"Sitwell is one of you Hydra, right? I'd like to have a good chat with him. ”
Grant's remark didn't get much attention from Whitehall. Then, when Grant was greeted by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who had come to recruit him, he was accompanied by Sitwell's body, in addition to Skye, who couldn't see any symptoms. Then, in front of the S.H.I.E.L.D. people, Grant threw Sitwell's body in front of them.
The bald agent had a shocking bullet hole in his glossy forehead. Judging by the complexion that had lost its luster, Sitwell had been dead for at least three or four hours. But instead of closing, the corpse's eyes widened. Even the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who often walk between life and death, couldn't help but feel creepy when they saw it.
Death horror is still secondary, but it is a high-ranking agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who died. After coming to their senses, the agents who saw this scene simply took their guns out of their holsters and held them up to aim at Grant and Skye.
Fortunately, the person sent by Fury to recruit Grant is really a famous black widow. Woman - Natasha. Otherwise, Grant, who is in a rather bad mood, may beat each other because of the attitude of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
And Natasha's attitude is even more interesting. She motioned for her men to relax, then walked over to the corpse. Probably to see better, she stretched out her foot and picked at the corpse's head with the sole of her shoe.
"A perfect shot." With that, Natasha nodded to Skye in greeting, and then walked over to Grant, "What did he do?" ”
"He" of course refers to the one who is still lying on the ground and has lost signs of life. Natasha's tone of questioning is also very interesting, like "Have you eaten" on the other side of the ocean, cordial and casual.
"I heard that Hydra has resurrected and caused you a lot of trouble?" Grant didn't respond immediately, but asked this question first.
"That's true." Natasha nodded dryly, "But that's Fury's business, I just have to follow orders." ”
Grant winked at Natasha and said half-jokingly, "An organization that has been dormant for more than sixty years has suddenly erupted, and there must be something to rely on." The battlefield between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra is not an ordinary danger. Haven't you ever thought about quitting? ”
Hearing this, Natasha stared at Grant. It was a long time before she responded, "When the time comes, I will." ”
"I'll remind you when the time comes." Grant laughed, "Let's talk about this person." I was misled by Skye while trying to save him, and I was surrounded by humanoid monsters created by Hydra using Banner's blood. In fact, this guy is the one who Hydra is lurking inside your S.H.I.E.L.D. It wasn't just me, Garrett and Ward were seriously injured. They're still recuperating not far away. ”
Grant pointed in the direction of the old castle and added, "I believe that their confessions, both verbal and physical, are more convincing than I say." ”
Natasha didn't show any concern for Sitwell from the beginning to the end, and only nodded her head as usual.
"Then let's go." She only looked a little anxious at this time, "Loki doesn't know when he will launch his so-called transformation. Fury is very worried. It's time for us to rush to the next stop. ”
"What's next?"
"Yes. The next stop is Gabon, an African country on the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean. We need to pick up Bruce Banner and Elizabeth Betty there. ”
Leaving her men to dispose of Sitwell's corpse and pick up the old castle Negaret and Ward's party, Natasha followed Grant and Skye aboard the nearby "Black". The stealthy Quint fighter plane took to the air, then looked south at Gabon and flew away.
"You're recruiting them for your own sake." Grant smiled, "Your S.H.I.E.L.D. has been spying on them lately, but they've been annoyed. ”
Grant's words had a sarcastic tone in them, and Natasha was upset as a result.
"Don't talk to me like that, dear. I'm just an executor, not a decision-maker. And it's not like I'm spying on them. Glancing at Skye, who had not spoken, Natasha said, "But you're right, something unpleasant might happen if we recruit him. So it's better for you to come. You have a relationship with them, and I believe that if you intercede, they will join. ”
"Okay, okay. This time I was wrong. Grant rolled his eyes helplessly, then became serious, "Actually, I've already talked to them preliminarily. They have little resistance to saving all of humanity. By the way, who are the Avengers you are talking about now? ”
"Not much, but it's all we can find." Natasha pinched her eyebrows, looking a little worried, "'The Great Magician' - that is, you, Iron Man Tony Stark, Hawkeye Clint Barton, Hulk Bruce Banner, Red Hulk Elizabeth Betty, and me, of course, Captain America Steve Rogers. ”
Grant nodded. The people who have appeared openly so far and can play a role in the expected level of combat are indeed all of them - except for Thor the god of thunder far away in Asgard.
At this time, Natasha said again: "By the way, there is another person you didn't expect. ”
Since it is said to be "unexpected", it means that this person is known to both Grant and Skye. After thinking about it for a long time, Skye first made a guess.
"Roddy?"
"Ah, I just said I missed the war machine." Natasha accidentally sold a cute, "'War Machine' is the nickname given to Roddy within the military. But I'm not talking about him. Guess again. ”
"Pepper?"
"Why do you keep guessing that Pepper is up?" Skye couldn't see Grant's unreliable speculation, "Do you think someone like Stark would let Pepper take risks?" ”
"Well, I don't think she's the most likely. After all, Stark is the only one who has been able to launch a superhero in a short period of time. And there are only two people he trusts......"
At this point, Natasha interjected: "It's close, but it's not Pepper." ”
Even with this hint, the two still can't guess, so Natasha has no choice but to uncover the mystery.
"This person is the female Iron Man - Skye!"
(PS: Gabon, an African country, is almost in that position in Marvel's setting.) so…… )
