I am directing big events in American comics

Chapter 119 Tony: Steve, we have to form a team
"Do you want to raise a dragon? Then you have to prepare in advance!"

Thor gushed, "Newborn dragons are very aggressive. This is a sign of lack of security. Especially young dragons need a hotter environment to grow. If the surroundings are a little colder, they will feel very uncomfortable." disturbed!

"Also, the baby dragon cannot control its ability to breathe fire and may burn your room down at any time. You need to take some precautions in advance."

When talking about topics of interest, Saul couldn't stop at all, and Lorraine did not interrupt him, but listened patiently.

According to Lorraine, most of the dragons in Asgard are fire dragons, with occasional ice dragons appearing. As for dragons with other attributes, there are no dragons at all.

"When I was a child, I wanted to raise a fire dragon. I thought that when it grows up, I can ride it on the battlefield!"

Thor showed a look of recollection, "But then my mother told me that I could fly by myself and didn't need to ride a dragon, and then she took away the little dragon I raised. It's still a pity when I think about it now. Riding a dragon is so cool!" "

Ok?
Lorraine suddenly realized a problem and said, "Long Zai doesn't seem to have a very high status?"

"Not high!" Thor shook his head. "They are indeed not many in number, but they are not scarce. They are just difficult to tame. They live in dangerous areas far away from human habitation and occasionally harass villages or city-states.

"When this happens, Asgard's warriors will dispatch to put them down."

Lorraine nodded and continued to ask: "Are there any known powerful dragons, such as the black dragon that lives at the bottom of the World Tree and eats the roots of the tree?"

Thor laughed when he heard this: "I know what you are talking about, the black dragon Nidhogg, right? This is just a legend of you humans. This black dragon does not exist in the Nine Realms."

Really……

Lorraine was a little disappointed. He thought that Nidhogg was also an extraordinary life entity similar to the immortal dragon.

"Okay, that's all I'll ask today. Thank you for your patient answer."

Lorraine said goodbye and left, and Sol was still talking when he closed the door.

"Do you want to raise a dragon? If so, I can help you. I am very experienced!"

……

A chaotic neighborhood.

Steve Rogers threw the super-powered criminal whose skin was like stone to the ground and punched him in the chest.

The powerful strange force caused the stone man's hard rock surface to crack.

The stone man soon fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

"Take it away!"

Steve said to the SHIELD agents standing by around him.

The agents immediately rushed forward, took out special restraint devices, and took the stone man away.

A female agent handed Steve a towel, and Steve wiped the sweat from his head and exhaled.

"This is the third this week."

Steve thought of the stone man just now, who was clearly wearing a high school uniform.

"They are all a bunch of kids, how could it end up like this?"

Steve's heart was heavy, and he always felt that something big was coming.

Rejecting SHIELD's invitation to rest in the building, Steve went straight back to his apartment.

When he opened the door, he saw his blonde neighbor Sharon coming out of her apartment.

Sharon greeted warmly: "Good afternoon, captain, are you going on a mission today?"

"Yeah, I just came back!"

Steve had a good impression of this female neighbor. Between her eyebrows and eyes, he could see the shadow of his former lover Paige.

Back in the apartment, he took off his clothes and entered the bathroom. Hot water poured on his body and flowed down his muscle lines.

There are many small scars on his body, which are his medals of honor from fighting to this day.

After taking a shower and putting on clothes, Steve came to his simple studio, which was like a chemical laboratory, filled with beakers, test tubes, and some strange materials.

"The Phoenix Potion is easy to use, but it's not suitable for now."

Steve thought silently, "Although the recovery ability is strong, the attack power is not enough. Now that more and more superhumans are appearing, a different potion must be used."

The potion encyclopedia given to him by Lorraine contains many high-end potions, so Steve has plenty of choices.

"We must change to a potion that has good defense and strong attack power."

Steve picked up the materials and started mixing them.

When he was halfway through the preparation, his cell phone suddenly rang.

When I opened it, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello? I'm Steve Rogers, who are you?"

"Where are you now? Are you at home?"

The other party did not answer his question, but his frivolous tone revealed his identity.

Tony Stark.

Steve found it strange why Stark suddenly contacted him and directly asked him where he was.

The personal relationship between them should not be as good as this.

Despite thinking this way, Steve still answered Tony's question.

"I'm at home, what can I do for you?"

Tony still didn't answer his question, "Just be at home, open the door!"

What the words meant was that the other person was at Steve's door.

Steve opened the door and saw Stark, but today he was dressed completely differently than usual.

Wearing black sportswear, a cap and a mask, he looks sneaky and doesn't look like a good person.

"Stark, you..."

"Let me in first!"

Tony forced his way into Steve's apartment and walked directly to the living room. In the process, he threw an old-fashioned flip phone to Steve.

"We will use this phone to communicate in the future to avoid monitoring."

monitor?

Steve frowned. He already understood the current social situation and was quite sensitive to this word.

"Did something happen?"

Steve followed to the living room, and Tony had already entered the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and rummaged around.

"Don't you have any alcohol here? Whiskey, tequila, or whatever."

"No." Steve shook his head, "Only sports drinks."

"Heh, sports drink, is this what you use to serve guests?"

"I wouldn't have any guests here. Occasionally Lorraine will come, but he can't drink."

Tony rolled his eyes: "Okay, sports drinks are sports drinks, give me one!"

Stark was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Steve brought a bottle of drink and when he handed it over, Tony reached out and refused.

"Just put it on the coffee table. I don't like people handing me things."

Steve was a little speechless. He knew that Stark had a lot of weird tempers, but he didn't expect it to be such a problem.

He doesn't know how the people around him can tolerate him.

Putting the drink on the table, Tony picked it up and drank it.

When he finished drinking, he showed an expression of relief.

Steve worried: "Have you encountered any difficulties? You can tell me if you need it."

Tony Stark shook his head, his expression very solemn.

"Let me correct you on two points. It's not a difficulty, it's a disaster. And it's not a disaster for me alone, it's a disaster for all of us!"

The weight of this sentence is a bit heavy.

Steve sat across from Stark with a serious expression, ready to listen to what Stark had to say.

Tony finally began to explain the current situation.

"First of all, you know that I have gained some extraordinary abilities since I was rescued by Lorraine, right?"

Steve nodded. He had fought alongside Tony and knew this.

Tony continued: "Then you must understand that when humans have superpowers, especially those like me who can give life to machines, they must want to find out where the limits of their superpowers are, and they will inevitably use their own superpowers. Do a few experiments.”

Steve frowned, such an opening statement gave him a bad feeling.

Did Stark get into some trouble?
"Then what did you do?"

"I built a few robots and then, to test their abilities, I gave them a task."

Tony said, "Stolen a classified document from the Oval Office, any document, you know, it's just a test.

"Just like when I first learned how to use computers, I cracked the Pentagon's security to test my abilities. This time I let those robots sneak into the President's Office just to see how well those robots perform."

Such rhetoric made Steve very dissatisfied.

He said in a serious tone: "Stark, you have to make it clear that your actions have endangered national security!"

“The security of billionaires like me is the real national security.”

Tony didn't take it seriously, "And if I didn't invade the president's office, I wouldn't have discovered such an important thing!"

After that, he took out a confidential document from his backpack and placed it on the coffee table.

"See for yourself!"

Steve kept glancing at the document, but didn't pick it up after all.

He shook his head and said: "This is a federal confidential document, I can't read it!"

Tony guessed that Steve would react like this, and he said calmly: "What is more important, the Federation or humanity?"

Steve suddenly froze.

Needless to say, of course humans are more important!
But why would Stark say such a thing?

Could it be that the content in the file is harmful to human existence?
After struggling in his heart, Steve finally picked up the document.

After simply flipping through a few pages, his expression was extremely shocked.

"Those superhuman criminals use the same serum as the original warriors!?"

He kept looking back, and when he saw the end, he let out a long breath and lay down on the sofa, doubting his life.

This document is an investigative report.

It was written by a man named Edward Nygma and presented directly to the president.

It is detailed above that the genetic alterations in the transhuman criminal's body are exactly the same as those of the Primarch warriors.

And from between the lines, countless shocking information can be inferred.The first is the original soldiers that the president now regards as their facade. The survival rate of the serum they use is extremely low, with the highest being no more than [-]%.

And even if they survive, they still have to be further selected. Only those with superpowers reaching level three can stay and be regarded as the original body.

As for those who are eliminated, the fate is self-evident.

Steve couldn't accept it.

These are soldiers loyal to the Federation!He actually fell victim to the experiment!

I regretted that there were too few super warriors like this before.

This is how the Primarch Corps came to be!
If it was just like this, Steve wouldn't be so angry, because the soldiers chose to sacrifice for the Federation, and he couldn't say he was wrong.

But in Nygma's report later, it was mentioned that those super-powered criminals had improved the circulating serum, and the survival rate had increased significantly, but their abilities were relatively weak.

Serum can be improved!

"You can obviously not sacrifice so many people, but you insist on going your own way. Is it to get stronger super-powered warriors? Hateful!"

Steve gritted his teeth. Of course he knew how heavy this document was.

When he participated in the genetic experiment, the experimenter, Dr. Erkin, spent a long time just examining candidates, and the survival rate of the experiment was much higher than that of the president's experiment.

After 70 years, technology has become more and more backward. Steve doesn't believe this.

Moreover, there were problems with the safety of the experiment that the president personally supervised. Someone fled with the serum formula, which led to the emergence of so many superpowers today.

Steve personally caught those criminals, all of them were still children, but they were already on the road of no return.

There are also many children whose physical changes are completely irreversible. For example, the stone man today will remain in such an inhuman appearance for the rest of their lives!
The conclusion of the last 'Edward Nygma' also made Steve shudder.

"The current situation is still under control, and there is no need for further intervention. If there are level four or above superpowers among this group of superpower criminals, we can consider absorbing them, and the rest will be treated as juvenile criminals."

boom--

Steve slapped his palm on the coffee table. His eyes were bloodshot and his anger was palpable.

"Using children as test subjects is something that humans can do!?"

He didn't even say the second half of the sentence.

This man is still their president.

Steve stared at Tony and asked through gritted teeth, "Who is this Edward Nygma?"

He already knows that this person is the person in charge of the original body plan and the culprit of everything!

He, Steve Rogers, is a World War II veteran, but he doesn't have the no-kill principle as a hero.

If you dare to experiment on children, you will die! ! !

Hearing Steve's question, Tony sneered: "You really asked the right question, this person has something to do with me!"

Tony then tells Steve what he discovered while investigating Ivan Vanko and Obadiah.

"You mean, this person appeared next to Obadiah and Ivan Vanko at the same time?"

What Steve can't figure out is that this person is the connection between Obadiah and Ivan. He single-handedly contributed to the birth of the Iron Patriot and drove Stark out of the board of directors.

After that, he got on the president's boat.

What a terrible person...

Steve had an initial impression of Nygma. He was good at dancing and had a deep scheming mind. He liked to hide behind the scenes and manipulate everything.

Why did such a person remain unknown before?
Where did he come from?

It can't just appear out of thin air, right?

Wait, it appears out of thin air...

Steve suddenly had an association that was horrifying to think about.

He quickly asked: "When did this Nygma first appear? He..."

"I know what you want to ask."

Tony Stark said calmly, "He appeared shortly after the Shadow Council appeared."

Steve felt like his whole body was drained.

Is this Edward Nygma really a member of the Shadow Council? !
Unlike Scarecrow and Shabak, he never appeared in public from beginning to end, but controlled the direction of everything.

He is lurking next to the president, allowing the president to refer to his opinions. He may even go a step further and control some of the cabinet members...

Steve suddenly felt a little suffocated.

The Shadow Council has silently controlled almost the entire United States!

He might even get the code for nuclear weapons and destroy the entire human race!

Only then did Tony show a wry smile: "So now you know why I am so neurotic, right? Every move we made before was under the control of others, and some of them were even reported to us ourselves!"

Of course Steve understands that since Tony knew this secret and wanted to stop it, he has become the number one enemy of the federal supreme controller!

"We must not sit still and wait for death!"

Steve showed his determination as a veteran, "Take the initiative and kill Nygma!"

"Then you will immediately become a public enemy. No matter what your motive is for assassinating people close to the president, just by having this idea, you have become a terrorist."

"I do not care!"

Steve said firmly, "If sacrificing just one of me can dispel the haze over this federation, I think it's worth it!"

He had made this choice once before.

70 years ago, in order to protect millions of civilians, he resolutely rushed into the sea with a fighter jet.

Now, with more civilians under threat, how could he back down?

Tony was very satisfied with Steve's statement: "That's right! If a member of the Shadow Parliament can be buried with him, what does it mean to sacrifice the two of us?"

"Not two people!"

Steve interrupted Tony, "I just said, I will only be sacrificed this time!"

Tony spread his hands with an indifferent expression.

"You want to be a hero alone? Okay, I won't stop you, you can go as you like.

"But before you go and die, I want to ask you a question, do you know where Nygma is?"

Steve shook his head, but immediately said confidently: "I can go investigate!"

"But I've investigated it!"

Tony said proudly, "I have been prepared for everything since I saw this document. If you want to get this information, you must cooperate with me!"

Steve was silent. Of course, investigation takes time, and every second is precious now.

Intuition and experience told him that working with Stark was the best choice.

After hesitating for a long time, he nodded.

"Okay, I promise to cooperate with you."

"This is so cool!" Tony smiled, "I finally have a chance to shine, how could I give it to you?"

Steve nodded and was about to ask Stark for the corresponding information, but suddenly realized a problem.

"You didn't tell Lorraine these things, did you?"

Steve said with a serious expression, "He is just a 17-year-old kid with a bright future. He should not be involved in this kind of thing!"

"I'm not that stupid, this time it's just you and me."

Tony crossed his arms and said, "I originally wanted to find Banner, but he made too much noise. Our target this time is only Nygma. Assassination is the best option!"

Steve nodded, and the decapitation operation has always worked well.

"Tell me about your plan!"

Tony took out his mobile phone and shook it out of thin air, and a holographic 3D image of a building appeared on the coffee table, the composition was extremely clear.

"This is the base of the original body, where genetic modification experiments are conducted."

Steve was slightly surprised by this holographic technology, and then quickly asked: "Where did you get this intelligence? Did you hack into the Pentagon again?"

"This intelligence is top secret and I didn't find it in the Pentagon."

Tony's tone was conceited and sarcastic, "But I found it on that idiot Obadiah's computer.

"Stop talking about this, I will continue to talk about our plan."

He pointed at a room, and the holographic image of that room instantly changed color and stood out in the entire building.

"I compared the exterior and interior of the entire building and found that the dimensions of the interior and exterior never matched. It was as if part of the base had disappeared out of thin air. No more, no less, just the size of a room."

Steve understood: "You mean, there are secret rooms in the base?"

"Yes, according to calculations of the building's construction, this room is right here!"

Tony pointed to the part of the building that he highlighted.

"I suspect that this is where Nygma rests, so our first raid target is this room. Then we also need to pay attention to the fact that the defense strength in this Primarch base is extraordinary."

Tony switched to the hologram, and pictures of dozens of people appeared on it.

Five of them were highlighted.

"Soldier of the original body, of course you already know that there are 32 superpowers in this base, and these five are the most powerful. They have level four superpowers.

"Especially this one!"

Tony enlarged a photo. The person in the photo had long silver hair and an extraordinary appearance.

"Safi, the operation code name is [Blade Apostle], the leader of the Primarch Corps, there was a special report on TV.

"You can almost tell at a glance that his temperament is completely different from the people around him. According to various intelligence analyses, he is the strongest among the original bodies, and he is also overwhelmingly powerful."

Steve looked at the man in the photo with a solemn expression. As a warrior's instinct, he did not dare to have any contempt for him.

Tony continued to explain: "The abilities of the five level four superpowers are [Extreme Blade], [Teleportation and Invisibility], [Transformation Bomb], [Control Weather] and [Shuttle Object]. These abilities are very difficult. There is no chance of winning against us together, so we must defeat them individually!
"Besides, there is another thing that I am very worried about. Have you heard of the codename [Magneto]?"

Steve nodded and said: "I know, those superpower criminals have confessed that this person gave them superpowers."

"It's good to know."

There was a trace of fear on Tony's face, "I'm not sure that Magneto is not with this group of people, so he may also appear in the original base.

"If I really meet him, my ability will be completely destroyed. You must take me and escape quickly without any hesitation!"

Steve nodded and said: "No problem, even if we die, we must give it something valuable.

"Now that we have a plan, when will it start?"

Tony looked at his watch: "Tonight of course!"
