"How long will he be awake?"
Outside the nursing room, Nick looked through the window at Johnny Blaze lying on the hospital bed and asked Coulson.
It had been a week since Hawkeye discovered him, and during this time Johnny had been in a coma, so they could not know exactly what the situation was like at the time. They could only judge from the text messages intercepted from Joseph's mobile phone that Colin Blake had not lost this extremely limited information.
"The doctor said it will be within the next hour or two," Coulson replied.
After hearing this, Nick glanced at the ward again and told Coulson, "He is an important clue for us to understand the intelligence. Don't be too rough during the interrogation."
He still has some ideas about Johnny, but whether to implement them requires more observation and trial.
"I see."
Coulson nodded and opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Nick looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Coulson, don't take your punishment too seriously. Even if I had gone there myself, I wouldn't have been able to handle it as well as you did. After a while, I will naturally find an opportunity to promote you back to..."
"I have no objection to my punishment, sir!" Coulson interrupted, raised his head, and said seriously, "But I think we can't let it go on like this. We must establish a special force to deal with this kind of super-powered people, otherwise..."
"I'm well aware of this and am working on it, Coulson." Nick took over and said, "Although the Security Council rejected my Avengers proposal before, the incident in New Mexico has shaken their minds. When I find a chance and change the name, the Avengers can be re-established."
Nick was speaking his mind, and Coulson was listening in silence. After a while, he said, "I know your expectations for the Avengers, sir. I also believe that after the Avengers are successfully established, they will be able to handle the Extraordinary incident very well."
"But I think we should have ordinary people or trained agents who can be special forces to suppress extraordinary people of that level, rather than relying solely on the special characteristics of the Avengers themselves to fight."
"Do you think the Avengers are not trustworthy?" Nick asked seriously.
"No, I'm afraid that after they fail, we will be helpless in the face of that situation." Coulson answered, looking directly into Nick's eyes.
"It seems that incident has had a greater impact on you than I thought, Coulson."
Nick stared at him and said something. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I roughly understand what you mean, but Coulson, if you want your idea to become a reality, it takes more than just my approval."
"To develop weapons specifically for dealing with those special superpowers, and to manufacture and test-assemble them in small batches, the manpower and resources required are not a small amount. Unless the Security Council or the five permanent members deem it necessary, there is basically no chance of it being approved."
Coulson paused, looking a little disappointed but also expecting it, and continued, "But since you insist that it is necessary, I will also bring up this proposal at the meeting. However, don't hold your expectations too high."
"That's enough, Commander Nick!" Coulson said with some surprise.
He had already prepared himself for his proposal to be rejected, but now, it was better than his best expectations.
Nick stepped forward and patted Coulson on the shoulder. He turned his gaze to look at Johnny who had regained consciousness in the nursing room, and winked, saying, "I'll leave him to you."
"clear!"
Coulson nodded vigorously.
…
"Where is this place?"
Johnny regained consciousness and looked around. He could hear the ticking sound of monitoring equipment and was wearing a hospital gown. Perhaps this was a hospital
But who sent him
He remembered that he should have lost in the final battle, and then Mephisto suddenly appeared and manipulated him to fight against the Witch Heart Demon and the wizard. In the end, it seemed that Mephisto also lost, and then...
My brain went blank and my memory stopped.
Without further investigation, he stood up and sat up, feeling relaxed and without any pain.
However, something seemed to be wrong. I couldn't feel the power in my body... No, it was like there was something blocking it.
"flame!"
He growled and thrust out his hand, trying to summon a ray of hellfire as he had done before.
But, nothing.
He tried a few more times unwillingly, but the result was still the same.
Snap!
The door to the ward opened, and Johnny stopped trying and looked up.
A middle-aged man wearing a black suit, slightly bald, and with a favorable look, walked in.
"I'm glad you're awake, Mr. Johnny." Coulson said as he walked to the bedside.
"Who... are you?" Johnny asked with a frown.
"Phil Coulson, here are my IDs."
Coulson handed over a small certificate, Johnny took it and looked at it twice.
"SHIELD? It looks like you are a spy organization. Although I have never heard of it, what do you want to know from me?"
"We are a special organization that specializes in dealing with supernatural matters. Generally speaking, we are not known to the public." Coulson explained first, and then said: "As for what we want to know, Mr. Johnny, I hope you can tell us everything you know. This may be closely related to world safety!"
"Is the world safe?" Johnny looked a little dazed. For a moment, he thought of the memory of the old cowboy turning into ashes and disappearing in front of him. Soon, he said in a dull tone, "Okay, but I don't know much."
"… After that, I don't know anything. Even my power seems to be sealed and I can't use it at all."
Johnny told the story from the beginning. Coulson listened and frowned as he asked, "What is the function of that thing called the Saint Vanganza Contract?"
"I don't know about that, but Carter Slay betrayed it just to prevent the contract from falling into Mephisto's hands." Johnny replied.
"I understand. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Johnny. If you need anything, just let me know and we will do our best to meet your needs."
Coulson gave some instructions and left in a hurry.
The information obtained from Johnny is extremely valuable, whether it is the cooperation between Colin Blake and the Witch Heart Demon, their power methods, or the death of Mephisto's incarnation.
However, this also brings more problems.
They need to investigate as soon as possible what capabilities the Saint Vanganza Contract that is said to be able to destroy the world has, and what exactly Colin Blake and the Witch Heart Demon are planning.
Coulson strode into Nick's office, and at this time, the surveillance video recorded in the nursing room was playing on Nick's computer.
Looking at Coulson who hurried in, Nick ordered: "I already know the situation. It is your responsibility to investigate Colin Blake's location and his purpose, Coulson."
"I see."
Coulson nodded, and after requesting some manpower, he exited the office.
Nick looked at the closed door, thought for a moment, picked up the phone and called Sharon Carter.
It has been nearly half a month since he infiltrated the Jintek Group. If there is still no definite information, given the current severe shortage of manpower, he plans to temporarily stop the investigation in this regard.
