Tony Stark had never thought that being the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. was far from being as simple as he thought.

Tony had thought that since he could create the most advanced armor in the world...... One (his confidence has been a little frustrated recently), if he can manage an international behemoth like the Stark Group, and can lead the most powerful team in the world like the Avengers, then it should not be difficult to become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But now he knows how wrong he was. It wasn't until he sat in this position that he began to slowly understand how much of the world's mess needed to be dealt with every day, and how many potential threats needed him to intervene. There is also the Superhero Registration Act...... This incident really made him anxious, and he even doubted his life for a while. The civil war has finally come to an end, and now Aegis is facing the problem of internal moles......

With the exception of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s former deputy commissioner, Maria Hill, he didn't tell anyone about the existence of a mole within S.H.I.E.L.D. The first is to avoid startling the snake, and the second is because the current Aegis may not be ready to face such news - it will shatter many people's faith in the rebuilding of Aegis.

Tony admits that he hasn't played much with the spy stuff, and he's not the material to be a spy. Tony often can't help but wonder, when Nick Fury was in charge, there was a bunch of every day? If so, then Nick Fury really impresses him. In the past, he had always thought that Fury's boiled egg sat in the director's office all day long, strategizing and living a very chic life, but now he realized that Fury was really a rare talent.

And it was at this point that Nick Fury, who had disappeared many years ago, suddenly reappeared and appeared in Tony's director's office without warning.

Tony stood in the doorway, looking at Nick Fury, who was sitting upright in his place behind the desk, and couldn't help but frown.

"You know," he said, "there's my place now." ”

Fury crossed his fingers, held his chin, and was expressionless: "Congratulations." How does it feel to sit in this position? Does it satisfy you? Gives you the thrill of holding power in your hands? ”

Tony didn't say anything.

Obviously, both of them know the answer. Tony wasn't a power-chaser in the first place, and the only reason he sat in this position was because he believed he needed to. Because someone has to do it—like the Superhero Registration Act, someone has to step up and be the devil in this battle of heroes.

How much Tony gave up for this identity only he knows. But to talk about the satisfaction and the thrill of holding power? He hadn't experienced anything like that for a second.

"That's what you're here for?" Tony walked into the office, and the automatic door locked behind him, "in case you've been away from Aegis for too long and forgotten the rules...... I have to warn you, Fury, that you no longer have access to the Director's office. No, you can't even board this mothership before that...... Anyway, where the hell did you come from? I've upgraded the security protocols, so you shouldn't be able to ......"

"I'm always ready for everything, Stark, you should know about me."

"Okay." Tony shrugged and accepted, "So what's going now?" Just a word of caution, if I give the order now, a team of agents will come and grab you in twenty seconds. So if there's a reason why I'm not going to do it, I'm pretty much out of that now. ”

Fury leaned forward, one-eyed staring straight into his eyes.

"Aegis has been infiltrated, Stark." He said.

Tony's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice, "Tell me something I don't know." ”

"You must think you're doing a good job." Fury said, "You think you were aware of this brewing conspiracy just in time?" No, no, you're too late, Stark. If you think of this game as a game of chess, you will be kept in the dark until you are the general. ”

Tony frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Meaning, it's a lot worse than you think." Fury said, "Do you think this is still a little fight like the Hydra before?" A group of agents of a terrorist organization left over from history inhabit the interior of Aegis, ready to make a comeback at any time? No, no, no, that's nothing compared to what you're facing. ”

After a pause, he solemnly stretched out his hand, pointed at Stark, and said, "Listen, Stark." What you are facing now is not just a matter of Aegis itself, but of the security of the world. Now you are faced with the question of the survival of the human race. ”

Tony tried not to be so surprised, but he had to admit it was difficult. He had always had a lot of opinions about Nick Fury, but he knew full well that Fury wouldn't be the one to joke about it. Even if things weren't really bad enough to get this out, Fury wouldn't have personally come to the mothership and pointed at his nose to warn him.

"Then let me know," said Tony, "tell me what we're up against." ”

"Even if I say it, you won't believe it." Fury leaned back in his chair, "Seeing is believing, so I've copied all the information I have on my computer to your computer." After I'm gone, you can take your time and decide whether to believe it or not. ”

Hell, how do you feel like this looks a little familiar?

Fury couldn't help but mutter. He remembered that when Hydra infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D., a guy also appeared in the director's office for some reason and said such a series of similar things to him. The guy also left intelligence information for him to see, and Fury always felt like he was following someone else's old path.

Of course, Nick Fury was aware of the Skrulls, and even though he was no longer the Chief of S.H.I.E.L.D., he still had his own eyeliner and intelligence network. He knew that things were getting worse than they could be. But considering that the Black Knight was still there, he instinctively felt that maybe things weren't that bad.

If it was the black knight, he must have noticed it. Now I hope he has some countermeasures......

"Well, that's all there is to say. As for how to do it, it's entirely up to you. Fury leaned back in his chair and muttered, "Hell, I didn't even realize it before, it's so comfortable to sit in......"

Tony: "......"

A request to enter the room sounded outside the door, and Jarvis's voice sounded softly, "Sir, Deputy Chief Hill has something to discuss." ”

Tony subconsciously turned his head towards the door: "Let her wait a moment and say I'm busy." ”

Nick Fury's mysterious presence in Tony's presence means that he must have a reason not to see anyone else. Tony knows he's the kind of person who always thinks about the overall interests of all mankind, and if Fury thinks he has a good reason not to show up, then Tony is willing to do him a small favor.

But he soon discovers that the great Nick Fury doesn't need his help at all. When Tony turned around again, the seat in front of him was empty, and the swarthy boiled egg that had been sitting there was long gone......
