what could three men possibly get up to in Primus?
"You're planning to do research?"
Ben nodded. "More or less."
Who can say that studying snake-killing isn't research?
In the afternoon, after school.
The three arrived at Primus, a huge Primus without even security guards. Two Iron Robots were placed at the entrance by Ben, standing motionless like stone lions.
They looked completely broken, but nobody dared to gamble on them.
"It's too empty here."
Harry, one hand in his pocket, said, "It was fine when Primus was so small it was like a lab, but it's time to hire some staff."
Actually, Harry wasn't wrong.
The Primus Building has hundreds of floors, but at most there are only six or seven people inside, even including the Flash family who are still recuperating.
Currently, Primus is able to operate normally thanks in large part to the people on Osborn's side who are doing the work of two companies in terms of business operations...
Eunice also did all the data work by herself.
But this can't go on forever.
Ben nodded; Primus really should hire some employees.
"You didn't call me over today just to have me help you choose employees, did you?" Harry asked.
Upon hearing this, Ben rolled his eyes. "Such a trivial matter shouldn't trouble Young Master Harry; it's Peter's business."
Then Peter began to explain what had happened to Harry.
The three of them talked as they entered the underground conference room. Ben pressed a button, and a white table slowly rose from the floor. He then changed into Spider-Man's costume, sat in the main seat, and clasped his hands together, which were bound by chains.
"Alright, let's begin the Galactic Plumbers Meeting."
Is it necessary to be so serious?
Harry thought it was a bit of an exaggeration that Ben had even changed into his uniform.
"Of course it's necessary, it's just a matter of procedure. You should change into it too. Oh, I forgot your new battle suit isn't ready yet. Never mind, you can stand there."
Harry:???
Harry certainly couldn't stand during the meeting.
After the three were seated, Ben said, "Harry Osborn, the Plumbers, Spider-Man must have already told you what happened on the way here."
Harry scratched his head. "Benny, weren't you right there when Peter was talking? And why are you so shy all of a sudden?"
"No sense of order!" The white eyes on the Ben spider mask narrowed, looking at Harry with displeasure.
"Weigh plants while working!"
After a brief commotion, Ben, under the speechless gazes of Peter and Harry, turned on the virtual screen.
Then he stood up, supporting himself on the table with both hands, and said:
"This time our enemy is Hydra, but unlike the intelligence Nick Fury brought, we're not facing a half-dead, useless snake, but a treacherous and cunning viper lurking in the lifeline of this nation!"
"What's the meaning?"
Peter didn't understand.
"In the familiar story, after Captain America Steve Rogers defeated Red Skull, Hydra began to crumble and is now completely a thing of the past in the eyes of ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, Harry and Peter nodded simultaneously.
"But Captain America and Nick Fury told me that Hydra wasn't completely wiped out," Peter said.
"He's right, but there are some differences in the details." Ben emphasized the word "details."
"In reality, Hydra has never been eradicated. As they say, if you cut off one head, two more will grow back. They haven't collapsed; on the contrary, they've thrived."
With a wave of his hand, Ben displayed a White-headed Eagle symbol on the virtual projection.
Peter had seen this mark before; the document Nick Fury handed him had an eagle's head printed on its cover, with outstretched wings below.
S.H.I.E.L.D..
"It is a special force of the International Security Council dedicated to handling various unusual events. It was established during World War II and was a core force specifically used to combat the Nazi organization Hydra."
"The current director is Nick Fury. As a department directly under the Security Council, it wields considerable power and possesses several Helicarrier..."
The more Ben talked, the Peter and Harry were amazed by the power of S.H.I.E.L.D.. as they learned more about it.
"No wonder they were able to defeat Hydra; I never imagined their influence was so great!"
Peter said.
However, Ben glared at him.
"I said, Hydra has never been defeated."
With a wave of his hand, Ben's White-headed Eagle emblem instantly transformed into a bright red skull, and the wings that spread out beneath the skull twisted and turned into tentacles in an instant.
"This is!"
They screamed!
"That's right, S.H.I.E.L.D.. is Hydra!"
Ben's words surprised Peter so much that he almost fell off his chair.
"How is this possible?"
He shouted!
It's important to understand that even Captain America, who spent his entire life fighting Hydra and even buried Hydra leader, was part of S.H.I.E.L.D.. How could S.H.I.E.L.D.. possibly be Hydra?
Nothing is impossible.
Ben said.
"When Hydra realized that its defeat in the war was inevitable, it was already thinking about preserving its power. Clearly, they understood that the most dangerous place is the safest place."
"I had Eunice investigate a lot of information. Although their operation was efficient, under those circumstances, to completely hide such a large organization, they would inevitably leave behind many clues."
Ben wasn't entirely wrong.
When he decided to deal with Hydra, he had already sent Eunice to look for these Silk.
Peter and Harry can believe him without any evidence, but some people may not.
Hydra's power is now enormous, extending beyond S.H.I.E.L.D.. to include Congress and the Security Council. If things go wrong, the three of them could be declaring war on the entire America.
In this situation, Ben naturally had to raise a flag.
A flag that can symbolize America!
