September 23, 2007, 12 noon.
Northern Russia, Kara Sea, Novi Port.
This is the main port of the Kara Sea, and the entire port is very large. The residents mainly live on fish farming. Not only that, but it is also a favorite fishing spot for many fishing enthusiasts from all over the world.
But today's Port Novi has ushered in two "uninvited guests"…
The Kara Sea, which has condensed into an endless sea of ice, makes people feel like they have come to the kingdom of ice under the sunshine.
While sitting on a bench at a viewing point on the embankment of the port, Leon looked ahead, feeling the coldness of the cold wind, and looking at the frozen Kara Sea in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! "
I saw him wearing a heavy down jacket with a pair of snow boots on his feet, pulling the woolen hat on his head, and suddenly asked Natasha Romanoff, who was sitting next to him, "How long will it be?"
"There's about fifteen minutes left…" Natasha Romanoff, who also wrapped herself into a zongzi and enjoyed the distant scenery together, looked down at his watch and replied calmly.
After escaping the hunt in the port of Nizhnyvartovsk, Leon, who was shot, was taken by Natasha Romanoff to a small town called "Kutsk".
After simply handling his gunshot wounds, in order not to miss the agreed evacuation time, Leon, whose wounds had not fully recovered, and Natasha Romanoff went on the road again.
This time, without the chasing soldiers constantly harassing and chasing behind them, the two of them are like young lovers going on an outing, driving the car and heading towards the destination…
And just half an hour ago, the two Leones finally arrived at the agreed evacuation point-Port Novi.
And there were only the last fifteen minutes left before S.H.I.E.L.D came to meet him.
Therefore, in order to keep a last memorial and to pass the remaining time, under Leon's proposal, the two came to the beach.
The two of them chatted aimlessly while waiting for the arrival of the reception…
Sitting on the bench, Natasha Romanoff looked up at the sun high in the sky, with half surprise and emotion in her tone: "It's really strange, I heard them say that there are rarely such sunny days in the Kara Sea…"
"Oh? Is that the case?" Leon took a deep breath when he heard Natasha Romanoff's words, and then smiled. "Then we have a rare occasion. Were we lucky to have such a good day?"
"Are you lucky… maybe."
Seeing Natasha Romanoff, who suddenly lowered his head and fell into silence, Leon was a little curious, and asked aloud, "Are you still thinking about what I just said?"
On the way to Port Novi, Leon introduced his identity and the organization behind it to Natasha Romanoff.
When she knew that she was about to join an intelligence agency supervised by the World Security Council, she was somewhat surprised and became a lot more relaxed.
She also knows a little bit about the title of "National Territory Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau."
She doesn't care much about whether the organization she joined is a notorious killer organization or a mysterious organization that interferes with the security issues of all countries in the world under the slogan of "maintaining world peace".
All she cares about is who she belongs to, and how she is going to go next!
After joining S.H.I.E.L.D, as a betrayal agent, did she completely give up her identity as an "agent" and transfer to the logistics department; or change a place and continue to use her best skills to work for the organization.
Even, he kept his name incognito, changed a new identity, and started a new life…
Of these three choices, she was a little hesitant…
Especially on the way to come, when Leon introduced her to the operation and internal structure of S.H.I.E.L.D, between the lines, it seemed that she very much hoped that she could continue to be an agent.
Inwardly, Natasha Romanoff didn't know what Leon was for him.
friend? Can't be called.
partner? A bit like.
Couple? does not exist!
However, one thing is certain is that it is very important to her to save her in the hands of the Red House and protect her Leon along the way!
It can be said that if there was no Leon, she might have died on that bridge long ago…
Therefore, Leon's opinion is also very important to Natasha Romanoff.
"Um…"
Natasha Romanoff nodded, then shook his head again.
Seeing Natasha Romanoff's undecided hesitation appearance, Leon thought for a while and said, "Actually, what I said in the car is my selfish intention. I want to persuade you to continue to be an agent. Even if it is you. I have no right to interfere…"
He looked forward quietly, his tone sounded vague, "I simply think that if you continue to be an agent, it will be very helpful to me, to the organization, and to the whole world."
"Because you can do things that many people can't do!"
While speaking, Leon slowly turned his head and looked at Natasha Romanoff expectantly with his bright and deep eyes:
"In your previous life, it can be said that you have always lived for the Red House."
"And now, you escaped their control and got the hard-won freedom. Don't you plan to see the world with your own eyes, experience it, and what it's like to live for yourself?"
"What's more, I think if I form a partner with you, it should be very powerful, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Natasha Romanoff couldn't help but stared at Leon's face, slowly, a charming smile appeared on his face, "I feel so too!"
The two smiled at each other, and the air was filled with a pleasant atmosphere…
Just as the two were chatting, they almost forgot the passage of time.
At the moment, from the surface of the sea, there was a sudden distortion of space.
"That is?!"
Under Natasha Romanoff's very surprised gaze, a S.H.I.E.L.D iconic fighter, Quin Jet, was released from its invisibility and suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
The strong wind brought by the engine caused the hair under the hats of the two of them to continue to flutter with the wind.
The gray fighter plane landed on the side of the open space under the gaze of the two.
The cabin door at the rear of the fighter was slowly opened.
Leon took the first step and came to the plane's gate, made a European knight's etiquette, smiled and said: "Welcome to the plane, Natasha Romanoff!"
. . . . . .
Seven hours later…
Located in the night sky of Manhattan, New York…
A Quin Jet with stealth mode turned on, accompanied by the loud noise of a turbo engine, slowly landed on the tarmac of a certain building.
When the door of the cabin was slowly opened, a tall and straight figure walked down slowly with a steady step.
But after that, there was a red-haired woman…
