But now, the Avengers' comrade had been taken apart like this and studied. Even if Vision had already died at Thanos's hands back then, and what had been dismantled now was only a corpse, it was still something the Avengers could not accept.
After all, no one wanted their body treated like this after they died!
More importantly, why was Vision's body here?!
"What's going on? What is this place?" Steve came back to himself as well, staring at the staff around them as he asked in a deep voice.
"This is S.W.O.R.D..." an agent said weakly after hearing Steve's question.
"S.W.O.R.D? What's that?" The Avengers could not help being stunned. Although they had been resurrected, Earth had still kept turning during the time they were dead, so they really had never heard of this organization that had suddenly appeared.
"We're a new department established by Official Agencies, responsible for handling extraordinary incidents and anomalous objects..." the agent who had spoken earlier began to explain.
"Heh, looks like you're no different from S.H.I.E.L.D. And who gave you the right to do this to Vision's remains?!" Tony Stark gave the agent a cold look and asked in a low voice.
"We're only following orders. Also, we really can't hand Vision over to you, because Vision is now S.W.O.R.D.'s property. Even if you're the Avengers, it won't do." The agent sighed helplessly and looked at Tony Stark as he said seriously.
It was clear that this agent still had some respect for the Avengers, but respect could not override principle. Especially when it came to researching Vision, S.W.O.R.D. was acting reasonably and legally. Even if the Avengers had returned, that did not change this fact.
"Vision is S.W.O.R.D.'s property? Don't you know he was a member of the Avengers?" Anger flashed in
