Marvel World New Magneto

The lights were flickering, the music was melodious, and groups of troublemakers were sent away, and the person Eric was waiting for finally came.

"You are finally willing to come over, Mr. Stark." Eric raised his glass to the person who came, and made a joke with him. "If you're still holding your breath, I'm already thinking about putting Talbot in a skirt and seeing if it works."

It's a high-society running joke -- even if you put a skirt on a shark, some dandy won't hesitate to come over.

Of course, the thick-skinned old acquaintance would not blush because of other people's teasing. He greeted him familiarly and walked in front of Eric.

Now, the two are finally seeing each other after a 19-year absence.

Eric looked at Howard, and Howard looked back at him, looking at each other, and they both felt a little emotional.

Now Howard is obviously a little old. Although he still looks tough on the outside, his inner essence has begun to wither. The long-term wandering life has caused irreversible negative effects on his health. His plump cheeks were slightly thinner and sunken. His slightly frivolous gaze became much deeper than before, his forehead was slightly bald, and his face was slightly yellow. He was dressed in a black formal suit, and when he was not speaking, he looked more like a rigid bureaucrat than a brilliant scientist.

Only the outspokenness along the way still retains some romantic qualities.

This is the magic of time, and time is so cruel and merciless to those who cannot resist its power.

The same 19 years passed without any effect on Eric.Although the method of traveling through time is unfamiliar, he has already produced an essential difference from other people. In Howard's eyes, Eric is still the same Eric from the past, as if walking out of a memory, completely ignoring the world change.

For a moment, Howard had an uncontrollable jealousy welling up in his heart.His pupils narrowed, but he quickly controlled his emotions and regained his sharpness.

At this time, Tarbert had already pulled up the CIA officials who were accompanying him, and left with the fat person in charge.

Howard glanced at the Brigadier General and saw Tarbert actively cooperate.And there was no displeasure at Eric's teasing at all.As a result, the evaluation of the influence of old colleagues has been further improved.

The person who got in the way left, but the two of them fell silent. Looking back on the past, their friendship is actually very ordinary, but they are just acquaintances who hide their competitive relationship. It's just that the relationship has settled down over time, and now even the parties themselves find it hard to understand. clear their views on each other.

"How's Paige?" Eric asked in a low voice.His eyes looked far away through Howard's body.

"Same as me." Howard replied in the same low voice. "She didn't return to the UK. She stayed in the US and continued to work as an agent of the Scientific Strategic Corps..."

He briefly introduced the situation.

Due to his sexism, Carter received a cold reception after the war, serving tea and doing some administrative work at regiment headquarters.However, the neglected female agent is destined not to work in the boiling water room all her life. During this period, Howard Stark got into trouble: some of his dangerous "gizmos" were stolen and flowed into the black market, leading the Legion executives to suspect that he was trying to resell The weapon, Stark, who could not explain it, had to find Carter and ask her to help find out the truth about the theft of the invention.Return your innocence.

In this way, after some twists and turns.Carter finally rescued Howard, and Howard deeply felt that he needed to develop his strength in a special department, so he took the opportunity to re-enter the SSR, trying to become one of the leaders of the Science Strategy Corps and play a role with Carter.

"I thought you'd be running for office instead of spending time in the Secret Service," Eric said casually, somewhat surprised by this.

"It's really easy, but no one can maintain influence for long. Politicians spend too much time trying to please the public. I don't think I can do it. I want to be a trend-setting person instead of taking every inch of my skin from The clothes were exposed under the clothes for the reporter to take pictures." Howard answered this way, which should be said to be in line with his personality.

However, there is also a problem here, that is, the Legion was originally established under the behest of President Roosevelt, without the full consent of Congress. Where there is no particular conflict with the division of competences of other agencies, it survives.But after the war, the Soviet Union replaced the Axis powers as a new confidant, so the situation of the SSR became more and more dangerous, and finally it was attacked by the McCarthyists in [-].

"A marvelous brave soul, a great patriot...he nearly cornered us! Can you imagine the briefcase that often contained a bottle of whiskey and the politicians who defended the Nazis who slaughtered their own soldiers with a bunch of different The facts of nature and the figures that cannot be verified confused the Senate and the entire United States. After a few years, the only good thing is that we have gained power, but there is nothing to be happy about, because the entire SSR is about to end." Howard said indignantly, and it was obvious that he had spent a lot of effort to keep it. this unit.

"You won't just sit back and watch the crisis come, will you?" Eric asked, he probably already knew what would happen next.

Sure enough, Howard proved it.

"Yes, we've been trying to get support. It's a new era, and we have to reorganize into a whole new agency - of the United States - that we've figured out, and the new unit will be called International Intelligence and Law Enforcement Supreme Command, what do you think?"

He asked with great interest, and Eric twitched the corner of his mouth and did not answer. This name is the same as the abbreviation of the famous institution in later generations, but it sounds like something else entirely.

"Or what about Strategic Danger Intervention and Espionage Logistics? I've been thinking about them for a long time. The abbreviations are SHIELD, shield, which fits our spirit, right?" , he regained some of the inventor's temperament.

"What's Peggy's idea?" Eric was not interested in these names, and asked directly about the key points.

Howard grinned, suddenly a little listless.

"... Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency." He said weakly, and then heard Eric's opinion.

"That's the name!" Eric said in an indisputable tone.

***

The conversation didn't take long.Erica took Howard to New York that night to meet the person he wanted to meet. Although the CIA had some opinions, who would care about them?

No one can stand in the way of a time traveler.

During the four or five hour drive during the day, Eric arrived in just a moment, under Howard's guidance.He came to the residence of the female agent in New York.No one knew what they were doing inside, and it had been several days since they came out again. During this period, Howard helped them deal with all the interruptions. He didn't rush over to find him until he received the news that Eric had left.

"Did you see Peggy?" He asked directly without any nonsense.

Eric nodded and didn't say much.

Different from what others think.It was not a pleasant meeting at first. 19 years have exhausted a woman's best time.

Just like the story in One Thousand and One Nights, King Solomon coaxed the innocent demon god into a bottle and threw it into the sea. At first, the demon god was full of expectations. The richest man, but no one came; so in the second millennium he promised power, in the third millennium youth, but the savior never came.So in the fourth millennium, it completely became the devil.

Paige faced this transition.No matter how determined and determined her character is, in the end she cannot live in good memories forever.

Fortunately, there is someone who can help her, not simply to inject vitality, but to make a complete change.

"You can restore her youth, right?" Howard asked tentatively. Like the past senators, he has also reached the age where he needs to care about his own lifespan. Even because of his lifestyle, he knows better than those old people who are good at taking care of themselves. felt threatened by weakness.

Eric didn't answer, just walked ahead without even pausing.

Howard could only follow closely like a follower, working hard for his life.

"I know Peggy's physical report. She just looks old on the outside, but her physique is actually strengthening, just like Steve. This is very contradictory, but she can't hide it from me. I even know better than she herself. how did you do it?"

"Aren't you the ones who invented the serum?" Eric said lightly, and Howard started to trot.

"Erskine did something wrong, and Brandt and the others found out after a long time, but there is no developer, no correct data, and even Steve is gone, they have completely lost hope, but I know you have a way, tell Me, I can do a lot for you." Howard was a little out of breath, and quickly reached out to hold him.

Now Eric finally turned his head and looked into his eyes quietly.

"I believe you can do a lot, but nothing can compare to your own life. So here comes the question: Mr. Stark, what will you give me in return?"

His attitude was not aggressive, but Howard could feel the pressure inside.

Under such pressure, he suddenly laughed.

"I don't know what you want, just know that you can meet my needs." Howard regained his composure. "Growing up on the Lower East Side, my father was a greengrocer, my mother sold blouses in a factory, and when someone like me climbs the upper-class ladder, he picks up a bit of vice along the way. Some people have ceilings over their heads. Yes, it depends on your parents' family background, your class, your beliefs, your gender... To break through these ceilings, you must do something beyond the norm. So, what do you need me to do?"

Howard spread his hands helplessly, but his eyes were burning with the light of desire.

Eric raised an eyebrow and patted him on the shoulder.

Now, he finally has another ally.

"Do what you have to do, and you will get what you want." Eric said softly.

"What about you?" Howard laughed, his stiff expression completely disappeared, and he turned back into the sly Stark.

"As for me," Eric smiled faintly. "I'm going to visit a friend on the highest mountain in the world before I come to your problems."

He said casually, squinting his eyes and looked far to the east. (to be continued~^~)
