American comics: Old Wolverine, do whatever he wants

Chapter 12 Fury’s plan, new leader Logan

SHIELD headquarters building, in the director's office.

"Steve, why do you transfer the task force without authorization?!"

Hill sat opposite Steve, staring straight at him with solemn eyes.

She only got the news this morning. In the early hours of the morning, Steve suddenly requested an emergency order and transferred the task force responsible for guarding all mutants.

And it was for this reason that all the mutant team of more than 200 people fled.

This made her extremely angry. After all, once those mutants escaped, it would be extremely difficult to capture them again!

Steve looked up at Hill, who was full of anger, and Nick Fury, who had been sullen and silent in the main seat on the other side.

The atmosphere in the conference room with only three people was extremely cold. Hill's anger was clearly written on his face, full of anger at Steve's behavior that exceeded his authority.

Steve had already anticipated this situation. After all, SHIELD's intention was very clear, which was to arrest all mutants and bring them to justice. Those with criminal records should be tried, and those without criminal records should be controlled.

His act of letting the mutants go without permission undoubtedly touched the backbone of those who adhered to SHIELD's rules like Hill, and a quarrel was inevitable.

"They are not prisoners."

Steve took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Everything they did before was just forced. Strictly speaking, many of them can only be regarded as self-defense."

Since learning about the dispute between mutants and the government, Steve has also understood why Logan and others became so violent.

After all, many government organizations, such as pickets, etc., are rushing to solve the situation of mutants being exterminated. This situation will trigger serious confrontation among any ethnic group.

Under such a situation, the mutants can still only guard their own territory and not take the initiative to cause trouble. It can be said that they are very restrained.

However, Hill disagreed with Steve.

"They are criminals!"

Hill stared at Steve with both eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Logan and Charles' heads are still hanging on the wanted posters. One of them killed many of our task forces, and the other on West Street. A tragedy occurred that shocked the whole country, and we have the right to arrest any of them!"

She doesn't care whether the actions of Logan and others are self-defense, she only cares about the law.

According to the law, Logan, Charles, Victor and others are out-and-out criminals!

Hill was extremely dissatisfied with Steve's behavior. In her eyes, Steve's behavior could also be regarded as shielding criminals and violated the law!

However, Steve shook his head and said: "Nowadays, the conflict between us and mutants is very fierce. Forcibly arresting them will only intensify the conflict!"

He didn't want to see mutants treated differently, especially after knowing that mutants had sacrificed so much for this country and the world, and he didn't want these former heroes to be treated so unfairly.

After a pause, Steve added: "Besides, my actions are also to protect the task force!"

As soon as these words came out, Hill was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Steve took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I don't need to say more about Logan's strength. Rumlow led so many people to arrest him before. What was the result? The entire army was wiped out. What he faced at that time was It’s just Logan. Now they have Victor and other powerful mutants there. Do you really think the task force is really capable of catching them all?”

He stared at Hill and said in a deep voice: "If we really want to start a fight, there will only be one ending. The task force will suffer heavy losses, and the mutants will still be able to fully escape, and the slightly eased relationship between us and the mutants will also be completely resolved." rupture!"

Steve was very aware of Logan's strength, and he could vaguely feel that he had no chance of winning if they really fought.

And he doesn't want his relationship with Logan to become so rigid. Letting them go would be best for everyone!

"Captain, this matter is not just your decision. SHIELD does not need to have any easing of relations with a group of thugs!"

Hill is still unwilling to give up. Unless Logan and the others can be removed from the wanted order, she will never approve of Steve's actions!

"Enough!"

Just when the two sides wanted to continue arguing, Fury slammed the table and yelled.

After hearing Fury's words, the two stopped fighting, but it was obvious that neither one was convinced by the other.

Fury turned slightly and stared at Steve with his only remaining eye, "Steve, I am very disappointed in this incident. I understand your attitude towards mutants, but what Hill said is right. , you should not let them go, their grievances can be argued in court, you have no ability to judge their merits. "

After a pause, Fury added again: "There is also the matter of mobilizing the task force. I hope you can understand that you are the captain of the Avengers, but you are not an agent of SHIELD. Although our two organizations are closely related, But you have no right to transfer my subordinates, and I hope this will never happen again."

He looked at Steve, and although his tone was very serious, it was not aggressive.

For Steve, Captain America, he regarded him more as an old friend rather than a subordinate, but he also hoped that Steve would understand that his choice was wrong.

After saying that, he turned to look at Hill, took a deep breath and said, "What Steve said is right. Forcibly arresting Logan and others will only escalate the conflict. We are not like Hydra." There is no need to be so impulsive, and as Steve said, if there is a conflict, our agents deployed there do not have much chance of winning. "

Listening to Fury's words, Hill frowned and said, "What should we do now? Those mutants won't give in..."

However, before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Fury, "The problem of mutants is a problem left over from history. It is difficult to solve in a short time. Even if we catch them, it will be useless. There are other mutants scattered around the world." We can't catch them all. What's more important is to think about how to resolve conflicts and prevent such big conflicts from happening again. "

After speaking, he sighed and added: "Solving this matter does not happen overnight. They are not popular in the eyes of most people. The only way to solve this problem is to let them be treated fairly and be accepted by the public." Mutants can enable mutants to live a normal life and reduce many unnecessary conflicts. "

After the words fell, Fury frowned and fell into deep thought.

Steve and Hill were also lost in thought.

After a moment, Fury had an idea and said, "If you really want to solve this problem, I have a way..."

"What can I do?"

Steve suddenly became energetic and looked towards Fury quickly.

Fury was silent for a while, looked at Hill, then at Steve, and after confirming that there was no one outside the door, he whispered his plan in a low voice.

"My thoughts are this..."

Fury talked for several minutes, during which he also received repeated praises from Steve and Hill.

After finishing speaking, Steve nodded heavily, "This method works!"

Hill, on the other hand, frowned and hesitated before saying, "I think there are still some risks in cooperating with a group of thugs, but... if we can completely solve our fight against mutants, maybe we can make an exception."

Seeing that neither of them objected, Fury also nodded, and then looked at Steve, "Of course, the premise of all this is that Logan and the others are willing to cooperate. It's up to you, Captain, you find a way to contact Logan." Gen, inform us of our plan, and if they agree, everything will go much smoother.”

Steve nodded heavily, "I will find him as soon as possible. I also believe that Logan will be able to accept this plan. After all, he also hopes to change the relationship between mutants."

…

…

…

Canadian Plateau.

This is a vast grassland located in the plateau area, with no end as far as the eye can see. The breeze blows, and the green grass is flying on the lush grassland.

And in the middle of the grassland, there is an abandoned town.

There are many houses full of historical traces in the town. The brick joints in the streets are covered with grass because no one has taken care of them. The walls are also covered with various moss. They look abandoned for a long time, but there are various facilities. But it is still complete, and there is even a clear well in the middle of the town.

At this time, a lush bonfire was burning in the center of the town.

More than two hundred people gathered in the center of the bonfire. The warm flames dispelled the cold temperature. The blazing firelight hit everyone's faces, but these people did not feel any warmth from the warmth of the flames.

Everyone looked numb and kept their heads down in silence. The children stared blankly at the bonfire without speaking. Everyone's mood dropped to freezing point, and they couldn't even eat the prepared food. That's it. Sitting dully, the atmosphere was silent and cold, with only the sound of wood crackling in the flames.

"SHIELD and HYDRA won't find this place yet."

Logan sat cross-legged in the bonfire, looked sideways at Lorna and others beside him and said, "We can at least be peaceful here for a while."

"Hey, I found this, I should introduce it."

Victor Nunu, who was on the side, seemed to be complaining that Logan stole his lines.

Logan shrugged wordlessly, "You say."

Victor snorted, looked at the town, and said with emotion: "I heard about this when I was a mercenary. At that time, I heard that there was an abandoned town on the plateau somewhere in northern Canada."

"The reason for its abandonment is that this town is too remote. There are no roads, and you have to rely on animal-drawn vehicles to get in and out. The transportation is very inconvenient, and there is basically no connection with the outside world."

"It was fine in the past. People didn't have any big needs. It was enough to fill their stomachs. But after the industrial revolution, electric lights and roads were developed in the outside world, and life improved. After people here saw the development outside, they They were moved out one after another, and eventually they were abandoned.”

Victor kept talking about how he discovered this town. At that time, he only heard about it and did not come to check it out in person. But now they need a place to live, so he thought of this.

The good news is that this place was only abandoned and not completely destroyed. The houses are still in good condition and it is indeed a good habitat.

"Everything here is complete. As long as it is properly cleaned, it can accommodate all of us. Victor, you have made a great contribution this time."

Charles looked around and smiled with great satisfaction.

The environment here is beautiful. Although it is a plateau, the altitude is not too high. At least there will be no severe altitude sickness. Even he, an old man in his nineties, is hardly affected.

More importantly, the facilities here are very comprehensive, the blue brick floor is well preserved, and there are roads as long as the weeds are removed. The house facilities are also complete. Except for being a little old, there is almost nothing wrong with it.

Hearing Charles's praise, Victor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and snorted.

At this time, footsteps came from behind Logan. Moira came over, patted Logan on the shoulder, and whispered: "Logan, I want to talk to you."

Logan nodded and made way for Moira to sit down.

"Everyone is in a low mood now, and someone needs to stand up to gather people's hearts."

She sat next to Logan and looked at everyone, and her meaning was very clear.

Hearing this, Logan looked at the people near the campfire, thought for a while, and nodded.

She knew very well that so many things had happened, whether it was for the people in the previous Maca Shelter or for the people in Moira's Shelter, it was a big blow.

The people in Maca Shelter were disappointed with Maca's betrayal, and even some of their faith collapsed.

The people in Moira's shelter had been destroyed and forced to flee, and they were more or less hit.

Most people's mentality was no longer as optimistic as before.

"Logan."

At this time, Charles next to him suddenly looked over and patted the back of Logan's hand. His eyes were very obvious, indicating him to stand up.

Looking at Charles' eyes, Logan frowned and subconsciously turned to look at Moira.

He knew very well that after standing up, he would have to take on the role of leader.

It was okay for the people in Maca's shelter before. After all, he had some prestige among those people, and he was more influential and organized than Lorna, John and others. After Maca's betrayal was resolved, it was understandable that he would be ranked higher.

But at this time, in addition to Lorna and others, there were many people in Moira's shelter.

To be the leader, perhaps he should first ask Moira's attitude.

Moira smiled and nodded when she saw this.

After so many things happened, she had already seen clearly that Logan was obviously more suitable to be the leader than herself.

Seeing Moira's expression, Logan no longer hesitated, stood up, and strode to the campfire.

"Everyone, stop."

He looked at the people around the campfire with a serious expression, and pressed his hands down.

The silent people stopped what they were doing and looked up at him curiously.

Logan took a deep breath and said, "I understand the feelings of all of you. Macka's betrayal makes us sad. We all trusted him so much."

"Macka is indeed so outstanding and admirable. If you remove those hypocrisy and betrayal, he is undoubtedly a qualified leader. The unity of the shelter is inseparable from him. He brings everyone together."

"This is a fact that none of us can ignore."

Logan looked at everyone and affirmed Macka's achievements. After all, if there was no Macka, this shelter would not be able to gather so many people.

If he had no selfishness, he would indeed be an extremely admirable leader, but he gathered so many people just to betray!

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod, and the sadness in their hearts increased infinitely at this moment.

Lorna, John, Klaus and others lowered their heads silently, thinking of the past time in their minds. Sad emotions continued to spread, their hearts were mixed, and their expressions were empty.

Logan looked at the appearance of everyone, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Macka deceived all of us. He colluded with Hydra, but he said it was for mutants and for the shelter. In fact, he is a selfish person. This is also an undeniable fact, a fact that really happened."

As soon as these words came out, hatred instantly filled everyone's eyes.

Klaus pounded the ground with his fists, and his eyes were a little wet.

Macka's betrayal was like a sharp thorn that pierced their hearts fiercely. The feeling of being stabbed in the back by the most trusted person made everyone grit their teeth in their eyes.

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject, "But think about it."

"Are we going to give up our original intention and goal because of Macka?"

"We chose to stay and build the shelter. Why? For Macka, no, for ourselves, for this tribe, to make everything better. In fact, everything has nothing to do with Macka. He is indeed a leader who brought us all together, but he went the wrong way along the way."

"But we don't. Our original intention and goal are still there."

After the voice fell, everyone was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked straight at Macka, and suddenly realized it.

Yes, they gathered together not because of Macka, but because of the concept Macka said.

It was his idea of ​​wanting to revitalize mutants and create a harmonious and stable mutant society that touched them, so they followed Macka.

And this concept, even without Macka, they can still continue to work hard!

Before, they were all stuck in a dead end, thinking that they had the faith to work hard only with Maca. In fact, it was not the case. Their common goal was always there. It didn't matter whether Maca was there or not, as long as they stuck to this goal and worked hard for it!

"Logan is right, we don't need to be sad for a traitor!"

Lorna suddenly stood up and looked at everyone excitedly.

Everyone seemed to be inspired by Lorna's voice and stood up one after another.

"That's right, we are the ones who build a safe haven, not Maika. As long as we work hard, all goals will be achieved, and this goal is not something that only Maika can lead!"

Marcos pumped his fist and shouted, "We should cheer up!"

Everyone was completely awakened and stood up and shouted, "Yes, we should not be disappointed. The glory of mutants depends on us, not on any individual person, but on the efforts of all of us!"

For a time, the low mood dissipated, everyone continued to encourage each other in front of the bonfire, and the hope in their eyes was rekindled again.

"I think this place is better than the previous farm. We can continue our lives here and even make it better than before!" John said, looking at the town.

Everyone nodded.

Laura also stood up at this time, raised her cute head, and made a childish voice, "We can raise lambs here. There is so much grass outside and it grows so well. The lambs must be very happy to eat. I will definitely grow fat and strong!”

"Lola is right, this is a natural pasture, and we can be completely self-sufficient with livestock."

After listening to the girl's words, Logan couldn't help but raise his thumb, confirming what she said.

Laura nodded excitedly.

Lorna said: "However, if it develops here, I think the operating mechanism of the previous farm can be restored. Although Maika is a bad person, the mechanism he established is indeed very effective."

After a pause, she added: "And this mechanism can ensure that the shelter receives a certain amount of income and guarantees the shelter's expenses."

After hearing this, everyone nodded and enthusiastically joined the discussion.

Some suggested reclaiming acres of land for farming, while others suggested raising cattle and making handicrafts.

The quiet atmosphere became lively during the discussion.

Seeing this, Logan breathed a deep sigh of relief. At the same time, he also noticed the reminder on the panel in front of him.

[Prestige +10]

[Prestige +10]

[Prestige +10]

…

Looking at these growing prestige, he was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile, disappeared from the crowd, turned around and smoked in the distance.

Seeing this, Charles came up with a wheelchair, looked at Logan's appearance, and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be a speaker."

Looking at Charles's appearance, Logan shook his head with a wry smile, "I have said everything I can say in my life."

After saying that, he looked at the once again enthusiastic crowd, feeling full of satisfaction in his heart.

At least everyone is active again.
