Chapter 46: Words Are More Powerful Than Fists
On the first day Shiler returned to Marvel's New York, Peter came to the clinic dejectedly, his arm still in a sling. Shiler looked Peter up and down and said, "Your trip to the West doesn't seem to have gone very smoothly."
Peter sighed, sat down opposite Shiler, and put his schoolbag on his lap, but accidentally touched his injured arm. He let out a loud "Ah", then sighed again and said, "Putting aside everything else, I might really not be suitable to be a superhero."
"What's wrong? Did you run into a tough opponent?"
"The opponent actually wasn't tough at all, but..."
Next, in Peter's description, Shiler heard about his and Captain America's ridiculous trip to the West.
Steve was a veteran with rich experience, but at the same time, as Captain America, the teammates he was assigned to in the past were all elite soldiers who had been tempered, even if they were recruits, they weren't lacking in various combat skills, just lacking a bit of practical experience.
But little Spider Peter was now completely a blank slate. His fighting was basically based on hooligan boxing, and his defense was basically based on his physical fitness to take hits, not to mention any tactical literacy.
In order to train little Spider, Steve deliberately didn't let the Anquan Bureau arrange the itinerary and set off with Peter himself.
The first trouble they encountered on this road trip was Peter's insatiable appetite.
Peter's spider mutation growth period hadn't passed yet, and he needed a large amount of food every day. Even if Steve had money, anyone who had watched some road movies knew that it was hard to ensure that every meal had a suitable place to eat, and most of them just bought some fast food to carry in their backpacks and took a bite when they were hungry.
But Peter ate too much. The things they carried in their backpacks were all eaten by him before two meals. So the two had to change their itinerary, and after taking the first bus, they transferred to the nearest small town.
The prices in this town weren't high, but Peter still ate more than a thousand dollars worth of things. This place didn't support credit cards, and the cash Steve brought was soon spent, so the road wandering trip that the two hadn't started yet ended like this.
Steve had to call Coulson to send him money, and finally, the Anquan Bureau drove a car to send them to their destination, and solved Peter's meal problem by the way.
Since Shiler took Spider-Man and Pikachu to loot the Anquan Bureau's food last time, they urgently developed a new type of compressed dry food with nutritional solution, which could provide a large amount of energy needed by ordinary people, which avoided the embarrassment of all restaurants along the way being eaten empty by Peter.
After arriving at the place, Steve began to take little Spider to investigate the traces of those ninjas. Although Peter learned a lot in this process, most of the things were still messed up by him.
He possessed superhuman strength and recovery, but there was only one point, that was, he was talkative and hyperactive.
At the very beginning, when Peter didn't understand anything yet, it was fine; he just obediently followed behind Shi Difen, watching how he investigated information. But later, once Peter learned a little, the chatterbox and hyperactive genes deep in his bones began to act up again.
Peter learned a little technique, so he felt he could do better. Steve wanted to climb over the wall, he jumped onto the wall, Steve wanted to approach a security guard and knock him out, he climbed over from the roof, and then jumped in front of that security guard, greeted him, and then punched him in the face.
In short, two guys with completely different combat styles messed up all reconnaissance operations without any tacit understanding.
Fortunately, those ninjas seemed to be sure that the desolate West wouldn't have anyone coming, and their traces were still easy to check. Not long after, Steve and Peter touched a small stronghold of theirs.
The next thing was even more speechless.
Originally, the people they were going to deal with were just a few low-level ninjas. Steve's estimation was correct. Their trip this time was just a warm-up. Those ninjas, although jumping around, would suddenly disappear, but actually couldn't fight.
But the problem appeared in this disappearance. Steve swung his shield over, the ninja disappeared, and behind him was Peter who was trying to scare the ninja and make a face at him.
The hard shield "Bang!" hit Peter's arm, and he broke his bone on the spot.
This was the first time in Captain America's life that he fired at friendly forces, and the effect was quite outstanding.
"Steve told me that dealing with these enemies from behind would be better, so I swung over from the beam, wanting to sneak attack them from behind, but who knew he changed to a frontal attack. I never knew his strength was so great, I flew out directly and was slapped on the wall..."
"Those ninjas were knocked down by him in three or five hits, but I was also knocked down by him." Peter said somewhat pitifully.
Shiler really couldn't help laughing. Peter said with resentment: "Laugh, laugh, I was already laughed at by Coulson, Seeing Natasha, and Luo De for several days when I came back."
Shiler tried his best to hold back his laughter. He comforted Peter: "Don't be sad, you should feel honored. The last person who was swung away by the captain's shield like this was the head of Hydra."
"I know I talk a lot, but I can't control myself. I get like this when I get excited..."
"Perhaps you have heard a sentence, that is 'Sometimes, words are more powerful than fists'," Shiler said.
After a while, Steve didn't come, but Seeing Natasha came. The female agent said with a headache: "Stark went to talk to Director Nick, and just ran into the returning Steve, and the two turned the world upside down."
"Then what are you looking for me for? I can't pull them apart."
"The director has already found someone to pull them apart, but the problem now is that Steve always mentions Stark's father, and Stark refuses to believe that Steve is his father's old comrade-in-arms, Captain America."
"Or he believed it, just didn't want to admit it," Shiler said.
Seeing Natasha covered her forehead and said: "In short, as a senior psychological consultant of the Anquan Bureau, you must come forward to mediate now..."
Seeing Natasha saw that Shiler wanted to refuse, but she still said: "Listen, the situation now is this, Iron Man and Captain America are arguing endlessly, Director Nick wants to participate in mediation, but the two of them joined forces to scold him alone."
"Coulson also wanted to go up to persuade the fight, but all three parties felt that Coulson was biased towards the other party. Nick felt that Coulson should help him persuade the contradiction between the two, Stark had long known that Coulson was a loyal fan of Captain America and felt that he would definitely pull partial frames, Captain America felt that Coulson was a good person and shouldn't be misunderstood by other parties..."
"Simply put, the three parties have their own words and don't trust each other, but there is really no more credible fourth party on the scene."
"Clearly, Nick wants them both to join the team organized by the Anquan Bureau, so this situation appeared, right?"
Seeing Natasha was a little surprised by Shiler's sharpness, but she still said: "I think this is a plan that is good for everyone. After all, if the two act independently, many problems will arise, such as the unsmooth action of Steve and Peter this time..."
"But clearly, the unsmooth action of Steve and Peter is Peter's problem, not Captain America's," Shiler said.
Peter's resentment was deeper, and he said: "Hey, doctor, you just comforted me!"
Shiler said: "Speaking of persuading the fight, I have a better candidate."
Saying that, he grabbed Pikachu sitting next to him by the neck, lifted it up, and threw it into Seeing Natasha's arms.
Seeing Natasha grabbed Pikachu's two short hands and lifted it in front of her face and said: "I know you have a yellow-haired mouse that can talk, but what is the use of this? It can't even beat Nick, the weakest of the three parties."
Shiler said: "Believe me, sometimes, words are more powerful than fists."
Several hours later, it was dark, and there was a huge knocking sound on the door of Shiler's clinic.
He opened the door, and all four of Steve, Stark, Coulson, and Seeing Natasha arrived. Pikachu was held in the arms of Iron Man wearing armor, and Stark tightly covered the mouth of this yellow-haired mouse with his hand.
Shiler opened the door, let several people in, and then said: "You'd better not be photographed by reporters doing what you are doing now, Stark, otherwise the animal protection organization will go crazy."
"No animal protection organization will protect such a mouse!" Stark said, saying, he roughly picked up Pikachu's tail and threw it to Shiler.
Coulson looked like he was ten years older, and Seeing Natasha leaned on the door frame again and said: "Doctor, you really provided us with a very effective solution!"
She said the words "very effective" through gritted teeth.
Shiler handed the phone to Pikachu to let it charge. Steve sat down covering his forehead and said: "God, I don't know what happened just now..."
"I originally thought Peter was the most noisy person in the world, but I didn't expect..." Saying that, he showed a painful expression. Clearly, the recent round of poisoning made the good-tempered Steve almost collapse.
"He is indeed the most noisy person in the world, because Pikachu is a mouse," Shiler said.
"It used the dirtiest words I have ever heard in my life to scold everyone present. Nick couldn't even find a chance to interrupt, holding a Canadian accent, scolding the Anquan Bureau from top to bottom, from Nick Fury's eye patch to the glass water cup on the desk, all scolded."
"It chattered for at least six hours, and not a single sentence was repeated. The walls of the Anquan Bureau were almost carved with its voice..."
"I don't know how such a small body can hold so many words!!" Coulson's tone was a little trembling.
"In order to block its mouth, we had to give it food, but it ate the whole month's donut share of the office and drank all the drinks in the juicer. In order to stop it, all of us had to go into battle personally!"
"It also electrocuted four mobile phones and an Iron Man mech," Seeing Natasha said: "This also includes one of Nick's high-level security phones, which made him have to go to the maintenance department personally to restore the data inside."
"But at least the effect of persuading the fight is very good, isn't it? When you joined forces to catch it, did you feel the joy of unity?" Shiler said gloatingly.
Stark, who suffered the most losses, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, I can't imagine that I could chat with this old antique for half an hour about how to cook a mouse!"
"I think you know the sentence I often say now..."
"Yes..." Steve spoke first, then Stark looked at him, sparks splashing in their eyes, but they still said in unison: "Words are more powerful than fists!" ===== CHAPTER 47 =====
