The Captain and the others' expressions changed at Hela's words. Nick, who did not know the full story, took the initiative to ask.
The Captain did not hide anything and explained what had happened.
By the time he finished listening, Nick had broken into a cold sweat. He had already tried to overestimate how dangerous Tony was.
But now it seemed he had still vastly underestimated the danger Tony posed.

He had never been easy to deal with, but at least he had still been within their control before. Now, he was completely beyond it.
Nick frowned, feeling a headache coming on. Looking at the others, who were at a complete loss, he could only sigh helplessly.
"All right, nothing should happen in the short term. You're all tired. Get some rest first."
