Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

"Bam—"

During the morning rush hour in New York, Lucy Lang had just stepped out of the subway and bought a sandwich and a cup of coffee that seemed to be brewed three days ago at the street corner. Just as she was about to cross the street and enter the company building, a loud noise frightened her hands. With a shake, the bread, cucumber and mayonnaise slammed on the ground in a terrifying shape, just like the middle-aged man who smashed the roof of the Rolls Royce not far away.

"Damn it." Lucy Lang calmly looked at the crowd gradually closing in, took a sip of coffee, and the white paper fluttering in the wind with the man jumping off in the sky was like the wings of an angel sending him to heaven.

"Good morning, Lucy." A sunny boy with headphones and a briefcase passed by Lucy.

"Hey, Jimmy." Lucy called out the boy's name, knelt down to pick up the unedible sandwich, and threw it to the mouth of the puppy led by the homeless man on the street. Nestled in the arms of the master.

Jimmy looked into the distance: "Who jumped?"

"Who knows, it's already the third one this month. It costs ten dollars, and it's still a middle-level supervisor."

Whenever there is a financial crisis, the company starts to lay off employees, and the high-level employees can't be moved. The cheap employees like Lucy don't have to be laid off. The unlucky ones are those veterans who have worked hard in the company for more than ten years but only rely on their qualifications to get into the supervisory position. Employees, most of these people are in debt, have families, and suffer from a mid-life crisis. Layoffs are undoubtedly the last straw that breaks their spirits.

After Lucy finished speaking, she rushed into the company building without looking back.

"Aren't you going to take a look to confirm your conclusion?" Jimmy glanced at the suicide scene twice, and seemed to be struggling whether to join in the fun.

Lucy raised her wrist and counted the time, "We still have two minutes and 29 seconds to swipe our fingerprints, otherwise we will be deducted wages for being late again today. Compared with the small bet of five dollars, I think Salary is more important."

"What a cruel heart, Queen Elsa." With a dramatic gesture, Jimmy rushed into the elevator with Lucy.

Lucy Lang, one of the miserable office workers in New York City, has a very clear definition of herself in this city that best embodies the brutality of capitalist exploitation of workers. She is a worker ant, the most inconspicuous and the most Cheap labor, but she couldn't get rid of this status.

Of course, she has another identity, Lu Qi, which is her original name.Before the crossing, she had just gone to CBS to spend a three-month internship on the recommendation of CBS, but when the plane was about to land in New York, a giant tornado accompanied by blue lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, and the plane went straight to the sky. She crashed straight into it, and was torn apart by a powerful force. When she woke up again, Lu Qi had turned into Lucy Lang.

Who is Lucy Lang?A girl from the Texas countryside, a country bumpkin through and through, in Lu Qi's memories, most of them are the scene of watching the stars on the stacked straw in the barn, and the scene of the alcoholic wiping the beer froth off his beard in the bar, There is also the day-to-day domestic violence of parents, which is poor and repetitive, making people feel that life is hopeless.No wonder Lucy was desperate to escape from that kind of place.

As soon as she graduated from college, she got an offer from the American Orion Insurance Company. This is a new insurance company with good development prospects, if... if it doesn't offer that "superhero compensation insurance" bullshit insurance.

Ever since Tony Stark announced that he was Iron Man, the concept of superheroes has been unstoppable in every corner of this entertainment powerhouse.Superhero commercials, superhero movies, superhero funds, superhero tech projects...the list goes on and on.Olean Insurance Company took advantage of the popularity and made a lot of money from it, but since then it has embarked on a road of indemnity.

But these have nothing to do with Lucy, she is just a small insurance company investigator.If she wanted to return to her old job, she didn't even have a reliable diploma or recommendation letter, so she could only settle for what she had.The best plan now is to make money first, and then find a reliable university to study journalism again and return to the old profession.

Lucy glanced at Jimmy who hadn't stopped rambling since entering the elevator, and confirmed her thoughts once again.

Jimmy, the big boy, is his only friend and colleague in this city. A white guy who graduated from New York State University, a technical worker, with red hair and freckles on his face always make him look immature. In fact, he is more immature than Lucy was two years older.

Ding—the elevator is here.The whole office was flying like cats and dogs, and everyone had expressions of horror on their faces. Looking downstairs, Lisa, the beautiful front desk lady, ran up to the two of them stepping on ten-centimeter high heels.

"Lucy, I'm afraid you're about to get promoted." Lisa gave the good news, and then she said, "Your boss, old Bob, just jumped off here."

Lucy's mouth was open enough to swallow an egg, and Jimmy took ten dollars out of his pocket and put it in Lucy's hand.

Old Bob is the supervisor of Lucy's group of investigators. His job, in layman's terms, is mainly responsible for finding reasons to refuse compensation, or compensation much lower than the client's request.Last month, he recovered nearly 1000 million "unnecessary" losses for the company. In front of him, it seems that the tears of customers and the bloody words on black and white are just passing clouds, and he will always speak from the standpoint of the company.

To be honest, Lucy couldn't figure out why such a loyal old employee would commit suicide.But when old Bob died, the only person who could take over his work was Lucy, his assistant who had been with him for two years.

At night, when the lights of New York came on, Lucy stood by the window where old Bob flew down, looked at the colorful neon lights outside, and sighed.

Jimmy knocked on the door: "I see your lights have been on."

"I'm sorting out the materials reviewed by Bob, you look at this." Lucy said, and she clicked on one of the forms.

"Dave Webb, used to be Dave Coates?" Jimmy glanced back and forth, looking at the picture of a 7-year-old boy on the photo, showing a surprised expression, "What is his relationship with Bob?"

"Bob's ex-wife divorced him five years ago, took his son to marry a man named Weber, and changed his son's surname. During the Great War in New York, Iron Man and the bunch of alien monsters were in Prince Street After fighting for a while, Bob's ex-wife and son were affected. Bob's ex-wife died in the hospital, and his son also needed continuous treatment. His son, so he chose to refuse the insurance." Lucy shrugged, "A week ago, his son died, and I think Bob already knew about it."

"So suicide? It's a tragedy," Jimmy said. "It's not entirely his fault."

"However, he has been taking antidepressant drugs. This incident is probably just the last straw to break him. From now on, all his work will belong to me. Including... this!" Lucy pulled out a piece of paper on the table. Black invitation letter, "The party held by Iron Man, I need a male partner, this Sunday night, do you want to go?"

Jimmy's eyes burst into a blaze, revealing his fanboy potential: "Mr. Stark's party? Gosh this is awesome, only Iron Man himself can beat me on the dance floor! Wait... no, this My parents are coming to see me on Sunday, why! Why at this time! Sorry Lucy, I can't go."

"It's okay, but this time the king of the dance floor will belong to Iron Man." Lucy said jokingly.

Jimmy left dejectedly.Lucy packed up the things on the table and put the invitation letter in her bag. A black card fell on the ground. Lucy picked it up. The front and back were all black, only a string of numbers "555-0199", Everything else is blank.

Probably not something important, Lucy threw the card in the trash.

Just as she went out, she heard a howl in the sky, and a red and yellow figure flew over her head.

iron Man.

In fact, Lucy's travel here has something to do with Iron Man and the Avengers. She woke up in a hospital ward with her head wrapped in gauze. According to the nurse, she was crushed in the parking lot during the New York War. In the gravel of the field, it took a lot of effort to be rescued.

No, obviously it was not rescued, the real Lucy Lang was dead.

After she woke up, she turned on the TV and saw the man with the mustache on the screen saying: "The Stark Corporation Foundation will be responsible for the compensation." Her first reaction was that this is fucking kidding me ?

When she realized that she had crossed into a world where superheroes existed, she thought...

world pill.
