The Death Knell

With the soles of his feet and palms breathing fire, Tony flew over the car wreckage on the street and got into the alley on the opposite side. Only then did he realize that at some point, this place had turned into a battlefield between a group of people, and they were fighting fiercely.

For a moment, Tony almost felt like his youth was back. The situation here reminded him of those trashy bars he went to when he was young, where hippies and drunkards always got together in such a wonderful way.

Tony immediately recognized a person, that was the Punisher who had been beaten away by him not long ago, but now the strong man wearing a skull T-shirt was being entangled by a masked man wearing all white, and the two were having a thrilling fight with daggers of fighting.

In the street fighting battlefield centered on them, there were several people wearing or not wearing masks. They were all fighting against each other, and many of them were still cursing.

"Oh! Oh! Relax, friends!" Tony immediately flew up and aimed his palm cannon at everyone: "I just arrived at your party, can anyone smart tell me what happened here? Or Do you want me to send you all to a dark little house to calm down?"

"Iron Man?! You can come over and help, this man is a wanted murderer!"

The man in white who was fighting the Punisher dodged the opponent's dagger and counterattacked with his own dagger, but was blocked by the Punisher. Not only did he have no intention of stopping, he also invited Tony to arrest him together.

After Iron Man hit the Punisher that time, Fury complained, saying that the Punisher was his old friend, that there was something fishy about him, and that being wanted might be a conspiracy of the enemy, etc.

In short, it is to tell Tony that Frank is not a bad guy, he even helped train SHIELD agents, and is a staunch patriot. You shot the wrong person last time.

Tony didn't believe a word of it, because he had shown Jarvis many scenes of the Punisher's killings, and he could beat the corpses until they looked like rags. This was a typical performance of an antisocial schizophrenic.

But Fury still has to give face. Maybe the Punisher has some secret identity as an agent?

I just didn't expect to see the Punisher alive and kicking again here today. Originally, Tony thought that he would be paralyzed for at least several years after the last time.

"Wait a minute, everyone, stop now. How about we introduce ourselves?" Tony kept charging his weapons with both hands: "Just like me, Iron Man, Tony Stark, handsome and rich, and my hobby is science. , I hate people handing me things, so please introduce yourselves like this."

He fired a shot into the clearing, and the shock wave from the energy cannon in his palm pushed everyone away.

Frank also took the opportunity to drive back the white cloaked man with a dagger. He noticed that Iron Man's attitude had changed this time, so he immediately planned to leave from the direction of Iron Man.

But Tony wanted to know how much of what Fury said about the Punisher was true, so the armor blocked his way.

"You can't leave, we need to talk later."

The Punisher glanced at him, then at the people who had stopped fighting, and stopped in a defensive posture with his back against a wall.

The man dressed in white first answered Iron Man's question. His snow-white dress was extremely conspicuous at night. He replied:

"I am Moon Knight, a superhero and a bounty hunter. If I can catch this wanted criminal and send him to the police station, I can get a bonus. I suspect that the explosion in the building was caused by him. As soon as I got here , and found him sneaking around in the darkness."

"Humph, hand it over to the police? Are you planning to trade my head for the bounty on the road?" The Punisher exposed the opponent and said aggressively: "I can see from your skills that you have been a soldier before, and all your moves are You came here to kill me, why do you call yourself a hero? Bah!"

The man in white shrugged and took out a strange-looking gun from his belt: "Are you dead then? If you hadn't killed me first, would I have taken out a weapon to fight you? Just cooperate and I won't be able to catch you. Don’t have these things anymore?”

Tony quickly raised his hands and pointed at the two people: "Stop for a moment. Let me make a statement first, and then you can decide whether to move to the countryside and continue the fight. Then I don't care even if you all drive tanks against each other. First of all, there is some evidence. It shows that the Punisher may have been framed; secondly, I am in a bad mood now, and our earth is in trouble that I urgently need to solve."

Moonlight Knight tilted his head and thought for a moment, then slowly put down the weapon in his hand: "Isn't Iron Man a bad person for testifying? In that case, he can't be killed, bye!"

"wait"

Tony also wants to say that he is not the guarantee! That’s what Fury said! Don't drag yourself in!

But Moon Knight moved extremely quickly. He touched his belt, took out something invisible and threw it to the ground.

The white light suddenly lit up, and even Tony's steel suit was affected by the strong light and electromagnetism for a moment. When the white light disappeared, the knight really disappeared in place like the moonlight.

Tony sighed again, more than he had done tonight, probably more than he had in the past year.

This will cause hair loss. He covered the forehead of the mask with some sadness. The slippery touch seemed to indicate his future fate of hair loss:

"Okay, one of the instigators of the fight is gone, and the remaining people should have cleared up the misunderstanding. Can you tell me why you got into a fight?"

"He followed me all the way, but I didn't recognize him."

The Punisher pointed out an Asian man from the crowd wearing a black vest and red pants. The man looked a bit like Bruce Lee back then, from his hairstyle to everything.

The mixed-race Asian man turned around and left, as if he was sure that Tony would not fire on his back: "My name is Shangqi. I came to the United States to find my mother. Since it was a misunderstanding, there is nothing to say today. I originally wanted to arrest him." A wanted criminal who does good deeds."

Tony was silent. He turned to the middle-aged man who was fighting with Shang-Chi just now: "What about you? Why are you fighting again?"

The man who looked a little greasy in a long brown trench coat spread his hands, holding a stack of playing cards in his hand, and said with a smile: "I am a mutant, why don't I just pass by and watch the fun? Are you discriminating against me?"

"It doesn't look like you are being discriminated against, it's more like you are proud of your mutant status." Tony was too lazy to argue with the other party: "The military will be here soon. If you don't want to be caught in the laboratory, I suggest you leave now."

"Oh, we'll see you later, Iron Man. If you want to find someone to play cards with, or if you can't get what you want, you can come to Margaret Sisters Bar in Hell's Kitchen and ask me to pick it up for you. My name is Gambit King. Just ask around and you’ll find out.”

The other party turned around, raised his hand and shook it behind him, then left with a long iron rod.

Tony finally understood that this Gambit King was a thief. He probably came here to sneak into the Baxter Building and steal some money, but he obviously failed.

Forget it, attempted crime is not a crime. The most you can do is keep an eye on him more in the future. Tony turned his attention to the last person who was still there. He was a big black man wearing a tight yellow T-shirt and his muscles were about to burst the clothes. Tall.

"Big guy, everyone else just took advantage of the flash bomb to escape. Why are you still here? Why were you fighting with others just now?"

"I'm here to find him." The black man pointed at the Punisher and approached step by step: "My name is Luke Cage. I am a friend of Daredevil. He asked me to help keep an eye on the Punisher to prevent him from killing people randomly. , or be killed.”

After being thrown into Madagascar by Deathstroke a few years ago, Daredevil suffered from some victimization paranoia. Now he is paranoid when he goes out on patrol, worried that Deathstroke will suddenly jump out of the darkness.

But he also made a few new friends, such as the young black man with a hard body, Luke Cage.

Frank threw Tony a disposable cell phone and turned away: "Don't worry about my affairs. Jigsaw must die. Those who cannot be judged by the law will naturally be judged by me. Iron Man, I know you are a consultant to SHIELD. I Get out of here first, and you can contact me on that phone if anything happens."

After saying that, the Punisher ran out of the alley, magically pulled out a motorcycle from the garbage pile, got on it and ran away.

The black man Luke rolled his eyes. He said goodbye to Iron Man and took long strides to chase the Punisher. He has super physical fitness and endurance. Chasing a motorcycle on foot? He thought he could give it a try.

There were originally more than ten people in the alley, but in the end, Tony figured out the identity of a few of them, and the others fled. Tony really didn't want to fight them, as he had other business to attend to.

He wanted to sigh, but he held it back. In the end, he just blew out some breath from his nostrils and said to himself:

"There are so many superheroes now, should I set up an association or something? Otherwise, misunderstandings will happen when things like today happen, which are all unsafe factors."

"What association? What are you talking about?"

A red glove was placed on Tony's shoulder.

Turning around, Iron Man saw Captain America, who also brought Hawkeye and Black Widow with him. At this time, the three of them were curious about what Tony was talking to himself.

Tony was silent for a moment, then lifted up his mask and looked at Steve seriously:

"Avengers, I think I can rebuild it. I just encountered a group of masked men who had a melee due to a misunderstanding. This is not a good sign. As technology advances, there will be more and more superpowers. There must be someone who can let everyone A platform to communicate calmly.”

"I'm not optimistic about the consequences of that. If you unite all superpowers and let them obey SHIELD's arrangements, you will probably find that after a while they have become the ruling tools of the world's powerful countries."

Even with two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents behind him, Captain America is still outspoken. Of course he has thought about using the Avengers to protect the earth, but at the same time he does not want this alliance to be controlled by any authority.

We cannot underestimate the ambition of any politician and overestimate their integrity, otherwise it will only create another dictatorship.

Tony rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "There is no problem with this. I can buy this 'brand' from SHIELD. You and I will set up an independent agency ourselves and act within the scope of legal ethics. If you don't listen, Anyone’s command, everyone in this alliance is equal, and we can show our hands to vote when we encounter problems.”

"This is a big project."

Natasha took the opportunity to hint at something. She supported restarting the Avengers. After all, if she could get into the circle of superheroes, it would undoubtedly make her more useful to her boss.

Iron Man patted his chest, raised his mustache and smiled confidently:

"It's better if it's bigger. My old house has been empty and unoccupied. It can be used as a base of operations for everyone. At the same time, I'm very rich, and there's nothing that money can't do in human society."
