Chapter 115: Heroes Assemble

Nick Fury couldn't help but admire him.

In his eyes, each of them was a problematic individual who couldn't be easily offended. Each one had to be handled with care. However, for Oaks, they could be gathered with just one phone call.

Indeed, Oaks was the first Avenger chosen by Director Fury. The director's discerning eye was truly remarkable...

In fifteen minutes, Tony, the last to arrive, took off his armor—

As a shareholder, the Benevolence Society had facilities for him to put on and take off his armor, making it convenient for him to come in for oxygen at any time.

Although Stark Tower also had an excellent office environment created by air-purifying plants, it was certainly not as comfortable as this rainforest.

"Wow, look who's here—

Oaks, your party managed to include agents, and even the head of the agents?"

As soon as Tony entered, he started complaining.

"I thought he would only steal intelligence and create explosions!"

"Stark, the situation is serious, and what we are discussing is exactly what I mentioned to you before..."

Just as Nick Fury was about to continue, Tony raised his hands and waved them dramatically.

"Wow, wow, wow—

Listen, the Avengers Initiative. Wasn't that already abandoned? And your S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't even consider me!"

While the others were holding back their laughter, Tony's mouth started firing shots.

"Apparently, I'm fickle and narcissistic. I'm simply not suitable for teamwork, right?"

"Tony, they don't have time to worry about your personality anymore—besides, everyone here has a unique personality."

Oaks smiled and clapped his hands, diverting Tony's attention from Fury—he discreetly pointed in a direction.

"Wow!"

Tony felt his heart skip a beat and almost collapsed to the ground with weak legs.

"Aunt Peggy?!"

If there was a time period that left the deepest impression of Peggy Carter in Tony's heart, it would undoubtedly be his childhood.

During that time, Peggy Carter seemed eternally young, and her powerful presence continued to awe Tony until he went to college...

So, in reality, retired Peggy Carter's intimidation factor toward Tony wasn't as strong. He only maintained a habitual sense of awe.

But now...

A young version of Peggy Carter, as if materialized from his memories, was staring at him with great interest.

"No wonder I didn't notice such beauty... It's impossible for me..."

Tony clutched his chest with one hand and supported himself on the sofa with the other, looking terrified, his survival instinct kicked into high gear.

"Oaks! Tell me this is a holographic projection! Aunt Peggy should be almost ninety years old by now!"

"Unfortunately, little Tony... Although it's been a long time since you last visited me, I am not a holographic projection now."

Peggy Carter opened her mouth and smiled.

"Your friend knows some... magical spells, so for the sake of someone..."

She glanced affectionately at Steve, who was holding her hand, and raised an eyebrow.

"I asked him for a favor, allowing me to appear in this form temporarily. However, the cost is that I must temporarily reside in this environment."

"So, Safety Supervisor, is your name not because you are a superfan of Captain America?"

With Tony's intelligence, he naturally understood what was going on. When he saw Captain America, who looked much younger without his beard, smile and shrug, Tony spread his hands, sat down, and said:

"I told you this fitness instructor looked familiar. This face is the same as the photo of a young man that Auntie often placed on the table."

After hearing that this effect was only "temporary," Tony breathed a sigh of relief but then glared at Oaks, who was suppressing a smile—

Aunt Peggy, who a few years ago had to use a cane, should be at an age where she would be confined to bed. Yet, she could still move like a young person.

Although it seems necessary to be in the environment of the rainforest, this guy can actually do such things.

And he didn't reveal a single bit to me!

End of friendship!

"Oaks, lately I feel like I'm not as appealing to girls as I was when I was young. I think I need to look younger."

"...if Pepper agrees."

Oaks smirked.

"This person is indeed Captain America, Steve Rogers—the one in the memorial. As for the details, they will be explained to everyone in this meeting."

He stood up, waved his hand, and activated a holographic image. A virtual window appeared beside him, displaying his photo and information.

"Although you are all my friends, your understanding of me and each other may have some deviations, which is not conducive to future cooperation. So, let me start by introducing everyone."

"Druid" Oaks Woods, biologist, pharmacist, with the ability of nature magic—which includes animal transformation, plant manipulation, and energy projection for healing injuries and attacking.

The last ability is indeed something that many people didn't know about—they thought Oaks could only project energy for healing.

Including Nick Fury.

The Battle of New York was the moment when Oaks officially established his name as the Druid. There was no need to hide anymore.

"Iron Man" Tony Stark. Everyone knows him very well—because he is the superhero who loves to be in the spotlight the most, and his information is mostly public.

"Hulk" Bruce Banner, two consciousnesses, one body. The former is a brilliant scientist, and the latter is a ferocious warrior with destructive power.

Now, the Hulk's transformation does not largely depend on Banner's anger. The two have reached a certain consensus on a mental level.

Transformation has become a controllable action, and Banner ensures that the Hulk doesn't unleash destruction recklessly with a clear consciousness.

Lastly, "Captain America" Steve Rogers, the first super soldier in human history. Everyone has heard of his deeds since childhood.

However, seventy years ago, during the final battle in which Captain America "sacrificed," Steve actually crashed and was frozen for seventy years. He was only recently found by S.H.I.E.L.D.—

This was also something that Tony's father, Howard Stark, never gave up on.

As for the other S.H.I.E.L.D co-founder who regained her youth, Peggy Carter, she couldn't participate in combat and couldn't leave the rainforest.

But her presence helped Captain America quickly regain his peak state from those years.

"Although I am the initiator of this gathering, I'm not fully aware of everything—

The first thing we need to determine is that the situation is urgent. Director Fury, please provide a detailed explanation."

With the verification of their own people's information completed, Oaks nodded at Nick Fury.

The latter stood up, waved his hand, and activated a panoramic image. With the accompanying visual and textual information that had already been prepared, he gave a detailed introduction of the incident.

"In addition, although this incident was caused by Loki, the second prince of Asgard, the crown prince and future king of Asgard, Thor Odinson, once promised to be Earth's ally."

Nick Fury called up Thor's information.

"But I agree with what Oaks said to Thor—

The era in which mortals pray for the salvation of gods is over."
