Chapter 43: Just Friends
"Avengers, Avengers..."
Stryker stared at the computer screen, looking at some footage from Alien Island, finding it more and more unsettling.
Tony Stark, and Lynn Crete.
He tapped his desk lightly, his eyes gleaming with thought.
Since Tony Stark appeared on Alien Island, it meant the Avengers had already set their sights on the island.
Only a few days had passed since the Battle of New York, and the Avengers, due to their performance in that battle, were undoubtedly in the spotlight, with unmatched prestige.
Coupled with the power displayed by its various members... Stryker's mouth twitched.
It was best not to provoke these self-righteous freaks now.
As for Lynn Crete, he had also investigated his identity.
The son of the New York Police Department Director.
However, from the power he displayed, he was very likely a Mutant.
Using this as leverage, could he make that Director control his son?
But he heard that the Police Station Director was already preparing for retirement.
However, Lynn Crete was now involved with the Avengers... "Bang!"
Stryker slammed his hand on the desk, unable to help but exclaim, "The Avengers! A gathering of freaks! This thing shouldn't even exist!"
He recalled everything about Alien Island, and after confirming that he had left no trace of his involvement, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He could just push all the blame onto that old immortal, Charles Weyland; he knew nothing.
At most, he would only receive some punishment for lax oversight.
The project would continue... If he succeeded in his research, demonstrating the value and potential of this project, and held an undeniable power in his hands, the Military would instead become his protective umbrella.
Stryker's eyes flickered, and he slowly rose and left the office.
He wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket...
On a beach tens of kilometers outside New York City.
Lynn quietly landed on the beach, and after confirming no one was there, he released Logan and Raven from his Inner World.
"Logan, they should be here soon to 'reclaim' you."
"I know."
Logan nodded, a grim smile on his face.
If he could, he wanted to kill everyone who came for him, but he knew even more clearly that those who came for him were just obedient dogs.
Killing a few dogs wouldn't bother the person behind the scenes at all.
"When you saved Logan but didn't remove that tracker, did you already anticipate this day?"
Raven looked at Lynn in surprise, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Something like that."
Lynn nodded, then looked at Logan beside him again.
At this moment, Logan had returned to his Beast Killer appearance, not only putting the control device back on his head but even changing his clothes back to those tattered pants.
And the tracker on him, after passing through Tony's hands, was in a semi-damaged state, with its signal transmission intermittent.
He disguised Logan as if the tracker was damaged and he had been submerged in the sea.
"Raven, be careful."
Lynn cautioned Raven.
When those people came for Logan, Raven would seize the opportunity to replace one of them and return to the Base with Logan.
"Take this."
Lynn handed Raven the shielding device made by Tony, and in Raven's puzzled gaze, explained, "This is a Mutant gene shielding device made by Tony."
"That's great!"
Raven exclaimed in delight.
With this item, the difficulty of her actions within the Base would plummet.
"Logan, don't act impulsively."
Lynn cautioned Logan again, then said to the two, "The rest is up to you."
"I won't let you down."
Raven looked at Lynn with fervent eyes, her faith growing purer.
Lynn nodded to the two, then slowly flew up, paused briefly in mid-air, and then disappeared with a piercing sonic boom.
After Logan and Raven exchanged glances, they began to wait.
Lynn flew towards the Avengers Tower, but halfway there, he seemed to suddenly remember something, found a suitable place, placed Deadpool in a corner of New York, and then, under Deadpool's resentful gaze, flew back to the Avengers Tower.
Lynn landed on the top floor of Stark Tower, and with a gentle wave of his hand, pulled Tony out of his Inner World.
"Welcome back, Mr. Stark."
Jarvis's metallic voice sounded, and Tony let out a comfortable sigh of relief.
During Lynn's journey, the three of them had been driven crazy by Deadpool's mouth.
That feeling, like a hundred, no, a thousand flies buzzing around you, and you couldn't get rid of them, was truly annoying.
"Finally back!"
Tony sighed, and after leading Lynn into the building, immediately poured two glasses of wine.
He handed one to Lynn, then drank his own in one gulp, and said to Lynn, "When do you plan to start?"
"As soon as possible."
Lynn picked up his glass and took a sip, then sat on the sofa, pondering, "The longer it drags on, the more preparation time the other party will have."
"Alright."
Tony responded, poured himself another glass of wine, and sipping it, walked to the sofa opposite Lynn and sat down, saying, "Bring out the Iron Man Suit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn took out the Mark 9 from his Inner World.
And the moment the Iron Man Suit was taken out, the data contained within it was uploaded to his private server.
"Jarvis, bring up folder number 001."
"Yes, Mr. Stark."
With Jarvis's voice, a light screen was projected in front of him.
He tapped the light screen a few times, and information about Alien Island appeared on it, but unlike before, there were many more traces left by William Stryker, including even voice work records and some videos.
During this time in the Inner World, Tony provided Raven with a video of Stryker, and Raven, after watching it only twice, transformed into Stryker's likeness and worked with Tony to complete the evidence for Alien Island.
"Very good."
Tony nodded, his finger gently sliding across the light screen, muttering to himself, "Plus some photos and videos from Alien Island..."
A moment later, he satisfactorily dismissed the light screen.
"No problem. By this time tomorrow, these materials will accidentally be stolen and then spread online."
"Thanks."
Lynn thanked Tony again.
Tony didn't have to get involved in this.
Tony shrugged, "Helping you is one reason, but it's more because William Stryker's actions deserve this outcome."
He looked at Lynn, "I know a good barbecue place, want to go together?"
"No."
Lynn smiled and stood up, saying, "I already have plans tonight; I need to go back and prepare."
Tony looked at Lynn in surprise, then smirked, "Need my advice?"
Lynn looked speechless.
"She's about your age, just a friend."
"Wow!"
