Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Pegasus Project
"It's incredible, where did you find him?" Rhodes was a little excited. After all, this was the first superhero in American history.
Coulson on the side explained to Rhodes the process of discovering Captain America. After all, he is a die-hard fan of Captain America. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep since he discovered Captain America.
Natasha walked in from the door. Tony greeted her when he saw her. "Hi! Long time no see. Can you still summon your hammer?"
Since the battle with the Destroyer, Natasha has left Stark Industries and has been replaced by Sharon Carter, Peggy Carter's niece.
"It's not mine, but I can certainly use it," Natasha corrected Tony.
"We have conducted a detailed examination of Natasha, and our medical researchers believe that Mjolnir's power has given Natasha unimaginable superpowers."
Nick Fury explained why Natasha disappeared for so long, because they arranged for people to do many examinations on her. This was for safety reasons because they could not be sure whether the large amount of lightning would cause harm to her.
They also tested the physical fitness before and after picking up the hammer, but they soon discovered that Natasha could only unleash the power of thunder and lightning when she had Mjolnir.
Since Natasha herself said that Mjolnir is with Thor and she needs his consent before she can use it, in other words, Thor has a higher priority than her.
Considering that during the battle against the Destroyer, Mjolnir flew from Natasha to Thor's hand, and then Natasha's armor and divine power disappeared, the researchers believe that what she said is likely to be correct.
Nick Fury felt a little regretful that they couldn't keep Mjolnir, but fortunately Thor had promised Coulson that he would fight alongside them.
But after such a long time, Thor still didn't show up, which made Jane Foster very worried, fearing that something had happened to him.
Thor has been using Heimdall to know the situation on Earth, and he knows what Jane is thinking, but he is also helpless. The turmoil on the Rainbow Bridge has not yet completely subsided, and forced use will only cause a greater energy imbalance.
So he could only endure it and wait until the Rainbow Bridge was usable before going to Earth to find Jane.
. . . . . .
"Why did you call us here today, other than telling us that Captain America is alive and well and that Rhodes has officially joined the Avengers?"
After watching the Screen, Tony was a little impatient to go back home and continue building his own armor.
"Of course, do you still remember the information I showed you before?" asked the Nick Fury, looking at him.
"What? Which information?" Tony frowned, and for a moment he couldn't remember what Nick Fury was talking about.
"Cosmic Cube!" he reminded.
Tony finally remembered that he had indeed seen it, but at that time he had not had the energy to pay attention to it.
"I would like to invite you to study it with Dr. Banner. Dr. Erik Selvig will also join in. I think this may be an important chance for us to win the war."
Most of the people present were his own people, and Nick Fury did not hide anything and directly revealed to everyone the fact that they were researching the Tesseract.
"We have been researching it for decades, but there has been no progress until Dr. Erik Selvig came and finally made some new breakthroughs."
Tony and Dr. Banner looked at each other. Tony admitted that he was indeed very interested in the Cosmic Cube, but Banner still had not found a way to coexist peacefully with the Hulk, so the two of them nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Rhodes, however, was a little confused. He wanted to know what the Cosmic Cube was, so Tony explained it to him briefly.
"We named this plan Project Pegasus." The name comes from Project Pegasus, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s previous research plan on the Cosmic Cube.
"Regarding Strange, we once wanted to find him, but were stopped."
"By who?" Tony frowned.
"Ancient One, she is indeed very powerful. SHIELD's defense is useless in front of her. She appeared directly in front of us, and we didn't even know when she came."
Hill recalled the situation when she faced Ancient One. It was the first time she felt she had no ability to resist.
"She didn't say anything much, just warned us not to interfere in Strange's affairs, and then left." Nick Fury also felt a little powerless.
"Wo what now? You did not contact Strange" Tony asked, twirling the pen on his fingertips and supporting his head.
"Indeed, we didn't. We just sent people to follow him and arranged some personnel around Christine. We didn't do anything else."
Nick Fury rubbed his brows. Ancient One had made it so clear, so he naturally would not offend her. On the contrary, he also stopped many people with bad intentions for Strange.
Ancient One saw everything, but she didn't care about it. She just kept wondering these days whether she should continue waiting for Strange to have his accident?
She couldn't guess The Screen's thoughts, and she had no idea whether future events would change because of The Screen.
This was the first time that The Ancient One encountered such a situation in all these years, and she suddenly didn't know whether she should respond or not.
Since The Screen revealed his future, Strange's life has been completely changed, although SHIELD has blocked most of the malicious intent for him.
But he is a doctor after all, and he needs to cure diseases and save lives. He always has to go on the operating table and face people's curious eyes. In the past, everyone thought he was just a surgeon with superb medical skills.
But now everyone knows that he is the future Supreme Sorcerer, which has led to countless patients wanting only him to treat them..
Even if the hospital stepped in, it couldn't stop this situation. After a short period of time, Strange felt exhausted.
At this moment, he really hoped that he could become a sorcerer as soon as possible and find a quiet place to hide from these people.
Of course, Ancient One also knew Strange's predicament. After hesitating for a moment, she finally make a portal and appeared in front of Strange.
"Strange, are you willing to be my disciple?" Ancient One asked calmly, looking at Strange who was stunned by her sudden appearance.
After being stunned for a while, he finally came to his senses and nodded immediately, but then he hesitated a little because he couldn't let go of Christine after all.
The Ancient One knew what he was thinking. Since she had made her decision, she had already figured out what to do.
