Chapter 3891
Penguin wants to lose his temper, but seeing the reporter behind Harvey Bullock, he doesn't dare to say anything. He is the mayor now; every move will be magnified by the media. Who knows if the other party is live streaming? If any indecent words and behaviors are exposed, his year will be wasted.
However, the park he invested in was blown up, and he is so angry that he swallows this breath, almost suffocating himself into a ripe penguin. Fortunately, Bullock soon discovers the group of Avengers.
The Avengers are big stars in New York. Captain America and Iron Man are the top of the top. The second-generation Spider-Man, because he inherited the reputation of the first-generation Spider-Man, also has a group of loyal fans. Bullock immediately leans over and shakes hands with Captain America with a full face of smiles.
Captain America has a lot of experience in dealing with these things, he says: "Facing such a terrible accident, we shouldn't have an entertainment-oriented interpretation. The police and agents are investigating, and we should also give them enough space. Detective Bullock, I suppose you think so too, right?"
Captain America subconsciously looks at the situation downstairs, and the camera turns with him. Sure enough, the police station of Goyork City—that is, the Cat Getan police station and the New York police station merged into one—is sending a large number of police forces to seal the scene. The FBI agents originally stationed in New York are also crossing the cordon to take samples from the accident scene.
And Harvey Bullock, who is called "Detective Bullock," is standing alone on the roof with a reporter filming. Captain America's words put him under the accusation of being unprofessional.
Bullock seems not to have expected the other party to be so seasoned. After all, the superheroes and supervillains in Cat Getan are all ruthless and don't talk much, and he can't catch anyone usually, so naturally he doesn't have this kind of experience, and almost got himself wrapped in.
"Cough, cough, conveying the truth to the public is also one of the duties of the police. Captain, what do you think of this attack case? Do you think it was done by Joker?"
Captain America shakes his head and says: "This is clearly not an explosion case; if directional blasting could achieve such precise cutting, the other party would have won the Nobel Prize long ago. This was done by a supervillain."
"You mean a super-powered person? Who do you think is more suspicious?"
"It's impossible to draw a conclusion for now..." Captain America is saying this when Peter walks out of the door to the roof and says: "I went to the accident scene to take a look, the traces of cutting..."
Seeing the camera, Peter's brows frown heavily. Taking advantage of the reporter turning around, Iron Man grabs the camera and takes a look, then says: "Shit, live TV broadcast."
"Hey, you can't do this!" The cameraman shouts.
Natasha and Coulson immediately walk up, flash their S. H. I. E. L. D. credentials at the other party, and say: "S. H. I. E. L. D. Filming the front faces of Avengers members without permission belongs to portrait infringement. S. H. I. E. L. D. legal personnel will contact you within seven days, get ready to lose your pants."
The reporter turns pale, because this was entirely his personal behavior. American reporters are all like this: if you get the headline, there are benefits, but if you cause trouble, you have to bear it yourself; the TV station won't be responsible for him.
He glares fiercely at Bullock who invited him, and quickly leaves from the roof door. Bullock still wants to say something, but is instantly pinned down by Hawkeye behind him. Natasha finds two recording pens and a micro-camera on him.
"Standard spy equipment." The female agent says, "Get ready to wait for the charge of treason, sir."
"You can't treat me like this! I am a regular guest of prime time! One word from me can make your..."
"Our what?" Natasha smiles and says, "Our director doesn't need votes. Alright, let him go, take him down. Commissioner Gordon will know how to handle it."
Hawkeye drags him away from the roof. Everyone focuses on Peter, signaling him to finish the words he didn't finish just now.
"It is indeed not an explosion," Peter says, "It is some kind of laser cutting. As far as I know, currently only two people have this ability: one is Superman, and one is Cyclops."
"Hiss..." Captain America takes a light breath and says, "These two guys are not easy to deal with. What now? Should we contact Professor X?"
"Do you think if it really was him, he would admit it?" Iron Man asks, "Don't forget, although Professor X is relatively moral in some aspects, Superman, who is equally suspicious as Cyclops, is an alien. Professor X wouldn't care if an alien is wronged or not. And before, Superman also hurt Magneto; we all know that these two look like enemies, but their actual love-hate relationship could be filmed into eight TV series."
"You mean, Professor X wouldn't admit it, and would even frame it on Superman? But what if it really was Superman who did it?"
"Then he must have a reason he had to do it." Iron Man sighs and says, "Don't tell me you didn't see it, Superman is that kind of very pure good person, who can't tolerate even half a grain of sand in his eyes."
"Although that's how it's said, he is an alien after all." Bruce frowns and says, "And although he looks stable, he also once punched Magneto into the sun. Who knows what is going on with him."
The atmosphere is silent. Captain America takes the lead to break the silence, he says: "Let's go down and take a look first, if we can find some ironclad evidence, that would be great."
They go down from the building, but the bottom is already crowded with people. Besides the police, there are also many reporters. This accident can be said to be the most serious attack case since the establishment of the new city. All reporters want to get the headline.
Seeing the Avengers coming over, they cheer. And another figure flying from the sky makes them even more excited—that is Wonder Woman.
Although New York merged with Cat Getan and Metropolis respectively, because this place is very large, superheroes don't have many chances to meet. This is Wonder Woman's first meeting with the Avengers.
Wonder Woman lands and sees Captain America wearing bright colors. She walks up and shakes hands with Captain America and says: "Hello, Diana Prince, Amazon Princess, codename Wonder Woman."
"Hello, Captain America." Captain America appears very cautious. He knows Diana is also a big star and has a very special political status. The meeting of the two is like a meeting between the President of the United States and the Amazon Queen, and neither can lose face for the country they represent.
Bruce is the first to be unable to sit still, he says to Wonder Woman: "Why didn't Superman come with you? Aren't you inseparable usually?"
The term "inseparable" makes Wonder Woman frown, but she still explains: "He has things to do and couldn't come. It's the same for me to come over to check the situation. Can you tell me what happened here?"
Wonder Woman took a look at the accident scene when she flew over, but didn't look carefully. At this moment, she stands here and looks over, and her pupils instantly shrink—clearly she also realizes that this is not some explosion case, but someone used a laser to cut the entire building.
Eyes being able to emit lasers is Superman's signature skill, and many people in Metropolis have seen it. Wonder Woman almost immediately realizes that Bruce's unfriendly attitude is because they suspect Superman.
Wonder Woman is anxious in her heart. Superman really can't make it over now, because in order to pay the high rent, he is acting as a reporter in the front row, preparing to take the first-hand news to exchange for prize money.
Although she knows that proving innocence is more important, appearing now is also late, and arriving late is more suspicious than not coming. Wonder Woman sighs in her heart, really not knowing what else to explain.
Peter enters the accident scene again, and not long after, he comes out. He gives Iron Man a look, and Iron Man understands what he means. He waves his hand lightly, a laser cuts the cordon, and the reporters swarm in, directly poking their cameras into the faces of the superheroes and police.
The two take advantage of the chaos and slip out of the crowd. Peter looks left and right, lowers his voice and says: "There are claw marks on the wall."
"What? God, it wouldn't be..."
"It is highly likely that Cyclops and Wolverine fought." Peter sighs and says, "Although I don't know why they fought, and even cut the building open directly, the police will soon find evidence. I'm just afraid..."
"Afraid Superman will be wronged?"
"Something like that. Our new mayor might not be willing to offend mutants; after all, Magneto is a terrorist, and offending him won't end well. But Superman is a good person; even if this matter is pinned on him, he won't do anything to Penguin. Penguin might destroy the evidence."
"Did you take photos?"
"Hmm, they are in my phone."
"Send them to James Gordon."
"You mean..."
"This commissioner is also a good person; even if he isn't familiar with Superman, he won't watch him be wronged. Even if he risks offending mutants, he will definitely make the truth public. Having it announced by the Cat Getan Police Commissioner carries more weight than anyone else."
Peter sighs. He opens his phone, finds the number and starts sending the pictures. He rubs his forehead and says: "Ever since the two Earths merged into one, the trouble has doubled. I really don't quite understand it."
"If even your smart little brain starts to ache, what about the others?" Iron Man laughs twice and says, "Let's go."
"Where to?"
"We have to go probe Professor X's tone. Why Wolverine and Cyclops fought is the key point."
Peter stops his steps, he says: "I heard they are rivals in love."
"Yes, but they haven't been rivals in love for just one day." Iron Man says while walking, "They have had a bad relationship because of Jean Grey for more than ten years, why didn't they fight early or late, but fought at this time?"
"I guess one side was stimulated." Peter speculates, "Judging from the traces at the scene, Wolverine seems not to have taken the initiative to attack; he has been defending, and leaving claw marks on the wall was also to escape. But Cyclops destroyed the entire building."
"Do you know Cyclops?"
"Met a few times before, not too familiar, but he doesn't look like the kind of person who is very violent, otherwise he would have joined the Brotherhood of Mutants. Since he can work for the X-Men, he should be quite steady."
"Hard to say." Iron Man shakes his head and says, "Is there anyone in the world more unstable than Jean Grey? Doesn't Professor X always keep her by his side?"
"That's because Jean Grey is unstable wherever she stays; once she breaks out, it's a disaster for the whole universe, so it's better to keep her by his side and watch her, and he can warn before the outbreak starts."
They walk toward the X-Men's base in Manhattan, and soon arrive in front of the base gate. But just as they are about to walk in, they suddenly feel a heat wave rising.
Iron Man picks up Peter and runs at the fastest speed, and the two fly two miles away before daring to look back. Looking back, they see the raging flames rising over the X-Men base.
"It wouldn't be Jean Grey breaking out, right?!"
