Illusionist in American comics

Chapter 81 The weight of responsibility

Quinjet is a special fighter aircraft owned by SHIELD. It is divided into two types: transportation and combat.

This kind of fighter can fly underwater and in the stratosphere, and can even stay in space briefly.

Because of its uniqueness and high cost, there are less than five in SHIELD.

But now, a Quinjet is slowly landing in the sky above Avengers Manor.

Although Nick Fury has left S.H.I.E.L.D., his role as director these years was not for nothing.

When it comes to kickbacks, Fury is a master.

On the tarmac, Fury felt relieved after seeing Natasha and Barton, although his expression remained calm.

"Welcome home"

In the lobby on the first floor, all the members of the Avengers finally arrived.

On the basis of the original, new members have been added.

"I remember that Loki in Nordic mythology is Odin's brother and should be Thor's uncle."

Barton's expression was a little confused. He was just lost for a while. Why did everything change after returning to New York?

S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded, New York was restored after its destruction, and now two mythical characters have appeared.

"Although I really want to have an uncle, Loki is not qualified. He is just my brother."

Sol put down his draft beer glass. He still preferred this refreshing beer.

Of course, he also likes hard liquor, but it must not smell like paint.

Loki was still as quiet as a background. Even if he was talked about, he would always maintain a smile. He was used to disguising his mood in front of everyone.

Although he prefers the current atmosphere to that of the Immortal Palace, he is calm and maintains an unchanging attitude.

Deep in his heart, there is still a difference between gods and mortals.

This cannot be changed in a short time.

"So, Barton and I lost our jobs and we were fired?"

After changing into her pajamas and washing off her fatigue, Natasha took the milk from Banner and looked at Fury after politely thanking her.

"I really want to refute your wording. Expelling is not that accurate."

"But the result is indeed correct. You were fired, including me."

Fury crossed his arms and leaned on the sofa nearby. The look in his amber eyes was not regret but relief.

SHIELD is a shackles to him, a cage that makes him lose his freedom.

It is also a platform for showing off one’s skills.

In everything, he needs to check and balance the reactions of all parties and balance everyone's opinions. As his status rises, the simplest wishes become more and more out of reach.

During the time he spent with Haechi, Fury gradually understood what he wanted.

Because of this, the originally iron-blooded Nick Fury gradually became more humane.

This makes Natasha a little uncomfortable. She still prefers the business-like Nick Fury.

The two have known each other for a long time, so much so that they are older than some of the people present, but Natasha has never been able to figure out Fury's character.

The king of secret agents, who has always been known for his tough tactics, has never shown any emotion outside of work.

"So I need to prepare a new resume? When will the interview take place?"

Natasha looked at Thor, then at Steve, and finally at Tony.

"You may need to prepare a different resume, ma'am, your previous information has been destroyed."

"You are just an ordinary person now, and you need to pay for your own insurance."

Tony smiled slightly, then looked at Barton aside.

"Same to you, Barton."

"But I have a new job that is very suitable for you and can help you regain your previous work enthusiasm."

Two contracts were placed on the table by Tony, with the jobs of Natasha and Barton on them.

After briefly reading the contents of the contract, Natasha looked at Fury.

"Former Director, someone is poaching your former subordinates. Don't you want to say something?"

"You said it before, I don't mind if you change your working environment."

Barton didn't say anything, but the annual salary in the contract was ten times his previous salary, and there were also holidays.

To be honest, he was a little moved.

But he needed to finalize one thing, one thing openly.

"What happened to S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

This sentence not only silenced Fury, but even Steve was silent for a moment.

Finally it was Steve who explained.

"You should know about Hydra, right?"

"They have never been eliminated, but are hiding in the dark!"

Hydra was a special force under the Nazis during World War II. They had the most advanced technology, the most powerful army, and the most ambitious ambitions in the world at the time.

Under the leadership of Hydra leader Red Skull, chaos and turmoil are the footprints left by Hydra.

At the same time, amidst the smoke and flames of war, Hydra is also growing rapidly.

At its peak, maybe every person cleaning up garbage on the roadside was a member of Hydra.

Although it was eliminated in the end, it was just like the slogan of Hydra.

Cut off one head and two more will grow in its place.

The terror of Hydra never fades.

"Project Paperclip Is the Cause of Necrosis"

"Those scientists who have been brought back have always been Hydra people."

The reason why Fury had never found any clues before was that his concept of Hydra had faded. In his impression, Hydra had already been eliminated in Steve's time.

At the same time, during the time when Fury joined S.H.I.E.L.D., some people had even forgotten that Hydra existed.

Even smart people cannot escape the dilemma of being obsessed with authority.

If it weren't for the presence of Haechi, Fury wouldn't have discovered this clue.

Under the eyes of justice, Hydra has no way to hide.

"Too many! Did I work in a snake den before!"

Natasha didn't expect this. She escaped from a red house and walked into a snake den.

What now? Is it another unknown nest?

Natasha was a little confused.

Looking at the contract and the invitation from the so-called Avengers, Natasha hesitated.

According to Tony's answer, all information about her has been destroyed, and now Natasha can completely live the life she wants with a new identity.

Away from disputes and troubles, she can return to her former home and live a peaceful life.

But when Natasha thought of this, she looked at Barton.

Barton's hesitation was a problem. When he looked at Steve, he asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"Captain, what did you think when you picked up the shield?"

Barton's question attracted everyone's attention, and Steve answered seriously.

"responsibility"

Thinking of that afternoon, the afternoon that changed his life, Steve's face flashed with memories.

"The moment I got the shield, I understood my responsibility."

"Protecting everyone is my pursuit, and defending peace is my dream."

"You may think I'm hypocritical, but this is what I really think."

Finally, facing everyone's gaze, Steve told a short story.

"The day I just woke up, I was walking on the street confused."

"When I see a world where things are right and people are different, the first thing I think of is escape."

"So I got into a taxi"

"I don't know the end point, and I'm not in the mood to pay attention to the scenery outside the window."

"The driver saw my doubts and I told my own problems."

"And the other party also gave an answer."

Steve didn't remember the other person's name, but he remembered the other person's last words.

"With great power comes great responsibility"

"I have gained the power to control my limits, so I should bear the responsibility."

In the silence, Steve looked at Barton, waiting for the other party's answer.

“It’s a boring story, but it really solidified my idea.”

"So, should you hold a welcome dance?"

By signing his name, Barton officially became a member of the Avengers.

Natasha, who was silent on the side, also sighed under the eyes of everyone. She always felt that she had no choice.

And it does seem a little monotonous to have no women in an organization.

"Let me say it first, the dance should be more grand."

After signing her name, Natasha was successfully re-employed.

At this moment, the Avengers finally assembled.
