American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

“Taxi!”

He waved to stop a yellow taxi coming from the opposite direction.

Colin opened the door and sat in the back seat, and said to the driver: “Go to Second Avenue…”

The street where the accident happened was quite far from Colin’s apartment. Considering the poor subway environment in New York, Colin finally decided to take a taxi home.

It was a bit expensive, but at least he didn’t have to go to the subway station to smell those strange smells full of ‘long history’.

Sitting in the taxi, watching the street behind him gradually move away, Colin retracted his gaze and put his attention back on the taxi.

Nick Fury? !

However, when Colin’s eyes touched the taxi driver, the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank.

Looking at the man in the driver’s seat, driving the taxi silently and the black eye mask on his left eye, Colin’s heart suddenly set off a huge wave.

"Why is the director of SHIELD here?"

"Is this also a [distorted time node]? If so, it's a bit too exaggerated!"

"The director of SHIELD has fallen to the point of driving a taxi... But then again, from aircraft carriers to taxis, Nick Fury's range of driving vehicles is quite wide..."

In his mind, all kinds of things intertwined, making Colin a little confused, and at the same time, Nick Fury in the driver's seat noticed a clue.

"Guest..."

Glancing at Colin through the rearview mirror on the car, Nick Fury spoke with concern in a low voice.

"...You look a little bad. Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to take you to the nearest hospital?"

"No, no thanks."

In the back seat, Colin shook his head to reject Nick Fury's kindness, calmed down his chaotic thoughts, and said in a frightened tone: "I'm just a little scared when I think of the explosion in the block."

"Indeed."

Hearing Colin's explanation, Nick Fury nodded with empathy. He retracted his gaze from the rearview mirror and returned his sight to the vehicle in front of him, saying: "It is said that many people were injured in the explosion. I drove all the way here and saw no less than ten ambulances rushing there..."

"It is said that this is another destruction caused by a super criminal."

Moving his body closer to the door, Colin put his hand on the window and said as if he didn't care.

"Really? I didn't notice this."

Driving the taxi past the vehicle in front, Nick Fury raised his eyebrows and said with a look of surprise.

"Fortunately, the members of the Thunderbolt Team arrived in time and stopped this crime."

"Yes, fortunately, the Thunderbolt Team is here."

Hearing Colin's sigh, Nick Fury in the driver's seat also responded in cooperation.

"..."

As the two finished speaking, the taxi fell into a brief silence.

In this way, it drove in silence for a while.

Colin suddenly spoke, pretending to accidentally glance at the eye patch of Nick Fury's left eye and curiously asked: "Excuse me, your eyes?"

"Ha, I thought you didn't notice it."

Faced with Colin's inquiry, Nick Fury showed a reaction that he had expected.

"In fact, more than 80% of the guests who take my car will show concern about this, and my unified response to this is that I am a medal left behind in an extremely dangerous mission. The grenade exploded at close range and injured my eyes, leaving this horrific wound..."

While speaking, Nick Fury turned his head so that Colin in the back seat could see the injury of his left eye more clearly.

Listening to Nick's description, Colin looked at the scar on his left eye.

He didn't know why the other party told him this. Could it be that his performance just now aroused Nick Fury's vigilance, but why?

"I fooled you, haha."

Seeing this, the expression on Colin's face gradually changed.

Nick Fury suddenly turned his head and laughed while patting the steering wheel.

"This trick is simply tried and tested..."

While laughing, Nick Fury looked at Colin in the rearview mirror and explained: "That was just a joke. In fact, my left eye was just caused by infection and untimely treatment in the later stage. It is far less thrilling than what I just said."

"Okay, I was fooled by you."

In the back seat, listening to Nick Fury's laughter, Colin pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal an ugly smile, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He looked at Nick Fury in the driver's seat and witnessed the other party driving the taxi around the vehicle in front with ease. It seemed that he was no different from other taxi drivers.

Could it be that I was wrong?

In fact, Nick Fury really became an ordinary taxi driver in this world because of the [distorted time node], and he is no longer the director of SHIELD.

Thinking of the Hydra advertisement that he had seen on the big screen in the square, the fact that Nick Fury became a taxi driver seemed less surprising. After all, even Hydra has become a multinational company, so it seems that it is not difficult to accept that SHIELD no longer exists.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly,

Howard Stark, one of the founders of SHIELD, and his family had unfortunately died in the 1990s.

Or, it was precisely because of this reason that SHIELD disappeared.

He shook his head and thought silently in his heart.

For Colin, everything in the anti-world is still in a deep fog, and the figures that occasionally emerge from the fog not only do not help him understand the secrets behind this world more clearly, but push him into a deeper fog, such as Nick Fury in the taxi in front of him.

…

"Here we are, customer."

After parking the car and looking at the numbers displayed on the meter, Nick Fury turned his head and showed a kind look to Colin in the back seat.

"A total of 32 US dollars."

Nick Fury's voice interrupted Colin's thoughts. Hearing the taxi fare, even though he was prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but twitch in his heart.

With a painful look on his face, he took out two twenty-dollar bills and handed them to the other party. After taking the bills, the latter smiled and thanked him but had no intention of asking for change.

The price on the meter only represents the taxi's driving charges. If you add the starting price of $2.5 and the night surcharge of 0.5 cents, as well as the most critical tip of more than 15%, then the fare of $40 given by Colin may be just the right price for Nick Fury.
