American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Chapter 78 Captain America's Shock

The next morning.

Atlantic.

A Quinjet flew at low altitude over the sea at high speed, heading towards an aircraft carrier ahead.

"Sir, we are still 40 minutes away from headquarters."

The pilot reported the remaining flight time to Coulson.

Coulson took off his headphones, stood up, and walked up to a blond man wearing a brown jacket.

This blond man not only has a handsome face and a perfect physique, but also a classic American-style perky butt.

The first superhero in American history!

Captain America!

Steve Rogers!

At this moment, instead of "cramming" on the mission information on the tablet next to him, he was seriously looking at the young man sitting opposite him.

The man he was sizing up was none other than Roy.

They all live in New York.

The only difference is that one lives in a villa on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, while the other lives in an apartment arranged by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Therefore, Agent Hill specially arranged for them to travel to the aircraft carrier in the same Quinjet.

Tony is also in New York now.

But it's clear that Tony isn't the type to blindly follow orders.

Roy hasn't looked at the mission information yet.

He had already read all the necessary intelligence last night.

In the surveillance video sent by Agent Hill, he immediately recognized Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight.

Not only that, he also saw Proxima Midnight using the Mind Stone scepter to control Nick Fury and Hawkeye.

After scrutinizing Roy, Rogers asked, "Did you also acquire your superpowers through serum injections?"

Roy shook his head and casually replied, "No, I awakened naturally."

Natural awakening?

Rogers paused for a few seconds, then continued, "What does your codename, Fourth Hokage, mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything special. You can simply think of it as the fourth leader of an organization," Roy replied casually.

In this world, no one but him knows the true meaning of the Fourth Hokage.

He also had no interest in explaining to others in detail what the Fourth Hokage really meant.

Rogers immediately frowned: "The intelligence says you're a lone wolf, not affiliated with any organization."

"The intelligence you've seen is only what S.H.I.E.L.D. currently possesses."

"Or rather, what you see now is all information that I voluntarily disclosed to S.H.I.E.L.D."

Roy spoke slowly.

Rogers frowned even more deeply.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked seriously, "The intelligence says you're a private investigator who charges a high fee for every job."

"How much did S.H.I.E.L.D. pay you for this favor?"

Roy smiled slightly and said an amount that left Rogers speechless.

"Not much, just 5 million US dollars."

$5 billion?

Rogers gasped, staring at Roy in shock.

Although he had only recently awakened from his frozen state, that did not prevent him from knowing what a huge sum of money $5 million was, just take his daily expenses after waking up as an example.

Now, his daily expenses are only one or two hundred US dollars.

"Here's a personal suggestion: S.H.I.E.L.D. has a lot of money and is very willing to spend it. You'd better ask S.H.I.E.L.D. for a generous reward as well."

"New York today is not the New York you remember. It's not an easy thing to settle down in New York and own a house."

Roy gave Rogers advice with a serious expression.

Although he didn't quite approve of some of Rogers's actions, considering that they were both superhumans and that Rogers was already an "old man," he didn't want Rogers to be foolishly used as cheap labor by Nick Fury.

"I took this mission not for the reward, but to protect innocent civilians."

Rogers frowned.

"Soldiers also need to receive military pay to make a living. Earning money through labor does not conflict with protecting innocent civilians."

Roy replied.

Rogers had no intention of continuing the conversation with Roy. He turned to Coulson and asked, "Does Dr. Banner want to replicate the serum I was injected with before?"

"Many people want that."

"You are the world's first superhero," Dr. Banner believes that gamma rays are the key to cracking Dr. Erskine's original formula.

Coulson replied quickly.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Rogers said slowly.

"yes."

"However, when he's not transformed, he's just like Stephen William Hawking."

Coulson looked at Rogers with a sigh and continued.

Stephen William Hawking?

Rogers looked at Coulson, puzzled.

Coulson immediately realized that Rogers didn't know who Hawking was, and quickly added, "He's a scientist, a very intelligent person."

After a moment's thought, Coulson looked at Rogers with anticipation and said slowly, "I must say, it is my honor to meet you formally."

"Actually, I've seen you before. I visited you when you were still unconscious."

"I mean, I was there when you were still unconscious in the freezer."

"Honestly, it's a great honor for us to have you join us."

It must be said that even the most experienced top agents...

When they meet their dream idol, they feel just as nervous and flustered as ordinary people.

"I hope I can handle it," Rogers said slowly.

Although he didn't know Coulson very well, he could tell that Coulson was a little nervous in front of him.

"You are absolutely capable of this, without a doubt."

"We've made some adjustments and modifications to your uniform, and I've also offered some suggestions for improvement."

Coulson said quickly.

"My uniform?"

"Isn't the star and stripe design a bit... outdated?"

As soon as Rogers finished speaking, Coulson replied without hesitation, "Given the current situation and the impending fierce battle, we may need some of the spirit of the past."

40 minute later.

The fighter jets landed on the aircraft carrier's deck.

After the rear hatch opened, Roy, Rogers, and Coulson emerged from the cabin.

As soon as Roy arrived on the deck, he saw Natasha, whom he hadn't seen for some time.

Today, Natasha wasn't dressed sexily; she was wearing casual clothes.

He wore a dark red T-shirt and a black jacket on top, and jeans and boots on the bottom. He also had a gun holster strapped to his right leg.

When Natasha arrived, Coulson immediately said, "Agent Romanov, this is Captain Rogers."

"Roy probably doesn't need an introduction, you're all old friends."

Natasha glanced at Roy first, then looked at Rogers and said, "Captain, hello."

,"Hello."

Rogers replied immediately.

After greeting Rogers, Natasha said to Coulson, "They're looking for you on the bridge; they've started facial recognition tracking."

Coulson nodded and immediately walked toward the bridge.

"Finding you in the ice caused quite a stir. I thought Coulson would faint from joy upon seeing you!"

Did you sign his treasured Captain America collectible card?

Natasha said as she led Roy and Rogers toward Banner.

"Collection card?" Rogers asked, puzzled.

"It's a rare, out-of-print item, and he's very proud of it," Natasha replied.

Soon, they arrived in front of Banner.

"Hello, Dr. Banner."

Rogers was the first to greet him, extending his right hand to Banner.

Banner shook hands with Rogers and replied, "I heard you were coming."

"I heard you can find the Rubik's Cube?" Rogers asked.

"Haven't you heard of anything else?" Banner retorted.

"I ignored everything else," Rogers replied quickly.

"It's alright if I don't listen to what he says. With Roy around, I won't cause any trouble," Banner said slowly, looking at Roy with a sigh.

"I'm here to find the Cosmic Cube, not to capture you, so don't worry."

"6

"By the way, where's Dr. Ross? Didn't she come?"

Roy asked with a smile.

"Uh...we broke up."

Banner sighed and replied with a helpless expression.
