Director Nick Fury did not go to work at S.H.I.E.D. headquarters, but was drinking coffee leisurely in a small cafe by the sea. Although he pretended to appreciate the beautiful scenery outside the window, anyone could know that he was frowning, and he would definitely not be in a good mood now.
This small shop was a safe house he prepared many years ago when he was an agent. He originally thought that this place would never be opened again!
But unexpectedly, he still used it today. Nick Fury was waiting for someone. Maybe only here can make him feel at ease. Unfortunately, after today, this place may not be safe anymore, right?
This is really ironic, hey! If you say it out, no one else will believe it! The director of SHIELD, who is responsible for maintaining the security of the earth, is actually worried about finding a place where you can talk safely?
While Nick Fury was waiting a little impatiently, a heroic woman in a tight-fitting suit that was easy to fight and had short hair pushed open the door of the shop and walked in. This was the person Nick Fury was waiting for here today - Maria Hill, a level 9 agent of SHIELD!
In Director Nick Fury's view, Hill's ability is unquestionable, both in combat skills, command and dispatch abilities are first-class. Otherwise, she would not have reached the level of a level ninth agent at a young age.
Although Hill sometimes often questioned his decisions and did not blindly follow his orders. Strictly speaking, it was not his absolute subordinate, but Nick Fury looked at the entire S.H.I.E.D., perhaps she was the only one who could help him solve the problem in front of him.
He also considered Colson or Melinda, but firstly, the level of the two of them was not enough, and secondly, the ability was too one-sided, so he might not be able to compete with it... So, in the end, he discovered that Maria Hill became his only choice!
"Director, what's wrong with me?" Hill looked at the environment in the store vigilantly, and then walked to Nick Fury's table and stood there. She knew that since the director asked her to come here, there must be some secret task to hand over to her.
"You are finally here! Sit down first. Don't worry, it's safe at the moment, and no one will eavesdrop on our conversation." Nick Fury waved his hand and signaled Hill to sit opposite his seat.
After seeing Hill sitting upright, Nick Fury opened the coffee in front of him, put his hands on the table, crossed his fingers, and looked straight at Hill with one eye. He didn't know what he was thinking. It took him a long time to take a deep breath and speak again.
"Hill, can I trust you?"
"Please give orders, Director!" Hill refused to comment.
Since the other party asked her to come here, there must be an important task to her in private. As long as it does not violate the purpose of S.H.E.L.D., she will spare no effort to complete it!
"Very good!" Nick Fury nodded, then took out a unique diamond ring from his pocket, put it on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Hill.
"Director? What do you mean?" Hill was shocked! He stood up in panic. After being surprised, her eyes began to become sharper, and she stared at Nick Fury with a cold face.
What does he mean? He asked himself to come to this coffee shop and then gave himself a diamond ring? Is he proposing to himself? What a joke! When did he show the little meaning of his liking him? How could she possibly like this? Well... this one-eyed dragon's black charcoal head?!
"Sit down first, Hill... This is actually not what you think!"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Director Nick Fury was stunned for a while, and then he suddenly realized.
It seems that Hill must have misunderstood. His face turned red with a rare moment. This is really embarrassing! If Hill misunderstood what he meant just now, it would be a big incident. Fortunately! Fortunately!
"Then what are you doing?" Hill sat down again and frowned at the ring on the table. You suddenly asked someone to come here, and you handed over a diamond ring without even speaking clearly. Anyone who is a woman will misunderstand it? How low is your emotional intelligence?
"This is how it is..."
Nick Fury recalled the deal with Anne at that time... After Anne used mind reading to obtain the secret deep in Pierce's heart, she packed the content and used magic to transmit it to Nick Fury's mind.
At that moment, Nick Fury seemed to become Pierce, and in less than an hour, he quickly read Pierce's life, knowing everything he came into contact with, knowing his secrets, and knowing his true identity. It was a name that Nick Fury didn't want to recall - Hydra!!!
At the beginning, Nick Fury was unwilling to believe it. He would never believe it. Pierce was actually a senior executive of Hydra? He would not believe it. The entire S.H.I.E.L.D. was corrupted by Hydra.
But after thinking about it, he felt relieved again.
Anne, the alien little girl, probably hadn't heard the word Hydra before she met Pierce? With those real scenes, it could not have been forged, right? Because there are many scenes where Nick Fury had secretly talked with former director Pierce before being the director. At that time, Anne was probably still a cell! She could not have forged these. Since that is the case, I'm afraid this may be true!
"Hydra? How is this possible? Haven't they been destroyed long ago?" Hill of course knew what Hydra was and what the name meant! So, her face began to become serious. She finally knew why the director secretly called her here, because S.H.E.E.L.D. may not be called S.H.E.L.D. now!
"This ring was made by Anne for me. Well, there are only two strange magic equipment in total. I'll give you one now. It can determine whether a person belongs to Hydra within ten meters! If so, it will emit a faint colorful light, just like when a real diamond reflects! If not, it will not react!"
Nick Fury was very satisfied with this simple and practical identification tool. Although he could only determine whether it was a Hydra or not, and he could not determine who was from other forces! But this is enough! And this method is very concealed. After all, no one would doubt the diamond ring in a person's hand, right? Isn't it normal for the diamond ring to reflect colorful light?
This magic is really practical. He kept wondering whether to let Colson and the others fool Xiao Annie and ask her to train several mages for S.H.E.L.D. or write a few magic books?
Tsk! This idea is probably not easy to realize. After all, Anne's little slippery trick is too difficult to deal with. If there are not enough benefits to make her moved, she may not submit easily, right?
I just don’t know what she likes besides a flying vehicle? This requires Colson and the others to take the time to ask carefully. S.H.I.E.L.D., so there should be something she likes, right?
"You mean, this ring can tell the Hydra?" Hill picked up the diamond ring skeptical and looked at it in the sunshine!
What made her feel amazing was that it did not reflect a slight colorful light in this situation? What material is it made of? Because even if it is made of glass, it will reflect a beautiful colorful light in the sun, right? It seems that this thing is indeed a magical thing!
"Since you can tell the Hydra, why don't you take thunder action directly and destroy them in one fell swoop?" Hill felt that since this thing is so useful, what are you waiting for? Directly mobilize your strength to eliminate those damn Hydras in one fell swoop!
"No, Hill...at least half of the people at the headquarters are Hydra members! In this case, how dare I act rashly when you let me?" Nick Fury shook his head.
He thought so at first, but after he wandered around the headquarters in the name of inspection, he completely dispelled this idea.
Because, he found that when he was wandering in various departments, the colorful light of the diamond ring in his hand never stopped... What does this mean? This means that there are people from Hydra everywhere in S.H.E.L.D. headquarters! Perhaps it is more appropriate to call Hydra headquarters now?
Moreover, this ring can only distinguish Hydra within ten meters! There are so many people in SHIELD and so many branches around the world. Do you still have to let him distinguish one by one?
Let’s not talk about whether there is this time. Even if there is, will Hydra people be fools? Will they give him this opportunity? Once you act rashly and see the signs for them, you may immediately turn the other way?
By then, S.H.E.L.D. will be destroyed in an instant, and Nick Fury will become a sinner of S.H.E.L.D., and maybe even a sinner of all mankind!
"It turns out to be like this?" Hill couldn't imagine that half of the partners she worked with were Hydras when she was fighting with her?
This bad situation made her tremble. She would rather fight face to face with the enemy than beware of the bullets that would come from behind at any time! That was really terrible! In that case, who else would she dare to trust? She now understands the difficulties of the director.
"Director, please give the order! What do I need to do?" He lowered his head and thought about it. Hill couldn't come up with any good solutions for a while. However, after seeing the diamond ring in his hand, she suddenly understood something... Maybe this thing is an opportunity to break the deadlock!
"Very good! It seems you figured it out, then, I will transfer you to the New York branch tomorrow as the director. Do you know what to do?"
Nick Fury felt that since SHIELD is now full of holes, then you should not be careful to send Hill to take a branch first, slowly remove the Hydra in the branch, and then use this branch as the basis point, either attack hard or boil the frog in warm water, and pull the Hydra out of SHIELD's body bit by bit!
"As for orders! Director! I understand." Hill nodded. Anyway, with this magical ring in his hand, it was not too easy to clean up a branch after distinguishing it!
What she needs to pay attention to is nothing more than a matter of means. Before the director completes the plan, she must take over the entire New York branch and cannot let Hydra notice it. This requires her to think carefully, but it should not be difficult.
"Okay, you go back first! I will sign the transfer order for you tomorrow." The matter was resolved, Nick Fury nodded, picked up the coffee and took a sip, indicating that Hill could leave first.
Hill stopped talking nonsense, put the ring on her ring finger and walked straight out of the store. After she came out, Hill realized that she seemed to have seen an exact same ring on the director's hand? After all, the shapes of these two rings are too unique, and outsiders may be able to tell at a glance that they are a pair, right?
So, if the unmarried woman also brings a ring exactly the same as him, what will the others in SHIELD think after seeing it? Agent Hill has joined Director Black Charcoal Head? The two have secretly gotten married?
Oh! God! This is much scarier than Hydra!
Hill quickly pulled the ring off his hand, and was a little at a loss for a moment. Why did he have to make this thing in the style of a ring? The black charcoal head must have been intentional, right? No! She would never wear a ring exactly like him, but she would rather go to a gold shop first and ask them to wrap the ring with a different layer. Anyway, she would not wear a ring of the same style as the black charcoal head, and she would never!
