Chapter 3416 Midnight Son (Fifteen)
"Okay, our meeting content is about talking about the issues in the Bronx..." Stark sat in the Avengers base, looking at the people on both sides. The Avengers were basically all present, but because of this universe, there were not many Avengers, and the conference room still seemed a little deserted.
"I've talked to members of the new Warriors team," Captain America Steve said first. "They will strengthen patrols and make sure that no vicious crimes can occur."
"Is the Minotaur a vicious crime?" Stark asked.
"Of course, it's up." Steve replied, "but they haven't come out of the fighting world that day, and they have all returned this morning. Next time there is such a thing, they will arrive at the scene as soon as possible."
"I'm not talking about fighting monsters, but about the occasion when this happened," Stark said.
"You mean the black protest?" Natasha said, "I asked the Falcon for his opinion. He was more rational, but also told me that we can't expect everyone to be so rational."
"Where is the Black Panther?" Hawkeye asked, turning his head.
"They never participated in the struggle of black Americans," Steve turned his head and said, "The reasons are complicated, but I can understand him."
"Do you suspect that someone deliberately raised the conflict this time?" Dr. Banner looked at Stark and asked. He was also a member of the Avengers, and Connors and Dr. Otto also joined, but Otto went out for vacation and did not come this time.
Stark nodded and said that Miles' discovery was completely ironclad, but he also emphasized the abnormality of the two Ghost Riders.
When it comes to magic, everyone is a little nervous. None of the people here can understand magic, even Stark. His way of using magic is completely different from that of the mage. He regards magic energy more as a simple energy, and rarely engages in idealistic things.
Seeing everyone reacting, Stark sighed and said, "It seems that the boy's suggestion is useful. The Avengers must have their own magic combat troops and cannot rely on the New York Temple."
Natasha nodded and said, "It's true. There are not many people in the New York Temple. The nodes that only want to maintain the magic defense network are too busy and cannot expect them to support them everywhere."
"Where is Stephen?" Stark asked again.
"He's even busier." Natasha said, "He stayed in the Holy Place for two days, and then went back to the hospital for surgery... God, he hasn't left the operating room for more than 70 hours."
"There is too much resistance to pull him out of the operating room." Connors obviously knows it, saying, "All the rich patients in the world are lined up. If he doesn't become a doctor, the whole world will unite against us."
"Well, then let's look at the candidates," said Stark. "As almost the only one among you who can use magic skillfully, I certainly want to participate."
"And you, Peter." Stark looked at Peter, "I remember you had also gotten magical energy before, the time with Venom."
Peter nodded and said, "I do have it, but I basically don't use it. I feel like there is no occasion to use it."
"You probably have to use this time," said Stark. "First make yourself a uniform, think of a code name, and then practice your magic well."
"Can't you just call Spider-Man?" Peter asked.
"There is already a Spider-Man," Stark replied.
"There are more than one, and Spider-Man is everywhere in New York." Peter scratched his face and said, "Not many more than me. At worst, you can change the uniform and add a code name like magic spider."
"Okay, it's up to you," Stark said, "but you're going to work harder recently." Peter looked down at his abdomen, and could vaguely see the outline of some abdominal muscles. It's really time to exercise.
"Who else wants to join?" Stark looked around and said, "Practical first."
Others looked at me, and I looked at you, and didn't make a sound because there was really no magic among them.
"That's it." Stark said, "Although that boy Danny is unreliable, he still has a good name. The new superhero team is called Midnight Son, and the tentative members include me, Peter, Moonlight Knight, Ghost Rider, and non-staff members Spider-Man Miles and Jarvis."
"Moonlight Knight?" Connors repeated the name, as if he felt a little unfamiliar.
"Yes." Stark replied, "To be precise, the three generations of Moonlight Knights, which recently resumed activities and also helped us solve the Minotaur."
"Wait a minute," Steve asked, "The moon in New York suddenly disappeared for a few seconds the night before yesterday. Did he do it?"
"Yes, to deter evil spirits," Stark replied.
"I'll feel relieved," said Steve. "At last there is an expert."
Stark looked at him dissatisfiedly, but after thinking about it, the Moonlight Knight is the most expert in this team. The others either become monks halfway through or have multiple positions, and there is no serious magician at all.
"I think you should find Stephen as your non-staff member." Natasha said again, "Even if he can't be present in person, at least he can give you some theoretical help. If Stephen is too busy, then go find Rocky and he should be happy."
"If this is the case, there is no point in forming this squad." Stark said, "We are still relying on other people's magical powers. We must be as independent as possible. Do you understand?"
"I will report this to Nick," said Natasha. "So that if you make a mess one day, SHIELD can clean up for you as soon as possible."
Stark also understood why everyone was not optimistic about this team, but he still chose to persist.
"This squad alone cannot solve the problem in the Bronx." Dr. Banner said rationally, "The security situation in the Bronx is a social problem, and it cannot be solved by superheroes. Tony, have you figured out what to do?"
"Of course." Stark nodded and said, "Last night I studied Hong Kong history overnight and found that there are indeed similarities between Hong Kong and the Bronx. Most of them are historical problems, and I have also found many solutions to it."
Steve frowned slightly and said, "The New York government may not be willing to improve. Are you planning to pay for it yourself?"
Stark nodded and said, "As long as it can solve the New York cancer, spending some money is nothing."
"Do you know how much it costs?" Steve said after pausing for a moment, "This is not a simulation business game. The Bronx is large and has a large population. Even if it is just a thorough review, what is needed is astronomical."
“The Stark Group is in good condition,” Stark said. “I believe Obadaiah and Pepper will solve my worries.”
When others heard Stark say this, there was nothing else to say. A rich man was willing to pay for the improvement of people's livelihood out of his own pocket, so they could only applaud and praise.
"Okay, the meeting is here first," Stark said. "In the next period of time, I may focus on building the Midnight Son's base and the Avengers work, you guys are watching..."
After Stark left, several doctors also left one after another, but Steve and Natasha did not leave.
The two of them are the oldest among all, and the experience accumulated from time is not comparable to that of others.
"What do you think?" Steve asked, rubbing the cup.
"The idea is good." Natasha replied, "but there will definitely be various problems in the process. Tony will be overwhelmed by this, and others may not be able to provide any help. I can only hope that he will be more lucky and not step on all the pitfalls."
"The Avengers must also be prepared," Steve said, "we will take over when necessary."
"You are always so reliable, captain." Natasha smiled and said, "With S.H.I.E.L.D., there will be no big mess. More importantly, there are Moonlight Knights in the team."
"What? Tony is here?" Schiller, who was helping Strange make up for the case at the desk in the Moonlight Temple, stood up and said, "Why did he come so soon?"
Shiller stretched out his hand and the hooded cloak hung beside him flew over and covered him. Kong Su roared in his ear: "Remember, you are a doctor, talk more and fight less!"
"I know, I know." Schiller walked out with his long staff.
Iron Man in a mecha stood in the middle of the hall, followed by two Spider-Man. One was Miles in a black and red uniform, and the other was familiar with Spider-Man, but not in a red and blue tights, but was a dark blue to black gradient from head to toe.
Schiller could tell at a glance that it was Peter. He remembered that Peter also had magical energy, the time he stole electricity, the power of faith was always in his body, so even if he was not Spider-Man, he still had extraordinary abilities.
Schiller looked at his new uniform, which was a little deeper and darker than the classic Spider-Man uniform, which was very consistent with the name of the Midnight Son.
Stark's mecha also changed its color, not gold and red, but blue and white when he first invented the nano mecha. The shoulder armor became thicker and slightly raised upward, as if it was imitating the knight's armor. A blue one-shoulder cloak hung behind one shoulder, with a pattern of a magic array printed on it.
At first glance, it doesn't look like Iron Man at all, but it's a bit like a character in some magical setting games, with a much gorgeous shape than the usual iron can.
"Good guy, all the skins have been upgraded." Schiller said to Consu in his heart, "I want to upgrade too."
"Can you calm down?" Kong Su replied, "My moonlight power is not so wasteful for you."
"Anyway, you don't waste it on special effects, you have to waste it on combat," Schiller said. "Add a special effect to me, and I promise not to fight today."
In the end, Kong Su still couldn't resist Schiller. The moonlight energy formed several white lights slightly floating, stretching out from Schiller's back.
The moonlight knight waved his wings made of light training and slowly fell from the second floor.
"Good guy, he has upgraded," Stark said to Jarvis in the mecha. "I just said I wanted to knock on a steel wing. You must be too exaggerated. Now, I'm going to be compared by others, right?"
"Sir, can you be more mature?" said Jarvis. "We are here to form a superhero team, not beauty pageants!"
"Ha, it's normal for sweeping robots to have no aesthetics," said Stark.
Stark looked at the wings behind the Moonlight Knight. Unlike ordinary wings, Light Practice looks like wings and tentacles. When dancing irregularly in the air, it looks holy and weird, which is very consistent with people's imagination of the moon.
Stark cleared his throat and said, "Hello, Moonlight Knight, we are here to invite you to join the Son of Midnight. This is a team specifically targeting magic-related events. What do you think?"
"Magic..." The Moonlight Knight repeated the word, glanced over them, and said, "I can't see the connection between you and magic."
Stark snorted coldly, and the magic core light flowed in his chest, and he soared into the air, and then said, "I'm afraid we have to show you."
Kong Su wailed in Schiller's heart: "Didn't you say you won't fight?!!"
Jarvis also shouted in Stark's headphones: "I promised not to do it!"
