Ten thousand feet above the sky.
The plane belonging to the Hellfire was weaving through the clouds.
Inside the cabin of the plane, there were clearly dozens of people, but it was very quiet, a bit eerily quiet.
Looking at the figure taking small sips of red wine, most of them couldn't help but slow their breathing for fear of upsetting the other party and being sucked out of their life force, turning into a handful of dust without any value.
The Black Queen's gaze flicked over the Hellfire's people, coldness and disdain all over her eyes.
She was enjoying this feeling.
This feeling of others fearing her, having to listen to her and be manipulated by her.
It gave her a strange kind of pleasure.
She loved destruction, she loved chaos, she loved collecting life force, she loved watching life turn to dust in her hands, and she loved watching everyone kneel before her in fear ...
She just purely loves these feelings, loves them so much that she can hardly stop herself, so she destroys and gives pain to people to satisfy her own.
Oh, yes.
There's a name she likes a lot.
Artist.
She felt like an artist who used the world as a canvas, with pain and destruction as the dye.
Just the thought of the scene that would emerge in a moment made her body shudder gently.
Erik silently put on his helmet.
The Black Queen's powers were bizarre and he had to be on guard against the other side.
Sweeping his eyes over the faces of the other mutants, Eric lowered his head, coldness all around his eyes.
Just then, a voice full of deference rang out from within the plane.
"Black Queen, we have arrived in Washington."
As soon as he heard this, Eric was stunned, and although his face did not change, he had already exclaimed in his heart.
How could it be Washington?
How could it be Washington?
Hell, wasn't it New York?
What about Charles?
A series of questions emerged from his mind, and he looked at the Black Queen's back with anger and anxiety in his eyes.
This woman, she didn't trust anyone at all, not even them, the four captains.
From the very beginning, this woman's target had been Washington! It wasn't even the mysterious mutant she was talking about!
How should I inform Charles and the others?
Eric was so anxious that he couldn't help but take off his helmet and call out to Charles in his head.
It was no use.
Charles had left his mind after learning of the Black Queen's plan.
Calling?
A bitter smile spread across the corners of Eric's mouth; it was impossible.
Let alone the fact that they were on a plane now, the phone wouldn't even work, and even if it did, calling in plain sight, especially in front of the Black Queen's eyes, simply wouldn't do.
What was to be done?
Would they have to wait for Charles and the others to get the message and then come back?
That would be too late.
No, if Charles asked his father for help ...
It was going to involve Mike again.
Eric was a little helpless, but it was the only way he could think of.
"All ready!"
The Black Queen's voice broke the silence as she stepped into the middle of everyone and said, "We've taken a lot of hits and been captured during this time in Hellfire, this is our time to settle scores with them."
"Everyone, kill to your heart's content! Let the world remember us!"
"Target, S.H.I.E.L.D.! Make them pay!"
S.H.I.E.L.D. and that mutant, both were her enemies.
Her target to begin with was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters in Washington.
I wonder how funny the faces of those enemies gathered in New York will be when they learn their true target?
With a faint smile, the Black Queen reached out and pressed her hand against the bulkhead of the plane, and after an invisible life force was injected into the plane, the entire plane was in her control, flying towards S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Triskelion Headquarters like a giant bird of steel.
The plane made an unbearable sound as it descended rapidly, and as it approached a certain distance from S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, a warning was immediately received.
In response, the Black Queen only smiled lightly, while the madness in her eyes grew thicker.
Several fighter jets flew up from below and came charging towards them.
She simply looked at Erik and said, "Over to you, Magneto! Hold off their attacks!"
Eric nodded and mentally very helpless.
The Black Queen didn't care about the attacks from these fighters, but the other mutants would be miserable if they were attacked.
So, as those fighters attacked them, he could only use his abilities to deflect the incoming missiles.
But with the abilities he had shown, that was all he could do.
Still, it was enough for the Hellfire men.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
The Black Queen gave Eric an appreciative look.
Baam, Baam, Baam!
The plane slammed straight into the tallest building in S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters like a violently impacting meteorite.
Alarms sounded inside S.H.I.E.L.D. Hearing the danger signal, the men of S.H.I.E.L.D. began to take refuge as fast as they could, retreating towards the outside of the building.
Nick Fury looked at the black dots flying in from the distance and growing in size, his face very hard but surprisingly not too distressed ...
He picked up his own phone and headed out the door.
Just as he reached the office door, Maria Hill appeared in front of him and calmly said, "Chief! Get out of here! We can't stop it from landing, all attacks are blocked."
Nick Fury nodded and said, "Don't mind me, do what you have to do, Hill."
Maria Hill nodded and pressed the comm in her ear to direct the agents at headquarters as she headed out.
"Withdraw all of them, inform the combat division and tell them to surround the headquarters, contain the scene and kill any intruders at the first sign of the plane landing!"
Nick Fury, who had also made a mad dash outwards, then pressed a number.
The phone rang with a nursery rhyme he liked to listen to and couldn't resist humming softly along with it twice as he entered his special lift.
On the other side, the plane, under the control of the Black Queen, was getting closer and closer to the headquarters building, and at this terrifying speed of impact the vast majority of people on board would have been reduced to mush.
Yet, strangely enough, not a single person was frightened by this.
Of course, it wasn't that they had the sense to die, but there was one mutant with a certain ability.
He could use an invisible force field shield to protect his target, be it a person or an object, but it was short-lived, lasting only a few seconds, and could not move on its own while protected by the force field shield.
The distance is getting closer and closer, three hundred meters, one hundred meters ...
The mutant let out a low cry and unleashed his powers just as the plane was about to crash into the building.
Only a transparent stance shield appeared on the outer wall of the plane, protecting the entire plane before it smashed directly into the building.
Boom!
Like an incredibly powerful steel bomb, the moment the plane came into contact with the building, it smashed through the roof of the building and kept on slamming downwards with a loud bang, amidst the stirring earth and rock flying dust.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of the crash continued to resonate, and from the height, a huge crater appeared in the middle of the majestic building.
The plane, which had lost its impact, finally hit the ground, leaving a crack in the ground, while the fuselage, which had plunged to the bottom, swayed gently under the control of the Black Queen and hit the ground in parallel.
In the next second, the force field disappeared into thin air.
