Chapter 68: The demigod
Everybody got scared by this move except for Thor. Thor didn't have a notion of guns from earth and he felt no weapon of earth could threaten him. John raised his eyebrows when he saw this action.
"Sitwell, you and your agents should lower your guns. I don't like being threatened." John said in a cold tone. His expression showing no fear whatsoever. Eric took both the woman behind him. Eric knew that SHIELD was a big thing but he also very well knew that SHIELD wouldn't be stupid enough to shoot at John. SHIELD won't be able to cover up if anything happened to John.
"Sir you should allow us to do our jobs. It will be better that way." Sitwell replied with a smile.
"Sigh! What a headache." John said with a bland tone.
As soon as he said that a shining long rope tied around Sitwell, making Sitwell stiff in his place. The agents got frightened by this action and turned their head towards the direction from where the rope came from. Only to see a woman in a red-golden armor walking towards them while holding the rope.
She had metal bands in her feet, hands and even on her head which was in the shape of V. All the agents trembled in their feet as they recognized who she was. SHIELD had a policy to watch all works of John so that if someday they cross path in the future with some of the characters of John's works, they would be able to take proper action.
The agents knew who they were facing against. A demigod. Daughter of Zeus.
As the agents were pointing the guns at Diana, she walked towards them. One agent finally couldn't hold it together and shot at her. Diana deflected the bullet by her bangle easily. All agents immediately knew that she was the real deal. Some agents started firing at her. She ran fast towards the agents and started knocking them out. Her attacks were powerful but not fatal enough to kill them. The agents couldn't even respond properly as she was too fast and bullets were always deflected by her bangles.
Thor and others were astonished by seeing her. Jane and Eric didn't even know who she was. Only Darcy knew as she was a big fan of superhero, but she couldn't believe that such a character was real. The notion of a demigod shook her beliefs. Though Eric and Jane knew about Batman they didn't have much interest as they were scientists and superhero genre weren't up their alley.
Even though Thor lost his powers but he could feel that this woman was powerful. For the first time there was seriousness in his face. Sitwell was still stuck in the lasso of truth and standing still. When he saw Diana knocking out everybody his eyes went wide. He knew he was done for. All he could pray was that she wouldn't kill her.
John didn't even look at Sitwell and others but said to Diana who came towards him slowly.
"How was the journey? Lot of bumps on the way?"
"No it was fine. Took me time to realize where I am. Saw Bruce on a poster. And me too. Felt a similar power to my world here, so wanted to pay a visit." she replied.
John smiled to that. He wanted to give vague hints to the agents, who didn't shoot at her, by this conversation in order to misdirect them. The other agents who were trembling on their knees heard their conversation. Since John had lied from beginning, John needed to maintain that lie onward. John took out the mobile and called Coulson to come to his location. Coulson was surprised that John was in New Mexico. He immediately left from the base near the crater.
Truth to be told, John really wanted to kill Sitwell and other Hydra agents here. He was angry with them guns pointing guns at him. But John also knew if does this, it would complicate things and Hydra might just hide away forever. Pierce wasn't the problem, the problem was the other heads of Hydra. It would then take forever to search for them.
After few minutes Coulson reached only to see few agents standing beside and Sitwell tied in a shining rope. When Coulson saw Diana he recognized her immediately. He knew that something happened between Sitwell and Diana and he needed to remedy the situation carefully or he might have to listen to Fury.
"Hello John, can I know what happened?" Coulson asked as he saw Sitwell tied in a rope and many agents lying on the floor unconscious, some were even bleeding. He knew this was bad news.
"Agent Sitwell threatened me with a gun and so did all these agents. Diana was passing by so she taught them a lesson" John shrugged. Coulson heart skipped a beat. Even though John never said anything and was almost invisible to all but Fury had once told him that John was the most dangerous as he might be hiding more characters behind him.
It was fine if it was from John's works but if some characters who SHIELD didn't know had already entered and had contact with John it might be very dangerous. The existence of Naruto's world itself was like a sword pointing at them. He didn't want to make a potential super powered enemy out of John.
Actually it wasn't the total fault of Sitwell. He didn't know the consultant position of John. This secret was only accessible to Level 10 agents and Coulson. So basically he was just following orders, it just that he didn't think properly before threatening John.
"What the hell Sitwell! Do you even know who you are threatening? Do want SHIELD to be on the verge of destruction?" Coulson shouted. Sitwell just stood by and kept his head down. He knew he made a huge mistake. He might even be reprimanded by Pierce. Hydra still wasn't powerful enough to show it's face and making an enemy out of a demigod was a huge mistake.
