Marvel: Unlimited Possession Chapter 648: Spots

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

Washington, Military Hospital.

Tony looked at his friend lying on the hospital bed with a remorseful expression on his face.

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

"It's not your fault, Tony."

Seeing 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, albeit not in a good way."

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

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

In response, Tony twitched 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 was beside him when he saw his movements, hurriedly reached out to hold his palm.

"Maybe we were all wrong, Tony."

"I thought the registration act was too hasty, but California's mission has taught me that many battles are doomed, and the power of the grotesque has become something that cannot be ignored, even without me This time the mission, the battle between humans and grotesques will eventually happen, not only grotesques, but also the problem of superheroes, not everyone is as lucky as me to survive, maybe it's time A decision has been made, 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.

Tony's heart was touched by the conversation of his friend James at the hospital bed.

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

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

Turning his head, he saw the figure of Charles appearing in control of the wheelchair.

"This is not what we, the Brotherhood of Geeks, hoped for."

He looked at Tony under the sunglasses, and Charles said apologetically.

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

Gaze swept across the unmanned wheelchair under Charles, and 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."

Faced with Tony's vaguely hostile attitude, Charles in the wheelchair still maintains his rational and gentle appearance.

"What happened in California made me understand the fear and incomprehension of the grotesque human beings, even if we come from human beings, but this incomprehension breeds war and hostility, especially in the policy of the federal government This hostility towards the grotesque became more apparent below."

"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 is grotesque or human."

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

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

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

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

"You should be speaking to the federal government, not me."

When Charles opened his mouth 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 has a bad stance on weirdos."

Events in California had a huge impact on the grotesque.

It is also because of this that fierce voices have begun to appear within the grotesque.

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

The 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."

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

In the wheelchair, Charles' eyes seem to be able to see through Tony's dark glasses.

……

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

The Avengers Mansion, where members of the Avengers are rarely gathered because of the Brotherhood of the Grotesques.

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

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

"Can you tell me about that guy?"

"Eric, the exact 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 metal, and it can control metal to attack and be attacked by metal. The Brotherhood of the Grotesques calls it Magneto."

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

The latter is silent.

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

Frowning, Captain America Steve speaks.

According to 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, even killed, Captain."

Steve's vague display of his duty to the military has unexpectedly touched Tony's heart, especially since he's just been visiting a seriously injured friend from the hospital.

“So does the grotesque.”

"Sometimes, I really hate your kindness, 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 spoke softly.

Received 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 For eccentric people with extreme behavior, obviously, the other party's purpose is not simple."

"Clearly, the time in California, not just causing casualties, but also irritating Eric, if such a dangerous grotesque were allowed to go on, the damage would be more than just California grotesques sanctuary, but America as a whole."

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 intelligence, 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.

"I apologize if it was just in the building, Tony."

Stopping the punches in his hand, Steve wiped the sweat from his face, held the sandbag in front of him and turned to look at Tony who appeared at the door, panting slightly.

"Sometimes I'm really not very likable."

"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 across the tense muscles on Steve's body and continued to speak.

"However, it is undeniable that although the military's actions are 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 will represent the completeness of the Avengers and the American government break."

Though Tony's description is euphemistic, Steve already understands the meaning of his words.

"So, you're here to sign up for the Act."

"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 this rising situation a little bit. It's just a compromise."

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

However, in the face of Tony's tactful 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 superhuman beings to become weapons of the American government, and we will lose our freedom to become weapons of obedience, I have felt this way, believe me this is not what it is What a great experience."

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

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

Shaking his head silently, Steve's position is 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.

Eventually, Tony fell back.

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 of 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, I'm almost done."

In this regard, Steve showed a calm expression.

……

"Yes, I understand, but I also express the position of the Avengers that the Superhero Registration Act issues the regulations set out in the Superhero Registration Act are too strict for the use of superhero powers, and if this cannot be amended It would be difficult for us to negotiate.”

Ended a rough conversation with Captain America.

Tony has shown a tough stance 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 world.

Tony still respects Steve's ideas and shows his disapproval.

"Mr. Stark, the president is very unhappy about this, and if you've seen his tweets, we're very passive in Congress because of the Avengers' stance."

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

An unceremonious answer was given 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~IndoMTL.com~Answer?'

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

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

"Cannot 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."

A curious look began to appear on Tony's face when he heard that even Ultron couldn't lock the identity of the target sent the file.

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

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

"As ordered."

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