MTL - Marvel: Unlimited Possession-Chapter 648 Spotted

"Sorry, James, if I had caught the problem sooner after hanging up."

Washington, Military Hospital.

Tony looked at his friend lying on the hospital bed, and the expression on his face was a little remorseful.

If he could have paid more attention to James' task before, maybe the whole thing would not have happened.

"It's not your fault, Tony."

Looking at Tony's self-blaming look, James shook his head on the hospital bed.

More than half of the bones were shattered, and it was a miracle that he survived.

"I am a soldier, and every time I put on a war machine and go on a mission, I am ready to sacrifice."

"At least, the worst didn't happen, and I'm still alive, although it's not good."

On the hospital bed, James shook his head and downplayed the bad condition of his body in a relaxed tone.

"I'll make you stand up again, James, I promise."

In this regard, Tony pulled the corner of his mouth to reveal an extremely reluctant smile, and said decisively.

Looking at Tony with a serious face in front of the hospital bed, James raised his arm with difficulty, and Tony, who saw his movements, hurriedly reached out to hold his palm.

"Maybe we were all wrong, Tony."

"I thought the decision to register the bill was too hasty, but California's mission has made me understand that many battles are destined, and the power of the grotesque has become an issue that cannot be ignored, even without my this time. quests, battles between humans and grotesques will happen eventually, not just grotesques, superheroes as well, not everyone is as lucky as me to survive, maybe it's time to make a decision now, Tony..."

"..."

Feeling the power coming from James' palm, Tony's expression was a little silent.

...

"Whoo~"

Coming out of James's ward, Tony breathed a sigh of relief and put on the sunglasses in his hand to cover his confused eyes.

Before the hospital bed, the conversation of his friend James caused a great touch in Tony's heart.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tony Stark."

In silence, from behind Tony, a gentle voice said slowly.

Turning his head, he saw the figure of Charles controlling the wheelchair.

"That's not what we in the Brotherhood of the Grotesques hoped for."

Looking at Tony's eyes under the sunglasses, Charles said apologetically.

"I don't think this is where you should be, Charles, or Professor."

Glancing at the unpropelled wheelchair under Charles, Tony frowned under the sunglasses. He noticed that with Tony's appearance, the entire hospital seemed to lose its voice in an instant.

"I'm here to seek peace, Mr. Tony Stark."

In the face of Tony's vaguely hostile attitude, Charles in the wheelchair still maintained his rational and gentle appearance.

"What happened in California made me understand that human beings are afraid and puzzled about weird people, even if we come from human beings, but this puzzlement breeds war and hostility, especially under the policy of the federal government. The hostility towards the grotesque has become more apparent."

"If this hostility is allowed to grow, it will eventually become a disaster, and you and I both know that there will be no winners in this war, whether it's grotesque or human."

"So, what is your purpose, don't tell me you just came to me to complain."

The arc reactor on the clothes on his chest made a faint low-pitched sound. Tony looked at Charles in the wheelchair, but the expression on his face did not relax a bit.

"I want a promise, Mr. Tony Stark, a place for the grotesque."

"In exchange, I can support the signing of the Superhero Registration Act on behalf of some eccentric people who yearn for peace."

"You should say these words to the federal government, not me."

Hearing Charles' opening to express his attitude towards the registration bill, Tony's eyes changed under the sunglasses, but he still said.

"I don't trust the federal government, and the federal government's stance on weirdos is not kind."

Events in California had a huge impact on the grotesque.

It is precisely because of this that fierce voices began to appear within the grotesque.

"How can you be sure, I am on the side of the registration bill."

His eyes stayed on Charles' face in the wheelchair for a long time before Tony asked.

"I can see the confusion in your heart at the moment, Mr. Tony Stark, but I can also see your final decision from this confusion."

Facing Tony's questioning, Charles raised his head and looked at him.

In the wheelchair, Charles' eyes seemed to be able to see into his heart through the eyes under Tony's sunglasses.

...

"How's it going, I mean... James."

Avengers Building, because of the Brotherhood of the Grotesque, the members of the Avengers are rarely gathered together.

"It sucks, but at least he's alive."

Hearing Natasha's question, Tony shook his head and tried to pull the corners of his mouth to make his expression look relaxed.

"Can you tell me about that guy?"

"Eric, the specific name is unknown, as is the identity information."

Hearing Tony's words, Natasha's fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, and soon some intelligence information about Eric appeared in front of the Avengers.

"However, it is certain that the other party is a member of the grotesque. The place where he first appeared was in a small town in Mexico. Its ability seems to be related to the metal, and it can control the metal to attack, and was attacked by the grotesque brother. Those who do call it Magneto."

When it came to the title of Magneto, Natasha glanced at Tony subconsciously. Eric's ability was obviously very restrained to Tony.

The latter was silent.

"All of this is because of the actions of the military. They tried to kill the grotesques of the Brotherhood of Freaks. I know that there is also a shadow of General Ross' participation in this."

Frowning tightly, Captain America Steve spoke.

Judging from the intelligence currently held by the Avengers, the entire incident originated from the actions of the American military against the Brotherhood of the Grotesque.

"Someone was injured or even killed because of this, Captain."

Steve's vaguely showing his duty to the military, but unexpectedly touched Tony's heart, especially when he had just visited a friend who was seriously injured from the hospital.

"The same goes for the grotesque."

"Sometimes, I really hate the kindness you show, Captain."

Tony took a deep look at Steve and said at the same time.

"Perhaps, we should turn our attention back to Magneto."

Aware of the tit-for-tat situation between Tony and Steve, Banner pushed his glasses and then eased.

After receiving the gesture from Banner, Natasha also cooperated.

"At present, Eric's whereabouts are unknown, but from some intelligence clues, he also seems to be looking for the existence of some grotesque people. Judging from the information about the grotesque people he has come into contact with, they are all dangerous and even extreme behaviors. The grotesque man, obviously, the other party's purpose is not simple."

"Obviously, the time in California, not just causing casualties, but also irritating Eric, if such a dangerous grotesque was allowed to go on, the damage would be more than just California grotesque sanctuaries. , but the whole of America."

Hearing the information given by Natasha, Tony frowned and swept across Eric's gloomy face in the photo in front of him.

"Continue to track Magneto's information, and notify me immediately if you find anything."

...

Avengers Building, underground base.

A large number of people are busy coping with the occurrence of various disasters and dangers. In the cabin, a steel armor is awakened and goes to the place where the danger occurs under the control of Ultron to perform tasks.

"Perhaps, we should have a serious talk, Captain."

Among them, Tony found Steve and said seriously to Captain America.

"If it was what I said in the building just now, I apologize, Tony."

Stopping the punching in his hand, Steve wiped the sweat from his face, held the sandbag in front of him, turned his head to look at Tony who appeared at the door, and said with a slight gasp.

"Sometimes I'm really not very pleasant."

"I understand, you're right."

In response, Tony shrugged his shoulders and took the initiative.

"Regardless of James' situation, this time the military's actions against the Brotherhood of the Grotesque are indeed debatable, even self-inflicted."

Walking into the training ground, Tony's eyes swept over the tight muscles on Steve's body and continued to speak.

"However, it is undeniable that although the military's approach is full of criticism, perhaps they also have their own reasons for having to carry out this operation."

"This time they're facing the grotesque, but next time, I don't want the Avengers and the military to be in this scene one day, because it would represent a complete break with the Avengers and the American government."

Although Tony's description is euphemistic, Steve has already understood the meaning of his words.

"So, you're here to register the bill."

"This is just an opinion. Obviously, the current federal government is full of prejudice against superheroes. Perhaps the signing of the registration bill can cool down the rising situation. This is just a slightly compromised approach. That's it."

"It's not just a compromise, Tony."

However, in the face of Tony's euphemistic persuasion, Steve silently shook his head.

He looked directly into Tony's eyes and said solemnly.

"Obviously, the implementation of the Registration Act will cause all the supernatural beings to become weapons of the American government, and we will lose our freedom to become weapons of obedience to orders. I used to have this feeling, believe me, this is not very good. experience."

"Perhaps, all of this is just your conjecture, Captain."

"Sorry Tony, I can't do that."

Shaking his head silently, Steve's position was very firm.

"Don't you ever think about the outcome of such a struggle, Captain? It's very likely that someone will die because of it."

"If someone dies because of this, then it's even more proof that the Registration Act is wrong."

"..."

In the training ground, Tony and Steve looked at each other silently for a long time.

In the end, Tony was defeated.

He turned his head, swept the sandbag behind Steve, raised his hand and was quickly wrapped by the nano-robot, firing shock waves to penetrate the sandbag.

A large amount of fine sand flowed out from the hole where the sandbag was broken, and Tony watched what the captain said.

"Sometimes, I literally smash your good face, Captain."

"I will continue to deal with the federal government."

After venting the anger in his heart, Tony looked at the sandbag that had no effect and turned to Steve.

"Do you need me to help you get a new sandbag?"

"No need, I've almost done my workout."

In this regard, Steve's expression was calm.

...

"Yes, I understand, but I also express the position of the Avengers. The Superhero Registration Act issues the regulations set out in the Superhero Registration Act are too strict for the use of superhero power. If this cannot be amended, we It's hard to negotiate."

Ended the conversation with Captain America that wasn't going well.

Tony showed a tough attitude in the face of pressure from the military and Congress.

No matter how divided the position on the Superhero Registration Act is within the Avengers, at least when it comes to the outside.

Tony still respected Steve's ideas and showed an attitude of disapproval.

"Mr. Stark, the president is very unhappy with this, and if you read what he said on Twitter, we are very passive in Congress because of the position of the Avengers."

"Then, please also tell our new president, Mr. Congressman, that if he has so much time and energy to tweet, maybe he should focus more on more important things."

Responding unceremoniously to the congressman on the phone, Tony hung up the phone and reached out to rub his frown.

"Mr. Stark."

And just when Tony had a headache, Ultron's gentle and rational voice began to sound again.

"I received an unknown video file named 'Answer~www.novelbuddy.com~Answer?'"

Hearing Ultron's words, Tony's face couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

"Can you find the address to send the file to?"

"It can't be locked, the other party seems to have extremely superb hacking skills, and when the file is transferred, all traces have been eliminated, leaving only some obvious springboards."

Hearing that even Ultron could not lock the identity of the target who sent the file, Tony's face began to show a curious look.

"Open the video and I want to see what the so-called 'answer' is."

Decisively ordered Ultron to open the video in the file named 'Answer'.

"As ordered."

Following Tony's instructions, the video was clicked into play mode.
