A Little Thing in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 40 Clubs, Foundations and Invitations

Regarding Yaka metal, Fitz and Simmons are leading a small team to intensify research.Regarding Hydra's follow-up plans, SHIELD's expert team is also doing its best to investigate.As for Chief Baker and Mrs. Gucci, well, no one paid any attention to them.Compared with Hydra, these are just two earthworms, and it is impossible to attract SHIELD's attention.Just leave it to the DA.

Things in Miami are temporarily over, but there are still a few days left for Peter and Belle's vacation.They were not in a hurry to return to Washington, but returned to New York, which they had not seen for a long time.Peter couldn't wait to go back to see his dear May, and agreed to have dinner with Belle tomorrow night.Belle returns to Avengers Tower as her phone is filled with whiny texts from Vanessa.

But when she arrived at Avengers Tower, the scene she saw was very different from what she had imagined.

In the boxing ring, Natasha Romanoff singled out Sharon Carter and Vanessa Carlisle. Pepper Potts stood aside, in front of the audience with great interest, and happily talked to Belle when she saw him coming over. She said hello.

"What's the situation?"

"It's a gathering of girlfriends." Pepper said, "During your absence, we will get together whenever we have nothing to do."

Belle looked at Vanessa who was screaming in the boxing ring after being beaten, Sharon who was clearly paddling, and Natasha who was not exerting her full strength at all and was playing with Vanessa as if she were playing with a child, as well as those on the side Pepper, who was watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, suspected that she didn't understand what she just said, so she asked again: "What's going on?"

Pepper reluctantly explained: "Vanessa said she wanted to learn how to do both, that's all."

"Well, at least she found the right person to teach her," Belle said before seeing Vanessa being kicked down mercilessly.

That night, five people found a place to have a drink together.

When it comes to having a drink, among the five people, Vanessa undoubtedly has the highest say.After all, she is the one who loves drinking the most and visits pubs the most. What’s more, she once had some jobs in a club in Boston that are hard to explain. In short, she is very fond of places like bars. Very knowledgeable.

However, the final decision-making power rests with Pepper, because she is the financial backer among these five people, and her economic status determines her political status.With her status, she definitely couldn't just find a messy nightclub, otherwise she would be discovered by someone who was interested and start a conspiracy theory, and the stock price of Stark Group might be affected.What she values ​​most is privacy and security.So the place she picked was the one she often went to.

When they arrived at the place, Belle discovered that she seemed to have just become the largest shareholder of this club yesterday.Belle's comment on this matter was, "It's really not a surprise."

But when Pepper walked in through the door, she realized that this place seemed to have a very close connection with the Stark Group.There are only a few places in the United States where the CEO of Stark Group is willing to show off his face.

When the wine was on the table, the waiter exited the door, and the few people who had been pretending to be sitting upright were instantly discouraged and collapsed on the sofa.

Pepper was the first to speak: "I slept for about ten hours last week, and I was in meetings every day. I was exhausted."

Sharon continued: "SHIELD has been cleaning up Hydra's mess all over the world recently. The troubles in New York are endless. The last time you broke into the Hydra building, it wasn't until the day before yesterday that we people have to withdraw completely.”

Belle said: "I finally took a few days off, and I also encountered Hydra colluding with the smuggling group. I even had a local umbrella, and my good vacation was ruined."

Natasha said very lightly, "I went to Chechnya."

Several people looked at her for a few seconds, and they all thought that they couldn't talk nonsense about her, so they didn't ask. In the end, everyone focused on Vanessa.

"I watched the entire series of "Smallville" twice." Vanessa said without embarrassment, but she found that the other four people were looking at her with chihuahua expressions on their faces, and then added: "Otherwise I can What should I do? All of you are like supermen, but I can’t do anything. Should I go back to my old job?"

Natasha said helplessly: "I don't know where the real Superman is now."

Apparently she was talking about the Hulk's disappearance.This sentence also smoothly changed the topic from complaining about the bad daily life to complaining about how the other half makes the already very bad daily life even worse.

"You will always find him, Tony and the others are trying to find a way." Pepper comforted her, "But after you find him, you will still feel annoyed. Dr. Banner and Tony are both the same, except for tinkering with dangerous inventions. , I don’t take you to heart at all. I go around causing trouble all day long, and I never come back without any injuries on my body.”

"I've long been used to this. Wade is covered in scars anyway, and you won't be able to see them if he adds [-] more scars." Vanessa said, "But Captain America is often injured, so why doesn't that face have any scars at all?" no?"

Sharon said: "Maybe it's because his shield is easier to use, right?"

"How is that possible? Tony's whole body is wrapped in an iron shell. Doesn't he often come back with bruises and a swollen face?" Pepper said, and it was hard to tell whether he was worried or complaining.

A few people chatted for a while, and suddenly realized that Belle was not involved in the discussion at all.

Compared with their god-like boyfriends, these girls are absolute scumbags. Even though Black Widow is the strongest agent in the history of S.H.I.E.L.D., with Dr. Banner’s most powerful brain and the Hulk’s inverse power, Compared with the natural combat power, it is really not on the table.

And Belle is stronger than Peter, much stronger.

"Why are you looking at me?" Belle said innocently, "I'm still single."

"I propose that we give poor Peter a drink," said Pepper.

Others raised their glasses in agreement and looked at the indifferent Belle reproachfully as if they were standing on the moral high ground.

"Okay, okay, here's to poor Peter." Belle picked up the wine glass helplessly and said, "I said, instead of thinking about poor Peter, why not think about how to help Vanessa get rid of her troubles? Should we just let her Like now, are you going to be tortured by Natasha for nothing?"

"I didn't abuse her. This is far from the intensity of SHIELD training." Natasha said, seemingly unconcerned.In her eyes, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s training was far worse than her days in the Red Room of the former Soviet Union.

"I mean, I have an idea that can quickly increase Vanessa's combat effectiveness, but," Belle changed the topic and looked at Pepper, "it depends on whether Tony is willing to pay more to win over a madman. Big price."

The more he drank, the more he talked, and the situation became more and more out of control, gradually developing in some indescribable direction.Since it cannot be described, I won’t say more.

Despite drinking a lot, Belle was still very clear-headed and sharp when she went home that night. She even drafted a report before going to bed, trying to explain to SHIELD and the Avengers how to improve Vanessa's self-esteem. The ability to fight and protect is of great significance to this team.

……

the next day.

Agent Dan came to the door early in the morning, bringing with him a large document and a small envelope.

"What the hell is the Captain's Foundation?"

Belle hadn't woken up yet, so she just glanced at the cover of the large document.Anyway, she doesn't have to look at it herself, her agent and lawyer will do it for her, otherwise why would these people get so much money.

"An organization dedicated to helping disabled people funds scientific research institutions that use technology to help disabled people return to normal lives. This is probably the case."

"What does that have to do with the captain? Why such a strange name?"

"It is to commemorate the only disabled president in history, Franklin Roosevelt. Back then, the poet Whitman wrote a poem in praise of President Lincoln called "Captain, My Captain." Since then, the captain has become became synonymous with the president." Dan explained very patiently.

"This tribute is really subtle enough." Belle said and curled her lips, "Can't you change your name?"

"You sent me an email last night saying that you wanted to change the name of the club to Desperate Housewives. I didn't complain yet. Now you want to change the name again? Do you know how many formalities this involves?"

Belle said, "Okay, okay, I just think it sounds weird for an entertainment venue to be called 'Tiger! Tiger!'"

Dan asked in confusion: "If you change it to Desperate Housewives, wouldn't it be more pleasing to the ears?"

"Don't you think it sounds very down-to-earth? I'm also planning to create a group called this name. It will definitely not be weaker than the Avengers."

Having worked with Belle for many years, Dan knew very well that he couldn't chat with her. This young lady's brain circuit was a bit weird, so just listen to her ideas and there was no need to seriously discuss them with her.

"You can put the foundation and club matters aside for now, but you have to pay careful attention to what's in this envelope."

Looking at the gilded words "its show ti" on the envelope, she already knew that it was an invitation from Victoria's Secret.

"I'm just going to watch it live. You're not signing a contract with me, so why should you pay any attention to it?" Belle threw the envelope aside casually, "Continue to talk about the foundation."

"You've only been fishing for three days and showing off online, and you still expect Victoria's Secret to sign a contract with you?" Dan scolded her with great dissatisfaction, "Do you still remember the last time you worked? Four Months ago! Four months ago! When I saw Edward two days ago, he asked me if you were planning to quit modeling after you met a rich man next to the First Lady. Let me tell you, You can't just think that you've inherited a few shares just because you were lucky. When your popularity is high, you should consolidate it. This event is the best opportunity! Half of the fashion industry has There are many big guys here, and Tony Stark has also confirmed that he will go. God knows how difficult it was for me to get you an invitation to his birthday party last time..."

Dan is good at everything, but he is too talkative. Once he gets into the mood, he can't stop for hours. He can dig up old sesame seeds and rotten millet from many years ago and tear them apart again.But she had no other choice. If she told him, she could chat and laugh with Iron Man at any time now. She drank with the CEO of Stark Industries until midnight last night. Just because of this small share of equity and the invitation from Victoria's Secret, her one He has already stepped into the annexation of the New York underworld, and has become the number one target of the world-class terrorist organization Hydra. This poor man will be frightened to death.

An hour later, Dan, who was thirsty and tongue-tied, finally stopped. Belle handed him a glass of water very considerately and gave him a big hug.

"Okay, okay, dear Dan, I will definitely behave well then. By the way, could you please contact the person who sent you the invitation letter again and tell me that I still want one, for Peter Parker."

Dan pushed her away angrily.

"Are you trying to show off your attitude? Who is this boy named Peter?"
