Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 126 Ronin Barton!

The arrow shot across the sky like a shining laser.

At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to slow down, everything was silent, and no one except Matt could see the arrival of the arrow.

He didn't know who the arrow came from, and he didn't have time to think about who suddenly attacked at this moment.

Apart from using his super hearing to determine the trajectory of the arrow, Matt didn't even have time to open his mouth to remind him.

The arrow came from afar with a sharp breath, as if it had crossed the flow of time, giving people a special sense of beauty that is difficult to describe in words.

The two high-speed shadows gradually overlapped, like two intersecting lines that gradually met. Although one was fast and the other was slow, the arrow seemed to have eyes. It took a strike-after attitude and quietly intercepted the silver figure's path.

In the extreme speed state, the Super Skrull who has obtained the superpowers of Quicksilver is receiving all kinds of complicated information all the time.

At the same time, the whole world was extremely quiet and peaceful, and everything around him seemed to be still, giving him a sense of self-confidence that he was able to control the world.

Perhaps this is the problem that every speedster has to face. When they get used to the tranquility of the world at high speed, few people would think that there would be special obstacles on their way forward.

When everything around them is moving extremely slowly, speedsters will often judge the other party's next move based on how things change. This is their habit and cannot be changed.

But because of this, the things they have to think about and judge are much more extensive than ordinary people. Under such extreme conditions, even the brain of a speedster cannot quickly process the changing routes of all the surrounding objects.

So when he found an arrow suddenly appeared in his field of vision and came straight towards the path in front of him, the Super Skrull's pupils slowly dilated at this moment.

He had no idea where this thing came from. If it was a bullet, he would have noticed an object moving at that speed in an instant, but an arrow - its speed was not enough to warrant his extra attention.

When he sensed the threat, the fake Quicksilver subconsciously prepared to stop.

If it was the real Pietro he wouldn't have done that, but alas, the Super Skrull had no memory of Pietro's years of training for super speed in the Hydra base.

His subconscious action also made him overlook a key issue, which is that for a speedster, once he starts running, it is not easy to stop.

Not only did the sudden deceleration fail to free him from the threat, but it caused him to lose control of his steps in an instant, and he staggered and fell forward.

It was this brief pause that allowed him to avoid a direct collision with the arrow. However, before he could be happy, the 'Stark' logo on the arrow made his face freeze.

Without any thought, the Super Skrull already knew the true purpose of this arrow.

Its owner never intended to hurt himself with an arrow, and there was no need for it to do so. When the arrow was close enough to him, it already posed a threat to him.

At this moment, the speedster's superpowers became the Super Skrull's nightmare. The almost frozen time allowed him to clearly see the explosion of the arrow.

From the cracks that appeared on the shell to the strong flames that came out of the gaps, every detail was extremely real to the eyes of the Super Skrull.

The next second—

boom! !

A violent explosion swept across in an instant, and the violent air waves and the repulsive force created instantly blew away everything around.

Daredevil Matt only had time to raise his hands to block, and then a strong wind came directly in front of him, blowing his cheeks painfully.

Jessica Jones and Natasha, who were relatively far away, were also startled by the sudden explosion. They had no idea where the explosion came from.

Before everyone could come to their senses, they saw a silver figure tumbling out from the black smoke of the explosion, leaving a trail of dozens of meters on the ground before slowly stopping.

It was not until this time that the heroes present saw the speedster's true appearance.

Exactly as Natasha guessed, the super Skrull simulated existence was none other than Wanda's brother Pietro, but he was now in an extremely miserable state.

The silver hair was burnt black by the explosion, and half of his face was burned by the flames, which showed that he had just plunged into the center of the explosion.

However, for a speedster, these injuries are not enough to make him lose his combat effectiveness. Every cell in the body is rapidly repairing the injuries. Only a few seconds of pause are enough for him to recover from the shock of the explosion.

"Kill him quickly!"

Daredevil shouted loudly. Although he didn't know who helped them at this time, he knew that now was the best time to kill the other party.

Without his reminder, Black Widow Natasha had already taken action.

But the next moment, Natasha's raised widow's sting stopped in mid-air.

I saw a Super Skrull struggling to get up next to the ruins in the distance. Just as he made a move, his thigh was stepped on by a foot.

"Didn't you notice?"

The slightly hoarse voice coupled with the emotionless tone made the Super Skrull's already unclear brain slightly stunned.

He slowly raised his head and saw a silver blade coming towards him.

With a flash of the knife, the huge green head flew out, bounced twice on the ground and stopped steadily. There was still a trace of confusion and surprise on the face of the super Skrull.

The sudden change made everyone present quiet down.

Looking at the sudden appearance, Matt hesitated slightly, while Jessica Jones turned to look at Rocket Raccoon, but saw a hint of doubt on his face.

He was a man wearing a black hooded uniform. He had his back to the crowd, holding a knife in his right hand and a bow in his left hand. On his back was a quiver full of arrows.

Among all the people present, only Natasha's eyes showed a slight change. Looking at the man standing upright in the distance, Natasha slowly put down her raised pen and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Patton."

When the man heard Natasha's voice, his body trembled, then he put the bow in his right hand and took off the mask on his head with his left hand.

Turning around slowly, a somewhat weathered man with white hair appeared in everyone's sight. He was another veteran of the Avengers - Hawkeye.

Noticing the white hair on Barton's head, Natasha's lips trembled slightly.

In fact, as early as when she returned to Earth from space, she went to the demographic department to investigate Patton's condition.

When she learned that Barton's entire family was on the extinction list, she couldn't even imagine how Barton would feel.

Originally, she wanted to look for Barton, but the new Avengers base was very busy, and the Skrulls restricted her with various reasons, which made Natasha unable to leave at the time.

Until now, seeing Barton's hair turn white overnight, Natasha felt as if her heart had been severely tortured.

Barton slowly raised his head with a complicated expression.

"Where have you been all this time?" Natasha was relieved that Barton was still alive, but soon she greeted him with concern.

Barton did not answer, he just stared at Natasha quietly.

It seemed that he was unwilling to speak, or maybe for some other reason, Patton was in a very bad mood right now, giving people a strange feeling that no one could get close to him.

"Be careful, he might be a fake Skrull." Rocket Raccoon warned, and then he saw Jessica Jones's helpless look. ".What's wrong, I'm just being cautious."

Rocket's words did not stop Natasha. She quickly came to Barton and stared straight into his eyes.

"I have been unable to contact you."

"I know"

Patton finally spoke again.

Perhaps this is the tacit understanding developed from years of working together. In just two sentences, they have guessed each other's psychological activities.

Natasha did not continue asking questions on this topic. She just nodded slightly and smiled.

At this time, except for Daredevil who remained on alert, everyone else also came over.

Looking at Barton who came to the rescue in time, Rocket Raccoon couldn't help but ask.

"How did you know our plan and appear here?"

After hearing Rocket's question, Natasha and Jessica Jones also looked at Barton. They all wanted to know why Barton, who had been out of contact, came here at this time.

As a veteran of the Avengers, it is not surprising that Barton noticed the Skrull invasion after retirement, but it is surprising enough that the other party was able to track them all the way to the Skrull base.

You know, everyone discovered this place with the help of Su Ze's special abilities. Patton is alone, how could he find out so much information so quickly.

"I don't know your plan. I came here only because I accepted Fisk's bounty mission."

Barton answered calmly, and then spoke again when Rocket Raccoon hesitated to speak.

"It was Fisk who told me the existence of the Skrulls and the information about this place. He has been keeping an eye on these green monsters for a long time."

"Fisk?" Daredevil Matt was stunned.

But he reacted quickly, shook his head slightly, and then shouted quickly to everyone.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. The captain still needs our help!"

This woke everyone up, and they came to their senses at once. They were safe now, but Captain America and Iron Man were still in combat.

Even with the assistance of countless drone swarms, it was still too dangerous to face the reinforced Skrull army led by three Asgardian warriors.

However, Patton spoke calmly about this.

"Don't worry, I'm not here alone."

After a pause, he continued.

"After learning about the situation here, I knew I couldn't complete this task alone, so I went to find an old friend to help."

The words fell.

It seemed to confirm Patton's words.

Suddenly, a loud thunder-like explosion erupted from an unknown factory building in the distance, followed by a roar.
