Chapter 20: Coulson and May
”Believe what you want agent Coulson. Now, if you may, I'm busy, and don't have time to chit-chat.” Saint calmly said.
Phil did not seem bothered, and he smiled as usual saying: ”Mr Lee, do you know of 'Aliens' or 'Mutants'?”
”I know about mutants.” Saint felt he had to lie: ”I haven't heard of aliens existing.”
Phil nodded and said: ”A detailed explanation would be too long, but in simple terms, aliens are extra-terrestrials, and Mutants are human beings who have awakened super powers through Genetic mutations. Once one of the two is located, they would be ȧssessed for their danger level, and depended on that, they might be arrested, imprisoned, monitored, or anything else that would serve to insure the safety of the people.”
”I get it now!” Saint sneered: ”You think that I might be a mutant!”
”Or an alien.” Phil Coulson added obsessively, and then said, ”Mr. Lee, if you can, please prove to me that your 'Kung Fu' could achieve the feats I've told you about. Otherwise, I would have to ask you to take a trip with us.
”Us?” Saint turned around unconsciously and said: ”You're not alone?”
Phil politely threatened him: ”I'm very sorry, I failed to tell you! On the other side of the street, there's an entire team of heavily armed personnel. Of course, as long as you cooperate with me Mr. Lee, they will not rush in.”
”….”
Saint remained silent, then he said reluctantly: ”So if I prove that it's just Kung Fu, you'll not bother me!”
”Absolutely!” Phil nodded: ”You've protected Joy Meachum in an act of legitimate defense. So far, you have not violated any federal law. As long as you can confirm that you are no Alien or Mutant, I have no reason to bother you.”
”Alright, shake my hand.”
Phil Coulson looked at Saint's extended arm, and asked hesitantly: ”Mr. Lee, what do you mean?”
Saint impatiently explained: ”I said I used Kung Fu, and that relies on harnessing my Ki. You are not eastern so you won't understand, and I can hardly explain it to you in words. A much faster way it get you to feel it! I'll be using Ki transfer to get you to feel my body's Ki through physical contact.”
Phil hesitated, and finally extended his arm reluctantly. He touched Saints hand saying: ”So…. SHIT!”
He could help but swear and pull back his arm quickly as if electrocuted, and then he looked straight at his fingers: ”This… This….”
”This is Ki. But man, your hand was sweaty!” Saint awkwardly wiped his hand: ”You don't have to be nervous. This is normal, you're using a new sense you've never used before; Ki Sense!”
After a while, Phil regained his composure saying: ”Mr. Lee, if you don't mind, I want to bring a colleague of mine.”
