Su Zhan pursed his lips, "Perhaps, but even if he absorbs it, what's the use of him being safe? There are many Centipede Warriors like him who have been modified by the Centipede Virus, right? It's impossible for me to absorb every single one, is it?"
"That's true!"
Coulson shook his head, hesitating to speak.
He actually wanted to suggest studying Su Zhan's body, but he didn't say it out loud. He knew Su Zhan would definitely not agree, and he wasn't sure how Su Zhan would react after he said it. He didn't want to provoke Su Zhan.
"In any case, I have to thank you all this time. If Skye hadn't found him, and if Su Zhan hadn't stopped him in time, many innocent people would have been injured this time. Your Abilities can help more people, so I formally invite you to join S.H.I.E.L.D. as consultants for my team. Are you willing to join?" Coulson said gratefully and earnestly.
Su Zhan shrugged, "Don't ask me. If Skye agrees, I agree!"
Coulson looked at Skye, who hesitated for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.
She… was already planning to join S.H.I.E.L.D., so of course, she wouldn't refuse the opportunity now.
"Welcome to the team!"
Coulson said happily.
A master hacker and someone who could be considered a Super Hero—their help to the team would be immense.
Originally, among his chosen people, there was Grant Ward, an action specialist he was quite optimistic about, as there was no one strong enough in the current team. However, he hadn't officially confirmed it yet. Now with Su Zhan, he wouldn't need him anymore!
Su Zhan and Skye had their rooms arranged. Since the rooms weren't very big, they didn't live together. But it didn't matter; everyone knew they were a couple. Gemma and Fitz both welcomed Su Zhan and Skye's joining. As for Mei, although she hadn't been seen before, she had interacted with them later and didn't show any particular attitude!
However, what Su Zhan was curious about was that he hadn't seen Ward.
That HYDRA Agent hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D.!
"Is it because of me that I replaced Ward?"
Although he didn't know the reason, it didn't matter. Su Zhan really didn't have any good feelings for Ward. If he had joined, he would definitely have taught him a good lesson.
In any case, he and Skye had joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and could now muddle through with S.H.I.E.L.D. Having the identity of a consultant would be much more convenient!
As night deepened, after saying goodnight to Skye, Su Zhan returned to his room to rest.
He had just laid down for a short while when he heard a knock at the door.
Su Zhan thought it was Skye and was too lazy to put on clothes, so he went to open the door shirtless, wearing only shorts.
When he opened the door, he found Gemma standing outside.
Chapter 0018 Lying Comfortably
Gemma looked at Su Zhan's attire with some surprise. His muscular physique made her a little shy, especially the distinct outline of his boxer briefs below. Although she had no experience in that area, it didn't mean she didn't understand anything.
Seeing Gemma's shy expression, Su Zhan chuckled teasingly, "What, running to knock on my door in the middle of the night? Are you ready?"
"No, it's not that. I just suddenly realized that Michael was about to self-destruct, but after you knocked him out, the Centipede Virus seemed to stabilize. And, you've also absorbed Extremis, so I wanted to ask you about that. Maybe I can find a solution!" Gemma shook her head and said.
"Come in first!"
Su Zhan pulled Gemma's hand, letting her enter, then smoothly closed the door.
"You just ran into my room like this, aren't you afraid others will see and misunderstand?" Su Zhan asked with a smile, looking at the somewhat nervous Gemma.
"No one saw. Skye… Skye is already asleep." Gemma explained.
Su Zhan chuckled, "What you said sounds like you came to meet me secretly, specially waiting until Skye was asleep."
Gemma lowered her head, too shy to speak.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. What do you want to ask? I promise to answer you!" Su Zhan said with a smile, then lay down on her lap, smiling comfortably.
Gemma had never had such an experience. Looking at Su Zhan lying on her lap, especially his gaze, made her unsure what to do. The questions she had prepared suddenly slipped her mind.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you until you're ready."
"Oh, oh!"
Gemma took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to ask questions. Su Zhan was indeed very cooperative, answering every question, especially providing very detailed information about some reactions to Extremis. These reactions were extremely valuable; perhaps they contained the solution to the virus!
Unconsciously, they chatted for a long time, and when they realized it, they found that so much time had passed.
"Ah, it's so late. I… I need to go back and rest. Thank you!" Gemma said softly.
"Okay!"
Su Zhan turned over and noticed Gemma secretly let out a sigh of relief. She seemed very nervous.
"I have to say, I was very comfortable just now. This is my first time lying on a woman's lap, and it feels pretty good." Su Zhan said with a smile.
"Really? Skye also…" Gemma said with surprise.
"Really!"
Su Zhan nodded seriously, then softly said, "Alright, go back and rest early."
"Mm, then I'll go back. Goodnight!"
"Goodnight!"
Gemma stood up and walked to the door to leave, but Su Zhan suddenly said, "Next time you're alone with me, try to wear skirts or shorts. Your legs are beautiful, and I really like them. It's a pity to hide them."
"I, I understand."
Gemma replied, then opened the door and left.
The next day, Su Zhan woke up at noon. When he came out, he found Skye tinkering with her computer on the sofa, while Gemma and Fitz were likely in the lab. Two science fanatics! Especially Fitz. They actually worked very well together, but only in experiments, professionally. If the plot were to follow its original course, they might develop feelings for each other, but now… it was clearly impossible!
Because of his appearance, the outcome of many things would naturally change.
"We have a mission!"
Coulson suddenly walked out and shouted loudly.
"Peru, 084 discovered!"
"What is 084?" Skye asked curiously.
"084 means an object of unknown origin, much like you and Su Zhan," Coulson said.
Well, speaking of which, Skye and Su Zhan could indeed be considered of unknown origin, especially Su Zhan. As for Skye, her identity was not much better than Su Zhan's, otherwise, she wouldn't have come to S.H.I.E.L.D. to investigate her own background.
"We're going to use this codename to determine if it's useful or a threat. The last 084 we found was quite interesting," Coulson continued.
"What was the last thing you found?" Su Zhan asked casually.
