New Game and “New” Teammates

To SHIELD's despair, the Joker succeeded once more.

Also, he had somehow taken 24 Strike members and 12 SHIELD agents with him.

Neither Rumlow, who had reached the Vermont border, nor the police officers who had charged into the cargo hold at the Maryland dock found anyone.

Even the guards who had been standing watch in the freighter had been taken.

This situation made everybody in SHIELD look at each other; they were under a lot of pressure.

Nick Fury, on the other hand, maintained a dark expression.

He didn't give too many orders, and nobody expected him to be able to do much either.

To solve the puzzle, finding the Joker was necessary.

The director wasn't psychic; he couldn't divine where the Joker was.

The rest of them could only do their best!

Feeling loathing for the Joker, and worried for their colleagues, the SHIELD staff got busy in the tense atmosphere.
