After breakfast, Susan dragged Wanda out shopping again.
Wanda and Pietro were effectively kicked out of Hydra with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They had little money and no possessions.
Wanda needed to buy some personal items and clothes since she was staying.
As for Lin Feng, he took Pietro directly to the Helicarrier.
He needed to get Pietro settled quickly. Like poles repel!
On the Helicarrier deck, Nick Fury, with his usual grim expression, received the two of them.
"This is the superhero you mentioned?" the bald eagle squinted at Pietro.
Dressed in simple tights and sneakers, he looked like an ordinary person in a crowd, with nothing special about him.
However, it wasn't entirely accurate to say that. Fury already knew that Wanda and Pietro were the only two survivors of Hydra's inhuman experiments.
But he couldn't understand why Lin Feng said Pietro had superhero capabilities. Hydra's database showed that neither of them possessed any outstanding abilities.
Lin Feng chuckled. Fury's data was clearly outdated; his villa wasn't something Fury could monitor at will.
Fury wouldn't have expected that Lin Feng could further enhance the twins' superpowers!
Pointing to a small black dot in the distance, Lin Feng patted Pietro's shoulder.
"Young man! Show your future boss what you've got."
Pietro nodded and vanished from their sight in a flash.
He knew he had to prove his worth. The more outstanding his abilities, the more attention he would receive.
Before Fury could even react, Pietro reappeared with a whoosh, carrying someone over his shoulder.
It was a bewildered Agent Coulson.
One moment, Coulson was holding documents and syncing data, and the next, his vision went black. He was inexplicably carried to his director.
"Director?" The high-speed movement made Coulson's head spin.
Fury ignored him but his gaze towards Pietro was now filled with interest.
"How did you do that?" Fury asked. He had only felt a gust of wind as the young man disappeared and reappeared less than a second later, bringing Coulson to him.
"Super speed!" Lin Feng replied. "Speed beyond the naked eye."
"Of course, he's not at his fastest yet. After some training, his speed will be even greater. What do you say?"
Fury gave a thumbs-up. "Good, very good."
"I'll take this one! Thank you, Mr. Superman!"
"But... do you really have no ulterior motives?" Fury changed the subject, unable to resist asking Lin Feng again.
It was mainly because of Pietro's demonstrated abilities. Why would Lin Feng give him such a superhero for free? He suspected Lin Feng had other plans.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes. Nick Fury had already asked him three times.
"Do you think everyone is as dark and twisted as you!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Fury chuckled, unoffended.
Pietro's displayed abilities would be of great help to S.H.I.E.L.D. Who wouldn't want such an ability?
But Fury suspected Lin Feng had other intentions and had to be cautious.
However, Fury wasn't overly worried.
A specialized team within S.H.I.E.L.D. had already established a personal profile for Lin Feng.
The final evaluation was: although somewhat lazy, he had correct values, a sunny disposition, a sense of justice, and the ability to stay true to himself.
Indeed, if he couldn't stay true to himself, Lin Feng would have long ago become a tyrannical ancestor.
After all, if an ordinary person gained superpowers, their inner darkness and desires would magnify without limit.
Fury was very satisfied with Pietro's initial display of abilities. After confirming multiple times that Lin Feng had no ulterior motives, he had Coulson take Pietro away for personal data testing.
"He should have a sister, shouldn't he?" Fury casually brought up after arranging Pietro.
"Does his sister have any special abilities?"
As soon as Fury spoke, Lin Feng knew he wasn't up to any good. One Pietro wasn't enough, and he wanted Wanda too?
"Don't even think about Wanda. I'll train that young girl myself."
Lin Feng's refusal made Fury raise an eyebrow, muttering to himself.
Could Wanda's abilities be even stronger than Pietro's?
Thinking for a moment, Fury put on a mocking expression and sowed discord.
"If you're training that young girl, will Susan agree?"
"Why don't you hand her over to me? I'll help you train her."
"Hahaha, crawl..."
Lin Feng flatly refused. Wanting his Wanda? Dream on!
There was nothing more to say to this bald eagle. After arranging for Pietro, Lin Feng simply packed up and left.
It's worth mentioning that Fury had originally wanted to invite Lin Feng to tour his Helicarrier, but Lin Feng refused without a second thought.
He had no interest in the Helicarrier. What if, during the tour, Fury tried some trick to get him to join the Avengers?
As he always said, Lin Feng didn't like being controlled. Joining the Avengers? That would happen in the next life!
Lin Feng's refusal was within Fury's expectations. He had realized long ago that this kid was impossible to sway.
Shaking his head, Fury walked towards his office, quietly awaiting Coulson's test report.
Pietro quickly completed his initial ability model. Next were the tests for his values and personality screening.
Soon, his data was placed before Fury.
Abilities, mindset, experiences, family background, and so on.
Looking at the lines of data, Fury continuously nodded.
To join the Avengers, a good mindset and a sense of responsibility were essential.
If these two aspects were not up to par, he could only be a regular agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. at best.
Fortunately, the data showed that Pietro had excellent potential for development.
After some thought, Fury summoned Steve, who was doing physical training.
Pietro's disposition was not bad, his abilities were outstanding, and the test data clearly indicated he was another superhero-level Avenger.
He was also young. Fury planned for Steve to personally mentor him and instill positive values in Pietro.
As for Pietro's listed relative, Wanda, it was a shame he couldn't recruit her...
Fury felt a pang of regret. Meanwhile, Lin Feng flew to Tony Stark's new villa.
While the Malibu villa was destroyed, Tony was who he was, a rich magnate! He didn't just own one villa!
After the events of Iron Man 3, Tony had moved to another villa. As for the Malibu one, Tony likely wouldn't return.
After all, its location had been exposed to the entire world.
Tony wasn't afraid of attacks, but he couldn't stand people showing up every other day; it was truly frustrating.
"Sir, Mr. Lin Feng has arrived."
Jarvis's voice sounded in the workshop.
Tony looked up, his eyes narrowed. He was still researching the Mark 85.
"Let him in. How's the reverse-engineering progress?"
"Approaching 20%, sir."
Jarvis's words made Tony frown. The progress was slower than he had expected.
Although he had existing technology to reverse-engineer, some of it was still theoretical in the current era.
If the technology couldn't be fully analyzed, the resulting product would be significantly inferior.
"Hey, Tony, is the suit working well!" Lin Feng walked in with a smile.
Tony praised without hesitation, "It's great, of course it's great!"
"This suit incorporates almost all my ideas and inspirations; it's perfect!"
"I'm the best! Only I could build such a perfect suit!"
Tony said, marveling.
Even now, Tony Stark's technology was ahead of the rest of the world. The Mark 85 brought by Lin Feng was from his future self, ten years from now. The technological value contained within it was staggering.
"Alright, alright, I'm not here to listen to you brag about yourself. How's the research progressing?"
They had spoken on the phone a few days ago. Tony wanted to research the technology and couldn't return the suit for the time being.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, said it was fine. The purpose of bringing it back was for Tony to develop and replicate it as quickly as possible. If he could create even more advanced Mark models, that would be even better.
"About 20%. It's mainly because of the limited time. Some technologies require extensive deduction and testing," Tony explained.
Lin Feng nodded. The suit had only been in Tony's hands for a few days. No matter how capable Tony was, he couldn't replicate this thing in a few days.
After all, the Mark 85 didn't just lead the world by a few years; it led Tony by a few years.
"Replicate it as soon as possible. And then send a set for me and Susan!"
Although this thing wasn't of much use to Lin Feng, he couldn't deny that it looked cool when worn!
Hearing this, Tony nodded. This was not a problem at all.
The Mark 85 was brought back by Lin Feng from the future, so giving him two sets was not an issue.
Perhaps for others, obtaining an Iron Man suit was a wild fantasy, and even Tony's close friend Rhodey only received a modified Mark II suit.
But Lin Feng was different.
