"So what does everyone think?"
After all the outsiders left, the Avengers gathered in the lounge again to discuss this major event that could affect the future of the entire Avengers Alliance.
After Steve asked, Sam spoke first: "I don't agree. If we sign this agreement, the government will soon track us like ordinary criminals!"
"Ha! 117 countries are ready to sign this agreement! Yes, 117! But you don't care, Sam!" Colonel Rhodes immediately retorted with a sneer.
"So whose side are you on?"
Just when the two were about to quarrel, the silent Vision suddenly said: "I have a calculation formula, everyone can listen to it."
"Ever since Mr. Tony Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man, the number of superpowers who have chosen to reveal their identities has increased exponentially over the years. And during the same period, major events that could potentially destroy the world have also increased in the same proportion."
"So you're saying this is actually our fault?" Steve asked in confusion.
"I mean maybe there is a causal relationship, our capabilities attract challenges, and then breed disasters. So I don't think we should be completely opposed and resist regulation."
"Right, that is it!"
At this moment, Steve suddenly turned his eyes to Dio who was reading the Sokovia Accords, and the taciturn Tony.
"Dio, tell me what you think."
"Me? I'm just here to watch the fun. I never joined the Avengers, so some people's plans might be ruined."
"Come on, you and I both know that the United Nations won't let a humanoid 'cough' bomb like you wander around."
"Indeed, I also saw this on it..."
Dio smiled sarcastically, then turned the thick Sokovia Accords to a certain page and threw it on the table.
"Not only do they want to monitor my personal freedom, they also plan to take away everything from me, including my spaceship, my alien subordinates, and the alien technology I have. These shameless people even made up all kinds of excuses for this. So do you think I will sign such an idiotic agreement?"
Others gathered around to check out the relevant content.
Sure enough, it clearly stated the conditions that Dio had mentioned, and used all kinds of high-sounding reasons, and mentioned words like "for the peaceful development of the world, for the safety of the earth" countless times, as if Dio would be a sinner to the whole world if he did not accept such terms.
Now even Vision and Colonel Rhodes, who had just clearly expressed their support for signing the agreement, were silent.
It’s just that they don’t say it, but someone dares to say it!
"A spaceship that can easily wipe out a city with one shot. Oh my god, aren't you afraid?"
Tony, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, walked to the coffee machine and said in surprise.
"Tony, I know you've made your decision, but don't be sarcastic. Otherwise, no matter how many iron suits you have, they will be wasted. I can easily dismantle them into a pile of scrap metal."
Although he didn't know what had happened to Tony recently, Dio never tolerated his bad habits.
"Yes, I admit that you are powerful. You have such ability and I cannot beat you. But I still have to say that I agree to sign this agreement 100% because we need this kind of restraint."
"From what I know about you, you can do anything after being provoked. Maybe some people will care about the weight of 117 countries, but you won't. You can even teach those people a profound lesson, just like Ultron did before, easily destroying a city, or a country..."
"Enough! Tony! Do you know what you are talking about!?" Steve angrily stopped him from continuing to say those crazy words.
"It's okay. He's right. I don't care about the consequences. I will kill anyone who opposes me! It's that simple! So you'd better tell those guys in the United Nations not to think about provoking me again, otherwise they can't afford the consequences."
Dio didn't get angry but laughed instead. After leaving these words, he left the lounge directly.
As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together. It is impossible to argue who is right or wrong in this matter, or rather, everyone has their own choice.
In order not to hand over the Iron Man armor, Tony chose to confront Congress, but in the end he both succeeded and failed, because he still compromised and handed over the war machine to his good friend Colonel Rhodes.
Today, since he was able to persuade Dio to hand over the powerful technology that could threaten the world, it proved that he was ready to go all the way.
He wants to take responsibility for his mistakes, he wants to atone for what he has done, and there is nothing wrong with that.
But he should not force others to accept his ideas.
Others shouldn't have to pay for his mistakes, it's not fair!
So when Dio left and Tony released the information of the black youth who died because of him, not everyone felt as remorseful and guilty as he did.
"We have no decision-making process at all. We must take responsibility, no matter what form it takes. If we don't accept restrictions, we will be lawless. What's the difference between that and bad guys?"
"Tony, listen, I also feel guilty for those who died, but that was the best we could do. Dio warned you at the beginning, but you chose to go your own way. After the tragedy, you stand here and say that we lack a decision-making process and need to be restrained. Don't you think this is very contradictory to what you have done?"
Steve said with a frown.
"Yes, that's right! I admit that I was wrong! And it is precisely because I realized my mistake that I hope no one will make the same mistake again in the future. This is one of the reasons why I hope everyone will sign this agreement!"
"When I realized the disastrous consequences of my weapons falling into the wrong hands, I closed the weapons department and never made them again."
"Tony, you 'chose' to do this! If we sign this agreement, it means we give up the right to choose. What if that group sends us to a place we shouldn't go, or prevents us from doing what we should do?"
Tony turned his head helplessly, then said expressionlessly: "If we don't accept this agreement now, we will be forced to accept it in the future. This is the reality!"
Just when everyone was immersed in the argument, Steve received a short message.
"She has passed away, in a peaceful sleep."
Peggy... ..
"I have to go."
The news of Peggy Carter's death made Steve lose the mood to argue any further, so he stood up and left quickly.
