Chapter 75 Nick Fury and the Commander of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Fourth update, please subscribe!!)
sunset.

Lake Culver was very quiet. A breeze blew across the lake, causing ripples and brushing the river bank, waking up Natasha who had fallen asleep on the grass.

Natasha slowly opened her eyes and stared at the orange-red sun in a trance.

next second.

As her pupils quickly focused, she jumped up from the grass and quickly assumed a classic combat stance.

but……

There was no one around except for the yellow Corolla whose roof he had just crushed, and Bruce Banner, whose life or death was unknown, lying in front of the ruined holiday cottage.

and many more.

Bruce Banner?
Natasha reacted quickly and ran to Bruce, who was lying on the cracked ground, soaked all over and wearing only a pair of high-quality shorts. After testing whether Bruce still had a faint breath, she quickly took out a needle from her pocket and inserted it directly into Bruce's chest with a click.

The injection has an immediate effect.

Just the second after Natasha pulled out the needle, Bruce, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

next second.

"what!"

Bruce Banner suddenly sat up from the ground, his face full of horror, his mouth wide open, breathing heavily.

Natasha, who was standing by and watching Bruce resurrect, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

after awhile.

Bruce's breathing gradually calmed down, and his frightened expression gradually eased.

Natasha supported Bruce and came to the river bank and sat down under a big tree that was broken in two-thirds. After Bruce sat down against the tree to rest, she began to ask Bruce questions.

"what happens."

"..."

Bruce didn't say anything, but frowned, as if he was trying hard to recall something.

Natasha didn't urge him, but just waited for Bruce to recall his memories. At the same time, she seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously touched the back of her head.

Her mind once again recalled the pair of eyes she saw when she fainted.

after all……

Those are a pair of perfect fan-shaped eyes.

Who is she?
Natasha thought to herself.

at this time.

Bruce frowned and looked down at his arms. After squeezing them hard, he seemed to confirm something. He looked up at Natasha, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Hulk is dead."

Natasha came back to her senses and subconsciously stared at Bruce with wide eyes, as if she didn't hear clearly, and seemed to be reluctant to believe the answer.

after all……

That's the Hulk.

"Hulk is dead!"

Bruce Banner repeated, recalling the remaining memory in his mind: "He dragged Hulk to the bottom of the lake. Hulk had no way to get rid of him and was forcibly suppressed at the bottom of the lake. He seemed to not need to breathe and killed Hulk at the bottom of the lake, but... he didn't choose to kill me."

There was something indescribable about his tone, even about the murderer who killed Hulk.

how to say?

Hate?

Not to mention.

Because no one hates Hulk more than himself. Although he chose to reconcile with Hulk after the Battle of New York and was able to freely control himself and transform into Hulk, this does not mean that he completely accepts Hulk.

Let’s put it this way, if he had a choice, he still hoped that he would not turn into Hulk again.

After all, Hulk destroyed everything he had, caused him to leave his girlfriend, and forced him to hide in Barat where even the air is poisonous.

And now his dream has come true, someone really helped him kill the Hulk in his body.

So from this perspective, Bruce doesn't even have time to express gratitude, so how could he possibly hate?

only……

Speaking of gratitude?

Bruce Banner frowned slightly, feeling something strange.

He couldn't explain what this feeling was now.

But one thing is certain.

"Hulk is dead."

"Killed by that Hawke."

"I'm quite sure of that."

Bruce took a deep breath and clenched his fists under Natasha's gaze, but he could no longer feel the throbbing sensation he had when he was about to transform into the Hulk.

He even felt a little lost inside, as if he always felt like he had lost something.

Natasha fell silent after hearing Bruce's confirmation.

At this moment, a rapid telephone ring rang from the grass not far away.

Natasha was stunned at first, then she reacted and quickly stood up and ran in the direction of the sound.

really.

It was her dropped cell phone.

Natasha quickly picked up the phone from the ground, looked at the incoming call on the screen, took a deep breath, and answered the call.

"Director."

"Natasha."

The headquarters of the SHIELD Three Flying Ornaments.

Nick Fury, who was very recognizable in a black windbreaker and black eye mask, stood in the combat command center with his hands on his hips. As Natasha's voice came out clearly, he asked directly.

"Estimated time of arrival in Tennessee."

"It is expected..."

Natasha opened her mouth, then looked at Bruce Banner, who was leaning against a tree with an inexplicable expression, a little happy, a little lost, and a little angry, and then she reacted.

"Chief, Hulk was killed."

"..."

Nick Fury, hands on his hips, froze instantly. His single eye also involuntarily narrowed.

Commander Maria Hill, who was standing nearby in a SHIELD combat uniform, was also stunned when she heard Natasha's words.

"What do you mean Hulk is dead? Bruce Banner is dead?"

"No, Dr. Bruce Banner is still alive, it's just the Hulk who's dead."

"..."

Hulk is dead, but Bruce Banner is alive?

These words confused the Director of SHIELD and the Commander of SHIELD.

Nick Fury came back to his senses, his dark face filled with seriousness: "A detailed report."

Natasha responded and then started talking about how she met Dr. Bruce Banner at the airport.

They arrived at the holiday cottage safely. Dr. Bruce Banner put away his luggage and was about to go back to the airport to Tennessee when Hawke, who claimed to be his sister and came to seek revenge, appeared.

Then it talked about how Hawk, who looked less than 21 years old, fought against Hulk and was not at a disadvantage. He even dragged Hulk into the lake and then killed Hulk in the lake.

She didn't hide anything and told him everything, including the fact that she was knocked unconscious by Gwen.

Nick Fury and Maria Hill, who were in the command center of the San Fei Ornaments, were completely stunned after listening to Natasha's story.

Especially after hearing that Natasha was knocked unconscious by a girl who was also under the age of 21, Maria Hill couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

Nick Fury even paused for a moment.

Good guy.

The dignified S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, codenamed Black Widow, was knocked unconscious by a girl under the age of twenty-one?

This must be a joke.

Natasha also keenly caught the breath pause on the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, Director, Commander, it happened too suddenly, I didn't have time to think carefully."

Thinking about it now, she was indeed careless at that time.

How could a strange girl appear here at this time by such a coincidence?

But she had just woken up from the shock wave and her mind was still a little dazed. Moreover, Gwen had no weapons and did not look threatening at all.

result……

The dark history of the future has emerged.

When Natasha thought about the dark history she would have in the future, she suddenly felt a little melancholy.

At this moment, Maria Hill's voice sounded again.

"Do you think the girl who knocked you out is in cahoots with that guy called Hawke?"

"no doubt."

Natasha nodded affirmatively, then frowned slightly as if she had thought of something.

"but……"

"explain."

Nick Fury spoke in a low tone.

Natasha told what Bruce had just told her, that after Hulk died, they could have left him at the bottom of the lake and drowned, but that Hawk chose to rescue him.

And herself.

At this time, Natasha thought of what Hawke said at that time.

“Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner.”

"what?"

Maria Hill listened to Natasha's sudden muttering, but seemed not to hear it clearly.

Natasha came back to her senses: "Commander, that Hawk said from the beginning that he came for Hulk and for revenge."

and so……

Is this why the other party didn't kill Natasha and Bruce Banner?
Quite principled.

Maria Hill thought to herself.

But Nick Fury clearly didn't think so.

"Ah."

Nick Fury, with his hands on his hips, sneered, "Natasha, you just said that he called out your name and our S.H.I.E.L.D. from the very beginning?"

Natasha came to her senses.

"Yes."

"He's afraid and doesn't want to be our enemy."

"..."

Natasha was silent.

Maria Hill glanced sideways, frowning slightly as she looked at Nick Fury.

She didn't quite agree with what Nick Fury said.

They knew how powerful Hulk was, and there was no way to kill him even if he was locked in a glass cage from thousands of miles above.

What's more, there is a Hawk who can kill Hulk.

Maria Hill was thinking about it and was about to raise an objection when Nick Fury spoke again.

"That Hawk's name is just Hawk. Are there any other details that can be used to find him?"

"……Hold on."

Natasha was slightly startled by Nick Fury's words. She subconsciously looked around and saw the license plate on the crushed Corolla not far away. "Chief, we found a car at the scene that looks like the one they drove."

Nick Fury's one eye lit up when he heard this.

"GW521!"

"check!"

Nick Fury immediately gave an order to a SHIELD agent.

The SHIELD agent responded and began to work on the keyboard.
