American Comics Agency: Opening Pets Tom and Jerry

Defender Alliance Base

The members of the first generation of the Defenders Alliance sat together. They were not wearing armor, but just ordinary clothes.

"Luke, tell me, what is this meeting for?" Matt asked.

"First of all, I need to tell you that there is an organization above our Defenders Alliance, and it is this organization that is funding our Defenders Alliance from behind."

"What organization?" Daniel asked.

"I think some of you should be familiar with this organization. It's called S.H.I.E.L.D."

Upon hearing this name, the expressions of the members except Jessica changed.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.? If that's the case, I'm sorry, Luke, but I may not be able to join the Defenders." After saying that, Matt was about to get up and leave, and the others also stood up and prepared to leave.

Jessica was left looking at them in bewilderment, and she subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with SHIELD? Why do you all seem to dislike them?"

After listening to this, Matt paused and then introduced Jessica to the organization S.H.I.E.L.D. In his impression, S.H.I.E.L.D. is a selfish organization that will take action if it is beneficial to them. They will not take action if it is not beneficial to them unless it endangers the safety of the earth.

Of course, this is not the case, but there is nothing we can do about it. As long as we are human, we will have subjective will and cannot see the whole picture.

"Luke, is this SHIELD really like this?"

Luke couldn't hold it anymore, but his mind was still working fast, and he shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone stopped in unison and looked back at Luke in confusion.

"That's not how SHIELD works. Let me explain it to you somewhere else." Luke said with a sigh.

Then everyone came to the basement, where there was nothing but a table and a few chairs. Then Luke turned on a device that could block all electronic devices to ensure that their conversation would not be monitored or eavesdropped.

After everyone was seated, Luke started talking about the World War II period.

"Wait, we are talking about S.H.I.E.L.D. now, why did you bring up World War II?" Eric asked in confusion.

"Listen to me, this matter really started during World War II."

Luke then talked about the contribution of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s predecessor in World War II, as well as their love-hate relationship with Hydra, and finally explained the consequences of the Paperclip Project.

"You mean to say that Hydra has always existed inside SHIELD, and everything the SHIELD agents do is Hydra trying to discredit SHIELD. Is that what you mean? Do you think we will believe it?"

Indeed, no one would believe this.

"How should I explain this to you? Let me give you an example. For example, the director of SHIELD issues a mission to his subordinates, and the agents who receive the mission happen to be from Hydra. In order to discredit SHIELD, they will complete the mission. The only difference is the means, but the result is the same. They completed the mission."

"For example, this mission is to rescue people. Normal agents would definitely rescue the hostages without alerting others if possible. But Hydra is different. They directly attack head-on, kill all the enemies, and then rescue the hostages. They don't care even if the hostages die. This is the difference between Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. Do you understand what I mean?"

Luke probably didn't know how to explain it because he was not good at speaking, so he could only explain it to them using analogies.

But they still understood it. To put it simply, what they saw SHIELD doing were actually illusions created by Hydra, not the real SHIELD.

"Now that you've said that, we can't possibly leave. But why did SHIELD ask you to found the Defenders?"

"What to do? Just wait for SHIELD to blow the horn of counterattack and counterattack Hydra together. But before that, we have nothing to do with SHIELD. SHIELD is SHIELD, and the Defenders are the Defenders. Don't reveal the relationship between us."

"Don't worry, we are not fools, but what should we do now?" Eric asked.

"Now there is a very tricky thing, which is to help Jessica escape from the control of the Purple Man." Luke looked at Jessica and said.

"Purple Man? Who is he?"

"Jessica, tell me his information. Don't be afraid, speak out bravely, otherwise you will never escape his shadow in your life." Luke encouraged.

Jessica, whose face was filled with fear and whose body could not stop trembling, closed her eyes and took deep breaths. She finally calmed down and spoke.

"The Purple Man's real name is Zebdiah Kilgrave. He was a spy from the former Yugoslavia. During an operation, he was accidentally swallowed by a large amount of nerve gas. However, he did not die from it. Instead, he gained special abilities."

"He can release a special pheromone. When the target's skin absorbs the pheromone, the Purple Man can control them through words, which is similar to the effect of hypnosis. However, this control is not long-term. It can only take effect when the Purple Man is nearby. If the Purple Man is not around, the controlled person will gradually regain self-awareness. Of course, those with strong willpower can also be immune to his control. He also has the ability to heal himself, and ordinary physical attacks can be healed at an extremely fast speed. This is the ability of the Purple Man that I know."

After hearing this, everyone frowned, especially Matt, who felt it was very tricky to hear about the Purple Man's abilities.

"Actually, his ability is easy to break. Can't we just use a long-range sniper attack?" Eric said nonchalantly. It seemed that after he stopped killing vampires, his personality changed a lot and became a little funny.

"You're right. It's actually very easy to solve. All we need is a long-range sniper. But how do we make him appear?"

"Leave it to me. He has always wanted to get me completely. As long as I appear in front of the public, he will come to me." Jessica said lightly, but if you look closely, you can still see the fear in her eyes, and it is not difficult to see the difficulties she has suffered.

"Okay, then Eric, I'll leave the sniping to you. After all, Matt doesn't kill people."

"Leave it to me." Eric said indifferently.

Then everyone went back upstairs. Jessica found her friend and posted her message on the Internet. She believed that it would not be long before the Purple Man would come knocking on her door.
