Hydra Spy

Chapter 34 The Fantastic Four

After receiving the mission, Ward could only fabricate a reason to leave and bid farewell to Matt Fudge, and went to the contact point to find Agent Coulson, who was always in a suit and tie.

The meeting place was at an intersection in mid-Manhattan. Seeing Ward approaching, Coulson showed a nice smile. After Ward came to him, he glanced at Ward's left shoulder and asked in a concerned tone:
"Almost two months have passed, has the injured shoulder recovered?"

Ward clenched his fist with his right hand and hammered his left shoulder, and replied with a smile: "It's completely fine, no one has worsened the problem!"

"That's good." Coulson nodded reassuringly, and then asked curiously:
"I heard you were on a covert mission to Daredevil, how did it go?"

"Not bad..." Hearing Coulson mention his mission, Ward said with a little resentment:
"It's just that when I was about to finish, I received a mission suspension notice and came to help you complete the new mission."

Speaking of which, Ward asked suspiciously: "I think the new mission is a level 8 confidential mission. Could it be that Coulson has upgraded you?"

"No, I have just been promoted to level 7, how can I be promoted to level 8?" Coulson denied Ward's guess, and then happily explained:
"I was only temporarily granted level 8 confidentiality authority by Director Fury to complete this confidential task."

Ward smiled and said enviously: "The temporary one is also very powerful, I don't know when I will be promoted to level 6!"

Ward wasn't pretending, he was really envious, but after getting the answer, he felt more at ease.

In his impression, Agent Coulson was a level 7 agent until his death. If it changes now, the plot may change a lot in the future.

Ward doesn't really want the plot to change drastically. After all, he gains his abilities by knowing the plot. If the plot changes in the future, he won't be able to take advantage of it easily.

Of course, it is impossible to prevent changes, just like this mission of the Fantastic Four, it will inevitably cause many changes.

This is normal, otherwise it wouldn't be normal if the Fantastic Four appeared and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Coulson drove a S.H.I.E.L.D. Chevrolet sedan, and since Ward was two grades lower, the driver's duties fell to him.

After giving the car keys to Ward, Coulson began to describe the specific actions of the mission.

"Different from your previous monitoring missions, this time we will contact the Fantastic Four with an official image, understand the source of their abilities, and form a good relationship."

Ward sat in the driver's seat, inserted the key into the hole, and said, "It doesn't sound very complicated."

The process Coulson said is basically what Ward learned. It is exactly the same when Coulson contacts Tony Stark who has just built the steel suit, but it needs to be more obvious.

This is not surprising. Compared with Iron Man, the appearance of the Fantastic Four is not covered up at all. The appearance of the four of them directly appeared on the news screen. As the news deepened, the origins of the names of the Fantastic Four were all reported. come out.

Just like the first superhero Captain America Steve Rogers, everyone knows the existence of the Fantastic Four and these four righteous superheroes.

This also determines that SHIELD's attitude must be very correct, and it can't just send an agent to monitor and observe, just like Daredevil.

Coulson put on his seat belt and said seriously: "This is an epoch-making event. S.H.I.E.L.D. must grasp the situation and establish a good relationship with the Fantastic Four to prevent them from having any accidents."

Ward didn't speak any more, and drove to the Baxter Building of the Fantastic Four.

It was different from the deserted feeling when he came last time, now the place is full of spectators and journalists, even though the Fantastic Four have entered the building for a long time, they are still guarding the door, wanting to watch the excitement or Some information was interviewed and published in their own newspapers.

Ward parked the car, and he and Coulson came to the main entrance of the building, verified their credentials to the police who were still guarding the entrance of the building, and successfully entered the building.

This was the second time Ward came in, but it was completely different from the previous sneaky observations. This time he walked in directly, without worrying about any monitoring, which made him slightly sigh that it was really good to have an official identity.

The two took the elevator to the 35th floor of the building, and soon after entering, they saw the four members of the Fantastic Four, and—

Many of them are dressed in suits and leather shoes like them, and you can tell at a glance that they are people from the government who don't know which department.

"There are two more people here, hey two, let me guess which government department you are from, the U.S. superpower management department? Or the World Security and Defense Agency?"

Seeing Coulson and Ward walk in, Johnny the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four walked towards them, looked at the two with a smile, and said with his own guess.

Seeing this, Coulson and Ward both took out their documents and put them in front, and then Coulson said with a smile:

"We are from the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Agency, which is an independent department. I am Agent Phil Coulson, and this is Agent Grant Ward."

After introducing himself, Coulson pointed to Ward again.

Johnny let out a 'wow' and complained: "This name is really long!"

"We're solving this problem." Coulson shrugged, also feeling a little emotional about the name.

But there is no way, S.H.I.E.L.D. is just an internal name, not an official name, so when they come out to work, they can't say they are from S.H.I.E.L.D., they can only say their full names.

But compared to these, Coulson was actually more interested in Johnny's appearance, staring at him and observing Johnny carefully.

Sensing Coulson's fiery gaze, Johnny stretched out his hand to block Coulson's face, and then said helplessly:

"Don't look, I'm really not Steve Rogers, I just look like him. If you have seen the image and wax figure of the captain, you should know that we cannot be alone..."

Listen, apparently people often mistake him for Captain America.

Coulson nodded, but he was still very excited: "I know you are not Steve Rogers. Compared with him, you are much younger, and not as strong as him, and your personality is completely different. You are more like A child..."

"stop!"

Before Coulson finished speaking, Johnny interrupted him with his hand again, saying:

"Okay, I know all these characteristics, you don't have to tell them all, come here, there is a place here, you sit down and drink a glass of water first, and I will answer all your questions when no one comes again, okay?"

Johnny said and took Coulson and Ward aside, and stood with other government agents.

Coulson wanted to say something more, but he gave up seeing Johnny's tough attitude, and introduced to Ward who the people around him were a little bored.

"The two people over there are from the CIA, I know it, and the other one, it should be from the FBI... Hey, these people seem to be from the Ministry of Defense. What are they doing here?"

Listening to Coulson's introduction, Ward suddenly felt that his understanding of the world was still too one-sided.

He thought that the matter of superheroes was also related to S.H.I.E.L.D., but he didn't expect this to be a sweet pastry, which almost attracted the entire US government.

In this case, what will S.H.I.E.L.D. do?
