Chapitre 87: Chapter: 87
"Hey, Coulson, is there something you need?" Mark asked as he received a call from Coulson on the helicopter.
It had been a long time since Coulson contacted him since the last time he helped S.H.I.E.L.D. solve the power issue with the Helicarrier.
"It's been a while, Mark. I can hear it's noisy around you, can you hear me on the phone?"
"No problem. Tony just received the helicopter I gave him as a birthday gift, so he took me and Pepper for a test flight. If you have something to say, go ahead, I can hear you clearly."
"Alright, our Director Fury and someone wants to meet you and your father, Tony Stark, tomorrow. I'm not sure if it's convenient for you."
"I have no problem with that, but I need to check if Tony has time. I'll get back to you later, Coulson."
"Okay, I won't disturb you for now. Call you later."
The next day, at the donut shop.
"Did you call us out to discuss your superhero boy band again? Honestly, I'm not interested."
Tony and Fury sat facing each other at a table in the booth by the window, with Mark sitting beside Tony.
"I remember you like to handle everything on your own. The difference is that you mess things up while Mark solves things perfectly. Isn't that ironic? How's the research on the new element going? Any results?"
When Nick Fury mentioned the new element, Tony widened his eyes and looked at him with surprise. "How do you know that I've been searching for a new element?"
After Tony finished speaking, he stared at Mark with his large, expressive eyes. "You even told him?!" It was clear that Tony was suspicious and blamed Mark for blabbering.
Mark innocently replied, "It wasn't me. When have I ever revealed your information to someone who's just an acquaintance? I'm selective about that, you know!"
"Your business wasn't revealed by Mark, but by me." At this moment, a curvaceous redhead in a black tight suit approached from behind the father and son. She then said to Fury, "I cleared the area, but it's better not to take too much time."
Seeing the face of the person, Tony suddenly became angry and said, "You've been fired, Miss Natalia!"
Fury made room for the newcomer to sit beside him and introduced, "Tony, this is Natasha Romanoff, a Level 7 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Hahaha..." Just as Tony was shocked by the truth of the situation, Mark broke the serious atmosphere. "Dad, you mean you haven't even noticed that there's an agent lurking around you? That's hilarious! I'm much better than you. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Melinda, who was sent to me was spotted by me on the first day."
Although Mark recognized both Melinda and Natasha due to the advantage of being a prophet as a time traveler, Still he wouldn't miss the chance to mock Tony.
On the other hand, Fury and Natasha were genuinely shocked. They didn't expect that Melinda May, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most elite and top agents, had been discovered by the surveillance target on her very first day of infiltration.
If it weren't for Mark being such a law-abiding and good-hearted kid, but instead was a vicious and evil criminal, Melinda would likely be in danger.
"I'm very sorry, both of you. But the surveillance I sent to monitor you was not malicious. I just wanted to observe and see if you have the qualifications to join the Avengers Initiative while ensuring your safety.
And if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have known that Tony is already sick, let alone that you, Mark, are hiding so many valuable things without bringing them out. It seems that the price we negotiated last time didn't satisfy you."
"I'm not sick, I'm just palladium poisoned," Tony stubbornly replied.
"Is that so? If it weren't for Mark's hibernation chamber helping you, would you still be bouncing around like this?"
"But I've made progress. I looked through Howard's old manuscripts, and I believe I'll soon find a new element to replace palladium."
"Perhaps I have something that can help you..."
Three minutes later...
Nick: "Thank you both for coming today. It was a pleasant conversation. Mark, remember our deal. Bring your list of inventions when you have time, and I'll grant you access to the highest-level technical data to choose from.
Before you leave, I also want to ask, how did you manage to identify Agent Melinda's identity during your first meeting with her?"
Mark raised an eyebrow, his thoughts flashing in his mind, and he came up with a plausible explanation. "Since you asked sincerely, I'll generously tell you. To maintain... Wait, I misspoke.
Ahem—here's the thing, I previously developed an emotion perception system for Baymax. Through the algorithm derived from this system, I created a system called Sibyl, which can capture facial information from surveillance cameras and determine the threat level and corresponding emotions of a person towards me.
When Melinda came for an interview, the candidate not only failed to show any respectful emotions towards her future boss but her threat level even exceeded that of adult males in our company.
Women like her usually engage in extraordinary work, and I have only sensed such temperament from Coulson before, so I knew she was an agent from our first meeting.
However, it was only after confirming that Agent Romanoff is indeed a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and considering their similar joining dates, I deduced Melinda was also sent by your agency."
Applause ensued!
"Brilliant!" Nick Fury applauded and cheered for Mark's reasoning. "It seems our agents still need to continue improving, or they might be replaced by advanced technology."
