American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression
Chapter 19 Taxi
“taxi!”
Wave down an oncoming yellow taxi.
Colin opened the door to get into the back seat, and at the same time told the driver in the driver's seat: "Go to Second Avenue..."
The neighborhood where the accident occurred was quite a distance from the apartment where Colin lived. Considering the poor subway environment in New York, Colin finally decided to take a taxi home.
It's a bit expensive, but at least you don't have to go to the subway station to smell those weird smells full of 'long history'.
Sitting in the taxi, watching the neighborhood behind him gradually getting further away, Colin retracted his gaze and returned his attention to the taxi.
Nick Fury?!
However, when Colin's eyes touched the taxi driver, the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank.
Looking at the man driving the taxi silently in the driver's seat and the black eyepatch on his left eye, Colin's heart suddenly felt huge.
"Why is the director of SHIELD here?"
"Is this also a [distorted time node]? If so, it would be too exaggerated!"
"The dignified director of S.H.I.E.L.D. has actually been reduced to driving a taxi... But, having said that, from aircraft carriers to taxis, Nick Fury drives a wide range of vehicles..."
All kinds of things were intertwined in his mind, which made Colin a little confused. At the same time, Nick Fury in the driver's seat noticed a clue.
"guest……"
After looking at Colin through the rearview mirror of the car, Nick Fury spoke with concern in a deep voice.
"... Your face looks a little bad. Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to take you to the nearest hospital?"
"No, no need."
In the back seat, Colin shook his head and rejected Nick Fury's kindness. He calmed down the chaotic thoughts in his mind and said in a frightened tone: "I was just a little scared thinking about the explosion in the neighborhood.
"
"indeed."
After hearing Colin's explanation, Nick Fury nodded empathetically. He retracted his gaze from the rearview mirror and returned his gaze to the car in front of him. He said: "It is said that many people were killed in the explosion."
Injured, I drove all the way and saw no less than ten ambulances rushing there..."
"It is said that this is another case of destruction caused by super criminals."
Moving his body a little closer to the car door, Colin put his hand on the window as if unintentionally and said.
"Really? I didn't notice that."
Driving the taxi over the vehicle in front, Nick Fury raised his eyebrows and said with a surprised look.
"Thankfully, members of the Thunder Task Force arrived in time and prevented this crime."
"Yeah, luckily the Thunder Agents are here."
Hearing Colin's sigh, Nick Fury in the driver's seat also responded accordingly.
"..."
As the two people finished speaking, the taxi fell into a brief silence.
In this way, we drove in silence for a while.
Colin suddenly spoke, pretending to glance at the eyepatch of Nick Fury's left eye curiously: "May I ask, your eyes?"
"Ha, I thought you didn't notice."
Facing Colin's inquiry, Nick Fury showed an expected reaction.
"In fact, more than 80% of the guests in my car will express concern about this, and my unified reply to this is that I am a medal left behind by me in an extremely dangerous mission. The grenade was at close range.
The explosion hurt my eye, leaving this horrific wound..."
As he spoke, Nick Fury turned his head so that Colin, who was in the back seat, could see the injury to 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."
As he watched, the expression on Colin's face gradually changed.
Nick Fury suddenly turned his head, patted the steering wheel and laughed.
"This trick has been tried many times..."
While smiling, Nick Fury looked at Colin in the rearview mirror and explained: "That was just a joke. In fact, my left eye was only caused by infection and lack of timely treatment.
The result 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 twitched the corners of his mouth to reveal an ugly smile, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He looked at Nick Fury in the driver's seat and witnessed him driving the taxi around the vehicle in front of him with ease and familiarity. He seemed to be no different from other taxi drivers.
Could it be that I thought wrong?
In fact, Nick Fury has really become an ordinary taxi driver in this world due to the [distorted time point], and is no longer the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Reminiscent of the Hydra advertisement that I had seen on the big screen in the square, the fact that Nick Fury became a taxi driver seemed a little less surprising. After all, even Hydra
They have become multinational corporations, so it does not seem to be an unacceptable thing that SHIELD ceases to exist.
What's more, if he remembers correctly.
As one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., the family of Howard Stark had unfortunately died as early as the 1990s.
Or, it was precisely for this reason that led to the disappearance of S.H.I.E.L.D.
He shook his head and thought silently in his heart.
For Colin, everything in the counter-world is still shrouded in 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 instead push him deeper into the world.
Pushed away in the fog, such as Nick Fury in the taxi in front of me.
…
"Here we come, guest."
After parking the car and glancing at the number displayed on the meter, Nick Fury turned to Colin in the back seat and gave a kind look.
"Total $32."
Nick Fury's voice interrupted Colin's thoughts. When he heard the taxi fare, even though he was prepared, he couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart.
With a look of pain on his face, he took out two twenty-dollar bills and handed them to the other party. After the latter took the bills, he thanked him with a smile but had no intention of asking for change.
The price on the meter only represents the taxi's driving charges. If you include the starting price of 2.5 US dollars, the 0.5 cent night travel surcharge, and the most critical tip of more than 15%, then the four prices given by Colin are
The fare is ten dollars, or for Nick Fury, it's just the right price.
