Noah looked at the tablet in front of him, which was playing scenes of him on his way to missions these past few days. He had been running at high speed, searching for mission clues, and had been captured by some surveillance cameras he hadn't noticed.
Noah looked at Coulson. He wasn't surprised that S.H.I.E.L.D. could track him. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. was ridiculed by netizens in his previous life for being infiltrated by HYDRA and becoming 'Snake-H.I.E.L.D.', it still had capabilities.
"What do you want to ask, Coulson?" Noah asked directly.
"Noah, S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded to deal with various strange events. So, I want to know why you possess such extraordinary power, and where you obtained this power. Can you tell me?" Coulson asked.
"I can tell you how I got my power," Noah said. He had already prepared an excuse to fool them.
"Oh? You're willing to tell how you obtained your power?" Coulson said in surprise. He had thought it would be difficult to get the other party to reveal how he gained his power, but he didn't expect him to be so cooperative and willing to speak about it. However, if that were the case, Coulson would have to carefully consider the veracity of what the other party said.
On Coulson's chest, a button was glowing red. This was a listening device disguised as a button, and on the other end was Nick Fury. Nick Fury was quite concerned about such superhuman incidents.
"Regarding my power, it started two years ago when I traveled to China," Noah said, leaning back on the sofa, feigning a look of recollection.
'China?' Coulson heard Noah's words. The investigative data showed that Noah had indeed been to China two years ago.
"While traveling in China, I once went to the Himalayas. At that time, a member of a mysterious organization appeared before me, saying that I was chosen by Destiny, and then bestowed upon me mysterious power," Noah said, as a swirling mass of wind appeared in his hand.
When Coulson saw this, his pupils constricted, revealing a shocked expression. This was clearly not a phenomenon that science could explain; it was an extraordinary power.
"And then, he took me to their sanctuary and told me their organization was called Valoran. They worshiped a god named Star Forging Dragon King, Aurelion Sol. Then he told me that Earth would face a great crisis in the future and that I needed to save the World," Noah finished, looking at Coulson. This was something he had just concocted by combining some stories from League of Legends.
"A mysterious organization in the Himalayas? Worshipping a god? And saving the World? Do you believe what they said? Believe the World will be destroyed in the future?" Coulson asked skeptically. Listening to Noah's story, he was still a bit suspicious. Why would an extraordinary mysterious organization suddenly appear? S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't discovered them? And they said strange things like the World was about to be destroyed? If such a person appeared before Coulson, saying such strange things, Coulson would only consider him a member of some cult.
"Originally, I didn't believe it. Then he took me to see their divine artifact, a divine staff called the Staff of Time, an artifact that allows one to see the future," Noah said, shaping the image of a staff in the air with his magic.
"You saw the future?" Coulson asked, looking at the staff in front of him. He had already seen Noah's magic-like power, but he was still skeptical about seeing the future.
"Yes, the Staff of Time allowed me to see the future. I saw many things: Iron Man, a green giant, an alien god, and an alien invasion of New York," Noah said, looking at Coulson.
"I also saw you, and your boss, a one-eyed bald black man named Nick Fury, right?" Noah said to Coulson.
"What?! You saw me? And my boss?" Coulson said in shock. Noah shouldn't have known about Nick Fury's existence as his boss, but he accurately described his appearance and name. This made him wonder if what Noah said was true.
Nick Fury, far away in the S.H.I.E.L.D. office, was also very surprised. He didn't expect this kid to know about his existence, and even to state his physical characteristics and name. Nick Fury didn't remember ever meeting this kid.
Nick Fury began to wonder if there really was such a mysterious organization in the Himalayas in China. When he had listened to Noah recount his experiences earlier, he had completely dismissed what Noah said as a fabricated story to fool Coulson.
But now, Nick Fury was also becoming uncertain about the truthfulness of Noah's story. However, Noah's next words directly astonished him.
"Yes, I saw your boss, Nick Fury. In the future, he can even summon a blonde female Superman wearing a red and blue uniform with a star on her chest. What did he use to summon that female Superman? Oh, I remember it was..."
"Enough, kid, you can stop. We temporarily believe everything you've said is true." Just as Noah was about to mention Nick Fury's pager, Nick Fury's voice came from the button on Coulson's chest. He stopped Noah from speaking further.
'This kid actually knows about Carol, and even seems to know what I use to contact Carol. It seems what he said might indeed be true.' Nick Fury thought. He had just stopped Noah from revealing his secret weapon in time. He already believed what Noah said about seeing the future. After all, only he knew about Carol, and Noah definitely couldn't have known. Now, to clearly state Carol's existence, Nick Fury had no choice but to believe his words were true.
After Nick Fury spoke to stop Noah, the scene fell into temporary silence. Noah stroked his chin with one hand, staring at the button on Coulson's chest that had emitted the sound. He had guessed that Nick Fury was eavesdropping, he just didn't know what device he was using. Coulson also sat up straight after Nick Fury spoke, feeling as if he had heard a secret he shouldn't have. Nick Fury, with his chin resting on his hands, fell into deep thought.
A moment later, Nick Fury's voice came from the button.
"Noah, kid, would you like to join S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Nick Fury said, surprising Coulson. Inviting Noah to join S.H.I.E.L.D. was a decision Nick Fury made after brief consideration. After reviewing Noah's information and hearing the recent intelligence, he felt quite satisfied with this kid. The first thing he did after gaining power was to act as a superhero and fight criminals, which showed he was a person with a sense of justice and possessed extraordinary power, making him very suitable to be a member of his Avengers Initiative. Moreover, Noah knew a lot of future information. If S.H.I.E.L.D. could make good use of this future information, he could respond to those future crises or even resolve them in advance.
Therefore, Nick Fury extended the invitation to Noah.
"I'm only 16. Isn't this illegal child labor?"
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is not bound by that law."
"I still have to go to school."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. can grant you the highest education without needing to attend school, and your annual salary can reach up to a million dollars."
"Wow, that's a good offer, but I refuse."
