My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 608 Lainie: No, buddy?

The blinding light did not last long, and the Avengers, who had experienced this once before, did not react too much. They just closed their eyes silently, and waited until the light faded before they opened their eyes again to carefully observe the surroundings which were completely different from before.

"Is this... the headquarters of the building?"

Clint was the first to raise the question. With the best eyesight and the best observation and reconnaissance, he had quickly captured the details of the surrounding environment.

Although it was quite different from the broken and messy place before they left, it was still clear that they were now in the Avengers Building.

"We're back?"

Maya on the side was a little bit unbelievable. She was not present when the ether particle illusion was demonstrated. This novel experience was obviously the first time for her.

"No, we are still in the command room of the helical carrier. What you saw is just an illusion created by Lainie through the energy of ether particles."

Tony said as he reached out and patted the seemingly empty armrest of the chair beside him, making two clear metal collision sounds, proving that they had not actually moved from their original positions.

"This, this is incredible..."

Maya murmured as she looked at the surroundings that seemed to be real. Almost subconsciously, she wanted to get up from her seat and try to reach out and touch the illusions that were so close to her.

"No, Maya, I suggest you just sit down..."

Natasha, who had had this experience herself, tried to stop them, but before she could finish her words, Maya was already shouting "Oh, Shit!" and screaming in pain, covering her knees.

Apparently he stood up too quickly and neglected the existence of the conference table in reality, causing his knees to come into close contact with the edge of the table.

Seeing this, Lainie also felt that this was indeed a bit dangerous, so she simply waved her hand and recreated the conference table along with the chairs everyone was sitting on, thus avoiding some unnecessary embarrassment as much as possible.

The others looked at each other and saw some interest in each other's eyes, so they sat down and planned to take a good look at what Lainie was up to.

At this moment, everyone felt like they were in an immersive play. The surrounding environment and scenery almost perfectly restored everything in the Avengers building, waiting for the actors to come on stage and perform a wonderful and different drama for all the audience.

Ding!
The elevator prompt sound came from the empty hall, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"It's everywhere. Robotics labs, military facilities, JPL... there are reports of one or more Metal Men ransacking those places."

"Is anyone injured?"

Two figures that were extremely familiar to everyone walked out of the elevator. The people present didn't even need to look carefully, as they could tell from their voices that they were Captain Steve, who had a solemn expression on his face at the conference table, and Agent Hill, who had been standing next to him without moving, watching everything change.

"No way, it's so real?"

Pietro, who had never seen such a strange sight, widened his eyes in surprise. His astonished eyes glanced back and forth between the two Steves at the conference table and outside the conference table, as if trying to find some flaws between the two that would prove that one of them was an illusion.

"Pietro, be quiet."

His sister Wanda stopped Pietro from acting so nervous.

She could see that, except for a few people, most people present seemed to have experienced similar situations, so she didn't want herself and her brother to appear too abrupt.

But she never expected that before she could calm her brother Pietro down, Thor, who had lost his patience, threw the hammer in his hand without hesitation and hit the two people who were talking in the illusion.

Boom! Ding-bang-dong-dang!

As expected, the flying Mjolnir penetrated the body of Captain Steve in the environment and smashed directly into the real partition wall behind, making a series of clanging sounds, which made Thor shrink his neck.

"No, Thor, you..."

Everyone present was stunned, and they all looked at Thor as if he was a fool. Lainie, who was standing next to him, was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She stared at Thor and wished she could call his mother out to beat him up in person.

The scene in the illusion was paused. There was no way to not pause it, otherwise everyone would have no idea what the real command room behind the illusion looked like after being smashed by Thor's hammer.

"Uh... Loki always played tricks on me in the past. I got excited and my hand slipped. My hand slipped. Haha, haha..."

Thor knew that he had caused trouble, so he quickly apologized awkwardly and promised that he would find a way to compensate her. This temporarily extinguished the raging fire above Lainie's head.

"You spendthrift! Don't you know how much effort I put into getting this thing back together? And you just poked a hole in it with your hammer? I really..."

After glaring at the fool fiercely, Lainie muttered in a low voice with a livid face, cursing in her heart that Asgard would be destroyed in the hands of a prodigal like you sooner or later.

Thor was too embarrassed to respond. He just smiled foolishly and scratched his head. A hint of sadness flashed across his apologetic eyes.

The farce ended, but the illusion continued. The time that had seemed to be stagnant began to flow, and the "Steve and Hill" that had been motionless just now also had the play button pressed again.

"Some of them were injured, and most of them were in a fugue state, constantly recounting past memories, extreme fears, and some irrelevant things."

The capable Hill reported the situation to Steve calmly as usual. It seemed that this scene happened just after the incident at the banquet that night.

However, Steve and Hill who were sitting at the conference table did not think so. They clearly remembered that they had never had a conversation like the one in front of them.

However, Rhodey and Clint, who had been sitting next to Tony, still heard something unusual in Hill's report. The latter even unconsciously turned his gaze to the twins sitting opposite him.

As expected, Captain Steve in the illusion thoughtfully uttered a last name that sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

"Maximov..."

In an instant, everyone present shifted their gaze to the twins, and the suspicion and scrutiny in their eyes instantly intensified.

"What do you mean, we didn't do anything."

Noticing everyone's strangeness, Pietro couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and subconsciously stood in front of his sister Wanda.

In the end, it was Lainie who spoke up and came to the rescue.

"Don't be in a hurry. I told you, this is a 'fantasy', not a real reality. It has nothing to do with the two of them. You will find out if you continue reading."
-
Fantasy, African coast, Salva giant pier——

Perhaps it was because of the receding tide, or perhaps it was due to some other political reasons, that this once busy coastline with countless ships finally ended up with a desolate and bleak scene. The dim sky set off the muddy beach below, and dozens of ships that should have been riding the waves now lay quietly on the sand like stranded whales, rusty and waiting to be eroded and decayed by other decomposers from nature.

As the camera moved, the people sitting at the conference table saw an abandoned cargo ship with the word Churchill printed on the hull, and noticed the word Great Britain below it, indicating that this ship once carried the glory and dreams of the British Empire across the vast ocean.

But now it can only become a sad footnote of its past glory on this distant African coast.

"Is that Ulysses Klaue hiding here?"

Steve turned his gaze to Tony, who nodded silently.

"Veronica locked down his location a few minutes ago. We can rush over at any time if necessary."

Hearing this, Steve glanced at Lainie, who still had a calm expression. Seeing that she still had no intention of taking action, he temporarily restrained himself and continued to watch how the situation developed.

Unlike the desolate and depressed appearance outside the freighter, when the camera moves to the inside of the freighter, the scene everyone sees is a scene of bustling activity.

Under the dim light, the smell of rust and sweat intertwined, and countless workers were busy inside the cabin, constantly moving and cutting all the valuable metals and parts in the cabin.

It's like a group of sharks greedily gnawing on a dead whale, stubbornly trying to squeeze the last nutrients out of the corpse.

"I don't care who cheated you. Anyway, I gave you six sets of short-range heat-seeking guidance heads, but in return I only got a shipload of rusty scrap metal!"

An angry voice with a heavy accent penetrated the noisy and bustling sounds in the cabin and reached the ears of the many spectators in the audience seats, causing several Avengers who were former agents to frown.

"Another inhuman arms dealer."

Pietro glanced at Tony, who was indifferent, and made a veiled complaint.

But the latter retorted without even turning his head:
"Don't make innuendos about me. I've quit long ago. Now you are the ones who need to worry about yourselves."

Pietro was speechless when he heard this. He wanted to continue to scold her, but he finally endured it for the sake of his sister beside him.

He thought to himself that he was an upright person and if he hadn't done something, he hadn't done it. There was nothing for him to be afraid of. On the contrary, if these Avengers dared to let his sister Wanda suffer any injustice, he would fight these guys to the death and would never let them off.

hum!
A dull roar suddenly echoed in the cabin. The originally dim lights dimmed in an instant. All the mechanical equipment that should have been running stopped working at once, and the cabin suddenly fell into chaos and panic.

The workers stopped their work and looked around, trying to find a light source and their companions. Fortunately, many workers carried flashlights, which temporarily calmed the chaos.

"Someone is coming."

Natasha frowned and looked among the rioting crowd below, trying to find the culprit who cut off the power.

"over there."

Clint, who had the best eyesight, found the target first. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and indeed found two special existences in the darkness.

Similarly, as a rat who often walks in dark sewers and is afraid of the light, Ulysses Klaue also discovered the uninvited danger outside the door.

He picked up the M92F that he had placed on the table earlier and looked vigilantly at the silent darkness outside the door.

Suddenly, Ulysses Klaue caught a glimpse of a fleeting black shadow, and then without hesitation, he raised his pistol and pulled the trigger in the direction where the shadow disappeared!

Bang!
The explosion and the flames burst out at the same time, but before everyone could see clearly, a passing afterimage, like a ghost, had passed through the gunfire at an unimaginable speed, snatched Ulysses's pistol, and appeared leisurely behind Ulysses.

Ulysses, who was still in a daze, only felt a flash before his eyes, and his body suddenly changed direction uncontrollably, and the M92F pistol in his hand disappeared as well.

When he looked clearly at the disassembled pistol on the table in front of him with empty hands, Ulysses realized that he might encounter a ghost in broad daylight.

The visitors were the twins "Pietro Maximoff" and his sister "Wanda Maximoff".

Dr. Banner looked at the extremely real scene in front of him and couldn't help but be shocked for a moment.

Not to mention how amazing the other pair of twins that appeared before them were, just the lightning speed that "Pietro" had just displayed was enough to make sure that everyone present would not be able to handle it.

Isn't this speed faster than a bullet?
Banner didn't dare to conclude, but judging from the sudden change just now, his guess seemed to be almost right.

"Superpower, Strucker's masterpiece?"

The illusion continued, and Ulysses Klaue seemed to recognize the two invading enemies at the door, and the originally tense atmosphere seemed to ease for a moment.

He even picked up a plate of candy on the table nearby and gestured to the twins with a smile.

"Would you like a piece of candy?"

But this made Skye a little confused. She couldn't help but turn her head and ask Wanda softly:

"Has he seen you?"

"I don't know, I have no impression of him." Wanda shook her head blankly.

The brother and sister had no memory of this sloppy man with a big beard and had never met him before, otherwise Wanda would definitely be able to remember him with her ability.

This can also be seen from the reactions of the "brother and sister" in the illusion. Faced with Ulysses Klaue's inexplicable kindness, they both looked confused.

Ulysses then talked about Baron Strucker and expressed regret for his death.

"...His ideals are very ambitious. He knows what kind of world he wants to create, a more powerful human being, rather than a robot sales market."

Hearing this, Clint and the others couldn't help but cast their eyes towards Tony, who raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, pretending to be indifferent and not realizing that the guy was actually referring to him.

It is no secret now that Tony wants to arm the world with the Iron Legion. Even though SHIELD has taken action to suppress the news, it still couldn't stop Ultron from wantonly spreading Tony's heroic declaration on the Internet.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Lainie transferred everyone from the Avengers Building in New York to the helicarrier where she had been hiding for a long time. Temporarily escaping from the center of public opinion will be more conducive to everyone's response to Ultron's next offensive.
