Mutants might possess such abilities. However, the characteristic of Mutants is that it is very difficult to find two identical ones, and even similar abilities are rare.

Since the person in front of them can shapeshift, and there is a similar-looking Deadman sitting in the car, then there is a high chance that they are not Mutants, but aliens.

After a series of confirmations, the one-eyed Old Bai who was leading the group broke his silence and addressed everyone:

"Vince, you get that guy in the car onto the helicopter. Agent, put down your weapons, hand him over to us. Then you guys get on the helicopter and come with us."

The muscular man in only a vest, War Wolf Vince Marcus, easily lifted the Dead Skrulls from the passenger seat with one hand, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and walked towards the helicopter.

Dum Dugan retrieved the Rambo Knife he had lent to Henry, took no other weapons, and led the Skrulls, who were being controlled by Barbara, back to the helicopter.

Although Barbara lowered her gun, she didn't let her guard down. Instead, she and Dumdum Dugan kept an eye on the Skrulls who was still trying to frame her as he boarded the helicopter.

There was no way around it; the Howling Commandos were too infamous. Barbara didn't question their loyalty to the U.S. government, so she simply followed their orders.

Furthermore, according to internal intelligence, the Howling Commandos are also part of S.H.I.E.L.D.., although Barbara has never seen them. She used to think it was because her clearance was too low, never imagining that there were actually two S.H.I.E.L.D..

When it was Henry's turn, although he accompanied everyone to the helicopter, Kitty couldn't move when they got close enough.

The loud noise of the helicopter engine made the Tiger hesitate.

Seeing this, Henry said, "It seems my pet won't be able to enjoy this flight."

The others walked straight past Henry and boarded the helicopter. But Old Bai, the one-eyed man, like Barbara, stopped and looked back at the man and the tiger.

Henry waved his hand and pointed with his thumb to the car behind him. "Are you going to take this car back right away? Lend it to me for now. You should be able to retrieve it no matter where I drive it."

Seeing this, Barbara tried to turn back to Henry's side. "Henry, I'll go with you..."

However, the man with the Tiger stopped her, saying, "Bobbie, you have your responsibilities, and so do I. You have to report on those aliens, and I have to take care of Kitty."

"I can't just let Kitty wander around aimlessly just to keep up with you guys. And don't forget, if something goes wrong with Nick Fury, his only source of support is you. That's your most important task."

The girl made a hurt expression and said, "Okay."

One-Eyed Old Bai simply said, "Whatever," and walked away without looking back.

Their team's nature inherently makes it unsuitable for them to have too much contact with ordinary people, even if the other party is not an ordinary person but someone with special abilities.

But in my own team, who isn't? The other side doesn't seem to care much.

The Howling Commandos were dispatched because of the aliens. The fact that they knew to contact them through Tony Stark meant they didn't need to worry about the aliens leaking information that shouldn't be leaked.

At their level, there's no need for elaborate confidentiality agreements. Anyone who leaks information will be silenced, and anyone suspected of leaking information will also be silenced—it's an unspoken understanding among them.

Whether that piece of paper is signed multiple times or not, it won't change anything. Deadman who can't speak is the true guarantee of secrecy.

Besides, old Nick Fury was already reluctant to bring this guy back to the Howling Commandos ' secret base, not to mention that he would have to send him and that Tiger back to the West Coast later.

There's no Reason to stop them from leaving if they want to.

However, these ideas were overturned after they returned to base and interrogated the living Skrulls. Everyone regretted not trying to bring Henry Brown back.

No one expected that this man was not Mutants with the X-Gene as the report stated. He was also an alien, Kryptonian from Krypton.

But according to trainee agent Barbara Morse, even Henry Brown himself didn't know about this. As Krypton, he would have to ask the Skrulls Kryptonian answers regarding Krypton.

The Skrulls being interrogated tried everything they could to get the planet's native official organization to shift its focus to the Kryptonian instead of their actions.

Therefore, regarding the Krypton issue, he not only spoke frankly and openly, but also tried every means to smear that Kryptonian.

Anyway, Krypton doesn't have a good reputation in the universe, so there's no qualms about criticizing it, even though those things happened nine thousand years ago.

During a secure call, Nick Fury reported the incident to Peggy Carter.

Such a persona would be hard for them to ignore. But based on Agent Morst's testimony, perhaps the other party was not even aware of this.

Peggy Carter asked on the phone, "I remember Henry Brown's intelligence only goes back to Alaska in the 1990s?"

"Yes. His experience on the crab fishing boat was the first publicly documented trace of his work."

Peggy Carter made a quick decision. "Send people to investigate further. Expand the scope to the Yukon Territory and Siberia. But don't make the movements too obvious, after all, it involves Tony."

"He finally managed to make himself less conspicuous and distance himself from certain people's targets, so we mustn't let anything that might implicate him be exposed to others' attention. Therefore, the personnel sent out must be carefully selected."

Old Nick Fury said, "I understand, but I'll handle things in Siberia myself. Alexei and Melina came to United States, and I didn't even properly entertain them before letting them leave. As a good friend, I should say hello."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before someone said, "Do what you can, old man. We all know your time is running out. Unlike me, you can't afford to linger on a hospital bed."

"Don't worry. I know I'm not from the era where I can single-handedly charge in and out with just a machine gun anymore. Even though the Red Empire is gone, those old comrades aren't all dead."

Have you figured out what to do?

Nick Fury said confidently, "That idiot Alexei doesn't think that Russia in this day and age needs another Red Guardian, does he?"

"The Iron Maiden is in the same situation. Once the intelligence they stole is proven to be wrong, how much credibility do you think they will have in the new government?"

"While contacting those people, I can also simultaneously gather intelligence on extraterrestrials related to Siberia, creating confusion and making it difficult for others to discern my true purpose."

"This plan is feasible. I will mobilize available resources from the north for your use. Be careful," Peggy Carter said over the phone.
