Chapter 190: Bad News

Nick Fury returned to the central control room and asked Maria Hill with a cold face, "Is the communication interference cleared, and the external communication is normal?" ”

"A qiΔ“ has been restored to normal." Maria Hill nodded. Although the mothership has been attacked and its engines and some parts have been damaged, it has resumed work with the help of Tony Stark and Thor.

Thankfully, the aircraft carrier was not irreparably damaged in the attack.

"Have you traced the clown's traces according to the communication?" Nick Fury asked again. Judging by the Joker's last message, it is clear that he will have the next move. But what Nick Fury can't tolerate the most is the next move of such a madman.

"Although the arrival of Hawkeye and interference did not allow us to pursue the last step, we have already delineated a rough range. I've sent three standard squads of nine people over. Maria Hill replied, "They're somewhere underground in the city." ”

"They had better bring me some good news." Nick Fury's heart was also lifted when he heard this, and he had more hope. The rebellious Hawkeye brought a lot of trouble to their search and arrest work. Although he vaguely felt that the clown might have moved somewhere else by the time the team arrived, he had to give it a try anyway.

"What about Bruce Wayne? I asked you to contact him. Nick Fury asked again: "He's played against the Joker, he understands the Joker's thinking and strategy better, and I need him to come over, even if it's just to be a temporary advisor." ”

"He's missing." Maria Hill looked helpless.

"Missing?" Nick Fury held his forehead and looked at Maria Hill with one eye, "Is it because he doesn't want to come or what?" What about the guys we're in charge of him in Gotham? ”

"It's true that he's missing, sir." Maria Hill said.

"Then find a way to find him." Nick Fury glared at her.

Maria Hill nodded, and as she turned to leave, the communicator in her ear flickered. Nick Fury looked at the communicator on his ear and listened to something, glancing at Maria Hill with a straight face after glancing at him. A slight frown.

"A bunch of bad news and a piece of good news that doesn't count as good news, sir."

Maria Hill let go of her finger on the earbud communicator and reported to Nick Fury with a calm face.

"Let's start with the bad news." Nick Fury said: "It's bad enough anyway. ”

"It could be worse, sir." Maria Hill spread her hands in embarrassment: "Some people have been kidnapped. ”

Nick Fury looked at Maria Hill and didn't speak. He is very aware of the character and personality of his henchman, and she is most like him in personality. Calm, tenacious, and, if necessary, cold. Some were abducted. No matter how important these people are, it is not within their purview to worry about and manage.

Unless the kidnappers are aliens, related to some supernatural creatures.

But in the current situation, things are all prioritized for the time being. What Nick Fury cares about the most at the moment, and put the most energy into, is to find Loki's gang at all costs before things get out of hand.

There's no way Maria Hill didn't know this.

"That's a bunch of parliamentarians and business people with status." Maria Hill said.

"So what? Now the thing is that the president has been kidnapped, and it is not our turn to be good people. Nick Fury replied indifferently: "We are only interested in removing the threat of aliens." Maintain the stability of human society, and the responsibility of the World Security Council. ”

"Those people have a deep connection to Stark Enterprises and Storm Enterprises. To make matters worse, some identity-sensitive ones are also there. Maria Hill said seriously.

"Identity-sensitive?" Nick Fury asked rhetorically, "How sensitive?" ”

"Miss Pepper Potts, CEO of Stark Enterprises, Jane Foster, Thor's Earth lover, and Mae Parker, Spider-Man's aunt Peter Parker. Worst of all, S.H.I.E.L.D. founder Peggy Carter was also attacked, although the attackers did not succeed. ”

Maria Hill couldn't help but keep her voice down. Tony Stark: They're in the real room for Dr. Bruce Banner, if they know the news. This team, which has not yet cultivated tacit understanding and team spirit, has suffered successive setbacks when they recognize each other. The elites, whose morale has plummeted, cannot be said to fall apart immediately.

Maria Hill admits that these people are the best of the best in their respective fields, and that they can be compared to them on both hands and feet. But these people are only suited to work alone, or to teams built with themselves at their core.

It's a team with a lot of squad, and Maria Hill acknowledges that. But the luxury of the lineup cannot be equated with its combat power value.

It's like a person who wants to build a computer. Bought a bunch of luxurious hardware, only to find that these expensive and powerful hardware are difficult to be compatible with each other. In this way, the performance that can be played may not be as good as the performance, but the hardware that is fully compatible with each other is powerful and stable.

"Damn it! What about the people we protect them? Loki: How did they know the whereabouts of these people? Nick Fury's dark face almost held back the anger in his heart. Of course, he knew what the consequences would be if the news was learned by the guys next to him who were not very emotional.

But this information cannot be concealed.

Nick Fury doesn't know if he blocked these messages, Tony Stark, they will learn from other sources, just about Loki and the Joker's big move, and they will definitely use these people to do something next.

Just like the previous Betty, who directly killed Bruce Banner, whom Nick Fury had high hopes for. Of course, it's also because Bruce Banner is special.

"What else?" Nick Fury forced the anxiety and anger in his chest, and then asked, "Isn't there another good news that is not good news?" Let's talk about it. ”

"Storm Enterprises has been attacked ......"

"Hell yes!"

Before Maria Hill could finish speaking, a man's voice interjected in anger.

Nick Fury and Maria Hill turned to look at the source of the sound, only to see Meng Ao staring at them with a tense face behind them. Behind Meng Ao are Tony Stark and others.

"Calm down, Meng Ao."

Nick Fury said it immediately, and he didn't even understand that he was saying it to Meng Ao. Or to Meng Ao and the Avengers behind him.

"Storm Businesses has been attacked?"

However, Meng Ao didn't pay attention to Nick Fury, he just looked at Maria Hill very seriously and asked repeatedly.

Maria Hill subconsciously leaned her gaze to Nick Fury beside her, wanting to get a hint from him. But Meng Ao's next sentence immediately brutally shredded Maria Hill's plan. Meng Ao said: "Don't look at him, sue me directly." ”

Nick Fury reluctantly took a step back. Reaching out and making a gesture of please to Maria Hill. Anyway, things always have to be faced. He's been looking for a way to pinch the team together. They don't want their tacit understanding to be comparable to his elite agent team, but at least they don't just know how to fight on their own, or even internal conflicts.

He had been thinking about the Avengers plan for a long time, and when he proposed it, it was also vetoed by the World Security Council, but he persevered, and took advantage of this Loki invasion to get the official approval of its establishment and existence.

But strictly speaking, although because of Loki, this Nick Fury's plan to fight a long game was successful. But the after-effects are not without it. Most obviously, Nick Fury is running out of time.

According to the previous plan, step by step, Nick Fury has plenty of time to run in this team, solve the team's disagreements and disagreements little by little, and let them gradually become tacit and recognize each other.

But right now, under Loki's threat, all he lacks is time. In a short period of time, he had to pinch a group of extraordinary and unruly fellows into a single whole. If possible, Nick Fury really wants to borrow the abilities of Rocky Hawkeye and Servig. Put it to work with his team with high hopes.

Not to mention the others, just the conceited and proud Tony Stark in this team. can stab Nick Fury in the face.

And Meng Ao seems to be the most cooperative with him, but now it is clear that he has always had his own plans in mind. Not doing things that are not beneficial, which is very much in line with what Nick Fury knows about him.

Thor, this is a god, an outsider on the side of humanity. And his status as the heir of Asgard and the son of Odin is also destined to make it impossible for Nick Fury to order him to do anything.

Bruce Banner's uncontrollable.

Spider-Man Peter Parker's part-time job mentality.

Such a problematic team. Aside from Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff, none of them made Nick Fury feel at ease.

It's okay to say a qiΔ“ open. Nick Fury thinks this group of people who are very conceited and arrogant need to feel some pressure and motivation. This is the only way to motivate them to abandon their prejudices against each other. as well as their own conceit and arrogance, tentatively cooperate and partner with each other.

Nick Fury doesn't know how long this kind of cooperation and partnership will last, but as long as he can survive this wave of disasters steadily, he will have a little respite, and he can always polish slowly in plenty of time.

Of course, this assumption is based on the fact that everyone can hear the bad news without immediately falling apart.

"Loki sent men to invade Storm Enterprise, intending to kidnap Miss Ida Wong and destroy Storm's underground chamber. Miss Ida Wang is unharmed, but Storm Enterprises suffers some damage from the Bronsky's sabotage. Maybe you should consider redecorating? Maria Hill replied truthfully.

Meng Ao breathed a long sigh of relief, since the White Queen Emma was kidnapped by Magneto, the defense he arranged by the people around him had been increased by several levels, and this was the kind of thing he prevented. For the sake of Ada's safety, Meng Ao didn't even bring William with him this time, but let him stay with Ida Wang.

Old Al in Storm's old mansion has the protection of the White Queen Emma and Serena, and when necessary, Meng Ao also left Old Al a super authorization from the White Queen, who can open the B.O.W. biological weapons inventory treasured in Meng Ao's storage vault anytime and anywhere.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Meng Ao was left with only a burst of weakness.

For the third time, this is the third time since the establishment of Storm that it has been invaded by YanzhΓ²ng.

First Norman Osborne curated.

Second Harry Osborne Curated.

It's easy for Norman Osborne to die, and Harry Osborne is ruined by him, but Loki, an outsider, jumps out again. Meng Ao felt for a while that the feng shui of his own company was not good, and he should re-establish a new office space like Tony Stark.

Anyway, Osborne Industries has also collapsed, and the Osborne Industrial Area has been re-auctioned. It seems that there is no need for Storm Enterprises to be angry anymore, and it has to go toe-to-toe across the street from the Osborne Building.

"There's one more thing I think you need to know." Nick Frey paused for a moment and looked at Tony Stark and the others, "It's not just Storm who has been invaded and kidnapped, Miss Pepper Potts, but also Miss Jane Foster, who we have transferred, and Parker, your aunt, Miss May, who has been temporarily lost from her news. ”

Rumble!

Nick Fury's words exploded like a bomb in everyone's ears.

Especially Tony Stark, who almost subconsciously ran to Nick Fury's side, grabbed his collar in his hand, stared at him with a somewhat hideous face, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. Peter Parker's face was not much better than Tony Stark's, and his young face was almost pale.

As for Thor, his face was even more gloomy.

For Tony Stark, after his parents' car accident, there are only two people left who are most important to him and can't live without. One is called Obadi Stein and the other is Pepper Poz. But Obadi Stan betrayed him, and now the only thing that matters to Tony Stark is that pepper-like woman, Pepper Potts.

And after the death of his uncle Ben Parker, Peter Parker was left with only his aunt, who was busy working outside the home to raise money for his college tuition and living expenses.

Thor had mixed feelings, and even more anger at Loki, the younger brother who had done this. He was worried about his earthly lover, Jane Foster, and he was also thinking about how he would end up in the end. (To be continued......)
