Shout!
“What happened? Do you know where Mirage Knight is?!” Two minutes later, Spiderman finally arrived and landed beside Iron Man, watching Francis, who had been captured in front of him and asked nervously.
“No, this guy doesn’t know anything at all.” Tony’s tone clearly indicates that he was upset, and Iceman couldn’t retrieve anything of value.
“What then?!” Peter asked worriedly after hearing Tony’s answer.
Lin Rui has been kidnapped for one night now and they don’t know what will happen to him after such a long time. And now Francis is their only clue. If there is no news here then they really don’t know how to find Lin Rui.
“Let me take him back to school. Professor Charles should be able to find out something that is still hidden in his mind. Sometimes, there are things in people’s memory that had been erased.” Regarding Francis, Iceman has only this last option to find out some information out of him.
“Professor X?” Peter narrowed his eyes when he heard Iceman’s suggestion.
Professor X’s name is remembered by many people from the Mutants war decades ago. Although Professor Charles has retired and started Xavier school for the gifted and young, he is still a bright banner in the Mutants circle. And, as a moderate Mutant, Professor Charles had always wanted to be at peace with humanity.
“Well, I believe there must be something about the power behind Francis in his memory, and only Professor Charles can see what is hidden in his mind. Don’t worry, I’ll send him back when I get the information.” Worried that the people in front of him wouldn’t believe his words, Iceman seriously promised.
“I believe in Professor X!” Peter said quickly.
“Take his away, there is no other way.” Although Tony wanted to find Lin Rui himself, he really is out of options here.
“Well, do bring him back! Francis can only die in my hands!” When no one noticed him, Deadpool, who had already climbed up from below, stepped out from behind and shouted.
Wade doesn’t dare to face the rescued Vanessa. So he had been hiding in the corner, and when he saw Francis being taken away, he had to come out of his hiding place.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back in a while.” Iceman nodded and replied when he heard Deadpool’s words.
Then, without the slightest resistance from Francis, Iceman controlled him and Blink, who had been standing beside Iceman, created a s.p.a.ce door again. With Blink in here, they will return soon.
Dī Dī!
“Threat item detected!” However, just as Iceman took Francis towards the s.p.a.ce gate, J.A.R.V.I.S.’s alarm sounded suddenly from Iron Man.
Then two beams of light from Iron Man pointed directly in two directions: Angel Dust, who was frozen by Iceman, and Francis, who was captured by him. None of the people at the scene were fools. After being reminded by J.A.R.V.I.S, they all knew that it should be a remote-controlled bomb inside Francis and Angel Dust. It seemed that the forces behind Francis saw him being taken away and finally made the last move.
“This! …” Francis, who was still calm, suddenly became desperate when he saw the light from Iron Man pointing at himself. Apparently, he didn’t believe that he had a remote control bomb inside him.
Boom!
The next moment, an explosion occurred on this platform, and numerous small pieces of ice were blown up and scattered. However, there was only one explosion, and Francis, who had been promptly thrown out by Iceman, fell to the ground and did not explode.
“Is this … was that a faulty bomb?” Looking at Angel Dust, who had now turned into many pieces on the side, and Francis who had just fallen on the ground, Deadpool asked while hiding behind Iron Man.
Deadpool’s words also expressed the doubts of everyone at the scene. Just now J.A.R.V.I.S clearly detected two threat items which were clearly bombs but why is it that only Angel Dust exploded? The most important person, Francis, did not explode. Iceman could not understand this situation. Was it really a faulty bomb?
“Threat removed.” Soon after, JARVIS tested Francis again, sending out a report that left everyone a little confused about what was going on.
“Looks like luck is on our side this time.” Although it wasn’t known why Francis wasn’t killed, it was of course best that he didn’t die. Iceman laughed again and stunned Francis, who was looking equally shocked on the ground.
After being almost killed by a remote bomb, Francis is now really angry at the forces behind him. However, he did not know much about them. Judging by the current situation, he must have known something about the forces behind him and his memory was forcibly erased or the other party wouldn’t have put a bomb inside of him as insurance.
“I am going to go now, otherwise I don’t know what else might happen.” Francis was pushed into the s.p.a.ce door that Blink had drawn out again, and Iceman walked in as he spoke.
Shout!
The people present watched the three people in front of them disappearing into the s.p.a.ce door one after another, and the s.p.a.ced door close soon after. Iceman said that they would be back soon, and at this time, Tony’s city-wide search was continuing, but they couldn’t find anything.
Huh ~
“Are you really Wade?” Just as Peter leaned next to Iron Man and whispered something to Tony, Vanessa, who had been hiding just after being rescued, finally summoned up her courage and went to Deadpool and asked seriously.
“Uh … this, can I say I am not?” In response to her girlfriend’s question, Deadpool replied somewhat awkwardly.
“Then can you open the mask and show me your face? Because I don’t believe that my boyfriend would have really abandoned me, I said this to him before, regardless of life or death, we will face it together!” Staring at Deadpool’s mask, Vanessa said sincerely.
In fact, after hearing Deadpool’s voice, Vanessa had determined that this was Wade Wilson, the lover she thought had died.
Hearing Vanessa’s words, Deadpool was silent and no one knew what he was thinking. Seeing that Deadpool didn’t respond, Vanessa slowly raised her hand and began to lift Deadpool’s mask.
“The face underneath this mask may not be what you think.” Wade suddenly reminded when the mask was partially lifted.
Shout!
Regardless of what Wade said, Vanessa lifted the entire mask off his face. Then, she did see a familiar face in front of her. A photo of Brad Pitt subtracted from the magazine was pasted on Wade’s disfigured face, and Wade’s eye position was deducted.
Shout!
Feeling a bit helpless, Vanessa tore off the photo in front of her again, and Wade’s disfigured face finally appeared in front of Vanessa’s eyes.
“I’m ugly and I look like a monster. Will you still love me?”
<hr><hr>
Spiderman, Iron Man, and Deadpool and his girlfriend Vanessa are still waiting for Iceman to return. However, what these people did not notice was that there were two more people standing in the corner on the platform and it turned out to be the sorcerors Rick and David.
“David, it seems they didn’t realize it was us.” Silently watching the reactions of the others, Rick said to David beside him. At this point, the two sorcerers and Tony did not seem to be in the same world. They were watching from the Mirror Dimension, otherwise, either J.A.R.V.I.S or Peter would have detected that two people were hidden in such a close position.
“Well, although these people are good. But not much is known about us and not even Iron Man, Tony Stark knows much about us even if we met last time.” David, who was beside him, answered with a nod
“Fortunately, we made it in time or that person would have been killed immediately.” Hearing Rick’s words, it seems that the bomb in Francis’s body wasn’t faulty, but they diffuse it with their magic.
“Well, we mush do this, after all, Ancient One had asked us to find Mirage Knight. Although I don’t know why he is looking for this Vigilante but we obviously need to help these people find him first.” Nodded, David agreed.
“Now, we have to just wait here until those two people return, I hope they find something. Otherwise, we will be starting our search from scratch.”
…
“Mr. Stark, can you really think that Professor X can help us find Mirage Knight?” Because Tony knows Peter’s ident.i.ty, Peter is closest to Iron Man here. So after Iceman left, he murmured beside Tony.
“Maybe, but … just now …” Tony didn’t seem to be paying attention to Peter and instead he was thinking about something.
“What happened just now?” Peter asked curiously looking at Tony.
“It’s nothing, I just think the changes in Francis are strange. He should have exploded with the ice cube.” Tony heard Peter’s words and answered with uncertainty.
“Didn’t the bomb fail? Hasn’t JARVIS scanned it?” Peter was even more puzzled. If the bomb inside Francis hadn’t failed, how would the people behind Francis let him get taken away Iceman?
“Well, maybe. I’m not sure, it doesn’t matter now anyway.” It seemed that he didn’t want to explain anything more to Peter, and Tony simply said.
In fact, J.A.R.V.I.S not only detected the bomb in Francis’ body, but also detected a mysterious wave afterwards. This fluctuation is what Tony has been studying recently, that is, it belongs to magic. The magic wave just now is obviously the reason why the bomb inside Francis failed. It seems that a sorcerer is also helping Mirage Knight secretly. Tony thought to himself.
Call!
Tony didn’t wait long on this platform. About ten minutes later, a s.p.a.ce door appeared again in front of them, and Iceman walked out with Blink and an unconscious Francis.
“How? Are there any clues?” Peter quickly asked when he saw Iceman.
“Hydra!” Iceman looked at Francis, who was unconscious and said coldly.
Under the powerful mental scan of Professor Charles, he finally found the part of secrets erased from Francis’ memory. It turned out that the Forces behind Francis who were conduct experiments on people and turning them into Mutants and control their minds is one of Hydra’s branches.
“Hydra !?” Peter shouted, seemingly shocked at the word spoken from Iceman’s mouth.
After the last battle at s.h.i.+ELD headquarters, there are not many people in the whole world who don’t know about Hydra now. Peter certainly knew how strong this power was, and what evil experiments it had done or was doing.
“It turned out to be Hydra. It seems that this was our mistake.” Just after Peter exclaimed, a familiar sound suddenly came from a distance.
Brus.h.!.+
Peter turned quickly and looked behind him at the familiar sound. Everyone else looked around weirdly too, except, of course, Tony. Because he already knew who it was.
“Captain America!” When he saw Steve Rogers in the background, Peter let out a cry of excitement.
It turned out that this newcomer was Steve Rogers aka Captain America, who had appeared in the eyes of the public some time ago. Because of s.h.i.+ELD and the full promotion of the US government, the image of Captain America has already set off an idol wave throughout the United States. It’s not unusual for someone like Peter, who had always admired Captain America, to get excited about seeing the real person. Even Iceman showed some emotion on his face, while Blink around him kept a cool face.
“h.e.l.lo, Spiderman.” Greeting Spiderman with a smile, Captain Rogers come over where the rest of the people were standing.
Since s.h.i.+ELD was also involved in the hunt for Mirage Knight, it was only natural that Captain Rogers knew about it. And Rogers was more nervous than anyone else about the kidnapping of Mirage Knight. Because, when he find Bucky, he would require help from Mirage Knight for Bucky to recover his previous memory.
So, after knowing that they might found a clue today, Steve came directly to see if there was anything he could do to help. However, he came over and heard Hydra’s name which means that Mirage Knight was taken by Hydra, which was beyond his expectation.
“Of course this is your mistake! Mirage Knight has already helped you out with the Hydra lurkers inside s.h.i.+ELD, and now you even let Hydra take him away! If this is not your responsibility and whose is it?” Seeing Rogers smile and say h.e.l.lo, Tony interjected.
Tony had a lot of problems with s.h.i.+ELD not completly killing Hydra after such a long time. In fact, this cannot be blamed on s.h.i.+ELD, Fury really wants to use all of his power to fight against Hydra. But after all, s.h.i.+ELD doesn’t belong to Fury and many other forces watched it. Politicians, in particular, have limited the implementation of some of s.h.i.+ELD’s decisions.
Moreover, Fury may not want to destroy Hydra any time soon. Hydra is indeed a threat, but it’s a threat that will make people realize that only s.h.i.+ELD can protect them. So Fury wants both, he wants to reduce the damage to the s.h.i.+ELD and to keep Hydra in check for a while.
“Tony, I know you are worried about Mirage Knight and I feel the same way as you. Now that it has been determined that Hydra has taken Mirage Knight, then it’s up to s.h.i.+ELD to help. We just identified a couple of suspicious Hydra sites around New York the other day, and if we go one by one, we’ll find Mirage Knight. ” Captain Rogers was not angry when he heard Tony’s sarcasm, and then said seriously.
“Then what are we waiting for? Didn’t you know that even as we speak here, Mirage Knight’s life can be in danger. A single minute we talk is the one more minute being wasted.” After hearing Captain Rogers’s words, Tony has started the ejector at the foot of his Iron suit and he is already up and running with several Iron Men Armors.
s.h.i.+ELD will, of course, send those Hydra-possible locations to Tony and he is not planning to wait for s.h.i.+ELD.
“Let’s go. There are three suspicious locations. Mirage Knight must be in one of them!” Watching Tony leave quickly, Captain Rogers looked at the others in front of him and said.
“Yes!” Peter agreed excitedly.
