CHAPTER 66: The Vulture

S.H.I.E.L.D

Nick Fury looked sad.

Now it seems that this is counterproductive, he doesn't know if Tony Stark will be able to be included in the Avengers in the future.

Tony was always his first choice.

But now Nick Fury just wanted to keep quiet. After thinking about it from yesterday until now, he couldn't figure out where he went wrong.

Even though Hill went to check, she couldn't find anything.

The only person Tony has been in touch with recently is a certain writer.

So Nick Fury focused on investigating this writer and found that the other party's family background was extremely clean.

This writer and Tony also met at a party.

They are both the type who like to play around, and Nick Fury thinks it's normal for them to be together.

"Is the Avengers initiative just going to die like this?"

Nick Fury is a bit reluctant, so to speak, this is a plan he has been planning for many years and decided to implement after defying all opinions.

If it ends before it begins, he will have nothing to speak of when he becomes Secretary of State in the future.

"Tony gives up now, Dr. Banner remains under observation, who else?"

At Nick Fury's heart, he is constantly selecting suitable candidates.

Suddenly, the office door was opened directly.

It's Maria Hill again!

Nick Fury just wanted to go crazy.

That's why Hill discovered her little secret, and now she's doing it again.

But after seeing the look on Hill's face.

Nick Fury noticed.

This time something really urgent happened.

"Agent Hill, what happened?"

"Director, a scientific expedition in the Arctic Ocean has found the body of Steve Rogers.

"What!?"

Nick Fury didn't stay calm for a moment and got up from his chair.

Someone inconceivably asked, "Are you sure about this?"

Steve Rogers, or as everyone knows him, Captain America

A World War II hero.

You could almost say he was the spiritual pillar of that generation, and everyone knows it.

Even today, there is a museum dedicated to him to commemorate his heroic deeds.

But it's a shame that in order to end the HYDRA conspiracy, he crashed a fighter plane into the Arctic Ocean.

And it just disappeared for 70 years.

During this time, Howard led the search and rescue team and searched almost every possible location.

In the end, only the Tesseract was found.

As a result, they have now found Captain America.

This situation was simply incomprehensible to him.

Hill nodded emphatically and then showed the tablet to Nick Fury.

There is only one image, inside a layer of ice, there was something.

It looked like the inside of an airplane.

A round shield appeared in one corner, and there was also the iconic red five-pointed star on the shield.

Not far from that shield, a blond man was there, as if he was sleeping peacefully.

If you can find a more appropriate adjective.

Nick Fury's hands couldn't help but tremble when he saw this scene.

He couldn't calm down at this moment.

Not because Captain America was discovered, but because he finally found a suitable leader for the Avengers.

"No, Agent Hill."

"He's not a corpse."

"Isn't it a corpse?"

Hill was a little surprised. He had been frozen for 70 years, so he no longer looked like a corpse.

Fossil? Frozen meat? Expired popsicles?

Hill couldn't find an adjective for a moment.

"Prepare the rescue team immediately, I'll tell you as I walk."

Along the way, Nick Fury finally convinced Hill that what they had found was a living person rather than a cold corpse.

Captain America is not an ordinary person, but the only man to have received the super soldier serum.

When Howard persisted in searching for Captain America, it was because he believed that Captain America was not dead.

And he also made a promise in front of Agent Carter that if Rogers fell headfirst into the glacier and got frozen.

It will go into hibernation state.

Just find him to revive him.

Over the years, SHIELD has never given up searching for Captain America's whereabouts, and now, they've finally found him.

After boarding the plane, Nick Fury took out his personal cell phone and found a number he hadn't dialed in many years.

"We found him."

After connecting, such a short sentence caused a burst of sobs on the other side.

This person is none other than Captain America's girlfriend at the time and one of the founders of SHIELD.

Peggy Carter.

"Bring him back."

The brief dialogue further strengthened Nick Fury's confidence.

Maybe he would refute what others said, but he wouldn't if he were Carter, because it was Carter who put him in that position.

"Zarpar!"

Wearing all the latest gear, Nick Fury was ready.

It didn't take long for everyone to come to the glacier.

Nick Fury looks at Captain America frozen like a popsicle, in layers and layers of thick clothing.

The scientist in front suddenly showed unbelievable admiration: "Unbelievable, there is a vital answer."

"Captain America really is alive."

All team members involved in the rescue celebrated.

Even Nick Fury smiled in relief.

Even though he was so sure of what he had just said, the moment everything was finally announced, it would all be considered dust.

"Build a fake room in New York City."

"Everything must be in accordance with the things of his time."

Although Nick Fury failed in Tony's case, there was no mistake in his command.

This incident quickly spread to senior management in the United States.

Right now, some people in senior management are happy, and some are higher up...

What happened here, Arthur, who was going to Gwen's presentation with Jean, didn't know.

Not to mention whether he knew or not, even if he did know, he wouldn't care much.

Compared to Captain America, he still prefers Iron Man.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have rescued Tony at that critical moment.

Soon, the two arrived at a square, surrounded by many people.

Gwen and her band on stage are ready.

Gwen played the drum first, and the other members quickly followed.

A passionate rock sound instantly lifted the audience's mood, and many people shivered unconsciously.

Jean also praised: "I heard that Gwen played drums before, but I didn't expect Gwen to play so well."

"Sim."

Arthur also praised without hesitation.

Gwen on stage, as if she could hear the praise from the two, smiled knowingly and continued to play.

But at the climax of the performance, a violent explosion suddenly occurred at a bank not far from the end of the street.

Everyone present was also shocked by the sudden explosion.

After all, we are in New York.

All citizens basically have PTSD, and the moment they heard this sound, they subconsciously started running away.

All the bands on the field also started to feel uncomfortable.

Gwen frowned and looked at the flames in the distance, and immediately realized: "Pack your things and leave."

"I'm going to find my friend."

"Gwen, you need to be careful too."

Gwen jumped off the stage quickly. If it were before, it would certainly surprise others, but now who has time to care about how she got off the stage.

Running away is more important!

Arthur and Jean also frowned and looked in that direction.

Jean's expression was the worst.

Gwen also ran over at this time: "Jean, we can't expose your identity as a mutant in this kind of place, let me go take a look."

"Don't worry, Gwen can take care of it." Arthur said.

As the three of them were talking, a winged figure flew out from the flames.

It can be clearly seen that he is still carrying a bag. The zipper of the bag is not closed and dollar bills were constantly falling out.

"Was this the man who did this?"

Arthur took out his cell phone and asked, "Red Queen, who is this guy?"

[Master, that man is Edrian Toomes, an electronics engineer.]

Electronics engineer?

Jean and Gwen then looked at the phone.

Are electronics engineers really that good?

Without waiting for the two to raise their own questions, the Red Queen went on to explain: [He once asked a businessman friend for financial support for his own research."]

[But the businessman later betrayed him, which led to his imprisonment, and he managed to escape from prison not long ago with his own knowledge and completed his own research on the flying device.]

[The businessman died at his hands, and his goal now is to raise more money and continue his research.]

After hearing the Red Queen's explanation, another famous enemy of Spider-Man immediately appeared in Arthur's mind.

Vulture!

It seems like the Vulture of this universe appeared very quickly.

"It's wrong to do bad things no matter what, and even to disrupt my show."

"I'll teach you a good lesson. Jean, you and Arthur should find a place to hide first, so you won't be affected."

Jean wanted to help Gwen.

But Gwen was still serious.

Mutants like Jean, if they act in public, can easily attract the attention of the authorities.

Arthur also touched Jean: "Trust Gwen."

Jean nodded.

Gwen went into the darkness to complete the disguise and then swung on her spider web towards the Vulture in the sky.

The Vulture did not notice her arrival.

Instead, he looked back excitedly: "How about it, my newly designed bomb?"

"There is no residue left from the bombing against you."

"Hey, you look really old. You should be retiring at this age."

Gwen's flamboyant style, as always, has almost become her trademark.

"Spider-Woman?"

"Oh, it's just a nosy girl!"

As he said that, Vulture took out two bomb-like things from the backpack on his waist and threw them at Gwen.

Gwen's Spider-sense immediately alerted her to the danger.

Immediately, he shot spider webs like flying darts at the two bombs. The bombs exploded in the air and produced an impact wave.

"This thing's power isn't bad at all, do you want to sell it to me?"

"Stop playing around, Spider-Woman, didn't you come to get me? It's a shame for you that I can fly."

"Have you ever seen a spider catch a bird?"

The vulture knows his current advantage in the air.

If he can't win, he can just fly away.

Is it possible that a spider web can be thrown into the sky?

Vulture concluded that there was nothing Spider-Woman could do, so he flapped his wings and flew into the sky.

Its speed is very fast.

"Ah~ Shet!"

"He's running away!"

Gwen also uttered a rare curse word.

This was learned from Jean, who sometimes does this, but Gwen doesn't like it.

This time it was something that was simply said inadvertently.

[Miss Gwen, you can take him down with the spider drone.]

"Spider drone, do I still have this function?"

Gwen was a little curious.

Immediately, he looked at his wrists in the image given by the red queen, and there were two spider patterns there.

Gwen thought it was some kind of decoration.

But soon the two spider patterns seemed to come to life, rose up and flew away.

The flying speed of the two spider drones was obviously faster than the Vulture, and they quickly chased after it.

Two small bullets were fired, directly hitting the key nodes of the Vulture's mechanical wings.

The wings spread out of control, revealing that he had stumbled through the sky and rolled towards the ground.

If he falls from that height, he will die.

Seeing that he was about to become a puddle of flesh, Vulture cried out for help in fear, just as he was about to approach the ground.

Gwen's web caught her feet and saved her life.

"Phew~ Thanks, Spider-Woman."

"You're welcome, just remember not to do bad things next time."

"But of course..."

With that said, Vulture reached into his pocket, ready to grab the bomb and deliver a fatal blow to Spider-Woman.

But this time, Gwen won't be as merciful as she was with the lizard.

She released an electric current directly onto the vulture, and a powerful high-voltage electric current directly electrified it and burned its entire body.

"Don't try to make small movements in front of me."

At this time, George also guided people away from the place.

When he looked at Spider-Woman again, there wasn't as much hostility on his face.

Gwen also said at the right time: "Hey, we cooperated to arrest another criminal."

"Captain Stacy, shouldn't you thank me?"

"Thank you, Spider-Woman."

"But you could be kind next time."

George looked at the fainted Vulture with some pity in his eyes.

No matter how old he was, he was electrocuted like that.

Fortunately, I'm still alive.

"I was once very kind and saved his life, but he didn't seem to like it very much."

Gwen opened her hand and projected that scene from her own perspective.

After everyone saw it, there was a flash of anger in their eyes.

This is so outrageous!

Others saved him, but he was willing to harm others.

After George learned the truth, he slapped him and said, "Get up, Adrian Toomes!"

Even George himself didn't know why he was so angry.

That slap made even Gwen feel pain.

Just now he clearly told her to be more gentle.

This slap also had a miraculous effect, the Vulture woke up feeling dizzy.

When he saw a group of police officers, he knew he was going to jail again.

"Don't worry, we'll take good care of you in prison this time."

The evil smiles of the surrounding police officers immediately made the villain feel strange: "You...what are you going to do to me?"

When a bad person does evil, you can at least imagine the extent of the other person's evil.

But when good people do evil, all that's left is fear.

Definitely, the law in the United States is that lynching tongues are not allowed.

But that doesn't mean the police have nothing to do.

On the contrary, they have many methods. After a painful meal, the hospital can't find any problems.

Gwen watched the Vulture being taken away and waved lightly, "Bye bye..."

Not far away, Arthur and Jean smiled at each other as they watched the scene.
