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

Chapter 636 I didn't expect you, Clint, to be so capable

Three months after the Sokovia incident—

Located on private land in northern New York that originally belonged to Stark Industries, there stands a giant building with a huge letter A on top that can be clearly seen even when looking down from 10,000 meters in the air. This is the new headquarters of the Avengers after the Avengers Building in downtown Manhattan, New York.

Due to the previous Sokovia incident, the Avengers' credibility among the public and senior government officials dropped sharply, and even caused widespread controversy and unrest around the world.

Therefore, as the initiator of the "Ultron Crisis", Tony Stark took the initiative to announce his withdrawal from the core of the Avengers, took all responsibilities, and resigned!

He also promised that he would no longer participate in important decision-making within the Avengers in the future, and would only participate in necessary dangerous strike operations as a member of the operation.

In his own words, the mess he had made was big enough, and if he continued to "misbehave", the next target that Lainie and the others would need to attack would probably shift from Hydra to him, Tony Stark.

However, quitting does not mean that Tony Stark will give up his responsibilities and mission.

On the contrary, the completion of this new Avengers Alliance was actually thanks to Tony's help. At a time when the Avengers' prestige has been lost, it can be rebuilt and improved in such a short time.

Of course, Tony's announcement of withdrawal alone cannot easily quell the global anger and doubts. The Avengers need more actions to prove their value and sense of justice.

During this turbulent period, the Avengers also underwent a deep period of self-reflection and reorganization.

First of all, as a participant in the "Ultron Crisis" and the core coordinator of the incident, Lainie Stark also announced her withdrawal from the Avengers' decision-making core.

In the future, we will focus more on the construction and operation of the "New SHIELD", and strive to provide more solid intelligence support and technical guarantees for the Avengers and global security behind the scenes.

As her successor, captain Steve Rogers, he shouldered an unprecedented burden. He not only had to lead the Avengers out of the trough and regain the public's trust, but also had to unite the people internally and ensure that every member could fight side by side in an atmosphere of trust and respect.

This was undoubtedly an unprecedented challenge for Steve, who had never led such a large team before.

Fortunately, with the help of Natasha and others, Steve didn't get flustered right at the beginning.

Today, he seems to have gradually adapted to the role change. Under his leadership, all work is proceeding in an orderly manner and everything seems to be thriving.

When talking about Natasha, we have to mention Hawkeye Clint, who is also an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Just like in the original timeline, Mr. Clint Barton, the hardworking man of S.H.I.E.L.D., submitted a formal "retirement" application to Steve after Vision completely wiped out the last Ultron puppet.

That's right, Clint plans to retire, and the reason is very simple. Compared to being a hero to the world, he now wants to return to his family and be a hero to them.

To this end, he also prepared a written application, which he wrote by hand, confessing to everyone that he had already started a family and a career.

The result was that a group of Avengers members accused him of being disloyal for hiding such an important matter for so long.

Steve was even more incredulous. Who could have thought that the guy who just claimed he didn't have a girlfriend was actually married and had a child!
So much so that in the end, Clint had to agree to the "rude conditions" proposed by these guys and invite everyone to his home for his first family gathering after retirement as compensation for his "hiding" marriage life.

At the party, everyone sat around the dining table in Clint's home, enjoying a sumptuous dinner while listening to Clint tell the story of how he found a balance between his superhero identity and family responsibilities over the years.

"To be honest, if I had known that Clint was married and the father of three children, I would never have agreed to his participation in the final operation."

Steve looked at the children sitting on the sofa in the living room, who were listening to Aunt Natasha's story with great excitement, and said in a deep voice to Clint's lover Laura:

"We shouldn't let him take that risk."

However, Laura, who was also an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the past, shook her head slightly when she heard this.

"It's his choice, Steve."

Laura gently stroked her bulging belly, her eyes full of understanding and trust for Clint. "He is never someone who is willing to hide behind others, whether as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. or as the pillar of this family."

She turned around, looked Steve in the eye seriously and continued:
"Actually, I should thank you. Thank you for bringing him back here and allowing him to return to us safely. Thank you very much."

Steve was deeply touched by Laura's words, and from this moment on, he understood more clearly how heavy the responsibility he was shouldering was.

On the other side of the party, several men pulled Clint together to drink, and Roddy, who usually said shocking things, was no exception.

He looked at the two children beside Natasha, then at Laura's already very obvious belly, and finally cast a meaningful gaze just below Clint's pubic area.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable."

Several men were stunned when they heard the words, and then they immediately understood and laughed out loud.

Clint blushed a little at the laughter, but he was not intimidated at all. Instead, he straightened his chest and answered proudly:
"Of course, don't you see who I am? Whether it's archery, swordsmanship, or 'others...', I am one of the best."

As he said this, he suddenly changed the subject and directed the blame at Tony.

"You should be questioning Stark on this point. This guy has been having so many affairs over the years, why hasn't he heard any 'good news' yet?"

Tony almost spit out the beer he was about to drink when he heard this. He glared at Clint and then pretended to be cool and said:
"I am free and uninhibited, enjoying every moment of life, unlike some people who are tied down by the family boat early on."

At this point, Tony's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of sadness.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time since the quarrel with Pepper. It was obvious that the other party was still angry with him and deliberately avoided him.

Roddy, who was standing by, noticed Tony's awkwardness and quickly made a joke to ease the atmosphere.

"You don't know this, right? In order to prevent an illegitimate child from suddenly appearing out of nowhere and snatching the inheritance from his biological son, Tony has someone specifically responsible for handling his affairs.

They will find the women who had affairs with Tony, make sure they are not pregnant, and then give them a generous 'breakup fee' so that they can leave and never disturb his life again..."

However, perhaps due to the effect of alcohol, he spoke these words a little loudly, which sounded a little strange to Lainie and Maya.

Let’s not talk about Lainie, the “illegitimate daughter” of the Stark family as rumored in the past, but Maya Hansen herself found this statement a bit harsh.

However, Maya didn't care too much about it. She just frowned slightly and took the initiative to admit it loudly across the dining table.

"That's true, but the 'breakup fee' he gave me was a note with a chemical formula on it that would turn you into a little red man."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and then there was an uncontrollable laugh.

The little red man Maya mentioned was the "desperate virus" that had tortured Roddy in the past. Now she was using it to tease Roddy, which was quite interesting.

Roddy realized it later and felt a little embarrassed, so while everyone was laughing, he quickly raised the glass in his hand to Maya to apologize, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing this, Maya raised her glass to show her understanding, and then took a sip of wine as well, putting this awkward yet slightly humorous scene behind her.

As for Tony, he was thick-skinned and had long been accustomed to his old friend making fun of him. At this moment, he just spread his hands towards Lainie in a helpless manner.

That means "This is what he said, it has nothing to do with me."
