Avengers polar silver wolf

Chapter 9 The Eve of Doomsday (7)

Twenty minutes later, Coulson and Bruce were already standing under the Stark Tower.

The first floor of this building is the huge Ark Reactor, which runs directly from the first to the third floor. It is the center of the Stark Tower and the core of the entire Manhattan area. It supplies power to the entire city center.

"Are we still going up from the original elevator?" Bruce asked.

He couldn't be more familiar with everything here, after all, this was once the Avengers' home.

After the SHIELD building was destroyed, Stark took the initiative to move the Avengers headquarters to the top floor of his Stark Building, and established a small airport and laboratory here. Everyone discussed every battle here.

Deployment and arrangement.

"The security system here is so tight that not even a mosquito can get in. Ever since he broke through the firewall of Stark Tower last time, Stark has been continuously upgrading and rebuilding the system. He cannot accept it anymore, so..."

"So you found me." Bruce said teasingly.

"You and Stark are good friends. I believe you must have a way." Coulson saw that his intentions were seen and he used the trick. "After all, this is for the whole world, isn't it?"

After hearing this, Bruce thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we have no choice but to convince him to return to the Avengers." Then he led Coulson through the bustling staff and security in the hall to a place.

Entrance to the underground passage.

"This passage leads to Stark's secret room and is also the entrance to the air raid shelter of Stark Tower. He secretly built this place after the New York War. The reinforced concrete was poured in layers to make this place airtight. It is said that it can even withstand nuclear bombs.

Attack." Bruce said to Coulson as he entered a long and narrow passage underground.

"I've heard of this place. It's a secret of Stark Tower. Everything inside is managed by Jarvis. No human effort is needed at all, so Stark should be the only one who knows the password to enter." Coulson said thoughtfully.

Thinking said.

"Yes, you are worthy of being a senior agent of SHIELD. That's right. But you overlooked one thing, that is..." Bruce pointed to the sky with a smile.

"You mean...Veronica?!" Colson said in surprise.

"You all know this, and I still want to leave it in suspense. It was the result of Tony and I's research here together." Bruce was also a little caught off guard.

"About three years ago, shortly after the New York War, NASA detected an unidentified satellite appearing in low-Earth orbit and almost collided with the U.S. Atmospheric Thermal Radiation Detection Satellite No. 18. If it hadn't been for the U.S.

The satellite lowered its flight altitude in time, and there could be danger at any time at such a close distance," Coulson replied.

"Well," Bruce stopped in front of a door that was more complicated than a bank vault, "Actually, you don't need to be nervous, oh, um, the password should not have been changed, probably... um, this is it," he said

Bian entered a long string of characters on the 26-key password pad consisting of Arabic numerals, Latin letters and English, "Stark and I will control the error to one billionth of a micron. There will definitely be no problems. It's yours."

People's nerves are too tense." After saying that, there were only a few slight metal collision sounds, the door slowly opened, and the lights inside automatically illuminated everything.

"Oh my god, what is Stark...doing? Didn't he say that he has destroyed most of the steel suits? These..." Coulson said in surprise.

"Yes, it was in his bombed-out home." Bruce said with a bit of pretentiousness.

"Welcome, Dr. Bruce Banner, it's an honor to meet you. You have been missing for a year, five months and four days. The entire Atlantic Ocean was scanned two months ago, and no plane wreckage was found.

We can stop searching the world now." The female voice that sounded around him was not the familiar Jarvis's voice, which surprised Bruce a little.

"Thank you for your hard work, uh...ma'am, don't stop the search just yet, and don't notify Mr. Stark yet." Bruce said, he hadn't figured out how to meet Stark yet.

"But..." Before the female voice could finish speaking, another more familiar voice came:

"Look who is here, little Banner, oh, my God, you are finally back. Don't get me wrong. Jarvis is my butler. How could he not tell me? And he forgot to tell you that he is now

She has completely changed her appearance, and her name is Friday now." As soon as the cheerful voice fell, a man with a hooked nose, piercing eyes, lean beard and a high-end suit walked out, followed by Agent Romanoff. Seeing Bruce, she was obviously

He was surprised, and he was even more surprised when he saw Colson.

"Stark, Natasha, I...I just haven't figured out how to tell you or what to say..." Bruce was caught off guard.

"What can I say, Dr. Banner, I'm so happy to see you come back alive," Stark said with a smile, "You want to show off that you haven't forgotten the number 43 composed of Arabic numerals, Latin and English.

Do you have the super IQ of a cipher group? Come on, let me go upstairs. There is champagne and whiskey upstairs. I am just here to calm your nerves today."

"Mr. Stark..." Colson reminded with a smile.

"Colson, you said you didn't know how to come and see me after you died. It's true that you are there, but your SHIELD underground organization is really doing a good job. Why don't you ask Natasha to go with you."

Stark said enthusiastically.

"Wha...what, you already knew that I was not dead?" Coulson was even more surprised, "It's impossible, SHIELD's underground organization is top secret, you..."

"Hahahaha, let's go upstairs first," Stark said as he led a group of people into the elevator, "Not long after SHIELD was destroyed, I was sorting through all the internal files of SHIELD and found a hidden secret.

I was very interested in the very deep and complexly encrypted file, so I spent about a day and night opening it. I found that it was a detailed report on all the actions of your SHIELD underground organization. I have to say,

You did a great job there, but too few people knew about it. In fact, when you were tracking down Ivanochilian's remnants, I was also obtaining various first-hand information from SHIELD's ground organization and my heavenly

Several spy satellites were looking for them. But the strange thing was that they disappeared every time they were found, which meant that they had been killed first, and they were clean and tidy, just like SHIELD. So from then on

I began to wonder if there is such a more mysterious branch of SHIELD. And the only one who can end the mission and eliminate the target before SHIELD establishes the target and executes the mission, I bet is only SHIELD itself. Do you want to hear it?

Once you hear the details of my more rigorous reasoning," Stark said with a smirk.

"No need, I bet even though everything seems to be in your expectation, there is one thing you definitely don't know." After hearing all this, Colson said helplessly.

"Oh, no, am I missing something?" Stark asked with interest.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.'s underground organization is now history."

"What's going on?" This was indeed beyond Stark's expectation, "Why? How could this happen? I thought I would be able to use more resources after meeting you."

"Alas," Colson said with regret, "let this tree, which has been hollowed out by insects, rot together with its underground root system."

"Are you saying that even an organization as secretive as SHIELD's underground organization will be infiltrated by Hydra?" The smile on Stark's face began to slowly fade.

Coulson nodded: "No matter how secret it is, no matter how unknown it is, it is still part of SHIELD. If the tree trunk above falls, the tree stump and underground roots will be exposed. The last time the SHIELD headquarters was

The crisis is just the beginning. Another of our agents, Mei, was trained by the Crossbones Special Forces. She was found drowned in the bath a month ago, and Hydra has gone crazy."

"Um……"

Stark frowned and said thoughtfully, "I have been looking for him since he was buried when the SHIELD building collapsed. It is said that he was saved by a mysterious medical team. And that medical team was like

It appears out of thin air, and there is no information about it at all, but don’t worry, Friday is setting up a dragnet, and they will definitely find them as long as they are on this earth.”

While they were talking, Bruce and Romanoff stood awkwardly together in the back. Romanoff didn't expect that the lover he had longed for would see him so unexpectedly. At that time, she was sent by Director Fury.

Contact Stark to cool down the relationship between the Avengers or Rogers and Stark. Unexpectedly, before they chatted for a few words and before their true intentions were expressed tactfully, Stark would take her to the secret room.

Watch for a surprise.

result……

Bruce still didn't say a word, only occasionally peeking at Romanov. After not seeing each other for so long, Romanov's proud figure, beautiful face and the refreshing fragrance of her body remained unchanged. The reason why

After Tron is defeated, he will take a plane and resolutely leave the Avengers, just to escape Romanoff's love, because staying there is impossible to get rid of the attraction of such a beautiful woman. Even if he can barely resist it at first

But if he can't stand fighting together day after day, sooner or later, his psychological defenses will collapse.

They cannot be together because he is not only a scientific genius with an IQ that is envied by everyone, but he is also the Hulk who destroys everything.

Although Natasha can sing a "lullaby" to calm Hulk and return to his human form, it is impossible to guarantee that this is foolproof, and if an accident occurs, the consequences will be disastrous. The person she loves deeply has been hurt by her, and she almost

It is difficult to recover. If he really died because of him, he would not be able to forgive himself anyway, so he always chooses to escape at this time, because he never wants to experience this kind of pain again, so...

"I'm sorry," Bruce whispered to Romanoff, hoping to break the ice.

"What?" Romanov was also very conflicted. She didn't know what to say or what to say. At this time, Bruce, who had always been relatively silent and inactive, actually spoke first, which surprised her.

"I want to apologize to you. When you asked me to return, I didn't respond and cut off the connection directly. I...I'm sorry for making you worry." Bruce's voice was still low, but every word fell on Romanov's heart.

.

"Yes, I'm quite worried. After all, you are part of our Avengers, but it's good to come back. I hope something like this won't happen again in the future."

These words were spoken coldly, like a superior speaking to a subordinate, and even Romanov himself was shocked.

What happened to me? The things I wanted to say for such a long time, those concerns, sadness, the pain in my heart when he just left, the pain in my heart, and even the coquettish behavior like other girls. In an instant, it turned into

He used such harsh and even hurtful language, what on earth had happened to him?

"oh."

Bruce responded in a low voice that it was normal for him to make her so worried and sad, and to be angry. In fact, Romanov was usually a cold woman, and it was her style to speak with thorns and poison.

Call her Black Widow.

Romanov really didn't know how to express her feelings at this time. Perhaps these emotions towards Bruce had been buried in her heart for too long and were difficult to rediscover. All she could do now was to do her best.

Looking at him with eyes, they say eyes are the windows to the soul, hoping that he can see his heart through this window, but Bruce's eyes are wandering and evasive, and the two people's eyes are always unable to meet each other.

The reason for this was not what Bruce wanted.

Those eyes were so beautiful, so bright, so beautiful that he dared not look directly at them, because they could see through everything, and his gaze could reveal his heart through his own eyes in an instant, which made him feel that he saved the embarrassment of language.

But at the same time, he was afraid. He didn’t know what Romanov was thinking in his heart. People often feel indescribable fear of unknown things, so this contradictory psychology made Bruce want to take a look at Romanov’s expression, but he didn’t want to.

Dare to touch her burning gaze.

Soon the elevator slowly stopped, the elevator door slowly opened, and the view suddenly opened up.

This is a room overflowing with books. It is surrounded by tall cabinets. In the middle of the room is a large writing table, which is covered with scratch paper filled with dense formulas and algorithms and several thumbed-up books.

A thick book that is about to fall apart.

The group of people got out of the elevator, and the two bookcases behind them moved slowly to cover the elevator door. When the movement was completed, such a mysterious mechanism could not be seen from the outside. The two cabinets and the surrounding cabinets seemed to become a whole.

"It turns out that this elevator leads directly to your study, but I wonder how a high-tech leader like you, who has the world's most advanced artificial intelligence, can do calculations by hand, and also need such a large library?" Cole

Sen twisted the pieces of tissue paper on the table and said with admiration.

Stark smiled disapprovingly, and then said lightly: "It's okay to practice calligraphy. Artificial intelligence helps us live easier, but it is us humans who are degraded. I don't want my brain to be in my steel battle."

The armor is rusty, and as for these books, most of them are placed there to hide my secret room..."

"This is relatively common. We at SHIELD have also used bookshelves as secret doors. Most of the books are just for show, and some are even weighed by kilograms," Coulson looked at sarcastically as if he was mocking himself.

Surrounded by a dazzling array of bookshelves, every book is placed together in an orderly manner. "Oh, many of them haven't been opened yet."

"You and I seem to be a little different," Stark said, calling everyone out and turning off the lights in the study room. "I had finished reading most of the books in high school. I had no choice but to put them there. And since there are

I never bother to remember things. What I remember in my mind are things that are not in the books. In this regard, I am very similar to Einstein. So most of the books here were put in there reluctantly.

"

"So, what about the small number of books left? Why are there still books that are almost ruined by you?" Colson said unwillingly.

"Oh, the rest are ancient books from hundreds of years ago that I bought from the city library. My Latin is not good, so it takes some effort to read those ancient Greek and ancient Roman texts."

“Wouldn’t it be easier to translate it into English for you this Friday?”

"That study room is the only place in my whole building that has not been stained by the minions of technology. Human beings need a holy room where they can think for themselves, so that technology can truly become a tool instead of replacing us, so there I

There is no user interaction interface, so Jarvis and Friday can only rely on the only old-fashioned phone there to contact me. The elevator in the secret room is also completely operated by the earliest heuristic switch, and there is no need for Jarvis at all.

help." Stark said meaningfully.

As a giant who has always stood at the forefront of science and technology, he can bend down, let go of everything, and return to the essence of human beings. He insists on himself in the fog of complicated science and does not become a vassal of science. Colson was also impressed by Stark's words.

Shocked, a feeling of admiration and admiration arose spontaneously.

"I used to think that you were nothing but fancy and pretentious, but today you really impressed me. I investigated a person in SHIELD, named Norman Osborn. You must have heard of him.

Tony.”

"Well, of course, I have heard that Osborne Company was an energy company with great success and potential in those years. It got Stark Industries into trouble several times. How could I not know that his chairman Norman is really

He is a rare leader and a rival that I admire very much. Unfortunately..." Stark sighed.

"They are both in the energy industry, and they are also involved in the high-tech military industry, but the paths you two are taking are completely opposite," Colson said.

"Yes, our two companies are indeed very similar. It is said that the founder of Osborne Company, Benjamin Osborne, and my father, Howard Stark, met several times at Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works.

The two hit it off and met happily. They once wanted to establish a joint company, but it was shelved due to the antitrust laws of the United States. I didn't expect the final outcome to be like this."

"Do you know why this is so? This conversation with you today made me finally know the reason." A smile appeared on Colson's face.

"Why? My and Norman's personalities are so similar, why did he become like that? I really never understand." Stark wondered.
