I became light in American comics.

Chapter 642 The Butterfly Effect

"So... you just took down a bunch of aliens in the Marvel universe?"

Kara lay sprawled on the table, her long, bent legs dangling in the air, her hands cupping her face and her elbows propping up on the table, tilting her head as she sized up Shen You in front of the lab bench.

"More or less. That was about a week ago, and I was there for the entire following week."

"And you're saying those clueless aliens actually captured the Hydra leader to threaten Iron Man?"

At this point, she couldn't help but laugh so hard she was shaking.

"I need to process this, it's just too hilarious."

"Yes. The old man went through a lot of trouble, but he still survived. Oh, and later I also reminded them that the old guy was Hydra, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is Hydra too."

"Huh? How did you remind them? Did you just drop it right in their faces and tell them?"

Kara tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"I don't know. But I think if we put ourselves in their shoes, doesn't this sound a bit too subversive? If a stranger suddenly jumped in my face and said that, I would definitely think that person was either plotting something or playing me for a fool."

"You still think about this much?"

Shen You wore a look of fatherly satisfaction. "Not bad, they've learned to use their brains."

"Of course."

Kara initially puffed out her chest proudly, but upon tasting it, she quickly realized something was amiss.

"Wait a minute. Hey! What do you mean?" Her golden ahoge stood up again, like a cat with its fur standing on end. "I'm usually always using my brain."

"Oh, that was my fault," Shen You apologized readily.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Seriously, what decisive evidence did you gather to show them? And then expose Hydra?"

Why should I do something so complicated?

"Oh right. You seemed to have said that terrorist matters weren't your concern. So..."

"I'll send him a message in a dream, a friendly reminder. I've done this once before, so I think Stark is pretty sensitive to dreams. He'll take it seriously, or at least be skeptical. That's enough."

And you don't really think Fury, after being chief for so many years, never had any doubts about his subordinates, do you?

"Does he have one?" Kara remained blank.

Never mind what I said.

Shen You shrugged and dropped the subject.

But Kara seemed to feel looked down upon again, and her ahoge (cowlick) stood up again: "You were probably thinking that I never use my brain!"

"I didn't say that."

"But that's what you're thinking!"

"I don't deny it."

"Ahhh"

Kara scratched her head in frustration.

He began to reflect on whether he hadn't used his brain enough, and why he had left such a bad impression on Mr. Shen.

I feel like I use my brain more than my cousin!

"It's just a small favor, and it shouldn't be a big problem even if I didn't remind them. After all, you saw in the movie that they eventually realized the Hydra problem and solved it themselves. So I think... um."

At this point, Shen You suddenly paused, his brow furrowing as he pondered that things might not be so simple.

While this is how it unfolds in the MCU movie, the process is incredibly thrilling. In the end, all three of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s airships have taken off and are under Hydra's control. The Zola Algorithm has been inputted, and millions of people calculated by the algorithm to be a threat to Hydra are simultaneously locked onto.

If Captain America and his team had acted even a fraction of a second later, the mothership would have fired all its missiles at once, potentially causing a massive disaster.

While this is true in the movies, it seems the Marvel Universe he inhabits might be different. After all, the Council didn't decide to launch a nuclear missile during the Battle of New York, and Star-Lord's awkward dance on Xandar didn't seem to hold Ronan's attention for long enough.

These are all minor differences, but they can lead to huge differences in the results.

God knows what would have happened in Captain America 2 if it weren't for his little butterfly effect.

Of course, throughout the entire Captain America 2 storyline, Shen You's role was really just a minor one, like the flapping of a butterfly's wings. He didn't even show his face directly; he was on another planet at the time of the incident. He simply left a dream before leaving, revealing the true nature of S.H.I.E.L.D. and mentioning a few high-ranking officials by name.

As a result, the entire storyline of Captain America 2 became somewhat dull and tedious.

"In short, the result is pretty much the same as in the movie. The Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. won, and Hydra was defeated even more decisively than in the original movie." Shen You thought for a moment, "However, S.H.I.E.L.D. was also disbanded. Because the council found out that most of the people they had been supporting over the years were Hydra, they were furious and disbanded the organization. The timeline changed, but in the end, the original history was restored."

Another thing I didn't expect was that they still let the Winter Soldier escape. I guess it's some kind of historical inertia. Oh, and there was a little surprise too.

"What?" Kara asked with great interest.

"Remember when Captain America threw his Mighty Shield at the Winter Soldier in the movie?"

"I remember, I remember, and then Bucky blocked it with that robotic arm." Kara still had a strong impression of that scene. "And then Bucky threw it back at him?"

"Yes, that's the problem." Shen You nodded. "Just last week, Bucky caught the shield that Captain America threw to him. But instead of throwing it back, he just picked it up and ran away."

Kara: "???"

After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Then..."

"Yeah, now the captain doesn't have his shield anymore. Stark temporarily made him an energy shield as a substitute, which can be activated by a device worn on his wrist. It's essentially an energy barrier, but it's been shaped into the same star-shaped shield as before, and can also be thrown around like a frisbee. Of course, it's still quite awkward to use."

So it seems the captain has an extra side quest besides finding his buddies—finding a shield.

Kara: "."

She didn't see the scene, but she could imagine how brutal it was just by imagining it.

"Hmm, so it sounds like in the end it'll be pretty much the same as the original story? S.H.I.E.L.D. disbanded, Hydra went underground. Maybe they'll have another battle later."

"Well, that's not necessarily true. Like I said, Hydra is in a worse state than before." Shen You pondered for a moment and said, "Things have unfolded a little differently."

Remember in the movie's final battle, when Captain America, Falcon, and Black Widow teamed up to infiltrate the three S.H.I.E.L.D. motherships and the Tri-Wing Tower?

"Yes, it was quite a close call for them to take control of the mothership. They almost failed," Kara said.

"Well, none of that happened over there," Shen You said. "In fact, they intercepted Alexander Pierce beforehand, and then Black Widow used her face-changing trick to transform into Pierce and went straight to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s public chat to say that the plan was terminated and the launch was canceled."

Then the crisis was averted, and nothing happened.

Kara: "."
