[Comprehensive British and American] Old popsicle online dating rules

When Garrod realized that something was wrong, he had just reached the intersection with Jimmy.

In fact, the small restaurant that Steve brought him to is indeed far away, a certain distance from the bustling area of ​​New York, but it is not so remote that it is hidden in some corner that cannot be found.Even when it is dark, pedestrians and vehicles who have just got off work appear on the nearby small roads from time to time, leaving shadows passing by in the street lights.

There are quite a few shops on this street, but almost all of them are closed because of the late weather, and only a few scattered ones are still open on both sides of the road of about [-] meters.In the sky, there are colorful neon lights that illuminate the night sky brightly, and you can hear the sound of music coming from the downtown area from a long distance away, accompanied by the occasional crisp sound of wheels running over stones, making the surroundings a bit quiet.

Or rather, it was too quiet.

Putting his hands in the pockets of his coat, Jarod looked at his shadow elongated by the street lights under his feet, and frowned slightly.

As the best archers, elves' keen sense is their most important reliance on the battlefield.And Garrod wandered in Middle-earth for nearly ten thousand years, and participated in almost all important battles of the Noldor clan, which is even more so.And now, although there is nothing worth noting in his sight, not even a human figure, he just instinctively feels that there seems to be something lurking in the darkness around him that is not illuminated by lights, which makes him feel uneasy threaten.

Am I being too sensitive?

The slightly cold wind at night blew from the gap between the buildings, and quickly took away the last trace of warmth from his body.I stood there and listened carefully for a while, but didn't gain anything.Mr. Elf looked around, pursed the corners of his mouth, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked at it, and found that it had been almost 10 minutes since he went out, and Jimmy, who said he would be there soon, was still missing.

Could something have happened.

The darkness oppressed people more and more intensely, and he couldn't ignore this feeling no matter what.Not quite willing to stay here any longer, Jialuode swiped open the screen, found his colleague's number, and made up his mind to discuss with him again, whether he could go to the store to read the recipe tomorrow morning.

His finger rested on the call record at the top, and he pressed it lightly, watching the system send a red communication request to the other party.

And right now.

"boom--!!"

From the bottomless darkness behind him, gunshots rang out without warning.

……

"boom."

The fork collided heavily with the bottom of the plate, and the loud noise not only attracted the attention of the diners at the nearby tables, but also woke Steve up from his distracted state.

Silently swallowing something that he didn't know what it was, he glanced at the steak plate that he had forked at some time, the tip of the fork was in intimate contact with the bottom of the plate, as if laughing at his trance at the same time, Involuntarily pursed the corners of his mouth.

In fact, the captain wanted to catch up and pull him back the moment he watched Garrod walk out the door.After all, it is too inhumane to leave after flirting, and I really want to hear him finish that sentence, so as to establish a clear relationship between the two.This feeling is like bringing you a glass of water when you are extremely thirsty, but putting the glass in a place where you can barely reach it with your outstretched arms. uncomfortable.If it weren't for Captain America's four-fold self-control, he might have stood up and rushed over. Don't worry about anything, just drag the elf back to take a bite before talking.

But he didn't want to look so impatient.

Like a kid who can't wait for a second.

Thinking of this, I put the fork back on the table a little depressed.Steve touched the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that he could still feel the softness and sweetness that didn't belong to him. His heart felt as if a hundred cats had swept it with the tip of their tails, and it was so itchy that it almost ached.

Time stands still while you're waiting, or at least that's how it feels to Steve.He no longer remembers how many times he looked up at the hanging watch on the wall, but the unlovely pointer seemed to be stuck in place, and the rotation speed was horribly slow, and every time he couldn't help but wonder if it was broken Now, I have a very real experience of what a second feels like a year.

Fingertips tapped on the table unconsciously, and every time the door was opened, he always raised his head to take a look.In order not to appear too impatient, the captain even secretly took a few mouthfuls of fried rice from Garrod's plate with a spoon and put them in his mouth. He chewed without taste, but still couldn't tie himself to the chair with peace of mind ,

And finally, after nearly 10 minutes of waiting, Steve couldn't take it anymore.

He didn't know how long Garald and Jimmy had agreed, but 10 minutes was already his limit.Taking out his mobile phone from his pocket, the captain hesitated for a while between SMS and LEX, and finally chose the latter, and quickly opened the dialog box of "Fried Golden Flower" skillfully, and sent a message.

"The Star-Spangled Banner: Have you seen your colleagues? "

"Star-Spangled Banner: If I don't come back, I'll finish your dinner too. "

No reply.

...Maybe he was talking to someone in the store, so I didn't see it.

Silently finding a reasonable explanation for himself, Steve clutched his phone and thought about it, before finally deciding to make a call.

however.

"Crash--!"

Just clicked on the interface, before he typed in the number.The sound of glass breaking suddenly sounded in this small restaurant.In front of everyone, the complete window glass on the outer wall seemed to have been violently broken from the outside, completely turning into glass slag.Amidst the hysterical screams of the waitress, a group of soldiers dressed in black and heavily armed rushed in from the street in an instant and fired at the store, immediately turning the clean storefront into ruins.

what happened?

The reaction was extremely quick and the table was overturned, just in time to block the incoming bullets.Steve watched the group of people sweeping their eyes among the wailing crowd, and quickly fixed their eyes and the muzzle of the gun in his direction, and his face suddenly sank.

……

When he heard gunshots from behind, Jarod almost instinctively dodged to the side.

The environment that was too empty and silent increased his vigilance, and to some extent gave him more room to display his perception.The direction of the attack was judged almost the moment the bullet was ejected.He immediately turned sideways flexibly, sticking himself against the wall, dodging the bullets that were shot at him.

And in the originally silent darkness, breathing and footsteps began to come, slowly surrounding him from all directions.

They were all black-clothed soldiers armed with weapons.

"who are you?"

Frowning tightly, Jarod glanced roughly, and the expression on his face became serious.

'click. ’ And what answered him was the sound of loading in the air, and the muzzles of the guns raised in the hands of the men in black.

... Tsk.

No matter who is here to ambush him, he can be sure that the other party is definitely not a good person.Gritting his teeth, Garrod reached out and pulled the silver arrow pendant that Glorfindel had given him from his neck, and held it between his fingertips. He then glanced at the second-floor balcony of the shop above, with an unprecedented seriousness on his face.

"Follow us obediently."

The leading man in black shook his gun impatiently, his voice was hoarse and low, and he looked at the elf without any warmth in his eyes: "Don't think that Captain America will come to save you, he is in danger now. If you don't want to die, don't do it What pointless resistance."

Garrod snorted coldly.

"You haven't tried it yet, how do you know it's a meaningless resistance?"

Raising the silver arrowhead with fingertips, the elf raised his chin provocatively at the opponent: "As long as you can't kill me, you will die. I hope you can remember this."

"..."

His eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.The leading man in black didn't speak, but gestured behind him, his hand on the trigger ready to go.And Jarod also slightly bent his knees, and shifted his center of gravity downward, like a cheetah ready to go, the sharp arrowheads at the fingertips floated a layer of cold light in the darkness.

Facing each other for a few seconds on the deserted street, the elves moved first.

The moment the opponent pulled the trigger, he leaped high, turned around and stepped on the wall, and with his innate agility, he grabbed the balcony railing a few meters above his head.Garald was hanging in mid-air, and as soon as he used his hands hard, he turned over and stepped on the metal iron railing, and then quickly jumped outside the encirclement of the men in black.Before the other party could fully react, he swung his right hand fiercely from bottom to top, and even cut the throat of the soldier closest to him with the arrow drop like that!

The splashed blood drew an arc in mid-air, and before it hit the ground, Garald made another dodge, flew into the crowd, pulled some unlucky guy over, and let him block it for him A wave of flying bullets.

"Damn."

I really didn't expect the elves to be so difficult to deal with.Caught off guard, the leading man in black could only disperse his team members to squeeze Jarod's activity space with numbers. At the same time, he pressed his headset and whispered something into the channel.It didn't take long before the flames of gunfire began to flash in the darkness on the lower roofs of the surrounding buildings.

And an ambush.

Almost being hit by stray bullets, Jarod frowned and gave up the fight with this group of soldiers.While fighting, he retreated towards a place far away from this street intersection.Originally, he also wanted to use the enemy in the open as a shield, so that the snipers in the dark would not dare to act rashly.However, when he witnessed with his own eyes that the other party still mercilessly shot at his companions blocking the trajectory in order to shoot himself, he understood that he had no other way to get out of the hands of these desperadoes today except to run away. Get out of the way.

Thinking of this, he kicked out a soldier who was rushing towards him, and ran to another street along the shadow of the wall without hesitation, trying to lure the group of men in black to a place where there were no snipers to support them. .

However, when he nimbly dodged the blocking bullet and quickly turned the corner, he bumped into a person unexpectedly.

"I'm sorry I was in a hurry and didn't watch...Garrod?!"

Mr. Elf almost bumped into him, and Jimmy apologized as soon as he stood up in a hurry, but before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the other party and ran forward: "Wait, what are you doing—— ?!"

"If you don't want to die, don't talk, run quickly!!"

Unexpectedly, this person would come here at this time so desperately that he could not die. Jialude had no time to explain to him, so he could only drag him to the left and dodge on the street to avoid the pursuers behind him.And almost being shot by a bullet, Jimmy also closed his mouth in an instant and wanted to say something, and was grabbed by the elf and ran away with a frightened expression, obviously he was quite frightened.

The two made a big circle on the street.When he ran to a dark alley between buildings, Garrod grabbed Jimmy by the collar and pushed him in.

"Hide here, I'll get rid of them."

Slightly out of breath, but many times better than the colleague who was about to collapse.Guessing that they had already run out of the range of the sniper, Jarod's face became gloomy. He only said this to him, and then turned around again, ready to face the approaching soldiers behind them:

"Before I come back, don't come out, don't make a sound, understand?"

Covering his mouth in absolute deference, Jimmy nodded and hid himself behind some dumpster while the elf watched.

well.

Holding the bloody arrow pendant tightly, although his only weapon was this, the elf didn't show any signs of cowardice.Jimmy could only hear the footsteps of the other party moving quickly in the direction they came from, and then, piercing gunshots and shouts pierced the sky again, but compared with the first time, there was already a little more fear and panic .

"Hurry up and stop him...!!"

Outside the alley, there seemed to be such a call faintly, but it was almost immediately interrupted by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. At the same time, there were also mournful howls from the same direction.Covering his mouth tightly, Jimmy huddled in the corner, carefully capturing every sound.And it didn't take long for those terrible noises to stop abruptly at every moment, and the air returned to silence, except for the sound of my own heartbeat, there was no other movement.

The street lights coming in from the alley seemed to be blocked by something for a moment, and then, there was a strong smell of blood.

"...Garrod?"

After hesitating for a while, Jimmy tentatively yelled, and slowly poked his head out from behind the trash can.

"Ah."

Responding in a low voice, Jialuode staggered in, covering his shoulders. Although he couldn't see his face against the light clearly, he could tell that the clothes he was holding were already stained red with blood. .

Taking a staggering step, the elf leaned against the rough outer wall next to it, and slowly slid to sit on the ground.

"You are hurt?!"

Quickly ran out from the hiding place, Jimmy squatted beside him at a loss.And Garrod just nodded, glanced at the blood-soaked shirt, other than turning pale, he didn't show any pain.

"I missed a bullet, but it doesn't matter."

Torn off a section from the hem of the clothes, Jarod tightly bound the wound that was still bleeding, and wanted to move his arm, but found it really difficult to do so.He could only tilt his head towards himself and speak at the same time:

"Can you get my phone out for me?"

"of course."

There was no reason to refuse, Jimmy fumbled in his pocket, and quickly found his mobile phone.

Garrod reached out to take it, swiped open the screen, found Steve's number and dialed it.

Unable to connect as expected.

"Sure enough, they also went to attack the captain."

Leaning back against the wall, Mr. Elf sighed softly, not surprised.

"So who are those people?" Looking at his pale, almost transparent face, Jimmy finally found a chance to ask, "Why did they come to attack you?"

Glancing at him, Jarod shook his head.

"I don't know why these people attacked me." After thinking for a while, he lowered his head again, and found another number from the address book: "But I just checked, and they seem to be Hydra people .”

If this is the case, Garrod is not particularly surprised.Secretly complaining about the investigation efficiency of S.H.I.E.L.D., Mr. Elf temporarily put the matter aside, and pressed the call button without hesitation.After all, no matter what Hydra wants to do, that is a problem later, and now if he does not want to die from excessive blood loss, he must immediately find a support.

soon.

"Hello, Jiajia?"

There was only one ring on the other end of the phone, and it was connected immediately. Iron Man's voice soon appeared in Jarod's ear: "What's the matter?"

"Fix my location, Tony."

Feeling that everything in front of him was starting to become a little blurry, Garald briefly told the other party about the situation they encountered: "I need your help."

"Stay there, I'll be there in 10 minutes... no, I'll be there in 5 minutes."

His face suddenly became serious, and Tony asked Jarvis to notify the Avengers to assemble urgently, while putting on his armor: "Your voice is not right, are you injured?!"

"Fortunately."

Garald shook his heavy head: "I don't mind, you guys had better confirm the captain's situation first, after all he..."

However, before he finished speaking, Mr. Elf's voice suddenly stopped.In the strong smell of rust around him, he involuntarily widened his eyes, raised his head, and looked at the entrance of the alley where the two were.

There, a person wrapped in a black cloak was standing silently, and even the elves with keen five senses didn't realize how he came.The cold wind at night came from the extremely complicated atmosphere around him, like a predator hiding in the dark watching its prey, quiet, but seemed to be more deadly than anything Garald had encountered before.

At the same time, the arrow pendant in his palm also began to heat up slightly.

"...Jiajia? What's wrong? Jiajia...?!"

On the phone, Tony's anxious inquiries kept coming, but Garald was in no mood to answer.He stared at the figure in the black cloak at the entrance of the alley, stood up from the ground leaning on the wall, and covered Jimmy behind him by the way.

"who are you?"

He was sure that he was the black shadow he had seen on the roof this afternoon.He couldn't ignore the bottomless dark aura on the opponent, and it made him feel even more uncomfortable than the half-orc.Jialuode's heart beat heavily, his pupils constricted, and he almost gnawed his back molars under the sense of threat.

The man didn't answer.

And Mr. Elf clamped the arrow pendant again, and put on a defensive posture.His attention had been focused on the front of him, but he ignored it. When he saw the black figure, Jimmy behind him nodded slowly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a gloomy and cold arc.

"I'm very sorry."

His eyes were fixed on the front, but suddenly he heard such a contemptuous sentence from behind.Before Mr. Elf could react, he felt something hit him on the back of the neck suddenly, with such force that it almost deprived him of his sanity from his body in the blink of an eye.

There was extreme shock on his face.Garald involuntarily closed his eyes and fell down heavily.
