The pirate listened patiently to all that Maria had to say about her findings for the day. Maria was surprised since she didn't find the surprise she had hoped to find on Fury's face. For her it was something like a bummer, since Maria remembered the one time when Fury was surprised and he looked comical with that expression on his face. Meanwhile, Fury was surprised, but he just had a better control over his emotions than Maria had thought him to have. By the end, Maria told him about what Bruce had asked her for. Nick smiled while the gears in his brain were turning.
According to what he had found about the so-called Brother of Natasha Romanoff, one thing remained the fact. Bruce Wayne is smart. And Nick believed that with enough time and under the correct guide, Wayne could become the smartest person alive. Even smarter than Tony Stark or his father, Howard Stark. And it would be foolish of him as the head of an organization that has their hands over many things, including mythical shet, to not get such a guy under him. Maybe make him his left hand or something in the future would be pretty cool.
The reason for Nick having such thoughts was because he knew something that no one else knew. Bruce Wayne was the son of Thomas and Maria Wayne. They were the rich couple who ruled most of the industries and institutions in America and in many other places all over the globe. It would be so cool to have someone who is rich to work under himself. He had no idea if Natasha knew about Bruce's past, not that it mattered anymore. The Wayne Family was uprooted from the world, at least that's what everyone thought for a long time.
But the head of Wayne's family, Thomas Wayne, was smarter and knew the plans of other famous families. He made sure to not let those properties under him to fall into their hands. The Wayne couple were killed later in the hands of some low life in Gotham, but it is not much hard for someone like Nick Fury who runs a large international organisation under the World Council to find the truth. Fury smiled and said, "Go find Phil and ask him for the laptop. I am sure we have something that Bruce would like. "
Maria nodded and took her leave. Just when she was about to walk out of the door, she stopped. It was because Nick Fury spoke, "Wait. " Maria turned around, and Fury continued, "Keep an eye on him. And make sure to let Coulson install bugs on the laptop and no one should know about this. " Maria was weirded out by this fetish of Nick Fury of voyeurism, but she chose not to say anything to her boss. She nodded and left. Meanwhile, Nick Fury smiled and walked to the only window on this floor of the building. Looking outside, he raised his cup to drink his coffee.
"Let's just hope you aren't like the others, not knowing when to work under others. ", Nick muttered.
I was alone in the house while Maria had left. I understood the risks of asking for a laptop from a spy. It was very clear that she is would talk to Fury about me. I was also sure that I would get the laptop I need, or probably the best laptop in the world. But it would be full of bugs and shet to spy on me. With the knowledge I had, I could play this game with Fury. For me, it would be alright if I could be free from the crosshairs of Nick Fury.
He would surely want to recruit me, but I won't. Not now, not ever. There were a lot of loopholes in my plans, but I had time, and I would make sure to think about everything before taking the next step. First, I need to create Artificial Intelligence. The Batman Bruce had Alfred who took care of such small things for him, and I don't have one, so instead I would make one. What should I name her would be something to worry about later.
I decided to sleep for sometime, since all that reading had exhausted me. I woke up to the sound of the doorbell ringing. With a yawn, I stood up and walked towards the door. Just when I was about to open the door, I saw the doorknob was about to twist open by itself. I couldn't help but smile at this. The reason for my smile was because I knew who it was. It was obviously Maria Hill. I could feel it was her. Before she could open the door and be stuck in an awkward situation, I decided to open the door myself.
"Hey. " , I spoke when I saw her. She had changed her clothes and had a backpack on her. Without waiting for anything, she stepped beside me and entered in the house.
Giving the backpack to me, she said, "Here, the laptop you asked for. This one is installed with the best security and best system you could ever find out. This is made by a tech genius I know, personally customised by her. I bet you won't be able to find something better than this. " I understood who she was talking about. I had memories of a series called Agents of Shield from my past life, and there was someone like that in that show. I don't remember her name, but there was this character.
Taking the laptop off her hands, I turned on the laptop. It showed the logo of the OS of the laptop, which was something I had no idea about. I had never seen that logo anywhere before. And from the bits of memory I had of my past life, I was sure that I hadn't seen it in my previous life too. Maria probably understood my thinking, because she spoke, "That's made by another one of my friend, Jess Morgan. She is great at making Operating Systems. But she doesn't like the fame and money. "
I was surprised by this. Jess was probably an agent of Shield, but that doesn't mean that she won't need some extra money. If it were me, I would have made my own company with just an Operating System. I couldn't help but smile, when I thought what all I could do in this world. Tony Stark mainly focused on arms industry, so there was a lot of competition in those areas, but I am sure that I could establish myself above them all.
Thanking Maria, I took the laptop to my room to check other features.
