[Comprehensive Anglo-American] The First Mutant

Howard and Donner sat for a while, when a blond beauty came over and said to him, "Mr. Stark, Mr. Clifford said he and Mary left first."

"Oh, thank you beauty," Howard complained to Donald and the others, "That prudish guy."

He smiled narrowly, and several other people also showed expressions that you understand and I understand.

Howard wandered the hall for almost an hour, got the number of a show girl, and then left the Atom Club unhurriedly.

The loyal bodyguard and driver welcomed him into the car and reported: "Mr. Clifford has met a lady named Maura MacTaggart. She works for the CIA. He asks you to find him after the end."

"Well," Howard rubbed the bridge of his nose, "let's go."

He had to do a full set of acting, and Zero guessed that Howard would not come back soon. After hearing the conversation between Miss Maura MacTaggart and her boss, he left first and returned to the hotel.

He dug out a thin box from the interlayer of the suitcase, opened it, and there was a bunch of soft and shiny silver-white hair inside.

"Phoenix." He held the lock of hair and called out piously.

The tail of the hair blazed up, and the faint red flame was only the size of a thumb, licking the strand of hair all the way up.Zero paranoidly grasped it, even if the flames had burned his fingers and burned the bundle of hair, he would still hold it in the palm of his hand.

After the flesh split, it healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hands were flawless again in a few breaths.

When Zero left, Phoenix gave him a bunch of hair, saying that he could call him like this when he needed something.Zero has never been used.He didn't know what would happen, but a delusional Phoenix would appear in front of him soon, thinking about it filled him with anticipation.

There was a faint scent of ice and snow falling on some kind of flower branch in the air first, and Zero looked at it without blinking, and saw Phoenix appearing in front of him out of thin air, with a well-pressed gray and black suit, dark green tie and The pocket square is impartial, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, just like a young scholar full of poetry and books, elegant and stable.

Ling Dai stood there until Phoenix walked up to him, waggled his fingers, and asked him, "How's the scent?"

Zero's eyes moved slightly with his movements, and he reached out to grab him when he was about to withdraw his hand, "I thought winter was coming. But you are still blooming, it seems that you will never wither, my master."

"Well, it seems that you are recovering well," Phoenix asked him with a smile, even more witty about boasting, "So do you want to talk about it yourself, or should I see it?"

"I don't want to waste time talking about me," Zero pulled Phoenix to the side of the bed and let Phoenix sit down, while he stroked his legs and knelt in front of him, looking up at his ruby-like bewitching eyes, "Please look at me."

He looked completely bewildered, but he flattered Phoenix.

"Good boy." Phoenix let him hold his hands, leading him to lightly place his fingers on both sides of his temples.

Zero left the way he boarded the plane alone.

The way he stroked the lock of hair he left behind many times.

He looks serious.

The way he draws his gun and shoots.

The way he jokes with people.

Of course, there's also what just happened.

Zero followed Colonel Hendry, and happened to meet a CIA agent with the same purpose as him, and also suspected Hellfire of any improper behavior.

The two heard Shaw talking to Colonel Hendry in Xiao's dark room. In order to get Hendry to agree to deploy the Jupiter missile, he threatened him with several mutants around him. A wind power user and a body instantly became The diamond woman, and the red-skinned man who suddenly appeared and then disappeared suddenly...

In Zero's distant memory, there was also this red-skinned person who could teleport.It was his attack that exposed Phoenix to a little moonlight and was able to wake up again.If he can teleport anywhere, he's clearly a dangerous assassin, and nowhere is safe.

Colonel Hendry must have been afraid. If he had been completely honest, he would not have known Shaw well.

He had only one purpose for the change, and he wanted to ask Phoenix what to do.

Phoenix removed his hand from Zero's head, and the young man pretended not to notice, and continued to hold his hand, letting each other's hands intertwine.

"I heard Agent Mark Taggart report to her superiors, and her superiors didn't seem to believe it," Zero said, "but she wasn't about to give up."

"What does Xiao want to do, to stir up people to fight, and he makes a profit from it?" Phoenix doesn't read newspapers very much, but Charles often pays attention to current affairs.The tension between the United States and the Soviet Union is now tense, and the mainstream media will rush to report the slightest movement.

"Perhaps the population control was relatively loose during the war, and he wanted to learn from Hydera to create a large number of mutants?" Zero said that it was written in the materials he found in Hydera. Xiao used to use the pseudonym Klaus Schmidt and was also engaged research in this area.

But are mutants so easy to make?

But there are really three mutants around Xiao, maybe he really found some way?

"Are you going to tell Howard the truth later?"

"It's about national security, he should be told, and Phoenix," Zero shook his hand, "is an opportunity."

Phoenix was silent, listening to Zero said: "This matter is within the scope of the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s responsibilities. After I report it, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s is likely to handle it at its discretion. If you want, I will disclose information about you or Charles. If you don't want to, Then I won't say it."

"I know, you want to repay Charles." Zero said.

Phoenix's hand struggled a bit, Zero didn't dare to really restrain him, so he let go obediently.Let Phoenix touch his head like a large pet dog.

Not only was he not annoyed, but he seemed to be enjoying it.

"I'm going to talk to Charles, Charles, and me, both."

"Three, Phoenix."

"Yes, and you," Phoenix scratched his hair, "I don't really like you using hairspray, get rid of it for you."

He said that he didn't care about zero and started directly.Ling only felt that his head was hot and cold for a while, as if there was still a little wind blowing over him.The hair that fell on his cheeks was soft, hanging down, and looked very obedient under the light.

Zero then let Phoenix move casually on his head, and told him a secret: "There have been mutants in the Coney family since my father's generation, but in our generation, only a few are ordinary people. Howard grew up from a daughter I heard from the actors that my younger brother plans to get involved in the show business by the government. I guess he wants to use this method to let the outside world gradually know about mutants and face up to their existence."

"This is the dream of the Coney family. Phoenix, our family does not have very powerful mutants. When I was young, I would also be afraid of ordinary people, worrying that they would hurt us in turn. In fact, the president especially supports S.H.I.E.L.D. The construction of the S.H.I.E.L.D., which increased its scope of work to the study of supernatural forces and dealing with various strange events, was also obtained after screening and thinking. General Phillips, Howard, and Lieutenant Colonel Carter, who presided over the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D., all kept in mind The bottom line and persistence that a human being should have.”

"This is also Charles' dream," Phoenix had talked to and seen Charles, so he would pay attention to this kind of information for Charles, "He is full of justice and some idealized feelings of helping the world, which makes him willing Take the risk to take us in."

Phoenix doesn't like to owe anyone.

"He is very prestigious in the fields of genetics, biology, and psychology. S.H.I.E.L.D. will be very willing to accept him, even if he is not a mutant fighter," Zero said, thinking exactly what Phoenix thought, "to help a newborn group gradually enter the public eye , which cannot be done by individuals or small groups, and Charles will one day have to deal with the government."

"I'll tell him, but it's just about cooperation. If you let him know, he will definitely agree." It's not for the mutants, just because someone is trying to start a war with despicable means, that's enough for Charles to stand up.

If he has the ability to prevent the tragedy from happening and does nothing, he will think that he, too, is committing a crime.

"You can mention me, Charles wait a moment," Phoenix pinched Ling's face, "Howard went upstairs, I'm going back."

Phoenix's departure was just like his arrival, just as suddenly, and the sudden disappearance of the source of warmth made Ling almost unable to recover.

He touched his cheek that had just been pinched, and smiled helplessly.

Don't look at Howard had two drinks in one night, but when he came back, he didn't smell of alcohol at all, and his eyes were very clear.

Ling told him about Xiao and Hendry. He put down the water glass in his hand after hearing this, and said, "General Phillips went to the meeting. He still wondered why Hendry appeared suddenly, and changed his mind."

"I took some documents at Xiao's place, you can go back and see which ones are important."

"Mr. Xiao must be invited to sit down this time, but Andre," Howard hesitated, "you said that there are at least three mutants around him... I have to say that the general always has reservations about the existence of mutants." .Because you are all related to Hydera, and he didn't know that you could heal yourself. He always thought that you were like the captain, and you were injected with some serum to become like this. If we face Xiao with this attitude, we will probably suffer a disadvantage. "

Howard had never thought of exposing Andre's healing ability.Absolute healing is too tempting for human beings, Howard dare not use Andre's safety to challenge human desire.

Besides, the mutants around Xiao would not be the only ones in the world.Now that this kind of people have begun to appear and exist, they must understand them, and only by having a correct understanding can we treat them correctly.

"That friend of yours..." Howard put his mind on Phoenix.

Right from the start.He looks strong doesn't he?If I could join S.H.I.E.L.D....

Howard's next words could not be uttered under Andre's calm gaze.

The two faced each other in silence, Howard's eyes dodged for a short time, but finally he firmly looked at Zero.

Really, right from the start.When Howard knew that there were mutants in the world, he never forgot their existence, and he never forgot the young man named Phoenix.

"I'll get in touch with him," Zero said.

Howard gave an "um", and in order to avoid the awkward atmosphere, the two quickly ended their conversation.

Before going out, Howard said to Zero: "I will make a brief report in a while, and we will set off back to the headquarters tomorrow morning."

He sighed, finally couldn't take it anymore, and gave Andre some time to think about it.

"I just think that he has that kind of talent, and if he doesn't use it well, it's like a waste," Howard said palely, "But it's so late, I'm a scientific researcher, I really can't be compared with you professionals, there are omissions Inevitable."

Ling sent him to the door, he was stunned for a moment, and nodded: "Then you should rest early."

His ideal is obviously to be obsessed with research, but recently he started working part-time as an agent, which is really too much.Howard plucked his hair in distress, and returned to the room in frustration.

Zero wants to say that no matter what kind of talent Phoenix has, to put it bluntly, whether he wants to use it or not is his business, and others have no right to define what waste is for him.

But Howard also has a point. He... as he said, he doesn't like waste.Isn't he burning all day long for greater progress?

The author has something to say: I don’t know what rank Carter is. The stupid author has never read "Agent Carter", and I don’t know what rank the British Royal Army’s liaison officer in the United States is talking about in Baidu. This is Lieutenant Colonel.Because time passed so long, she built S.H.I.E.L.D. together.Then Carter, a British citizen with British nationality, is worried that some friends will feel uncomfortable thinking about it, so let me explain my understanding and my settings here.

First of all, the strategic scientific reserve department, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D., is composed of multiple countries. During the war, soldiers from multiple countries participated in its department, which makes sense.

Then after the war, temporarily use the following encyclopedia: the special forces of the International Security Council dedicated to dealing with various strange incidents.Because of the current Cold War period, international security probably means that both superpowers refrain from doing anything.Therefore, other countries may not participate on a large scale. It is assumed that the United Kingdom and the United States have always cooperated, so Carter continued to work in the United States and participated in the construction of S.H.I.E.L.D.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s scope of authority has been expanded, and S.H.I.E.L.D. has taken over all supernatural issues within the territory of the United Kingdom and the United States.
