Chapter 71 Military Tribunal
If the pre-battle and battle periods are characterized by meticulous planning and brutal confrontation, then the post-battle period is marked by the pain and struggle of balancing all sides and cleaning up the mess.
Therefore, in some ways, the handling of postwar affairs was even more complicated than that before and during the war.
Restoring Pietro, Gwen, Harry, and their group to their senses and eliminating the effects of Hydra's brainwashing; compensating all the victims; questioning Hydra agents; dealing with accountability demands from various governments, and so on. All these tasks piled up, giving Gel and Nick a major headache.
In the past few days, the return of Tony and Potts has made many reporters sense something different, and they have automatically linked this to the bombing of the S.H.I.E.L.D. building and the bombings that have occurred in various parts of New York.
After all, when Tony's fourteen Iron Man suits arrived at the S.H.I.E.L.D. building, they were photographed from a distance by many people. Captain America, Spider-Man, and Green Wind were also photographed from afar. Only Natasha and Gwen, because they didn't have their own special suits, were hardly noticed, so almost no one took pictures of them.
The appearance of Captain America drove all the reporters almost into a frenzy.
For decades after World War II, Captain America served as a model of positive propaganda, making him a household name in the United States. The Wizard in White, Spider-Man, and Iron Man only rose to fame in the last two years, and their popularity and recognition in the US are nowhere near that of Captain America.
A group of reporters frantically dug through various channels to uncover the hidden truth behind it, but Stark Industries, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the American government all firmly stated that it was a terrorist attack.
As for Captain America, their unanimous claim is that the Captain America of that day was an imposter.
None of them dared to reveal the truth of the matter. Instead, they collectively chose to promote other events, attempting to shift public attention to those other incidents.
Although, the results were minimal.
Meanwhile, the continued infiltration of Spider-Man, Green Wind Man, and others in the past few days has stirred up quite a stir. This group of people, who almost always appear in the public eye and perform acts of heroism, has not shown their faces since, except for a brief appearance on the day S.H.I.E.L.D. was destroyed.
Amidst these undercurrents, a secret military trial involving Captain America, Natasha, Tony, and Potts has finally been confirmed by all parties and will be held in a week.
Despite evidence of Hydra's rebellion, it is a fact captured by countless surveillance cameras that Captain America, Natasha, Tony, Potts, and others killed a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Air Force personnel.
Therefore, Ger, who was finally able to take a break, opened a spatial door leading to Tony's new villa.
"Ding-dong."
Gel rang the doorbell and looked into the laboratory.
This lab was specially built by Tony in another villa for a group of people to research magic arrays. Compared to other monotonous bright white biological labs, this lab is more mechanized, and the color of the tables is purely the silver of steel itself. In Tony's words, this is called "a more orderly aesthetic."
In the past few days, in order to study the Extremis Serum, Tony has added and removed some experimental equipment, so the laboratory is somewhat different from the one that Gol saw before.
"Master, Mr. Gel is outside the door," Jarvis's mechanical voice announced.
While Tony and Banner were examining the modified blood, Tony said to Jarvis, "Open the door for him."
Banner looked up and saw the wink Gel gave him, glanced at Tony, and then made a helpless shrug at Gel.
Gel probably understood that Banner's side was also likely not making any progress.
On the first day after regaining consciousness, everyone knew what had happened while they were unconscious. Pietro, Peter, Gwen, and Harry hadn't hurt anyone, so they had little to worry about and went on a trip abroad with their frightened Uncle Ben and Aunt May.
Compared to Pietro, Gwen, and Harry, who were controlled by Gel, Wanda, and Peter without harming anyone, Captain America, Natasha, Tony, and Potts, who were passively killed, were now in deep agony.
Captain America has already been assigned a psychologist to provide counseling. Natasha is being counseled by Hawkeye. Potts was the most proactive, voluntarily seeking counseling himself.
Tony is the only one who refuses to accept counseling from a psychologist, so Gail can only ask Banner to counsel Tony while he is cooperating with Tony in the experiment, but so far, Banner has not made any progress either.
"Tony, I have to go out for a bit." Banner put down the glass bottle in his hand and looked at Tony.
Tony nodded slightly but didn't look up, continuing his experiment intently.
Under the bright lights of the laboratory, Gel could clearly see the bruises under Tony's eyes; clearly, Tony hadn't been sleeping well for the past few days.
"How's the research going?" Gerr walked over to Tony, looked at the blood under the microscope, and asked.
“The Extremis Serum is a serum that Stern and Kurt improved upon based on the Extremis virus. And this Extremis virus is somewhat related to me, so the research has been going relatively smoothly,” Tony answered while conducting the experiment. “Stern and Kurt are quite capable; they seem to have incorporated some research findings on the Hulk and the Reptile into the Extremis Serum. While this makes the Extremis Serum more stable and its modification effect on the host stronger, it also makes the requirements for the host higher.”
Back in the underground space, before he was brainwashed, he had heard about the properties of the Extremis Serum from the researchers.
