A Little Thing in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 23 Mr. Minister of Energy

"Are you kidding? SHIELD has specially arranged people to protect my safety?"

Looking at the blonde beauty who came to New York's Avengers Tower with Happy Hogan to pick her and Pepper up at the airport, Belle felt that there must be a conspiracy.

"It can also be regarded as to ensure that in most cases, you don't have to use your own abilities, thereby ensuring the safety of others." The blonde beauty said with a smile and stretched out her hand, "Hello, I am Sharon Carter. "

With a smile on her face, Belle shook hands with Sharon, convinced that this was SHIELD helping Captain America find a girlfriend.It's just that the black technology pearl necklace Tony gave her was already on her neck, so she couldn't get any interesting news from this handshake.

Tony made no secret of the fact that he had drawn a tube of Belle's blood, and it was true that he had not been able to get any results from that little blood.But through information provided by Doctor Strange, he hypothesized that the technology developed for Vision's forehead gem and Wanda Maximoff's psychic abilities would be equally effective on Belle.It turns out that Iron Man, who represents Marvel's most advanced productivity, guessed right again.

"Your Tony is really great," Belle whispered to Pepper.

As the four of them drove to the airport, through chatting with Sharon, Belle got a rough idea of ​​SHIELD's attitude toward her.After all, in the previous actions against the McConville family, she openly exposed her ability to secretly infiltrate and manipulate minds in front of the Avengers and SHIELD. If SHIELD puts her on the first-level watch list, then in the future Life is not going to be easy.

However, relying on Captain America and Iron Man as guarantees, Belle is currently living in Avengers Tower, and the great Tony has developed key props for Belle's abilities. In addition, SHIELD is really short of manpower, so at present, SHIELD didn't take the French girl too seriously.

This was good news, allowing her to get along with this S.H.I.E.L.D. agent without any worries.After relaxing, she began to imagine what the American spiritual icon's inner world would be like after two generations of Agent Carter fell in love with Captain America.

She was also a little regretful that Vanessa couldn't come along, otherwise the car would have had the official girlfriends of three big-name Marvel characters, Iron Man, Captain America and Deadpool.Their men got together and formed a group called the Avengers. So these girls who have to worry about the heroes saving the world from time to time might as well be called Desperate Housewives.

When a group of them arrived at the airport, Tony, Captain Rogers and Peter were already waiting for them on the private plane.

It has to be said that this group of people are all good at assisting, and everyone has a tacit understanding to fill up the seats in the rear of the cabin, leaving enough private space for the two separate seats in the front row.Steve Rogers and Sharon Carter sat there after a look that even Peter could tell was flirtatious.

Not long after takeoff, a strange silence fell on the plane.

“How about we play a game of Periodic Table Solitaire?” Peter suggested. “I name an element, and then the next person has to name a new element whose first letter is the last letter of the element I named. Letters, how about it?”

Tony, Pepper and Happy all looked at him with a look that looked like he was mentally retarded. What they were probably thinking in their minds was "Is this kid beaten into a fool by Captain America during training?"

"The design of this game is not very reasonable," Belle thought for a moment, and then said, "Of the 110 eight elements confirmed so far, 83 elements end with ', but only seven begin with '. Someone mentioned the element that ends with it first, which can ensure absolute victory after seven rounds. Wouldn't it be better to change the name to the discoverer of the element?"

"That's right," Peter slapped his forehead, "What a great idea, you should start first."

"dacurie." Belle said without thinking. (Marie Curie, discovered polonium and radium)

"Ah, e, the simplest is the most difficult." Peter frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The first thing I thought of was eugene-antole dercay, but this is too boring, because there is no discoverer who begins with y. , so to take care of your emotions, I would say edwinllian." (The former discovered europium and the latter discovered neptunium)

The two of them started playing happily.

Within a few seconds, Happy was the first to look no further and pretended to go to the bathroom.Pepper quietly suggested that Tony sit somewhere else, thankful that Tony wasn't a nerd.

"Remember to remind me to introduce these two weirdos to Fitz and Simmons from SHIELD," Tony said, "otherwise it's really easy for people like them to have no friends."

New York is not far from Washington. It only takes 10 minutes to fly by commercial airliner, and Tony's private jet is not even used for an hour.However, this little time seems like a century to Happy.

Captain America and Agent Carter have been chatting awkwardly, exchanging the development and evolution of American society from World War II to the present.Pepper unilaterally lectured Tony carefully and patiently, asking him to restrain his asshole aura and stop doing anything outrageous in Washington.What's rare is that sharp-tongued Tony is completely unable to refute, and Pepper can shut him up with just one look.In less than 5 minutes, Peter and Belle got tired of playing Chemical Element Finder Solitaire (which is no fun in the first place) and then continued playing Blackjack using seven cards, combining English, French and Spanish. Chinese Scrabble and more.

Happy was the only one who had been hiding on his phone and scrolling through Twitter, retweeting more than a dozen tweets with the central idea of ​​"being kind to singles."At the same time, he completely ignored the fact that only Tony and Pepper were in a real relationship on the entire plane, and everyone else, including the pilot, was single.

Anyway, the moment the cabin door opened, Happy rushed out of the plane impatiently. As a result, he bumped into Energy Secretary Louis Williams who came to greet them. Although the latter was considered to be in good health, he had a weak body. Pi's weight was considerable, and he was quite fast at the time, so he knocked Minister Williams away.

"Minister Williams!"

Happy was shocked and hurriedly helped poor Williams up.

Williams is young and strong, so this is really nothing to him.In addition, as the Minister of Energy, he has very close contacts with the Stark Group, which holds the Ark Reactor technology, and he is also an acquaintance with Happy, so he didn't care and just said mockingly: "Look at your momentum just now. , I thought it was Hulk coming, it scared me to death."

After Happy, the rest of the people got off the plane one after another. After hearing about the accident just now, Tony threatened to fire him for the 2333rd time.

"Oh, that's not okay, Tony," Williams excused Happy, "other than him, do you expect to find another person so reliable who can tolerate a bastard like you?"

Tony Stark is definitely not someone who doesn't talk back after being criticized.

"Seeing as you were sent to pick me up at the airport, it seems like you're not doing well in front of the president," Tony said, hugging Williams. "If the president fires you one day, come here Come be my driver. How much is your salary now? I will give you double the salary then."

After some pleasantries with Tony, Williams put away his playful look, straightened his clothes, came to Captain America, and shook his hand vigorously.

"It's an honor to meet you, Captain, you have always been my idol."

Captain America has heard this sentence countless times, but every time he responds very seriously and responds with a sincere smile.

Then, Williams hugged Pepper again and whispered in her ear: "Do me a favor and don't let Tony talk nonsense in front of the president at the dance, please."

The remaining few were not familiar faces, so Pepper took the initiative to introduce them.

"Sharon Carter, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., responsible for keeping us safe."

Williams shook her hand, then smiled and said: "Protecting the safety of Iron Man and Captain America? This is a good job, just like the commander of the Mongolian Navy."

"These two are Peter Parker and Belle de Tefler-Peak, outstanding talents selected by the Stark Group's youth talent training program."

Peter politely extended his hand, and Williams gave him a warm hug.

"Peter, I met you when you were a baby. Your parents are both my friends. You are so outstanding now, and you have lived up to them."

Peter was stunned for a while and even forgot to say thank you.

Williams didn't mind and looked at Belle with very complicated eyes.

"Although you inherited your father's surname, I have to say that you look more like your mother."

This time not only Peter was stunned, but everyone was stunned.Neither SHIELD nor the Avengers could find anyone related to Belle. Apart from the two very ordinary guardians, even Belle herself didn't know that her parents had other acquaintances or friends.I didn't expect one to pop up here.

"Do you know her parents?" Tony Stark asked in surprise.

"We have a relationship similar to pen pals. I only met them once, and that was when you were just born."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Belle again.

"The communication with your parents almost changed my understanding of the world, and made me doubt the authenticity of science and knowledge. During that time, I always doubted myself and everything. Unexpectedly, this skeptical attitude helped me find a job in Washington. After all, the most questionable people in the world are the people in Congress and the White House."

Everyone said nothing, just looked at Williams quietly.

"Everyone, get in the car. I've made a reservation at the restaurant. We can talk while eating."
