Marvel's Forest of Vientiane

Chapter 45 Peggy's Inquiry

Fury thought about it and got into Ms. Paige's car.When he first entered S.H.I.E.L.D., Ms. Peggy was the director. At that time, he was just a small guy in S.H.I.E.L.D., and the two had no intersection other than entering and leaving S.H.I.E.L.D.

Later, Fury was sent to Bogota, Colombia, and made great contributions when he was promoted to the second in command in Bogota. Fury, who was transferred back to the United States, only heard that a few years ago, Ms. Peggy terminated her Work at S.H.I.E.L.D.

Fury didn't understand why Ms. Paige wanted to meet him. It was about the alien incident last week; or Pierce recommended himself to Ms. Paige, and Ms. Paige wanted him to do something.

After Fury got into the car, Ms. Paige did not speak immediately, but let the driver drive.As an agent, Fury subconsciously memorized the scenery and road signs along the way, and soon a road map appeared in his mind.Peggy didn't care when she saw that Fury was memorizing the route, but she admired Fury's agent quality. You must know that many SHIELD agents were nervous to chat with her, a legend, when they were in her car. Route people are few and far between.

The car drove the two of them to a manor on the outskirts of the special zone. The manor is not very big, but its advantage is that it is far away from the city and relatively secretive.After getting out of the car, Fury followed Ms. Paige through the cinder block passage, which ended in a house.Judging from the dust and leaves on the ground, no one has been here for a long time.

Ms. Paige took out the key from her handbag and inserted it into the keyhole. After turning it twice, the door opened with a "click". Ms. Paige pushed the door open and walked in.

"Go in."

Ms. Paige invited Fury into the house, and then led him to the second floor. The two walked through a row of windows and looked out just in time to see the scene behind the house, which was a block of trees.Through the trees he could see another building there, and he didn't know what that was for.

The corridor on the second floor extends forward to another wing, where there are many rooms, and Ms. Paige chooses one at random and walks in, which happens to be a study.

"I got this house after I retired from S.H.I.E.L.D., but I haven't been here much. I'm not used to living alone," Ms. Peggy patted the dust on the chair, coughing, "Ahem, it's okay to breathe. Just a little dust."

Fury also found a chair and sat down, ready to hear Ms. Peggy's purpose for coming here.

"Sorry, the situation is urgent. I can only find a hidden place to meet you. There will be absolutely no bugs here. It's a pity that there is nothing to entertain you."

"No, Ms. Paige, but what is your purpose here?"

Fury asked the question he'd wanted to ask along the way.Ms. Peggy didn't have the slightest idea of ​​talking to him on the way. This only shows that Ms. Peggy didn't want others to know what she wanted to tell her, otherwise she wouldn't have brought him to this house that no one had visited for a long time.

"You've been looking for Altair's information recently, right?"

Hearing Ms. Peggy's words, Fury was startled. Is Altair really an important person?

From what Altair told him, he lived in space around World War II.In terms of time, is he an important member of the Strategic Science Corps, or a friend of Ms. Peggy, or was the process of going to the universe witnessed by many people?
Fury thought of many possibilities, but what he never expected was the possibility that Altair was an enemy. Judging from his previous experience, Altair was absolutely impossible to be a villain.

"How did you know?"

"Because I have been paying attention to his information, as long as someone checks it, I will know it immediately."

"I see. So was Altair an important figure in World War II? Why should you pay so much attention to him?"

"Hey, this is a long story. Before I ask you, do you know Hydra?"

Hydra?Of course Fury knew that before he entered S.H.I.E.L.D., he always thought that Hydra was a fiction in the "Captain America" ​​comics.After joining S.H.I.E.L.D., he knew that Hydra not only existed, but also committed many evil deeds. In the end, Captain America destroyed the organization.

Now when they are talking about Altair, Ms. Peggy specifically mentioned this organization. Could it be that Altair is related to Hydra?
Ms. Peggy seemed to know what he was thinking and said affirmatively: "Yes, Altair is indeed related to Hydra. Now it's time for you to answer my question. Why did you check his information?"

"Before the alien incident, I met a man named Altair..."

After thinking about it for a while, Fury decided to tell Peggy about Altair. If he happens to be a comrade-in-arms against Hydra with Ms. Peggy, then he can find a way to let him join his recently drawn up "Avengers Plan" .

"What does he look like?"

Ms. Paige's urgent inquiry made Fury firmer in his guess.

"Military uniform, long straight silver ponytails, looks like a woman..."

Fury found that Ms. Peggy's face became more serious every time he mentioned one of Altair's characteristics. Could it be that the Altair he met was not the one Ms. Paige knew?

"It really is him, I didn't expect that he is not dead yet."

what happened?Ms. Paige's tone seems to be not quite right, aren't they friends? Why do they feel like enemies?Altair wouldn't be a Hydra man, would he?The idea of ​​friend or foe is chilling, but also simple.

Fury recalled the time with Altair, even if he is not as kind as the US team, he is definitely not a villain.Unless all this he showed was his disguise!
"What I'll tell you next, don't tell anyone else, can you promise?"

"I promise."

"Very good. Let me tell you briefly, Altair is Hydra's second-in-command, second only to Red Skull. Nearly half of the members of the Roaring Commando were brainwashed by him..."

"Wait a minute, wasn't that Roaring Commando the hero who defeated Hydra? How could he be brainwashed?"

"This is the scary thing about Altair. There is no trace of his brainwashing, and it will only be activated when he hears the secret order he read. The captives who passed his hands at the beginning are very likely to be brainwashed by him. This number is rare. Thousands of people."

"What happened to those brainwashed captives?"

"Don't wait for me to finish," Peggy said, "Those captives were only suspected of being brainwashed, and we had no way to be sure, so we gathered them in several cities, together with their relatives, and those cities we called The vanished town."
