The sun is shining brightly.
On the Roosevelt Island Bridge, accompanied by the roar of the engine, a silver figure flew through the traffic.
It was a silver Audi R8 sports car. Tony Stark was holding the steering wheel with one hand. He was wearing a casual suit, a floral tie on his chest, and sunglasses on his face. He looked handsome and coquettish.
A week has passed since the disaster. The second-generation Ark reactor that was stolen from him was successfully returned to its original owner. The Stark World Expo, which was supposed to last for a year, was also forced to close early.
He finally officially confirmed his relationship with Little Pepper. To be honest, after being a playboy for so many years, he now discovered that the female secretary who had been silently by his side was his true love.
He came to Washington today to meet Nick Fury at SHIELD headquarters.
Buzz——
Tony stepped on the accelerator hard, and the Audi R8 suddenly accelerated, turning into a silver afterimage and heading towards a small island not far away.
A huge and majestic building came into view, looking like a giant watching the world in the sun. There is an eagle logo on the outer wall of the building, which is the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. - the Tri-Curve Wing.
In the square in front of the Tri-wing Building, the silver Audi R8 slowly stopped. Tony stepped out of the car while buttoning up the bottom of his suit.
"Look, it's Tony Stark!"
"Why is Iron Man here?"
Tony's arrival caused quite a stir, and the surrounding SHIELD agents and staff looked at him in surprise.
"Mr. Stark."
At this moment, Colson, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up to Tony and said helplessly: "The time we agreed on is nine o'clock in the morning, and you are already more than an hour late."
"Huh, late? The word 'on time' doesn't exist in my dictionary."
Tony curled his lips in disapproval and took off the sunglasses on his face, "It's the first time I come to your SHIELD headquarters. Shouldn't it be Nick Fury who comes to pick me up in person? Why are you the only one?"
"Director Fury doesn't like people being late." Coulson looked helpless, "Let's go quickly."
Coulson led Tony all the way deeper into the Tri-Wing headquarters until he came to a door with a sign saying "Conference Room".
"Director Fury is waiting for you inside."
Colson pushed open the door, and Tony stepped into the conference room. The room seemed empty, and the surrounding light was very dark, with only a lamp placed on the table emitting a faint light.
There are two document bags next to the desk lamp, one with "Avengers Project" written on it, and the other with "Tony Stark's Personal Files" written on it.
Tony looked at the files of the Avengers Project curiously. Just when he was about to reach out and get it, a deep voice suddenly sounded in the empty conference room.
"Stark, you are such a busy man."
Tony was startled, and his outstretched hand retracted reflexively.
The face of a one-eyed black man gradually emerged in the darkness, it was Nick Fury.
Nick Fury's face was gloomy. He had been waiting here for Tony for almost an hour, and he felt a little unhappy.
"I have said many times that I am not interested in your super boy band."
Tony's mood relaxed a little, and he said seemingly casually: "However, if you insist on asking me to be the captain of the Avengers, I can't force it into consideration."
"It's a pity that you're late."
Nick Fury shook his head slightly, "The leader of the Avengers has been chosen."
"Oh? Who is it?" Tony's eyes widened and he asked curiously.
To be fair, he didn't care about the Avengers. But now that he heard that the team leader had been chosen, an inexplicable desire to win arose in his heart.
It was obviously Nick Fury who came to him first, so he should be the leader of the Avengers!
Nick Fury did not answer him, but looked up with his one eye.
Tony slowly raised his head and saw a figure hanging upside down from the ceiling above his head.
"I told you before, he is not a punctual person."
The figure fell from the sky and landed in front of Tony.
"Leon?!"
Tony looked surprised, "When did you hide there?"
Leon smiled. In fact, he had just arrived. It's not like Nick Fury waited so long. He had already expected that Tony would not be punctual, so he deliberately came an hour late.
"You should take a look at this first, Agent Romanoff's comprehensive assessment of you." Nick Fury handed Tony another personal file about Tony.
"Severe self-destructive tendencies? Typical narcissist..."
Tony opened the file bag and frowned when he saw the information inside, "Please, I was almost dead at that time."
"Keep reading below, where you'll find Agent Romanoff's final assessment of you."
"Avengers recruitment. Iron Man is qualified."
Seeing this, Tony still showed a smile, but when he saw the back, his smile froze on his face, "Tony Stark, unqualified?"
"What do you mean?" Tony asked angrily.
"Then why can this guy be the team leader?" Tony rolled his eyes at Leon and looked at Nick Fury unyieldingly and questioned.
"What, do you think you can beat him?" Nick Fury stared at Tony with his one eye.
Tony: "..."
It was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it.
Leon Adams is still a mysterious man to him.
This man can not only summon powerful monsters, but also transform into different forms, and he even has some black technology props.
Especially the semi-mechanized dragon with wings on its back shocked him deeply. He didn't think that his steel armor could defeat that war beast.
"Leon."
Thinking of this, Tony's eyes became serious, "You are hiding something from me, right? The mechanical warrior transformed by Justin Hammer, the masked monster transformed by Yin Fanwanke... What is all this going on?"
After hearing Tony's words, Leon and Nick Fury looked at each other, and the latter said seriously: "This is the top secret of our SHIELD. Only the top executives of SHIELD and members of the Avengers are qualified to know. the truth."
Come on, it turned out to be waiting for him here.
"enough."
Tony understood that he had been tricked, and he said angrily: "I'll join, it's okay if I join!"
Next, Leon began to tell Tony the story about Falui Island. It was pretty much the same as what he told Coulson and Nick Fury, but this time he added some details.
The expression on Tony's face was still blank at first, but when he heard about the invasion of dark forces later, he understood the seriousness of the matter.
"It seems that in order to deal with future crises, we should indeed form an organization to fight against powerful enemies."
Tony touched his chin and said in confusion: "But why is this organization called the Avengers? It sounds like someone will die and we want to avenge him."
emmm…
The corner of Leon's mouth twitched secretly, thinking that this was indeed the case. And this unlucky person is Phil Coulson.
After all, every time the Avengers are formed, an Agent Coulson is sacrificed.
"Can't we call it the Prevention League?" Tony suggested.
"Actually, we can call it the Justice League." Leon couldn't help the bad taste in his heart and said deliberately.
"..."
Tony was silent for a moment, then clapped his hands violently, "Justice League? I think this is a good name!"
"The Avengers plan was established many years ago." Nick Fury said with a serious expression, "The name cannot be changed."
"Tch, that's really stingy."
Tony rolled his eyes calmly, and then the expression on his face became serious, "By the way, since this guy Leon is the leader of the Avengers, what is my position? I should be a deputy leader, right?" .”
"I'm sorry." Nick Fury said with a straight face: "Due to your current performance, you can only be his secretary for the time being."
Tony: "???"
Tony came happily, but left angrily. The meeting ended on bad terms.
"Leon, are we being too harsh on him?" Nick Fury asked worriedly.
"don’t worry."
A smile appeared on Leon's lips, "One day, he will join us."
Leon walked out of the Tri-Wing Building and was about to leave SHIELD's headquarters, when Coulson caught up from behind.
"Go back, there's no need to send it away."
"No, I'm here to say goodbye."
Colson said in a sincere tone: "I have been transferred. I will go to New Mexico tomorrow to deal with some things. If you have any needs in the future, you can tell the director in person."
New Mexico...
Hearing this place, Leon raised his eyebrows slightly.
Of course he knew what Coulson was going to New Mexico for, Thor's Mjolnir!
The timeline of this world seems to be slightly later than in the movie, but what is supposed to come will always come.
After the end of Iron Man 2, the plot of Thor 1 is about to begin. Thor, one of the Big Three Avengers, is also about to make his official debut!
"Colson, how did you handle that matter?" Leon asked aloud.
"It's still in progress. I'll let you know when there's news."
"Our enemy is still hiding in the dark. It is its arrival that allows the power of darkness to continue to invade this world. We must find it as soon as possible."
Leon said in a deep voice, the little devil beast finally surfaced, it had been making trouble behind the scenes. But last time he didn't have the chance to catch the other party and let it escape.
"It must have its own adapter. If we find that adapter, we should be able to find it." Coulson replied.
"I think……"
Leon deliberately lowered his voice, "That adapter can secretly build the Dark Portal underground under the Stark World Expo. This is not something ordinary people can do. Maybe he is an important member of the relevant department."
】
"did you mean--"
Coulson's voice became louder due to surprise, "Is he someone from SHIELD?!"
"Shhh. Be careful the walls have ears."
Leon quickly made a silence gesture, looked around, and then carefully warned: ""No matter what, once you find the trace, you must notify me immediately. Don't go near it without authorization, you will be in danger! "
"Okay, I understand." Colson nodded seriously.
At the same time, the top floor of the three-wing building.
A middle-aged man in a gray suit was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out the window coldly.
Alexander Pierce looked at the backs of the two people in the square, and the holes in his eyes gradually turned into a strange golden color!
