New York, Clarion Daily.
“Don’t you have anything fresh to bring out?”
The newspaper owner named “J-Jonah-James” angrily threw a stack of prepared news materials on the table.
This mean-spirited and vicious young man recently inherited this small newspaper from his father that had been in business since World War II.
Different from the kindness and kindness of the old James, the young James has a short temper, likes to ridicule others, and his mouth is not forgiving.
These days, almost all the employees of the Daily Bugle have been scolded by him.
“Let me see, huh, Tony Stark… a rich second-generation who just graduated from MIT, except his lace is a scandal every day, you have nothing else to report?”
With a loud voice, James said in a loud voice, “New Yorkers like to read gossip, but they are not interested in the prostitute life of a slutty boy who has the reputation of being a genius and is useless except for girls!”
“If you want to dig, you should also keep an eye on Howard Stark. For example, Stark and his son went to a nightclub together, and they were jealous of a stripper… This is the big news!”
The employee, who shrank his neck and endured the boss’s scolding, reminded weakly: “Howard Stark is the chief scientific research consultant of S.H.I.E.L.D. Kill on the spot.”
James’ incessant venomous voice stopped abruptly, he scratched his head, and changed the subject: “Howard Stark can’t do it, then you go dig up mutants, the one who often appears on TV endings, the guy named…Charles, Or another one, called Magnet King? Metal King? Anyway, it’s the mutant who will control metal!”
“Magnetic King.”
The employee corrected.
“You still need to say it? It’s really not good. You can find some material, write a memoir about Superman’s sleep, or interview the retired Captain America.”
Because his father is alive and well, Tony Stark failed to inherit the family business and become a young rich man.
Losing the identity of the helm of Stark Industries, just relying on the name of genius is far from attracting the attention of the public.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Daily Bugle, it is not so attractive.
In the original timeline, Tony Stark is the darling of the newspaper office who supports half of the New York paparazzi by himself.
“Boss, I got a message!”
The female secretary walking in high heels, holding a mobile phone, walked in.
“My best friend’s boyfriend, the uncle of the girlfriend of his former high school classmate… A staff member at the SHIELD press office, he told me that SHIELD has big news.”
James was almost dazed by the complicated relationship, and he only captured the keywords “SHIELD” and “big news”.
Unlike S.H.I.E.L.D., which is controlled by the director of Ludan, Luke did not deliberately hide its existence.
Therefore, the public knows that behind this complex organization of the five major countries is responsible for international crises.
“Find a way to get in!”
James clapped his palms excitedly. A tabloid newspaper such as Horn Daily, which has no big group background and no official certification, naturally could not get the invitation letter.
“You can spend as much as you want, but you must not fall behind other media!”
…
…
When S.H.I.E.L.D. was going to hold a press conference, the major media swarmed like sharks smelling blood.
Some newspapers that were not invited also tried their best to sneak into the venue.
Even if only a few photos are taken, the headlines in the next few days are guaranteed.
Half an hour later, on the twenty-second floor of the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building on the Potomac River.
The hall was crowded with reporters from various newspapers, and the long guns and short cannons were aimed at the stage.
“Isn’t the speaker today Ms. Carter?”
Some reporters rushed to the suspicious.
As the current supreme commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., Peggy is usually the spokesperson.
originally,
The latter had thought about giving this task to Howard, who liked to be in the limelight the most.
But after trying it a few times, I found that this man who has married and had children, started a family and entered a middle age, loves to play freely every time.
It made the conference scene very unserious, like a talk show scene.
Therefore, Peggy still chose herself, and Howard was strictly forbidden to touch the microphone again.
“What’s the news? I remember such a big battle a few years ago, or because the mutants made a big incident in the Middle East.”
Another reporter guessed.
As SHIELD, which is positioned as an international institution, SHIELD does not specifically follow the orders of any country.
A few years ago, the Ten Rings Gang was very violent in the Middle East.
After contacting the White Queen Emma and obtaining approval.
S.H.I.E.L.D. sent Magneto and his Brotherhood to that chaotic place.
Later, a guy who claimed to be a Manchu appeared, and he was the master behind the Ten Rings Gang.
The young Magneto and the opponent fought hard, and they had a winner and loser.
In the end, the Shenspear Bureau came forward and brought the Manchus back to the Celestial Dynasty.
However, because the impact of that time was too great, it caused pressure in public opinion.
S.H.I.E.L.D. specifically came forward to explain, and held Magneto as the leader of the younger generation of mutants.
“Start in two minutes!”
Natasha, with burgundy wavy hair, tried the microphone and said to the media under the stage after checking other equipment.
The latter turned on the camera one after another, and prepared pens and small books.
Two minutes later, a tall figure came out of the backstage.
Before he spoke, there was an uproar in the audience.
The flash, the sound of pressing the shutter, the sluggish expressions of those reporters… all prove the meaning of this person.
Because of his appearance, the whole world will once again undergo huge changes.
…
…
On the other side, the secret base of the Skrulls.
They wore human appearances and gathered in a dark room.
Among them are politicians, businessmen, and even senior agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
“S.H.I.E.L.D. had a press conference just now. Is there any news from the scene?”
Just finished meeting the Skrull leader of “Nick Fury” and walked into the room.
“Just a few minutes ago, I received news that two compatriots have disappeared. It is likely that Peggy Carter found something wrong and wanted to disclose the news of the Skrulls.”
The Skuru, who looked like a senator, sneered and said, “Then people will only treat her as a lunatic. When everyone denies the truth, then the truth will become false.”
The Imperial advance troops, adept at infiltration, reconnaissance, and chaos, know nothing better of this routine.
They have created large-scale wars on no less than twenty planets, causing one race and civilization to perish.
Earth is the next target.
“There’s news coming back.”
said the Skrull, posing as a White House aide.
He turned on the projector in his hand and broadcasted the live broadcast of the press conference.
“I am Superman.”
The tall man standing on the stage said softly.
Metal armor, dark red cloak, and the young face that has appeared in documentaries and promotional films countless times.
The reporters in the audience were stunned.
This is the real big news!
Superman is back!
Open your eyes from deep sleep, walk out of the dormant cabin, and return to the human world!
The Skrulls in the room also opened their mouths, and they never got any relevant news at all.
When did Peggy Carter, who was under 24-hour surveillance, wake up Superman?
The Skrulls even controlled Nick Fury. How could they have not heard of such a big thing?
“what should I do now?”
The members of the Imperial Advance Force all looked at “Howard Stark”, their leader.
“Would you like to…consider a strategic retreat? Wait until you find out about Superman’s true combat power, and then fight back?”
someone suggested.
If Superman is really as powerful as those documentaries and propaganda films say, then only an advance force of the Skrull Empire may not be able to handle this operation.
“We are all elites of the empire, are we still afraid of a human being on Earth?”
Some people disagree.
The Skrull leader was silent. He raised his right hand and entered the entry “Superman” into his watch, wanting to get more information.
Then, all kinds of news from the galaxy popped up in an instant.
After a few minutes, the Skrull leader, who had finished browsing, wiped a cold sweat and made a decision.
“Hurry up and retreat, let those people inside S.H.I.E.L.D. find a way to escape, and don’t take any risky behavior.”
The rest of the Skrulls were dumbfounded, how could they be so quick and decisive?
Even the faction that advocates surrender is considering shrinking its power and waiting for a few days.
It would be too embarrassing to run straight away!
“This planet is too scary! We must retreat without delay!”
The Skrull leader remembered the description of Superman’s combat power, and he couldn’t help but fight a cold war.
If those are true, then Earth is likely to be one of the most dangerous places in the galaxy right now!
