The next day, Agent Natasha, dressed in a black tight leather jacket, finally reported back.
Nick Fury couldn't help but snorted when he saw the newcomer. "How was your trip in Miami? Are you finally willing to give up your vacation and come back to work?"
Natasha didn't say anything either. She stood there straight with her hands behind her back, looking straight ahead, pretending she didn't hear anything. Anyway, both of them knew the truth about this matter, and one of them took the opportunity to relax and have a vacation at public expense, while the other turned a blind eye (she couldn't even open one if she wanted to!), and regarded it as compensation for Natasha's hard work over the years, and didn't pursue the matter.
But such a big incident happened in the past few days, and Dio was involved in it, which naturally became Natasha's dereliction of duty. Even if she was there at the time, she might not have played any role...
"It looks like you had a good rest. You look radiant. If Coulson knew about this, he would probably bother me again."
After taking a look at the famous Black Widow, Nick Fury was also inspired. Natasha has always maintained her youthful appearance, but after not seeing her for a while, she feels like she is ten years younger. Now even if someone says she is a girl in her early 20s, some people will probably believe it. It is really amazing.
Such obvious effects could not have been simply due to a few days of vacation, but were of course the result of Dior's miraculous diet therapy. Don't forget that Natasha embezzled 2 million U.S. dollars before she left, and most of the money naturally went into Dior's pocket. But the effect was also extremely amazing. In addition to these superficial changes, the toxins and hidden injuries accumulated in Natasha's body had almost been cured. This was the biggest reason why she seemed to have been reborn.
Now that the money has been almost spent, Natasha is willing to come back. Otherwise, once the remaining funds are handed over, she will suffer a huge loss.
So in this matter, Dio and Natasha are both winners, and only SHIELD lost 2 million. But if you think about it carefully, this deal is not a loss. Natasha is one of them, and Dio is exactly what SHIELD wants to develop... ...
"Alright, this matter is over. You will not be held accountable for your dereliction of duty, but you must complete the next task as soon as possible."
"Yes, Chief!"
Natasha finally stopped pretending to be dead. In fact, she felt a little bored during the vacation. Dealing with the pigs who came up to her every day wasted a lot of her time and made her irritable. Even if Coulson didn't contact her, she would come back in the next two days. After all, in her life, only when she was on a mission could she feel that she was truly alive, not a worthless walking corpse.
So when she heard that Nick Fury had a task for her to complete, she agreed so readily without even asking about the specific content of the task.
Nick Fury nodded with satisfaction. This was the decisive Black Widow he knew. She had never let him down, no matter how difficult the task was.
"Take a look at this document first. You don't have to stand. Sit down."
Natasha simply took the document handed over by Nick Fury and sat down to look at it. Her eyebrows raised continuously when she saw it.
Although she has been in Miami these days, her agents have been reporting to her all the time. She just didn't expect that Dio had caused so many things while she was not paying attention. Especially the other abilities exposed in this incident were highlighted, which was surprising!
After Natasha finished reading, Nick Fury didn't hesitate and gave the order directly: "Your next task is to convince the other party to join S.H.I.E.L.D. As long as the conditions are not excessive, you can agree to them. If you can't make a decision, report to me."
When Natasha heard about this mission, she frowned for the first time since she entered the room.
"The other party doesn't seem to have a good impression of SHIELD, and the results of the several contacts were not pleasant. In addition, he is obsessed with money. I don't think the conditions we offer can impress him."
"If this mission could be accomplished easily, it would not have been assigned to you. Agent Natasha, you are now the person in the entire SHIELD who has the deepest relationship with the other party and knows the target best. I believe you can complete the mission successfully. In addition, if it is just a matter of money, it is not unsolvable."
Although SHIELD, where Nick Fury works, is very rich, every expense must be reasonable and an explanation must be given to each country. If an agent is paid several million dollars a month, it is absolutely impossible. But if they can get the support of some unlucky guy who is currently lying in the hospital, perhaps this will not be a problem at all.
Coincidentally, when promoting that plan, Nick Fury also regarded that guy as the designated candidate. Doesn't he like to be a superhero who punishes evil and promotes good? Doesn't he like to show off his presence and be in the limelight? That's not even close to what he has!
"If that's the case, I can give it a try."
"It's not just a try. The other party's ability is very important. You must complete the task!"
"Yes, Chief!"
"In addition to this mission, you also need to keep this information. He is my second target. Once our people find his whereabouts, you will also need to go and persuade him to join us."
Looking at Director Nick Fury's serious expression, Natasha flipped through the information. It showed an image of a scientific researcher who looked honest and simple, and behind it was a list of the academic honors he had received and the scientific research results he had achieved. He was definitely a genius student.
"Bruce Banner?"
Natasha was a little confused and didn't understand why a weak researcher needed her to help personally, but when she turned to the next page, she was immediately stunned.
He was a huge green-skinned giant, and his muscles were so strong that one could feel the terrifying power hidden in his body even through the photo!
"Hulk?"
"Is this the same person?"
"That's right. Dr. Bruce Banner was originally a very outstanding and talented physicist. However, an accident during an experiment caused him to be exposed to a large amount of gamma rays, which transformed him into this monster. According to the report of General Ross who has been looking for him, they call this Hulk-like Dr. Banner... Hulk!"
"So who should I convince, Dr. Banner or this... Hulk?" Natasha finally felt the difficulty of this task.
"Or maybe both. Dr. Banner will only transform into the Hulk when he is angry. So for the sake of your own safety, it's best not to try to provoke him." Nick Fury spread his hands, his eyes full of trust.
