Marvel's female superheroine travels through multiple worlds

Tony lifted his steel mask, winked at Lu Yunmeng, and said with a smile.

Divider line —

The battle in Harlem, Manhattan, New York, has ended, concluding with the arrest of Lieutenant General Ross for allegedly deploying troops without authorization and causing widespread destruction in the downtown area.

The awakened hatred was also imprisoned in the world's most isolated prison.

The next day, General Ross died in prison, with no obvious wounds on his body.

The forensic autopsy concluded that General Ross suffered from heart disease and died of natural causes.

But the incident didn't really end there; instead, it escalated completely.

The 21st century is the age of network information, and the speed at which messages are transmitted is faster than imagined.

Even though the government has strictly prohibited the public dissemination of such information online, many people still take the risk.

In less than an hour, numerous images and videos had appeared on the American internet, with the number of views and comments increasing exponentially.

Although no one was injured or killed in this heinous incident, it damaged more than sixteen streets and hundreds of homes.

Countless car wrecks were smashed to pieces, and Harlem looked as if it had been plowed by heavy artillery and missiles.

Looking at that ruined scene, you might mistake it for Syria if you didn't know better!

Who would have thought that this is actually one of the most bustling cities in the United States!

The blame that was originally intended to be placed on Lu Yunmeng and Hulk was neatly and efficiently shifted to the scapegoat, General Ross.

Public anger was boiling over, and everyone pointed the finger at the instigator of the Manhattan incident in New York.

In response, a senior U.S. government spokesperson issued a public apology to Supergirl, stating that General Ross's unauthorized actions were not directly related to the government or the military.

Of course, public opinion on the panic caused by the street battles between superpowered individuals is polarized.

A small minority of people believe this is a pipe dream, and that any unstable element possessing superhuman power should be nipped in the bud.

Superpowered individuals need to be subject to regulation, abide by the national constitution, and even have relevant countermeasures established in order to give ordinary people a sense of security and trust in the government.

Many people believe that people with superpowers can better protect ordinary citizens and reduce urban crime.

The appearance of Supergirl, in particular, drove many DC comic fans wild, who continuously expressed their support for her.

She was given the title 'Goddess on Earth' in the hope that Supergirl would continue to fight crime and uphold justice.

In particular, the video of Supergirl unleashing overwhelming power, beating up Abomination, and shooting red beams from her eyes to destroy falling glass shards has been made into all sorts of short videos.

Accompanied by energetic background music, many people felt as if they were there, and the number of viewers, likes, and comments increased rapidly.

Some people even gave high praise to the Hulk's performance in saving people:

Although it looks like a savage brute and is ugly, it gave people an endless sense of security the moment it carried the people out of the fire!

Major television stations rushed to report on it, with mixed reviews.

Reporters from government-controlled television stations asked many tricky questions, leaning more towards the idea that the superpowered individuals should bear full responsibility for the destruction of the city and the creation of public safety panic.

Some, in an effort to attract attention, exaggerate the terrifying aspects of superpowered individuals and denigrate Supergirl and Hulk.

This claim angered supporters and sparked an online war.

Some TV stations, however, were trying to be factual and hoped to interview the parties involved, but unfortunately, they couldn't find anyone at all.

In short, Supergirl and the Hulk became incredibly popular, dominating the charts on major online platforms and overshadowing even major celebrity events. Their news was even featured at the top of international websites.

This resulted in the MK2 Iron Man suit, which appeared later, not receiving much attention.

Tony Stark was very unhappy about this. He has always been an flamboyant person and wanted to make a high-profile appearance in Iron Man armor, but the popularity he received was even less than that of the Abomination. Where can he complain?

Nighttime, S.H.I.E.L.D. Tri-Wing Building, Director's office.

Nick Fury frowned, repeatedly playing footage of the New York street battle, clutching a strangely shaped pager in his hand, seemingly hesitating.

Superwoman's power is undeniable, and more than half of the members of the International Security Council want her to be brought under control.

Nick Fury isn't stupid; some people can be controlled, but some can't.

To deal with a real monster, you must have the corresponding power; otherwise, General Ross is the best example of what not to do.

He remained silent for a long time before finally putting away the metal pager.

Before long, there was a knock on the door, and a beautiful woman with a slender figure walked in.

The newcomer had wine-red curly hair, a beautiful face, captivating eyes, a delicate nose, and slightly upturned lips, giving her a glamorous yet playful look.

"Agent Romanov, how does it feel to join S.H.I.E.L.D."

Nick Fury placed his hands naturally on the table, looked up at the beautiful woman in front of him, and slowly began to speak.

"It's not bad. The food is good, the benefits are good, and my colleagues are friendly. Most importantly, I can finally control my thoughts."

The beautiful woman smiled happily, but her eyes were calm, creating a strange sense of incongruity.

Chapter 18 Secret Measures

Natasha Romanov was born in 1984.

Original name: Natalia Romanova, formerly a Soviet Red House agent, codename: Black Widow.

During a covert mission assigned by the Red Room, he encountered Hawkeye Clint Barton, an elite agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the two engaged in a fierce battle.

He was unfortunately defeated and captured, and later betrayed the intelligence organization, joining S.H.I.E.L.D. He is currently a Level 7 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He possesses exceptional infiltration skills, combat techniques, language skills, imitation abilities, firearms handling skills, and vehicle driving skills.

He has achieved the highest level of professional proficiency in every subject, and some of his abilities have even reached the master level.

They are the most elite of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s active-duty agents in external operations, without exception.

This is why, after Clint defeated his opponent in the mission, he didn't kill him outright, but instead showed his appreciation for the talent.

"That's good. I thought it would take you a while to adjust," Nick Fury smiled.

"Did you call me here so late because something important happened?"

Romanov flirtatiously tossed her hair and went straight to the point.

Since joining S.H.I.E.L.D., she no longer has to worry about who she fights for or about carrying out those incredibly dirty killing missions.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mission is to maintain world peace, which sounds exaggerated and the missions are extremely difficult, but it is precisely her area of ​​expertise.

Therefore, she doesn't dislike fighting for her beliefs and justice, as it can at least wash away the blood debts of the past.

"The Drekoff matter is over. You now have a mission."

Nick Fury pulled a stack of documents from his drawer and said something with a hint of deeper meaning.

Romanov took the document, glanced at it quickly, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

She checked the documents several times before finally closing them.

"Is it really true that I'm supposed to go to China and, under the guise of being a relative, meet a 50-year-old woman?"

Romanov asked, puzzled.

She had carried out countless dangerous secret missions and faced all sorts of adversaries, but this was the first time she had ever encountered a target like this.

“That’s right,” Nick Fury said succinctly.

"Chief, are you kidding? I don't look Asian at all," Romanov questioned.

She has received special training and has mastered many languages. She can even speak broken and difficult Chinese with the flavor of a local dialect, but her appearance is obvious at a glance!

Westerners and Easterners have very different characteristics; don't treat people like they're blind!

Ordinary disguise techniques are ineffective; if she continues to use chemicals to conceal her face, she'll lose her face altogether.

And there's always a time to remove makeup. You know, nothing stays hidden forever, especially in this mysterious Eastern country.

"The Weapons Research Department has developed a new photon capture mask. That thing can make you look like anyone, including people from the East."

Nick Fury explained calmly and unhurriedly.

Romanov raised an eyebrow, immediately remembering what the other person had said.

A few years ago, that thing was just a prototype with a lot of drawbacks, but now it can actually be put into production and used.

"Okay, boss, I still want to ask, what's so special about middle-aged women in China?"

"After all, the mission description wasn't very clear; it only said 'approach' was enough, not 'eliminate'?"

Romanov asked curiously.

There is an unwritten rule in the world of espionage: all missions must avoid the Eastern superpower, because agents who attempt to infiltrate it almost always mysteriously disappear without a trace.

Even the mighty Russian bear is extremely cautious in its attitude toward this neighboring country, let alone the United States, which is just across the sea.

Infiltrating China to get close to an ordinary middle-aged woman is clearly not as simple as the synopsis suggests.

It can't be just about eating and drinking with people, can it...?

"Have you heard of that superwoman on the internet?" Nick Fury didn't answer immediately, but instead asked a question.

"Of course, beating up big guys on the streets of Manhattan, New York, and defeating General Ross's 30,000 elite troops without killing anyone."

"She is very beautiful. Although I am not bad-looking either, there is indeed a gap between us."

Romanov raised an eyebrow and said with a faint smile.

Of course she had heard of the most popular superpowered person on the internet right now, the powerful young woman with the abilities of DC's Superman.

A woman who can persuade the Hulk with words cannot do so without immense power as a foundation.

As a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, she had a deep understanding of that beast that was unstoppable when it went berserk.

"The target of this mission is Supergirl's relative. Do you understand what I mean?" Nick Fury said meaningfully.

"What?" Romanov exclaimed in surprise, unable to believe it.

"Boss, I'm sure you're joking. Haven't you thought about the consequences of doing this?"

"Supergirl can easily destroy General Ross's forces and also destroy S.H.I.E.L.D.'s power. What good would it do to anger her?"

Romanov looked at Nick Fury with a surprised expression, as if to say, "Are you trying to send me to my death?" He was completely bewildered.

She couldn't see any benefit in this mission; it was a damn stupid decision!
