Chapter 1008: Messanger
After making a decision, Rogers sent a message using the tablet in his hand. Then he stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the high-rise building at SHIELD headquarters, looking outside.
Since he had been revived and became the new Director of SHIELD, Rogers liked to stand by these windows and look outside when he had nothing else to do.
Although there wasn’t much of a nice view from the SHIELD headquarters building, Rogers enjoyed the feeling and atmosphere.
It was like how Tony liked to fly in the sky wearing his Iron Man suit when he had nothing else to do, which was a different kind of atmosphere.
Clack clack clack ~
After standing by the windows for a while, Rogers heard the steady footsteps behind him. He didn’t need to turn around to know that it was Falcon who had come over.
The message Rogers had sent earlier was for Falcon, and he could also tell who was coming from the footsteps.
“Captain, did you call me over for something?” Falcon asked directly as he walked up to stand next to Rogers by the windows.
A few days ago, there was a level A or above incident in Rochester, and Rogers sent Falcon over since the other members of the Avengers were not available.
Falcon also encountered the creepy Ghost Rider and even had his flying wings damaged in a big battle.
After Falcon returned and reported, he thought there would be some follow-up to the incident, but Rogers directly told him that someone had taken care of it. SHIELD only needed to handle the aftermath, which surprised Falcon at the time.
However, after Rogers explained further, Falcon understood. After all, after that person took action, SHIELD didn’t need to worry about anything anymore.
“Falcon, do you get the wings fixed?” Instead of immediately responding to Falcon’s question, Rogers looked at him and asked.
Previously, Falcon had a fight with that hotheaded guy in Rochester and ended up losing. Rogers knew about it, so he asked if Falcon’s wings were fixed first. After all, Falcon with wings and Falcon without wings had vastly different combat capabilities.
“Well, they’re fixed now. And the guys in the equipment department seem to have added some special features to it. They said I should try it out myself next time and that there will be a surprise.” Falcon smiled as he replied to Rogers’ question.
After Falcon returned, he sent his broken wings to the equipment department at SHIELD headquarters.
When he received his wings back, the middle-aged researcher in the equipment department with little hair had a somewhat disdainful expression that Falcon still remembered vividly. It was as if Falcon’s wings were completely unworthy in his eyes.
When Falcon expressed his desire to quickly retrieve his fixed wings, the researcher a.s.sured him that he would receive a brand new set of wings in three days.
Additionally, he would give Falcon’s wings a major upgrade. After this upgrade, Falcon’s wings would have a significant functional improvement that he would surely love.
Falcon listened to the researcher’s words but he didn’t really care about it much since his old wings worked just fine.
Although they had limited functions, they had served him well for a long time. However, if he could truly upgrade to something more amazing that would allow him to expand his capabilities then he would be very willing.
“Is that so? Although there are many crazies in the equipment department, if they say they can upgrade your wings, then they should be able to.” Understanding Falcon’s response, Rogers nodded and said.
“Captain, why did you call me here? Is there a new mission?” Without lingering on his upgraded wings, Falcon continued to ask.
“Oh, yes. There is a new mission. However, it may be a little difficult.” Looking at Falcon, Rogers finally spoke about the mission.
“Difficult mission? Is it very dangerous?” Falcon asked, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he heard Rogers’ words.
Since joining SHIELD, Falcon had experienced more danger in just a few months than he had in his time in special forces.
In addition to facing the deeply hidden organization of Hydra, Falcon had also encountered powerful mutants, the self-destructive threat of the mad scientist Killian, and the Dark Elf invasion brought about by the Magic Cube incident.
Each of these events was worthy of being cla.s.sified as an S-level event within SHIELD.
Therefore, after experiencing so much, Falcon no longer thought that there was anything that was very dangerous for SHIELD. After all, could anything be more dangerous than an extraterrestrial civilization invading their planet?
It was precisely because of this that Falcon remained calm when facing the fiery Ghost Rider a few days ago. If Falcon hadn’t experienced so many S-level events, he would have been as surprised and shocked as everyone else upon seeing the flaming skeleton.
“Well…this mission isn’t really that dangerous,” Rogers said somewhat awkwardly upon hearing Falcon’s question.
“Hmm? What’s the situation then?” Falcon became even more curious.
“Falcon, you weren’t part of SHIELD before. So, it would be better for you to take on this mission than for others to do it. And, I’ll fully support you.”
“Okay, Captain, don’t beat around the bush. Just tell me, who do I have to deal with?”
“The former leaders of SHIELD.”
Falcon: “…”
…
While Rogers was talking with Falcon about his upcoming mission at the SHIELD headquarters in Washington, in the northern city, Scott, who had been rescued again by Lin Rui and Bucky, had already returned to Pym Tech with several sets of Ant-Man suits.
In the private medical room at Pym Tech, Scott saw Dr. Pym, who had finished the surgery and was looking a lot better than before.
“I’m back with a lot of loot!” Scott greeted as he walked towards the ward.
Although Scott was very embarra.s.sed after last night’s battle, and because he had to use the Giant Mode, everyone in the city thought a giant had appeared.
But now Scott had returned safely, and according to Lin Rui, Darren Cross wouldn’t cause any more trouble for anyone. Therefore, Scott’s mission could be considered as a success.
“Well done, I knew you could do it,” Dr. Pym said with a happy expression on his face, he was happy to see Scott back safely.
“Congratulations, Scott,” Said Hope, who was sitting next to the bed, with a smile.
Hearing the praise from Dr. Pym and Hope, Scott felt a little proud and sat down on the chair opposite the bed.
“But what’s the situation with the people who helped you?” Dr. Pym’s voice came over as soon as Scott sat down.
