Nick's Decisive Killing

"I know. You signaled to the president that you wanted a Helicarrier in order to delay the launch of Project Insight." Nick Fury's single eye was sharp and rational. After the shock of confirming Hydra's numbers, he calmed down and began thinking of ways to purge Hydra from within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Project Insight had originally been meant to use big data and satellites to identify DNA, predict criminals' actions, and prevent crimes before they happened.

But Alexander Pierce had long prepared an algorithm, implanting the Zola Algorithm—capable of identifying and calculating future enemy targets threatening Hydra—into it. Once activated, the three Helicarriers in the sky would lock onto every future target that posed a threat to Hydra and kill them directly.

He-El had struck at the foundation of the plan by demanding a Helicarrier, greatly delaying Project Insight's launch. It could practically be called a stroke of genius.

By asking for a Helicarrier, the president believed he had gained He-El's understanding, Nick Fury believed Project Insight had been delayed, and He-El needed a Helicarrier to convert into an interstellar spacecraft. One move, three gains.

Only Alexander Pierce ended up hurt.

"Not just that, Nick. I really do need a Helicarrier to convert into a genuine interstellar spacecraft," He-El said calmly.

"As you said, if these alien gods are targeting me, then to avoid involving Earth's seven billion lives, it would be best for me to fight them in outer space.

"I'm sorry, Nick. The Rainbow Bridge issue was my oversight. I never expected Loki to directly seek Earth's destruction."

Nick Fury was the partner He-El had chosen. There were many things He-El needed to prepare, and he did not mind letting Nick know.

On the contrary, knowing these things would allow Nick to cooperate with him more seamlessly.

Strictly speaking, everything
