Chapter 42: Treatment and Consolidation
"Thank you for your help, although I think I can handle it myself."
Tony stood in front of Ryan, his eyes still full of residual excitement after a long absence, but his words were still full of narcissism.
Rod stepped forward, "I'm sorry, he always speaks so badly. Seriously, I'm so grateful for your presence and, two years ago, although I didn't witness it with my own eyes, in fact, I'm still a fan of you. ”
"Thank you." Ryan smiled lightly and said to Tony, "I can help with Pepper's situation, you'd better not do anything tonight, and take him to me tomorrow." ”
Before Tony could speak, the president, who had already left the Iron Patriot armor on the side, walked up to Ryan with the support of a special service member, and stretched out his hand with a smile on his face: "Holy Sword!" Thank you for saving me, and thank you for saving all of Washington two years ago. ”
Ryan glanced at him and withdrew his gaze, nodded at Rod, and gave Tony a look.
"Gone."
With that, the body rose from the ground, and after taking off, it quickly moved away with a bang.
Tony took Rod's shoulders and walked away quickly, and whispered, "See, do you still think I'm not welcome?" ”
The corners of Rod's mouth twitched: "Now I know that compared to him, you are really polite." ”
Tony glanced back at the ugly-looking president and sneered, "How can this be said to be polite? Ryan is here to save people, he is saved, he can't let everyone be kind to him just because he is the president, right? ”
"But ......"
"It's nothing, you're a soldier, he's not."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. ......"
"Please, S.H.I.E.L.D. is a global organization, and it's long since it broke away from its predecessor." Speaking of this, Tony suddenly raised his eyebrows again: "By the way, you may not know that there are now two factions within S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
"Oh?" Rod was surprised: "I'm not an Avenger, is this what I can listen to?" ”
"Since you're wearing a Steel Patriot, it's a matter of time."
Rod nodded slightly: "Then you tell me." ”
The two walked and talked.
"The first faction, dominated by Nick Fury, is the director of the bureau and holds the most power in S.H.I.E.L.D., however, he is very well hidden, and he has done a lot of things behind other people's backs, but I can't even find out the specifics. However, every year the funds that the World Security Council gives to S.H.I.E.L.D. pass through his hands, but through my traces, I have found that many of the items in the reports submitted each year are adulterated. ”
"Hey, you mean he's corrupt?"
Tony shook his head, "That's not going to happen." But he must have spent a lot of money somewhere else, and even the World Security Council didn't know about it. As he spoke, he pointed to his eyes: "No wonder I felt very uncomfortable when I first saw him, but now when I look back, it turns out that my eyes are really useful." ”
Rod pouted: "What about the second faction?" ”
"The second faction, I originally thought that it was Alexander Pierce, this person was the previous director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and even Nick Fury was personally appointed and appointed by him, but to this day, there are still many people in S.H.I.E.L.D. who are his descendants. In the past two years, the interior of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been turbulent on the surface, but secretly it has been turbulent. Ryan's uncle Red Varner had originally retired from S.H.I.E.L.D., but later returned to S.H.I.E.L.D., and was quickly promoted in a short period of time, and is now the deputy head of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Academy, which is a key position, all agents must pass the training or examination of S.H.I.E.L.D. for the first time, further study and promotion. ”
Rod thought for a moment and said, "So, do you think that the other faction of S.H.I.E.L.D. is dominated by Ryan?" ”
"Of course." Tony bowed his head and patted Rod on the shoulder with a smile: "You've become smarter." ”
Rod gave him a blank look, "So where has he been in the past two years?" If he were on the surface, he would definitely be able to form a stronger confrontation with Nick Fury with his reputation. ”
"How do I know? However, I suspect that he was either seriously injured or deliberately did it. The former is fine, if it's the latter, then I guess his popularity must be part of his plan now. ”
"This ...... If that's the case, then he's terrible. ”
Tony shook his head, then shook his head, "But I don't think it's likely, he doesn't look like that kind of person." ”
Rhodes thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "I think so, he brought Mephisto to the snow-capped mountains in the Himalayas alone. ”
"That's one reason. Mainly because, I think that a person who can control the power of light is unlikely to be a bad person. ”
"Well, that's true, too?"
"What?"
"Doesn't it appear a lot in the anime? His power of light can not only hurt people, but also save people. ”
Hearing this, Tony seemed to fall into a fond memory, and even his smile was warm and enjoyable: "That's right, his power of light can save people, and it's very comfortable." ”
Rod gave him a strange look, and then said with some emotion: "Then if he had been there during the battle of New York, there might have been a lot of deaths." ”
"yes, so I think he might have been seriously injured, and if he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have been able to show up at that time. If you think about it, the first time Thor's brother sent a Destroyer, he was still very weak at the time, but he stepped up, and the second time, the demon lord from hell appeared, and he was the first to appear. ”
"He's weird to hear you say that. So why would he take a group of people against Nick Fury? ”
Tony frowned: "I've thought about this question too." I think the biggest reason is because of the stance. ”
"Stand?"
"That's right, Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D. is biased, although maybe because he is based in Washington, so he pays more attention to the United States or the mainland, and many missions are limited here, but his control over places outside of North America is significantly reduced. But since Pierce, Red, Antonia and others began to exert their efforts, the number of missions of S.H.I.E.L.D. around the world has more than tripled, and the organizations they have eliminated have not only appeared in the last year or two, and they are still using the agent power that was originally under S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
"This ...... Can't say Nick Fury isn't okay either? ”
"I didn't say he was bad, but what he did didn't fit the position and positioning of S.H.I.E.L.D. Seriously, a lot of information has been piled up in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Information Resources Bureau for a long time, but he has been holding back and not acting, why do you say this? ”
"Uh...... I don't know. ”
"Because it takes time and resources to act, but his time and resources are obviously saved in places we don't know. The last time he was on the Helicarrier, he explained that it was because of Thor's arrival, so he wanted to develop more and more powerful weapons to fight the aliens that might appear in the future. ”
"That seems to be the right idea."
"Yes, I could barely believe it at the time, but then I didn't think he could be trusted at all."
"Why?"
"Because S.H.I.E.L.D. has been in contact with aliens for a long time, although the information I have found is not exhaustive, I firmly believe that S.H.I.E.L.D. must have dealt with aliens for a long time. It can be seen that he is still lying. ”
Rod took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
Tony smiled when he saw this, "What does it feel?" ”
"These two factions are not simple. Nick Fury is terrible, Sacred Sword Ryan ...... He seems to be getting stronger again. ”
"yes, Ryan doesn't even need wings for this flight."
Rod nodded, and then asked, "By the way, why did you think of checking this?" ”
"At first, of course, I didn't think about it, but then Fury came up to me and told me that he suspected someone in S.H.I.E.L.D. was going to mutiny, and asked my AI to help him analyze the information, and then I found Pierce, Red, and Antonia. Dig a little further and you'll find out. ”
"Did you tell Fury?"
"Of course not, as soon as he approached me, I refused directly."
Rod's whole face wrinkled: "So, you sneaked into the information network of S.H.I.E.L.D. again?" ”
"I'm above board, it's just that no one has the ability to find me."
"Well, well, so, now that Ryan is back, which side are you going to stand on?"
"Of course I'm supporting Ryan, and I want him to help me treat me often in the future, you don't know, he used the power of light to help me treat last time, and that night...... Ahem, you get the idea. ”
Rod looked at him with a strange expression, "Is it really that amazing?" ”
Tony whispered, "It's definitely more magical than you think, and the most important thing is that it won't overdraw and hurt your body." ”
Rhodes was silent for a long time.
Finally, when they were about to part, he stuck to Tony's ear: "You said that if I were on his side, would he be willing to help me consolidate it?" ”
"Consolidation?" Tony frowned.
Rod confidently crossed his waist: "I'm different from you, I'm already very powerful, so this is definitely not a treatment." ”
Tony thought for a moment and said, "Get out!" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
