Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 35 The Covenant
Perhaps it was because S.H.I.E.L.D., at least as an official organization on a positive standpoint, did not carry out any follow-up activities after the recruitment failed, which reassured Colt a lot.

Life in high school is actually the same every day. If you don’t pay attention to it deliberately or you are a member of superheroes, then excluding all kinds of devastating events, the probability of ordinary people actually encountering various events in person is very small. It's not as big as they imagined. For them, many things are really just news they see on TV or mobile phone apps.

"Actually, considering my experience a few days ago, perhaps before we know it, this city has faced countless dangers of destruction." During the break between classes, Colt stood in the corridor and watched The boisterous boys and girls downstairs suddenly felt as if they were already living in a different world from them.

"It's as if I'm already a great person." After thinking about it, Colt felt that his thoughts just now were particularly ridiculous, "If you really want to live a different life, you shouldn't refuse the Avengers' invitation .”

"But no matter what, the experience during this period of time can indeed be called magical. It was just an ordinary high school student who would actually get involved in a dispute involving Doctor Doom and Mister Fantastic. I don't know what happened to them later. Have you fully figured out the purpose of Doctor Doom, but considering that the world is not destroyed yet, I think it should be fine." Colt continued to lean on the railing, thinking wildly, "Maybe it's too idle, maybe I should find something Do……"

"What are you thinking?" A cold female voice rang in his ear.Colt turned his head and saw Valeria standing beside him with a backpack.

"Uh, some messy things." Colt replied casually.

"So, you went to secretly become a superhero?" Valeria said as if joking.

"What did you say?" Colt was taken aback.

"Isn't it funny?" Valeria frowned, "I was just trying to tell a joke."

"Huh?" Colt was taken aback.

"You're acting like you're actually blocking a superhero and I've found out." Valeria tried to lighten the mood with another joke.

Colt laughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment. In order to avoid continuing to arouse the other party's suspicion, Colt quickly changed the subject: "How did you come up with the joke of hiding your identity and being a superhero?"

"Ah? Isn't this normal? After all, there are still so many superheroes who choose to hide their identities with masks, so they will always appear a little mysterious in their daily life? Isn't this just a very interesting point?" Leah replied.

"Ah, that's true." Colt decided to stop this topic. If he continued, he might reveal his secrets. Besides, he didn't intend to continue to be a superhero, so let this kind of thing pass. "Speaking of it, Why aren't you going to apply to college directly?"

"This..." Valeria thought to herself, because they are all the same, why not stay here and try to live a normal life rhythm.

She thought for a while and considered her words: "I'm going to try a normal rhythm of life."

"And it's best not to let me do my own research at ease, and not get involved in any strange incidents." She added in her heart.

"That's fine." Colt also replied absent-mindedly.

Just like that, the two fell silent.

Finally, Colt took a deep breath, worked up his courage, and asked, "Do you have time this weekend?"

"Weekends?" Valeria thought for a while. Considering that weekends are the best time for her to study without going to school and being undisturbed, she said, "I will probably read at home and do some research."

"That's it."

Seeing that Colt's mood seemed to be depressed, Valeria continued to ask: "Do you want to ask me out?"

"Ah? This..." Colt was stunned for a moment, stuttering and not knowing how to explain.

"So you really want to ask me out." Valeria seemed to be finally sure, "That makes sense, so you acted so strangely, as if you had something on your mind."

"I..." Colt wanted to explain that he wasn't thinking about this before, but he didn't know how to explain it, and he couldn't deny the idea of ​​asking Valeria out.

"It's very interesting." Valeria suddenly laughed, "But speaking of it, according to my mother, someone like me, who only knows about research, will be interested?"

"I..." Colt felt that he looked particularly clumsy today.

"Speaking of which, do you usually agree to this kind of thing?" Valeria rarely said in a normal high school girl's tone, and then she looked at Colt who was a little at a loss, "Okay, I can promise you, but , if you plan to make any game plans, I'm afraid I'm not a good playmate."

"So, what do you want to do?" Colt asked, "I don't really know how to do this kind of thing."

"Is that so..." Valeria also showed a rare expression of thinking, "Why don't we go to the library to read the paper?"

"A date to read a paper?" Colt's face was a little weird, "From the perspective of a normal person, taking a girl to the library to read a paper on a date would probably be embarrassing?"

"Indeed." Valeria nodded approvingly, "But this is the girl who chooses to read the thesis."

"That's even more strange..."

"Makes sense..."

……

Inside the Avengers Building.

A thin, middle-aged man with a tired face pushed open the door and walked into the hall.

"Dr. Banner, welcome back." The melodious but emotionless mechanical voice prompted.

"Ah, Banner, are you back?" Zhao happened to come down the stairs and saw the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Yeah." Banner's complexion was very bad. He walked to the sofa, lay down directly, and covered his eyes with his hands.

"You seem to be in a bad mood?" After confirming that the other party had no intention of sleeping, Zhao asked, "The tracking is not going well?"

"It's not going well." Banner put down his hand, and then supported himself to sit up. "The big boss couldn't be tracked down."

"Well, you really should come back and take a good rest." Zhao looked at the tired-faced Banner, "I will go to Nevada in a short while to continue the investigation, and we will definitely find the young man who was kidnapped."

"No need." Banner fell on the sofa with a painful face.

"No need?" Zhao seemed to realize something, and he started to panic.

"He's dead." Banner tried hard to hide his sadness and pain, "I failed to find him before the big boss killed him, and now the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are reporting to his parents."

　Sorry for the lateness, the plot connection is a bit stuck, I can't write a satisfactory transition, so let's do it...
