Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 32 Do You Want To Join?
With his schoolbag on one shoulder, Colt arrived at the coffee shop where he often met Zhao with ease.

Taking out the ID card from his pocket, Colt handed it to Zhao.

Zhao raised his eyebrows, but didn't reach out to pick it up: "Sit down first, let's have a good talk."

Colt frowned, but didn't object, but pulled out his chair and sat down.

"First of all, I really want to thank you." Zhao said in a very serious and formal tone, "It is thanks to you this time that we can solve the problem."

"No need." Colt interrupted the other party with a blunt attitude, "I said, I do all this for myself, even if I help the Avengers, it is for myself. I know that if the Avengers really If it fails, the life of an ordinary person like me will not be easy."

"Okay, okay." Zhao smiled, not angry with Colt's attitude, he changed the subject and continued, "But, do you really think you are an ordinary person?"

"What do you mean?" Colt suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Zhao put down the cup in his hand, with a serious expression: "Let me ask you, what do you think is super power."

"Super power?" Colt was puzzled by Zhao's question. Isn't this common sense?
He thought for a while and said, "If you want to give a strict definition, maybe you can say that you can have abilities that ordinary people don't have, such as... well, I don't know what examples to give, but this kind of thing , is it necessary to discuss it?"

"Of course." Zhao chuckled twice, "Then, do you think that in high school, you have mastered almost the entire knowledge of the existing physics system, hacked into Iron Man's firewall, and cracked the code of Doctor Doom? Did you do it?"

"What are you trying to say?" Colt was suddenly at a loss.

"This kind of ability is generally called super brain power." Zhao ignored Colt's panic and continued to explain.

"But it's useless, isn't it? Even if you classify it as a superpower, this kind of ability is useless at all. He doesn't have any fighting ability at all!" Colt really panicked, he had no idea what Zhao wanted to do. what to do.

"Really?" Zhao Bubu pressed, "I believe you have carefully read the information Tony gave you, don't you really have a little understanding of what people with super brain power can do? Or Say, what do you think makes me an Avenger?"

Colt was silent for a while, he indeed already knew, but, what is the use of this so-called super power with almost no combat ability?Could it be possible to "think" the enemy to death with his brain?
Finally, he spoke with difficulty: "What exactly do you want?"

"Actually, I didn't think about it." Zhao smiled gently, "I just wanted to ask you if you want to be an avenger."

"Being an Avenger?" Colt was completely dumbfounded. He was just an ordinary high school student a few days ago, and then he was suddenly involved in the battle between Reed and Mordok Dum, and then he received a An invitation from the Avengers?Is the span too large?
"I'm serious. Your previous performance has proved that you are fully qualified to join the Avengers as a new member. Of course, considering your current ability and training level, we will definitely not let you deal with any danger. Besides, we are not an official organization after all, we don’t have such strict rules and regulations, and more often it’s just a non-governmental organization that helps each other.” Zhao explained, “I think you need to think carefully. Of course, decide The power is in your own hands, and this time I will definitely not make any decisions that affect you."

The two stared at each other in silence.

After a long time, Colt finally spoke with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I feel that I don't have the ability to bear the responsibility of being an Avenger."

Without waiting for Zhao to speak, he continued: "Perhaps you can think that I am cowardly, or you can think that I am cowardly. I really don't think I can take on the responsibility of protecting this world like an avenger. I really can't imagine that I To shoulder this responsibility, I really can’t do it.”

Zhao nodded. To Colt's surprise, he didn't mean any accusations. He just said plainly, "I understand."

"You..." Colt thought for a while, and asked, "Won't you accuse me? For example, there is no sense of responsibility."

"Why should I blame you?" Zhao asked back, "No one has ever stipulated that one must be a superhero if one has the ability. Superheroes are never determined solely by ability. There are too many people in this world who have superpowers, but Only a few people choose to be a superhero, and that's normal. We never force anyone to be a superhero, as long as they don't use their superpowers to do evil. As for your choice, I think it's a very important thing. It's a normal thing, and while it's a pity for me personally, I think it's been a good experience working with you."

After speaking, he picked up the ID card that Colt put on the table: "However, if you decline this invitation, I will take it back."

"Okay." Colt nodded, but his mood was not what he thought before. After completely breaking the line with the Avengers, he returned to his former ease. Instead, he seemed to have a slight regret.

"Don't think about it. With my ability, I don't even know how I will die when I join the Avengers. Isn't it good to live a mediocre life?" Colt finally made up his mind to stand up and leave. .

"That's right." Zhao suddenly called out to Colt who got up, which made Colt's heart sink.

"I want to tell you one more thing. Although the Avengers have absolutely not disclosed any information about you, you still inevitably received some attention due to the previous arrangement of manpower to protect your family. I think there will be people in the near future come to you."

"Find me?"

"Yes, but you don't need to worry too much. I think their purpose should be the same as mine. They just want to recruit you into their team." Zhao replied with a smile, "Don't underestimate your ability."

"SHIELD?" Colt finally understood.

"Yes, I think it won't be long before they come to you with a hidden identity." Zhao replied.

"Do I need to promise them?" Colt hesitated.

"This is your business, you can decide for yourself, just like this time, I will not give you any advice or guidance." Zhao said, "But I can only tell you that if you refuse, don't worry about the follow-up. There are other problems."

"Okay, thank you, I'm leaving." Colt made up his mind, turned and left without stopping any longer.

……

Seeing Colt's leaving back, the blond man with sunglasses sitting at the next table put down the newspaper in his hand, walked up to Zhao and sat down: "I thought you would tell him Valeria's identity."

"No need." Zhao took a sip of coffee, "Let him decide on this kind of matter, and deliberate guidance will not have any good results. Besides, if you really want to increase the success rate, why don't you ask Captain America to come forward? Is it much better than my image?"

The captain took off his sunglasses and smiled awkwardly.

"Actually." Zhao sighed, "Although he rejected us this time, considering his ability and interpersonal relationship, I don't think he can live the ordinary life he wants. So, at least let him live a normal life in his dream Before you wake up, let's sleep for a while..."
