Chapter 8 1 Man in Black

"Sorry to bother you during your lunch break, Ms. Ziegler. I'm Howard Holloway, from MetLife."

Angela stared at the middle-aged man with a simple smile in front of her with her mouth wide open. After realizing it, she was ready to make some small jokes to him in response to his insincerity.

"Oh, oh, I remembered. The director told me about the insurance plan." Angela concealed her surprise, "Come in quickly, just call me Angela."

"Thanks, Angela. I'm sorry about what happened to you."

"But considering it brought a warm and decent gentleman into my apartment, it's not that bad." Angela smiled and turned back to the kitchen, "Coffee or tea."

"I can just drink water."

"You're welcome, please sit down." Angela poured two glasses of water and put them on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Then she looked at the dense sweat beads on "Holloway's" forehead and said, "It's really hot at noon today. You You can take off your coat, Mr. Holloway."

"Thank you, you are the most reasonable customer I have ever met. Likewise, please call me Howard"

Just as "Holloway" politely took off his suit jacket, Angela used her ability to "pop" the ID out of his coat pocket, acting as if he had accidentally dropped something.

"Leave me alone" Angela "diligently" bent down to pick up the black wallet on the ground, and then pretended to glance at the words on it casually.

"Philip J. Colson, Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency Field Service, Special Agent Level"

"Oh, no," Colson suddenly took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, and then took out a long, thin columnar object from nowhere, "Ms. Ziegler, please look at the camera."

"What the hell?" Before Angela could react, her vision was covered by a strong white flash.

"This, but, one thing, no, well, laugh, Agent Coulson, you scared me." Angela looked down at Coulson's ID in her hand again, and found that she had not forgotten anything.

"Sorry for scaring you, Angela. The photos on all your IDs are from three years ago. We collect recent photos of ordinary people who know our existence." Colson said apologetically, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth But it's like feeling proud after a successful prank.

"Then why are you wearing sunglasses?"

"I just got this ultra-clear camera equipment not long ago, and I haven't gotten used to its strong flash yet." Colson took off his sunglasses and put everything away.

"You're just trying to trick me by imitating the scene in the movie." Angela threw the thing in her hand back at Coulson. "You are a bad, bad old cadre. You were so kind to me just a minute ago. I want to hug you. Now I understand that the brighter the smile on your face, the worse the thoughts in your heart."

"Also, I want to remind you," Colson took the leather armor and ignored Angela's complaint, "please don't post what you just saw and what happened to us on the Internet. You didn't even post it. If used, everything will be deleted immediately. Please do not tell others about this. It is useless for you to tell others. Others have no channels to spread our secrets like you. And if you frequently discuss these things with others , your communication device will be blocked as a warning. I strongly advise you not to do that, Angela. I see that your mobile phone model is very new, and you must have been saving for it for a long time. Internal staff There is no mercy when doing things according to rules and regulations.”

"Don't worry, although I'm no longer a doctor, I still have the ethics of a doctor and won't meddle in my own business." Angela took the initiative to show weakness, and she didn't want to quarrel with the character in front of her who she had always liked, "I know The government sent a professional investigation department to investigate what happened in the hospital. Why are you coming to me now?"

"In fact, one of the reasons is of course related to insurance. In order to improve its competitiveness in the national medical education system, New York-Presbyterian Hospital just established such a new insurance program in cooperation with MetLife this year. But obviously those actuaries Unnatural and bizarre incidents are not taken into account. Moreover, the doctors and managers of the hospital think highly of you. They all mentioned in their evaluation that you have very, very good career prospects. Interrupting your career at this moment will It's going to cost you a lot. So you're going to get a much bigger sum of money than you think. I think this new insurance plan may even die because of you."

"Thank God you also brought me some good news. Looks like there's still room for us to be friends, Agent Coulson."

"Please call me Phil, Angela. Believe it or not, I personally really want to be your friend."

"It depends on whether you are honest or not, Phil. You just said that this is one of the reasons, and the other reasons are."

"We originally thought nothing happened to you, but then we received a report that you were unable to continue practicing medicine. So the main purpose of my visit this time was to pretend to be a salesman to assess your normal physical and mental status, and whether you have any medical problems. Other abnormalities."

"Then what do you think of my current condition?"

"It looks good, but I still can't tell. You exposed our plan. This has never happened before. I have to ask them to redesign the inner pocket of the garment."

"I could pretend nothing happened. I picked up Mr. Holloway's ID, saw what it said, but somehow remembered nothing."

"That's not the way we work, Angela." Colson smiled and shook his head, "I will report it truthfully, and although I'm sorry, I still have to remind you that we may be working together for a long time in the future. Keep watching you."

"I thought some of your organizations were as polite as you."

"Just call us SHIELD. Please understand that we have to do this for the safety and interests of the general public. But you can rest assured that we will not intrude on your personal life."

"Is that so? According to someone's kind reminder just now, in case my phone explodes suddenly, I have to be careful when calling others now."

"I never told you that as long as you don't mention certain keywords, your calls will not be monitored."

"Okay, I never knew that as long as I live a normal life, the special department will not put much energy on me. Don't worry, I won't feel any pressure."

"I'm glad you can say that. After reading your file, I feel that an upright person like you deserves to have a comfortable and uninterrupted life."

"Thank you, Phil. It must be difficult to maintain such an attitude while working in a shady department that requires you to hide yourself all the time. You are as kind as your idol."

"We are not as dark as you think." The uncontrollable smile on Coulson's face suggested that he was very grateful for the compliment just now. "Also. Well, you must have seen the Captain America card in my folder just now, right?"

"Why do you look a little embarrassed? There must be some boring people who say that collecting superhero cards at your age is a bit childish. I don't think so, Phil. Who has a nobler personality than Captain America?" There are several people who can devote their lives to his legend. It is a pride and honor for people of any age and cultural background to believe in the spirit of Captain America. Besides, it is too uneducated to judge other people's upright hobbies. . Phil, let me tell you now, I am 26 years old, but I still follow Superman comics, will you laugh at me?"

"Angela, I know why other people call you little angel. Please allow me to call you confidant." Colson said the word in Chinese, "I know you have learned Chinese, and I have also learned Chinese from my past. I learned a few words from my colleagues. And of course I won’t laugh at you. I occasionally read DC comics, which are very deep and meaningful. In fact, the image of Superman has some relationship with Captain America. At the end of World War II, Captain America unfortunately fought After death, the people urgently needed a great and just image as spiritual sustenance. DC Company portrayed Superman like a god, and even the famous mutants could not compare with him. Because of this, Superman also fit in the hearts of the American people at that time. The image of the country. People at the time felt that the United States could and should uphold justice around the world like Superman. But later, especially after mutants were no longer active, people discovered that the stories told in the comics were not so far-fetched. There is no person as powerful as Superman in reality, but there is a country as powerful as Superman. If this powerful will does things unscrupulously according to his own ideas, even if he feels that he is fair, the world will be more real Would it be better?”

"A world that only fulfills one person's wishes is not heaven, but hell."

"That's right, so now there is internal news that DC plans to draw some stories about Superman becoming darker, in order to reflect on people's ideologies and US foreign policy. I seem to have said some things that as an agent should not be said."

"Phil, you are so cute. After studying in New York for so many years, I have never been to the former residence of Captain America."

"It's a coincidence that I'm going to Brooklyn next time."

"You mean I can give you a lift"

"Of course. In fact, if possible, I hope we can save the rest of the conversation for the road. You know the traffic conditions in Manhattan, I am really pressed for time now."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now. Thank you, Phil."

"You're welcome. I'm happy to give you a ride too."

"Is there anything in your car that I shouldn't see?"

"You can browse as you like. If you find any graphics or text, I will lose."

"By the way, Phil, how is the investigation of what happened in the hospital this time?"

"No comment."

"How much do you know about mutants? Do you have mutants in your department?"

"No comment."

"Do you really have something that can erase other people's memories?"

"No comment."

Along the way, Angela never used her ability to touch Coulson or his car.She thoroughly enjoyed her chat with Coulson.Just like in the TV series, this gentleman can make people feel extremely comfortable and warm when he is not on a mission.In fact, Angela briefly tried to use telepathy to explore Coulson's thoughts, but obviously this old agent was more than enough to deal with a little girl like Angela, and he didn't pay much attention to her.So Angela couldn't know what he was thinking.

"Thank you for your company, Phil" Angela thanked Colson after arriving at the destination.

"Have a good time and the money will be transferred to your account soon."

"Thank you again for giving me the feeling of being taken care of." Angela joked and opened the car door to get out of the car.

"Hey, Angela," Colson called her, "I will try my best to convince the higher ups not to monitor you. You have been living freely in the sun, and if you let some dark things touch you, things may happen that you didn't. What happens.”

"Phil, you're such a nice guy. I know I'm probably the most ordinary person you've ever interacted with, but I want you to know that your visit today meant a lot to me. I even have I have a feeling that we will meet many times in the future." Angela smiled and winked at Colson.

After saying goodbye to each other, Angela turned and entered the small Captain America Memorial Hall.She wandered among the endless crowds, watching the heroic deeds of the Howling Commandos, listening to Peggy Carter telling the details of the war, and not paying any tribute in front of Bucky Barnes's portrait.

While strolling gracefully and politely refusing to approach people, Angela accidentally glanced at a very ordinary photo. No one stopped in this inconspicuous corner, but the weird hairstyle of the person in the photo remained. Angela's interest was aroused.It seemed to be a group photo of Captain America and his comrades after a certain battle. The others seemed a little embarrassed, but this only highlighted the three heroic figures in the center of the picture.

"1941, Battle of Thermopylae from left to right" Angela read the introduction below the photo, "Victoire Creed, Steve Rogers, Logan Howlett"

"It seems that this trip is right. Maybe I can investigate more things here that are not available online," Angela said to herself excitedly.
