"Hill, I'll leave her in your care for now. Don't let me down."
At S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York headquarters, Peter gave Hill a solemn reminder.
Opposite him, Hill also seriously expressed that she would definitely complete the mission.
With Skye... oh, she should be called Daisy now.
After instructing Daisy to call him immediately if she felt wronged, Peter originally intended to leave S.H.I.E.L.D. and head to Felicia's home to deliver the last dose of lizard serum, aside from the four for Uncle Ben and the others.
But just as he walked out of the Director's office, he received a call from Phil Coulson:
"Director, our Agents stationed in Africa just sent back a piece of secret intelligence... saying that an illegal transaction is taking place in the Somalia region. The cargo being traded is a special metal that has not yet been discovered.
It's said that to escort this batch of special metal, the buyer has deployed mercenary forces comparable to the naval fleet of some small countries."
"Oh?" Hearing about the special metal, Peter, who was originally going to let Phil handle it himself, instantly became energized.
In the Marvel Universe, there are only two types of "undiscovered" special metals—Vibranium and Adamantium.
The latter, in this Universe Peter is in, seems to exist only in the Captain's shield; it was created by Howard Stark, rather than Myron MacLain, the creator of Adamantium in the comics.
Because the inventors are different, naturally no new Adamantium was born afterward.
Therefore, Peter estimated that this batch of special metal should be Vibranium!
If it really is Vibranium, then it would be well worth a trip.
Uh... actually, even if it isn't, it doesn't really matter. Anyway, Somalia isn't very far from Wakanda.
He could simply stop by Wakanda on the way and demand a batch of Vibranium from them.
To others, Wakanda, hidden by a special energy field, is an unobservable existence.
But in Peter's Byakugan eyes, looking across all of Africa, there is no country more conspicuous than Wakanda... Thinking that this operation could yield a large amount of Vibranium to use as material for Iron Man Suits and to build a Vibranium safe room for Uncle Ben and Aunt May.
Along the way, he might even be able to snag a heart-shaped herb for sacrifice... Peter was instantly invigorated:
"Good, I understand. I will handle this matter personally."
As he spoke, Peter snapped his fingers. The wheel of destiny immediately possessed the flying skateboard and flew over, hovering steadily in front of Peter.
Stepping onto the flying skateboard, Peter soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
What Peter didn't know was that after he left, a certain Agent within S.H.I.E.L.D. satisfiedly retracted his binoculars and quietly sent a message on his phone:
"Everything is going smoothly. The monster has left New York!"
At the HYDRA headquarters in Washington, Alexander Pierce couldn't help but reveal a standard Nike-swoosh grin after seeing the message.
Excellent. Next, he just had to wait for Crossbones to bring that little nightingale back!
...Manhattan, Felicia's home.
Although both Bucky and Crossbones had realized that the development of things had already exceeded expectations.
But things having come to this, they seemed only able to grit their teeth and follow this path to the end.
With that thought, Crossbones quietly pressed the miniature remote control at his waist.
Affected by the miniature remote control, Bucky's eyes instantly became incredibly hollow.
Like a robot receiving instructions, he didn't even think as he swung his metal arm, throwing a punch toward Felicia's face.
Crossbones was originally worried that Bucky's fist was too heavy and might kill Felicia outright.
But the next second, he almost stared his eyes out of their sockets.
Before Bucky's iron fist could touch Felicia, an arm wrapped in an aqua-blue Symbiote suit steadily caught Bucky's fist.
Followed by... *creak, creak*~
Under Crossbones' gaze, which looked as if he'd seen a ghost, tide, as if squeezing crispy noodles, crushed Bucky's metal arm into a twist in a matter of seconds!
One must know that although the Winter Soldier's arm was not made of Vibranium, it was an ultra-high hardness alloy created with the painstaking efforts of Dr. Zola and others!
In HYDRA's internal tests, this electronic mechanical arm could punch through a half-meter-thick concrete wall in a short time without any damage.
Even blocking a sniper Bullet from a Barrett head-on would only leave a shallow white mark.
But such a mechanical arm was actually easily twisted into scrap by this young girl wearing strange clothes?
Incorrect! This person is a ghost!
Crossbones roared this in his heart, and then, without a second thought, he chose to abandon the Winter Soldier and turn to flee.
"Hmph~ trying to run?"
tide snorted coldly. Without waiting for Felicia to react, she manipulated a stream of water to fly toward Crossbones like a sharp arrow.
Poor Crossbones was clearly a combat master with decent fighting strength.
But facing this almost rogue-like magic power, he had no way to fight back.
The dagger in his hand was swung so hard that sparks flew, but he could not cut through that sharp arrow composed of flowing water no matter what.
The sharp arrow hit his body and instantly condensed into a water sphere, wrapping his entire large head inside.
No matter how Crossbones struggled, he couldn't get this bizarre water sphere off his head.
He could only try to hold his breath and attempt to escape Felicia's casting range.
In the process of escaping, he didn't forget to frantically complain in his heart:
Such a monster, in your mouths, is actually an "ordinary person who can only manipulate weak water currents"?
Dr. Zola, you are a piece of trash!
Don't let me get back to New Jersey alive! Otherwise, I must smash your database to pieces!
Thinking this, Crossbones was already getting further and further away from Felicia's home.
Just as he thought he could really escape to safety.
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud noise, the Winter Soldier, whose mechanical arm had been torn off alive, was thrown out by Felicia.
Bucky's body smashed through the wall and accurately hit Crossbones, who had a water sphere on his head.
Hit by this, Crossbones felt like his spine was about to be broken.
He instinctively wanted to curse, but as a result, he had just let out a "fu~" when he choked on a mouthful of water.
And then... *glug, glug, glug*~
This time, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to... Just as Crossbones was about to lose consciousness, Felicia, carrying the mechanical arm that had been twisted into a twist, jumped directly down from the second floor and landed steadily in front of Crossbones and the Winter Soldier.
"Wow~ You're much more capable than I imagined!" Felicia, experiencing the joy of super strength for the first time, couldn't help but remark like this.
"That goes without saying~" tide whistled with a bit of pride, and then looked down at the Winter Soldier and Crossbones, speaking with some eagerness:
"Come on, let me see your true faces."
As she spoke, she pulled off the masks of both of them with one hand each:
"Emmm, one ugly guy and... this one is actually quite handsome."
"Give it a rest~ He's not even fit to carry Peter's shoes!" Felicia retorted without thinking.
Crossbones/Winter Soldier:???
Slander! She's slandering me!
Clearly, back in the day, we were also famous handsome young men in our hometowns!
