Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

Peter Parker felt that he was a little tired recently.

As Spider-Man, a good neighbor in New York, a young Superhero who is gradually gaining fame, what worries him every day is not how to deal with villains, but how to be a qualified new social animal.

J. Jonah Jameson, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle, is if not the most hated boss in the world, he is at least the second most hated boss.He doesn't care at all how much workload his employees can take on, he just keeps pushing people to death - and at the same time finds such and other reasons to deduct wages.If there's one good thing that happened to Peter lately, it's that Jameson finally let him go, after months of being an informal employee.

Sometimes Peter really wonders how other superheroes support their families.

Think of the Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, etc. Needless to say, those who were born in Rome, Hulk also made a lot of money as a scientist, Black Widow and Hawkeye have a monthly salary of 70 knives from S.H.I.E.L.D. Captain America is supported by the government, and there may be [-] years of veteran subsidies and action subsidies. The only people who are poorer than him may be Wanda and Quicksilver. However, they rely on mutants and are not short of money.

He doesn't know the identities of people outside the alliance, but they are certainly not too poor.Batman's weapons have long been ripped apart. Everyone privately thinks that he must have an ulterior PY deal with some richest man. Wonder Woman should be as rich as Thor. Superman's uniform looks very expensive. And as a giant who once squeezed diamonds with his bare hands in variety shows, he will never go bankrupt... The Flash looks a bit poor, by the way, and Green Lantern.A certain green person leaked in an interview before, saying that he often went to The Flash’s house to eat, drink, and live. In addition, he was also exposed by other Chaoying colleagues to borrow money.

At least none of them need to squat at home and sew battle suits with spider silk.

Sad.

"Parker!"

A voice echoed in the corridor.

Peter looked up and saw who it was if it wasn't his hapless boss.He feebly agreed twice, quickly put down the half-drinked coffee, packed up the collar of his shirt, and got into Xiangyang's office.

The editor-in-chief known as JJJ leaned on his glasses and glanced at him from above the lens, from the messy hair to the old shoes, then sighed and said: "You have to get yourself a suit that fits you, boy .”

For some reason, Peter heard a thousand twists and turns of disgust from this sentence.He looked at the boss's expensive suit, meticulously combed hair, shiny white teeth and delicate beard, and thought about the pitiful salary slips he usually received, feeling unprecedented despair. "sorry?"

"You'd better hurry up." JJJ adjusted his glasses again, "Jack is sick, he will definitely not be able to attend the event tomorrow, I need you to put down everything at hand and rush to the scene to fill his spot. You can take pictures, and you still have enough energy Yes, but poorly dressed. I can't just send you to Washington."

"Washington?" Peter asked automatically, and then, in a flash, "Oh!"

He remembered.

A week ago Superman made a statement that shocked the world.

At that time, he had just participated in an anti-piracy operation in Somalia. The well-equipped ship was like paper in front of the Man of Steel, and it would be broken without much force.After all the hostages were rescued, Superman announced the establishment of a new alliance at the pier in front of representatives of the various countries in the operation.

It's not that no one has heard of it in the past - at least Tony has been talking about the new alliance at the Avengers' headquarters for more than a month, degrading each other from fashion to style - it's just that no one thought Superman would be so shameless that he picked such an occasion to announce the time of the press conference.They must have pissed off the gods of the world.Before the live broadcast was cut, Peter swore he saw the face of a naval officer turn black as coal.

He fell into memories here, where JJJ had already begun to rummage through, and added while rummaging, "An informant heard about the gathering of heroes from the military before, saying that a few superhumans took the lead to form a new alliance. Two weeks Wonder Woman came forward to reach an agreement with the federal government before, and granted them a piece of vacant land in the capital to be the headquarters. This land has only been approved for two weeks, and now even the building has been built...Here, take it. ’ He pointed to a golden envelope.

The envelope is printed with two beautifully designed capital letters "JL", and underneath are small icons designed by each hero himself or recognized by the society.Peter recognized the "S" symbol on Superman's chest representing hope, the bat symbol that was exactly the same shape as Gotham's bat light, the double "W" symbol representing Wonder Woman, a lightning symbol that obviously represented the Flash, and the green green light Hero symbol.He guessed that the blue one is Neptune, the red "X" on the green background may be the Martian, and the rest are not so eye-catching.Especially the golden symbol printed in the lower right corner. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know which hero's symbol had wings.Maybe one of the flying mutants?

"...Meet Thompson at the airport at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, bring the invitation letter, and dress decently." JJJ continued.Peter nodded indiscriminately, still focusing on the overly informative letter.Before he left the office, JJJ stopped him again as if remembering something.

"By the way, Parker, the few photos I printed before sold well on the front page, but the angle could be a little more tricky. I don't like the concave superman offensive that the white boy uses to cater to young people, but we can't Give up all the young people to the daily planet bastards. If Superman can be photographed like this, then Spider-Man must be able to."

Concave...concave shape? !

Peter's heart was sharp, and he wished to show the boss the appearance of Spider-Man on the spot.

But, how should I put it, he is just a helpless and pitiful social animal, and the only reaction he can do is to nod weakly to the boss.

Ten minutes later, Peter stepped on the subway home; two hours later, he began to sew his battle suit while thinking about what shape he should make to be comparable to the buttocks of the world; five hours later, he began to prepare for the next day Preparations for the event, including not limited to making a blushing phone call to the league's financial boss to advance funds, and agreeing to about thirty strange requests by the way ("I won't touch Superman's chest! Or Batman's chest." Boobs! Or Aquaman’s boobs! No! Butts too!"); 10 hours later, he was on a plane to Washington with his colleague Thompson.

Washington DC, special area.

In the open space on the edge of the city, a solemn and majestic building stands here.The whole body of the building is white, and it looks semicircular from the front. The dark blue glass windows are divided into fifteen small grids by white stone pillars one after another. Roughly equivalent to the flanks of the arch.In front of the building is a square with fountains and pools in the middle.

This is the Hall of Justice, the headquarters of the brand-new Justice League, and the place where the eyes of the whole world are watching.

Peter got out of the taxi and walked inside along the red carpet with Thompson.Celebrities from the press had already gathered here, and no less than twenty photographers gathered around the side of the red carpet. It took him about 2 minutes to realize what they were shooting.Then he squeezed into the crowd too.

It was a pitch-black Batmobile.

No one believes that Batman will actually put his Batmobile on display, and no one believes that this car uses any of the defense systems or offensive components that come with the Batmobile. It may not even have the same texture as the wheels, but this The bat shape of the vehicle alone is enough for some small newspapers to write headlines for three or four days.no way!Panting, Peter pressed the shutter, it's absolutely no way!Iron Man, who was watching the live broadcast, might be calling Wayne, complaining about whether he has too much money in his pocket, and wants to make this scale model to make Batman show off.

After visiting the Batmobile, Peter followed the crowd into the hall.

The first thing that catches the eye is the giant sculpture in the middle, with Superman standing in the middle with his arms crossed, Batman and Wonder Woman separated on both sides, and other heroes are lined up along the left and right.These sculptures don't know what materials are used, they are shining in the sunlight penetrating through the ceiling, overlooking every visitor.Peter's eyes swept over the familiar and unfamiliar heroes, and finally settled on the No.3 hero on the left.

Besides Wonder Woman, this is the only female hero.

The hero is sculpted in a defensive stance, and in order to create symmetry with Aquaman, who is standing on the right, holding a trident, she holds a golden spear in her left hand, slightly open, extending to the Batman sculpture chest.She was wearing a crown, with two huge wings on her back, her face was not carefully carved, and it seemed to be covered in a hazy mist from a distance.

"It's Gotham's new hero," Thompson pointed out. "What do they call her, Seraphim? It's said that she's holding the Spear of Destiny. People in Gotham don't like this name very much. They probably think the media The name given is too big and has no Gotham characteristics. But then again, who said that the first sighted place is the city to which the hero belongs?"

His remarks were quickly confirmed by other media people.

Not only the two of them were looking at the heroine, most people who walked in would stop under the statue.Compared with the famous hero who has been written for several rounds or even tens of hundreds of rounds, because her face is too new, and the place and method of appearance are too topical.It just turned out to be out of nowhere.

Seraphim?

the Most High?

"She has only one pair of wings," said Peter, not convinced. "I don't see where the other two pairs are."

Thompson shrugged, obviously thinking that the name given by the media was more of a symbolic meaning.But hey, maybe she can conjure up any pair of wings?

They snapped a few photos in front of the sculpture before continuing along the red carpet towards the venue.What followed was a long row of transparent showcases, the material of which was provided by Superman, and there were some gadgets of the superhero himself or collected from super criminals.A display case at the end of the hallway held models of previous generations of uniforms for several heroes, prompting gasps and screams.

These things may be harmless to superheroes, after all, they will not reveal any important secrets to the public, but for the general public, these things are enticing enough.Peter had a strong premonition that this place would soon replace Disneyland and Universal Park as a sanctuary for young people.

The atmosphere in the room became more and more enthusiastic, and finally reached a climax after walking to the venue and settling down.

The founder and several heroes who joined later came to the stage one after another and sat down in the order of the sculptures outside.Some of them are not known for walking on land, but Peter guesses this behavior is to foster a sense of order and intimacy.Think about it, if a large number of people fall from the sky, it probably won't help people.

Superman was the only one who didn't sit down. He folded his hands in front of his chest in the standard Superman posture, with a confident smile on his face, and started his speech.Peter was horrified to see that both men and women in the audience looked elated, and even Thompson, who had been tortured by coffee and rushing for three days, looked radiant at Superman.He faked a cough in embarrassment.

"New here?" A female voice whispered from the side.Peter turned his head and saw a familiar face from the press.Louise Lane, an employee of the "Daily Planet", this big reporter once wrote the famous "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman" and won the Pulitzer Prize for it, but she is also more famous as Superman Girlfriend, or ex-girlfriend.Facing Peter's gaze, she blinked and teased, "It's not every day we see Big Blue. You have to forgive some people for their faux pas. Daily Bugle? New reporter?"

"More like a photographer," said Peter dully. The "Clarion Daily" is not a particularly big newspaper, and it is difficult to compare photographers and names. The Daily Planet has gotten better and better over the years, and it's no secret that it has a close relationship with Superman.

Thinking of this, Peter inevitably felt a little sad. J. Jonah Jameson is simply his lifelong enemy. He obviously got the most private photos of Spider-Man, and even sent out the most black Spider-Man drafts.Of course, if he knew that Superman, AKA Clark Kent, who is speaking on the stage, is a member of the Daily Planet, he would probably feel even more miserable-everyone is a Superman, and they all work for the newspaper Yes, why not have a boss who can blow like Perry White?

Louise didn't know that the photographer in front of her was doubting her life.

In fact, she has been following Peter Parker for a long time, or rather, she has been following the Hero newspaper for a long time.As an employee of the Daily Planet and a close friend of Superman, she had a keen sense of the anomalies in the headlines of the Daily Bugle.The photos of Spider-Man they took out were always from too weird angles and too close to capture from a distance, but more like a direct shot from an acquaintance from a close angle.After thinking about it, she tentatively asked, "What do you think of superheroes?"

"I support superheroes." Peter shrugged.Although he didn't know why this famous reporter would take the initiative to talk to him, it did not hinder his support for the group's position, "The establishment of the Justice League is a good thing for the whole world, and criminals are now more and more active." The more active, some heroes are deadlocked due to lack of cooperation, and one more alliance is one more guarantee."

"But the Justice League has more metahumans, and they're more dangerous than the Avengers," Louise said objectively.Because of Peter's honesty with her, she also told him her point of view, "We already have enough superheroes, most of the bustling cities have their own urban heroes, and some international cities even have several. Heroes and a whole group of heroes, and even then, the damage done by the villains continues to mount year after year."

"It's not the superhero's fault," Peter murmured.

"You're right." Louise gave him a sharp look, thinking of her suspicion of his identity, she said a few more words, "I always wonder what our society will become if this continues. Look. In recent years, criminals have more and more super powers and more dangerous..."

"It's pointless to discuss these things now, ma'am—" Peter couldn't help but said, his eyes have been wandering between Superman and Louise, he knew that in theory, all the remarks he said in the audience would be included by the super hearing ears, but the expression of Krypton's son did not change at all, and the other heroes on the stage who might have heard it did not show any other expressions-except for one person.

The heroine Seraphim eyed them darkly.

From this angle, Peter could even see the pattern on her crown clearly, but the face was still a blur.He concentrated and tried to look more carefully. After a few seconds, he retracted his gaze, rubbed his hands indiscriminately, and pressed down the erected hairs on the back of his hands.

Spider sense is sounding the alarm.

Danger......?

From Spear of Destiny?

But beneath that danger, there's something more familiar, more vague, as if they've met in the past, maybe stopped at some convenience store for a chat, maybe met at an event, maybe What social pictures have you stared at for a long time...

With doubts, Peter barely heard the speech made by Superman.

Even when the reporters applauded, he just followed the crowd and clapped his palms, subconsciously taking pictures, even forgetting the Iron Man Thirty demands that he was still complaining about when he came.

Where is it?Where have you seen this new hero?

The heroine who was called a seraph by the media gave him half a smile, and the media people looked away like sharks smelling blood.No one wondered why they could make out expressions on blurred faces, or why there was a blurry face here.Peter vaguely felt that the spider in his heart was being touched by something bigger, which almost made him restless.

Batman casts a disapproving glance sideways.

Seraphim looked away.

But Superman still turned a deaf ear to these lawsuits. He finally finished his speech, and immediately put his hands on both sides of the podium, and said firmly and without looking back——

"We are honored to gather here to announce that the Justice League is officially launched today."
