American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

"Patton, Romanov, you two are both excellent, you are both respectable warriors!" Thor immediately praised Patton and Black Widow with a face full of admiration.

Captain America also looked on with admiration.

As a veteran with somewhat "conservative" ideas, what he liked most were soldiers who were trustworthy enough to entrust one's life to.

Black Widow and Hawkeye Barton are both very much to Captain America's liking.

"Natasha, promise me, if something similar ever happens again, please, please don't do anything foolish like that again, okay?" Hawkeye Barton said to Black Widow with a serious expression.

"So, can you?" Black Widow glanced at Hawkeye Barton and asked casually.

Hawkeye Barton laughed. Of course he wouldn't agree, so he knew Black Widow wouldn't either.

“Like I said, you’re annoying, you know that?” Hawkeye Barton laughed.

"Now that you two have finished your 'family confessions,' can we summarize the footage we just saw?"

Tony Stark interrupted the two of them in a very unromantic way.

The atmosphere at the mention of this became slightly somber, because the previous footage had revealed a horrifying and painful reality:

In the future, billions of people will die!

The exact reason is unknown, but this extremely exaggerated number still shocked everyone.

There are only seven billion people on Earth!

In other words, the total population of the Earth is only "a few billion", but in the future, several billion people suddenly die!

This was absolutely devastating.

How can we help everyone calm down?

"First of all, billions of people on Earth will die in the future. Who killed them and how did they die?"

Captain America spoke to everyone with a serious expression.

This is a very insightful question. It's not just a few million or tens of millions of people, but billions. No war could possibly kill that many people!

Unless it's a large-scale nuclear launch from Earth, that would be more likely.

Besides, no one really could imagine how so many people could die all at once.

"Everyone, do you remember that question about Director Fury?" Black Widow seemed to recall something, glancing at everyone as she reminded them.

“Those billions of people may have turned to ashes just like Nick Fury and the others!” Thor immediately recalled, his eyes gleaming.

Even Thor remembered it, so it goes without saying that Captain America and Tony Stark also realized it.

And they all agreed wholeheartedly.

Everyone could see it clearly at the time; many people on the street inexplicably turned into ashes, and even the pilots of airplanes in the sky were affected.

But the footage never explains that this only happened on one street!

What if it happened in a city?

What if it happened all over the planet?

In that case, it's possible that billions of people on Earth could die!

Based on all the information we have and our current understanding, apart from the scenario of turning to ashes, we can't think of any other more reasonable or convincing reason.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean by turning to ashes?" Dr. Banner asked from the side, unaware of the situation.

Captain America then showed the footage to Dr. Banner and Hawkeye, leaving the two of them completely bewildered.

He was quite provoked.

"So Thanos did this again?" Black Widow couldn't help but speculate.

The "annihilation" incident occurred during the "Wakanda War," and there was sufficient reason to speculate that Thanos was the mastermind behind it.

After all, the situation where Thanos's army was wiped out after Iron Man snapped his fingers in Endgame was exactly the same as Nick Fury's situation.

Thanos also tried to snap his fingers several times after the gauntlet was taken away.

Although Thanos was stopped by everyone in that battle, who knows if Thanos had fought before?

And frankly speaking, aside from the Infinity Stones, no one really believes that any other power could kill billions of people.

"Thanos! It's Thanos again!" Tony Stark said, somewhat indignantly.

To date, Thanos has been suspected of being the mastermind behind countless events.

This guy is truly a lingering nightmare in everyone's minds.

"Romanov said that obtaining the Soul Stone could save billions of people. We don't know exactly how to save them, but the importance of the Soul Stone is self-evident."

Captain America, with a serious expression, said to everyone, "Stark, can you use Jarvis to search that place shown in the footage globally?"

“Of course, that’s no problem.” Tony Stark shrugged. “However, that place might not be Earth, and it would be more appropriate to leave this to Nick Fury. Doesn’t he have clairvoyance?”

Tony Stark's suggestion was indeed quite reasonable, and Captain America didn't say much, just nodded.

If Nick Fury can use his clairvoyance to find Red Skull, then everything will be fine, needless to say.

But if Nick Fury can't find Red Skull, it means Red Skull isn't on Earth.

Therefore, it is only natural that the place shown in the image is not on Earth.

"There's something else very strange, and I believe you've noticed it too," Dr. Banner then raised another point of doubt, "How many Soul Stones are there in this world?"

"Agent Romanov said Thanos has taken the Soul Stone, but the Soul Stone shouldn't be there anymore."

"But Agent Barton still obtained the Soul Stone from there!"

Everyone looked at each other, but couldn't figure out what to do; there were simply too few clues.

"Perhaps Thanos obtained the Soul Stone, but then, for some reason, put it back?"

Tony Stark shrugged. "Maybe the Soul Stone flew back on its own! Who knows?"

They gathered together and chatted for a while longer.

Although this question revealed some very important information to them, unfortunately, they were unable to make any preparations.

Or rather, the only preparation we can make is to try and see if we can find the location of that mysterious cliff.

[Here's a question: On the night Nick Fury was killed, he gave Captain America a USB drive. Who did Captain America turn to for help? Ultimately, he managed to extract the secret of the USB drive from a Hydra agent.]

A. Iron Man, Tony Stark

【B. Falcon Sam Wilson】

【C. Hawkeye Barton Clint】

【D. Buckybarnes】

[Friendly reminder: Those who answer correctly will receive a Batmobile of any version as a reward;]

Those who answer incorrectly will have one attribute of their own deducted randomly, including but not limited to knowledge, experience, skills, possessions, etc.

Soon, a new question appeared, temporarily interrupting everyone's discussion.

For now, everyone's attention is focused on the latest questions.

This question, however, is about Captain America.

"The night Nick Fury was killed."

Black Widow immediately realized the specific event in the question, "Captain, this is the one you were talking about last time, when you were wanted by Secretary Pierce and escaped from S.H.I.E.L.D."

“Good!” Captain America nodded.

Then he briefly recounted the events to Dr. Banner and Hawkeye Barton, who were unaware of the incident.

The two of them then understood the situation.

"The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was killed. Before he died, he told Captain America not to trust anyone. Captain America was then ordered to be wanted by S.H.I.E.L.D."

Hawkeye Barton shrugged. "But even in this situation, the captain still chose to ask someone for help. Whoever that person is, it must be someone the captain trusts very much."

“Stark, the future Captain is an Avenger. Although the Civil War broke out, we can see that Stark was sincerely thinking about the Captain during the Civil War.”

"Before the civil war, they must have been close comrades... Moreover, we don't even know when the civil war broke out."

"Sam Wilson? He chose to help Captain America during the Civil War and also got involved in sabotaging Project Insight."

"Hawkeye Barton Clint, like Sam Wilson, helped Captain America during the Civil War. He's not just a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, but also an Avenger."

“If we’re talking about people the captain trusts a lot, these three are all very likely candidates.” Black Widow glanced at the “candidates” in the options and began to speak eloquently to everyone.

"And what about Bucky Barnes?" Hawkeye Barton asked from the side. "You said before that he was an assassin controlled by Hydra?"

Chapter 141 Captain America: The New Batman

"Bucky's situation is very complicated. Although he used to be an assassin controlled by Hydra, there is a high probability that he later broke away from Hydra."

Captain America began his introduction to everyone with a serious expression.

"If Bucky were still that Hydra assassin, there wouldn't be so many people choosing to help me and Bucky in Civil War."

"Besides, didn't Stark say before that Bucky will also participate in the Endgame and fight Thanos with everyone?"

Everyone largely agreed with Captain America's words.

If Bucky Barnes were still the Winter Soldier, why would Hawkeye Barton, Sam Wilson, and the other enhanced beings choose to help Captain America?

People may not know much about characters like Sam Wilson, Ant-Man Scott Lang, and Scarlet Witch, so they're not worth referring to, but just looking at Hawkeye Patton is enough.

He and Black Widow have just put on a show of "competing to die," revealing their true character to everyone.

Nobody really believed that Hawkeye Barton would help a heinous Hydra assassin.

Not to mention, Captain America also endorsed this matter.

Who is Captain America?

That person has been a spiritual role model since World War II!

The possibility that Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, will leave Hydra and "start anew" is still quite high, and people are willing to believe it.

“Bucky Barnes was a member of the Howling Commandos, and was once the captain’s comrade-in-arms and partner. If he had already left Hydra at that time, and the captain happened to need to ask someone for help.”
