Dinner ended with everyone complaining about Spider-Man's laughter.

"Thank you for your hospitality, this steamed sea bass is very tasty. Mrs. Stacey. ”

"You're welcome, if you like it, come and visit anytime you have time."

"Okay, goodbye! Mr. George, Mrs. Stacy, and Gwen's younger brothers. ”

Rick smiled and waved goodbye to the Gwen family.

After walking out of the community, Rick was right. I saw two shadows standing on the side of the street.

"Hope it didn't bother you for dinner time. Mr. Rick. ”

"Agent Coulson, it's so late, what's the matter? And who is the one next to you? ”

"This is Agent Barton, and my colleague."

Clinton Barton, tall, in a tight black leather coat, is most remarkable for his strong muscles, as well as a folding bow and a quiver with clusters of arrows on his back.

"Hello, Rick Joe, I'm Clinton Francis Patton, and you can call me Agent Patton."

"Hello, I wonder what happened to the two of you coming to me late at night?" Rick and Barton shook hands, slightly forced, and felt a calm and powerful hand strength coming from the opposite side, which was worthy of being equivalent to the highest combat power "Hawkeye" among ordinary people in S.H.I.E.L.D.

"That's right, the Director informed me to take you to the base in the Mojave Desert. And Agent Patton is also going there on a mission. ”

Rick remembered what Nick Fury said that he would be notified when he was going to study the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, was that now?

There is also the Mojave Desert, Rick has been in the Marvel world for so long, of course, he knows that this desert is in the southeast of California, spanning the three major states of Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. And more importantly, one is in New York on the East Coast, and the other is in California on the West Coast. It's about to span the entire Americas.

Rick thought for a moment, "Okay, when are we going?" ”

"Go now, time waits for no one!" Coulson replied, "Get in the car, let's go." ”

Rick got into the car, thought for a moment, maybe he wouldn't be able to come back normally tomorrow, took out his phone and sent a text message to Gwen and Elanna respectively. As for Uncle Harvey, it doesn't have to be, now Harvey lives in the Osborne Mansion every day, busy studying Peter's blood and the kind of magical substance that Storm provides.

The car slowly drove out of Queens and onto a suburb on Long Island.

On an empty concrete floor is parked a dark fighter with a strong science fiction flavor - the Kun fighter, which can now be said to be the Kun transport aircraft.

"We're going through it, and it's one of the most advanced planes we've ever had." Coulson patted the metal surface of the plane and said with a little pride.

The entire plane is iron-black, with a faint glow in the night. With the wings folded down from the middle and a turbine engine on each side of the wing, it was clear that the aircraft could take off and land vertically from the engines on the wings.

There are no weapons mounted under the wings, only a machine gun can be seen hanging from the lower part of the aircraft.

With the three of them on the plane.

The wings of the transport plane slowly unfolded, the engines on both sides of the wings began to start, and the strong air currents blew away the dust on the ground. After a while, the plane rose into the air, and at this time, the jet engine in the tail began to start, two blue lights flashed, and the plane disappeared into the sky.

In just two hours, the fighter plane passed through the entire American continent and stopped above a desert structure.

The engines in the tail of the aircraft are turned off, and the turbine engines of the aircraft slowly descend from the air.

"This is the card that the director asked me to give you." Patton was working on the fighter plane in the cab, and Coulson and Rick were in the seats inside the plane.

Rick took the card, and the photo on the card was entirely himself, but the information below had changed.

RicksanchezJoe, Rick Joe. A young, genius, mad scientist with a keen eye for time and space.

Franchise to participate in the reactivation of the Pegasus Project, S.H.I.E.L.D.

After getting off the plane, Rick looked at the buildings in front of him and had a wonderful feeling that he would change a lot after he came into contact with the Space Gem.

"Let's go, this is the result of the cooperation between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Space Agency, which is extremely secretive and has just been formed. Some time ago, with the consent of the director, the space bureau and the space bureau jointly injected funds to restart the research of the cosmic Rubik's Cube, and this time it is also for you to arrange a scientific research department to contact it. ”

"I'm currently the commander here, and Agent Patton is in charge of the security forces. On the surface, it is a base for the study of aerospace equipment, but in fact, it wants to continue to study the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. And after your reminder, only the director and the three of us know about S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

After a brief introduction, Coulson paused, and said in a meaningful tone: "I hope that studying the Cosmic Rubik's Cube can be helpful to you." ”

At night, the desert base is still bright, and all kinds of lights illuminate the entire base.

Rick followed behind Coulson and Barton, swiped his card, and rode the elevator all the way down into the metal complex underground.

"There's living rooms for the various researchers, and some for the security personnel." Coulson walks along as he introduces Rick.

"There's also a separate lounge for you, which is fully equipped, and Agent Barton's room is next door to you, so you can always come to him if you have any questions. This study may take a while, and you'd better be informed now and outside. Tomorrow, it will be completely cut off from the outside world. Coulson explained as he walked, completely ignoring that Rick was still a high school student and should be in class tomorrow.

Clinton Barton nodded at Rick as well.

The three of them walked on and on, until they came to a metal wall, and Coulson, noticing that there were no other guards in the room, pressed a hidden button on the wall.

After "Zheng Zheng Zheng", the metal walls fell, enveloping the three of them, and Coulson then pressed his fingerprint on the screen of the falling wall and looked at the iris. The metal door opened silently.

"Those security personnel were recruited by NASA alone, and they wouldn't know what we were studying. This is where we really base our research. ”

The door opens, revealing a sci-fi scene in front of Rick's eyes, with all sorts of research instruments and computer servers scattered throughout the room. In the center, a silver-white metal box sits on a table.

"That's the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, I brought it alone on the order of the Director, Rick, do you want to see it now?"

Rick didn't answer Coulson's question, instead walking towards the box without saying a word.

Barton tightened as if he was about to act, but Coulson, who was on the side, tapped him on the shoulder, regaining his composure.

Rick walked as he called out to Jory in his head, and after a long time of no response, Rick walked over to the table and reached out to open the box.

As one side of the box opened, a cube glowing blue lay quietly in the middle of the box.

Seeing the Cosmic Cube in front of him, Rick's heart throbbed, and he couldn't help but reach out and grab the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

"Hey, be careful, you can't directly touch it with ** alone!"

Coulson saw Rick's actions and hurriedly ran forward anxiously, shouting as he could.

As for Barton on the side, the agent also opened the bowstring, put an arrow on the string, and aimed at Rick's right hand holding the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw that Rick's right hand had firmly grasped the Cosmic Rubik's Cube and picked it up from the box.

Just when Coulson was a little surprised, suddenly the cosmic cube in Rick's hand emitted a burst of intense light, shaking the eyes of the three people in the room into a faint blue.

Immediately after, only heard

"Click".

The Cosmic Cube is broken!
