Marvel's female superheroine travels through multiple worlds

The moment Nick Fury was swept over by that sharp gaze, the air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became difficult.

It was as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his throat, rendering him unable to move. He had never felt the domineering pressure of Supergirl before.

"So, how do you ensure that Blackwatch won't turn its guns on ordinary people?" Nick Fury took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and asked sharply.

"How can we ensure this? And from whom should we ensure this?"

"To hand over weapons to the United Nations?"

"Will Blackwatch be exploited by politicians?"

"When people are in mortal danger, am I supposed to write a report first and wait for approval before I can go to the rescue?"

"Those people who attempt to control power far exceeding their own capabilities, have they ever asked themselves if they are qualified?"

Lu Yunmeng, showing her sharp wit, bluntly threw out several questions in succession.

The reason the Avengers fell apart was precisely because ordinary people imposed many restrictions on superheroes and superhumans.

The so-called Sokovia Protocol, to put it nicely, adds an approval process to ensure proper control and prevent those with supernatural abilities from acting recklessly.

To put it bluntly, it's a situation where one is afraid of being hurt by the "blade" in their hand, yet still wants to use the "knife."

This is simply an act of wanting to be a prostitute while also wanting to be seen as virtuous.

Nick Fury was speechless for a moment and couldn't answer.

He had to admit that Supergirl was absolutely right; there were indeed many unstable factors and loopholes in the matter.

“But Earth is always humanity’s home, we should…” He tried to say something more, to try and persuade them, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Lu Yunmeng.

"Hey, what does this mean?"

"Am I not human? Or do you all believe deep down that I am a monster?"

Lu Yunmeng's eyes gradually turned dangerous, radiating a terrifying sense of oppression that made everyone present feel breathless.

Hill's first reaction was to reach for the pistol at his waist, while Coulson did not move. Nick Fury appeared calm, but a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Damn it! That's not what I meant, you've misunderstood." Nick Fury quickly gestured to stop Hill's actions, waving his hand as he explained.

Fighting Supergirl here? Are you kidding me!

The entire S.H.I.E.L.D. team combined wouldn't be enough to take down Supergirl with a single punch!

"If I didn't consider myself a human being, a part of the world, do you think I would have been so polite as to 'inform' you?"

Lu Yunmeng clenched her fists, ignored Hill, and asked with a cold smile.

"Lu, don't be angry. You know, ordinary people are always afraid of people with supernatural abilities," Steve stepped in to smooth things over.

He had also experienced similar strange looks, but it was completely different from what Supergirl encountered, after all, the two were on completely different levels.

"...Okay, I was being narrow-minded. Steve, you're right."

Lu Yunmeng remained silent for a moment, then the oppressive aura around her vanished instantly, and she smiled naturally, like a punctured balloon.

It was as if the tense standoff had never happened.

"Lu, people need time to adapt, I hope you can understand."

Steve smiled kindly.

He and Supergirl were comrades who had carried out missions together, and he felt that Lu Yunmeng was kind-hearted, but she was still young and a little impulsive.

"Look at this! This is Captain America! A 90-year-old man can talk better than you, but all you do is pull out a gun and threaten people!"

"You should pay him the wages he's owed for decades!"

Lu Yunmeng curled her lip in disdain and slapped Steve's shoulder hard, causing him to cough.

That disdainful look made Nick Fury feel somewhat ashamed.

Well, from the very beginning, he was unable to take the initiative.

Chapter 55 Independence and Autonomy

Steve looked embarrassed and could only smile wryly, speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.

This superwoman actually said something like "a 90-year-old can talk," which shows she has a somewhat wicked sense of humor.

In the past few days, he has been trying to learn modern knowledge through the internet, where videos of superheroines upholding justice and saving civilians are everywhere.

Lu Yunmeng's online fame far surpasses that of any famous person. Many people have spontaneously created forums and online communities for her, and the discussions are all about her.

In fact, Steve had a good impression of Lu Yunmeng, especially her righteous act of destroying the Red House and saving those persecuted young girls.

Compared to Nick Fury, he agrees more with Lu Yunmeng's ideas.

"Okay, I'll notify the relevant departments and have them pay the back wages. I think no one will dare to withhold Captain America's money."

Nick Fury seemed amused and said helplessly, but his eyes kept glancing at Steve and Lu Yunmeng.

"Do you know what? Every morning when I wake up, I feel like I'm facing a world as fragile as paper."

Lu Yunmeng sighed and said with a melancholy expression.

Nick Fury's lips twitched, and he nodded slightly in agreement.

The world is like paper in the face of her monstrous power.

In the face of such extraordinary power, ordinary people are as fragile as cheese, and can be destroyed at the slightest carelessness.

However, since Lu Yunmeng awakened her abilities, she has been dedicated to saving people and fighting crime, and she has always acted with great discretion, not recklessly.

Regardless of their motives, at least they have a high moral standard.

It's hard to say who else could have obtained such power.

Actually, Nick Fury isn't worried about those arrogant guys who become domineering after gaining superpowers; he's more worried about these seemingly harmless but actually terrifyingly strong guys.

"Put yourself in their shoes. If others had the same abilities, would they necessarily obey the law?"

Lu Yunmeng raised her eyebrows and continued speaking without changing her expression.

Nick Fury nearly choked, thinking: Good heavens, are those criminals who mysteriously disappeared in Los Angeles the result of her so-called "law-abiding"?

However, he dared not speak rashly. At the very least, when this person is willing to reason with you, you'd better take it seriously; otherwise, you'll witness her physical prowess...

“Lu, may I call you that?” Nick Fury asked politely after a moment’s hesitation.

Lu Yunmeng nodded in agreement with a detached look in her eyes.

She was too lazy to correct the Americans who always mispronounced her name, saying it sounded like a "donkey." They just said their tongues were tied in knots.

"Now that you are the leader of Blackwatch, will you still accept mercenary missions in the future?" Nick Fury continued to ask, a question that was of great concern to both him and S.H.I.E.L.D.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s current capabilities in dealing with supernatural crimes and alien invasions are relatively weak, making it difficult to achieve the desired results.

After all, the only ones who can deal with superpowered individuals are often superpowered individuals themselves.

Now, the only top-tier combat force in S.H.I.E.L.D. is the woman who disappeared without a trace after leaving behind a pager, and Captain America, who just joined. That's far from enough!

If possible, he hopes to continue to leverage Supergirl's reputation and power, even if she is not one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s 'own people,' to some extent deter the enemy.

“I don’t think the word ‘employ’ is accurate. If you can’t solve the problem, we’ll clean up the mess. It should be called ‘we’ll help you wipe your butt.’”

"If we were to handle everything ourselves, what would be the point of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Lu Yunmeng sneered and corrected some of the wordplay the other party was playing.

“I think ‘cooperation’ is a more fitting description,” she said, sitting upright and raising a finger as she spoke.

In an employment relationship, the initiative is generally in the hands of the employer, so there is no question of equality.

Although she previously held the title of an unofficial member of S.H.I.E.L.D., Lu Yunmeng actually only chose the missions she wanted to do.

Cooperation is based on equality, shared interests and values, and the two sides have built a deep trust and tacit understanding through long-term cooperation.

The key lies in the long term.

Blackwatch has just been established. Although it possesses formidable military power, it needs time to grow and needs a shield.

Simply put, he wants both force and connections.

S.H.I.E.L.D. can act as a shield, as a spokesperson, and handle the trivial matters within their capabilities.

If she could, she would prefer to devour the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., but clearly, Blackwatch doesn't have that kind of appetite right now.

This world is not simple.

"How exactly will we cooperate?" Nick Fury frowned and asked, puzzled.

"We want the nation to recognize our legitimate independence. Blackwatch will cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D. to some extent and help you solve any problems we can."

“It’s paid,” Lu Yunmeng said with a grin, quite naturally.

The Blackwatch organization has just been established, and its regular combat members, including a large number of Shadowguards, number in the tens of thousands.

Even with the support of Tony's Stark Industries, the amount of money needed to support so many people would be an extremely exaggerated astronomical figure.

Moreover, the air fortress needs renovation and even expansion. Where will the money come from? Of course, it's quickest to "fleece" others.

It looks similar to hiring, but the initiative has already begun to shift.

"This doesn't sound like a collaboration at all; at least I don't see any tangible benefits," Nick Fury said, shaking his head with a half-smile.

Good grief, wanting independence and money, it's like bringing back a father figure.

It's easy to acknowledge an organization's legitimacy, but difficult to acknowledge its independence.

Suddenly, an independent "mini-nation" appears? Sovereignty and unification mean it also needs territory? Would other countries agree to that? Isn't this just creating trouble for S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Nikolai was having a bit of a headache; this was something S.H.I.E.L.D. shouldn't have the authority to do.

“Nick, good people don’t deserve to be bullied~ You should understand what I mean.” A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lu Yunmeng’s eyes as she gave a meaningful, cold laugh.

Nick Fury is feeling bad; is Supergirl finally letting her guard down and showing her fangs?

Most importantly, he doesn't have a good solution yet!

From a physics perspective, to put it bluntly, if they take action, S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely be finished. Trying to solve the problem through public opinion won't solve the fundamental issue either.

This is like saying: I'm trying to reason with you now, but if you disagree, I'll show you my iron fist.

If Supergirl is truly driven to commit crimes using her superpowers, unless Carol is brought back, he has no idea who can punish her.
