Chapter 52: Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D
This night is destined to be remembered by countless people.
Not only because of the alien invasion, but also because their relatives, friends, and even colleagues who they had only met a few times were likely to have died in that war.
But now they don't have any time to mourn for those who have died.
Half of New York's buildings need to be blasted and rebuilt.
In particular, Brooklyn and Queens are the two most severely damaged districts, and it can be said that the main battlefield of that battle is in Brooklyn and Queens, as for the other areas, they just don't be affected.
Although in that battle, the other side was completely crushed.
But it still caused unparalleled damage.
Even Manhattan has been directly or indirectly damaged by Kara's attack on Zod, and the whole of New York City has become a battlefield for those aliens, nay, the gods.
The heavy atmosphere that surrounds every New Yorker is a sudden shock that makes it hard for everyone to believe that they are living in a real world.
The demon did not crawl out of the ground, but the god fell from the sky first.
What brings not salvation, not a better world, but war.
It is a war in which humanity is completely out of reach.
And the cruel aesthetics of the gods photographed by Eddie Bullock have become the front page headlines of many newspapers when they are typesetting.
However, none of these newspapers are New York-based newspapers.
Looking at the woman in the photo, some people's eyes are full of a crazy infatuation, and some people are full of hatred for that woman.
Similarly, after seeing the photo, some people could only helplessly put down the newspaper in their hands and rub their brows.
I hope to be able to relieve my headaches.
Nick Fury doesn't know what he's supposed to do anymore.
It is true that superhumans have always existed among normal people, but it is clear that this state is impossible to conceal in the past.
Not to mention that most of New York City is in ruins, even in Washington, D.C., which is still in shambles.
The White House, the National Mall in the United States, simply ceased to exist, and even the Capitol was damaged in Kara's battle with those Kryptonians.
New York.... Need to mention it?
The direct death toll has already exceeded the number of thousands, and this is the result of raising the alarm of a global nuclear war in advance.
Otherwise, there would be at least one more zero to be killed in New York City, at least 100,000.
As for the lost property, then there is no need to count it into nothing.
Anyway, I've been able to raise S.H.I.E.L.D. for a few years.
The things that followed became more and more bald, and now they had no idea why the characters who were obviously created by people appeared in the real world.
He was skeptical that there was someone in DC's editorial office who could turn his fantasies into reality, otherwise there would be no way to explain such a thing.
However, when they took full control of DC's editorial department, none of the shortcomings added to Superman and Kryptonian in the comics appeared.
Even some of the real objects that are drawn do not have the real world.
In other words, the DC editorial office they control has no effect at all, and they can't interfere with the war between Kara and the aliens at all.
Those guys just burst into their world so suddenly, when they were completely unprepared.
It took a lot of lives and changed everyone's world to a different place.
Although Nick Fury knew that this kind of thing was only a matter of time, and that those hidden superhumans, aliens, or whatever, or something else, would always be discovered.
It's just that Nick Furyco never imagined that those guys would appear in such a brutal scene and on such a grand scale.
The number of casualties will be so shocking.
"Director." Coulson also knocked lightly on Nick Fury's office door and called Nick Fury with some concern.
"Coulson." Nick Fury also took a deep breath and said to Coulson after letting himself fight a little bit of spirit.
To be honest, this kind of all-night work wasn't a problem for agents like them, but everything that happened last night was too tiring.
Even a well-trained agent could hardly maintain his high spirits at that time.
Nick Fury has been able to hold out until now that he is both physically and mentally strong, and as for why Coulson has been able to persevere, I think it is because this kind of all-night work is not a problem for Coulson.
"How's the battlefield going?" Nick Fury now hopes that his men will give him a satisfactory answer.
According to the kind of fighting style of Kara that they saw from the military satellite, bloody and brutal, then the battlefield must have been complicated.
Any angle, any piece of ruin, could be stained with Kryptonian blood.
With the physical strength of those guys, as long as they can get their blood, they will definitely be able to study a way to fight these Kryptonians, and even let humans have the same power as the gods of the world like those Kryptonians.
"Nope." Coulson shook his head.
The two words of conciseness and clarity have completely hit Nick Fury's mood to the bottom, but at the same time as the extreme depression, the backlash is even more violent.
"None? How could it not be? "Nick Fury came up with a bloodshot in one eye.
"There's not that in Washington, but what about New York? Isn't there one in New York? ”
"Nope." Coulson's tone was rather low when he said this.
When it comes to the battlefield in New York, no agent can calm his mind, even if they are guys who specialize in this kind of thing.
When I saw the terrain that had been completely changed, I was completely powerless.
This kind of monster, how can they fight against it, and what kind of so-called uniforms are there?
But even in that kind of battlefield, there is still no trace of Kryptonite.
Nick Fury also sat back in his office chair weakly.
At this moment, Coulson could clearly feel that his director seemed to have lost much energy. Gone are the days when I was holding on to that state.
Nick Fury knows best what Kara did yesterday after settling the battle, and all the Krypton fighters that fell on Earth, as well as the world engine, were all packed up and sent to the sun.
The only thing left was the Kryptonian spaceship that Kara had placed directly on Pluto.
But what kind of thing can they touch if they want to?
Even S.H.I.E.L.D. can't get to that place now. As for getting those guys in outer space to help, Nick Fury doesn't think those guys can beat Kara.
Nick Fury now really wants to give himself a stick and tell himself that everything is just his own illusion.
But that can't be done.
I can't wake up by the time I can't wake up, whether it's New York or Washington, D.C., it's already been restored.
That's impossible.
But now he is trying to calm himself down.
Nick Fury didn't ask anything more, just waved his hand to get Coulson out of his office.
"Director." Coulson spoke.
"What's wrong?" Nick Fury doesn't know why his love is called himself, but he thinks he has something to explain to himself.
"Tony Stark is here."
"Hmm. Well??? At first, Nick Fury only lightly said that he knew, but soon he realized who Coulson was talking about.
"Take him to the conference room!" Nick Fury also did what he said, and pulled his black trench coat directly from the hanger on the side and walked out of his office.
"I've already brought it." Coulson was also quite talking behind his own director.
Tony, who was in the S.H.I.E.L.D. office, was watching the TV news that was playing in the office.
"We don't know when our world will become like this, or when disaster will befall us."
"The guy who made the city what it is today just patted his ass and left, leaving a mess in his wake."
"We don't know anything about her, we don't know if she has any so-called kindness to us, and now she'd better take the consequences for all of this."
......
Tony listened quietly, for the first time in a long time he had watched the TV news so attentively and calmly.
It's just that his eyes didn't stay on the female reporter at this time, but just looked behind the female reporter, where there was a little girl covered in dust, looking for her toys in the ruins.
Or maybe the little girl wasn't looking for her toy, but her parents.
"And the photos taken by Eddie Bullock of the Clarion Daily have become everyone's attention."
Tony braced his face, his eyes fixed on the picture unfolding on the TV screen, the woman in the moonlight.
Thinking of the words of his current best friend, Tony also subconsciously touched the miniature ark reactor on his chest.
He used to think that this thing was a curse, but now it seems that this thing is not a curse, but a gift.
Heaven gave him to fight against this monster that does not take people seriously at all.
"I thought it was going to be you first." Nick Fury pushed the door open and said something like that.
"It's true that you found me first." Tony was still sitting in his place, not moving at all.
"What do you think of that one?" Naturally, Nick Fury doesn't care about these little things, just raises his chin towards the TV screen.
Tony turned his chair around at this time and turned his head to Nick Fury's one-eyed: "We need to cooperate." ”
He didn't say what he thought, just extended a cooperative hand to S.H.I.E.L.D.
"We need to work together, and we need more people." In this regard, Nick Fury naturally did not refuse.
