Chapter 115: Old Friends
After the show, Atlas returned to the break room and sat in a simple chair draped in a fabric for warmth.
He held a wine glass in his hand, and the brown liquor in the glass swayed slightly, reflecting his lonely look. The atmosphere in the lounge was silent and oppressive, and an invisible loneliness permeated the air.
His eyes fell on the mirror in the lounge, the mirror was blurry, it looked like it hadn't been wiped for a long time, the image in the mirror was almost hazy, and he suddenly felt that maybe this blur was more in line with his complex personality and experience.
He took a sip of wine and swallowed it, the familiar sour taste echoed on the tip of his tongue, there was only this cheap wine sold within a radius of more than ten kilometers, damn it, it wasn't like that decades ago.
After swallowing the wine violently, Atlas turned his head slightly and said to the visitor behind him, "Why did you come to kill me after all these years?" ”
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to an old, yellowed photograph hanging from the edge of the mirror.
The photo shows a group photo of several people in tights, his former partner, his former comrade-in-arms, and the years that passed.
The golden power armor shimmered, and the eagle eye that emerged from the shadows looked awe-inspiring and majestic, and he tried to keep himself from looking at the old photograph and instead locking his gaze to Atlas:
"I treat you well, we have been through so many things together, why did you betray us?"
"God, Clint. The world doesn't revolve around you, I just want to live. ”
The bald old man's voice was self-deprecating, and he smiled wryly and looked down at the vanishing liquor in his glass, trying to find some inexpressible answers in it.
The villains see him as the anti-hero of the Thunder Agents, and the heroes see him as a villain in Zemo's 'Lord of Evil' squad.
"You haven't had a good time all these years, you still have a wife and children to raise, and if you don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice, we haven't been able to do it."
After quietly looking at the glass again, Atlas picked up another glass from the table, slowly poured in the wine, and then raised the glass and smiled at Hawkeye, "The last glass?" Honoring our past? ”
The latter did not speak, but silently raised his right hand and ejected an automatic crossbow arrow, the tip of which shimmered in the dim light.
Before leaving, he had the craftsman add this self-reloading mechanical crossbow for him, and he was indeed proficient in firearms and fighting skills, but he didn't have anything on him that could be fired, and Clint always felt that something was missing.
"Don't drink?" The bald old man gulped down the wine from his glass, then stood up and vigorously ripped off the cloak on his body, revealing the huge A mark on his chest.
It was the initials in Atlas, symbolizing who he once was.
The cloak fluttered to the ground, and his movements seemed to announce that he was no longer hidden, and that the past and present would be unabashedly displayed in this room.
"Then you'd better pray that thing on your body is more durable than your broken face!" Atlas roared, the sound echoing through the air like thunder, and the glass in his hand was crushed with a clatter.
At the same time, his body quickly grew larger, his physique swelled, his muscles were hairy, and he directly broke through the cloth roof of the tent, and a piece of cloth was torn apart by his powerful force.
His changes were so rapid that it was impossible not to be shocked, and Atlas reached a height of nearly twenty meters in a few breaths.
The crowd in the circus, who had been laughing and laughing, instantly panicked as they saw the giant tear the top of the tent, and then, without hesitation, began to trample on something in the tent, and stretched out his hand to hit it.
Screams rang out around the tent, and the crowd began to run out in confusion, trying to escape the sudden danger.
It's just that when each visitor ran to the gate of the circus, a faint red halo flashed around his head, and then his face became a little confused, and then he continued to run away as if he remembered something.
"What, isn't it fully developed? You weren't that short ten minutes ago. ”
Clint sneered, a roll dodging the giant's punch, and even without the power armor, he was able to dodge quickly with his enhanced physique.
And at this moment, with the blessing of the power armor, he was like a tiger with wings, and he easily dodged the attack of the bloated giant's fist, which looked extremely clumsy in front of him, and could not compare to his agility and agility.
Some of the splashed gravel planks hit him with a clanging sound, but it didn't hurt him in the slightest.
"Phew! Keep playing tricks on your mouth, we should have killed you instead of letting you go, Zemo is such a stupid pig. ”
Atlas was a little annoyed, grabbed the roller coaster parked on the track next to him and threw it at the golden power armor, but the Ferris wheel was really some distance away from him, otherwise he really wanted to stuff the eagle eye into it like a hamster and roll on the ground.
The roaring roller coaster broke into three parts in the air, the wind roared along with the debris, but Hawkeye unhurriedly put on his helmet, and the goggles immediately projected complex data and calculations.
In the blink of an eyelid, the largest fragment was in front of his eyes, and the engine of the power armor followed with a deafening roar, and it was ready.
His muscles tensed and slammed into the fist, making a heavy crash with the shards, and then a mass of afterimages flew upside down like meteors, heading towards the massive giant.
The giant's body shook violently, and he staggered back a few steps, and the paved tiles were trampled out of deep pits.
But Hawkeye didn't give him a chance to breathe, and the leg bearings of the power armor quickly operated and rushed forward, and the speed was pushed to nearly 100 kilometers per hour in a few seconds, "You are still the same as before, you will always waste your altitude advantage, and eventually turn it into a disadvantage." ”
Looking at the somewhat dazed giant, Clint snorted coldly, pulled out a pair of sharp blades from his waist that matched the power armor, and plunged them into the giant's heels like a mountaineering pickaxe.
"Ahh The giant who was rubbing his head screamed, and a pair of big hands touched downward, but the agile eagle eye had already made a dozen openings on him with his left and right hands alternately, and climbed upward.
If it's just an ordinary knife, it really can't hurt Atlas, and the giant people with Pym particles will also improve their physical fitness as they get bigger, and they can withstand most firearms and even missiles.
But the blades were crafted with a touch of vibranium – the vibranium earrings provided by the doppelgangers to make them extremely sharp.
Eventually, dozens of cuts were left behind the giant, and Hawkeye, standing on his shoulder, slashed into the gap between the cervical vertebrae, and with the splatters of blood and his hard-twisted wrists, the giant fell to the ground with a bang, smashing up a cloud of dust.
"Ready? You can go and see Baron Zemo. ”
Clint jumped to the ground, shook off the blood on the knife and walked over to the hissing Atlas.
