Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

"You scared me to death! I thought it was some clueless bitch."

In Jessica's view, although Skynet has a physical body, it is essentially still a program, an AI.

Who would be jealous of a robot vacuum cleaner?

Wanda patted her chest, her expression changing from gloomy to cheerful.

"Great...it's Miss Skynet."

Wanda thought to herself, Skynet usually treated her the best, always giving her extra help and even helping her choose clothes. Since it was her, then there was absolutely no problem.

After all, how could AI possibly fall in love with a human?

Jessica and Wanda exchanged a smile, completely letting their guard down.

"My God, Anthony." Tony put away his gloves, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "You've gone a bit too far with this joke. You'll scare me into a mental breakdown one day."

"Life needs a little surprise, doesn't it?"

"Come on, everyone, stop standing there!"

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Azu immediately clapped his hands and greeted everyone.

"Keep the music playing, keep dancing!"

"Thank goodness! What a scare!"

Seeing this, Pietro immediately jumped in to liven up the atmosphere.

"Come on! To our new partner! To Miss Skynet! Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The party atmosphere became lively again.

Everyone pulled the Skynet aside, filled with curiosity.

"Hey, Skynet..." Tony leaned closer, his eyes shining. "How does this body's haptic feedback system work? Was that skin color change done with nanotechnology?"

"It's a combination of Dr. Helen Zhao's Regenerative Cradle technology and the energy of the Mind Stone, Mr. Stark," Skynet replied politely.

"Um... can you turn into a man?" Angela asked curiously. "I mean, like, a muscular hunk?"

"That's impossible," Skynet smiled. "The biometrics of this body are set to female; you can think of it as a semi-biological android."

"Okay..." Angela was a little disappointed.

As night deepened, the revelry continued.

Ah Zu was very satisfied with all of this, and raised his glass to salute the Heavenly Net from afar.

Skynet seemed to sense his gaze, turned its head, and gave him a look that only the two of them could understand.

……

Let's rewind to a few hours before the battle with Ultron broke out.

Grant Ward came out of the bathroom.

He washed his face with cold water, and water droplets dripped down his chin.

Just now, he received that encrypted message from "the all-seeing eye" John Garrett.

[Target locked: Nick Fury's location has been confirmed.]

[Intelligence Update: Fury has acquired unknown alien technology, intending to use it to overthrow the existing world order and retaliate against Hydra.]

[Instructions: He will conduct a secret handover tomorrow at coordinates (49.27.41.-80.3.40). You must intercept the technology sample at all costs and execute Fury.]

For the future of Hydra. —Garret.

Ward silently put his phone back in his pocket.

Alien technology? Disruption of order?

This sounds like something Fury would do.

That one-eyed man always kept things hidden, holding countless trump cards in his hand.

However, he didn't care whether Hydra would be destroyed; he just wanted Garrett's approval.

"call……"

Ward took a deep breath, composed himself, and reverted to his loyal and reliable SHIELD operations expert persona before pushing open the door and returning to the command center.

Inside the command center, Coulson was deep in thought, his brow furrowed.

Just now, a string of numbers lit up on his S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 7 agent badge.

(49.27.41.-80.3.40)

It was like a coordinate system, and this set of coordinates suddenly appeared on his badge without any notification or explanation.

He looked up and met Melinda May's gaze.

Their years of tacit understanding meant that a single glance was enough.

"That's his style." Mei walked up to him and lowered her voice. "Only he would do something like this."

"Nick Fury," Coulson murmured the name. "He's back. I knew it."

"I don't know," Coulson shook his head. "But this is the first time in a long time that he's contacted us on his own initiative."

"Shall we go?" Mei asked.

"Of course." Coulson didn't hesitate at all. "If Director Fury is summoning me, something big must have happened."

He turned around and gave instructions to the crowd.

"Attention everyone, the mission has been changed."

"Let's not look for the obelisk for now. Change our route and go to these coordinates."

"Now?"

Skye's voice suddenly rang out.

"Coulson, Commander Rumlow's mission order for us is to investigate the clues to that 084 item—the obelisk."

She stood up, her tone clearly showing dissatisfaction.

"We've been following that lead for two weeks, and we've finally made progress. Now you're going to turn back for some unknown coordinates?"

"This isn't something of dubious origin." Coulson looked at Skye seriously. "That's Director Fury. If this is his order, then it's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s highest priority."

"Fury is no longer the director!" Skye retorted. "The acting director is Rumlow! And... Fury is a wanted criminal!"

"That's Hydra's filth!"

"How do you know it's slander?" Skye retorted, "Aren't those documents about him experimenting on children fake? Isn't that evidence sufficient?"

"Skye!" Coulson raised his voice. "Watch your attitude."

“I’m being very careful with my manners, sir.” Skye looked directly at Coulson. “I’m just following orders. The first rule of S.H.I.E.L.D. is: obey the chain of command. Commander Rumlow is the current commander.”

The air between the two seemed to be about to spark.

Fitz and Simmons sat to one side, looking at each other, not daring to speak.

Only Skye herself knows why she insists on this.

First of all, Rumlow is a Homelander, so he is one of us.

Then Rumlow also told her that the obelisk was related to her origins, which she had been searching for.

That was her lifelong obsession; she could not possibly give up the search for her parents for the sake of a so-called "former bureau chief."

Just then, Ward walked over.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Ward, you've come at the right time." Skye said as if she had found a savior. "Coulson is going to disobey Commander Rumlow's orders and go to some random coordinate. Do you think that's reasonable?"

She looked at Ward, her eyes filled with anticipation.

In her memory, Ward was a soldier who valued rules and obeyed orders.

Moreover, Ward was her supervisor and had always been on her side.

However, Ward glanced at the coordinates on the screen.

His pupils contracted slightly.

That coordinate...

It was exactly the same as the one Garrett had just sent him.
