Chapter 291: Nick Fury's Troubles (First Update)
Chapter 291: Nick Fury's Troubles (First Update)
"Sorry, I just forgot!"
Suddenly, Jerry's voice rang out behind Colonel Rhodes and Tony, making both of them jump.
"No, no, it's fine. I was just saying, in that situation, we definitely had to prioritize dealing with the enemy first!"
Colonel Rhodes quickly waved his hands to show that it was no big deal.
He had forgotten that the Witch could use the Teleportation Spell. Just a moment ago, they were high in the air, and in an instant, Jerry had teleported right behind them.
But, why did Jerry always teleport behind them? Why not in front? It was quite scary, especially when the Witch saved him by suddenly grabbing his shoulder from behind.
If Jerry had used the Mind Reading Spell on Rhodey at that moment, he would have heard Rhodey's inner complaint and probably laughed, saying it was just because it was fun.
It was like how some people enjoy hiding behind doors or around corners to jump out and scare others. Jerry enjoyed teleporting behind people and watching their startled reactions.
"It's fine. When we get back, I'll make you another one!"
Tony spoke up, trying to reassure him.
The base of the War Machine suit was originally designed and built by him. Once they returned, he could replicate it, and then Rhodey could take it to the military scientists for further modifications and weapon upgrades to create a new War Machine.
"No need for that trouble!"
Jerry smiled and waved his hand toward the wreckage of the cruise ship in the sea, chanting:
"War Machine, fly here!"
Five seconds later, a battered and barely recognizable hunk of metal flew out of the sea and landed in front of the three of them.
"Restore!"
Jerry cast another spell, and the ruined War Machine quickly transformed back into a pristine suit.
"Lightning Summoning!"
A bolt of lightning struck the newly restored War Machine, instantly recharging its power.
"Done!"
Jerry turned to indicate that Colonel Rhodes could now suit up.
At this point, Colonel Rhodes was completely stunned by Jerry's seamless magical operations.
Although he had seen it once on the cruise ship, this series of incredible spells still left him in awe.
Even the world's greatest repair expert would have to admit defeat after seeing the Witch's performance!
"Thank you, thank you!"
Rhodey's voice was a bit shaky.
Tony, on the other hand, was no longer surprised. His own Iron Man suit had been repaired by Jerry several times.
"It seems the police and military are on their way. The cleanup is up to you two. I have some business to attend to!"
Hearing the distant sirens and seeing the approaching naval ships and fighter jets, Jerry vanished with a Phantom Shift, leaving no trace.
The scene now shifts back to Washington, half an hour earlier.
After his call with the President, the Vice President immediately mobilized the nearby sea, land, and air forces and police in Florida to surround Killian's hideout.
He also quickly headed to the White House to meet with the President, who had just returned from Sky One.
The Vice President had personally witnessed the power of the Extremis Warriors, and if there was no hope of success, he would not have agreed to the mission.
He was concerned that just the Witch and Iron Man might not be enough to eliminate Killian and his Extremis Warriors, so he sent the military as backup.
However, when reporting to the President, he attributed all the intelligence to the Witch and Iron Man.
This way, if anything went wrong and any surviving Extremis Warriors revealed the truth, he could easily deny it.
If he were truly in cahoots with Killian, he wouldn't have warned the President to stay off Sky One the moment Witch shared the intel, and he wouldn't have mobilized the army to help.
Moreover, to rise to the position of Vice President, he must have considerable power and influence in the political arena, making him hard to topple.
"Have the troops arrived?"
Inside the White House, the President and Vice President, heavily guarded, were on a video call with the general leading the mission.
On the other end of the video, the general reported:
"Currently, the Navy and Air Force are three kilometers away from the target, and the Army is five kilometers away, about to reach the destination."
"Good. Once you arrive, remember to coordinate with Iron Man, Witch, and the War Machine to eliminate those terrorists completely!"
The President nodded.
The ongoing live terrorist attack had been giving him a massive headache.
At that moment, a soldier's urgent report came through the video:
"Report, sir, a powerful tornado has appeared at the destination, preventing our fleet from advancing!"
"Tornado? Are you kidding me?"
The general looked incredulous.
"Sir, five fighter jets also couldn't approach due to the tornado, but they've sent us the footage they captured."
Immediately, the President, Vice President, and the general watched the live video of Jerry spreading angelic wings in the sky, summoning a tornado to crush the cruise ship and all the Extremis Warriors.
At that moment, the Vice President finally understood why Witch had been so certain when leaving.
It turned out that Killian and his Extremis Warriors were nothing in Witch's eyes.
Meanwhile, at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, the Triple Helix Tower in Washington.
"Barton, can you confirm that this is the true appearance of the Witch you saw in New Mexico?"
Nick Fury placed a photo of Jerry in front of Hawkeye Barton, who had just completed his memory recovery training.
Hawkeye Barton looked at the photo of Jerry and nodded affirmatively, recounting the same experience he had previously reported to Coulson.
Coulson, standing nearby, asked Fury:
"Director, now that we've confirmed Witch's identity, what do you plan to do?"
Nick Fury fell silent upon hearing this.
He didn't know how to answer the question.
Among all the Avengers, the one he found most difficult to control was Witch.
Hawkeye and Black Widow were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and followed his orders completely.
Captain America, because of Carter, the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., had moved to Washington and now accepted his orders to complete missions.
Tony's Iron Man suit was powerful, but without it, he was just an ordinary person.
Hulk was uncontrollable, but Dr. Banner, who was working with S.H.I.E.L.D. to find a cure, was controllable and could be brought back to normal by Black Widow after transforming.
Thor, whose true identity was known, had an Earth girlfriend and a somewhat simple mind, making him easy to handle.
Only Witch was powerful and had always been wary of S.H.I.E.L.D., keeping his true identity secret, making it impossible for them to influence or control him.
Now that they had unexpectedly cracked Witch's Magic and knew his true identity, how could they add a layer of insurance to him without him noticing?
