Facts have once again proved that if you can't find a suitable topic, finding a person who can be hacked together can alleviate the embarrassment and make the two strangers quickly get acquainted.
Ethan believes there must be someone from S.H.I.E.L.D. nearby staring at him, but I don’t know if they have the means to collect the content of their conversation with Steve Rogers. Presumably, it shouldn't be difficult to use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ability.
"How did you interact with SHIELD?"
Although it didn't take long for Steve Rogers to wake up, he already knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. is not an organization that everyone knows about. Ethan is not a member of SHIELD, so there must be something special about him, otherwise it is impossible to know SHIELD or even Nick Fury.
"Fry wanted to invite me to join one of his plans, but my situation is rather special, so I didn't agree."
Steve nodded, and did not continue to ask for more details. After all, he and Ethan had just met, and many topics were not suitable for discussing too deeply, and reckless openings would likely arouse the other's disgust.
After chatting casually for a while, Steve was about to leave. Ethan did not hold back, but waved goodbye to the Captain America.
"I hope I have another chance to see it next time."
"There will be a chance."
Maybe Ethan’s impression of Steve was okay. Steve didn’t continue to maintain the frowning face of Steve, but smiled and said goodbye to Ethan.
Considering the relationship between himself and Tony Stark, under the premise that he often runs into this world, they will definitely meet frequently in the future.
Soon after Steve left, a guy who looked like an agent in a suit walked up to him without any cover, and then handed him a phone call.
"When will we be back, we can find time together for a cup of coffee."
Coleson’s voice came from the earpiece. For this agent with a very good personality, Ethan has a good impression like many others, and the warm greetings from the earpiece gave him a feeling of being cared by friends. a feeling of.
After greeted Coleson enthusiastically, Ethan still said unceremoniously: "Give the phone to Ferry, I know he is right next to you."
"Hello, Master."
"Don't be so formal, just call me Ethan."
"Well, Ethan, how long are you going to stay this time?"
At first, Ethan used his inability to stay in the same world for too long and was unable to determine when he could come here again as a reason, so he turned down Fury's invitation. I just didn't expect to come here again so soon, and more importantly, it seems that this world hasn't passed for a long time.
It feels like Ethan has just found a reason to deal with Fury. Although this is true, it is somewhat embarrassing.
"A few months, there are some things that need Tony's help."
"Oh? What kind of thing is it?"
"I believe you will soon... No, you should have received enough news."
When Tony and Ethan were studying magic stone technology and designing battleships, they had already started to purchase some materials appropriately, and were doing initial preparations for the next manufacturing.
It's impossible to hide this kind of thing from SHIELD. At first, Fury might think it was Tony who was tinkering with something, but when Ethan appeared, he knew that the matter must have something to do with this mysterious alien wizard.
Especially this time Tony acquired a lot of materials, and there are many more sensitive things. This makes Fury, the king of agents very uneasy, so I directly asked Coleson to contact Ethan for some trials. What I didn’t expect was The other party directly broke through those hypocritical routines and had a direct conversation with himself.
Looking at this, Fury felt that the other party did not hide anything, maybe he could directly ask about the specific purpose of coming to this world this time?
"I hope I can talk with you in person."
"Of course." Ethan did not refuse. If he wanted to successfully build the warship, he would inevitably have some contact with S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony Stark does have a lot of power, but the warship is too sensitive. If S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau helps to manage it, it will definitely save a lot of trouble.
But even so, Ethan would not put himself in a lower position. It's okay for Fury to have an interview with himself, but he won't rush to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to talk to Fury: "You know where to find me."
Now it is Fury who wants to talk to Ethan, and of course it is him who comes to him. After saying this, Ethan hung up the phone directly, put it on the table, and continued to enjoy his lemon tea and pastries.
The agent in a black suit did not speak, and finally did not take the phone away, and left directly after receiving the order.
Just as Ethan finished eating the cake and was basking in the sun to enjoy a leisurely and quiet afternoon, Diana and Pepper suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What are you doing here?"
"Isn't this obvious? Sunbathe." Ethan looked at it. The two women didn't bring bodyguards and drivers, and they didn't know where they came from. They still had a few shopping bags in their hands: "I bought them. what?"
"Some cosmetics."
Diana's answer made Ethan lost interest, and the hand that had just been lifted was put back directly, and then he picked up the cup and continued to drink his lemon tea, even if there were only some semi-melted ice cubes left in the cup.
Maybe they are tired from walking, and the two women also want to rest here. Pepper is not worried about what needs to be done. Although she has become the president of Stark Group, she also has vacations. Recently, she was on vacation.
Originally, she was going to spend a romantic two-person world with Tony, but unfortunately Tony was busy tinkering with the new energy of the Stark Tower before, and then because of Ethan’s arrival, she researched new things, so she had to treat this vacation as a real one. Take a vacation to relax and enjoy life.
"By the way, Ethan, I told Pepper before that I wanted to invite her and Tony to go to Paradise Island as a guest..."
The subtext of course is to ask Ethan if he can help bring them there? Paradise Island is located in a different world, and the only way of communication at present is Ethan's Shuttle Magic Circle.
This is not a troublesome thing for Ethan, because he has locked in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Cinematic Universe, these two worlds are currently the only worlds that can freely shuttle, and it is not necessary to bring one or two people to the door. No matter what, as long as the energy is sufficient, it is even more convenient than going from the Stark Mansion in New York to the Stark Mansion in Malibu.
"This is not a troublesome thing, just find a suitable time."
Pepper, of course, heard that Ethan agreed. She was particularly curious when she heard about Paradise Island before, and she was also very interested in another universe. Especially after learning that the so-called Paradise Island was created by the famous Zeus, she really wanted to see what this place was like.
She has been surprised by the fact that Diana is a demigod, but compared to the first time I saw Ethan use magic, knowing that Ethan can travel freely across multiple universe planes, she also learned about Norse mythology from Tony. Thor's appeared in New Mexico, and another demigod appeared in comparison.
"Paradise Island is a very suitable place for vacation. For you and Tony, you will not be disturbed there...what the Stark Group's work...the burden of world peace...etc. It won't affect you."
Of course, it won't affect it, because it was in another world. Unless Ethan specifically left interplanetary communication technology, no one would be able to find Tony and Pepper who went to another world.
If Essenti had any beautiful scenery, maybe Pepper would not care too much. It was so tempting to not be disturbed by any trivial matters. The most annoying thing for her during these days was that every time she was dating Tony, she was always disturbed by all kinds of messy things, and finally had to end the date early. It's okay once or twice, and of course she feels dissatisfied every time is indeed a good place. "
When she started planning the next vacation, she encouraged Tony to go to Diana's hometown as a guest, where they could live the two-person world without interruption.
After finishing their ordered drinks, the few people who had had enough rest returned to the Stark Mansion. Tony did not seem to be affected by Ethan’s previous proposal. He behaved normally, and even sprinkled dog food with Pepper. , Constantly stimulating these people next to him.
But just when the two of them were getting crooked, Tony's cell phone rang suddenly.
Ethan did not react at first. When he saw Tony's "skilled" flicking of Coleson on the opposite side of the phone, when Coleson walked straight out of the elevator, he suddenly realized that this was the Avengers story. The plot at the beginning.
"Huh? Have you caught up with this story?"
Although I met Captain America in the coffee shop below the building today, and knew that the Avengers’ plot was about to unfold, I didn’t expect it to be so fast. Coleson, who smiled and greeted each other on the phone during the day, didn’t look so bad at this time. It looks good, after stressing the urgency of the matter with Tony, he came to Ethan with a serious face.
"We need your help, Master."
Coleson uses a very formal address, even if he doesn't know what happened, he can realize that things must be tricky, otherwise he would not have this expression.
Ethan knew why he was like this, because Rocky had robbed the magic of the universe and also controlled his colleague Clint Button. That's why he is this expression.
But he couldn't assume that he knew everything, so he had to carefully control his expression:
"I need to know the specific situation."
