Chapter 104: The Olive Branch of S.H.I.E.L.D
As a partner of a well-known law firm in the United States, Olmo's connections are indeed very strong, and the goal that Jean and Oloro failed to achieve with all their efforts was achieved by him.
While Jean anxiously waited for Raven's information, Olmo called her and claimed that the military had relented and allowed the staff of the Children's Rights Foundation to communicate face-to-face with the children.
Jean was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly: "Great, Lawyer Olmo, thank you." We'll come over right away, we'll see you later. ”
"Uh...... Jean, you didn't hear me clearly, what I said was that the staff of the Children's Rights Foundation were allowed to enter the nursing home and meet with the children, and that did not include any mutants. ”
"What? Why is this happening? Jean asked in surprise.
"Because...... Don't be angry, Jean. You know, the military has always been discriminatory against mutants, and they're worried that you're going to use force to snatch the kids away. Olmo flickered, apparently the military would not have been so polite.
"It's ridiculous! If we want to use force, we won't even think about going through the legal process! They are slandering us out of thin air! Jean exclaimed angrily.
"Of course I know, but you also have to understand that the military is mostly conservative, just like the stones in the pit, smelly and hard, and we really can't reason with them. Fortunately, we have made some progress from last time, so let's make sure that the children are safe first. What do you think? ”
Lawyer Olmo was kind enough to persuade on the phone.
Qin took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and said slowly, "Okay, that's all it takes." It's up to your friends. ”
"Don't worry, Qin, this is their job, and they are all mothers, and they are willing to do what they can for the rights and interests of their children."
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
Jean hung up the phone, rubbed her frowning brow, and briefly explained the situation to Ororo, and then the two of them anxiously waited for the results of the visit.
The good news came one after another, and they immediately received a message from "Raven", agreeing to meet them somewhere.
The two left the residence and drove to the agreed place, a remote café, and as soon as they pushed the door, they saw "Raven" sitting opposite someone drinking coffee.
Jean glanced at the man, and immediately recognized it, this person was black-headed, one-eyed, and distinctive, and it was clearly the famous director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury.
She didn't know what the S.H.I.E.L.D. people were trying to do, so she glanced at "Raven" with a puzzled look and signaled to ask.
"Looks like you know me, that's great, save me from introducing myself." Nick smiled and stood up to say hello.
"Director Fury's name is also known to everyone in the upper circles of the transcendent world."
Jean graciously reached out and shook Nick's hand, then sat down next to them with Oloro.
The waiter came over to serve coffee to the two of them, and after the waiter left, Jean took the initiative to ask, "I don't know if Director Fury came this time, do you have any advice?" ”
"Regarding the matter of X Academy, S.H.I.E.L.D. has the information you need." As Nick spoke, Natasha across from him reached out and handed over a folder.
Jean and Oloro looked at each other, thinking that Raven had joined S.H.I.E.L.D., and they weren't surprised.
Although the X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. are not affiliated with each other and have a very general relationship with each other, some people have joined the Avengers in their personal capacity, such as Wolverine Logan, so it is normal for "Raven" to become an Avenger.
Jean reached out and took the folder, and when she opened it, she saw that it contained information about the locations where Professor X and the others were being held.
As they expected, these people were being held in military bases, not in any sanatorium.
Oloro suddenly exclaimed, "Oops, since the children are not in the nursing home, then today's meeting ......"
"It's a trap!" Jean also reacted.
Jean quickly took out her mobile phone and called Lawyer Olmo, and as soon as the phone was connected, she hurriedly shouted:
"Lawyer Olmo, cancel today's meeting, today's meeting is a trap!"
"What? Jean, we've seen a kid who is sitting across from us right now......"
Before Olmo could finish his sentence, a roar suddenly came from the other end of the phone, followed by a loud explosion, and the signal was cut off.
"Damn it!" Jean hurriedly stood up, "We have to go and save people!" ”
Oloro was also in a hurry, but now in this situation, she was helpless.
"Where to go? They were taken away by the military, and they didn't tell us exactly where they were. ”
The two of them looked at Nick next to them.
"Give me a few minutes." Nick picked up the phone, called his subordinates, and after saying a few words, hung up the phone, stretched out his hand and signaled: "Sit down and wait first, you can't solve the problem in a hurry." ”
Fury's composure infected Jean and Oloro, and they sat down again and sincerely expressed their inner gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Director Fury, you've been of great help this time. And Raven, thanks to you. ”
Natasha smiled and said, "I'm Natasha Romanoff, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and it's nice to meet you. ”
Jean and Oloro's faces froze, only then did they realize that they had recognized the wrong person, their faces flushed, and they hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, Natasha, we thought ......"
Natasha shook her head with a smile and said, "Raven is that Hansen in the martial arts hall. If it weren't for you yesterday, I wouldn't have found out. It can only be said that the transformation ability of the demon girl is too exaggerated. ”
Hansen's information is real, and with the ability of S.H.I.E.L.D., according to these information, it is not difficult to find the real Hansen.
There can't be two Hansen in the world, and the demon girl is exposed.
Jean and Oloro looked at each other, they were very embarrassed, they had pitted their "good sisters" this time.
The Demon Girl is a wanted criminal in the Federation, although S.H.I.E.L.D. may not care about this matter, but with their understanding of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Demon Girl will inevitably be targeted and monitored.
Nick broke the awkward scene and asked, "Jean, Oloro, would you like to join the Avengers?" ”
They are all purposeful and determined veterans, and it is pointless to go around and around, and getting straight to the topic is the most appropriate way to communicate.
The two looked at each other, a little hesitant.
"The X-Men have always only intervened in mutant-related affairs, and have not intervened in the affairs of ordinary people."
"Director Fury, you also know that mutants have been ostracized, and if we are too active, it will inevitably cause more high-level people to be jealous, and the situation of mutants will be disadvantaged."
"yes, that's a pity." Nick sighed and said, "I understand your choice, but I still hope that mutants can also do more to deal with the crisis on Earth." ”
The phone rang, and Nick answered, saying, "Dr. Olmo is now in the Presbyterian Hospital. ”
Jean and Oloro hurriedly got up and took their leave.
"Thank you very much, Director Fury, we will remember this favor, you can call us if necessary, we can use our private capacity to help."
