After a few minutes, the Kree fighter had regained his feet. He picked up his axe, his eyes clouded like a drunken man who had just stumbled out of a bar, heading deep into the dark forest.

Skye had recovered by this point. She stood up against the trunk of a tree, looked at the back of the vicious Cree man in the distance, and asked, "Just let him go back like this...... Is it really okay? ”

"I've tweaked his memory a little, he won't remember what happened to him on Earth." "He'll just think that his reconnaissance has yielded nothing, and then tell his superiors that the Inhuman experiment has failed." ”

Skye let out a long breath, her arms clasped and leaned limply against the trunk of the tree, "What did you just do to him...... Is it the same as what you did to me in the temple? ”

"Hypnotic spells, you say? Truly. You lost control and nearly demolished the entire city. Michael said, "I helped you calm down." ”

Skye was silent for a moment.

"Thank you." She said.

"Don't thank me. I went to that city just to get one thing, and I'm here because a deep space satellite has detected the blue guy just landed here. Michael paused and emphasized, "And I'm a terrorist, a bad guy, remember?" ”

"Aegis puts all unidentified people with extraordinary powers on the high-risk wanted list, and I know how their program works." Skye looked at him tentatively, as if trying to see his reaction through the swarthy armor, "But I don't think you're a bad person. ”

After a pause, she looked at her muddy hands and smiled bitterly: "Actually, if you want to follow the assessment procedure of Aegis, I don't think I'm far from being on that danger list." I'm mentally prepared to spend the rest of my life in this wood. ”

Michael thought for a moment.

"Maybe it doesn't have to be." He said, "Maybe Aegis isn't your only option. ”

Skye was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Meaning, your new abilities are incomprehensible to Aegis, so maybe Aegis is no longer the right place for you." "But if you want to stay out in the field and continue the kind of work that you did, I happen to have a vacancy here." ”

"You mean...... Just like S.H.I.E.L.D.? ”

"It's kind of like that, but it's a little more precise." He shrugged, "I'm putting together a special response team, a team of people with extraordinary talents like you, who specialize in dealing with incidents involving situations that regular agents may not be able to deal with. ”

Skye looked at him suspiciously.

"You don't mean it...... You also happen to have an Aegis-like agency behind you, responsible for maintaining the security of the world or something, right? ”

"Similar, but you don't know more until you agree to the job." "Of course, like the current Aegis, this institution theoretically does not exist. But most importantly, you will no longer feel isolated. No one on the team will feel like you're an outlier because everyone is the same. ”

Skye bit her lip, and seemed to really feel tempting by the offer.

After a long struggle, she half-jokingly said, "Then if I say no...... You're not just going to just raise your hand and blow my head off with one shot or something, are you? ”

"I'm not the type of person who likes to force people against their will, Agent Skye. I sincerely hope you join the team, but this is an invitation, not a mandatory. If you refuse, I will only express regret. ”

Skye took a deep breath.

"I ...... Well, thank you very much for the offer, really. "But I don't think I'm ready to leave Aegis." Being a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent really means a lot to me, Aegis is like home to me, I can't just ...... I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay." Michael waved his hand and activated the thrusters behind the armor, "Good luck then, Agent Skee." I hope you return soon. ”

He really didn't stop at all after saying that, pushing the flames to the ground, holding up his armor and rushing into the sky, quickly disappearing into the night.

Skye rested for a moment, then tried to pick himself up and turned back down the small dirt slope. She dragged her heavy and tired body back to the wooden safe house, and lay down on the living room couch as if she had been sucked out of a bone.

Tiredness struck again, and the experience of the rest of her life after the catastrophe made her sleepy even heavier than before. But she couldn't rest yet, she had to report to Coulson about the excitement of the night, and then she had to find a medical kit to treat the wounds on her body.

At this time, her right arm had gradually regained sensation, and although it was still painful, it seemed that it didn't hurt her muscles and bones. It took a lot of effort for her to force herself to get up from the couch and rummage through several large cabinets in the room for the medicine box.

There was an eerie knock on the door.

Skye paused, looking in the direction of the door with a ghostly expression.

No way? Again?

She had already regretted telling Coulson during the day that the place was too boring, and it turned out that the cabin had nothing to do with the word "boring" at all. She had a hunch, and as soon as she walked up and opened the door, she would find another blue-faced alien standing at the door, holding an axe in his hand and smiling at her, saying Don't be too complacent, you just sent the weakest of our four heavenly kings, why don't we compare and compare?

Compare you to a big-headed ghost! According to the rhythm of the TV series, one climax per episode should be about the same, and it would be too much to come again, right?

Calm down. At least this time the other party knocked politely on the door, so it certainly shouldn't be as rough as the Cree guy just now. If you change the words of that guy just now, it is more likely that he will come in without saying a word, and he will come in with an axe.

Skye struggled to keep her breathing steady and walked slowly towards the door. She gently opened a crack in the door, looked out, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

It was completely different from what she expected, there was a person standing outside, a brown jacket and gray straight-leg pants, dressed decently, but it was definitely not normal.

Because the man has no eyes.

Not blindness, but literal absence of eyes. His face was blank and nothing that should have been occupied by his eyes, as if he had come out of his mother's womb without eyes.

"Hello, Skye." The man spoke, his voice calm, "You're scared, but I want you to assure you that it's not necessary—especially not to be afraid of me. Because I'm an alien like you, I'm your companion. I'm here to take you where you belong...... I'm here to take you home. ”

***

Somewhere, in a dark laboratory.

The man was lying on the experimental bed, his top bare body, revealing his rock-like bulging muscles. He had both hands and one leg fastened to the bed board - the other leg wasn't tied because he didn't have it at all.

He only has one leg.

A foreign man in a white suit with blonde hair came up with a smile on his face and said to the man with a spring breeze on his face: "Take it easy, there's nothing to be nervous about." Years later, when you look back, you will find that volunteering with us was the most memorable decision of your life. ”

The white-clad researcher approached with a syringe, and the man in the suit stepped aside and gestured for them to begin.

The syringe plunged into the muscle of the man's right arm, and the lilac liquid was propelled down the needle into his bloodstream. After a few seconds, the man's face began to distort. At first he gritted his teeth and persisted, but the pain soon exceeded the limits of what he could bear. He began to groan and growl, and the light of the fire lit up under his skin, as if a pile of wood was burning under his skin. But his originally broken leg began to grow rapidly under the urging of some indescribable force, and in less than ten seconds, a hot new leg grew.

The man in the white suit smiled with satisfaction and delight.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he said aloud, "let us warmly welcome our new companions...... A new Desperate Warrior! ”
