Mutants' Daily Life [Comprehensive British and American]

Those... unsung heroes...

"What happened yesterday in Stark Industries...the robot malfunctioned...Fortunately, a bodyguard of Mr. Tony Stark stepped forward..."

Colonel Rhodes spoke eloquently in front of the media on behalf of the US military.

Coulson took the written lines and handed them to Tony: "... Anyway, that's how it is, you just read the lines word by word, and leave everything to that bodyguard."

"That doesn't sound very reasonable."

Tony said carelessly: "At the moment of crisis, what a coincidence, my bodyguard showed up wearing gold and red armor to stop the crisis in time?"

"Whether it is reasonable or not, as long as the people believe it."

Coulson smiled very friendly and said, "This will save you a lot of trouble, Tony."

"I don't think so." Tony took the few small slips of paper with lines very disapprovingly.

"However, if you must tell me so..."

He raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter."

Then, his cell phone rang.

"Tony, man, I'm worried. Yesterday...yesterday, was that you?"

Mrs. Maria's nervous and terrified tone came from the phone. She seemed to be really frightened, and her voice trembled a little.

"Oh! Damn it." Tony complained in a low voice, covering the microphone.

Then, he rolled his eyes, quickly adjusted his emotions, grinned and kept smiling, holding the mobile phone in one hand and the line card in the other, and comforted him softly in a sweet voice: "Of course not, my dear. I am How could a billionaire do such a dangerous thing..."

Pep looked at Tony in surprise, and couldn't help guessing who was on the other end of the phone?

It can actually make the guy who has always been the only one who respects himself and does his own way change his mind in an instant.

Coulson vaguely guessed something, didn't say anything, just continued to maintain a friendly smile.

"...Oh, yes, I invented the armor, but I only occasionally wear it for fun. Yesterday's... yes, it was actually one of my bodyguards."

Tony kept a smile on his face, and began to read according to the lines, while playing with himself: "I happened to be playing with Pep on a yacht at the time... Yes, yes, the beautiful and smart assistant next to me Girl. No no, you trust me, I have more than 50 witnesses to testify for me... yes, I am not here. Haha, don't worry about me, how can I not worry about my safety! Okay, I promise , my dear, in case of danger, I must stay far away, protect myself, hide behind the bodyguards, and never go up! Don't worry, dear."

After another burst of sweet words of comfort, Tony hung up the phone.

He blinked his big flexible caramel eyes, sighed helplessly, but said with a smile: "In this world, there will always be a few people who make you willing to give up all the code of conduct for her. "

"It seems that Stark Industries will have a mistress." Pep couldn't help asking tentatively.

"She's always been the hostess." Tony replied with a half-smile.

Pep immediately fell silent and stopped talking.

There was something genuine about the smile on Coulson's face.

Because, up to this moment, the uneasiness and worry in his heart that "Tony Stark will mess up" was finally let go: "Mr. Stark, you can go to the press conference now."

Thanks for this timely call.

The press conference on this day was unexpectedly calm.

Tony Stark, who has always been the most showy, honestly read the lines given by the government.

The major news media looked at him rather sadly, saying, "We clearly agreed that we will be the headline on the road, why did you suddenly change your mind?" '

Even if the beautiful female reporter deliberately provoked her with insulting words, he didn't get a counterattack.

Instead, Tony took the opportunity to deliver an ebullient... tribute to the 'brave, righteous, Iron Man bodyguard who stood up to save his people'.

His affectionate praise this time even made the media suspect: Is the reason given by the government this time actually true?

They stared at the stage dumbfounded.

Tony stretched out his hands emotionally and gave a thumbs up: "Iron Man is great! Very cool! He's a superhero!"

During this period,

Colonel Rhodes next to him has been using a kind of "Can you still have some face?" ' look at him.

But his face is too dark, it is estimated that it is difficult for most people to decipher the meaning of this profound expression.

However, at the end of the press conference, when Colonel Rhodes and Tony passed by, he still couldn't help but mocked: "Iron Man? Um, a superhero?"

Tony blinked those big brown eyes innocently, and continued to praise without shame: "Yes, Ronaldinho, he is my idol! My superhero. Every word of my praise today comes from the heart From the heart."

Colonel Rhodes made a nauseous expression.

Tony held his shoulders calmly, disregarding his objection, straightened him abruptly, and took a group photo together.

In the group photo, with a bright smile all over his face, he calmly faced the cameras of the media and made a big V.

Captain America, who watched the accident from the beginning, couldn't help but agree: "Tony is right. That Iron Man should indeed be a superhero. He bravely and fearlessly saved a whole street of people."

Nick Fury rolled his eyes towards the sky, and muttered in a low voice: "I hope, you can always stick to this idea."

Chatting like this, they came to a nursing home.

In fact, if you don't care about Nick Fury's solicitation, you don't care about those occasional conceptual deviations.

Well, the chief of a certain mysterious department, apart from being a bit shrewd and cunning, with a bit of secret agent's pretentiousness, is actually a good person who is easy to get along with, and occasionally has a bit of a cold humor.

Steve always has a habit of thinking about the good of people.

When the black director stopped deliberately showing off his tongue and persuading them, the conversation between them was obviously much more peaceful.

Nick Fury also had to admit one thing, that is: 'The best way to deal with Captain America is to tell the truth.He is not a simple American soldier. Although he has well-developed limbs, his mind is not simple at all'.

However, in front of Peggy Carter's hospital room, Steve almost flinched.

"It's been so many years..."

He said to himself: "She already has her own family, career and life. Bucky, I really don't know if I should appear in front of her again and disturb her peaceful life."

The Winter Soldier patted him on the shoulder silently.

Although he didn't say a word, just standing behind him like this still made Steve feel supported.

So he mustered up his courage and walked into the room.

Peggy Carter is indeed a bit old, with half-white hair and many wrinkles on her face, but she is still beautiful.

Because she has an amazing charm that even the years can't take away.

When she saw the captain, she silently covered her mouth, and after a while, she smiled softly.

"When Nick told me, I still couldn't believe it..." she said choked up, "but it's nice to see you again, Steve."

"Me too, Paige," Steve answered her through tears.

This pair of lovers who have been separated for decades only started to chat slowly when they met each other for a long time.

But to be honest, no one can imagine their chat content.

There was no tenderness, no heartfelt confession, they sat there, chatting about the many changes and world events in this new world, such as the Watergate incident, the Vietnam War, the Pentagon, and equal human rights and freedom of speech...

It's exactly the same as it was many years ago, except back then...

They would talk about Hitler, about the Nazis, and how to take a certain strategic fortress.

Peggy Carter has never been a woman who only knows romance.

She is sharp, courageous, and determined, never inferior to a man.

"I have lived a very wonderful life, and I have never wasted it." Paige said to the captain.

She looked proud, as if she had handed in a perfect score.

From her expression, Steve seemed to see the heroic female officer training recruits back then.

He couldn't help but feel proud of her from the bottom of his heart.

"But my only regret is that you didn't enjoy your life, Steve."

Peggy held Steve's hand and smiled softly: "This time, you have to listen to me, don't be afraid of this new world."

"You have created glory for this country, now it's your turn to enjoy it..."

She quickly and unceremoniously dismantled the director and said: "So, don't listen to Nick Fury's nonsense. If you don't want to continue fighting, you can quit. Whatever you want to do, let him help you How about applying for a veteran’s allowance and using the money to go to a university? You are still young, I remember you were an art student, you can continue your studies, and become a college student... Get a diploma, then find a job and pay a beautiful Girlfriend, get married, have a few babies..."

"Peggy!" Steve stopped her dumbfounded.

"Captain..." Peggy stared at him deeply, and suddenly confessed, "You are the man I love the most in this life."

"Yes, I love you too." Steve replied firmly.

"So, I really want to see you happy, Steve."

Peggy said tenderly, but optimistically and positively: "I'm not too old now, you should hurry up. Maybe, I can still see the birth of many squad leaders, and help them change their diapers one by one."

"God, you really..."

Steve held Peggy's hand tightly, not knowing what to say, he couldn't help laughing despite his tears.

Also after the press conference,

Tony received another call from his father, Howard.

"Tony, remember to bring me a set of steel armor too."

Howard ordered in an orderly tone: "You don't need to install weapons. I guess what you installed is not to my liking. I like to install it myself. Also, don't spray the color, I will choose a good-looking one myself."

Tony hid in the corner, holding the phone in a broken state: "Dad, what do you want armor for?"

"What? You can be a superhero yourself, can't I?" Howard asked angrily.

"That's not me, it's one of my bodyguards!" Tony said sophistry.

"Cheat your mother, you think I will believe it?"

Howard said very sharply: "The Stark family man will never give up the limelight to others." [Note] Tony Stark: ...

"Hurry up, bring it over tonight!"

The white-haired Howard also said enthusiastically: "I have to speed up the modification, and when the Iron Man needs to appear next time, we can fly there together."

Tony Stark: ...I'm all bad!
