4. Invitation and Warning--For the Last Brother【3/7】
"So... S.H.I.E.D. is ruined?"
Nick Fury, who was wearing a blindfold in the Rocket Raccoon's shuttle, was much thinner than before, whispered while eating bad space food:
"Hydra died too?"
"right."
Clark, who was sitting in front of him, picked up a bottle of water and handed it to Fury, and he said:
"A lot of things have happened in the past six months of your disappearance."
"You said, I'm listening."
Fury lowered his head, no one saw his expression.
As Clark whispered, Fury twisted the cap and drooled his mouth.
After hearing that Alexander Pierce was the last leader of Hydra and almost disrupted the world with insight plans, Fury sighed.
He looked at the narrow shuttle, then at Carol Danvers, who was sitting in the cab and Cara, the supergirl he had never met before, and he looked back at Clark.
He asked:
"Where is Merlin?"
"Why didn't he come?"
“Merlin…”
Clark pursed his lips, and he turned his face to the other side, he said:
"Merlin is dead."
"ha?"
Fury widened his eyes and said:
"This joke is not funny! Did he deliberately ask you to say this? So that after I arrive on Earth, he can give me a surprise..."
"No."
Clark looked at Fury and he said seriously:
"Merlin is really dead."
Fury's expression slugged.
He held the water bottle in his hand, and seemed to be unable to accept the news for a moment.
He just sat there.
"After Merlin destroyed Hydra and killed Pierce, some weird orange glow appeared."
Clark said in a calm tone:
"Those lights can change the mind and give people stronger power. No one knows where the light comes from, but if no one had absorbed it at that time, the light would definitely radiate to the entire New York and the entire East Coast..."
"It will put the world into real chaos and massacre, just like the gathering of all the malicious intentions in the world..."
“Merlin let us enter that light.”
"He defeated us, he saved the world with his own strength, but then... we didn't know what happened later. He fought among the stars with the God King of Asgard..."
"And then, then he..."
"Bang"
Fury slammed the water bottle in his hand to the ground. He stood up and punched the bulkhead. He whispered:
"Mazefakel!"
Director Ludantou was in a bad mood, and everyone in the cabin could see this.
After more than ten seconds, Fury calmed down and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Did he say why he did that?"
"He said it."
Clark sighed:
"He said he wants to give freedom to the world and give us freedom..."
"But so far, no one knows what he meant. We can only guess that Merlin might have been infected by the evils in the world at that time, or..."
"He may have discovered something we don't know, maybe the truth about the world."
Superman leaned against the bulkhead of the cabin, and he looked at the familiar yellow sun outside the window, and he whispered:
"After the situation was over, I went to see the Supreme Master. I wanted to figure out what Merlin meant, but... the Supreme Holy Place was closed."
"Don't guess it."
Carol, who was sitting in the driver's seat, closed her eyes, and she said in a hoarse voice:
"Don't try to explain Merlin's words from a deeper perspective. What he wants to say is the superficial meaning. This world was bound before."
"After Merlin's death, it was free, including everyone in that world, including you, and me..."
"Do you know something?"
Fury turned his head and looked at Carol, and he said:
"If you know, tell us that Merlin is also our friend."
"No."
Carol shook his head and said:
"You can't know, and you don't need to know. It's meaningless to worry about this."
"I have fulfilled another Merlin's wish to rescue you from the Skuru people."
"You have heard it just now that Queen Skuru may have lurked on Earth, and maybe soon, those miscellaneous parts will launch a subversive war on Earth."
"I think this is the reason Merlin wants me to rescue you..."
Carol said:
"He believes you can handle these troubles."
"I?"
Fury shook his head, and the director of the Ludanou said in a daze:
"I'm just a blind man with a weird temper. My organization, my life, my beliefs are over. What can I do to stop a group of crazy aliens?"
Speaking of this, Fury seemed to remember something, he turned his head and looked at Clark, and he said:
"Avengers are still there?"
"The Avengers are disbanded."
Clark said:
"Tony continues to make money and be a hero; Thor becomes an ordinary person and now works in Doctor Strange's clinic; Batman quits, he goes back to Gotham for justice; Captain, Natasha and Patton are all in Raccoon City..."
“Raccoon City?”
Fury rubbed his forehead and said:
"Before I was arrested, I remember SHIELD investigating the security of Raccoon City, mainly the umbrella... Something happened there?"
"Well, the virus broke out."
Clark stroked the wedding ring in his hand and said:
“Raccoon City is under martial law, two-thirds of Colorado have been evacuated, and it is now a no-man’s land.”
"Hill disbanded s.d.o.l.d., but there are still many people who choose to stay there to monitor the spread of the virus. I heard that they mobilized a group of intelligent machines to enter the quarantine area."
"I applied to go there for interviews several times, but they were rejected. It seems that the situation there may still be a bit bad. The official may not want the matter there to be disclosed."
Fury nodded.
He looked at Clark and said:
"What about you? What are you doing now?"
"I, I'm married."
Clark waved his finger, and the diamond ring shone brightly under the light, he said:
"I'm just an ordinary investigative reporter from Planet Daily now, that's it."
"All right."
Fury didn't say anything more.
The rocket's shuttle quickly entered the atmosphere. Under the traction of m.i.b, the shuttle slowly landed in the secret star port of the earth.
Fury, wearing a windbreaker, walked out of the shuttle and saw Agent J greeting him. Fury walked forward and said to Agent J:
"Where is z? Why didn't he come to pick me up?"
Faced with Fury's problem, Agent J was silent for a moment, he said:
"z...z sacrificed."
"Half a year ago, he refused to open M.i.b's weapons warehouse in New York and was shot in a melee."
"Yeah?"
Fury's face became more gloomy, he asked:
“Who is the host of m.i.b now?”
"It's Agent M."
j answered:
"Do you want to see her?"
“M…”
Fury shook his head and said:
"Forget it, I'll do something else first."
He looked back at Carroll and his group who had already walked out of Star Harbor. It seemed that they guessed that after Fury returned to Earth, they would have to deal with the official for a long time, so they had no intention of taking Fury with them at all.
After the incident with Merlin, these guys really had no favoritism for the official.
Fury looked around and said to J:
"Can you drive me to Washington?"
—————————————————
"Ba, bha"
The door of Amanda Waller's office, who was working, suddenly rang. Ms. Waller, who was a little pale, raised her head and said:
"Come in!"
The next moment, her assistant walked into the office with a document and brought it to the door.
"Sir Waller, here is a document from the White House that needs you..."
"Bang"
The cold pistol hit the assistant's forehead.
Waller stood up from the chair, and looked at the assistant in front of her, and she asked coldly:
"Who are you?"
"Ba,ba,ba"
The assistant's expression changed a little.
He took a step back and clapped his hands, as if he appreciated Waller's keenness.
The next moment, he reached out to his ear and tore it gently, and the polymer mask used to cover his face was removed, revealing Nick Fry's signature cold face.
"Fry?"
Waller widened his eyes in surprise, and she said:
"Aren't you dead? You died at the hands of Merlin, and many people saw it with their own eyes."
"Now everyone outside is rumoring that I am dead..."
Fury sat on the chair at hand, his fingers crossed, looking at his most proud disciple.
He said:
"What a Wairegood! I'm just going to let the news spread..."
"So you've been hiding?"
Waller did not put down his gun because of Fury's words. She stared at Fury, and she said:
"Why do you do this?"
"I not only hid, I also went out to travel far."
Everything Fury showed seemed to be under control. He leaned against the chair and looked at Waller, and he said:
"As for what I want to do, I can't tell you yet."
"But you did a good job. Tianyan will be able to take over most of the situation left by s.d.o.l.d. in half a year, and it is really good."
"Although it's still not as good as Merlin."
Fury's words made Waller frown, and Ms. Amanda squinted her eyes.
She glanced at the life information collector on the table, and after confirming that it was indeed Nick Fury sitting in front of her, she put away her gun.
She hugged her arms and said to Fury:
"You come here at the risk of exposure, not just to provoke me and mock me, right?"
"Of course not."
Fury sat upright, his expression became serious, and he said to Waller:
"A group of aliens sneaked into the earth, Waller, many of the people you mentioned saw me killed by Merlin, which was a scene performed by those aliens. Of course, it was revealed by Merlin and I in advance."
"I was able to leave the court by pretending to die, but I was replaced by more than one person."
“Sounds dangerous.”
Waller frowned and said:
"If this is the case, then it's understandable that you choose to lurk, but why do you tell me this? And, don't you worry, I've been replaced, too?"
"Bang"
Several pieces of paper were photographed on Waller's desk.
The latter picked it up and took a look, and his expression changed a little.
"The advanced stage of liver cancer, there is no cure..."
Fury stood up, he looked at his disciple, a trace of pity flashed in his one-eyed eyes, and he said:
"I don't think that no matter how crazy the Skuru people are, they will choose to replace someone who may die in a few months... Merlin said that you were terminally ill, and I didn't believe it at that time."
"Waller, you should have told me earlier."
"It has nothing to do with you!"
Waller gritted his teeth and said:
"I will handle my own affairs myself, you don't have to worry about it!"
"Okay, then let's talk about the serious business. The reason I came here is very simple, Waller."
Fury said to his disciples:
"I will help you, and you will also help me."
"Help me hide the news that I am still alive, use the power of the Sky Eye Society to help me collect traces of unusual laws and documents issued in the official organization in the past six months, and monitor those superheroes who suddenly become active..."
Fury stopped, he said:
"Of course, there is the World Security Council."
"You are making me commit a crime!"
Amanda Waller said coldly:
"Why should I help you? Don't you have a lot of secret power? Why do you come to me? I don't remember our relationship getting so good."
"I'm not just looking for you, you're just one of them."
Fury said meaningfully.
He took out a few test tubes containing green liquid from his pocket and he placed the thing in front of Waller's eyes.
He said:
"And this, sss serum, one of the secrets inside SHIELD."
"This thing may not help you get rid of the disease, but it can at least prolong your life and reduce your illness."
"And at your age, there will be no side effects."
Fury whispered:
"The most important thing is that you are my disciple. I know that you hate all superhumans and you are a firm patriot."
"You think all superheroes are potential threats that are not trustworthy, and you don't want to turn yourself into monsters..."
“From this point, there are very few choices you can make.”
Fury pointed to the potion on the table and said:
"This thing won't turn you into a monster, it's one of your best choices."
"Look, I've given you the reward."
Fury took a step back and put the polymer mask on his face again, he said to Amanda Waller:
"Whether to help me depends on your mood."
"What will a patriot choose at this time? Can you tolerate the country you guardian be subverted by a group of alien borers?"
Fury threw a word and turned away.
As he walked to the door, he heard the sound of a syringe injection coming from behind him.
He turned around and saw Waller injecting a tube of green potion into his arm.
Waller's face turned rosy almost visible to the naked eye.
She moved her neck and waved her hand, and she looked at Fury.
She said:
"Thank you for your serum... Also, if those Skuru people...right, if they are really as powerful as you said, I don't think I can help you with surveillance, they will definitely hide themselves well."
"No, no."
Fury stretched out his finger and waved it, he said:
"Don't be afraid of them, they are a bunch of natural liars, that's right, but believe me... There are crappy guys among them, and just grab one, the others are not to be afraid."
"Unity is not their strengths, that is their weaknesses!"
