Knight of the Ring in American comics

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, waking Crowe from his sleep. Ever since Phoenix took Lorna away yesterday, Crowe had been in a state of excitement, and it was rare for him to stay up all night.

"Boom boom boom!"

The knocking on the door became more urgent, and Crowe got up with a frown on his face and was about to open the door. He thought it was the old boy Coulson who wanted to ask him for help again.

"Who? Is it Coulson...?"

After opening the door, Crowe looked at the green-haired, red-haired and silver-haired people standing in front of the door. The three heads of different colors made Crowe's brain instantly panic.

"Why does it open so late..."

Lorna was just about to complain about Crowe, but she found that he seemed to have lost his mind. He closed the door again for a few seconds and then opened the door again. He was still mumbling something so that the three siblings could hear clearly.

"Damn, this must be a nightmare."

"Didn't you say that he would definitely welcome you back?"

Pietro suppressed a smile from behind and said that his new sister had vowed when she came here that Crowe would definitely welcome them happily when he saw them, but he did not say that this would happen.

"I can feel the fright he is feeling even without using my powers."

Wanda also had a smile on her lips, but compared to Wanda who smiled and Pietro, Lorna's face gradually turned darker.

"You guy, why don't you wake up for a while?"

As he spoke, he gave Crowe a blast, waking up Crowe who was still in a dazed state.

"Damn it, didn't you go back to Utopia? Why are you back again?"

"I'll be back after I finish my serious work. Otherwise, why would I be staying in that boring city?"

Lorna pushed aside Crowe who was blocking the way, and led Wanda and the two into the house.

"By the way, Wanda and Pietro are not used to staying there, so they will stay here until they find a new place to live."

"Shouldn't you ask me first before requesting something like this? Why did you jump directly to the end? Don't you feel any pain if you have something to say?"

Crowe scratched his head and said, when Lorna jerked him just now, he unconsciously used the iron block, and now looking at this little girl hiding her hands behind her back, she must be suppressing the pain.

"What happened to your head? Why is it so hard?"

When Crowe said this, Lorna, who was holding on, immediately took out her right hand that had turned red and rubbed it continuously, trying to relieve the pain. Just now she felt that she had been hit on a piece of steel.

"I'm sorry, this is a subconscious reaction of my body, and I can't control it."

Crowe shrugged to show that he was innocent, and then said to Wanda and Pietro on the other side.

"I don't have any objection if you rent it temporarily. Anyway, this house was converted from a warehouse, and there is still a lot of free space that can be renovated."

Crowe pointed to the second floor and said that he had thought about building a basement before, but it was too troublesome, so he only used a small part of this warehouse.

"Thank you for your help. We will find a place to stay as soon as possible during this time."

Wanda bowed slightly to express her gratitude. The two siblings were not used to the scope of Utopia, especially now that she still felt that there was some distance between her and her father.

So after discussing with Pietro, she decided to come out for a while instead of staying in Utopia directly, and the kind professor understood their approach and said they were welcome to return to Utopia at any time.

Lorna stared at this opportunity and recommended herself to the professor that she would take Wanda and the others to New York. After all, this was their first time in New York and they needed someone who knew their way around them.

"So is this why you brought them to my house? But the problem is that when you lived here, didn't you just stay at home? Where did you go to get familiar with New York?"

Crowe listened to Lorna's words, and his head was full of black lines. With Lorna like this, she probably didn't even know where Times Square was.

"Damn it, I need you to take care of it, and isn't it because you live in such a remote place?"

"Aren't I trying to avoid disaster? If you really live in New York City, you can wait for aliens to attack and destroy your house."

Looking at Crowe and Lorna arguing, Wanda just shook her head helplessly, while Pietro had long been eyeing Crowe's PS4 and XBOX, and now he started playing.

"By the way, shouldn't you have lived in New York City before? Can't you lend that empty house to Sister Wanda and the others?"

Lorna, who had temporarily made a truce with Crowe, suddenly remembered that he had said before that there was a house in Hell's Kitchen.

"If you can tolerate all kinds of surveillance, I won't mind lending you my house to live in."

Crowe said angrily, he would rather rent out the house and collect money, but if someone moves in there, there will probably be a lot of people watching the next day.

"What kind of trouble did you get into before? That's why you came to live here."

Wanda asked curiously after listening to Crowe's words.

"It's a long story..."

Crowe scratched his head and began to recall the people he had offended.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra will definitely send people, and New York's underground emperor Kingpin will probably send people as well, as well as the Hand and the like."

"You are indeed an annoying guy."

Lorna said involuntarily.

"It's not something I can control."

Crowe waved helplessly.

"By the way, Teacher Qin asked me to bring this back. She said that she and the professor had already studied it, and asked me to express her gratitude to you."

Lorna took out the record book and returned it to Crowe, but Crowe threw it on the table.

"Go back and tell her you're welcome, hurry up."

Listening to Crowe's words, the two people who had a temporary truce started a new round of war again.

Looking at the two people arguing again, Wanda shook her head helplessly, picked up the book that Crowe threw on the table and started to read. Anyway, she couldn't think of anything to do at the moment, so she might as well read for a while. .

During the second war between Crowe and Lorna, the Avengers, who were very tired after a night's flight, returned to their base, Avengers Tower.

Steve left directly as soon as he came back. He had to go find Fury to ask some questions.

After all, after learning that his old rival, Baron Stecla, was resurrected, he was full of questions that he had no answers to. He wanted to see if Fury, the old fox, had any hidden information.

Button also said that he had some personal matters to resolve, and he disappeared after getting off the plane, so there were only three Avengers left in the building: Tony, Banner, and Natasha.

"I have to interrogate these prisoners, hoping to get some useful information from them."

Natasha called a group of agents to escort the prisoners off the plane, took them to the interrogation room, and interrogated them separately.

"Well, Doctor, now we are left with two grown men. Fortunately, I have a new idea."

Tony took off his steel armor with the help of the machine and looked at Banner excitedly. He found some interesting data in the database of the Hydra base.

"Don't tell me you want to try Hydra's resurrection plan."

Banner said with a grimace, making up his mind that if Tony really wanted to do experiments on resurrection, he would immediately find an excuse to go out and hide and see how Jennifer was doing.

"Of course not. I found some data about storing the spirit in the machine in the base. This may be a reference for further upgrades of Jarvis."

"Do you want Jarvis to be further upgraded to become a real artificial intelligence?"

Banner was also interested when he heard it. He had heard from Fury before that there was a scientist in Hydra who had transferred his spirit to the data network.

"Maybe we can find some interesting information in it."

Tony and Banner discussed with each other and walked into the laboratory and began to review the information Tony copied from Hydra.

Steve, who was looking for Fury, received a phone call that confused him on the way.

"Long time no see, Steve."

"who are you?"

"Haha, it's me, your old friend Damtan Dugan."

A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone, and when Steve heard the name, he fell into a mood of disbelief and surprise.

Because this man named Dugan Dugan was his comrade from seventy years ago, the first generation member of the Howling Commandos.

"Is it really you? Your voice doesn't sound like an old guy who is nearly a hundred years old."

Steve still retained a trace of vigilance towards this old comrade who suddenly appeared.

"It's hard to explain clearly on the phone. I'll wait for you to come over here with Fury, and then I'll tell you about my glorious deeds over the years."

Steve hung up the phone hesitantly, but in his heart he was thinking about how many things Fury, the old fox, had hidden from him.

Then Steve stepped on the accelerator and accelerated to the place where Fury and he agreed to meet.

Not long after, Steve arrived outside the safe house agreed with Fury, opened the door and entered. Fury was chatting with a bearded man, apparently waiting for him.

"Long time no see, Captain."

Noticing Steve entering, the bearded man stood up to welcome him. He was Damdan Dugan.

"Fury, now do you want to explain to me what this is?"

Steve stared at Dugan's face. This guy was almost the same as he was seventy years ago.

"You sit down first."

Fury motioned Steve to sit on a chair and began to tell him about Dugan's deeds.

After World War II, Dugan founded S.H.I.E.L.D. with Peggy Carter and Howard Stark.

Howard used the information obtained from the extermination of Hydra to successfully develop a serum that can slow down aging. Although it only has two functions: slowing down aging and extending lifespan, it must be injected continuously over time.

"Then why didn't Peggy..."

"She didn't get the injection because of you."

Dugan sighed and Steve fell silent.

"So I have been helping SHIELD train new recruits until recently due to the reorganization of SHIELD and I was forced to leave the academy. That's why Fury came to me."

Dugan took a sip of wine and said, looking very melancholy. Those old friends from back then either died of assassinations or died of old age. Only he and Peggy are still alive now.

"Gentlemen, this is the end of reminiscing. Next, we should talk about the problem of Hydra."

Fury interrupted the two men who were lost in melancholy.

"Zemo should have been injected with a similar serum to live for such a long time. Dr. Zola, who only had a spiritual body left, and the resurrected Baron Stecla, who you have met, are all short of the Red Skull."

Fury sighed. He originally thought that after solving Alexander Pierce, Hydra would be in a state of collapse. However, the old Big Three appeared again.

"Recently, there is a mysterious figure named Viper who is making waves in the European underground world. After our investigation, we can confirm that he is also a Hydra person."

Dugan added on the side that his previous mission was to search for information about vipers in Europe.

"It seems that our previous actions were indeed painless to Hydra?"

Steve smiled bitterly. He thought that Hydra would be destroyed after seventy years, but he didn't expect that they would develop even bigger than before.

"So I would like to ask you to find someone to help you."

Fury stared at Steve with one eye.

"And you are very familiar with this person."

Fury took out a yellowed photo, which was a photo of Steve and another person. If Crowe was present, he would be able to recognize the person in the photo at a glance - Wolverine Logan.

"Logan?"

"Yes, the Beta-level mutant, Wolverine Logan, currently lives in Utopia, a country created by mutants."

"Why are you looking for him?"

After a few seconds of silence, Steve asked Fury that he had lived in this era for so long, but this was the first time he heard the names of mutants and Utopia from Fury's mouth.

"Since information about mutants is no longer circulating in society, it means that they have made an agreement with humans not to interfere with each other."

Steve recalled the turbulent anti-mutant activities of that era, but he didn't hear anything about mutants after being cryogenically awakened, which was strange when he thought about it.

"Mutants and humans did sign an agreement not to interfere with each other, but this time we need their power..."

Fury pondered for a few seconds, then continued after a moment of hesitation.

"After an investigation by an elite team from SHIELD, I got the news that Hydra may have some involvement with aliens. Because of this, I want to form a special elite team."

"So you want me, the only person who can still relate to mutants, to ask them? And you are not sure about the authenticity of the news."

"If we don't make adequate preparations in advance, if we really come to that critical moment, we may not be able to keep up with the enemy's movements."

Fury's words caused Steve to fall into silence for a while, and it took a long time before he responded to Fury.

"I'll think about it."

"Okay, during the time you are thinking about it, I will continue to track Zemo and the others, and Dugan will also return to Europe to pursue the Viper."

Fury stood up and patted Steve on the shoulder, leaving space for these two old friends who had been apart for seventy years.
