In Washington, DC, inside the National Security Council office building, Nick Fury stood in the center of the room with a serious expression, surrounded by twelve members of the Security Council.
Currently, S.H.E.L.D. was under the special supervision of the Security Council. At the same time, S.H.E.L.D.'s budget and special bills were all determined through this organization.
"Our world is under threat." This was Nick Fury's opening statement. As the most powerful country in the world, some officials did not comment on this statement.
Nick did not care about the others and continued. "Our world has always been under threat, I believe everyone knows that."
"There are many forces in this world that we cannot control, and some people can even easily destroy Earth." Nick's expression was very serious, his only useful eye was flashing with a vicious light.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am not trying to scare you." Nick signaled everyone to listen to him carefully.
"Our world is facing many problems, there are many things that we cannot explain, there are many unsolved mysteries that we do not know."
"There is a trench that even our best submarines cannot penetrate. Every time we drag our submarines back from that trench, there is only a pile of scrap metal left."
"The pictures of ruins sent back from Saturn's moon by the space agency let us know that there was once an advanced civilization that lived there, and what happened to them that caused an advanced civilization to disappear from the solar system."
"How glorious was their civilization, did they ever step foot on Earth, did they leave footprints on our planet?"
"That is all in the past. Maybe that civilization has already disappeared for thousands of years, we should not worry about history. Maybe it was war, maybe it was disease. Maybe it was war, maybe it was disease, all of these could have caused that civilization to disappear. "A member of the Security Council interrupted Nick.
"Yes, war or disease. What kind of war and disease was it! "Nick suddenly said loudly.
"Was it a cosmic war that spanned across the galaxy? Was it a terrible disease that spread across the universe?! "Nick's words sounded like he was trying to scare people.
"Everyone, we are not alone in the universe. Not only are there suspicious extraterrestrial creatures, but there are also things that we do not understand on Earth. "Nick emphasized.
"Are you talking about the incident where you were attacked by a giant bat and lost almost an entire Helicarrier?" An official asked.
At the same time, he used a projector the size of a USB flash drive that he carried with him to project the video on the wall.
The video was of Nick Fury's S.H.E.L.D. being attacked by Dicken Firth's flaming bat.
Nick's face twitched. These things shouldn't be in the hands of the Security Council.
"Director Nick, although I don't want to say this, it's obvious that you're hiding a lot of things from us," the official who played the video said.
His eyes looked very sharp. Although his hair was already white, he was still full of energy. His words were sharp and aimed at Nick's weak spot.
"S.H.E.L.D. itself should be under our supervision, but Director Nick, you have already exceeded your authority many times."
"We were not informed that the Vampire Bible was fake. The subsequent battle with the Blazing Bat was also not reported to the Security Council."
"What else are you hiding? I heard that you found a mystical little tool? Why didn't you inform us? "The old man's words were aggressive.
Nick Fury looked around and noticed that many people were whispering to each other. He said in a loud voice. He raised his voice and said, "I've reported the Vampire Bible to the Security Council member, Mr. Bugiuno, and then to the President.
We all believe that the fewer people who know about this, the better. As for the problem with the Blazing Bat, I believe the report is on everyone's desk. It's just that we're all gathered here for a meeting today, so none of you have the time to look at it.
"As for the mysterious tool you mentioned, forgive me for being blunt. Perhaps you should get a new intelligence officer. The secret of S.H.E.L.D. isn't something that just anyone can find out, "Nick Fury said righteously.
"Alright everyone, we're here to discuss, not to argue." Bugiuno stood up to smooth things over.
"Please restrain yourself. Nick Fury has been the most competent commander of S.H.E.L.D. for many years. We should trust him."
Bugiuno's words received the agreement of the others. The whispers quieted down.
"Nick, please continue." Bugiuno gestured for Nick to continue.
"Continuing the topic just now, I think we need a supernatural defense force to protect us." Nick finally got to the point.
"To deal with problems and enemies that can't be dealt with by conventional means."
"The Ten Ring Gang's kidnapping of Tony Stark in New York has already caused us to lose face. The Ten Ring Gang that was beaten by the Spear Game in China has now appeared on the streets of New York."
"I believe this incident will make the leader of the Spear Game laugh at us for an entire year. The Spear Game has formed its own special team."
"We should form one as well, to deal with unexpected incidents." Nick's words caused everyone in the room to fall into a brief silence. What Nick said was something that everyone had tried before.
"So, what's your plan, Nick? Who are your candidates? "A member of the Security Council asked.
"I've already sent people to look for Bruce Banner. I believe it won't be long before we get the news." Nick named the first candidate.
"Tony Stark. His father was the founder of S.H.E.L.D., and he has extraordinary talent. The Iron Man Armor and rich knowledge will make him another excellent candidate."
"And the excellent agents of S.H.E.L.D., Hawkeye and Black Widow will also be on this list." Nick continued.
"But this kind of power isn't enough. It's still too weak." A member raised a question. "What can these people do?"
"It's not just these people. We should expand the scale of our operation. Gentlemen, it's time for us to put aside our prejudices. I propose to rebuild the X-Men." Nick's words were earth-shattering.
"No! Impossible. "A voice cried out.
"You're crazy! You've forgotten how much trouble they've caused. "This was a female member. Her scream was as if someone had stepped on her foot.
"No, absolutely not. Mutants are too dangerous!" This was another old voice, and there was a hint of fear in his tone.
"Quiet, everyone, quiet!" Nick Fury shouted loudly, signaling for everyone to quiet down.
"You have to know that Mutants are a threat, Nick Fury." The old man who had been questioning Nick spoke again.
"Don't forget, we've tried to form a Mutant team before."
"Yes, I know. The earliest X-Men, Professor, Beast, and some others." Nick deliberately ignored some names.
"Others? Ha! Alright, even if it's others. "The old man seemed a little angry. He thought he was being played.
"Don't forget what the Hellfire Club did. They provoked a war and almost destroyed the world!" Along with the old man's roar, there were other voices of agreement.
"But don't forget that it was also Mutants who saved the war." Nick argued.
"Remember, it was Captain America who saved the war!" This sentence was said firmly by the blonde old man. "Mutants, they only offset their mistakes. They don't deserve to be called heroes."
Nick Fury felt a deep sense of frustration. Even someone in his position would often feel powerless.
In fact, it should be said that it was because he was in this position that it was easier for him to feel powerless. Moreover, there were always countless pairs of eyes staring at him. There were countless wolves staring at his position.
For example, the information that the old man had just taken out clearly stated that there was a nail in S.H.E.L.D.. This almost put Nick in a passive position.
A person in his position had to have great faith. His heart must be firm and not easily shaken. Otherwise, once his heart wavered, it would cause the entire situation to fester.
How could he not know that Mutants weren't that easy to control, especially in an era where the entire society was boycotting Mutants?
Mutants were dangerous in many ways. One of them was that they couldn't control their abilities. This was the most common type of people. They would unintentionally release their abilities and hurt others.
This made a lot of people stay away from Mutants. They began to feel afraid and isolated.
And it was this emotion that caused many Mutants' psychology to become distorted. Because they couldn't make simple friends.
They couldn't even find a normal job. These circumstances made the social status of Mutants even more awkward. Then because they didn't have a regular job.
In order to survive, many Mutants embarked on the path of crime.
And because of this problem, it made society even more alienated and excluded them. This created a terrible vicious circle.
The US government tried to use the power of Mutants. They formed a secret team to fight against supernatural forces.
But the ending was tragic, and because of this incident, a terrible Mutant Revolutionary Leader and the Mutant Brotherhood that he led were born.
Nick Fury's suggestion today wasn't made on a whim. He really felt that he had too few cards in his hand. In the future, there would be more and more problems and pressure on him. He was afraid that if he didn't control it well, he would collapse.
He suddenly envied Sine of the Spear Game. The cards in his hand were much better than his. At least the Chinese government allowed the formation of a Mutant team.
And the X-Men could only be a non-staff organization. They couldn't even be considered a non-staff organization. They had to take the blame from time to time.
"Director Nick, we need to be more cautious about rebuilding the X-Men." Even Bugiuno, who had always supported Nick, spoke cautiously.
"You should look more broadly and try to find other candidates. As for the Avengers plan you submitted, we have temporarily approved it, but we still need you to submit the list of candidates in the end. "
"I understand." Nick's one eye was a little unwilling. The world was probably more dangerous than these people knew. This was his intuition. "My most important candidate needs to wait until there is progress in the exploration near the North Pole before I can submit it."
The problem of Mutants couldn't be hidden forever. When the conflict really broke out one day, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to end it.
In the original timeline, Nick would have had more time. And the cards in his hand were stronger.
But because of a certain butterfly's constant flapping of its wings, the current world line is becoming more and more chaotic. In particular, this butterfly is getting stronger and stronger. What direction will he take the world?
"Mr. President, should the new bill be publicly released as previously scheduled?" The White House Secretary asked the country's most powerful leader.
"Everything goes according to plan." Without any extra words, the President ordered.
Walking out of Matt's law building, Li Jie felt that he had accomplished another major event. Lawyer Matt expressed his willingness to accept as the new company's legal counsel.
