I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 656 Avengers Academy

Nobody likes long lectures, and Peter knew that well, but sometimes it's important to let young people know what they're facing. Some people believe that young superpowered individuals need training, experience, and guidance.

But Peter felt it was even more important to let aspiring superheroes know the risks they would face, just as every firefighter knows that their job involves rushing into a fire and risking their life. Only by letting everyone know the risks and what kind of path they were about to embark on could they truly understand the risks.

Oh, and besides that, you also have to remember to go to school, so Peter told Nova that he would take him to the Sky Sword Bureau after school.

"As a result, because Harry was kidnapped, we were dismissed early, and I had to pretend to have rushed over from outside, which delayed me for a little while."

Peter was at S.W.O.R.D. talking to Tony and Captain America about what had happened, while not far away, Nova was yelling nonsense like, "Oh my god, I'm in space!" Didn't this kid realize after getting the Nova helmet that it allowed him to breathe in space?

The superheroes these days are getting worse and worse.

"So, you thought these little brats needed some training, so you dragged us up here?"

Looking at the rising stars not far away, Tony mostly felt that it was making a mountain out of a molehill. He even brought up the words of the captain from back then: "And you know, not everyone wants these kids to be trained. Some people think that children shouldn't go to the battlefield."

The captain glanced at Tony, somewhat speechless, then looked at Peter: "I agree with your views on superheroes and responsibilities. I also know what the consequences are if a soldier doesn't know why he's fighting. Veterans from my generation had PTSD every day because they wondered why they were the ones who survived and wanted to avenge their comrades. Today's veterans just feel like they're executioners. So I'd like to hear your opinion."

"What exactly is your opinion?"

“It’s very simple, Captain. At first, I was just going to see what these ‘youngsters’ would do, but when I found out about Richard Ryder’s situation, I suddenly realized that no one taught them about the risks, the consequences, and the responsibilities. If we don’t do something about this, the consequences could be dire.”

Peter explained his point of view: "But that's not the worst part. These people might get so discouraged while being superheroes that they give up or become villains, and if we do something, we can prevent that."

“Typical Spider-Man thinking,” Tony commented. “If we do something, we can avoid some bad things; if we don’t, it’ll be a real problem.”

The captain paused for a second or two, then asked, "How troublesome is it?"

“If we don’t do it, then someone else might—the Pentagon, S.H.I.E.L.D., or even the Nine Ones lurking behind the scenes…”

Before Peter could even finish saying the name Hydra, Tony immediately realized what he meant and looked at the captain: "You know what, Captain, I think this kid is right. Can you imagine what it would be like if the White House or Nick Fury trained these kids? Oh, Nick Fury has already started doing that."

Tony harbors a deep distrust of the US government and S.H.I.E.L.D. (in fact, not many people trust them, but Tony is particularly prone to this), so when he understood Peter's thoughts, he immediately offered his advice, while the Captain continued to ponder the matter.

If the White House or S.H.I.E.L.D. were to train new superhumans, would they be able to tell these newcomers what kind of situations they might face at any given moment?

“And the Avengers have the prestige to stop all of this. As soon as we announce that we’re starting to train young new Avengers, all the young people who want to do this job will flock to us, and nobody will care about Nick Fury’s mess.” Tony added, still trying to bolster Captain’s confidence, “And we have the facilities, Captain, don’t forget our plan, this will come in handy, and a new base for the Avengers.”

"plan?"

Peter didn't quite understand what Tony was talking about. He knew that Tony was building a new Avengers base in New Jersey, a huge base with a usable area dozens of times larger than Avengers Tower.

But what is the plan?
"Project Greenwich, also known as Project 24, is a project that Tony and I discussed together. It was initially called Project Fifty States, which aimed to find superpowered individuals in fifty states, train them to become superheroes, and, when necessary, assemble them as an army to fight the enemy."

Tony picked up where the captain left off and continued to explain: "And soon, we chose to expand this plan further. We hope to cooperate with superheroes all over the world to ensure that there is a sufficiently good and powerful superhero team in every time zone."

A massive organization that has set aside national hatred and united to assemble when the Earth faces a crisis; a plan to ensure a rapid response no matter where on Earth is attacked. This plan is named after a standard time zone, Greenwich Mean Time.

"I agree."

After listening to Peter and Tony's words, the captain nodded: "We may not need these kids to go to the battlefield, but we need to guide them. We can't leave this to anyone else, whether it's the White House or S.H.I.E.L.D., it's the same."

"We want to establish an academy, perhaps a police academy or a military academy, to not only teach them how to fight, but also to guide them on what is right."

After confirming the matter, the captain looked at Tony and Peter, glancing back and forth: "What do you two think of the name Avengers Academy?"

It's pretty good, just a bit hasty.

As Peter pondered this, he listened to the captain's excited question: "So, where do we begin?"

"Let's start with Rising Stars. There's a perfect teaching material here."

Peter had just finished speaking when he heard a rather ominous sound behind him. Turning around, he saw Nova, with a bucket of water on his head, being slammed against the wall by something.

But what was even more troublesome was not that he had taken flight, but that in the chaos, Richard Ryder released energy from his hands and burned a hole in the Sky Sword Bureau's warship.

Peter and Tony looked at the captain, who sighed with his head down.

　late, sorry
