107 Agent Coulson
I returned to the office with my two homeless siblings and greeted them as soon as I entered the door. [][][]
"Mr. Eric, Agent Phil has been waiting for you for over an hour." The doorman smiled kindly at the two faces in the back, and then reminded, "It's not good to keep people waiting. ”
"You're right, Ben." Eric nodded. "I'm going to meet this venerable gentleman."
At Eric's behest, Ben takes the Maximov siblings to the students to help them settle them, while Eric goes to the reception room alone, where John and Alicent are accompanying the guests. They chatted casually, Mr. Detective was a guest and did not take advantage of the tutor's absence to spy on the students, John's mouth was also very strict, but Alicent was more curious, and kept pestering the visitors to interrogate them about what was interesting about their work.
Eric stood outside the door for a minute before pushing open the door to the meeting room, where the guest and the host met.
"Hello, Guardian of the Nation." Eric stretched out his hand and greeted the guest with a smile, his voice unhurried and his tone sincere and amiable.
Coulson was a restrained and undignified man, with the steadiness and peace of a family man, and when he saw his master return, he stood up and shook hands with each other. Although Eric's attitude can be described as enthusiastic, Coulson is used to seeing cold eyes, and he takes this as a superficial article for the time being.
"Hello, sir." He laughed at himself. "I'm just an agent, not a Guardian."
"Huh?" Eric looked surprised. "I thought you were a bunch of people who were willing to give, but you didn't really like your work?"
Coulson was a little embarrassed: "Well, that's right, I mean I'm happy to give for my country." ”
"I understand your feelings." Eric saw the agent's embarrassment and smiled and comforted him: "This society is not fair, and I am not referring here to its discrimination, but a kind of differential treatment rooted in the human heart, which is one of our worst natures." ”
"How?" Coulson relaxed. He was a little curious.
"For example, judging people by their appearance." Eric invited the gentleman to sit down and talked casually. "When people stand in front of two people and want to choose one of them as their best friend for life, most people will choose the brightly dressed one, and put aside the other one who is not amazing. They can certainly justify their actions by saying how good a person who values themselves is, but when they do, they lose the opportunity to understand a person's heart - like a mutant, like an agent. ”
"Makes sense." Coulson agreed. "People often want to end the conversation when they hear about my profession, but we don't mean it all. It's just working for the country. ”
"That's their shallowness. Just like many people like to watch a robbery on TV or an apocalyptic scene in a movie, as if they can substitute themselves into it and enjoy the scenery, but the length of TV or movies is often short-lived, and they can neither see the frustration of the former walking out of the bank door and being surrounded by police officers, nor can they guess the horror of a zombie hiding behind every door. Luckily, there are no people here who are easily fooled by the surface, so as soon as I heard the news of your visit, I put down a bit of a qiē and rushed back. Now, if there is anything I can do, please Mr. Coulson, if there is anything I can do. You'll see I'm happy to help. ”
Eric's attitude was not unkind, although Agent Coulson knew that this was a polite remark, and the two of them had a pleasant conversation.
The Agency for Strategic Defense, Attack and Logistics Support (BLS), abbreviated by its acronym, is an official military operations organization similar to the CIA, which is the U.S. government's response to the growing number of ordinary people. A special unit specially formed to engage with and manage Ability Heroes. The current commander is Maria. Hill, Director for Nick. Fury, both of these are high-ranking agents. Thanks to the passage of the Peace Act by Congress. Aegis also decided to reach out to representatives of the Mutant Academy and, if possible, invite Eric to meet in person as he sees fit. At that time, it will be received by Director Fury himself.
"That's a great idea, can I bring one or two students along?" Eric smiled in the affirmative. "You know, Phil, they're a bunch of lively children, and if it's convenient, I'd like to show them the world."
Coulson was overjoyed, that was one of the purposes of Aegis.
As a department that contacts ordinary humans, Aegis has an unknown congenital deficiency, and its own high-end power is surprisingly lacking, and without strength, it will not be respected, which is an invisible iron rule in the world of the capable. Because of the lack of high-end combat power, whether it is to carry out missions or communicate with other targets, it is a headache. Fury was desperate for the support of the Mutant Academy, and now that Eric offered to do that, it would be great.
As for inviting Eric himself to join Aegis, they have not yet reached a decision, in fact, the bureau has different opinions on this, Eric is not an ordinary person with no strength, Aegis has made a detailed analysis of his words and deeds, and believes that the risks of doing so outweigh the gains. After a person with the same strength and spirit as strong joins in, he is likely to be turned against him in the absence of checks and balances. But mutant students are different, even if they have no experience and lack of strength, it doesn't matter. Their age dictates that they have plenty of room to grow, and Aegis will be able to exert influence on these future people as they grow - not only with a group of mercenary warriors, but also with a group of their own powers.
Both Eric and Coulson understand this, but neither of them will say anything. Under the premise that both sides were willing to cooperate, the atmosphere of the conversation became more harmonious, and they quickly reached a preliminary consensus that in the future, the Academy and Aegis would communicate regularly and take as much unity as possible on matters related to mutants, and cooperate with each other with an attitude of mutual understanding, and this result was very satisfactory to both parties.
Sending Coulson away, Eric came to the students, originally because the other Magneto was out of trouble, Eric planned to send them back to the academy for a while, and since the trouble was temporarily solved, they could continue to stay as they wished.
Most of the students didn't know what was going on, but Eric didn't mention it, and they were happy to pretend they didn't know, and were diligently arranging accommodation for the new siblings.
Among the visitors from across the ocean, the younger brother Pietro is cheerful and handsome, and the elder sister Wanda also looks like a gentle and shy woman on the surface, although they are a few years older, they don't seem to be difficult to get along with, the boys pull the younger brother to listen to him talk about the bumpy past, by the way, compare their abilities, and the girls also surround their sister and take care of her like a weak princess, and soon they integrate into this small group.
After being disarmed, Pietro becomes more enthusiastic and lively, and Wanda seems to have let go of a layer of disguise to protect herself, and her amazing beauty gradually spreads out, attracting everyone. Inadvertently, as if sensing something, she looked out from afar, and at the end of the corridor, a man looked at her with a smile, his deep eyes bottomless.
After attending the celebratory dinner that welcomed the siblings, Eric went for a walk along the Hudson River, then found a gray-brown wooden bench and sat down on the side of the dark rock cliff on the riverbank, and soon a squirrel that had slipped into the lawn in search of food touched him, and he picked up the pine cone with both paws and gnawed it, and his big fluffy tail stood up, trembling slightly in the soft evening breeze, until a small thing with a faint silver light approached, and then frightened it away from Eric.
The little silver creature was the one that escaped from Doom's apartment, and after avoiding Lancer's pursuit, it followed its induction of Eric all the way north, crossing roads and rivers to return to its creator. Upon reaching his master's side, the silver body flickered and jumped into Eric's hand.
Eric held it, connecting the spirit with the weak soul magnetic field, and soon the Qiē born in Durm appeared in front of his eyes, he was not happy or worry-free about the change in Lancer, it was just a random chess piece, although it may produce great benefits in the future, but if there is a bad exhibition, it will not cause any impact. Compared to Doom, Lancer is the one who can't get rid of his control, as long as his body is still shaped by himself, and his soul is still dominated by the former Air Force captain, then nothing will change.
He has a way to bring it to its knees, it's just a matter of whether he's willing to do it or not.
Eric Mo held the ring on the tail finger of his left hand, and an invisible wave quietly dispersed around him, and soon the office building a mile away began to respond, and the deep power continued to descend from the magnetic world, and came to the body of the little thing according to his will, it fell quietly, trembled slightly for a while, and suddenly the silver light flashed, from the semi-solidified form into a misty smoke, across the wide river and drifted to the west side of the city with the invisible night wind.
This lonely soul is given a chance to return to its familiar steel body, silently accompany its unwitting relatives on the lawn of its home, and stand up to defend its wife and daughter when danger strikes in the future.
Since Lancer chose to listen to another voice in his heart and respond to his kindness with arrogance, it made him feel painful.
He will understand that the cruelest punishment in the world is not physical pain, but the substitution of another self, forever reduced to a wandering passerby.
Eric slowly opened his eyes, and the great power faded like a tide, and in the silent darkness by the river, his golden eyes flickered away. (To be continued!)
