The headband adopted a fashionable color design and a skin-friendly surface material, and everyone didn't resist much, so they calmly put it on.
Of course, Fury was an exception, not because he didn't have hair—absolutely not! It was because of the custom-made synthetic eye he was currently wearing, which was created by Mark at a high cost. He just needed to take it off and modify the corresponding parameters.
After everyone had the headbands on, they clearly noticed that the restless fire in their hearts inexplicably extinguished. More importantly, they realized that the staff was indeed Loki's contingency plan to destroy the unity among the Avengers and induce Dr. Banner's transformation.
But before they could rejoice over this revelation, a missile suddenly penetrated the glass from outside and entered the laboratory.
Seeing that the missile was about to explode among them, Tony wasn't wearing his Iron Man armor, Steve didn't have his vibranium shield and electromagnetic levitation disc, and even Thor didn't have his hammer in hand.
In addition, there was the uncontrollable Hulk, Natasha and Fury, who were ordinary humans. If the missile exploded here, the risk would be enormous.
At this moment, Mark swiftly rushed out and bravely stood in front of everyone.
His speed was so fast that even Captain America couldn't intercept him in time. By the time Tony noticed and widened his eyes to look, the missile was already in front of Mark.
"Mark!" Just when Steve thought Mark would be killed in the unstoppable attack of the missile, what happened next was truly incredible and left everyone shocked, their eyes wide open in astonishment.
In front of Mark, a cluster of small particles that seemed like black smoke suddenly appeared. Despite its seemingly loose structure, it completely intercepted the Hydra missile that was flying towards them.
When all the kinetic energy of the missile had been depleted, the missile controlled by the black smoke was hovering in mid-air. Gradually, it was engulfed by the black smoke and turned into a handful of oxidized metal powder, falling onto the laboratory floor.
Crisis averted, both Tony and Fury breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that Mark had countless means to protect himself, and although the scene just now was bizarre, it was still acceptable.
But for Natasha, Steve, Banner, and Thor, it seemed a bit fantastical. You actually have a magical artifact that can automatically protect you? We're not in the realm of gods but in the Marvel Universe!
However, no matter how surprised everyone was, the situation was urgent now, and there was no time for further explanations. Faced with the enemy's attack, they had to counterattack.
At that moment, a section of the ship's hull not far from the laboratory also suffered a missile attack. However, this time luck wasn't on their side. Without Mark's direct confrontation, the Helicarrier had to endure the onslaught from the outside on its own.
"Hill, what's the situation?" Fury contacted through the exquisite S.H.I.E.L.D. emblem on his chest.
"The Helicarrier is under external attack. Agent Barton is piloting the aircraft.
The main structure of the Helicarrier has suffered slight damage, and the reflector panels have completely failed. Our Helicarrier is fully exposed. The flight system is fine, although a few engines are damaged, it doesn't affect normal flight."
Upon hearing Hill's report, Fury had only one thought - the deal he made with Mark back then was truly worth it!
You see, if the design of the Helicarrier at this moment had used the previous turbo engine design, it might have lost power and plummeted by now.
"Tony, quickly suit up, Captain, grab your shield, cooperate with the agents on board, and eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible.
Agent Romanoff, you go deal with Agent Barton. You decide what to do!
Thor and Mark, you stay behind to take care of Dr. Banner. Don't let the other angry guy have a chance to appear."
"Understood!" At this critical moment, everyone was united and didn't question Fury's orders.
"Don't worry. Since I put on this modified headband by Mark, my mind has entered an unprecedented state of tranquility. Even after experiencing such a crisis just now, there's not a ripple in my heart. I don't think Hulk will have a chance to make an appearance." Dr. Banner calmly smiled with an expression as if he had entered a sage-like state.
"Be careful." Fury left these words for Banner and then turned and left. His presence was needed in the bridge at this time to reassure everyone.
The team split into several groups and quickly took action.
Tony, with the help of the Mark-boosted weaponry, effortlessly dealt with the enemy soldiers.
With the assistance of his electromagnetic levitation disk armor, Steve swiftly maneuvered among the enemies at high speed. When the surveillance cameras played back the footage in slow motion, you could see that Steve always swiftly incapacitated the enemy with a single strike before moving on to the next one. His movements were agile and elegant.
Thor and Mark had a much easier task. With Dr. Banner in his sage-like state, the laboratory's doors were tightly closed, and there were no signs of enemy intrusion. It was safe to say there was no danger.
However, for Thor, it was a bit agonizing since he could only wait and couldn't contribute much. That wasn't his style.
"Mark, there's not much danger here. I'm worried that this surprise attack might allow Loki to escape. I'll go check it out!"
After saying that, without waiting for Mark's response, Thor left behind Banner, who was already wearing a wise smile, and a displeased-looking Mark. Thor went alone with his hammer to the prison area.
"Big brother, are you heading down the same path of being tricked to death by Loki? I don't know if you can escape after the high-strength glass has been replaced with an energy shield."
