Chapter 19 - Refuse
Professor X and Cyclops brought Nightcrawler back, and Chief Nick gave it a license. Although Nightcrawler assassinated the President’s executor, he was controlled so it was nothing.
In fact, Professor X is somewhat more vulnerable than Magneto.
Kent found that the professor was a little disappointed when he left, probably because of Jason, because the professor fired Jason and didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen next. However, at that time, the professor’s mutant academy had just opened, and he did not have the patience to educate the bear children. If Jason entered the school now, no matter how mischievous the professor was, he would not be fired.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Kent said, isn’t everyone watching enough?
Coulson walked over and said, “Kent, I knew you were not a bad person.” Kent saved Coulson and watched the whole process. He was so handsome and cool. He saved people with just a few gestures. It was incredible. : “If it weren’t for you, there would definitely be a lot of casualties in this disaster, but you can even freeze the flood. Do you know what your power represents?”
“It means that I can save more people from natural disasters.”
“Yes, you are so right. The director has already figured out how to arrange you. He will set up a special department for you called a natural disaster response team. You will definitely become a national hero.”
“I refuse.” “Today is easy. The real heroes of mankind are the police, firefighters and soldiers who have no superpowers and will fight against disasters, not me.” Kent knew that if he arranged for SHIELD to go to disaster relief meetings everywhere what becomes. He will become the black-and-white existence that is admired by some people and slandered by some people.
Kent also deeply knows that he can’t save everyone, so some people will use the few people they haven’t saved to attack themselves, saying that they are hypocritical existences.
And a large number of those who were saved by themselves would be ungrateful and continue to squander the lives that they finally managed to continue.
Kent doesn’t want to do those things that are asking for trouble anymore. When he was in the DC universe, he knew that he shouldn’t be against nature. At that time, he cut down the number of rescues despite being scolded. There is no reason to continue in this world. Repeat the same mistakes.
“But your ability is so powerful that there is a saying among us that ‘with great ability comes great responsibility’.” Coulson didn’t expect Kent’s refusal to be so straightforward, and he couldn’t help but want to convince him.
“You have this sentence, and I have another sentence: Fearing nature is like fearing God.” Kent left after saying that. If he saw it, it was easy, but if he didn’t see himself going to help, it would be rude.
Coulson originally had a lot to say, but he can’t say it now, and his impression of Kent’s transformation has just been reversed.
Kent changed back to his suit and glasses, made himself a cup of coffee during the break, and stretched, thinking that he was in perfect condition as an office worker.
“You rejected the director’s arrangement?” Just as Kent was resting, another lobbyist came to the door.
“You mean the whole world is running to save mankind? Yes, I refused.”
Natasha said in her heart that it is not the whole world, but the United States. But looking at Kent’s appearance, he knew that he would not change his mind: “I heard everything you said just now, and I think I really want to get to know you again.”
“I don’t need it anymore, I’m still the alien you hate, isn’t I?” Kent said with a sip of coffee.
Natasha shook her head: “It’s not that you refuse to work, it’s what you said before, ‘The real heroes are those policemen and firefighters who don’t have superpowers but are fighting against disasters’.”
Not expecting Natasha to repeat this sentence, Kent sneered: “That’s not what I said either, it was said by a friend of mine.” It was Lex Luthor who said it, of course when he said it, he Not friends with Superman, Luthor used this sentence to criticize Superman.
Natasha thought that you still have friends? “Can you tell me about your friend?”
“He’s an egoist, but don’t make him a hero because of that, he said it to me. Because no matter what I do, even if I take a pet cat from a tree, I’ll be everyone. Interesting anecdote, you know, on the previous planet, everyone actually liked me, but unfortunately those likes will also turn into hatred because of my absence.” Being asked ‘Where is Superman? ’, and some people even maliciously criticize Superman.
Kent was popular, but he was also scolded badly.
Natasha understood Kent’s meaning after a little thought. On the last planet, Kent must have been saving people everywhere, but in the end, it was questioned, so she came to the earth in despair, so he didn’t want to save people on earth. people. Looking at Kent’s expression, Natasha thinks Superman isn’t lying.
“It seems that you understand that with great ability comes great responsibility. Perhaps it is an encouragement to the noble, but I still decided to be a despicable person. Those who have suffered misfortune hope that they can accept the arrangement of fate.”
“I think the director will arrange a new job for you if he knows this.”
“It’s better to do something easy, don’t be too tired.” Kent shouted to Natasha who was walking away.
Commissioner Nick said that Kent was not a cooperative person, but after listening to Natasha’s remarks, he also knew that Kent’s experience on the previous planet must be unpleasant, but he was still very dissatisfied. If Kent was willing, thousands of people could be saved. Life, why doesn’t he have any consciousness?
Nick was very angry, but since Kent is still willing to work, let him do the coolie: “Arrange him to the dock, I think his strength will be used in the dock.”
Nick was also motivated. Kent was transferred to the engineering team with a single transfer order, and he became an honorable transport worker and used his strength.
There are still many small details of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier that have not been completed at this time. Although it is already running, it often needs to be returned to the dock for correction. As the most advanced and largest warhead of the U.S. government, the sky carrier is hundreds of times more complicated than a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. As the first person to eat crabs, the US empire cannot solve all the problems of the sky carrier at once, so it is improving while running. S.H.I.E.L.D.’s main force now is to make the Helicarrier form a combat force as soon as possible to deal with unknown threats.
Kent’s job in the dock is to transport all kinds of things, and he doesn’t mind it. He wears a uniform and a cape to carry steel parts. In the past, Luthor often asked him to help build large machinery, and sometimes Kent also helped Batman. Anyway, they have money. There are ideas to build all kinds of artificial miracles, and Kent is only responsible for the effort.
Anyway, from Kent’s point of view, no matter how well you build, you will be happy to tear it down. Don’t be too happy to build it yourself.
So after arriving at the dock, Kent felt that the sky carrier would have to be dismantled by himself sooner or later. This has become a law. Sooner or later, the projects he assisted in construction will be captured by the bad guys, and then he will go straight to three strikes, five divisions, two dismantling machines and capture them. Catch the bad guys.
Of course, since S.H.I.E.L.D. has so many good things, Kent also wants to make something for himself, of course, not a weapon but a ‘strength tester’. After coming to the new world, Kent found that his strength seemed to be stronger, so he thought Find out how many earths you can lift with your current strength.
