Marvel's Xeon Makeover

Johnny quietly sneaked back into the city and found a place he thought was hidden to hide. He planned to wait until dark before summoning his soul chariot before leaving here.

Little did he know that the hiding place he thought was hidden happened to be under someone's surveillance.

"Agent Barton, how are you? Are you confident in dealing with Ghost Rider?"

In a safe house, Nick Fury and Hawkeye Clint Barton were observing Johnny's every move through a miniature surveillance robot provided by Osborn Enterprises.

Since investigating the true identity of Ghost Rider, SHIELD has been observing him with surveillance robots. Fortunately, the fallen angel Zarathos does not understand human technology.

So even though he noticed a few man-made harmless bugs following Johnny, he ignored them.

"Insufficient intelligence, he didn't even take action seriously. But judging from the speed of his attack, even if there is a fight, I can take you to escape!"

Having the ability to fly is indeed a major advantage, which is why Barton dares to guarantee this.

"That's good! Now that Raziel has disappeared, we can't control the invasion war that Britain is facing. We finally have our hands free and deal with the restless people in the country!"

Fury led Barton towards Johnny's hiding place. At the same time, both of them secretly held the digital memory in their hands so that they would not be caught off guard if the negotiations broke down.

"Mr. Johnny!"

Fury's voice alerted Johnny who was hiding in the corner at the end of the alley.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a familiar black face. He felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

"Ah, you are...the director of SHIELD!"

Only then did Johnny remember, isn't this the director of SHIELD who was so frightened by the self-proclaimed god Raziel in the previous live broadcast that he didn't dare to move?

Why did the other party appear here?Could it be that his attempt to deal with him failed and several of his men died, forcing him, the top leader, to take action himself?

Although he felt a little confused, but thinking of the hostile stance that the two sides had just established, Johnny's raised right hand turned into a burning skull.

The reason why this alley was chosen was precisely because the buildings on both sides were very tall, and the alley sandwiched in the middle had no sunlight at all, which was perfect for Johnny, a rookie who could only transform in the shadows.

"Wait, Mr. Johnny! Don't do anything yet, I think there may be some misunderstanding!"

Fury was startled, clenched the memory in his hand tighter, and quickly spoke out to comfort Johnny.

"Misunderstanding? You S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are going to attack me as soon as they come up. They even use weapons like Gatling. You tell me this is a misunderstanding?"

Johnny didn't believe Fury's words easily. After all, as the director, he couldn't even control the specific actions of his men, right?

Then the other party is hostile to him. Since he is an enemy, there is no need for him to show mercy.

"It's indeed a misunderstanding!"

Seeing that Johnny just maintained the confrontation and did not launch an attack, Fury knew that he was at least half successful.

As long as there is an opportunity for negotiation, there is a possibility of success.Negotiation is nothing more than coercion and inducement. Of course, this is just an appearance.

The most important thing is to take the initiative.

"I have a story, do you want to hear it?"

Johnny was stunned for a long time, thinking about whether to listen to his story, and finally put down his right hand that turned into flesh and blood.

"Speak!"

"Do you know Howard Stark?"

Instead of starting with the story "once upon a time," Fury asked Johnny a question.

"Of course, who doesn't know him?"

Johnny nodded. Howard's name was in the textbooks, so he naturally knew about this big shot.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. was originally founded by him and his comrades. The purpose was to serve as a global extraordinary affairs processing organization to protect the safety of the earth."

Although Fury boasted about S.H.I.E.L.D., Johnny was not a young man without opinions, and pointed out the facts that Fury deliberately avoided.

"But now you look like an American secret service organization, like the FBI or CIA."

Fury had nothing to say to Johnny's complaints. Of course he knew about these situations, but he was unable to change them and had to compromise.

"These are not the focus. After World War II, in order to deal with the more severe world situation, Howard proposed and launched a special project called 'Paperclip'."

"Absorb some defeated and captured scientists into SHIELD's system. The first to bear the brunt is Arnim Zola, a genius scientist working for the Red Skull."

"So, you are saying that Hydra, which was destroyed by Captain America, was reborn with the help of SHIELD, right?"

Johnny is not too stupid. On the contrary, if he hadn't been unable to accept his father's death, he might have been able to go to a prestigious school.

So following the logic in Fury's words, he quickly reacted.

"That's right!"

It could be seen from the micro-expression that Johnny's hostility had subsided a little, and Nick Fury breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you know that Hydra is hiding within SHIELD, why don't you eliminate them?"

This is what Johnny can't understand. If he knows where the enemy is, why don't he just give it to him?Keep it for the New Year?

Fury also shook his head and sighed: "It's not that simple! Hydra was reborn from S.H.I.E.L.D., and the two are closely connected. If you want to destroy Hydra, you can only destroy S.H.I.E.L.D."

"But at this critical moment, it will be very dangerous if SHIELD is gone."

Johnny knew that Fury was referring to Raziel. Although he didn't think SHIELD's power could play any role in the face of that person's power, he still agreed with Fury's logic.

"So, you came to me just to tell me that you are not the same as them?"

"Almost! If you want to cause trouble with Hydra, I won't stop you."

After that, Nick Fury threw down a document bag and left with Hawkeye.

Driven by curiosity, Johnny picked up the document bag, took out the documents inside, opened it and read it.

It records several Hydra safe houses in Washington, D.C., which were given to Fury by the elderly Captain America before leaving. They were his traces of Pierce, Sitwell, Rumlow and other Hydra backbones over the years. discovered when.

"Having said all that, don't you want to kill people with a borrowed knife and drive away wolves and devour tigers?"

Johnny, who saw through Fury's plan at a glance, was full of disdain, but since he had been tricked, he had no choice but to stay here quietly and wait for dark.

Outside the alley, Barton followed Fury into his modified Chevrolet SUV, put on his seat belt, and drove away.

"Director, are you so sure that Johnny will take action against Hydra?"

"uncertain."

"Then why are you?"

"It's just a document. To put it bluntly, it's just a few pieces of paper. I can't verify whether the information on it is true. So what if I show it to him?"

"By the way, how are the others doing?"

"Thor has disappeared since he left. Tony is repairing the suit in his research room. Coulson's injury is not too serious and he should recover soon. As for Natasha..."

"I have other tasks for her, you don't have to worry about this."
