The situation is now in a deadlock, with only two days left before the United Nations meeting. In yesterday's meeting, the Avengers did not make any substantive progress through discussions.
If they fail to reach a consensus and take corresponding action in these final two days, they will face increasing difficulties in light of the United Nations' pressure on the legitimacy and social role of the Avengers.
Of course, it's not just the Avengers who are caught in this dilemma, but also the Winter Soldier, Bucky.
After the meeting, Mark immediately contacted Bucky and discussed the Seoul Accords with him. Mark believed that this was the opportune moment, using the external conflicts instigated by the United Nations to also resolve the internal conflicts.
He hoped that Bucky could think of a suitable solution within these two days to address the relationship between Captain and Tony.
However, Bucky had a different perspective. He believed that the current moment was one of turmoil within the Avengers. He thought it would be better to wait until the external situation stabilized before attempting to address the issues his presence might provoke.
Otherwise, the combination of both internal and external pressures could push the Avengers into an even more challenging situation.
The problems the Avengers currently face are indeed severe, especially in the eyes of someone like Mark, who knows the future storyline. Even if he can prevent the outbreak of civil war, it's still difficult to solve the various problems arising from changes in the external situation.
No matter how wealthy the Stark family is, and no matter how powerful the Avengers are, when faced with an international organization formed by multiple sovereign nations like the United Nations, their means and methods remain severely limited.
Faced with the current dilemma, Mark even entertained some crazy ideas. Since there are significant external conflicts now, why not create other events to divert the United Nations' attention? This could buy the Avengers more time to devise a solution.
However, Mark quickly dismissed this wild idea. Such an approach would not only cause harm to innocent people but also plant seeds of internal conflict within the Avengers. Even if the current issue is resolved smoothly, it would lead to more significant conflicts in the future.
The crisis triggered at that time could result in a more deadly internal crisis of trust than the current external changes.
"Baymax, do you have any good suggestions? As an evolved artificial intelligence, you should be able to understand the challenges we are currently facing."
After pondering the deadlock, Mark suddenly turned to Baymax, hoping that Baymax could provide a satisfactory answer to his troubling dilemma.
Compared to humans, Baymax, as an evolved artificial intelligence, could approach a problem from a more objective and rational standpoint, focusing on the core issues and key solutions.
Baymax's powerful computing capabilities enabled him to sift through countless approaches and identify the one solution that maximized overall benefits. Furthermore, his development as a sentient being allowed him to consider not only interests but also emotional connections between individuals when evaluating a situation.
"Master, in my view, the conflict between the United Nations and the Avengers regarding the 'Seoul Accords' is rather simple. On one hand, the 117 signatory nations of the United Nations believe that the unregulated actions of the Avengers have encroached upon their sovereignty and security.
On the other hand, the notion of 'With great power comes great responsibility' has led the Avengers to believe that they have both the capability and the duty to resolve all crises that arise in the world, even though not all crises necessarily require their intervention.
The signing of the 'Seoul Accords' can assist in alleviating the task burden on the Avengers through a special oversight group within the United Nations. A robust supervisory mechanism would provide nations and citizens with increased security and trust.
The old master likely recognized this, which is why he, a person who cherishes freedom and detestes constraints, agreed to sign the Accords.
However, considering the inherent political nature of the United Nations, I recommend that prior to signing the Accords, the Avengers also be granted a certain decision-making authority for verifying and reviewing mission content within the Accords. Additionally, individual Avengers members should have the right to refuse orders for tasks they find unacceptable.
If negotiations could enhance these key points within the Accords, then even after signing, it wouldn't be an unacceptable outcome.
This solution is the result of analyzing various circumstances and data, offering the most favorable and achievable course of action for you in the short term, Master."
Baymax presented a meticulously calculated solution, one with the highest likelihood of success and minimal losses. Whether viewed from an emotional or rational perspective, this was an almost perfect resolution.
However, as Baymax described, the trio of Captain, Falcon, and Scarlet Witch, who stood in the opposing camp, were deeply entrenched in the mindset of "With great power comes great responsibility."
Sam, as a retired soldier, had promptly answered Captain's call and joined the fight against Hydra, even in a disadvantaged situation. Now he had joined the Avengers, undergoing rigorous training without complaint. His actions revealed his personal willpower and character.
Scarlet Witch Wanda, as one of the most powerful forces among the Avengers, demonstrated a more mature demeanor in front of her brother, Quicksilver. Throughout the series of crises in Seoul, she consistently exhibited a willingness to charge into danger, displaying a clear understanding of her own abilities.
And the especially concerning Captain, his current formidable physical prowess was hard-earned, particularly due to the enhancement brought about by the Super Soldier Serum. This amplification intensified his already strong sense of justice and responsibility.
Under these circumstances, persuading Captain and the others to sign above the "Seoul Accords" wasn't an easy task. The best approach to get them to sign the Accords was for Mark to convince Captain to change his perspective.
This would lead Sam and Wanda to also alter their viewpoints alongside Captain.
However, convincing Captain to agree to sign the "Seoul Accords" – "The solution lies in Winter Soldier Bucky…"
Mark sighed in frustration, realizing he was back to his initial dilemma. Solving Bucky's issue seemed even more vexing for Mark than the current problems facing the Avengers.
"Perhaps I should discuss this matter with Captain first, resolve the current issues stemming from the 'Seoul Accords,' and then decide how to reveal the truth to Dad.
Breaking down a problem into its components and tackling them one by one might make things smoother."
Mark wasn't sure if his idea was correct, but time waits for no one. He had to take action first and consider the potential consequences later.
Ding dong, ding dong—
Mark arrived at Captain's room and pressed the doorbell. The door was quickly opened, and Captain looked at Mark's arrival without asking for the reason. He simply stepped aside, gesturing for Mark to enter.
As far as Captain was concerned, Mark's visit was most likely about continuing their discussion from yesterday regarding the thorny issue of how to handle the revelations brought about by the "Seoul Accords," a discussion that had proven difficult to unify.
However, Captain would never have anticipated that Mark's visit was about to deliver a massive surprise to him.
Facing the space Captain had opened up, Mark shook his head and didn't enter the room. "Discussing this matter here won't yield the best results, Captain. You need to come with me for this."
Mark's unexpected response made Captain unable to contain his curiosity any longer. "What? Weren't you here to discuss the issues with the 'Seoul Accords'?"
"I'm here to bring you some good news, but at the same time, it's also a big trouble. Perhaps even bigger than the trouble caused by the 'Seoul Accords.' Well, Captain, you'll know once you come with me."
Mark didn't say directly, and Captain didn't press further. Based on his trust in Mark, Captain nodded, "Alright, wait for me to change into my combat suit and gear. I'll be ready to leave with you shortly."
"Wait!" Mark stopped Captain. "The trouble I mentioned isn't the kind that requires physical action."
Now Captain was even more puzzled. One moment it was a surprise, and the next moment it was a big trouble, yet without the need for physical action...
Despite growing confusion, Captain still followed behind Mark. After setting the coordinates on the spatial portal, they arrived together in Los Angeles, the City of Angel.
Mark didn't open a spatial portal directly to the old lab, as it would be inconvenient to reveal his magic to Captain. So, after driving for half an hour, they reached their destination.
Regarding bringing Captain here to meet with Winter Soldier Bucky, Mark not only concealed the truth from Captain but also didn't inform Bucky about Captain's arrival. He believed that this surprise would be enormous for both parties...
