When Grant received the call, he and Skye were chatting happily in the invisible Quin. The Quint fighter planes flew in automatic flight mode towards the Hoover Dam in Arizona.
The phone call almost knocked out his mood completely.
"Bureau...... Fury? I'm so flattered that you contacted me personally? What happened? ”
On the other end of the phone, Fury didn't talk to Grant politely, but asked directly, "Lee, where are you?" ”
"Shouldn't I have asked what I'm doing first?" Grant replied casually, "I'm on vacation and won't accept service orders for the time being. What's ......"
As a result, he was interrupted.
"I'm not kidding. We need you! ”
Need me? Not long ago, I was wanted by you!
Thinking so, Grant subconsciously wanted to choke the other party. However, when he saw Skye watching him, he immediately changed his attention: "Okay, I'm listening. ”
"Under pressure from the Council, I just sent a team to find trouble with Stark......"
"Why, I think Stark was still unconscious. But if you really want me to help, I won't say no. ”
"Listen to me! This is a very urgent and important matter. Fury's voice was still so oppressive, "I want you to take Stark and his suit and all the relevant materials before the people I sent arrived." If you can't do that, at least send the people I sent back. ”
"Whew, I know." Grant pinched his brow, "Stark as a friend is definitely better than the hostile Stark, and the living Stark is better than the dead Stark." If nothing else, there is no guarantee that one day you will have to deal with a higher-level enemy, and then the current suits will be obsolete. Even if you do do do it, you have to wait until Stark is really dead, right? ”
If it was in person, Grant could see Fury nodding: "If that hadn't happened, you should be a good successor." ”
And if it was really face-to-face, Fury could also see Grant's pouting: "Come on, there is no need to say this kind of thing again." I'm wondering why you came to me directly, Coulson, are they being targeted? ”
"Coulson, they're all on the bright side, and there's someone on the council watching. Even I can't openly challenge the Council's ......"
"So it's up to me, I'm a traitor anyway, right?" Grant nodded, expressing understanding, "I have something to say about the pay. ”
Fury seemed stunned for a moment: "I didn't know you were a money-loving person." This time I can pay three times as much as last time. ”
"As you said, I have never been a money grubber. The price is the same as last time, but I need you to do one thing. Grant glanced at Skye again, and suddenly lowered his voice, "You have a blacked-out document......
Seeing that Grant was about to whisper, Skye walked away consciously. A few minutes later, watching Grant put away the phone, she greeted her: "Got an order?" ”
"yes!" Grant said apologetically, "I can't take you to see the Hoover Dam for a while." ”
Watching the other party return to the driver's seat to set the flight path, Skye gritted his teeth: "Then next time." Are you going to send me back first or am I going to ride myself after landing? ”
Hearing Skye say this, Grant glanced back at her.
"What are you talking about!" He smiled and said, "Aren't you my subordinate, of course you're going to work now." ”
Now Skye is like a little withered flower rejuvenated. An uncontrollable smile appeared on her face: "I'm not your subordinate, but a partner!" ”
"Alright, buddy. Come and sit down. Grant also smiled lightly, "We're going to speed up!" ”
Arizona is right next door to California, so Grant and Skye soon made their way into California. The next step is to go to Tony Stark. This one is not hard to find. Given that Iron Man himself is still unconscious, there are only two possibilities where he is. One is the hospital under Stark Industries, and the other is 10880 Malibu. Considering that the public does not yet know the news that he is unconscious, it can only be the latter.
But knowing that you know, how can you successfully take Tony Stark away. Not to mention that Garrett's team is on the way, just convincing Pepperpotz to convince him to believe in himself is already a super problem. Stark fell into a coma, she was the most helpless. Counting on her to make a decision? That's not a good idea.
In this way, it seems that there is only one choice left but to take a hard shot.
Skye hacked James Roddy's phone with a bit of effort, and Grant talked to Tony Stark's friend for a while. He didn't expect to be able to convince the other party with a single phone call, but directly asked the other party to meet in front of Stark's villa.
Eventually, Grant negotiated with Roddy and Pepper. After Garrett's team arrives and shows malice, Grant, disguised as a newcomer, pushes them back, at which point Pepper and Roddy follow Grant's advice.
Of course, relying on this alone, from the perspective of Roddy and Pepper, Grant may not be without the possibility of collusion with Garrett who will appear later. So, Skye needed to make a move again. Grant asks her to call Coulson through a special channel and give it to Pepper to answer. Coulson made a good impression on Pepper during the Obadai incident more than half a year ago, and now it is up to him to vouch for Pepper's trust in Grant to go up a notch.
Things are going well. Although Coulson did not know the details of what happened, he still gave Grant a guarantee very simply. Pepper also dispelled the last bit of worry. Now it's time for Garrett to appear.
After only half an hour of waiting, Garrett appeared with his men. It wasn't a small team, it was a whole twenty people. If you count the pilots and co-pilots of the two Kun fighters, it is four six-person squads.
Over there, Garrett ordered more than a dozen people to stand guard outside the villa, and he led a team to knock on the door. Here, Grant took down the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents outside one by one according to the original plan. When Garrett tells Pepper directly when he wants to come, Grant walks into the villa.
"Hey, John, long time no see!"
"It's you!" Garrett wouldn't admit that he was taken aback by a junior, "What are you traitors doing here?" ”
Pointed at by six assault rifles, Grant was still very relaxed: "I heard that you asked Mr. Stark to get some things, and it just so happens that I also want to have an Iron Man addiction." So I'm sorry. The last time you wounded your disciples, this time it's your turn. ”
As he spoke, Grant motioned for Pepper to hide. And before he could finish his words, this hall turned into a battlefield. It's just that the difference in strength between the two sides is there, and before the opponent's box of bullets is finished, they were all put down by Grant. To be on the safe side, he also checked them one by one.
"You...... You killed them? ”
A voice came from behind the couch, and it was Pepper. Hearing her ask, Grant shrugged, "It's just that I'm stunned." Roddy's side is almost ready, it's time for the next step. ”
