“That friend of yours must have been taken by Hydra, and since they know who you are and your relationship with Tom Smith, they will not let him die.” Seeing Lin Rui’s sullen silence, Tony still speaks first.
Huh ~
Unexpectedly, Lin Rui looks up and gives Tony a big smile. “Mr. Stark, I’m fine. I also believe that Tom is not dead and that as long as Hydra wants some value from him, we have a better chance of getting him back.”
“Uh …” Tony had expected Lin Rui to get very angry, and then a tirade of insults towards Hydra. He did not expect Lin Rui to respond in this way, so he was a little stunned for a moment.
“Well, Mr. stark, thank you for saving me back there. I have also given you the design and manufacturing blueprints of the E-Grade Aerospace Warship. Now I should go home. Although you informed my parents, it’s not good for me not to go home all day.” Before Tony could say anything more, Lin Rui got up from the sofa and said with a smile.
“Oh, well, it’s time for you to go home.” Somewhat unclear about Lin Rui’s current reaction, Tony answered.
Hula
Instead of getting up and walking away, Lin Rui raises his hands and shakes them in front of Tony’s eyes. On Lin Rui’s hand, Hydra’s special alloy handcuffs laced with Adamantium metal have yet to be released.
“Oh! This, I will open it for you now. Come with me. Fortunately, I already have some Adamantium metal here and there is also a lot of information about the use of this metal in the data left by my father. If it wasn’t for these, we would be in trouble … “Seeing Lin Rui’s raised hands, Tony reacted a bit awkwardly. Then he got up from his chair and said as he walked towards the laboratory behind.
…
Call!
Half an hour later, an Iron Man rushed out of Tony’s villa and sped toward downtown New York. Lin Rui is inside this Iron Man Armor, who has been brought back by Tony. If he walks out like this, the SHIELD agents outside the villa will be able to see him if they are not blind. So Lin Rui flies away in a suit of steel.
Five minutes later, Lin Rui, in the Iron Man Armor has slipped into the base of the League of Defender. At this point, Spiderman and others are already waiting here.
Card ~
“Jac! … Mirage Knight!” When Lin Rui came out of the steel suit, Peter, who had been worried about him, had already rushed over.
Call!
Hugging Lin Rui, Peter finally felt relieved. Jackson is okay, this is great. Spiderman also participated in this battle against Hydra, but he didn’t played a major role in it.
“I’m okay!” Lin Rui said softly, patting Peter’s back.
“Well! Good!” Peter said happily after seeing Lin Rui speak.
At this point, Harry came over from behind them. He was planning to come and hug Lin Rui but Peter beat him to it but it’s not too late now. So after Peter released Lin Rui, Harry gave Lin Rui a big hug.
“Welcome back!”
“Thank you!”
Then Lin Rui and all the members of the League of Defender greeted each other and Lin Rui thanked them. While Tony and SHIELD have largely contributed to the Lin Rui rescue, Spiderman and others have also done a little to help.
Of course, in addition to these people, Lin Rui also has a force to thank in particular, and that is X-Men. Had it not been for Professor Charles getting information about Hydra from Francis, then SHIELD and Tony would have been unable to find Lin Rui in time.
As for the sorcerers, who have been helping him from the dark until now, Lin Rui does not know how to contact them. Although their last meeting was harmonious, it was not to the point where they would leave each other’s contact information. Furthermore, although Lin Rui knows that there is a Sanctum here in New York but New York is so big that he really does not know where their Sanctum is.
“Should I go to Kamar-Taj to thank the Ancient Sorcerer in person afterward?” Lin Rui frowned slightly at the thought of Sorcerers who had helped him in the dark.
“Mirage Knight, why did Hydra attack you suddenly and take you away? Was it planned?” Just as Lin Rui thought about the matter, Spiderman had already asked about his doubt.
This time Hydra’s move was obviously premeditated and Francis was just a stand-in who was pushed to the front of the line, as he didn’t even know about Hydra. But why did Hydra go after Mirage Knight this time?
“This … I think they were just trying to target us or the X-Men, but I just ran into their trap.” Hearing Peter’s question, Lin Rui thought back and answered.
“For us? Would they really do that?! The whole world knows about their organization and what it stands for, what did they plan to gain from this?!” Hearing Lin Rui’s answer, Jack asked.
“Haven’t they already done it? Furthermore, Hydra is extremely powerful even if it is wanted all over the world.” Lin Rui sighed at Jack’s words.
“Although the attack this time was beyond my expectations but I had it under control in the beginning. I just didn’t think that the technology on their base would be that good, so I couldn’t get out on my own.”
Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Daredevil raised an eyebrow. “It seems my original judgment was correct. You did had a plan of your own. So, do you know who were those two who attacked you?”
“Well, yes, I know who they are. And not only do I know who they are, but I know where they came from and many things that they probably don’t even know about themselves.” Lin Rui answers with a nod at Daredevil’s words.
“Who are they?! I asked the X-Men about them but they haven’t heard of these two powerful Mutants.” Peter asked quickly after hearing that Lin Rui know who the two guys who attacked him were.
“The really fast guy is nicknamed Quicksilver, and the girl who can control other people’s minds and throw objects at you with her mind is called Scarlet Witch. These two are brothers and sisters, both of them are very powerful Mutants.” Lin Rui did not say Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch’s original name and he just introduced them with their nickname and ability. Anyway, at this stage, Spiderman and the rest of the League of Defenders just need to know their nickname and ability.
“Controlling people’s minds?! Is it the same ability as the Magician Mutants we met last time?” Deadpool asked when Lin Rui spoke of Scarlet Witch’s ability. Spiderman’s fight with Scarlet Witch didn’t allow her to use the ability to control the mind, so they don’t know yet that Scarlet Witch has this power.
“Magician? No, in front of Scarlet Witch, that Magician would probably look like a kid playing with cards.” Hearing Deadpool comparing Scarlet Witch with the psychic power Magician that they encountered last time, Lin Rui grinned and shook his head and explained.
“Hiss ~~ That’s so powerful!” Hearing Lin Rui’s explanation, Deadpool couldn’t believe it.
When they faced the Magician last time, Deadpool was already puzzled by his mental attacks. If it had not been for Lin Rui, he didn’t know how long it would have taken him to recover by himself. Now listening to Lin Rui saying that Scarlet Witch is so much more powerful than the Magician, Deadpool also feels that he would not be her opponent at all.
“Well, if you meet her in the future, try to run away. Or, pay more attention to exercise your willpower, if it is strong, it should be helpful.” Scarlet Witch’s ability to control the mind would have little effect on him now so he also reminded everyone.
“So, Mirage Knight, do you have any plans next?”
Lin Rui was attacked and taken by Hydra. Something must be done in retaliation for the chaos that Hydra caused this time. Harry asked knowing that The League of Defenders would not let this pass. Hydra was originally a responsibility of SHIELD, but now the League of Defender may have to step in.
“What’s next? Of course, it’s to eliminate Hydra!” Lin Rui answered coldly, hearing Harry’s question.
Hearing Lin Rui’s answer, Harry and the others in the League of Defender did not show any unexpected expressions as this is something that they had expected. And fighting against evil forces like Hydra is something that as the Guardians should do. The League of Defenders is no longer confined to protecting New York.
“Of course, this is my personal matter and I won’t ask you guys to help me.” Lin Rui added after looking at their expressions.
After all, Hydra is not a cat or a dog. From the time Lin Rui was taken, he had already seen how strong Hydra is today. The current strength of the League of Defenders can’t compete with Hydra. Therefore, if he is the only one, it is relatively easy to move forward or backward. And Hydra already knew his identity, and they would also find Peter and Harry according to his identity if they help him. This is a risk Lin Rui doesn’t want to take.
“Mirage Knight, your business is our business! And, Hydra is something that needs to be eradicated. They are not just your enemy.” Just after Lin Rui finished, Spiderman was the first Jump out and say that he would help him. Even if Peter didn’t know that Mirage Knight was Jackson, he would have helped him without hesitation, let alone now.
“Me too. It’s not just your responsibility to deal with Hydra.” After Peter’s statement, Harry also spoke of his decision. Although Harry can now only be counted as half of the members of the League of Defender, he will not back out in such matters.
“When have we ever let a single person fight their battle? We have always faced bigger threats together and we would continue to do so.” Daredevil also spoke his piece. As a member of SHIELD, he has already been fighting Hydra.
“Although my own strength may be weaker than you all but there is a huge family behind me that would be able to help us a lot.” Jack followed suit and spoke and with the Frankenstein Family behind him, his forces could not be underestimated.
“Haha ~ Although Francis is dead, I think it is better to kill the Hydra behind him, otherwise there will always be trouble.” Seeing everyone supporting Mirage Knight, Deadpool also agreed after a laugh.
“You guys … okay, then …” Lin Rui was moved to see that everyone would be supporting him. He knew that whatever he said, these people, his partners and friends, would not back out, so he was ready to thank them but was interrupted.
“That … I will also try my best to help you! Mirage Knight!” It was Jerry who was standing behind that interrupted Lin Rui. He saw that the League of Defender’s members were going to help Mirage Knight, and he couldn’t help but talk too.
“Okay, thank you, Sky’s Eye! And Everyone, Thank you!” Lin Rui said gratefully as he looked at the supporters in front of him.
Call!
“Haha! You are the one who brought us all here, we would not let you have all the fun.” Peter put his hand on Lin Rui’s shoulder next to him and said with a smile.
“That’s right! We’ll always support you!” Harry also put his hand over his other shoulder and spoke with a smile.
“The League of Defender means more than just protecting New York. We have to protect the entire world and we also have to protect each other!” Daredevil also came over and put his hand on Lin Rui’s shoulder.
“And me! I plan to take the Frankenstein Family all the way to the top for it to support us. After all, I can’t lose to all of you!” Jack put his hand on Daredevil’s shoulder and spoke jokingly.
“I don’t need to say anything! I hope we get Hydra off the ground soon!” Deadpool was infected by Peter and others’ mood and he also came over and put his hands on Jack’s shoulders.
“Uh … that, I’ll do my best too!” Jerry came over excitedly, one hand resting on Deadpool’s shoulder, and the other just resting on Harry’s shoulder.
At this moment, the Seven Members of the League of Defender just formed a circle and faced each other. Although everyone was wearing a mask except for Jack and Jerry, at this time they felt unprecedented trust in their partners around them.
…
Half an hour later, after simply chatting with his teammates and planning how to deal with Hydra in the future, Lin Rui left with Peter and Harry. As for the Iron Man Armor, it drove over, it flew back after sending Lin Rui back.
After getting out from the base of the League of Defender, Lin Rui and the other two took off their respective hero suits. Lin Rui’s Phantom Suit and Peter’s Spiderman suit are easier to take off, but Harry’s armor is a lot more troublesome.
Lin Rui took off the Phantom Suit into the wristband of his left hand with just one thought, and the Spiderman suit on Peter’s body was also very convenient to pull off and store. He took off the hood directly and then Peter clicked something and the tight-fitting Spiderman suit instantly became Loose casual clothes. Peter took a piece of clothing out of his backpack and put it on the outside, and then the Spiderman suit color of his pants became inconspicuous.
However, compared to the one-click makeover of Mirage Knight and Spiderman, the semi-covered armor of Dark Knight Harry, who had also become a Vigilante is a bit difficult to get rid of. However, Harry had already modified it. After several joints were quickly opened, the entire armor was taken down by him. Although it was a lot more trouble than Lin Rui and Peter but his armor is very different from theirs.
Call!
Putting the unloaded armor on the Hoverboard and bringing it back to the secret room of his house. Harry looks just like Lin Rui and Peter beside him. They are all high school teenagers.
“Jackson, are you telling the truth? Tom has really become like that?!” Peter asked incredulously as he walked home.
Lin Rui has just told Peter and Harry about Tom’s capture by Hydra and Tom becoming a Winter Soldier. Although all the members of the League of Defender are very trustworthy, this kind of thing is not easy to say.
“Well, while I was pretending to be controlled, there was a Hydra executive there who was trying to recruit me and he revealed a little bit information about Tom’s situation. They’re working on Tom with the newly launched Winter Soldier project, a Hydra project to build the perfect Super Soldier. Now, Tom has become a controlled super soldier.” Hearing Peter’s disbelief, Lin Rui could only explain it again.
“Damn It! Is there still a chance for Tom to be rescued?” Harry also gritted his teeth. Although he was not very close to Tom, he also hated Hydra.
“It may be difficult, but he is not without a chance. First of all, we have to rescue Tom before we can see if there is a way to remove Hydra’s brainwashing or other control methods from his mind.” Although Lin Rui knows that brainwashing is not a means to fully control a Winter Soldier but it is a newly started process and he does not know whether he can wake up Tom’s real consciousness.
“No matter how difficult it is, we will save Tom!” Peter is more familiar with Tom then Harry, so his emotions are deeper.
“Well, that’s what I swore in front of Tom. I’ll get him back, one way or another.” Lin Rui also said seriously.
“Oh! By the way, Jackson, who was the guy you went with to Margaret’s bar that day? Seeing you go to that bar with him, he must be a really good friend of yours, why is it that we have never heard of him?” Just when the three were walking on the road, the atmosphere was dull, and Peter suddenly remembered what he had wanted to ask Lin Rui.
“Hmm?! Thor! …”
After Peter’s reminder, Lin Rui remembered the prince of Asgard who he had left in Margaret’s Bar. However, because Lin Rui had given Thor the keys to his jeep, he didn’t worry about him much.
“That’s Thor. He became my friend during my vacation in New Mexico. His identity is a little special, but I don’t think it’s a big deal to introduce him to you. Why? Have you met him?” Thinking of Thor who might still be here, busy looking for work, Lin Rui smiled at Peter and Harry.
“Well, after we found out that you were attacked near Margaret’s Bar, we went over there looking for clues. We found out that you went there for a drink with a friend last night. But your Jeep is still there and you’ve probably got a few tickets on it.” Hearing Lin Rui’s answer, Peter says with a strange look in his eyes.
“Uh? … Didn’t I give Thor the key? He didn’t take my jeep?” Lin Rui asked with some surprise. Until now, Lin Rui hadn’t realized that Thor had only been here for two months. How could he learn to drive?
“Well, you do know that your friend can’t drive, don’t you? But it’s a little strange, I mean who doesn’t know how to drive nowadays?” Seeing Lin Rui’s response, Peter reminded kindly.
Lin Rui: “…”
“I really forgot, he really can’t drive.” Lin Rui whispered and shook his head.
“Your friend is really weird. When are you going to introduce us to him?” Harry didn’t go with Peter to Margaret’s bar, so he didn’t know Thor and he had only heard about him.
“Well, I will. However, he has only recently moved to New York and is still looking for a job. I don’t know if he had found one yet.” Lin Rui nodded and answered.
In fact, Lin Rui was going to ask Harry to do him a favor and let Thor work in Oscorp. Anyway, Harry was now firmly established in Oscorp Industries and there was no problem with arranging a simple job for Thor. However, he did not propose it in the end. On one hand, Thor may be able to find a job by himself. On the other hand, Thor is the prince of Asgard. He must be monitored by SHIELD. It is not convenient to put him in Oscorp Industries.
“Oh, we’ll wait.”
“Don’t worry, I will introduce him to you soon. But don’t be surprised when I introduce him to you!”
“Haha! Who are we? Even the President of the United States wouldn’t surprise us much, much less a man”
“Let’s wait and see then!”
“Let’s.”
…
New York, Thor’s new apartment, because there has been no news of Lin Rui, Thor is walking back and forth in the room worried.
Shout!
“Has no one found him yet? Should I be worried?!” Thor murmured as he sat on the sofa after walking a few rounds in the small living room without knowing.
It’s not that Peter didn’t tell Thor about Lin Rui on purpose, it’s just that they were busy saving lives, fighting and so on, and of course, they ignored Thor, an irrelevant person.
As for the SHIELD agents who had been monitoring Thor, they were aware of Thor’s abnormal mood that day, but they attributed it to a normal reaction to his recent breakup.
It must be said that this is a very unexpected coincidence, SHIELD knew that Mirage Knight was caught by the Hydra and Jackson also disappeared from Thor’s side at the same time, they only need to think in this way to find the relationship between the two people. However, the SHIELD agents who were monitoring Thor didn’t care about Jackson’s whereabouts, and they weren’t responsible for him anyway, so they missed a chance to discover the identity of Mirage Knight.
As for the team of SHIELD agents who had been secretly monitoring Lin Rui’s life, they did not know that Lin Rui had been missing for nearly a day because they had lowered their surveillance on Lin Rui after Tony joined SHIELD. And with Tony covering for Lin Rui all the time, they didn’t know any better.
Buzz ~
Just as Thor was sitting on the couch worrying about it, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Call!
Picking up the phone and looking at the screen, Thor’s face finally showed some surprise and relaxation. The caller was Jackson, and it appeared that he had been found.
“Hello, Jackson?!” Thor quickly answered the call.
“Yeah, it’s me, Thor. Sorry to worry you, I’m fine.” Lin Rui’s slightly apologetic voice came over the phone. He had really forgotten about Thor.
“That’s fine, you’re okay, that’s all that matters. You’re my first friend on earth, and I don’t want anything to happen to you.” Upon hearing Lin Rui’s voice, Thor let go of his last worry and spoke seriously.
“Haha! Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me that easily. By the way, did you go out to look for a job today?” Lin Rui didn’t want to talk too much about himself on the phone as he was worried about SHIELD’s monitoring and he quickly shifted the subject.
Thor was stunned by Lin Rui’s sudden change of subject, but he hadn’t even reflected on why Lin Rui had to change the subject and he was already embarrassed by Lin Rui’s next question.
Despite worrying about Lin Rui’s safety all the time today, Thor has not failed to consider what he should be able to do. However, after thinking about it, Thor suddenly found that he could not find any job on the earth with his own ability. In addition to some physical work that doesn’t require brains, Thor is like a novice in a game starting village, he really doesn’t know what he can do.
“Er … Well, I’m still looking. Well, Jackson, do you have anything to recommend?” There was no shame in hiding anything from Lin Rui and Thor only hesitated a little and then told the truth.
“Well, that’s what job hunting is all about. Especially in a big city like New York, but I think there are a lot of jobs for you if you don’t hate them too much.” Upon hearing Thor’s words, Lin Rui says without surprise.
In fact, according to Lin Rui, it should not be difficult for someone like Thor to find a job and so on, except that he is not well adapted to life on earth.
First of all, Thor is more than one and nine meters tall, and he is also very handsome. His blond hair makes him look more like a noble. Besides, he is the Prince of Asgard, so he has no problem in temperament, although he is a warrior.
Therefore, in Lin Rui’s view, Thor can become a model without any problem with a little training. He just doesn’t know if Thor is willing to work in that area, or if SHIELD would be willing to let such an alien visitor become a model on earth.
Of course, in addition to a model’s job, Thor is still powerful and it would be no problem for him to become a bodyguard, but this also depends on his own willingness and SHIELD.
“If you need my advice, we’ll talk about it next time we meet.” Thinking about what Thor can do, Lin Rui goes on.
“Well, are we still going to that bar?” Thor asked and it seemed that he really liked the atmosphere of the Margaret bar.
“Uh … no, I’m going to introduce two of my friends to you next time. It’s not appropriate to go there with them. Let’s meet later to make an appointment.”
“Well, goodbye then.”
