The Death Knell

Tony ran away angrily, and a somewhat absent-minded Howard released Fury and wanted to help him back to the bed, but Fury gritted his teeth and refused.

"No, I'd better go. If Tony wants to play with the mummy at any time, I'm afraid I will be dissected."

Howard smiled sheepishly. Even though he had been the director for so many years, he was still like that when getting along with his old friends. He was just a scientist who was no longer so innocent.

"Tony has little interest in biology or archaeology, and he has no history of dissecting rabbits or mice."

"Really? If he has never dissected a mouse, how did he make such a lifelike robot mouse?" Fury's dark face was expressionless, and he pointed out the problem to the point: "You usually don't pay enough attention to him, right? ?He may have dissected living people.”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy as this possibility was raised.

"Don't scare me, my son is not a future serial killer." Howard waved his hands quickly. He didn't dare to think about such a thing: "I admit that the bureau is usually busy with affairs, and I still have my own research. He has his own company to take care of, so maybe he lacks some care for him. But believe me, he will never be able to get human test subjects."

Fury reached out his hand noncommittally: "I hope so, give me Deathstroke's business card."

Looking at Hei Lu Dan's serious eyes, Howard still took out his wallet, pulled out the business card from it, and handed it to Fury with two fingers: "Okay, but you must be careful when you come into contact with him. , he might dig a hole for you anytime, anywhere, or even ask you to help fill it with soil."

"I have a plan...so, haven't you thought about letting Tony go to school early?" Fury took the business card and put it away, changing the topic: "I heard that there is a boarding school for aristocrats on Long Island called What's going on..."

"No!" Howard jumped up as if he had been pricked by a needle. He didn't even wait for Fury to remember the name of the school. Seeing Hei Tan's eyes looking a little strange, he squeezed out a smile and said back: "I It means, haha, it’s not very suitable there.”

It's fine if others don't know, but he can't know, that's Deathstroke's school.

If Tony is sent in, he will probably be completely brainwashed when he comes out, and then be arranged to do all kinds of dark things.

He wanted his son to live a normal life, whether as a scientist or a business owner, but he couldn't be an agent or a superhero, let alone a mercenary.

The things that recorders and observers came to him seemed to be still vivid in his mind. The universe was really more dangerous than imagined before. He himself could be involved in these things, but as a father, he did not want his son to go down the same path as himself. road.

It's okay to say he's selfish, but he doesn't want his son to take the same risk...

"You seem very excited?" Fury looked suspicious.

"Haha, what I mean is that I have long thought about letting Tony go to school. I have considered many schools. However, Zhongji Academy is a closed boarding school. I prefer Tony to go to one that is more free and can be with his classmates. We go to the city after class to play, or go to other people's homes to visit the kind of school."

Howard found an excuse.

"But Tony is your son. Hydra and Leviathan may be planning to attack him at any time. I'm afraid the security measures in public schools are not enough." Fury put forward his professional opinion. For him, closed schools are the only option. Good: "How about you consider SHIELD Academy?"

"No, don't bring up topics like S.H.I.E.L.D. or agents in my house from now on. This is a private space. I want Tony to stay away from these things." Howard waved his hands around his head like he was shooing away flies. He felt that Rui, the anesthetic has not worn off, and he is just talking nonsense today: "I still have some connections in Hollywood. In a few days, I will send Tony to Los Angeles and let him go to school there. It will be done very secretly, and no one will I know his relationship with me."

Fury nodded, since Howard has a plan, that's good. He was very nervous just now when he heard that Tony wanted to play with nuclear energy. After all, this is New York.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Hei Lu Dan opened the door, poked his head out to take a look, and then limped about to leave.

"You can't even drive a car like this, how can you go home? Your home is not safe now. Hydra may have ambushed an ambush or planted a bomb." Howard still couldn't bear to drive Fury away, at least not like this. .

Unexpectedly, Fury didn't appreciate it. He pushed Howard's arm away: "Duggan and the Howling Commandos have come to pick me up. I have a way to get to a safe place."

"Wait a minute, the Howling Commandos are the occult team of SHIELD. How can you let them do private things? And when did you contact the Dum Bomb?" Howard raised a finger and shook it in the air at high speed to signal Fury wait a moment.

"The commander of the field office was attacked by Hydra. This is already official business. Also, I installed a monitoring and positioning device on my heart. When my heartbeat falls below a certain frequency, the terminal on Dugan's side You can receive a positioning information to launch rescue and follow-up plans."

Fury tapped his chest with his finger. He was already prepared.

"Pim pretended it for you, right?" Stark said crookedly. Only Pim dared to combine physics and biology: "I thought Natasha sent you here because you trusted her most. As for her, will it still turn out to be Dugan?"

Fury shakily put on his black coat, showed a meaningful smile and turned around to leave: "Agents always have something to offer, but the person I trust the most is you."

Howard nodded complacently, feeling comfortable now. He is so trustworthy!

Watching Fury disappear around the corner of the corridor, Howard walked to his laboratory with satisfaction. He was going to continue developing the shit-scooping robot.

Although Jarvis and the servants and bodyguards have almost cleaned up the dirty things, the robot still needs to be built. What if there is a next time?

.....................

At a pond not far from Howard's house, Fury stumbled and met Dugan and all members of the Howling Commandos, including Captain Werewolf, Zombie, Midnight Vampire, and Amphibian Man.

"Are you okay, old man?" Dugan came forward to hold Fury up. His shoulders were as broad as ever, and his bowler hat and clothes were full of the smell of inferior cigars.

"You can't die." Fury exhaled, "Send me home now, I want to get some things."

As an old subordinate, Dugan had no doubts about Fury's order. He just nodded in agreement: "We operate in the dark. My team members are more effective at night and can be prepared for emergencies. Listen, I am right Unfortunately with Valentina, I got the basic information from Black Widow."

Fury smiled bitterly and rubbed his bald head: "Look at how many shots I got. Now you don't blame me for stealing my love with a knife, right?"

Dugan patted Fury on the lower back: "I have never blamed you, boss. Even at the beginning, it was not a fight for love. She chose to be with you, but I'm afraid from then on, Everything is a trap, Hydra is really vicious.”

"About the habits of Hydra, we have known this for a long time, haven't we? Now find a place to rest and wait for dark."

Fury pointed in the direction of the sea. There seemed to be a houseboat over there.

The werewolf captain holding the other shoulder of the braised egg was named Jack Russell, whose real name was Jacob Russoff. His ancestors obtained a scroll that wandered from the wilderness, and as a result, he was struck by a werewolf. The curse of transformation.

His family was eventually wiped out by the demon hunters. Only he was in better condition and escaped from Europe to the United States to save his life.

He can usually maintain his sanity as a werewolf. Only on full moon nights will he completely lose control. But even then, he must rely on SHIELD's protection to avoid being targeted by the demon hunters.

A werewolf is full of treasures. How much does a complete piece of skin cost, how much does a tooth cost, and how much does a claw cost? They all have specific values.

When a witcher kills a werewolf, he can exchange it for a large amount of money and many magic items without leaving the city. In the eyes of a capable witcher, he is simply a pile of moving banknotes.

His teammates are in a similar situation. Life is too difficult for non-human races. Good guys and bad guys want to kill them. Zombies are probably not worth much.

In his normal state, Jack is even more upright than Steve. He is a standard superhero, but in his mad state, he is a complete beast. He has to lock himself in a special cell every full moon night.

At this time, listening to Fury and Dugan talking about the topic of fighting for love, he very wisely looked at his nose and his nose, and acted as a tool without saying a word.

But he probably understood it. It seemed that Ms. Valentina from the former field team had been proven to be Hydra. It was really God's will and it was sad.

Could it be that the commander asked him and others to come here to hunt down Valentina? His sense of smell is indeed effective for hunting, but today is an exception. Now he has blocked his nose and can't smell anything.

Looking at Fury's face again, should he catch her or not?

Whether the mission is successful or not is one thing, and whether the leader is happy or not is another matter. In an organization like SHIELD, it is not possible to just attack by force. You need to be able to figure out what is going on.

Seeing his girlfriend's curious expression, as if she might ask Fury, who was obviously in a bad mood, a question at any time, he quickly winked at the Midnight Vampire and signaled not to ask anything. If the leader doesn’t tell you, you just pretend you don’t know.

This young couple has an underground love affair, not because of the grudge between werewolves and vampires, but because of SHIELD's rules and regulations, colleagues in the same department cannot develop a super-friendship relationship.

It sounds funny, but when he completely loses his mind and turns into a werewolf, only a vampire can control him.

So everyone in the group was silent. Only Dugan and Fury chatted from time to time. They waited in the dilapidated houseboat until dark. During the process, the zombies bandaged Fury carefully, and then they sent Fury back home. .

It was dark, at least the house that Fury once called home.
