I can only go elsewhere to grab the mission~

………………

In the city at night, various life-stealing things happen one after another. Sometimes everyone cooperates, sometimes kills each other, and when they are having a great time, SHIELD, which is huge and has the most appearances in the past, has always remained underwater.

of tranquility.

High-level agents have all been dispatched without exception, while low-level agents are deliberately shrinking.

Although outsiders can't see it, the senior agents within SHIELD know it very well.

Fury may be about to do something big.

This is not surprising. Every time S.H.I.E.L.D. has a large-scale event, senior agents will choose to be dispatched in a staggered manner in a planned manner.

Fury's defense against senior agents is no longer a day or two.

Everyone is used to it.

Besides, so what if you're not used to it. You're not the only one enjoying this kind of treatment.

…………

The only senior agent who has never been deployed is Hill.

He was said to be a senior agent, but at this time, Hill was only a sixth-level agent with eighth-level authority.

As Fury's deputy and secretary, and the next director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who was carefully trained, it is obvious that Hill's agent level cannot be deduced based on common sense.

Under special circumstances, Hill can receive tenth level authority.

From this point of view, although Hill, who is among a group of seventh-level and above agents, is only a sixth-level civilian adjutant, there is no problem in saying that she is a senior agent.

Trust is always the most precious emotion in SHIELD.

………………

The reason why Hill was not assigned overseas is that in the past two months, as Fury's deputy, she took over from the director who suddenly "went on a business trip" for unknown reasons, secretly supervising a plan.

The timetable for this plan alone stretches to several decades, including various predecessor plans, failed attempts, successors, confidential lists...

These documents alone weigh more than ten kilograms.

All of these documents have Level 10 confidentiality permissions.

Their common goal points to a term that was not blacked out until the last page of the plan.

[Cosmic Cube].

……………………

Hill was sitting in the office of the top leader of a S.H.I.E.L.D. base hidden in a chemical company, spinning his pen in his hand while thinking about the luminous stone in his mind.

She read all the information bit by bit.

She now knew exactly how dangerous that ghost thing was.

Hill didn't understand.

Why is Fury so... anxious?

Obviously the [Pegasus Project] many years ago had proven the danger and uncontrollability of that thing, but Fury still chose to continue with the next plan again and again, as if he would never stop studying the Rubik's Cube.

Establish projects and keep exploring.

Although Hill was Fury's deputy, at least on this point, Hill still had some different views on his attitude towards the Tesseract.

However, she knew that she could not understand Fury's thinking yet, and the review of many previous incidents had proved that Fury was right most of the time.

His foresight is worthy of being a leader.

Just like the view on the weirdo codenamed [Night Watch].

When he first came into contact with the information about the weirdo who did not have the title of Night Watchman at that time, Hill maintained the same view as the other senior agents present when faced with Fury's questioning.

"Protective Confinement".

Among the senior agents present, except for Coulson who was in charge of the matter at the time, Natasha who habitually abstained from voting and said nothing, and Sitwell who never made any useful points, most of them

Some agents also have this view.

However, Fury finally chose the "minority" opinion and agreed with Coulson's "exploratory contact" view.

Try to interact with that weirdo who is always giving people shit in a polite, non-aggressive way.

At that time, Hill thought that Fury's order would definitely make SHIELD regret it later.

In the end, she was wrong.

That guy became the night watchman of Hell's Kitchen.

Although the methods are a bit ruthless, the results are remarkable!

And SHIELD did get a lot of help from him.

Even Hill himself almost became his student.

"pity……"

Only two people learned something in the end.

And the one that can fly is now in this base.

"Flying... is really the eternal pursuit of mankind..."

Hill's thoughts also diverged in various ways, from the danger of the Cube to Fury's vision, from the Night Watch to Hawkeye's flying skills.

Just when I was imagining what code name I would get after I could fly, the red light on the table suddenly turned on!

"Um?!!"

Hill slapped the table and stood up, but did not panic. After answering the phone number in the laboratory below, he exchanged a few words and hung up the phone.

Thinking about the report coming from the laboratory below, Hill no longer hesitated and called Fury.

This is not a good opportunity to express yourself.

……………………

When Fury arrived by plane, time had just passed.

After getting off the helicopter, perfectly hidden in the night, Fury, who was dressed in pitch black, saw the base director who had come out from the front: Hill.

"You said on the phone that thing had strange reactions?"

At this time, Hill happened to have just come out of the underground laboratory. Hearing this, he replied directly: "Well, the doctor said that the energy fluctuations of that thing are very strange. It seems..."

"Go on." Fury asked without stopping.

After a quick glance at Fury's expression, Hill quickly replied: "It seems to be alive!"

Hill didn't see any other expected reaction from Fury. He didn't say a word, but he just walked faster.

…

Quickly arriving at the huge underground laboratory, Fury took Hill to meet the doctor who had been conducting experiments here.

"Doctor, you said..."

"See for yourself." The old man was also very bachelor, and he took Fury directly to the huge metal frame-like machine behind him that was still "glowing".

Fury and Hill hurriedly followed.

…

Even though he had seen it once before, Hill still had a bad feeling when he saw the constantly shaking Cosmic Cube again.

The trembling frequency and luminous frequency of that weird thing are really similar to...

a heart.

This is why doctors would say that it seems to be "alive".

All civilian staff and researchers have cleared out, leaving only the old professor. Counting the armed forces already in the base plus those brought by Fury, they are all here now.

Looking back at Hill, Hill shrugged understandingly and pointed to the top of his head.

Fury did not look up, but said loudly: "Barton!"

After a sound, a figure slowly fell from the sky and stood on the ground.

This time, no rope was used.

It is the combat supervisor assigned here to protect the professor and the Cosmic Cube, the senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Hawkeye.

"boss."

Fury nodded and asked, "When did it start?"

Hawkeye returned: "It has been forty minutes from the beginning to now, and its vibration frequency seems to have been getting faster, and there have been two high-frequency bursts of energy, just like..."

The professor standing aside said: "It looks like it's going to explode!"

High-frequency oscillations of energy?
