Facing Jeanne, who was standing there looking very kind, Skye and the others couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
They only knew of and had seen this beautiful woman beside Shen He, who seemed not of this world, but they were completely unfamiliar with her.
Not only them, but even Steve, Coulson, and the others weren't very familiar with her. They only knew that she was a core member of Chaldea's true power, brought over by Shen He from other worlds, possessing great strength, and closely related to Shen He, whom they respectfully called "Master."
"Wel, welcome." Skye, who was relatively outgoing, was the first to speak, "Don't you have a uniform?"
"I don't need a uniform." Jeanne shook her head, declaring with a cold expression, "I won't be participating in your actions. My main task is to ensure your safety, prevent you from accidentally harming civilians, and to record your scores."
"So, it's a supervisor..."
Skye muttered a complaint under her breath. She had been severely criticized by Coulson the last time a listening session was exposed.
Such a sound naturally couldn't be hidden from Jeanne's ears. She felt a little dispirited inside. It seemed she was disliked.
However, even so, she had to do what the Master instructed. With this thought, Jeanne perked up again. It was almost the same as what she had to do when she was a Ruler before. She was a very competent judge and would definitely satisfy her Master.
On the other side, Shen He, who was now free and teaching Violet to read, seemed to sense something and looked up.
I wonder if Jeanne is getting along well with the others?
Shen He thought to himself. The main reason he sent Jeanne out was to let the Servant have her own social circle. If she always stayed by his side and didn't interact with the outside world, he felt it would be too narrow. After all, this was the world they would be living in for a long time, and it was good to get to know more people.
However, Jeanne quickly encountered her first problem.
That was the written report of the event details Coulson handed her.
Although she had mastered the English language for dialogue due to being summoned, Jeanne was a bit baffled when she looked at the scribbles on the tablet.
Why not write in Chinese? She already recognizes more than two hundred characters!
The little Jeanne in Jeanne's heart was jumping up and down, complaining, but she didn't dare show it on her face. If they found out she couldn't even read, she would definitely lose her Master's face along with her own.
"This is clearly arson," Natasha said, pinpointing the key point after a glance at the report. "Miss Jeanne, you should be able to directly locate the perpetrator, right?"
"Is that true?"
Skye and Wanda looked at Jeanne in surprise.
"The Lord will guide my path, but I refuse to help," Jeanne still wore a blank expression, her little face showing no sign of compromise. "I've already said, the mission is mainly for you to complete yourselves."
"But in that case, innocent people might be sacrificed!" Skye couldn't help but speak up. "Does it not matter?"
"Huh, is that so?"
Jeanne blinked, as if she was completely unaware of this, or rather, because she couldn't understand the words, she didn't even know the details of the whole incident.
"If you really can't handle it, I could help, but I'll have to deduct points, you know."
It should be fine, right? Jeanne thought to herself. Just helping find someone, not interfering in the fight… yeah, it should be fine.
"You should have read all the information first," Coulson suddenly interjected at this moment. "The suspect's appearance is registered with S.H.I.E.L.D. We've already sealed off an area of activity. Within this area, we can rush to any fire in the shortest amount of time."
"Then let's set off immediately. It's almost night," Steve clapped his hands. "Check your equipment, review the rules and prohibitions in your minds. Remember, obey orders."
Jeanne finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the tablet.
Trying to act like I can read is too hard. Maybe it would have been better to explain it from the start, but I'm in too deep now.
Fortunately, no one noticed Jeanne's change in expression just now. Even Wanda was excited about her first mission.
Those twins were, after all, just sixteen or seventeen-year-old kids.
Because the Virtual Reality Company was in the suburbs, night had completely fallen by the time they arrived in Manhattan, the heart of New York City. The entire city was immersed in the bustling neon lights.
"Quake," Steve, acting as Captain, had already started using the codename, "as you practiced in training, use your abilities to jump to the rooftops. The police channel says there are armed robbers fleeing on 13th Street."
"This is so cool."
Skye hadn't expected the first case after arriving in Manhattan to be armed robbers.
She pressed the ability-assist control switch on her palm, sending a wave of tremors towards the ground. Using the recoil, she flew upwards and landed steadily on a rooftop.
"Do you see them?"
"Yes, heading towards 14th Street," Skye's voice came from the earpiece.
"How many vehicles are the robbers using?" Steve asked.
"A car and a truck… wait, they're shooting back. Civilians and cops are hit. I'm going in."
"Wait a second!"
Before Steve could finish speaking, Skye slammed her hands down, her body rocketing skyward from the recoil of the quake.
"Follow orders! Quake." Steve swung a leg over his motorcycle. "Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, get up there with them."
Skye hadn't been trained to dodge bullets, nor could she control her abilities well. Flying in like that was just asking for trouble.
Jeanne had already pulled up her hood. As she leaped into the air, she pulled out her notebook and discreetly drew a small circle under Skye's entry.
Those on the ground were, after all, a step slower than those in the sky.
Skye had already spotted the robbers below and, without a second thought, dove right in.
"What the hell is that!?"
The robber driving the car saw Skye in a black bodysuit in the sky in the rearview mirror and instinctively swerved to avoid her.
Unable to make a sharp turn, Skye crashed directly into an innocent medium-sized truck. The shockwaves released by her hands in her panic forcibly pushed the entire truck over, pinning down two other cars. This triggered a series of car accidents, even blocking the police cars' pursuit route.
"Hahaha!"
The robber's unrestrained laughter was particularly obvious amidst the screams filling the street.
Jeanne drew another circle in her little notebook, then jumped down as well. The armor had already appeared on her body hidden under the robe. After pulling the fallen Skye up, she began to help the injured pedestrians without a word.
Her small hands, adorned with fingernails, easily tore apart the vehicles, pulling out the injured. Then, green light shone between her hands as she provided treatment. This strange scene attracted many people's attention, and they took out their phones to record videos.
"Is there anything I can help with?"
Skye knew she'd messed up, but Jeanne wasn't paying her any attention.
Suddenly, a loud crash erupted ahead. Steve, using his shield, had stopped the fleeing robbers' vehicle with a direct, head-on impact. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who had arrived on the scene, quickly disarmed the robbers.
"It's Captain America!"
The surrounding pedestrians had recognized Steve, holding his shield and wearing his familiar uniform.
Realizing the danger was over, excited people rushed forward, leaving Wanda and Pietro somewhat bewildered.
"Everyone!" Steve raised his voice slightly, shouldering his shield and mounting his motorcycle. "Please help the injured. We need to get to the next location. Quake, follow me!"
Skye gritted her teeth, glanced at Jeanne, who had already finished treating the seriously wounded, and pushed her hands down, taking off into the air right in front of everyone.
Within just a few minutes, videos of the incident had been uploaded online.
However, before people could start buzzing with discussion, an announcement from the Virtual Reality Company was being frantically shared.
"The Virtual Reality Company, having aided Captain America, Steve Rogers, in his recovery, supports his decision to use his strength to protect those who need protecting. The company fully supports this and has recruited several talented young people to be Captain America's teammates. They are Quake, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver. Starting tonight, Captain America will lead them in forming a volunteer vigilante group called the 'Guardians' to assist the police in fighting crime."
Along with the announcement, photos of them in uniform were released.
There was even a brief introduction of their special abilities below.
Immediately, with the influence of Captain America's massive fan base, almost half the internet was covered with this information, with people discussing it on various platforms.
"This is so cool! Superheroes from the comics!"
"Captain America is the best! I knew he would always protect us!"
"Can they come to India and deal with that green monster?"
"Is it just me, or did Quake cause that pile-up? I'd like to know about the medical bills for the injured and how compensation will work, and who is that hooded young lady?"
Virtual Reality Company also had a professional team responsible for monitoring online public opinion.
For some of the questions asked by netizens, public relations quickly responded:
"Virtual Reality Company will fully bear the losses caused by the improper operation of 'Guardians' members."
"The actions of the vigilantes are completely in accordance with the law."
"We will deliver the arrested criminals to the police station."
As for the hooded young lady who was healing people, who many people were concerned about, the response was, "We are temporarily unable to disclose this information."
In any case, this team of super-powered individuals, led by the famous Captain America, was understood by the whole world overnight thanks to the Internet. They weren't the first "public" superheroes, but they were the first to demonstrate extraordinary abilities to the world, which opened a brand new door for the world.
