[Comprehensive Anglo-American] The First Mutant

The plan didn't change quickly. Early the next morning, Zero and Howard found out that Lieutenant Colonel Carter was there after boarding the plane. The latter was holding a cup of black tea and had obviously been waiting for them for a while.

"Morning? Minister Carter?" Howard was a little confused.

"Mr. Stark, and," the mature woman smiled and said, "Mr. Clifford, we may want to talk about what happened last night while we have a limited time."

Realizing that some accidents might have happened, the two of them naturally didn't talk too much and sat down one after another.

The female agent who was replacing the aging General Phillips and gradually taking over the command of S.H.I.E.L.D. did not exchange many pleasantries, and said straight to the point: "I think you know the work of S.H.I.E.L.D., one of which is accidents caused by supernatural forces. We all need a hand." Responsible. Just yesterday, a CIA agent said that he saw a woman whose body could turn into a diamond and a man who suddenly disappeared. Whether this matter is true or not, we have to verify it and deal with it if possible But the problem now is that we know part of the CIA's intelligence, and the CIA also knows that we have their intelligence here, and we are going to their headquarters."

"Is it Shaw's contact with the Soviets?" Howard asked. "I think I should pass it on to you yesterday."

"Yes, so they believe that it involves national security, SHIELD cannot handle it alone, and needs to be disclosed to them." Lieutenant Colonel Carter spoke with a tone unique to the British region.

Howard frowned and said, "That is to say, we are going to receive colleagues from the CIA who are coming to travel during this time?"

"Yes," the female officer from the United Kingdom replied in the affirmative, "probably one of the managers of S.H.I.E.L.D. is British and they feel that they cannot be trusted."

Howard and Zero looked at each other, which means that the report for a while needs to be carried out in the CIA.At the same time, the CIA will also participate in the follow-up work?

Zero said to Carter: "There are indeed mutants. I'm sure the three people around Xiao are not 'ordinary people' like me who don't have superpowers. In addition, I also know mutants who have spiritual dialogue with people, instant The ability to move."

Under Zero's deliberate practice, he will also speak with a non-obvious British accent, which makes him sound like he is indeed of British descent, but he doesn't look like an authentic British person.This just fits his setting, an adventurer who loves wild adventures after retiring, and has stayed in the wild longer than in human society.

"This way..." Carter was a little apprehensive about Zero, a part-time agent with a special identity and a superficially simple appearance. She thought that if she continued, she might open the door to a new world. Not everyone is lucky enough to meet some amazing friends, Mr. Clifford."

Carter didn't choose to meet the legendary mutant.She thought that since the other party did not want to be named and never showed up, he might just want to live an ordinary life.Then she didn't have to pull people into the trenches—at least not yet.

Her different attitude from Howard also made Zero relieved, so that Phoenix could have a stable time to discuss with Charles.

He didn't say what the mutant he knew was called, or how many there were.This is his trick, after all, he doesn't know how Phoenix and Charles communicate.That mentioned mutant could end up being one, or two.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. helicopter flew towards the CIA headquarters in Virginia, discussing with the CIA director and starting the operation to capture Shaw.After consulting the information, Maura Mark Taggart, a CIA agent who asked for leave to fly to Oxford, looking for an expert in genetic variation, was passionate about her work. She didn't know that what she reported had been taken seriously by the leadership.

In Zero's words, he met a CIA agent, but he didn't look very professional, he didn't bring any tools to intercept materials, and a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.He ran into her in the darkroom, brought her out safely, and was gone.

"Drink-drink-drink-"

In the bar, Charles, who was surrounded by a group of young people, squinted his eyes, and the mixed liquor poured down his throat continuously.The liquid in the cup became less and less, but the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and at the highest point it exploded into a cheer.

"I'm so proud of you." Rui Wen hugged the young man who had finished drinking.

Proud of what he has achieved at a young age, and also proud of his performance just now, this powerful man is her brother!

Having fun, Charles came out of the crowd with Raven in his arms. Seeing Phoenix sitting at the table looking at him with his head propped up, the row of wine glasses in front of him was already empty. He couldn't help but asked his friend with a smile, "Would you like another drink?" Phoenix?"

Somewhat provocative.

Phoenix raised his eyebrows and said without pressure: "I surrender, great hero."

Charles' smug smile was stopped by a blonde beauty sitting in front of the bar. He assured with his excellent eyesight that the beauty had eyes of different colors.

"Hey, look at that girl." Charles said, leaving his sister with his friend and running away.

Facing the swollen face of Raven, Phoenix stuffed the remaining cherry in the glass into his mouth in order not to laugh out loud, "Every time I go to the bar, Charles becomes very interesting."

To be precise, he would be very high after drinking some wine, as if he had forgotten all his troubles, revealing his long-suppressed vitality.

Ruiwen snorted helplessly, then turned her head and squinted at Phoenix: "You really stopped drinking?"

Unlike Charles, who was clearly slightly drunk and slowly letting himself go, Phoenix's complexion was still pale, and his red eyes were clear and gentle. It seemed that those ten cocktails had no effect on him at all.

It was as if he drank a cup of tea in a leisurely afternoon, with a beautiful poem on his lap, and as he slowly appreciated it, he washed away the years.

"Everything must be done in moderation." Phoenix put on a serious look.

Raven rolled her eyes at him, "It's like you weren't the one who ate dessert for three a few hours ago."

Phoenix secretly picked up the remaining cherries at the bottom of the cup and ate them.

"Hey, look," Raven poked Phoenix, "Charles looks very popular today."

"He has always been very popular." Phoenix adjusted his sitting posture, continued to support his head, and looked at the girl who took the initiative to talk to Charles.

Coincidentally, this girl Phoenix has also seen, in Zero's memory.

"What do you think he will say?" Ruiwen made a strange look.

At this time, Charles was reaching for the girl's hair, and the two whispered almost simultaneously: "Hair, mutant Mcr-1."

Then, the mutants' excellent hearing allowed them to hear Charles say in an obviously drunk coquettish voice: "For your beautiful smile and beautiful mutant Mcr-1 gene, we can chat for 5 minutes."

The two laughed at the same time.

Charles probably loses his memory automatically every time he wakes up, and he doesn't remember that when he was drunk, he liked to use his various genes to talk about things when he chatted with girls.

Raven stood up, "Looks like I'm going to get a Coke myself."

While listening carefully to what the female agent said to Charles, Phoenix reminded Raven: "I will sue you for drinking."

"How could someone say the complaint so frankly?" Ruiwen felt that she had never seen such a brazen person.

Phoenix told her, "Yes, my dear."

Phoenix discussed with Charles after he got the information from Zero. As he said, Charles was eager to do something for the mutants and his ethnic group deep in his heart.

——Riwen had an awkward fight with me before, saying that I didn't understand her panic when facing the crowd.

——But I actually understand, I have been trying to find a way to allow us to walk safely among the crowd.

——I hope that in my lifetime, mutants and ordinary people live in peace, and neither will feel uneasy about the existence of the other.

——This is the greatest wish of my life.

Charles has talked a lot with Phoenix, and it can be seen from his published papers that he has never stopped pursuing this dream.

The Mark Taggart agent probably also found out about the paper published by Charles, so he asked him to verify whether mutants already existed.

Phoenix had a premonition that a storm was coming.

When Charles heard Agent Mark Taggart ask him whether the mutation mentioned in his paper had already occurred, whether there were mutants in the world, he immediately felt that something was wrong.He surreptitiously checked Agent Mark Taggart's memory, then shot Phoenix over his shoulder.

[You didn't tell me that things would be so serious! 】Charles conveyed a little anger, 【Phoenix, mutants and state secrets are also involved! 】

Well, in order to get Charles to think about it, Phoenix only said that S.H.I.E.L.D. was going to work with them because Zero was doing well, without saying why, or what happened.

【If I say it, you will agree on the spot.I don't want you to make a decision without thinking it through. After all, this is working for the government, Charles. 】

Not personally, you can leave anytime.But once the government wants to do something to a person, it is very dangerous for that person.

[Zero is there, if the situation gets worse, I will go there first. 】

Charles was silent for a moment, then turned away angrily.

Fortunately, that little anger disappeared.

Charles promised Agent Mark Taggart that he would help, and sent her back to the hotel, making an appointment to book a flight back to the United States the next morning.

He had already decided to work with S.H.I.E.L.D. before Mark Taggart arrived, so today would be his last lecture at Oxford, which would have been a happy farewell.

Phoenix sat on the sofa, watched Charles pack up his things silently, and finally couldn't help but surrender: "I made a mistake, Charles, and I won't hide it from you next time."

"I appreciate you thinking about me, Phoenix," Charles said helplessly, "You can tell me and discuss with me, instead of hiding it from me in the name of being good to me. Next time you encounter such a situation, you should still You're going to hide it from me, right?"

"I'm sorry, I'm worried that you chose a road that you regret in the future on impulse, and then I will feel guilty."

"Think carefully before doing it, and you won't regret it if you do it. This is what you told me." Charles said.

"Okay, I'll try to change it."

"I'm really curious about how old you are." Let Charles sometimes empathize with Raven... Speaking of which, he shouldn't treat Raven like Phoenix sometimes treats him, right?

"I don't remember either, I haven't recovered yet."

Charles folded the vest and put it in the suitcase, and asked him, "Then what ability are you going to expose?"

In the plan discussed by Phoenix and Charles, Phoenix, as their retreat, cannot expose their full strength.

First of all, as he said, he is not fully recovered.Secondly, it is easy to cause panic among ordinary people.

Mutants have one or two superpowers, which are still within controllable range.Like Phoenix, he himself can't remember how many abilities he has, and superpowers come easily, even Charles, who is also a mutant, finds it outrageous.

"Teleportation, fire, and telepathy, these three have been exposed, and if they are concealed, people will be suspicious." Although only Howard knows these things now, considering each other's positions, Phoenix would rather confess by himself, so as to avoid a zero-summer battle with Howard in the future. Do.

"Change to move instantly within the field of vision, condensing a small amount of fire and weak telepathy within the field of vision."

Charles nodded, "You are these, I am a telepathy with a radius of 1 meters after staying for more than 50 minute..."

Seeing that Charles stopped, Phoenix couldn't help but pat him, and said for him: "Riwen is pretending to be someone she's seen within half an hour! Please, Ruiwen is already packing up, you dare to rule her out Outside of the plan, she will definitely hate you."

"No, I'm just wondering if there's anything missing." Charles argued.

"It's okay, I'll take your hair. I hid a bunch of hair in school. If something goes wrong, even if my power is blocked, I can teleport you back."

Phoenix learned a lot from a fall, and most of the energy he absorbed recently was used to strengthen his spirit.

Because there is a large memory gap in the spiritual world, which makes his spirit very unstable, he was blown up by Odin's treasure and lost his sanity and was finally arrested.If it was him now, even though he would be seriously injured, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

"I'll go get in touch with Zero." The S.H.I.E.L.D. agency was agreed upon, but it turned out to be the CIA.Given a choice, Phoenix would of course prefer to work with the familiar S.H.I.E.L.D.

The author has something to say: so this volume can also be called how mutants became civil servants and abducted the future leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.

=. = The process of inviting the boss was not very smooth, and I actually started caving, huh
