Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Talos's expression changed, and he wanted to take a step forward.

Fury raised his hand to stop him.

He looked at Skye with great interest, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Skate"

"Your doubts are quite valid. This shows that Coulson has taught you well, and you have learned to question authority."

"But you're too young."

Fury walked up to Skye, the two of them less than half a meter apart.

"The world operates not on 'trust,' but on 'leverage.'"

"I have the levers to break the Skrulls, so I dare to use them."

"As for the Secret Warrior Project..."

Fury's eyes dimmed for a moment, but quickly returned to their cold expression.

"Project Secret Warrior. Yes, that's my signature."

"But I didn't sell them."

"I'm protecting them!"

"I brought them together to provide them with shelter, to teach them how to control their powers, and to help them contribute to protecting this world!"

"Just like Walter..."

"But then... it was Pierce who, without my knowledge, used my authorization to transfer that batch of lists. That was my dereliction of duty, I admit."

"But I never treated them as commodities!"

"I'm standing here now, looking like this, just to settle this score."

Skye looked at Fury.

She could sense that the man's anger was genuine.

But she still couldn't let it go.

"That's your problem," Skye said coldly. "Even if what you say is true, it doesn't change the fact that you messed everything up."

"Moreover, your attitude of treating everything as a pawn is disgusting."

"If this is how S.H.I.E.L.D. operates..."

Skye removed the S.H.I.E.L.D. badge from her chest.

"...Then I quit."

She tossed the badge to the ground with a crisp sound, then turned to leave.

"stop."

Fury's voice sounded behind her.

"What? Are you going to kill me to silence me?" Skye stopped in her tracks, reached for her watch, and mocked without turning her head.

"No."

Fury suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"I just think, Miss Daisy Jason."

"You should be nicer to me."

Skye's eyes widened, and her body stiffened abruptly.

"What...what did you call me?"

Her voice trembled.

Daisy Jensen? What's that?

Is that a name?

She was an orphan, designated as 084 in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files. She spent her entire life searching for her parents and her origins.

No one has ever called her by that name.

Daisy.

Fury repeated it, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

"Daisy Jensen, that's your real name."

"Or rather, it's the name you were born with."

Skye's body began to tremble.

This name is the answer she has been searching for for over twenty years.

She hacked into countless databases and scoured countless files, all to find out who she was and where she came from.

Now, the answer came out of Fury's mouth so easily.

"How...how did you know?"

"Of course I know."

Fury slowly walked towards Skye.

"Moreover, if you want to find out your origins, you can't do without the help of these Skrulls."

"Because you have special blood flowing in your body."

Fury's voice became drawn out, as if unveiling a long-forgotten history.

"Long ago, an alien race called the Kree came to Earth. They conducted an experiment on humans, attempting to create a super bio-weapon."

"They succeeded, and they failed."

"They created a group of mutants with extraordinary abilities—we call them the Inhumans."

"And you, Daisy," Fury said, pointing at Skye, "you are a descendant of the Inhumans."

"The Inhumans... the Kree..."

These words were too foreign to her, too sci-fi, even more absurd than Hydra.

But what does this have to do with the Skrulls?

"It's a big deal."

Talos spoke, his voice filled with deep-seated hatred.

"The Kree are our mortal enemies."

"They destroyed our home planet, slaughtered our people, and turned us into stray dogs in the universe."

"We know the Kree better than anyone else—their genes, their technology, and their experimental subjects."

Talos looked at Skye with a strange light in his eyes.

"You have the scent of the Kree on you."

"That's it... Only they can lead you to your parents, to the place you came from."

"And they... listen to me."

"So?" Fury gave him a businessman's smile. "Is this reason enough to make you a little 'friendly' to me?"

Skye looked at Fury, then at Talos, the green-skinned man beside her.

She's not stupid; Nick Fury has never been the type to do charity.

He told himself so much, even at the cost of revealing secrets, that he definitely had something in mind.

"What do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple."

Fury pointed upwards.

"I know you have some connection with that Homelander."

"Homelander".

Skye's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively gripped the watch on her wrist.

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Stop pretending," Fury interrupted her. "I don't care if you're his lover or his informant in S.H.I.E.L.D. I don't care about any of that. He's not my real enemy."

Skye neither confirmed nor denied it. She simply looked at Fury warily.

"What do you want? You want to get rid of him?" Skye said coldly. "If you want me to help you scheme against Homelander, then I can only say you've come to the wrong person."

"No, no, no."

Fury waved his finger.

"I'm not crazy. For me to mess with that Superman draped in the Stars and Stripes right now would be suicide."

"I just need you to act as a middleman."

"A middleman?" Skye frowned.

"You just need to make the connection for me. I don't need him to agree to anything immediately, I just need a meeting, a meeting that won't turn me into pieces or hand me over to the FBI."

Skye understood.

Nick Fury is trying to curry favor with a powerful figure.

In this era when Homelander is at the height of his power, any organization that wants to gain a foothold in the public eye cannot bypass Vought and Homelander.

She was struggling internally.

On the one hand, she has a special admiration and trust for Homelander. She doesn't want to use this relationship to help Fury, the schemer.

But on the other hand...

The allure of the word "parents" is simply too great.

That was the answer she had been longing to know.

Skye let out a long sigh of relief.

finally.

"...I can't guarantee he'll agree," Skye said in a low voice.

"All you need to do is relay the message," Fury said.

"……good."

Skye raised her head, her eyes resolute.

"If you dare lie to me, Fury."

"I will have my homelanders burn you to ashes."

"make a deal."
