Chapter 375: First Mission

It's only been a few minutes since he left the Carrier Float, and Agent Phil Coulson can't help but sigh at the sky. From the first time he heard the decision that "the new director is Tony Stark", he felt that it was not very reliable, and now standing in front of the new director who he was no stranger to, this sense of foreboding only deepened.

Maybe that's really a bad idea. Now Coulson is already thinking about whether he can talk to the boss about returning the goods......

But there is no way, rules are rules, Coulson has been a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent for most of his life, and strictly abiding by the hierarchy of Aegis has long been an instinct imprinted in his bones. No matter how unhappy he was, Stark was his commander now.

Coulson led the Avengers aboard the mothership. The gangway was retracted as soon as they boarded the ship, the hatches were closed, and the turbine engines spewed a hurricane downward. The strong wind almost crushed the thick tree trunks around them, and the giant whale of steel rose in a heavy roar. The optical camouflage device was activated, and the entire surface of the ship seemed to be covered with a layer of rippling waves. In just a few seconds, the obscured ship completely blended into the environment and disappeared into the blue sky.

The crowd walked deeper into the mothership under the leadership of Coulson. Employees and spies along the way would stop and greet them in a standard salute when they encountered them.

Coulson squinted at the sunglasses on the bridge of Tony's nose: "...... Director, maybe you should consider taking that one off? ”

Does it really make sense to wear sunglasses in a mothership?

Tony pushed down the frame: "Huh? Aren't you all like that? The last time I saw you, you were still wearing a pair of sunglasses in the middle of the night? ”

“...... I was here to hide my identity, not because it looked good. Coulson tried to be calm.

"Oh, I thought the agents liked the outfit, the suit with sunglasses, and the standard agent hairstyle. By the way, when it comes to hairstyles," Tony turned sideways and gestured to Coulson's head, "Wow, bro, your hairline is really high." Fury's old fox threw you such a mess, it must have been a hard time for the past few years, right? ”

Why else would so much hair fall out? That sounds like what he meant by it.

"But don't worry, I'm here to save you." Tony patted him on the shoulder and said in a tone of "rest assured that everything is left to me", "With me in the future, you don't have to worry about anything, you have been completely freed from the position of director." ”

No, no, it's because you're here that I feel completely unreliable.

And having said all this, Tony didn't mean to take off his sunglasses.

Through several aisles, they came to the command center of the mothership. The two-hundred-square-meter space is filled with top-of-the-line dedicated computers, and the communications agents perform their duties in front of their own screens, with transparent blue screens floating on the ceiling and holographic projections of the earth suspended at the bottom of the observation deck.

Coulson still couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. After the nominal disbandment of Aegis, the resources at his disposal had been limited to a minimum, and it was laborious to even build a Kun fighter. I think that when the Aegis was in the hands of Nick Fury, it was a wealthy man, and there were several motherships stored in the Triflex Wing Building that could be replaced every week, and the remaining ones were all parked under for maintenance. And when the Aegis is in his hands, it feels like having to count the change tightly after the family goes bankrupt, and it hurts for a long time to shoot a bullet.

This one-of-a-kind floating carrier is the result of his painstaking efforts to avoid the eyes and ears of others, and it takes a lot of resources and effort to finally get it, and it can be said that it is the most expensive weapon of S.H.I.E.L.D. in existence.

The new director, Tony Stark, stood in the command center and swept around, smacking his lips: "You guys are not very good, after so many years, this set of equipment is exactly the same as Nick Fury's era, and there is no technological breakthrough at all...... Hmmm, no, it seems to be worse than I remembered, it seems to have regressed? ”

Coulson: "@#¥%&! ......”

Coulson suddenly remembered that he seemed to have offended Brigadier General Tarbert in the past (and had kidnapped him back to the Aegis base once or twice), and that the return of Aegis had been planned by Brigadier General Tarbert. So that old guy shouldn't say that he disregarded his previous suspicions and declared his personal vendetta behind his back, and deliberately made such an angry director to take revenge on himself, right?

"Sure enough, it's the same as always, boss."

Tony followed the sound and saw a tall, beautiful agent standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, smiling at them. She has black hair and a tight-fitting combat uniform with the Aegis insignia on her body, and the uniform outlines her hot body to the fullest.

Former Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Mary Hill.

"Hi, Ciel." Natasha looked delighted, as if she had seen an old friend who had been absent for a long time.

"Natasha." Hill walked down the stairs and greeted Hawkeye to the side, "Clint." ”

She smiled and hugged the two veteran S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and asked, "How is it?" Now that Aegis is back, are you interested in coming back and continuing your old job? ”

Natasha smiled and shook her head, "No, I'm in good shape right now." ”

Clint crossed his arms and shrugged his shoulders and pointed at Stark, "Working for this guy?" Never mind. I might as well choose to retire and go home to retire. ”

"Hey, I'm one of the friendliest bosses in New York." Tony wasn't happy, "Don't believe it, go to the lobby at the bottom of Stark Tower and ask any passing employee and they'll tell you how approachable their boss is." ”

After a pause, he turned to Ciel and looked her up and down, "Well, you really look better when you wear this." ”

Hill smiled, "Thanks, boss." ”

"But you move from one place to another, and it turns out that the boss is still the same person." Tony said seriously, "Looks like you're destined to be unable to escape me." ”

What he said was the truth. After the disbandment of Aegis, a large number of agents from various departments went their separate ways, and Deputy Director Maria Hill has worked for Stark Group for the past few years. And now she jumped out of Stark Group and returned to Aegis, and the boss is still Tony Stark.

Hill continued to smile, "I'll relay all your words to Miss Potts, Director. ”

“...... Well, I was wrong. Tony immediately changed his tune.

"The greetings can be put aside for a while," Rogers interrupted the conversation and asked, "Let's be here this time, is there a mission for the Avengers?" ”

Tony and Coulson looked at each other, and then Coulson explained, "Hmm...... Yes, to be precise, there's a mission that needs your help, Captain. ”

"Me?"

"Yes. In two days' time, a distinguished guest will be visiting our country," Tony paused, looked at Rogers, and said, "There is confirmed information that the other party is being hunted by some dangerous person. And according to the request of our guest...... He specifically named him and said he wanted you to protect him, Captain. ”
