Marvel World New Magneto

306 The Universe Is So Big



This is a typical New Mexico town. It is located next to the famous Route 66. Cornfields, wasteland and scattered cacti can be seen everywhere nearby. There are pubs selling sparkling wine and motels with neon lights in the town. As well as the simple and old-fashioned gas station, when outsiders walk into it, it's like walking into an old movie to relive the legendary anecdotes of the West.

In this small town, every evening, the sunset will turn into a bright red bullet, hovering among the hills, and the crimson rays will dye half of the clouds in the sky like a dream.

Fitz usually likes such colorful scenery the most, and he always feels that this moment can give him infinite inspiration, but today the rookie agent almost delayed the time to appreciate the sunset. After reporting the situation to the headquarters, he returned to the living room after exhausting his words.

"The report is finished?" Gemma was sitting on the sofa holding a biological journal, and she was holding a pencil in her hand, spinning rapidly between her fingers. Seeing Fitz coming out, the spinning pencil suddenly stopped up.

"Yes, it's finally over." Fitz didn't notice this, he sat down exhausted, and buried himself deeply in the soft sofa cushions.

Although the last incident has passed, Thor and his friends returned to Asgard, and the miniature city that Coulson built around Thor's Hammer was also demolished, but Fitz and others couldn't leave like them. Because their leader Eric just said hello and disappeared.

How could this be?

Every time I think of Fitz, I can't help complaining, how can a dignified S.H.I.E.L.D. veteran, brigadier general, and a big man with many titles and halos do things as he pleases, at least he should say where he went, what he did, and what he had What follow-up arrangements, they can't make a deal with the higher-ups if they disappear casually like this.So the current situation is that after the team leader disappeared, the other team members were forced to stay in the small town and wait to see if the gentleman would come back by himself or if there were any new orders from the bureau.

However, according to bald detective Sitwell privately, it may be difficult for the senior management of the bureau to take the initiative and someone is willing to stand up and take responsibility.After all, Eric is not an outdated battlefield hero like Rogers, and he is involved in many current power struggles.For example, the council hopes that he can balance Fury, who is used to self-assertion, and bring some fresh air to this increasingly closed system, so that they can more effectively control this powerful institution.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Fitz and others. They only hope that Eric can come back as soon as possible.To end this embarrassing situation.

At present they lived in the house that Dr. Selvig and Jane rented in the town.It was also one of the few intact houses left in the town from the previous incident. The three astronomers left after staying for a few days. Coulson left a little later. He applied for a sum of money from the bureau. , and spent a lot of effort to appease the townspeople who had suffered huge losses. Under his impetus, the reconstruction work proceeded very quickly. After just two weeks, the town's surface seemed to have roughly returned to its old appearance.

"This time I was asked to explain why Mjolnir - the hammer - was not kept - and Coulson's men heard from the Asgardians that Thor's father promised that anyone who took If you pick it up, you can take ownership of it. For this, Commander Hill personally questioned me for a long time."

"Then why don't you keep it?" Gemma didn't say anything, just blinked her big eyes and fluttered her long eyelashes a few times, and Fitz immediately understood her thoughts.

"I just want to understand something." The boy looked up at the ceiling and said slowly. "I want to understand what I really need to cherish. I don't have to fight to be a hero... I feel very close to Mjolnir when I hold it, as docile and cute as a kitten, but I am ashamed , because that's not my strength. Eric helped me, like Manhattan saved Jane. I don't want to deceive it and myself. I shouldn't, I should be myself, I am Leo. Fitz, not Thor Fitz or Eric Fitz. It was like a dream, and now I'm awake, and I'm still me."

"Fitz..." After hearing these words, Gemma was a little moved. She put down the extremely attractive biological journal and looked at it again, only to find that a circle of tender pimples had inadvertently grown on the side of the boy's cheek. short beard.

Before she could sigh, Bronski passed by the door, and Fitz saw him jump up and follow him out to see the scenery.

At this time, the dusk was about to pass, and the setting sun completely sank into the wilderness. There were only a few crimson and light purple clouds in the entire sky. As the sky darkened, the crimson and light purple clouds quietly turned into different levels of indigo, and then evolved again. Into a full and gorgeous navy blue, drifting leisurely in the sky like velvet satin.

"Why don't you go out together?" When Gemma looked outside in a daze, a man's voice sounded behind her without warning.

The girl trembled in fright, jumped up and pointed at the person behind and yelled incoherently. That person was Eric. Taste slowly.

After 10 minutes, Gemma's accusations gradually subsided.

"Okay, okay." Eric comforted her, but at the same time there was no lack of teasing. "I'm only going out for a few days, and I told you before that I'll be worried and nag like a frightened fawn... Does Fitz know your habit?"

"What does this have to do with Fitz!" Gemma protested instinctively. "And after you left, Fury asked us to report the situation directly to him, do you know how much I spent to deal with it?"

"Ignore him." Eric replied lightly. "You are my people. If he makes such a request again, let him come to me directly."

"But there must always be a reason, after all, you disappeared for half a month..."

"Then say so." Eric clapped his hands and found a reason casually. "The universe is so big, I want to see it."

"Good excuse." Gemma lightly sarcastically said that this matter has the final result.

"Apart from Mr. Fury's concern, is there anything else I need to know?" Eric asked, mentioning the blank period.

"Nothing else, but I think Fitz is weird. He said he figured it out, but I am still a little worried. I know Fitz, he is not a person who can hide his thoughts, but recently I have been a little unpredictable Let me know what he thinks." Speaking of the boy, Gemma was a little worried, and she said exactly what Fitz said not long ago, even imitating the tone of the voice.

"That means he has grown up." Eric smiled. "He's almost grown into a man psychologically after going through these things, and you've been involved in this process."

"Me?" Gemma's eyes were wide open, and she shrank back on the sofa with a nonchalant look. "My surname is not Foster, and I don't study astronomy." There was a slight resentment in her words. At this time, she looked like an ordinary girl, not that calm and composed female researcher.

"Don't be too critical of Gemma, you are Fitz's spiritual haven." Seeing the girl's appearance, Eric laughed softly. "Sometimes a man will go crazy because of fantasies, but after going crazy, he still has to go back to the closest person, that is his best destination."

"It's not fair, I never broke the tacit understanding!" Gemma complained immediately.

"Really?" Eric looked at the communication room meaningfully.

The girl quickly understood, and her face flushed immediately. Now she finally understood that her little secret hadn't been hidden from the target's eyes. This made her both guilty of her private behavior and grateful for not being exposed in public to make her friends disgusted. When thinking this way, she suddenly realized that she had some emotions in her heart, except that she had no fear at all. At this time, Gemma realized that she had already regarded herself as a member of Eric's team, so she was able to be so calm.

This realization gave her a feeling of relief, as if she had finally finished watching a depressing and tragic movie and returned to a relaxed and interesting daily life.At this time, when she listened to Eric's chatter again, she would not have another feeling.

"...A man is like a bird in a cage. It is easy to open the cage, but not every bird is willing to fly back."

"Enough, stop! Don't preach!" The girl who put down her bag rolled her eyes and interrupted her. "It sounds like my dad is lecturing me."

"You can call me Dad if you want." Eric shrugged and said he had no objection. "One last suggestion..."

He glanced at the gate, and two people outside were walking back from the side of the road, so he raised his voice slightly so that the people outside could also hear.

"Work in the lab in the future, change clothes in your own room, don't worry about unreasonable things - as far as I know, Emil and Leo are good people."

Just as Gemma curled her lips, two members of the regiment who had gone out to watch the walk came in one after another, just in time to hear Eric's words.

"Why are you talking about this again!" Bronski was quite dissatisfied, feeling that he had been misunderstood for no reason. "I've never peeked at someone changing clothes, no matter who it is!"

"Me neither." Fitz argued rashly. "And there's nothing to see about Gemma."

He originally meant to say that the two were too familiar, but the girl sounded different.

"Fitz!" She shouted the boy's name angrily, stood up and kicked his calf hard, the painful Fitz jumped up with an "ow" and rubbed his leg desperately.

"I agree with the others, but you're getting the father wrong about one thing, he didn't grow up at all."

Gemma emphasized the new address for Eric, looking at the girl's back, Fitz was at a loss.

"What happened to her, and why did she call you father?" the boy asked inexplicably.

"Hey, how do you want me to answer this question, Fitz?" After teasing others, Eric spread his hands helplessly, with a look of hatred on his face, but he was happy in his heart. (to be continued~^~)
