The machines moved relentlessly as they built something big and sinister under the guise of justice. On the screen, information about every mutant, hero, villain, and other is displayed whilst the scientists create a machine that could rival them, including the greatest heroes like Arthur, Tony, Charles, and the Guardians.
The very existence of their guardians became the sole reason for the creation of mass murder and destruction aka Sentinels.
" The mutants and the superhumans are the next evolution of mankind but we all need Mister Reynolds. Every being with superpowers will destroy the world if they can't be controlled, including the Avengers, the Guardians, and the Xmen. They hold powers that can destroy the entire world and we will stop them with this."
Reynold looked at the robots with a complicated expression. He was just a normal human a few months ago but that serum changed his life forever as he became a person who was recruited by the government to become their next major card against the guardians.
" This doesn't look good. I understand you fear mutants and villains but aren't the guardians good people?"
Hearing his words made Trask snort with a cold face despite Reynold who was dodging his gaze. He believed the hope of humanity didn't rely on the guardians, instead they were in the hands of normal humans.
Meanwhile somewhere in London
Peter leaned on the wall with a pale face. He found himself in the warehouse and he freed himself from the cell while escaping Mysterio's sight but unfortunately, he was powerless.
Every route to his allies was blocked by the mysterious people who were trying to aim for his power.
" Peter!"
Suddenly he heard a familiar voice of his friend, turning his head around to see Ned who was panting with sweat while MJ was holding his suit.
" How did you guys find me?"
Peter asked with a puzzled voice, thinking it might be an illusion of Mysterio.
" Relax, buddy. We found you through your locator. Grandma Adele helped us to find you. She said we have to resolve this quickly before other heroes notice this."
Ned spoke with a serious face, knowing they had to stop Mysterio. If other heroes found out about this incident, Peter could lose his identity to the public since the world was watching the movements of the heroes after the public announcement.
" Thank you guys!"
Peter sniffed softly while picking up his old suit. He felt his heart beat faster as he raised his head to look at his friends.
" We are friends, Pet!"
The trio laughed while hugging each other to encourage themselves amidst the struggle.
Bang*
" Steve, it is time to rest. Sharon is missing her father."
A little girl peeked behind Peggy who was stroking her belly with a happy face. This was their second child to have and they already named it after the child who helped Peggy through the labor.
" Ian is feeling a little energetic today."
Peggy laughed gently while Steve hugged both of his treasured family members. This was the image that he dreamed of for eternity and he got it thanks to Arthur but somehow his heart was feeling turbulent after witnessing the broadcast of the government.
His iconic shield was being held in the arms of some unknown man while the people that he entrusted it with gave it away.
" Do you still regret it, Steve?"
Peggy whispered to his ear as Steve trembled with uncertainty. Perhaps she understood that Captain America was more than just a symbol to him. It was his legacy and his life that was dedicated to others.
" I am fine, Peggy. Sharon must be hungry after waiting for a long time. It is time to go home."
Steve didn't mention his shield, knowing sooner or later it would belong to someone who was truly worthy of it. However, this time he had to move by himself for the shield was a symbol of peace.
Looking at the screen, Arthur sighed with a helpless face. He saw through Steve's plan and knew this was bound to create friction between them and the UN security members, but he didn't want to stop it.
" It is time to unravel the next phase of our plan."
He said with a calm face, looking at Thor, Loki, and Hela who were sitting there with him.
" Asgard shall be born once again."
Hela nodded her head to affirm that they were there.
