Marvel's Speedster

S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters, strategic command rooms.

The crowd was crowded, and the bells rang endlessly. The information from Pelican Island was collected by various departments and sent to the discussion table of the high-level bureaucrats, so that they had a clear understanding of the frontline warfare.

Although there is no personal experience, seeing those text and video materials is enough for high level agents to understand how serious the local situation is.

In the past ten minutes, the huge|huge bridge was broken by the leader of Mutant. Magneto led thousands of mobs to forcefully rush to the laboratory building of Watsonton Pharmaceuticals, and exchanged fire with the elite troops stationed there by the military. , Both sides suffered heavy casualties.

If the politicians in the White House hadn't convinced the only remaining moderate, Mutant Beast Hank, and S.H.I.E.L.D had sent Phil Coulson agent in time to lobby the just-emerged Fantastic Four and several other superheroes, the lab would have been completely taken over by Magneto.

But despite these boosts, the situation is getting worse.

Field agents with rich combat experience can fully see from the video sent back from the scene that the young Fantastic Four cannot pose a threat to Magneto at all. Once the powerful king of magnetism fully exerts its power, what awaits them is a shameful retreat.

"Where is Stark, criminals are wreaking havoc in New York, why hasn't he appeared yet?" Agent Garrett asked a little sullenly, in this kind of large-scale conflict of superpowers, his usual methods are very real. Not useful.

"He invited Hollywood stars to a grand drag party at his mansion in Los Angeles today, and I guess he won't be back in time." Ms. Hand replied in place of Phil Coulson, who was not present

Phil Coulson was Tony's point of contact, and apart from him, the playboy wouldn't let anyone get close at all.

But things are bad right now, and every ounce of help counts.

In addition to the immediate turmoil brought about by Mutant, there is also constant pressure from many affected outsiders. In the news bombardment of unscrupulous media, the partial conflict between Mutant and Watsonton Pharmaceuticals was misinterpreted as Mutant's full-scale attack on New York. This news immediately caused a war panic in New York and even the East Coast. Citizens everywhere imagined the city was attacked by mutants and invaded by superpowers based on hearsay, and all powerful departments of the federal government heard frantic calls to defend the city.

Now it’s like a replay of the Spanish-American War more than a hundred years ago. In addition to the telegrams and letters expressing toughness and indignation from non-warring states, politicians representing the interests of threatened regions have stood up and issued a joint call for an armistice. All kinds of pressure almost made the White House, who was caught off guard, overwhelmed.

Many people believe that if the federal government does nothing further, nervous Wall Street financiers may even relocate to the mainland because they are worried about the safety of their investment bonds, and powerful real estate developers will also lower their East Coast funds according to the development of the situation. If the proportion of the industry is low, the impact of these measures on the US economy will be far faster and more violent than the suppression of Mutant.

If it was in other places other than North America, the politicians might immediately come up with several ways to quell the riots, but now the main battlefield is the United States after all, and it happened in New York, the largest city. Besides the financial and cultural center, it is also The hottest real estate market in the world, with an appraised value of more than one trillion U.S. dollars, a figure that is almost equal to the gross domestic product of Mexico and larger than the economic aggregates of South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, members of the G20 a lot of.

In such a place, who dares to bear the consequences of letting the show go on?

Therefore, the options of the White House are actually very limited. It is impossible for them to let the situation escalate. Finding some excuse to get off the stage without losing face is their most urgent task at present. The next step will be a long-term, happening A silent war out of public view.

Until one of them completely collapses.

The last time was against the evil Soviet Union, but this time it was against Mutant. Although the overall strengths of the two are far apart, if you think about it carefully, in this new competition model, the side with stronger overall strength does not necessarily mean that it will be able to win. occupy an absolute advantage.

Unless there is a breakthrough in those shady behind-the-scenes research, until then it's best to take a softer approach.

Fury understood this, and he hadn't considered some of his men's radical proposals in the first place.

Knocking on the table, the director interrupted the discussion of the high level agents.

"The policy of the White House fluctuates every term, so we need to maintain a relatively stable attitude. For those superhumans, this is more important than any sweet talk."

"My concern is that we are bringing to the surface an unprecedented alliance of Mutants. Stryker destroyed the Mutant Academy and forced the moderate faction underground, but instead of a catastrophic blow to Mutants, Magneto lost control, and then A new powerful Mutant Speed ​​has risen. For the Mutant Brotherhood, we can infiltrate, but for the latter, we don't know much about it except limited records. We don't know whether these people will form a new balance, or join the Magneto Therefore, in this riot, we must exercise restraint and avoid stimulating more Mutants to fight against humans."

Fury's will is S.H.I.E.L.D's program of action, which even the World Security Council cannot veto.

"Sir!"

At this moment, the researcher behind took off his earphones and shouted back.

"An abnormal energy response occurred on Long Island."

The researcher said, pointing out the heat surge records fed back from space by the spy satellite to his boss.

A few steps to the satellite display, on the high-resolution screen, Fury saw a thrilling fiery red in the center of the enlarged map of the eastern islands.

"What happened there?"

Fury was talking to himself, a one-eyed spirit|light flickering.

When S.H.I.E.L.D spotted the Long Island heat surge, the warring parties on Pelican Island also noticed the soaring pillar of fire rising to the east.

Far away, they seemed to be able to hear the rolling thunder roaring in the clouds.

Magneto smiled, knowing that the outcome of this battle was beyond doubt.

If it wasn't for him not wanting to shield Ross from the limelight, the young people on the opposite side would not be his counterparts at all.

What's more, his subordinates can provide some assistance to some extent. After this battle, the Brotherhood leader can also see who is more worthy of training and trust, so now his desire to fight is not very strong. Next, he only needs to confirm that Jimmy is eliminated. It's ok, there's no need to continue pestering.

"Do you still want to continue the fight?" Magneto teased, and waved his hand to issue an order. Under the control of his confidants, the two warring parties gradually disengaged.

The Fantastic Four and Beast Hank didn't know what was going on, they looked at each other for a while, a little undecided, but it's not a bad thing to have a chance to breathe.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, some people present suddenly turned their attention to the sea to the east.

In that turbulent sea area, a thin waterline is rapidly expanding, pointing directly at the battlefield.

Then people heard a strange sound, this sound flickered, seemed to be close to the ear, and seemed to come from the far side of the ocean. The source of the sound was the black part that separated the wind and waves and stirred up the waves It is approaching the Pelican Island laboratory at an unbelievable speed.

"Extreme speed!"

The Phil Coulson agent present shouted loudly.

Following his shout, the black shadow rushed out of the sea in an instant, and appeared in front of everyone with countless tiny blue lightnings.

Ross, who was moving at full speed, was completely different from usual, with countless scales erected all over his body, as if he was a powerful devil conceived from the darkness. As soon as he appeared, the brightly lit square in front of the building went dark. People didn't have time to react to his arrival, and they stood there stiffly, feeling a bone-chilling chill on their bodies.

With the slow changes in the outside world, Ross was in the middle of the two warring parties in an instant. Without any hesitation, he reached out and pressed the chest of Ben Grimm, the largest stone man among the Fantastic Four.

At this moment, time seems to freeze, the airflow is almost static, the sound also breaks down, the whole world becomes silent, it seems that all changes are leaving people's senses.

Then Ross's hand fell on the stone man.

The world returns to normal.

People's eyes blurred, and the stone man who was so bulky that he could step on the floor into small holes was like a bundle of straws and was thrown away by the black shadow that suddenly struck.

Under the illumination of the lights, the stone man flew tens of feet away like a cannonball from the chamber, crashed into the military's heavily guarded laboratory building with a bang, and rolled to the ground with the soldiers who couldn't dodge behind.

All of a sudden, the building was in a state of chaos. Wherever the human body passed by, the glass of doors and windows shattered into countless crystal fragments in the light, the metal door frame was squeezed into twisted shapeshifting, and the concrete walls were knocked out to collapse, and the masonry and cement rustled along the cracks. It fell down, and the dust that poured down filled the surroundings of the building.

At the moment Ross's avatar's speed had just landed.

Only then did the combative Human Torch Johnny come back to his senses.

"Look at mine!"

He yelled, and his body rolled in flames, and the fiery air wave rushed to Ross's black mask.

Beside Johnny, Reed, nicknamed MR.Fantastic, also hastily stretched out his arms.

"Susan, use that trick!"

Reed reminded his ex-girlfriend loudly that after accepting his super-ability, they had discussed how to cooperate, and finally found some combination methods. Now although the stone man who was used as a meat shield was blown away, if the opponent's actions can be restricted , Johnny uses high temperature to attack, and then Susan uses the invisible force field to control the fire, so it is not a fantasy to want to defeat a powerful enemy.

But at this critical juncture, he hesitated for a moment.

In less than a second, the other party reached out and grabbed Reed's neck, and the two of them paused slightly in the air, and then MR.Fantastic was lifted up by an unusually powerful hand, like waving a flag Like pushing in front of Johnny.

Caught off guard, Johnny didn't have time to close the flames, and was hit by Reed in a blink of an eye, and the two were thrown flying like Siamese twins, and fell far away on the fortification in front of the building

At the moment, Susan realized that she didn't intend to do anything at all. She hurriedly glanced at the shadow on the opposite side, turned around and ran in the direction of her younger brother.

"Fire and kill him!"

The Fantastic Four were out of action, the military commander issued orders desperately, and the battlefield that had just calmed down once again fell into a dust battle. Countless bullets were fired like Ross.

Lines of fire flickered, but they did not meet the expected obstacles.

The sneer on the commander's face froze immediately, and then he heard a scream from the intense gunshots around him.

He turned his head suddenly, and saw one of his subordinates let go of the machine gun, and his body collapsed limply.

Others reacted more slowly than him, completely unaware of what was going on.

"The target is gone!"

A non-commissioned officer shouted in surprise.

Then someone noticed the speedster in black standing among the soldiers.

"Where is he!"

Someone shouted.

Without waiting for the gun to turn, Ross came to another heavy fire point at some point. Under the horrified eyes of the soldiers, he suddenly appeared in front of them, and then punched down.

In just a few seconds, the defense positions carefully configured by the military were destroyed by him.

It was a mess, people screamed 003 everywhere, and the flames and thick smoke from the explosion of ammunition could be seen everywhere.

On the way, he came into direct contact with the bullet screen, and countless bullets swarmed in like raindrops, but Ross rushed straight through the bullet rain as if he hadn’t seen it at all.

Without getting close to the body, he was pushed away at a high speed that was too fast to distinguish.

After a chaotic sound, the bullets fell to nothing, and the shooting soldiers were in a daze as if they had seen a ghost.

At the moment Ross also stopped paying attention to these guys who did not pose a threat at all. In the High-speed movement, he rushed up to Beast Hank and slapped him with a backhand.

This kind of person flew up violently, smashed through the defensive bunker behind him, and sank deeply into the hard wall. There was a creaking noise from the wall, and infinite waves were radiated outward with his body as the center.

Cracks like spider webs.

Bricks were flying, and the whole building was buzzing and trembling.

Above, unnoticed by people, two female figures flew into the building.

"It's over." Magneto saw Qin and Ororo go in from above, he said lightly, and ordered his men to start retreating.

After receiving the leader's order, the Mutants present retreated one after another. Under Brotherhood's organization, they had a way to escape human surveillance.

Ross and Susan looked at each other from a distance, but neither of them spoke.

Smoke and dust billowed in the building, and then there was a crackling sound, and a giant orange hand reached out and pushed open the collapsed doors and windows.

Then the huge figure of the stone man, scorched black, stepped out of the shadows.

Although he was hit violently, he didn't suffer any serious injuries, and now he can resist for a while, which is much better than his two companions.

Except for him, Susan did not participate in the battle among the four, so only Johnny and Reed were seriously injured. Although Reed's rubber man body is basically immune to physical blows, it is very

Unfortunately, he bumped into Johnny, and the high temperature caused some damage to his back, so he might have to go back and lie down for a few days.

Johnny was hit violently, so he had to lie down on the bed to rest for a while.

Not to mention Beast Hank and the military, Ross has no reservations about them.

For the sake of old friendship, Mystique took Hank away, and now the morale of the other party is even lower.

Many armed helicopters hovered far away from the island, afraid of being controlled by Magneto, no one dared to get too close to the island.

Ross ignored the others, too.

Not long after Qin and Ororo entered, a corner of the laboratory building suddenly collapsed, just like what Qin did in the Long Island Laboratory, and strands of fly ash gushed out along the cracks in the building

Dissipated in the vast night.

Following his line of sight, the humans present looked up, not knowing what happened.

When they came back to their senses, the square in front of them was empty, and all the attackers had left. .
