Leaving Margaret's, Coulson opened the door of an unassuming sedan on the side of the road, and Fury threw himself into the passenger seat.
Coulson started the car: "Boss, I didn't expect you to come."
Fury: "If I don't come, your talk will collapse."
They are all old acquaintances, and Coulson didn't beat around the bush: "Why do you want to win him over?"
Recruiting Siberian snipers was initially Coulson's idea.
When 29-1 appeared for the first time, it had already been noticed by S.H.I.E.L.D.;
But what really tempted Coulson and wanted to recruit him was the Siberia base.
When replaying the entire rescue operation, Coulson discovered that this mosaic head, who was trying to make himself appear inconspicuous compared with the mercenaries, may have unimaginable and diverse superpowers.
Until now, it is likely that only the tip of the iceberg has been shown.
Superior sniping skills, hacking abilities, map scanning, space expansion and control magic, and possibly healing magic—
These abilities can't be matched together, but they are gathered in 29-1 in a mess.
This allows him to deal with it easily and casually no matter how bad the battle situation is.
It's no wonder that the mercenary who overcomes his teammates' physique unreservedly chooses him to be his backing.
Individual combat ability is strong enough, and there is an overall awareness that can only be accumulated after years of fighting. If such a talent hadn't appeared in the past two months, he would have been poached by the two major alliances or the X-Men. , How can it be the turn of S.H.I.E.L.D.
But there are so many capable mutants and Inhumans in the world that Coulson finally decided that 29-1 could become a "seed agent", as he frankly - must be some kind of precious quality.
It was the quality that was accidentally exposed when he abandoned the huge employment fee and chose to protect the hostages without hesitation when there were only two people.
Phil Coulson's level of strategy is slightly inferior to that of Nick Fury, but his vision of seeing people is always terrifyingly accurate-after all, Tony Stark just put on the armor back then, and in all When he was still a playboy who only wanted to pursue excitement in his eyes, he had already expressed to Fury that Iron Man definitely had the qualifications and character to become a backbone member of the Avengers Alliance that had not yet been established at that time.
Just as suspicious as Fury, he refused to believe it at the time, and reluctantly let Tony take the title of Avengers consultant first.
With ability and quality, Coulson only needs to confirm these two points.
Even if 29-1 wears a mosaic head every day, even the moles and mercenaries who are most familiar with him don't know his true face and origin, and even seems to be a little disgusted with superheroes, Coulson can still feel that his essence is Above are people like them—
Someone the world desperately needs.
Whether it's because of his professionalism or his instinct for a hero, Coulson doesn't want him buried here, deep in Gotham's speakeasies.
So here he comes.
...But he really didn't expect Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., to jump into his car halfway.
Fury: "Why is it called wooing? You call recruiting new recruits, and I call recruiting new recruits?"
Coulson: "You know the difference. I sincerely hope he'll work with us, but you're trying to get him on SHIELD's side."
Fury touched his chin in the passenger seat, hummed twice, and turned his head to look out the window:
"This person should have some kind of personal relationship with the captain. I flipped through the captain's previous investigation records. The captain has been investigating him since he came back from Siberia. I have also checked his true identity. I guess it will let you know Surprised. But you know—is it planI56 or I49...? Anyway, I won’t tell you, and I won’t keep a file in the Bureau. I just know.”
Coulson flashed his car and almost fell into a ditch.
Coulson stuttered angrily: "Furry, you are...using your power...seriously infringing on the privacy of your colleagues!! It belongs to public property...public property for private use!!!"
Fury: "Blablabla, blablabla. It's not the first day you know me, and you can spend less time on this process. The point is, you think this person is capable, and I think this person is capable, then I'll pay big bucks to get him into the bureau, Caseover."
Coulson: "I now doubt that what I think of as 'useful' is the same as what you think of as 'useful'."
Fury: "I can't answer you now, but when I saw this person for the first time, I had a very strange feeling."
Coulson: "How does it feel?"
Fury: "One day in the future, I'm going to think back to the conversation I had with you now, and I'm going to think back to when Gotham took this guy back to the bureau, and I'm going to slap my thigh and say I was so fucking prescient. Weird. Up." The first time I felt this way was when I typed the first word of the Avengers plan."
Coulson shook his head: "That may be your delusion. Although I can't agree with some of your work habits, there is no doubt that the Avengers project is one of the greatest and most visionary decisions of the twentieth century. 29- 1 is the most urgently needed combat talent in the bureau, and I really hope to convince him to stand side by side with us on the front line of protecting human beings, but the significance of recruiting and training a leading soldier is still not comparable to the Avengers plan.”
Fury flipped the rearview mirror: "That's why I said it was weird. But it doesn't matter, this guy is ours for sure. You found his timing is good, and we are kind of a gift in a timely manner. Missing this opportunity is a little bit Xuan. How could there be time to win over someone only when they are fully demonstrated to be useful?"
Coulson: "Yes, I remember, your employment philosophy."
After thinking of something, he said silently: "But the operation of the payroll, I really didn't think of it. It made me very curious, if there is a character that can check and balance Superman one day, I don't know if you can come up with it." How can I win him over?"
Unsurprisingly, as soon as he said the word "Superman", the atmosphere in the car turned cold.
"...Superman."
Fury gritted his teeth.
"If that kind of guy really has a weakness... I can give up the director's seat to that person."
The fact that Superman is a major concern for current President Lex Luthor is something that people all over the world are tacitly aware of.
But so far, only a few S.H.I.E.L.D. agents know that Superman is also a serious concern for S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury.
From a strategic point of view, a single punch can blow up the earth, and all the nuclear bombs in the world can't help him. His god-level combat power can only be restrained by his own personal morality - Nick Fury feels that it is simply Playing with the heads of all mankind.
Superman's hardware configuration is inherently terrifying, but for some reason, from a certain point in time, many people (especially the villains of Metropolis) have found that his combat awareness has suddenly increased by an order of magnitude, and his control over his own power , It has reached the point of perfection.
In 2014, there was a villain in Metropolis who was doing great things. He used several satellites to build a light filter in outer space, successfully allowing only the infrared rays in the sun to filter into the earth, and wanted to weaken Superman's power.
This can be regarded as a typical case of engaging in global people for the sake of one person.
When S.H.I.E.L.D. assembled its forces and was about to deal with the satellite filter first, Superman burst into the air with a sonic boom. Before his superpowers were exhausted, he rushed out of the range of the earth and the moon and reached the outer layer of the sun.
After recharging in front of the sun, he returned the same way, and the thermal sight easily swept the satellite filter into ashes.
"Nice try."
The god of the world floated behind the prisoner who was detained by S.H.I.E.L.D., and gently encouraged, "Next time, you can try to put a filter on the surface of the sun, or just dedicate your talents to astronomical research."
The prisoner spat at him: "Puff puff puff bah bah!!"
As Superman dodged and flew away quickly, all the saliva fell on Fury's face behind him.
Of course, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury is not the stingy Lex Luthor. It is impossible for him to hold prejudices against Superman outside the scope of work for the sake of a few spittle stars.
It’s just that when I chatted with Coulson about Superman by chance, Fury fell back on the passenger seat, rubbing his forehead and closing his eyes sadly:
"Damn it... I used to really trust him. You know I'm in this position... I've been battling the old and the young at the Bureau for so many years, how rare is it that I trust someone with all my heart? Last time When I gave this level of trust, it was when I met Captain Marvel in 95, how young I was at that time, black-skinned little fresh meat..."
Coulson: "Yeah yeah yeah you've said that over 200 times. Please don't act like a little girl who got tricked by a scumbag."
From 2012 to 2015, it was the most difficult three years for the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The mysterious person whose name has not yet been revealed revealed to him the list of Hydra infiltrations. Before that, Nick Fury, who had been promoted to the director for less than 5 years, had always foolishly thought that Hydra had long been in the It was wiped out during World War II.
Mysterious Man: "Choose two people from S.H.I.E.L.D. to help you. Proceed with caution and keep in touch."
Therefore, Fury chose his most loyal subordinates, as well as Captain America, who had dealt with Hydra head-on.
Cleaning up the door is a dangerous and extremely complicated thing. He has a list in his hand, but he can't hire a killer to kill everyone on the list. The above-mentioned Hydra, regardless of official position or seniority, is higher than Fury. They control the actual command of S.H.I.E.L.D. Colleagues, as long as they want, they can create trouble at any time, kill the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and then hang his name on the Wall of Courage hypocritically.
Surrounded by tigers and wolves, besieged on all sides, Fury felt a sense of ruthlessness in his heart.
That's fine, if you want to play dirty with him, then they will play dirty.
Nick Fury knows that he does not have Coulson, the US team, and the others. Anyway, he is someone who can occasionally do dirty work by any means. Since Hydra dares to play with people like him, it depends on who plays first. die.
The plan proposed by the mysterious person and named "Seed Agent" by Fury, also known as the internal shake-up of SHIELD, began in the winter of 2012.
Coulson is responsible for recruiting fresh blood with clean identities, the US team is responsible for training and confirming their loyalty, and Fury assigns "seed agents" to the most critical lifeline of S.H.I.E.L.D. - combat, scientific research and intelligence departments.
They have another nickname in S.H.I.E.L.D. - "Level Zero Agents".It seems that it will never be reused, and it is even difficult to improve the level. Like all agents, it follows the SO system and various complicated regulations of SHIELD.
But the actions of this group of people are only under the command of Fury.
In the beginning, there were only a few "seed agents", and then more and more like a snowball.They are countless unsharp wedges, firmly driven into the huge grassroots of S.H.I.E.L.D., and little by little the senior officers sent by Hydra.
In the plan, when Hydra disappears and S.H.I.E.L.D. completely completes the replacement, this group of low-level agents will become the backbone and mainstay of the new S.H.I.E.L.D.
On the eve of the Skull Island incident in 2015, Fury finally broke his face with these grandsons.
The Hydra spies looked back, only to suddenly realize that there were not many of them left - they had been sent to the battlefield one by one by Fury or thrown into prison.Only then did she become angry from embarrassment, and prepared to fight him to the death.
The mysterious man said in the secret channel: "Recently, Hydra will carry out an assassination plan against you. Be careful to hide your whereabouts and report to me every four hours."
They have been working together for three years, and Fury has a paper-thin level of trust in this anonymous partner who always holds first-hand information-for him, it is enough.
But there is one thing that often makes him feel uncomfortable:
What's the matter with the mysterious man's commanding tone like he's used to being the boss?
I am the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., I report to you? ? ?
Fury: "What if I don't report from now on?"
The mysterious man said calmly, "I'll waste some time."
...and it wasn't long before he knew what "wasting time" meant:
SHIELD's intelligence library was hacked to the point where it was completely paralyzed. The mysterious man searched through the information he needed for a while, then copied it away.
So from that year on, S.H.I.E.L.D. had to ask Tony Stark for help, and connected the top AI "Friday" to the S.H.I.E.L.D. The gate of emergency shutdown.
Friday was originally just a weak and helpless armor support system. During the years of confrontation between Stark and the mysterious man, he was abruptly pulled into an almighty big devil.
Jin can attack all the armed forces and communications of Skull Island, and retreat can flush the toilets of Fulian Building and SHIELD Academy dormitory, creating a tragic epic in which the AI world has done more than anyone else and coded less than anyone else.
And in the fifth hour after Fury decided not to bird You-Know-Who again, he was approached by the Hydra killer.
Sitting in the car, he kept shifting, stopped intermittently to take a puff of cigarettes, and saw a heavy armored vehicle coming at a high speed in the rearview mirror.
The scene is too exaggerated, Fury: "... Shit."
He had to close his eyes tightly, preparing for the terrible impact that was coming.
A bang!
And the creaking sound of twisted steel armor.
When Fury opened his eyes, he found himself still in the driver's seat, safe and sound.
About three meters in front of the car window, the god on earth was standing there motionless.
Due to the rapid fall from a high altitude, there are spider web-like cracks with a radius of five meters under his feet, and the red cloak is wrapped in fiery smoke, hunting and rolling in the wind.
The armored vehicle that hit him at high speed had been sunken in the middle, and the front of the vehicle seemed to have been cut in half.
Superman stepped forward and tore open the cockpit, strapping the dying driver to the bumper.
Then he returned to Fury's car, opened the door, and revealed that extremely handsome face:
"Are you all right, Chief? I think we need to move quickly."
When Superman opened his mouth to suggest, the strong body of steel became a solid shield, causing tons of bullets to pour down on his back.
The bullet casings and the flames flew together in the background, and the man's blue eyes, which were so pure that they were not human, were as warm and calm as ever, like the only quiet world in the flames of war.
"...the drawbridge effect, this is the drawbridge effect!" Fury yelled. "To borrow Luthor's words, 'This is the usual way that hypocritical alien steals people's hearts!'"
Coulson: "Yeah yeah right."
All in all, for a brief period in 2015, Fury received the services of a personal bodyguard from Earth's Mightiest Patronus.
During the same period, the Winter Soldier, who was originally sent to assassinate Fury, was also robbed back to S.H.I.E.L.D. by Superman and Captain America.
Superman said he was sent by his partner.
And tell Fury: "I will be responsible for your safety 24 hours a day, Director, but please don't take it lightly. Sometimes I may not be able to arrive in time, that's because I happen to be in the battle to protect Professor X."
In fact, for Fury, for the vast majority of people on this planet, there are very few opportunities to get close to the gods on earth.
People can always see that absolutely perfect face in the satellite images, in the crowd cameras shot from the ground, and in all kinds of deed reports.But only those who have been transported by Superman in danger, very few people in terms of human proportions, will know what it feels like to be within Superman's arm——
Regardless of whether the external environment is a world of ice and snow or a sea of corpses and blood, within this range, there will only be eternal warmth, safety and tranquility.
This is the protective force field that comes with Superman's body at work.
...And during those days when he was persistently hunted down by Hydra, Fury was fortunate to experience it once.
"...drawbridge attack!" Fury yelled. "It's a drawbridge attack!"
Coulson pinched his brows unconsciously: "..."
But even though he was being "attacked by the drawbridge", the chief agent still didn't forget his own job - he took this opportunity to carefully observe the hero who was promoted to the altar, and by the way, he skillfully used other people's words.
For some reason, he felt that this Superman was very different from before.
Where exactly is the "before" boundary? He couldn't guess it precisely, but based on the agent's intuition, he tentatively judged it to be around 2012.
When Superman first debuted, according to the pictures and videos, Fury can judge that he is always in a state of joy and perfection;
He loves this planet, and he loves all the people who live on it very much.
And he himself happened to have the power to help others, which obviously gave him great satisfaction.
He does a lot of things that even Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. find incomprehensible:
Such as saving cats, such as picking up balloons for a crying little girl.
It's not that these things are bad, but if the agents can have his power, maybe they will use this time to do things that are "more meaningful" in the eyes of the world-such as holding a nuclear bomb or something-although Superman has also taken care of it .
However, from a certain point onwards, Superman's perception of him completely changed.
He has become stronger than ever, and his fighting skills are frighteningly sophisticated.
Although he still loves this planet deeply and spends almost all his time protecting and saving it, Fury is keenly aware that there is a huge sense of lack in his mental state.
This makes Superman appear extremely indifferent and in a trance outside of the battle.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite told him that during that special private bodyguard period, when Superman was on standby, he would remain motionless for several hours or even ten hours, floating on the clouds.
The sky was full of stars falling towards him.
And the lonely god raised his head and stared at them all night, like a ghost left behind by the whole world.
Fury has seen many people who have lost loved ones in war.
Such people are usually difficult to hide.A part of life that was originally part of it was dug away in an extremely cruel way; the hole left behind will never heal in a lifetime.
Only when I dream back at midnight, I will be heartbroken again and again.
Out of the little empathy left by the agent leader, but also out of a kind of gratitude.
In 2019, when Superman suddenly came to Fury's house and asked about the whereabouts of the Soul Stone on Earth——
Although Fury clearly knows that the power of a gem itself is strong enough, once it is mastered by superman's level of combat power, it is likely to be a disaster of the level of the destruction of the solar system;
But the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. gritted his teeth, under the pressure that almost made his scalp tingle, and let go.
Then he saw Superman's unprecedented crazy behavior.
Superman spent three months sweeping all Hydra's underwater bases, found the gem, and left the earth like an arrow.
...there is no more text.
Fury: "...Damn it, I waited for him for three days so fucking stupid! I fucking thought he was enthusiastic about finding gems for us. I thought he would at least return them to S.H.I.E.L.D. Am I fucking stupid[email protected]#...I have never done such a stupid stupid X thing in my life%#..."
After confirming that Superman has left the range of the earth and the moon, the first thing Fury does is to contact Lex Luthor and form what Coulson called "the black and white bald alliance that aliens are not good things". The alliance of the "Kryptonian Strategic Issue Cooperation Alliance" will work together to formulate a series of plans on how to effectively control the Kryptonians strengthened by gems.
Coulson: "I heard that the main force of Zhenglian is still in the Xandar star field?"
The Xandar Star War that took place in January this year was a major event that SHIELD, the major superhero alliances, mutant forces, and even the presidents of various countries were paying attention to.
Talking about this matter, both of them looked serious.
Fury: "Information from the Green Lantern Corps and the Asgardians, Superman did not know how to trigger a planet-level explosion, and one person wiped out Thanos and his main army. But it is still unknown. Now The Green Lantern Corps and Zhenglian are cleaning up the aftermath of that war, intercepting the remnants of Thanos who want to go to Earth in batches, and looking for Superman's...possible remains."
Coulson frowned: "But, why? I think this is really not in line with Superman's style. Could it be because of the New York War?"
According to the information extracted on the Thanos spacecraft, it was indeed Thanos who instigated Loki to invade New York with an army of tens of thousands of Chitauri, which caused the heavy casualties in the New York War.
But including him, many people couldn't figure out why the chairman of Zhenglian, who had always advocated stationing on the earth, would suddenly abandon his companions, travel thousands of miles away, and take the initiative to declare war on Thanos.
The sphere of influence of Thanos is almost comparable to that of Darkseid. His move is almost equivalent to breaking into the enemy's base camp and single-handedly challenging the entire Apocalypse -- if it wasn't for the photo of the god of the world looking back in front of the black hole with his own eyes , he'd think it wasn't Superman at all, just a complete, desperate lunatic.
Coulson: "Pray that Zhenglian can find him safely. Zhenglian has been quiet enough these years. If Superman is lost again, it will be a fatal blow to them and the entire earth."
Fury: "I can only be sure of one thing - Superman's action must not have been reported to the Zhenglian consultant in advance."
Both of them had dealt with the dark consultant a few times, and they had heard something about the other's cold, powerful, almost paranoid desire to control.
So as soon as Fu Rui finished speaking, both of them showed Qi Qiran expressions.
"Okay," Coulson added dryly at last, "then I pray that when Superman is found—if he's safe—he returns to Earth alive and well."
……
at the same time.
Bat cave.
The vigilantes in blue and black tight uniforms are standing in front of a huge circular screen.
The pitch-black domino mask covered half of that charming face, leaving only the corners of the lips that seemed to be slightly hooked naturally, inviting kisses.
Ye Yi: "...So in the past, whenever Bruce had a meeting, everyone would be in advance; when it was my turn to have a meeting, you would be late an hour on average, right?"
As soon as the words fell, he saw the huge bat family in front of him, each with a plate of biscuits, and started to eat them.
Alfred shuttled gracefully among them, filling every masked vigilante with black tea.
Ye Yi: "...and I'm pretty sure you didn't even dare to drink water when Bruce was in a meeting."
Barbara: "Yeah, you know the difference between you and Bruce. At least he didn't have two ex-girlfriends in the meeting at the same time. Huh."
Nightwing: "..."
Huntress: "Then I guess, even though they are all ex-girlfriends, there are still priorities, huh? Every time you assign me to guard the Metropolis, the time must be twice as long as hers. Hehe."
Ye Yi was sweating profusely: "...I, I swear it's a fair distribution..."
Cassandra didn't say anything, as always, she huddled in a corner and wrote and drew.
And Batwoman Kate Kane leaned against her with a cold expression, and sneered slightly at Ye Yi: "Hehe, man."
Ye Yi: "..."
Ye Yi quickly turned to look at Tim, trying to ask his smart and well-behaved third brother for help;
Tim's response was to silently insert his head back into the coffee pot.
Brother, don't mess with me, anyway, the fire in his own backyard goes out by himself, he doesn't want to get wet, and he's still waiting for the meeting to go out with Stephanie.
He turned his head to look at Jason, who was squatting on the iron ladder.
Jason smiled at him quite gently, and flashed the dagger on his leg.
Ye Yi: "...Tibao, how about sending you to Metropolis next week?"
Tim jerked his head out of the coffee pot and looked at his brother in disbelief:
"This sells me???"
Ye Yi forced a smile: "...how can you say it's for sale? Didn't we agree, one person for a week?"
Since the martial law in the metropolis in 2015, the scope of the Bat Family's inspections is no longer limited to Gotham.
After the sudden departure of the real patron saint of Metropolis, the frequency of their inspections for neighbors has increased significantly-not an easy task, because Gotham itself is already a troubled city of sin after all.
Not to mention that the Metropolis is a weird place.
It's extremely extreme.
Most of the time, it is calm, peaceful and bright. Like Central City, it is rated as one of the top three livable cities in the United States, and it is much more peaceful than Gotham, which divides the land between two ends in three days;
But if there is any threat, the lesser half of the earth will have to suffer with it. The villain in 2014 who wanted to kill Superman and let all the people on earth bask in the sun is a typical case.
The Bat family is all ordinary humans who have received rigorous training. When dealing with the strange troubles of the Metropolis, even with Batman's careful plan, it will still be quite difficult;
Fortunately, the Avengers have provided a lot of help. Captain America and Iron Man often bring their companions to quickly support them, sharing a lot of pressure on them.
Ye Yi presided over the regular family meeting, assigned tasks to the members, and sent the two ex-girlfriends away in a cold sweat.
Holding the black tea, he waited in the bat cave alone for a while.
There was a slight flash on the circular screen, and a familiar logo appeared.
There is also a familiar, low and hoarse voice.
"Night Wing, Report."
Ye Yi listened carefully. In the background of the communication from the watchtower, there were many inaudible human voices.
When the man spoke, he still carried the ending tone of the previous communication. Presumably Batman was overloaded with multi-threaded work again, just like every day for 8 years.
He was worried, and pretended to be relaxed and made a joke: "You know that a real master of time management can take care of business and rest, right?"
Batman said calmly, "You've wasted three seconds."
Ye Yi: "Ouch! That's really stinging."
There were no particularly noteworthy events in Gotham and Metropolis this week. The main reason why Nightwing rushed back to Gotham from Manhattan was that his former Titans teammate, Raven, left the Titan Tower alone and disappeared for the time being.
The gemstone in Raven's forehead seals the powerful Sangong Demon. When she is sane, she must be tortured by the demon's ravings all the time-everyone of them knows this, and they have invited Doctor Strange to reinforce it. The seal on the gem.
Batman: "Contact Zatanna. Five years ago, I had her put a secret tracking spell on Raven."
Ye Yi: "Okay, received."
Batman was about to cut out the comms.
Nightwing: "...tomorrow is the day he leaves. Right, Bruce?"
The man was silent for a second.
Batman: "Yeah."
They both know what each other is talking about.
Before the restart, every year on this day, many people would always go back to the already empty rebel base camp.They didn't talk about anything, they didn't ask anything, but they knew each other.
As the law of world lines began to operate, fewer and fewer people returned to the base every year.
And Nightwing, like Batman, was the one who persisted until the last year.
The clock resets to zero and the world restarts.
When it was just restarted, Ye Yi didn't realize that the world had restarted.
And when he didn't recover his memory, Batman could not bear to say a word to him.
…When he accidentally regained his memory a year ago, he almost got into a fight with Bruce.
Nightwing waited for a while.
I didn't see him hang up, and didn't waste a few seconds listening to what he said again, so I leaned on the console and continued slowly to myself:
"Do you feel that there is a possibility that one day, he will suddenly fall out of the gap in time? I always had this dream a few days ago. You see, he didn't leave... a body or something , In fact, it is very possible that he did not die, but was temporarily stuck somewhere... If he is still alive now, maybe he..."
Batman ended the comm.
……
In a geosynchronous orbit 22 kilometers away from the earth, the Watchtower, the interstellar combat readiness base of the Justice League, is quietly floating here.
The consultant of Zhenglian, who was dressed in pitch black, looked at the special communication light screen belonging to the earth in front of him, and it slowly darkened.
Around his body, there are hundreds of identical translucent light screens floating.They represent an information network covering tens of thousands of light years, centered on him, and radiating in all directions.
To completely end an interstellar war, it is not as simple as Superman rushing into the enemy army and causing an annihilation-level explosion among them.
Since Clark did not greet anyone, traveled thousands of light years to find Thanos alone, and wiped out about 70.00% of the enemy's troops, Zhenglian consultants have been intensively dealing with all aftermath matters—of course, holding back their anger .
Much of his anger comes from the recognition that humans cannot control Superman, and—especially—disgust at how weak he is.
Even though Clark himself was willing to wear handcuffs back then, when he gradually and completely lost control, overturned all of Hydra's undersea bases in search of gems, and left Earth a year ago, Batman had actually been holding hands that could kill him instantly. his controller, but he was having trouble pressing that button.
Until Superman completely leaves the signal range of the controller.
This is Zhenglian's 179th search for the Xandar star battlefield this month.
A few months ago, a planetary annihilation-level explosion occurred here, reducing millions of alien troops to dust;
And after completely ending the pursuit of the Thanos army headed to the earth, starting from this month, their main task is to collect and detect the powder floating in the vacuum in this annihilation area with a diameter of 4400 million kilometers. .
And confirm whether it contains Kryptonian genes.
"Hey, Hal."
The Green Lantern sent by the OA star greeted Hal, "The guardians sent me to inform you that you should go back to the sector you are in charge of. I regret what happened to your friends, but after all the Green Lantern Corps Someone dies in the line of duty every year, and sometimes it's best to carry his spirit forward."
Hal: "I know what you mean, but unfortunately I have more than one boss."
The Green Lantern sighed, "But when are you looking for it like this, when are you going to find it?"
Hal turned on the communicator on his ear and asked the watchtower: "Boss, my colleague asked us when we will find it, how should I answer?"
Zhenglian consultant said calmly: "Until you find it."
Hal spread his hands and said to him, "Look, that's what I said too—until I find it."
The Green Lantern is gone.
Hal looked into the distance of the center of the explosion, which was dark and empty.
There was nothing there except countless spaceship wreckage and flesh powder.
In the distance, Wonder Woman and Cyborg are inspecting a half-blown battleship, trying to retrieve more battle footage from it.
And farther away, Hawkgirl cooperated with the Flash, who was wearing special equipment for the universe, to scan along the ruins inch by inch.
Hal rubbed his nose.
In fact, these people in front of him had never been in contact with him since a few years ago.
Looking at them at this time, I felt a little strange.
Everyone was silent, avoiding each other's eyes, and only immersed themselves in their own business.
It's like a tacit understanding.
Hal pretended to be relaxed and broke the calm: "Hello, princess. I just want to confirm one thing: so I'm not the only one who ran to the old bat crying after recovering his memory, and then was sternly warned to keep his mouth shut."
Coulson started the car: "Boss, I didn't expect you to come."
Fury: "If I don't come, your talk will collapse."
They are all old acquaintances, and Coulson didn't beat around the bush: "Why do you want to win him over?"
Recruiting Siberian snipers was initially Coulson's idea.
When 29-1 appeared for the first time, it had already been noticed by S.H.I.E.L.D.;
But what really tempted Coulson and wanted to recruit him was the Siberia base.
When replaying the entire rescue operation, Coulson discovered that this mosaic head, who was trying to make himself appear inconspicuous compared with the mercenaries, may have unimaginable and diverse superpowers.
Until now, it is likely that only the tip of the iceberg has been shown.
Superior sniping skills, hacking abilities, map scanning, space expansion and control magic, and possibly healing magic—
These abilities can't be matched together, but they are gathered in 29-1 in a mess.
This allows him to deal with it easily and casually no matter how bad the battle situation is.
It's no wonder that the mercenary who overcomes his teammates' physique unreservedly chooses him to be his backing.
Individual combat ability is strong enough, and there is an overall awareness that can only be accumulated after years of fighting. If such a talent hadn't appeared in the past two months, he would have been poached by the two major alliances or the X-Men. , How can it be the turn of S.H.I.E.L.D.
But there are so many capable mutants and Inhumans in the world that Coulson finally decided that 29-1 could become a "seed agent", as he frankly - must be some kind of precious quality.
It was the quality that was accidentally exposed when he abandoned the huge employment fee and chose to protect the hostages without hesitation when there were only two people.
Phil Coulson's level of strategy is slightly inferior to that of Nick Fury, but his vision of seeing people is always terrifyingly accurate-after all, Tony Stark just put on the armor back then, and in all When he was still a playboy who only wanted to pursue excitement in his eyes, he had already expressed to Fury that Iron Man definitely had the qualifications and character to become a backbone member of the Avengers Alliance that had not yet been established at that time.
Just as suspicious as Fury, he refused to believe it at the time, and reluctantly let Tony take the title of Avengers consultant first.
With ability and quality, Coulson only needs to confirm these two points.
Even if 29-1 wears a mosaic head every day, even the moles and mercenaries who are most familiar with him don't know his true face and origin, and even seems to be a little disgusted with superheroes, Coulson can still feel that his essence is Above are people like them—
Someone the world desperately needs.
Whether it's because of his professionalism or his instinct for a hero, Coulson doesn't want him buried here, deep in Gotham's speakeasies.
So here he comes.
...But he really didn't expect Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., to jump into his car halfway.
Fury: "Why is it called wooing? You call recruiting new recruits, and I call recruiting new recruits?"
Coulson: "You know the difference. I sincerely hope he'll work with us, but you're trying to get him on SHIELD's side."
Fury touched his chin in the passenger seat, hummed twice, and turned his head to look out the window:
"This person should have some kind of personal relationship with the captain. I flipped through the captain's previous investigation records. The captain has been investigating him since he came back from Siberia. I have also checked his true identity. I guess it will let you know Surprised. But you know—is it planI56 or I49...? Anyway, I won’t tell you, and I won’t keep a file in the Bureau. I just know.”
Coulson flashed his car and almost fell into a ditch.
Coulson stuttered angrily: "Furry, you are...using your power...seriously infringing on the privacy of your colleagues!! It belongs to public property...public property for private use!!!"
Fury: "Blablabla, blablabla. It's not the first day you know me, and you can spend less time on this process. The point is, you think this person is capable, and I think this person is capable, then I'll pay big bucks to get him into the bureau, Caseover."
Coulson: "I now doubt that what I think of as 'useful' is the same as what you think of as 'useful'."
Fury: "I can't answer you now, but when I saw this person for the first time, I had a very strange feeling."
Coulson: "How does it feel?"
Fury: "One day in the future, I'm going to think back to the conversation I had with you now, and I'm going to think back to when Gotham took this guy back to the bureau, and I'm going to slap my thigh and say I was so fucking prescient. Weird. Up." The first time I felt this way was when I typed the first word of the Avengers plan."
Coulson shook his head: "That may be your delusion. Although I can't agree with some of your work habits, there is no doubt that the Avengers project is one of the greatest and most visionary decisions of the twentieth century. 29- 1 is the most urgently needed combat talent in the bureau, and I really hope to convince him to stand side by side with us on the front line of protecting human beings, but the significance of recruiting and training a leading soldier is still not comparable to the Avengers plan.”
Fury flipped the rearview mirror: "That's why I said it was weird. But it doesn't matter, this guy is ours for sure. You found his timing is good, and we are kind of a gift in a timely manner. Missing this opportunity is a little bit Xuan. How could there be time to win over someone only when they are fully demonstrated to be useful?"
Coulson: "Yes, I remember, your employment philosophy."
After thinking of something, he said silently: "But the operation of the payroll, I really didn't think of it. It made me very curious, if there is a character that can check and balance Superman one day, I don't know if you can come up with it." How can I win him over?"
Unsurprisingly, as soon as he said the word "Superman", the atmosphere in the car turned cold.
"...Superman."
Fury gritted his teeth.
"If that kind of guy really has a weakness... I can give up the director's seat to that person."
The fact that Superman is a major concern for current President Lex Luthor is something that people all over the world are tacitly aware of.
But so far, only a few S.H.I.E.L.D. agents know that Superman is also a serious concern for S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury.
From a strategic point of view, a single punch can blow up the earth, and all the nuclear bombs in the world can't help him. His god-level combat power can only be restrained by his own personal morality - Nick Fury feels that it is simply Playing with the heads of all mankind.
Superman's hardware configuration is inherently terrifying, but for some reason, from a certain point in time, many people (especially the villains of Metropolis) have found that his combat awareness has suddenly increased by an order of magnitude, and his control over his own power , It has reached the point of perfection.
In 2014, there was a villain in Metropolis who was doing great things. He used several satellites to build a light filter in outer space, successfully allowing only the infrared rays in the sun to filter into the earth, and wanted to weaken Superman's power.
This can be regarded as a typical case of engaging in global people for the sake of one person.
When S.H.I.E.L.D. assembled its forces and was about to deal with the satellite filter first, Superman burst into the air with a sonic boom. Before his superpowers were exhausted, he rushed out of the range of the earth and the moon and reached the outer layer of the sun.
After recharging in front of the sun, he returned the same way, and the thermal sight easily swept the satellite filter into ashes.
"Nice try."
The god of the world floated behind the prisoner who was detained by S.H.I.E.L.D., and gently encouraged, "Next time, you can try to put a filter on the surface of the sun, or just dedicate your talents to astronomical research."
The prisoner spat at him: "Puff puff puff bah bah!!"
As Superman dodged and flew away quickly, all the saliva fell on Fury's face behind him.
Of course, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury is not the stingy Lex Luthor. It is impossible for him to hold prejudices against Superman outside the scope of work for the sake of a few spittle stars.
It’s just that when I chatted with Coulson about Superman by chance, Fury fell back on the passenger seat, rubbing his forehead and closing his eyes sadly:
"Damn it... I used to really trust him. You know I'm in this position... I've been battling the old and the young at the Bureau for so many years, how rare is it that I trust someone with all my heart? Last time When I gave this level of trust, it was when I met Captain Marvel in 95, how young I was at that time, black-skinned little fresh meat..."
Coulson: "Yeah yeah yeah you've said that over 200 times. Please don't act like a little girl who got tricked by a scumbag."
From 2012 to 2015, it was the most difficult three years for the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The mysterious person whose name has not yet been revealed revealed to him the list of Hydra infiltrations. Before that, Nick Fury, who had been promoted to the director for less than 5 years, had always foolishly thought that Hydra had long been in the It was wiped out during World War II.
Mysterious Man: "Choose two people from S.H.I.E.L.D. to help you. Proceed with caution and keep in touch."
Therefore, Fury chose his most loyal subordinates, as well as Captain America, who had dealt with Hydra head-on.
Cleaning up the door is a dangerous and extremely complicated thing. He has a list in his hand, but he can't hire a killer to kill everyone on the list. The above-mentioned Hydra, regardless of official position or seniority, is higher than Fury. They control the actual command of S.H.I.E.L.D. Colleagues, as long as they want, they can create trouble at any time, kill the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and then hang his name on the Wall of Courage hypocritically.
Surrounded by tigers and wolves, besieged on all sides, Fury felt a sense of ruthlessness in his heart.
That's fine, if you want to play dirty with him, then they will play dirty.
Nick Fury knows that he does not have Coulson, the US team, and the others. Anyway, he is someone who can occasionally do dirty work by any means. Since Hydra dares to play with people like him, it depends on who plays first. die.
The plan proposed by the mysterious person and named "Seed Agent" by Fury, also known as the internal shake-up of SHIELD, began in the winter of 2012.
Coulson is responsible for recruiting fresh blood with clean identities, the US team is responsible for training and confirming their loyalty, and Fury assigns "seed agents" to the most critical lifeline of S.H.I.E.L.D. - combat, scientific research and intelligence departments.
They have another nickname in S.H.I.E.L.D. - "Level Zero Agents".It seems that it will never be reused, and it is even difficult to improve the level. Like all agents, it follows the SO system and various complicated regulations of SHIELD.
But the actions of this group of people are only under the command of Fury.
In the beginning, there were only a few "seed agents", and then more and more like a snowball.They are countless unsharp wedges, firmly driven into the huge grassroots of S.H.I.E.L.D., and little by little the senior officers sent by Hydra.
In the plan, when Hydra disappears and S.H.I.E.L.D. completely completes the replacement, this group of low-level agents will become the backbone and mainstay of the new S.H.I.E.L.D.
On the eve of the Skull Island incident in 2015, Fury finally broke his face with these grandsons.
The Hydra spies looked back, only to suddenly realize that there were not many of them left - they had been sent to the battlefield one by one by Fury or thrown into prison.Only then did she become angry from embarrassment, and prepared to fight him to the death.
The mysterious man said in the secret channel: "Recently, Hydra will carry out an assassination plan against you. Be careful to hide your whereabouts and report to me every four hours."
They have been working together for three years, and Fury has a paper-thin level of trust in this anonymous partner who always holds first-hand information-for him, it is enough.
But there is one thing that often makes him feel uncomfortable:
What's the matter with the mysterious man's commanding tone like he's used to being the boss?
I am the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., I report to you? ? ?
Fury: "What if I don't report from now on?"
The mysterious man said calmly, "I'll waste some time."
...and it wasn't long before he knew what "wasting time" meant:
SHIELD's intelligence library was hacked to the point where it was completely paralyzed. The mysterious man searched through the information he needed for a while, then copied it away.
So from that year on, S.H.I.E.L.D. had to ask Tony Stark for help, and connected the top AI "Friday" to the S.H.I.E.L.D. The gate of emergency shutdown.
Friday was originally just a weak and helpless armor support system. During the years of confrontation between Stark and the mysterious man, he was abruptly pulled into an almighty big devil.
Jin can attack all the armed forces and communications of Skull Island, and retreat can flush the toilets of Fulian Building and SHIELD Academy dormitory, creating a tragic epic in which the AI world has done more than anyone else and coded less than anyone else.
And in the fifth hour after Fury decided not to bird You-Know-Who again, he was approached by the Hydra killer.
Sitting in the car, he kept shifting, stopped intermittently to take a puff of cigarettes, and saw a heavy armored vehicle coming at a high speed in the rearview mirror.
The scene is too exaggerated, Fury: "... Shit."
He had to close his eyes tightly, preparing for the terrible impact that was coming.
A bang!
And the creaking sound of twisted steel armor.
When Fury opened his eyes, he found himself still in the driver's seat, safe and sound.
About three meters in front of the car window, the god on earth was standing there motionless.
Due to the rapid fall from a high altitude, there are spider web-like cracks with a radius of five meters under his feet, and the red cloak is wrapped in fiery smoke, hunting and rolling in the wind.
The armored vehicle that hit him at high speed had been sunken in the middle, and the front of the vehicle seemed to have been cut in half.
Superman stepped forward and tore open the cockpit, strapping the dying driver to the bumper.
Then he returned to Fury's car, opened the door, and revealed that extremely handsome face:
"Are you all right, Chief? I think we need to move quickly."
When Superman opened his mouth to suggest, the strong body of steel became a solid shield, causing tons of bullets to pour down on his back.
The bullet casings and the flames flew together in the background, and the man's blue eyes, which were so pure that they were not human, were as warm and calm as ever, like the only quiet world in the flames of war.
"...the drawbridge effect, this is the drawbridge effect!" Fury yelled. "To borrow Luthor's words, 'This is the usual way that hypocritical alien steals people's hearts!'"
Coulson: "Yeah yeah right."
All in all, for a brief period in 2015, Fury received the services of a personal bodyguard from Earth's Mightiest Patronus.
During the same period, the Winter Soldier, who was originally sent to assassinate Fury, was also robbed back to S.H.I.E.L.D. by Superman and Captain America.
Superman said he was sent by his partner.
And tell Fury: "I will be responsible for your safety 24 hours a day, Director, but please don't take it lightly. Sometimes I may not be able to arrive in time, that's because I happen to be in the battle to protect Professor X."
In fact, for Fury, for the vast majority of people on this planet, there are very few opportunities to get close to the gods on earth.
People can always see that absolutely perfect face in the satellite images, in the crowd cameras shot from the ground, and in all kinds of deed reports.But only those who have been transported by Superman in danger, very few people in terms of human proportions, will know what it feels like to be within Superman's arm——
Regardless of whether the external environment is a world of ice and snow or a sea of corpses and blood, within this range, there will only be eternal warmth, safety and tranquility.
This is the protective force field that comes with Superman's body at work.
...And during those days when he was persistently hunted down by Hydra, Fury was fortunate to experience it once.
"...drawbridge attack!" Fury yelled. "It's a drawbridge attack!"
Coulson pinched his brows unconsciously: "..."
But even though he was being "attacked by the drawbridge", the chief agent still didn't forget his own job - he took this opportunity to carefully observe the hero who was promoted to the altar, and by the way, he skillfully used other people's words.
For some reason, he felt that this Superman was very different from before.
Where exactly is the "before" boundary? He couldn't guess it precisely, but based on the agent's intuition, he tentatively judged it to be around 2012.
When Superman first debuted, according to the pictures and videos, Fury can judge that he is always in a state of joy and perfection;
He loves this planet, and he loves all the people who live on it very much.
And he himself happened to have the power to help others, which obviously gave him great satisfaction.
He does a lot of things that even Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. find incomprehensible:
Such as saving cats, such as picking up balloons for a crying little girl.
It's not that these things are bad, but if the agents can have his power, maybe they will use this time to do things that are "more meaningful" in the eyes of the world-such as holding a nuclear bomb or something-although Superman has also taken care of it .
However, from a certain point onwards, Superman's perception of him completely changed.
He has become stronger than ever, and his fighting skills are frighteningly sophisticated.
Although he still loves this planet deeply and spends almost all his time protecting and saving it, Fury is keenly aware that there is a huge sense of lack in his mental state.
This makes Superman appear extremely indifferent and in a trance outside of the battle.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite told him that during that special private bodyguard period, when Superman was on standby, he would remain motionless for several hours or even ten hours, floating on the clouds.
The sky was full of stars falling towards him.
And the lonely god raised his head and stared at them all night, like a ghost left behind by the whole world.
Fury has seen many people who have lost loved ones in war.
Such people are usually difficult to hide.A part of life that was originally part of it was dug away in an extremely cruel way; the hole left behind will never heal in a lifetime.
Only when I dream back at midnight, I will be heartbroken again and again.
Out of the little empathy left by the agent leader, but also out of a kind of gratitude.
In 2019, when Superman suddenly came to Fury's house and asked about the whereabouts of the Soul Stone on Earth——
Although Fury clearly knows that the power of a gem itself is strong enough, once it is mastered by superman's level of combat power, it is likely to be a disaster of the level of the destruction of the solar system;
But the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. gritted his teeth, under the pressure that almost made his scalp tingle, and let go.
Then he saw Superman's unprecedented crazy behavior.
Superman spent three months sweeping all Hydra's underwater bases, found the gem, and left the earth like an arrow.
...there is no more text.
Fury: "...Damn it, I waited for him for three days so fucking stupid! I fucking thought he was enthusiastic about finding gems for us. I thought he would at least return them to S.H.I.E.L.D. Am I fucking stupid[email protected]#...I have never done such a stupid stupid X thing in my life%#..."
After confirming that Superman has left the range of the earth and the moon, the first thing Fury does is to contact Lex Luthor and form what Coulson called "the black and white bald alliance that aliens are not good things". The alliance of the "Kryptonian Strategic Issue Cooperation Alliance" will work together to formulate a series of plans on how to effectively control the Kryptonians strengthened by gems.
Coulson: "I heard that the main force of Zhenglian is still in the Xandar star field?"
The Xandar Star War that took place in January this year was a major event that SHIELD, the major superhero alliances, mutant forces, and even the presidents of various countries were paying attention to.
Talking about this matter, both of them looked serious.
Fury: "Information from the Green Lantern Corps and the Asgardians, Superman did not know how to trigger a planet-level explosion, and one person wiped out Thanos and his main army. But it is still unknown. Now The Green Lantern Corps and Zhenglian are cleaning up the aftermath of that war, intercepting the remnants of Thanos who want to go to Earth in batches, and looking for Superman's...possible remains."
Coulson frowned: "But, why? I think this is really not in line with Superman's style. Could it be because of the New York War?"
According to the information extracted on the Thanos spacecraft, it was indeed Thanos who instigated Loki to invade New York with an army of tens of thousands of Chitauri, which caused the heavy casualties in the New York War.
But including him, many people couldn't figure out why the chairman of Zhenglian, who had always advocated stationing on the earth, would suddenly abandon his companions, travel thousands of miles away, and take the initiative to declare war on Thanos.
The sphere of influence of Thanos is almost comparable to that of Darkseid. His move is almost equivalent to breaking into the enemy's base camp and single-handedly challenging the entire Apocalypse -- if it wasn't for the photo of the god of the world looking back in front of the black hole with his own eyes , he'd think it wasn't Superman at all, just a complete, desperate lunatic.
Coulson: "Pray that Zhenglian can find him safely. Zhenglian has been quiet enough these years. If Superman is lost again, it will be a fatal blow to them and the entire earth."
Fury: "I can only be sure of one thing - Superman's action must not have been reported to the Zhenglian consultant in advance."
Both of them had dealt with the dark consultant a few times, and they had heard something about the other's cold, powerful, almost paranoid desire to control.
So as soon as Fu Rui finished speaking, both of them showed Qi Qiran expressions.
"Okay," Coulson added dryly at last, "then I pray that when Superman is found—if he's safe—he returns to Earth alive and well."
……
at the same time.
Bat cave.
The vigilantes in blue and black tight uniforms are standing in front of a huge circular screen.
The pitch-black domino mask covered half of that charming face, leaving only the corners of the lips that seemed to be slightly hooked naturally, inviting kisses.
Ye Yi: "...So in the past, whenever Bruce had a meeting, everyone would be in advance; when it was my turn to have a meeting, you would be late an hour on average, right?"
As soon as the words fell, he saw the huge bat family in front of him, each with a plate of biscuits, and started to eat them.
Alfred shuttled gracefully among them, filling every masked vigilante with black tea.
Ye Yi: "...and I'm pretty sure you didn't even dare to drink water when Bruce was in a meeting."
Barbara: "Yeah, you know the difference between you and Bruce. At least he didn't have two ex-girlfriends in the meeting at the same time. Huh."
Nightwing: "..."
Huntress: "Then I guess, even though they are all ex-girlfriends, there are still priorities, huh? Every time you assign me to guard the Metropolis, the time must be twice as long as hers. Hehe."
Ye Yi was sweating profusely: "...I, I swear it's a fair distribution..."
Cassandra didn't say anything, as always, she huddled in a corner and wrote and drew.
And Batwoman Kate Kane leaned against her with a cold expression, and sneered slightly at Ye Yi: "Hehe, man."
Ye Yi: "..."
Ye Yi quickly turned to look at Tim, trying to ask his smart and well-behaved third brother for help;
Tim's response was to silently insert his head back into the coffee pot.
Brother, don't mess with me, anyway, the fire in his own backyard goes out by himself, he doesn't want to get wet, and he's still waiting for the meeting to go out with Stephanie.
He turned his head to look at Jason, who was squatting on the iron ladder.
Jason smiled at him quite gently, and flashed the dagger on his leg.
Ye Yi: "...Tibao, how about sending you to Metropolis next week?"
Tim jerked his head out of the coffee pot and looked at his brother in disbelief:
"This sells me???"
Ye Yi forced a smile: "...how can you say it's for sale? Didn't we agree, one person for a week?"
Since the martial law in the metropolis in 2015, the scope of the Bat Family's inspections is no longer limited to Gotham.
After the sudden departure of the real patron saint of Metropolis, the frequency of their inspections for neighbors has increased significantly-not an easy task, because Gotham itself is already a troubled city of sin after all.
Not to mention that the Metropolis is a weird place.
It's extremely extreme.
Most of the time, it is calm, peaceful and bright. Like Central City, it is rated as one of the top three livable cities in the United States, and it is much more peaceful than Gotham, which divides the land between two ends in three days;
But if there is any threat, the lesser half of the earth will have to suffer with it. The villain in 2014 who wanted to kill Superman and let all the people on earth bask in the sun is a typical case.
The Bat family is all ordinary humans who have received rigorous training. When dealing with the strange troubles of the Metropolis, even with Batman's careful plan, it will still be quite difficult;
Fortunately, the Avengers have provided a lot of help. Captain America and Iron Man often bring their companions to quickly support them, sharing a lot of pressure on them.
Ye Yi presided over the regular family meeting, assigned tasks to the members, and sent the two ex-girlfriends away in a cold sweat.
Holding the black tea, he waited in the bat cave alone for a while.
There was a slight flash on the circular screen, and a familiar logo appeared.
There is also a familiar, low and hoarse voice.
"Night Wing, Report."
Ye Yi listened carefully. In the background of the communication from the watchtower, there were many inaudible human voices.
When the man spoke, he still carried the ending tone of the previous communication. Presumably Batman was overloaded with multi-threaded work again, just like every day for 8 years.
He was worried, and pretended to be relaxed and made a joke: "You know that a real master of time management can take care of business and rest, right?"
Batman said calmly, "You've wasted three seconds."
Ye Yi: "Ouch! That's really stinging."
There were no particularly noteworthy events in Gotham and Metropolis this week. The main reason why Nightwing rushed back to Gotham from Manhattan was that his former Titans teammate, Raven, left the Titan Tower alone and disappeared for the time being.
The gemstone in Raven's forehead seals the powerful Sangong Demon. When she is sane, she must be tortured by the demon's ravings all the time-everyone of them knows this, and they have invited Doctor Strange to reinforce it. The seal on the gem.
Batman: "Contact Zatanna. Five years ago, I had her put a secret tracking spell on Raven."
Ye Yi: "Okay, received."
Batman was about to cut out the comms.
Nightwing: "...tomorrow is the day he leaves. Right, Bruce?"
The man was silent for a second.
Batman: "Yeah."
They both know what each other is talking about.
Before the restart, every year on this day, many people would always go back to the already empty rebel base camp.They didn't talk about anything, they didn't ask anything, but they knew each other.
As the law of world lines began to operate, fewer and fewer people returned to the base every year.
And Nightwing, like Batman, was the one who persisted until the last year.
The clock resets to zero and the world restarts.
When it was just restarted, Ye Yi didn't realize that the world had restarted.
And when he didn't recover his memory, Batman could not bear to say a word to him.
…When he accidentally regained his memory a year ago, he almost got into a fight with Bruce.
Nightwing waited for a while.
I didn't see him hang up, and didn't waste a few seconds listening to what he said again, so I leaned on the console and continued slowly to myself:
"Do you feel that there is a possibility that one day, he will suddenly fall out of the gap in time? I always had this dream a few days ago. You see, he didn't leave... a body or something , In fact, it is very possible that he did not die, but was temporarily stuck somewhere... If he is still alive now, maybe he..."
Batman ended the comm.
……
In a geosynchronous orbit 22 kilometers away from the earth, the Watchtower, the interstellar combat readiness base of the Justice League, is quietly floating here.
The consultant of Zhenglian, who was dressed in pitch black, looked at the special communication light screen belonging to the earth in front of him, and it slowly darkened.
Around his body, there are hundreds of identical translucent light screens floating.They represent an information network covering tens of thousands of light years, centered on him, and radiating in all directions.
To completely end an interstellar war, it is not as simple as Superman rushing into the enemy army and causing an annihilation-level explosion among them.
Since Clark did not greet anyone, traveled thousands of light years to find Thanos alone, and wiped out about 70.00% of the enemy's troops, Zhenglian consultants have been intensively dealing with all aftermath matters—of course, holding back their anger .
Much of his anger comes from the recognition that humans cannot control Superman, and—especially—disgust at how weak he is.
Even though Clark himself was willing to wear handcuffs back then, when he gradually and completely lost control, overturned all of Hydra's undersea bases in search of gems, and left Earth a year ago, Batman had actually been holding hands that could kill him instantly. his controller, but he was having trouble pressing that button.
Until Superman completely leaves the signal range of the controller.
This is Zhenglian's 179th search for the Xandar star battlefield this month.
A few months ago, a planetary annihilation-level explosion occurred here, reducing millions of alien troops to dust;
And after completely ending the pursuit of the Thanos army headed to the earth, starting from this month, their main task is to collect and detect the powder floating in the vacuum in this annihilation area with a diameter of 4400 million kilometers. .
And confirm whether it contains Kryptonian genes.
"Hey, Hal."
The Green Lantern sent by the OA star greeted Hal, "The guardians sent me to inform you that you should go back to the sector you are in charge of. I regret what happened to your friends, but after all the Green Lantern Corps Someone dies in the line of duty every year, and sometimes it's best to carry his spirit forward."
Hal: "I know what you mean, but unfortunately I have more than one boss."
The Green Lantern sighed, "But when are you looking for it like this, when are you going to find it?"
Hal turned on the communicator on his ear and asked the watchtower: "Boss, my colleague asked us when we will find it, how should I answer?"
Zhenglian consultant said calmly: "Until you find it."
Hal spread his hands and said to him, "Look, that's what I said too—until I find it."
The Green Lantern is gone.
Hal looked into the distance of the center of the explosion, which was dark and empty.
There was nothing there except countless spaceship wreckage and flesh powder.
In the distance, Wonder Woman and Cyborg are inspecting a half-blown battleship, trying to retrieve more battle footage from it.
And farther away, Hawkgirl cooperated with the Flash, who was wearing special equipment for the universe, to scan along the ruins inch by inch.
Hal rubbed his nose.
In fact, these people in front of him had never been in contact with him since a few years ago.
Looking at them at this time, I felt a little strange.
Everyone was silent, avoiding each other's eyes, and only immersed themselves in their own business.
It's like a tacit understanding.
Hal pretended to be relaxed and broke the calm: "Hello, princess. I just want to confirm one thing: so I'm not the only one who ran to the old bat crying after recovering his memory, and then was sternly warned to keep his mouth shut."
