Blood sprayed from their chests as they crumpled to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brunette woman watched, eyes wide with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AH!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brain froze for seconds before she screamed her lungs out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde-haired beauty's brow twitched. She lifted a long leg and stomped on the woman's forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Crack!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the sound of snapping bones, a dent formed in the brunette's skull. Her eyes went blank as she collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde-haired woman quickly stripped off the brunette's black leather outfit and put it on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed the guards' guns, snatched the brunette's car keys and phone, and slid into the Mercedes convertible, peeling out with a roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the engine's sound faded, a jewelry store clerk peeked out, trembling, and dialed 911.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mercedes ignored traffic lights, tearing the road like a bat out of hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her driving was flawless, speeding at 100 kilometers per hour without so much as a scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her reckless driving scared the shit out of other drivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car was too fast, though, leaving them honking angrily at her taillights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde-haired woman drove with one hand, using the other to connect the phone to the internet. One finger morphed into a thin needle, jabbing into the phone's internals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spark of electricity shot from the needle, hijacking the phone completely, bypassing all restrictions and maxing out its performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used the networked phone to search for Jason Walter's location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jason was making waves today—every news outlet and social platform was buzzing with his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds later, she pinpointed his exact location, cranked the wheel, and sped toward Times Square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Washington, D.C., Triskelion HQ, Director's Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick Fury set down his phone, head throbbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Joker Organization case fell under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s jurisdiction, and his phone was blowing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Police chiefs, governors, senators, FBI, CIA—every government and law enforcement agency was hounding him, demanding solutions to this shitstorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury looked up. The long conference table was packed with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 7 agents, his trusted inner circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office was deathly quiet, the atmosphere heavy as fuck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They never imagined Clint would get nabbed by the Joker Organization and tortured beyond recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even less did they expect the Joker Organization to be so batshit insane as to stage a live broadcast at Times Square, New York's fucking landmark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over 300 million Americans, plus countless overseas viewers, watched the feed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was too big. One wrong move, and S.H.I.E.L.D. would face punishment from top to bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought weighed on them like a goddamn boulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, Fury spoke. \"Alright, let's hear it. What's your take on this? Speak freely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone jumped in immediately. \"No take, but we can't pay that money. I say we send multiple armed choppers to hit Jason from a distance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly! Even if we can't kill him, we drive him out. S.H.I.E.L.D. and the government can't be jerked around by a terrorist group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agreed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their comrade strung up in the square, everyone was pissed, itching to skin Jason alive. No way they'd agree to a deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury nodded. Like family, his trusted agents thought like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they bowed to Jason, decades of counter-terrorism work would be for nothing, and the U.S. government's authority would be fucked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If global terrorist groups saw America as weak, it'd spark a surge in attacks, causing losses far beyond imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you all agree, start prepping. Even if it fails, we don't surrender.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S.H.I.E.L.D. is the shield for the U.S. and the world. If the shield falls, the world's done for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Knock, knock, knock.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knock at the door drew all eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury called, and the high-tech door unlocked automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stansfield strolled in, grinning, scanning the agents. \"Having a meeting? Sorry to interrupt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were met with over twenty hostile glares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Stansfield stayed smug, grinning like a prick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Heh, I love it when you hate me but can't do shit about it.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a murderous glare hit him. Stansfield, sensitive to mental vibes, looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a woman with short reddish-brown hair—Level 7 agent Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since returning to S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ, Fury and Coulson had briefed her on recent events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Jason being a massive pain in the ass, the one to watch was Norman Stansfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury suspected he was Jason's mole but lacked hard evidence. Worse, Stansfield had somehow cozyed up to Secretary Alexander, thriving in S.H.I.E.L.D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury's instincts were sharp. If he suspected Stansfield, the guy was dirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her close friend Clint brutalized, Natasha's rage had nowhere to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Stansfield now was like pouring gas on a fire. Her fury boiled over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't one to back down from torture games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Natasha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury's heavy tone cut through her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha sighed. She knew now wasn't the time to fuck someone up and turned away, fuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury looked at Stansfield. \"Agent Stansfield, what's up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stansfield nodded. \"Director, the Secretary wants you upstairs. The World Security Council wants your plan for this. Until they approve, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s operations are on hold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A friendly heads-up: the Council's grilling you for your recent fuck-ups. If your answers don't satisfy them, you might be out of a job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stansfield's words dropped like a bomb, and the room exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were about to move on Jason, and now the Council was stepping in, halting everything and demanding accountability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These dumbass politicians were useless at best, disastrous at worst!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plan's on hold till I'm back,\" Fury said, standing and heading for the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might be Director, but S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't his personal playground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The World Security Council controlled the budget, tying his hands tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Triskelion's top floor, Secretary Alexander was in a video conference with the Council's five members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advanced holographic tech projected their images clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury walked in, and a councilor immediately spoke. \"It's been twenty minutes since the Times Square incident. With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s efficiency, you must have a plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury stood in the center, calmly laying out the agreed-upon strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're planning military action in Times Square? Are you fucking insane?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The U.S. councilor roared, brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury explained, \"Sir, if we don't act against the Joker Organization, are we just supposed to hand over five billion dollars? Where's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s dignity? The U.S. government?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The councilor scoffed. \"Government dignity? Sounds like you're just pissed. The Joker Organization caught your agent, and you're out for revenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Fury could retort, the councilor continued, \"Why do you think Jason chose Times Square for his show? Just to show off? He's daring you to act, knowing you can't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Times Square is New York's—hell, America's—calling card. There are over thirty corporate HQs and forty malls nearby. One stray missile, and the damage will dwarf five billion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five councilors fired off like a machine gun, giving Fury no room to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a financial perspective, paying to end this was the cheapest option. Fury had no counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their barrage, the U.S. councilor spoke. \"Given your recent performance, the Council believes you're no longer fit to lead S.H.I.E.L.D.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury, expressionless, replied, \"I accept the decision and nominate Level 9 agent Maria Hill as the new Director.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll consider it. Until a suitable replacement is found, S.H.I.E.L.D. will be under the Council's direct control. All actions require our approval.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury asked, \"And Jason? How's the Council handling him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexander stepped in. \"We've decided. First, we'll pull five billion from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s budget as ransom to appease the Joker Organization.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, we'll deploy surveillance satellites to monitor all cards, phones, computers—tracking every Joker Organization member closely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Fury was out, Alexander didn't mention the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Council had greenlit his \"Insight Plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read advance chapters and view R-18 images of the characters on pat reon page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>pat reon.com\u002FGreenBlue17\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>500 power stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top 50.
