章 310: Chapter: 310
Avengers Tower conference room, at this moment, Captain, Tony, Mark, Hawkeye, Falcon, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch were all present.
Despite everyone gathering, the atmosphere in the conference room was unusually silent. Not long ago, they had lost another member of their team.
...
Half an hour ago, under Natasha's insistence, Captain, along with Hawkeye and Tony, managed to escape from the U-GIN Genetic Laboratory.
"How's the situation inside?" Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who had returned to the scene after safely delivering Dr. Helen to a location they deemed secure, approached them and inquired.
Having left Dr. Helen to a presumed safe spot, the siblings returned to the scene out of concern for the Avengers' situation and coincidentally encountered Captain and the two others emerging from the laboratory.
"It seems like you didn't come back to trip us up this time, for some 'mind therapy,'" Tony remarked with a slightly sarcastic tone, recalling the couple of times the siblings had played pranks on them.
"Previously, we misunderstood you and caused you a lot of trouble, leading to the current developments. We're genuinely sorry about that. However, this time we've returned with a sincere intention to assist you."
"Max's plan isn't just aimed at the Avengers. It aims to turn all of humanity on Earth into stepping stones and nourishment for its further advancement.
Regardless of any past unpleasantness, now isn't the time to dredge up old grievances. We must unite and organize against Max's plan!"
Upon hearing Tony's sarcasm, Quicksilver stepped forward first, offering apologies to the Avengers and explaining his stance.
While in most situations, he stood behind Scarlet Witch, providing her unwavering support, when faced with admitting mistakes, he, as the elder brother, stepped up first.
Seeing Quicksilver's sincerity and admission of fault, Hawkeye, who had been significantly injured due to him before, was the first to speak up, easing the tense atmosphere between the two groups. "One day you will stand up and apologize to us. You didn't anticipate this scene, did you?"
Hawkeye echoed the words Quicksilver had once spoken to him during their first clash in Sokovia. Even the initially affected party, Hawkeye, made a statement, temporarily easing the tension between the two sides.
Captain approached Quicksilver and patted his shoulder, saying, "We're not strangers anymore. You're right. The most important thing we need to do now is to stop Max from achieving its evil objectives.
It's currently controlling the energy reactor underground in the laboratory, keeping it in a continuous state of overload. Once the reactor goes out of control, the barriers we've set up will struggle to withstand the high-temperature heatwaves and powerful shockwaves from the explosion.
Since you've come to help us, I hope Pete, you can use your speed to help me evacuate the surrounding civilians.
Hawkeye, you get back to the Quinjet. In case things spiral out of control and can't be salvaged, you'll be responsible for ensuring safe evacuation at the last moment.
Wanda, your task is more dangerous. I need you to stay here and use your telekinesis to strengthen the entire barrier system. Tony, you'll stay by Wanda's side, protecting her from any interference by the mechanical duplicates.
These are your respective tasks. Any issues? If you have objections, you can opt out of the operation."
After assigning tasks to everyone, Captain made a final confirmation with the group.
Although Captain's question appeared to address everyone except himself, his gaze was directly fixed on Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Evidently, the last question was directed at them.
"I don't distrust you. It's just that this mission is highly dangerous, and both of you are still not adults.
Even if you feel afraid or think you can't bear such a heavy responsibility and pressure, it's normal. We won't blame or belittle you for it. After all, life is precious and it needs to be cherished.
But if you decide to accept the tasks I've assigned, you must be prepared to fulfill them, even at the cost of sacrificing your lives."
Captain didn't conceal his thoughts from the twins either, addressing them directly. If they were scared, it was the right time to leave. Nobody would disdain or reprimand them for such a choice.
However, if they chose to shoulder this responsibility, they needed to be prepared to sacrifice themselves at any moment.
"I'm not afraid of risking my life, and I'm willing to take responsibility for the consequences caused by my mistakes. But my sister's task is far too dangerous. If anything goes wrong, she won't have enough time..."
Quicksilver looked somewhat troubled as he spoke to Captain. As an older brother, he couldn't bear to see his sister in such danger.
But before he could finish his sentence, Tony angrily interrupted, "Danger! Kid, do you think we're staying here to play superhero make-believe with you?
Let me tell you what danger is!
Danger is—right now, there's still one of our comrades left inside the lab, so that the three of us can successfully get out.
Danger is—once the explosion breaches that energy barrier, not only will thousands of civilians be affected, I'll also be completely evaporated by the explosion's intense heat, just like your sister.
We can't have any plans that are a hundred percent risk-free perfect solutions right now. So either you give us a solution that ensures zero risk for everyone, or you shut up and carry out your tasks.
Otherwise, you and your sister better run as far away as possible, and we Avengers will take care of the problems here!"
Tony's words were very merciless, even bordering on cruel, for someone like Quicksilver, who was still underage.
However, as companions, both Captain and Hawkeye understood Tony's behavior. He wanted to make the two of them back down through this manner, rather than rashly staying behind to play the hero.
This was Tony, the tsundere with a sharp tongue, expressing his care in a unique way.
But Tony forgot, the two individuals before him were not ordinary minors. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch had relied on their own abilities since they were around ten years old, living a strong and independent life, supporting each other.
The hardships they had endured over the years had tempered them, forging unyielding hearts and willpower.
It was precisely because of these qualities that they could persevere through the experiments in Strucker's facility using the Mind Stone, eventually gaining extraordinary powers.
Therefore, Tony's idea of making them retreat with harsh words was impossible to achieve. In fact, his words even stirred up their determination.
"We've already made up our minds. My brother and I will do our best to complete the mission.
Brother, please believe me, I can use my abilities to resolve this crisis and keep everyone safe."
"I'll finish my task as quickly as possible and come back to your side. If the worst-case scenario really happens, I'll outrun the explosion and the Grim Reaper, taking you to a safe place. Trust your brother!"
