Marvel's Joker Game

Chapter 23 The Fan of Heroes and Shadows

What Fury asked Roger to do was actually quite normal and not a dangerous task.

It was nothing more than going to find Tony Stark to confirm how he escaped from the clutches of terrorists. This matter should have been Coulson's job, but as an eighth-level agent, Coulson had a lot to do. Fury He temporarily changed his mind and went to do this, which showed that he had a certain amount of trust in Roger.

Tony Stark is an important partner of the military. His father is also one of the founders of SHIELD and has great influence in the United States.

Getting Tony's support is very important to Fury, at least in terms of funding.

It has to be said that Fury's move is suspected of being a big deal.

"One more thing. Recently, a bat monster appeared in the area where you live. He often appears at night and fights against street gangsters and robbers. It is said that he is very skilled. If you have time, go and observe it for me. Check with that person and see if it's possible to convince him to work for SHIELD."

"This is a photo taken by a busybody at the scene. Take a look."

Fury handed him a photo.

Roger took a look and saw that the man in the photo was standing on a tall building with a black cape and a black bat mask. Although it was very blurry, it could be seen that the man's figure was comparable to that of a bodybuilder.

Could it be that it's really Batman?

Roger was stunned, thinking that maybe it was really Batman. Even Harley Quinn had traveled through time, so why couldn't Batman travel through time?

"Leave it to me. If he is reliable, I will find a way to persuade him to join us." Roger took over the small job.

It seems that Fury is very keen on recruiting talents and tries his best to collect all kinds of ghosts to work for him.

But it’s not so easy for the guy he’s attracted to to work for someone else.

That is the powerful hero in the DC world, the famous Batman

"Miss Potts, can you excuse me?"

At the door of the press conference, Roger, dressed in a crisp suit, cheekily greeted Pepper, who was presiding at the door.

"Excuse me, are you?" Pepper is still Tony's secretary. Tony's disappearance this time had a great impact and caused a lot of uproar. In order to stabilize the market value of Stark Industries, as soon as Tony came back, he held this meeting under the arrangement of the board of directors. press conference.

Countless mainstream media came to visit, hoping that Tony, who had escaped from danger, could bring them first-hand hot news.

As a secretary, Pepper needs to replace Tony, receive all kinds of people, and block unnecessary troubles.

"Hello, I am Agent Roger, working in the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Bureau. Since Mr. Stark's disappearance this time involves a terrorist organization, I hope to meet with him alone and make an investigation record. I hope you can Cooperate."

Roger introduced himself and handed over a business card.

Miss Potts glanced at it and said in disgust: "What a tough name to pronounce."

Roger tried to keep smiling: "To be honest, I feel the same way."

Little Pepper was amused by his humor. Although his attitude was not so cold, he still expressed his refusal.

"Many departments have contacted me, including the Department of Defense, the CIA, and the FBI. I can't even remember them."

"I know, but we are an independent department with more centralized functions. We are not comparable to those miscellaneous departments." Roger insisted.

"Okay, I will arrange it." Pepper said perfunctorily.

"Thank you"

Seeing that Pepper's tone became colder, Roger walked away knowingly.

This is just the first contact, and they are familiar with each other. If Pepper excuses himself and forgets, he will have a reason to visit again.

Mixing into the crowd, Roger quietly watched Tony, who had a scarred face on the stage, giving his first speech after returning to the United States.

After experiencing the catastrophe of life and death, this once high-spirited American figure, socialite and playboy with countless scandals no longer has the arrogance and romantic temperament he had before. At this time, he has become a lot more vicissitudes, and his hair is as messy as an injured tramp. .

With a bandage hanging on his left hand and a burger in his right hand, he squatted in front of the podium and chatted with reporters.

It is nothing more than an emotional speech made by some prodigal son who turned back and discovered his conscience, but it is very sincere and touching.

Of course, the focus is still on his shocking decision to shut down Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing department.

Reporters on the scene immediately became excited

This big news will definitely be the top news tomorrow

Black-hearted capitalists have actually given up on the hugely profitable weapons manufacturing industry, and the whole world will be shocked.

In the evening, Roger drove home. Even though he was prepared, he was still shocked by the atmosphere at the press conference.

The arms trade is undoubtedly one of the most profitable industries in the world, and its huge profits can only be compared to drugs.

After giving up the arms manufacturing industry, Stark's market value will inevitably shrink significantly.

However, even if Stark doesn't want this piece of cake, other arms dealers will fill this gap.

Tony's decision actually didn't change much for the world.

He was in a daze thinking about how to complete further contact with Tony, when he suddenly looked up and saw a cloaked shadow floating on the roof of the building in the distance.

Recalling the photo that Fury gave him, he became alert, turned the steering wheel, and chased in the direction of the black figure.

Hastily pulling the car over to the side of the road, Roger used the power of the Strange Eye to search for the shadow of the bat in the streets and alleys.

Soon, he found the target, quickened his pace, and lurked closer.

In a dark alley, rusty water pipes drip with sewage, and sewer rats crawl in the shadows.

The figure seemed to be aware of it and leaned against the wall at the corner, waiting for the person following him to arrive, probably hoping to sneak attack Roger.

But what he didn't expect was that Roger could see through any object within a hundred meters. Unless it was a long-distance sniper attack, there was no way he could sneak attack him.

Roger raised a smile on his lips, pretended not to know, and continued to walk over.

Just as he was about to turn into the alley, Batman suddenly took action, sweeping his thick arm towards his chest.

There was a muffled sound, and Batman's arm seemed to hit a transparent wall. He was only ten centimeters away from Roger's chest when he was knocked back.

Roger smiled silently. Just now, through the ability of the "Mime Master", he imagined that there was a thick wall in front of him, and this wall was enough to defend his lower body from human attacks.

Batman's greatest strength is his ability to make money, but he doesn't have any special powers.

"Why are you following me?" After being frustrated, Batman did not rush to attack, his deep voice echoed in the alley.

Roger reached forward, knocked on the invisible wall, and said with a smile: "You attacked me first, how can you accuse me of following you?"

"You are making meaningless excuses." Batman's sharp eyes penetrated the dark night, and his very sharp eyes revealed a dim light.

Roger shrugged, made a funny move, and said: "Okay, let me tell you the truth. A dark knight like you, lurking in the dark and going around to solve the harm in the city, can easily attract the attention of the government, and I was sent by a secret government department to investigate you."

"What I want to do has nothing to do with the government. Please go back and tell your superiors that I will not cause any trouble to them."

"It's not up to you. The people above have said that we will either recruit you to work for our organization or arrest you to prevent you from causing trouble." Roger said with a strange smile.

Batman's hoarse voice replied: "Really? Then just come and catch me."

Roger shook his head and said: "I don't want to use violence to solve the problem. You can think about it again. Our organization is called SHIELD. Among other things, it has the most abundant funds. Only we have the ability to provide the equipment you want. ."

Batman looked at him silently, as if he was trying to determine whether what this man said was credible. In his original world, he was a first-class rich man. He was never short of money, and he was a righteous man. He relied on the high technology accumulated by countless money. , and in this world, he lost everything he had.

Is Batman still Batman without his money powers?

His determination to defend peace has never wavered, but his current capabilities are limited.

"How do I know if you are from the government? If you are sent by an evil organization to deceive me, going with you will not lead to death," Batman tried.

As soon as Roger saw that there was something going on, he said, "You can follow me to the headquarters for a visit. If I lie to you, it will give you an excuse to eliminate me."

"I never kill anyone." Batman said calmly.

"That would be better." Roger took out a remote control and pressed the button. The roar of the engine and the sound of car tires rubbing against the ground were heard in the distance. Ten seconds later, a black car stopped in front of him.

"This car is the latest high-tech developed by SHIELD. If you join us, it will be given to you." Roger knocked on the front cover of the car and promoted hard.

Batman is used to seeing high-tech equipment, but with his critical eye, he has to admit that this car is indeed good, and he just lacks a suitable car.

"If you really want to give me this car, it won't be cheap." Batman walked up to the car, and after just a few glances, he saw that the outer shell of the black car had very high defense strength, and it also had the function of self-driving, even the tires. Solid tires are not afraid of being punctured.

"I said I'd send you off and I won't go back on my word. Get in the car. Even if you decide not to join us, it doesn't matter. At worst, you'll be interrogated for a few days and then you'll be out."

Roger opened the car door and asked him to get in.

Batman hesitated before getting into the passenger seat.
