Chapter 63: Can You Dance?
When Steve returns to the living room, Tony lands outside.
This can actually be regarded as the first meeting between Tony and Captain America.
It's just that including Shen He, the faces of the three people are not very good-looking.
"River, the aircraft carrier base is solved?" Tony stepped out of his armor and sat down on the couch with a blank face, "Jarvis searched and found that the aircraft carrier was sunk by missiles from various countries. ”
"That's right." Shen He nodded, "But it was restored by Qi Mu, and now it is under the sea, you can go and repair and modify it when you have time, you can use it when the aliens invade." ”
"Alien invasion? What an alien invasion. "Steve felt like he was being hidden from a lot of things.
"Why is this GI still here while we're discussing classified information?" Tony looked at Shen He, "Do you really want him to join us, I thought he was just a front to be pushed in front of people, oh yes, I saw his battle live, Qi Mu must have wasted a lot of effort to let him use his shield to take down a plane." ”
“...... I thought you were looking for me. Steve grimaced, "If you guys think I'm useless, I can get out of here." ”
"No, no, you're useful, like a stage actor, and I know, people like to watch you flex your muscles at the camera." Tony seemed to be suppressing his anger, "But, River, you really should let Qi Mu help me, isn't it more important to save a few promising young people than to make this GI a hero?" ”
“...... If S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters were captured, the sacrifice would have been even greater. Shen He shook his head lightly, "We can't save everyone. ”
"Even if you knew and planned it all a long time ago?" Tony raised his voice, gasped, and closed his eyes slightly, "They are all young people in their twenties, the best one has all the A's in the academy, he is even a fan of mine, and he also got an internship qualification from Starter Industries......"
It's not the first time Tony hasn't been able to save someone, but it's the first time he's felt so sad.
He was clearly present, knew the plan, knew everything, but still watched those outstanding young people being killed by the war.
"......" Shen He didn't know what to say.
Judging by the results, they did win big this time.
But there can be no perfect victory in the world.
"War is like that." Steve wasn't angry at the caricature either, "I've lost a lot of my comrades in the past wars, including my best friends, and they're all very good people, and even then, it's still a winning war for everyone who survives." ”
"......" Tony fell silent.
It's not that he doesn't understand, it's just that it's a little hard to accept, this kind of war is more cruel than going to the chaos zone to punish those terrorists.
“...... All right. Shen He straightened up, "We don't have much time to remember the sacrifice, Coulson was captured." ”
Coulson...... Who took it? Tony asked.
"An escaped Hydra agent named John Garrett." Shen He said, "We tried to find his location, but the direction kept changing, and there is no doubt that the other party was constantly picking random positions to shift, which is indeed a good way to deal with prophets, especially prophets who cannot be accurately located." ”
After Shen He stabilized the aircraft carrier, he immediately asked Joan of Arc to find the direction where Coulson was.
In fact, if it weren't for the severity of the battle at the carrier base, he should have done this first, but Joan of Arc changed several directions in a row in just ten minutes, and there was no such thing as a S.H.I.E.L.D. base or safe house in those directions.
"I'll tell Jarvis to keep an eye on it." Tony also frowned, "But it's not easy to find an elite agent. ”
"So we'll have to get help from other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents." Shen He sighed, "Director Fury is said to have been killed by the Winter Soldier, but that old fox is probably just pretending to be dead to avoid the enemy, or secretly planning something, and we had a plan to gather the S.H.I.E.L.D. elite from the beginning...... It's just that Coulson was going to do it. ”
According to the plan, both Fury and Coulson need funds if they want to rebuild S.H.I.E.L.D. in this situation.
And the virtual reality company has the funds, so that the Chaldea can easily have an experienced intelligence department.
But now, Fury and Coulson are gone.
"Can I ask something?" Steve suddenly chimed in.
"Absolutely." Shen He nodded and chuckled, "You don't have to take Tony's words to heart, he just has a stinky mouth, and now, if you have anything you want to know, you can ask directly." ”
Although I had prepared some materials for Steve, it was only some basic information.
"How do I have to really join you?" Contrary to Shen He's expectations, Steve's first question was this, "If I really join you, I think I should also know the plan in advance, at least know what I am doing these things for." ”
“…… I didn't tell you everything, just because I didn't want you to be a hero who performed......" Shen He was a little helpless, "Just let me do all the intrigues and tricks, heroes only need to do what heroes should do...... That's what I really think. ”
After all, this plan is indeed artificial, organized, and premeditated to create heroes.
"......" Steve didn't seem to expect this answer, he was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I did." ”
"What?"
"A stage actor, like Tony said." Steve paused, then continued, "Touring the country, putting on the Stars and Stripes, showing my muscles to people and telling them I'm a superhero, I've done this, and I know people need this, so you don't have to worry about me being a stubborn antique." ”
"That's interesting." Tony seemed surprised, "What do you perform?" Dance, I mean, we can share our experience on stage when we have time. ”
"Of course, I'm a good dancer."
"......" Shen He didn't expect that these two heroes, who were still a little competing at the last moment, seemed to have found a common topic at this moment.
"Ahem." He coughed dryly twice to interrupt the somewhat strange atmosphere, "In that case, I'll just say it directly, Steve, I hope you can use your prestige and charm to attract the remaining elite agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., after all, you have fought alongside them, and the announcement left by Fury, they will all trust you." ”
Trust is what these agents need most right now.
The government will arrest them, and their former colleagues do not know who the enemy is, so they can only hide carefully one by one, and no one can believe it.
