Chapter 8 - New People New Problems

Rorschach reached the stark expo where Iron Man and the War Machine were fighting armed suits. Rorschach decided to help evacuate the people. After he helped the people evacuate, he decided to target the weapon firing at him, which he was easily able to dispatch. After he took the drones down, he went over to help Tony and Rhodes with their robot problem. When he arrived, he saw them battling a bunch of robots and drones. So using his super strength, he took out a couple of robots with a little difficulty. He used them as a shield to block the gunshots. Tony asked him for his plan, to which he responded with, 'The plan is to attack.' Rorschach grunted in response and took out a couple more suits. But right when they thought they were done, he saw a man in a big suit with whips that had some sort of electricity covering them. Tony called him Whiplash, which was kind of a generic name, but it didn't matter right now. Rorschach got some explosives ready and threw them at Whiplash, stunning him long enough so Tony and Rhodes could catch him off guard. But before they could really do any real damage, he managed to wrap his whip around them, greatly damaging their suits. He turned toward Rorschach, firing rockets toward him, trying to eliminate him quickly. However, he managed to dodge them swiftly. While he was distracted, Tony and Rhodes came up with a plan to hit the center of his armor at the same time with their blasters, successfully taking him out. Rorschach, with his job done quickly, left before Tony could talk to him. The last thing he wanted was to have to be there any longer than he had to be. He reported to Nick Fury that the job was done and he was neutralized. When Rorschach got back to Hell's Kitchen, he got news from Nick Fury that he wanted him to meet someone, so he had to have another meeting with the bald director. When he got to the Shield base, he saw someone familiar. It was Captain America who introduced himself to Rorschach. He responded with questions about how Captain America is still alive. Nick quickly responded that he was frozen, and we found him still the same age as when he first disappeared. Rorschach questioned Fury if Captain America was going to be on this Avengers team he was putting together. Fury quickly responded with yes, he will be the leader of the group. Fury told Rorschach that they would call him when they are ready to put together the Avengers, but right now he is free to do anything.

Two months timeskip. Rorschach was investigating a report of a man who went missing from his family while going around asking for help finding him. Rorschach was determined to get to the bottom of this. It looks related to the ninja that attacked him that one night, so he was going to finally get some answers. He tracked him down to an apartment where a private investigator named Jessica Jones lives. He knows of her, but that didn't really matter at this time. He could see the man had a gun pointed at a black man's head, begging Jessica to stop investigating. Rorschach was going to step in, but a woman with a sword walked into the apartment and attacked them. She ended up killing the man. Jessica started to give chase, but it was no use. Rorschach cursed out loud about ninjas and gave chase to the woman. She was too fast and was able to flee, so he went back to the crime scene, which he was able to do only because Jessica was arrested. But he found nothing interesting, so he just went back to thinking about that woman he saw. She was obviously really skilled, probably could give him a challenge. In the middle of his ramblings, he found Jessica's laptop, so he decided to dig in deeper. He uploaded all of her info that he had on him onto a USB drive. He was about to leave, but before he did, he decided to leave a tracker on her phone, which she had left on the counter, so he could know where she was at all times. So he finally left before the cops could get there. In time, he was out patrolling again when he found a clean-up crew cleaning up a murder scene with what looked like a gun. He swooped down and quickly got a hold of the guy who was cleaning up the crime scene. He started to interrogate the man. The man informed him that he had no idea who did it; he was only ordered to clean it up. So Rorschach let him go but warned him that if he saw him doing this again, he would break every single bone in his body. The man understood and ran away. Rorschach was about to leave when someone told him to stop asking if he knew anything about the Hand. Rorschach ignored the man and was heading towards the door when the man tried to stop him, but he countered the man and took him to the ground. A woman was with him and tried to attack him, but he made quick work of her also. Rorschach saw the man's face and recognized him as Danny Rand, so Rorschach started to ask him about this crime scene. Danny informed him that it was most likely the Hand's doing. Rorschach asked him who the Hand was, and after a brief explanation, he was informed about who the Hand were. Let's just say they have to be stopped. So Rorschach gave Danny a burner phone, so if he needed help fighting the Hand, then he would be there as quickly as possible. Rorschach was now back home, questioning how he always gets himself into messes, why can't he be a normal person.
