A Little Thing in the Marvel Universe

The close relationship between Belle and the First Lady obviously cannot escape Captain America's eyes.He squeezed out of the crowd, walked quickly to Belle, and whispered to her: "There is nothing wrong with being friends with the first lady, but you have to promise me that this is sincere and not a trick on your part."

"Relax, Captain, if I am really crazy enough to manipulate the First Lady's thoughts, then the promise I am making to you now is definitely a trick. Now, in order to prevent reporters from setting me up to seduce senior people, I It's better to hide quietly with Peter." Belle smiled and walked away, taking two glasses of champagne by the way.

Although Belle has a nerdy soul, her years of training as a model and her natural advantages as a beauty are enough for her to cope with most social situations.It was her first time to attend such a high-level banquet, but she was not an important person. She was just an outstanding young representative from the Stark Group, so no one expected her to behave like a fish in water. She only needed to be generous and decent. .

It's no problem for her to do this.But Peter's side was a little troublesome.Like a cormorant trained by fishermen with a straw rope tied around its neck, Peter's speech and swallowing functions have been abnormal at the same time since he put on the black tie.When Belle thrust the champagne glass into his hand, his only thought was to go home.

"Usually, drinking makes a hero brave, but you don't seem to be able to get drunk." Belle teased him.

Peter raised his head and drank the champagne, sipped his lips and said, "It doesn't taste very good." He turned to look at the president again and saw the owner of the New York Yankees giving a cigarette to former captain Derek ·A baseball signed by Jeter was given to the president and his wife.

"I have to go out and get some air." He glanced at Belle.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

……

The president is indeed a New Yorker. Before becoming vice president, he was the governor of New York State.But he was not a baseball fan. In fact, he was a loyal supporter of the New York Giants and was the quarterback of the school team in high school.Despite this, he still took the bat with a smile on his face, and in front of the Yankees owner, repeatedly asked the staff to keep it well.

There are many people who want to have a word with the president, and the Yankees owner has done his best.He couldn't compete with the next one, even if he could bring Babe Ruth back to life, he couldn't stop his glory.The famous Tony Stark is being introduced to the President by Energy Secretary Louis Williams.

To be more precise, it should be to introduce the new President William Conway to Tony.After all, that's Iron Man!

"Mr. President, this is Tony Stark," Williams said, seeing the president shaking hands with Tony very excitedly. "Facing the two of you, I feel that my introduction is quite redundant."

"Yes Williams," Tony said mercilessly, "your people are quite redundant. The energy problem in the United States has been solved long ago. What else do we need the energy minister to do, right?"

Stark showed off his Ark reactor in the most arrogant way, and also showed the president that the relationship between himself and the Secretary of Energy has reached the point where they can complain about each other anytime and anywhere.

The president is also aware that he seems to have been snubbing the energy secretary recently.After all, he had just taken office, and he suddenly transitioned from the boring daily life of the vice president (attending celebrations, attending funerals, cutting the ribbon for laying the foundation for a new building, etc.) to the exciting daily life of the president (the scandal of the former president, Hydra's penetration of the top military officials, and the public's trust Crisis, Russia is pressing harder), he cannot cover everything.The energy issue that seemed less important at the moment could only be temporarily ignored by him.However, it is already July, and the arrival of hot summer weather will cause a surge in electricity consumption. Production reductions in crude oil-producing countries will also cause oil shortages and rising oil prices. These are all issues that need to be worried about, and the Minister of Energy must be involved.The President felt that now seemed like a good opportunity to get closer to Secretary Williams.

"Having a minister who can maintain close contact with the country's energy giants is the best choice to solve the U.S. energy problem." He patted Williams on the shoulder, "There were several people looking for me just now, and they were all talking to me. To sell their nuclear energy expansion plan, I told them to go to the Secretary of Energy, the only person in the United States who understood what they were talking about."

"The Secretary of Energy suggests to you that the Ark Reactor is our future." Williams said with a smile, pushing Tony towards the president again, "But today is not the time to talk about these things, Mr. President, let's go How about taking a picture?”

A group of photographers gathered around, flashes flashing wildly.The President of the United States, Tony Stark, and the Secretary of Energy appeared at the same time. Keen reporters have already felt that the stock price of Stark Industries will experience another round of rise tomorrow, and the prospects of the Ark Reactor in the United States seem to be clearer.

After dismissing the photographer, the president brought the topic back to Tony.

"I have no doubts about the Ark Reactor, but although I personally admire the Avengers very much, the overall attitude towards the Avengers in both the White House and Congress has tended to be unified. I hope that through some possible way, the Avengers can be included In a reasonable, reliable, and professional regulatory system. I believe Captain Rogers will support the decision of the United States and even the United Nations, but the attitude of Mr. Stark and Iron Man is also very important to us."

Tony was obviously prepared for this issue, but he hadn't made a decision yet, so he still planned to stall it.

"Iron Man's attitude will remain consistent with the collective decision of the Avengers." Tony said, taking a sip of wine, "We have discussed these issues with SHIELD many times, and are gradually improving our internal systems. I believe it won’t be long before we will give a clear official statement. But on such an important day today, we should celebrate it for our great country, right?”

……

The president was having a heated chat with Iron Man here, and the first lady also found Captain America on the other side, hoping that he would agree to let Belle stay in the White House temporarily, at least until the end of the president and his wife's visit to the UK next month.

"When S.H.I.E.L.D. arranged for Lisa to be replaced at first, I was not very satisfied," the first lady said. "But Belle's performance far exceeded my expectations. She has outstanding abilities and professional attitude. And, why?" She said I had a great time getting along with her."

The captain is actually a little worried. It is not a good thing for the Avengers, even those who may join the Avengers team, to get too involved in the White House, or even have direct contact with the daily life of the president and his wife.He wanted to keep the Avengers independent and self-sufficient, and he was worried that these politicians would use Belle as a tool to counter the Avengers.

The shrewd first lady seemed to see the captain's worries, so she continued: "It should be beneficial for your team to bypass SHIELD and other agencies and establish direct contact with the White House, right? What's more? , what we expect from Belle is just an excellent life assistant, she is still so young, no one can expect her to have fun with those old foxes, right?"

"Mrs. Conway, after all, she is an enhanced person, not an ordinary person. With such a person staying in the White House, once the news is leaked, it will cause widespread panic." The captain said, and couldn't help but raise his already low level. Her voice was so low that it was almost difficult for Mrs. Conway to hear clearly, "Of course, I have absolute trust in her, and maybe you trust her too, but what will happen to Mr. President and other staff in the White House?" What do you think?"

"I'm going to trust her because she helped me a lot today and she's obviously very good at keeping secrets, which happens to be what the White House does best."

"No matter what you say, I can't make such a decision alone. I have to go back and talk to SHIELD and Belle herself."

"Of course." The first lady said with a smile, knowing that the captain had basically agreed.

……

Peter and Belle were hiding outside and could barely hear the music inside.

Peter loosened his tie, undid the first button of his collar, and leaned against a railing. He finally felt a little more comfortable and had the energy to speak.

"When did you meet the First Lady? It seems like you are quite familiar with her?"

"I'm also surprised by what happened today," Belle said, "and I seem to have found a new job."

"You're not here to work for the president's wife, are you?" Peter said exaggeratedly.

"What do you think?" Belle asked.

"Don't you watch TV dramas? It's usually not good to get involved with these people. Do you know how many movies are about the kidnapping of the president every year?"

"There shouldn't be as many movies about the destruction of New York, right?"

"I didn't mean that," Peter said, his face seemed a little red, "I just suggested that you don't get too close to these people, and the captain and Mr. Stark need you more."

The conversation could not continue because Sharon ran over in a hurry, looking panicked and speaking urgently:

"Belle, we need to go back as soon as possible. Dr. Hilvig is crazy because he studied the Secretary of Energy's crappy book."

In order to deal with the media, Captain America stayed at the White House dinner. He would not be able to help much anyway.The remaining people quickly left under the leadership of Tony, and returned to the SHIELD headquarters in upstate New York through the portal opened by Belle in a warehouse belonging to the Stark Group.

Dr. Eric Hilvig has been quarantined in the laboratory.Everyone gathered in front of the window and watched the doctor, wearing only a pair of trousers, holding a book and reading the contents of the book vividly with an exaggerated voice that sounded like reciting Shakespeare's scripts, coupled with very precise expressions and movements.

The content in "Three Mysteries" is all in ancient Chinese, and Belle can only understand it roughly, but...

"Dr. Hilvig speaks Chinese so fluently," she said with emotion.

Tony glanced at Belle and felt that she seemed to have drunk too much at the party just now, and seemed not to realize how serious the problem was.

“Is now the time to praise his language skills?”

"Don't worry, I think I can cure the doctor, but don't you think it's strange? Has he learned Chinese before?"

Belle walked into the laboratory and put her hand on Dr. Hilvig's head as if treating the first lady's panic disorder. The effect was immediate. The doctor quickly calmed down and sat on the ground, sweating profusely and shaking all over. .

"Let the doctor take a rest first. After he recovers some energy, he can tell us what happened." Belle said, taking the "Three Mysteries" that must be problematic, and handed it to Tony, "Finally It’s better not to let anyone read this book again.”

After everyone had dispersed, Peter quietly walked up to Belle and asked, "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"It's okay." Belle whispered.
