Natasha Romanoff's help made everyone's attention suddenly shifted from Leon to her.
"Natasha Romanoff, what do you mean by this? Don't you know about the scepter too?!"
Steve's question was like a sharp arrow that accurately shot into the depths of his heart. Stark, who was still angry, suddenly remembered Natasha Romanoff's betrayal when he entered the Stark industry, cheated him of his trust, and lurked around him for surveillance.
Although time has passed for a long time, Natasha Romanoff has also become his teammate.
However, Stark still had some lumps in his heart.
This is also one of the reasons why he does not catch a cold with S.H.I.E.L.D.
After all, no one wants to be surrounded by an undercover spy who reports to his superiors at any time.
However, Stark thought that Leon was the only trustworthy exception to S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, in the end, he discovered that this good friend who got along well with him still had something to hide from him.
Maybe this is the real reason why Stark is angry…
Turning around, he sat down on a single sofa, Stark leaned on the backrest, his eyes were on Leon and Natasha Romanoff, and he kept moving back and forth:
"I really didn't expect you spies to move the secrets of your work into your daily life."
As he spoke, Stark's words became sharper.
"Knowing the truth of the matter, but looking at us like a fool, ignorant, how does it feel? Are you very happy? Are you very proud?"
"If it wasn't for the two teenagers who suddenly came to ask for trouble, what the scepter didn't see, do you plan to keep hiding it like this?!"
Hearing Stark's unconsciously raised voice, Natasha Romanoff couldn't help but pursed her lips. and gave Stark a cold glance, and said directly:
"Oh, please! Tony, don't be like a tantrum! I'm not yours, I don't need to report everything to you."
"Besides, there is a reason why I didn't tell you about this matter…"
While speaking, Natasha Romanoff's gaze couldn't help looking at Leon, who was silent, seeking his advice with his eyes.
Say, or not?
Natasha Romanoff's small eyes, Steve standing beside his chest with his hands clasped, had a panoramic view.
Steve frowned and said:
"Natasha Romanoff, Leon, the reason why we are a team is not how powerful we are, nor is it because we save the world, but because we trust each other. Only when we trust, we will trust each other and trust us Being able to overcome everything has created the current team!"
Speaking of this, Steve's resolute eyes could not help being fixed on Leon, who had a thoughtful look on his face, meaning to point out:
"You know, we are Avengers, not S.H.I.E.L.D…"
Hearing this, Leon couldn't help blinking his eyes, as if he had made a decision in his heart, he was about to speak.
At this moment, another S.H.I.E.L.D agent, "Hawkeye" Clint, who was leaning on the sofa, spoke suddenly.
"Hey, guys! Actually it's not a big deal."
Shrugging and spreading his hands, Clint put on an indifferent look, and continued to add:
"Perhaps Leon just felt that this matter was being processed and had not yet reached the point where we could take action, so he didn't tell us. Look, he didn't tell me either…"
"I believe that he didn't deliberately want to hide this from us."
"You say yes? Bruce?"
Suddenly by cue's Banner, he was taken aback for a while, and then he saw Clint's frantic wink, and it was also immediately clear.
A team certainly cannot have fun every day, and there will definitely be some contradictions or disputes.
When the dispute or contradiction rises to a certain level, it is especially important to ease the anger of the atmosphere and the occasion, and the existence of the old people.
In the Avengers alliance with different personalities and different roles, it is Clint and Banner who are responsible for the old roles of peace.
Clint has already started a family, so he doesn't care much about many things. From the perspective of the problem, he is also the most mature among the people.
As for Banner, his character is inherently docile, coupled with the long-term control of anger, and the otaku attribute of the scientist, it has created a good temper.
In such a tense atmosphere, someone needs to cool it down…
I saw Banner in a gray coat sitting not far from Natasha Romanoff, nodded, and said to Tony:
"Yeah, I believe Leon, and I didn't mean to conceal us. Tony, you are a little sensitive…"
With the help of the two, the tension that permeated the entire living room could not help but ease a little.
At this time, Stark also realized that he seemed to have overreacted.
However, because of face and self-esteem, he is unwilling to just bow his head like this.
And just as he struggled, the "participant" who had not made a sound finally spoke again!
"I know, I shouldn't hide the scepter from you. However, the secrets involved are so important, I'm not sure whether to involve you too…"
"Besides, I can't just go out of a personal relationship like this, ignore S.H.I.E.L.D's rules and regulations, and leak information."
Hearing that, Steve and Stark stretched a little between the frowning eyebrows.
Leon's explanation continues:
"Since this is the end of the matter, and you all want to know the truth, then I don't have to continue to hide it…"
"The scepter and Maximoff twins all involve an evil organization with a very long history, and this organization, I think Steve, you are not unfamiliar…"
Hearing this meaningful sentence, Steve frowned slightly, and the string in his mind suddenly tensed.
Evil, long history, no stranger to myself…
These clues, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, slowly pieced together into a pattern that wanted in his mind.
"Could it be…"
Just as there were waves in Steve's heart, Leon twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, a sneer appeared on his face, and then he said in a deep voice:
"Actually, the scepter was stolen by unknown forces as early as half a year ago. As for the power that stole it, after a follow-up investigation by S.H.I.E.L.D, we finally found a shadow hidden in the dark among various cobweb horse trails…"
"Our enemy has a famous name called…"
Speaking of this, Leon couldn't help but pause, his eyes flashed across the crowd, and slowly said the familiar and unfamiliar name:
"HYDRA (Hydra)!!!"
