I am directing big events in American comics

Chapter 38 The Tahiti Project

Lorraine was awakened by the rapid ringing of a phone call in her sleep. When she opened it, she saw that it was Steve's phone.

He answered the phone and said in an extremely dissatisfied tone: "Captain, if I read correctly, it should be rest time now, right?"

However, Steve on the opposite side was not in the mood to joke with Lorraine, and his voice was extremely serious.

"Lorraine, something big happened!"

Lorraine frowned, and most of his sleepiness disappeared.

"what's up?"

After Steve took a deep breath, he said: "Fury is dead!"

"Mr. Fury is dead? Then there's no need to worry."

Lorraine thought what was going on, so she woke him up in the middle of the night, "It must be a fake death!"

"It's not fake death!" Steve said, "I've seen the body!"

"Huh? That's the substitute!"

Steve was silent for a moment and said: "Lorraine, I know you don't want to accept this reality, but I'm not joking with you. Come to SHIELD. We need you now!"

These words made Lorraine hesitate.

Is Nick Fury really dead?
He didn't waste any more time, and after cleaning up, he flew directly to the SHIELD building at high speed.

As soon as he landed, he felt a different atmosphere around him.

Blood in front of the door, broken glass, and agents who are in danger of everyone.

Could it be that something big happened?
A butterfly of his own flapped its wings and slapped Nick Fury to death?

"Mr. Lorraine, you came so fast!" Shockwave Girl Daisy Johnson hurried forward, "Come with me quickly, everyone is waiting for you!"

Her voice was low, as if she didn't want to be heard.

Following Shockwave Girl, Lorraine entered the building.

The previous elevator had been blocked. Taking another elevator, Lorraine went all the way down.

Yes, all the way down, we reached the seventh underground floor in a blink of an eye.

Then there is a secret ward. When the door is opened, Steve, Natasha, Hawkeye and Agent Hill are inside.

They gathered around a hospital bed, where Nick Fury lay.

His eyes were closed, his lips were white, and the bullet holes on his temples were clearly visible.

After Shockwave Girl brought Lorraine, she consciously closed the door and left.

Steve approached Lorraine, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Lorraine, we have now reached the most serious time."

Lorraine said in disbelief: "This...Mr. Fury is really..."

Steve nodded heavily.

Looking at Nick Fury's serious face, Lorraine was determined.

It's me, not some Skrull.

He couldn't help but think of Nick Fury's expression when he agreed to be the bait, and those confident words.

"It doesn't matter, it's not that easy to kill me."

Damn it, isn't this easy?
"Who did it?" Lorraine asked.

Agent Hill responded: "It's Scarecrow, and HYDRA's killer."

She showed surveillance video from different lenses at the time, and the entire process of Nick Fury's death was filmed.

Steve's expression was moved when he saw Hydra's killer appear.

He murmured: "Bucky..."

With preconceived notions, plus the fact that the killer does look like his best friend.

Steve was almost certain.

And when she saw the scarecrow appearing, Lorraine didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

Is this the plan the emotional scarecrow talks about?When did he hook up with Hydra?
But it’s really a tough job.

"I'm sorry!" Lorraine quickly took responsibility for herself, "I shouldn't have asked Mr. Fury to investigate Hydra."

The reactions of others were exactly as Lorraine expected.

"It's okay, it's not your fault." Agent Hill said, "For something like this to happen, it only means that not only does Hydra still exist, but it has probably infiltrated SHIELD."

With Nick Fury down, Agent Hill naturally takes responsibility.

She analyzed the situation to everyone and said: "The people here now are people I can absolutely trust. I also need your help. Please!"

Natasha looked gentle and said to Hill: "Maria, you don't need to be so polite to us."

Hawkeye Clint also nodded and said: "Now is the time when SHIELD's survival is at stake. We must act as soon as possible!"

Steve also cast an encouraging look, and Agent Hill continued.

"First of all, I want to explain to everyone that although Director Fury was assassinated, he will not leave us for too long and will return soon."

Upon hearing this, everyone present showed varying degrees of confusion and shock.

Only Lorraine thought, as if she thought of something.

Steve quickly asked: "Hill, what do you mean by this? Is Director Fury not dead?"

"No, he is indeed dead." Agent Hill said firmly, "But death is not the end. In fact, a long time ago, the director made corresponding arrangements to prevent his possible accidental death. He will return Yes, but please forgive me, I cannot elaborate on this aspect.”

really……

Lorraine has already guessed what Nick Fury's arrangement was.

Especially at this juncture, Coulson was not there.

Project Tahiti.

A plan to use a drug called GH-325 extracted from the Kree to promote human cell regeneration and resurrect the dead.

In the movie "The Avengers", Coulson was killed by Loki and later resurrected through this plan.

It just so happened that Coulson had been in charge of promoting this plan.

Looking at Nick Fury's pale black face, Lorraine couldn't help but sigh, even if he could be resurrected in the end, Nick Fury would probably have to suffer a little.

Except for Lorraine, everyone else at the scene was confused at this time, but out of respect for Fury and Hill, they could only bury their doubts in their hearts and did not ask further questions.

Afterwards, Agent Hill revealed their next purpose.

Find out where S.H.I.E.L.D. is hiding Hydra.

It's not that Lorraine is pessimistic, he really thinks that the goal should be changed to find out the hidden S.H.I.E.L.D. in Hydra.

"I have a direction now." Agent Hill said, "Agent Sitwell, he is the person responsible for investigating the remains of Hydra. The director was assassinated so quickly. I think he has a big problem."

Natasha said: "Leave this task to me, I will find out the details of Sitwell."

"No, you can't go alone!" Hill said, "This mission is very dangerous, Clint is with you."

Hawkeye nodded and said to Natasha: "It seems that after Budapest, we will act together again."

After that, Hill looked at Steve: "Captain, I don't know if that killer is your former friend, but I do think that only you can trace the whereabouts of that killer."

"Okay!" Steve readily agreed, "Whether he is Bucky or not, I will catch him!"

"Then..." Hill looked at Lorraine.

"I know, find the scarecrow, right!" Lorraine said, "This is indeed something that only I can do."

Everyone has their own tasks and then leaves separately.

Only Hill and the dead Fury were left in the ward.

After a long time, a researcher knocked on the door and entered, came to Hill's side, and whispered: "Deputy Director, now the Horus Project..."

Hill said without hesitation: "Keep pushing forward, and the research speed must be faster than before!"

The researcher received an affirmative answer and said goodbye.

Hill closed his eyes and murmured: "Director, you are right, humans are really too fragile!"
