Overwatch invades American comics

Chapter 9 Being Targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Yesterday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a bank robbery occurred at a bank on First Street in Brooklyn. Currently, four robbers have been arrested, and the remaining two robbers are still at large..."

The TV news was reporting yesterday's robbery. William had just come to the Marvel World for two days, and he had already encountered bicycle theft, bag snatching, and bank robbery...

He felt that he might be the most miserable one among the countless time travelers.

This was the first time in his life that he had seen a bank robbery. At first he was terrified, worried that if he said something wrong, the bad guys would shoot him.

He loved to watch the fun, was indifferent, and didn't care about anything. This was his normal state before he traveled through time. Because in his world, being brave and being a hero often didn't end well.

But when he came to this new world, he got the mysterious Overwatch system. When he saw someone's life being threatened, he couldn't just stand by and watch, and rushed out in a fit of anger.

Soldier 76's transformation time was only two minutes, so William had no choice but to watch the robbers escape. He searched his pockets and remembered that his phone, wallet and bank card were all left at the bank. If he went back to look for them, they would definitely be gone.

And he knew that he must never let others know his true identity.

"The robbers were very cunning. Before carrying out the robbery, they had hacked into the bank's alarm system and monitoring system. We were unable to find any surveillance video." A bearded policeman on TV said: "According to the information provided by witnesses, a man stepped forward and defeated the robbers..."

William took a deep breath. Fortunately, the robbers destroyed the surveillance beforehand, otherwise his identity would be exposed. It was hard for him to imagine what would happen if he was exposed. Would he be discovered by SHIELD, arrested, and tortured?
Or even more terrifying, being found by Hydra and successfully brainwashed into a killing machine?
Neither of these two is what he wants. William is still very weak now, and he doesn't want to be associated with any organization. Whether it is S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra, he is not able to contend with it now.

"He is our savior. Although I don't know who he is, I still want to say thank you to him. Thank you for standing up. You are a real hero." In addition to interviewing the police, William also interviewed the hostages, and saw the familiar face of the bank manager.

"Hero..." William murmured, and he couldn't help but glance at the Overwatch logo on the back of his hand.

William went out early this morning, not to go to work, but to go to the second-hand market. Ever since his bicycle was stolen, William has been worried every day, afraid of being discovered by his boss.

There is a saying that goes, go out without checking the almanac.

William felt that he was such a person. He originally went out to withdraw money, but he did not expect that not only did he fail to withdraw the money, but he also encountered robbers.

Where is the logic in this?
William had no choice but to ask his boss for an advance of half a month's salary and grit his teeth to buy a bicycle.

Of course, it's second-hand.

After buying the bicycle, William rode to the fast food restaurant quickly. He saw a car parked on the side of the road. It was a classic convertible old car with red paint and retro style.

This kind of antique car is the favorite of collectors and usually does not appear on the street. Moreover, William always felt that this car looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

When he arrived at the restaurant, he found the owner Jonathan standing at the door waiting for him. William was stunned. He was not late, so what was going on? Could it be that the theft of the bicycle had been discovered?

"Why did you just come? Someone is looking for you." Jonathan's answer made him feel relieved. Fortunately, the bicycle incident was not discovered. When he walked into the restaurant, he saw the man sitting at the card table.

He was wearing a neat black suit and shiny leather shoes, holding a newspaper in his hand and drinking coffee.

"I heard you were looking for me. Do we know each other?" William walked over and asked curiously.

"I don't know him." Coulson put down the coffee in his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lister." "FBI? CIA?" William asked. Judging from the other person's attire, he was either an insurance salesman or someone from a government department. Of course, he preferred the latter.

"No, we are a more independent department." Coulson took out his ID and said, "I am Agent Phil Coulson from the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency."

"Has anyone ever told you that the name of your department sounds like a tongue twister?"

"I know." Coulson shrugged and said, "We're trying to figure it out."

William's expression looked calm, but actually he was in turmoil inside.

The Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency is a well-known international military action organization and intelligence agency in the Marvel world. Of course, it has a more well-known name - S.H.I.E.L.D.!

SHIELD is a line of defense, standing between this world and a more bizarre world, preventing people from learning things they are not ready to know, and maintaining world peace and freedom. For the safety of people, SHIELD has been guarding the world and is determined to build a better world.

"So, Mr. Coulson, what do you want to talk to me about?" William asked. He knew that he had been targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Phil Coulson, a Level 6 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and one of Nick Fury's most trusted subordinates, has strong action and organizational abilities, and is proficient in firearms and combat.

Although he is an ordinary person, he plays a vital role in the Marvel world because he recruited many superheroes and eventually formed the Avengers.

Coulson is the symbol of S.H.I.E.L.D., and since he found William, it means that William has attracted the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. Fortunately, the visitor is from S.H.I.E.L.D., if it was Hydra, it would not be as simple as just sitting here and chatting.

"Do you remember this news?" Coulson said as he picked up the newspaper. William took a look and saw that the newspaper was reporting on the bank robbery that happened yesterday afternoon. The content of the news was similar to what was on TV.

"I have no impression. I haven't even seen it." William rolled his eyes. He definitely couldn't tell the truth at this time.

Without paying attention to William's reaction, Coulson asked, "Where were you yesterday afternoon?"

"Where else can I go? Delivering food."

"You were delivering takeout all afternoon yesterday?" Coulson obviously didn't believe it.

William spread his hands and said helplessly: "You government officials will never understand us low-level workers. You can get paid just by using the air conditioning in the office and drinking coffee, unlike us who are exposed to the wind and sun every day and will be complained by customers if we are one minute late."

"Our job is not as simple as you think." Coulson stared into his eyes and said, "This world is dangerous and there are many unknown secrets. There is a crisis brewing in the darkness, and we are the last line of defense to protect people. If we collapse..."

"What will happen?"

"The world is doomed," Coulson said seriously.

"You think too much. The earth will continue to rotate without anyone." William looked at Coulson provocatively. "And why do I feel that the world would be better without you?"

I guess many people have guessed it.
