Batman's Owl Godfather

Natasha formally introduces Bruce to the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D.

From her known perspective, of course.

"S.H.I.E.L.D., whose full name is the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, is a special force of the International Security Council designed to deal with various bizarre incidents."

Natasha said, "We maintain peace on the surface of the world, and every agent is directly subordinate to the current director, who we generally call Official No. 33.

"As for his specific name, you will know it if you have the opportunity in the future."

The word Natasha used here was 'concrete', not real.

Because according to regulations, the identity of the director of SHIELD is the top secret among top secrets.

But in fact, this top-secret information had long been dismissed by Katum as worthless intelligence.

Official No. 33 is Nick Fury.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is one of the most mysterious agencies in the world, with the most important missions."

Natasha had a proud smile on her face, "Now, Bruce, you are one of us!"

For some reason, the focus of Bruce's thinking at this time was not Natasha's introduction to SHIELD.

Instead, I thought of something unrelated.

So-and-so is the safest place in the world. The last time Bruce heard this sentence was from Hagrid's words, "Hogwarts is the safest place in the world."

He has personally experienced the result three times,

Now Natasha told him that SHIELD was one of the most mysterious agencies in the world.

As soon as this kind of Flag came out, Bruce thought, maybe it won't be long before everyone in SHIELD becomes aware of it.

Moreover, there is something wrong with SHIELD at its roots. The more important its mission is, the more serious the consequences will be.

"Logically speaking, I should be on SHIELD's side and help them defeat Hydra."

Bruce thought to himself, "It's a pity that I'm not sure yet whether SHIELD represents justice and light."

Thinking of this, he remained calm and continued to play the role of a second-year junior high school boy who had just learned about another side of the world.

Second grade, passionate, but with a hint of childish caution.

"Ms. Natalie."

Bruce considered his words, "From what you said, SHIELD should be an extremely covert secret service agency, right?"

"You can indeed think so." Natasha said with a smile.

"Then I have a question."

Bruce thought for a while and said, "In an organization like this, when you select new recruits, shouldn't you do some tests to see my ability or character?

"You just told me directly that I could join in. This really makes me uneasy about you."

After hearing this, Natasha was still smiling on the surface, but she couldn't help but curse a few times in her heart.

You brat, are you pretending to be dead in front of me?

"The question I just gave you is a test." Natasha said calmly, "You have solved the code and you have proven your ability."

At least in terms of logical reasoning, Bruce has more than proven himself.

He already has the potential to become an agent.

"Huh? It's that simple..."

After Bruce finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and immediately changed his words, "I see, I can probably understand SHIELD's good intentions!"

What did you understand?

Natasha herself didn't know what the good intentions of SHIELD were, and she certainly didn't know where Bruce was going astray.

But she didn't reveal it, but continued on.

"It's good that you know."

She said, “Next, instructors will train you to master various agent skills, which will be done secretly.

"But on the surface, you are still a student at Zhongcheng Middle School."

"Wait a moment!"

Bruce frowned and interrupted, "Is this really okay? You don't need to conduct any background check or personality test on me?"

"unnecessary."

Natasha smiled, "Someone has already done this for us. For specific details, you can ask your adoptive parents."

She blinked at Bruce, as if she had just revealed some incredible information.

"The Halls are also S.H.I.E.L.D. agents?" Bruce muttered in response, "It seems they had ulterior motives for adopting me."

"Don't blame them." Natasha said for the Halls. "They are also obeying the orders of their superiors."

"I know."

Bruce felt very disappointed. He said dejectedly, "But I just feel that I finally got a family, but lost it so quickly."

"Poor kid."

Natasha looked at Bruce with pity, "Do you want a hug?"

"this……"

Bruce glanced at Natasha's chest and sighed, "Forget it, just hug her. I'll suffer a bit."

So, Natasha held him in her arms and patted his back gently.

"Be strong, kid, SHIELD will be your home from now on."

…

When Bruce walked out of the campus, Mr. Hall had parked his car and was waiting outside the campus.

The two looked at each other and completed the exchange of information without saying anything.

all the best.

After Bruce got in the car, Wanda and Pietro were already sitting in the back seat, looking very excited.

"I passed that agent by a full circle!"

Pietro said, "The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are not very good, even a kid like me can't run away!"

Both he and Wanda were tested accordingly.

Unlike Bruce, Pietro was tested in terms of physical fitness. He raced on a track with an agent, and Pietro was far ahead.

"They said that with my talent, if I follow the athlete's path, I can easily break the world record!"

In response to Pietro's chatter, Bruce smiled and said, "That's great, congratulations."

He thought to himself that Pietro still hadn't seen much of the world.

After he activates his superpower and reaches a speed exceeding the speed of sound, he will no longer take world records seriously.

That's something only a locomotive cares about.

Later, Bruce also learned what test Wanda underwent.

Even more mysterious than Bruce and Pietro's.

"They put a box in front of me."

Wanda said, "You want me to tell you what's in there."

"It seems you are right." Bruce said smoothly.

"Actually, I didn't see anything." Wanda looked straight in front of her eyes, wandering around.

"I just said something casually, and then I got it right. Maybe compared to your logic and physical ability, the reason I was chosen was luck."

Super high school level luck, Wanda Maximoff.

Bruce thought in his heart that it might not be luck, but Wanda's inspiration about magic.

The most common way inspiration manifests itself is through occasional whims.

These are acceptable ranges.

"It's impossible to change reality."

Bruce thought to himself, "Then Wanda's ability is too incredible. She hasn't activated her superpower yet."

Now Wanda is just Wanda, not Scarlet Witch. At this time, Mr. Hall, who was driving, finally reminded: "Okay, stop discussing SHIELD matters outside. From now on, you are a team, so you must remember your mission."

"Of course I remember!"

Pietro said, "Maintain the superficial peace of the world!"

Then Bruce added: "And repaying the favor to Hydra."

"Just remember."

Mr. Hall was satisfied with the children's answers.

He didn't say much, and just continued driving, returning to his apartment in Queens, a place he could no longer call home.

As the children were selected by SHIELD, the peaceful life before was gone forever.

…

Kama Taj.

Katum flew out of the room and saw the young mage hanging upside down on the training ground again.

This posture of being hung upside down reminded the owl of some unbearable past events.

"How long until he is put down?"

Katum asked the mage guarding beside him.

I don't know what happened to this group of Kama Taj's apprentices. Overnight, they all learned the magic of communicating with animals.

Now almost everyone can communicate with Katum, and for a moment, Owl actually felt a little shy.

I haven't talked to so many people in a long time.

"Master Gu Yi said that he would be hanged for a month."

The guarding mage said, "This kid wanted to die. He broke into Master Gu Yi's practice room and wanted to graffiti on the top of Master Gu Yi's head while she was in meditation!"

"That's really seeking death."

The owl nodded and kindly reminded, "Just hang him upside down. Don't give him too much water, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable if he needs to urinate.

"I think Master Gu Yi just asked him to reflect, and didn't want him to feel a deeper lesson like this."

This reminder made the guarding mage's eyes light up.

From their previous internal discussions among their apprentices, they already firmly believed that every word Master Owl said had profound meaning.

Now that the master has said this again, of course I have to think about it carefully.

"I understand, Master Owl!"

"Just understand."

After Katum finished speaking, he no longer cared about the young mage who was hanging upside down.

I don’t know how Gu Yi taught his students to cultivate such a brave being.

The owl flew towards the library. Suddenly, a burly figure blocked his way.

He was an Asian man with a tall build and a sinewy face. He looked very difficult to mess with.

Unfortunately, someone suddenly shaved his head into a bald head, and some unknown patterns were painted on it with red paint, like a map.

This man is Kama Taj's librarian, Benedict Wang.

"Good afternoon, Wang." Katum greeted warmly.

This look makes one really not think that the graffiti on the man's head was painted by this damn owl.

"Owl…Master."

The corners of Wang's mouth twitched a few times, and he reluctantly shouted these words.

In fact, Katum didn't know why all the students suddenly started calling him master.

There are even some incomprehensible behaviors.

For example, I knocked on Katum's door at three o'clock in the middle of the night and wanted to learn Druidry skills from him.

Later, this man was beaten violently by Katum and thrown out of Karma Taj.

What are these students going crazy about? Katum doesn't bother to understand. He just wants to do what he should do seriously, such as emptying Kama Taj's book collection.

Maybe it's because he's been a little too bold recently, and now the librarian finally came to the door.

"I just counted the books in the library."

Wang said in a cold tone, "Many books are missing. There is no borrowing record. They just disappeared."

"Ah? Is there such a thing?"

Owl was surprised and said, "It is obvious that there is a thief in Kamar-Taj! Have you told Master Ancient One? Do you want me to help you find it?"

"You don't need to bother Master Ancient One with such a small matter."

Wang said coldly, "And I seem to have found out who the thief is."

"That's good!"

Katum breathed a sigh of relief, "You must not let the thief go. Although only a few books are missing now, the whole library may be emptied out over time!"

Then, he thought about it for Wang and said, "Is it possible that it is the traitor you mentioned before, what is his name... Kaecilius?"

"It has nothing to do with him."

Wang said, "He is only interested in the Book of Cagliostro, and he has already succeeded."

The Book of Cagliostro is a magic book that studies time.

The dimensional demon god related to it is called Dormammu.

"Then I can't guess who it is. I am a kind-hearted owl and I don't want to assume others with malice."

Katum said, "King, I am going to enter the library now. Can you move aside a little?

"To be honest, you really should lose some weight. You just stood at the door and blocked the door completely."

The king's eyes stayed on the owl for a long time. Finally, he moved aside and made enough space for the owl to pass through.

"Thank you."

Katum flapped his wings and flew across the king's chest.

Just then, the king suddenly said--

"I just want to remind you."

He said, "It's okay to borrow these books for a short time, just return them later, but the acquisition of knowledge should be gradual. The books that have disappeared now have already involved uncontrollable areas."

Katum suddenly stopped.

"What do you mean?"

"Those books record some taboo rituals. "

The king had something to say, and warned Katum, "Kamar-Taj does not prohibit the learning of knowledge, but it will prohibit some behaviors.

"Those rituals have already involved the demons of the multiverse. Except for the Supreme Lord, no one else can afford the cost of summoning them!"

After saying that, he seemed to be worried that Katum would not take it seriously, and then he began to call out the names of those demons like calling out the names of dishes.

"The demons involved in those rituals, such as Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, the Nightmare, the Lord of Dreams, Shumagras, the Eye of Chaos, and Setorak, the Lord of Crimson...

"Any one of these coming to Earth will cause an irreversible disaster.

"I hope that the people who stole those books will know what they are doing when trying the rituals in the books, so as not to end up in tragedy and have no end."

The king can be said to be earnestly persuading. According to his observations during this period of time, Katum's character is really the kind of person who likes to watch the fun and not mind the trouble.

It is not impossible for such a guy to really summon the Dimension Lord to come to Earth.

"Thank you for your reminder."

Katum said with a smile, "I think that person should have his own considerations."

If the summoning ceremony is really started, it will not be the earth that will suffer.

It will be those dimensional demons who are taken advantage of.
