The battle on the Manhattan streets had ended. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s specialized cleanup teams were quickly clearing the battlefield, ensuring that every tiny piece of debris was collected and taken back to base.
The HYDRA sniper was experienced; even with Jessica exposing his position, he didn't panic. He decisively abandoned his equipment, changed into civilian clothes, and calmly walked from the rooftop terrace into the building, disappearing into the crowd.
Jessica arrived at the rooftop and saw the sniper escape like a rat. Only a sniper rifle and a black uniform remained at the scene. Feeling frustrated, Jessica could only stomp on the black uniform, venting her anger.
Boom!
A huge explosion from the battlefield pulled Jessica back to reality. She hurriedly picked up the uniform and sniper rifle and flew back.
As soon as Jessica returned, she saw Agent Coulson standing awkwardly beside a sharp-looking Asian woman with black hair. "What happened? Agent Coulson."
"Uh, nothing much! Miss Jessica, we need you to come with us to S.H.I.E.L.D. We need to understand the details of your disappearance over the past few months and what happened today," Coulson understood both meanings in Jessica's words but only answered one.
"But..."
Coulson would try to persuade others kindly, but May wouldn't. Agent May said sternly: "There are no buts! Miss Jessica, S.H.I.E.L.D. has always protected this world from the threat of extraordinary powers! Now, look at the state of this street! Do you still want to avoid us?"
Coulson and May waited for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s cleanup crew to arrive. After completing the mission handover, they drove with Jessica to the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, the Triskelion.
On the car ride, Jessica suddenly asked as if she remembered something, "Aren't we taking the sniper rifle and the black clothes I brought back?"
"The other side is professional; they won't leave any clues on those items. Just leave them to the cleanup crew. They'll notify us if they find anything special," Coulson answered.
May drove silently, returning to headquarters at top speed. She led Jessica into an interrogation room and left.
Coulson sat facing Jessica. After a moment of silence, Jessica broke the ice, "Are you treating me like a criminal?"
"Don't misunderstand, Miss Jessica! If we really thought you were a criminal, why wouldn't we put you in handcuffs and conduct layers of checks? We just... well... we don't have a suitable place to put you. We can only inconvenience you for a while. So, shall we begin?" Coulson's originally amiable expression had also become a bit more serious.
"Fine! Ask whatever you want!" Jessica rolled her eyes.
"Do you know that black and purple armored person?"
"I think his name was Genm, but I don't know his real identity; I didn't see it. My memory isn't very clear, actually."
"Genm? What do you mean, your memory isn't clear?" Coulson pressed.
Jessica involuntarily recalled the memories related to Kilgrave, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"What's wrong? Jessica! Get a doctor here quickly!"
On the roof of the small warehouse, Zed jumped out of the Invisible Demon's cockpit and immediately slipped into the house.
After confirming it was safe, Zed collapsed on the folding bed, feeling utterly drained. He didn't want to move a single finger. In the first half of the night, Dan Kuroto had fought two battles with his own body, and in the second half, Zed had fought the Winter Soldier, Bucky.
His fight with Bucky was his first true battle in the Marvel universe. Zed could already use his martial arts to crush Bucky in his Winter Soldier state, but he didn't know how he'd fare against a Bucky who had regained his consciousness.
Furthermore, in Marvel, there was Captain America, the kind of person who could force a stalemate with any opponent, leveling the playing field and then using his vast experience and stamina to defeat them.
Most importantly, Bucky's use of guerrilla tactics at the end made Zed realize his shortcomings. Real combat is about using any means necessary; it's not like when his uncle trained him, setting up a confined space where no one could escape, only to kill or be killed.
The path to becoming the most wicked Ohma Zi-O is still long!
He turned his head and looked at the Ziku-Driver placed to the side, asking, "Shako, did you activate the Golden Eye? No one saw, right?"
The Ziku-Driver's screen lit up, and Dan Kuroto glanced at Zed: "When I was working as a behind-the-scenes mastermind, you were still playing in the mud!"
"Why are you so arrogant! You were still discovered by Kiriya!"
"What are you muttering?!"
"Uh~ Nothing, you misheard!"
"You must be talking about me!"
"Shako, are you okay? Need a refill?"
"Shut up! That guy couldn't possibly take one of my lives. I'll be back to full power in no time. I'm going to make all my Game Gashats and take down that one-armed bastard, hahaha~ ha-cough cough~ cough~"
Zed relaxed when he heard Shako was relatively normal, but then he immediately seemed to realize something: "Shako, what materials do you need to make Game Gashats?"
"My divine talent! Also, a supercomputer, a massive server, all kinds of memory transistors, and a huge amount of funds!"
Heh... screwed!
"I heard that my excellent agent was scared to the ground by a fake grenade? And that fake grenade didn't even exist!"
Coulson stood to the side, looking embarrassed. Although he knew he couldn't hide anything from Nick Fury, Fury already knew before he even reported the mission. It must have been May who snitched.
Soon after the jokes, Coulson began to report.
"Kilgrave, also known as the Purple Man, has the ability to control people's minds. His death has been confirmed. Jessica was missing for the past few months because she was under Kilgrave's control, during which she killed…"
"Skip it! Get to the point!" Nick Fury interrupted Coulson's report; he wasn't interested in such trivial cases.
"A black and purple cartoon armored man calling himself Genm has the ability to block Kilgrave's mind control. He clashed with Kilgrave in a restaurant, and his combat strength far exceeded that of Jessica, who was under control. Kilgrave was no match for Genm and escaped by breaking a window. Then there was the space transfer technology captured on surveillance footage."
"What is Genm's objective?"
"Undetermined, but after killing Kilgrave, Genm gave Jessica a watch. The watch is similar to the one Zi-O uses, possibly a basic version. The watch has been sent to the lab, and we'll have to wait for the test results."
"Then where did that sudden troop appear from? Why didn't our intelligence department have any information?"
"All the prisoners had poison hidden in their teeth, so..." Coulson was somewhat embarrassed.
After listening to Coulson's report, Nick Fury's expression remained unchanged. He continued, "How is Jessica doing?"
"The psychologist's assessment isn't optimistic. Kilgrave has left Jessica with serious psychological scars. She's probably... not suited for S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore," Coulson said with a touch of regret. After all, he was the one who initially contacted this somewhat chuuni girl.
Not only Coulson felt regret, but the expressionless Nick Fury was also disappointed. The Avengers Initiative, which he had been putting on hold, had finally started to make progress because of the emergence of these extraordinary powers.
And Jessica, a girl with a strong sense of justice, was at a prime time for personality development. Nick Fury considered her the easiest to persuade, but he hadn't expected this to happen.
Tony's Mark II was completed, and the perfectionist Tony immediately planned to develop the Mark III. But plans are just plans, and the long hours of closed-door research made Tony a little restless, so he came out to relax.
"Ethan, how's your body? The hospital here is much worse than the medical room in my villa. Oh~ I even brought you bananas."
"You're just eating the bananas you 'specially' brought for me?"
"Don't worry about it! I'll peel one for you too."
The two ate bananas and chatted casually. Ethan asked Tony, "The doctor said that if it weren't for the accompanying military doctor's emergency treatment, I wouldn't have made it here. Who did you learn your medical skills from?"
"Myself!"
(;O^O)
"Ahem~ Never mind that. Since you can't leave the hospital yet, I'll have to go to the ball by myself tonight. I miss the social scene of civilized society! Goodbye, Ethan."
"Have fun!"
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. laboratory, many scientists in white coats with messy hair were arguing around a blank watch face.
"The craftsmanship of this watch face is very crude, but the structure is extremely complex."
"Energy! The watch face contains unknown energy."
"I can't hold back anymore, I want to take it apart!"
"No, our tests aren't finished yet; it's not time to disassemble it!"
"Aaaah! How did this little watch become a motorcycle? I can't take it anymore!"
The only relatively calm person in charge walked over to Nick Fury. "Director, is the watch you sent really a transformation watch used by Zi-O?"
"Dr. Karl! I don't know if it's a transformation watch, but it's definitely in that category. Can you figure out the technology inside?"
"To be honest, it's difficult! The initial inspection of this watch is quite ordinary, but the energy detected by the instruments is very advanced. Such energy has never appeared on Earth before. I even think this is an alien object made by Earthlings using Earth materials!" The doctor answered truthfully.
Nick Fury was naturally dissatisfied with this answer. "Speed up the research, and report to me immediately!" Then he turned and left.
"We lack the correct means to activate the energy in the watch. How can we activate it?" Back at the blank watch, Dr. Karl also joined the discussion.
Suddenly, Nick Fury turned around abruptly and glared at Dr. Karl. "Activate! You just said activate!"
