Chapter 45: Words Are More Powerful Than Fists
On Schiller's first day back in Marvel New York, Peter came to the clinic dejectedly, with a band hanging from his arm, Schiller looked him up and down, and said, "Your trip to the West doesn't seem to be going well." ”
Peter sighed, sat down across from Schiller, and put his bag on his lap, only to accidentally touch the injured arm, and he let out an "ah" and then sighed and said, "If nothing else, I might not really be a superhero." ”
"What's wrong? Got a tough opponent? ”
"The opponent is not difficult to deal with at all, but ......"
Next, in Peter's description, Schiller hears about his and Captain America's ridiculous trip to the West.
Steve is a veteran and has a lot of experience, but in the same way, as Captain America, the team members he has assigned in the past are also elite fighters, and they have long been tempered, even if they are recruits, they are not lacking in various combat skills, but they lack some actual combat experience.
But little spider Peter, he is now a blank slate, and he still relies on hooligan boxing techniques in fights, and his defense basically depends on physical fitness, not to mention any tactical literacy.
In order to exercise the little spider, Steve deliberately did not let S.H.I.E.L.D. arrange the itinerary, but set off with Peter himself.
The first trouble they encountered on this road trip was Peter's insatiable appetite.
The growth period of Peter's spider mutation has not yet passed, he needs to eat a lot of food every day, even if Steve is rich, but anyone who has watched some road movies knows that it is difficult to guarantee that you have a suitable place to eat every meal, and most of them just buy some quick food to carry in a backpack and bite twice when hungry.
But Peter was so good at eating that he had eaten everything they had in their backpacks before he could finish two meals, so they had to change their itinerary and go to the nearest town after taking the first train.
The price of goods in this town is not high, but Peter still eats thousands of dollars, credit cards are not accepted here, and the cash that Steve brought is quickly spent, so the road trip between the two of them has not yet begun, and this is the end of it.
Steve had to call Coulson to bring him the money, and in the end, it was S.H.I.E.L.D. that drove the two of them to their destination, solving Peter's meal problem by the way.
Since the last time Schiller took Spider-Man and Pikachu to loot S.H.I.E.L.D.'s food, they have urgently developed a new compressed dry food with a nutrient solution that can provide more energy than ordinary people need, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of all the restaurants along the way being emptied by Peter.
Once there, Steve began to scout the ninjas with the spiders, and although Peter learned a lot in the process, he messed up most of the things.
He has superhuman strength and resilience, but the only thing he has is that he talks a lot and moves a lot.
At first, when Peter didn't understand anything, it was okay, just obediently followed Steve's ass to see how he investigated the information, but then Peter learned a little, and his nerves and hyperactivity genes began to get sick again.
Peter learned a little bit of skill, so he felt that he could do better, Steve wanted to climb over the wall, he jumped on the wall, Steve wanted to get close to a security guard and knock him out, so he climbed straight over the roof, and then jumped in front of the security guard, said hello to him, and punched him in the face.
In short, two guys with completely different combat painting styles, without tacit cooperation, messed up all reconnaissance operations.
Fortunately, the group of ninjas seemed to be sure that no one would come to the desolate west, and their traces were fairly easy to find, and it didn't take long for Steve and Peter to find a small stronghold of theirs.
What happened next was even more speechless.
Originally, they were only going to deal with a few low-level ninjas, Steve estimated well, their trip was just a warm-up, although those ninjas jumped around, they would suddenly disappear, but they couldn't actually fight.
But the problem arises in this disappearance, Steve slashes a shield over, the ninja disappears, and behind it is Peter, who is trying to scare the ninja and make a grimace at him.
Hard shield "Bang! It struck Peter in the arm and broke his bones on the spot.
This is the first time in Captain America's life that he has fired at friendly troops, and the effect is quite outstanding.
"Steve told me that it would be better to deal with these enemies from behind, so I swung over the beams of the house, trying to sneak up on them from behind, but who knew that he would switch to a frontal attack again, I never knew that he was so powerful, I flew straight upside down and was slapped against the wall......"
"Those ninjas were knocked down by him in three or five strokes, but I was also knocked down by him in one fell swoop." Peter said a little pitifully.
Schiller couldn't hold back his laughter, and Peter said resentfully, "Laugh, laugh, I've been laughing with Coulson, Natasha, and Matt for days when I came back." ”
Schiller tried to hold back his laughter, and he comforted Peter: "Don't be sad, you should feel honored, the last time the person who was swept away by the captain's shield was the head of the hydra." ”
"I know I talk a lot, but I can't control myself, and I'm excited like this......"
"Maybe you've heard the saying, 'Sometimes, words are more powerful than fists.'" Schiller said.
After a while, Steve didn't come, but Natasha did, and the female agent said with a headache: "Stark went to talk to Director Nick about things, and he bumped into Steve who came back, and the two of them turned the sky upside down." ”
"Then what are you looking for me to do, I can't pull them away."
"The director has found someone to pull them away, but the problem now is that Steve keeps mentioning Stark's father, and Stark doesn't believe it, Steve is his father's old comrade-in-arms, Captain America."
"Or maybe he believed it, he just didn't want to admit it." Schiller said.
Natasha covered her forehead and said, "Anyway, as a senior psychological advisor of S.H.I.E.L.D., you have to come forward to mediate now......"
Natasha saw what Schiller wanted to refuse, and she said: "Listen, the current situation is like this, Iron Man and Captain America are arguing, and Director Nick wants to participate in mediation, but the two of them join forces to scold him." ”
"Coulson also wanted to go up and persuade him, but the three of them thought that Coulson was biased towards each other, Nick felt that Coulson should help him to persuade the conflict between the two people, Stark had long known that Coulson was a big fan of Captain America, and felt that he would definitely pull the fight, and Captain America felt that Coulson was a good person and should not be misunderstood by the other two parties......"
"To put it simply, the three parties insist on their own words and distrust each other, but there is really no more credible fourth party on the scene."
"Obviously, Nick wants both of them to join the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization, that's why this is the case, right?"
Natasha was a little surprised by Schiller's acuity, but she still said: "I think it's a plan that is good for everyone, after all, if two people go their separate ways, there will be a lot of problems, such as the ...... between Steve and Peter this time"
"But apparently, the failure of Steve and Peter's actions is Peter's problem, not Captain America's." Schiller said.
Peter's resentment deepened, and he said, "Hey, doctor, you just comforted me!" ”
Schiller said: "When it comes to persuasion, I have a better candidate. ”
As he spoke, he lifted Pikachu, who was sitting next to him, by the neck and threw him into Natasha's arms.
Natasha grabbed Pikachu's two little short hands and brought them up in front of her face and said, "I know you have a talking yellow-haired mouse, but what's the use of this?" It can't even beat Nick, the weakest of the three. ”
Schiller said: "Believe me, sometimes, words are more powerful than fists. ”
A few hours later, it was dark, and a loud "clang" sounded outside Schiller's clinic.
As soon as he opened the door, Steve, Stark, Coulson and Natasha were all there, Pikachu was held in his arms by Iron Man in battle armor, and Stark covered the mouth of the yellow-haired mouse with his hand.
Schiller opened the door, let a few people in, and said, "You'd better not get caught in what you're doing, Stark, or the animal protection group will go crazy." ”
"No animal protection organization will protect a rat like this!" Stark said, grabbing Pikachu's tail roughly and throwing it to Schiller.
Coulson looked like he was ten years older, and Natasha leaned against the door frame and said, "Doctor, you really have a very effective solution for us!" ”
She gritted her teeth at the words "very effective".
Schiller handed the phone to Pikachu to charge, and Steve sat down with his forehead covered and said, "God, I don't even know what just happened......"
"I thought Peter was the noisiest man in the world, but I didn't expect ......," he said, with a pained expression on his face, apparently the recent rounds of poison had made the good-natured Steve break down.
"He's the noisiest man in the world, because Pikachu is a mouse." Schiller said.
"It scolded everyone present with a swear word that I had never heard in my life, and Nick couldn't even find a chance to interject, and in a Canadian accent, he scolded S.H.I.E.L.D. from top to bottom, from Nick Fury's blindfold to the glass glass on his desk."
"He had been babbling for at least six hours, not a word repeated, and the walls of S.H.I.E.L.D. were almost carved with its voice......"
"I don't even know how he can fit so many words with such a small body!!" Coulson said in a trembling tone.
"We had to feed him in order to keep him shut, but it ate up the entire office for a month's worth of doughnuts and drank all the drinks in the juicer, and we all had to go into battle ourselves to stop it!"
"He also blew up four cell phones, and an Iron Man mech." "That also included Nick's high-security phone, which now has to go to the repair department to recover the data," Natasha said. ”
"But at least the persuasion works, doesn't it? When you join forces to catch it, do you feel the joy of unity? Schiller gloated.
Stark, who had suffered the most losses, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I can't imagine that I can talk to this old antique for half an hour on the topic of how to cook mice!" ”
"I think you know that I always say by now......"
"yes......" Steve spoke first, and then Stark looked at him, and the two of them saw sparks in their eyes, but they still said in unison, "Words are more powerful than fists!" ”
