Chapter 1446: Inhumanly Rich Batman
Outside the gla.s.s window, a black, slightly flat oval object flew over, trailing white flames. It broke through the gla.s.s and reached Natasha.
The oval object had a grainy texture, and there was an eye-catching, finely drawn black spider on it.
Recalling Big Dipper’s words about a small gift from Bruce, Natasha got it. “It’s probably for me.”
“So, you have armor too?” Hawkeye had a strange expression on his face. He wanted to say more, but he suddenly drew and shot an arrow, blowing up a Chitauri soldier not far away. “Then you better put it on quickly. I can’t hold them off for long.”
Big Dipper’s teasing voice rang out in Natasha’s earpiece. “Miss Romanoff really has a big heart. Please stand with your legs and arms apart. It will take five seconds for you to suit up in the Black Widow Armor before you can move.”
Natasha did so without hesitation.
Big Dipper was a bit of a chatterbox. She didn’t really like him compared with Batman, who was trustworthy.
The oval object unfurled like a petal and gently stuck to her back. Then, the “petal” expanded and enveloped her.
Five seconds later, she grabbed Dr. Selvig even as the armor module was still expanding. “Let’s go.”
Hawkeye also ran, and fired several explosive arrows in succession to suppress more incoming Chitauri soldiers. “Are you sure you can operate this thing?”
There was envy in his eyes.
Tony, that stingy tyc.o.o.n, wouldn’t hand over the armor even if he was beaten to death, to say nothing of the armor manufacturing technology. For an Avenger to get a suit like Batman’s was a dream come true.
I have to make the director cough up a few… one suit. One suit will do. Hawkeye made the decision in his heart.
In a regular battle, he and Natasha indeed didn’t need armor.
But in a head-on battle like today, a thick suit that could fly was a huge boost in every aspect.
Although Hawkeye was an archer, he was also very good at shooting guns. The suit would also be very useful for him.
These thoughts flashed through his mind.
In the blink of an eye, Hawkeye jumped out of the building behind Natasha.
During the fall, Hawkeye saw the last of her body finally covered by the armor. As she turned around, flames burst out from her back and under her feet, immediately slowing her descent. One hand wrapped around his waist.
She then changed directions and smashed into the building again.
By the time the Chitauri soldiers caught up, she had jumped out of a window on the other side with Hawkeye and Dr. Selvig, and had reached the bottom of the building.
Throwing Dr. Selvig into an empty room on the bottom floor to hide, Hawkeye looked at the Chitauri fliers that were chasing them again. “You’re going?”
He couldn’t wait to see the power of this armor that was clearly tailor-made for her.
Natasha said, “Okay, stand back and wait a bit.”
Hawkeye was confused, but immediately got out of the way.
Batman’s people had already proven how st.u.r.dy the armor was.
Since the start of the battle, none of Batman’s team members had gotten hurt – not a single one.
As Hawkeye ran off and observed Natasha from afar, he saw an enormous shadow rush out from the bottom of the building. It suddenly split open and latched onto her back.
Hawkeye, who usually had an indifferent expression, couldn’t help but curse enviously. “Holy sh*t!”
This was definitely preferential treatment.
Not only had Batman given Natasha a set of custom-made armor, she could also summon interchangeable parts from Batman. This was the real deal.
Natalie took out two thick, short, strange-looking guns from her legs. There were also two machine guns on her shoulders, and two a.s.sault cannons on her arms. Six muzzles in total were aimed at the pursuing soldiers.
She smiled. “Showtime!”
With the combined sounds of different types of gunfire, the incoming Chitauri soldiers were turned into countless pieces which fell like rain.
Hawkeye swallowed. That was cheating.
Recalling how Natasha’s pistols hadn’t been able to kill the soldiers earlier, Hawkeye suddenly understood how Batman’s side had acc.u.mulated more than 4,000 points.
If there had been less Chitauri today, they might have all been eaten up by the other team.
Natasha was also astonished.
Armor was even more of a ha.s.sle than picking clothes. It had to be tailor-made; there was no such thing as universal armor.
Coupled with the Black Spider logo, this suit definitely hadn’t been made on the spur of the moment.
For a moment, she felt like she was dreaming.
It couldn’t be helped. After all, a certain tyc.o.o.n fiercely guarded his own armor, as if it were his wife!
In comparison, Batman was too generous toward his teammates, and he also gave her, a s.h.i.+ELD agent, a set. It was unbelievable.
This was the first set of armor that any s.h.i.+ELD agent had gotten, and it definitely wasn’t fake.
Seeing that there was no movement from Natasha, Hawkeye couldn’t help but remind her, “Hey, those Chitauri fliers will catch up if we don’t leave now.”
No matter how powerful this armor was, it couldn’t withstand so many soldiers at one go!
As he was thinking that, Electric Cable laughed wildly over the comms. “Double kill!”
Not far away, a huge worm battles.h.i.+p that had been swooping down was split in half from its head toward the middle of its torso, and it crashed to the ground.
A red, blue and white octopus suit swung under it and pulled itself back into a building with two tentacles.
Ivan, that psycho, had successfully crashed a second battles.h.i.+p today, and had become a strong compet.i.tor for the t.i.tle of “Worm Killer.”
Hawkeye was shocked. “Let’s go. If we don’t work hard, we won’t have anything to do today.”
Natasha also came back to herself and took a deep breath. “Then let’s go play.”
She had been looking at the relevant data on the armor and its external components.
To her surprise, there were still hundreds of external components hidden throughout Manhattan that could be switched out at any time to ensure continuous offensive output.
What was even more unbelievable was that Batman was still hiding something.
A total of 20 unnamed items had yet to appear.
They would be activated at the same time when they were needed to provide extreme firepower support in a very short period of time.
However, they were huge and unmanned. Once they appeared, they would definitely be attacked by the Chitauri soldiers, which was why they had yet to be activated.
Natasha was rendered speechless by this discovery. What the h.e.l.l was this? Batman’s side had clearly come prepared to fight an extreme war!
In comparison, Steve came with a s.h.i.+eld, she had small pistols and some special equipment, and Hawkeye still had the same old bow and arrow.
Natasha was lost for words..
