Another Halloween.

New York The streets are full of citizens wearing fancy clothes.

Some are wearing Spider-Man tights, and some are carrying plastic props and hammers, playing the role of Thor;

Some used LED lights and DIYed a set of Iron Man suit, and some dyed their hair green, maybe... they were Hulk's guest appearances, right?

But the most numerous one is still the dark red cloak.

No matter children or adults.

They are all happy to dress up like Superman.

Looking from a distance, it turned out to be a sea of Blink people dotted with red.

In low-Earth orbit, S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters is suspended in outer space, like the Eye of Horus overlooking the Earth.

Today, Iron Man Tony-Stark is on duty.

He made some small mistakes, which almost led to the destruction of the Avengers team.

In the end, it was the father who stepped forward to help wipe the butt and deal with the strong Artificial Intelligence, "Ultron" that his son had with Hank-Pym.

"Humph, that was just a mistake. I was punished to work night shift for a month and was not allowed to touch any computer equipment."

The satellite headquarters named "Skynet", Tony's legs are resting on the operating table.

As early as five years ago, S.H.I.E.L.D. moved from the Potomac River to outer space.

The person in charge of this project is his father Howard-Stark.

"Mr. Stark, Ultron caused more than hundreds of billions of dollars in economic losses around the world, and attracted dissatisfaction and accusations against Avengers from various countries..."

Jarvis said in a London, England accent, strictly.

"You should sometimes consider your boss's mood."

Tony smashed the empty Coke cup at the operating robot arm and said helplessly, "Today is Halloween, and I have already thought of a wonderful party theme!"

"Let those Victoria's Secret models, Playboy cover girls, dress up as the Seven Dwarfs and Snow White, and the princess's stepmother."

"Then, hey hey hey..."

Jarvis, which was built into the computer system of the satellite headquarters, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Stark, I must remind you that if you plan to play the role of the king, then the story between you and Snow White is very bad to some extent, is despised by the world, and cannot pass the review, and will be classified as an NC-17 adult film."

Tony rolled his eyes, Jarvis was a bit too serious, just as old-fashioned as Captain America.

He just wanted to liven things up and make some wisecracks.

Although, I am the only one at the satellite headquarters tonight.

At most, a boring Artificial Intelligence butler will be added.

Avengers have all gone home for the holidays.

Barton has a wife and children, Ant-Man the second generation Scott has a lovely daughter, Banner the nerd also has a beautiful girlfriend.

Even Thor, who is full of muscles, has found a companion - a female astronomer named Jane Foster.

"After working on it for a long time, Joker turned out to be me!"

Tony was chewing on a slightly cold Big Mac burger, thinking that he usually spends money like water, has a high-spirited attitude, and is always accompanied by beautiful women in cars and cars.

But during the holidays, others were attending parties and enjoying the party, but I was all alone guarding the satellite headquarters.

"Didi!"

The rapid alarm sound woke up Tony.

He sat upright suddenly and raised his hand to open the projected map.

"Let me see... it's California! What happened?"

Tony rubbed his hands. On this lonely Halloween night, it would be a good thing if a few blind guys jumped out and let him kill time.

S.H.I.E.L.D. A long time ago, "Project Insight" was launched, which greatly reduced the frequency of superpower crimes in various countries around the world.

Coupled with the popularity of superhero culture, all kinds of street heroes, Mutants, have sprung up, vying to appear and become vigilantes.

Of course, if they want to enforce justice, they must come to S.H.I.E.L.D. in person to register.

The review staff will then consider the individual's ability and the city where the other party is located to allocate a security area.

Dad, Howard, learned a new word from one of his friends, which vividly sums up this job.

Film policeman!

All in all, to borrow a phrase from Time magazine - "This is the age of Superman"!

Every day brings new masked vigilantes and new supervillains.

"Confirm the location! Jarvis, we have work to do!"

Tony Press Arc Reactor on the chest, and Mark series 50 nano armor instantly covers the whole body.

This is his most thorough change and innovation to the Iron Suit developed by his father.

Of course, it is also his most satisfying work so far.

Standing on the circular channel of phase transmission, Tony shouted in a very confident way——

"Avengers, act!"

The next moment, Iron Man disappeared and was dropped directly somewhere in California.

The Skynet satellite headquarters, like the Eye of Horus, quietly overlooks the blue planet below.

The new era has arrived.

The old people who were once active on the stage gradually retreated behind the scenes.

"I said, as a superhero, wouldn't it be weird to put on fancy clothes and play other roles?"

Wearing a handmade custom-made suit and combing her hair, Luke said with a faint smile.

He was standing in the lobby, where his old friends had come to attend this costume-themed party.

Steve wrapped his entire arm in tin foil and pretended to be Winter Soldier.

And Bucky held up the genuine Vibranium shield, put on the Stars and Stripes uniform, and dressed up as Captain America.

They are indeed a pair of good friends, even cosplaying like each other.

White Queen Emma dressed up as a certain Disney princess, Peggy wore a red dress and a hat, obviously Little Red Riding Hood.

Marlena dyed her blond hair, paired with high heels and a white backless dress, looking exactly like Mary Lotus Monroe.

In addition, there is the Black Widow Natasha version of Cleopatra. Nick-Fury is very creative. He has an afro and claims to be a gangster killer in a movie directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Aside from these familiar faces, there are also Namor the Sub-Mariner, Black Queen Selene, Mutants youth leaders Professor Charles and Magneto, Vampires queen Serena who have turned from darkness to light...

These are either the rulers of the Seven Seas, the top brass of Magical Congress, representatives of the Mutants camp, or the controllers of the underground world... They are not gathering here to participate in the festival.

Rather, it was because of someone who had disappeared for decades.

"You are dressed so normally, what are you pretending to be?"

Howard-Stark, who made himself into a Star Wars Jedi, came over and asked.

Among everyone present, only he and a few others dared to speak to Superman in such a relaxed tone.

"James Bond, I still need a martini, please get it for me."

Luke smiled slightly and encouraged Howard.

"So, let me count, one, two, three... six, seven! How many Bond girls do you have, boy?"

Howard took a glass of martini with olives from the waiter's plate.

"It's hard for me to answer this question."

The corner of Luke's mouth curled up. He could only talk about men's topics with Howard.

That guy Steve is too upright, and he only has Bucky in his eyes, so there is no way to discuss it.

"I forgot, there are three universes now. Earth 1 has Peggy and the others. Who is Earth 2? The Hell Border queen named Magik? What about Earth-3? She can't be the pajama baby's aunt, right? That's so exciting!"

Although she is married, Howard still talks endlessly and eloquently about women.

This is probably because the situation is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

"Your thinking is really divergent, and I'm not a stallion in heat!"

Luke was a little speechless and explained, "Besides, how good are you? Running to Earth-3 every day and hugging your granddaughter every day?"

"At such an old age, I really want to be a grandfather, so let Tony give birth to one as soon as possible!"

Howard looked depressed. He used Infinite Formula's strengthening potion to maintain the body of a middle-aged man.

But mentally, he is already an old man.

"Forget it, that little bastard only knows how to hook up with female celebrities and sleep with models. He's nothing like me!"

Howard was a little angry, but he really wanted his son to get married as soon as possible and have a grandson and granddaughter for him.

"Didn't you also have the same virtue when you were young? Chasing beauty is simply Stark's family inheritance."

Luke teased.

After he returned to Earth, he slowly handed over the work of S.H.I.E.L.D. to Nick-Fury, and liberated Peggy.

The so-called "taking a long vacation" is to collect all the "rewards" paid by the universe Cosmic Entities, three Single Universe.

During this long period of time, Luke has been traveling between various earths.

Occasionally go to Kamar-Taj, train Stephen-Strange, and let him carry out the path of a one-punch mage.

Occasionally, I will go to Marvel Cinematic Universe to have hot pot with Fat Otaku Thor and Rocket Raccoon.

All in all, life is good and peaceful.

In this way, Luke was chatting with old friends while entertaining friends and subordinates at the party.

When the night got darker and came to an end, Nick-Fury, who was reporting to his former boss, heard the beeping sound of the calling machine.

He picked it up, looked at it carefully, and found that it was a message from Iron Man.

"What happened, Stark?"

With an apologetic look on his face, he dropped the topic. Nick-Fury walked to the balcony and contacted Tony using the communicator.

According to Iron Man's arrogant character, it is impossible to find himself for no reason.

"I found a weird guy in California! He's fast!"

The voice of Iron Man came from the communicator, urgent and shocked. "It's already supersonic speed... Oh my God, it can be faster... I can't catch up with him, I've lost him!"

"Very fast? Then you should find Charles-Xavier and ask him to send Quicksilver to hunt him down!"

Nick-Fury is a little helpless. He has the extremely fast Metahuman and S.H.I.E.L.D..

"Well, I'm afraid it's not that easy. I'll bring Quicksilver in."

Soon there was another person in the communicator's channel.

"Mr. Stark, that guy's speed... may be a bit frustrating to say this, but I really can't keep up with him!"

Quicksilver, whose real name is "Pietro-Maximoff", said frustratedly.

"Let Jarvis use satellite tracking! What does that guy look like?"

Nick-Fury is a speedster with a face as deep as water, and even Quicksilver can't catch up?

Obviously, this is a new Metahuman, worthy of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention.

"I didn't see clearly, he ran too fast, like a golden lightning!"

Among the rustling noises, the answer of Quicksilver came.

"Wait! He's slowed down, he seems to have run out of energy!"
