Marvel’s Speedsters

In fact, compared with places like |New York, where the fighting was fierce, the fighting in Washington was quite short and not very intense. While the Senate was conducting an emergency authorization vote on the situation in New York, and the House of Representatives was debating whether to increase the military budget for |the next few years, just as the big men were exchanging words, the Rubik’s Cube fragments placed near Capitol Hill suddenly opened the wormhole, and Washington police and the Air Force stationed near the capital were caught off guard.

From the fanatical and bloodthirsty Zitari army falling from the sky, raging wildly along Pennsylvania Avenue, the symbol of the core of American power, and finally inexplicably all fell to the ground, the whole process took less than fifteen minutes, but the loss caused to American politics in just fifteen minutes was the greatest damage suffered since the Revolutionary War.

In the chaos, Senator Kelly, who was dressed as a witch, survived luckily, and if she hadn’t been warned from the cutting-edge laboratory in advance, she almost exposed her identity out of fear, but with sufficient preparation, she survived the danger, and performed brilliantly when alien invaders besieged the Capitol, saving the lives and honors of some members in time, and thus gaining the friendship of many colleagues, even if the old men who used to think that Kelly would only make a splash are now impressed by her.

At this time, although the alarm over Congress was no longer sounded, the alert was still at the highest level, and thousands of people were evacuated in the congressional area, until the military and secret services repeatedly confirmed that they were safe, and the surviving lawmakers came out of the emergency shelter one after another under the protection of security personnel.

When they returned to the ground, the first thing they entered was the smoke-billowing and scaly Capitol, the white marble building was blackened by the burning smoke, and the three-story large dome on the central ding tower was inadvertently swept by the passing Zitari spacecraft, lost its balance and dumped down, gouging through the solid floor of the ding floor on the spot, and the 19-foot-tall bronze statue of the Statue of Liberty that originally stood above the round ding also disappeared during the attack, and the White House staff have not been able to find its trace so far.

Seeing this tragic scene, and looking at the long-standing smoke cloud above the White House not far away, the crowd in front of the Capitol was indignant.

The death of the president, the death of the vice president, 219 of the 435 members of the House of Representatives, more than 40 seriously injured, seven missing, and most of the 100 senators survived, which was the result of Kelly waking up the crowd in time and many bodyguards desperately resisting.

If the battle lasts another five to ten minutes, even such an outcome is extravagant, and for a while the noble survivors can only stand in the rubble, watching the large number of wounded being transported away by ambulances and even trucks, and the scene is full of corpses dug up from the masonry and seriously injured guards, and nurses and doctors are constantly running around under the supervision of the guards.

Suffering such a tragic loss, everyone had a burning anger in their hearts, so although there was no obvious fault, the generals in charge of the defense of the capital and the bureaucrats of the intelligence agencies were still attacked by a large number of parliamentarians, and Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who hurriedly arrived from New York, was even more | accused by others, and the extremely angry parliamentarians almost tore his coat, and the blindfold on the other side of the one-eyed eye was also pulled down by anyone, revealing a white eyeball that had shrunk, and the situation was very embarrassing, Until a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents desperately separated Fury from everyone.

In the chaos, the witch peeked at the situation, struggling to get out of the out-of-control crowd, her forehead was cut by falling |glass shards during the battle, half of her face and Xiong were stained with blood, looking very miserable, but thanks to her agility, there were no other more serious injuries.

Now she disregards her body, with a blood-stained bandage on her head, climbs to the collapsed wall with the help of her assistant, stands high in the middle of everyone, and speaks passionately in front of countless media cameras|

“…… Folks, the fate of the human world has reached the most critical moment, the concept of enemy has a new definition, we are no longer facing an opponent in the traditional sense, but an alien force that has invaded the earth across the universe. Evil is challenging us, powerful and strange, Washington, New York, London… Not long ago, many metropolises around the world were invaded by aliens, but humanity finally defeated the enemy and drove them back from our land! ”

“At this critical juncture, why are we still quarrelling, once the war begins, there is no longer a distinction between the front and the rear, whether men, women and children, everyone has the obligation to contribute to the protection of our homeland, we must unite and fight for survival, fight for freedom!”

The attention of the crowd was gradually attracted by Kelly, who waved his arms fierce|ly, and his speech was exciting, and the shining magnesium lamps below were almost connected, so bright that people could not open their eyes. Being in the focus of everyone’s gaze, the witch did not have the slightest fear, the more attention she was paid to, the more she could experience the joy of being looked up to and worshipped, which was like a strong tide that hit her body and mind wave after wave |.

The picture did not stop for a second, and through the cameras of various media reporters from Capitol Hill to the world, including New York, which had just cleared the city, almost everyone knew that Senator Kelly turned out to be such a great tough guy, even if he was covered in blood, he still cared about the fate of all mankind.

From this moment on, many people became loyal followers of Lord Kelly, but only in the cutting-edge laboratory in upstate New York, there was a group of people who were very unimpressed by her performance.

“Isn’t this a witch, she is really fascinated by playing a senator, and now she can’t let go of this role, has she forgotten her identity and wants to run for president?” Phantom cat Katie asked with round eyes in surprise, looking very cute.

“She has always been very sensitive to power, or too responsible|, and she always overdid things.” The little naughty Anna Marie frowned beside her, her expression a little distressed.

Speaking of which, the witch also once adopted the little naughty who ran away from home, and the mother and daughter once had a good relationship, but when Magneto wanted to find a substitute for the dead ghost for his plan, the witch who knew that the little naughty could absorb the ability of others through physical contact did not shelter her adopted daughter, and later created some trouble in the academy, so her deeds were widely circulated among these young people, including the identity of the senator pretending to be Kelly, which was also exposed by the storm girl Ororo, who witnessed the real Kelly’s death, Until the entire academy was swallowed up by Ross’s cutting-edge laboratory, for a long time before, the news about the witch was the center of everyone’s discussion in the academy.

Picking up the previous topic again, Katie and Anna and others speculated on their own, and soon others joined the discussion, fortunately, in addition to the students of the original Xavier Academy present at this time, it was the mutants who came to the brotherhood, and the secret of the witch has not been discovered by ordinary people for the time being.

In the midst of the discussion, Ross, who had changed back into a flat outfit, led the people through the corridor outside the lounge door, and on the way he listened to a few words, and noticed that Todd, the security supervisor with the displeased expression of Ding’s boss, forcibly interrupted their topic outside the crowd, drove these unknown guys out, and strictly ordered them not to divulge any secrets related to the witch.

“Rose, don’t be angry, I’ll discipline them well.” The storm girl who came from nearby was a little worried, she was now taking over the professor’s tutoring duties, and when she heard what she had just said, she also felt that she was usually too arrogant about these girls.

Ross did not speak, nodding slightly.

He has an instinctive aversion to any leak, especially those that may involve him, and is extremely cautious.

Regarding the matter of the witch, he had made a decision not long ago, and now he was even more firm in his thoughts.

Ororo went out to lecture the young men, while Ross, led by Todd, entered | into the adjacent reception room.

“What happened to the things I left you to arrange?” Walking into the room, Ross asked casually.

“It’s done.” Todd hurriedly sent a stack of documents, which were some identity certificates and social records, including physical objects and a large number of video pictures, Ross looked through them one by one, and at the same time gradually sketched the full picture of events and people in his mind to see if there were loopholes in these half-truths and reports. The security supervisor looked up and secretly looked at the expression of his superior, and made some additions in time.

“The files were very well revised, and all the other media outlets did their work in advance, only Peter Parker, a special correspondent for the laboratory, could not be contacted, and I asked his colleague photojournalist Eddie, who put in a lot of effort and he solved the most troubles for us.”

Todd pointed to the young man sitting in the corner, and the rather handsome rookie reporter heard him mention his name, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Ross, looking a little cramped.

Ross was heartbroken, of course Todd couldn’t contact Peter, Spider-Man regained his long-lost enthusiasm, busy being a superhero, how to remember his journalist job, but this Eddie is quite hard.

In another timeline, Eddie clashes with fellow rookie Peter, who later loses his job and is possessed by an alien creature who left Spider-Man to become a super-criminal Venom, and is now the chief reporter of the newspaper, Mr. Peter Parker.

Since Peter was unreliable, it was not impossible to give Mr. Eddie a chance, so Ross and Yan Yue looked at the photojournalist and gently patted each other’s shoulders.

“Don’t be nervous. Please sit, Eddie. ”

Following Ross’s light press gesture, Eddie was shocked and half sat on the edge of the sofa, although they are similar in age, even Eddie is a few years older than Ross, but the identities of the two are | very different, just from the temperament point of view, anyone will take Eddie’s performance for granted.

“Eddie, you’re doing a great job.” Ross raised the document in his hand, and he could see that Eddie had done a lot of extra work, not just the aspects that Todd gave him, which showed that he was indeed working very hard to get closer to the laboratory, and if he was replaced by Peter, Spider-Man, who was humble on the outside, but in fact arrogant and || in his heart, would never do what his followers did.

Of course, it is also because of these efforts that Eddie almost artificially concocted a superhero deed, which is outright fake news, and once exposed by others, he will never want to continue working as a journalist again.

Rose was well aware that this was the source of Eddie’s anxiety.

But he won’t let down those who try to get closer to him.

Without deliberately ordering, with just one look, Todd understood what Ross meant, turned and walked out, and when he returned with a thick envelope in his hand, he tucked it into the arms of the surprised Eddie.

Moning the thickness of the envelope, Eddie said nothing, his eyes full of joy.

“Eddie, you’re doing a great job.” Ross repeated, motioning for Todd to bring the wine and pouring himself and the reporter a glass each.

“It is often said that seeing is believing, but we all know that the truth is often not the same as fishing boats, that classic pictures of Iwo Jima and Tinging into Paris are elaborate propaganda campaigns, and that Lincoln is nowhere near as great as black | rights activists claim, but who cares about the secrecy behind things, no one!”

He waved his hand lightly, making a light and breezy gesture.

“As long as most people can find what they are looking for in it, they will spontaneously stand up for their favor, embrace hypocrisy, denounce the truth, and then time will cast a credible aura on everything false, and in a few decades, your masterpiece will be an integral part of history.”

“You’re right, sir.” Eddie drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, wiped his lips and boldly replied.

“Can I still serve you in the |future?” He looked at Ross with expectant eyes, and everyone knew that the reason why Peter was the chief reporter of the Clarion Daily was that he had Ross’s relationship.

“Of course, I need a smart and hardworking partner like you.” Ross smiled slightly and motioned for Todd to give him a mobile phone number, through which Eddie could contact the laboratory directly.

“I promise you, you’ll win a Pulitzer Prize, and that’s not the end for you, so do it well and don’t let me down.” Ross narrowed his eyes and watched the overjoyed little reporter hurriedly take the business card, and laughed out loud rarely.

All along, he has always given the impression of gentle restraint, and there are few times when emotions are as outstretched as today.

Eddie was infected by his laughter, his eyes couldn’t help but light up with ambition, bowed to Ross gratefully, pressed the envelope that was pressed on Xiong’s mouth, and then, under the guidance of Todd, sent someone to send him back.

“BOSS。”

The photojournalist had just left the house, and Todd hurried back, and he received a call from his subordinates and reported to Ross as soon as possible.

“That kind of thing, our people found clues…”
