There was a woman waiting for him by the elevator outside the restroom.

When Tony came over, the woman said, "What a great thing you're doing for those young people."

Tony put his hands in his pockets and said, "They deserve it, and it makes my conscience feel better."

"It's been said that generosity is linked to guilt, but you have money and you can make as many mistakes as you like, right?" the woman said.

After pressing the elevator, Tony looked at the lady and said, "Do you want to go up?"

"I just want to stay here." The lady said and reached into her bag.

Tony quickly grabbed her hand and stopped him, "Okay, don't move!"

The lady looked at Tony strangely, Tony shook his head and apologized: "Sorry, occupational disease!"

Tony thought that the lady wanted to take out the gun. After using the double, his state has been in a state of dissociation.

The lady looked at Tony with tears in her eyes: "It's okay, I work in the State Department, Human Resources, I know it's boring, but it allows me to support my son, I'm so proud of him growing up, he called Charlie Spencer, you killed him, in Sokovia."

The lady took a photo out of the bag and pressed it on Tony's shoulder, and Tony's expression was also moved by it.

The lady began to reprimand Tony loudly: "Of course, this is not important to you. You think you are fighting for us, but you are only fighting for yourself. Who will avenge my son, Stark? He is dead, It's all your fault."

The lady did not retaliate in the end, and she left after saying this.

Tony stood alone in front of the elevator for a long time.

In the news reports the next day, a news headline was "Suing the Avengers, Global Anti-Violence".

The reported case was exactly the war that broke out in Lagos in order to hunt down Rumlow before Steve and the others.

“Last month, in Lagos, Nigeria, 11 Wakanda citizens were tragically killed in clashes between the Avengers and mercenaries. These normally isolated Wakandas were doing pro bono work in Lagos when the attack occurred .”

In addition to journalists broadcasting, King T'Chaka of Wakanda demanded accountability for the Avengers: "The blood of our people is spilled on foreign soil, not only because of crimes, but because of the indifference of those who stop them , a victory won at the expense of the innocent is not a victory at all."

Steve was watching the news in the office, he frowned, and lowered the volume of the news.

"They're not bound by international law, and if we don't respond to this kind of behavior, it's going to be like this, what legal right does an empowerer like Wanda Maximoff have to operate in Nigeria?" the reporter said.

Wanda was also in her room watching the news on TV. She shut herself up for a long time. When Steve came over to check on her situation, Wanda said to herself, "It's all my fault."

"No." Steve turned off the TV.

Wanda's voice sounded very flat, but the more flat it was, the more it showed how ups and downs her inner emotions were: "Then turn on the TV again, they can name names."

As Wanda spoke, tears were already rolling in her eyes.

The largest civilian casualties in this incident were caused by her.

Chapter six hundred and ninety fifth: Difficult situation

Steve folded his hands on his chest and said, "I should have removed that bomb vest before you had to do it, Rumlow mentioned Bucky, and all of a sudden, I was that Brooklyn sixteen Young boy, someone died, it's my fault."

Steve went to Wanda's bed and sat down.

"Blame both of us." Wanda glanced at Steve, his face full of remorse.

Steve shook his head. "This job...we save as many people as we can, and sometimes we can't save everyone, but if we can't accept that, next time, maybe none of us will."

Steve felt much better after talking about Wanda.

In the fight against evil there is sacrifice, that is unavoidable.

At this time, a person suddenly drilled out of the wall, it was the illusion.

Steve and Wanda turned around at the same time, and Wanda said, "Xiao Huan, what we talked about..."

Vision pointed at the door and said, "Yeah, but the door was open, so I thought..."

Vision pointed at Steve again: "Captain Rogers said that Mr. Stark came back and asked me to notify him."

Steve nodded: "Thank you, I'll go right away."

"I'm going through the door!" Vision walked towards the door, then turned around and added, "Also, he brought a guest, do you know who it is? Secretary of State."

After Vision finished speaking, Steve and Wanda took a deep breath.

When the Avengers were all assembled at the base, the Secretary of State began his speech.

"Five years ago I had a heart attack and passed out on my swing after playing golf, and that turned out to be the greatest blessing of my life, because after thirteen hours of surgery and triple bypass surgery, I discovered What forty years in the military didn't teach me, vision!"

Stark, Steve, Natasha, Wanda, Vision, Roddy, and Sam sat at the desk, while the Secretary of State spoke in front of them with body movements.

"The whole world owes an irrepayable favor to the Avengers. You fought for us, protected us, and risked your life. Although many people regard you as heroes, some people prefer to use the word vigilante."

Natasha asked: "Which word would you use, Mr. Secretary of State?"

The Secretary of State replied immediately: "Dangerous, how? How would you describe a group of capability enhancers stationed in the United States, habitually disregarding the borders of sovereign states, going where, doing what they want, and frankly, they are very concerned about the damage caused. The consequences also don't seem to care."

The Secretary of State pressed the button in his hand.

Scenes of the Avengers' battles appeared on the big screen.

"New York! Washington DC! Sokovia! Lagos!"

The Secretary of State showed these past scenes one by one, and all the members of the Avengers present participated in it. When seeing the last scene of Lagos, Wanda took a deep breath and forced herself not to shed tears.

Wanda was not crying because she was cowardly, but because she was blaming herself for hurting innocent people.
