Chapter XVIII: The Mutant Act
Washington, Trident Building
This building is the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. on the surface, although there will always be people on duty or errands inside, but Nick Fury, as the director, will not work here, unless there are some special circumstances.
Just like today!
Nick Fury sat in his office very angrily, constantly losing his temper, because this mutant exposure incident S.H.I.E.L.D. was negligent! Although there will definitely be interference from their old friend Hydra, they shouldn't lose so completely!
Nick Fury stared at the agent in front of him solemnly and said, "Haven't found the reason yet?" Then find it for me! Don't make excuses for me, we're a secret service organization, not a police department!! ”
The agent kept wiping his sweat and said intermittently, "Yes, Director, but ・・・・・・" before he could finish his sentence.
"No, but!! Gotta find me, there must be enemies between us, find them for me! ”
Nick Fury's tone was unmistakable, and the agent nodded his head and was kicked out by Nick Fury.
Bell bell bell!
The phone rang.
“BOSS! Just now, Congress has officially passed the "Mutant Registration Act", and is ready to make their list mandatory public! ”
Nick Fury was furious and yelled, "Damn it! Don't these bastards know that there is a super dangerous existence in mutants? If it is really necessary to force the disclosure of their identities, it will eventually lead to a war between mutants and humans! Damn, hurry up and send someone over to delay this matter as much as possible, I don't want to listen to any excuses, I just want the result, I'll go now!! After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Nick Fury was really furious, and roared: "These people are really interesting, do you really think that you can enslave all mutants if you have more people, isn't there anyone who looks at the information we sent to them?" Damn the moths!! ”
There was a knock on the door.
Nick Fury took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then said lightly, "Come in!" ”
The door opened, and Agent Hill, dressed in a black uniform, walked in with a blank face.
Nick Fury's face softened slightly, and he asked, "Agent Hill, what's going on?" What did Professor X say? ”
Agent Hill reported lightly, "I talked to Professor X and them, and I also used the brainwave enhancement machine to find out, but I couldn't find the true identity of the Hero. So I had my agents cause an accident with the intention of luring the Shadow but it didn't appear, and it's likely that he still has abilities we didn't know about. The good news is that Professor X and they are ready to send someone to contact Shadow, but they have one condition! ”
After hearing this, Nick Fury said, "What conditions?" ”
Agent Hill said, "They want us to help them, and have Professor X's student, Phoenix, come to Congress for a research seminar on mutants so that Congress can repeal the Mutant Registration Act." ”
Nick Fury was puzzled and asked, "I also just found out about this news, how did Professor X know about them?" ”
Agent Hill said lightly, "Professor X said that he heard it by chance when he was using the brainwave enhancement machine, and then he used their fighter plane to send me here!" ”
Nick Fury gritted his teeth and said, "They're demonstrating!! ”
Agent Hill said lightly: "They have this strength!" And their actions are relatively modest. ”
Nick Fury said lightly: "Got it, go to the scientific research department to investigate the brain and see if there are any traces of modification!" Now we can't trust anyone! ”
Agent Hill frowned, then said with relief, "Yes, sir! With that, he turned and left the office.
Nick Fury touched his bald head a little irritably, then picked up the phone and said, "Call me to the White House!" ”
===================================================
On the other side, Rofus Avenue in Queens, New York.
A fashion jewelry store where a robbery is taking place.
A couple of gangster-looking young men, led by a young man with messy hair dyed in a mess of colors and dressed in a beggar's costume (well, it's actually a rather peculiar costume), were happily packing the gold, silver, and diamond ornaments from the display case into a school bag, and what they had in common was that the bloodthirsty bat tattooed on their arms seemed to be a gangster.
Suddenly, a young man walked in and said, "Boss Jack, the police are here, hehe, it's up to you!" ”
The man known as Jack's Boss, who was molesting a beautiful waiter in the jewelry store, heard his subordinates' words and laughed: "Aha, these guys are finally here, let's go, let you see the strength of your boss, and then let our Bat Gang dominate Queens!! ”
He smiled arrogantly, put one hand around the trembling waiter, and led his men to the door.
At the entrance of the jewelry store, three police cars had gathered, eight policemen were staring at the door with their pistols, and a figure who seemed to be their head was holding a bullhorn and shouting for the people inside to release the hostages and surrender.
--------------------------------------
Jack is an orphan who lives in a small town that is not well-known, but he has a decent life. But since a group of gangsters came there, his life has become different, every day by those gangsters bullied, Jack, who was born timid, did not dare to call the police or tell others, can only bear the bullying of the gangsters in silence, until one day, his pendant was broken by the gangsters, which was the only gift given to him by the old man who adopted him, and it was also the only evidence that made him feel that there was still warmth in this world.
This credential was destroyed at the same time as Jack broke out!! Don't die in silence, just explode in silence!
He awakens his superpowers, but of course he later learns that it's called mutant abilities, and Jack uses his mutant abilities to kill the gangsters.
But instead of being treated as a hero, he was hated and feared by everyone, and some even called him the spokesman of the devil. He was confused and scared, and finally angrily killed a guy who insulted the old man who had adopted him, and then entered the man's house to rob him, and finally came to New York with the money he had obtained from the robbery.
After coming to New York, the existence of mutants is exposed, and Jack also knows that he is not sick, nor is he a monster, but a new race above humans - mutants. So he gathered some thugs, established the so-called Bat Gang with his increasingly powerful mutant ability, and then planned today's operation, he wanted everyone to know that he was no longer the coward who was bullied casually, but the real ruler of Queens, New York!
------------------------------
The policemen guarding in front of the jewelry store looked at the few people who came out of the door and immediately raised their vigilance, after all, the other party still had a hostage in his hand, so he had to be cautious, but they obviously underestimated the enemy this time, and obviously did not expect that the world that really belonged to supernatural abilities was finally coming.
Jack walked out, looked at the sheriff who kept shouting, smiled mockingly, and said, "You guys listen to Lao Tzu, from today on, my Batjack is the boss of Queens, and all those who are dissatisfied are like this!! After saying that, he opened his mouth and shouted out a fluctuation that humans could hear.
I saw a wave in the air that could not be seen by the naked eye instantly hit a police car in front of me, and then the police car was thrown into the sky by a huge force, and finally landed on the road a few hundred meters later, almost injuring the people watching the excitement over there.
The policemen were stunned, and then they were a little glad that they had just gotten out of the car, otherwise they would have fallen into a steel burger this time. Fortunately, it was a headache after that, because the biggest problem now came, that is, the person in front of him must be a mutant, but just relying on himself and other ordinary human police, how to fight against this mutant, or how to protect himself?
Obviously, they don't have a bottom in their hearts, so they can only secretly pray that the Shadow can come over as soon as possible to help them get through this difficulty.
Jack looked at the looks of the policemen, and became even more arrogant, and said: "Haha, I see my strength, uncle, hurry up and call for support, I will let everyone know today, I!" Batjack is invincible and I will be the true master of this Queens! ”
Just then, a faint voice interrupted him: "I'm sorry, it's time to wake up from your sweet dream!" It's not my business if you daydream and don't need money, but it's not good to confuse dreams with the real world!! ”
