Nick Fury was a man of the system, but that didn't mean that he liked to follow the rules. To be honest, if the leader of an organization like S.H.E.L.D. was a man who followed the rules, the organization would basically have no future.
So, after S.H.E.L.D. fell, the higher-ups wanted to hold him responsible. Nick had long expected this. He also entrusted Captain Rogers with the follow-up matters. After S.H.E.L.D. left Nick's leadership. Hill and Rogers were still able to handle the situation.
In the secret trial in Washington, Nick didn't even argue with the big shots in the Security Council. Was it because he already knew that things couldn't be changed and there was no point in arguing?
This didn't seem like Nick's personality at all. He was someone who would try to bend a bullet that was aimed at him even if he was about to die. Confess to a crime and go to jail? Maybe others would do that, but Nick definitely wouldn't!
"So, you're saying that Nick Fury isn't really under arrest?" Li Jie asked Frank as he sat at the Night Watcher's conference table.
This was a secret meeting among the night watchers. Mindy, Laura, and Sam had already been sent to a room to play video games. Logen felt that it was better not to ask too much about this, so he went to play with Mindy and Laura. Logen swore that he wasn't there to supervise Sam.
Hearing Li Jie's question, Frank nodded. "Yes, it's impossible for him to be arrested so easily. Also, it's not Nick's style to stay in jail quietly. Those big shots in the Security Council think that they can control Nick and S.H.E.L.D.? Naive! "
Mike sat on the side and didn't speak. He had never liked S.H.E.L.D.. Whether Nick was in jail or not, he didn't care at all.
But Damon asked with interest, "If Nick isn't arrested, then who is in Washington?"
Frank smiled and shrugged. "Nick has his own way. There are many extraordinary people in this world. He can always find someone to replace him. Perhaps there are other ways to deceive those old masters. "
"So, Nick isn't really in prison. Was it just a substitute or a shadow inside? And Nick Fury is actually enjoying himself outside? "Li Jie had already roughly figured out the situation. He even wondered if Nick had secretly asked for help from the Inhumans. Mutants definitely had the ability to imitate other people's appearance, but the Mutated Race might not necessarily have it too. Moreover, the X-gene would not be detected, so it was safer. Nick himself had been in contact with the Black Bat King for more than a decade. He believed that it would not be difficult for the Black Bat King to find such a person among his people.
"That's right. In fact, he doesn't trust the officials in Washington, D.C., or the people in Congress. Let's not talk about the corruption of the Hydra, just talking about the integrity and moral standards of the politicians themselves, they are not trustworthy. "Frank and Nick were old friends, and he knew his old friend's character very well.
"There are not many people in this world that he can trust. I'm one of them. In fact, I've always felt that he also needs to trust us, the Night Watch. At least we never do things for private purposes or for profit. "
"And as I said just now, because Nick doesn't believe in the moral standards of these politicians, he needs to prepare some backdoor measures. So that when S.H.E.L.D. faces pressure from the government and has to compromise and give up some things, he can have a backup plan. "
Frank looked around at everyone. "There are a lot of secret information and all kinds of special items inside S.H.E.L.D... These things are very threatening to this world. If they are kept by the wrong people, the consequences will be disastrous."
"If Captain Rogers and Agent Hill can't keep those things safe, Nick will definitely use his own means to protect them. He doesn't care which country's army he's facing. "Frank's words were very meaningful.
Li Jie guessed that perhaps Frank was worried about something like the Cosmic Cube. Li Jie also suggested to Rogers that this dangerous thing should be handed over to someone else for safekeeping. Giving it to Ancient One or throwing it into Odin's Vault were both good choices. In any case, it was better than leaving it on Earth.
Because this thing was very likely to attract the attention of powerful people in the universe. Maybe Ancient One could stop them, maybe not. And so far, S.H.E.L.D.'s research on the Cosmic Cube had only allowed them to create some powerful weapons, and they were not the kind that were strong enough to go against the natural order. In terms of benefits and risks, it was not proportional.
But it was not known if Nick would agree to hand over the Cosmic Cube. Li Jie bit his upper lip with his lower teeth. "So, the Colonel of Stars and Stripes is Nick Fury?"
This was Li Jie's guess, and it was also the guess of several others. Because from the information that had just been leaked, this was the most credible guess.
As for the Colonel of Stars and Stripes, he was a middle-aged white man, and he was not blind in one eye. Since Nick could find a shadow to take his place in prison, then there was no problem disguising himself as a white man.
But to everyone's surprise, Frank shook his head gently. "If the Colonel of Stars and Stripes is Nick Fury, then it would be impossible for Mindy and Laura to find him. Although it seems a bit boastful, he is the King of Agents! "
Well, Frank's words did make sense. Could Mindy and Laura so easily find traces of Nick Fury who was hiding? If they could find him, then the two girls would have reached a very good level in both reconnaissance and stealth.
"So, who is that Mr. Stars and Stripes?" Li Jie was suddenly very curious.
Frank spread his hands. "A fanatic fan of Captain America. His fanaticism for Captain America is far greater than that of Agent Coulson inside S.H.E.L.D... He is the real number one fan in the world. "
Li Jie didn't quite believe what Frank said. Who could be more fanatical than Coulson?
Frank continued, "His name is John F. Walker. He participated in the Vietnam War at the same time as us. After the war, he worked with Nick at S.H.E.L.D... He is a fanatic fan of Captain America. He imitates Captain America from his speech and even his fighting movements. "
"At that time, the new generation of super soldier serum was being developed. John volunteered to participate in the experiment. He wanted to be the second Captain America. "Frank shook his head.
Li Jie knew that the result would not be good. "So what happened next? Was it not successful? "
"It was not successful. The development of the new generation of super soldier serum was a failure. His ability can only reach 80% of Captain America's, which looks good. But there is a huge hidden danger, that is, he is easily irritated and has a bad temper. That is a very fatal weakness. The people who participated in the experiment were all abandoned. Due to various reasons, many people did not live past the fifth year after the experiment. "
Frank said with a sigh, "John was protected by Nick in secret. Nick and I thought of a way to cure his rage and let him return to a normal life as much as possible. It was not easy. It took almost 20 years for John to control his temper and become a normal person again. "
"Because he used to be a special agent of S.H.E.L.D., he is now forced to live incognito. Nick and I call him American Spy, but he prefers to call himself Colonel Star-Spangled Banner. When Captain Rogers was still publishing comics under the pen name American Dream, his main character was called Mr. Star-Spangled Banner. At the same time, he had a wolfdog called Liberty Bonds. "
"John not only named himself Colonel Star-Spangled Banner, but he also had a wolfdog that looked exactly like him. That's why I said that he was the number one fan of Captain America. "Frank explained the origin of Colonel Star-Spangled Banner, and everyone understood.
Some of Colonel Star-Spangled Banner's self-introduction about Neptune was not wrong. For example, he used to be in the Marine Corps (in the 60s) and fought in the Vietnam War. Now he wanted to contribute to society, so he joined the Justice League.
But it was not known if joining the Justice League was his own idea, or if Nick gave him the order.
So, Li Jie raised the most important question. "So what does Nick want? What is the relationship between Black Cat and Colonel Star-Spangled Banner? If you can, Frank, I want to know. "
Frank nodded. "I didn't plan to hide anything from the beginning, but Nick was a little too careful. Now that I can't hide it anymore, it doesn't matter if I tell him everything, maybe it will be a good thing. "
"Nick's backup plan is to form another super team outside of the Avengers. The supervillains who can still be saved will make up for their mistakes and make some contributions to the world to offset their sins."
Huh? Li Jie felt that this was so familiar. It seemed that this was how the Illuminati dealt with Magneto.
Frank continued, "And the name of this organization is [Thunder Agents]!"
PS: John F. Walker, from Marvel Comics "Captain America Monthly", is a person who admires Captain America but has a bad temper. He is not a bad person, but his temper is his biggest shortcoming, so sometimes he is jealous of Captain America. He is a strange guy.
After being transformed, he became an American spy and apprenticed to the master imitator Masters to learn the Captain's self-created shield fighting technique, and then became the third Captain America. But because of all kinds of things after becoming Captain America. It made John understand that the gap between him and Captain America was not simply a gap in ability. It came from the gap in his heart, so he finally resigned from the position of Captain America.
