Chapter 127
He knew the other party was a mature and steady agent.
Since Coulson felt it was necessary to report in person.
Nick Fury naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Just come directly to my office when you arrive."
"Understood."
After ending the communication, Nick Fury felt some anticipation.
What exactly did Coulson want to say?
Regarding the mission to contact Superman.
Unlike the expectant Nick Fury.
Coulson was worried and frowning.
He had to think carefully about his wording.
Think about how exactly to tell Nick Fury about this matter.
……
After a while, the plane Coulson was on arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
After getting off the plane.
Coulson didn't hesitate and went straight to Nick Fury's office.
Previously, the two had already discussed it.
So Nick Fury was already waiting there.
"Director."
Coulson greeted him.
"Hmm."
Nick Fury nodded, looked at the other party, and asked curiously: "Where is Clint?" After all.
Coulson and Clint had gone out together.
The mission was one he had just issued today.
How was it that only Coulson had returned?
Could it be that Clint was still near Superman, observing him?
"Clint, he..."
Coulson hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Clint is dead." "Dead?"
Nick Fury was stunned, looking at the other party in disbelief.
Just today, he had seen Clint.
And had issued the mission to the two of them.
Not much time had passed, how could he be dead?
Although, as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury also knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. agents would inevitably suffer casualties.
Even high-level agents like Natasha and Clint were not without the possibility of mission failure.
But when this moment arrived, he still found it hard to believe.
Coulson's expression was serious as he looked straight at Nick Fury.
"That's right, Clint is dead."
"Hmm..."
Nick Fury was silent for a moment, adjusting his emotions.
Then he asked: "Was it because of today's mission?"
"That's right."
"Killed by Superman?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Nick Fury frowned.
As expected.
This Superman was a very big hidden danger.
From the moment the other party repelled Natasha and threatened S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury had had such thoughts.
It was just that.
Later, Superman killed the Abomination and did a good deed.
Plus, Obadiah wasn't a good person either.
And the most important point.
Even if this Superman made a move and dealt with enemies.
He had never killed strangers, nor had he dealt with S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel.
He didn't look like an evil villain.
This was also the reason Nick Fury.
Had let Coulson and Hawkeye contact him today.
His purpose was indeed the same as what Coulson had guessed.
He wanted to see what Superman's attitude really was.
If the other party was a righteous person.
Then Nick Fury would find a way.
To request that he join the superhero team.
If his attitude was bad, then there was naturally no need to say more.
Increase precautions, and if that didn't work.
Call Carol back to deal with Superman.
He hadn't told Coulson and the other about these things.
After all, he was the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
There were some things he needed to plan.
But it was precisely because of this that he couldn't tell his subordinates everything.
It could only be said that Coulson, who had been working with Nick Fury since the eighties and nineties, really understood the other party very well.
Now, Karl had killed a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
And a high-level agent at that.
Nick Fury naturally wouldn't just let it go.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Tell me the specific details of what happened."
"Understood."
Coulson nodded, then spoke slowly, "Through the intelligence system, we learned of Mr. Superman's whereabouts." "So we went to the airport."
"Mr. Superman seemed not to want to talk to us, so we left."
"And then..."
Coulson recounted the general situation.
"I think Mr. Superman and Clint might have had some kind of misunderstanding."
"And then Clint attacked Mr. Superman directly."
……
Coulson recounted the general situation.
And stated his own guess.
"Hmm..."
Nick Fury began to ponder.
The current situation was somewhat different from what he had guessed.
Originally, he had thought it was the other party who had made the first move.
After all, this Superman had threatened Natasha before.
Saying that if S.H.I.E.L.D. bothered him again, he wouldn't let it go easily.
He didn't expect the situation not to be like that.
He also didn't know what kind of madness had gotten into Clint.
To actually dare to take the initiative to attack Superman?
Do you have Kryptonite!
No?
Then aren't you just throwing your life away!
This situation put Nick Fury in a very passive position.
After all, regardless of the reason.
This Superman had personally killed a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
And one of the top agents at that.
Even if Clint had made the first move, he couldn't just ignore it.
Now, it was impossible to let Superman join the superhero team.
And he also had to be on guard against Superman.
Nick Fury, although feeling angry and regretful about Clint's death, also held deep resentment toward Clint.
Because of Clint.
Their S.H.I.E.L.D. could only maintain a hostile relationship with Superman.
"Alright..."
Nick Fury pondered for a moment and said: "Be careful when you encounter Superman in the future." "We will temporarily maintain our guard against Superman, but do not take the initiative to attack."
"If the other party attacks, we can fight back."
"Do not go to contact Superman again."
"We will talk about the rest later."
This was also a helpless move on his part.
If S.H.I.E.L.D.'s power was sufficient.
Nick Fury would naturally choose to take action against Superman directly.
To avenge Clint.
But it was a great pity.
Even if Nick Fury didn't want to admit it, he had to say.
With Carol not present, they really had no way to deal with Superman.
If both sides went to war, it would definitely end with S.H.I.E.L.D. being blown to pieces.
Moreover, at the moment, they didn't know much about Superman.
They didn't know to what extent his power had reached.
Was it the same as in the comics, or the same as in the movies?
Or was it far inferior to the Superman in film and television works?
They didn't know any of this.
As for calling Carol, that was a good idea.
But Carol couldn't be contacted casually.
He knew Carol was very busy.
And right now, he didn't know exactly where she was.
Or how long it would take for her to rush back.
If there was any major crisis endangering Earth.
Nick Fury would contact her without hesitation.
But now...
Although this Superman had killed a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
