Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 88 Two Daredevils

The next day, thick fog, like a ghost covering the sky, quietly descended on the upper town of Hell's Kitchen and drifted towards the lower town at an extremely slow speed.

The whole world was shrouded in this gray curtain, and everything was swallowed up by the thick fog. The original buildings were reduced to just outlines, and the noise and bustle all quieted down.

Everything is so quiet, so quiet that it makes people a little scared.

The soft gray and white curtains swirled and diffused in the wind, making people suddenly feel a strong sense of strangeness in this familiar city.

On the rooftop, a scarlet figure stood on the edge.

To others, this thick fog was like a curtain covering their eyes, but to Matt, it was the most suitable battlefield for him.

He raised his hand and stroked his shoulder. The aching muscles kept reminding him that his injuries had not yet fully healed. If he acted rashly, he would most likely not come back.

But Matt had no choice, or rather, he had only one choice.

The attack happened again last night, this time targeting the Hell's Kitchen Police Station and Temporary Affairs Office, as well as the Hell's Kitchen Branch of the Disaster Control Bureau.

The Skrulls moved faster than he had imagined, and they didn't even think about taking a break.

The attacker's identity has been exposed in the news. Those Skrulls not only used his face, but also Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones.

This group of street heroes active in Hell's Kitchen have now all become wanted criminals with a bounty on their heads by the government. Except for the fact that their faces were captured by the camera when the attack occurred, they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and no one knew where they were.

As the case deepened, various law enforcement departments started to operate again. All police cars were dispatched and driving through the streets and alleys of Hell's Kitchen. The people living here were also in danger, fearing that they would be affected.

Feeling the breeze brushing against his cheek, Matt knew that he could no longer sit there and wait for death. The enemy's hand had already reached his neck. If he didn't fight back, the whole world would be in chaos.

Although Claire has tried to stop him again and again, Matt knows that this incident will affect more than just him, and he must stop them before the next attack happens.

Fortunately, Superman's hearing is good enough for him to hear the gap between the Skrulls' heartbeats when they transform.

On the other hand, the manufacturing of rocket instruments has also reached the final stage.

Inside the villa area, Suze and Jessica Jones were anxiously sitting on the sofa, and since they were unable to help, they were all driven out of the room by Rocket.

At this moment, the two of them could only wait anxiously for the moment when the door of the room was opened, like a father outside the delivery room.

Sighing again, Jessica Jones lit a cigarette and turned to hand it to Su Ze.

"I don't know how, thank you." Su Ze waved his hand. He didn't smoke in his previous life, but his two roommates were keen on this thing.

Jessica Jones didn't force it, but just turned around and sat back on the sofa. "I always feel something is wrong. It's been a bit too quiet during this period."

"Quiet? Have you ignored those attacks? Don't forget, those guys were using your face to cause trouble outside." Su Ze glanced at Jessica.

He did not forget that when the news was reported yesterday, Jessica Jones could not sit still and wanted to rush out and kill that guy.

But Jessica Jones was not so excited at this time. She just shook her head slightly. "Compared to your previous experience in the New York Sanctuary, this is more like a small fight."

After a pause, Jessica Jones looked up. "I'm really curious, why are they doing this? Is it just to discredit us in Hell's Kitchen?"

Su Ze did not respond. He just stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked at the thick clouds and the dim sky outside the window and sighed slightly.

"They are stirring up fights and creating chaos."

Hearing this, Jessica Jones turned her head and looked at Su Ze, not understanding what the other party meant.

After a moment of silence, Su Ze suddenly asked back.

"Jessica, what do you think is the biggest difficulty or obstacle for the Skrulls to conquer the Earth without bloodshed?"

"The Avengers," Jessica Jones said without even thinking.

Then she suddenly thought of something and continued to add. "Heroes, all the remaining superheroes on Earth." "That's right." Su Ze said softly. "Whether it's Thanos or the Skrulls, for these aliens, the first hurdle they want to overcome is all the superheroes on Earth. This is a hurdle they can't avoid no matter what."

Jessica Jones seemed to have figured something out, and she frowned slightly. "You mean, those Skrulls want to destroy the trust between people and heroes in this way?"

"Trust is a very delicate thing. The Avengers have already had a precedent in this regard. Although I don't know whether the Skrulls are behind the Sokovia Accords, it is undeniable that the Avengers' failure in the face of Thanos has caused people to overdraw some of their trust."

"The Avengers can't be blamed for this. They are the ones on the front line." Jessica Jones subconsciously wanted to explain something.

But Suze just turned around and asked quickly, "Jessica, seriously, you've lost so many friends, don't you blame the Avengers?"

"I" Jessica Jones opened her mouth, then she glanced at her head and continued. "I only blame myself for not participating in the war. If I was there, maybe they wouldn't have failed."

"You see, this is the difference in people's ideas."

Su Ze turned around and said calmly.

"You have extraordinary power, so when you encounter something, you always want to rush forward. Even if you fail, you only blame yourself, but others don't think so. They only see what they have lost."

Jessica Jones didn't speak for a while, she just lowered her head in thought, and after a moment, she raised her head and looked at Su Ze.

"They want to divide us, divide the superheroes of the planet."

"Yes."

Su Ze nodded slightly, then turned to look out the window and continued.

"The Defenders are just the beginning. Next, they will reach out to the Avengers. Don't forget that most of the Avengers today are wanted criminals who did not sign the Sokovia Accords. Although their identities have been restored, people's prejudices still exist."

"When the Skrulls have completely aroused the hostility between people and heroes, it will be time for them to really take action. By that time, the boundary between justice and evil will have long been blurred, and people will not be able to distinguish between camps at all."

Listening to Su Ze's words, Jessica Jones felt a chill for no reason.

"Then what are we waiting for? When the attack happened yesterday, we should have taken the lead in taking them down."

"We have discussed this before." Su Ze pointed to the closed door and said, "Before Rocket finishes making the instrument, any action we take will put the Avengers in danger."

Su Ze's words were not meant to be alarmist. Now all the Avengers are under the surveillance of the Skrulls, and these hidden dangers are always threatening their own safety.

Since they couldn't be sure who among the Avengers was replaced by the Skrulls, they had no way to take the initiative to attack, because as long as one Avenger escaped the control of the Skrulls, it would be enough to stimulate their spirits.

At that time, the Skrulls are likely to attack all the Avengers at the same time. People like Bruce Banner may be able to protect themselves, but people like Captain America and Black Widow will not be so lucky.

If we are not careful, unnecessary sacrifices will occur, and even if the secret invasion of the Skrulls is finally resolved, it will end in a lose-lose situation for both sides.

The development of this world has been bizarre enough. Su Ze dare not imagine what it will become after losing the superheroes.

Just when the two of them fell into silence, the news suddenly appeared on the TV screen which had been muted.

The news headline with white letters on a red background immediately attracted Jessica Jones' attention. She quickly picked up the remote control and turned up the volume.

Then, the host's voice echoed in the living room.

(.The devil from Hell's Kitchen reappeared, and this time the target of the attack was the hospital. It was reported that this largest hospital in Hell's Kitchen housed tens of thousands of injured people, all of whom were injured during the Flash Crisis.)
(However, following the camera, although the scene was foggy, we could still vaguely see two men in black fighting on the rooftop.)
(From the reports of the reporters at the front, it can be seen that the two sides in the battle are the demons from Hell's Kitchen who attacked Mr. Fisk before, but we don't know who among them is the real person.)
(This may be similar to the previous Hell's Kitchen copycat crime, but no one can be sure of the details of the incident at this time.)

"It's Matt, he's not dead!" Jessica Jones stood up suddenly, looked directly at the TV screen, a look of surprise flashed across her face.

Su Ze also walked over quickly, but unlike Jessica Jones, the moment he saw the scene on the screen, he was still wondering whether this was another conspiracy of the Skrulls.

What if those two Daredevil were fake? What if the Skrulls' purpose was to lure me out?

After all, no one can guarantee that Daredevil is still alive, right?
