Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone.

"Not afraid!"

"I'm curious."

"Because Heidi wasn't originally a Hydra agent, at least not on the list released by Hydra. And the intelligence Heidi provided was crucial in our ability to accurately target and eliminate Hydra bases around the world this time."

"...Alright then."

Although Mike sensed that Victoria Hand's real reason for inviting Heidi to join Sky Sword Bureau wasn't what she claimed, he didn't press for details.

no need.

As long as it's acceptable on the surface.

Moreover, it's really good that Heidi is going back to work, instead of staying at home all the time, which would eventually turn her into a shut-in or something.

Mike was thinking to himself.

At 10:00 AM on May 16, 2014, during the New York City incident, stealth-equipped Quinjet fighters steadily arrived over Roosevelt Island.

next second.

The lawn on Roosevelt Island emitted a buzzing mechanical sound before rapidly splitting apart as if the ground itself had cracked open.

The Quinjet fighter jet descended slowly, eventually landing beneath Roosevelt Island and hollowing out two-thirds of New York's Aegis system...

wrong.

This place has now been renamed the SkySword Command Center in New York.

The cabin door opens.

Mike spotted Heidi standing outside immediately.

But Heidi didn't hug Mike right away. Instead, she looked at Victoria Hand and said, "Commander, Captain Steve Rogers of the Avengers is waiting for you in the conference room."

Victoria Hand nodded, said goodbye to Mike, and then left the hangar first.

Mike raised an eyebrow, hugged Heidi, and then looked at her curiously.

"The Avengers?"

"The Avengers..."

"I know its full name."

Mike's lips twitched slightly: "I'm just curious, do you guys still have connections with the Avengers?"

Heidi shrugged: "It's not really a connection. The Avengers are handing over to us. From now on, all matters related to Hydra will be handled by the Avengers, led by Captain Steve Rogers."

S.H.I.E.L.D. no longer exists.

But the Avengers are still around.

The Avengers proved their necessity in the Battle of New York in 2012, and besides, S.H.I.E.L.D. is S.H.I.E.L.D., while the Avengers are the Avengers.

After all, the composition of the Avengers organization is quite complex.

The super-rich are so rich they have nowhere to spend their money that they can only cosplay as superheroes.

There is a top scientist who can transform into the Hulk.

There is also the Thunder God, a deity from outer space.

Although this Thor seems to have never been to Earth since the Battle of New York, there is still a bond of camaraderie among them.

Not to mention that the Avengers also have Captain America, an old-school superhero who, even now, could inspire the masses to follow him with a single call to arms.

Therefore, rather than disbanding the Avengers, it would be better to let them continue to exist.

Just be a freeloader.

Anyway, the five philanthropists don't need to contribute funds.

After all, the Avengers' headquarters was built by Tony Stark, Iron Man, after the Battle of New York, using a huge warehouse located on the Hudson River in upstate New York and funding its construction.

The Avengers base is fully equipped, including a research area, military training area, and weapons development center that are still under construction.

Although the base is scheduled to be completed next year, it already has a considerable number of staff members.

For example, Maria Hill, the former deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who switched to Stark Industries.

She is now in charge of this Avengers base, and also responsible for recruiting S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were disbanded.

Therefore, the five great philanthropists, who are rich, capable, and selfless in their desire to protect the world, are naturally delighted to see this group of people.

Coincidentally, the new X Agency had just launched, and some internal processes and personnel deployments were still being handled. At this time, it was the perfect opportunity for the Avengers to help share the workload of continuing the hunt for Hydra.

Mike listened to Heidi's explanation and nodded thoughtfully.

He originally thought he had already speedrunned through Hydra in Sokovia ahead of time. In other words, he had already brought Avengers 2 to a close before it was even released.

But now the Hydra data has ended up in the hands of the Avengers after going through many twists and turns.

and so--

Will Ultron ever be reborn?

Mike wondered to himself.

But he was only curious for a short while, and he didn't say anything about wanting to meet the legendary Captain America. After Heidi briefly handed over her work to her colleagues, he followed Heidi and left Roosevelt Island first.

On the way back, Heidi, who was driving, would occasionally glance at Mike sitting in the passenger seat.

Mike felt Heidi's occasional glances at him, and after ignoring them for a while, he couldn't help but turn to look at Heidi, who seemed to still have something to say.

"what?"

"fine."

Heidi shook her head first, then thought for a moment, glanced at Mike, and said with some curiosity, "So you only trained in Sokovia and didn't do anything else?"

Mike raised an eyebrow.

"for example?"

"I don't know, but I feel like something's off about you since you came back this time."

Heidi said this, frowning slightly as she looked at Mike: "You used to seem so tense, but this time when you came back, you seemed so relaxed, like a spring. Before, you were compressed, but now you're very relaxed."

How can it not become loose?

Even after years of accumulation, most of it has been released by Wanda in the past three months.

We're not far from having not a single drop left.

but……

Mike would definitely not say this, and he had no intention of telling Heidi about Wanda.

I had thought about telling Heidi before.

But not now.

Before Wanda has made up her mind.

after all!

Being dumped is a very embarrassing thing, so he didn't plan to tell Heidi about it until he had figured things out with Wanda.

The sarcasm among family members is the most blatant. Although there is no malice, Heidi will remember it for the rest of her life after finally falling in love and being dumped.

Mike's mind raced, then, meeting Heidi's curious gaze, he smiled and said, "Because we're one step closer to getting revenge on Loki, we're naturally more relaxed."

Although Heidi felt that this explanation was not quite right, hearing Mike mention Loki reminded her of the revenge for her parents, and she took a deep breath.

"So, how many steps away are we from seeking revenge against Loki?"

"One step away."

Mike said with a smile.

He was just one Saint Cloth away from going to Asgard to seek revenge on Loki.

but!

The anniversaries of the adoptive parents' death are important.

They will set off to find the Saint Cloth after the anniversary of the death.

Mike already has a general idea of ​​how to replicate the Saint Cloths in the Marvel Universe.

……

107. Materials used to replace Saint Cloths in the Marvel Universe!

June 15, 2014.

The weather is sunny.

Mike and Heidi got up early in the morning, bought some flowers at a flower shop on their way, and then went to the cemetery behind Holy Trinity Church.

The graves of adoptive father Nick and adoptive mother Meni are located here.

In fact, given the specifications of the Holy Trinity Cemetery, it is highly unlikely that either the adoptive father or adoptive mother would be buried here.

Leaving aside Alexander Hamilton, the man on the American ten-dollar bill and the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, who is buried here, Trinity Cemetery has not accepted new burials for many years.

But Ametra's family was an exception.

Because from the time Ametra's family settled in New York City, they had developed good relationships with the pastors of Holy Trinity Church.

one more time.

The West has never been the impersonal society portrayed by Dongda University's online propaganda, a society that doesn't require connections and only values ​​individual ability.

This place is more humane than the University of Tokyo, and it values ​​relationships more than the University of Tokyo.

Well known.

Letters of recommendation are a major feature here.

So even though Trinity Cemetery hasn't arranged any new burials for a long time, Mike's adoptive parents were still placed there.

At this moment, the classic roses in the cemetery are in full bloom, and as you walk into the cemetery, you are greeted by the fragrance of roses.

At the gravestones of my adoptive parents.
