Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 110 Dark under the lamp

In the far suburbs of Hell's Kitchen, there is a villa complex owned by Stark Industries.

Under a circular portal formed by golden sparks, Su Ze and others finally returned to this safe house that was so familiar to them.

Looking at Su Ze who had transformed into a king and was using magic, the people present had different expressions. Although they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't get used to it in a short period of time.

Because this move was so Skrull-like, if everyone hadn't experienced so many things during this period, and if Su Ze hadn't always been on the side of the Earth, they would probably want to use rocket-made instruments to test Su Ze.

However, they also understood that now was not the time to talk about this. The Skrulls had already taken the lead in provoking the war. If they could not solve this trouble, the entire Earth would be replaced by the Skrulls without the world knowing.

The heroes sat in the living room with serious expressions. Potts, who had woken up, made tea and poured a cup for everyone present.

Everyone who could sit here at this moment had more or less an understanding of the current situation, except Miss Pepperpots, who knew nothing. She only knew that she fell into a coma after drinking a cup of tea.

After waking up, she was surprised to find herself on the Norwegian Quinjet. Then Natasha told her the unacceptable news that the Skrulls had captured the New Avengers Base.

Fortunately, as Iron Man’s wife, Potts has experienced so many events and her ability to accept things is far beyond that of ordinary people, otherwise her blood pressure would have soared by now.

"If only we had discovered this earlier, it would have been much easier a month ago." Steve Rogers sighed.

Natasha nodded as well.

"Carol and Nebula hadn't left at that time, and Thor was also on Earth, but now the devices that can contact them are all in the new Avengers base."

“What if we contact the president?”

"They won't believe it."

"Even if he believed it, the people around him have long been replaced by the Skrulls."

Matt also said. "And Lieutenant Claire has already tried, but now she has..."

He didn't say anything else. If contacting the president was really useful, then the three of them wouldn't have been caught by the fake Rhodes.

From the moment Claire lost contact, her fate was sealed.

Everyone present fell into silence again. The last time they gathered together with such expressions was last month. At that time, Tony Stark had just returned to Earth, and everyone was thinking about how to deal with Thanos.

And now, everyone is worried about the Skrulls again.

"Tony, do you have a way to connect to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control center?" Steve Rogers asked.

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark just sneered. "Do you want me to mobilize my Iron Army? Oh, I forgot, that plan was rejected by you."

"Tony, come on." Steve Rogers sighed.

"Don't be like this?"

Tony Stark looked directly at Steve Rogers.

"Haven't I done enough? Who entered the portal above New York with a nuclear bomb? Who tried so hard to maintain peace on Earth? Who dealt with those bastards in the government while facing the threat of Thanos?"

Tony Stark slammed the cup in his hand on the table and stood up shakily.

"I had expected this to happen. I knew it a long time ago. I have been saying that our strategy was problematic, but none of you agreed with me."

Noticing Tony Stark's movements, Steve Rogers quickly stood up and supported him.

Tony Stark tried to break free, but Steve Rogers had a tight grip.

"Tony, I know what you have done, and I also know what you have given to this world. I owe you this, and we all owe you this, but now, we must first solve the problem of the Skrulls."

Hearing this, Tony Stark steadied himself and looked up to meet Steve Rogers' gaze.

Although there was still some resistance and indifference on his face, his eyes had softened a lot, at least not as aggressive as at the beginning.

Seeing this, Natasha couldn't help but speak up. "The real Rhodes is still under the control of those Skrulls. If we don't take action quickly, he will be in danger."

Hearing Rhodes' name, Tony Stark's pupils moved slightly. After a moment of stalemate, he broke free from Steve Rogers' arm and sat back on the sofa.

After a long silence, Tony Stark sighed.

"The system of the SHIELD control center is independent. It is impossible to invade it remotely using the network. It may be possible if Friday is asked to crack it, but that also requires finding a network interface. Besides, the battle suit is not in my hands now." "What if we try to sneak in?" Jessica Jones asked.

"It's difficult." Natasha shook her head. "The Skrulls are well aware of Carol's strength. They can think of everything we can think of. Those guys won't give us any chances."

"We don't know how many super powers those Skrulls have obtained. It's almost impossible for us to kill our way in." Matt also spoke.

After a pause, Rocket Raccoon turned to look at Jessica Jones. "Kaia said that those Skrulls hold some powerful power. We must prepare for the worst."

"By the way, speaking of this." Rocket Raccoon continued to ask, "Did the prisoner captured by Kaia reveal any useful information?"

"No, that guy keeps his mouth shut." Natasha replied with some distress.

Hearing this, Tony Stark raised his eyebrows. "Is there anyone you can't interrogate?"

"That guy is like a crazy believer. He seems to have a fanatical dependence on the Skrull race. I have tried many methods, even some means that I can't use on ordinary people, but I can't pry open his mouth." Natasha said lightly.

"Have you ever tried shooting him in the lower body?" Rocket Raccoon asked eagerly.

Natasha just shrugged helplessly when she heard this.

"Any news about Bruce Banner?" Steve Rogers looked at Natasha.

"Whereabouts unknown." Natasha replied in a complicated tone. "He disappeared after the battle. The Skrulls are also looking for Bruce's location."

Hearing the terrible news, everyone present sighed silently.

The entire situation was under the control of the enemy. Without combat effectiveness and backup, everything seemed extremely difficult, and they couldn't even come up with a feasible plan.

Just when everyone was frowning and didn't know what to do, suddenly a portal opened again and Su Ze walked out quickly.

Seeing this scene, several people present looked at Su Ze at the same time.

"How is it, have you found Claire?" Matt couldn't help but ask first.

Matt really didn't want the woman who saved his life to meet with any harm.

Su Ze shook his head with a gloomy expression and sighed. "I went to Claire's safe house. It was a mess. I guess the Skrulls had already taken action. I didn't find Claire's body, but I found blood residue and bullets."

Hearing this, Matt slowly closed his eyes, and his heart, which still barely held on to a glimmer of hope, finally sank to the bottom.

"But I found the things Claire left behind from the place you mentioned. And not only that, I also prepared a gift for our 'green-skinned friend'."

As he spoke, Su Ze placed the suitcase in his hand on the table.

Seeing this, everyone present gathered around and looked curiously at the contents of the suitcase. It looked like a syringe containing an unknown liquid.

"What's the use of this thing?" Rocket Raccoon asked, looking up.

"'Truth Serum' was originally intended for Hayward to use on me. I just sneaked into the temporary office of the Disaster Control Bureau. Fortunately, Hayward hasn't left there yet." Su Ze introduced.

"I guess that Skrull is unlikely to cooperate with us, so I made a special trip. With this thing, it will be much easier to get him to talk."

“I think I’ve heard of this.”

Natasha reached out and picked up one of the reagents.

"This is a mixed reagent. After injection, it will confuse the user's brain, making it easier for the user to answer questions based on hints. MI6 and S.H.I.E.L.D. have been working on this in the past, but it has never been effective. I didn't expect that S.W.O.R.D. actually has this method."

"Actually, it has nothing to do with S.W.A.R.D., and Hayward got the formula from a group of criminals involved in black market transactions." Su Ze said casually.

"But the dosage of this thing should be suitable for the human body, right?" Jessica Jones raised a question.

Steve Rogers also turned to look at Suze. "Kaia, are you sure this thing will work on the Skrulls?"

Hearing this, Su Ze just smiled and sucked the reagent into the syringe.

“We will soon know whether it is useful or not.”
