Time: March 21, 2013
Location: Washington, Trident headquarters.
In the large minister's office, Alexander Pierce, dressed in a gray suit, stands in front of the French window with his hands in his pockets, his eyes quietly looking down at the scenery outside.
His sight has been staying on the sparkling Potomac River.
Below that location is the Insight Hangar...
"If you want to build a better world, sometimes it means tearing down the old ones. As for the pioneers who pressed the detonating device, let me do it..."
In a low voice, Pierce retracted his gaze and suddenly asked:
"Jasper, have the directors set off?"
This sound seemed to wake up another person standing in the office.
The bald brother who stood not far behind Pierce stepped forward and immediately responded:
"Yes, it should arrive at headquarters as scheduled."
"How's that in New York? He didn't notice anything wrong, did he?"
Although he didn't name him, but as Pierce's confidant, Brother Bald knew exactly who the "he" was.
Apart from Leon Coulson, who is number one on the HYDRA threat list, who else is there? !
"According to our report from the informant placed in the New York branch, he has been in the New York branch and Nirvana Group according to the schedule during this time. Among the visitors of the manor, in addition to Ophelia, there is also Stark who will come from time to time. , And nothing special."
"From the analysis of his mode of action, he doesn't seem to care much about the launch of the insight plan."
"Has our bait been released?"
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Sitwell reached out and pushed his glasses, and smiled:
"Yes. Ten minutes ago, the subordinates just confirmed that Leon Phil Coulson is now in the conference room of the New York branch. Meeting with the branch agents, preparing to track down those mechanical puppets."
Ultron was wiped out by Avengers, but the mechanical legion production line it left over was not completely destroyed.
The finishing touch was S.H.I.E.L.D, going around and around, and finally fell into the hands of HYDRA.
At the critical moment when the Insight Project is about to start, in order to keep Leon busy, they deliberately created multiple robot attacks all over the world.
I have to say that in order to divert Leon's attention, HYDRA really took great pains...
From this, it can also be seen that in the past few years of confrontation, HYDRA, which was at a disadvantage, has been afraid of Leon.
"Keep a close eye, today is a big day, I don't want to make any mistakes, you know?"
"I see."
Pierce took off the gold glasses on the bridge of his nose and rubbed the temples that were a little sore due to over-thinking. He did not forget to say:
"Get the killer ready, and if you find anything wrong, do it right away! The most important thing is to stop him from leaving New York!"
"Yes!"
Before leaving the window, Pierce walked to the coffee table, put down his glasses casually, and continued to ask:
"What about other potential threats?"
"Romanov and Rogers take the special team to perform missions in Georgia, and will not return for a while. We are all around us, and their every move is controlled by us."
"So much the better…"
He picked up the two glasses of whiskey already poured on the coffee table, Pierce handed one of them to the bald brother.
Some were flattered and took the wine glass, the bald brother forced his inner joy, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm.
"In this way, now as long as the stupid directors arrive, the show will begin..."
After speaking, Pierce lifted the glass slightly, looked at his confidant, and smiled:
"Hail Hydra!"
"Hail Hydra!"
As soon as the voice fell, the two wine glasses touched lightly, and there was a "clang"...
. . .
The sun is clear and cloudless.
"The weather is nice today..."
"Yes, if there is the best weather for the mothership to lift off, maybe it will be today."
Standing in the lobby of the Trident headquarters, two S.H.I.E.L.D senior figures, Pierce and Fury, accompanied by a number of heavily armed agents, chatted while waiting for the arrival of the board members.
"By the way, Nick, wait for the launch order of the insight plan, or you? After all, this insight plan was proposed by you, and it is more appropriate for you to give the order."
For this somewhat unexpected question, Fury took a deep look at Pierce, the old boss, and said blankly:
"It's up to you, I'm not interested in this kind of ritual..."
It seems very embarrassing "Well then..."
The two were not allowed to wait too long. Five minutes later, the four directors of the World Security Council walked into the lobby under the escort of several agents.
Upon seeing this, Pierce, who was the host, immediately greeted him.
"Is Flight happy?"
"Very good, but on the way from the airport to here, it's not so good." said the female director who is the representative of the United Kingdom.
"Sorry, S.H.I.E.L.D can't control everything..."
As soon as the voice fell, another male director immediately answered in a pointed manner: "Including Avengers."
Hearing this, Pierce glanced at Fury subconsciously, without speaking.
Fury's dark face, as always, did not change in any way.
At this time, an Aegis agent appeared in front of everyone with a black box in his hand, which eased the embarrassment in the air by the way.
Open the black box, inside are four rectangular miniature identification cards.
"This device is controlled by biometrics, allowing you to travel here unimpeded."
Seeing all four directors put on the device, the smile on Pierce's face became brighter.
"this way please!"
Taking the elevator, a group of people went straight to the World Security Council meeting room on the 45th floor.
In the originally empty conference room, there was a long table on which a bottle of champagne was already opened.
As you can see, on the screen, it is the countdown screen for the launch of Insight. Only the last two hours are left until the three insight sky motherships rise to the sky.
Passing a glass of champagne to Fury and the directors, Pierce stood in front of the virtual projection screen and started his speech:
"I know there are a lot of bumps on this road, some of you still want to kick me out of the car..."
"Finally, we are here..."
In a low whisper, Pierce slowly turned around, faced a few people, raised the champagne in his hand vigorously, and said:
"The whole world should thank us!"
After that, he took a sip of the champagne in the glass.
At the moment, from the indoor broadcasting system, a strong magnetic male voice suddenly came out:
"Attention to all S.H.I.E.L.D agents!"
