Chapter 8: S.H.I.E.L.D
"Wait a minuteβ"
Ivan made a pause gesture to Iron Man swooping down from the sky, looking casual and unaware of being on the battlefield at all.
"What's the matter, kid, you're going to surrender?"
"It's a good idea, but I'm going to think about it. β
Tony didn't attack, and fell straight back to the roof of Stark Tower, standing opposite Ivan.
Evan ignored the other party's provocation and said seriously: "With such a handsome appearance, I have to say something very cool!"
"Uh......"
Tony was stunned for a moment, then shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was casual.
"Listen, I'm going to get started-"
Evan is obviously a very "friendly" person, and pays great attention to the interaction with his opponents, even with the impolite expression of "why should I be stupid enough to meet this guy" with the impolite expression of "why should I be stupid enough to meet this guy", he still decides to "share" this very cool sentence with him, and for this reason, he also specially reminded him before saying it.
"Here's what you say," Evan said, pointing to Tony, who wore the steel suit in the style of "no love", and said very quickly, "You're dressed like you're ready to let a big truck on the street give you a shot from behind, guess what color baby you're going to give birth? No, you can't give birth to a baby, because it's a shot from behind!"
"Hahahaha-"
Ivan laughed happily for a moment, but quickly stopped smiling because Tony didn't react as he should.
It's normal, so a long list of words like RAP spit out in a very short period of time, and Tony, who didn't pay attention to it, didn't necessarily hear it clearly, let alone respond.
"Too long?"
Evan asked himself, then stopped talking, touching his smooth chin and thinking about which words could be deleted and summarized.
Tony, on the other side, didn't know that the boy's "really cool words" had finished until he heard Evan ask himself.
I'm going to raise my hands and applaud, taunt a few words, and then continue my own "love education" about that little bastard.
Soon, though, Jarvis's slow-replaying audio file made his half-raised hands freeze there, and for the first time in his life, he felt embarrassed and overwhelmed......
"Pss
On the top floor of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Trident Building, in Nick Fury's office, a large screen is showing what is happening on the roof of Stark Tower.
Seeing Tony's helpless appearance with his hands frozen in mid-air, Melinda May, who couldn't help it, laughed out loud.
Not only her, but also Phil Coulson and Maria Hill, who were also in the room, smiled, after all, Tony Stark's embarrassment was not common.
It's just that, because of Nick Fury, who is sitting behind the desk, they are not as unscrupulous as Melinda May.
Yes, unscrupulous.
Melinda May, who was inexplicably poked at the point of laughter, not only laughed very loudly, but also slapped her thighs from time to time, and her back grinded in the soft sofa, making a "rustling" sound.
Phil Coulson, who couldn't stand it, pulled the corner of her clothes, and motioned in the direction of Nick Fury without a trace, Melinda, who was relieved, looked up, and sure enough, her boss looked at her expressionlessly.
"Melinda, what do you think of Ivan?"
Nick Fury didn't mean to pursue Melinda's rudeness, the reason why he was able to have such a high prestige in S.H.I.E.L.D. was based on the accumulation of practical cases that were higher than the mountain, rather than the so-called majesty of the boss.
"It's an interesting kid, it's not bad by nature, it's just a bit playful. β
Nick Fury almost thought he was talking about a mischievous guy who broke the glass of his neighbor's house, but Evan Glazer was clearly not that harmless, as evidenced by the fact that the fire had spread under control.
Melinda May didn't see that, on the contrary, since Evan appeared, Tony asked Jarvis to open the information transmission blockade, and S.H.I.E.L.D., which found the anomaly and reacted in time, immediately carried out all-round control of the scene, whether it was Tony or Evan, their every move behind them was under the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, Melinda still chose to ignore the burning mansion and the various weapons on Ivan's body, as well as the laser rocket that almost turned the sky red from the explosion just now.
She tried her best to obscure Evan's danger, for fear that S.H.I.E.L.D. would attack the child.
She had to kill the mutant girl who was behind the events in Bahrain, and even though she knew that her actions were necessary in the situation, she woke up from nightmares with guilt many times after nightfall.
Although she doesn't know why Nick Fury, who has agreed that she will no longer be in the field, still calls herself to watch the live action, she can't accept that another child has an accident in front of her because of the damn "justice" and "necessity".
"He's not as harmless as you say, Melinda, don't let your emotions get in the way of your sanity, you ......"
"Fuck sanity!" Guilt and anger drove Melinda to growl, "That's a kid, he didn't hurt anyone, and the action team that arrived at the scene has confirmed that the unconscious building security guard was corona!"
"The Coribo Building was also a natural fire caused by the aging of the line?"
Nick Fury argued with Melinda very patiently, and his calm tone made it difficult to hear the joy or anger.
"That's the cannonball he used to shoot Iron Man, and the playboy who thought he was a superhero dodged like a coward, so the Creeb Mansion suffered!"
"It's not for an agent to say it, Melinda, and strong words don't hide the essence of the matter. β
"No matter how much you try to defend yourself, you still can't change the fact that four people died and twenty-seven people were seriously injured, so these people deserve to die too, right?"
"When did S.H.I.E.L.D. become idle and even meddle in this little case?"
Melinda May's words, although extreme, are indeed true, if this matter is really to be determined, it should be handed over to the New York police to deal with, even if S.H.I.E.L.D. sends a task force, it should focus on attacking and assisting, rather than taking the lead.
There are many violent agencies in the United States that have the ability to enforce, and the most powerful is S.H.I.E.L.D., but even a behemoth like S.H.I.E.L.D. has to follow some potential regulations.
Melinda didn't have the idea that "Evan can't be held accountable", she just wanted to put this power in the hands of the court as is customary, and prevent S.H.I.E.L.D. from interfering in it.
Otherwise, she couldn't imagine how miserable it would be for a boy to live in a sky prison, on forced water and tranquilizers.
Traditionally, criminals who commit non-supernatural crimes are usually dealt with by the courts, and S.H.I.E.L.D. does not intervene, but Melinda knows that Nick will not hand over Evan to the police.
The weapons in the boy's hand were very high-tech, especially the team that went to his house to search for a large amount of hand-drawn paper and scratch paper full of calculations, although the S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists had not yet gotten much useful information from the paper where the calculations and graffiti coexisted, but it was already certain that the weapons in the boy's hands were developed by himself.
A genius scientist like Tony Stark, who would let go?
S.H.I.E.L.D. definitely won't, and in Melinda's mind, Nick was ready to imprison and control that child for the rest of his life, and the reason was easy to find......
"He is very harmful to society. β
That's it!
"Fuck the danger, that's just a kid, he's not going to turn into a big green guy and tear down houses, he doesn't think he's a new human and stir things up, he's not even as dangerous as a terrorist who might come to the White House and blow himself up at any moment!"
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, it's a crime, it's murder, you're murdering a child!"
"Although he has done something wrong, it just needs us adults to guide correctly, instead of calculating and killing with dirty means hidden under great slogans, do you understand, you blind boiled egg!"
Silent......
After scolding Nick, Melinda was still angry, and Nick was still expressionless, as if he hadn't heard the other party's abuse.
Phil Coulson bowed his head and pretended to be a dog, so as not to be killed by the old thing, and Mariah Hill looked at the two who looked at each other in silence, trying to persuade them, but did not know how to speak.
"You're right. β
Moments later, Nick Fury was the first to break the silence in the room.
And Melinda, who heard what he said, couldn't care about getting angry, and only one thought was left in her mind: It's over, my boss was scolded stupid by me.
"I'm sorry, Nick, I didn't mean to mention your flaws, I mean, your head doesn't really look like a boiled egg, it's a little bit chic, but it's actually ......"
"I'm saying that you're right about Ivan and has nothing to do with anything else!"
Nick Fury almost gritted his teeth and finished this sentence, listening to the relief of the other party's concerned tone, I don't know why, Nick, who has always been very confident in his city, has the urge to pull out a gun and kill.
"Huh?"
Melinda, who was still immersed in self-blame, apparently didn't hear what Nick said.
"What do you mean...... Reasonable. β
Nick Fury wanted to say "yes", but changed it to "makes sense" after a little vagueness, which caused Maria Hill to chuckle on the side.
Nick Fury, who glared at the two people watching the excitement next to him, ignored the resentful gaze of Phil Coulson, who had suffered from the unjustified disaster, and was afraid that Melinda would say something "words of relief" that would increase his blood pressure, hurriedly explained: "As you said, although Evan has done something wrong, he is just a child after all. β
"I lost my parents when I was young, grew up in an orphanage, and because I was addicted to science magazines and books, I had few friends of the same age. β
Perhaps in order to attract everyone's attention, this has developed his prank-loving behavior and bad character. β
Patting the information that S.H.I.E.L.D. has just collected and Ivan's behavior in the past few months, almost all of them are descriptions of his pranks and strange remarks spread on the Internet, which makes Nick Fury more convinced of his own inference.
When it comes to pranks, Nick Fury glanced at Melinda May without a trace, this master is not a good person, and the pranks in the early years have made many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents miserable.
After the internal review, the agents who surrounded the forced water and asked about the privacy of the drug did not subside, which was one of the "contributions" of Melinda May, who had just joined S.H.I.E.L.D. not long ago, so that the privacy of many agents' husbands and wives once became a side dish for S.H.I.E.L.D. staff.
"Like you said, what little Ivan needs most now is the right guidance from adults. β
"So, Melinda, would you like to be his guardian?"

Many friends have been asking for more, but the old knife with a crippled hand said that it really can't be coded.
However, since everyone said it, I'll see if I can give you one more chapter this weekend.
Thank you again for your support, let Lao Dao know that there are still people willing to read his book, thank you.
