FBI: Chapter 95/96

Chapter 95: Gone

Skye was certain she had always had a good impression of Dante…

But now, more than ever, she wanted to stab him twice!

Was it really that hard to just tell her clearly what the crystal did?

He had to be so mysterious, telling her to break the crystal when she was alone.

And he said she would thank him.

Thank him for what?!

She had turned into a human charcoal stone statue for an entire day!

Do you know how agonizing it is to be conscious but have your senses fail and be unable to move for twenty-four hours?

Skye sat on the floor, panting, as she looked at the room completely wrecked by the vibrations she had just emitted…

Damn it! Anyone who didn't know would think this place had just been bombed!

"Hey! Skye! Are you okay?"

The door was kicked open from the outside, and the man Skye most wanted to stab twice appeared right in front of her.

"Dante! How dare you show your face in front of me! Is it that hard to speak clearly, you bastard!"

"Dante coughed awkwardly a few times, then helped Skye, who was slumped on the floor, to her feet. "Thank goodness, Skye, you successfully emerged from that stone shell, and it looks like you've gained an incredible ability…"

"Speaking of this ability, Dante, what exactly did you do to me! Don't you know how desperate I was when I was petrified, you bastard!"

"Skye, that's where you're wrong! As your supervisor, I told you during your training that as an FBI agent, no matter what strange things happen, you shouldn't be afraid. You weren't paying attention when I lectured."

"I, I, I! If you were inexplicably petrified, and then all your senses completely failed, would you be scared?!"

"Of course, I'd be scared, but I'd absolutely act tough and wouldn't say it."

Dante teased.

Through the vibration just now, Dante already knew that Skye's Inhumans bloodline had completely awakened.

Vibrating Woman was definitely the ceiling of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s combat power in the original work.

And she was Nick Fury's only true confidant.

An eighteen-year-old S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 10 Agent is no joke; no one would find it abrupt if she immediately joined the Avengers.

In fact, she is also recognized by fans as a member of the "Avengers First Reserve Team."

Both her ability and popularity are quite good.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." later, with her as the protagonist.

A full seven seasons, dying a natural death—this is definitely a great success in the drama circle, where most series are either canceled or on their way to being canceled, and it also indirectly reflects the character's popularity.

Dante naturally knew that the girl in front of him was the perfect candidate to replace Coulson or Maria Hill in the future, but now…

She seemed very angry.

"If I could control this power better right now, I'd really like to vibrate you hard!"

"The way you say that, I should thank you for not killing me, right?"

Dante smiled as he helped her walk out the door…

Her room was temporarily uninhabitable.

The ceiling was shaking so much that debris was falling; it was quite something.

And everyone who felt the vibration rushed over from all directions of the Base.

Skye had always been popular.

Dante handed over the task of assisting Skye to Wanda, who was the first to arrive, and then picked up his constantly ringing personal terminal.

It was a video call from Nick Fury.

"Hello, do you need something from me? If not, I'll hang up; I'm busy at home."

"Stop being glib!" Fury's mouth twitched, then he asked, "We just detected a 4.0 magnitude earthquake in Washington, and the epicenter was near your Base… Did you cause something again?"

"Yes."

"Are you and Tony Stark related by blood? Do something normal, I beg you!"

"Beg me? Then go cook two dishes for me first!"

"I'm giving you too much leeway!" Fury's already dark face grew even darker. "Come to headquarters, I have something to tell you."

Dante turned around, saw that Skye was fine, and then opened a portal to Nick Fury and Professor X's office.

Looking at Professor X, who was sitting behind the same desk as Fury, Dante greeted him.

"Oh, both of you are here today?"

"So what exactly happened with that earthquake just now?" Professor X asked curiously, "Could it be that a Mutant with vibration abilities awakened in your Base? But besides Wanda and Pietro, there are no Mutants there."

"It's Skye." Dante sat down in a chair and explained to the Black and White eggs, "She's not a Mutant, but an Inhumans."

"Inhumans?"

Professor X and Fury exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

If the previous disappearance of Mutants was intentional, then Inhumans were truly somewhat obscure.

It's understandable, after all, Inhumans awakening generally requires the aid of a terrigen crystal, unlike Mutants who might have their genes awaken at an unknown time.

"That's right, Inhumans. This group looks similar to Mutants, but they are actually a combat race created by the Kree who came to Earth in ancient times." Dante gave an example that the two were more familiar with: "One of the earliest Inhumans was called 'Hive.'"

"HYDRA was formed as an ancient organization because they worshipped and followed him. For years, HYDRA, led by Gideon Malick, has been dedicated to bringing back their Lord."

Nick Fury nodded.

In that case, HYDRA still had a last glimmer of hope waiting for them to eradicate.

Dante looked at the two lost in thought and asked:

"Alright, I'm done talking about my business, it's your turn."

"Didn't you say you had something to tell me?"

Nick Fury looked at Dante with his single eye and asked faintly:

"Do you remember that you drove my car away?"

"I remember! I parked it in the Stark Industries parking lot, and I even put two wheel clamps on your car!"

"It's gone."

"What's gone?"

"The car's gone."

"Huh?"

(To be continued.)

Chapter 96: Welcome to Fairytale Town

Boston, outskirts.

Dante ultimately couldn't escape the fate of looking for a car for Fury.

"That Fury guy, so stingy!" Dante grumbled about his direct superior while searching everywhere. "If I wasn't so morally upright, I definitely wouldn't come find a car for you!"

Who knows why Fury's official car has such low anti-theft capabilities!

It was clearly a vehicle equipped with a highly intelligent AI system, and its exterior hardness could basically be considered a heavily armed armored vehicle, yet it was stolen by some unknown thief.

And the funniest part was that even the tracker specifically installed in the car stopped working after entering this forest in Boston.

It should have been a matter of getting accurate coordinates and opening a portal to resolve it.

Now, he could only personally come to this forest to find the car.

"I'm baffled. This high-tech car is only explosion-proof, not anti-theft. Do they really think no one would dare to steal from the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation?"

In a flash, Dante had searched through most of the forest, but he still couldn't find any trace of the car.

"This is so weird! I clearly saw the tire marks fro Fury's special tires, so why haven't I found it yet?"

Dante sighed.

Damn it.

He should have brought that kid, Barry Allen, with him.

Although he isn't Flash yet, he's one of the best forensic specialists. Analyzing through various details would definitely be much easier than him blindly searching here.

But since he was having such a pleasant conversation with Banner, Dante really didn't have the heart to interrupt the kid's meeting with his idol.

Forget it, just consider it a trip to get some fresh air.

Dante changed his mood and continued to advance into the areas he hadn't searched yet, as if he were sightseeing.

But things are just that magical.

When you deliberately look for something, you just can't find it.

Once you stop looking, it will inexplicably turn up from some corner after a while.

Director Fury's Chevrolet soon appeared in Dante's sight...

Aside from the wide-open car door, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Dante was about to step forward to check, but the system's voice, long unheard, suddenly rang in his ears.

["Ding, mission 'Welcome to Fairytale Town' has been issued."]

["Mission Introduction: Dear Star Team Captain, in order to retrieve Director Fury's beloved car, you came alone to Fairytale Town on the outskirts of Boston, only to discover its secret... The townspeople here are all 'Fairytale Characters' who have crossed dimensions, living in this inescapable town in various unbelievable relationships. As a rare outsider, you will stir up an unknown storm within the town. Is 'reality' merely another form of 'illusion'?"]

Dante listened to the system's mission introduction while walking towards the car.

But after taking the next step, he instantly felt a distinct sense of disorientation.

A sense of disorientation from the distortion of space-time and reality.

Even with Dante's current powerful physique and the protection of the Red and Green Lantern Beast, he still fell victim.

Before falling, Dante saw the town sign on the road not far away.

"Welcome to Storybrooke."

700 kilometers away in Washington, Hela was enjoying the virtual war without smoke on the internet.

As the Commander of the Asgardian army, Odin's executioner, and the Death Goddess of Asgard, she was exceptionally interested in any form of "war."

But in the next moment, she suddenly looked up, her brows furrowing sharply.

Reality seemed to be subtly changing, something completely imperceptible to ordinary people.

But for the Death Goddess, who possessed divinity, this wave of reality modification and distortion was as noticeable as throwing a husky into a mirrored pool.

She clearly felt that a part of the reality in her memory had been modified or distorted.

"Who is it? Who possesses the power to modify reality?"

"Wait... could it be that thing?"

And the direction she subconsciously looked towards was Boston.

...

"Damn it!"

When Dante opened his eyes again, it was already evening.

After quickly getting up from the forest grass, Dante immediately retreated without a word.

But unfortunately, an invisible barrier stood in front of him.

Unseen, untouchable, yet he just couldn't take a step out of there.

He even tried the Red and Green Lantern transformation.

Still no luck.

It was as if...

It was a rule of this space.

A boundary that allows entry but not exit...

Dante frowned slightly.

He was probably in trouble.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out his phone.

There was a signal, but every number he dialed was busy.

Then he took out the Federal Bureau of Investigation personal terminal...

Well, it couldn't even turn on.

Aside from being hard and painful to hit people with, it had no other use.

Bad news: the once powerful Federal Bureau of Investigation personal terminal could now truly only be used as a brick.

Good news: Dante also knew a thing or two about the Thirty-Six Styles of Brick Head-Smashing.

All in all, just smash their face and it's done.

"Damn it, so which god did I run into this time? How did Storybrooke Town even come out?"

And the system even issued a mission...

Before, he had casually crushed HYDRA because of a text message, and the system didn't even issue a mission!

Dante walked to the town sign, looked down the road, and could see the flickering lights in the distance...

It seemed the population wasn't too small.

"Sigh, since I'm already here."

Dante sighed, comforting himself.

He returned to Fury's Chevrolet and tried to start it, but it wouldn't turn over.

The fuel wasn't used up.

But it couldn't start.

The Director's car, heavily modified with various Federal Bureau of Investigation black technologies, now seemed to be a useless metal shell, just like the personal terminal.

Dante got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

Alright, he would carry the car away.

Just as he was about to bend down, he suddenly heard a sound behind him.

In a flash, Dante had already turned around and launched a counterattack, striking first despite reacting later.

A man wearing a black hood was directly pinned to the grass by Dante.

"Who are you? Why did you ambush me?"

"..."

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Dante didn't waste words and reached out to pull off the other party's hood.

Oh, wow.

A handsome CEO-like face, fan-diagram eyes, and an ascetic temperament...

"Holy crap, Bruce Wayne? What are you doing here?"
