American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

When Jessica appeared that night, she was in the supermarket and was not photographed by the media outside, so Nick had no idea.

Later, when she subdued Obadiah in Stark's factory, she was quick and retreated before the SHIELD agents appeared, so those people didn't notice her.

Although Tony Stark is a nasty guy, he is not so talkative as to reveal Jessica's information casually, so her identity is still safe for now.

However, Tony Stark had already seen Jessica's appearance and asked Jarvis to take a picture of it. After comparing it on the Internet, he still knew Jessica's identity.

"This girl is actually still a high school student?"

Chapter 735 Ghost

That night, Obadiah was charged with first-degree murder and taken away by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

As a "law-abiding" citizen, Tony Stark naturally couldn't stop them, but he remembered the difficult-to-pronounce name "Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency".

After the agents left, he immediately asked Jarvis to investigate the organization's intelligence, but the information he obtained was somewhat confusing.

Using only conventional means, Jarvis cannot find out more information about the organization, which means that the confidentiality level of this department is very high, at least not enough for Tony Stark to access.

But this only made him more curious.

There was another thing that made her very curious, and that was the identity of "Natalie". She now suspected that the name was fake.

Because after that night, Natalie disappeared from Stark Group. Tony Stark checked and found that her previous information had also disappeared from the Internet.

The person "Natalie" seemed to have disappeared from this world, and even her whereabouts on the Internet disappeared completely, which forced Tony to start thinking about the possibility of conspiracy theories.

But when he connected another person with Natalie, he discovered something else.

"Jessica Jones 18s..."

Compared to "Natalie" whose all information was hidden, the information about the girl who saved him that night was almost completely defenseless. Tony Stark originally just checked it out of a possible danger, but he didn't expect to actually find information about her.

After reading it, he made a decision. He planned to go to the house and ask some questions in person.

But before that, he had another troublesome matter to deal with.

"What did you say your name was? I'm sorry, I'm not very sensitive to men's names."

The man with a smile and a very friendly expression said: "My name is Phil Coulson, Mr. Stark."

He felt different from those serious agents last night, and Tony Stark raised his eyebrows.

He looked at the business card the other party had just handed him and complained, "Hasn't anyone ever told you that your name is too long? Can't you just call it SHIELD?"

"We will humbly accept your suggestions." Phil made an expression as if he was willing to listen to advice, and he always looked like a good guy no matter how Tony provoked him.

He reminded Tony of his savior, Dr. Ethan. Although the two had somewhat different personalities, their temperaments were very similar. They both seemed like good people worthy of respect.

This made Tony restrain his attitude: "Okay, Phil right? What's up? I'm pretty busy right now..."

After losing Obadiah and Natalie, he finally realized how hard it was to manage a large group company. When the board members couldn't contact Obadiah and Natalie, they began to bombard his phone frantically.

Phil was very polite. "Mr. Stark, were you controlling one of the two Iron Men who fought in the city center last night?"

"Iron Man? Iron Man? This name is just so-so..." Tony Stark's attention was a little strange, but he had undoubtedly answered Phil's question affirmatively.

He perked up, "So, Mr. Stark, may I ask if the other driver is Obadiah Stane?"

His question made Tony Stark stunned for a moment, and he blurted out: "Don't you know?"

I've let you take the person away, and you're still asking this kind of question. Are you sure you're not trying to tease me?

But Phil's train of thought was completely on the same channel as his. When he saw Stark's response, he thought that the other party had guessed Natasha's identity, and his heart sank.

But for the sake of the plan, he could only comfort her: "Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Stark, we absolutely have no bad intentions towards you."

Tony didn't comment on this, but his mind was working at high speed. There was a subtle sense of incongruity between what the other party said today and his behavior last night.

Then Phil continued, "In view of the series of riots and horrific incidents caused by Obadiah Stan in the city center, we must detain him, so..."

Tony knew where the sense of incongruity came from. Phil didn't even know that Obadiah was taken away last night?

He began to frown, wondering which group was real and which was fake, Phil or the group from last night.

"Phil, I have a question."

"Excuse me." Phil still had a good attitude.

"How do you prove that you are from this department?"

Phil was speechless for a moment. He had never thought about this problem, and in fact, most of the time he used work credentials from other intelligence departments.

Those documents did have files to check, but he had already said that he was from S.H.I.E.L.D., so if he pulled out documents from other departments now, his credibility would be greatly reduced.

"Phil, I have to tell you that my AI didn't find any information about this department."

This is a lie. In fact, Jarvis has already found some clues, but Tony didn't want to cross the red line so he didn't continue to investigate. But if Phil took the initiative to reveal it, there would be no problem.

The two of them now had some information asymmetry regarding Obadiah, and Tony grasped this accurately, but at the same time, he felt even more strange about this SHIELD.

Could it be that they are divided into different factions?

Phil was silent for a moment before he said, "Could you please wait a moment?"

Tony said it was no problem.

Then he saw Phil walk out the door, make a phone call, say something with a serious face, and only come back in after he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tony crossed his arms unconsciously. He wanted to hear what the other party could say to gain his trust.

Phil sat down and said something that made Tony almost jump up: “Mr. Stark, there is one thing you may not know, your father, Howard Stark, was once one of us.

To be more precise, he was one of our founders. If you want to see the evidence, here is a video your father left behind before he died..."

Tony couldn't hear anything else and just stared at Phil's phone.

At a certain S.H.I.E.L.D. base 250, a figure mysteriously emerged from thin air. When she appeared, her body flickered, as if she would disappear from this world at any time.

"Bill, I can't hold on any longer!"

Seeing this, a dark-skinned man hurried forward and helped the person who was speaking into an enclosed space made entirely of special glass.

Inside, the figure's flickering symptoms gradually disappeared, and she pulled back her mask, revealing a young face with Latino features.

"Ava, are you feeling better?"

"No, I'm not okay at all. How long will this bad situation last?"

Bill couldn't answer, so he could only use his usual words to persuade her: "Hold on a little longer. As long as I complete this algorithm for the quantum field, I can draw enough quantum energy from it to restore you to normal..."

"Bill, forget it. You've said this too many times. Where's Nick Fury? He promised me that he would help me get back to normal!"

Bill's face turned awkward.

Ava, codenamed "Ghost", contracted the symptoms of "quantum anomaly" in an accidental experiment, which caused her to face the risk of disappearing from the real world at any moment.

But because of this, she gained the ability to change her own molecular structure, which allows her to become untouchable when necessary, like a ghost.

When Ava saw Bill's expression, she knew S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attitude. She couldn't help but sneer, "So, he never thought about curing me, right?"

Chapter 736 Invitation

The birth of "Ghost" can be traced back to 1987, the year when Moon Knight was born.

Ava Starr's father, Elias Starr, stole the design drawings of the first generation Ant-Man, Dr. Pym, and conducted an experiment in Argentina.

A quantum anomaly occurred during the experiment, and Elias died on the spot. Ava was irradiated by the quantum field, and while she gained super powers, she also suffered the side effect of disappearing from the real world at any time.

At this time, S.H.I.E.L.D. came to her and recruited Ava as an agent. They designed a battle suit for her so that she could better exert her abilities and promised to help her cure the quantum anomaly.

But as time went on, Ava felt more and more that SHIELD was just using her abilities and had no intention of curing her.

In fact, Bill was vaguely aware of this, but he still had a glimmer of hope.

Bill once worked with Dr. Pym and developed the "Goliath" project together, which was the prototype of Ant-Man's giant ability.

He felt sympathy and guilt for Ava's experience. The guilt was that the blueprints stolen by Elias were actually about the Goliath project.

So he adopted Ava after Elias' death and brought her to join S.H.I.E.L.D. He is the expert in the quantum field second only to Pym.

Over the years, Bill has been working to restore Ava's body, but with little success, and the help promised by S.H.I.E.L.D. never materialized.

For S.H.I.E.L.D., Ava, who has quantum anomaly symptoms, is obviously a very useful tool, and the irreversible symptoms are conducive to their control over Ava.

"Bill, let's leave SHIELD." Ava suddenly said something that surprised Bill.

Her expression was calm: "I don't want to be a tool of S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore. Even if I die, I want to die cleanly."

Bill's heart ached, but after thinking it over, he agreed.

"If that's the case, we'll have to live in anonymity from now on, and future research will become much more difficult."

"I do not care."

Since Ava said so, Bill had no choice but to start planning how to leave S.H.I.E.L.D.

Fortunately, Ava's situation is special. S.H.I.E.L.D. probably believes that she cannot live a normal life without them, so there is no one to manage her specifically. This task is what Bill does on a daily basis.

Relying on Ava's ability, the two of them disappeared from S.H.I.E.L.D. without anyone noticing, and also disappeared were Bill's research results and a large amount of equipment over the years.

This matter was quickly reported to Nick Fury. Seeing this, he just frowned and remained silent for a long time.

“This is defection!”

Maria Hill then asked, "Do we need to issue a warrant for their arrest?"

Nick wanted to agree, but he put his hand down halfway.

"Does Dr. Bill's research data have a backup?"

"Of course, we have always had people secretly make backups."

"Forget it, let them be." Nick Fury shook his head and didn't intend to pursue the matter further.

He actually knew in his heart that he was a little bit in the wrong in this matter, and he did intend to suppress Ava and make her continue to work for S.H.I.E.L.D.

After all, an agent who can appear and disappear at will will have trouble sleeping and eating if he is no longer under the control of S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, over the years, Ava's quantum anomaly symptoms have become more and more serious and have begun to affect the completion rate of the mission. Nick believes that she may have reached her limit.

Under such circumstances, Nick was not surprised at all that she chose to leave S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although he claims that he is not a good person, there is no need to force people to death. What if the other party becomes desperate?

You have to know that SHIELD has no way to deal with Ghost's abilities. The bullets can only pass through the opponent's body, making it difficult to catch people in this situation.

Hill heard his words, nodded, and said nothing.

They conducted internal psychological assessments on Ava and Bill, and found that the two posed little threat to society, and no major disturbance would occur even if they were released into the outside world.

This is also proven in the original movie. Before the plot of "Ant-Man 2", the ghost had indeed never caused any disturbances, and it can be said that he was very well-behaved.

If Ava's body could not bear it, she might not reappear as a "ghost".

But all this is based on the premise that no one disturbs them. In this world, besides S.H.I.E.L.D., there is another person who knows Ghost Woman's situation.

Dane knew that Bill Foster would later become a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, so he asked Cortana to keep an eye on the surveillance here early on so that he would be able to know as soon as the other party appeared.

In Berkeley, Bill and Ava temporarily moved into a temporary apartment.

Ava was covered in a white hoodie, with no skin exposed. After coming out of S.H.I.E.L.D., she felt a little confused.

Bill comforted her: "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. We can still continue our previous research here, but the progress may be slower."

Seeing that she seemed a little puzzled, Bill explained, "I asked some friends in academia to help me find a job as a professor of quantum physics at the University of California, I will continue my research in the quantum field there."

".But this will be easily discovered by SHIELD, right?" Ava was a little worried.

Bill comforted her, "We've been away from S.H.I.E.L.D. for a few days now, and we haven't seen any agents come to our door yet. This proves that Nick intends to let us go. So as long as we don't cross the line, he should turn a blind eye to us."

Ava said bitterly, "If he hadn't broken his promise, how could we have ended up like this?"

Bill couldn't say anything. In America, he had become accustomed to the official's overbearing style of behavior and had been smoothed over by society.

"Everything will be fine..."

——"Really? I don't think so."

"who!"

Ava stood up immediately, and Bill rushed to the luggage where his gun was.

"Is this what you're looking for, Doctor?"
