Magic Journey from Hogwarts

Chapter 908: Living off the ex-girlfriend? A research project to revive the dead



Aaron gave Sky a brief introduction to the Triskelion Building while they were flying at high altitude, so that she, a first-level agent, would not feel uneasy when she arrived.

At this moment he suddenly paused, and the inertia of the sudden brake caused Skye's chest to be pressed tightly against his back.

"Hey! Are you doing this on purpose?" Skye teased with amusement, "If you like me, just say so!"

"Don't be funny, I really don't have much interest in you.

I just suddenly felt that something was not right." Aaron said solemnly, "But I can't say what it is specifically, it's just a hunch."

"Haha! A man's intuition?"

“You can look down on men’s intuition, but a fortune teller’s intuition is still very accurate.

Just now I had a sudden feeling that I was going to be in trouble, just like when I first met Tony Stark in Afghanistan.

No, it’s much more serious than that.”

"Why do you care so much? You don't even know what trouble is." Skye said speechlessly. At this moment, she suddenly thought of something, "Wait, aren't you a fortune teller? Why don't you try fortune telling?"

Aaron:......

One word awakens the dreamer!

I almost forgot that I’m a fortune teller. If you’re in doubt, you can just ask the crystal ball!

"You, didn't expect it?"

"How is that possible? It just feels like it happened a little suddenly." Aaron pretended to be calm and immediately accelerated forward on his motorcycle.

By the time the two arrived at the Triskelion Building, the battle was completely over.

Under the leadership of Steve Rogers, the SHIELD agents were in high spirits and captured all of Hydra, including Rumlow.

"Gaius, what did you do?" Steve walked over angrily. Behind him, two medical staff carried the unconscious Bucky onto a stretcher.

"As Fury requested, I captured him alive."

"There's no need to hurt him so badly!

Bucky already had one arm broken, and you shot him twice in his other arm and two in his legs. Do you want him to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair?"

Aaron curled his lips in disdain and said slowly, "Your friend has planned dozens of assassinations over the years."

“He’s been brainwashed.”

"I mean, do you know how dangerous he is?" Aaron asked, "If he hadn't been brainwashed, I wouldn't have done such a heavy hand.

And I remember that before the mission started, someone seemed to say that he was now a cold-blooded killing machine!

I can be a little gentle to him, but can you guarantee that he won't kill anyone if he still has the ability to resist?"

Steve opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Neither he nor Buggy can be considered normal people, especially Buggy. Even though he can only move one hand, he is several times more dangerous than a normal person.

"Besides, this little injury..."

"Small injury?"

"It's indeed a minor injury for the Winter Soldier." Aaron said calmly, "He will recover from this minor injury in no time.

If it were in my shop, his arms and legs would be healed in three days at most, without even needing a bandage.

You should be more concerned about his memory problem now!"

Steve hesitated for a moment, then asked awkwardly but politely, "You cured Barton after he was brainwashed by Loki, so you should be able to cure Bucky, right?"

"Yes!" Aaron answered without any pressure, "But I am very dissatisfied with your attitude just now, so..."

"I'm sorry, I was too emotional." Steve acted decisively. As long as Bucky could return to normal, he didn't mind suffering a little injustice.

"That's right!" Aaron nodded with satisfaction. "Although this apology doesn't seem very sincere, I will consider accepting it."

"How do I treat Bucky?"

"Well..." Aaron suddenly thought of something and said seriously, "I need something."

"what?"

"First, the cost of treatment."

Steve's face fell, he never expected Aaron to be so rude and take his money so confidently.

"How much?"

"I don't want much from you, one million dollars is enough."

Steve took a deep breath and asked, "Can I buy it on credit?"

He is Captain America, a household name superhero, but his financial resources are indeed a flaw.

Nick Fury only paid him the salary of an eighth-level agent every month. Even with mission bonuses and subsidies, it was only a few tens of thousands of dollars. It would take him two or three years to save up a million dollars without eating or drinking.

"What do you think?" Aaron raised his eyebrows playfully, then turned to look at Skye who was a little confused, and said seriously: "Did you see it?

The clear example in front of you should be able to tell you that money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done.

Nick Fury understands this, which is why he cares so much about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s funding."

"Okay! I'll go borrow some from Nick!"

"What do you want to do with him?" Aaron said with disdain, "He's always so stingy. If you borrow money from him, you have to pay him back double in the future by working for him.

You can look for your ex-girlfriend! As a veteran of S.H.I.E.L.D., Peggy Carter's retirement and pension are definitely generous, and one million is just a drop in the bucket for her.

Believe me, she will be very happy for you to eat her old and live off her."

Hearing this, Steve's face became particularly interesting, his fists clenched unconsciously, the urge to hit someone rose up frequently, but he suppressed it fiercely.

Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, absolutely don’t be angry.

Bucky is still waiting for him to treat him! The doctor must not be offended before he is cured.

Skye took a breath and said, "Although I didn't quite understand what you said, I could tell that it was not serious. It was very not serious."

"What do you know? I'm just trying to give them a chance to meet.

Otherwise, the way he is now, he would be too embarrassed to see Peggy Carter unless she was dying."

"Uh...but isn't it too awkward to meet just to borrow money?"

“It depends on why you are borrowing money?

Also, let me correct you, that is not borrowing money, that is property, no, it is the reasonable distribution of inheritance.

After all, Peggy Carter is now a dying old woman who doesn't have much time left to live. If she knew about Bucky Barnes' situation, she would definitely not be stingy with her wealth. "

"That's enough." Steve couldn't help but interrupt, "Besides the medical expenses, what else do you need?"

"Natasha Romanoff." Aaron said very simply, "She took something from me, and it's time for her to return it to me."

"Only these two?"

"Why? Isn't that enough for you?"

"No, I mean there's nothing else, right?"

"Of course, there are also hospital expenses.

I can heal Bucky's brain and restore his memory, but it will take some time, and I can't run around the hospital for him, so I can only let him stay with me temporarily."

Steve nodded blankly and asked tentatively: "How much does this cost?"

"Not much." Aaron held up a finger. "One million is enough."

Steve: …

"I'm going to go see Bucky first, and then I'll send him to you.

As for Natasha...I'll let her know."

Aaron said "Oh" nonchalantly, and then said, "What about the money? Two million dollars. I always do things for money."

Steve's face twitched, and he said speechlessly: "I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Aaron raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, then took Skye into the building.

Peggy Carter has completed negotiations with the Board of Directors and used the last period of her life to make arrangements for the future of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Natasha pushed her wheelchair to escort her out of the office. She was planning to meet Steve before returning to the nursing home, and happened to pass by Aaron who walked in.

"Have you finished discussing this?" Aaron looked at Nick Fury with a half-smile. "Looking at the smile on your face, I guess you didn't suffer any loss. On the contrary, you got quite a lot of benefits."

“I never thought about a showdown before, because after a showdown, too many things will be put on the table, each one more troublesome than the last, not to mention the heavy responsibility, but also hard to explain.

But now it seems that a showdown is not a bad thing. At least SHIELD can get more support, control more resources, and do things without having to be as cautious as before. "

Nick Fury leaned back in the chair behind his desk as if relieved. He was as relaxed as if he had slept until he woke up naturally after staying up for several days in a row. "Thanks to Alexander Pierce, he created a suitable opportunity for S.H.I.E.L.D., otherwise Ms. Peggy might not agree with my suggestion."

"Then I have to congratulate you!"

"Don't congratulate me, I can only say that there are pros and cons!

The current problem has been solved, but it may be difficult in the future."

Aaron chuckled. He didn't believe a word Nick Fury said.

After being in this universe for so long, in his opinion, there are only two people who can be called old perverts, Odin, the God King of Asgard, and Nick Fury of the Earth.

"Why did you bring her here?" Nick Fury looked at Skye, who was a little reserved behind Aaron, "The top hacker of Coulson's team."

"Report the mission!" Aaron said casually, then winked at Skye, "Here's the chance for you, seize it!"

Skye forced a smile, slowly turned his gaze to Coulson, and hesitated to speak.

Seeing her behavior, Coulson had some guesses in his mind, "If you want to find files about your parents..."

"We'll talk about this later." Skye gritted his teeth and interrupted, "Just listen to my report first! Coulson, you'd better be mentally prepared."

Coulson's expression suddenly froze, and he asked tentatively, "Did Ward really betray you?"

Skye nodded, “Ward is indeed Hydra and has been working for Garrett.

Garrett is the Clairvoyant, and has been using SHIELD intelligence to cover his identity."

"You didn't catch them?"

"Originally, Mei had the situation under control, but Garrett had someone to back him up, and he also had a centipede team under him. We were no match for them at all."

Coulson's heart skipped a beat. "Where are the others? Are they okay?"

“Everyone is fine, we hid in a cabin in time and locked the door.

But the Airbus was taken away by them, and Ward removed the cabin halfway and sank us to the bottom of the sea."

"You really have to thank me this time." Aaron said seriously, "If I hadn't risked my life to dive into the seabed to pull them out, they would have suffocated to death in less than half an hour."

Coulson heaved a sigh of relief and immediately thanked Aaron solemnly. He then looked at Skye and comforted him, "It's good that everyone is okay. As for the Airbus...it's not the first time it's been hijacked. It's good that we can get it back."

"You'd better get that plane back." Nick Fury interrupted unhappily, "I remind you, Agent Coulson, that plane is... expensive."

"Uh...I understand, sir."

"Although the process was exciting and a bit of a failure, we did not gain nothing." Skye said with a wry smile, "Garrett himself was injected with centipede serum, and the amount was much larger than that of other centipede warriors."

"What did you say?" Coulson was really shocked. "Are you sure?"

"This is what Mei saw with her own eyes. We speculate that something went wrong with Garrett's body, so he had to use the centipede serum, which is full of hidden dangers and uncertainties, to prolong his life.

He conducted so many human experiments, probably to eliminate his own hidden dangers.

Remember why the Clairvoyant tried so hard to catch you? Garrett wanted to find out why you came back to life, probably for his own survival. "

Coulson glanced at Aaron unconsciously, "Garrett still has some sense and didn't fight you to death."

"He has to have that ability." Aaron sneered.

"Also, there is some not-so-good news." Skye glanced at Nick Fury hesitantly, "I don't know how Garrett found out that SHIELD has a similar research project on resurrecting the dead. If nothing goes wrong, he has already arrived at the research base."

"Fuck you!" Nick Fury couldn't hold it in any longer. "Agent Coulson."

“I understand, the TAHITI project.

That drug is only approved for use after an Avenger is downed, but the side effects are such that people can lose control."

"I'm more worried about the source of the drug." Nick Fury rubbed his forehead tiredly, "Garrett must die, otherwise he is just a perverted lunatic.

What's more, he has a low-end version of the serum. The longer he lives, the greater the disaster he will cause."

"Yes, sir."

“Garrett, and Ward, leave them to your team.

If there is a problem that cannot be solved..." Nick Fury paused, turned his head and looked at Aaron, "Go directly to him."

"Okay, sir."

Click! Click!

Aaron blinked in confusion. "Wait, what do you mean by come directly to me? Do I look like someone who has so much free time?"

"You have a mutant girlfriend. If you need help in the future, SHIELD will return the favor." Nick Fury said meaningfully with an extremely confident expression.

He also studied Aaron for a while. He was not easily persuaded and acted according to his mood, but he was not without weaknesses. At least he could grasp Jean Grey's identity as a mutant.

"Oh! Wait for me here!" Aaron's eyes had a hint of hostility. "When someone asked me for help today, he seemed to say that SHIELD owed me a favor, right?"

Nick Fury: Holy shit!
