Marvel’s Speedsters

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, strategic command room.

The crowd was crowded, the bells were ringing endlessly, and the information from Pelican Island was summarized by various departments and sent to the discussion table of the high-level of the bureau, so that they could have a clear understanding of the frontline battle.

Although they did not have personal experience, seeing the text and video materials was enough to give senior agents an idea of how serious the situation was on the ground.

In the past ten minutes, the huge bridge | was broken by the mutant leader, and Magneto led thousands of thugs to forcibly rush to the laboratory building of Watsonton Pharmaceutical, exchanging fire with the elite troops stationed by the military, causing a large number of casualties on both sides.

If it weren’t for the politicians in the White House convincing Hank, the only remaining moderate mutant beast, S.H.I.E.L.D. sent Coulson agents in time to lobby several superheroes such as the Fantastic Four who had just emerged, and now the laboratory has been completely overrun by Magneto.

But despite all this, the situation is getting worse.

Field agents with rich combat experience can fully see from the video sent back from the scene that the young Fantastic Four cannot pose a threat to Magneto at all, and once this powerful Magnetic King fully exerts his power, only shameful defeat awaits them.

“Where is Stark, criminals wreak havoc in New York, why hasn’t he shown up?” Agent Garrett asked a little sullenly, in this large-scale superpower conflict, his usual methods were really useless.

“He invited Hollywood stars to a big drag party today in his mansion in Los Angeles, and I guess he didn’t have time to get back.” Ms. Hand replied in place of Coulson, who was not present.

Coulson was Tony’s contact, and apart from him, the playboy didn’t give anyone a chance to get close at all.

But now the situation is bad, and every bit of help counts.

In addition to the direct turmoil brought about by mutants, many affected outsiders are also constantly putting pressure. In the news bombardment of unscrupulous media, the local conflict between the mutants and Watsonton Pharmaceutical was misinterpreted as a full-scale attack by the mutants in New York, which immediately caused a war panic in New York and even on the East Coast. Citizens everywhere imagined the city being attacked by mutants and invaded by superpowers based on hearsay, and the powerful departments of the federal government heard the frenzied call to defend the city.

Now, like a repetition of the Spanish-American War more than a hundred years ago, in addition to the telegrams and letters expressing tough and indignant expressions of strength and indignation in non-belligerent states, politicians representing the interests of threatened regions stood up to jointly issue an armistice call, and all kinds of pressure almost forced the White House dignitaries who were caught off guard.

Many believe that if the federal government continues to do nothing, neurotic Wall Street financiers may even relocate to the mainland because they fear for the safety of their bond investments, and powerful real estate developers will reduce their share of industries on the East Coast, and the impact of these measures on the US economy will be far faster and more violent than the containment of mutants.

Elsewhere outside North America, politicians might have come up with several ways to quell the riots at once, but now the main battleground is the United States, and it’s taking place in New York, the largest city, and in addition to the financial and cultural center, it’s also the hottest real estate market in the world, with a real estate appraisal worth more than a trillion dollars, almost equal to Mexico’s gross domestic product and much higher than the combined economies of G20 members South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.

In such a place, who would dare to bear the consequences of allowing riots to continue to spread?

Therefore, the White House has very limited options, they can no longer let the situation expand, and finding an excuse to step down from the stage without losing face is their most urgent task at present, and then there will be a long-term, silent war that occurs out of the public eye like the Cold War era.

Until one of the parties completely collapses.

The last time against the evil Soviet Union, and this time against mutants, although the overall strength is far from the same, but think carefully, in this new competition model, the side with stronger comprehensive strength does not mean that it will definitely have an absolute advantage.

Unless there is a breakthrough in the ulterior behind-the-scenes research, until then it is better to adopt a more conciliatory approach.

Fury understood this, and he didn’t consider the radical proposals of some of his subordinates in the first place.

Knocking on the table, the chief interrupted the discussion of the senior agents.

“White House policy swings every term, so we need to maintain relative stability, which is more important to those superhumans than any sweet talk.”

“My concern is that we are facilitating the emergence of an unprecedented alliance of mutants. Stryker destroys the Mutant Academy and forces the moderate faction underground, but the mutants are not catastrophic, instead Magneto loses his restraints and rises a new powerful mutant Speed. For the Brotherhood of Mutants, we can infiltrate, but for the latter, we don’t know much more about it so far beyond limited records, and we don’t know if these people will form a new balance or join the side represented by Magneto, so in this riot, we must exercise restraint and avoid provoking more mutants to become enemies of humans. ”

Fury’s will is S.H.I.E.L.D.’s program of action, and even the World Security Council can hardly veto it.

“Sir!”

At this moment, the researcher behind took off his headphones and shouted back.

“There is an abnormal energy reaction on Long Island.”

The researcher said, pointing out the heat surge records fed back from space by spy satellites to Ding’s boss.

A few steps to the satellite display, on the high-resolution screen, Fury saw a thrilling red color in the center of the zoomed-in map of the eastern islands.

“What’s going on there?”

Fury muttered to himself, a one-eyed essence | flickered.

When S.H.I.E.L.D. noticed the hot surge on Long Island, the warring sides on Pelican Island also noticed the rising pillar of fire to the east.

From a long distance, they seemed to hear billowing thunder roaring through the clouds.

Magneto smiled a little, he knew that the outcome of this battle was no longer in doubt.

If it weren’t for the fact that he didn’t want to block the limelight for Ross, the few young people on the opposite side would not be his opponents at all.

What’s more, his subordinates can more or less provide some help, after this battle, the leader of the brotherhood can also see who is more worthy of cultivation and trust, so now his desire to fight |is not very strong, and then just confirm that Jimmy is eliminated, there is no need to continue to entangle |.

“Do you still want to fight again?” Magneto teased, waved his hand and gave instructions, and under the control of his henchmen, the warring parties gradually disengaged.

Fantastic Four and Beast Hank didn’t know what was going on, they looked at each other for a while, a little undecided, but it wasn’t a bad thing to have a chance to |breathe.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, some of the people present suddenly turned their attention to the sea to the east.

In that choppy sea, a thin line of water is expanding at an extremely fast pace, pointing straight to the battlefield of the battle.

Then people heard a strange sound, this sound flickered, seemed to be close to the ears, and seemed to come from the other side of the ocean, the source of the sound was the black shadow that separated the wind and waves, stirred up the monstrous waves, and it was approaching the Pelican Island laboratory at an incredible speed.

“Speed!”

Agent Coulson, who was present, shouted.

With his shout, the black shadow instantly rushed out of the sea and appeared in front of everyone with countless tiny blue lightning.

Ross, who was moving at full speed, was completely different from usual, with countless scales erected all over his body, as if a powerful demon king born from the darkness, and as soon as he appeared, he darkened the brightly lit square in front of the building. To his arrival, people did not have time to react at all, standing stiffly in place, feeling a bone-chilling cold.

In the slow changes in the outside world, Ross instantly arrived between the two warring parties, without any hesitation, reached out and pressed in front of Ben Greim, the largest stone man in the Fantastic Four.

At this moment, time seems to freeze, the air flow is almost static, the sound is also disconnected, the whole world becomes silent, and it seems that all changes are leaving the human senses.

Then Ross’s hand fell on the stone man.

The world is back to normal.

The stone man who was so heavy that he could step on the floor out of small holes was like a bundle of straw and was beaten out by a sudden black shadow.

Under the illumination of the lights, the stone man flew over a distance of tens of feet like an unloaded cannonball, crashed into the laboratory building where the military was under strict security, and rolled to the ground with the soldiers who could not dodge behind.

Suddenly, the building was in a mess, where the human body passed, the door and window glass slammed into countless crystal fragments in the light, the metal door frame was squeezed into distortion and deformation, the concrete wall was also knocked out of a collapse, the masonry cement fell along the cracks, and the dust poured down filled the perimeter of the building.

At this time, the extreme speed of Ross’s avatar had just landed.

The aggressive Thunderbolt Johnny came back to his senses.

“Look at me!”

He shouted, his body full of flames rolling, and the blazing waves of | hot air rushed all the way to Ross’s black mask.

At Johnny’s side, Reid, nicknamed Mr. Fantastic, also hurriedly stretched out his arms |.

“Susan, use that move!”

Reid loudly reminded his ex-girlfriend that after accepting his superpowers, they had discussed how to cooperate and finally found some combinations, and now although the stone man who served as a meat shield was sent away, if it can limit the opponent’s movement, Johnny attacks with high temperatures, and Susan uses a stealth force field to control the fire, then it is not a fantasy to defeat a powerful enemy.

However, at this critical juncture, Susan hesitated for a moment.

In less than a second, the other party reached out and grabbed Reid’s neck, and the two bodies paused slightly in the air, and then Mr. Fantastic was picked up by an unusually powerful hand and pushed in front of Johnny like a flag.

Caught off guard, Johnny didn’t have time to close the flames, and in a blink of an eye, he was hit by Reid, and the two were flown like conjoined babies and fell far away on the fortifications in front of the building.

At this time, Susan reacted, she didn’t mean to make a move at all, hurriedly glanced at the black shadow on the opposite side, turned and ran in the direction of her brother |.

“Fire, kill him!”

The Fantastic Four lost its effect, the military commander desperately issued an order, and suddenly the battlefield that had just calmed down fell into battle again, and countless bullets shot at Ross like lightning.

Lines of fire flickered, but there were no unexpected obstacles.

The sneer on the commander’s face immediately froze, and then he heard a scream from the | of the fierce gunfire like fried beans beside him.

He turned around abruptly and saw one of his subordinates loosen his machine gun and collapsed limply.

Others reacted more slowly than he did, completely unaware of what was happening.

“The target is gone!”

A non-commissioned officer shouted in amazement.

Then someone noticed the black-clad speeder standing among the soldiers.

“He’s there!”

Someone shouted loudly.

Without waiting for the muzzle to turn, Ross had already come to another heavy fire point at some point, and suddenly appeared in front of them in the horrified eyes of the soldiers, and then punched down.

In just a few seconds, the military’s carefully arranged defensive positions were disturbed by him, and there were people screaming everywhere, and the fire and smoke from the martyrdom of ammunition could be seen everywhere.

Halfway through, he made head-on contact with the barrage, and countless bullets swarmed like raindrops, but Ross rushed straight from the rain of bullets as if he didn’t see it at all, and before the warhead could get close to his body, he was pushed away at a high speed that he couldn’t distinguish with a fast score.

After a chaotic sound, the bullets fell empty, and the soldiers who shot were dumbfounded like ghosts.

At this time, Ross no longer paid attention to these guys who did not pose a threat at all, in the high-speed movement, he rushed close to the beast Hank, and slapped him with a backhand, and the moderate mutant flew up violently, crashing through the defensive cover behind him, and fell deep into the | hard wall, the wall creaked, and countless spiderweb-like cracks shot outward with his body as the center of the circle.

Bricks flew and the whole building emitted a buzzing tremor.

Above unnoticed, two female figures flew into the building.

“It’s over.” Magneto saw Jean and Ororo enter from above, he said lightly, and ordered his men to start retreating.

Receiving the leader’s order, the mutants present retreated, and under the organization of the Brotherhood, they had a way to escape the human surveillance.

Ross and Susan looked at each other from a distance, and neither one spoke.

The building was billowing with smoke, and then crackled, and a giant orange hand reached out | and pushed the collapsed doors and windows open.

Then the huge figure of the stone man, which was burned black, came out of the shadows.

Although he received a violent blow, he did not suffer any serious injuries, and now he can resist a little, much better than the two companions.

In addition to him, Susan did not participate in the battle among the four, so only Johnny and Reid were seriously injured, and Reed’s rubber man body was basically immune to physical blows, but unfortunately bumped into Johnny, and the high temperature caused some damage to his back, and he had to go back to lie down for a few days.

Johnny suffered a violent collision, so he also had to lie down and rest for a while.

Not to mention the Beast Hank and the military, Ross had no reservations about them.

For the sake of old friendship, the witch took Hank, and now the morale of the other party is even lowered.

Multiple gunships hovered far outside the island, afraid of being controlled by Magneto, and no one dared to get too close to the island.

Ross also paid no attention to others.

Not long after Jean and Ororo entered, a corner of the laboratory building suddenly collapsed, just like Jean had done in the Long Island laboratory, and streams of flying ash gushed out along the cracks in the building, dissipating in the vast night.

Following his line of sight, the humans present looked up, not knowing what was happening.

When they came back to their senses, the square in front of them was empty, and all the attackers had left.
