[Comprehensive British and American] Old popsicle online dating rules

"So, what do you mean by what you just said?"

Turn around the corner until the part-time cake shop completely disappeared from the sight of the two of them.Only then did Garrod turn his head and look at Hawkeye beside him, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Do you suspect that Jimmy has a problem?"

"Everyone in our line of business has problems."

Carrying his backpack for the elf, he walked down the street and waved his hand to signal that he was welcome.Clint shrugged, without nodding or denying, his expression was not very serious, but his words were very serious:

"Natasha checked him and found nothing wrong, but I think it's better to be careful. Your identity is a secret that cannot be revealed. Even if you are only curious, there are some things that he should not pursue too deeply... that would Putting you in a very dangerous situation, Jiajia. Not all human beings are as simple as they appear on the surface."

"I know that."

A long time ago, when he was still traveling in Middle-earth, he had already experienced enough. Garald was not very surprised by this, but nodded quickly: "I will pay attention."

"That's good."

The reminder is only so far, he has done his duty.Clint walked to his car parked on the street, opened the driver's door, and motioned for Mr. Elf to get in the car.

"So where are we going?"

Sitting in the passenger cabin, buckled up his seat belt, and at the same time Clint stepped on the gas pedal.Looking at the street scenes that flashed by outside the window one by one, it was completely the route he had traveled countless times, without any new ideas, Jialuode raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's SHIELD again?"

"It must not be a surprise, right?"

Turn the steering wheel and turn back through an intersection.Clint glanced at him and shrugged: "Natasha took the guy who came to find you out, Coulson has other tasks today. So Fury had to let me take you there, and by the way save you from the overtime despair Saved from the midst of it—really, don’t thank me too much, that’s what I’m supposed to do.”

...No, I would rather feel the despair of working overtime in the store, really.

Eyelids twitched, and Mr. Elf took a deep breath: "Since they don't have time, you can actually tell me in the building and let me go there by myself after work."

"Oh." Hawkeye glanced at him: "Then will you go?"

of course not.

Thinking of the head of the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. that was like a corned egg gave me a headache.Garrod, whose essence was exposed mercilessly, curled his lips, pretending that he didn't understand Clint's accusing eyes, and immediately changed the subject: "So, why did Fury ask me again? It doesn't seem like today is the time for me to go to that social class day."

"...You still remember that you are a person with lessons."

Silently sympathizing with the teaching colleague who was often put pigeons by the elves, Clint shook his head, turned around the last street, and drove into the wide driveway leading to the S.H.I.E.L.D. garage:

"Relax, for the mental health of our agents, all your classes at this stage have been cancelled. My task today is to take you to the experimental department of S.H.I.E.L.D. There are some things that I need your help to look at."

"what?"

Garrod wondered.Hawkeye didn't answer immediately, but drifted the car into the parking space accurately, turned off the engine, then turned to raise his eyebrows at him, and smiled slightly.

"Your old friends."

Open the car door, he said so.

------------

The new experimental department of S.H.I.E.L.D. is located under the headquarters building, the deepest part of the building 23 meters from the surface.The entire floor is equipped with thick isolation doors and security personnel. Even an agent of the Hawkeye level needs to pass layer after layer of security verification if he wants to directly enter here, let alone Jia Luo, who is not even an agent. Virtue.However, he didn't complain about it. After all, there are rules there. S.H.I.E.L.D. stores many things that are very dangerous to the outside world. The possibility of outflows from inside does not cause panic among ordinary people.

Especially, when he followed Clint into the largest experimental field, and saw the densely packed and familiar nutrition cabins.

"I thought you should have destroyed them."

Raising his eyebrows, looking at the half-orc soaked in the nutrient solution in a cabin in front of him, Jarod pursed his lips in disgust: "It's not a wise idea to keep these guys."

"But S.H.I.E.L.D. always needs to understand them in order to cope with the next action, and to know what Hydra wants to train them."

Take the elf to a test bench that is separated at the end.Hawkeye raised his head, looked at the half-orc specimens filled with tubes in front of him, and various real-time monitoring data in the computer next to him, and shrugged slightly: "Also, even if you want to destroy them, you have to wait until you find the right ones." method."

……Um?

They have no sympathy for these old enemies of the elves.Garrod glanced at the experimental specimen with closed eyes in front of him, then turned his head and shifted his gaze to the complicated experimental data: "I remember that killing a half-orc is not that difficult?"

Although machines born to war are themselves extremely brutal, there are still many ways to kill them.From the cold weapons of the Middle Earth Age to the guns and bullets of the 21st century, as long as they are shot in the right place, their lives are as fragile as ordinary humans.

"That being said, there is something very suspicious about these guys. I remember what they told me?"

He picked up the experimental records on the table and flipped through them.Clint's eyes skipped over the dazzling data, his head quickly grew bigger, and he closed the notebook and threw it back very simply:

"What the hell are these things... Forget it, let's put it this way, the samples we found two times are actually a bit different. Compared with the batch found at the Hydra base, it seems that the batch that attacked New York is more... um , a bit more advanced, isn't it??"

Not knowing how to describe it, Clint looked at the researcher in a white coat standing next to them, raised his jaw, and motioned for him to continue the conversation.

"Yes."

Pushing his glasses, the man opened the report in his hand, and quickly said:

"Compared with the previous samples, the second batch of experimental subjects showed changes in cell activity, and their vital functions seemed to be enhanced. More importantly, we found a part of their gene sequences that is similar to Jialuo's. The genetic samples left by Mr. De are very similar, and when the two came into contact, a certain degree of mutation occurred."

"...What do you mean?" Garald frowned involuntarily.

"It means that our opponents may be changing, and the key to this change seems to be related to you."

Putting his hands on the long table behind him, he sat down directly.Clint snapped his fingers in Mr. Elf's direction, and then patted the table beside him, signaling him to come here: "So if you want to know what this change is, you must cooperate. Otherwise, we will do it next time." When you meet Hydra and these orcs, you will probably fall into a passive position due to lack of preparation."

such.

Never hesitate to deal with these old enemies.Garrod nodded, and De stepped up to Hawkeye's side: "Then what do I need to do?"

"Just a blood draw."

Whether it is for elves or for researchers in these laboratories, drawing blood is a trivial matter.And when he first woke up in the S.H.I.E.L.D. hospital, they didn't do less of it.Soon, with the assistance of a white coat, a needle of blood was sent out.Garrod shook his unmarked arm and lowered the sleeve.After a pause, he slapped Hawkeye's leg with a 'slap'.

"...Fuck, what are you doing?!!"

He was watching the researcher insert Garald's blood sample into the tube connected to the half-orc sample, but suddenly his dog's leg was almost snapped off.Clint was so frightened that he jumped off the table reflexively, staring at his companion who calmly stood up from the stool.

"Let's go."

His eyes turned around the densely packed nutrition cabin on the other side. Even through the glass, the aura of that dark creature was still very strong, making the elf very uncomfortable.Garald didn't want to stay here any longer. Now that his mission to S.H.I.E.L.D. had been completed, leaving quickly became the only thing he wanted to do now.

"Okay, let's go upstairs first, and wait for the captain to finish the meeting together."

Since Garald wanted to leave, Clint wouldn't say no indiscriminately.After tidying up the experimental records that had been messed up by himself on the table, he carried the quiver on his back and pointed at Jarod's gaze: "I remember that the captain should pay his salary, so let him treat us to dinner tonight." seafood."

"I have no opinion."

In a few words, he decided on where to go for Captain America's wallet, and Garald turned around, ready to walk towards the gate with Clint.However, before he could take the first step, there was a sudden exclamation from the researchers behind them surrounded by the half-orc samples, as if they had seen something unbelievable, and they immediately refocused their attention. Pulled back.

"……what happened?!"

Reflexively grasping his own bow, Clint looked bewildered.

And Garald suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, couldn't help frowning, and walked back to the experimental body full of tubes: "What happened?"

"The sample suddenly reacted to your blood."

Fingers tapped on the keyboard, and the white coat that had just drawn Mr. Elf's blood called out the real-time monitoring data, and his eyes widened involuntarily: "Its body functions are changing, the cell activity is suddenly increasing, and the genome is also changing. was quickly assimilated..."

"Is there any effect? ​​This assimilation?"

Having already pulled out the arrow and put it on the bowstring, Hawkeye aimed at the half-orc sample that didn't seem to have changed much behind the glass, and was still in the mood to make a joke to Jarod: "Will you not be assimilated into an elf in the end?"

... What are you talking about, a joke?

Looking back at him, Jarod didn't bother to pay attention to him, but turned his head and continued to look at the experimental subject in front of him.However, he keenly discovered that its position seemed to be a little...different compared to before he turned his head back just now?

"Wait, do you really think there is nothing wrong with it?!! It seems to be moving!!"

At the same time, Hawkeye also noticed something was wrong.As an archer, his sixth sense, which was always accurate, was desperately sounding the alarm, and as the liquid in the nutrition cabin boiled, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he finally realized what was wrong.

"Turn off the power! This is not assimilation, this is fucking mutation!!"

'drop--! ! ! '

Almost at the moment when Clint yelled, the machine monitoring the half-orc's body function also issued a piercing alarm.It reverberated along the wall and throughout the experimental field, and the vibration made people's eardrums ache.The sound of countless guns being loaded came from all directions, and the agents guarding here quickly gathered around the nutrition cabin whose power supply was cut off, as if they were facing an enemy.

In the chaos around him, Garrod stood where he was, neither speaking nor moving, just staring straight ahead.I could feel a strong sense of crisis rushing from my heart to my limbs. Although it was still not as good as the fear of facing the Balrog at that time, it was still rare for an elf like him to feel threatened.

In the air, the dark atmosphere seemed to be getting thicker.

Looking at the half-orc who was used as a sample behind the glass, he frowned even tighter.

next second.

It snapped its eyes open.
