Someone gently knocked on the car door. Skye looked at Su Zhan in surprise, and Su Zhan shrugged. "It seems this premonition came true."
The car door opened.
It was indeed Phil Coulson.
"Su Zhan, Skye, hello. Let me introduce myself, I'm Phil Coulson, an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.," Phil Coulson said with a smile.
"Is there something you need?" Su Zhan asked.
"How about we talk somewhere else?" Phil Coulson said with a smile.
Su Zhan and Skye exchanged glances, and Su Zhan nodded in agreement.
They had thought Coulson meant a nearby coffee shop when he said 'somewhere else', but they didn't expect him to take them directly to an Aircraft. It was the Aircraft from the TV show "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", which could also be called a mobile Base.
Su Zhan saw Coulson's antique car; of course, it only looked antique. In reality, the car was equipped with extremely high-end functions, including the Ability to float and fly! At the same time, Su Zhan also met the two scientist Agents, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons. It's worth mentioning that Jemma was much prettier than she appeared in the TV series!
"Please have a seat."
After they sat down at the bar inside the Aircraft, Coulson said directly, "I'm forming my own team, and this Aircraft is the Base. It looks pretty good, doesn't it? It's convenient and fast, and can be moved at any time. There aren't many Bases like this."
"It is indeed good," Su Zhan nodded. "However, I'm more curious about what you're actually here for. You're not just here to show us your Base, are you?"
"Of course not. Actually, I'm mainly here for her," Coulson said, looking at Skye. "A hacker master, a member of the Tide organization. The Tide organization has repeatedly breached our systems, stolen information, and published it publicly. Most of this information is something ordinary people shouldn't know or can't accept yet. Just recently, they again released information about some Ability users, so... Miss Skye, I hope you can help me!"
"Help you? Why? What right do you have to conceal this? There are so many Ability users and Super Heroes in this World; haven't the public known for a long time?" Skye asked.
Coulson nodded, "Yes, especially after the Battle of New York, the public naturally became aware of the existence of Super Heroes. It's just... these are individual, a minority of Super Heroes, which makes people feel secure because these Super Heroes will help when danger arises. But if the number of Super Heroes is too large, then it's not security, but worry."
"Like Mutants?"
"Not quite, but similar. Actually, this kind of thing is unavoidable, but if... the public knows that someone is doing research to create super-powered individuals, then the result would be completely different. Currently, multiple cases of super-powered individuals have appeared. After investigation, these super-powered individuals seem to have been injected with some kind of serum, but it's incomplete and causes them to self-destruct. Simply put, it's similar to Extremis... so it's very likely that someone obtained a sample of Extremis and is researching a new type of viral serum."
"Just say what you need to say, why are you looking at me? It wasn't me who did it," Su Zhan said, pouting unhappily when Coulson looked at him while talking about Extremis.
Coulson apologized, "Of course, I can confirm that you didn't do this, but it has severely jeopardized social security. However, the other party is very cunning, and we've tried many methods but haven't been able to find any information about them. And the Tide organization deliberately publishes this information, breaking through our systems, giving a sense of confusing the public, so..."
"So you found me? Sorry, although I have this Ability, I didn't do these things!" Skye said, shaking her head.
"But perhaps you can help us find this mysterious organization!" Coulson said seriously.
"Perhaps, but why should I help you?"
"Because this is a good way for you to clear your name. With your identity in the Tide organization, I have the right to arrest you."
"You can try," Su Zhan said, pulling out a lighter and smiling.
"We are currently at an altitude of 6,000 meters. I don't know if you have the Ability to fly, but I'm willing to take a gamble!" Coulson said calmly.
Su Zhan looked at him with a half-smile. Although Coulson's tone was calm, it was clear that he was actually very nervous. "Are you threatening me?"
"No, I'd rather consider this my expression of sincerity. I could arrest you, but I don't want to. I just hope you can help me, and also help those who died due to the virus's defects!" Coulson said seriously.
"Alright, I'm willing to help!" Skye suddenly said.
"Skye, if you don't want to, believe me, no one can force you!" Su Zhan said to Skye.
Skye nodded, "I know, but he's right, many people have died because of this, and in the future... perhaps there will be more. I don't know if these people were willing or forced, but I think I, we can help them."
"Alright, it seems I'll just have to consider blowing this place up later when I have a chance," Su Zhan said helplessly, then looked at the nervous Coulson and smiled, "Don't be nervous, I was just joking."
"That's not funny!" Coulson forced a bitter smile.
Chapter 001 Jemma Simmons' First Kiss
Su Zhan was not surprised by Skye's decision to help. Firstly, Skye was inherently kind-hearted, and it was indeed difficult for her to ignore such matters. Secondly, this was a good opportunity to get into S.H.I.E.L.D. Only by proving her worth could she potentially join S.H.I.E.L.D..
Skye began her investigation using the Aircraft's equipment. It had to be admitted that her hacking skills were indeed formidable, especially with the support of such high-end equipment, she was virtually omnipotent. Watching Skye busy herself so seriously, Su Zhan felt somewhat bored.
"If you're bored, I can have someone give you a tour of the Aircraft," Phil Coulson stood beside Su Zhan and whispered, "Actually, I don't understand any of this either, but there's nothing I can do, I just have to wait for news here." As he spoke, he pressed the communicator on his ear. "Jemma, if you're free, please come over."
A moment later, Jemma, wearing a White coat, walked over.
"Jemma, please show Su Zhan around."
"Okay!"
Jemma nodded and smiled at Su Zhan.
"Thank you for your trouble."
Su Zhan smiled. He was indeed quite interested in this Aircraft, and it was very cool.
However, the coolest thing was still S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Aircraft Carrier, but getting that thing wouldn't be easy. He would wait until the system upgraded and could bring things out of the Copy plane to figure out how to get those.
Scientists tend to have somewhat peculiar personalities. Jemma took Su Zhan on a tour of the Aircraft, no... it couldn't even be called a tour anymore, it was a complete science popularization lecture. Unfortunately, Su Zhan didn't understand a single word she said, but watching her speak with such enthusiasm, Su Zhan found it quite interesting.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Su Zhan suddenly asked.
Jemma was startled for a moment, then shook her head: "No, I was recruited directly into the team right after graduating from the academy. I didn't have the time or energy while I was studying, so yes... I don't have a boyfriend. What about you? Is Skye your girlfriend?"
"Mmm," Su Zhan nodded in response.
"Looks great!" Jemma said with a hint of envy, then quickly changed the subject and said excitedly, "I've seen your file. You're very mysterious, and you seem to have special Abilities. You absorbed Extremis without any danger. It's very possible that your genes or serum can inhibit and calm genetic viruses. If we can find out the reason, it could save many people!"
"Those modified people were basically injected with the Centipede Virus. This Centipede Virus was developed based on Extremis, so..."
Jemma became more and more excited as she spoke, but then she noticed Su Zhan's noncommittal expression, and her confidence wavered. Her voice grew softer and softer, until she finally closed her mouth sheepishly.
"I should have known you'd hate this, uh... just pretend I didn't say anything," Jemma apologized.
Su Zhan, however, unexpectedly shook his head: "If it's just letting you draw a little blood, it's fine, but... my blood isn't that easy to draw, so... since you want to research it, what will you pay for it?"
"Really? You really agree? That's great, tell me, what do you want?" Jemma said excitedly.
"I want you..." Su Zhan stared at Jemma.
Jemma froze. 'Want me?' What did that mean?
"What? You don't want to? I thought you were willing to sacrifice for science, for those innocent people. Now it seems you're not that resolute!" Su Zhan shook his head in disappointment.
"If you really are willing to give me your blood for research... I... I can agree to it! However, it's an equal exchange, one time for one time!" Jemma hesitated for a moment, then said firmly.
Su Zhan was actually just joking and teasing her, he didn't expect her to actually agree.
"Why? Just for my blood?" Su Zhan asked curiously.
"Partly, and there are other reasons!" Jemma said, lowering her head.
