Chapter 26: Invitations
Following.
Construction machinery of all sizes is busy around the Sanquyi Building.
Ryan also made his first visit to the base under the headquarters.
"The doctor said you were recovering well."
"Hmm."
"Losing Mjolnir is a loss."
"It didn't belong to us in the first place."
Coulson smiled, "It's good that you can think like that, and I don't think you can't accept the gap." ”
"If there is no hope, there will be no disappointment. I didn't think Mjolnir would belong to me from the beginning. ”
"It's not the first time I've heard you say that, but now I'm completely sure you're not lying. But seriously, aren't you disappointed at all? ”
Ryan thought for a moment and nodded, "There are still some." ”
Coulson bowed: "This is like a normal person." ”
"But my disappointment is not that I lost Thor's hammer, but that I didn't gain completely my own supernatural power because of Thor's hammer."
"Huh?" Coulson was surprised, "You still think like that?" ”
Ryan chuckled: "That's normal, haven't you read DC's comics?" A poor person like me can't rely on technology to enhance his abilities like Batman, so he can only hope that he will be able to mutate one day. ”
Coulson couldn't help but laugh when he heard the teasing.
"Actually, we have a more realistic example."
"Well, now the whole world knows Iron Man."
Tony...... He is not an easy person to get along with, so be careful if your mission is related to him in the future. ”
It's an office located in the underground base, but it's only on the basement level, so Ryan doesn't see the Helicarrier.
The two chatted for a moment, and there was a knock on the door.
Ryan got up and opened the door.
"Sir."
Hill walked into the room with a smile on her face, and she looked at Ryan's body, "Are you okay?" ”
"No big deal."
"Okay."
After sitting down, she said, "You were very brave yesterday. ”
"Courage is just a judgment of myself, the result of the battle is still a failure."
Hill shook his head: "After analysis, your performance is remarkable, and even if you look backwards, your reaction at that time is crucial, otherwise there will be a large number of non-combat attrition of the rapid response special forces and special service teams yesterday, which is a loss that we can hardly afford." ”
Ryan has reason to believe that by the time Hill knows who most of the leaders and members of the Rapid Response Special Forces are, she will regret why Ryan shot so quickly yesterday.
To be honest, Ryan also seriously considered whether to use the Destroyer to indirectly weaken the power of Hydra.
But the thought was only fleeting in his mind.
Bottom line: what a waste.
If I'm just S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and they're all Hydra, we're mortal enemies.
If I'm not just a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, but also a member of Hydra, we're close comrades.
"You have a good relationship with Thor?" Hill asked suddenly.
Ryan nodded: "It should be okay." ”
"Did he say when he would come back to Earth?"
"I don't know exactly when I want to, but he said he'd come back. In addition, I feel that there is one person we can pay special attention to, and even provide some help and convenience to her. ”
Coulson interjected at this point: "Jane Foster? ”
"Yes."
Ciel: "She and Thor?" ”
Ryan chuckled, "I can see that Thor likes her." ”
Hill and Coulson's expressions were different when they ate the melon, the former began to think deeply, and the latter smiled at his aunt.
After a while, Coulson agreed: "We can invite Jane to become a special scientific advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D., after all, after our research materials were retrieved by us, she also participated in the research with our people, I asked, and the people in the bureau spoke highly of her." Also, Professor Sylvig had already been given the status of an advisor the day before yesterday. ”
Hill bowed, "I'll report to the director, there should be no problem." ”
Turning her head, she said, "Although I only assigned you one task, you have done a lot of things these days. So I won't continue to squeeze your time, you can start building the Ninth Special Service Team with all your heart, after all, recruiting people is also an important part of your assessment as a vice-captain. ”
"Thank you."
Hill took out a document and handed it to Ryan.
Ryan took it and looked through it.
The file consists of two parts.
The first half is a comprehensive investigation report by S.H.I.E.L.D. into Ryan's past background, life, etc., and the results show that there are no problems.
The meaning of Hill's show to him was obvious, meaning that he had initially gained the trust of S.H.I.E.L.D., or at least Ciel.
The second half comes from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top boss, the World Security Council.
Ryan's previous confrontation with Hulk and Abomination, as well as the video of yesterday's fight with the Destroyer, have long been seen by those people.
Hulk and Abomination nearly ruined Harlem, the Destroyer reappears in Washington, D.C., Thor's departure on the Rainbow Bridge, and so on, and after a series of events spread rapidly, the talk of aliens is once again pushed into the limelight.
In order to divert the world's attention, there are people in the World Security Council who have come up with ways to divert attention.
That is to push out the protagonists of the two battles to attract everyone's attention.
If Ryan nods, then he will take off and gain fame and fortune.
But the problem is that this way of dealing with things is too rough, and for Ryan, there will be absolutely no end to the future.
After a moment, he looked up and said, "I don't think I'm the protagonist of these two battles, the events in Harlem are just that, yesterday was mainly based on Thor." So, I think it's best not to make it public, after all, it's just a temporary flash in the pan, and now that we've lost Mjolnir, the chances of getting it back in the future...... Infinitely close to zero. ”
Hill nodded: "Well, that's our opinion as well. ”
Coulson also said: "Even if Thor's hammer is still there, I don't think we need to be as high-profile as Tony Stark, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is an intelligence agency and a secret service organization." ”
This concludes the conversation.
Before leaving, Hill asks Ryan if he needs help, and Ryan politely refuses.
After she left, Coulson said, "Do you still have any money?" ”
"A little."
"The dormitory is gone now, and you haven't received the salary of the secret service team, do you really have any savings?"
"Yes. The previous salary was already quite good for me. ”
"That's good, it seems that you are not a person who likes to spend money recklessly. By the way, your formation of a squad is also a task in the bureau, and you can apply for funding, up to 100,000, do you want it? ”
Ryan nodded without hesitation: "Of course!" ”
"Okay, you apply online, and Hill will definitely approve it." After that, Coulson handed over a key, "The house outside is very expensive, you can live with me, and I rarely go back." ”
Ryan looked at the key and shook his head: "No need, I think I'll leave here for a while soon, I asked Sharon to investigate first because of the mission, but now that I'm free, I'd better go and invite it myself." ”
"Okay, then you can arrange it yourself."
Coulson patted him on the shoulder and leaned closer, whispering, "You know we have a lot of identities to exploit, but if you're going to do something that isn't easy for people to know, it's best not to tell your true information, we also have a very large pool of false identities." ”
Ryan nodded in understanding.
But he will definitely not use this false identity bank, because every call will be clearly seen by S.H.I.E.L.D., what is the difference between that and stripping naked?
Besides, the best false identity is no identity at all.
Back on the ground, Ryan was on his way to leave when he met an acquaintance.
Horner, who was knocked down by him in the ring, looked at him with a spring breeze on his face: "Ryan, although it makes me very uncomfortable that you knocked me down on the stage, I still want to thank you for saving us yesterday." ”
"You're welcome."
"Are you free, I want to invite you to a meal."
"I'm sorry, I still have something to do."
"Actually, it's our chief who wants to see you, and he is very optimistic about you."
Ryan paused in thought and said, "Now I need to form my own team first, this is my assessment task, I don't want to be distracted." So please tell me that I can meet him at the end of the month. ”
Horner continued: "We're very sincere, forming a squad is a small matter, and we can directly help you choose the best people to join your special team. ”
Ryan looked him in the eye: "I prefer to come by myself." ”
Horner's smile was a little untenable.
Ryan didn't want to waste time in a senseless conflict, and said bluntly: "You don't have to look at me like that, tell your commander that I'm interested in getting to know him, and if he wants, then wait." ”
With that, he passed by Horner and left without looking back.
