Capítulo 218: Chapter 218: Coulson's Plea for Help
It was unexpected for Coulson to call at this time, leaving Oaks somewhat surprised.
"Why didn't you contact your boss first?"
"I can't reach Director Fury!"
Coulson's tone was serious and tense.
"I'm in Zurich right now. Oaks, please, I need your help—
My agent is dying!"
"Dying? I remember Melinda..."
"...Melinda has already used the recovery potion, but her injuries are too severe!"
Coulson's voice grew more anxious.
"The medical center says that the potion can buy us at most an hour... It's been nearly three hours since Skye got shot, and I'm running out of options!"
"Alright, send me the coordinates. I'll go."
When Oaks heard the name "Skye," he finally understood what was going on.
Now that Coulson had not used the Tahiti Project for resurrection, it was natural that he wouldn't think of using it to treat Skye.
But because of this, what was John Garrett, also known as "The Clairvoyant," calculating by targeting Skye and subsequently Coulson?
Was he trying to lure him over?
Who did he think he was, making Oaks extend his lifespan for him?
Oaks chuckled coldly.
"It seems I should consider selling a batch of life-saving props to your agents at a high price."
"..."
Coulson let out a sigh of relief. Now that Oaks had agreed, the matter was considered resolved.
He couldn't forget how the doctor who saved him described Oaks' healing magic during the Battle of New York.
"As if he wasn't injured at all."
"I think I need to have a good talk with the Director about this. You can ask for a higher price."
Feeling relaxed, Coulson managed to crack a joke:
"How long will it take for you to arrive?"
"About ten minutes."
Oaks shook his head. It seemed he would have to postpone the matter with Dane. After all, it was a matter of life and death.
"That's great. It seems you're flying fast again."
"If you delay me any longer, I'll be late."
Oaks hung up the phone, and five seconds later, Coulson sent him his location.
Leaving a message saying "already left," Oaks arrived at the deck of the Ark and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon like a swift.
Zurich, Switzerland, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Trauma Treatment Center.
After making the phone call, Coulson became calm.
This made the young agents unable to help but show anticipation.
For them, their "family" being treated in the emergency room with a grim prognosis, Coulson's phone call was like a lifeline.
"Coulson, did that guy agree to help?"
Melinda also let out a sigh of relief. It was worth mentioning that when she and Sharon left the Benevolence Society, Oaks had also given them recovery potions.
However, these things were no longer available on the black market, so they had to use them sparingly.
In fact, in their missions during these days, the recovery potions had helped the agents overcome crises multiple times.
But Skye's injuries this time were too severe, so they had no choice but to seek Oaks' help.
"Yes, May."
Coulson sent the address and couldn't help but force a bitter smile:
"This favor can save Skye's life this time. But What about next time...?
As Oaks' status becomes more and more transcendent, if it's just a favor..."
"So what are you planning to do?"
Melinda frowned slightly. She was still somewhat afraid after the incident with the Berserker Staff. If Oaks hadn't pressured Professor Randolf to explain everything, they wouldn't have known what price they would have had to pay to resolve the situation.
Melinda had personally come into contact with the Berserker Staff, and she knew how dangerous it was.
Now, she was starting to miss her previous life in the Benevolence Society even more.
"May, Skye isn't an official S.H.I.E.L.D. agent yet."
Coulson's words stunned Melinda, and everyone else looked at him in surprise.
"Coulson, but we consider her as family!"
Melinda fell silent for a few seconds, and she could guess what Coulson was planning.
"She hasn't received rigorous agent training, and if she continues to go on missions, she's likely to get injured again—
When I saw her being treated in the emergency room, I started to question—
Bringing her into this team, was it really a good thing for her?
To be honest, initially, I was only interested in her hacking abilities."
"But have you ever considered that your current thoughts are very similar to the Director's back then—
Aren't you afraid that that guy will walk away?
Now he's not just a small plant shop owner anymore.
He's an Avenger, with two United Nations Earth Protector Awards, the Red Cross Medal of Honor, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, and even titles and positions from Asgard."
"He'll take care of Skye."
Coulson fell silent for a moment and smiled.
"I have no doubt about that. If given the chance, he might even want to recruit Fitz and Simmons. He's the founder of a top-level technology company, after all."
Fitz and Simmons widened their eyes and looked at each other, while Melinda burst into laughter.
"Unless S.H.I.E.L.D. is destroyed, we'll do everything to stop that."
Coulson looked at his team members with strange expressions, shrugged, and checked his watch.
"Well... it's almost time. Let's get ready to welcome Dr. Oaks."
...
When Oaks arrived at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Trauma Treatment Center in Zurich, Coulson was already waiting outside with Melinda, Fitz, Simmons, and Ward.
"Huh? This welcome ceremony seems grand."
Ward, who was witnessing a bird speak and transform into a person for the first time, widened his eyes.
The others had some previous contact with Oaks, so their reactions were relatively calm.
"Welcome, Dr. Oaks."
Coulson smiled and shook hands with Oaks as he approached.
"I had no choice this time, but I'll recommend the Director to place a high order for your life-saving props."
"Mr. Chairman, shouldn't we try a few test samples first?"
Melinda, dressed in a tight combat suit, approached with her arms crossed and looked Oaks up and down. He seemed different from before.
"You seem to be in good spirits. No more talk about 'experimental accidents,' Druid?"
"Hmm, Melinda, you're still as formidable as ever... But even if I give you test samples, how would you test them?"
Oaks smiled and took out a green acorn that glowed in his hand, handing it to Melinda.
"This is a life-saving prop, not a healing tool. Immortality doesn't mean being healthy."
"As long as we're not dead, we still have you."
Melinda took the acorn and played with it in her hand.
"It's quite similar to the bracelet you made back then."
"Good eye."
"Shouldn't we go and see Skye?"
Ward couldn't stand seeing them chatting so animatedly and was becoming anxious.
"She's still on the brink of death!"
"Yeah, you two senior agents are not as sensible as the young ones."
Oaks rolled his eyes, and Coulson smiled bitterly while shaking his head.
"Give it a rest. You're not even thirty yet."
He led the group to Skye's treatment room.
"Ward, we're just as worried about Skye as you are, but once you witness Oaks' abilities with your own eyes, you won't be so anxious."
