In Washington, D.C., in his office near the White House, the mysterious man Pierce frowned, trying to cope with the trouble in front of him.But after thinking about it, there is no good solution to the current predicament.It was a great idea to use Merlin's hand to clean up the remnants of Red Skull's power, but once Merlin's blade was aimed at his own men, it felt very uncomfortable.Hydra is a secret organization, and as Merlin said, hiding in the dark is their greatest strength, and once exposed to the sun, this large and bloated organization can only become a living target.On top of that, after Lady Hydra, the most powerful spellcaster within Hydra, was also defeated at Merlin's hands, Pierce couldn't use higher-end combat power to deal with Merlin.This head-to-head duel of high-end forces is not Hydra's traditional advantage.And if nothing is done, and Merlin, who is ruthless, and Fury, who has a lot of resources and is very keen, continue to cooperate with each other in this way, the other factions of Hydra will definitely be drawn into this revenge war.The fighting continued to expand, and that was not what Pierce wanted to see.After all, the other branches weren't as stubborn as the remnants of the Red Skull, and they and Pierce's faction had always worked well with each other.At the end of the day, there isn't that much idealism in the world of adults, especially these old men.Everyone joins the same organization more for profit, power, wealth, status, and so on.As for the "new order" that His Excellency Pierce always talks about, it will also be a new order that meets the interests and needs of most Hydra members.Once those people find themselves at risk of being targeted by a dangerous assassin walking in the shadows, it's hard to say whether they can continue to be proud of being Hydra.This huge interest group, which was formed by His Excellency the mysterious man, is also likely to fall apart because of this.He got up a little irritably and walked around the office, trying to find a good solution, until a few minutes later, Pierce's eyes fell on a file on the coffee table.That's the progress report that Fury just submitted about Project Avengers.It was a plan that Fury had been advocating since the Kree invasion, and it seemed to Pierce a little whimsical.Not to mention whether the superheroes who have been called up can fulfill Fury's expectations of them, let's talk about the complex issue of human nature.To be an Avenger means to take on a terrible and heavy mission, and it means to rush into battle before danger comes.Heroes are also human beings, they can also be afraid, they can also burn out, not to mention, strong individual power often pursues freedom and status that matches strength, which is difficult for Fury to provide to those heroes.For all the reasons mentioned above, Pierce has not paid much attention to promoting this plan.But now, it suddenly occurred to Pierce that, perhaps, it was not a bad thing to have a superhero team under the direct management of the World Security Council.He narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, sat down on the couch, and picked up the report.After flipping through a few pages, a vague idea popped into his mind."
As long as there is an introduction, a piece of evidence, there will be a lot of 'heroes' who will jump out to help me solve this problem...
The premise is that they have to be good enough to fight, and they have to have weaknesses that can be controlled..."
A twinkle flashed in Pierce's eyes, and he rubbed his chin and whispered, "Hmm...
Perhaps, it is feasible. ”Moments later, a phone call came to Fury."
Fury, prepare a speech about the 'Avengers' as quickly as possible."
Pierce said to his subordinates, who had fought with him on the battlefields of the Vietnam War: "I will convene an internal meeting of the World Security Council in the next few days, and I will give you plenty of time to explain to the councillors the idea of the Avengers and its structure." ”"Huh?
Pierce, haven't you always felt that there was something flawed in this plan?
”Fury on the other end of the phone asked suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly switch to supporting it?"
”"Ah, this time, that time."
Pierce replied with a smile: "I looked at the report of the Half-Demon incident a few days ago, and our Merlin Kid and those superhumans in his department performed very well, ending the trouble in the fastest time, which made me see the feasibility of the Avenger plan." ”"In the face of the crisis, we must have enough options, and the Avengers project may be the hole card for our Jedi comeback.So I'm going to give this plan a chance.But Fury, you see, the other directors are not as patient as I am.So once this plan is passed, you have to let them see the benefits in the shortest possible time. ”"I mean, we find some 'goodies' that catch their eye."
Pierce flicked his fingers, and he said calmly, "How's the search going near Greenland?"
Haven't found any trace of our captain yet?
”"It's slow, Pierce."
Fury said helplessly: "The environment is harsh and sparsely populated, and it is very expensive to conduct a large-scale search there, and I can't mobilize more resources to find someone who has been missing for decades." ”"This won't work, Fury.Since we decide to do one thing, try to do the best we can!
I'll solve the problem of funding, you don't have to worry. ”Pierce said in a deep voice, "Just send more reliable people there, and be sure to bring back our captain in the shortest possible time!"
He was a flag in the hearts of the people during World War II, and now, we need him to be a flag again!
”"One side represents...
Banner of Justice!
”"I see, Pierce, I'll speed things up."
Hanging up Fury's phone, Pierce's inner worry eased a little."
But the Avengers plan alone is not enough, this plan takes time after all."
Pierce leaned back on the couch, rubbing his forehead and thinking about the resources available to him at the moment, and after a few moments, a new idea appeared before him.He walked briskly to his desk, reached open the drawer, and pulled out a quaint notebook from it.It was a codex left by his father, and it contained many secrets of the Hydra.Pierce flips through the pages as he tries to find a new enemy for Merlin and Fury, one that has something to do with Hydra and doesn't affect his base."
There are a few that are eligible."
Pierce looked at the notebook, he sat down in his chair, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "We're going to go deeper into the darkness, and it's going to take time...
Merlin's vengeful-driven samurai also needed a new target, an enemy strong enough to keep him fighting for a long time. ”"It's a bit hard to choose, and this kind of splashing of black water can't be detected by them.""
And how do I turn Merlin's gaze to those guys?
It's going to have to be planned. ”"Let's wait for the opportunity...
It will always come. ”——————————————— "Hi, Merlin!
”With a cheerful call, little Daisy, who was wearing a denim suit and a decent cowboy hat, rushed to Merlin with a cheer, and in the middle of a cheer, she was held in Merlin's arms, spun around in place, and was placed on the ground again.It was full of children, and they were dressed up to look like they were having a festival."
Where's your mom and dad?"
Merlin crouched beside little Daisy, reached out and hooked her nose, and he said to the child, "Are they here today?"
”"Hmm."
Daisy nodded, pointing to the adults behind her who were talking to Father Paul, and she said, "Dad is there chatting with the priest, Mom is resting in the church, she doesn't like crowded places."
I also saw Brother Eric and Sister Charlie, and the two of them were hiding in the church and kissing. ”Some of the precocious children covered their eyes, and she laughed and said, "They are not ashamed, haha." ”"Well, leave them alone, they're bad kids."
Merlin reached out and patted Daisy's head, he stood up and introduced the child with a big hat and a covered face behind him to Daisy: "Daisy, this is my sister, Raven. ”"Hello, Raven."
Daisy politely waved at the cold Raven, but Raven remained in her original position as if she hadn't heard it, standing alone in the corner."
Raven!"
Merlin accentuated her tone, and Raven raised her head a little impatiently, glared at Merlin, and then looked at Daisy, who said to the girl in front of her her in a voice that was so flat that there was no emotion, "Hello, my name is Raven. ”"Wow, you're so pretty."
Daisy saw Raven's eyes and her face, her eyes widened, she walked up to Raven, reached out and took Raven's hand, she said, "Why are your hands so cold?"
Is she sick?
Merlin. ”Daisy looked back at Merlin, who shrugged her shoulders and said, "Well, Raven has been really unwell lately, but I would prefer that she can find a good friend, like you." ”"Uh-huh."
Daisy nodded vigorously as she said to Merlin, "I'll be good friends with Raven." ”"Then I'll be relieved."
Merlin bent down and patted Daisy on the head, he looked at his watch, and said to Daisy, "Your sister Elsa is going to pick up Matt, and little Ava will come with her Uncle Bill in a while, and I'm going to pick up my little nephew Peter now, so I'll hand Raven over to you, and you're going to take care of her for me, okay?"
Daisy. ”"There you go."

Daisy waved at Merlin, she grabbed her calfay hat and said to Merlin, "I'll take care of her, that's the promise." ”Merlin nodded, and he walked to the exit of the fundraiser, greeting people he knew, who had lived in Hell's Kitchen for several years, and was familiar with the people around him.After watching Merlin leave, Daisy turned her head to look at Raven, the smile on her face was all gone, and the little girl crossed her waist and said to the expressionless Raven in a huff, "Don't you like Merlin?"
”Raven glanced at Daisy, and she asked with interest, "Why do you call him brother?"
Judging by the age of the two of you, you should call him uncle. ”"You care about me!"
Daisy snorted, and the image of the good girl completely disappeared at this moment, and she said to Raven fiercely: "You have to be nice to Merlin, he is a good man, you are not allowed to be so rude to him!"
”"You care about me!"
Raven replied in the same way as Daisy, much to Daisy's displeasure.This kid has been living alone in Hell's Kitchen for months, and she is not the kind of girl who has no hands to restrain a chicken, and her expression of anger is very direct.She pushed Raven to the ground, Raven subconsciously wanted to fight back with magic, but the problem is that her current black and white magic has been sealed, although she grew up in Azaras, her physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary children, but Daisy is also born inhuman, although she has not yet transformed, but her physical fitness is also not weak, the two girls are screaming and tearing together, and there is no one around to stop them, just a joke between children.Ten minutes later, when Merlin returned to the fundraising site with his sister and brother-in-law in his arms, he saw two girls in disheveled clothes, with disheveled hair and scratches on their faces.Eric, who has a headache, hugs Daisy, who is like a little monkey, and Charlie grabs the arm of an angry Raven to prevent the two children from touching again, but the two of them still glaring at each other with their eyes, as if they are rolling in the grass.Ava in a black dress and Matt in sunglasses sat on a chair on the side, Ava excitedly told the quiet Matt about the two children's fight, she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic."
Well, it's Peter."
Merlin hugged his little nephew, and he turned back to Mei behind him and said, "I really plan to send Raven to you for a while, sister, this child has a strange temper, maybe you can change her a little." ”"I don't have time, brother."
May said to Merlin with some regret: "I've been helping out in the community welfare club recently, and I'm going to officially join there to help those in need, so just taking care of Peter is already very difficult." ”"Yes, Merlin."
Ben also reached out and patted Merlin on the shoulder, and he said, "Raven is your sister, I believe you can get along in the end, you have such a good temper, you see, the children in this orphanage like you very much, Raven will definitely accept you." ”"She's not like any other child."
Merlin looked at Raven, who was gradually calming down under Charlie's reassurance, and said, "Raven has been through some terrible things, she has been closing herself, I really don't know if I can do it." ”"You can, brother."
Mei reached out and patted her brother's arm, she smiled and said, "You can definitely do it, you have a special power in you, Merlin, it makes you a better person." ”"I've seen it, and I'm sure Raven will see it eventually
