Agent Carter

"Young man, thank you very much for saving us!"

"If it weren't for you today, things would have been truly terrible."

Howard Stark's voice interrupted Rorschach's thoughts.

The playboy quickly approached Rorschach and sincerely expressed his gratitude.

If it weren't for the appearance of this remarkable young man, the consequences would have been truly unimaginable.

However, what Howard Stark didn't know was that even if Rorschach hadn't appeared, he and Anton Vanko wouldn't have died.

But getting injured was likely unavoidable.

At the same time, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents around him probably wouldn't have survived.

"Mr. Stark, are you alright?"

Rorschach glanced at the dusty and disheveled Howard Stark and asked.

"I'm fine, I feel like I could have a few more drinks right now."

Howard Stark waved his hand, then stared at Rorschach and asked, "Young man, what's your name? I'm Howard Stark, but you already know me, so I probably don't need to introduce myself, right?"

"Rorschach." Rorschach gave his name; there was nothing to hide.

Even if Howard Stark hadn't asked specifically, Rorschach would have found an opportunity to reveal his name.

For him, doing a good deed should always be remembered.

"Rorschach~" Howard Stark seemed a little surprised. "So you're from Huaxia?"

In Howard Stark's impression, people from Huaxia were all very frail. He hadn't expected the person in front of him to completely shatter his preconceived notions.

Bang!

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a decisive woman, leading a group of people, rushed in.

She was like Charles, a woman with a strong British flair, and she had a very voluptuous figure.

Although not young by the standards of this era, she possessed a mature charm.

Peggy Carter.

When Rorschach noticed Peggy Carter's distinctly unusual qualities, he seemed to understand what Captain America liked about her.

"Jesus Christ!"

Peggy Carter scanned the messy scene and the three werewolf corpses lying on the ground, her expression immediately changing.

So the Soviets had sent werewolves to assassinate them?

What an oversight.

They had only screened for trained agents or spies, which allowed several werewolves to slip through.

"Stark, are you alright!"

A look of concern immediately appeared on Peggy Carter's face as she quickly moved to Howard Stark's side.

"Calm down, Peggy, I'm perfectly fine!"

Howard Stark said to Peggy Carter in a deliberately relaxed tone, even doing a little spin in front of her.

To show he was unharmed.

Peggy Carter finally relaxed completely.

She then looked at Anton Vanko, who was being guarded by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and after confirming the mission was complete, her gaze shifted to Rorschach.

"Stark, who is this?"

Peggy Carter glanced at Howard Stark.

"This is a remarkable Huaxia kid. Fortunately, he showed up in time, or we would have probably become food for those beasts."

Howard Stark briefly recounted the events to Peggy Carter.

After listening, a flash of astonishment crossed Peggy Carter's eyes, and she couldn't help but look at Rorschach a few more times.

Her eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Rorschach, thank you very much for everything you've done today. It was incredibly cool, truly. I've never seen such a cool young man."

"However, could you spare some time now and come back with us? We need to get some information from you."

"Don't misunderstand, this is all standard procedure. Oh, and by the way, you might know I'm Howard Stark, but you probably don't know my other identity."

Howard Stark continued to speak politely to Rorschach, then took out a business card and handed it to Rorschach.

"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division?"

Rorschach couldn't help but shake his head. Such a convoluted name; he wondered which genius had come up with it.

"I know, I know..."

Howard Stark said with a helpless expression, "Honestly, I don't like the name either, but at least it accurately states what we do, doesn't it?"

"Mr. Stark, may I offer a suggestion?" Rorschach casually put away the business card.

"Of course!"

"What about S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Howard Stark's eyes lit up. "Like a shield, protecting our national security. Very visual, very fitting. Carter, honestly, I think we might need to consider..."

Peggy Carter's face darkened a bit.

Howard Stark, you're the head of an intelligence organization now. Can you please be a little more serious for me!

"Simon, you three stay. Everyone else, fall back!" Peggy Carter commanded decisively.

"Rorschach, I promise, it won't take up too much of your time. Just a simple procedural step," Howard added, speaking to Rorschach. "What do you say?"

Rorschach himself wasn't particularly interested in going through some procedural steps at S.H.I.E.L.D.

But just as he was about to refuse, Rorschach thought again. S.H.I.E.L.D. was inherently a place of trouble, and Howard Stark was a man of no simple identity.

Would some new quests be triggered because of this?

Although Rorschach had just completed a quest, he felt the possibility of triggering another one wasn't very high. But the System wasn't developed by Rorschach, so everything was just his speculation!

Even now, Rorschach still hadn't figured out the System's quest triggering mechanism.

So, why not take this opportunity to give it a try?

If a quest could be triggered, that would be best. He could earn another wave of Origin Points as a reward.

If no quest was triggered, it wouldn't matter much. At the very least, he could expand his network with people like Howard Stark, which might be useful in the future.

It was a win-win situation with no downsides.

No matter how he calculated it, it was a good deal!

Rorschach made his decision.

"Okay, no problem. But before that, I need to say hello to my friends," Rorschach said to Howard Stark.
