18. How can Mason, the crumb who bullies the old man, deserve to be a partner in justice?
"Mason Cooper, what the hell are you going to do?"
At the overturning scene in the radiated desert, seeing that Hawkeye was forced to disarm, the old wolf Logan in the rear really had no intention of stepping forward desperately.
It's as if the Wolverine momentum that flashed away when he scolded his son just now just returned to the light, and he seemed to return to the posture of the old peasant.
He got up from the sand in embarrassment, looked at the junior from the other world who dared to have a friendly conversation with him half an hour ago, he shook his body and said in a dumb voice:
"If you let Clint go for that and take my life, I won't resist."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Mason couldn't understand Wolverine's brain circuits at this moment, he never said he wanted to hurt them, and he just reached out and asked for a ride in a friendly way.
It was Logan who wanted to kill him first, and he only made a small response.
Seeing that the old wolf had a resigned gesture of resignation, he pouted and said:
"I really just want you two to show me the way, and by the way, I'm interested in what you're transporting and the stories of the past you're deliberately hiding.
I'll fix your cars, resupply you, rearm you, and hit the road with you to where I'm going.
I have only one request.
You have to listen to me all the way, and I'll let you go when you get to your destination, Logan, and your family doesn't have to worry, they're all here. ”
He patted the suitcase at his feet and said:
"There's a miniature biome here, and a nice house with hot water and food, and I think it's better to let them stay here than in that shabby house that's full of radiation and could be revenged by the Hulks.
Anyway, don't you think about the revenge of the bastards when you get into trouble? It seems that you have really been out of the superhero career for too long, and even your vigilance has dropped like this.
No thanks, Logan.
This is a trivial thing that I should do for my idol as a 'wolf fan'. ”
"Hey, if the two old acquaintances are done chatting, can you explain the current situation to me?"
Hawkeye Clint, who maintained the "military salute of a certain country", said dissatisfiedly:
"Did you two know each other before? And what about this attack? ”
"You can ask him."
The Fenrir armor behind Mason was on guard under Dlaman's control, and he himself stepped forward to take out the five knives that Clint had hidden on his body and tossed them aside, and then removed the web-launcher that was ready to be thrown out of his left hand.
Even if these superheroes are old and blind, they will not be easy to deal with, and it seems that surrender is just looking for an opportunity for the Jedi to fight back.
After disarming Clint, Mason walked over to the overturned Spider and pulled out his toolbox to give the car an emergency repair that hadn't been maintained in seventeen years.
However, before he could do it, he found a lockbox that had fallen out of the storage box in the back of the car, which looked very sophisticated and completely out of place in this chaotic and brutal wasteland.
Just looking at its simple silver-gray appearance, it looks like a product of pre-war technology.
Mason was immediately interested, and reached out to pick up the box and put it in front of him.
"Don't touch it!"
Clint, who walked over and picked up the old wolf, moved his ears.
Although his eyes are useless, he seems to have "awakened" his incredible abilities again, and when he realizes that Mason is about to open the lockbox, Hawkeye suddenly becomes irritable.
He said:
"That's our cargo! Must be delivered to Neobabylon on time. ”
"I know, the rebels of this world, right?"
Mason didn't look back and said:
"I've heard all of your conversations in the house, and I think Logan had the right hunch on this matter, and you'd better not try to complete this journey that sounds like a lot of trouble."
"I said, don't touch it!"
Clint angrily stepped forward to stop him, but the old wolf grabbed his wrist, and the scarlet floating cannon that had popped out of the power armor not far away was locking on to the two of them.
Although he didn't know much about Mason, Logan Sr. was sure that if Hawkeye made another attack, his "junior" who spoke and acted softly might really open fire.
The two bad old men who are no longer brave can do nothing but the power armor in front of them, not to mention that Logan knows that Mason also has a team of "flyer" bodyguards.
Under Logan's soft persuasion, Hawkeye struggled to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and when he heard the mechanical sound of Mason trying to open the lockbox, Clint snorted and said:
"Don't try it, it's encrypted with the encryptor Reed left behind, and no one in this world can open it unless there's a matching key.
Let's talk openly and honestly, your name is Mason, right?
What exactly do you want to do? ”
"I said before, I just want a ride."
Mason tried a few times, and sure enough, he couldn't easily open the legendary combination lock in front of him, but he didn't care, he had time to study this thing along the way.
Engineering puzzles and so on, it's a great way to pass the time.
He first put the lockbox in his bag, then manipulated the Fenrir armor to lift the spider car, and while he quickly drilled under the car to repair and repair the car, replacing the necessary components for the car, he replied to the strange gaze of the "bald wolf" and "downcast eagle":
"You're going to Neobabylon, I've just looked at the map, and it's not far from the ruins of Xavier Academy, and we happen to be on the same road. Also, Clint, is your eye blindness caused by glaucoma? ”
"So what?"
Hawkeye didn't have a good impression of this robbing thief at all, but now that the form is stronger than people, he didn't provoke anymore, but just said casually unhappily.
As a result, in the next moment, Mason, who was dismantling the damaged territory of the spider car, threw over a bottle of delicate-looking potion, which was accurately clasped in his hand by the eagle eye, who was about to be blinded.
"Drink it, it's good for your eyes, I'll show you after we get on the road in a while, this disease can only be cured in the later stage.
But luckily, I brought enough material with me. ”
"Very professional throwing technique, should be a shooter-type guy."
Hawkeye focused on Mason's technique of throwing the medicine bottle just now, this guy threw it by throwing darts, and the strength was not bad, but it was absolutely impossible for him to drink the medicine given by a stranger.
Although the old hero is down, he should have no less vigilance.
"Mason, we've reached the nearest city to the north, this should be San Francisco, but the whole city has been destroyed, three Kryptonians have searched, and there are basically no living people here."
While Mason repairs the Spider Car, Batgirl's voice rings through the team's comms, and she reports:
"Hallie and I will stay and wait for you, the others will continue to explore north, the good news is that the further north you go, the less radiation concentration there is, and we even see plants.
But the bad news is that there aren't many people left in this world.
The main body of its civilization has completely collapsed, and it is worse than the Caribbean world at the time of the shock, and it seems that the great shift of seventeen years ago has indeed hollowed out this world. ”
"That's a good thing, it means we don't need to think about saving civilization, we can finally get back to it."
Mason replied:
"You guys rest there first, and our 'new friend' and I will be over right away, and at the speed of this spider car, it may only take a few hours to get there before midnight.
Speaking of which, are the new players doing well?
Barbara, give them a score. ”
"Well, it's your job, Mason, you're giving me the job, you're such a stinky brother."
The adoptive sister Barbara complained quietly, then took a few seconds to think about it, and replied:
"The best performer is, of course, Zod, a Kryptonian who can take his own responsibilities like a good soldier and supervise his companions.
But his problem is that he only believes in you.
He'll listen to me, but I can feel he's scrutinizing me and not sure if I'm credible, maybe it has something to do with his previous experience, but it's not a big deal, and I'm sure he'll fit into Team K soon.
A few others fared a little worse.
The blue beetle is the quintessential young man, and he still sees the operation as an armed parade. Firestorm is slightly better because of Professor Stein's guidance, but Jakes has a strong rebellious mentality.
He would deliberately provoke me, and then I would lecture him like a weakened version of Damian.
The worst performer was Carla Eyre. ”
Barbara sighed and said:
She still stubbornly thinks that we deceived her and made her unable to be a righteous partner, so she is holding her breath in her heart, but she has been taught very well by Dachao.
She knew we were a team at the moment, so we didn't do anything dangerous, and I noticed that she was the most serious at gathering intelligence.
She is observing this strange world with her own eyes and drawing her own conclusions.
Bizarro is not to mention, he is playing well with Harley now, and Harley can use candy to direct him to do a lot of things, it is hard to imagine that Lord Paplov's taming skills are actually shining in this field.
Aside from his lack of intelligence leading to clumsiness and inconsequentiality, and the fact that it is difficult to understand what he means by always talking back, Bizarro is almost an 'ace player'. ”
"It was exactly the same as I expected, but it started well, and it didn't make a fuss about running away as soon as I entered this world."
Mason put down his engineering wrench, loaded a delicate component into the chassis of the Batmobile, and got up and opened the hood to turn off the car's energy system.
He said to Barbara:
"Keep watching, keep giving them instructions.
The dangerous difficulty of this world can be used as a 'rehearsal' for Kryptonians, who are almost never mortally threatened in this withered world.
But my guess is that things might be different once we get into Neo-Babylon, and it's better to put them into serious mode before then. ”
"You make me feel like a babysitter, and that's what Grayson should do."
Barbara Says:
"I don't have that much patience to play with them, come over quickly, Harley can't see that you're starting to get irritable, that's it, contact in case of trouble."
The communication hung up, and Mason also breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to the old wolf who was sitting on the side of the road and whispered:
"Hey, Logan, take a handle and remove this thing, it's a terrible thing to give this car to Clint, look at how old this engine is, if it can speak, it will be time to jump to your feet and scold Clint for not speaking martial arts."
"I want to fix it too."
Hawkeye retorted:
"But my eyes tell me I can't do that delicate job."
Old Logan didn't refuse, he stepped forward to help hold the dismantled engine, and the heavy thing between his hands was easily lifted and thrown aside.
Mason watched this scene, and while taking out the disposable ark reactor and the supporting energy output equipment, he whispered to the old wolf who clapped the oil stains on his hands:
"Your strength is obviously not weakened, even if you don't have steel claws, beating a few children of the Hulk is the same as playing, why do you want to endure to that extent?"
Faced with Mason's question, the old wolf hesitated for a moment and said:
"I will not use force against anyone again, that is the vow I made in front of Vanessa after I was rescued by her, I just want to live peacefully until I die of old age."
"You're saying that Wolverine is going to be a pacifist when he gets old?"
Mason snorted, and as he tightened the bolt, he whispered:
"It's definitely the funniest joke I've heard since I turned eighteen, war runs through your veins, Logan, you want to live peacefully, have you asked Wolverine for his opinion?"
"Wolverine is dead! How many times do you want me to repeat this? ”
The old wolf became furious, snatched the cigarette case that Mason had kept in his hand, and turned back to the old man.
A few minutes later, Mason tuned the new engine, and the overhauled Spider Car erupted into a powerful roar in the desert.
He sat in the driver's seat, honked the newly changed horn, and shouted to Logan and Clint, who were squatting on the side of the road, smoking cigarettes and chatting like two old men:
"Get in the car, it's time for us to go, my guys have set up a little camp in the ruins of San Francisco, we need to get there by midnight."
"Let's go."
The bald old wolf threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and got into the car with Eagle Eye, Mason sat in the back seat and released several drones to cruise around to reconnoitre, and the group of three people got back on the road and galloped all the way in the vast desert.
The temperature dropped a bit at night, and Mason and Logan were okay to say that Clint, who was already an old man, was obviously a little unbearable and kept sneezing.
Mason pulled out a bottle of liquor and handed it to him, and this time Hawkeye didn't refuse, he took a sip of wine to warm himself up, and let Mason help him check his completely broken eye.
"It's a tricky situation, you're not telling the truth."
Mason looked at the completely gray eyeball with his medical gloves and said:
"It's not just glaucoma, you've been poisoned, right?"
"I don't believe you when you say you're a doctor."
Clint didn't care, he took a sip of his wine and handed the bottle to Logan, who was driving, drunk driving has always been a serious problem, but no one cares about them in this apocalyptic desert right now.
The Downcast Eagle leaned back in his seat, he let out a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and said:
"Seventeen years ago, during the attack and defense of the Three-Wing Mansion, I shot an arrow through Zemo's head, but Lady Hydra's poison also fell on me.
It hurts, and it still hurts when I think about it now.
Daredevil saved me, I lay for six months in the temple where he chose to become a monk, and I lived, at the cost of losing my eye, Hawkeye?
Hey, old yellow calendar.
But Matt is still quite righteous, before he died of injury, he taught me to use voice instead of sight, so that my old bone can live peacefully until now, what are you doing? ”
He felt Mason take out something very sharp, and immediately said vigilantly:
"You're going to operate on me here?"
"No, just extract a little bit of your genes."
Mason pulled out a very sophisticated biological device with the logo of the company on it, and he used a special extraction device to remove a sample from Hawkeye's eyeball and put it in it, and the device immediately became operational.
He shoved it into Hawkeye's hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"Your eyes are gone, but a new one might be better. You've got what I've given you, and it can clone a pair of biomimetic eyeballs genetically generated by you in six hours.
When we get to the place, let my team members give you a 'little surgery', and it will be regarded as an apology for the bad things I did to you just now."
We still have to go all the way, I don't want a marksman to be upset with me, cold arrows from behind are always more dangerous than bullets in front of me.
Logan, do you need me to heal you?
You obviously suffer from some kind of severe psychological traumatic sequelae, my girlfriend is an expert in this area, do you want me to help you register? We have a relationship, we can give you a discount. ”
