Agent Hill never expected that Killian, the culprit who injured Happy, would actually appear in Stark Tower at this time. Before that, the president gave a speech about the terrorist Mandarin hijacking the TV signal.
The matter has already escalated. If the military had not refused S.H.I.E.L.D.'s help in order to save face, which played into Nick Fury's hands, Nick Fury should be in the White House at this time instead of at the Tri-Wing Headquarters.
However, it is impossible for SHIELD to allow this kind of thing to continue to happen. Although SHIELD has evidence that Killian is related to the Extremis virus, this does not mean much, because this project has military funding, and it is necessary to investigate this
The project also means going against the military. This is something SHIELD absolutely cannot do. Nick Fury is not stupid enough to cause trouble for himself. He has other things to do and does not have time to attend the hearing.
.
Agent Maria Hill didn't say much to Miss Pepper Potts. After all, there were some things that were inconvenient to tell, and SHIELD couldn't explain how it knew about the Extremis virus - these were spies.
Behavior cannot be discussed on the table. Although Miss Potts really wants to agree to SHIELD's protection invitation, Tony Stark seems to be in a state of stubbornness. Although he seeks help in private, he
He always thinks that he can solve these things with his wisdom. As a modern man with a fragile psychology, the impact of the Battle of New York on Stark is not that simple. The impact beyond cognition has cast a layer of psychological shock on many people.
Shadow, even Stark, who is a billionaire, is no exception.
Judging from NYPD statistics, after the Battle of New York, the crime rate in New York as a whole increased higher than the unemployment rate. The black market for alien weapons trading has just emerged, and all gangs in New York have participated, and drug sales have risen rapidly.
New York became the largest place for drug sales—one in five Americans had been exposed to cocaine—and other types of drugs were spreading rapidly.
They also found a homeless man. This homeless man was originally a standard urban white-collar worker. He was married, had children, had a car and house loan, and worked diligently and overtime every day. After the Battle of New York, he abandoned
He lost his job and made his relatives think he was dead. When the NYPD found him, he had not shaved for several months. At that time, he was smoking a big cigarette butt and drinking with a group of homeless people. What did he say?
Not going back either.
"What's the use of work!" He said, "When the aliens come, we will all die anyway. As for those Avengers... If you ask me, they shouldn't save the world. How can this world be worse?
What? Look at me, if I am still alive, I will have to work until I die. As long as I am unemployed, the family will be finished...hiccup...so...hiccup...death compensation is still relatively good, at least
My wife can still receive it for several years."
The police also found a copy of "Legends of King Arthur" on him. The book was in tatters and they didn't know where he got it. "This is more reliable, more reliable than the National Guard. I have read it."
King Arthur, I was in the office building at that time." The homeless man said drunkenly, "I always feel that I can't keep up with the times, but in this era I finally have something familiar. My daughter likes this story
, I also like... My grandma told me, she is an immigrant from England, and I told this story to my daughter... I also know some other things, such as the fairy of the lake, such as the Irish leprechaun...
…The world is changing too fast. People need retro, jazz, coke containing cocaine, and need to return to the colonial state of the 17th century and use religion to fill the vacancy in their hearts..."
This is the common anxiety in the hearts of Americans after the Battle of New York. Stark's way to combat this anxiety is not to take drugs or never-ending parties, but to study his steel armor. Only more powerful armor can resist it.
This kind of fear cannot be eliminated. Therefore, he is unwilling to admit defeat. As long as he admits defeat, it means that he has lost to the terrorists. His steel armor cannot defend against aliens, and that feeling of anxiety will return.
Therefore, he refused any help that came to him. Even after Salomon returned to the main material plane, he was unwilling to tell the mystic about the matter.
"Salomon, wake up!" The mystic's eyes suddenly widened. This was at an art salon held by Athena. Even though the surrounding environment was a bit noisy, it still couldn't stop him from dozing off from the beginning of the salon.
Athena quietly twisted his ears, and then he woke up.
Seeing tears filling Salomon's eyes, Athena let go of her hand. "Today is the day to celebrate the success of Vanessa's art exhibition." Athena held a champagne glass in her hand and lowered her voice, "
Regardless of whether those paintings can be sold or not, you have to show that you have a promising future. Do you understand what I say?"
"Why me." Salomon cried sadly, rubbed his ears, and then yawned quietly. "Can't Lorna do it too?" he said, "Little Lorna is so cute, and she looks great in a dress.
Bright. I still have classes to attend, and I only sleep three hours a day now."
"Because I am your mother, you are my son, and you are my pride." Athena avoided talking about Lorna. I don't know what happened, but little Lorna suddenly reached the rebellious stage and became crazy about it.
Popular culture. Although she didn't stay up all night like the girls in school, her appearance of not listening to anyone was very troublesome. Bringing Lorna to such a contrived occasion was no less than leaving her here.
A bomb.
Salomon yawned again. He let Athena reach out to adjust his clothes and tie, and then accepted his adoptive mother's kiss. "To be honest, I don't like this kind of occasion either." He narrowed his eyes, like a bird.
The lazy cat said, "I prefer the way you look in armor and holding a spear. I think that suits you better. The dress cannot add to your glory, but the armor can. You are the most beautiful goddess on Mount Olympus."
"No matter how nice you say it, it can't reduce your martial arts training time. Now, stand up, go say hello to those artists, and then let them see your new works." Although the wise female war goddess didn't care about the praise, she still
Her expression betrayed her thoughts.
"Do you still have Circe's potion? I want to put the potion in the wine - it is always pleasant to face a group of stupid pigs, but not so much when facing a group of vain stupid pigs that look like humans.
It's simple, these stupid pigs also asked the salmon to listen to jazz when they were smoked." The mystic said, "I have never seen such stupid people. My sculptures are all very classical statues of gods, you
Do you think they can understand?"
"I'm not stupid enough to mess with a lovelorn woman just so you can avoid social situations."
"Isn't Circe still recovering from her broken love? It's been more than two thousand years! Odysseus is such a bad guy."
"Don't be jealous, my love belongs to you now, Salomon." Athena smiled and dragged the mystic toward a group of artists. She lowered her voice and said, "Hecate is on the earth. Go to her in advance next time and ask
Ask her if she has a potion that will allow you to escape the party."
