Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone.

Adoption has legal effect, and adopted children also have inheritance rights.

There is no foster care.

Skye nodded upon hearing this: "When I returned to the foster home, the nun said that you had been adopted, but she didn't say which family adopted you. Otherwise, I would have recognized you immediately."

If she had known that Kyle was adopted by the Ametra family, she would definitely have recognized Mike as the Kyle she knew the moment she saw his file.

Hearing Skye's remark, Mike smiled and said, "It's not too late to recognize me now, Mike, Mike Ametra."

Skye looked at Mike, who was extending his right hand to her again, and happily shook it: "Skye, just Skye, isn't it a nice name? I chose it for myself after I came of age."

Mike, of course, wouldn't spoil the mood: "Indeed, it's a very nice name."

Coulson, sitting to the side, felt like an outsider.

He looked at Mike and Skye, who were staring at each other with obvious desire to say something, and couldn't help but cough.

Mike and Skye both turned their attention to Coulson.

Coulson looked at Mike sitting across from him: "So, you just figured out I wasn't a traveler from Minnesota?"

Mike met Coulson's gaze and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Then--

He spread his hands!

……

42. Friendship is friendship!

Please.

"real or fake?"

"A black suit, but not the kind you see everywhere."

"It's custom-made."

"A tiger's mouth has calluses."

"You were subtly probing what I've been doing these past two days."

"I'm not stupid."

“A fool can’t get a CPA license in New York State.”

"And you're not the first person to be interested in my itinerary."

Under Coulson's gaze, Mike, with an expression that seemed to say, "Do I look like an idiot to you?", spread his hands and meticulously pointed out the flaws in Coulson's eyes: "Who was standing there last time, Sharon Carter? You must be one of them too, right? You're also from S.H.I.E.L.D."

Coulson listened to Mike recount his flaws and finally reveal his identity, then fell silent once again.

After Mike finished speaking, he looked at Skye again, lowered his voice, and asked with a hint of surprise and exaggeration, "S.H.I.E.L.D.? Really? You've joined S.H.I.E.L.D. too?"

Skye raised her eyebrows. Meeting an old friend from childhood, what could be happier than sharing her greatest achievement with an old friend? "Yeah, pretty impressive, right? And you, Kyle?"

Rather than calling Mike by his current name, she subconsciously called him by the name he used when they were in the foster home.

Mike smiled and said, "I graduated from college smoothly and am now a CPA in New York State."

Skye gave Mike a thumbs-up with an exaggerated expression.

Mike chuckled, then spoke to Skye, "So you came to see me this time because of the Arctic. I already spoke to Sharon Carter about it."

Although he discovered that Skye was an old friend from his childhood foster home.

but--

Friendship is friendship.

Mike repeated the same thing.

He did not intentionally conceal his identity; if someone found out, he would admit it, but he had no obligation to satisfy other people's curiosity.

and also!

He hadn't even satisfied the curiosity of his half-sister Heidi, so naturally he wouldn't reveal himself in front of Skye.

If he tells Skye but not his half-sister Heidi, where does that leave Heidi?

So Mike continued performing.

Skye shook her head, glanced at Coulson first, and then said to Mike, "We were investigating a case nearby, and we found out that you were in Kelso Hills at the time, so we thought we'd come and find you to get some information."

Mike nodded: "I was at Kelso Hills the night before last, but the reason I went there was also because of this... By the way, sir, the name you just mentioned wasn't fake, so what's your real name?"

Uncle?

Coulson's lips twitched slightly as he heard Mike address him, but he didn't argue. He extended his right hand to Mike and reintroduced himself: "Phil, Phil Coulson, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Seeing this, Mike shook hands and introduced himself again, then said, "My sister Heidi is also with S.H.I.E.L.D., so I know that. I won't hide it from you, but you always seem to like to use secrecy as an excuse. Last time you asked me about the Arctic, I told you, but then you didn't tell me what happened. It's the same this time. If you want me to tell you something, at least let me know what happened first."

Coulson smiled slightly as he listened to the complaints in Mike's words.

"Sorry, this is confidential."

"machine……"

Mike's lips twitched subtly under Coulson's gaze.

next second.

Mike shook his head and smiled helplessly, ignoring Coulson and looking at Skye beside him, complaining, "Change jobs, Mary. This job is so stifling it'll give you internal injuries."

He didn't call her Skye by her childhood name either.

Skye met Mike's gaze and gave an apologetic smile: "Kyle, Agent Coulson was just doing his job. He didn't mean to hide it from you. You should know that."

Mike's sister, Heidi Amedra, is also with S.H.I.E.L.D., and is the head of Commander Victoria Hand's intelligence analysis team in the New York center, a fact that Skye, Coulson, and others know.

That's why Commander Victoria Hand's SHIELD agents were sent to inquire about Mike's whereabouts in the Arctic.

After Skye finished speaking, she took her phone out of her pocket, pulled up a photo, and handed it to Mike: "Kyle, do you know where this is?"

Mike took the phone and glanced at it.

"Isn't this the nuclear bomb town deep in the Mojave Desert? What's wrong with it?"

"Did you go there the day before yesterday and yesterday?"

"No."

Mike shook his head, then looked up and said, "I wanted to go, but I didn't because of martial law."

Skye and Coulson exchanged a glance upon hearing this, then looked at Mike.

"Martial law?"

"Ah."

Mike nodded: "The taxi driver said that he thought I was going to the Mojave Desert just to go to this nuclear town. He told me that martial law was in effect in the nuclear town and that soldiers were driving away vehicles that approached. So I didn't go. I was originally going there specifically to see the David Persephone magic show. The nuclear town was not on my itinerary at all. I only went to the Mojave Desert because the David Persephone magic show was postponed by a day."

After saying that.

Mike seemed to realize something and looked at Skye: "So it's about what happened in Nuclear Bomb Town, but why are you looking for me about something that happened in Nuclear Bomb Town? I've never been there."

Skye looked at Mike, who looked confused, and said, "But your satellite photos appeared on the computers in the nuclear town."

Mike blinked.

"Satellite photos?"

"This one."

Skye took the phone back from Mike, looked through it, and then handed it back to Mike.

Mike saw the photo in Skye's hand of himself sitting on Kelso Hill in the same pose as the Buddha of No Heaven, raised an eyebrow, and said to Skye, "You made me look pretty handsome in the photo, don't you think?"

Skye smiled and nodded upon hearing this: "You are indeed quite handsome, but Kyle, they are bad people, and your photo is in their hands. We also found several bodies near Kelso Hill."

Mike was slightly taken aback.

"A corpse?"

"Yes, aren't you curious?"

"..."

Mike frowned, as if he was seriously thinking about something, then looked at Skye, shook his head with a wry smile.

"As I said before, I came here specifically for the magic show."

"Since the magic show was delayed, I went to the Mojave Desert."

"Then I enjoyed the night view there for a while, and then I went back to the hotel."

"As for the body you mentioned, there's also this photo."

"Feel sorry."

"You're curious, and so am I."

"..."

43. One accident, two coincidences!

Coulson has arrived.

Coulson is gone again.

But Skye stayed.

Coulson, who had just emerged from the hotel behind him, glanced back at the hotel, then opened the door of the van in front of him and bent down to sit inside the similarly modified van.

Gemma, who was wearing headphones in the van, handed Coulson a headset as he entered.

Coulson took it and put it in his ear.

moment.

Mike and Skye hadn't seen each other for many years, and their conversation after their happy reunion was clearly seen by Coulson.

Skye talked about how she went to her first foster home and found that the man there was a pervert, so she kicked him and ran away. She then went to several other foster homes until she got her driver's license at sixteen, at which point she moved out of the foster homes and bought a van.
