Chapter 131 Doubt
After Tony returned to Avengers Tower, he seemed a little worried. .biquge
Just now in the afterlife, he keenly discovered some doubts, but he was not sure.
After two days of careful thinking, he decided to go to the captain first. If there was no problem with him, he could take the next step.
Now Cap has left that small rental house in Brooklyn and moved into Avengers Tower.
In fact, Tony has a room for everyone here, and even reserved a room for Spider-Man, as he plans to recruit Spider-Man in the near future. This child gave him a very good feeling, and he also conducted some inspections and found that the other person met his standards in terms of character and strength.
The Avengers live together, which makes it easier for them to communicate and move with each other.
"Hey, Captain." Tony knocked on the door.
"Tony, what's wrong?" The captain was fiddling with his equipment and raised his head after hearing this.
"I want to discuss that scepter with you."
The captain put down his shield and said seriously, "Sit down, I'm going to ask you too."
"What's your opinion?"
"Although the scepter has been found now, the thing on it is gone. Obviously, no matter what that thing is, the other party must know some information that we don't know."
Tony nodded, "That's exactly what matters. We don't know what this thing is."
"Does Thor know?"
"After Thor saw that the things on it were taken away, he flew away. I don't know where he went."
The captain pondered for a moment, "Would you like to ask Rhaegar? He seems to have some channels for information. We only found this place after his reminder this time."
"This is what I want to discuss with you." Tony's tone became serious.
"Huh?" The captain was a little confused.
"Do you still remember that woman Jiaying's reaction when I asked her?"
"She lied."
"Yes, I know that, I mean before," Tony waved his hand, "I asked her to call the thing out, and she thought I was referring to the rock, and then she replied that the boulder had already been sent in by her. Space.”
"Later, when I asked her directly about the scepter, her first reaction was that she was a little confused, as if she didn't know what scepter I was talking about."
"Maybe she's pretending, and you said she was lying to you," the captain said.
"That's true. She did lie to me. We also found the scepter in her underground warehouse." Tony paused, "But her attitude was very strange. It was not like the owner came to her door after stealing something. That kind of guilty reaction is more like the thing you asked about, I just happen to have it here."
The captain narrowed his eyes.
"Also, the moment before she finally disappeared, Jiaying showed a shocked and angry expression."
"I didn't notice that."
"Of course you didn't notice. I don't think anyone would notice. After all, her seemingly weak daughter actually caused a big earthquake with her bare hands. Everyone was busy responding, and no one had the time to pay attention to her expression. "Tony couldn't help but complain, "And I did it because of the help of Jarvis, which could help me record the battle scenes. I only discovered this after I came back."
"Then what?" The captain frowned.
"If it was to express anger at us for injuring her tribe and destroying her home, it should have been shown long ago instead of leaving it to the last moment. That expression was too abnormal, as if she suddenly realized something was wrong. Then I felt angry and shocked.”
"What do you want to say?" the captain said slowly.
Tony stood up and pressed a few times on his watch. A beam of blue light came out from there, forming a holographic image in the air.
"This is our position model at that time. I asked Jarvis to help me build it." Tony pointed at Jiaying. "This is the direction of that woman's gaze."
The captain looked in the direction of Tony's finger and couldn't help but take a breath.
"Rhaegar."
"That's right." Tony turned off the projection and nodded.
"Do you think Rhaegar is behind all this?" the captain said solemnly.
"I don't know, that's why I came to you," Tony sighed, "This is Rhaegar."
Rhaegar is their teammate and a powerful Avenger. Considering that Banner is uncontrollable after his transformation and Thor is an alien, Rhaegar is actually the Avenger that Tony values most in terms of force. Coupled with his relationship with Natasha, Tony attaches great importance to it.
Apart from work reasons, Tony also has a good relationship with Rhaegar in private. Rhaegar had saved his life and spared no effort to fight against Hydra. He had also sent him an alien corpse for him to study. It can be said that although the two were not close buddies, they got along very well.
Not to mention the captain. He and Rhaegar had never known each other before, and he had a good impression of Rhaegar. Moreover, Rhaegar had given him a lot of help with Bucky's affairs, and he was very grateful.
But now Tony suspects that Rhaegar stole the scepter and framed the stranger. This sounds like a fantasy.
There was silence in the room, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. The two of them had their own thoughts and remained silent.
After a long time, Tony said, "After the scepter was lost, the first person I suspected was Natasha. Although it was purely out of anger at the time, it also explained some problems."
"Think about it, if Rhaegar wanted to steal the scepter, it would be really convenient."
"He is one of ours, and he is definitely not the first one to be suspected. Natasha is his, and she can teleport and can steal the scepter without anyone noticing."
"He had conflicts with the Inhumans again. After getting the scepter, he threw it there to attract us. While diverting our attention, he also allowed us to help deal with those people. Isn't it just right? Besides, he was also the one who threw our scepter. The line of investigation led to the Inhumans.”
Listening to Tony's guess, the captain had to admit that there was some truth in that.
"But there's one thing you ignored, the motive. What was Rhaegar's motive for doing this?"
"For the thing on the scepter, of course."
"Why?" the captain asked, "What is that thing? Is it worth letting him take such a big risk? Isn't he afraid that we will find it?"
Tony thought for a moment, that was unlikely. If the thief is really Rhaegar, then he should know that sooner or later he will investigate the truth of the matter, but he still chooses to do this, which means that he is not afraid of the truth of the matter being exposed. Why on earth is this?
"To understand this matter, we first need to know what the thing inlaid on the scepter is." The captain said.
Tony snapped his fingers, "There is someone who should know, let's go find him."
"Who?"
"Strike."
