So many "coincidences" added together become an absolute conspiracy.
Nick Fury immediately issued a mission: "The two of you put down all the tasks on your hands now, focus on these exposed targets, and investigate this matter with all your strength. I want to know how many spies have infiltrated. In addition, we don't know which agents are trustworthy, so we can't provide you with personnel support for the time being, and you can't disclose this mission to anyone privately. Finally, pay attention to safety. Once danger occurs, protect yourself first. I don't want to lose any more trustworthy agents."
Natasha and Coulson immediately looked serious and accepted this difficult task. They found it difficult to calm down when they thought that their former companions might be spies instigated by the enemy.
At this time, Natasha remembered something and asked again, "What about Dio? Should we tell him what we have found out? I think he seems to have a way to find this group of people, and he also told me that I can contact him if I need his help. The other party killed his parents and disguised the scene as an accident, which makes him and us stand on the same side in this confrontation. Perhaps this is the best opportunity to pull him into that plan."
Nick Fury immediately began to think about it. He had to admit that Natasha's proposal was very tempting. If successful, it could be said to kill two birds with one stone. It could not only solve the problem of lack of manpower, but also bring the other party into his camp.
But the power Dio displayed was a little too dangerous. Nick Fury had always been wary of him. Once this power got out of control, even he couldn't find a way to limit and stop it.
This is also one of the reasons why he has been trying to establish the Avengers. Capable people are always unruly. If someone has a problem, then other people are needed to stop it. Balance is the most important thing.
"You can decide the scale of this matter yourself, but for the time being we have to solve it ourselves." Nick Fury said after thinking for a while.
Natasha nodded, but still didn't tell her about the snail.
The secret meeting ended quickly, and when Natasha and Coulson went out, they ran into Alexander Pierce.
"It seems that Nick Fury is exploiting his employees again. What important task has he assigned to you this time?" Alexander Pierce laughed and spoke bad words about Nick Fury with a normal expression. He, the former director of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., was probably the only one who dared to tease Director Nick Fury like this.
"You should know that we all have a confidentiality agreement and we have to keep our mouths shut every time we go on a mission. If you really want to know, you should ask Director Nick Fury."
Coulson replied with a smile, although he personally felt that Alexander Pierce could not be from that side. After all, it was too outrageous that "the former director of SHIELD was a member of Hydra."
But this matter is of great importance, and he will never reveal it to anyone.
If Director Nick Fury felt that Alexander Pierce was trustworthy, he would naturally say that there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.
Alexander Pierce was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he patted Coulson on the shoulder with appreciation and said, "Very good, you didn't disappoint me. An agent should act like an agent. If you really want to say it, I should doubt Nick Fury's judgment."
"The mission is important, you guys go quickly, I have something to talk to Nick Fury about."
Coulson and Natasha didn't think there was anything wrong, so they looked at each other and left.
After they left, Alexander Pierce's eyes suddenly became gloomy. His intuition told him that Nick Fury must have arranged a very important task, otherwise he would not have given it to Natasha and Coulson, two senior agents whom he trusted.
Moreover, he came here specifically to check the situation after receiving the news that Nick Fury had a secret meeting with the two men. There was no way he could not pay attention to it as Nick Fury used his authority as director to shut down all the surveillance facilities in the house.
Could it be that he noticed something
He frowned subconsciously, then took out his mobile phone and operated it for a while before straightening his clothes, putting a smile on his face again and walking towards Nick Fury's office.
Nick Fury was somewhat surprised to see Alexander coming.
"Sorry, I forgot to knock on the door." Although it sounded like an apology, in fact Alexander poured himself a glass of water very comfortably and sat on the sofa.
Nick Fury frowned, then smiled and said, "It's normal to forget for a while. After all, this place originally belonged to you."
Then he walked to the water dispenser and pressed another button. The fragrant coffee was brewed immediately. Then he pretended to be indifferent and walked to the sofa opposite Alexander and sat down.
Alexander was stunned for a moment, then said with an elusive smile: "This function didn't exist when I was in office. It seems that these agents nowadays are very good at pleasing people."
Nick Fury raised his glass and said meaningfully: "After all, times have changed. The old ways of the past are no longer applicable now. If we don't make changes, we will be eliminated."
Alexander immediately put down the cup in his hand and sighed, "It seems that my choice is correct, Nick. You are more adapted to this era than I am. Under your leadership, SHIELD will surely be able to realize the ideals it was originally established for."
"I hope I can live to see that day..." Nick Fury said self-deprecatingly, and then asked seriously: "Why did you come here suddenly without any prior notice? What happened?"
"Remember your application to the International Security Council regarding 'that plan'?"
"The Avengers?"
"That's right. The International Security Council thinks your idea is too extreme. It sounds too absurd to have superheroes form a team to protect world peace. Therefore, the International Security Council does not agree to your application. Unless you can provide solid evidence to prove that the existing armed forces and defense mechanisms on Earth are unable to deal with the enemies you imagined, such as alien invasions, then it is possible to convince those stubborn people in the Council."
In fact, not only the International Security Council, but even Alexander is not optimistic about the so-called "Avengers" plan. That's ridiculous, isn't it
"The future will prove who is right. Those old stubborn people will regret it sooner or later. Damn it!"
Nick Fury seemed a little indignant after hearing this, but he really couldn't produce any "evidence" to support the passage of this plan, because when the "evidence" arrived, it would be too late.
