The alternative in Marvel

"Mr. Logan, can you find any trace of him?"

"No, the breath has completely disappeared."

No trace of Adrian could be found, but the infected person had been caught, and Hill's mission was completed. She had a brief conversation with Logan and then led the team away.

……

Nick Fury, who is in charge of the overall situation, is indeed more interested in unknown ability users, but Adrian has not shown strong strength on any occasion, so SHIELD only wants to find out the details of Adrian, and it is best to With him under his control, Nick Fury would never meet him in person, and Hill lied about this.

As a senior agent who has had many contacts with Adrian, Hill feels that Adrian is not simple.

Relevant personnel were dispatched to transport the virus-infected people to the research department. Hill's team was given a special half-day holiday. They will return to the Tri-Curve Wing headquarters tomorrow afternoon. The contact with Adrian will not stop, but there is no need for Deputy Director Hill to personally deal with it. The local S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in Nevada will follow up in time.

Hill returned to the base, changed into casual clothes, and went out to the bar alone. Sitting at the bar, she ordered a glass of 'Black Russian' and took a sip.

"A glass of whiskey, thank you."

"You just appear next to me so calmly, and you're not afraid of my people rushing in?" Hill turned his head and looked at Adrian and asked.

"You're the only one here!"

"Your ability is very good." Being able to disappear and appear silently is a relatively powerful ability.

"Don't always sound like you're talking about work. You're here to relax, and so am I, so there's no need for the two of us to make the atmosphere so tense."

"That depends on whom."

"I have no hostility." Adrien spread his hands and shrugged.

"Why else do you think I continue to sit here?"

"It's no wonder that he is a senior executive of SHIELD. His calmness is hard to compare to ordinary people."

"You came to me specially, what's the matter?"

"I was just passing by by chance."

"Would you believe this nonsense?"

"I believe!"

"..."

"I'm not a criminal, so don't look at me like a prisoner. First of all, I didn't offend SHIELD. I said we have a common enemy to a certain extent, and I also saved your life."

"continue."

"Okay, how much do you know about the Mandarin?"

"A bomber," Hill said without thinking.

"I want to know the more real situation." Adrian placed the vision-enhancing ability ring in front of Hill.

"Where did you get it?" The moment he saw the ring, Hill nervously asked with a bit of surprise.

"Get it from the Mandarin's men, the real Mandarin."

"Do you plan to exchange this ring for relevant information?"

"That's just to show my sincerity." Then, Adrian took out the telekinetic ability ring and played with it.

"You have 2?"

"Four to be exact."

"Deal!" Hill put away the ability ring on the table.

"I am looking forward."

"The Mandarin's information is classified as Level 6 secret in SHIELD. In fact, we know very little. We only know that he comes from the east. His men are now scattered all over the world. Their main purpose is to amass wealth. They kidnapped Iron Man before. It was them who did it, and we found one of his men from the Middle East and seized an ability ring.”

"That's all?" The amount of information was much less than Adrian expected. He had always believed that SHIELD had great powers and knew everything. Of course, it was not ruled out that Hill was hiding something from him.

"What do you think? SHIELD's main mission is to ensure the security of the earth. Terrorists like the Mandarin can be classified as level 6 secrets, which is already very high."

I don't know if it's because the SHIELD family is looking down on the Mandarin, or for some other reason. In short, Adrien didn't get any useful information, and SHIELD didn't even have as much information as he did.

"Are you disappointed?"

"I feel like it's a loss to exchange an ability ring for this information."

"Then I'll buy you another drink?"

"As expected, it's SHIELD style, two glasses of 'St. John'." Adrian ordered without politeness.

"Logan has judged that you are harmless. Have you considered working for SHIELD?"

"Forget it, I like freedom and don't like to be restricted by others."

"It is precisely what needs to be restrained and guided so that people like you will not harm society."

"Don't lie to people with SHIELD's rhetoric. The Cosmic Cube is in your hands, haven't you recruited aliens?"

"So, we have nothing to talk about?"

"So, let's have a drink."

……

The next morning, Hill rubbed his sore head and woke up from bed, looking slightly distracted at the unfamiliar environment. Then the door to the room was opened, and Adrian walked in with two cups of coffee.

"Are you awake? I thought you were going to sleep for a while longer?"

"What did you do to me?" Hill asked in panic, holding the quilt to his chest.

"Uh... you're not going to break up, are you?" Adrian had just imagined a lot of the conversation between the two when they met again, but he didn't expect Hill to say something like this.

"I remember drinking in the bar..."

"Then?"

"Then... what exactly did you do to me?" Hill recalled what happened last night, but the development of things made her feel too incredible. She firmly believed that Adrian had exerted some kind of hint on her. or influence.

"OK, we drank too much, and then we were adults, you know."

Hill couldn't figure out why he was dating someone whose details he didn't know...

"Do you want to remind you again?" Seeing Hill still looking puzzled, Adrian took off his shirt to reveal several scratches on his back.

"enough!"

"It seems your memory has returned."

"You used your ability to control me last night?"

"How could it be? Let's not talk about whether I have this ability. As a person, I always pay attention to the other party's response."

"Respond to what?"

"you guess?"

……

Hill was feeling flustered and confused now. She didn't want to believe Adrian's words. She preferred to believe that she was being controlled. However, as the memory of last night gradually became clearer, she had to face reality. , so she now urgently wants to leave this place and calm down.

As soon as Hill lifted the quilt, he shrank back again.

"Where are my clothes?"

"Over there." Adrian leaned against the wall, took a sip of coffee, and pointed in one direction.

Following Adrian's gaze, Hill saw the clothes scattered on the ground, but most of these clothes were in tatters.

"us……"

"Well, that's crazy!"
