Marvel: The Twelve Spells.

Chapter 122 Leader
Eastern Europe, Sokovia, Hydra Research Base.

This is a hidden valley, even if a reconnaissance plane flies over it, it will not be able to find the Hydra Corps stationed in it.

There are many security checkpoints and fortifications set up by Hydra hidden in the outer woods. Along the road upwards, castle-like buildings are built around the top of the mountain.

In the tallest building, Kuaiyin looked up at the person facing away from him on the high platform... Baron Sterak, now the supreme leader of Hydra.

The interior layout is a bit strange. The walls are covered with silver-gray humanoid battle armor. It seems that it is a war weapon produced by imitating Iron Man, but I don't know if it can be put into use...

As soon as he saw these mechas, the name "Stark" couldn't help appearing in Kuaiyin's mind, which was the beginning of a tragic memory for him...

"Is there still no news from Wanda?" After a while, Kuaiyin finally couldn't help but said.

"Since she and the demon disappeared in New York that day, there has been no news. Yesterday, your sister and the demon appeared together in a small town outside New York." Baron Sterak waved his hand, and a video played on the screen beside him. .

"This is the surveillance video of the scene. She and the devil are very close. The two are shopping arm in arm. I have seen the bills. They bought daily necessities, like a newly married couple..." Baron Strack turned around Lai smiled at Kuaiyin, "The two of them also taught the criminals who robbed the department store a lesson. It seems that your sister has changed sides."

"No, this can't be true!" Kuaiyin looked at the surveillance video, his face full of disbelief, "Wanda must be controlled by a demon!"

"Controlling other people's thoughts is her unique ability. Who else can control her?" Baron Sterak laughed, "And I only saw happiness on her face. I have never seen that kind of smile on her face." I have seen it on her face, I believe that even if you are her younger brother, you haven't seen such a happy smile from the heart for a long time, right?"

"You ran all over New York to find her, but your sister fell in love with a devil..."

"Shut up!" Quicksilver yelled at Baron Sterak, which was a heavy blow to him, "This can't be true! They've only known each other for a few days, and the devil took her away... "

Baron Strucker just smiled faintly. A moment later, Kuaiyin turned to leave, but was stopped by Baron Strucker.

"Our undercover agent in S.H.I.E.L.D. sent information. Last night, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret base for researching the Cosmic Rubik's Cube was destroyed. Now S.H.I.E.L.D. has lost the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and the Cosmic Rubik's Cube has fallen into the hands of the devil... I have a hunch that a war is about to break out."

"What does that have to do with me?" Quicksilver turned and said.

"Aren't you going to New York too, I just remind you..."

"You want me to snatch the Cosmic Rubik's Cube from the devil? It's impossible. In the field of speed that I am best at, the devil has surpassed me. I have no power to fight back against him." Kuaiyin interrupted, Although he hates demons, he will not deny the power of demons.

"No, demons have never been the enemy of Hydra!" Baron Sterak said seriously, "If it weren't for stupid Pierce ordering the Helicarrier to attack and kill demons, the 'Insight Project' has succeeded, and now Hydra has conquered the whole world!"

"But he turned around and destroyed your plan, and Pierce also died in his hands..."

"The devil is not a good partner, but a powerful partner! Besides, he now has the Rubik's Cube." Baron Sterak raised his mechanical right claw, "Hydra rarely cooperates with people, I never suffer...I tell you this, just to tell you not to provoke the devil, it will be a waste of effort, Hydra will not help you in this matter."

Quicksilver stared at Baron Sterak, "Wanda is still in his hands...she is my sister, how many things have we done for you over the years? How many dangerous missions have we carried out? Now Wanda is in crisis, you want Abandoned her?"

"That's to realize your value, Hydra has never lacked heroic agents!" Baron Sterak looked down at Quicksilver, his eyes were full of indifference, "And now she is safe, and she is in love with the devil, if a crimson The witch can get the help of the devil, and no one will refuse this good deal."

"Buy and sell? Everyone in Hydra is a commodity that you can discard?" Kuaiyin said angrily.

"Of course!" Baron Strucker raised his head high, "If that can realize my plan."

Because of taking a deep breath, Kuaiyin's chest heaved violently, and he knew that what he said would be futile, so he turned and left.

"I have warned you... Pietro!" Baron Sterak shouted after him.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. is in a secret base in eastern New York.

"So are you ready to join the anti-demon alliance now?" Falcon said excitedly, "Mr. Stark, the science and technology you have mastered will become the main force to eliminate demons!"

"Retired soldier, your learning ability is very good. You have learned to demagogue people after following the US team for a few months." Tony said mockingly, and he continued to operate in front of the screen.

This is the office specially prepared by S.H.I.E.L.D. for Tony. It is filled with various instruments and supercomputers. Holographic screens are hung on the walls, which are enough to help Tony complete his daily work and research.

"So what's the answer?" Falcon demanded.

"Under the ground, I opened fire on the demons. I used all the weapons except the missiles. I remember you were there." Tony raised his hands and made a palm cannon motion at the Falcon, "Honestly, if It's not that there is no choice, who would be willing to join your stupid organization? Except you few lunatics..."

"That's great, Mr. Stark! From now on, we are teammates fighting against demons together. The captain will be very happy to know the news!" Falcon said excitedly: "So can you help me upgrade the jetpack? I I always feel that the rebuilt steel wings don't fit very well..."

Tony turned around speechlessly and lowered his head to tap on the virtual keyboard, "Jarvis, have the shoulder bombs been replaced with tranquilizer bombs?"

"The replacement has been completed, sir!"

"Okay, remind me to shoot Legolas in the ass next time I see him!" Tony said resentfully.

Suddenly the door of the office was pushed open, and Hill and Captain America stood outside the door.

"Misters and girls, can you knock on the door first next time?" Tony said dissatisfied, "Companies that don't pay attention to the privacy of their employees will have all kinds of conflicts."

"Sorry Mr. Stark, I will pay attention next time." Hill folded his hands and said, "Can you put down the work in your hands for a while? A new friend will come to you later, let's go to meet him together? By the way, there will be a council meeting."

"No problem, Ms. Commander." Tony took off his glasses and put them on the table. "It just so happens that I have a new friend coming."

"Sam!" Captain America beckoned Falcon to follow.

The four of them walked in the passage and headed all the way to the elevator. For the sake of confidentiality and safety, this secret base was built [-] meters below the ground.

"Are you still used to staying here? Mr. Stark." Hill asked casually.

"It's not bad, the network is good, and I can also repair my armor. The lounge and activity room are spacious, but a little stuffy."

"That's good, you'll be here for a long time, I hope you can adapt."

"No, it won't be long, you may never find the Rubik's Cube, but I will never stay in this basement forever." Tony refused.

"Both your residence and the Stark Tower are very dangerous, and the devil will come to the door at any time." The US team interjected.

"Then let him come!" Tony was very firm, "I can't move all the things I care about underground, demons can always threaten me, and this may not be an absolutely safe place..."

"That's your free Mr. Stark, even if you go out, you can contact us for help at any time," Hill said.

"Thank you!" Tony said, shaking his head.

Falcon saw the opportunity and interjected: "Captain, Commander Hill, what conclusion did you reach at the secret meeting with the big shots just now? Do we still have reinforcements?"

The US team turned their attention to Hill, and Hill said: "The meeting just now has nothing to do with this war caused by the Rubik's Cube..."

"Then what did you talk about?" Tony also had a hellish face. "The devil may use the Rubik's Cube to destroy the earth. Is there anything more important than this now?"

"Have you heard what happened at Osborne House on Christmas Eve?"

"You mean the 'Holy Light' incident?" Tony looked at Captain America.

"'Holy Light'?" Captain America was a little confused.

"There are many titles of this kind, such as God's gift... They all say the same thing." Hill nodded.

"Well, it was the 'Holy Light' incident. The Holy Light saved many people on Christmas Eve, and those politicians regretted why they didn't put their residences on the south of 54th Street, within one kilometer of the Osborne Building. "

"In this way, they can also bathe in the 'Holy Light'? So as to eliminate all illnesses." The smart Tony understood everything in an instant.

"Politicians from various countries have unanimously asked us to find the boy who stood beside Spider-Woman that night." Hill said helplessly.

"Don't tell me S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't know who that boy is!" Tony said sharply.

"Of course we know." Hill handed the work tablet in his hand to Tony, "but we also know that his ability can save many people, and may indirectly trigger conflicts or even wars, resulting in the death of more people..."

"No, just take it." Tony refused.

Falcon on the side felt a little strange, "I'll do it."

Tony's face changed slightly after he glanced at the photo...

"Mr. Stark?" Falcon glanced at the photo on the work tablet, "This photo is also quite handsome."

"Stark, you know him?" Captain America and Hill both stopped and looked at Tony, they both caught Tony's abnormal reaction.

"To be precise, I don't know this handsome young man, I just saw his information when I was investigating Spider-Woman." Tony was very calm, "Ricardo M Luo... I remember he is Spider-Woman's son." Friends, right? I didn’t expect that he is also a superpower, and he can also activate the amazing ability of ‘Holy Light’.”

"Yes, Spider-Woman's boyfriend, the identity is highly likely to be confirmed, and he is also very strong in combat, such as magic attacks..." the US team introduced in detail.

But now Tony is not listening to what the US team said. His memory went back and he suddenly thought of a certain night...

The devil told Tony, who was drinking chlorophyll to suppress palladium poisoning, that he could cure Tony... The screen flashed, and the devil also said that night that he had not yet reached the legal drinking age.

Tony didn't know the necessary connection among these things, but it supported his guess.

Tony's finger slid on the work tablet, and he slid to the last page, where Luo Xia's superpower description and guessing brief introduction:

Holy Light: Powerful recovery ability, it can heal the dying or the sick.

Psychic power or some kind of magical energy: it can act on the target to attack, easily solve Captain America and Black Widow, violently disassemble a Glock pistol...

"Maybe you can add a lot of things to the 'ability'," Tony said with a deep breath, "maybe he can shoot lasers or something..."

"What?" Captain America looked at Tony.

"Uh... I'm just talking casually, it all comes from speculation." Tony smiled.

A group of people came to the elevator all the way, and the elevator started to rise slowly. Feeling the overweight feeling when the elevator accelerated, Tony suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Captain, you collected information about this boy, could it be..."

"You are really smart, Mister Stark!" Falcon interjected, "The captain held a special meeting for this before, and everyone felt that the Anti-Demon League needs Lorshaw, and even the arrogant Sol 100% supported the captain's proposal , But it seems that this is not a simple matter, the more capable people seem to have character flaws... I'm sorry I didn't mention you, Mr. Stark, but I mean that Lorshaw has no concept of justice."

The US team nodded to confirm Falcon's statement, "Do you have any different opinions? Mr. Stark."

Tony shook his head, and he smiled for a moment, but it seemed that there was a little reluctance in that smile.

"Great!" Tony patted Captain America on the shoulder and said, "I believe everyone will agree with this approach? I am no exception, this will be the most correct thing you do as the leader of the Anti-Evil Alliance! "

"Stark, I am not the leader, the Anti-Demon Alliance is absolutely democratic, and I think you will do better than me..."

"I have a character flaw. I've said it many times, and everyone knows it." Tony was a little excited, "Then let the new members take on the responsibilities of leaders?"

"Spider-Woman?" Captain America seems to be really thinking about this question, "She is very suitable, smart and witty, also has a sense of justice and responsibility, and has the basic qualities of a leader, but she still needs to learn how to manage a team or formulate a battle plan What……"

"No, no, I'm talking about Luo, Luo Xia!" Tony interrupted the US team, "I will definitely vote for him!"

The elevator door opened, and Tony walked out. He turned around and said, "By the way, can I still quit the Anti-Demon League now?"
