Marvel’s Speedsters

The long night passed, the morning sun dispelled the darkness, and the golden light spilled onto the earth. At this time, the thick fog that shrouded the island had completely dispersed, leaving only wisps of faint blue smoke still tenaciously rising from the remains of the collapsed Statue of Liberty, and under this light blue smoke formed by the burning, a large number of police and rescue personnel were searching and inspecting in the ruins.

“Tell me, what did our people find?”

Accompanied by several senior police officers, the new police chief George Stacy, dressed in a dark blue uniform and wearing four gold stars on his collar, jumped out of the helicopter with a strong wind and questioned the men in charge of the scene with a serious expression.

Mr. Chief seemed to be serious and responsible, nodding frequently and constantly giving instructions under the introduction of the police officer, but it was only superficially serious, in fact, he did not really need answers from his subordinates—- things were obvious, it was done by mutants, but what was the use of knowing this? Are they wanted? It wasn’t a mafia with a pistol in his pocket, or an illegal drug dealer from South America, and Director George would never send his own people to die in vain unless they were fully supported from above.

Fortunately, as far as he knows, before the police force arrived, the powerful agencies of the federal government had already controlled the island in advance, and they blocked the island all night, and did not leave until dawn, taking away the suspect and some important evidence, so all he had to do now was to supervise his department to complete the routine procedures, deal with the media questioning, and then wait silently, waiting for those usually hated privileged departments to find themselves and take the initiative to take over this case that caused him a great headache.

This was not only the wish of Mr. Director himself, but before arriving on Liberty Island, Shi Elder, who did not want to see the situation spiral out of control, and other powerful local figures also expressed similar opinions to him, asking his department to speak cautiously to avoid further aggravating the conflict.

The chief’s mind may not be guessed by his subordinates, he only knows that the presence of Ding’s head boss must be extremely important, so he redoubled his efforts to report.

“…… As far as we know, there was a massive EMP attack at the time where the electronic pulses made all the electronic devices within a two-mile range. The timber burned down, communications were completely interrupted … In an intense fight at the Dingi end of the Statue of Liberty, our trace experts found clues in the debris, including claw-cut walls, pieces of clothing cloth, some special leather, and steel components that had been melted by high temperatures. ”

“Is there anything else, such as a corpse, a murder weapon, or eyewitness testimony?” The chief asked sullenly as he strolled around, his question making his subordinates a little embarrassed.

“…… Many ruins have been cleaned up, there are no bodies, no murder weapons, and the person closest to the core area of the scene is also two thousand feet away, so… That’s all we know. ”

“What does that say?” George Stacy muttered to himself, and then a person answered his question.

“It means that mutants have been here.” A husky male voice said.

The chief turned around, and a gray-haired, scruffy-looking army colonel approached not far away.

“William Stryker, Army Colonel, focused on mutants for forty years.” The visitor introduced himself like this, he looked at the clues found by the police according to his small round glasses, and casually reported a series of names.

“Magneto’s tricks… Needless to say, the other party is also my old friend, Xavier’s freak students. ”

“Look at this charred print, Scott Summers’ masterpiece, the thick fog from Ororo, the Storm Woman, and these claw marks, it reminds me of a damn beast, and Charles is always happy to take in these scraps.”

After muttering for a few minutes, Colonel Stryker remembered his snubbed police chief, and he pulled out a document issued by the Ministry of Defense demanding full takeover of all the people and evidence involved.

“I’m afraid not, Mr. Colonel.” Before the chief could reply, a gentle male voice interrupted Stryker’s request.

“Coulson?” Stryker apparently knew someone. “Even if the symbol of America falls, S.H.I.E.L.D. will still come to play with the public?”

“Don’t say that, Colonel, now is not the time to provoke a full-scale conflict with mutants, Congress has reached a consensus that an asymmetric war cannot be provoked in the country.” Agent Coulson, who was very affinity-looking, was inversely proportional to Stryker, and he shrugged his shoulders and handed the chief a document. “We’re just protecting people from news they’re not ready to receive, and when we can’t, we’re keeping them safe—- and this time.”

“Agent Coulson has a document signed by the president himself, so I’m sorry, Colonel.” The chief explained to Stryker and then ordered his men to withdraw.

As a police officer left the scene, the island quickly became deserted.

“Eric Lancer in your hands?” Stryker still does not give up his efforts to obtain Magneto from S.H.I.E.L.D.

“No, we’ve handed him over to the Ministry of Justice, and they’ve prepared a prison made entirely of insulators, where he’ll spend the rest of his life, and I think that might make the radical mutants feel safer.” Coulson smiled.

“You’ll regret it.” Stryker pointed hard at the agent’s mouth and turned to leave.

***

When Stryker left Liberty Island, Ross happened to see off a noble and beautiful lady.

“That’s Stark’s secretary Potts?” Dr. Connors, who came to Ross to discuss things, happened to recognize this figure who often appeared on television in place of his employer.

“That’s her.” Ross nodded. “Mr. Stark had no time to focus on the little things in business, so Miss Pepper represented him on a business visit to see if there were any opportunities for cooperation.”

Tony Stark was notorious, and Connors was no surprise that he would have a secretary represent him in business.

“I thought Stark Industries was not interested in areas other than munitions.”

“That was before, now the economy is sluggish, the military budget is compressed, purchase orders are reduced, Stark Industries is also seeking to adjust the industrial structure and find new growth points—- of course, this is only Miss Pepper’s personal opinion, not the opinion of CEO Mr. Obadiah.”

Dr. Connors had little interest in Stark, and the two chatted casually before entering. Getting to the point, he reports on new research progress, and that’s what he’s really focused on.

Ross’s gain on Liberty Island is not only that helmet and a few tubes of blood, on the way to the island, he rescues two seriously injured mutants by the way—- one is the spider’s natural enemy, the toad; The other is a saber-toothed tiger with a unclear mind.

After bringing these two people back to the institute, Dr. Connors immediately burst into great interest in their bodies, he has spent his life studying cross-species genetics, eager to use them to repair his disabled body, so that humans can obtain abilities that do not belong to their own species, but he has never seen real superpowers, these wonderful humans seem to open new doors for him and let him see a whole new world.

“I initially tested it, the gene expression of the toad is very interesting, more stable than the lizard DNA I have been paying attention to, and the other person seems to have undergone a failed body modification, he himself has a strong self-healing ability, but after the transformation, the internal function is completely disordered, brain cell proliferation compresses the cerebral cortex, destroying memory and thinking, so only the most basic response ability remains.”

The Doctor reported with interest, at first he was just interested in Ross’s endless ideas, but soon Ross convinced him, after the rebirth, the intellectual resources of the two worlds converged and merged in Ross, resulting in a wonderful chemical reaction, not only more enlightened, but even more clear and efficient thinking, often Connors could not see the unexpected place, Ross could grasp the key at a glance, the acumen was even surprised by himself, so that over the months, the Doctor became more and more respectful and trusting of him.

“Don’t cause irreversible damage to them, I didn’t bring them back as specimens.” Ross admonished, there was a condescending attitude in his tone, and the Doctor did not realize it, and naturally accepted it.

Now that they’re not in the old institute, the old building is just an unpopular institution of the State University College of Bioscience in Brooklyn, dedicated to hobstering. After the deal with Osborne, the doctor returned to public attention, and the state university took the initiative to draw up an appointment letter for him, with much better terms than before.

However, at this time, Ross and Connors were not short of money, and using the resources in their hands, they quickly formed a new research team to continue to prepare for the next research direction.

Ross knows deep down that this will be the worst of times for ordinary people without power, and enemies hidden outside the earth are quietly approaching the unsuspecting human world, causing great damage to people.

But for the strong, it is the best of times, superheroes have a place to play, unimaginable treasures will also be born one by one, triggering a series of excitement. Fierce scramble.

In these future wars, Ross is convinced that there will be a place for him, and he will definitely go all out to obtain the treasure he wants and win the final victory.

Thinking quietly, Ross did not notice that a strange golden light gradually released from his eyes.
