Chapter 112: An Unquiet Night
How easy is it for a mage to live several worlds?
Such a concept directly left Rogers speechless, but he was not a fool.
Although he may have been a little stupid before, after receiving the super soldier transformation, it is not only his body that has been strengthened, but also his intelligence and senses have been strengthened to a considerable extent.
He immediately guessed a few things, that is, although a magician can live for a long time, the conditions for becoming a magician are very harsh.
Otherwise, the whole world would not be ruled by magicians? And the other thing is that Howard is very likely to be a magician too!
Otherwise, he obviously learned the information that Howard died in the assassination, but now he is told that Howard is not dead, then there is no other explanation except that Howard is also a magician.
I'm afraid that only people with special abilities can escape an assassination.
"You mean, Howard is also a magician?"
"Yes, that's right."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't tell me this, only told me that Howard was assassinated, because they didn't think Howard could be trusted?"
"That's pretty much it, those guys are always self-righteous."
Josh spread his hands, and he couldn't understand why S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't generously tell the story that Howard was still alive.
But after thinking about it, Josh thought about it, the eighth floor felt that Howard and Rogers had a close relationship, and the ghost knew if Rogers would be abducted by Howard.
And when they Fury faced himself and the behemoth of the Covert Alliance, he definitely wanted to recruit some talents who could be used to fight against this organization.
And Captain America is clearly his best choice, as Rogers' past style and loyalty to his country are impeccable.
As for the future when Rogers found out that Howard was still alive, it may be that in Fury's plan, all this will have to wait until Rogers has seen the organization of the Hidden Alliance with his own eyes, and plans to tell the truth.
It's a pity that Josh suddenly appeared in advance, and they met by chance.
"This can say that your braised egg head is too weak, since you met me."
Thinking about it silently, Josh also showed some smiles, and it was quite fun to block Fury's arrogant guy every day.
Of course, when this guy becomes unfun and even blocks Josh, I'm afraid Josh will not hesitate to wipe out the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., anyway, that thing is already entangled with Hydra.
"Are you also being monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. because of the mage?"
"Well, almost. The main thing is that I let them see some things that they shouldn't have seen, and of course, I let them see some of these things so that they only dare to spy on us, and even if I attack them, they can only swallow their anger. ”
Josh smiled, whether it was Price beating people up, or now that he was openly stuning the agents, Josh believed that Fury would not dare to do anything.
At most, another group of people will come over, even if he really kills Fury, he will only dare to come to the door to negotiate, Josh doesn't want to give face to this kind of person.
"Okay, I see. But I don't dare attack them like you."
Rogers sighed, he also lacked a good opinion of S.H.I.E.L.D., of course, the main reason was Fury's guy.
I have to say that Fury is indeed an important core figure in the early stage of the entire Marvel Universe, but some of the actions of this product are also too disgusting.
If you think about it, in fact, all superheroes in the Marvel Universe are not guys with strong character enough to satisfy everyone.
Their definition has always been to be a 'person' to a 'superhero', even if it's Thor.
Rogers' words are actually quite controversial, and there are quite a few people who like him and hate him.
People who hate him say that he is unruly or something, while those who like him will say that he puts the justice of the people first.
And Tony is also a virtue, and his ability to attract hatred is comparable to his mouth.
What made Ultron, what was almost slaughtered by Thor, and what did he sign an agreement privately, etc., anyway, there are a lot of black spots, and there are many people who like him and those who hate him.
But so what? Josh doesn't think there's any more mess going on in the world.
And in Josh's expectations, it is time for the Covert Alliance to show its fangs, although the Covert is a Covert, but Josh is not a diver, and it is time to show his muscles.
Just as they were chatting about whether they were hitchhiking, a luxurious Lincoln car drove up not far away.
Josh noticed the car immediately, and what was even more interesting was that it was actually Logan who was driving, and it seemed that this guy was indeed driving his own taxi while learning from Galen.
"Hey Josh, you're back? Oh, hello Natasha. ”
"Long time no see, Professor. And the beautiful Ms. Natasha. ”
Tony and Howard got out of the car at the same time and walked over, and Logan now found a spot to park the car before swinging slowly.
He didn't really want to go near here at all, because the woman who had beaten him up was sitting here, and if he hadn't seen Josh and Laura, he might have been in the car.
"Howard, and little Tony, it's been a long time."
"Hell, can you please not put a little in front of my name? I look a lot older than you! ”
Tony was choked by Josh's words as soon as he walked by, and although he felt that Josh didn't have a problem calling him like that, he did have a lot more than Josh looked.
To be called that by someone who looked incredibly young, Tony felt really humiliating.
After a casual glance, Tony suddenly noticed that there was a stranger sitting across from Josh, so he asked curiously, "Professor, who is this?" ”
"This? Howard, don't you recognize it? Josh didn't answer, but turned his head and looked at Howard, who was a little stunned, with a smile.
"Steve? Damn it! Steve? It's you! Howard had some doubts before, but now he was almost sure that this person was his former friend, the Captain America Steve Rogers.
"You got it out of the ice?"
"You know I'm not dead?"
"Of course, don't forget that I also participated in the potion enhancement program. It's just that everyone thought you were dead at the time, and I couldn't pinpoint where you had fallen, so I had to wait for you to crawl out on your own. ”
Howard blew without blushing at all, he had no idea that Steve was still alive at the time.
It wasn't until later that he learned from Josh that his former friend was not dead at all, but at that time he had 'faked' out of the Marvel Universe, so naturally he had no way to poach people.
"I see, but don't you look too young now?"
"Say it as if you're not!"
"I said, can you two stop, this old guy is your friend?"
Tony looked at the two of them talking cordially with a confused expression, he didn't recognize who the young man in front of him was, could it be that Howard was still a friend?
It's a pity that he really guessed correctly, Howard glared at Tony before slowly saying, "This is Steve Rogers." That is, your comics Captain America, who is also my friend. ”
"Roar Richet! Another old immortal? Oh, sorry professor, I didn't mean you, me"
Josh didn't give Tony any chance to explain at all, and Josh had already replaced the space around him when he first communicated with Rogers, otherwise the conversation between the two of them would be too shocking.
And Tony's sassy is coming, and the eighth floor will attract a lot of attention, Josh doesn't want to be so high-profile in front of ordinary people - temporarily.
After Josh asked Tony to try what is called the 'Earth Escape Heart Decapitation Technique', Josh suddenly felt much more comfortable.
Howard glanced at Tony lightly, without any intention of asking for mercy at all, and turned around and continued to chat with Rogers.
"By the way, Steve, this guy is my son."
"I know, I've seen about you on the news. Also, why didn't you tell me that you were a magician? ”
"Come on, how can such a thing be spread casually? And we have our own rules, and I can't break them, can I? And, you think I'm telling everyone I'm a magician, I'm afraid"
"Okay, I get Howard."
Watching the two of them chat, Josh suddenly felt a little interesting, although Howard may not really think of Rogers as a friend at first, but later he may have had a little affection.
And now, almost everyone who was with Howard back then is almost dead, and Rogers' sudden appearance also gives Howard a little bit of a sense of the past.
Especially when Rogers looks so young, it makes Howard seem to go back so many years.
This small talk took a lot of time, during which Josh also noticed Coulson running over, but unfortunately because of Josh's magic, he couldn't find Josh and the others at all, so he had no choice but to go back.
We found a place to eat something, and it was already dark.
Rogers declined Howard's invitation to return to his rented house, and Tony originally wanted to go to church with him, but after thinking about it, he forgot about it, and Howard chose to go back to church.
But Josh didn't know that the church was now in chaos, because the Ancient One mage had detected a person coming to Earth, but they hadn't had time to deal with another incident in the church, and they had to distract her.
As for the guy who came to Earth, he went directly to S.H.I.E.L.D. Tonight is not destined to be a quiet night.
