American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 710 Trial
Ultimately, considering that she didn't want to cause Mike any trouble, Scarlet Witch chose to go with the special forces team.

That night, the Avengers members, including Captain America and Tony Stark, along with four street heroes, were detained in a temporary shelter.

The kind that's surrounded by armed guards.

They were vaguely regarded as criminals.

The next morning, the Avengers, the street heroes, and the Winter Soldier were once again taken to a small courtroom.

In addition to a group of lawmakers and officials like Nick Fury, several influential business tycoons were also in charge of this "trial".

"Sis, something doesn't seem right. Could they be after us?" Feeling the serious atmosphere in the makeshift courtroom, Quicksilver, uneasy, quietly went to Wanda's side.

"I don't know either, let's wait and see." Scarlet Witch glanced around at the councilors' unpleasant expressions and shook her head slightly.

At this point, she was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, believing that this "trial" was aimed at the Avengers.

He and Quicksilver and other street heroes were merely implicated.

Therefore, I didn't pay much attention to it.

As for the members of the Avengers, seeing the scene of a trial in the room, their expressions were not very good.

It seemed like they had a premonition of something.

However, considering that this is not a real court, and that Baron Zemo, the mastermind behind it all who should be on trial, was not brought here.

Therefore, although the Avengers members felt uncomfortable about this temporary "trial," they did not think the matter was too serious.

"Silence!"

Once everyone had arrived, the state legislator at the head of the table, who was responsible for reading the proceedings, tapped the small gavel on the table to draw everyone's attention and said, "The topic of this session of the legislature is to discuss the justice and legitimacy of the Avengers organization..."

After the topic of this "trial" was determined, the state legislator on the podium, amidst the grim faces of the Avengers members, pulled out a stack of documents and read aloud:

"On January 18, during a hostage rescue operation, Avengers member Banner damaged two residential buildings and several cars, causing economic losses to the public amounting to millions of US dollars..."

"On February 23, Avengers member Clint Barton, while intercepting bank robbers, fired an explosive arrow that damaged the 2th Bridge, causing severe disruption to public transportation..."

"In the same month, on February 29th, Avengers member Tony Stark, while on a mission, briefly bypassed the Apple City network using high-tech means, causing incalculable losses to the Wall Street stock market..."

"..."

As the Avengers members were called out one by one, their expressions grew increasingly grim as they realized that this "trial" was indeed aimed at them.

Some people are thinking about how to refute it, while others are reflecting on their own actions.

Meanwhile, some people were watching the spectacle.

Yes, the onlookers were none other than Quicksilver and his sister.

"I knew joining an official organization wouldn't be so simple. Now it seems that being a street hero is much freer..." Quicksilver said with a hint of relief in his voice.

I'm glad I first came into contact with street heroes, rather than the Avengers.

“These accusations are clearly problematic, only mentioning losses and not contributions…” Scarlet Witch remained relatively calm.

Although she doesn't have a deep emotional connection to the Avengers, it doesn't mean she's willing to see them being slandered.

It has a sense of "feeling sorry for one's own kind".

Of course, regardless of what the siblings thought, and how grim the expressions on the faces of the Avengers members, the state legislator's reading continued.

"On June 15, during the operation to eliminate Hydra, Ultron, a super-intelligent robot developed by Avengers members Tony Stark and Banner, exhibited strong anti-human behavior."

"It has caused hundreds of civilian casualties and countless economic losses. The impact has been extremely negative..."

After the lengthy reading of the documents concluded, the state legislator looked up at the group of Avengers members and asked, "Do you have anything to say about these accusations?"

You wouldn't know unless you did the statistics, but once you did, the Avengers organization does indeed seem to have committed some "heinous crimes".

The Avengers members were initially indignant, but they all fell silent by the end. Although it was for the sake of justice, the stark statistics were there, and they couldn't really refute it.

"All our operations are under the unified command and management of Director Nick Fury. Although some people's lives and property were lost during the operation, I believe it was all worth it in order to fight crime." Surprisingly, when the rest of the Avengers were silent, Captain America resolutely stepped forward.

They are defending the legitimacy of the Avengers organization.

At that moment, the Avengers, who had previously been somewhat dissatisfied with Captain America's "yielding," suddenly felt that the Captain's image had become much more impressive.

Subsequently, apart from Tony, who was still reflecting on his actions, the other Avengers members all spoke out in support of Captain America.

At the same time, they are also speaking out for themselves.

It also stated that everyone's actions were carried out under the direction of Director Nick and were therefore legal.

this point is very important.

Then, the pressure fell on Nick Fury.

"First, I want to state that I have communicated and discussed all the Avengers' actions with the relevant departments in advance. Second, I am very sorry for the losses caused to the public during the operation." Facing the gazes of the crowd, Nick Fury's dark face showed little expression.

His speech was fairly standard.

However, upon closer examination, one can still detect a hint of shifting blame.

After all, as the person directly in charge of the Avengers organization, he did not take on the responsibility he should have taken immediately.

But this is normal.

Since Tony and others broke away from S.H.I.E.L.D. to form the Avengers, they have gradually broken away from Nick Fury's control.

Unfortunately, Nick Fury is a very controlling person. His ideal of maintaining world peace is not wrong, but he only believes in himself.

The growing strength of the Avengers has made him less trusting of Tony Stark, Captain America, and others as he once did.

It was precisely because of this estrangement that he did not immediately endorse the Avengers.

Captain America and the others clearly sensed this as well, and couldn't help but feel disappointed in Nick Fury.

"Thank you, Director Nick, for your remarks. It is precisely because we are concerned that the actions of the Avengers will have a negative impact on the public that we have decided, after discussion, to formulate a set of 'Kosovia Agreements' to monitor the Avengers' future actions and ensure that their actions will not cause significant losses to the public..." After Nick Fury finished speaking, the state legislator took out the "Kosovia Agreements" submitted by Representative Ross.

Of course, compared to the first version of the agreement, the current Kosovia Accords impose stricter controls on the Avengers.

It has almost escalated to the level of supervising prisoners.

After all, Senator Ross almost died in the joint operation between the Avengers and street heroes.

Having suffered such a great loss and escaped death, it's understandable that he reacted a bit excessively.

"I oppose this Kosovia Agreement. It's like using a magnifying glass to monitor our actions." After quickly reading the contents of the agreement handed to him by the senator, Captain America reiterated his stance.

Captain America is someone who experienced World War II and came through blood and fire.

Although he is not interested in politics, it does not mean that he is really "stupid".

This agreement is clearly aimed at the Avengers and undermines everyone's sense of justice.

It might eventually become someone's political tool.

This trend disgusted Captain America.

“I think this agreement is very necessary. Think about the ordinary people… Captain, didn’t you also say that the people shouldn’t pay for our recklessness…” Tony, after reflecting for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

It seems to be the exact opposite of Captain America's opinion.

This is surprising, yet not entirely unexpected.
