Chapter 434 Opposition
Steve Rogers brought an electronic watch and pressed the button on his wrist according to Tony's instructions. The laser output emitted a hard projection, and the light formed a massed entity, which transformed into a classic shape with a shield coated with a star pattern.
As everyone knows, Captain America's side, as he fought for many years, the indestructible Jin Shield finally died in the battle with the Orochi. The Orochi, who was carrying divine power, shook the shield into pieces with his bare hands and completely destroyed it.
The birth of this vibrating shield is a coincidence. It is actually not made entirely by vibrating gold, but is made up of vibrating gold and some other substances mixed with unknown elements. Even the doctor who originally created this legendary shield for him could not copy that process, so the captain's shield is truly a unique artifact in this world. No one can copy it or repair it - at least with Iron Man's technology, it cannot be done.
However, Tony promised to find a solution. He believed that repairing the shield was not impossible, but he had not yet found the right way. The hard light technology used by Dr. Light has been mastered by Tony, so before repairing the shield, he specially created this watch for the captain. It can be activated anytime and anywhere, and the shield built by releasing hard light from the wearer's wrist is exactly the same as the one used by the captain. Although the defense of this shield cannot be compared with the real vibrator, it is also quite good. Moreover, its advantage lies in its ability to recover itself. Because it is hard light rather than actual material, it can recover instantly no matter what kind of damage it is.
"It's lighter and easier to carry, and can be expanded and put in at any time." Tony proudly introduced the captain, "It's not that I brag, but it's really excellent."
The captain tried to unfold the shield, put it on his hand and waved it, and then put it away again.
"Thank you, Tony."
Although he said that, he obviously still felt that his old shield was better, but because Tony didn't say it out.
But even if he doesn't say it, how could Tony not know his inner thoughts? Tony curled his lips and said a little displeased: "Actually, if you use it for a long time, you will find that in some cases it is better than your old guy... But of course, I will continue to find ways to repair your shield, I promise."
Rogers smiled: "I know."
"So now, it's almost time to talk about the serious business."
Tony paused when he said this, and the atmosphere between the two became slightly awkward.
Yes, in good business, they all know what that refers to.
Tony crossed his fingers, stared at the bright floor for a moment, and said, "That bill... will be officially launched tomorrow."
Rogers said nothing.
The Superhero Registration Act, before this series of events occurred, became the biggest gap between the two - even within the Avengers -. But before that, the Haisha led a large army to invade the land, and then the Big Snake wanted to destroy everything, so the bill was repeatedly stranded until now.
Now that the external crisis has temporarily subsided, the matter of the bill has been put on the agenda.
"Today is the last chance." Tony leaned forward and said, "You have to think clearly, Steve. The rest of the team, those who refuse to sign, will follow in your footsteps. If you choose to compromise, everyone else will agree."
"I said, Tony, this is a matter of principle." Rogers shook his head stubbornly, "Signing the agreement means we gave up the original intention of the Avengers and the reason for each of us to wear uniforms in the first place. Think about Tony, why did you announce the closure of the weapon manufacturer at the beginning? Why did you create Iron Man? And why did you insist on refusing to allow the government to obtain Iron Man technology?"
"The situation is different, captain." Tony said, "I thought that my own strength would be enough to achieve world peace, but I was wrong. There were many things that even Iron Man could do. Later, with the Avengers, I thought that the Earth finally got the best shield this time, but I was wrong again. The sinisterness of this world is beyond our imagination, and there are more things that even the Avengers are difficult to deal with."
"But the Avengers did its job well," the captain argued, "the current pattern works."
"It's not effective enough. Look at that team, 'Sky Sword'. A giant hidden between us and live in the world, but we know nothing." Tony was excited, "Look at what they did, and what we did. That is the form of the Avengers who should transform—a team that can appear in time where they should appear, with extremely high action and a complete and unified command system, dedicated to dealing with extraordinary categories of events."
"You are saying that the Avengers should be affiliated with the Aegis." Rogers said lightly, "You are making us all become registered agents, going to you, working for the government. Have you ever thought about what the Avengers have to give up for this?"
"I will deal with it and get enough space for us," Tony said firmly. "It's precisely for this reason that I've gotten into this position."
"That's not your final decision. Trust me, Tony, although I never get involved in politics, I understand the politician's trick. When you are caught in that vortex, many things are not something you can control yourself. I believe your starting point is good, but you have to know that once you also involve the Avengers in that complex field, both you and us will lose the power to make decisions."
"That's what it seems we can't reach a consensus."
Tony sighed softly. He was disappointed, but he couldn't say how unexpected it was. If he was convinced just by just a few words, then this person was not Captain America.
But he still has to give it a try. If things really develop in the future that neither side wants to see, at least he can tell himself that he has worked hard.
"Okay, I have to... go back." Tony got up from the sofa and rubbed his nose. "There is still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with on the mothership, you know. Especially these days, there is no time to have a leisure time."
"I see."
The captain also stood up and sent him all the way to the lawn outside the Avengers headquarters. He watched Tony call out the armor parts and quickly dressed. Until Tony was about to light the fire, he finally said, "I'm sorry, Tony. But this matter has nothing to do with you and me."
Tony glanced at him.
"I see."
Without saying anything, Iron Man jumped up and turned into a meteor under the sky and disappeared.
Rogers looked at his far away back and sighed.
This is the case in this world, and sometimes reality is that it will not make everyone as they wish. It will force everyone to make their own choices, either compromise with life or fight to death.
But Rogers remembers someone told him something very important.
There are always some things that are worth persisting even if the whole world tells you that it is wrong.
