Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 87 Everyone's Hope

Happy Hogan reluctantly got out of the car, looking at the mature woman in the seat, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"I thought we could spend more time together, how about tomorrow night, I can pick you up, just like today."

"Oh Happy." The lady in the car smiled and shook her head, reached out and patted the back of Happy Hogan's hand, and said, "There will be many more opportunities in the future. Now we should contribute our own strength to this world."

"Contribute? Yes, we all have to contribute. What I love most in my life is helping others." Happy Hogan smiled and scratched the back of his head.

After a pause, he continued, "Does the mutual aid association still need funds? I remember you said that many people have lost their jobs. I think I can use the funds from the foundation to subsidize them."

"Don't bother Happy, this belongs to Stark Industries after all," the woman shook her head, but she was quickly interrupted by Happy Hogan.

"You think I embezzled public funds? No, no, no, how could I do that? In fact, Tony set up a charity fund in advance for post-disaster reconstruction and personnel welfare. This is specifically for the victims."

Hearing this, the woman's expression eased a little, but she still shook her head.

"Happy, I know you want to help, but you can't be too hasty in your charity. You have to do it step by step. Otherwise, those people will not only not be grateful, but they may even feel resentful towards Stark."

"Uh, of course I know that." Happy Hogan opened his mouth and muttered with a stutter.

The woman in the car raised her lips, she knew very well that the reason why Happy Hogan was so attentive was because he wanted to pursue her.

After a moment's silence, she spoke.

"Don't worry, Happy. I know what you mean, but you also have to understand that sometimes it's not just charity that needs to be done step by step. The same is true in other areas as well."

The woman smiled and waved her hand. Seeing this, Happy Hogan also raised his hand and waved.

Then, the driver started the car, and with Happy Hogan's reluctant look on his face, the car gradually drove out and went farther and farther along the road.

Watching the car disappear at the end of his sight, Happy Hogan sighed quietly, as if he was disappointed that he didn't get to meet the other party tomorrow.

But the next moment, Happy Hogan rekindled his fighting spirit, because he felt that this woman had slowly begun to accept him, which was also a kind of success.

Thinking of this, Happy Hogan swung his fist and made a 'yes' gesture.

"Not bad, Happy."

"Wow!"

A sudden voice came from behind him, and it scared Happy Hogan so much that he almost jumped up.

After turning his head suddenly, he found that the person standing behind him was Su Ze, whom he had not seen for a long time. The key point was that he didn't even realize how the other party came behind him.

"Damn it! Don't you agents make any noise when you walk?" Happy Hogan patted his chest, but when he thought of Nick Fury and Hill, he sighed again. "I really don't need to ask this question."

Su Ze naturally wouldn't tell the other party that he came here through the portal. He put his arm around Happy's shoulders and said with a smile, "I saw it all just now. That should be Spider-Man's Aunt May, right?"

"Ah, uh, yes." Happy Hogan was a little nervous. "Don't tell anyone. I don't want anyone to know until this matter is settled. Especially Tony. If I fail, he will laugh at me for the rest of my life."

It seems that the relationship between Tony and Happy has really surpassed that of a boss and an employee. Suze shrugged and smiled. "Don't worry, I won't tell Tony."

He let out a long sigh and glanced at Su Ze helplessly. Then he suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion.

"By the way, shouldn't you be on a mission? Why do you have time to come to me? Don't tell me you need my help with something."

"Speaking of this." Su Ze heard this, and put away his smile slightly, and said seriously, "I really need your help with something, and it's a matter of great importance."

Seeing Suze's serious expression, Happy Hogan couldn't laugh anymore.

Based on his understanding of Su Ze, as long as this guy wanted his help, it would definitely not be an easy task. The most important thing was that for him to be so serious, the matter must have reached an extremely serious level.

"It can't be Vision's problem again. Tony is back. He is the only one who has the final say on Vision's stay or departure. Even I have no right to interfere."

Ever since Tony Stark came back, Happy Hogan kicked the ball away, and now those people from S.W.O.R.D. and Disaster Control Bureau have never come to him again.

After all, the ownership of Vision still lies in Tony himself.

But Su Ze shook his head slightly. "The problem of Vision has long passed. Now we are facing a more serious incident. If we don't handle it well, the whole earth will be destroyed."

Looking at Su Ze saying such a horrible thing so lightly, Happy Hogan was stunned for a moment. He looked straight into Su Ze's eyes, hoping to see some difference.

"Today is not April Fool's Day, Kaia." Su Ze did not keep the secret and took out his cell phone, pulled out the photos and placed them in front of Happy Hogan.

Happy Hogan hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take the phone. Looking at the miserable death of the green humanoid creature on the screen, his brows furrowed deeply.

“Isn’t this really a movie special effect?”

"I killed it myself, in New York." Su Ze said calmly. "And there are far more than one of these things."

Hearing this, Happy Hogan's face darkened, he looked around and returned the phone to Su Ze.

"Let's talk in my office. This is not the place to talk."

This was not the first time he came here. After Su Ze entered Happy Hogan's office, he was relatively less restrained than the previous two times.

After making a cup of black tea, Suze did not hide anything. He told Happy Hogan everything about the existence of the Skrulls, even their mission and the fact that Minister Kalina had been replaced.

As he spoke, Su Ze was also observing Happy Hogan's expression. Although he was sure that the man in front of him was not a Skrull in disguise, he still had to be cautious.

Happy Hogan listened to Su Ze's story silently. He wanted to speak several times, but in the end, he opened his mouth but no words came out.

Happy Hogan didn't look up until Suze finished speaking. "Are you saying that there are already quite a few Skrulls on Earth? And there's a high probability that even the Avengers have been replaced?"

"Yeah." Su Ze nodded. "The good news is that we now have a way to identify those Skrulls, which is why I came here. To make that portable instrument, we need an Ark reactor."

Happy Hogan rubbed his temples, constantly digesting Su Ze's words and his own shattered worldview.

Originally, he thought that Thanos' invasion was already a very serious matter, but he never expected that before the impact of the Thanos crisis had passed, another wave of aliens appeared on Earth.

"The reactor is not a problem. I have as many as you need in my warehouse. They are all the things Tony is going to use for new energy vehicles."

Rubbing his tired face, Happy Hogan raised his head and looked at Su Ze opposite him.

"I'm a little curious. Aren't you worried that I was also replaced by those Skrulls? After all, you don't have that instrument in your hand now."

"In fact, I can't be 100% sure of your identity, but I think even my safe house was provided by you, and it has not been attacked until now, so..." Su Ze spread his hands as a matter of course.

"That's true." Happy Hogan nodded thoughtfully, but at the same time he suddenly thought of something and glared. "Wait, you just said that most of the Skrulls have infiltrated the new Avengers base, so, what about Tony?"

Seeing that Happy Hogan was a little excited, Su Ze did not hide his plan.

"Tony's situation is very complicated. He is in a bad physical condition and needs a long period of rest. We are not sure whether he has been replaced at the moment, so we have to make the equipment first before making any plans."

Happy Hogan listened to Su Ze's explanation and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He had never encountered such a thing before, so he was also at a loss.

Although he wanted to make sure of Tony's safety right now, he also knew that Suze was right. Before they could identify the identities of those Skrulls, they could not act rashly or trust anyone.

"In addition to the Ark reactor, I also need you to participate in this incident." Su Ze paused and continued.

"I?"

Happy Hogan was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know what role an ordinary person like him could play in such a horrific incident. This was an Avengers-level disaster.

"Yes, my identity has been exposed. Now those Skrulls are looking for me. Rocket followed me and left, so he can't show up. At present, you are the only one who has the ability to go to the New Avengers Base without attracting attention."

"You, you mean you want me to go" Happy Hogan pointed at his own face and stared blankly at Su Ze in front of him.

"It has to be you." Suze grabbed Happy's hand and said seriously, "Don't you want to save Tony? Now you are the only one who has the ability to do so."

"It's true that I want to save Tony, but, but I..." Happy looked a little struggling.

"Happy, everyone's hope lies on you. Tony, Potts, all the Avengers heroes, and even the safety of the whole world depends on you." Su Ze said word by word.

"But I can't do it alone." Happy Hogan gritted his teeth. It's not that he didn't want to go, but he was afraid of messing everything up.

But Su Ze smiled and nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, you won't be alone."
