What Happened to Clarice

If a normal person were to face Mephisto, who constantly appears before them and tries to stop them like a ghost, their mentality would definitely slowly and completely collapse, either from fear or anger.

But the Joker was no ordinary man. He completely ignored Mephisto and showed no intention of stopping. Let Mephisto follow him if he wanted; he wouldn't stop anyway, so what?

The Joker wanted to see if Mephisto could actually unleash his power, or rather, the Joker was forcing Mephisto to do so in order to attract someone's attention.

When the Joker made a pact with Mephisto, Joker ambushed Mephisto, forcing him to return to the Hell Dimension. At that moment, the Joker saw a ring of fire flash by in mid-air.

The Joker didn't see who was behind the circle of fire, but Joker guessed that they must have come for Mephisto. Otherwise, there was no reason why the circle of fire would disappear immediately after he banished Mephisto back to Hell.

Therefore, the Joker ignored Mephisto completely, waiting for Mephisto to lose his temper and attack him, thus attracting the attention of the mysterious visitor and giving him a chance to get rid of Mephisto completely...

Mephisto seemed to sense the Joker's thoughts, but he showed no sign of rushing things. He leisurely kept Joker Joker in suspense, wanting to see who would prevail in a test of patience. Mephisto hadn't played this kind of game in a long time...

The Joker and Mephisto remained locked in a stalemate, but then a problem arose: the Joker's plan to wreak havoc in Gotham was forced to be shelved. Batman had prepared for the Joker's arrival in Gotham City, but after all the preparations, the Joker made no move whatsoever, leaving Batman somewhat bewildered...

But the longer the Joker didn't appear, the more uneasy Batman became, because he felt he had truly lost touch with the Joker's way of thinking. Perhaps the Joker was lurking in the shadows, setting up a massive scheme, waiting for him to let his guard down. How could Batman dare to relax?

Robet was unaware of what had happened in Gotham recently. After immersing himself in his cultivation due to the appearances of the Dimensional Debt Collector and Mephisto, he planned to first completely appease Kara before considering how to deal with Diana.

However, to Robet's surprise, Constantine contacted him again, not about Mephisto, but about Clary.

To be honest, this matter is even somewhat related to Carol, who helped build the base on the Savage Island and took over Clark's job.

Previously, Nick Fury had finally regained his confidence after Carol's return, and he was just waiting for Carol to deal with Clark and Robet, either to eliminate them or to subdue them, so that he could bring Clark and Robet into the Avengers and make them work for him.

But before Nick Fury could even begin to dream, Carol suddenly disappeared, and Nick Fury's newly revised plans collapsed. How could Nick Fury possibly accept this?

Furthermore, things remained calm on Alex's side, and no useful information could be found. Nick Fury had completely lost track of Carol's whereabouts, but Nick Fury still somewhat unwilling to give up.

Therefore, Nick Fury finally broke with his previous plan and shifted his focus from top-tier superheroes with significant influence and combat power to weaker superhumans. After all, his subordinates, Black Widow Natasha and Hawkeye Barton, were not particularly strong either. If he continued to look down on them, it would be difficult for Nick Fury to assemble an Avengers even in eight or ten years.

Nick Fury's current plan is to first gather a group of superhumans and use them to find more and more powerful superhumans. Since the quality is not good, he will first try to increase the quantity. However, Nick Fury, who is still unwilling to give up, is still stubbornly unwilling to call this group of superhumans the Avengers.

As Jocelyn had connections to the supernatural world, she became a target of Nick Fury.

Actually, Nick Fury had long forgotten about his sister. After all, what he told Carol wasn't a lie. Since becoming the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., he had basically cut off all contact with his family. He had become a loner, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the growth of S.H.I.E.L.D.. and the safety of the world.

Nick Fury, being part of S.H.I.E.L.D.., is constantly being watched when he goes out. If his family's information were to become known, he would definitely be targeted by those with ulterior motives.

Nick Fury didn't want this to happen, nor did he want to focus too much on his family's safety, as that would undoubtedly distract him. Therefore, Nick Fury chose to cut off all contact and ignore family relationships...

However, Clary had previously contacted Nick Fury because of Jocelyn's disappearance, which reminded Nick Fury of his sister who had connections to the extraordinary world, especially since he already knew that Jocelyn had returned home safely.

Nick Fury thought that he might be able to reach some people in the supernatural world through Jocelyn, and thus find more subordinates who could work for him.

Nick Fury didn't know how strong Jocelyn really was, but he only intended to use Jocelyn as a stepping stone. He didn't need to care whether Jocelyn was strong or not; if he was, that would be great, since his treatment at S.H.I.E.L.D.. wouldn't be bad anyway.

So, Nick Fury contacted Jocelyn. To be honest, Jocelyn was a little stunned when she received Nick Fury's call, because she never expected Nick Fury to contact her, and when she talked to Clary before, Clary had never mentioned that she had contacted Nick Fury...

"Hello? Nick?" Jocelyn answered the phone hesitantly.

"Jocelyn, I'm so glad you're alright!" Nick Fury said with great emotion upon hearing Jocelyn's voice. "Clary contacted me earlier, saying something had happened to you, but I was too busy to help you. Thankfully, you're alright now..."

Nick Fury is quite adept at making pleasantries. After all, he needs to use Jocelyn as a stepping stone, so he can't afford to strain the relationship too much. After all, she's his own sister; he can't just coerce or bribe her, can he?

"Clary contacted you?" Jocelyn frowned upon hearing Nick Fury's words, a flicker of confusion crossing her eyes. She nodded, then said softly, "I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern..."

"What kind of talk is that? We're siblings! By the way, where did Clary go?" Nick Fury shook his head with a smile, continuing to try and build rapport.

"She has followed in my footsteps..." Jocelyn sighed softly and said in a low voice.

"She also gained your abilities?" Nick Fury's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected such an unexpected gain. Moreover, it seemed that after Clary awakened her abilities, she didn't go home but stayed in the supernatural world. So Clary should be able to meet quite a few superhumans there.

"I guess so." Jocelyn shook her head, not intending to explain in detail, since, to be honest, she and Nick Fury were really quite estranged.

"Are you really just going to let her wander the supernatural world alone? Have you forgotten what you went through?" Nick Fury said, a mixture of reproach and concern in his voice as he heard Jocelyn's somewhat indifferent tone. "Well then, I'll send someone to find you and have a serious talk. Clary is, after all, my niece. How can she be allowed to wander around the supernatural world alone like this? It's too dangerous!"

"No...no need...um?" Jocelyn instinctively wanted to refuse, but at that moment, there was a knock on her door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"They should be here by now. Come with them. I haven't seen you in a long time. To be honest, I've failed as your older brother..." Nick Fury seemed to hear a knock on the door through the phone. He spoke with some emotion, and hung up before Jocelyn could refuse.

"What does he mean by this?" Jocelyn knew Nick Fury wouldn't be so attentive for no reason, but Jocelyn still couldn't figure out what Nick Fury was up to.

After all, Nick Fury is the head of some official organization; why would he possibly be interested in him and Clary?

Little did Jocelyn know that while the organization itself was official, S.H.I.E.L.D.. had very few useful and visible supernatural abilities and items, and Nick Fury was truly facing a situation where he had no one left to use.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just as Jocelyn was deep in thought, there was another knock on the door. The knock was neither hurried nor slow, and the tone was just right, without any hint of urging.

"..." Jocelyn snapped out of her daze, looked towards the door, sighed, and whispered, "Let's see what he's up to!"

"Hello, Jocelyn, we are the director's men." As soon as the door opened, Jocelyn saw a man with a kind smile. His expression made it difficult for ordinary people to feel much resistance towards him, and the top of his head seemed to be shining.

This man was none other than Coulson, Nick Fury's capable assistant, who, although not particularly strong in combat, was highly efficient.

Behind Coulson stood Hawkeye Barton and an agent named Melinda. This duo, excluding Hawkeye Barton, could be called the chief and deputy chief of Marvel's newbie village. But unfortunately, in this world, Coulson and Melinda had no chance to contact Robet because they were too low-level.

"What does he want from me? I won't go over unless he tells me!" However, even seeing Coulson's friendly smile, Jocelyn still had no intention of going over to the uninvited guest. Jocelyn was no stranger to such a friendly smile; many Demon would wear such a smile, including Valentine, who had smiled like that before. Jocelyn was all too familiar with it.

"As subordinates, we have no way of knowing what the director means, but since we've already come all this way, we can't just leave empty-handed..." Coulson said with a smile, watching Jocelyn's evasive maneuver.

"Furthermore, we'd better not stay here too long. The director's identity is special, and we're on the radar of many powerful groups. If we stay here too long, we'll easily be discovered. If they find out about your relationship with the director, that will be troublesome!"

"You!" Jocelyn's eyes narrowed as she looked at the smiling tiger in front of her, anger rising within her. She knew that a guy with such a smile couldn't be a good person!

"So? Or is Jocelyn going to invite us in for a cup of tea?" Faced with Jocelyn's somewhat angry look, Coulson didn't react much. His smile remained unchanged as he looked at Jocelyn and spoke softly.

"Of course, if we go in for tea, our vehicle will be easily spotted, so..."

"I'll go with you!" Jocelyn said, forcing himself to stay calm and giving Coulson a deep look.

"Okay, Jocelyn, this way..." Coulson nodded in satisfaction and led the way, while Melinda and Hawkeye Barton subtly protected Jocelyn in the middle, or rather, held her hostage in the middle.

"Since I promised you I would go, I won't go back on my word. You don't need to be so wary," Jocelyn said after glancing at Melinda and Hawkeye Barton, noticing their actions.

"I'm used to it. It's always good to be vigilant, to avoid being discovered or failing the mission..." Melinda shook her head and said with a cold expression.

"Jocelyn?!" Before Melinda could finish speaking, a cry of surprise rang out from the side. The voice belonged to Luke, who had just gone out to buy groceries and returned to find Jocelyn being led away by someone. Luke immediately dropped the groceries and rushed towards Jocelyn.

"No!" Jocelyn was stunned for a moment, but before she could shout, Melinda rushed out first, holding two short sticks in her hands, and smashed them at Luke who was rushing towards her. Even after hearing Jocelyn's shout, she did not stop.

Melinda didn't know who Luke was, but Melinda mission was to send Jocelyn back to Nick Fury. Melinda wouldn't be lenient with Luke, who might hinder her mission!

With a loud "bang," the short stick collided with Luke's arm. At the moment of contact, Melinda felt a powerful shock from the stick, which made her hand go numb and almost caused her to drop the stick.

"Damn it!" Luke roared, and without caring about anything else, he instantly transformed into Werewolf and pounced on Melinda.

"Werewolf!?" Melinda's pupils contracted sharply. She ducked to avoid Luke's attack, simultaneously striking Luke's waist with her short stick.

With a loud "bang!", a muffled sound rang out the next moment, and the short stick flew out. Melinda felt as if she had lost feeling in her arm, while Luke, enraged, swung his claws toward Melinda's head!

I almost missed it! (/ω)
