Chapter 60 : Phil Coulson and Melinda May
"I swore an oath. We all did. To serve when everything else fails, to be humanity's last line of defense, to be the shield."
―Phil Coulson to his team
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gotham City, Harrison upscale hotel.
"Boss, look up behind you; what's that?" Melinda May suddenly said with a serious face.
Coulson, who was looking down at the report, immediately turned his head and looked behind him. Through the window, he saw a bright green beam of light from the southwest of the suburbs rushing straight into the sky.
Coulson walked quickly to the window and stared at the beam until it disappeared.
"May, where is that direction?"
Melinda crossed the map of Gotham City in his head and said, "It should be the manor of Bruce Wayne, the richest man in Gotham City."
Coulson frowned. "Are you sure?"
Melinda recalled again, this time in a very positive tone: "Yeah, it's Wayne Manor."
Since the last Gotham attack, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. has sent his most trusted agents to investigate, namely Phil Coulson and Melinda May.
Recalling the clues discovered in the past few days, Coulson found some interesting information in them.
For example, several corpses were about to be destroyed. Although they could not stop this behavior, they also took advantage of the staff's carelessness to intercept a small piece of flesh from the corpse.
After laboratory tests, it was found that these skin cells have very strong self-healing powers.
The people of the League of Assassins have never been in contact with them, but they have never discovered such a situation. So Coulson has two inferences. One is the latest research product of the League of Assassins, and the other is that other forces are involved in this matter.
And they also found two interesting people, one named Jude Herbert and the other named Ivy Pepper.
The reason why their identities can be locked is very simple. Among the people who appeared at the same time as the Bat-family, only two of them were not masked.
But in the next few days of investigation, these two people seemed to have evaporated, and there was no trace at all.
It wasn't until today that the technicians locked in on Jude Herbert's whereabouts again. Strangely, he walked out of the Wayne Building, which is very intriguing.
"How about it? Are you satisfied with my new toy?"
"It's so cool!" This is Damian's feeling.
"I agree." Red Hood also nodded.
"Isn't this... a bit too powerful?" Nightwing swallowed while pointing at the big pit in front of him.
Red Robin came forward and stroked the barrel lightly, his eyes glowing. Although Batman advocates not killing, it does not hinder their love for weapons, especially violent killers.
"Don't touch it! I have no interest in men."
"Also, don't underestimate this guy. This Gun hasn't activated its maximum power yet. I'm trying to suppress his excitement."
Bruce walked out of the battle armor and took a few heavy breaths before relieving his strength. As expected, he was too reluctant to control the battle armor with his broken body. He was able to sustain it purely through strong willpower.
"So, this is the new weapon you researched in the Wayne Building?"
"Yes, if you had it—what League of Assassins, what bigfoot—I could attack it, keep it, and tell him to roll back to his hometown."
Bruce hesitated for a moment but still said, "Please use it with caution!"
"By the way, what is the name of this weapon?" Stephanie asked curiously.
Jude paused: "It was originally a weapon without a name, but since you asked, it happens to be a bright moon today, so call it a green waltz."
Ivy asked excitedly, "Jude, where is it stored? It seems to have suddenly changed."
"It's easy, you see."
Following Jude's words, the dark red metal thread covering half of his body began to shrink, the one-meter-long barrel began to shrink, and in the blink of an eye, it turned back to the palm-sized lighter.
Jude threw the green waltz to Ivy, who was so frightened that she hurriedly reached out to pick it up. The exquisite little pistol was unbiased and dropped in her chest. After being clamped, there was no sign of a drop.
"Wow..."
Stephanie and Bridget looked at their chests, and both bowed their heads in shame.
Red Robin murmured, "It's a different treatment."
"Huh, treating you differently? If you know what I'm going to do next, you won't complain about treating you differently."
"What?"
Jude returned to the car. The driver was already scared and disappeared. He opened the door and took out the healing potion that had just been made.
"One for each person; inject one by yourself. Alas! I finally made a few more, and now I ran out." Jude said, taking the remaining potions into his arms.
The bat family rolled their eyes, just as they hadn't seen it.
The recovery potion penetrated their body, and within a moment, the bodies of several people were completely restored, without even the slightest discomfort. They couldn't help but be surprised. This Jude Herbert is an infinite surprise.
This is the end of the matter. They can no longer stay at Wayne Manor. This shot will not only destroyed the villa but also the bat cave below. It will take a while to rebuild.
"Alfred, you, Mr. Herbert, and Miss Ivy and Bridgit will leave first. Let's go to Manor Three."
"Master, what about you?"
Damian clenched his fist. "Of course, we are going to settle this account with Owl."
Jude had no intention of interfering with the grievances between the Bat family and the Court of Owls. Instead, Bridgit insisted on going with him.
Nightwing persuaded Bridgit: "Bridgit, this is the matter of the Bat family; you don't need to participate; after all, no one knows how much power is still hidden in the hands of the court."
Bridgit immediately rejected Nightwing's advice: "You don't understand; I was tortured in the depths of Arkham for two years, and the Court of Owl is the leader behind it, and my hatred is not shallower than yours."
"Besides, I promised a person back then. Of course, maybe he can no longer be called a person. I must avenge him and kill everyone in Arkham, including these owls."
As for Firefly, Jude naturally understood what was going on. When they escaped from the depths of Arkham, the bull was smashed into two pieces by the door to protect a few people, and his dying wish was to kill and Light them up.
"Let her follow. Dozens of Talons died at a time. Even if the court still has power, it will not be much. I don't think you will encounter too much resistance in this action."
Jude was there to help; even Bruce was too embarrassed to refuse; after all, they just saved the lives of the entire Bat-family.
Seeing Bruce nodding, Stephanie smiled and took Bridget's hand. "Welcome to the team."
