"'Coulson.'"

Looking at Grant, Coulson's originally smiling expression changed. Then, with his hands spread out, "We've gotten to this point, right?" ”

All of a sudden, the old and the young were silent. After a while, maybe a few seconds, or a dozen or dozens of seconds, Grant broke the silence.

"I thought you were in New York."

"It seems that even after leaving S.H.I.E.L.D., even on the way to escape, you still have such connections."

At this time, Coulson's face once again appeared with that kind smile that made people feel good. This is the expression that Coulson should have, not the bitter gourd face just now. Looking at this face, Grant thought of another person, the woman named "Rena". is also smiling, but Rena's skills are obviously not enough, and her smile can easily make people see that there is something hidden in it, and there is no ulterior motive.

Coming back to his senses, Grant said, "You taught it well. ”

God testifies that Grant did not mean to provoke or provoke the other party. Luckily, Coulson seems to think so, too. He smiled, then spoke up in response to Grant's last sentence.

"I should be in New York. But I played a little trick, and then here I am. ”

Grant had expected this to be the hardest conversation of his life, even harder than the conversation he had with Rena in the cage before. Now, he's going to bring the topic into it himself.

Looking around, Grant said, "Are you here to get me?" ”

"I'm not the only one who wants to arrest you. Besides, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents can't just enter the country. ”

Hearing this, Grant breathed a sigh of relief. If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to meet the guy in front of him, who was also a father and a friend.

Unfortunately, these two relationships seem to be about to disappear into the past tense.

"That's good news. Of course, you know, for me. ”

Grant was also smiling. It is undeniable that he has a lot of Coulson's shadow in him. His defection also made several people in S.H.I.E.L.D. feel sorry for him.

Of course, it was Coulson himself who felt the most pity. He has done a lot of things for S.H.I.E.L.D. in his life, and there have been mistakes and failures, but bringing Grant out of the orphanage and making him a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. has always been one of his most important and important decisions. Now it's not a mistake, it's not a failure, but he has come to this point helplessly, how can he not regret it. If he had the chance, he would definitely do everything in his power to save it all.

"You can rest assured, I'm not here for this." He turned to Grant, "Or we can find a quiet place and have a good talk." ”

"Like before?"

Grant said with a smile. Coulson laughed as he listened.

"yes, as before."

"That's fine. But you'll have to pay for it. ”

"Oh come on, you just got a sum of money, you should pay for it. Besides, how can you let me, a lonely man, invite you to dinner? ”

"Why not! Also, you're not alone, and I really don't have a girlfriend. How's that, are you interested in helping me solve this problem? ”

Hearing this, the corners of Coulson's mouth moved. Finally holding back a smile, he said seriously: "I don't have many resources in this area. I'll talk to Agent Romanoff and see what she can do. ”

"Oh, please!"

One is a high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and the other is a S.H.I.E.L.D. traitor. Coulson didn't worry about what Grant would do to him, and Grant wasn't afraid that Coulson would kill him, so the two walked towards the restaurant side by side.

When eating, both of them consciously avoided a topic that might be disappointing, and instead talked about their own interesting stories or shared experiences. Therefore, this meal was quite enjoyable. It's just that when the barbecue platter ordered by the two of them became less and less, the atmosphere was still irrepressibly lonely.

So Grant personally ended it.

"Let's get down to business." Pushing away the plate that had not been left much, Grant rinsed his mouth, then put his fingers together, rested his elbows on the table, and looked at Coulson and said, "What made you leave the New York side behind and run halfway around the world to come here?" ”

Seeing him like this, Coulson also put down the dishes and wiped his mouth.

"You're still the same, impatient. How many times have I told you, maybe you thought I was too harsh and verbose. ”

Laughing at himself, he said this, and without waiting for Grant to deny or affirm, Coulson straightened his face: "Now there is a way to give you a chance to return to S.H.I.E.L.D." ”

Grant was stunned for a moment.

Return to S.H.I.E.L.D.? It wasn't an easy decision for either Grant or Coulson. For Grant, he has to consider "whether it is necessary" and "whether it is suitable or not". As for Coulson, in Grant's view, there is a big problem - "whether he is qualified for this". Or should I ask, who exactly does Coulson represent to say such a thing?

Just as Grant was frowning and staring at Coulson's eyes and expression, while thinking about the possible meaning and possible situation of the other party's words, on the other side of the world, a big event broke out in the United States in the dark night. This incident was swept across the United States in an instant, and it was even more sensational than the previous NSA vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. showdown.

Tony Stark's convoy was attacked, and his fate and whereabouts are unknown!

As the chairman of the largest arms supplier in the United States, and the most well-known genius in modern times, coupled with the non-stop lace news 365 days a year, Tony Stark has become the topic of conversation among the American people for a long time with the three keywords of wealth, supernatural intelligence and flowery heart. Although this man does not seem to be a decent person, although this man has well-known flaws in his character, and although there are many people who are jealous and hateful to the rich, these do not refute the fact that he is one of the most popular people in the United States. The fact that he gets more attention as an ordinary person — or a non-practitioner — than most Hollywood stars is telling.

Now, this person has been attacked and his whereabouts are unknown?

According to sources, Tony Stark had just conducted a weapons display near a US military base in Afghanistan and was attacked as he was escorted away. At this moment, the "incompetent" U.S. military has once again become the target of verbal criticism. The period of the Croatian war was even more difficult. However, the U.S. military was not the last to be scolded, and the nsa, which had staged a farce before, was also named, followed by the FBI and cIa. Then a strange argument arose - even Tony Stark, a person who has contributed so much to the country, cannot be effectively protected, so who should be counted on for the rights and interests of ordinary citizens?

"Incompetence" is no longer limited to describing the military, but has become a common word for almost all political policies. Synonymous with government agencies, including S.H.I.E.L.D. And "Tony Stark" has also become a symbol, and ordinary people use it as a reason to fight for their rights. Government agencies, especially those establishments, looked to him as the most critical point in salvaging their reputations. As long as Tony Stark can be found, all the current controversy will disappear.

As the most secretive of the several intelligence agencies, S.H.I.E.L.D. has received very little blame. However, for various reasons, they are also the most concerned about Tony Stark and his person. It's a pity that finding people is not their forte, especially in that part of Afghanistan. As a result, they can only keep an eye on the situation and lay out a variety of responses to the possible outcome. One of them was Coulson, who was in New York, giving an insightful interview to Tony Stark, who had returned safely.

Only now, Coulson is still sitting in a restaurant in Tehran, looking at his "protégé" in astonishment.

"Yes, you heard it right, back to S.H.I.E.L.D."

(PS: Originally, I wrote a plot where I accidentally entered the "afterlife" and dealt with the Inhumans, probably when I met the teleporter, I thought he was kidnapping and rushed over when I used his ability to take people away.) Then enter that place, meet Jia Ying, and then get the method of training superpowers from her. Just after watching the latest episode of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", I immediately deleted that episode. The water of the Inhumans is too deep, and the screenwriter's brain is spinning too fast, so he can't keep up! Let's wait and see. ）

(Ps: It's about to enter the main line of the cinematic universe, which is "Iron Man 1".) I won't follow Stark Cave to play in the mud, brave the forbidden zone or anything, but some "coincidences" are "inevitable". ）
