Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 37 A Bad Day

Library door.

Valeria took out her mobile phone and checked the time, almost half an hour had passed since the agreed time.

After thinking about it, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed the other party's number, but there was no response.

Looking at the people coming and going around her, she couldn't restrain a wave of resentment in her heart.

……

"Eh? You came back so early?" Hearing the voice, Franklin, who was sitting in the living room playing a game with Johnny, asked without looking back, "Be careful, Uncle Johnny, you're heating up!"

"Oh." Johnny replied a few words, but he was still staring at the TV screen and frantically pressing the handle, while sparks appeared faintly above his head.

After glancing at the two of them indifferently, Valeria snorted coldly, turned and walked into her room, then locked the door behind her.

"What's going on?" After Valeria entered the room, the two people in the living room immediately threw away the handle and looked at each other.

"Dumped?" Johnny the Human Torch spoke first, "But with her personality exactly like Reed, isn't it surprising?"

"Don't say a few words, I'm really going to annoy Xiaowa, believe it or not, she will throw Freon bombs on your bed when you fall asleep." Franklin glanced at his uncle, and then looked at the closed door with doubts. door.

Hearing the freon bomb, Johnny's face twitched slightly: "Then why don't you go see your sister?"

"As an uncle, why don't you go?" Franklin said, but disappeared in an instant.

"Get out!" Valeria, who was lying on the table, said directly without looking up.

"Uh, Xiaowa, are you okay?" Franklin thought to himself that if he asked such a question, he didn't ask.

Valeria raised her head and looked at her brother indifferently.

"Well, I didn't cry or have red eyes..." Franklin thought to himself, but seeing his sister's expression, he felt an extremely strong sense of crisis.

"What can I do?" Valeria said calmly.

"So, what happened to the date?" Franklin carefully considered his tone.

"It's just an academic exchange of reading papers together, how do you think of dating?" Valeria asked in an extremely rational tone.

"So, he didn't show up?" Franklin guessed cautiously.

"Yeah, probably reading papers with a boring person like me is far less interesting than other things." Valeria smiled, "Okay, if you have nothing else, I have a lot of plans today Things to do."

"Xiaowa, do you think he will humiliate you by not showing up on purpose? It's unlikely, right? Why don't you call and ask?"

"Do you think I'm a fool? Of course I called, and you don't know him, how do you know he won't do that? Maybe you just want to humiliate a woman who only knows about academic research?" Vale Leah said indifferently.

"This..." Franklin muttered in a low voice, "It shouldn't be..."

Then he hesitated and said, "Could it be that something urgent happened to him and he didn't show up? Would you like to ask?"

"So, do you mean that I should go directly to his house and ask him why he broke the appointment?" Valeria showed a funny expression, "Is this kind of thing important? Anyway, everyone has their own business, so it's better to be busy with your own business." That's all right."

"That's not what it means." Franklin seemed to have made up his mind, "I mean, if one day I, Dad, or Uncle Johnny made an appointment with you, and then we missed the appointment and couldn't get in touch, you What would you think?"

"Then I'm probably wondering why you guys got into trouble again and asked me to come to the rescue." Valeria replied disdainfully, "You think too much, do you think his life can be the same as that of the Fantastic Four? How complicated can an ordinary high school student face? Do you still want to tell me that he was kidnapped by some super villain so he can't come to meet me?"

"This..." Franklin was stunned, and he said unconfidently, "Maybe he was really kidnapped? Maybe Uncle Doom saw that you were unhappy dating him and locked him up in Latvinia? "

"Have you read too many princess fairy tales?" Valeria looked at Franklin with an idiotic look. "And you talk a lot today, and you are very tendentious. Did you predict something?"

"No, no." Franklin shook his head repeatedly, "I haven't had much dream recently, how could I predict anything, I just think this kind of breaking an appointment is really abnormal."

"You really don't see any future?" Valeria looked at her brother with extreme distrust.

"I absolutely did not foresee anything, I swear!" Franklin vowed.

Valeria was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Do you really think he has encountered any danger, so he broke the appointment?"

"In other words, I should be the one who asks the question and you give me the answer." Franklin spread his hands and looked at his sister, "Also, don't you always like to get to the bottom of things? The mysterious disappearance of a date is a mystery no matter how you look at it Bar?"

Valeria sighed, then grabbed her coat and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Franklin hurriedly followed up and asked.

"I'll verify your guess!" Valeria said in a bad tone, "Let's see if your guess is right this time."

"Wait, I'll go with you!" Franklin quickly chased after him, "Do you want to teleport?"

……

"Unfamiliar ceiling..." For some reason, when Colt opened his eyes, he remembered this sentence inexplicably.

"Headache..." He clutched his temple.

"Wait." He suddenly woke up, he was supposed to go on a date, and then he seemed to be caught by someone on the way to the date, and then passed out.

"Is it Dum or AIM's revenge?" He looked around in a panic.

This is a clean and tidy but extremely simple room.

There is only one bed, one table and one chair in the room.

Colt stood up slowly, careful not to make any noise.

"This is the toilet..." There was a small door on one side of the room, and when you walked in, there was a simple toilet and shower room.

"The equipment is very complete. From this point of view, no matter who kidnapped me, they don't want my life for the time being." Colt thought to himself, thinking quickly about the reason for his kidnapping, "So what are they doing for?" ? My family is definitely not a wealthy family, and the reason for money is definitely wrong, so, is it for revenge for my previous assistance, or to blackmail the avengers?"

"In this way, the person who kidnapped me before doesn't seem to be an ordinary person." Recalling the concrete body he saw before he fell into a coma, Colt became more and more convinced that the reason for his kidnapping was not purely for money.
