Chapter 3405
"Alright, the content of our meeting this time is to talk about the problem in the Bronx..." Stark sat in the Avengers base, looking at the people on both sides. The Avengers were basically all present, but because of this universe, the Avengers didn't have many people to begin with, so the meeting room still looked a bit cold.
"I have already talked to the members of the New Warriors team." Captain America Steve said first, "They will strengthen patrols to ensure as much as possible that no vicious crimes happen."
"Does the bull-headed monster count as a vicious crime?" Stark asked.
"Of course it counts." Steve replied, "However, they hadn't come out of Battleworld that day, and they have all returned this morning. If there is such a thing next time, they will arrive at the scene in the first time."
"I'm not talking about fighting the monster, but the occasion where this happened." Stark said.
"You mean the Black protest?" Natasha said, "I asked Falcon for his opinion, his view is relatively rational, but he also told me that you can't expect everyone to be so rational."
"What about Black Panther?" Hawkeye turned and asked.
"They have never participated in the struggle of Black people in the United States." Steve tilted his head and said, "The reason is very complicated, but I can understand him."
"Do you suspect that this contradiction was deliberately provoked?" Dr. Banner looked at Stark and asked, he is also a member of the Avengers, and Connors and Dr. Otto also joined, but Otto went on vacation, so he didn't come this time.
Stark nodded, told Miles's discovery, which can be completely called ironclad evidence, but also emphasized the abnormality of the two Ghost Riders.
Mentioning magic, everyone was a bit nervous. None of the people present could understand magic, even Stark. He uses magic in a completely different way from mages, more treating magic energy as a pure energy, and rarely engages in those idealistic things.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Stark sighed and said: "It seems that the kid's suggestion is useful. The Avengers must have their own magic combat troops, and can't rely entirely on the New York Sanctum."
Natasha nodded and said: "Indeed. The New York Sanctum doesn't have many people to begin with, and they are already busy maintaining the nodes of the magic defense network, so they can't be expected to support everywhere."
"What about Shi Difen?" Stark asked again.
"He is even busier." Natasha flipped through the schedule and said, "He stayed in the Sanctum Sanctorum for two days, and then went back to the hospital to perform surgery... God, he hasn't left the operating room for more than 70 hours."
"Dragging him out of the operating room, the resistance is too great." Connors was obviously an insider, he said, "Wealthy patients all over the world are queuing up, if he doesn't be a doctor, the whole world will unite to oppose us."
"Alright, then let's study the candidates." Stark said, "As almost the only one among you who can skillfully use magic, of course I have to participate."
"And you, Peter." Stark looked at Peter, "I remember you got magic energy before, that was the time with Venom."
Peter nodded and said: "I do have it, but I basically don't use it, I feel there is no occasion to use it."
"You probably have to use it this time." Stark said, "First get yourself a uniform, think of a code name, and then practice magic well."
"Can't it just be called Spider-Man?" Peter asked.
"There is already a Spider-Man." Stark replied.
"Not just one, there are Spider-Men everywhere in New York." Peter scratched his face and then said, "One more of me is not much, at worst change the color of the uniform, and then think of a code name like Magic Spider."
"Alright, whatever you want." Stark said, "But you have to strengthen your exercise recently." Peter looked down at his abdomen, vaguely seeing the outline of abdominal muscles, it is indeed time to exercise.
"Who else wants to join?" Stark looked around and said, "Those who know magic are preferred."
Others looked at each other, and none of them made a sound, because there was indeed no one among them who knew magic.
"Then that's it." Stark said, "Although that kid Danny is unreliable, the name he came up with is not bad. The new superhero team is called Midnight Sons, the tentative members are me, Peter, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, and the extra members Spider-Man Miles and Jarvis."
"Moon Knight?" Connors repeated the name, seemingly feeling a bit strange.
"Yes." Stark replied, "To be precise, it is the third-generation Moon Knight, who has recently resumed activities and also helped us solve the bull-headed monster."
"Wait a minute." Steve asked, "The moon in New York suddenly disappeared for a few seconds the night before last, was it him?"
"Yes, to deter the evil spirits." Stark replied.
"Then I can rest assured." Steve said, "At least there is an insider."
Stark looked at him with dissatisfaction, but thought about it, Moon Knight is indeed the most professional in this team, others are either half-way monks, or hold multiple posts, and there is no decent mage at all.
"I think you should find Shi Difen to be your extra member." Natasha said again, "Even if he can't be present in person, at least he can give you some theoretical help. If Shi Difen is too busy, then go find Loki, he should also be happy."
"If so, forming this team would be meaningless." Stark said, "We are still relying on other people's magic power. We have to be as independent as possible, independent, do you understand?"
"I will report this to Nick." Natasha said, "So that if you guys cause a mess one day, S. H. I. E. L. D. can go to clean it up in the first time."
Stark also understood the reason why everyone didn't look favorably on this team, but he still chose to insist.
"Just having this team can't solve the problem in the Bronx." Dr. Banner said very rationally, "The security situation in the Bronx is a social problem, and there is no way to solve it by relying on superheroes. Tony, have you thought about what to do?"
"Of course." Stark nodded and said, "I studied Hong Kong history overnight last night and found that Hong Kong and the Bronx do have similarities, most of them are historical legacy problems, and I also found many solutions in them."
Steve frowned slightly and said: "The New York government may not be willing to improve it. Are you planning to pay for it yourself?"
Stark nodded and said: "As long as the tumor of New York can be solved, spending some money is nothing."
"Do you know how much money this needs?" Steve's movement paused and then said, "This is not playing any simulation management game. The Bronx is very large, with a large population, even if it is just a comprehensive combing, what is needed is an astronomical figure."
"Stark Industries is in good operating condition." Stark said, "I believe Obadiah and Pepper will solve my worries."
Hearing Stark say this, others had nothing to say. A big rich man is willing to pay out of his own pocket to improve people's livelihood, they can only applaud and praise.
"Alright, the meeting ends here for now." Stark said, "For the next period of time, I may focus on building the base of the Midnight Sons, you guys keep an eye on the Avengers' work..."
After Stark left, several doctors also left one after another, Steve and Natasha didn't leave.
They are the oldest among all people, and the experience precipitated by time is not something others can compare.
"What do you think?" Steve asked while rubbing the cup.
"The idea is good." Natasha replied, "But there will definitely be all kinds of problems in the process, Tony will be anxious because of this, and others may not be able to provide any help, I can only hope he is lucky, don't step on all the pits."
"The Avengers also have to make preparations." Steve thought and said, "We will top it when necessary."
"You are always so reliable, Captain." Natasha smiled and said, "With S. H. I. E. L. D. here, there won't be any big chaos. More importantly, there is Moon Knight in the team."
"What? Tony is here?" Schiller, who was helping Strange fill out medical records at the desk of the Moon Temple, stood up and said, "Why did he come so fast?"
Schiller reached out, the hooded cloak hanging on the side flew over and covered his body. Khonshu roared in his ear: "Remember, you are a doctor, talk more, fight less!"
"Got it, got it." Schiller walked out with the long staff.
Iron Man wearing armor stood in the center of the hall, followed by two Spider-Men. One is Miles in a black-red uniform, and the other Spider-Man's figure is very familiar, but he is not wearing a red-and-blue tight suit, but a gradient from dark blue to black from head to toe.
Schiller saw at a glance that it was Peter, he remembered that Peter also had magic energy, that was the time when he stole electricity before, the power of faith has always been in his body, so even if he is no longer Spider-Man, he still has extraordinary abilities.
Schiller looked at his new uniform, which had a bit more depth and darkness than the classic Spider-Man uniform, which was very consistent with the team name Midnight Sons.
Stark's armor also changed color, not gold and red, but blue and white when he first invented the nano-armor, the shoulder armor became thicker and tilted slightly upward, seemingly imitating knight armor, and a blue shoulder cloak hung behind one shoulder, with a magic circle pattern printed on the cloak.
At first glance, it doesn't look like Iron Man at all, but a bit like a character in some magic setting game, much more gorgeous than the usual iron can shape.
"Good guy, all upgraded skins." Schiller said to Khonshu in his heart, "I also want to upgrade."
"Can you stop?" Khonshu replied, "My moonlight power is not for you to waste like this."
"Anyway, if you don't waste it on special effects, you have to waste it on fighting." Schiller said, "Add some special effects for me, I guarantee I won't fight today."
In the end, Khonshu still couldn't beat Schiller, moonlight energy constituted several white light chains that floated slightly, stretching out from behind Schiller.
Moon Knight waved the wings made of light chains and slowly landed from the second floor.
"Good guy, how did he upgrade too." Stark said to Jarvis in the armor, "I said I wanted to knock out a steel wing, you insisted it was too exaggerated, now it's good, I was compared by others, right?"
"Sir, can you be more mature?" Jarvis said, "We are here to form a superhero team, not to have a beauty contest!"
"Heh, it's normal for a sweeping robot to have no aesthetics." Stark said.
Stark stared at the wings behind Moon Knight, unlike ordinary feathers, the light chains are like wings and tentacles, when dancing irregularly in the air, it looks both holy and weird, very consistent with people's imagination of the moon.
Stark cleared his throat and said: "Hello, Moon Knight, we are here to invite you to join the Midnight Sons. This is a team specially aimed at magic-related events, what do you think?"
"Magic..." Moon Knight repeated the word, his gaze swept over them, and then said, "I don't see the connection between you and magic."
Stark snorted coldly, the magic core on his chest flowed with light, he rose into the air, and then said: "Then I'm afraid we have to show you."
Khonshu wailed in Schiller's heart: "Didn't you say you wouldn't fight?!!!"
Jarvis also shouted in Stark's headset: "You promised not to do it!!"
?? Tomorrow Schiller vs. Stark (actually Khonshu vs. Jarvis hahaha
