23, Winter Soldier
In Ambrera's reception room, a glass of whiskey on the table with ice, an amber liquid mixed with ice, was gulped down by the blonde sitting on the sofa.
"Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. are both in the trap." Sean tapped his fingers on the table, and he looked at Raven, the Shapeshifter, "You should know what you're going to do, right?" β
This key member of the mutant brotherhood did not follow Magneto to Africa, but stayed by his side as a bargaining chip, and used it to get a place for the other party when necessary.
"How can you be sure that Hydra will do something to Nick Fury?" Raven asked, puzzled.
She watched the chase attack in Washington, D.C. today, this young man seems to have the magical ability of an unknown prophet, and the hydra hiding in the dark really can't hold back, ready to defeat S.H.I.E.L.D. in one fell swoop.
"Fury's Insight Project is going to start Project Insight, this is Hydra's chance, and if Alexander Pierce wants to gain this supreme power to monitor the world, there is no doubt that the current S.H.I.E.L.D. chief is the biggest obstacle."
Sean talked eloquently, he just pushed casually, using the White House and the military to put pressure on S.H.I.E.L.D. to share power, and Nick Fury naturally accelerated the pace in order to get out of the current predicament.
As everyone knows, Alexander Pierce has been coveting it for a long time, and he needs a chance to avoid the Avengers, and then hit it with one blow, and he must not leave any room for the other party to counterattack.
According to the original timeline, the black director escaped at the last minute and delivered important information to Captain America, so that Hydra fell short and was tragically overturned.
But Sean, who is a bystander, will certainly not let this happen, and without Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D., he will become no threat, and I believe that the White House and the military will be happy to include this special agency in the palm of their hands.
Then reorganize S.H.I.E.L.D., break up and mix the original members, purge from top to bottom, and completely disintegrate the internal structure...... Alexander Pearce's plan was perfect, giving him a solution.
"With your current strength, you're enough to crush everyone - the Avengers don't pose a threat to you, so why bother to crush them in this way."
Doubts appeared in Raven's eyes, but she knew that powerful as Eric had lost in Sean's hands, and this was not all the strength of the other party.
"That's too simple and crude, and it can't cause any pain to the opponent." The corners of Sean's mouth hooked up a faint smile, "Nick Fury is a person with a strong will, there is faith in his heart, relying on force alone will not make him succumb, but will give him the opportunity to stage a heroic sacrifice." β
"Isn't that what happens in clichΓ© movies? In the face of the threat and persecution of the villain, the hero is uncompromising and unyielding, and finally bravely faces death...... It's a fulfillment, and I don't want my opponent to feel that way. β
"And what are you going to do?"
Raven moved back slightly, and her heart fluttered as she looked at the warm smile on the young man's face.
"If you want to completely defeat a person, in addition to erasing the existence of the physical body, you must also destroy his will."
Sean said in a relaxed tone, "I hope Director Fury will like this gift." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Not so long ago.
"The chief is missing." Hill urgently contacted Captain America.
In the current S.H.I.E.L.D., only Steve can preside over the overall situation, judging from the information that Nick Fury revealed intentionally or unintentionally in the past, there are definitely unreliable ghosts within the organization, so she chose to conceal the news and temporarily notified Captain America alone.
"At 2:40 p.m., the chief finished the briefing, got out of the White House, got in the car, and drove to Pennsylvania Avenue when he suddenly lost his whereabouts, and it was at that time that Pennsylvania Avenue was blocked because of underground pipeline construction."
"Six minutes later, the black Cherokee in which the chief was riding rushed up to Seventeenth Avenue and lost the news."
Hill methodically utters messages for Captain America's reference.
"Did you leave any clues at the scene?" Steve asked with a frown.
"The black Cherokee was first hit with extremely intense firepower, the bulletproof shell was scarred, and then it seemed to be extremely impacted, the body rolled to the ground, the ground left friction marks, and the electronic equipment in the car was damaged, presumably using an electromagnetic pulse weapon."
"Only one photo was taken at the scene."
Hill's expression was solemn, she called up the photos taken by the satellite, the surveillance at that time had been erased, and judging from the response measures, the other party was quite cautious and professional.
The kidnappers who took Nick Fury resembled well-trained soldiers, who carried out combat missions purposefully and planned, and left no trace of tracking.
Hill thought calmly, the reason why she was able to become the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D. at such a young age was not only because of Nick Fury's trust and promotion, but also because of her own excellent ability.
A good commander must have a rational mind, a calm attitude, and an excellent sense of the big picture and strategic vision.
"Is that this the person?"
Steve looked at a somewhat blurry photograph of a tall man in a black uniform, with a face mask on his face and a metallic glow reflecting off his right hand.
This figure gave him a vague sense of familiarity......
"Yes. This man is known as the 'Winter Soldier', the ace killer of the former Soviet Union, who has carried out several assassination missions - including the assassination of Tony Stark. He is good at using firearms and has excellent combat ability. β
Hill didn't notice what Captain America was doing, and pulled up a file with the code name "The Winter Soldier", which detailed how many assassination missions the man had performed, and there was no record of failure except for the one against Tony Stark.
"There's a good chance the chief has fallen into his hands."
Captain America pondered for a moment and asked a crucial question: "Why did he capture Fury?" β
Although Nick Fury is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he is not of much value in his own right, and if he wants to pry the secret out of his mouth, it is better to kill this black man with one shot.
Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. loses a leader, it is enough to promote another one, and this special agency itself will not be affected too much, and this kind of action will obviously annoy the superheroes, no matter how you look at it, it is a thankless act.
"Uh......" Hill hesitated for a moment and said the answer, "Because of Project Insight!" β
"Project Insight?" As Steve read the unfamiliar words, it was clear that he hadn't yet touched the true heart of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Using three next-generation Helicarrier's targeting satellites for network synchronization, we launched the Lemuria Star into outer space, using DNA reading technology and a huge database to screen through this plan β this is the 'Insight Plan' proposed by the Commander to the World Security Council to prevent crime from happening in advance and suppress the possibility of threats." Hill said calmly.
"You think it's a form of protection?" Steve, who believes in the spirit of freedom, frowned. "It's a gun to the whole world!"
"The frequency of superpower crimes, and the tremendous pressure on S.H.I.E.L.D., makes it the only way to do this." Hill said helplessly. "The chief said that if you want to stifle the danger, you have to stay one step ahead of those people - captain, now is not the time to discuss this, we must rescue the chief."
"Gather the Avengers, and I'll track down this killer."
Steve sighed silently, deep down he didn't like Nick Fury's way of doing things, he was too focused on efficiency and purpose, and if it wasn't for Peggy to set up this special agency, he wouldn't have stayed in this place.
For a seventy-year-old man, even though he is still young on the outside, but he is growing old mentally, the country does not need him, his relatives and friends have left this world, and Steve is very confused and cannot see the way forward.
"The Winter Soldier."
He looked at the picture again, and the faint sense of familiarity in his heart intensified.
