"So, out of a billionaire, a witch, a prince from the divine realm, and a guy who can grow big and small, who is most likely to ride on the President's private jet?"
Black Widow's gaze swept over everyone present, picking up where Iron Man left off.
Her words plunged everyone into deep thought.
Air Force One, known as the 'Flying White House,' is impossible for anyone to board except for the presidential staff and specific personnel from relevant departments.
On the surface, none of the four options seemed to have the qualifications to board Air Force One.
"The four people in the options are all superheroes, possessing power far beyond ordinary people!"
Nick Fury slowly began, "The President and the government would never allow these enhanced individuals to board Air Force One, unless… that superhero has received official recognition!"
This point was quite reasonable, and everyone readily agreed.
The threat posed by superheroes was simply too great; unless there was absolute trust, it would be impossible for them to share a plane with the President.
"Then… among the four options, who is most likely to receive official recognition?" Captain America pondered for a moment, then glanced at Iron Man, "Tony, currently, you are the most officially recognized."
Captain America had been catching up on contemporary knowledge during this time, and he had specifically learned about Iron Man, with whom he had previously answered questions.
He knew that after Iron Man revealed his superhero identity, the military had held a hearing, attempting to seize the Iron Man suit from him.
However, Iron Man had thoroughly humiliated them, and the matter had been dropped ever since.
The government and military had tacitly accepted this status quo, allowing Tony Stark to keep the dangerous and powerful Iron Man armor.
"Captain, that's just now, and that level of recognition isn't enough to allow Stark to board Air Force One."
"Furthermore, we don't know if others will also receive official recognition in the future." Coulson shook his head, offering a dissenting opinion.
"No, I think it should still be me in the future." Iron Man suddenly spoke, "Have you forgotten about that agreement! The agreement that led to the Civil War!"
As Iron Man said this, everyone present quickly reacted.
They had analyzed it before; that agreement was very likely the Sokovia Accords, and although they didn't know the specific contents, it was certainly an agreement to restrict superheroes.
In fact, after signing that agreement, Iron Man began to act on the orders of military generals!
From another perspective, didn't that amount to gaining official recognition?
A deeper level of recognition!
"The only one we can confirm signed that agreement is Stark!" Black Widow stated emphatically.
"Scarlet Witch and Ant-Man were on Captain's side during the Civil War, so they probably didn't sign that agreement."
"And Thor… we already ruled him out! Everyone, we've analyzed the answer."
"This is only based on the third of the three hypotheses Coulson proposed." Thor jumped in and said, "We haven't analyzed the second hypothesis yet."
"What if one of the four people in the options knew in advance that Air Force One was going to be attacked and rushed to rescue it?"
"In that situation, which of the four in the options is most likely?"
"Thor, it's three people in the options. Regardless of the situation, you've already been ruled out." Iron Man "mercilessly" told Thor.
Thor: "…"
He had an urge to punch Iron Man, how to resolve it?
The scene immediately fell silent, everyone quickly churning their brains,
Engaged in thought and analysis.
But no one could come up with any constructive theories or viewpoints.
"If it really is this situation, the relevant information is simply too scarce."
"How the heroes learned about the attack on Air Force One, how they rushed to the rescue, and when they arrived."
"How the armed militants attacked Air Force One, and so on and so forth."
"In short, we know nothing about this attack, and we have no way to start."
After a moment of silence, Nick Fury slowly spoke, addressing everyone.
As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and always the operational commander, Nick Fury was quite adept at intelligence analysis.
However, Coulson's second hypothetical scenario, knowing nothing but that Air Force One was bombed, genuinely yielded no analytical results.
Not just Nick Fury, but everyone else was equally at a loss.
"So, we have only analyzed one of the two possibilities Coulson proposed so far." Iron Man stood up, "But that's already enough!"
For answering the question, this was indeed enough.
Although there was still one possibility that couldn't be analyzed at all, based on the current analysis results, the probability of choosing Iron Man was higher.
That was sufficient.
"It's my turn to answer now, isn't it? I choose C, Iron Man Tony Stark!" Iron Man then faced the big screen and gave his answer.
"Correct answer!"
"Congratulations to answerer Tony Stark for receiving the reward: one T-1000 liquid robot."
"The reward has been issued, please check!"
As the system's words sounded, a puddle of silvery, viscous liquid immediately appeared in front of Iron Man, looking at first glance as if someone had spilled mercury on the ground.
"Stark, is this the liquid robot? It's certainly liquid, but is this thing a robot?" Black Widow said, looking at the puddle of liquid on the ground with some surprise.
Gurgle!
However, at that moment, Iron Man mischievously gave the T-1000 a command, and everyone saw the puddle of metallic liquid move.
It coalesced into a humanoid shape and stood up from the ground.
Then its color shifted, and a Black Widow appeared before everyone.
"Yes, Agent, I am a robot." The T-1000 version of Black Widow said to Black Widow, even her voice was identical.
"Cool! This thing is amazing, so cool!"
Thor, like a child seeing a new magic trick, exclaimed in wonder.
Gurgle!
The T-1000 rippled, transforming from Black Widow into another Thor, staring at Thor and saying, "Hey, Point Break, wanna spar?"
"Cool, so cool! It's just like Loki's magic!" Thor clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "But… Point Break, what's that?"
