Captain America Classic Ass

Tony Stark's analysis was well-founded, making Thor genuinely feel like he had seen through the fog. He thought, "This guy may have a sharp tongue, but his brain is indeed quite functional."

Nebula asked, "So, you mean to say the answer is 'D'?"

Tony Stark shrugged, "It's pretty obvious. Some time ago, Steve and I travelled to a parallel timeline. When he met his counterpart from that timeline, they almost got into a fight."

He said this while looking at the opposing Team B. Currently, Team B, led by Steve, Natasha, and Scott, had a slight lead in the score.

On Team B's side, Steve Rogers also made some analysis and deductions, believing that the answer to this question was most likely 'D'.

"Think about it, at this moment, New York has just gone through a battle, and everyone is still on high alert. If I, or all of you, suddenly saw another version of ourselves... what would you think?" Steve Rogers asked them.

Scott Lang raised an eyebrow, "Me? I'd probably think I'd encountered some kind of monster."

Natasha Romanoff pondered, "Captain, I understand what you mean. You're saying that during the battle in New York, if you saw another version of yourself, you might mistake him for Loki?"

Steve Rogers nodded, "Exactly. It's very likely to happen. Loki's cunning is well-known, and we've all seen his illusions. If, at that moment, I saw another version of myself, my first reaction definitely wouldn't be to consider it my future self. So, getting into a fight with it would make complete sense."

Upon hearing this, both Natasha Romanoff and Scott Lang found it quite reasonable, and they both decided to choose 'D'.

Soon, the countdown for answering began, and both teams were competing for the right to answer. Once again, Natasha secured the right to answer. She smiled and winked, "My luck is really good today."

Scott Lang chimed in, "Luck is only good if we answer correctly; otherwise, it turns into bad luck!"

Natasha said, "I trust Captain's judgment."

She chose 'D,' and on the other side, Tony Stark from Team A also chose 'D.' The correct answer was revealed, and they both got it right.

[Congratulations to Team B for getting the correct answer. Players Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, and Scott Lang receive 4 points]

[Congratulations to Team A for the correct answer. Players Tony Stark, Thor Odinson, and Nebula receive 1 point]

Thor regretfully said, "We got it right, but we only got 1 point. We can't catch up with them like this. Tony, it seems your luck is just average. Let me try to answer the next question. Don't worry; I'll listen to your choice."

Tony Stark rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, "Alright, for the next question, all three of us should press the button... No, it should be just me and Thor. That way, our chances of getting the answer right are higher. Of course, the condition is that you must listen to me!"

Thor shrugged, "Until you get it wrong... Okay, don't be mad; I'm just kidding. I admit you're better at playing quiz games than me."

As they discussed, a video began playing on the screen.

In the video, Tony Stark stealthily infiltrated the Avengers Tower, hiding in a corner and spying on the Avengers at this point in time.

This video was shown during the previous round of the quiz game when Loki and the Time Variance Authority were exposed. However, one was primarily from Loki's perspective, and the other was from the future Tony Stark's perspective.

Through Tony Stark's sneak peek perspective, you could see the backs of Captain America, the Hulk, and other Avengers.

Tony Stark took a few extra glances at Captain America and teased, "Rogers, I almost forgot, the butt-lifting effect of your outfit is something else... It's too exaggerated."

Steve Rogers' voice came through the earpiece with a hint of helplessness, "No one asked you to look, Tony."

Scott Lang, who had turned into Ant-Man, chimed in, "I think it looks great, Captain. It's the classic American Ass!"

Seeing this, the audience outside the screen couldn't help but burst into laughter. Natasha chuckled and said, "Captain, I think Tony's assessment is oddly accurate..... your physique is indeed quite impressive."

Steve Rogers rolled his eyes, "Are they discussing such a trivial topic during a critical mission? Aren't they too sluggish?"

Scott Lang laughed, "Being constantly tense isn't good. Relaxing a bit is conducive to completing the mission efficiently!"

At this point, the video on the screen showed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents appearing. They confiscated the Scepter, and Ant-Man, who didn't know much about these people, asked about their background.

Future Tony Stark quipped, "They're S.H.I.E.L.D., but in reality, they're HYDRA. However, at that time, no one knew this."

Scott Lang exclaimed, "How is that possible? They don't look like good guys at all!"

It was indeed absurd. Despite being an official organization serving the country's stability, it had been infiltrated from top to bottom by an evil organization.

Nick Fury on Earth, upon seeing this, his face turns unpleasing. He said in a deep voice, "Coulson, I think we should strengthen the screening and cleaning of S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

After the truth about S.H.I.E.L.D. being equivalent to a branch of HYDRA was exposed in the previous round of the quiz game, they immediately launched a massive purge. At this point, almost all the key figures in HYDRA had been eliminated.

S.H.I.E.L.D. had also undergone a significant change in personnel. However, seeing this dark history being brought up again felt like a fresh wound to Nick Fury. He felt as if ants were crawling all over him.

"Damn it, HYDRA's resilience is too strong; they always manage to rise from the ashes!"

Nick Fury's right-hand agent, Coulson, shrugged, "Boss, I think it doesn't matter anymore. Most of the troubles in our world are now handled by the Avengers. And Our world's troubles that are beyond us are taken care of by the Defenders, like Batman and Superman."

In other words, S.H.I.E.L.D. was no longer as necessary as before...

Nick Fury gave him a stern look, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has played a significant role. Look, in the normal timeline, without S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers lost their connection and restraint, resulting in their eventual split!"

'Clever boss, he's keeping S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to request more funding from above while secretly developing secret weapons and conducting secret research. It sounds like S.H.I.E.L.D. indeed plays an irreplaceable role...'

Coulson silently condemned in his mind but nodded in agreement, "You're right, boss."
