Marvel's Speedster

After leaving the White House, Fury didn't go back to the Trident Building on the Potomac River, but took his special plane directly to the military base deep in the Adirondack Mountains.

This is the place where Ross used to study Tesseract. Not long ago, it was owned by a cutting-edge laboratory. S.H.I.E.L.D can only send a few agents such as Hawkeye to exist as observers.

At that time, no one, including Fury himself, believed that Ross could make a breakthrough in such a short period of time on the cube that had been studied by large national institutions for decades. But as strange events unfolded one after another, Fury suddenly realized that the situation might be very different from what he had imagined. This suspicion reached a climax after Barton returned. A group of powerful foreign aid such as Stark Industry came, and at the same time paid a large sum of money to the cutting-edge laboratory as compensation. Finally, Ross nodded and agreed with great difficulty, obtained control of this place, and concentrated manpower and material resources again to develop this strange thing. study.

With all the employees of the cutting-edge laboratories withdrawn, the huge underground base has ushered in a new owner, scientific researchers and armed guards can be seen everywhere, the joint scientific research team of S.H.I.E.L.D, NASA and Stark Industries is no longer the same as before. The researchers are so scruples, they try every means to touch the power of the Rubik's Cube, the energy tide erupts from time to time like a lively volcano, scientists are eager to find a way to use it as soon as possible through more direct contact like Ross.

Escorted by several guards, Fury walked through the heavily guarded passage and came to a room. He glanced sideways at the depths of the corridor with blue lights flashing, then stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, and walked in alone.

There were only four people in the room. Commander Hill and Agent Phil Coulson stood on the side near the gate. The two young men were immersed in the operation of the equipment. A transparent isolation cabin was placed in the center.

Returning from Otherworld, Barton was lying in the isolation cabin with his eyes closed, wearing only a pair of shorts, his upper body showing strong and abnormal muscles, his head was connected to dozens of densely packed slender cables, colorful miniature lights were neatly distributed on the instrument, and Watching Barton's breathing and pulse flickering on and off.

Seeing his boss push the door in, Hill and Phil Coulson greeted him at the same time.

"Sir, are there any results from the meeting discussions?" Hill asked.

"The president decided to bypass Congress and launch a military strike on Wakanda." Fury replied deadpan.

"Didn't Senator Stern stop it?" Phil Coulson was a little surprised.

In the Betty kidnapping case, by interrogating Sitwell, who was arrested, Fury caught the senator who was thrown out as a scapegoat, and Stern had to temporarily obey his orders

This time it was also Fury's instruction, and he jumped out to make things difficult for the cutting-edge laboratory. Phil Coulson thought that Stern, who is the head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, could have some effect. But things were beyond his expectation.

"Senator Kelly made a report, Thaddeus pushed hard, and Ross led behind, they are not one person, but an interest group, and this is not the need of one group, many groups desire this war, in these In front of other people, Stern's role is very limited." Fury shook his head, he had already guessed that there would be such a result, and Stern's action was just a temptation. As a director, one should not only have professional skills, but also need a keen political vision and be good at analyzing current situations. In this regard, Hill and Phil Coulson are still far behind.

Not wanting to mention the matter again, Fury brought Hill's attention back to his eyes.

"Tell me about Barton. How is he doing now?"

"Everything is normal, only the memory of the missing month is fuzzy. We think he was brainwashed by some kind of technology or super-ability. Fortunately, two geniuses from SHIELD Academy have put forward some opinions. We are trying to reproduce Barton's memories. Phil Coulson extended his hand to introduce two young men, a man and a woman, to Fury. They are young and young agents full of youthful vigor and easy to like.

"Leo Fitz. 27

"Jemma Simmons."

The young couple pointed at each other and called each other's name.

"Mr. Fitz specializes in construction machinery, and Miss Simmons specializes in biochemistry. They originally wanted to sign up to join the Rubik's Cube research team, but now Barton can't do without them

Phil Coulson added further.

"What are you going to do, use that thing to remind Barton of the experience?" Fury asked, frowning, a little suspicious of what the two young men had invented.

"In fact, we're going to decode the Barton agent's brain, scan the active regions of the brain directly, get information by sorting out the voxels that respond most to the stimulus, and then feed them into the pattern classifier. Once the program has enough Samples can reproduce what the experimental subjects saw and heard." Facing the director [Fitz replied somewhat cautiously.

"...Can you describe it in a language I can understand?" A series of technical terms made Fury a little dazed.

"What he meant was that we put some electrodes on the surface of the brain's superior temporal gyrus, which is an intermediate stage involved in speech processing, and the diencephalon, and the diencephalon connects to the optic nerve, and then we extract from the information recorded by the electrodes. Identify key features, and re-decode brain activity through the brain-computer interface." Gemma Simmons quickly explained on behalf of her companion.

But her explanation made Fury even more confused. He, Phil Coulson and the others looked at each other and saw that they also spread their hands helplessly, so he coughed and decided not to talk to the two scientists on this incomprehensible topic. Continue the discussion.

"To put it simply, we use instruments to analyze part of Barton Agent's memories, and then reproduce them through the output device, so that others other than himself can see them, but we must state in advance that although we have obtained the consent of Barton Agent, for the sake of safety , we'd better not try again, or it may hurt his brain nerves."

Under the guidance of the two young people, Fury and others put on VR glasses one after another. Barton's memories will be displayed on the lenses in front of their eyes through virtual reality technology.

At first the lens was pitch black, and gradually some rays of light appeared in the darkness, and various colors appeared in the deep space. This is a normal response to the weak electric current stimulating the cerebral cortex.

Fury and others waited patiently for a few minutes, more and more streams of light appeared in the field of vision like a waterfall, and the speed gradually increased. When everything around them fell into endless brilliance, the center of the lens suddenly seemed to explode like a crack , a bright gap appeared, and then the crack became bigger and bigger, and sometimes clear and sometimes distorted images began to appear.

This is the life Barton has experienced. The deeper his memory is, the clearer the picture will be. When he is not focused enough, the picture will become dim and blurred.

"This is... Natasha Romanoff?" Just as Fury was watching intently, a familiar red-haired woman appeared in front of him.

In a fighting room dedicated to high level agents, the red-haired woman in front of Barton, wearing a loose fighting suit, suddenly jumped up and knocked Barton down with a judo move, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

Everyone present knew that this was Black widow Natasha Romanoff Romanoff, and Hawkeye usually liked to hang around her most.

...asking for flowers...

The screen trembled violently, and it could be seen that Hawkeye fell heavily. When the image was clear again, Barton's position had changed, and Natasha Romanoff disappeared, replaced by another woman---he was standing In the obstetrics and delivery room, I looked down at the pregnant strange woman on the bed, and cooperated with the busy doctor to hold her hand tightly.

"Hehe!" Fury heard a sneer of unknown meaning from Hill, but this was his subordinate's private|life|life, and as a boss, it was inconvenient for him to comment.

With the stimulation of the electrodes, one picture after another rotates rapidly, and the scenes Barton passed by are constantly flying, sometimes advancing along time, sometimes skipping several stages, or simply reverse the order, but no matter what the order is, Barton usually hides In the bottom of my heart, or long-forgotten things, all are now unreservedly presented in front of Fury and others.

Personal life, first pass.

Mission experience, has disappeared.

Time passed little by little, and Barton's memory gradually approached the time when he disappeared.

While Fury was staring intently, the screen suddenly lit up, and a scene appeared in front of his eyes.

In the sky, steel battle armors circled and criss-crossed, freezing rays and fiery flames radiated everywhere, and exoskeleton battle suits, big and small, jumped non-stop among the crowd.

"If possible, Stark should really show it." Phil Coulson couldn't help but said from the other side.

Fury didn't speak, he stared closely at the two erratic streamers of light on the square, the red was as bright as blood, a yellow shadow was looming, and the other was a brighter blue light, piercing the vast night like a cold long sword.

This blue light looks familiar...

Fury thought quietly.

Across the picture, an archer wearing a green cloak stood alone in the wilderness, facing Barton far away.

The clarity of this scene far surpasses any previous one, and it can be seen how hard Hawkeye was at the time. If it wasn't for an opponent of similar strength, he would never have been so cautious.

Without Fury's instructions, Phil Coulson automatically memorized the green cloak's body outline and movement characteristics. After reading it, he would immediately go to the S.H.I.E.L.D database of dangerous people to find a comparison answer. This was the first time he saw someone who could use archery Against Barton.

The lights and shadows changed, and the intense | thrilling battle scene ended. The three of Fury breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't experience it personally, they naturally had a sense of being there from Hawkeye's perspective. The feeling of being on the verge of life and death was like being stabbed tightly in the throat by a sharp knife, which made them very uncomfortable.

Finally, Barton's consciousness flashed back to the underground base again, and he suddenly fell into the endless void, and countless lights and shadows flooded in like torrents. The feeling of darkness, coldness, and claustrophobia tortured him crazily, and he fell endlessly downward like falling into an abyss come down.

Fury held his breath, he forgot all the movements of the outside world, his whole heart quietly suspended in his chest cavity.

Then a ray of light gradually enlarged below, like an opened door, ushering in guests from afar.

Suddenly, a new world appeared before his eyes.

A black shadow stood quietly in front of him, surrounded by blue lightning.

Before Fury could take a closer look, Barton's memories were covered by a sea of ​​flames. The orange flames surrounded him tightly like a boundless ocean. In the silence, the whole world was swept away by invisible power and turned into ashes.

Fury took off his glasses silently, a very bad guess lingered in his mind. .
