The Great Winter Soldier

Time: half a month later.

Location: Queens, New York.

Click, after the hotel room door was opened, Xia Tian quickly walked through the living room and came to the bedroom door with a dusty appearance.

"dong dong dong"

Xia Tian knocked on the door in front of him gently, holding a large box of pizza in his hand. After waiting for a long time, he could not get any response from the bedroom.

Xia Tian sighed helplessly and said: "Nicole, you don't need to punish yourself like this. It's been two weeks. You really want to live with Venom for the rest of your life."

However, Xia Tian's waiting still didn't get any response. In desperation, Xia Tian put one hand on the door handle, closed his eyes, and his abilities slowly came out. After a soft sound, the locked bedroom door opened. .

In the bright sunshine, what should have been a warm atmosphere was completely shattered by Nicole's gloomy eyes. At this time, Nicole was sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, playing with the Bullseye Army Spur in her hand, staring intently. There was a small exhibition box made of thick bulletproof glass. There was a ball of dark venom inside. Under Nicole's gaze, it clung to the outermost corner of the box and shrank into a ball.

During this period of time, Xia Tian carefully selected a new residence for Venom. The aluminum alloy suitcase that he had improvised had been abandoned. Obviously, Venom was not very satisfied with his new residence.

Even though it was as close to the outer corner as possible, it was not far away from Nicole. After all, the box was not very big, but maybe in Venom's mind, it would be good to be as far away from this dangerous woman as possible, even if it was just one centimeter more.

Xia Tian walked forward, knelt down gently in front of Nicole, placed a large box of pizza on the box, and said: "If you really plan to look at it like this for the rest of your life, then this guy's fate is quite miserable. You know you Can live for a long, long time.”

Nicole, whose vision was blocked by the pizza box, finally made a move, raised her eyes slightly, and clenched the military spur in her hand: "I can't forgive myself for my original thoughts, Xia Tian, ​​give me some more time, I need to deeply understand Remember this lesson, I need to reflect, give me some time, is this difficult for you?"

"You want to quarrel with me as soon as you speak." Xia Tian leaned forward and gently smoothed Nicole's messy long hair. His fingers brushed through the hair on the woman's forehead, revealing her gloomy face. , if it were not for her strong body self-healing ability, perhaps her condition could be described as "haggard". Unfortunately, no matter how low her mood is, sitting here without leaving the house all day and night, her appearance is still So glamorous, Xia Tian could only speculate on her physical and mental state as much as possible.

Such gentle movements made Nicole's sharp eyes slowly soften. She lowered her head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to do this to you. I've been immersed in that emotion."

"It's good that you know. It's been two full weeks, Nicole, and it will be dangerous to continue like this. I'm also reflecting on my mistakes and trying not to force you to do something like that, but that doesn't mean I will Indulge your life." Xia Tian scratched his head in frustration. Changing his behavior was indeed a sad thing, and it was very difficult to grasp the scale.

"Hell, don't you really realize that I wanted to do something bad to you? I even wanted to think about it." At this point, Nicole couldn't talk anymore, and she stabbed the general into the pizza box to vent her anger. Regarding her own emotions, she covered her face with one hand and lowered her forehead. The look of self-blame and guilt made Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Xia Tian smashed his mouth, tore open the pizza box casually, inserted a piece of pizza into his mouth with a bullseye spear, and the fragrant and delicious taste filled his taste buds: "Do you think you can go back to Hell's Kitchen and let Darwin cook a big meal?" It won’t make you feel better.”

Nicole's hunched long legs fell to the ground casually, her head still lowered, and she didn't seem to be interested in joking.

"I said, why do I feel that it is too small again?" Xia Tian moved the pizza box and saw the venom huddled up inside. After hearing Xia Tian's words, the venom actually climbed up hard and stuck to the upper side of the glass box, as if Wanting summer to save its life. If Venom were replaced by kittens and puppies, they would probably look very pitiful.

Unfortunately, Venom is not cute at all, so his favorability is greatly reduced.

"Sorry." Nicole lowered her head, her mood was unusually low, her voice was very soft, and she seemed to feel a little frustrated by what she had done.

"If I try to be good

If you think about it, its arrival has greatly enhanced your control over the laser beam." Xia Tian looked around and found no trace of the room being blasted by the laser beam. He then moved his body and came to Nicole. Next to him, he also sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, and hugged Nicole hard with both hands.

"Uh." Nicole resisted slightly, and finally knelt on both sides of Xia Tian's thighs and sat on Xia Tian's body.

"My hair is disheveled like a madman." Xia Tian whispered, while taking care of her long hair, she said seriously, "I can't let you continue to reflect like this. I try my best to meet your requirements, but you It shows me an increasingly decadent look, Nicole, this is not something that should happen to you."

"There are a lot of things that shouldn't happen to me." Nicole looked at the double "D" pendant around Xia Tian's neck with distracted eyes, raising the corners of her mouth slightly and smiling reluctantly.

"You are a strong girl, and you have a perseverance that is different from ordinary people. The last incident can turn you into this. I have understood how important I am in your heart, and your performance has shown a lot of things. , you no longer need to reflect and blame yourself, such memories and lessons have been deeply imprinted in our minds." Xia Tian brushed away the woman's long hair that covered the side of her face, looked directly at Nicole, and said seriously, " I was serious."

"If one day, I really want to go against you, what will you do at that time?" Nicole also looked at Xia Tian for the first time in a real sense after Xia Tian entered the room, and said, "You have to find someone to resist me. The method, I don’t even know how to stop myself, how to end my own life, Xia Tian, ​​I am a huge threat next to you."

"So you have been thinking about how to commit suicide for a while. I'm sorry, ma'am." Xia Tian's cold metal hand was placed on Nicole's forehead, as if he was measuring whether she had a fever, or he was trying to cool her down with the metal hand. Cooling down, "So I worked hard to transform you into a mutant, worked hard to increase your mutant abilities, and devoted all my teaching and training to you, all just to make you figure out how to commit suicide."

Nicole bit her lip and avoided Xia Tian's eyes, not daring to respond.

"Go, take a shower and change into clean clothes for 30 minutes." Xia Tian spanked Nicole's butt hard, and finally made Nicole walk out of the bedroom with words that were half a joke and half a command, "I need that A heroic female warrior doesn’t want a self-pitying madwoman.”

It is impossible to say that Xia Tian is not moved in her heart, but at this time Xia Tian feels more tired. Seeing Nicole's figure about to walk out of the door, Xia Tian continued: "Nicole, this is just our long journey." It’s just an episode in life, a small setback. These interesting memories are our future wealth. More than ten years later, or even decades later, when we travel through various worlds, we see I have met all kinds of people and experienced all kinds of stories. When we become successful and famous, I don’t mind if you recall the little episodes that happened now.”

"But before that, cheer me up. I have a lot of goals to achieve. I need your help. I really need it." Xia Tian said word by word, "For example, now, during the two weeks when you have nothing to do, I found that our coming to this world was not a wise choice. I already planned to leave here and return to Hell's Kitchen. And you have no idea what happened during this time except letting Venom tremble under the gaze of your eyes. , Nicole, wake up and put aside those boring thoughts in your mind, I don’t have time to waste here, I’m going home.”

"Are you going back to find Darwin?" Nicole asked a little apologetically, suddenly realizing that as a member of the team, she really didn't know what had happened to the team during this time.

"No, my home, my Hell's Kitchen." Xia Tian said, leaning against the wall.

"Ah" Nicole was stunned for a moment. Xia Tian's real home is a big deal. There is Xia Tian's ultimate goal in life, there is Xia Tian's lifelong enemy Hydra, and there is also the hometown of Hell's Kitchen that is closely connected to Xia Tian.

Feeling Nicole's searching eyes, Xia Tian shrugged his shoulders and said: "Are you going to continue playing with venom here, or are you going to go home with me?"

"I'll go with you." Nicole hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily.

Upon hearing this, Venom jumped up happily and slapped the lid of the glass box with a loud sound.

"You also come with us." Xia Tian glanced at Venom, picked up a piece of pizza and threw it into his mouth.

If venom had eyes, he would probably cry. To be continued.
