Cherreads

Chapter 15 - 13

Hallicarrier. Interrogation room

Spectre sat in an almost empty room, which was lit by a lamp in the ceiling in the centre. Arthur sat at a table, on a chair, with another chair on the other side. He looked into the mirrored wall. 

«Oh, gotcha... - The hero looked around. All around were just smooth grey walls, as if polished to a shine. The floor was covered with black tiles in which he could see his reflection... But surprisingly there was no imitation mirror. 

Suddenly the Silver-haired man noticed a camera. Evans looked at the sole of his shoe, which had a blade inside it. 

«'Well, if anything, I'll think of something,' he said. 

Suddenly the door opened and Maria entered the interrogation room with a folder. She slammed the door loudly, then came and sat down behind a chair. 

«So, Spectre, a newcomer among the heroes, able to destroy and rebuild any matter - the deputy director loudly put the folder on the table. - Also present are enhanced strength, flight, and resilience. Higher than a normal human.

«Do ordinary people fly lower or what? - Arthur asked.

Only Maria slammed her fist on the table. 

«Are you going to make jokes here?! - she asked, standing up. 

«No... It's just that you're saying it wrong, that's why I'm asking.... - he replied, fixing his glasses.

«I need to know who you are and where you got your powers from, answer me, are you an experiment or an agent of Sigma? - Hill suddenly questioned him.

«Esperimperiment of who? Whose agent? - Spectre asked.

«Don't play dumb! - she shouted.

«Question, and the robot is the same Sigma, isn't it? - Evans asked. - It's just that he had Sigma on his shoulder, so I...

«Silence! - Maria shouted, and Arthur almost fell over. - I ask the questions and you answer them. 

«No, I'm not an agent or an experiment of Sigma - he answered. - I fought a robot with Sigma on my shoulder..... 

«I didn't ask that! - Spectre almost fell over at that shout. 

«Stop yelling at me! I can yell too! - Arthur shouted, jumping up and putting his hands on the table. 

Their foreheads collided. The silver-haired man sat down with his arms crossed. Maria, on the other hand, slapped the table. 

«What's next? Fury or Colson with coffee and doughnuts coming in, to take over for you? - Evans asked. 

At this point the door opened and Colson walked in with a box of donuts, donuts and jam doughnuts, and in his other hand a bag with two cups of coffee. Popadan started laughing quietly to the side, covering his eyes with his hand. 

«Were we interrogating you or something...? - Hill asked.

«No, I just have good intuition - Evans waved his hand, continuing to laugh. 

Maria walked out and Colson came in, closing the door with his foot. 

«Sorry Maria, she's in a bad mood today - the russet-haired man smiled, setting down the doughnuts and coffee and then taking a seat.- It's okay, Mr Colson, my mood's lifted - exhaled Spectre. 

«Do we know each other? - he asked.

«No, I'm just inquisitive," Arthur replied, propping his head up with his hand. 

«I wonder where such curiosity and information comes from? - Phill opened the bag. - Help yourself, drink - he pointed first at the doughnuts and then at the coffee.

«I'll treat myself to a doughnut, but I don't drink coffee, sorry - Evans answered calmly, taking a caramel donut. 

«And you're not afraid of sleeping pills or poison? - asked the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, taking a chocolate-covered donut and taking a bite. 

«So I haven't eaten yet... - Arthur calmed down, then sniffed and took a bite of the donut himself. - How do you know which one I'll take, or if I'll take it at all?

«Yeah... Clever bloke. So are you going to tell me where you got your powers from? - Colson asked.

«Mr Colson, I didn't tell your formidable Miss Hill, will I tell you good man? - Arthur asked, finishing his doughnut. - Good cop and bad cop, of course, is a good subject, but I watch detectives.....

«If everyone were as smart as you, the world would be a better place, he said. 

«Nah, I'm the one and only, said Spectre. - Can I go now? Cos I've got a city to save from some arseholes. 

«I'd let you go, but Fury wants to talk to you, and then he'll decide whether to arrest you or let you go - Colson drank his coffee, then got up and headed for the exit. - Don't touch the jams, Fury likes them.

«I don't eat them either," Arthur replied.

«Good luck, maybe I'll see you around," he smiled as he closed the door.

«But not here," said the trapped man. 

The silver-haired man took another donut and began to eat. Suddenly the doors opened, hitting the wall and Arthur almost fell off his chair. It was Maria, and with her were two heavily armed agents. Arthur got up and followed them, picking up a plate of doughnuts. 

***

Arthur walked behind Maria, followed by the two agents. As the silver-haired man walked, he ate the doughnuts. 

«You guys want doughnuts? - Spectrum asked, holding out a plate. 

The two wanted to take one, but seeing Maria's menacing look, changed their minds. Evans shrugged, continuing to chew. Finally reaching the double automatic doors, they stepped out onto the bridge, where Nick Fury himself stood with his back to them. Spectre stepped in and the doors closed. 

«Aren't you scared to stay with me? - He asked, looking at the door as it closed. 

«No. After all, if you had evil intentions you would have destroyed the carrier long ago. - Said Fury, turning round. - Besides, Maria's a little... Paranoid about these things. 

«I can see that. Would you like doughnuts? - Arthur held out a plate. 

«I'd love one. - He took one. - By the way, you've only heard of Sigma recently, right?

«Yeah. What's your point? What's Sigma?

«It's an organisation of scientists who experimented on humans in the past. It was thought to have been destroyed 18 years ago. But recently it's been making a comeback here. In New York.

«Wow.

«Which is why you, as a student at Midtown High, need to hide your identity better. - Said Fury with a slight smile as he saw Spectre's jaw drop. 

«And how...? How...? - The silver-haired man looked around. 

«S.H.I.T. is a serious organisation after all. And we know how to search for information.

«Yeah. Who am I asking? 

«Okay. - Fury exhaled. - You can go. And don't worry, no one but me Maria and Colson knows your secret. 

Spectre exhaled, then nodded. He was escorted to the runway, where he was able to take off in peace.

***

«Shit! - Said Artur in his usual manner, kicking a rubbish bin in an alleyway near the school. - I should've been so bad! 

He squatted down, clutching his head. 

«You're a schoolboy... - Evans spat at the school. - Oh, wait. They didn't call me by name, so I'm not completely screwed.... - so I'm not completely screwed. - Well, thanks for that.

The brown-haired man walked towards the school with his hands in his pockets. He put on his glasses as he walked. 

***

Arthur walked through the school, looking up... But his walk was interrupted by Flash grabbing him in a sort of grapple.

«Where did you disappear to? - He asked. - We've been looking for you!

«Right. - Said Gwen, staring intently into his eyes.

«I'm sorry. - Arthur replied with a slight squeeze.

«Yeah. We were worried about you. - Said Peter, next to whom Elena was standing.

«You've really gone missing all of a sudden. You're definitely all right... Flash let him go, I think he's having trouble breathing. - Said Elena.

Thompson let go of Arthur, scratching the back of his head guiltily. 

«It's all right, I just had a mobile phone jammed, and I ran to find a payphone..." said Evans, cringing. - Evans replied, crunching his neck. 

«You've got to be kidding me. 

«Well, there's that," Arthur shrugged. 

«Where were you? Why didn't you join the others during the evacuation? And where did you find a payphone? И... - Elena started to ask questions, but Gwen stopped her, covering her mouth. 

«What's so much...? - Arthur asked. - So I found the payphone and then I ran back, what's wrong? 

«I'm sorry. I'm just too restless... - replied Elena, smiling. 

«It's noticeable... - Arthur replied, scratching the back of his head with a smile on his face. 

They continued talking. 

Aircraft carrier

Nick sat at the desk in his office. 

«I hope you realise the importance of your mission? - He asked. 

«Yes, sir - answered the man standing in front of him in an agent's suit and helmet. 

«And realise that the target must not find out who you are and believe in this legend? - Fury asked. 

«Yes, sir. 

«And I hope you realise that if anything goes wrong, I'll blow your head off before they blow mine off! - shouted the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

«Yes, sir. 

«Dismissed - replied Nick. 

The man walked out and Fury exhaled, looking up. 

«Let's pray... - he said.
