[Comprehensive British and American] Super Mario

In the middle of the night, after Mary took a careless shower, she went to Steven's room to take a look. He was already asleep, and saw him curled up on his side, wrapped in a quilt. She walked up to him Gently turned off the bedside lamp by the bed, stared at him in the dark for a long time, then slowly turned around and went out, closing the room door for him.

Coming out of Steven's room, Mary saw from a distance that the door of Mark's study room was slightly open, and the light inside came through the crack in the door.She remembered that Mark has been in a state of thinking today, and I am afraid that at this moment, he is looking up relevant information in order to treat Steven.

Mary paused for a moment, then walked towards her room.

Although Zac promised her that he would not continue to take revenge, Mary knew very well that he would not stop unless Odyssey disappeared from this world cleanly. The business of Zach covers all walks of life, and the whole group is like a giant machine. As long as one part is still operating, then for Zach, revenge will not succeed.Now that Hydra has promised to help him destroy the Odyssey once and for all, will he give up?

Mary closed the door of her own room, sighed, remembering the deep look Zach gave Steven when he left in the afternoon, went to the bed, grabbed her pair of jeans, and fished them out of the back patch pocket. took the business card Tony gave her.

During the day, she picked up the business card and stuffed it into her trouser pocket. Mary didn't look at it carefully. When she took it out, she found that Tony's business card only had his name and contact number printed on the front, and a big Avengers logo on the back. , she found out her mobile phone and called Tony according to the number on it.

The connecting tone sounded twice rhythmically, and Tony's energetic voice came from Mary's ear, saying, "Hi, Miss Reporter!"

This was really unexpected, Mary thought it was so late, the phone would probably be connected to the answering machine, but she didn't expect him to be so awake, she said: "Hello, Mr. Stark, I'm Mary Winston. "

"Oh, I have to compliment you, Mary, I'm really touched by your politeness." Tony said, "Are you calling now because Steven has lost his shape again?"

"No, he's already asleep, but it's related to him. I think it's necessary to discuss with you how to deal with it." Mary said slowly.

"Coping? That's a serious word," Tony commented. "So, what happened?"

"Hydra knows that Steven has come out of the base, and they plan to...take him away." Mary finished briefly, "If they send someone over there, I don't think I can resist it alone."

Tony was silent for a while, and said: "Okay, I understand, but before solving the coping problem you mentioned, please allow me to express my admiration for you. I have to say that the speed at which you know the news is simply impressive. Surprised and admired."

Mary looked at Tony's business card speechlessly, was silent for a while, and said, "It sounds like you need me to explain, how do I know?"

"Oh, if I can, of course, I'll be all ears!" Tony laughed, "Also, besides how you knew that Hydra wanted to catch Steven, please explain, how do you know that in our world, And there's a Steven."

Mary sat cross-legged on the bed, fiddling with Tony's business card in her hand, thought for a while, and said, "A friend of mine told me about the Hydra. As for the other Steven, it's very simple, because I met That Steven." She paused, and asked, "May I ask you for my explanation, are you satisfied?"

"You want me to be honest?" Tony asked.

"Well, whether you are satisfied or not, you already know about the Hydra." Mary didn't want to go any further, and said politely: "I am calling to ask for your help, Mr. Stark. "

There was no sound from Tony's end. About a minute later, he said, "It's 1:1 in the morning. Someone will come at 6:[-] in the morning. Please prepare a room."

"6 in the morning?" Mary thought for a while, "Okay, no problem, I will get the room ready, thank you."

"Oh, by the way, I have another question for you!" Tony said before Mary was about to hang up the phone, "Do you know Phagnes?"

"No, I don't know it!" Mary replied flatly.

"So, do you have blondes among your friends?" Tony asked again.

"Mr. Stark, you said you wanted to ask a question, didn't you?" Mary reminded.

Tony laughed when he heard the words, and after he laughed a few times, he suddenly said seriously: "Actually, those two questions just now are not what I want to ask, what I want to ask is, how do you manage to disguise yourself?" Become... two completely different women like this?"

Mary fell silent.

"Oh, by the way, I would like to remind you that sometimes, my patience is very good, especially when it comes to things that I am very interested in." Tony said with a hint of teasing, "You can definitely try to challenge it. "

Mary laughed and asked, "How did I do it, does it have anything to do with world peace?"

Tony didn't seem to expect her to ask such a question. He was stunned for a while, and before he could answer, he heard her quietly say on the other end: "Mr. Stark, there is a saying that even kindergarten children may know, that is Curiosity killed the cat." He raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he heard her voice become very sweet, he said softly on the other end of the phone: "I hope Mr. Stark won't be that unlucky cat, okay It's getting late, good night, Mr. Stark."

Mary didn't give Tony any chance to speak, she hung up the phone immediately after finishing what she wanted to say on this end.

After a long while, Mary put away the business card in her hand, lay back, and sighed deeply. Who will he send to protect Steven at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning?She lay on her back on the bed for a long time, unable to figure out what kind of person would be a bodyguard, so she simply stopped thinking about it and turned off the lights to sleep.

In the darkness, the gauze curtains hanging in front of Mary's window swayed gently with her steady breathing after falling asleep under the cool breeze of Seattle's summer night.

Outside the window, the lights in the houses were extinguished one by one. Only the birds that came out to feed at night made long chirping sounds when they were flying, piercing the silence of the night.

Mary's door opened quietly, and a small figure crept in, but before reaching her bed, she accidentally stepped on Mary's shoes at the end of the bed, and the small figure froze immediately.

Mary didn't sleep very soundly. Although the sound of shoes being stepped on was very small, she woke up with a start, reached out to turn on the light, and at the same time, her right hand quickly darted under the pillow and touched the gun placed there.She sat up and looked over, but was taken aback: "Steven..."

Steven stood at the end of the bed and said a little embarrassedly: "I scared you!"

Mary shook her head, let go of the gun, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Steven hesitated for a while, looked at her, with a pitiful smile on his small face, and asked, "Can I sleep with you?"

Mary looked at him, smiled, waved to him, and said, "Well, yes, come up!"

Steven immediately took off his shoes and climbed onto Mary's bed. As soon as he got on the bed, he felt as if the bottom of his hand touched a piece of cardboard. He moved his hand away and found that it was Tony's business card. The big letter A on it was the Avenger. The logo dedicated to the base, he pretended not to see this business card, and crawled towards Mary who was leaning on the bed.

Mary watched Steven crawling over from the end of the bed nimbly, stretched out his hands and lifted the quilt covering his body to let him sleep in. His small body, which was slightly cold, quickly got into the quilt, and she looked down at him lying obediently. OK, cover him with a quilt.

Steven looked at Mary who was half sitting on the bed, and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Mary looked back at him, yawned, and said, "Of course I will continue to sleep!" After she finished speaking, she turned off the light and lay down again.

Steven watched her fall asleep before closing his eyes in peace.

Mary lay flat there, looking at the ceiling quietly. After a long time, she turned her head to look at Steven who seemed to have fallen asleep beside her, and suddenly thought that if she brought Steven in the child state to Derek, then Tell him this is what he wants, and he's probably going to throw her and Steven out of the office together?Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth...

Spotlight newspaper, Derek's office.

Mary knocked on the door, turned her head and glanced at Steven, who was wearing a children's Captain America uniform, and signaled him not to be nervous.

"Come in!" Derek said from inside.

Mary smiled, stretched out her hand to push the door and entered, then turned to Steven who was still standing at the door and said, "Come in?"

Derek looked at the little boy in Captain America's uniform, showing a puzzled look, and said, "Can you explain to me what's going on now? Who is this kid?"

Mary looked at Derek and said, "The topic I did, Captain America's great material, I got it."

"Oh?" Derek asked with a surprised expression, "So, where is the big material? Where is your manuscript?"

"The manuscript is not available yet, but the material you want is right in front of you." Mary pointed to Steven and said, "He is the material you want."

Derek was silent for a long time, then he suddenly jumped up and said angrily, "Are you kidding me? Mary Winston, today is not April Fool's Day! It's not even Halloween, you brought this man in Captain America's suit Kid, did you come here to amuse me specially?"

"No, no, he is really Captain America Steven Rogers!" Mary said helplessly.

Derek became even angrier when he heard this, pointed at the door angrily, and said, "Now, you and your 'Captain America' get the hell out of here!"

Mary wanted to explain, but he didn't want to listen at all.

The office door was slammed shut before his eyes.

Steven turned to look at Mary, who smiled helplessly and said, "Look, he doesn't believe you are Captain America!"

"I'm not Captain America, I'm Steven Rogers" the child version of Steven looked at her and said seriously.

Just as Mary was about to say something, she felt her body was suddenly grabbed by her arms and lifted up. She screamed. At this moment, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. She turned her head and saw that it was Fox. In the attic of the orphanage, she was carried into the attic by Steven in a normal state from the wooden ladder. She looked at Steven who was smiling at her in doubt, and suddenly realized that she was in a dream, and the idea just came to a dream It disappeared, and it was dark for a moment.

Mary woke up from the dream, closed her eyes and recalled the dream just now intermittently, but she didn't have time to think about it, and the drowsiness struck again.

So, she turned over on the bed, and following her movement, Steven's small, not-so-warm body leaned towards her arms, and she dazedly stretched out her arms to hug him, falling back into sleep .
