Chapter 347: Coulson wants to prove himself
Earth, S.H.I.E.L.D. flying aircraft carrier.
Nick Fury has almost made the flying aircraft carrier his home lately, and he won't disembark for no important reason. Just because the new system at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters was still being installed, he always felt uncomfortable in the office.
The man behind the invasion of S.H.I.E.L.D. has not yet been found, and this is an eternal thorn in Nick Fury's heart.
However, the situation seems to be improving, and the Hydra in Egypt has involved many forces hidden in the shadows. S.H.I.E.L.D. killed it this time, but it narrowed the dark side of the whole world a lot.
The world order seems to be starting to get on track, but it doesn't take long for Nick Fury to be happy before the Frost Giant is back in the works.
On the Hell's Kitchen side, the news from Tony made Nick Fury's brow furrowed a little again.
Rorschach did mention that the Frost Giants would invade again, but Tony had clearly said that according to the current energy changes, it would take at least a year for the Frost Giants to open the large spatial doors of the previous one.
"The space is unstable, and large-scale teleportation is impossible, but if it's just a few frost giants, it's okay."
This is Tony's explanation of Nick Fury, but it doesn't make any sense to Nick Fury.
What Nick Fury needs is a stable and prosperous world, not a few monsters that are several meters tall to come out at any time to destroy a thriving city. Superheroes can not care, but how can ordinary people live.
If there is a large-scale panic among the civilian population, the city will be doomed.
"Is there no way to stop it? Close the space door like last time? Nick Fury asked unrelentingly.
"Unless the portal is fully open, it's useless for us to do anything. Even if this spatial rift is found and closed, the Frost Giant can open another one at any time. Fury, according to the prince with the hammer, the nine planes are inherently one, and we cannot sever the connection. And according to my calculations, this connection will become closer and closer, and it is very likely that the nine planes will eventually be connected into a line, or merge into one. Tony said helplessly.
After hanging up the newsletter, Nick Fury finally understood the seriousness of the problem.
But after all, he is one of the best directors of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Nick Fury is a very decisive person.
"It seems that the time has come to use a different approach." Nick Fury said to himself in a heavy tone.
Coulson was quickly called out to Nick Fury's office, and even the well-informed Level 7 agent couldn't help but be shocked after seeing the documents Nick Fury handed him in front of him.
"Director, you want to recruit mutants and Inhumans?" Coulson asked incredulously.
"Yes, the situation is not optimistic. I can't watch New York be destroyed by the Frost Giants. I want you to set up a special operations team to deal with the invasion of the Frost Giants and even other alien civilizations. You can recruit the elites you need in S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as mutants and Inhumans that you feel you can trust. Nick Fury said.
"Understood, I will find the right member as soon as possible. However, even with the help of mutants and Inhumans, I can't guarantee that I will be able to deal with the Frost Giants. Coulson said a little unconfidently.
Coulson had seen the power of the Frost Giants, and knew that such an enemy could not be inferred by common sense.
Although mutants and Inhumans have extraordinary abilities, not all of them have super combat power. The other ordinary people were completely ants in front of the frost giants, with little ability to resist.
"I know that I will prepare special equipment for you to deal with this kind of alien. So concentrate on recruiting members, and I suggest you get in touch with the transcendents through Tinder. Rorschach has a good relationship with mutants and Inhumans, and should be able to recommend suitable candidates for us. ”
Hearing Rorschach's name, Coulson hesitated.
During his career as a secret agent, Coulson faced many vicious gangsters, but none of them put as much pressure on him as Rorschach. In the face of this young man who was always smiling, Coulson had an elusive and strange feeling, which made him feel that it was difficult for him to communicate with the other party normally.
"Coulson, I know how you feel. Rorschach is not a good person to deal with, but we have no choice now. Nick Fury said earnestly.
Coulson nodded in understanding.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had a very tense relationship with Inhumans and mutants before, and now it is almost impossible to recruit mutants without going through Rorschach's Tinder Source Company. This is not spending money on mercenaries, but an official official cooperation, expressing the attitude of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Coulson knew that this time he was asking for help.
"Hey, why should I say again?"
With a sigh, Coulson immediately went to Nick Fury's office.
The stakes were high in this mission, and Coulson did not delay any time, drawing a few circles from the list of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and a part of the elite was circled. The next step is to convince them one by one to join their own special response team.
This process is not too difficult, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. members have to be disciplined, and Nick Fury has given him permission, and most of the agents dare not disobey.
The list was set here, and Coulson rushed to the Tinder Source Company non-stop. When he heard that Rorschach was not at the company, Coulson didn't know whether he was happy or disappointed.
Sarah, the host, was noncommittal to Coulson's offer to recruit the Transcendent, and after consulting Rorschach, she pointed out the address of Coulson's mutant apartment.
As for the Inhumans, after the settlement was destroyed by Hydra, it was impossible for people of this race to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore.
Mutant apartment, in fact, Coulson is not unaware of the existence of this place. But being able to get an introduction from Tinder Source is actually a signal, an attitude that Rorschach is willing to be an intermediary for this matter.
This way, the communication between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the mutants will also be slightly smoother.
It took two days for Coulson to put the S.H.I.E.L.D. team together a bit, and then he brought the entire group to Hell's Kitchen's mutant apartment.
The reason why he wanted to bring all of them with him was because they would all be working together in a group in the future, and Coulson needed to consider the opinions of the other members of the group before selecting the official candidates. Otherwise, bringing the mustard in your heart to the task is tantamount to making a joke with your own life.
It's just that when Coulson came to the mutant apartment, he found that it was crowded. The S.H.I.E.L.D. group was squeezed out of the door and couldn't get in at all.
Colson's old partner Melinda asked curiously, "What's going on?" Isn't this a secret stronghold for mutants, how can there be such a lively situation? ”
"I'll have to call and ask." Coulson was also a little confused.
However, after a phone call, the mutants replied that someone would be sent to pick them up and take them into the apartment.
Coulson thought that this was the meaning of sending people out to maintain order, but it was not quite, and a purple energy light appeared around him, expanding into a spatial door in an instant.
Through this spatial door, Coulson could see a purple-haired mutant girl and say to them, "Come in, there will only be more and more people." ”
Of the members of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team, only Coulson and Melinda had contact with mutants, and the others all had cautious expressions on their faces.
Coulson didn't hesitate to lead by example, first passing through the seemingly unstable spatial door, Melinda followed closely behind.
Both officers entered, and the remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, even if they were still a little uneasy in their hearts, could only grit their teeth and follow in.
On the opposite side of the space door was a spacious office, except for the purple-haired girl who opened the space door just now, there was only one equally young girl left, sitting behind the desk, looking at everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. with a pair of big smoky eyes.
"Hello, Miss Lona, I'm Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D." Coulson took the initiative to speak first.
"I know you, Rorschach told me why you're here." Lorna said without any politeness.
"So, Miss Lona, what do you mean?" Coulson asked.
"It's not impossible to cooperate, but I want to see how much sincerity and ability S.H.I.E.L.D. has."
Lorna's words made Coulson understand that today would not be so easy to achieve. However, Coulson has also been prepared for this.
"I wonder how Miss Lorna needs me to prove it?" Coulson asked.
"You came at the right time to know why there are so many people today? Because today there is a very important match taking place here. If you're able to participate, and get satisfactory results, I'd agree with you recruiting mutants. Lorna explained to Coulson.
"Competitions? What type of contest is it? Coulson asked.
Among the people he brought over today, only Melinda was an expert in combat, and the remaining two young men were actually excellent graduates he had dug up from S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. These two are super-geniuses in mechanical engineering and biochemistry, but they are also helpless civilians.
If Lorna is asking for a tough match, they may not be useful.
Lorna didn't answer, but asked. "Have you heard of a Pokemon Trainer?"
"Is that the mechanical pet that's been popular lately? What does this have to do with our cooperation? Coulson asked.
"Did you know that the abilities of these mechanical pets are actually from the special abilities of mutants and inhumans?" Lorna continued.
"Well, I've heard some relevant information." Coulson replied honestly.
"When you come to recruit mutants, you have to know the mutants and know how to assign tasks to them properly. The enemy you are facing will certainly not be ordinary criminals, so if your orders are not correct, my compatriots will be injured or even killed. Prove in this trainer contest that you have what it takes to command the extraordinary. Lorna explained.
