Odin was worried about the Infinity Stone. Wesley had two gemstones, and although he could only use one, there was no such powerful force in the Realm of the Gods. Although Wesley could not threaten the Realm of the Gods now, like SHIELD, it was inevitable for those in power to plan ahead.
In order to defend against the Divine Realm or other aliens, SHIELD could study the Tesseract, so the Divine Realm would naturally study something. So Odin asked Thor to send SHIELD experts back to Earth while looking for Loki's scepter.
As for the process of the Chitari attacking Earth and the method of closing the space door, Odin believed that Loki's scepter must also be an infinite gem. Otherwise, it would not be able to close the space door opened by the Tesseract. Without relative power, it would be useless.
Saul comes to S.H.I.E.L.D. again and asks for Loki's scepter, but the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Maria Hill, finds that the scepter is gone.
S.H.I.E.L.D. launched another investigation on this matter. Since the last war, the scepter has been sealed and preserved by S.H.I.E.L.D. This time, S.H.I.E.L.D. has no intention of studying it. After all, it has been taught a lesson. However, Nine-Headed Body was still there at that time, and the two sides have not completely started a war. At the same time, the surveillance was not very good. After the Structure Scepter was stolen, it was still not discovered.
When Saul heard the news, he did not dismiss Thunder. Instead, he asked S.H.I.E.L.D. to assist in the search. Then he went to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters himself. At this time, Wesley had just left the United States with Stephen Strange and went to Nepal to find Kamar-Taj.
The two of them passed each other by, and Wesley didn't know that Loki's scepter had been lost. His subconscious thought that Hydra had been destroyed by them, but he forgot about one man, Baron Straker. It seemed that this man had been alive since World War II, but Wesley had forgotten about the guy who didn't have much presence in the movies, and Apple hadn't warned him because there was no danger.
Saul arrived at the Avengers headquarters. Looking at the Avengers headquarters that covered a large area, Saul was very excited and hurried inside.
His attire was very eye-catching. He was wearing armor and a bright red cloak. He was holding a square-headed hammer in his hand, so all the staff at the headquarters knew him, Thor.
Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanov, the resident, received him, while Bruce Banner was doing research in the aboveground lab and was not seen for several days.
"Saul, why are you here? Did you just arrive on Earth?" Steve Rogers asked.
"Yes, I sent S.H.I.E.L.D. experts back. In the meantime, I want to go back with Loki's scepter, but S.H.I.E.L.D. has only now discovered that the scepter is missing, and they have begun to look for it," Saul said.
"What? You lost that scepter?" Steve Rogers asked in an instant.
'Yes,' Saul replies.
"I told you, SHIELD should probably be disbanded." Steve Rogers sat on the sofa angrily.
Natasha Romanov didn't see it that way. She said to the two of them, "It was lost before the battle at headquarters, right? Hydra can't be helped from the inside. We should think so. If SHIELD is disbanded, then more things will be lost. You don't know enough about the United States. Here, as long as you give money, they will dare to sell many things."
Steve Rogers was not ignorant when he had just thawed. He was just angry. Recently, he had been trying to pull his good friend Sam Wilson into the Avengers, which was the Falcon. Although Sam Wilson participated in the headquarters battle, there was no place for him in the Avengers. The current members were all members of the New York Battle.
Saul said indifferently, "There's no need to rush. Just take it back after you find the scepter. Did Wesley and Tony set up this headquarters? It feels good. Is there a room for me?"
"Yes, let me show you. Bruce is in the underground laboratory. Wesley is out on business. Tony may come tonight. When we find the location of the scepter, we will go and get it together." Natasha Romanov took Saul to see the room, and Steve Rogers sat there thinking about something.
S.H.I.E.L.D. moved quickly and immediately began to look for clues. They were now holding thousands of Hydra members. Many of the Hydra executives were still active outside, using their funds and information to find various intelligence agencies in the United States to get away with it.
Strictly speaking, Hydra was not completely destroyed, and this was decided by the United States. They would protect some illegal people for their own benefit. Regarding this, SHIELD could only argue with the United States. Maria Hill was also in a terrible fix. She was not as cunning as Nick Fury.
And Nick Fury hadn't been seen since his fake death. No one could find out where he was, and he had a lot of resources and money on hand. There was nothing the American intelligence agency could do about it. He also suspected that Nick Fury wasn't dead, but he didn't dare dig his grave to see.
S.H.I.E.L.D. began a new round of interrogation on the information about the scepter, and many of the Hydra members were diehards, but not all of them. Finally, some clues were found, and the clues led directly to Baron Stucklar. This person is still very young, and S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't know much about what he has done, but it doesn't stop us from finding him.
Following the clues and some past flow of funds from Hydra, the clues lead to an ancient castle in Cosovia.
Two weeks later, S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence personnel confirmed that there were a large number of armed men patrolling the outer perimeter of the ancient castle in Cosovia. At the same time, there were also some bunkers. This place had existed for a long time, and it was very difficult to understand the situation inside.
Maria Hill contacted the Avengers and Tony Stark answered the phone. "Okay, got it. Leave this to us. There's no problem at all." Tony was so free that he finally had something to do. This was the first operation since the Avengers opened, and he couldn't wait to set off.
Then Tony Stark gathered all the people except Wesley in the Avengers' special living room. "Okay, guys, it's time for us to show our skills. The other party is a remnant of Hydra. This is our first operation. We must do it well."
Bruce Banner asked, "Aren't we going to call Wesley?"
Tony Stark shook his head and said, "He must have something important to do. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been gone for so long. And there are so many of us. Can't we take down a castle?"
