The exchange of interests between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the U.S. government and military was barely maintained because of the unexpected interference of Ochs in the presidential election.

With Loki's invasion, the accident of Project Pegasus, the revelation of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s true intentions, and the tragic events of the Battle of New York, the relationship between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the U.S. government has deteriorated dramatically.

If it weren't for the fact that Nick Fury was the initiator of the Avengers program, and that it was actually the World Security Council that ultimately ordered the nuclear bomb to be launched, the U.S. government would have even been prepared to limit S.H.I.E.L.D.'s privileges on its home soil.

In fact, the Board was ready to blame Nick Fury for the matter, killing him by the way, and even trying to turn against Agent Hill by asking her to testify against Nick Fury.

However, after Agent Hill played a trick on them, he showed a recording of the council's call.

That's why Nick Fury was reinstated in just one month.

The restart of the Pegasus Project was actually ordered by the Board of Directors.

But the Avengers program was also approved by them, although it was later scrapped.

In short, the presence of the Council is still indispensable, and thanks to the presence of Oakes and the Humane Society, the number of casualties in the Battle of New York was actually much smaller than expected.

Therefore, under the game of interests of all parties, this matter finally ended with the resignation of Gideon Malik, who personally ordered it-

At the end of the day, it's all the aliens' fault.

However, Nick Fury took the opportunity to stuff Pierce, his "own man," into the vacant seat on the board.

Oakes, the earthling who was personally invited to Asgard by Thor, can be said to be the person who has the most effective information about aliens.

At the same time, Oakes' other ability, the powerful healing ability that can restore the dying Coulson in just a few seconds, makes everyone keep the tone of his actions on the same -

"Coulson, thank you."

Nick Fury, the slut, began to play the emotional card:

"But after he came out of the hospital, you were already on your way to Asgard, and he didn't have time to thank you in person."

"Where is he now?"

Oakes raised an eyebrow, this "template for an American agent" was spared death, and so many weird things should not have happened to him.

"His performance allowed him to lead an elite field team on his own, and Melinda was his partner."

Nick Fury had a smile on his face, Oakes, this guy is emotional:

"I have to say that your experience with you has helped Melinda recover very quickly, and now she is active again as a field agent.

There are still many threats in the world, and mortal agents have to keep an eye on places that superheroes can't take care of. ”

"Okay, I can invite them to the rainforest barbecue and oxygen bar when they're on vacation."

Oakes cocked Erlang's legs, and Skull and Hattie tilted their heads left and right to stare at Nick Fury, so that he couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth.

"Asgard will not be a threat for the time being, at least I have the title of 'Oak Sage' in Asgard, which is common to the Nine Realms, and I am also their royal advisor."

Oakes spread his hands:

"And I did Odin a big favor, and I invited his eldest son to come to Las Vegas for a party."

"Las Vegas?"

Nick Fury was stunned:

"Does Thor, this guy like to party? I thought he would just love fist-to-flesh dueling matches. ”

"No, it's his brother."

Oakes smiled gloatingly:

"Odin's true eldest son, Thor's elder brother, Badr, the god of light, I did Odin a great favor by saving this Badr Odinson from his near-death state."

"What!"

Nick Fury couldn't sit still, and Odin had another son? Or the eldest son?

He thought of the throne of Asgard almost immediately......

"So, they shouldn't be able to pay attention to us now?"

Nick Fury took a deep breath and calmed down.

"For the time being, so...... What are you going to do? ”

Oakes waved his hand:

"Don't talk to me about confidentiality, division management and all that kind of nonsense, I'm such a nice person, it's so disappointing to tell me these things that I don't know how to share—

Maybe I won't share it anymore. ”

“…… Because of the New York incident, we have discovered a lot of potential threats that could have been avoided if they had been detected in advance. ”

Nick Fury changed his sitting position and pinched his chin with one hand:

"So I persuaded the World Security Council to overhaul threat analysis techniques so that threats can be detected before they arise, so that they can be dealt with or anticipated quickly.

We can't fall behind every time, we have to take the initiative. ”

"You brought it up?"

Oakes raised an eyebrow:

"Is it just threat analysis?"

“…… Of course, there are follow-ups, but there is no real implementation yet. ”

Nick Fury was silent for a moment and nodded slightly:

"S.H.I.E.L.D. sees the world realistically, not idealized.

This had been foreshadowed before, but it wasn't until something happened in New York that we were able to elevate it to the highest priority. ”

Oakes nodded slowly, and this was the beginning of Project Insight.

"'Don't trust anyone,' that's your style, so I'm sure that's not the whole story, you've got a plan to implement it."

Oakes looked at Nick Fury's expressionless face and snorted as if unintentionally:

"Since you can't break this habit, will you trust your subordinates, your bosses, your ...... Old friends, or even yourself? ”

“…… The captain hadn't come out of the past, even with Ms. Carter by his side. ”

Nick Fury did not answer Oakes' question, he mentioned another thing:

"You just said you rescued Thor's brother Badr from a near-death state, so is there anything you can do with Ms. Carter?"

After a pause, Nick Fury calmly squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth:

"This old-timer is the only person I can fully trust at the moment."

“…… I am a druid, my strength comes from nature, and I can't do something that goes against the laws of nature to prolong my life. ”

Oakes unconsciously tapped the five fingers of one hand on the armrest of the rattan chair, and the other hand supported his chin:

"But now that I can get Ms. Carter out of the rainforest, Steve will pick her up and take her to their own house.

She still has some time, and whether she will help you or not, she has the final say. ”

Nick Fury nodded silently and let out a long breath:

"One last thing, outside of New York, there is a behemoth that can't be seen—

If I hadn't known that you would have returned to Earth at this time, I would have approved the missile launch order. ”

"That's the new headquarters of the Benevolence, my ark, Odin paid me."

Oakes didn't think that he could hide it from S.H.I.E.L.D., the Greyhound can be optically invisible, it can be infrared invisible, but there is no radar invisibility for the time being, and Tony is working on a transformation plan in this regard.

“…… Got it. ”

Nick Fury stood up, turned and walked out:

"Does it have a name? It is necessary to prepare for the identification of eucalyptus. ”

"Nature's Guardian."

A smile appeared on Oakes' face, since it was in his hands, even the nature of magic power had changed, so he naturally had a new name.

"After the modification is completed, it will be suspended over the high seas for a long time, and it will have no weapons system."

Watching Nick Fury disappear into the doorway, Oakes looked up at the sky.

The Guardian of Nature has no weapons, but it's a powerful balancing spell amplifier!

"Insight into the Aircraft Carrier...... Hum! ”
