Chapter 13 Aegis

Eric felt as if he had been sleeping for a century before he opened his heavy eyelids reluctantly. The dirty ceiling was imprinted into his eyes. The chandelier on his head had not been renovated for many years, and the dusty spider silk hanging was shaking.

Trying to echo the memory that seemed to have happened in his previous life - Kelly Samir has always been his enemy, lurking beside him with malicious intentions and monitoring him. But he could never blame her from the bottom of his heart, but instead felt a sense of guilt. It was precisely because he approached himself that the girl's life, who should have lived her whole life on the route of an ordinary girl, had undergone earth-shaking changes, and now it has been ended by him. Even if she had turned into a monster before that, it would have only made Eric feel a little better.

Continuing to recall, he switched to the mode of armor superhuman ability, and then used the hot vision released by full power to defeat the enemy...

It should be because he released such a level of energy for the first time and his body was overloaded. He had already figured out the way of this armor, and it seemed that every time he activated the armor, it was related to his own physical energy and vitality. When he was exhausted and fell asleep, the armor would automatically disarm and fell into a dormant state with him.

However, he estimated that after adapting to it, he would not be too overwhelmed with the full power release next time.

The memory has ended here, and it seems that he has fallen down for no reason after that and is still drowsy.

So where is he now? Who moved him here?

Looking around for a moment, he noticed that he was lying on a steel wire bed that could smell the musty smell. It was not so much a room, but rather a storage room, and it seemed that it had been forgotten for many years and could not even remember the owner. The only window glass shattered half of the window, and the remaining half was covered with spider silk that could not be seen through.

Eric vaguely heard someone seemingly talking behind the door.

As soon as he sat up from the bed, the steel wire bed, which he hadn't known how old he was, made an overwhelming "creaking". The man behind the door also heard the noise immediately, pushed open the old wooden door and walked in.

She was a pretty beautiful woman. She had a tall figure, wearing small black leather boots, her head of blonde hair was dazzling, and her whole body exuded a unique temperament between charming and capable strong women.

What's even more strange is that Eric felt like he had seen her somewhere.

"Who are you?" Eric asked, "Where is this?"

"Don't worry, I didn't take you too far. This is still in New Jersey. I just found an abandoned storage room without anyone." The woman said.

She grabbed the backpack strap and lifted the armor that retracted the backpack form: "This is your armor, right? I saw your battle, this thing is really amazing."

Eric's face changed slightly: "Give it to me! That's..."

He thought that no matter who the other party was, he would definitely not be so easy to talk to, but he did not know that the other party snorted lightly, and threw his backpack back without saying a word.

Eric caught the backpack - although it was a folding armor, the unique material made it extremely light and flexible in portable state. He didn't expect the other party's straightforward attitude and was stunned for a moment, not even knowing where to ask.

"I know you have many questions, but I probably can't explain too much to you." The woman said, "First because what I know is really limited, and secondly because of my position. But I can answer the first question - my name is Sharon Carter, I am an agent of a government department..."

Sharon Carter, Sharon Carter...

The name is like thunder passing through his mind, connecting his memory. He finally remembered where he had seen this woman.

Sharon Carter, one of the more famous agents of S.H.E.L.D., is the niece of the great Captain America's first love Paige Carter. Later in the comic, he became Captain America's girlfriend. Although she has no superpowers, she is a well-trained intelligence officer and martial artist, and her qualities as an agent are impeccable.

But he remembered even more that he had not only seen her in film and television works.

"The clerk of Emil's Café? Serious?" Eric asked, "I'm so flattered. I've attracted so many big names."

"Yes." Sharon admitted generously, "I have been in the cafe you often visit as a clerk. My task is to observe and analyze you and gain insight into it. And as you said - you are really important."

Eric rubbed his temples, his dizzy head recovering little by little.

"Asiashield... right?" he asked casually.

Sharon's face changed slightly: "Why did you know?"

"It doesn't matter. So let's talk about it, what do you know about me? The information and other specialties should be a specialty, right?" Eric asked. "About my father... this incredible system of armor, this is why you all are interested in me, right? Speaking of which, who is the organization that transformed Kelly into that kind of thing?"

"You have too many questions, and I don't know much." Sharon said, temporarily putting aside the question about Eric's knowledge of ASCHEN, "I can only explain it as much as possible. In short, your father, Padrek Charlotte and mother, Evette Charlotte, were both geniuses in the scientific world in a century. Until fifteen years ago, they were researchers in our organization - the "ASCHEN" you know."

"My parents are Aegis... Researchers?"

Sharon nodded: "Yes, until fifteen years ago. Then when you were about three years old, they defected to a mysterious force that we didn't know the details, and seemed to have started to join the research of a new project. However, forces that even we didn't know the details generally mean trouble. We don't know the content of their research, but based on the current situation..."

"It's this armor... right?" Eric stared at the armor folded into a backpack in his hand, thinking.

Fifteen years ago, it happened that my parents suddenly left home and left him and there was no news? What happened to this set of armor that seemed to record the abilities of the major veterans of the Justice League that had not yet been established? Why did they entrust this thing to themselves?

If that really is what parents mean...what do they want me to do?

"The final question," Eric asked, "Why save me? Don't ASCHUN want to get this armor and that incredible system?"

Sharon shrugged.

"I don't know either. This is what the boss means. I just execute the command." She said. "Maybe my boss thinks it's better for you to hold it? Or he has any other plans... My boss's intentions are hard to guess. Generally, if he doesn't want to say it, then no one can guess what he is thinking."

Is that what Nick Fury meant? Eric's intuition told him that Fury might know more.

He put on his backpack and stood up: "Thank you so, I'll tell you thank you to your boss on my behalf. But I will continue to investigate next."
