[Comprehensive British and American] Super Mario

night.

The moonlight shone in through the undrawn curtains of Mary's house, casting a faint silver brilliance on the table under the window.On the big bed next to the table, Steven woke up from a deep sleep, turned his head and glanced at Mary who was sleeping in his arms, stroked her hair gently, and turned his head to look at the ceiling. After a long time, he slightly Squinting, although there is only a smear of moonlight by the window in the room, it is enough for him to vaguely see what pattern it is.

Mary trembled slightly, as if she was falling into some kind of dream, and she said vaguely: "No..."

Steven immediately turned his head and looked at her.

Mary seemed to be trying to shout something, and after humming a few times, she called out, "No..."

"Mary!" Steven sat up, turned on a small lamp beside her bed, turned his head, reached out and patted her cheek gently, "Hey, Mary! Wake up!"

Mary opened her eyes suddenly, her heart beating wildly, and she looked at him blankly.

Steven stroked her cheek, looked down at her, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Mary sat up suddenly and hugged him without saying a word.

Steven froze for a moment, hugged her subconsciously, and asked in a low voice, "Did you have a nightmare just now?"

Mary nodded, and hugged his neck tightly. After a long while, she felt her heart slowly return to normal beating, and said in a low voice, "Did I just shout out?"

"Yes, you are yelling no." Steven gently stroked her smooth back like a kitten, kissed her cheek sideways, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream .”

Mary let go slightly, raised her head and looked at him, with a remnant look of shock on her face, and said, "Do you know what I dreamed about?"

"What?" Steven asked.

"I dreamed..." With a gloomy look in Mary's eyes, she suddenly lowered her voice, and said softly, "I dreamed of Julie. She was tied up under a roof, and a man was holding a gun in his hand. long knife, he will kill her."

"That's not true, we will find Julie." Steven reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb, and said with certainty, "We will definitely find her."

Mary nodded, buried her head in the socket of his shoulder, and murmured: "I was terrified just now!"

"I know!" Steven kissed her hair, pulled up the quilt to cover her, hugged her with the quilt in his arms, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, leaned on the soft cushion at the head of the bed, and said, " Go on to sleep!"

Mary sighed, shook her head and said, "I can't sleep."

Steven smiled, stroked her hair, and asked, "Is that dream really that scary?"

"No, that dream isn't really scary when I think about it now." Mary whispered, "I was just worried that it might become a reality."

Hearing this, Steven touched her hand for a while, thought for a while, and whispered in her ear: "Since you can't sleep, why don't we..."

When he spoke, the hot air sprayed into Mary's ears, causing half of her face to go numb. She shrank her head and pursed her mouth to complain, "No! If I knew, that bloody serum can make you feel better in this way. Just like Superman, I will never say continue!" She stretched out her hand to push him, blushing and said: "Besides, I'm still in pain!"

Steven couldn't help laughing, hugged Mary who was about to escape from his arms, and said innocently: "Well, I'm just inexperienced." He lowered his head against her forehead and said cautiously: "I promise , I'll be lighter next time!"

Mary squinted at him and snorted, "Then let's talk about it next time! Not now!"

Steven nodded obediently and said, "Okay!"

Seeing his expression of "you see, I'm very obedient and obedient", Mary couldn't help laughing. After laughing, she sighed softly and said, "Steven."

Steven raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at her, and asked, "What?"

Mary smiled, adjusted in his arms, hugged his thin waist, and comfortably half-lyed on him, and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to call your name."

Steven stared at her for a long time, bowed his head and kissed her forehead, and said, "Mary."

"Huh?" Mary replied lazily.

"It's okay, I just suddenly wanted to call your name!" Steven said solemnly.

Mary snorted and said, "Hey! Steven Rogers, don't imitate me!"

"Okay!" Steven nodded with a smile.

After laughing for a while, the two slowly calmed down and hugged each other quietly on the bed.After a long time, Steven raised his eyes, looked at the huge hexagram pattern on the ceiling, and said, "Mary."

Mary moved slightly and hummed.

"Does the pattern on it, as well as the salt under the door and window, have any meaning?" Steven pointed to the ceiling and asked thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Mary looked up at the ceiling in his arms, and said, "Oh, this is a large amulet, and those salt lines are to prevent ghosts from entering."

Steven nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "So that's it, so you're not just a reporter, right?"

Mary nodded and said, "Yes, strictly speaking, my main job is a hunter, and my side job is a reporter."

"Hunter?" Steven asked suspiciously, "Should this hunter be different from the hunter I know?"

Mary smiled and said: "Yes, of course not." She thought for a while and said: "In this world, besides superheroes like you, there are many monsters and ghosts, such as the legendary vampires, werewolves, etc. , are actually real, some have mixed into human beings and lived peacefully with us, and some will attack humans, so someone needs to remove those monsters that harm humans.”

Steven looked down at Mary, smiled, and said, "I see, no wonder you had the guts to shoot Bucky that night at the holiday house!"

"Hey! I'm helping you, okay?" Mary looked up at him, and suddenly said dejectedly, "Well, I didn't actually get shot a few times!"

Steven stroked her shoulders that were slightly exposed outside the quilt, and said, "However, I'm curious, how did you become a hunter?"

Mary didn't answer immediately after hearing the words, she was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "My father, I mean my biological father, used to be a hunter."

"So, you also became a hunter." Steven said.

Mary shook her head, sighed, and said, "No, I didn't intend to become a hunter like him. I just wanted to find Julie."

Steven asked inexplicably, "Julie? You suspect that Julie's disappearance is related to a monster?"

Mary was silent.

"Mary?" Steven didn't get a response from her. He looked down, but saw her lowered eyes, her expression obscured by the light of the bed lamp. Looking at her, he felt a slight pain in his heart. Girl, doesn't she know how dangerous it is to be a hunter?She is different from Natasha, she has not even received formal training, so she became a hunter. "Mary."

Mary smiled and said: "Unfortunately, even though I became a hunter and killed many harmful monsters, I still couldn't find Julie. Although Andrew and I found clues later, but..." She turned head into his arms

Steven felt her tears, sighed, and stroked her back silently.

Mary lowered her head and wiped her tears, and said in a low voice, "I don't usually cry that much." She unconsciously drew circles on his chest with her fingers, and murmured, "Julie was the crybaby since I was a child, I'm not, I'm Sister, I can't cry."

Steven said nothing, just looked down at her quietly.

"Perhaps, because I've been too tired recently, I can't control myself." Mary smiled self-deprecatingly.

Steven raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "In my opinion, you are not tired enough, it's my fault!"

Mary was taken aback, but immediately understood, she looked at him dumbfounded, and said, "Do you have to comfort me like this?"

Steven looked at her very sincerely, nodded, showing a seductive smile, and asked, "We..."

Mary jumped up from him suddenly and said, "No!" As soon as the words fell, the quilt slipped off her body, and her exquisite figure was completely presented in front of Steven in an instant.

Steven's Adam's apple rolled up and down, grabbed her arm without hesitation, pulled her towards him, quickly turned over and pressed her under him, deliberately showing an evil smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave you too tired to think about anything else!"
