Transforming American comics starts with a leap of faith

Chapter 62 Your Fist Is Soft
A certain bar in Queens looks a little empty during the day.

"So, that's why you're looking for me?"

Kratos looked at the three people opposite, and said indifferently: "Who do you think I am, a wholesaler of strange things?"

Coulson and Catherine looked at each other, but Victoria, who was out of state, didn't seem to hear.

Feeling that Kratos seemed a little unhappy, Catherine chuckled and changed the subject awkwardly: "Your wristband is very beautiful, where did you buy it? Make me one too."

Kratos looked up at his right wrist and said, "I picked it up."

[The wrist armor of Theseus] The material looks like some kind of metal, the overall color is dark gold, and the decoration highlights an unknown meaning.

Rather than wearing it on the body, this thing should be placed in a museum, so that the style of painting is more normal... But considering Kratos' identity and image, the combination is not so abrupt.

Coulson stopped Catherine who wanted to say anything, and forcibly dragged back the topic that was about to go wrong.

"Let's be honest with Kratos, you and the clown obviously have some way to track these strange things, there is no reason why he can transform into superhumans, but you can't."

Kratos: "I do have a few in my collection, but why give it to her?"

He looked at Victoria and said flatly, "I don't think she can be a hero."

"Is it so troublesome? Why was it so simple back then..."

Catherine probably felt that Kratos was making things difficult for her best friend, and her tone was slightly dissatisfied.

But this question hit the nail on the head by accident.

It can't be said that the industry had just started at that time, and the distribution of hero templates was still in the experimental stage. At the same time, she wanted to use her status as a reporter for mainstream newspapers.

"Cough, on the one hand, you and the Piltover policewoman are more compatible, on the other hand...the situation is different now, blind and unrestrained use of strange things will inevitably lead to serious consequences."

Coulson looked solemn: "What do you mean?"

"There is a price for wanton use of the power of strange objects, and this price may have to be borne by many people."

Coulson frowned thoughtfully.

squeak……

There was a sound of tires rubbing against the ground outside the door, and the sports car stopped with a beautiful flick.

This cool appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Kratos and the others.

Tony Stark walked in wearing tawny sunglasses.

Under the gaze of the four people, he apologized without shame: "I'm sorry I was late, and I was delayed by some trivial matters."

Everyone spread their hands.

Tony is an old pigeon, lateness is to be expected.

"Why are you dating here?" As soon as he was seated, Tony taunted: "Is there anything unusual about this broken bar?"

Catherine who picked this place curled her lips: "Congratulations on getting out of autism."

Tony raised his eyebrows and was about to retort, but Coulson quickly stopped him.

This good old man was a little nervously broken by this gang of thorns.

He asked directly without hesitation: "If I understand correctly, if there are too many heroes, it will bring new dangers."

Kratos nodded.

Tony: "But there will always be more and more people affected by strange objects, just like me, who just studied an ancient stone tablet and was inexplicably transformed."

This seemingly idle billionaire said in one sentence:

"If that crisis is destined to come, we must adopt a more active response strategy and prepare sufficient strength to solve it."

Coulson smiled: "Stark, you must have a good chat with my chief."

Nick Fury is indeed very similar to Tony Stark. When they face possible dangers, their first reaction is to gather enough strength to deal with it, instead of trying their best to delay it.

The two looked at Kratos together.

"Well, you have convinced me on this point," Kratos said with a cold expression, "but there is another question that has not been resolved. Does Victoria qualify to be a hero?"

"Damn it, I'm fed up with you bald head, I know what you mean, come on, have a fight, I'll let you see if I'm qualified for you today!"

Victoria slammed her wine glass down on the table, left her seat angrily, and walked towards the empty dance floor.

Catherine looked at Victoria like a fairy, and said to herself: That's Kratos, do you know who you are provoking?

Coulson scratched his head, feeling that he was shot innocently.

Such a big movement naturally alarmed others, and the staff shouted: "Hey, if you break something, you have to pay for it!"

Tony didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement: "Call your boss, I bought this bar."

Su Ge secretly smiled, looked at Victoria who was already warming up, and slowly stood up.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but in the eyes of several people, this guy's figure seems to be taller than before.

Just standing there, the strong sense of presence and invincible momentum give people the illusion of looking up at the mountains.

Victoria wants to make two moves with such a character?

Kratos walked across from Victoria, five meters apart, and simply moved his neck without speaking.

He stretched out his right hand and made a "come here" gesture.

Full of sarcasm.

Victoria took a stance and skillfully hit a straight punch, but was caught by Kratos.

In the shocked eyes of others, Kratos slammed Victoria to the ground like throwing a wombat.

The solid landing sound made Catherine, Tony, and Coulson all feel teeth ache.

They weren't surprised by Kratos' fighting power. This one-sided situation was inevitable. Even if Victoria was twenty times stronger, it would be impossible to win.

But they were surprised by Kratos's effort...too ruthless.

If Coulson hadn't stopped her, Catherine would have gone up to break up the fight.

This slap was ruthless. Although Victoria did not lose consciousness, she tried several times, but failed to get up from the ground.

I just feel like my whole body is falling apart.

Kratos shook his head in disappointment.

"Your fist is as soft as your belief."

Noticing Victoria's clenched fist, he continued to taunt: "What are you running away from?"

Kratos' question pierced his heart.

Victoria has been asking herself this question ever since the message she received from her sister that day.

What am I running from?
In the past, she kept telling herself: I want my sister to have a better life and let her grow up healthily like a normal person.

But the younger sister who walked into the abyss told her that she didn't want to be her burden.

Only then did Victoria understand that it was herself who really longed to be a normal person.

It is precisely because she has seen real chaos that Victoria yearns for order like never before; it is precisely because she has seen irreparable evil that Victoria can not restrain her pursuit of justice.

It's a pity that it's too late. In Hell's Kitchen, she has done too many irreparable mistakes.

She was already a sinner.

After leaving Hell's Kitchen, Victoria placed this longing forcefully on Jin Na, but never paid attention to her sister's thoughts and desires.

She just thought it was good.

All along, she was just a coward hiding behind her sister.

She has been running away, running away from her past sins.

But now, Victoria was inevitable.

"You don't even have the courage to look directly into your heart, and you still want to be a hero?"

bang.

At some point, Victoria's fists condensed into two large metal gloves, and the hammer directly left a deep hole on the ground.

Standing up with difficulty, she seemed to have two fires burning in her eyes.

Victoria... Forget it, let’s just talk about Wei, her face was full of anger, and she yelled:
"Baldhead, don't look down on people!"

After that, he punched him.
