NOVEL NEXT Marvel World New Magneto
286 Landscapes
"When you disappeared, 50 years passed."
When Nick Fury said these words again, the continuous rain had subsided, the smog in the sky had dissipated, and the clear sky reappeared above.
At this point they have entered an office building in eastern Manhattan, which is the branch of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York.The reception room is not big, but it feels quite comfortable. Through the window, you can see the spiers of the Chrysler Building in the distance. Behind this tallest brick building in the world is the Stark headquarters building that he used to frequent. .
Ignoring the voice behind him, Eric went to the window and stared in the direction of the setting sun for a while, before sitting down on the sofa.
The accompanying guests were seated one by one, and they were arranged on the left and right sides of him. Some of them were familiar faces - Hill, Natasha and Coulson, while others were relatively unfamiliar. Fury introduced them to him one by one. It turned out that they were Eagle-eyed Clint Barton who is good at archery, Barbara Morse nicknamed Mockingbird, Carter's niece Sharon and others.
Eric didn't speak, and observed quietly. He could see that these were people Fred could trust. Perhaps Director One-eyed didn't want him to have contact with people from other factions within S.H.I.E.L.D.
Originally, Howard's son Tony was also serving in S.H.I.E.L.D., and even served as a commander at one point, but his extremely arrogant and habitual personality was unbearable. Forcibly dismissed, and now he is still staying in his seaside mansion thinking about new equipment technology.
Although the guests were a little taciturn, the people present were all sophisticated. They chatted casually, making the atmosphere neither cold nor noisy. Nick Fury did not participate in the conversation of his subordinates, nor did he sit on the opposite sofa. Moved a chair.Sit down beside Eric with his back to the window.
The golden rays of the setting sun crossed his spine and cast in Eric's direction, making his calm face clearly displayed under the bright light, while Fury himself hid in the dark of the backlight, silently observing him expression.
The conversation between the female agents gradually deepened.It seems to mention the past intentionally or unintentionally.From their words, Eric knew what happened after he left the previous era - Howard, Steve and other mutants, and of course more importantly Sharon's aunt, his ex-girlfriend Peggy Case.
All in all, most of them have become past tense, and except for a few who are still fighting, most of them have left people's sight.
Howard, the first director, died in a car accident.
The next director, Carter, retired due to illness.
Charles and Maura start the academy.
Magneto quickly came into his own after a short stint with the government, continuing to fight for space for his fellow citizens.
……
It sounds like nothing has changed.Human society stubbornly relies on its own inherent inertia to move forward.Let all the efforts come to naught, the only good news is that Steve was finally found, fished out of the thick ice, has recovered not long ago, and works in the organization established by his old friends. Instead of going to the Mediterranean to perform a mission, he should be right in front of Eric now.
The news is logical, anything can happen in 50 years.Eric just listened, and after briefly asking about some matters of concern, he didn't do anything special.It was difficult for the agents to see what he was thinking in his heart, at least on the surface he remained calm, and from Fury’s point of view, there was nothing worth mentioning. Tell whether his eyes are sorrow or shock.
In fact, Eric was neither saddened nor shocked, and his heart was even lighter than when he just regained consciousness, which was due to the scene he saw by the window.
Those things let him know that all the efforts in the past were not in vain, but some minor adjustments were made due to the shock of time and space. With this understanding, he can temporarily relax and gradually understand what happened in the future.
As the sun set, the voices from the outside gradually disappeared. The agents never provoked the guests to chat. Natasha's eyes were meaningful, and Peggy's niece Sharon was somewhat curious. The others secretly and quickly exchanged glances. Time was a little deserted in the reception room.
After a short silence, Fury finally broke the silence.
"Remember me?" he asked, rubbing the patch over his left eye.
"Of course." Eric replied lightly, this was the first time he talked to Fury after entering the reception room. "We met in Brooklyn in the winter of '[-], if I hadn't suffered from amnesia."
"That's right, your memory is still excellent." Fury looked at the other party with piercing eyes. Although one eye was missing, the remaining one seemed to have taken on the responsibility of a companion and looked sharper. "We met in Brooklyn. Thanks to your help, I was not arrested. Later, I polished your shoes on the square in front of the Stark Expo. That was the last time we met."
He doesn't care about the embarrassing things in the past. For the tenth-level agent, there is only the difference between those that need to be kept secret and those that don't. The director who always showed a mysterious image once polished someone's leather shoes. The eyes of Bionic Bird Barbara and Hawkeye Button lit up, and they pricked up their ears with great interest.
But Eric didn't bring up the past again.
"I think you don't need to be in the service industry anymore." He pointed to the reception room.
"Indeed, although I have no special achievements compared to you, there is still some progress. When I heard the news that you woke up, I postponed a few meetings and came here." Fury raised his chin, and suddenly clapped his hands again. . "By the way, I haven't yet congratulated you on being the only living national hero who has saved America twice. After you disappeared, Congress specifically ratified you to the rank of brigadier general, so we have to call you 'general'."
"That's a good name." Eric narrowed his eyes and commented. "But I prefer the word 'alive' to hero and rank, it lets me know I'm alive."
His tone was indifferent and somewhat teasing, and the atmosphere in the reception room was finally no longer so awkward.
"There is no doubt about this, we can all prove it for you." The corner of Fury's mouth twitched, and he smiled. "However, in the past 50 years, the world situation has undergone major changes and is completely different from the past."
Mr. Director said, Commander Hill took out the holographic projection equipment at the right time, and showed scenes one after another.
There are Iron Man flying in the air, as well as all kinds of strange superpowers. In addition to those people who often come into contact with, Eric even saw thousands of furry guys gathering in the square and waving The arm roared.
"The world is different, Eric." Fury said, looking at the memory. "In the past, only human nations killed each other, but since you wiped out the giant monsters that attacked New York 50 years ago, the whole world has never been stable. The Magneto you recruited was once a national hero, but his attitude was too radical. , After resigning, he established a brotherhood organization of superpowers, and there are remnants of the Nazis. The Hydra that we thought had been eliminated has also revived. In addition to these old opponents, many new forces have recently emerged. Evil scientists, legendary werewolves... if you go for a walk in West New York right now, you might even see a robot with a soul on the streets - an Air Force test pilot who posthumously took control of the machine he piloted the last time he lived , and now openly come and go in the street every day-I guess you can't imagine such a scene."
Eric raised his eyebrows and didn't speak. These things are actually related to him, but others don't know that's all.
The future he imagined in the past--in addition to ordinary humans, there are also vampires, werewolves, and robots coexisting in a world that is taking shape. Mutants have become superpowers, and the boundaries between people with acquired abilities are no longer clear, but they will still be affected by it. repel.
This is also inevitable, after all, human beings are used to being hostile to others.
The scene flowed quickly, showing the major changes one by one, and finally stopped on a group of people with thick gray hair. The leader was the werewolf king Lucien brought back by Eric from another world.After lurking for so long, he has finally found his own voice and is now seeking to establish his own country in Scotland.
"The whole world is in turmoil. People with superpowers want more. The living space of people with universal power is getting more and more crowded. We are like sitting on the crater of a volcano. We may be destroyed by erupting magma at any moment. To protect peace, we need you the power of."
Fury spoke earnestly, one eye shining brightly.
However, in the end, Eric still did not agree to Fury's request. He is not Steve, and he does not have the love to dedicate everything to the country and mankind. He is most concerned about his own affairs now. request is noncommittal.
Fortunately, Mr. Director also understands this, and he did not pin his hopes on a success. After communicating for a while, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. left one after another. Now Eric lives here temporarily, and the rookie agent Jemma Simmons who used to take care of him Was transferred to continue to accompany.
Before leaving, Eric suddenly mentioned something.
"How did you find me?" He asked casually, vaguely feeling that he didn't fall into the sea like Steve did.
"We were doing experiments at the time...it was an accident." Fury didn't elaborate, but with the help of electromagnetic waves flashing in his mind, Eric vaguely saw a cube emitting blue light.
So he smiled, didn't ask any more questions, sent the other party out the door, and then went back to the window to watch the scenery.
In Eric's eyes, across the Stark Tower all the way to the west, near the distant Hudson River, where a palace floating in the air is reflecting the last rays of the setting sun. (to be continued~^~)
