American comics: Playing Spider-Man at the beginning, wandering around and losing contact

Chapter 98 Meeting at the White House
The space wormhole was closed successfully.

Half a month later.

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C.

A stretched Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the White House, and the guard on duty walked forward respectfully and opened the door.

The interior of the car is luxurious and exquisite. On the high-grade leather seat, a figure is wearing a baseball cap on his face and closing his eyes to rest.

It was not until the bulletproof door was opened and the bright morning sunshine shone in that he narrowed his eyes slightly and took off the baseball cap that was blocking the sun from his face.

The driver's door then opened, and Nick Fury, as the director of SHIELD, drove over personally this time. Stepping out of the car, Nick, wearing a loose casual black jacket, squinted his eyes at the dazzling sunlight reflected from the statue at the entrance of the White House.

Then he leaned over to the figure in the back seat and said:
"Little savior, we should go. There is less than an hour left until the time the President said on the phone to present you with the medal." Nick joked, pointing to the watch on his hand.

Kailus then stretched lazily with a feeling of unsatisfied desire. After the battle a week ago, he fell into a coma for ten days and nights. This body just woke up from its slumber in the early morning a few days ago.

At that time, he jumped up from the hospital bed in the military medical center, dumbfounded the doctors and nurses holding pacemakers beside him.

In their words, being able to recover on their own from a near-vegetative state and become full of life is simply a miracle of life.

However, only Kailus himself knew that it was the gamma cells that absorbed the life activity in the original cells in advance, which allowed him to survive in a life form with the lowest energy consumption. After ten days of recuperation, the cells in his body were renewed as before, and he came back to life.

As for what happened in the past half month, Kailus only gradually learned about it through various channels in the past two days.

The car's TV was playing the midday news.

"At present, the U.S. Marine Corps has successfully landed on Greenland, occupied several Hydra secret bases on the island, and captured hundreds of enemies. However, the leader of Hydra is still missing..."

"According to information provided by an unnamed person, the one who saved this alien crisis was a group of heroes who called themselves the Avengers. Legend has it that among them, there is a young man who has extraordinary strength despite his young age..."

……

Kailus walked up the clean and smooth steps in front of the White House, entered this most distinguished reception place in America, and came to the reception room. The magnificent and luxurious interior decoration came into view. The area originally used for reporters was empty at this time. Perhaps in order to respect the secret identity of the extraordinary person, no reporters were allowed in this time.

At this moment, there were already several familiar figures sitting on the sofa in the room, including the Avengers with Captain America as the core, and...

"Nono... Mr. Captain, this is not how you smoke a cigar..." Wolverine Logan leaned back comfortably, holding a high-quality cigar between his lips in a bold yet elegant manner, demonstrating the movements to Steve beside him.

This scene made everyone present laugh uncontrollably.

Seeing Kailus come in, everyone stopped smiling a little. Apparently, now that everyone was present, it was time to talk about business.

"Wow, isn't this our super star..." The guys from the Mutant Academy were much more wild-tempered than the Avengers, especially Remy, who simply walked up and put his arm around Kaelus' shoulders.

They did not participate in the battle because they had to protect the academy and prevent it from being invaded by foreign enemies during this chaotic period, but this does not mean that they are not paying attention to this battle.

Especially since Kailus was a mutant, they were naturally more concerned about him. And Kailus's performance did not disappoint them.

Logan, who was lighting a cigar with his eyes downcast, also raised his eyes, with a smile on his face. Nick, who knew the inside story, reported Kailus' outstanding performance in the battle to the president of the White House. For the sake of this young hero, the president simply abolished all discriminatory laws against mutants across the country.

This is what Charles and others from Xavier College have been pursuing. Obviously, Kailus helped them a lot.

Kailus, who was hugged by Remi and sat on the soft sofa, glanced at the people present. This time, rewards were given to everyone, but only one person was absent.

"Where is Mr. Stark?" asked Kaelus.

Nick hesitated for a moment and said frankly:

"Um... Tony is planning to renovate Stark Tower, and he's probably personally supervising the work now..."

Bombed repeatedly by alien spacecraft, even the Stark Tower, which was strong enough to withstand earthquakes, collapsed into ruins under the gunfire.

After that, Nick muttered again:
"...I heard that during the renovation, he found some unknown substance in the bodies of those alien soldiers that could give life to metals. It's called 'spark'...Alas, Tony always gets caught up in work and can't let go of anything!"

Nick sighed, shaking his head, and then turned his attention back to the people present.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this guy. The President will be here soon. He will award medals and bonuses to those who have made great contributions in this battle..."

Everyone present here is an extraordinary person with extraordinary abilities. To ordinary people, the president, who is high and mighty, is just an ordinary person with no abilities to them. So they did not take this statement too seriously, and just regarded it as just meeting a friend and going through the motions.

"…As for the prize money, it's about one million US dollars per person."

"..."

puff!
Among the X-Men, the youngest one, Robert the Iceman, was so excited that he spat out the tea in his mouth.

"How much? One million dollars?"

This is not a small number!

Even Kailus' eyes lit up when he heard this. Oh my god! Is it finally my turn to live the life of a capitalist?

Nick clapped his hands and laughed. One million US dollars per person was actually nothing. An expensive missile head in the army cost several million US dollars. If a little money slipped through the fingers of those masters who held military power, the amount would be more than that.

But for those of you here, it is undoubtedly a lot!
"...Is this the salary for being a hero? Let me tell you, Logan, you can make money by being a hero!" Robert laughed passionately.

Under previous state laws, mutants were mostly discriminated against and could only do the lowest-level odd jobs. Even the X-Men, with Charles's funding, could not get much salary.

"One million US dollars for just this fight? Nick, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I would have fought with those Chitauri troops for a while longer, so that more people would know about my heroic figure. Wouldn't the bonus be higher?" Kaylus did not hide his excitement.

At this moment, Nick suddenly turned around and looked at him meaningfully:
"Oh, by the way, Kailus, we have to deduct part of your bonus first as a subsidy for repairing the damaged buildings."
