The Stark Paradox

When Dominic learned of Letty's death, he crossed the border and returned home overnight at the risk of being arrested, but he still couldn't attend the funeral openly.He stood on a distant mountain and looked at his sister, and saw O'Connor who was dressed in a dignified manner, which was very suitable for the identity of the FBI.

But this in no way weakened his desire for revenge.

On the night after the funeral, he made sure no one was watching and slipped back home.Before he had time to catch up with his sister Mia and ask about Letty's death, he heard the roar of a car outside the house.

Years of knowledge about cars has been deeply rooted in his bones. He could easily hear the powerful horsepower of this car from the roar of the engine. He opened the curtain and saw a silver-white Pontiac parked On the side of the road in front of his house.Then a woman in a bright suit and leather shoes jumped out of the car.

Dominic frowned, nodded at his bewildered sister, and silently retreated into the kitchen, ready to wait for an opportunity.Then he watched Mia calm down and wiped away the tears on her face, and then opened the door.

What happened next, Donimic was a little confused.

He paid close attention to the situation on the other side of the door. He couldn't see the people outside the door from his angle, but he could see Mia's side face. She saw Mia take a step back with a shocked expression—this action made him He involuntarily grabbed the handle of the kitchen knife—then he saw Mia take another step forward and hugged the unknown figure outside the door.

This eased his tense nerves a little.

——What the hell kind of situation is this?

Then he saw Mia actually let this man into the house.

Mia went to the wall and turned on the light in the living room. The originally dark room became brighter. Mia looked into the kitchen and called softly, "Dom."

It's a signal, a safe signal.Dominique thought, he is willing to trust his sister, unconditionally.So he came out and walked into the living room, intending to meet this woman head-on.

Then, when he saw it, he felt a little weird.

Not that he didn't realize earlier that 'Natalie' was that Natasha Stark.He wasn't terribly surprised when he saw the head portrait of the industrial giant's CEO on television screens and print newspapers.This woman felt that she was not an ordinary person when they made friends at that time.

So he never bothered the other party again, nor did he mention to others that he knew Stark.

Knowing someone like him was sometimes not a good thing for his friends.Dominic may not be a good friend, but he will never do things that drag a friend down.

"So, I thought you were going to be a responsible businessman." Dominic came out and looked at the woman who was a head shorter than him, but the smile on his face didn't match his tone at all.

"Businessmen who don't say their duty in the rules can't come to see friends... Besides, I thought you knew that Stark had never been a spokesperson for the rules?" Tasha shrugged and hugged and smiled with the big black man opposite. He raised his chin, "Why, there are no reports about me abroad?"

"Overwhelming." Dominic shook his head and smiled meaningfully.Because of the grand scale of the alien attack in New York, even the official news blockade cannot be completely blocked.

"Don't mention this... So, I heard that you are not doing well?" Tasha pulled a chair and sat opposite Dominic, knocked on the table and asked, raising her eyebrows in the other's indifferent smile.She didn't say much and asked the other party if he needed help.

Her business has an army of lawyers who can win any case, but it's no use saying something if a person isn't going to ask for your help in the first place.

"So, I came to see Letty..." Tasha breathed out and said her main purpose this time. When she said this, grief appeared on Dominic's originally relaxed face.

"Actually..." Tasha pondered for a while, thinking about what she wanted to say, and finally she decided to use the simplest way, "But I only met her in New York less than half a month ago." She said the last sentence It was obvious that the other person's sitting posture was different... because the other person's muscles were tensing.

It's stealthy, but it's hard to hide from a guy who's known Captain America for ten years and is good at controlling his emotions.Tasha is very good at reading the hidden emotions of such people from their muscle movements.

But the other party managed to control her emotions and did not directly pull her out of the chair, so she said, "I heard from an FBI named O'Connor that it was her last public appearance." She took a long breath , took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, "I probably heard something, and checked the nearby surveillance video at the time of the accident...someone deleted it...it took a little time to fix it, but it wasn't It's a serious problem...I want to check it out."

"You should give this to me." Dominic has been staring at her hand since she held the small USB flash drive in her hand.

"That's not what I meant."

"Leave it to me and I will guarantee that this matter will have a result, but you may not like this result."

"Oh, honey, that means you don't know me too well, I've even seen hell." Tasha smiled at him at last, and finally threw the USB flash drive to him, "But you're her boyfriend, You have a right to handle this."

*****

On the way back, Tasha kept fiddling with her mobile phone. Obviously, her casual trip was not her own business. The sudden unexpected plan caused troubles for many people. The trip between Los Angeles and New York The distance is not short, so Tasha missed two important meetings and a new product launch.

So Tasha had to accept Carol's wrath.

Whenever this time, she hated herself so much that she could answer the phone directly with her brain.

"The scolded dog is bloody." When Carol finally hung up the phone viciously, Tasha sighed and said weakly while lying on the steering wheel.

"Should I light a row of candles for you at this time?"

"When you learn online vocabulary, don't you know to filter it first?!"

"How to filter without reference?"

"...You seem to make a lot of sense...I'm speechless." Tasha said in a muffled voice while lying on the steering wheel, and then she got up "I was thinking, we have new friends, but I Pulling you out at this juncture... To apologize, how about a party? A cleanup party to welcome newcomers? I guess everyone will like it, a car party full of gas, heavy metal music? Take a power bath to polish and get waxed ?”

"Sounds really good." Jazz responded, which sounded in line with Tasha's usual style, but deep down he just felt that something was not quite right.

******

The truth of the matter is that Tasha does have experience throwing parties, even if it's just the interior car people.

Tasha somehow convinced Optimus Prime that their leader had little objection to their orgy.

Jazz, watching Crotia and Ironhide dancing together amidst the sound of music, drank the highly concentrated energy liquid in his hand, while listening to the barking of the cross cannon and the scud twins around him, his left ear was listening to his right ear.

His eyes swept across the audience aimlessly, and then in the corner, he saw the tall figure painted in red, blue and white, and the only carbon base present sitting on the high ladder.

Not knowing what they were talking about—the blaring music was blocking the function of his audio receiver—Tasha suddenly jumped from the high ladder and left.
