"Wanda, I'm your neighbor," Monica Rambeau said.
"Then how do you know about Ultron?" Wanda Maximoff asked.
Monica Rambeau was speechless.
"You're not my neighbor, and you're certainly not my friend. You're a stranger, an outsider. And now, you've intruded here, and I want you to leave." Wanda Maximoff released a scarlet burst of energy that hit Monica Rambeau. The latter crashed through the wall and flew out of the room, breaking through the transparent barrier.
The space darkened, and the video ended.
"I still want to know whether everything in Westview is real or an illusion," Thor said. "If it's real, Wanda revived Vision. Is that even possible?"
"It's not possible," Wanda Maximoff shook her head. "Reviving a person might be something other big shots can do, but I'm certain I can't."
"Strictly speaking, Vision isn't even a person, but a highly advanced robot," Clint Barton said. "You can't revive a human with a soul, and you can't revive a soulless robot?"
"That sounds even more impossible for me. I'm not skilled with high-tech stuff like robots," Wanda Maximoff said. "It's the same for Tony."
"But if it wasn't you, would someone else revive Vision?" Steve Rogers asked.
"I don't know," Wanda Maximoff shook her head. "Indeed, in terms of motivation, only I would do something like reviving Vision, but my abilities are insufficient. I have no idea how to revive a person, especially a high-tech robot, especially one with a Mind Stone."
"I think what's even more bizarre is what Vision did after he was revived," Tony Stark said. "Instead of doing anything else, he kidnapped a small town and had everyone act in a sitcom together? What's going on here?"
"Yeah, it's really strange," Clint Barton said. "We know Wanda likes sitcoms, and I like some movies too, but even if I really like something, I wouldn't think of going to act in it, let alone kidnapping a whole town to act with me."
"Is it really that hard to understand?" Natasha Romanoff glanced at everyone and said, "It's actually quite understandable."
"Understandable?" Clint Barton said. "Natasha, do tell us why Wanda did this."
"It's simple. She's daydreaming," Natasha Romanoff said.
"Daydreaming?"
"Yes, daydreaming," Natasha Romanoff said, "Some of you are single, some have been in love, and maybe some have experienced deeply emotional relationships, but you're not women. You won't understand how women treat a profoundly emotional relationship. But I think you might have seen those movies where a girl loves a guy deeply, but that guy dies tragically in an accident. The girl can't move on, can't accept the fact that he's gone, and she lives in a dream where he's still with her."
"I get what you're saying," Bruce Banner said. "Other girls, even if they're heartbroken, can only daydream. When they wake up, nothing's real. But Wanda is different; she's an incredibly powerful superhero, and her abilities make her dreams come true. Westview is just the setting for Wanda's dream."
"That's a stretch, isn't it?" Loki frowned. "According to this logic, Wanda achieved all of this unintentionally? Well, let's just say this logic makes sense. If it's difficult to control ordinary townspeople, what about Vision? Wanda herself said she doesn't have the power to revive him, yet you're saying she unintentionally resurrected him?"
"Or it's not a resurrection but rather someone else taking the place of Vision?"
"If Wanda's feelings for Vision are really that deep, why would she let someone else replace him?"
[Question 8 begins. Who assisted Baron Zemo in his escape?]
[A Vulture, Adrian Toomes]
[B Mysterious Stranger, Quentin Beck]
[C Falcon, Sam Wilson]
[D Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes]
[Correct answer rewards "Paralysis Spell." Incorrect answer deducts one year of lifespan.]
"What? That despicable Zemo escaped?" Bucky Barnes was indignant just by reading the question. "He framed and set me up, incited the Avengers' civil war, and now he's escaped?"
"Calm down, soldier. This future has been rewritten," Nick Fury said. "No one can frame you again, and the Civil War won't happen."
"But that doesn't change the fact that Zemo is the kind of person who stops at nothing to achieve his goals," Bucky Barnes said.
"Although he's a villain, Zemo single-handedly manipulated the entire Avengers," Tony Stark said, "I have to admit he's quite capable."
"An ordinary person fooled a bunch of superheroes, and he succeeded," Steve Rogers also chimed in, "I don't like Zemo either, but I have to admit he's highly capable."
"This question actually includes two superheroes?" Scott Lang pointed at the last two options and said, "Are these two options serious? Superheroes helping Zemo escape?"
"Especially with Bucky in the options. Zemo framed Bucky, and Bucky would help him?" James Rhodes said.
"I definitely wouldn't help him with anything," Bucky Barnes said.
"Me neither," Sam Wilson said. "If it was helping a righteous person escape, maybe there's a chance, but helping someone like Zemo? No way."
"I think you guys are too certain," Bruce Banner said. "Under normal circumstances, no one would help Zemo escape, but what if something really happened that forced you to need Zemo's help? Like in some movies, due to certain cases, they had to release a heinous murderer from prison?"
"Bruce, I've thought about that too," Sam Wilson said, "But I think the likelihood of that is very low. Remember, Zemo is just an ordinary person. If there's something I can't solve and need help with, would Zemo really be the solution?"
"That's true. Compared to options C and D, options A and B are more reasonable. Villains helping villains, that's more like it," Thor said.
"We've already seen Vulture and Mysterio," Stephen Strange said, "Between these two, I think Mysterio is the better choice."
"I agree, let's go with Mysterio," Thor said, "Vulture is just a high-tech arms dealer, he doesn't have much ambition. He's unlikely to have a motive to help Zemo escape. And throughout the video, until he's defeated by Peter, we never see him with Zemo."
"Mysterio is different. He's more ambitious than Vulture, aspiring to be Earth's greatest superhero. Zemo, being the person he is, could help him with that," Phil Coulson said.
"I'm also voting for Mysterio," Steve Rogers said.
After discussing for a bit, they decided to let Sam Wilson, the next-generation Captain America, answer the question in the future, and Sam Wilson agreed without hesitation.
"I choose B!" Sam Wilson made his choice.
[Answer incorrect! Deduct one year of lifespan!]
"It's not Mysterio?" Sam Wilson felt quite surprised, "Vulture doesn't seem possible at all. He's not ambitious, doesn't have the motive to help Zemo, and in the video, we never see Zemo alongside him."
"Maybe it wasn't shown," Clint Barton said, "Those future scenarios only present key scenes and don't necessarily show all the 'plotlines.' Maybe the part about Vulture helping Zemo escape is in one of those 'hidden plotlines' that weren't shown."
Not long after, the video started playing.
First up were Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, walking down a corridor with a prison guard.
"He's down the corridor," the prison guard said in German.
"All right, give us a moment," Bucky Barnes said, and the guard left.
"I'll go alone," Bucky Barnes told Sam Wilson.
"Why?" Sam Wilson asked.
"Because you're an Avenger. You understand his feelings about this," Bucky Barnes said.
"You're not friends who frolic together in the sun," Sam Wilson said.
"He was obsessed with Hydra, and we have something in common. Trust me," Bucky Barnes said. "I'll handle it."
Sam Wilson stood still, allowing Bucky Barnes to go ahead on his own.
But what he wouldn't have guessed was that his roguish son deceived his eagle. The reason he wanted to go alone wasn't just about the meeting; it was to help Zemo escape.
"Thirsty, rusty, seventeen..." Inside the prison, Zemo saw Bucky Barnes and started reciting those words again.
When he first heard these words, Bucky Barnes struggled, but now he was quite calm, showing no reaction.
"Those days are over," he said.
"I know," Baron Zemo said, "I just wanted to see how the new you would react to the old words."
"Bucky Barnes showed no reaction.
"Something else is here." Baron Zemo emerged from the darkness, walked up to Bucky Barnes, and looked at him. "At least when you were imprisoned, most of the time you weren't conscious."
"That period wasn't easy either," Bucky Barnes said.
"Regardless, I apologize." Baron Zemo unexpectedly apologized, "It wasn't about you. You were just a means to an essential end."
"Somebody has recreated the Super Soldier Serum." Bucky Barnes got to the point, "I need to find out who."
"Do you think this is related to Hydra?" Zemo was also surprised. "So, that's why you came to me, that's why you seem desperate. But you're lucky, I know where to start looking."
"What? Hydra again?" Seeing this, Steve Rogers suddenly felt a headache, "Enough is enough! Can't they just stay erased from history forever?"
"Captain, it might not necessarily be Hydra," Phil Coulson said, "In the video, Bucky only suspects it's related to Hydra. He hasn't concluded that it's definitely Hydra."
"But since the Super Soldier Serum has reappeared, there's still a high possibility of Hydra's involvement," Steve Rogers said.
"Unless this Hydra is entirely unrelated to the Hydra led by Alexander, otherwise there's no more Hydra," Wanda Maximoff said. "I'm certain, the Hydra led by Alexander has been completely rooted out, not a single snake left."
"Seems like we need to continue investigating, see if there are any other snakes out there," Nick Fury said with a serious expression, "In this era, I no longer believe in anything permanently disappearing."
"Compared to Hydra, I'm more concerned about the Super Soldier Serum," Tony Stark said, "Once that thing appears, chaos is sure to follow."
"We absolutely can't let the Super Soldier Serum resurface," Steve Rogers also said, "Fury, you need to stay vigilant about this too. If there are any signs, intervene immediately."
"No need to tell me that," Nick Fury said.
"But I still don't quite understand why we'd go to Zemo," Stephen Strange said, "Shouldn't Captain be more knowledgeable about Hydra than Zemo? After all, he fought against Hydra during World War II."
"Stephen makes a valid point. I do know more about Hydra than the average person, but it's not an all-encompassing knowledge," Steve Rogers said. "I'm a soldier, not a spy. Intelligence isn't my expertise."
"That Zemo, even other super soldiers like Bucky acknowledge that he knows more about Hydra than anyone else," Nick Fury said.
"What are you trying to say? Are you going to help Zemo escape?" In the footage, when Sam Wilson heard Bucky Barnes talk about the escape, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Where are we, Bucky? Are you out of your mind?"
"We have no leads, no options, nothing," Bucky Barnes said.
"But we've got one of the most dangerous people in the world locked up," Sam Wilson said.
"We also have eight super soldiers on the loose," Bucky Barnes said.
"Zemo will mess with our minds, especially yours," Sam Wilson said. "Don't mind me."
"I do mind." Bucky Barnes turned on the light. "The super soldiers are violating his every principle. Even though he's gone mad, he still has principles."
"And I've gone against his principles, Bucky, you have too." Sam Wilson still couldn't accept Zemo. "He bombed the United Nations, killed the king of Wakanda, framed you. Did you forget all that? Do you think the people of Wakanda have forgotten?"
