Chapter 103: Steve
"Hey, Clark, you're back?" The moment he received Clark's call, Coulson realized that Clark's affairs should be taken care of.
"Well, that's it, how are you doing there, have you found Loki and their clues?"
"Not yet, but we've convinced Banner that he's on his way over now. He's the top guy in gamma rays, and I think I'll be able to find out where the Cosmic Cube is soon after I have him. ”
Despite Coulson's words, Clark didn't think Banner would be able to find Loki's Cosmic Cube. After all, if Banner can find the Cosmic Cube in Loki's hand, it is estimated that the final battlefield will not be Tony's new building.
"By the way, Clark, I'm going to the Avengers' base with the captain right now, do you want to go with you?" Coulson on the other end of the line glanced at the captain he was walking towards him, hesitated for a moment and extended an invitation to Clark.
After all, if he didn't invite Clark, he could be alone with his idol for a while, but after thinking about it, Coulson felt that it would be good to get the two Avengers cores set by Director Fury in touch first.
Considering that the Avengers they gathered weren't trained agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and might not be used to teamwork, Nick Fury intended to establish a position like a leader in the team.
As for the candidates, Nick Fury is actually more inclined to Steve Rogers. Compared to the captain, he himself was born in the army, and his three views are still correct, unlike other people. However, considering that the actual combat power of the captain is not very strong among the Avengers he chose, it can only be said that it is at a medium level.
So maybe Natasha and Hawkeye and others will be better, but in the face of Banner and Tony, it will be a bit insufficient, so Nick Fury is planning to let Clark and the captain serve as the core.
Among them, Clark is the one who can suppress the entire team by force, and the captain is the moral benchmark of the entire team.
As for why Clark wasn't made the core of the whole team, it was because Fury knew very well that this Superman of theirs was a salted fish, a salted fish with no goals.
Nick Fury thinks it may be because Clarke's ability is so strong, so strong that he doesn't even need to drink if he wants to, and the world can be his. After all, Nick Fury had also seen the story of Injustice, and after reading it, he strengthened the protection of the people around Clark. He didn't want the kind of plot in Injustice, where Superman controlled the world with his own ideas.
But for his own idea, Nick Fury has never said anything. So even Coulson didn't know that in fact, compared to Loki, who took the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, the person their director was more afraid of was Clark.
In the face of Coulson's invitation, Clark looked at Diana, after all, he had to respect the lady's opinion. Diana just nodded in agreement, she was not a weak woman like a vase.
And although this is not her world, Diana, who has a righteous heart, is not as salty as Clark. Perhaps out of her own mission, Diana had always guarded the peace in her own way.
"I don't need you to come here, I'll go find you." Because he felt that it was troublesome for Coulson to pick him up back and forth, Clark directly opened a legendary door to Coulson's location after hanging up the phone.
Whoa!
Coulson, who had just hung up the phone, suddenly heard a noise next to him, and then Coulson, who turned around, showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Because he saw a blue portal appear out of thin air beside him, and then Clark and Diana walked over from the other side of the portal.
"Hey! Coulson, why do you look like this, it's like you've seen a ghost. Clark looked at Coulson with a blank look on his face, and couldn't help but reach out and shake it in front of him.
"Clark, you're here, no, I mean what is this?" Coulson pointed to the portal that was exactly the same as the one that opened during the Cosmic Cube Riot and asked Clark, "Did you get the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?" ”
Because in Coulson's impression, it seems that only the Cosmic Cube can open such a portal, so it is normal for him to have such a misunderstanding. And if Clark told him at this time that he had taken back the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Coulson estimated that he would be very happy.
"Unfortunately, no. I'm kind of magic, I just learned it. Clark didn't want to say too much about Kama Taj either, after all, it wasn't the time for them to be exposed.
"Okay." Hearing that it was Clark's new ability, Coulson didn't choose to ask more.
"Are you Coulson?" While Coulson was talking to Clark, the captain in the distance finally walked up to Coulson's side. Then Steve first said hello to Coulson, and then he looked at Clark curiously. After all, he also saw the portal that opened when Clark came over just now, how could he not be eye-catching when he appeared in such a stylish way.
"It's me, Captain, have you packed up? If it's good, we can go at any time. As soon as Coulson turned around, he saw Steve standing behind him, and Coulson, who was the captain's fan, was immediately excited.
"I'm alright, who are these two?" As he spoke, Steve looked at Clark and Diana.
"Clark Kent, you should have seen his news recently, after all, he has been on the front page of the news lately! This is Diana Prince, a friend of Clark's. ”
Coulson introduced Clark to Steve, and as for Diana, because he knew that she was not from his own universe, and the captain probably hadn't read her comics. So Coulson didn't know how to introduce her to Steve, so he just said that she was a friend of Clark's.
"Front page? You're Superman! "Steve thought about the front page of the news he had been reading recently, and then he thought of one person, and that was Superman." I've heard Fury say that you rescued me, thank you very much. By the way, I've seen a few movies about you lately. ”
Although Steve now thinks that it might be better if Nick Fury doesn't save himself, he can't say that to his savior.
"I guess I don't think I've ever acted in a movie." Clark knew that Steve was talking about those DC Superman movies, but that didn't stop him from joking with Steve.
“······”
"I'm kidding you." As it turns out, Steve, who has just woken up, doesn't seem to have that humorous cell. "By the way, how are you doing now? When I woke up, I suddenly found that decades had passed, which must have been very uncomfortable. ”
"Yes, I was still fighting before I went to bed, and when I woke up, the battle was over, and now I, an old antique who doesn't know anything, can only continue to do this kind of fighting and killing."
Speaking of himself, Steve could only laugh at himself.
"Captain, please don't say that. You are the first superhero in history, and you are a symbol of the spirit of the nation, and we need you. Seeing that Steve was so skeptical of the meaning of his existence, Coulson was a little overwhelmed.
"Steve, you're Coulson's idol. He also has a lot of collectible cards about you, the out-of-print ones. With that, Clark patted Coulson on the shoulder.
"I think it's time for us to go, it's not too early." Coulson was a little embarrassed by what Clark said, so he could only think of an excuse to change the subject.
"Let's go, I'd love to see your new base. Kindness?! Just as he was about to board the plane, Clark felt the energy of the Cosmic Cube in his body fluctuate.
He could feel that the reason why the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube fluctuated just now was because the Cosmic Cube itself had been activated.
