6 The Defenders

"Before that i need to ask you guys do any of you have connections with lawyers, prosecutors, judges, newspaper publisher and police officers that you can trust" i said as looked them.

Daredevil replied "I have some ideas on lawyers, prosecutors and judges.

I have someone in New York Bulletin". Jessica replied "I have someone an attorney, Jeryn Hogarth. I am not sure she will help but i can try ask whether she has any connections since she owes me for my assistance in some of her cases. By the way why are we talking at my place?".

"I am sorry my friends i don't know anyone but i have a friend, Colleen Wing. She may be able to help us out with her skills" Ironfist said casually ignoring Jessica.

Luke said " i know a police detective in one of the New York Precinct".

Spiderman said "I know a newspaper publisher from Daily Bugle".

Looking at Spiderman, i said "Don't say it is J. Jonah Jameson".

Spiderman replied "He may be a pain in the ass but he is a good and he is not afraid of threats. Don't worry, i think i know a way a deal with him".

Doubting Spiderman, i decided to move on "I know may know two good police captain from different precinct but i have not approach them yet".

I begin saying "My plan is that first we have to identify the corrupt cops that is in the crime syndicates pocket. It is best that the cops deal with their members since we can't take action against them. Police officers trust their own rather than vigilantes. We will collect the all the evidences of their wrong doings and pass the info to our contacts so that they can deal with on their own or they will contact the internal affairs police members that they trust".

"Second, we need to find out all the criminal syndicates safe houses, base of operation and where they put their cash. We will need to gather the evidences of their criminal's activities and their wrong doings which we will share with the police department and authorities. If we take action ourselves against the criminals, they will surely find a way to get out of custody or they will only be imprison for a short period of time".

"We might need to work or link together our operation with the polices or authorities and strike at the heart of criminal syndicates on the same day to avoid and reduce the numbers of criminals from escaping". "We must inform our contacts to reduce the numbers of people that know of the operation and only peoples that they trust so leaks will be prevented".

"If it involves life try to do the rescue stealthily or use diversions, we don't want them them to be spook and go into hiding". "This operation might take nearly one or two months to complete and if we are lucky a week if can get their books of their financing and their list of members" i said to the members.

"That is my plan for now, if there is any problems or things that we need to change or add just say it today or a later date. So are you guys in or out".

Spiderman excitedly replied "I'm in!".

The others looked at each other before replying "I'm in" with Daredevil nodding his head in the corner.

Spiderman suddenly quip in "By the way, where are the Irish and Italian mobs in Hell's Kitchen?".

I replied "Currently they have went dark and seems like seems they are not planning to put up their stake hold in this area". Spiderman nodded his head.

I continued "Ironfist i need you and your friend to focus on the chinese mobs, Daredevil and Spiderman deal with the yakuza, Jessica and Luke will deal with Russian mafia while i will deal with the corrupt cops". "I have also came up with a name for our group".

"What is it? What is it?" Spiderman asked excitedly.

Daredevil was silent stared at me.

Luke Cage said "Do we even need one, i don't thing naming our group is important".

Ironfist said "Naming ourself might help motivate us and show our commitment as a group to accomplish our goals".

Jessica laughed "Sounds childish".

Looking at them i said "The Defender".

Spiderman shouted " Yes!!! Superhero team-up!!". With all the others sighing and putting a hand on their faces.

With Daredevil finally saying "How old is he and where you have found him???".

First week of investigation

it took me two whole days (weekend) and I finally manage to create an artificially intelligent system named Oracle with Ariana Grande voice. It is tasked in helping Bernard to run business for Stan Industries as well as the security of the safe houses and my home. Oracle interact with me like a human being by being able respond according to the users thoughts and emotions with the capability to learn and only stay loyal to me.

Oracle is connected to the global information while also having access to an unlimited amount of resources, devices and programs that she can control and use at on own will to aid me if needed. With the help of Oracle, i was able to easily filter through all the police departments and determine which police officers that i had to pay attention to.

Leaning back on my chair and putting my legs on the table i said "Oracle, please hacked into the surveillance camera and suspected police officers devices like computers and phones". "Highlight important information we need, track their every moves to see their connections with criminals, record their conversations and save only important information we need.

Oracle replied "Ok, Harry! I'm working on that but seriously you are a slave driver".

Laughing i replied "So how is the others doing?".

Oracle replied "They are busy and not as relax as you right now. You have 25 unanswered text messages from Spiderman".

"Is it important or is he in danger?" i said.

Oracle giggled "Nope, he is just bored out of his mind since he is with Daredevil".

Sighing i said "Help me deal with Pete and keep track on Captain George Stacy and Captain Yuriko Watanabe current location. Also find where is Mary Jane Watson"(out of curiosity).

"Ok, Harry! Will get back to you soon". Hearing that, i took a nap.

.....

Captain George Stacy's apartment, 9pm.

As he entered his apartment, he called "Gwen I am home!!!. Are you still hungry? I brought supper and it is your favorite pizza!".

Gwen replied "Nice timing dad!!! I am at the balcony and we have a guest". Putting down the pizza on the table, he looked towards the balcony and he had a huge scare as he say a weirdly dress man in black and blue costume. Quickly upholstering his gun and pointing towards the man he shouted "Gwen, get away from that guy!!".

"Dad, Stop! Put down the gun! He is a friend!". Confused he relax his posture slightly and holstered his gun.

"Relax, Captain George! I am Nightwing, i come in peace and we need to talk" i said as Gwen crossed her arms and said "Dad, please don't try to embarrass me ok!".

Relaxing himself George looked at me and said "NightWing, I don't like vigilantes and you should have not come to my house if you want to talk to me".

I replied "I had no choice, knowing your character i believe you will try arresting me first before i can even talk".

Staring at me, he finally said "You have my attention, talk but know this i hate people hiding behind mask. if you want to be a hero become a police".

Smiling i replied "Duly Noted! I am hiding my identity only to protect my families, friends and the people around me. I respect law enforcement for doing their job but having a mask i can help do things that law enforcement can't do". As i hold out two files, i said "This is the reason why come and you will understand me if you read this files first before we continue talking" (1. Evidences of the criminal activity in Hell's Kitchen / 2. Evidence and proof of the corrupt cops helping the criminals)

......

After half an hour, reading the information and evidences that we have collected, George put down the files and sigh. Then he said "I am not happy that we as a law enforcement have to work with you but tell me what are you planning to do".

I replied "I only help law enforcement only if they can't make it within the golden time and if a particular situation is too dangerous". Then i slowly disclosed to Captain George on the plan that i have made so far and explain what we have done so far. Seeing that Gwen has fallen asleep on the sofa while we are talking, i decided to leave.

Passing him another file i said "I have to go. This is the list of the captains in New York and members of the internal affairs that you can trust. I heard good things of Captain Yuriko Watanabe, talk to her" "Keep the loop small we don't want the criminal to know of our plans" .

As i head towards the balcony, George finally asked "Why me?".
