After doing all that, Tony looked at Luke, who was standing next to him with his arms crossed. "Let him go and wake this guy up."
Luke waved his hand, and the rope dart on Steve's body flew back into his hand.
At the same time, he took out a syringe and injected Bucky's neck with an antidote.
Regaining his freedom, Steve immediately went forward to check on Bucky.
Tony snorted. He wanted to complain, but gave up. Forget it, it was too embarrassing to argue with that guy who was being controlled!
Luke unhurriedly walked over to him. "Go back and rest for a few days. I'll give you a little gift."
Tony asked, "What gift?"
Luke said, "We'll talk about it when you calm down. Also, you have to take care of the Avengers. "
Tony's face fell. "Are you trying to comfort me?"
Luke patted him on the shoulder and said, "Not everybody wants to stand under the spotlight and be studied. If you like, I have a few guys here who are very good at acting. You can take care of them yourself. "
Tony was unhappy. "I'm not an actor."
Luke chuckled. "They all have superpowers."
Tony was suspicious. "Why don't you want them?"
Luke said, "Because they really want to be superheroes, and I don't need superheroes here."
Tony thought for a moment. "Are you mocking me?"
Luke said, "No, you're a natural-born star. You don't need to learn to perform."
Tony was conflicted. Are you mocking me or praising me?
…
When the four of them left the base, they saw T 'Challa get out of the Wakanda fighter he had driven over and greet them.
The unlucky prince even expressed his gratitude to Luke solemnly.
Luke turned his head and looked at Zemo, who was completely unscathed in the Wakanda fighter. "You didn't do anything?"
T 'Challa shook his head. "I'll send him to the International Court of Justice."
Zemo had blown up a UN agency and killed more than a dozen people. He deserved this treatment.
Luke nodded. "It's fine if you don't kill him, but it's best if you cripple him first."
T 'Challa: That's a very Batman suggestion.
After that, the atmosphere became a little awkward, and they could only say goodbye and leave.
Of course, Tony maintained his arrogant nature and said that he wanted to leave on his own.
But in the fight with Steve just now, his right thruster had been damaged, and it was impossible for him to fly long distances.
Luke sighed inwardly. This proud old man was just so pretentious!
He had clearly given up on pursuing Bucky's responsibility and saved him with his own hands, but Tony just didn't want to stay with him.
Luke could only signal for Steve to take the Quinjet and leave. He then threw out a Quinjet from his inventory and had the tycoon roll onto it.
After the fighter jet took off, Tony, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, fell silent.
Luke didn't disturb him.
Tony didn't need comfort now. He just needed a quiet space to digest everything that had happened today.
Luke was finally relieved of one of his worries.
Tony didn't really let Bucky die. Steve's relationship with him was awkward at most, but it wasn't irreparable.
There was no doubt that Tony had been wronged in the affair.
Knowing the truth about his parents' death, yet still having to control his urge to take revenge, this pair of prideful young masters found it very difficult.
Fortunately, Luke was confident in the gift he had prepared.
Besides, there was a problem with Howard's death in the first place.
It was Pierce who had asked Hydra to temporarily divert the agents who had been protecting Howard and his wife for a few minutes, creating an opportunity for Bucky to assassinate them.
Also, given Howard's sensitive status, the scene of his and his wife's death would definitely be repeatedly investigated.
It was Pierce's men who had arrived first and cleaned up the scene before finally classifying the murder as a car accident.
Hydra, on the other hand, had specially recorded the video to preserve it as dirt.
Otherwise, with the technology of the 1990s and the remoteness of the street, how could there have been a surveillance camera with a narrow field of view that happened to capture the entire murder?
Most of the people who had helped Pierce with these things had died with Pierce's death, but a small number of them who weren't Hydra's accomplices were still working in official agencies.
Tony would probably be happy to spend some time and energy to ruin their reputations and send them to prison to pick up soap.
With this, Luke could be considered to have let down his two old friends, Tony and Steve.
It wouldn't do him any good to get involved in this matter, and stabbing Bucky would easily alienate Steve.
But this was a solution to Tony and Steve's problem at the least cost.
The only person who needed to gamble a little bit of luck was Bucky.
But who told him not to be Luke's friend?
He had chosen the least dangerous path for Bucky, and he had been personally forgiven by Tony.
With Tony's forgiveness, the Avengers who supported Steve would accept Bucky, and the Avengers who supported Tony wouldn't make trouble for Bucky.
Even if Bucky himself had to choose, he would probably be willing to take such a small risk for Steve! Luke pondered for a moment before he put the matter to the back of his mind.
There were a lot of things that followed, but most of them were the Avengers' problems.
All he needed to do was take the Wakandan favor and ask them to take down the Illusion Gem.
Hm, he also had to pay attention to the little witch's mental state, and not let the Illusion Gem steal her away.
…
There was a lot of activity in the world news after that.
The Avengers didn't sign the Sokovia Accords because they had disbanded.
Apart from Tony and Rod, everyone else, including Natasha, had disappeared without a trace. Even America's special agencies couldn't find them.
But the Sokovia Accords were still signed by the United Nations. More than a hundred countries had signed them, indicating that they had reached an agreement on the management of superhumans.
This also meant that the various "superheroes" and "supervillains" who had been active around the world over the years had an additional special agreement.
According to the Sokovia Accords, once someone was discovered using superpowers, they would be investigated by the specialized agencies of each country.
Criminals would be directly arrested, and those without criminal records or suspicions would also be put under surveillance. They couldn't walk around without being reported.
On the surface, this agreement didn't seem too harsh, but it actually meant that the authorities of each country had increased the convenience and upper limits of the authority they could exercise over superhumans.
Take the FBI after 9/11 for example.
Before 9/11, the FBI had a lot of authority, but it was subject to a lot of supervision and control.
After 9/11, with the introduction of the anti-terrorism law, the FBI could directly arrest any "suspected" person based on limited evidence and suspicion, without needing to ask for permission or coordination.
Similarly, the signing of the Sokovia Accords meant that those who exposed their superpowers had to cooperate with the authorities.
If they didn't cooperate, the authorities could reasonably suspect that there was something wrong with these people.
In the past, the authorities of each country had done similar things, but they basically carried out secret arrests, which couldn't be brought to the surface.
Now that the countries had confirmed the legality of surveillance and suspicious arrests, they could also request the specialized agencies of the United Nations to mobilize the special forces of other countries to carry out the arrests.
Their deterrence and control over superhumans skyrocketed as a result.
Take Mexico as an example, whether it was a local or a superhuman who escaped from the United States, they could be directly arrested by the special forces of the United States.
In the past, it was illegal drug traffickers in Mexico who received such treatment. Now that superhumans finally received the same treatment, the authorities could be considered to have fulfilled their long-cherished wish.
