Chapter 268 The Omen of Sokovia's Fall

Chapter 268 The Omen of Sokovia's Fall

Back at the Avengers Building, Charles bid farewell to Captain America and others, and returned to his office alone. Jessica, Trish, and Laura were not in the office, but they left a note, and they went out to go shopping Now, let Charles feel that he is not the only one in this world who likes to have fun.

After tidying up the office a little and allowing himself to think comfortably, Charles began to think back on why he still felt uneasy after he warned Tony and after Dr. Banner gave him a guarantee. He always felt that he had missed something.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't figure it out. Charles just spent two days like this. During these two days, Charles also called several times to confirm how Tony's inspection was going. The reply from Tony and Banner was that everything went well. They were just checking, which made Charles frowned even tighter, because Charles found that not only Tony was hiding something, but Bruce Banner was also hiding something.

Charles, who didn't know what happened, found out that Dr. Banner was also hiding something from himself, and his mood fell to the bottom. After all, he and the Avengers were not the same way. It seems that the two still embarked on the road of researching Ultron. , His own warning was simply forgotten by the two of them.

Just when Charles was going to watch the Avengers kill himself and then wipe his own ass, and never cared about this shit, Charles received a call from Coulson. Skye, who hadn't contacted him all this time, suddenly used the emergency channel to contact Coulson said that Reina used her superpower to see a dangerous scene, and Sokovia fell.

"It's none of my business that Sokovia fell. Can I warn the Sokovians not to raise their country to the sky? Or, do you mean that the earth collapsed and this country fell to I went underground, let me go underground to see why the earth collapsed?"

When Charles heard the news from Reina, he no longer planned to take care of this matter, said a little emotionally, and then angrily hung up the call with Coulson.

Then Coulson made a few more phone calls, but it was a pity that Charles asked Victor to hang up all of them, and then Coulson stopped calling. Without Coulson's interruption, Charles suddenly felt that he was in his little Staying in the nest is pretty good, so I don’t plan to go out to manage things anymore. Ultron will let the Avengers solve it by themselves, they can handle it anyway.

At this time, there was a sound of parking outside the door, and Charles rolled his eyes. Coulson, a lingering guy, actually came over in person. It seems that the abnormality of Charles this time made Coulson feel the need to take a look in person. up.

"Oh, Coulson, you, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., are not busy warning the Sokovia government not to raise their own country to the sky, how come you still have time to hang out with me, is this a waste of taxpayers' money ?” When Charles saw Coulson walking in, he sneered.

"Charles, what happened, who made you angry? Or, who can make you angry? Laura? What did she do?" Coulson sat in front of Charles and asked what happened to Charles now the reason for this state.

In Coulson's mind, Charles is a free person who is unwilling to take care of things. Except for Laura, S.H.I.E.L.D. has not found anything to make Charles care about, so Charles has not been able to be threatened. If you want to rely on When Laura threatens Charles, one thing needs to be considered first. After Charles has done what he asked, will he let Laura go? Will he be retaliated if he lets Laura go? Runaway, so Laura is not Charles's weakness, but Charles's reverse scale.

Of course, these are not the troubles of S.H.I.E.L.D., Charles doesn’t care about everything, and at the same time, he doesn’t want to be a master. Charles has no ambitions, and Charles is also very willing to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D., so Charles and Cole Sen's cooperation has always been pleasant. This time, Skye told himself about Sokovia, and immediately asked Charles for help when he had no idea, because Coulson believed that Charles still belonged to a man with justice. As a sensitive person, in the face of a country's disaster, Charles is still willing to provide some help.

But what he received was different from before. Coulson would accept Charles' nonsense and finally reveal a little bit of information. In the end, he might blackmail himself, but Coulson never thought about it. Charles would think about it too. I didn't think about it, and hung up the phone directly. This was a very abnormal behavior.

This abnormality of Charles immediately alerted Coulson. Coulson did not forget what Nick Fury told him about Charles's identity guess, and then dropped his work and came to Charles alone to check Condition.

"Laura is fine. I'm not angry. I'm just depressed. There's a difference between depression and anger. There's no reason why I'm depressed. Maybe it's because I've been in the house for a long time and I've become depressed."

At this time, Charles also shook off his depression, took two bottles of beer from the bar, threw a bottle to Coulson, and started drinking himself. The Avengers are the Avengers, and the intersection with them is not enough. Well, Coulson left his business and ran over because he was depressed, so he still wanted to show some face.

"Charles, I think we are already friends, so don't talk in such a foolish way between friends. Don't worry, if you don't intend to explain, I won't ask."

Coulson took the beer thrown by Charles, and after saying a word, he raised his head and drank the beer that Charles gave.

"Thank you, although from my point of view, I don't seem to have anything to thank." Charles also drank the wine, and asked with a playful tone, which made Coulson feel that Charles was indeed all right.

"Okay, I'm very happy to see that you're all right. I wonder if I can talk about Reina now. Is it possible for her prophecy to happen?"

Coulson took Skye's use of the emergency channel very seriously to contact him. Lena's superpower was actually precognition, and the thing she predicted was that Sokovia would fall from a high altitude, and this fall might destroy the earth. But Lena's prediction was just a prediction, with no cause or effect at all. Coulson had no way to ask SHIELD's countermeasures department to analyze this matter. He had just stabilized SHIELD's internal sentiment about the Theta Protocol, and now he was exposed again. If he actually caused trouble again because of a prophecy made by a superpower, SHIELD would explode.

So Coulson can only turn to the outsiders of S.H.I.E.L.D., and they must be trustworthy. Charles is the first choice, and Lena is still his subordinate. Regarding Lena's prediction, I don't need to convince Charles to believe it. thing.

"Rena's precognition can indeed determine some things, but no one knows whether or how these things will happen. Therefore, if you want to change the outcome of this matter, you must know more information to be sure. What do you need to do."

Charles knew what Colson was talking about, and confirmed to Colson that Lena's prediction was indeed accurate, but how to change this prediction? Sorry, Charles has already tried it once, and the result was not good.

"Charles, is there nothing we can do?" Coulson confirmed to Charles that Lena did have the ability to prophesy, and he didn't feel at ease at all, because it represented that the earth was facing the danger of destruction, so he asked Charles plan.

"I really have no choice, but for this kind of threat that can threaten the safety of the earth, are you asking the wrong person? I remember that there is a group of arrogant guys called the Avengers on the earth, why don't you go to them Go." Charles finally gave Coulson a clear path and asked him to contact the Avengers. As for what those guys could do, Charles didn't know.
