Chapter 168: The First Mission

Phil Coulson convinced Melinda May to join the team. “May, let me introduce you. Wesley Gibson is a level seven agent and a member of our team. He is mainly helping me. He will leave after the team is stable.”

Wesley stepped forward and held out his hand. “It’s good to see you again. It’s hard to find someone I don’t know at headquarters, unless they’re new.” Wesley had identified everyone at headquarters.

“Yes, we met. I didn’t expect Sir to join this group.” Melinda May reached out and shook Wesley’s hand, but her expression didn’t change at all. It was still cold.

“That’s right. One of you is Knight and the other is Knight. I hope we can work well together. Melinda remembers to report tomorrow morning. We’ll go first.” Phil Coulson and Wesley left headquarters directly and returned to the secret airport.

After boarding the plane, Phil Coulson led Wesley into his office. “These are the details of the other two people. Take a look first. What do you think of them?” Phil Coulson handed over two folders, and Wesley took them and began to read.

“They’re all new. Although they’re technicians, they still need to be trained. Your team is operating independently. Danger is everywhere. Every member had better be useful,” Wesley said after reading it.

“How about helping me train them?”

“Me? There’s no problem with shooting, but I can’t fight. I’m an amateur. You know this. Why don’t I let Melinda teach them? Her level should be above mine. To be honest, if I can, I want to learn from her.” Wesley did want to learn. What he learned from the Assassin Brotherhood was not systematic.

“Well, I will talk to Melinda. We will rest here today. What do you want to eat for dinner?”

“It’s just the two of us. Why don’t we go out and eat?”

“Don’t you want to try the kitchen on the plane?”

“Not interested…”

Early the next morning, the hangar began to bustle with activity. The staff were making final preparations, and Phil Coulson came to Wesley with a file. Wesley was used to getting up early and was shaking his fist at a sandbag. He now needed to get used to constantly adapting to a stronger body. The energy of the Tesseract was magical. Apple controlled the energy and let Wesley absorb it slowly. Five times that of a normal person was not the limit.

“Bang! Bang!” Wesley waved his fists and punched the sandbag heavily. The sandbag kept swaying.

“This is our first target. You can take a look when you’re done. Our team members are almost here.”

“Okay, I’ll go wash up first and read it when I’m done.” Wesley stopped and took a towel to wash up. Then he sat on the sofa in the living room and began to read.

The document recorded a recent incident, an explosion. A passerby rushed in to save someone and then jumped down from a few floors high and disappeared.

Wesley, on the other hand, knew that the first season of the American drama SHIELD agents began with this incident, and their enemy, the Clairvoyant, was John Garrett. Unfortunately, SHIELD could not make this matter public. Although he could read minds, his “mind reading” could not be used as evidence, and SHIELD could not publicly declare the existence of Hydra, which was a problem.

“It seems that this special agent team is still useful. If necessary, I can pull them to SHIELD headquarters.” Wesley sat there and thought about it. “I don’t know if Project Insight has started yet. Three motherships.”

“Morning.” While Wesley was thinking, Melinda May came in with the luggage.

“Morning, I didn’t expect you to come so early. Have you had breakfast?”

“I’ve eaten. I need to check the preparations before flying.” Melinda put the luggage directly into a room and then went directly to the cockpit in the front of the plane.

Wesley followed her directly and watched her check on the plane. “I’ve heard a lot about your situation. I hope we can work well together in the future. And I hope I can learn some fighting skills from you. How about that?”

“You are a member of the Avengers. Your strength is above mine. Why do you want to learn from me?” Melinda May looked at Wesley strangely.

“Hehe, don’t get me wrong, my fighting style doesn’t have the slightest pattern. As a Chinese, I think you know what I mean, so I want to learn systematically. Anyway, I’m going to stay in this team for a while, so I might as well learn more.”

“Sure.” It was really cool. His face was expressionless and his words were simple. Wesley turned away from the driver’s seat and walked to the tail.

The interior of the plane was divided into three floors. The bottom floor was a garage and a laboratory. The middle floor was a room, a living room, a meeting, and so on. The third floor was Phil Coulson’s territory. Wesley walked to the tail of the bottom floor. A man and a woman were moving things up. They must be Gemma Simmons and Leo Fitz.

“Do you need my help?” Wesley came down and smiled at them both.

“Oh, I know you. You… you’re ‘Sir’, right?” Leo Fitz exclaimed.

Wesley was surprised. Was he so famous? Why didn’t he know? “Yes, it’s me, Wesley Gibson. You can call me Wesley.”

Leo Fitz hurriedly put down his things and reached out to shake hands. “Hey, it’s good to see you. Your things will be told in school. Although you’ve only been in SHIELD for a year, your promotion speed is super fast. The smart program you wrote for the mothership is really good.”

Wesley shook his hand, and Gemma Simmons came up to him. “Hello, what are you doing here? Have you joined our team? Aren’t you a member of the Avengers?”

“Okay, let’s talk about this later. Now we have a mission. Hurry up and pack your things and come up. Our first mission is very important.” Wesley said and began to help them move their things.

In the conference room, there was advanced electronic equipment. Phil Coulson showed the information. “A hacker organization called Tides has been releasing news about the Avengers recently. They claim to find the truth.”

Everyone glanced at Wesley, who smiled and shook his head. “Just some extremely selfish people.”

“Our target is not them, but a man who has recently appeared. He seems to have the power of a superhero. We need to find him. As for how we find him in the future, it depends on the situation. And we tracked down a member of the ‘Tide Rising’ organization. She has been releasing news about this man recently. Do you understand now? This hacker has the information we want. Melinda, let’s go now.”
