I'm a hero in Marvel

Mindy and Laura sat together on a park bench near the Bronx Zoo, both holding a double-flavored ice cream cone, strawberry and vanilla. Mindy talked nonstop while Laura listened quietly, occasionally interjecting.

"Do you think those pretty boys who are popular with girls are really attractive?" Mindy asked Laura about her views on the popular aesthetics in school. Because of her unique views, Mindy often felt that she was out of tune with her classmates.

Laura put one hand on her thigh to support her face. She savored the ice cream slowly while listening to Mindy's words. She wore a pair of new jeans with shiny patches on the pockets, full of youthful vitality. She paired it with a T-shirt with a cute Zelda pattern. Although Laura didn't know who Zelda was, she liked the playful image and bought the clothes.

Mindy accompanied her to the store to choose these clothes. In addition to clothes, they also visited shoe stores and jewelry stores and bought many small things that little girls like. For example, they wore the same bracelet on their hands, woven with brown elastic ropes and decorated with some Indian-style metal ornaments. Although the bracelet is not expensive, it means a lot to Laura because it is the first gift she received from Mindy.

This period of time was the happiest time for Laura. She had a comfortable bed instead of the hard bed in the laboratory; she had colorful and beautiful clothes instead of the same old hospital gown; she had delicious food, and sometimes Mindy would bring special snacks. More importantly, Laura experienced the warmth of friendship. Although Mindy was lively and active, Laura was quiet and steady. Although they had different personalities, it did not affect them becoming best friends. At this moment, Laura looked at Mindy quietly and listened to her campus stories, whether they were happy or troubled.

Mindy sometimes complains about the school, but she is always careful not to involve Laura's problems. As for Laura's past, Mindy respects her choice and never asks too much.

When Mindy finally finished talking about the trivial things in school, she found that her ice cream was melting and her hands were covered with cream. "Ugh." She quickly finished the remaining ice cream, but the stimulation of the cold drink gave her a headache.

"Are you okay?" Laura asked with concern when she saw Mindy's look.

"Not bad." Mindy recovered after a while and said helplessly, "It's just that it's summer vacation now. I can't go to school, and I can't go out with my dad and the others. Do you find it annoying if I come to play with you every day?"

Laura shook her head, her long chestnut hair fluttering gently with her movements: “As long as you are willing to play with me, I am always welcome.”

Mindy heard Laura's answer and gave her a thumbs up.

"You know what? I've been thinking about what we could do this summer," Mindy said, resting her chin on her hands.

Laura glanced at her: “What do you want to do?”

"You know, Laura, there are many heroes on the streets of New York right now," Mindy said excitedly, "It's all because of the Night Walker video that inspired many people to come out and maintain law and order and do good deeds."

"Hmm?" Laura responded softly.

"So, how about we form a team this summer and show our talents in New York?!" Mindy put forward her idea with sparkling eyes.

For Mindy, such days are indeed a bit boring. Although playing with Laura is fun, she feels that it can't be limited to this. The little girl always has some bigger plans, such as making Hit-Girl active again. After all, this once sensational name has been silent for more than a year.

This won't do. Even if Mindy is no longer in the martial arts world, there is still a legend about her. She can't accept this. What she wants is not only a legend, but also the freedom to roam freely in the martial arts world.

In the past year, she has been closely supervised by the Night Watch and feels that she is about to become rigid. Especially after receiving training from the Night Watch, Mindy feels that her abilities have improved, but she has no chance to practice, which makes her unbearable.

Especially since the heroic video of Nightcrawler went viral on the Internet, it has inspired many people to join the ranks of street justice. Whether they have superpowers or not, they have begun to take the initiative to maintain order and fight crime. These street vigilantes do not specialize in dealing with gangs or terrorist crimes like the Night Watch, but they protect the city in their own way.

Doing so would bring great risks. After Li Jie discovered the craze caused by his short video, he began to pay attention to controlling the direction of public opinion.

Many people discussed on the Night Watch forum about establishing a street vigilante team similar to the Night Watch. This is not an easy task. If someone really has problems while serving as a vigilante, such as being attacked by gangs or accidentally hurting innocent people, this will set off a huge wave of public opinion. This will make many people question the legitimacy and stability of street vigilantes.

Will the increasing number of masked vigilantes make the government regard them as potential destabilizing factors? You know, the Superhero Registration Act was promoted because of this kind of thing.

Lee knows this well, so he joined forces with other heroes on Night Watch’s social media and his own personal platform to call for action on how vigilantes and the New York City police can collaborate.

Because Li Jie and Peter had reached a cooperation consensus with George Stancy before, the New York City Deputy Police Commissioner was not surprised when they approached George again.

"Let's make those vigilantes informal members of the police department?" George asked doubtfully. "They don't have the power to enforce the law. To be honest, many vigilantes are just ordinary people, or people with ordinary super powers."

George looked at Li Jie and Peter deeply and said, "Most of them don't have the strength you two have, and their emotional intelligence and logical reasoning may not be as good as yours. To be honest, this matter has just started and is still within control, but it will become a problem when there are too many people."

Li Jie did not refute. He said, "That's right, but we can't ignore their existence just because they didn't show up before. Maybe someone has been doing it quietly for a long time, but we just don't know about it. Burying your head in the sand and escaping is not a good idea, Sheriff."

"Just like we can maintain good cooperation with the New York City Police Department, I think these people can do the same." Li Jie said seriously, "As long as you promise not to force every vigilante to reveal their identity. As you said, many people are ordinary people or ordinary superpowers. If their true identities are exposed, their daily lives may be affected."

George patted his cheek and said nonchalantly: "I have never traced the true identity of you and Spider-Man. Just like the undercover and plainclothes police in the police station. I know what to do and what not to do."

In this regard, George, as a senior policeman, is obviously different from those politicians who want to control all power. George is more pragmatic and understands the mentality of the grassroots people better.

When he was a grassroots policeman, many clues came from people who did not want to reveal their identities, so he continued to ask: "However, how do you think we can keep them from crossing the line and beyond the scope of the law? As the most influential street heroes, do you night watchmen have any suggestions?"

Li Jie looked at George and said, "Actually, Sheriff, have you ever paid attention to the news in China, especially in Beijing? Especially regarding public security."

George crossed his fingers. "Occasionally, but not often. There are rarely any major and sensational cases in Beijing, so I don't know much."

Li Jie raised his index finger and pointed: "In fact, as a super-large city, Beijing's population density may be higher than that of New York. Such a large city will produce a large number of cases every day."

George nodded, agreeing with Li Jie's point of view. He didn't believe that a city with a population of 20 to 30 million could be peaceful every day. This was not a utopia.

Li Jie went on to say: "In Beijing, many cases have just happened, or even before they happened, the police have caught them. Whether it's drug trafficking, illegal gambling, or illegal underground transactions."

George became interested: "How do they do it?" He knew that Beijing's police force was no larger than New York City's, and it was impossible to have police stationed in every community.

"Because Beijing has several very powerful civil organizations that work closely with the police department," Li Jie said seriously. "They help discover crimes in corners and places that the police cannot reach and cannot see."

"You mean secret service organizations and secret police? Like the FBI in the old days?" George didn't like this kind of thing because secret police often brought chaos and abuse of power.

"No, no, of course not." Li Jie shook his head. "It is a group of civil groups that cooperate with the police tacitly, provide intelligence, and the police decide how to act. The police will not pursue the details of anonymous people excessively. I think this model is very suitable for the current situation in New York."

"So, these organizations have official names?" George asked.

"Of course, they include the 'Fengtai Persuasion Team' and the 'Haidian District Netizens'." Li Jie said seriously, "The two most powerful ones are called 'Xicheng Aunties' and 'Chaoyang Masses'!"

George fell into deep thought after hearing this. It is a practical proposal to incorporate a group of ordinary people with special skills or enthusiasm for community security into the informal organization of the New York Police Department.
