Tony was silent for a few seconds after listening.
"So..." Tony spread his hands, "Your plan is to rob a fortress heavily guarded by Hydra, snatch back an alien staff, and then use it to brainwash your old boss?"
"Sounds like a great popcorn movie script."
Tony The conversation suddenly changed.
"But, Nick, I have a question."
"Are you really not going to find Homelander? Things will be much easier this way."
"Bang!"
Fury slapped the table hard, like a ignited explosive barrel.
"Fuck Fuck!!"
He finally broke through.
"Homelander! Homelander! It's Homelander again!"
He was pacing back and forth in the laboratory, growling.
"The whole world is shouting Homelander! You are shouting Homelander too!"
"Do you think I haven't thought about it?!"
"That blond bastard is the same as Pierce! No, he is more sinister than Pierce!"
"Who do you think is responsible for the current public opinion? Who paints me as a corrupt criminal? It's his Vought! It's that Ashley and her public relations team!"
"If I go to him now, even if I kneel down to shine his shoes, he will hand me over as a 'big rat' with a smile, and then find a lot of media to publicize how he outsmarted Director Hydra!"
Fury was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling violently.
Tony was stunned for a moment by Fury's sudden outburst. He had rarely seen this King of Spies lose his temper like this.
"Okay, okay, calm down." Tony waved his hand, "I know you don't get along with him. So... where is that old popsicle?"
He remembered Captain America.
"Although Steve is now the chief instructor of Vought, he is still Captain America. If it were him, he would definitely help you."
"Steve..."
Fury's anger subsided a little.
"He is not in the country."
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know." Fury shook his head, "Since he left with Barnes that day, no one knows where they went. Maybe he took his good friend Bucky on their honeymoon, who knows?"
Fury looked at Tony, hope flashed in his eyes.
"Now, it's just us, Tony. You are the original Avengers."
Tony was silent, this is a big trouble.
Going to Sokovia means fighting across borders, and it is a private action without any official authorization. Once it is messed up, it will be an international dispute.
"Tony."
Bruce·Banner, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
He looked at Mind Scepter on the screen, his eyes flickering.
"I think... we can go."
"Huh?" Tony looked at Banner, "How do you say that?"
"If... if that scepter can really control Mind Stone."
"Then, it might become the core patch for Veronica System."
Banner walked to Tony and pointed to the top gem of the scepter.
"If we can analyze its energy frequency, we can incorporate it into the armor's defense module."
"Once Hulk loses control, we no longer need to use brute force to suppress him."
"We can use the power of the scepter... to appease him. Even to eliminate his anger."
Tony saw the desire and fear in Banner's eyes.
He knows that Banner has been living in the shadow of Hulk. If this scepter can really bring him a sense of security...
The two looked at each other and instantly reached a tacit understanding that only scientists can understand.
Tony looked at Fury, with that arrogant look on his face again.
"Okay! We're done."
"For the sake of saving me before, and for the sake of world peace."
Fury breathed a long sigh of relief, and One Eye finally showed the long-lost relief.
"Then get ready."
"Avengers... assembly."
"Don't imitate the captain, I still have conditions." Tony interrupted him, "When I get the scepter back, I will borrow it for two months. You know, it's for scientific research."
"As long as Pierce can be solved, you can borrow it for a year."
The other side of the earth.
United States, Nevada, Las Vegas.
This is the city of sin, the desert oasis of desire.
In a cheap motel named "Desert Fox".
A woman with a hot figure and fair skin was lying lazily on the white sheets.
Her waterfall-like long reddish-brown hair hangs down naturally, and her eyes reveal a soul-stirring charm.
Lorelei.
Enchantress of Asgard.
Six hundred years ago, with her voice that could charm all men, she controlled the army to kill the king, triggering the Nine Realms rebellion.
Until Odin took action and imprisoned her in the dungeon.
Fortunately, she escaped through the chaos of Dark Elves's invasion.
Following the secret passage left by Loki, we came to this place called Midgard.
This place is simply paradise.
There are men everywhere who are fragile, stupid, and easily manipulated.
"That... master..."
A burly man knelt beside the bed, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, his eyes blurred and fanatical, as if looking at his only belief.
This man's name is John, and he was originally a Hydra senior operations agent lurking in Las Vegas.
But half an hour ago, he met Lorelei in the bar.
Just one sentence.
The sound penetrated his ears and melted his will.
Now, he is willing to die for this woman.
"I brought the information you asked for." John handed over a tablet computer with trembling hands.
Lorelei stretched out his slender fingers and took the tablet.
Feel the familiar atmosphere of the scepter in the picture.
"Ah..." Lorelei let out a contented sigh, "I can smell that wonderful smell even through the screen."
"Tell me, my slave."
Lorelei's voice slid over John's eardrums like silk, making this well-trained agent tremble all over.
"Where is this thing now?"
"In...Sokovia." John looked at her longingly and said impatiently, "In Baron Strucker's castle. I was in charge of that transportation mission before, and I know the route."
"Sokovia..."
Lorelei repeated this place name, she was imprisoned for six hundred years in Asgard.
Now, she comes to Midgard.
It's full of desire, full of vulnerable men, full of opportunities.
"If I could get that scepter..."
Lorelei's finger lightly moved across the tablet screen.
"Plus my voice..."
"I can control everyone on this planet."
She looked at the promotional video being played on TV, showing a man wearing Stars and Stripes.
Powerful, handsome, and full of desire to conquer.
That is her perfect prey.
"Prepare the car, my slave."
Lorelei stood up, the silk nightgown on his body slipped off, revealing a perfect body that made people's blood rush.
"Take me to Sokovia."
"I want to take back my scepter."
"Then..."
Lorelei walked to the window and looked at the bright night scene outside, with a coquettish smile on his face.
"... I want to build my harem in this world."
