Chapter 54: The Avengers' Umbrella
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Kells teleports to the middle floor of a ten-story building in Queens, New York.
There are already three people in this floor, which is divided into several pieces, in addition to a few desks and a few computers, and a few training bags hanging on the ceiling, which is very simple.
"This is where the Avengers work?" Kells looked at the three in front of him in disbelief.
"Any questions?" Natasha looked at Kells questioningly.
Kells looked at the three of them, "Don't you think it's too simple?" ”
Natasha looked at him and said, "The Avengers don't belong to any government agency, so we have to raise our own funds, and the cost of renting this floor is still allocated to us by Director Fury." S.H.I.E.L.D. has only allocated this once, and the lease term of this floor is only half a year, and we will have to figure out how to spend the rest of it. ”
Listening to Natasha's words, Kells could only shake his head speechlessly, walked towards Captain America, and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Rogers, I'm Kyles Rylin!" ”
"Hello, I'm Steve Rogers!" Captain America reached out and shook Kells.
Because of the relationship he had already met with Hawkeye, Kells just nodded at him and said to Natasha, "How are you preparing for my test of joining the Avengers?" ”
"The purpose of the Avengers is to protect the safety of the people on Earth, so the test of you is naturally based on this."
Natasha said, "Magneto's actions tonight will threaten people's safety, so we need to stop him." Based on your performance in action, we will determine if you are a worthy Avenger. ”
"Who decides?" Kells looked at the three.
"It's up to the three of us to decide!" Natasha said.
Looking at the three of them, Kells shook his head and said: "I don't think the so-called test should not exist, the Avengers can't be just a few of us, and they will definitely recruit people to join in the future, if there is a test, the other party may not join because of this." ”
Captain America said: "The so-called test is our observation of that person, and the future joiner, if we know that he is a person, we naturally don't need a test." ”
"Okay!" Kells nodded, not dwelling on the question, but said, "I want to know, who is the leader of the Avengers?" If you don't have a leader, if you have a disagreement, it will be very troublesome. ”
Natasha said, "For the time being, I am the leader and directs the actions of the Avengers. ”
"You? You can't! Kells glanced at Natasha and shook his head directly.
"Natasha, you and Hawkeye originally belonged to S.H.I.E.L.D., I can't guarantee that you are completely out of S.H.I.E.L.D. now, I don't want to end up doing things for your S.H.I.E.L.D."
"The purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to protect the earth, and it is no different from the Avengers, the only difference is that there will be superpowers here in the Avengers." Natasha paused as she spoke, looked at Kells seriously, and said, "Also, Kells, you should trust us. We are also part of the Avengers, so what's the point of the Avengers if we can't be trusted? ”
"Then I see who I trust!" Kells said and looked at Captain America and said, "If it were Captain America, I would choose to trust." ”
"Thank you!" Captain America thanked him.
Natasha looked at Kells and said, "Even if I'm not leading the Avengers, if you don't trust me, what's the point of you joining?" ”
"Just kidding, why be so nervous?" Kells burst out laughing, winking at Natasha.
Natasha frowned when she heard this, and didn't say anything more.
"This is our contact tool!" Hawkeye, who hadn't spoken all this time, threw something at Kells.
Kells looked at the headset in his hand and said, "When we connect, the conversation won't be intercepted, right?" ”
Natasha said, "You want to say that S.H.I.E.L.D. will be spied, right?" ”
"If you insist on that, I don't deny it." Kyles shrugged his shoulders and looked at the three people in front of him, "Joining the Avengers, I think it can bring some changes to my life, but I don't want to get too involved with the government and do things for them." If you believe me, I'll prepare another base for the Avengers, contact tools or something, and I'll get rid of S.H.I.E.L.D. and complete true independence. ”
"Kells, you know, you're not one of the Avengers yet." Natasha said as she looked at him.
"No, I agree with him!" Captain America said suddenly.
"Looks like I'm not alone!" Kells smiled and looked at Natasha.
"Captain!" Natasha couldn't help but look at Captain America when she heard this.
"I've been fighting for freedom and people all my life, and my experience has taught me that politicians can't be trusted, they will only use us to achieve what they want and become tools in their hands," Captain America said in a deep voice. And they don't think about the harm that people may receive, they only pursue profits. ”
"Beautifully said!" Kyles clapped softly and gave Captain America a thumbs up. Captain America's summary of politicians is the same as his thoughts, he wants to find someone to fight, but he doesn't want to be a tool for others to exclude dissent. So no matter what, he must get the Avengers out of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control.
"The captain is right, I agree!" Hawkeye approving.
"Hawkeye?!" Natasha turned to look at Hawkeye, not understanding what he meant.
"But I don't trust you either!" Hawkeye ignored Natasha, but looked at Kells and said, "You're the chairman of Ambrera, if we all use your things, who knows if you'll do anything." ”
Kells shrugged his shoulders and didn't retort, but said, "Do you want me to get a new base?" There's no way I'm going to mess around the base, so you can check it out when the time comes. ”
"Then move to the new base you mentioned!" Captain America said and looked at Natasha and said, "Black Widow, what do you think?" ”
Natasha said with a normal face: "If you have no opinion, of course I have no problem. ”
"Alright, then let's decide!" Hawkeye spoke up to make a decision.
"Now let's talk about tonight's battle plan!" Captain America faces the threesome.
Kells said seriously: "Magneto's awesomeness, I don't think you should know without me saying it, to be honest, I don't think it will be of any use for the three of you to go." ”
Hawkeye spoke up, "Magneto can control metal, and when the time comes, I will remove the metal items on my body, and replace the bow and arrows with wooden ones." ”
"Me too!" Captain America echoed, knowing Magneto's ability, he naturally wouldn't take his shield stupidly, only a wooden shield.
Natasha said, "Me too, even if I can't use a firearm, I can help." ”
"Magneto is not just about controlling metal, he can control magnetic fields, even if it may not be that powerful, but you still have to be careful." Kells reminded loudly.
Captain America said to the three: "This is the first battle of the Avengers in the true sense, I hope everyone can fight beautifully." ”
"Victory will be ours!" Kells said with a smile.
When it was just dark in New York, the four of the Avengers had already arrived on Liberty Island, where the Statue of Liberty was located.
Standing at the top of the Statue of Liberty, looking out at the dark sea, Natasha spoke up, "Kells, use your power to let us see the distance too." ”
Natasha said with a smirk, "Kells, do you want to kiss again this time?" I don't mind if I need to. "She had always been very reluctant to believe that Kells needed to kiss each other when he shared that ability, and it just so happened that this time it was not only her, but there were two men here to see what he was going to do. If he really wants to kiss, she really doesn't mind, but wants to see how he kisses two men.
"If you don't mind, then I'm going to kiss you!" Kells came up to Natasha and looked at her earnestly.
"Come on, I don't mind!" Natasha gritted her teeth.
"You said it yourself!" Kells said and kissed Natasha directly on the lips, touching it away, not giving her a chance to bite herself.
"Damn it!" Natasha wiped her lower lip fiercely, originally she wanted to kiss her forehead, but she couldn't help but laugh again at the thought that Kells was going to kiss Captain America and Hawkeye.
"Are you going to kiss Hawkeye or Captain first?" Natasha looked at Kells with a sneer.
"Why should I kiss them?" Looking at Natasha, who was about to watch a good show, Kells suddenly smiled and said, "It's you who want to kiss me, I didn't say that I need relatives now to be able to let you have my ability." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Natasha's face became a little unsightly when she heard this.
"It's literally, you're thinking too much about yourself."
After replying to Natasha, Kells said to Captain America and Hawkeye, "You two put your hands on my shoulders, and I will share my abilities with you." ”
Captain America and Hawkeye already knew about his abilities from S.H.I.E.L.D., so they happily put their hands on it.
As soon as the hands of the two of them were put up, they felt a slight appearance within five hundred meters, which was clearer than they could see with their eyes.
"Umbrella, this ability of yours is stronger than radar!" Hawkeye, who felt the ability, couldn't help but sigh.
The Umbrella is Kells' code name for himself, and in contrast to Captain America and Hawkeye, who wear masks, he wears just a pair of ordinary black sunglasses, except that the lenses have the Ambrera logo on them. Originally, he didn't even want to wear sunglasses, but at Natasha's request, he reluctantly wore such glasses.
Kyles smiled and turned to Natasha, "If you want to, just touch my body." ”
"Sooner or later, I'll let you know it's awesome!" Natasha snorted, knowing that now was not the time to dwell on this, and restrained her anger and put her hand on Kells' back.
