Angels Must Follow Newton's Laws of Motion Too
Gotham City!
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, layer upon layer obscuring the moonlight, making this gloomy city, with its many Gothic buildings, appear even darker and more terrifying.
A cold wind blew, and a light drizzle fell, cooling down the restless Gotham City and draping it in a veil of tranquil, hazy mist.
Russell crossed his arms and rode Vertical Takeoff Glider, weaving between skyscrapers. His blue eyes beneath his visor precisely scanned the area within sight, searching for a suitable opponent for Selina.
For newbies leaving the village, Wayne Manor isn't suitable; Arkham Asylum...
Let's talk about it in a couple of days!
"Mr. Russell, it's raining tonight, and the criminals haven't gone out. Why don't we go home and pet the cats too?" Selina shivered in the cold wind, but with her current constitution, the chill was secondary.
The main problem is that I feel disheartened!
Because the glider had limited space and was only for individual use, there was no room for two people. Russell simply tied a rope to the wing and suspended Selina in mid-air.
Selina couldn't understand Russell anymore. He was honest, but he often secretly tried to take advantage of her. He was a womanizer, but he would rather leave her alone in the cold wind than give her a romantic princess carry.
Looking down at the dazzling neon-lit streets and the dark shadows of the buildings, Selina gripped the rope tightly against the wind, her calves betraying her as they began to cramp.
My pet cat is afraid of heights!
"Don't be silly, this is Gotham, a synonym for filth and crime. It's bound to have criminals." Russell ignored Selina's complaints, accelerated his glider, and flew towards Gotham Port amidst high-pitched screams.
Since petty thugs and hooligans couldn't help Selina gain experience, Russell decided to try his luck in Gotham Port.
Under normal circumstances, the port is always a gathering place for family criminals at night. Even with Batman visiting every few days, the port is still a hotbed of gang activity.
The reason is simple: owning a piece of land in the port means that no matter what business you do, you'll make money quickly!
The glider activated its low-altitude silent mode, Russell lowered the altitude, and put down Selina, whose legs were trembling. The two stood on a ten-story office building.
"Mr. Russell, I never imagined your mode of transportation was a high-tech glider. I always thought you traveled by wings." Selina looked enviously at the Vertical Takeoff Glider floating beside her, not because of its powerful mobility, but because standing on it to fight crime would be very cool.
Unlike her, who can only be exposed to the wind!
"What, can't I use high-tech gadgets?"
"No! I just think that you are an angel after all, and suddenly being so scientific... is not scientific at all!" Selina complained.
"Don't be silly, even angels have to follow Newton's Laws of Motion."
"Really?" Selina asked in surprise.
"Yes, occasionally."
Russell gave a perfunctory answer, his eyes scanning the area before quickly finding a warehouse or factory. A dozen cars were parked in front, and several cigarette glows flickered on and off. Selina wouldn't believe there wasn't some shady deal going on.
"Go ahead, either start your superhero journey here, or you'll fall short right at the beginning, ending your unrealistic hero dreams and becoming an ordinary person. I happen to need an assistant, the kind that's available 24/7," Russell threatened coldly.
Selina gave an awkward smile, "Mr. Russell, can I choose the assistant job directly? Of course, 24 hours is too long. I only work eight hours a day and I don't accept working overtime on Sundays."
"An eight-hour night shift?"
"Day shift," Selina replied decisively.
"Heh, get out of here!" Russell sneered twice, ignoring her nonsense.
"Hmph, what's with the attitude? Nobody wants to be your assistant! Don't think I don't know you fire assistants faster than a woman changes clothes..."
Selina muttered to herself, standing on the edge of the rooftop and peering down. Ten stories high, it seemed.
No, I'm dizzy!
"Mr. Russell, could I borrow your hang glider?"
Selina said sweetly, but she was gone halfway through her sentence. She was kicked in the butt and fell headfirst off the rooftop.
"Ah..."
"Perform well. You're the one who wants to be a superhero, and I'm helping you fulfill your dream..." Russell pulled his foot back and glanced down. He dared to kick Selina down, so he wasn't afraid she would fall to her death.
In the original comics, Catwoman is Gotham City's best thief, possessing exceptional talent for stealing and being cunning enough to be an expert at escaping.
She possesses cat-like speed, reflexes, balance, and flexibility. Her attack techniques are flexible and unpredictable, making her a formidable close-combat fighter.
But that's about it; her combat strength is at most elite, and the top-tier fighters could easily kill her.
Batman is an exception. Despite his fighting skills being among the best in the DC Universe, he always gets thoroughly humiliated when facing Catwoman.
We won't delve into the specific reasons, but all we need to know is that while Batman lost face, he won in life!
Selina, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any talent for stealing or escaping yet, but she's incredibly stupid. Perhaps she hasn't been beaten enough, which makes her seem a bit dim-witted.
To be honest, it's only because I met a kind person like Russell that I was able to get away with it; otherwise, I would have been happily counting the money for him even after being sold out.
If you lack strength and your intelligence is mediocre, then you can only make up for it with equipment.
Russell designed a series of gadgets for her, including a half-face helmet with bulletproof protection, a Batman -style belt containing Grappling Hook Gun, throwing knives, Smoke Bombs, Flashbangs, and other items.
There are also replicas of Black Widow's Electric Bracers that can fire tear gas balls and Miniature Bomb.
In addition, the synthetic Stretch Bodysuit has bulletproof, explosion-proof, impact-proof, cut-proof, fireproof and insulating properties. The hand guards and boots are specially reinforced, and sharp claws can be ejected from the ten fingers, making it easier for her to climb walls while attacking.
In the original book, Catwoman's signature weapon, the whip, was removed by Russell. She already had a tight leather outfit; adding a long whip would have been too obscene.
It's fair to say that, following Marvel's Natasha, Bucky, Yelena, and others, Russell has begun creating superheroes in the DC Universe.
It wasn't that Russell was bored; rather, the torch of justice couldn't be extinguished with him and had to be passed on from hand to hand!
As for Selina, a newbie who currently only knows how to hide and fight, whether she can make good use of various gadgets in actual combat is not Russell's concern.
Newcomers always have to pay some tuition fees!
As she plummeted from the sky, Selina screamed twice, realizing that Russell wouldn't come to her rescue. In a panic, she launched her cat claws, piercing the wall to reduce the force of her fall.
After landing, she grinned at the rooftop and, thinking no one was watching, secretly gave Russell the middle finger.
Who's there?
The screams attracted patrolling gang members. Four armed men ran over, searched the area but found no one, and reported the situation using walkie-talkies.
Selina scrambled up the wall and nimbly disappeared into the darkness. Taking advantage of the reduced number of patrols around the factory, she climbed in through a window.
For her first time playing a superhero, Selina was both excited and scared. Lacking practical experience, she took a cautious approach and slowed down her movements as much as possible, carefully climbing the wall and finally hanging upside down from the ceiling.
The warehouse shelves were piled high with cardboard boxes of all sizes. In the center, two Men in Black from different gangs stood in stark contrast, with one of them, who appeared to be the leader, engaged in a heated conversation.
Selina possessed enhanced hearing and easily caught the sound, understanding the reason for the two leaders' argument.
The price couldn't be agreed upon!
A gang was selling valuable jewelry they had stolen from a jewelry store. The buyer believed that there were few truly valuable pieces and that most were just shoddy goods, so he wanted to offer a 50% discount on the original price.
His haggling attitude angered the gang leader. He risked being captured by Batman and painstakingly stole a batch of jewelry, only to find that the other party was negotiating the price with him!
Forget about the condition! Why didn't you mention the condition when you initially ordered the goods?
They only spoke up after he had already stolen the goods; it was clearly a deliberate attempt to lower the price!
Selina, looking down from her vantage point, decided to observe first. She figured a fight was about to break out below, and it would be wise to wait until both sides were exhausted before cleaning up the mess.
"That necklace suits me perfectly, and the ring is nice too... That sapphire is so beautiful... I really want the bracelet too... But superheroes shouldn't double-cross each other, that kind of thinking is wrong... But in a chaotic battle, it's not surprising to lose a couple!"
Selina's eyes lit up; her childhood dream of being a superhero was utterly shattered in the face of real money.
However, she was overthinking it. These days, people are in it for the money, and even if things get ugly, the price still needs to be negotiated.
The two leaders drew their guns and pointed them at each other's heads, but neither of them had the safety on. They were spitting wildly at each other, one demanding more money and the other saying it wasn't worth it.
Selina waited patiently for five minutes, and the two leaders argued for five minutes before finally settling on a price acceptable to both sides. They immediately put away their pistols, took out the champagne they had prepared beforehand, and each drank a glass to celebrate the successful cooperation.
"..."
Selina was stunned. She had learned something new. Reality was completely different from the movies. There was no poison in the champagne. Ignoring some details, this was just a legitimate business transaction.
Clang!
Just as Selina was at a loss, fate gave her a push from behind. A hammer flew in from nowhere, struck the roof beam next to her, and landed squarely on the gang leader's forehead.
The leader was struck hard, his head bleeding profusely. In a very scientific manner, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, sobbing.
It probably won't work!
Who is it!?
The leader of the contact party was suddenly attacked, and both groups immediately jumped up in fright. Some collected money, and some collected jewelry, without rashly starting a fight with the other side.
Soon, the warehouse lights came on, and Selina, dressed in all black, became the most eye-catching person in the room.
"Damn it, someone's up there!"
"Shoot him! Kill him! He killed my older brother! My own brother!"
"..."
Selina: ()/
She felt like she'd seen that hammer somewhere before!
Since the guild leader "Still came to see the official version" gave a reward, the extra chapter will be added tomorrow!
