Chapter 807: Gradually discovering the truth
In the living room, Tony asked Jarvis to play the two videos one after the other, and accompanied Nick Fury to watch them again.
The two were silent the whole time, even after the video ended, they didn't speak for a long time.
Tony is once again in grief, and Nick Fury is shocked by the seriousness of the matter, and he smells the smell of conspiracy, a shocking conspiracy.
"Tony, where did you get the tape?"
"Call me Mr. Stark, our relationship isn't good enough to be called by name."
"Tony, we're talking about another Mr. Stark, and I don't want to be messed up with your mind, you know?"
"OK, just this once."
Tony shrugged: "The tape was received in two parts, the death tape was brought from the mysterious man in Monaco, who said it was a gift fifteen years late. Another video was brought from Mr. Stark, yes, you heard it right, he sent it to me. ”
Tony didn't mention the old man who sent the delivery, and Nick Fury subconsciously ignored it, and the more the latter listened, his face darkened, and he continued to ask questions after a moment of silence.
"Is there anything else besides the tape?"
Tony said decisively: "No! ”
Nick Fury's eyes widened: "Please answer carefully, this is important. ”
"Well, there are a couple of diaries, but don't think about it, I'm not going to show you, that's some ...... Uh......"
Tony struggled with the wording and gave an answer that was very much in line with Howard's character: "In the diary is Mr. Stark's affair account, which is about the family's face, and no matter what reason you use, I will not show it to you." ”
Tony is vague and Nick Fury realizes that what's in the diary is important!
His face was gloomy, others didn't know Howard's multiple identities, and as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he knew everything in his heart.
He realized that there was a very bad problem, and that Howard would rather keep the diary and video alone than store it in S.H.I.E.L.D., which he had single-handedly established, was ......
The enemy is too strong for S.H.I.E.L.D. to fight, or maybe it's not safe to place in S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Just as Howard was reluctant to tell Tony the identity of his enemies, he didn't mention it to his S.H.I.E.L.D. colleagues, not even a single clue or hint.
If it weren't for seeing Howard's warning to Tony today, Nick Fury would never have dreamed that there was such a powerful organization on Earth.
"Tony, what is the purpose of the enemy?"
"They kidnapped your parents and killed them in the end, but in fact, if they don't expose themselves, don't contact you in Monaco, and don't even give you the video, they can continue to hide it, and it doesn't make sense to expose themselves so willfully."
"I don't know, maybe it's a sign that they're ready to step out of the curtain and be in the spotlight, and some people like to do that, like me."
“……”
Nick Fury ignores Tony's nonsense, only to feel that there must be something hidden in it, and the conspiracy uncovers the tip of the iceberg, and a heavy fog envelops his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The outcome he feared the most, or the worst situation, was that S.H.I.E.L.D. had an internal ghost, and it was so powerful that Howard acted cautiously and did not dare to borrow the power of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Then the question arises, who is the inner ghost?
Several important figures who formed S.H.I.E.L.D. at the beginning, leaving aside the personnel of the US imperialist government, Howard Stark, Peggy Carter, and Hank Pym are well-deserved giants.
These are the only two people who can compete with Howard.
Is it Peggy Carter, or Hank Pym, or both?
Nick Fury shook his head, he felt that he should have thought too much, if this was the case, the situation was not irreparable, S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time was far from having the power it has now, Howard only needed to secretly get in touch with the US imperialist military, and he could arrest the two between his backhands.
Besides, if S.H.I.E.L.D. had rotten roots from the beginning, he would not have been promoted to the position of director!
It sounds ridiculous to leave your own people alone and hand over power to an outsider.
Therefore, Howard did not want to believe in S.H.I.E.L.D., not because he was an internal ghost, but because he did not believe that the strength of S.H.I.E.L.D. could fight against a strong enemy.
With such an analysis, Nick Fury's face looks a little better.
A strong enemy is not terrible, what is terrible is a stab from the back, judging by the current situation, the probability of a stab in the back is very low, and there is still room for maneuver.
"Director Fury, I know you have a lot to think about, but I also have ......"
"Wait a minute!"
Nick Fury raised his hand to stop Tony, took out his palm-sized personal computer from his pocket, and after a series of operations, nodded and motioned for Tony to continue.
Tony blinked, "What's that, I see you're posting papers." ”
"Yes, I sent the video files to Agent Natalie and Captain Marvel Steve."
Nick Fury explained, "Agent Natalie is at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, and you may be able to find out the identity of your parents' killers by referring to the database at headquarters. Captain Marvel Steve: You should know that the former Captain America, he and your father were friends, maybe he would know something. ”
Tony frowned: "Are you sending out my personal privacy, or such important information?" ”
"They're all very trustworthy, at least much more reliable than you!"
Nick Fury glared at Tony, he had great trust in the two of them, Agent Natalie was introduced by the previous Director Pierce, and without Pierce being able to defy public opinion and delegate power, he would not have been able to become the new Director, so Agent Natalie has always been one of his confidants.
Not to mention the other, if Captain America is not trustworthy, who else can be trusted?
"Wait a minute, Director Fury, this Natalie agent you're talking about......"
Tony raised his eyebrows, revealing a suspicious look: "I seem to have heard of it somewhere, delusional?" ”
"It's not a delusion, because you were killed in palladium, I sent her to the Stark Group undercover, at first it was just the legal department, but you directly transferred her to an assistant."
Tony's face stinked, and he snorted coldly, "Very good, tell her that she won't have to go to work tomorrow." ”
Tick Tick!!
There was a reply from the palm-sized private computer, and Nick Fury clicked on it and looked: "It's the information sent by Agent Natalie, there is information at the headquarters, and the identity of the metal one-armed man has been found out." ”
"Quick, show me!"
It was a matter of killing relatives and hating, Tony quickly snatched the private computer, quickly glanced at it, and after a while, he handed it back to Nick Fury with a solemn face.
James Buchanan Barnes!
Male, born in 1917, sergeant of the 107th Army Division of the U.S. Army during World War II, member of the Roaring Commando, American/Captain Marvel's best friend, confirmed to have died on the battlefield in 1944.
“……”x2
"Director Fury, you just made a fatal mistake and shouldn't have sent the video file to Captain America."
Tony's face turned pale: "I really can't imagine that the murderer of my parents is actually Captain America's former comrade-in-arms, he must know something." ”
"No, don't rush to conclusions, there must be a misunderstanding here......"
Nick Fury's eyes twinkled: "The S.H.I.E.L.D. file indicates that Barnes is dead, maybe he was captured and then modified, and you can see his mechanical arm." ”
"Really? But I think the mastermind behind it is Captain America, and his father's strong enemy is him, after all, ......"
The more Tony spoke, the more it made sense: "After all, he is the strongest superhero on Earth, and he has also traveled to outer space, so there is a great possibility of mastering alien technology at hand." ”
"Alien technology? Why mention this? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I just think there's something wrong with Captain America."
Tony changed the subject: "Is it possible that the real Captain America is dead, and the current Captain Marvel is an alien spy pretending?" ”
“……”
You've got a big brain!
Nick Fury sighed in his heart, but it has to be said that Tony's guess is not entirely impossible.
If this is the case, it just explains why Howard doesn't trust S.H.I.E.L.D., because Peggy Carter, one of the founding fathers of S.H.I.E.L.D., is Captain America's lover.
For a time, Nick Fury Khan rained down.
"You just sent the video file?"
“……”
The two looked at each other, thinking that this place should not stay for long, and Nick Fury said, "I have a safe house, only I know, and now I will go immediately." ”
"Okay, wait for me to change into my suit."
Boom!
The sound of the sky breaking hits, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony are pushed open, and the gloomy America/Captain Marvel Steve Rogers walks into the living room.
In fact, Steve's face was just a little gloomy, and under the subjective consciousness of the two, it became a standard villain face.
"Director Fury! Mr. Stark! ”
"Captain, you're here."
"Hey, Captain!"
Now that it's too late to escape, the two of them say hello hard, only to ask Steve to be mentally retarded and not see through them to know the truth.
Steve looked at the TV screen, swept over the frozen portrait of Howard in the picture, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Director Fury, please forget about today's events, remember not to spread the word, believe me, this is for your good." ”
"And you, Tony Stark, don't ask who the enemy is, I won't tell you, that's what Howard wants, he doesn't want you to be swept up in."
Tony's face changed, and he couldn't avoid the disaster, so he said stubbornly: "Captain, don't pretend, we all know that you are the mastermind behind the scenes, you are the one who planned all the conspiracy, and it was you who killed my parents." ”
Steve: "......"
