Chapter 609 A Peaceful Daily Life
The next day, major New York media outlets began reporting on Namor's attack the previous day. Many people dug up information about this little prince of the deep sea and began to analyze why Namor had come to the city's gates, why the Pentagon had not reacted, and what the Avengers and Fantastic Four had talked to Namor about that made him leave.
The Avengers' official explanation is that Namor was just protesting against the overexploitation of the ocean by humans, but it seems like nobody believes it.
"Actually, I exaggerated a lot to make them think that Namor really had something to do."
As Tony spoke, he threw beanbags at the targets on the pillars of Avengers Tower: "If they knew that the ruler of the ocean was a lunatic, the whole world would be in panic."
"In fact, Namo does have a mental illness."
Hank looked at the report sent by the Fantastic Four, then looked up at the Avengers who were all staring at him: "What, didn't any of you see the data sent by the Fantastic Four? Because Namor is a hybrid of human and Atlantean, his long-term survival in the deep sea or on land will cause oxygen imbalance, producing some negative effects, and he will develop a tendency to express bipolar emotions."
Hank, looking at the medical examination the Fantastic Four had given Namor, and at the Avengers still staring at him, explained further: "You know bipolar disorder? It's like—depression and mania taking turns. Namor hasn't reached the point of disorder yet, but he has bipolar tendencies. Also, based on the Fantastic Four's interactions with Namor during his amnesia period, they felt it was like battlefield PTSD—"
"He fought alongside us in World War II, to protect our oceans—"
The captain sighed helplessly, while Janet, after listening to all this, asked curiously, "Wait, it sounds like this young man isn't beyond help. Is it possible that if he just comes to the mainland for a vacation more often, his emotional expression will become more normal?"
"No, it's impossible."
Tony picked up the sandbags one by one from the ground as he spoke, then hugged them and continued throwing them: "He absolutely loves the seabed, he'll never come up here. He needs that viscous liquid from fish to moisturize his skin, he rubs fish all over himself every day. Is he married? I don't think he married a fish, right?"
"In our time, he had a lover, a member of Atlantean royalty, but I'm not entirely sure if she's still alive," the captain sighed after answering the question. "Anyway, it seems Namor just wants to announce to the world that he's still alive, and that's about it."
Yes, that's about it.
So everyone is confused about what Namo is here for. They haven't anticipated the bizarre events that will happen next month, so everyone is completely baffled.
I was just kidding. Even if you knew, you wouldn't know what Namor was doing there. You could probably only understand it as a mental breakdown.
"Speaking of which, what's Cube Prison like? I heard it's a VIP cell where gamma prisoners are held."
After Tony finished speaking, the captain was about to reply when Tony turned and threw a punching bag at Banner, who was dozing on the sofa. It hit him squarely on the head, startling everyone. Banner, however, slowly woke up, bleary-eyed, and looked around: "Huh? Guys? What happened?"
"How's Cube Prison, Banner? You worked there for a few days during the Kangzhi Dynasty, and now you've gone back for a look. What are your impressions?"
"Oh, that."
Banner rubbed his eyes and thought about what had happened to him: "It's hard to say. Theoretically, Ross didn't get involved in the final battle, so he shouldn't know about the Kang Dynasty. But for some reason—I feel like he doesn't completely forget—he really wants his men to replicate the next Bronsky and mass-produce him. I know that very well."
"So Cube Prison isn't a prison at all; it's actually a research institute where Ross is specifically in charge of studying the brains, abominations, and absorbers of those gamma monsters that haven't been brought to justice yet. Of course, what he wants to capture most is the Hulk."
Banner frowned as he spoke, explaining that Hulk had visited him in prison during the trip with Captain America. Because Banner and Hulk had previously communicated with each other with Professor Charles Xavier's help, their memories were now linked, and Banner witnessed the visit.
What worried him most was the base's operational status and the obvious preferential treatment the leader received inside. This pseudo-scientific genius, who had once attempted to cure Banner and created the Abomination, seemed to be the most likely person to create mass-produced Abominations. It was after being affected by gamma blood that he experienced a surge in intelligence and attempted to create more gamma monsters to fight against the Hulk.
Then Ross followed the trail and arrested him.
Overall, with the Avengers around, Banner felt that even if the leader and Ross planned to do something, they would be able to find out in advance.
These past two months have been unusually peaceful.
This isn't sarcasm. To most New Yorkers, these past few months have been remarkably peaceful. First, with the formation of the Avengers and the Defenders in 2012, the entire New York underworld was virtually wiped out, with mob bosses like Kingpin, Hammerhead, Tombstone, and Silvermane all imprisoned. Then, they didn't experience the Kang dynasty, which, in the eyes of New Yorkers, was Kang's attempt to invade New York only to be swept away by the Avengers.
On the contrary, Octopus City and the Sinister Six left a deep impression on New Yorkers, but Spider-Man defeated the Sinister Six in just 48 hours, killing three of them on the spot and sentencing one to death.
The massacre had little to do with most New Yorkers; all the murders were covered up, and Cletus simply fled, so there were hardly any cases of massacre-related infections in New York.
Thinking about this, Banner even remarked, "This really is peace."
"No!" *4
Aside from Banner, who spoke, and the absent Spider-Man, Thor, and Black Panther, everyone else present simultaneously made horrified expressions. Banner looked at them, puzzled: "What's wrong? Is something not right?"
"Never say that in the police station, hospital, fire station, or among us. It's a curse," the captain explained. "If you say it, you're definitely going to be in trouble."
Everyone waited in silence for a full minute.
Okay, nothing really happened.
