It has been nearly three months since Leon left the earth from the moment he left the party.

During these three months, no major events such as "alien invasion" or "super villain making trouble" occurred on the earth, which can be described as peaceful.

Even the Avengers, which has been established for nearly half a year, spend more time at the headquarters and hold parties instead of saving the world everywhere.

After all, apart from the great crisis that endangers the city or the world, there is no turn for the Avengers to intervene...

However, this does not mean that with the Avengers superhero team, the entire world has become safer.

on the contrary!

Since Tony Stark announced that he is Iron Man, the number of publicly-identified superpowers around the world has begun to grow exponentially.

In the same period, the events that are likely to destroy the world are also increasing in the same proportion.

Among the superpowers, there are not only good people who call themselves superheroes, but also bad people who have various ambitions and want to rule the world and even destroy the earth.

Perhaps, in some corners of the world, an evil plan to destroy the world is brewing, but the Avengers are unaware of it...

. . . . . .

The closer it is to Christmas, the more it represents that 2009, which is plagued by disasters, will soon be swept into the dust of history.

The restoring Manhattan, as well as various reports on the news and the Internet, remind people in New York and the entire world of one thing, that is:

This world is no longer the one they are familiar with...

Especially the tall and majestic Avengers Building next to New York’s Grand Central Station is like a striking logo, announcing to the world that there are only superheroes in fantasy works such as movies, novels, comics, and so on. Between me!

Moreover, it is not much different from ordinary people...

"Damn it! Just a little bit!"

A slightly annoying voice suddenly sounded in the lobby at the top of the Avengers Building!

In the huge living room, sitting around the coffee table are five avengers besides Lyon and Thor.

Stark, Steve, Clint, Natasha and Banner.

Judging from the casual clothes of a few people and the poker scattered on the table, this is obviously not an Avengers combat meeting, but more like a small gathering of friends.

The words just now came out of the mouth of "Eagle Eye" Clint.

And sitting directly across from him is Stark with Erlang's legs crossed...

The two are playing a poker game called "neurasthenia".

The gameplay is very simple. Spread a deck of cards face down, flip two cards each time, (the same number is a pair), if it is not a pair, cover it back, if it is a pair, pick it out and place it in Aside. Until all the cards are matched, the game is over.

In this game, it is natural to see who matches with more cards, even if it wins.

Generally speaking, there are 26 pairs of 52 cards. As long as whoever gets more than half of the 14 pairs first, whoever is the ultimate winner.

And just now, Stark just drew the key pair of "A"s. Clint took a step ahead and got the 14th pair of victory!

This is why Clint looked unwilling...

With the pair of "A"s in between, Stark looked triumphantly, "Hehehe, it seems that my memory is still better than you..."

While speaking, he also nodded his head with his finger, as if mocking Hawkeye.

"Huh, let's have another game!"

Clint, who refused to admit defeat, curled his lips and immediately proposed.

Hearing that, Stark couldn't help spreading his hands, shrugging his shoulders, looking indifferent, "Come on, anyone who is afraid of..."

Taking advantage of the gap between Clint's reshuffle, Stark couldn't help but cast his eyes on the American team sitting on the side of the sofa.

Compared with Banner and Natasha who were chatting on the sidelines, Steve, who was alone, was even more eye-catching.

Steve with a tight T-shirt on his upper body, holding a tablet, is looking at the screen intently.

This undoubtedly aroused Stark's strong interest.

Stark rolled his eyes, as if thinking of something, he slammed his hands, jumped up from the sofa, and suddenly moved to Steve's side:

"Hey! Captain, what are you looking at?"

Facing Stark's doubts, Steve just replied indifferently: "News."

While speaking, he raised the voice of the tablet a little so that Stark beside him could also hear it.

"...According to the data released by the New York Police Department to the outside world not long ago, the crime rate in New York has dropped by 7% from last year. The lowest year! Experts point out that this is largely due to the existence of the Avengers..."

"On the other hand, what is worrying is that there are more and more volunteers on the streets wearing various masks who spontaneously maintain law and order. Next, let us go to the press conference and listen to the New York Police Department. Director George Stacey’s opinion..."

On the tablet, with a turn of the lens ~lightnovelpub.net~ the screen came to the scene of a press conference.

An old acquaintance in Lyon, New York Police Chief George Stacey, dressed in a neat police uniform, stood behind the speaking platform and was telling the public and reporters about the interference of volunteers with police work in the past few months.

"...The reason why the police wear the police badge is to defend law and order. These masked people are not righteous policemen, but people who are idle and bored trying to disrupt order. I hope these so-called righteous policemen, You can leave those jobs that belong to the police to us..."

"Not everyone is an avenger..."

After watching the entire press conference, put the tablet on the coffee table, Steve couldn't help looking around, frowning, and asked in a deep voice:

"Have we set a bad example?"

The people who had been attracted by the news reports on the tablet all looked at Steve and didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, Stark, who was sitting on the side, stretched out his hand and patted Steve's shoulder, his tone was relaxed, "Hey! Man, take it easy! I think this is a good thing..."

"You see, since our establishment, the crime rate in New York has dropped so much, that's the fact!"

"This shows that this world needs us."

Stark's words are straightforward and rude, but they are very reasonable.

The only woman present, Natasha also echoed:

"Steve, we are not gods. The thoughts and behaviors of other people are beyond our control. We can only do our best to do our part, nothing more..."

The persuasion of the companions had some effect on Steve.

Steve, who stretched his brows slightly, couldn't help pursing his lips. Just when he was about to speak, suddenly, a loud "Boom!" came from the sky, interrupting him!
