Heroes of Marvel
chapter-808

When he was tricked by Hydra to do the new Winter Soldier experiment, Tom experienced the greatest pain of his life. After the experiment succeeded, Tom, who survived, lost his consciousness and became a ruthless warrior who only listened to orders and was completely controlled by Hydra.

After luckily becoming a new Winter Soldier, Tom was forced to instill a series of combat skills and the ability to use a variety of machinery and weapons. In order for the new Winter Soldier to be able to master these skills, some real combat was inevitable.

So, Tom went through a long period of skill training before he could really be called a Winter Soldier. At that time, Tom did not have his own consciousness. After his recovery, Tom could often recall the cruel training during that time in his dream.

It was also when he remembered everything that happened when he was Winter Soldier that Tom had great inadaptability to normal life. Otherwise, Tom wouldn’t have stayed at home for more than a week.

Pū Pū!

At this time, Tom subconsciously clenched his fists when he heard the sound of hard objects hitting the human body in the alley. Still, after standing outside the alley for a few seconds, Tom unclenched his fist and prepared to leave. No matter what happened inside, it had nothing to do with him, and Tom’s not in a good place to start anything right now.

Clatter!

“Haha! Do you also want to be like Mirage Knight? You want to be a Vigilante?!”

Bang!

And just as Tom took a new step, a few words came out of the alley. Although the sound was already very small when it came out, Tom, who was far from normal, still heard it clearly. It was because of these two words of contempt that Tom stopped and silently turned around.

“Dressed like a Superhero? Didn’t your mother tell you not to take apart the clothes she hid in the closet? Hahahaha~” When Tom stopped and turned around, loud voices and laughter continued to spread from the alley.

“That’s right! Does he really think he’s Mirage Knight in all this crap? Do you really think Mirage Knight is that good? He’s just an asshole!” A second voice followed the roar, and Mirage Knight was mentioned again.

It’s not clear if the person they’re beating up idolizes Mirage Knight, or if they hate Mirage Knight so much that they’re beating him up and denigrating him.

“Bah! Aren’t you scared shitless of Mirage Knight?!” After the two arrogant voices finished cursing, a very young voice suppressed the pain in his body and retorted.

As if they didn’t think that the wounded guy who had been beaten could talk, the two guys with fierce looks were momentarily stunned. However, after being stunned for a second, the words of the young man seemed to have been stabbed the pain nerve in their bodies and they raised the iron rod in their hands again.

“I told you, you talk too much!”

Brush!

While he was cursing, the iron bar had swung over the head of the man on the ground. If it hits then the person on the ground will be disabled. It seemed that his stubborn words had completely kindled the cruelty in both men.

However, when the two of them were going to maim the man on the ground, they didn’t notice that there was another figure behind them. When the iron rod in the man’s hand was drawn to the head of the guy on the ground, the man who appeared behind them just raised his hand.

Boom!

In the next second, just as the iron rod was about to hit the head of the man on the ground, a black shadow flew over from behind and just hit the iron rod. The huge force directly knocked the iron rod into the air and the man who fell to the ground was also spared from this heavy attack.

“Who?!” The iron rod in his hand slipped away, and the guy who was still committing the crime just shouted and turned around. At the same time, his accomplice also turned around suspiciously.

Shout!

And just as they turn around to see what’s going on, a figure approaches in front of them. Then, without giving either of them time to react, a fist hit them back and forth in the face.

Pū Pū!

There were two muffled thuds, some sputtering saliva, and a few broken teeth, and the two men who had been so ferocious just now flew straight back, crashing into the alley wall and falling silent. Judging by the way they look, they probably won’t be waking up anytime soon.

Da Da~

Only after the two men had been dealt with in an instant did the sudden figure take two steps towards the wounded man on the ground and then slowly crouch down.

“Are you all right?” Tom asked calmly as he looked at the guy lying on the ground wearing colorful tights and an ugly hood.

That’s right, the one who saved the life of this guy on the ground was Tom who was about to leave. If he hadn’t heard the two comatose guys slander Mirage Knight, Tom wouldn’t really care about it. Still, Tom would love to save someone who was clearly Mirage Knight’s fan.

“Cough cough! Huh?! I am okay!!” Hearing Tom’s voice, the guy who fell to the ground coughed a few times, and then replied with a little excitement in his voice.

Just when the iron rod was about to hit him, the guy on the ground subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, the two gangsters were already on the ground, and in front of him appeared a man who looked like a sunny looking big boy. No, although this boy looks very young, he does not look at him as an ordinary young man, but as someone who has experienced a lot.

“Cough cough! Thank you, if it weren’t for you, I would probably be dead by now.” After coughing a few more times, the guy on the ground tried his best to turn over and try to get up as he spoke.

Huh~

“You’re welcome. Are you a Mirage Knight fan?” “Tom asked as he reached out and helped the guy up.

“Thanks~ uh! That’s right, I’m Mirage Knight’s fan!” With Tom’s help, he stood up, and the guy in the weird tights replied excitedly after hearing Tom’s question.

“You too?!” After answering Tom’s question, the guy followed up with a follow-up question.

Hearing the question from the guy who could hardly stand in front of him, Tom blinked his eyes several times and was stunned. But it didn’t take him long to catch on.

“No, I’m not a Mirage Knight fan.”

Hearing Tom’s answer, the guy he helped up seemed disappointed. But before he could say anything more, Tom spoke up.

“No, I’m not a Mirage Knight fan. I am a… Friend of his.”

…

After Tom finished saying this, the atmosphere in this dimly lit alley became a little strange. The eyes of Mirage Knight’s fan, who wore a hood with only one pair of eyes, instantly widened, and even if other expressions couldn’t be seen on his face, the look in his eyes was enough to guess how excited and shocked he was at this time.

Brush!

Then he ripped off the dirty hood to reveal his bloody face. At this point, however, he would not care about his injuries.

“Are you serious?! Are you really Mirage Knight’s friend?!” The guy who ripped off his hood tightly grabbed Tom’s shoulder and asked with a nervously and excited expression on his face.

Ignoring the rude behavior of the guy in front of him, Tom nodded silently, “Yes, I am a friend of Mirage Knight.”

Shout!

“Ah! I’m going to faint! I’m going to faint!” After confirming what Tom said again, the guy seemed so excited that he couldn’t control himself.

Judging from his appearance, he probably completely believed Tom’s words. Although Tom was telling the truth, ordinary people couldn’t believe it. It can only be said that the fan of the Mirage Knight in front of him is relatively simple-minded. Maybe it’s also because Tom saved his life just now.

“By the way, you still haven’t told me your name?” Tom asked as he looked at the dancing creature in front of him.

Since this guy is a Mirage Knight fan and wants to be a Vigilante, Tom is interested in him. After all, Tom couldn’t have been fooled by Hydra if he hadn’t been aware of his friend’s alternate identity.

“Ah! My name is Dave! Dave Lizewski!” Hearing Mirage Knight’s friend asking his name, the guy answered without hesitation.

“Dave Lizewski… My name is Tom, Tom Smith.” After the guy in front of him introduced himself, Tom also introduced himself.

“Yes! Hello! Mr. Smith!”

Tom: “…”

A few minutes later, Tom was a few hundred meters out of that alley. Beside him, a young man about his age in a jumper suit walked with him. Although the person beside him was wearing a loos jumper, it couldn’t hide the unnaturalness of his walking, he was injured. And, if one looks closely, they would be able to see a lot of bruises on his face. Those bloodstains have been simply cleaned, and now Dave Lizewski is not looking so beaten up.

“That…… Tom, it’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that this is amazing. Are you really… Are you really friends with Mirage Knight? The Mirage Knight! From fighting street crime to becoming the Superhero Mirage Knight!” Walking slowly beside Tom, Dave Lizewski once again confirmed the situation for the first time.

Looking at the strange new boy beside him, even though Tom has matured a lot because of a lot of things, he can’t help but get a little depressed. Seeing that Dave took out his phone and started searching for Mirage Knight’s information on the Internet, Tom could only continue to speak.

“I do know Mirage Knight and count him as a friend. However, I don’t know what he did as Mirage Knight. So if you want to ask me about this, you might as well go directly to the League of Defenders’ official website. Got it.” Tom said calmly when Dave put the phone in front of him.

“Uh… Ok!” Hearing Tom’s words, Dave still suppressed a lot of questions about Mirage Knight in his mind.

“Were you fighting street thugs?” Taking a glance at the backpack that Dave was carrying, Tom changed the subject. The colorful homemade tights that Dave was wearing before were packed in this backpack.

“Well, I’ve been watching them for a long time. Just…… If I had been better prepared this time, it would have been different!” Dave replied with a twitched mouth when he heard Tom’s question.

“If you had prepared better, I probably could not have saved you.” Seeing Dave’s reluctance, Tom said faintly.

“Huh? Why?”

While Dave was wondering, Tom had pulled a small gun out of his shirt. Those two street thugs didn’t just hit people over the head with iron bars, they’ve got guns. If Dave had done them any harm, Dave would have ended up with not a beating, but probably a bullet wound.

“This is!… A gun, a real gun! Tom, where did you get that?t!” Dave shouted in surprise when he saw the gun in Tom’s hand.

The connection between what Tom had just said and the gun he was now taking out had not yet entered Dave’s simple mind. He thought it was Tom’s own.

“This is not mine, I took it from those two people. So if you had managed to injure them and didn’t incapacitate them quickly, do you think you would still survive?” Tom explained helplessly when he saw the expression on Dave’s face.

Gasp~

Dave gasped at Tom’s explanation. Dave is not afraid of being beaten; he’s rough and thick anyway. But if a shot had been taken, Dave’s life would have ended up in that alley forever, and that’s not the result he wanted when he decided to become a Vigilante.

“He! ~He! They even have guns!” Dave couldn’t even imagine that he dared to attack people with guns, but he was now terrified with hindsight.

“Well, so, if you want to do this kind of thing in the future, you must first determine the opponent’s real strength and situation. Otherwise, you won’t have such good luck next time.” Tom said seriously as he looked at Dave’s fearful face.

“Huh? Do you think I can still do such a thing? After all, I’m so weak that I can’t even beat two street thugs.” Dave looked up at Tom in surprise and asked when he heard Tom’s words.

Dave’s dream of becoming a Vigilante like Mirage Knight was almost shattered after what happened today. Dave, after all, was just a human being, and a very weak one at that, who was able to do something like this entirely with the virtue of his heart. Now that reality has hit him, he had come to realize that this kind of thing is not so easy to do.

“What if… I said I could help you?”
