442, Magneto and Quicksilver (3/8)
Although Goofy has clearly decided on his next plan - to deal with Baron Straker, it is not so easy to do it.
First of all, Baron Straker is still nominally an appointed official of the International Security Council, and it is not easy to move people in his position, Goofy and S.H.I.E.L.D. do not have conclusive evidence that he is a Hydra, and even if they want to do something against him, they have to secretly act to win the stolen goods and get them;
Secondly, Baron Straker is cunning and has countless secret strongholds, and if you want to find out about him and his evil mutant experiments, you need to have the help of someone in the know.
Fortunately, Goofy happened to have someone in the know, and there were two more.
One is the young Magneto Eric Lanschel, who took the initiative to seek cooperation, and the other is the captured Quicksilver Pietro Maximov.
Goofy first brought two of his S.H.I.E.L.D. friends to meet with Eric Lanshell.
After the meeting, Goofy relays Eric's story to Nick Fury and Maria Hill, two veteran agents who praise Eric.
"Kid, you said you fooled Baron Straker and survived Hydra's brainwashing program, didn't you?"
Nick Fury asked, somewhat shocked.
For there is no doubt that Baron Straker is a cunning fellow, and it is very difficult to fool him.
And Hydra's brainwashing program is even more frenzied, and no matter how many strong men can't escape that devastating day and night torture.
But Eric overcame two hurdles in a row, which is nothing short of a miracle.
"Yes, I lied to Baron Straker, maybe you overestimated his abilities." Eric said calmly, "As for the brainwashing program of Hydra, it is indeed unbearable torture for humans, but the spirit of mutants will be stronger, Baron Straker ignored this. ”
After that, Eric added.
"By the way, I don't like people calling me a child, I hope you can pay attention."
Nick Fury was stunned.
“……”
But after the silence, he nodded politely.
"Okay, I'm rude."
He admires this sharp-edged child and therefore respects him accordingly.
Agent Hill next to him also gave Eric a wink, his eyes full of approval.
At this point, Steve brought Quicksilver, who was still fainting, into the room, and it looked like it would take him a while to wake up.
Seeing Quicksilver, Eric immediately recognized him.
"He's the older brother of the twins, and he's my child at the same time."
"Your child?" Hill said he couldn't understand Eric's brain circuit, "Erik, with all due respect, this twin brother looks like he's at least twenty years old, but you're only fifteen or sixteen...... You say he's your child? ”
Goofy explained with a smile: "That's right, Baron Straker took the mutant gene from Eric and transplanted it to the twins...... So from that point of view, Eric gave the twin siblings a second life. ”
"I see." Agent Hill snapped, "That's a novel explanation. ”
Nick Fury looked at Quicksilver and asked Goofy, "Goofy, what are you bringing these twin brothers for?" Do you want to get any news from him? ”
Goofy nodded: "Yes, Quicksilver was just sent by Baron Straker, he must know more." ”
"Then we'll have to figure out how to get this kid to cooperate with us." Fury seems to have a problem with Quicksilver, after all, this kid wanted to shoot him just now, "I think he's a hard guy." ”
Eric reveals a secret: "Quicksilver was brainwashed by Baron Straker, so he is actually not loyal to Baron Straker. ”
Listening to Eric's words, Goofy recalled Quicksilver from Avengers 2: Age of Ultron.
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were originally citizens of the Eastern European country of Sokovia, and their parents died under Stark Industries' missiles, so Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch volunteered to become Baron Straker's test subjects and became enemies of the Avengers.
But later, in the course of the battle, the siblings finally realize that the Avengers are the ones who protect the world, and that Hydra and later Ultron are the ones who destroy the world.
So the brother and sister prodigal son (female) turned back, changed their ways, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and joined the Avengers.
And the current parallel universe is obviously not exactly the same as the cinematic universe of "Avengers: Age of Ultron", because there are no mutants in the cinematic universe, so Goofy does not dare to conclude that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch here are also completely equivalent to twin siblings in the cinematic universe.
If you want to work with them, you have to know them first.
That's when Maria Hill asked, "So...... Now let's convince Quicksilver to cooperate with us and let him reveal Baron Straker's secrets? ”
Nick Fury pouted: "Is this necessary?" Didn't Eric know Baron Straker well? ”
Eric shook his head and said, "No, I've escaped from Baron Straker for too long, his secret stronghold will be transferred at any time, if you want to kill him by surprise, countering Quicksilver is the best way." ”
"But how do we solve the problem of him being brainwashed?" Nick Fury frowned, "Hydra's brainwashing is so easy to deal with. ”
Hill looked at Goofy: "If I'm not mistaken, Officer Goofy should be able to deal with this kind of trick, right?" ”
Goofy shrugged, his mentor template could indeed awaken the bewitched.
But his awakening was only effective for people who were temporarily mentally controlled, and he hadn't tried this kind of deep brainwashing for Hydra, and he wasn't sure he could do it 100%.
In addition, he doesn't know whether Quicksilver's essence is good or bad, and whether there is hatred between him and Goofy and S.H.I.E.L.D., people's hearts are the most unpredictable, even if Quicksilver's brainwashing is contacted, it is difficult for Goofy to determine whether Quicksilver will cooperate sincerely with them.
Unless Goofy can see through the exterior and see through Quicksilver's inner world.
As soon as he thought of this, two suitable candidates immediately came to his mind.
One is Carrie and the other is Professor X Charles Xavier.
Considering that Carrie was still in class and Charles was bored waiting for the Super Academy to start, Goofy immediately made a choice.
"I'll ask you to come over again, I think it will be very helpful for our current situation if this helper is there." Goofy said with a smile.
"Oh? Who are you going to invite over? ”
Although he knew that Goofy had countless abilities, Nick Fury still wanted to ask in advance.
Goofy smiled, "It's one of my students." ”
……
Half an hour later, a handsome young man with long flowing hair pushed the door open and walked in.
"Excuse me...... Is Principal Goofy here? ”
Unlike Eric's young and sharp, Charles is a little young at this time, and his gestures are full of bookishness.
"Charles, here."
Goofy beckoned to Charles and greeted him with a smile.
Then he introduced Eric: "Eric, his name is Charles, he is also a mutant, and he is your compatriot. ”
"I know." Eric replied lukewarmly, "I met him on the day of the interview, and he seemed to be with a ...... Pretty girls came together. ”
"Oh, that's my cousin, Raven." Charles heard Goofy's introduction and took the lead in coming over and shaking Erik's hand, "Hello, my name is Charles. Charles Xavier. ”
"Eric, Lanshel." Eric nodded, "We'll be classmates in the future." ”
"Yes, we will be classmates in the future, please take care of us." Charles said politely.
Agent Hill tilted his head to look at the two young talents, and couldn't help but whisper to Nick Fury, "It seems that Goofy has collected another batch of materials that can be made......"
"That's right." Fury nodded, "The future of this batch of new students in the Super Academy is limitless. ”
And just as he was saying this, Quicksilver suddenly took a deep breath and woke up leisurely.
Gao Fei clapped his hands and said, "Alright, guys, it's time for us to get to work." ”
