American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

"Where are the prisoners? Don't tell me you couldn't even capture a single invader?" Nick Fury glared at the two of them. Although everything seemed normal, his intuition told him that there was a strange, unsettling understanding between them. Driven by his inherent suspicion, he still probed with a question.

"I don't believe you don't have similar information. Once the invaders die, they turn into a cloud of ashes. Even the seriously injured are ruthlessly finished off by their companions. Under such circumstances, how could there be any prisoners?" Luke sat in his seat, hands clasped, arms resting on the armrests of the chair, and said matter-of-factly.

"I think you should focus on identifying those invaders. I think they're abnormal." Tony Stark, for the first time, had seen people who didn't leave corpses after death but instead turned into a cloud of ashes and disappeared. This simply broke through his logical thinking again. The last time with the vampires could at least be considered dark creatures, but this time's invaders, no matter how you look at it, seem to be human.

Of course, they might be humans born from some kind of technology, similar to super soldiers.

"Of course, I will." Nick, with his intact single eye, observed the two for a moment before nodding.

...

Once Nick Fury hurriedly left with his people, Tony turned to look at Luke and asked him, "Is it really okay to do this?"

"What's the problem?" Luke looked at Tony in confusion, somewhat puzzled.

"That bone seems important to Nick, and I don't think you can hide it forever. What are you going to do when you face that guy? I don't think he's very forgiving." Tony was full of curiosity and added a complaint about Fury at the end. Although the other party returned his father's relics to him, he wasn't grateful at all.

He even felt it was quite cool that Luke had taken something from him, and he was even willing to cooperate with Luke as a witness.

"What kind of person do you think Nick is? Is he the kind of person who makes impulsive decisions based on emotions? Of course not, he has his own set of logic. If you have something he needs more in your hands, then just find an excuse. Like lost and found, or found by scavenging from somewhere else. As long as you leave a little face-saving, Nick will cooperate and won't expose you even if he knows it." Luke, after all, had partnered with Nick many times. Even if he couldn't completely grasp the psychology of the cunning Nick, he could still roughly judge the other party's bottom line.

A mysterious bone is not worth Nick falling out with him or targeting him in any way, even if it's exposed.

After all, their current cooperation is in its honeymoon period, and that bone is not just the two that were lost. Even if the worst situation occurs, if Nick wants to target him and do something, a group of people will stand in front of him and stop Nick before the longevity potion is cracked. Unless Luke really does something big that makes everyone feel threatened.

So, as long as Luke doesn't explicitly say that I took your things, then even if Nick knows, he will pretend not to know. Just like today, if it were someone else, Heberon would have been searched from top to bottom by S.H.I.E.L.D. to make sure there were no problems before doing anything else. This behavior, to some extent, represents Nick's attitude and thoughts of not wanting to pursue the matter.

He doesn't want to break up with Luke or have an unpleasant relationship. At least not yet.

If Luke can research something from the bone and give S.H.I.E.L.D. certain sales rights, then Nick, who has a tacit understanding with him, may even take the initiative to ask: Are there enough materials? Do you need me to replenish some? Of course, if Luke really wants to replenish them, then Nick also has a high probability of giving him a special order, asking Luke to exchange it for his technical products or other things.

Now his relationship with Nick is so pure and tacit. There may be friendship, but both of them understand that friendship plays a minimal role in the distribution and handover of benefits. Their friendship is limited to allowing them to tacitly cooperate using each other's strengths.

"Whatever, then I'll take it away." Tony shrugged and picked up the jar containing the Venom Jr. symbiote.

The Venom Jr. symbiote, which was picked up, was dumbfounded. His eyes were full of incomprehension. He just came back to recover from his injuries and wait for the feeder to feed him to restore his strength, so why was he being taken away?

"What's the situation?" The symbiote in the jar pounced on the glass of the jar, his big eyes staring at Luke, his eyes full of grievance. He had just bled for him! He had just worked for him! He had just guarded his home for him! As a result, he returned to the laboratory covered in injuries, just waiting to improve his treatment, and he was about to be sent away?

What does this mean?

Falling from the Life Foundation to S.H.I.E.L.D., being sent from S.H.I.E.L.D. to Heberon, thinking that good days had finally come, but he was about to be sent away again? Was he so unpopular? Obviously, compared to Quiet and Venom, he was the relatively normal [person] among the symbiotes! Could it be that aliens are popular now?

"Your ownership now belongs to Mr. Stark." Luke pointed to Tony, who was carrying the jar, and said to the aggrieved symbiote.

"Am I an item? Being transferred back and forth by you? Don't I have any of the human rights you talk about? I am an intelligent creature! An intelligent creature just like you humans! I need some respect!" The black symbiote was very aggrieved in the jar. What was he working so hard to show for? Wasn't it just to follow the footsteps of the Big Sister and Big Brother step by step, work hard to improve his value and status, and then achieve his goals?

Quiet Big Sister is for eating.

Big Brother Venom is for eating and becoming stronger.

He is also becoming stronger and satisfying a little bit of his appetite.

If he is sent away, wouldn't his plan be completely ruined?

"Strictly speaking, you are just a prisoner." Luke corrected the black symbiote's words.

"So what?" The black symbiote widened his white eyes.

"So I believe that Mr. Tony Stark will treat you well." Luke ruthlessly shattered the other party's fantasy.

"Big Brother?" The black symbiote's eyes glanced at his Big Brother Venom. However, Venom quickly jumped back into his jar, and the tentacles turned into arms and closed the jar. Then his gaze swept over Little Habu, who was waving goodbye to him with a pure face, and Mittels, who was amusing himself by spitting bubbles. His whole body suddenly lost its support, and he slid down the glass wall of the jar like a puddle of mud, shrinking to the bottom.

"Go, I will arrange for someone to send you food regularly." Luke finally softened a little. Although this guy's combat power is not as good as Quiet's, his potential is not as good as Venom's, and he doesn't have any genes to study, he has contributed to Heberon after all. Seeing the other party's dejected appearance, Luke still gave a little bit of insignificant kindness.

...

"Venom, stay away from 002, don't think I don't know what you're thinking?" In the vampire laboratory, Luke looked at Venom, who came with him, and had to remind him. 002 can use Holy Light because Luke embedded a soul crystal in his body as an energy source. After all, the other party is not a biological symbiote like Little Habu, but a semi-mechanical creation.

Venom's original intention of [polluting] 002 was only for the soul crystal in his body.

"Okay, okay, keep your distance, I understand." Venom muttered a few words, jumped a few times on the metal floor, like a very elastic slime, and finally landed on a table.

"Is that him?" Venom looked at an invader who was pierced by a golden spear near the table, and turned his eyes to look at Luke for questioning.

"It's him." Luke nodded.

"I have so many functions now. Besides being responsible for fighting, being responsible for being studied by you, I also have to be your research assistant. What's even more tragic is that I don't have a salary! Can't you use your technology to complete things like detecting memories and copying genes? Those are all readily available." Venom babbled, and the entire liquid directly pounced on the immobile invader, and then, under Luke's gaze, quickly merged into his body.

"Can you pull this spear out of my body? It makes me feel uncomfortable, and it's a bit difficult to match with him." Venom showed his face, and his snake-like tongue protruded from his cracked mouth, pointing to the Holy Light spear stuck in the invader's body like a pointer. Luke waved his hand smoothly and took the spear out of the other party's body.

"Don't struggle, don't resist, our fusion is a harmonious combination.

I won't occupy your body for too long, so don't panic.

Can your brain think of something normal? Think of something I want to know! Don't make me flip through your memories, that's a lot of work! Let's both hurry up.

Okay, since you are determined to make trouble for me, then I can only take some bad measures. If your brain suffers any damage after I leave, it has nothing to do with me!

Damn, what's in your memory? It's polluting my spirit! Can't you do any decent work besides killing people? What if you make me a murderer? Okay, actually I like to gnaw on people's brains. Judging from my previous hosts, they can't be considered good people, and using your human moral standards to quell the chaos, they are all villains who have done all kinds of bad things! But they didn't specialize in killing people like you.

What is this? What are you hiding?

No, wait, I was wrong!"
