[Comprehensive] Science and Magic

A patient with suspected Gamma infection has emerged in Milwaukee.Although several patients were located in different areas, they all drank guarana soda produced in Puerto Basiliford.At present, the state health department is investigating the matter and called on all major shopping malls across the United States to immediately remove this brand of soda.The Ministry of Commerce has not stated whether the biochemical pollution incident will affect the import//transactions with Brazil..."

Tony's grip on the guarana froze froze.The three of them unconsciously looked at the bottle of soda, which was clearly marked with the words "Imported from Brazil"...

"Spit it out, quick, spit it out, Tony." Roddy stood up and said nervously.

Laura drew her wand too.But she couldn't think of any spells that could detect this, and she didn't even know what gamma was, after all.

Finally she asked, "How are you feeling?"

Tony didn't answer, he frowned and went straight to put on his armor.

"Jarvis, physical examination, keyword: gamma." He ordered.

"After the inspection, no Gamma infection was found, sir."

All three of them breathed a sigh of relief at Jarvis's smooth response.

Tony opened the hood, looked at Laura helplessly, and said, "Next time, prepare something other than milk and juice."

Colonel Roddy looked down at his watch."It's getting late. We should leave and let the lady rest," he said.

Chapter 24

S.H.I.E.L.D. has not assigned Laura any tasks recently, which gave Laura a period of recovery.

Speaking of which, since resigning from Stark Industries, S.H.I.E.L.D. has never forced Laura to go to the bureau to report every day like other S.H.I.E.L.D. employees.Fury emphasized that she should try to keep her identity concealed as much as possible. They believed that Laura's ability was simply overkill in general tasks.

After seeing Tony alive and kicking that night, Laura's nightmares eased a lot.And on the weekend, Natasha, who was busy with tasks, finally got free.Laura made an appointment with her and Lillian to spend a "girls' day" together: shopping, getting a beauty treatment, watching a movie, or just sitting around the sofa and chatting-but in the end, although the staff was full, the The content has changed a bit, and there is a small oil bottle added.

"May has work today, and the Smulderses are out on a trip, so Lillian has to help watch little Peter." Laura explained to Natasha, "Peter has homework, you know, about the history of American wars." —so we have to accompany him to the World War II Memorial.”

"Oh." Natasha said with a clear expression, "He will definitely write Captain America."

Laura nodded with a smile.She said, "So we have to spend today at the memorial, don't you mind?"

"No, of course I don't mind." Natasha said, hugging Laura's arm affectionately, "Sweetheart, how are you?"

Laura froze for a moment.

"It's the first time I went out to work, and I encountered that situation again - I have read Coulson's report. Even Coulson was affected a little bit." Natasha's eyes seemed to see through everything, "All right, honey?"

Laura hugged her.She put her head on Natasha's shoulder and said with a smile on her face, "I'm fine. Thank you."

Laura apparates to Lillian's guest room with Natasha.The Smulders house was empty, and Lillian had gone to fetch Peter, but hadn't come back yet.

They sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Natasha said, "I heard Stark came to see you in the middle of the night?"

Laura said incredulously, "Why did your news come so fast?"

"Oh dear, that's what we're in for." Natasha said with a teasing look on her face. "How about you and Stark...?"

"If your information is accurate, you will know that not only Tony was there that night, but also Colonel Roddy."

Natasha raised her eyebrows: "Oh, this tone... It seems that Colonel Roddy came at a very bad time."

"Me and Tony have nothing." Laura looked at the ceiling and added, "There will be nothing."

"Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions, sweetheart. If you believe my judgment, then I have to say that Stark cares more about you than you think—no, more than he thinks. He seems to be a little stimulated , wanting to try a more stable relationship... Look, didn't he give Roddy a battle suit?"

Laura denied: "It's nothing to do with Tony. I actually don't think I have the energy to start a new relationship at all."

"Because of your ex-boyfriend?"

"How do you—"

Before Laura finished speaking, Lilian's cheerful voice came from the entrance: "What ex-boyfriend?" She walked over with an interested expression, and Peter was following her with a small schoolbag on his back.

"Hi Peter." "Hi Peter."

"Hi Laura. Hi Natasha." Peter grabbed the strap of his schoolbag, looked up at Lillian, and asked, "Can we go? If we go late, we won't be able to buy Kowski's limited desserts today." .”

Natasha asked, "Kowalski?"

"Yes, Kowalski Sweet Bakes. Peter hasn't had breakfast yet. Let's go," Lillian said.

On the way to Kowalski Sweet Bakery, Lillian was obviously still interested in the conversation Laura and Natasha had just had.Peter walked ahead enthusiastically, full of Kowalski's limit for today; Lillian slowly slowed down, and Laura and the others fell behind.She asked curiously: "What were you talking about just now? What boyfriend? Is it Natasha?"

Laura said helplessly: "I simply suspect that you have installed a trace to monitor gossip."

"It's about Laura's ex-boyfriend," Natasha said.

Lillian immediately interjected, "You mean Paltrow?" As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she realized that she glanced at Laura cautiously.Seeing that Laura had nothing to say, she continued: "There are rumors that he is going to take over the Auror Department. The Speaker and Councilor Graves are very optimistic about him, but Minister Potter seems to have always been prejudiced against him. In fact, we all I think his goal should be the next Speaker of Congress..."

Natasha's keen eyes circled them both."It looks like you two have completely different opinions about him," she said sharply.

Lillian hesitated for a moment and said, "The two of them have some relationship problems...but aside from that, I think Paltrow is a very talented person."

Natasha looked at Laura inquiringly, but Laura just forced a smile and said, "This is more complicated."

Laura didn't want to discuss her suspicions about Paltrow in the street, nor did she want them to bother Lillian.Lillian still has to work in the Magic Congress, and she has always been unable to hide things...Once Lillian knows too much, Laura is not sure how Paltrow will treat her... Losing a Sisi Lia is already at the limit.

Fortunately, Peter rescued her.It was obvious that he really wanted to eat Kowalski's limited edition today, but due to the spirit of a gentleman, he couldn't run far alone, and he couldn't rush the lady too much, which made his expression very tangled.

"Can we step up a little, a little bit?" Peter stretched out his fingers and gestured a little bit, and said, "Otherwise, we won't be able to buy Kowalski's daily limit."

Lillian slowed her pace narrowly, which made Peter jump up and down.

"Silly boy, I made an appointment with the owner of Sweet Bakery yesterday." Lilian said with a smile.

"You must be lying to me, Kowalski Sweet Bakes never takes reservations!" Peter exclaimed.

"Then we'll see." Lillian blinked at them.

Kowski Sweet Bakery is probably the oldest bakery in New York. The big sign at the door of the store says: "Since 1926".

"There are really more!" Peter was pleasantly surprised, and he sat down at the table beside him with today's limited brownie in his arms.

If any wizard passes by here, you will find that the baked works of this shop, many of which look like magical animals in the wizarding world.For example, the bread displayed in the window is exactly the bread that looks like Nixie; or for example, what Peter carefully forked off with a fork at this time is exactly a leg of the acromantula.

Laura looked around and asked, "Isn't Tina in the store today?"

"No, her English relatives are here, you know, offspring of the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - they're relatives. Would you like something to eat?"

"Is this a shop opened by your people?" Natasha was also looking around, and she said, "No wonder these breads are in strange shapes..."

"Ah, Natasha, you must try this." Lillian bought four candy apples, all carved into the shape of Billywig worms.

Laura took one and said, "Zizi bee candy, the raw material comes from magical creatures."

"What?" Natasha also took one. She looked at the candy in her hand suspiciously, then stuck out her tongue and licked it.

"It tastes good," she commented.

"You must not have been in New York for a long time—this is a very old-fashioned dessert. It has been around since the store opened, and it has always been very popular." Lilian said as she licked her own. I didn't notice that Natasha froze for a moment. "Actually, this is also a best-selling dessert in our area." When she walked up to Peter with the remaining one, Peter also seemed very happy.

After Peter finished his breakfast, they officially set off for the World War II Museum.

Peter held the candy apple in his hand and licked it happily all the way.But soon he stopped laughing.At the entrance of the museum, he was hit by a tall man, and more than half of the candy apples fell to the ground.
