Chapter 81: Meow Meow Hammer
Half an hour after hanging up, Coulson drove his antique car to Laura's seaside villa.
Seeing the living Captain America standing in front of him, the good old man was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
Steve saw his nervousness, and walked over to the car.
"You have a good taste in the car, and the maintenance is quite good, and I seem to think this car looks a little familiar?"
Coulson immediately put on an expression of "I'm not sleepy if you want to say this", and introduced with great interest:
"Captain, you have a really good memory. At the Stark World's Fair of Tomorrow in 1943, Howard Stark showed a conceptual half-finished product that you visited with Sgt. James Buchanan Barnes and two ladies. ”
“Bucky。。。”
Team America was reminded of that all-too-familiar name.
Seeing this, the little fan brother Coulson quickly diverted the topic.
"It's called Laura, and I've kept her very well maintained, with some minor improvements to the interior."
Steve's attention was drawn to him, but only because he felt the temperature around him rise again.
"Laura?"
The two of them, who sensed that something was wrong, turned their heads to see that Laura had already flown into the air at some point, and said with a red glow in her eyes and gritted her teeth.
Coulson is worthy of being the most valued subordinate of the black braised egg, and he immediately figured it out as soon as his mind turned, and hurriedly stopped in front of his car and explained:
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Her name is Lola, not Laura! ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a spot on the side of the hood.
Laura looked at it, and sure enough, there was a line of gilded small words "Lola", and then slowly descended back to the ground.
After this experience, Coulson's excitement finally calmed down a lot, and he first expressed his sincere gratitude to Laura, and then revealed his identity and purpose to Steve.
The captain had already learned that the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D. was the Strategic Science Corps where he once served, and his former lover Peggy Carter was still one of the founders, so he was still willing to go back after careful consideration, and after making a decision, he turned his head to look at the person who rescued him.
"You don't have to look at me, save you because it happened to happen, you just make your own decision."
When Steve heard this, he straightened up and saluted her.
"Laura, thank you! I will remember this kindness. ”
Coulson nodded to her as well, and then opened the co-pilot's door for the captain, and suddenly his phone rang.
"I'm sorry, it's the director's call, I have to answer it first."
Although he couldn't hear the call, the expression on Coulson's face could tell that the conversation was serious.
Ten minutes later, Coulson walked back with the phone and handed it to the captain.
The captain then talked on the phone for nearly ten minutes before handing the phone to Laura.
"Hey, Fury, what's the matter?"
Lu Dan didn't care about her impatient tone, and said without blushing and panting:
"I heard you studied archaeology and paleoculture? Just something is causing you to be bothered. ”
"Huh? What did you say? Be louder! Inaudible! ”
"After this is over, I can share with you the research results of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ultra-high-temperature resistant materials over the years."
"Okay, very sincere, deal. How can I help? Go ahead. ”
The next words of the braised eggs can really be described as thunderous and rolling.
A hammer falling from the sky appeared in New Mexico, and the vision attracted nearby citizens to watch, but so far no one has been able to pick up the small-looking hammer on the ground.
As soon as Laura heard it, she knew that it was an older middle god who was coming.
"Okay, I'll go with you, remember to reimburse the expenses."
After thinking about it, the data from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret research had already been used as trading chips, and it was not too much money, so he readily agreed.
The Pelican was still being upgraded, and Laura packed up her armor and some spare parts and medicines, and sat in the back seat of Lola.
Coulson's car can actually fly, he flew all the way when he heard the news of the American team before, but now the mission is not very urgent, so he used the normal car form to carry the three of them towards JFK International Airport.
Because Laura is a convertible, and the weather is good today, it is a sunny day, so Laura lazily leaned on the back seat the whole time to enjoy the warm sunshine, silently replenishing the energy in her body.
Coulson dutifully acted as a tour guide, introducing this and that to Steve who was about to return to society along the way, and the American team also turned into a good student, taking a notebook and a pen to Coulson, recording the information he felt was important.
A ready-to-use business jet was waiting at the airport, and the group took off soon after arriving.
When the three of them were on their way, S.H.I.E.L.D. was not idle, and a group of men in black quickly rushed to the place where the hammer was, drove away the melon-eating crowd that was watching and joining, and then established a closed separation line in this area.
That night, a black Chevrolet SUV pulled up in front of the gate of a makeshift research facility.
The soldier standing guard stepped forward to open the car door, and Coulson and the three men walked down one after another.
Taking the "Special Counsel's" badge and putting it on, Laura followed Steve through the door.
Led by a researcher, several people made their way through the long snake-like corridor to the center of the facility.
Seeing the boxy hammer on the mound, Laura finally confirmed that she was right.
Two researchers in hazmat suits were scanning with instruments in hand, unsure of what kind of data they could come up with.
The hammer head is made of the core of the declining planet, and the handle is made of a branch of the World Tree, forged by the dwarven master of Nidavi, who then inscribed Odin's blessing on it by Odin, the king of the gods of Asgard.
It can be said that this is an out-and-out artifact, but it's a pity that the conditions for use are very harsh, or the hammer is too arrogant, so few people can use its power.
Laura approached the hammer and looked closely at it, revealing that there were many inscriptions on the hammer, similar to the ancient Norse script in the historical records.
Coulson regained his image as a good old man, and asked with a smile:
"Laura, can you analyze the source of this thing?"
She straightened up, nodded, and pointed to a string of words on it:
"The meaning of this string of inscriptions is 'Whoever has the qualifications to lift the hammer of Thor, will receive the power of Thor', and with the performance that no one can lift it, I can be sure that this is the legendary Murnir --- the hammer of Thor."
