Chapter 153: A New Mutant
Early the next morning, Ronan put on his small bag and continued to go to school like a nobody.
According to Phil Coulson, they S.H.I.E.L.D. will declare "responsible" for the capture of Winslow.
Although Ronan thinks it's no different from covering his ears and stealing the bell.
However, it is still necessary to cooperate with it.
Maybe the leaders of Hydra are really very simple, and they believe Phil Coulson's words.
When I arrived at school, Gwen Stacy was already waiting there.
She also had her own breakfast in her hand.
Anyway, Gwen Stacy might be the perfect type.
inherited not only the appearance of her parents, but also the gentle character of her mother.
Even, in terms of cooking, she has at least 80% of her mother's level.
At least that's the breakfast.
"By the way, last night, I heard from my father that the organization that spied on you last time appeared around your house again."
"Only this time, it looks like they're Hydra agents."
"Are you alright?"
While Ronan was having breakfast, Gwen Stacy recounted what she had heard the night before.
As the chief of police in New York City, let alone such a big thing, even if there is something going on in New York City, his father may know it clearly.
Not to mention S.H.I.E.L.D. arrests.
"It's okay, it's just that S.H.I.E.L.D. caught an agent of Hydra."
"I also saw the arrest scene."
Ronan swallowed a bite of his sandwich and replied.
If he wants to say that he doesn't know, it must be fake, after all, it is just across the street from his house.
"Did you say we misunderstood them in the first place?"
"Looking at those materials, they seem to be an organization of the state."
"Even several major powers are involved."
Gwen Stacy seemed to remember what had happened.
And Ronan pouted and misunderstood S.H.I.E.L.D.?
How to put it, maybe in some small things, S.H.I.E.L.D. can't take the blame.
However, most of the outrageous things are almost all done by them.
Thinking of this, Ronan glanced at the position more than a hundred meters behind him, where a black SUV was parked.
The most classic villain vehicle in American dramas.
The car had been following Ronan since he left the house, but it hadn't come closer.
As soon as Winslow was captured last night, they sent a new agent to follow Ronan.
It can be seen that they can get the news faster than the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.s!
Tut.
Should it be said that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secrecy rules are poor, or should it be said that Hydra's undercover agents are fast?
Anyway, these people are more wary than Winslow anyway.
Because they even deliberately overtook Ronan for a while, and then separated two streets, changed the license plate, and continued to follow Ronan.
If it weren't for Ronan's own small tricks to mark this car, I'm afraid he would really be deceived by them.
"By the way, my father gave me an invitation and said that there is a party tonight, do you want to participate?"
"It's said to be a very lavish party with several Hollywood stars."
"There even seems to be some special surprise."
Gwen Stacy seemed to think of something, and pulled an invitation out of her pocket.
Well?
Why is it so familiar?
Ronan looked at the invitation, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.
He pulled out another identical invitation from his bag.
"Huh?"
"Did you receive this invitation too?"
Gwen Stacy looked at Ronan in disbelief.
She got this invitation from her father, and it was precisely because George Stacy was the chief of the New York Police Department that she could get this invitation.
But how can Ronan have it too?
Could it be that his family background is better than Gwen Stacy thought?
"I didn't receive it, it was given to me by a friend."
Ronan looked at the invitation in his hand with a strange face.
Didn't Tony Stark say that this invitation is the kind of body that children are not allowed to enter?
How George Stacy also received.
Don't
Ronan suddenly thought of a very popular joke in his previous life.
The son-in-law went to the bathhouse to take a bath, and just after taking a bath, he found that his father-in-law had also come down from downstairs, and then settled the account together.
At the end of the checkout, people were stupid, and the two of them spent a total of 998 yuan.
It is known that the son-in-law spent a total of 98 even the ticket and the bath, what did the father-in-law do?
Ahem, cough, cough.
Thinking of this, Ronan took a deep breath.
"Since we all have invitations, why don't we go and have a look at them in the evening."
"Anyway, tomorrow is the weekend, so it's a weekend party, right?"
Ronan changed the subject without a trace, he didn't want the story of his son-in-law and father-in-law going to the bathhouse together to happen again.
But he also made a note of George Stacy in his heart.
"Okay, then we'll go and ask for leave tonight."
"Then I'll go home and change my clothes, and my father will give us a ride."
Gwen Stacy said with a smile.
That's what she thought, too.
"I don't have to send it, I can drive there, because after December last year, I will have passed the time when I have to be accompanied."
"So, I'll drive you up tonight."
Ronan took out his driver's license and shook it.
Although the United States allows 16-year-olds to take the driver's license test, they must be accompanied on the road for a year after receiving their license.
And after the passage of December, this rule is no longer available to Ronan.
It seems that the inexplicable past month can be regarded as a bit of a benefit.
"Alright, then I'll be waiting for you at home tonight!"
Gwen Stacy smiled and kissed Ronan, and then under the resentful gaze of countless single dogs, the two walked into the classroom together.
Another boring day of classes.
——
While Ronan was still in class for years, Steve Rogers on the other side, the atmosphere was completely different.
Last night, after a night of psychological struggle, Steve Rogers made a decision.
He would follow Ronan's instructions and tell the others about the amount he had taken back the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
However, he will not hand over the Cosmic Cube to the government for safekeeping.
The reason is simple.
Because Ronan has already said that the man named Thanos is extremely terrifying.
Even if a high-ranking member of the government takes the space gem and after many rounds of hiding, it may finally find a safe place.
However, those who have come into contact with the Space Gem will definitely die.
It's almost something that doesn't need to be thought about.
Since Thanos wants to fulfill his ambitions, there is almost no difference between one more person and one less person.
This kind of person, even if he's an alien, Steve Rogers knows a lot.
So, he started with an internal meeting.
There weren't many people who participated in the meeting, just three people.
Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Falcon, who has just joined the Avengers.
As the Falcon who helped Steve Rogers a lot in the last mission, he was also agreed to join the Avengers.
Become an Avenger.
How to say it, at least the equipment on his body can be justified and continue to wear.
Perhaps he doesn't know now that he will take Steve Rogers' shield and become the new Captain America.
"Guys, I thought about it all night last night, and I think there's something I need to make clear to you."
Seeing the three people sitting in the conference room, Steve Rogers took a deep breath.
According to Ronan, he can share some of the information with others, but the only thing he can't reveal is about the future.
Include Thanos' name.
"Captain, it's rare for you to be so serious."
Black Widow, who had just experienced life and death with Steve Rogers and had kissed several times, said with a smile.
If there is no in-depth communication between the two of them, Ronan doesn't believe it.
After all, everyone is an adult and is not married, so it is normal to relieve stress on the spur of the moment.
"You look like we're running by the lake."
What Falcon wanted to express was the kind of pressure that Steve Rogers brought to him.
After all, every time he is overtaken by Steve Rogers, he will say "on your left", who can withstand this?
This is the greatest mockery!
"Although I really want to joke with everyone, what I'm going to say next is not a joke."
Steve Rogers shook his head, no smile on his face.
Seeing him like this, the three people who were still smiling and grinning also changed their faces instantly.
There are probably very few things that can make Steve Rogers like this.
Boom.
Steve Rogers didn't rush to explain what was going on, but instead put a box on the table first.
He opened the box, then turned it around one hundred and eighty degrees, and showed the contents of the box to the others.
When they saw the contents of the box, Black Widow and Hawkeye were stunned at the same time.
Cosmic Rubik's Cube?
"Didn't this thing get taken away by Loki?"
"Why did you come back again?"
Hawkeye looked at Steve Rogers in disbelief.
At that time, Loki used the Cosmic Cube to escape, which was a situation that many people saw.
Since the events in New York, the Cosmic Cube has been marked as "lost" by S.H.I.E.L.D.
They searched for so long, but in the end there was no news.
Unexpectedly, today, Steve Rogers suddenly took it out.
"It's this troublesome thing again, why do I have a headache just by seeing it?"
Black Widow rubbed her temples, which she remembered fondly.
It is precisely because of it that mankind saw for the first time what aliens looked like.
"Wait, wait, wait."
"What the hell is this?"
"Why haven't I ever heard of it?"
The falcon on the side hurriedly asked.
This is the latest time he joined, and he didn't participate in the Battle of New York, so it's normal not to know about this thing.
However, Steve Rogers waved his hand.
"I'm not in a hurry to explain this, after all, this thing is not a good thing."
"What I want to tell you is that although the Cosmic Cube is back in our hands, trouble is also coming."
Steve Rogers thought back to what Ronan had taught him and polished it himself.
"Trouble?"
"It can't be some alien invasion, right?"
Black Widow frowned, she thought of aliens when she saw the Cosmic Cube now.
Even though she has been through a hundred battles, the aliens have encountered it once.
"You're right, but you're only half right."
"With the help of a friend, I found the Cosmic Cube last night, but at the same time learned bad news."
"There is a very powerful alien who has set his sights on the Cosmic Rubik's Cube."
"And, he will come to Earth, and the goal is the Cosmic Rubik's Cube!"
Steve Rogers told the most important part to these people.
Although he said it vaguely, it was all he could reveal.
"Friends?"
"What friend is so powerful?"
Black Widow was the first to ask.
"This friend doesn't want to reveal his identity, and you don't know each other."
"But what is certain is that the alien thing is very accurate."
Steve Rogers shook his head, he wouldn't reveal Ronan's identity.
"Then when will this alien arrive on Earth?"
"Do we need to fight right away?"
Although it is not yet known what the Cosmic Cube is, the Falcon seems to be a little excited to hear about the aliens.
He'd never fought an alien before, so he seemed a little eager to take the plunge.
However, Hawkeye and Black Widow were not as happy as he was.
"Time doesn't know yet, maybe years, maybe months, maybe tomorrow."
"But what I know for sure is that the alien will definitely arrive."
"Because. I see it! ”
Steve Rogers took a deep breath and said something that shocked the three people present.
Did he see it?
"Captain, you mean, you see the future?"
Hawkeye is a little incredible.
Although in those legends, there are many people who can see through the future, and even in some folk legends, people hundreds of years or thousands of years ago have predicted the current world.
But that's just legend.
And there are also artificially exaggerated, as well as over-interpreted parts.
And now, standing in front of them, Steve Rogers tells them that he sees the future?
"No, I don't see the future."
"I just saw some small fragments."
"The source, it is also this cosmic Rubik's Cube."
Steve Rogers, according to Ronan, shifted the blame to the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
On the Hydra side, since they can use the Mind Scepter to create two mutants, it is normal for the Cosmic Cube to be able to predict the future.
Anyway, they don't know what the Cosmic Cube is.
According to Ronan, since the news is to be made public unknowingly, the best way is to let Hydra know about it.
At least let Hydra know that the Cosmic Cube is in the hands of the Avengers.
The more people spread it, the higher the level of secrecy, and eventually the lie will become true.
Of course, Steve Rogers himself doesn't know about the latter part.
"Whew"
"I don't believe anyone can see the future, but."
"But if it's the captain, then I'm willing to believe it."
Hawkeye exhaled softly, he still believed in Steve Rogers' character.
At least, he had no reason to lie to them in this regard.
"So, what do we need to do now?"
"Hide the Cosmic Rubik's Cube well, and then actively prepare for war during this time, waiting for the arrival of that alien?"
Black Widow continued.
"The Cosmic Rubik's Cube must be hidden, and it is definitely necessary to actively prepare for war."
"It can be said that the next task of our Avengers is to protect the Cosmic Rubik's Cube."
"Even if it's with your own life!"
Steve Rogers' expression was serious, he had already decided.
For a soldier who has fought on the battlefield for so long, he naturally understands what this means.
Just as Ronan told him at the time.
It could cost him his life.
But Steve Rogers felt that if he lost his life to protect the planet, he would be able to get his wish.
Perhaps, he did not die in the glacier at that time, maybe God made him wait for this day.
"The reason I'm telling you is not to force you to come with me."
"Because I know, and you know, if we really want to protect this thing, then there is a very high chance that we will lose our lives."
"So, if anyone doesn't want to, they can leave now."
"Because then, we're going to get involved in something very secret."
Steve Rogers looked at the three people present.
These three people are already the three people with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Avengers.
Although the others are carefully selected, most of them can only do some peripheral work.
To really participate in the battle, it still depends on these few people.
"Captain, what you said is a bit redundant."
"We were on that ship, but it was like dead."
The falcon was the first to take a stand.
The reason why he joined the Avengers is not because of this name.
He wanted to fight alongside Steve Rogers.
"Then I'm even more so, you know, captain, I'm alone, and I have nothing to worry about."
Black Widow shrugged her shoulders and looked at Hawkeye.
Because she knew that among these people, only Hawkeye formed a family and even had children of her own.
It's just that these are things that outsiders don't know.
"Don't look at me, I was a warrior and I'm still a warrior."
Hawkeye shook his head, if he wanted to retire, then he would retire after S.H.I.E.L.D. disintegrated.
But he didn't choose to do that.
Looking at the three team members in front of him, Steve Rogers also had a smile on his face.
It was because of them that Steve Rogers felt that he had what it took to do it!
He took a deep breath and hid the smile from his face again.
"Okay, now that you've agreed, I hope you'll keep the rest a secret."
"Because this matter is related to a very important plan!"
——
Hydra.
In an underground base, Baron Straker, wearing a monocle in his right eye, is looking at the monitor with satisfaction.
Inside the monitor, there are two people, a man and a woman, who are doing some strange things in the cell.
The man moved around the cell at a speed that was simply incalculable.
From time to time, they would hit the walls of their cells and be forced to stop.
The other woman, on the other hand, sat quietly in her cell, fiddling with a toy in her hands.
Strangely, her hands did not touch the toy, but the toy slowly rose into the air within the range of her hands.
No matter which picture it is, it will be incomprehensible to normal people.
"Baron."
At this moment, a voice behind him interrupted Baron Straker.
"Dr. Lister, are the results out?"
Baron Strunk didn't look back, but looked at the monitor in front of him with a look of intoxication.
These are two of his most satisfying works.
Not one of them!
"The results of the experiment have come out, and the subjects who were injected with the blood of two people have all died without exception."
"And the way of dying is very weird."
"In a person who is injected with the blood of Pietro, within a few minutes, the cells of the body age at an extremely rapid rate and then eventually die."
"And the test subjects who were injected with Wanda's blood were not breathing at the first time of injection."
"We don't even have time to determine the cause of the death of those subjects."
Dr. Liszt briefed him on the contents of the experiment.
As for the results of the experiment, Baron Straker did not show the slightest surprise.
Because of this situation, they have seen it many times.
"What is the result of the new batch of reformers?"
Baron Straker asked about something else.
"Most of them failed."
Dr. Liszt said this, as if he had a deliberate pause.
Hearing this, Baron Straker, who was still very calm, suddenly turned around.
"What do you mean most of them have failed?"
He asked.
"There was one man who did not die, but lived."
"But he's also like an idiot without any sense."
"Only. Only "
At this point, Dr. Liszt seemed to be unable to continue.
"Only what?"
Baron Straker grabbed Dr. Liszt by the collar.
There seemed to be indescribable excitement in his eyes.
"Only when he sees a person does his eyes move with him."
"It looks like he's right on people. Very eager. ”
Dr. Liszt didn't know what he was talking about, because that was exactly what he was.
It was only when he saw a human being that the idiot stopped muttering and looked up.
The experimenter's eyes were fixed the whole time.
"Very hungry for people?"
Baron Straker dropped Dr. Liszt's collar, and he turned his head to look at the monitor, as if thoughtful.
And Dr. Liszt didn't dare to say much, just listened silently.
After a long time, Baron Straker finally spoke.
"Since he's interested in humans, give him a human!"
"I want to know what kind of abilities he can have!"
Dr. Liszt was ordered to go, and in this base, Baron Straker spoke no different from God.
As long as he wants to, there is nothing that cannot be done.
What's more, it's just a few lives.
Baron Straker looked up and looked at the monitor again.
"Captain America, Bruce Banner, Iron Man"
"and. The most mysterious of all, the Supreme Venerable. ”
"What would you do if you came across these works of mine?"
