Marvel’s Speedsters

Heading east from Capitol Hill, in the northeast of Washington, there is a neat and beautiful small residential area.

These houses were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most of them are rows, occasionally you can see single-family, the room area is not very large, the facilities are also very old, compared to those luxury apartments or spacious houses in New York are much cramped, but the rent is quite high, with the annual salary of 170,000 US dollars in the Senate and House of Representatives, in the capital Washington area can only be regarded as the upper middle income, and a three-bedroom house here is usually more than four thousand dollars a month, people who do not have a rich family can not afford it. However, because it is quite close to the place of work and can walk to the Capitol building, many lawmakers prefer to rent a house at a high price to live in this area.

Senator Stern also lives in this neighborhood, and his district is far south in Alabama, on the Gulf of Mexico, where his historic estate on the outskirts of Montgomery, the state’s capital, is his real home, with its palatial living room, spacious and comfortable bedrooms and well-furnished courtyards, where he spends some time each month, except that he must stay at least three nights a week in Washington because of the dates of meetings at least four days a week.

Although the two places were exhausting, Stern was proud of his position from the bottom of his heart, because he was the kind of big man who could influence national strategy, and even the president and consortium leaders could not ignore his opinion.

Just like recently, he was about to organize an offensive to launch a sniper attack on a world-famous large enterprise, which was not only the demand of the organization behind him, but also deeply reflected his own will—- Stern loved this beautiful | feeling of wantonly tearing up other people’s efforts and trampling on the dignity of others.

“Mr. Congressman, do you still have to go to work in the office so late?” A neighbor walking with a dog passed by nearby and happened to see a well-dressed Stern going out accompanied by an assistant.

“There is a bit of a problem with the voters, I have to go and prepare and make a gesture tomorrow.” Stern smiled kindly, no one could see the darkness in his heart, let alone know that this person was actually one of Hydra’s deepest hidden crooks.

But this neighbor is also a political animal and will not be easily fooled by the illusions he unleashes on the surface.

“It won’t be a special voter, I heard you recently had a hot fight with a 23-year-old hot | | chick.” The man blinked his eyes deliberately and teased ambiguously|

“She probably wanted to be a journalist… Who would have paid attention to this at that time, she scratched my back so much. Stern laughed equally ambiguously| with a “you know” look on his face.

Saying goodbye to acquaintances, the senator and his aides went to the office building not far from Congress, climbed floor by elevator, and finally stopped on the sixteenth floor of the Ding Department.

Leaving his entourage outside, Stern entered the office alone |, intending to sort out the paperwork needed for tomorrow’s meeting again. Soon, he will join forces with various allies to launch a motion against the cutting-edge laboratory, fighting to dismember this suspected monopoly start-up and sharing the benefits with partners.

These plans did not go well, and the previous attempts had failed due to various accidents, and this time he must not be perfunctory by the same goal, which would undermine the confidence of the senator among the many supporters, so he deliberately used the accusations against Stark Industries as a cover to confuse others, but in fact secretly gathered information about the laboratory, and if necessary, he did not hesitate to use means to concoct several disturbing accidents to arouse public suspicion of the cutting-edge laboratory.

Although political struggles rarely require the direct use of pistols and daggers as weapons, there is no shortage of wails and gore beneath the glorious avenue that Stern walks, which he has already played quite well, not to mention the hydra to rely on.

After flipping through a few pages of documents, a breeze blew by, and Stern was about to stand up and close the window, when suddenly the whole person was stunned.

In the chair in front of him sat his colleague, another senator, Kelly.

“Kelly! How did you end up here? Seeing the congressman who was opposed to him, Stern was taken aback, and his right hand subconsciously reached into the drawer under the table.

But soon he realized that something was wrong, Kelly’s eyes were scattered and chaotic, and he couldn’t find a fixed focus at all, completely different from his usual temperament known for being tough and shrewd.

“What happened, was it some conspiracy Kelly, or was someone else trying to do something to me?” Stern’s fat face twitched, his breathing became thick | heavy, a layer of fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his oily forehead, and countless sinister conjectures flashed in his mind at high speed at the same time. Finding that Kelly was still unresponsive, he looked around alertly, and was about to quietly press the alarm button when an unfamiliar hand silently reached out from behind his back and gently landed on his shoulder, mercilessly interrupting his attempt.

The blue light flashed in the void, and Ross stepped out of the darkness and calmly walked to the front of the stage.

“Hello, Senator.” He smiled and greeted Stern, like a guest who came to visit the door when he was bored, and without waiting for the owner to chill, he naturally sat on the sofa behind Kelly, while pouring himself a cup of black coffee that Stern had just brewed.

With the dim light emitted by the table lamp, the two eyes met in the air.

“How did you get in and what happened to Kelly?” Stern got up embarrassed, his heart seemed to tighten his clockwork, and a wave of anxiety rose in Xiong.

Through the afterlight, he silently glanced at Kelly, and the confused face that was almost blank made the senator’s heart clench.

Kelly looked like someone had sucked his soul out, leaving only a baby-like empty body.

“Why be so nervous, Mr. Senator.” Ross gently lowered the cup, and then looked at the councillor in front of him for a moment. “We all know what your ongoing plan is about, we didn’t have time to sit down and communicate before, today we finally have a chance to correct this mistake, I think we can have a good talk.”

“What to talk about, what price to buy my political ethics, young man, don’t think too simple about politics.” The senator spoke righteously, like the conscience of the United States, but secretly pondered whether to temporarily retreat for security.

“So there is no negotiation, it seems that I ran for nothing.” Ross spread out his hands, his upper body easily reclining on the back of the sofa, and his pupils flashed with an imperceptible light.

“I know you have some power, but if you want to threaten me, you have the wrong opponent…” Stern stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.

In front of him, small blue lightning gradually appeared around Ross, and the dazzling electric light swirled out, flickering in the dimly lit office.

Seeing this scene, the senator’s tongue | suddenly knotted, and after a period of shock, things that were previously incomprehensible suddenly became clear.

“You killed Malik?” Stern exclaimed.

“That’s right, it’s me.” Ross slowly sat up straight and looked down at him playfully. “It was also I who snatched the Cosmic Cube and beat up your ally Alexander Pierce by the way. In addition to this, I attacked Asgard, expanded the Zitari invasion, and sent the president to hell along with the previous cabinet—- today, finally your turn. ”

Stern shuddered, the nameless cold attacked his body violently like a menacing malaria, he stared at Ross blankly, his right hand instinctively mooped in the drawer, trying to find a miniature pistol to add a little courage to himself, but the small thing that was usually within reach seemed to escape from the owner’s side, and he moo around but always couldn’t moo.

Just as his mood continued to sink, a low and pleasant female voice quietly sounded next to him.

“Do you need this?”

Following that voice, the familiar handle of the gun was delivered to the hand, and the senator instinctively took it like a dream, and then pointed the muzzle of the black hole hole at Ross’s forehead.

Ross smiled slightly, ignored him, and continued to taste the coffee in the cup.

Then Stern reacted, turning his head to look at the beautiful and deep face beside him, and the long red hair that reflected in the light of the stage, and he gradually recalled that this was Jean Reary, who had been questioned in Congress on the mutant registration bill.

“You want to kill me?” The senator woke up like a dream, he looked at Kelly, then at Ross and Jean, and staggered back a few steps.

Out of the lighting range of the desk lamp, the light in the office was unusually dim, Stern touched the chair in the retreat, lost his balance and fell to the ground, pulled down the coffee table next to him, vases and phones and other debris fell one after another, making a loud noise, but the assistant outside never moved, like the whole room out of the world and fell into the boundless abyss.

Looking at the embarrassment of the big man, Ross nodded to Jean, the phoenix woman pursed her lips and smiled, and waved her hand at the same time, and Kelly, who had a demented expression, slowly stood up.

“Nope! I’m a senator, we can cooperate, don’t kill me! Seeing Kelly approaching dumbfounded, Stern suddenly erupted into a suppressed roar.

His voice was filled with despair, fear and unwillingness, like ordinary people who had been forced to kneel under him for years.

“Rest assured, I don’t intend to take your life, for a public figure, just hurting his body will not distract from his influence, so I intend to turn you into a sinner, and a senator who murders his colleagues will probably not have another chance to make a comeback, so that your political life will be ruined and my purpose will be satisfied.”

Ross’s voice echoed through the silent office, and then under Stern’s panicked gaze, “Kelly” curled up and slowly recharged, then slammed open the floor-to-ceiling window and jumped out of the sixteenth floor in the air.

The crisp sound of glass shattering sounded by the window, accompanied by countless crystal fragments, and a body was quickly engulfed by the deep night.

This is a clone of Senator Kelly, and from now on, the witch is finally freed from this dangerous identity and fully integrated into the new character.

“You can try to reveal my secret to someone, but it doesn’t matter, you know the consequences. Anyway, a senator fell out of your office, and then spend the rest of your life in prison repenting, when you have a good memory of who you were dealing with, and if needed, I will send you a case of soap every year. ”

The voice of ridicule did not fall, the electric light flashed in the room, the two Ross disappeared, and darkness once again shrouded the office.

Stern collapsed down next to his chair in sweat, never able to break out of his boundless fear, and not long after, the guard outside the window sounded a grim alarm bell, followed by a rush of | footsteps in the corridor getting closer and closer.

“Senator, are you okay?”

“Open the door and let us in!”

With the shouts outside the door, Stern’s eyes darkened, and he finally fainted.
