[Comprehensive] Science and Magic

own casual clothes, and said, "Am I unprofessional when I dress like this?"

"What?" Coulson was obviously confused.

"I mean, you'd look more like a solid detective that way."

It took Coulson a while to realize what Laura was struggling with."You dress professionally like that," he said. "We advertise you as an expert in psychology and language. You know, that kind of person always looks a little special."

"Oh, so I'm a language expert again now?"

"Well, for this mission, language experts are more convincing. There may be alien writing on the falling meteorite or something." Coulson said.

"Are you sure it's an alien visitor?"

"We're keeping a close eye on an astrophysicist named Jane Foster. She's recorded, no, she's predicted seventeen auroral times. This is No. 18. She's doing a A study on the Einstein-Rosen bridge theory." Coulson said, looking at Laura, "Oh, I forgot, you don't know anything about this."

"Yeah, you don't need to remind me. Anyway, you analyze it from a scientific point of view, and I," Laura took out a thick book of spells from her handbag, "I have prepared various detection spells."

The car turned a corner, and Coulson drove onto the interstate.The speed of the car has increased a lot, but it is still not as good as Tony's modified sports cars.Looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, Laura suddenly said, "I heard that you have a favorite car, the kind that can fly into the sky."

Coulson smiled triumphantly, as if his beloved child was being praised.But soon, he didn't know what to think of, and he showed a constipated expression again.

"Natasha told you?"

"That's right. I haven't seen a car that can fly into the sky." Laura turned her head and said excitedly: "I heard that there were wizards in England who used magic to transform motorcycles and cars so that they could fly. , but no one around me has done this before. Speaking of which, it is illegal for wizards to modify No-Maj items without authorization." Laura frowned as she said, "Your car should not be done by a wizard, right? ..."

"No, it's just a little anti-gravity system." Coulson denied: "Stark's father put forward this idea as early as the World Expo of Tomorrow during World War II, and we are just making it a reality now."

"Stark's father. He...he is really a very powerful person." Laura said with admiration.Then she continued the previous topic and asked: "I heard that you like that car very much, and you even gave it a name."

Coulson's expression looked very tangled, as if he was very unwilling to talk.

Laura asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Coulson sighed, "I didn't know you when I named her."

"Ok?"

"Her name is Laura."

Well.Now Laura knew the reason for Natasha's mysterious smile when she told her this.

They drove for a long time and did not arrive at the small town called "Old Bridge Town" until the next morning.The crater mentioned in the report has been surrounded by the No-Maj crowd, and everyone seems to have turned this place into a small entertainment venue-Laura saw that there were No-Maj selling grilled sausages and beer.Coulson called Fury to report on the situation, and Laura raised the binoculars.

"That's—a hammer?" said Laura hesitantly.

"Whatever it is, we have to clear out these idlers first. Follow-up troops will be here soon."

"Ah, that's easy, I can do it by myself." Laura first took out a pair of glasses from her bag and handed them to Coulson, "Put them on, and don't shoot when you see the red human-shaped halo—that's Invisible me."

This is Laura's first field mission, and she's confident and ready to flex her muscles.She cast the Disappearance Charm on herself, then Apparated into the middle of the crowd and began casting the No-Maj Repelling Charm.The No-Majs watching suddenly remembered all kinds of urgent matters and left there one after another.

When Laura went to call Coulson, she found that Coulson was also sitting in the car and starting the car.

"Coulson? What are you doing?"

"Oh Laura, I just remembered I have one more thing—"

"Wait." Coulson said suddenly.

"Wait." Laura said too.

They looked at each other.

"I'm so sorry, Coulson. Cursestop—I forgot you were a No-Maj."

"It's really amazing magic." Coulson said with his usual smile.Although his smile at this time is strange. "But I think we'll have to deal with it in our normal way."

"Ok."

"Before then, you can go about your work—in case some instrument detects your presence."

Laura conducted a thorough investigation of the hammer-like thing in the crater before the FBI and S.H.I.E.L.D. backup arrived.When the follow-up troops arrived, the FBI team members showed their IDs and persuaded the rest of the onlookers to leave.They quickly assembled a temporary base on the spot, and moved down and installed truck after truck of testing equipment.

Laura lifted the Disillusionment Charm and pretended to have just gotten out of a car.She walked up to Coulson, and Coulson asked, "What did you find?"

"I believe it has a consciousness of its own. It's kind of like the 'sword in the stone', only the chosen ones can hold it." Laura found Coulson looking at her subtly, and added: "Oh, don't look like that Me. The sword in the stone is real—King Arthur and Merlin were once friends. Arthur is the king of men, and Merlin is our god."

"Even if I knew it came from outer space, your statement completely exceeded my expectations." Coulson said suspiciously.

"Anyway, that's my conclusion. Maybe your science team can give you a better answer," Laura said. "Then I'll go first? I'm a little hungry now, and I'm going to town to get something to eat. Do you want to bring something?"

Coulson gave Laura a separate encrypted signal segment.

"Burrito, thank you." He tapped his bluetooth headset as he said, "Contact me anytime if you have anything to do."

Laura was a little bored after returning from town.She didn't know anything about the colorful data images on the computer screen, and Coulson was eating a burrito while he was busy.Fortunately, she found another acquaintance.She quietly Apparated to the lookout and launched the sneak attack first.

Clint reacted very quickly.After a few moves against the air, he shouted helplessly: "Laura?"

"Surprise~?" Laura said with a smile.

"That's right, you've made a lot of progress." Clint faced Laura—although it was all empty in his eyes—and said, "Nata also taught you very well when I was away."

"But even if you can't see me, you can always hit me." Laura sighed.

"Son, this is the experience gained in actual combat." Clint gave a short laugh.Then his face suddenly changed, and he raised the bow and arrow in his hand. "There are intruders," he said gravely.

It was eight o'clock in the evening, and it was completely dark.Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and soon, it began to rain.

"Who is that?" Laura said, looking at the ground.

A strong man with a height of at least 1.9 meters broke into the camp.He has long hair and a beard, and looks a little scary after being drenched in the rain.The man had brute strength, and in just a few minutes, he had knocked down several agents and broke into the temporary shed.

The rain is getting heavier.

"Waterproof and moistureproof," Laura said, pointing her wand at herself and Clint.

Coulson's voice came from the intercom: "Barton? Report the situation to me."

"Do you want me to kill him, sir?" Clintra said, pointing the arrow at the figure of the intruder in the shed. "Or do you want to send more people to capture him alive?"

"Wait for my order," Coulson said.

"He doesn't look like he wants to hurt anyone, he just wants to go to the hammer," Laura said, looking over. "What the hell is he trying to do? See if he can pull the hammer out?"

"Better give the order, Coulson." The big man had already defeated the strongest agent in the entire camp, and Clint seemed to have lost his patience: "If you don't speak again, I'm going to kill this guy."

"Wait. I want to see what he wants to do," Coulson said.

The big guy finally reached the center of the crater.Laura saw that he seemed to be grinning—he put out a hand and took the handle of the hammer.

The hammer remained motionless.

The smile on the big man's face disappeared.He tried hard with both hands, his arms were knotted with veins, but he still failed to pull the hammer up.

"It doesn't look like King Arthur, this contestant," Laura commented.

"The performance is over. Ground troops, move." Coulson waved his hand, and several agents arrested the man who was kneeling on the ground and screaming.This time the man showed no resistance and looked very decadent.

Laura pressed the Bluetooth headset button.She said to Coulson: "You know what? I still stand by my judgment. This man must know something."

"Your 'Sword in the Stone' set?"

"No. He wasn't chosen—but he thought he would be," said Laura.

"I don't know. He makes my men look like the cheapest security guards in the mall, I doubt where he was trained."

"I think I'll have to do a closer test," Laura said. "Will I be detected by a machine in the past now?"

"That thing has very strong arc shock interference now, and our machinery has been destroyed to detect it. Go."

Lara Apparated to the center of the pit.How many times she circled the hammer
