------------------------------------------------
Natasha, following orders, was about to set off.
However, Steve stood rooted to the spot, as if he hadn't heard Hill's command at all.
Tony, standing nearby, quipped, "What's wrong, old icicle? Your ears not working so well?"
Unexpectedly, Steve's face suddenly darkened, and he roared coldly, "Motherfucker! You little Stark brat! Shut your damn mouth!"
Tony: "???"
Darian: "???"
The others in the Command Center: "???"
Holy crap! Captain America just swore!
Everyone was shocked.
Especially Coulson, whose expression was like he had personally witnessed his cello-playing girlfriend run off with someone else, filled with the disillusionment of a fallen idol.
You have to understand, this person before them was once America's moral paragon, a perfect symbol printed in textbooks and historical posters.
Now, this moral paragon had blurted out a swear word in front of everyone, an impact no less than seeing the Statue of Liberty flipping the bird.
Darian immediately felt something was wrong and checked Steve's personal panel.
NPC: Steve Rogers
Status: Under mental control
Damn! We have a traitor among us!
Darian hadn't expected Steve to be under mental control, and it looked like he had been controlled even before boarding the Helicarrier.
He didn't need to guess; it definitely had something to do with Loki.
First, Director Fury betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D., and now Captain America, whose mouth was'smeared with honey'!
As expected of the God of Mischief, when it comes to stirring up trouble, you're the best!
Darian immediately contacted the game system: "System, remember to save that footage for me!"
Recording saved
"Captain? Are you alright?"
Natasha, beside him, immediately sensed the abnormality and activated the taser devices on her hands.
Steve sneered, "I'm perfectly fine! You idiots! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had to endure for so long!"
No, you are not fine at all!
Even the slowest person to react could now see that there was definitely something wrong with the Steve before them.
In a sense, a Captain America spouting profanities was far more unsettling than Director Fury betraying S.H.I.E.L.D.
Hill immediately ordered, "Arrest Captain America! Get him under control immediately!"
"You useless bunch think you can catch me!"
Steve had an evil smile on his face.
Well, this was only what he considered evil; to others, it was just a smile.
There was no helping it; Steve's face was simply too righteous; even if it were pasted on Director Fury's face, it would still exude a strong sense of justice.
Boom!!
As Steve's words fell, a deafening explosion came from deep within the Helicarrier!
The entire Command Center shook violently, and blinding red lights and sharp alarm bells rang out simultaneously!
In fact, Steve hadn't gone to the restroom at all; instead, he had used that time to install timed explosives in critical parts of the Helicarrier.
The process was also very smooth; his face was the best pass, and no one would have thought that Captain America would engage in terrorist activities.
In the chaos caused by the explosion, Steve exerted force, sweeping his shield out to heavily knock down Bruce beside him, then rushed out of the Command Center without looking back.
Bruce, knocked down by the shield, lay on the ground, a look of pain on his face.
Steve's blow just now had hit him hard; Bruce's body was similar to an ordinary person's, and after taking one hit, his face immediately turned green.
"Calm down, Banner!"
Natasha hurried forward, trying to soothe him.
If he transformed into the Hulk here, the entire Helicarrier would be finished.
Her soothing had some effect, but not much, after all, she hadn't uttered that exclusive incantation.
Tony also quickly chimed in, "That's right, Bruce, you can't transform here!"
Darian raised an eyebrow; Natasha at least had robust chest muscles to help calm emotions, but why was a man with a goatee joining in?
Sure enough, as soon as Tony spoke, Bruce became even more unable to hold back; he could no longer suppress the Hulk.
"No! It's, it's coming out!"
"Bruce, hold on, I'll be quick."
Seeing Bruce turning green all over, Darian immediately pulled out a handgun glowing with a faint green light and instantly aimed it at him.
"Wait! I think I might be able to hold on a little longer!"
Seeing Darian raise his gun, Bruce instinctively shivered, and even the green on his body seemed to fade a little.
The last time Darian shot him, it made him run all the way to Iceland; the psychological shadow was so immense that even the Hulk within him developed resistance.
"No, you can't hold on."
Darian decisively pulled the trigger.
After the bullet hit Bruce, a soft green light instantly emanated from his body.
However, Bruce found that he didn't want to utter any dying words, nor did he feel any pain; instead, it was as if he had suddenly returned to peace, and his injuries were gradually healing.
At the same time, his emotions stabilized, the green around him rapidly receded, and he eventually returned to his normal state.
Equipment: Hormone Gun (Fires multiple tracking healing bullets, slowly healing the target while temporarily suppressing various abnormal statuses)
"Drink this too."
Darian casually tossed Bruce a bottle of healing potion.
The healing effect of the hormone gun was limited, only temporarily suppressing abnormal statuses, equivalent to an anesthetic, but it couldn't repair broken bones inside the body.
Seeing Darian forcibly interrupt his invincible transformation frame, Bruce was stunned for a moment but still drank the healing potion as instructed.
Seeing Bruce stop transforming, everyone in the Command Center finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a technician exclaimed at the control panel: "Engine number three on the right wing has exploded! Severely damaged internally, we are continuously losing altitude!"
Hill immediately pressed, "Can emergency repairs be made?"
"The turbine unit is largely intact, but as long as we are still flying, it's impossible to send people out for repairs!"
"I'll handle it."
Without a word, Tony immediately summoned his new battlesuit, and a red-and-gold Iron Man armor flew before him.
After being ambushed several times when he didn't have time to put on his battlesuit, Tony had dedicated himself to researching automatic suit-up technology. Now, his battlesuit no longer required mechanical arm assistance; with just a command, it could achieve fully automatic transformation.
In addition, Tony was also researching a helmet that could turn transparent, so he wouldn't have to worry about being ambushed by certain 'old coins' when revealing his face.
"Agent Romanoff, you are responsible for keeping an eye on Bruce Banner."
Hill quickly assigned tasks, then turned to Darian, her expression serious: "Agent Darian, Captain America is your responsibility. You must arrest him and prevent him from continuing to cause destruction."

"No problem!"
Darian glanced at the map marker and immediately gave chase.
Along the way, he encountered many fallen S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents; it seemed Steve was responsible for all of them.
But from the injuries, Steve hadn't intended to kill, perhaps he still retained a shred of sanity, or his instincts restrained him.
Not far into the chase, Darian saw Steve's figure at a cross-intersection, accompanied by several S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.
Darian looked at these S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents; surprisingly, without exception, they were all under mental control.
Clearly, this was all Loki's doing.
But what was absurd was that, whether intentionally or accidentally, these S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents were all HYDRA spies.
At a glance, Steve looked exactly like the leader of this group of HYDRA members.
Captain with a 'sweet mouth' + Captain Hydra!
These buffs are maxed out!
Darian tried to persuade him: "Steve, I believe there's still a shred of justice within you. Don't let evil control you."
However, the Captain Hydra merely gave him a cold glance and unhesitatingly ordered: "Shoot! Kill this idiot for me!"
Darian: "....."
Alright, alright, so this is how we're playing!
