In the SHIELD psychiatrist's office, Schiller looked at the assessment report in his hand and said to Natasha sitting opposite: "Madam, there is nothing wrong with your mental health assessment report, and all indicators are normal.
It shows that you are mentally healthy, but your anxiety seems to be a little fluctuating than before. Is there anything bothering you recently?" Zhuang
"Ah..." Natasha uttered a syllable absentmindedly. The beautiful female agent smoothed her hair, turned her eyes back to Schiller and said, "It's nothing. It has nothing to do with SHIELD's work. It's my personal life."
Question, is this within your scope of function?”
"Any psychological problems of all members involved in the solar system development program are within the scope of my functions." Schiller replied, holding the paper in his hands and saying to Natasha: "Any communication and conversation you have with the psychiatrist,
They all adhere to the principle of confidentiality, so you can talk about your personal matters and I'm happy to listen."
Natasha's face did not show any obvious emotions. It was obvious that the female agent was still immersed in her work, but she seemed to have a special trust in Schiller, so she lowered her voice and said:
"Recently, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been paying attention to protests on New York's air transportation lines. More than 50 large and small protests broke out in the fringes of Brooklyn and the Bronx within a month."
"But this should be the jurisdiction of the FBI, right?" Schiller took his eyes away from the documents, put down the things on his hands, and leaned back on the chair, as if he was having a private conversation, with a relaxed tone.
question.
"Yes, it was the FBI that discovered traces of superpowers during the protests. They did not dare to act rashly, so they contacted S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Are you in charge of these tasks now?" Schiller asked.
"My subordinates." Natasha turned away her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and said: "Or rather, my subordinates' subordinates. There are too many major events on the earth now. A certain country, a certain city, a certain
The protests that occurred in this region are not even trivial matters."
"SHIELD is extremely short of people. The shortage of people is already there. This kind of thing only accounts for 1/5 of an agent's workload. We are paying attention to it, but we haven't started to deal with it yet. After all, the FBI is here. The situation is
It won’t spread very seriously.”
"Then why do you say this is your private matter? As of now, it should still be work, right?"
Natasha nodded, her face became more serious, she pursed her lips slightly and said: "Just the day before I went for a psychological evaluation, Banner found me. He said that a friend of his was in Brown
He was injured by the police during a protest in the Kremlin district."
"Has an armed conflict broken out?" Schiller leaned forward slightly and asked.
"It was a pushing incident." The female agent didn't even frown as she spewed out a series of information smoothly: "Protesters crowded the streets of the Bronx, and local police and FBI agents arrived.
At the scene, we found a small group of gangs breaking into a local convenience store and committing vandalism, smashing, and looting."
"The police used a Taser to subdue the gang leader. As a result, a young man suddenly rushed up and tried to grab the policeman's neck. The FBI agent shot directly, but was dodged. His companions covered him and escaped.
, they were all pushed to the ground within a few seconds." Zhuan
"Every shot was fired, can it be considered a pushing incident?"
"No one was hit." Natasha shook her head and said: "There are only two types of similar incidents, one is a pushing incident, and the other is a bloodshed incident. There is no middle value. The specific difference is that the police fired shots
"Whether there were actual bloody casualties after the warning was given, obviously there was no such thing, so it was considered a pushing incident."
"Banner is that young man's friend?"
"Not even close." Natasha shook her head again and said: "The father of one of the accomplices who covered the young man's escape was the manager of the parking lot in Banner's neighborhood. After this father's son was arrested, he was
Six counts were charged, requiring high bail."
"His father was hiding in the security booth while working and crying. He happened to meet Banner after work. As you know, Banner is actually a thoughtful person, exceptionally gentle and sensitive, but at the same time, he is also a bit too introverted and a scholar.
, the problem of not being good at social interaction.”
"He has been in the laboratory recently and couldn't figure out who was responsible for this kind of thing. When he came to SHIELD to find me, he heard other people say that my team was paying attention to this matter, so he found it directly.
I."
Schiller also shook his head helplessly and said: "A serious over-the-level report, and he also talked to personal friends about official matters that may contain confidential information. Well, who makes him Bruce Banner? Every genius scientist is Nick
My big baby." Zhuang
Natasha burst out laughing, as if she heard the underlying meaning of Schiller's joke.
But she still stretched out her hand to smooth the hair on her forehead, and said with some sadness: "It is good for superheroes to be compassionate, or it is precisely because of their abundant compassion that they are superheroes, but they are too sympathetic to the weak.
Psychology affects rational judgment.”
"I described the real situation to Banner, but he still believed that the FBI and the police did not do the right thing. When faced with impulsive young people, they should focus on comforting them. He hoped that everyone could speak properly."
"In a sense, this is not wrong, but it is completely unrealistic." Natasha commented: "Faced with this situation, priority must be given to subduing or even killing. Hesitation will only further escalate the bloody conflict."
"A typical conflict between scientific researchers and security personnel." Schiller pointed out: "Madam, I think you should be able to see that these top scientific researchers are more or less idealistic and romantic, because only these magnificent
Only with fantasy can we calm down the depression and frustration caused by boring research data day after day.”
"They have to make this world a better place so that they can have the motivation to devote their whole life to it. They will not realize from personal experience like you that weak people are not just weak, they can also be evil and violent.
, there is some nonsense.”
"That's right." Natasha nodded and said: "Perhaps there were indeed unjust bloody conflicts. Among these more than 50 protests, there must be people who were wrongly accused and injured. I admit this, but I
I no longer have any sympathy for this, this is the basic skill of an agent." Zhuang
"What is noble is the person, not the profession, nor the social status. There are saints and bad people among the poor, and the same goes for the rich. In every group there are good people and bad people mixed together."
"And when two groups conflict, good and bad are intertwined. Everyone sees the good side of their own group and deliberately avoids seeing the bad side."
"But I don't want to expose this to Banner." The female agent shook her head so slightly that it was invisible. She continued: "There is no need for him to realize this. He is a genius scientist. Even if the world wants to
It was destroyed, and he was also one of the first people to board Noah's Ark, which is pretty good ideally."
"They are protected people, so they feel that they have the ability to protect others." Schiller relaxed his eyebrows and said: "Sympathy is very precious. If people can live in an ivory tower all their lives, isn't it a kind of happiness?"
"Okay, madam, I understand the specific circumstances of the matter and the argument about right and wrong, but what about your personal feelings?"
"Banner expects me to give him a result." Natasha pursed her lips into a tight line and said, "But obviously, there will be no result at all, but I don't want to let him down.
"
"The current fact is that SHIELD has no spare capacity to focus on this kind of thing because of the speculation of a super-powerful person who is chasing shadows. The FBI is fully capable of handling this matter."
"I don't want to waste my time on work and delay other work to satisfy my personal emotions. Maybe because of this, I am a little anxious, but I think it's not a big problem. I can adjust it myself, or you can give me some comfort."
You can also take a potion, mint flavored."
"Do you personally think there are any suspicious points worthy of attention in this incident?" Schiller asked, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Are you talking about someone instigating protests and intensifying conflicts?" Natasha said indifferently: "This is not a doubt, every protest in every country is indispensable."
"Perhaps some people did freely express their dissatisfaction in the early stage, but once the flame is lit, someone will add fuel to it, and the trouble will get out of hand. Sometimes there is more than one person and one force, so the vast majority
The way the state handles this kind of thing is to simply nip the symptoms."
"As for why we didn't do it, we can only ask the FBI what they do for food." Natasha's tone revealed obvious dissatisfaction. She said: "The FBI now seems to think that everyone in New York
They are all superpowers or potential superpowers. Anyway, as long as they are thrown to SHIELD, they have no responsibility."
"Do you think, with your current mental state, you are still capable of catching the shadow of a person with super powers?" Schiller asked again.
Only then did Natasha understand the hint in his words, so the female agent changed her posture. She no longer leaned on the back of the chair so relaxedly, but put her arms on the table, and her muscles became tense.
He stood up and was obviously immersed in work.
"I think it's too late. You've also seen my psychological evaluation report. Severe anxiety has engulfed my heart. I feel very sad and sad. I can hardly do this job anymore. Doctor, I need
rest."
"But, madam, you must understand that we are very short of people now." Schiller changed the subject. He seemed to have immediately exchanged positions with Natasha, and said: "Although this kind of job is less than one-tenth of an agent's.
workload, but we really can’t find an extra 100 agents to handle it.”
Natasha sighed with great regret and said: "Doctor, I can only say that the mental health assessment system you and Director Nick established is so prescient. If not, I might not be able to work in my position until
Mental breakdown.”
"But you made me understand the importance of resting and adjusting my mental state. So now, I will go to the handover department and suspend the work at hand."
"It seems that only Coulson can take over." Schiller stood up, shook hands with the female agent and said: "There is no need to feel worried or guilty about this. After all, Coulson has 60 of the more than 30,000 jobs at hand.
Tens of thousands of agents are supporting it."
"No, doctor, I'm still very worried about this. If you don't want my condition to worsen, you must agree to my request."
"Just tell me, madam, I will do my best." Zhuang
Natasha raised her head and raised one hand, and said in a dramatic tone: "Although my colleague Colson has a very strong working ability, he can implement everything into practice and pay attention to every detail.
However, obviously, the more than 30,000 tasks will inevitably distract him, and the personnel transfer of more than 600,000 agents is also a heavy burden that he has to bear. "
"In this case, I implore you, doctor, to help him pay more attention to the mental health of my department's agents, and never let them collapse due to too much work pressure like me."
"Don't worry, madam, I will go to your office now to understand the psychological and mental state of your subordinates in detail, without leaving any omissions."
"Then I'll be relieved. This way I can have some spare time to recuperate my spirit."
"By the way, let's deal with your personal emotional issues."
"...by the way."
The two hands clasped together vigorously, the female agent smiled and left briskly.
Three minutes later, in the office of the emergency response team where Natasha was located, Schiller slapped the document on the table with an expressionless face, crossed his arms and looked around. All the agents below were silent and did not dare to raise their heads.
"You failed to work as hard as you could." Schiller first made an argument in a cold tone, and then continued: "Black Widow was keenly aware of this, and pushed the work at hand to me, hoping that Nick would scold me.
She made a good move."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. A middle-aged female agent stood up and said, "She hid it from all of us. We don't know what she planned."
"It's useless to talk more." Schiller didn't even look at her, and began to pace in the room, and from time to time he glanced at everyone's face with cold eyes, and everyone who made eye contact with him was afraid.
lowered his head.
"Of course you can work hard under Natasha's hands. This female agent is just in the Cao camp and her heart is in the Han Dynasty, but Hydra only needs results."
"Now, without disrupting your work at hand, fully investigate the specific details of the protests that broke out in Brooklyn and the Bronx."
"In two days, I want the results! Don't pile up a bunch of boring data in front of me, I want the core solution!" Zhuang
Schiller said loudly:
"Get to work and remember, long live Hydra."
"Long live Hydra."
After saying that, Schiller left the room, closed the door, and quickly walked to the next door. He exchanged glances with a man sitting in the front row, immediately walked up to him, shook hands with him, and said directly in Russian:
"Comrade, have you heard about the protests by the lower class people that broke out in two major areas of New York? I know that these lackeys of capital are absolutely unreliable, and they want to suppress the people again."
"Yes, comrade, of course I have heard that. Since mankind has made substantial progress into the universe, we old men of the previous era have seen hope again. But in addition to the distant starry sky, we must also pay attention to the people on the earth.
"
Before Schiller could speak, another woman came up, looked at Schiller and said, "This is Natasha's scope of work, and we are planning to contact her."
"No, don't do that. This is making things difficult for her." Schiller quickly replied to her: "It's not easy to gain a foothold here. We can't trap another comrade in injustice."
"Nick intends to establish a new organization to deal with interstellar intelligence work, so he has no time to pay attention here. I have already handed over the work with Comrade Natasha, and then I will arrange the investigation of the protests."
"Of course, Comrade Schiller, we all agree that you are the only one in S.H.I.E.L.D. who can take on this important responsibility. You have already proved this with your actions. It is all your credit for us to be here. The comrades within the KGB will fully support it."
you."
"Don't say that. All the credit goes to the people. Since everyone has no objections, let's get started."
Schiller shook hands with them in turn, glanced around with sincere eyes, and said: "Put yourself into the great labor, comrade."
