[Comprehensive] Science and Magic

When he saw the dinner on the table, he went straight to sit down and said happily, "It's great, I haven't eaten yet."

"Yeah, you're welcome." Laura sat down in another chair and cut her share of pork chops.She had anticipated the current situation a long time ago, and made dinner for two.

"Is there any wine?" Tony tapped the empty glass.

"Only milk and soda."

"Pork chops with milk, are you kidding me?"

"Soda, then."

Tony let out a "ha!" and said, "Do you remember the last time about Ford Harbor soda?"

"The ones I bought this time were not imported from Brazil. If you don't want to drink juice, I still have soda and Coke." Laura waved her wand, and the soda and Coke bottles jumped out of the refrigerator and flew onto the dining table.

Tony stared at them in disgust for a while, and finally poured himself a Coke.He muttered, "I'll bring you two bottles of good wine next time... Have you read the news?"

Laura poured herself some juice and asked, "What news?"

"You don't even know... what have you been doing lately?" Tony forked a piece of pork into his mouth, and said vaguely, "I found that you have been entering and leaving the apartment in a normal way recently."

"You found out," Laura repeated.She stopped what she was doing and looked at Tony reproachfully.

"Okay, let's skip this question—" Tony cleared his throat, and said pretending to be nonchalant, "That news... Hulk, that big guy."

"What is Hulk?"

Tony took his phone out of his pocket, pressed it, and handed it to Laura.

That's news.

"There are rumors that near Corvo University, a fierce armed conflict took place between the US military and an unidentified enemy. Two sophomores witnessed part of the incident. According to their description, the unidentified enemy is huge, Like Hulk Hulk..."

Laura looked at Tony puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Gamma rays. Hulk," Tony said.Laura still looked at him in bewilderment, and Tony continued to explain: "As you can see, we don't have magical powers. Then there is a group of people who pin their hopes on genetic modification, and in fact, they have succeeded-and this , " Tony tapped the phone interface, "This one is obviously a failure."

"But how would you know...I mean, this news didn't capture any pictures, it was just an interview with two students..." Laura said hesitantly, "Corvo University... I always feel like I heard about it somewhere Pass……"

"Hey!" Tony snapped his fingers, bringing Laura's attention to him.He said: "They're rounding up this Hulk with the Stark Industries database, you think I won't be able to find it?"

"So there's such a Hulk? Could he be a troll—"

"Not a troll," Tony said firmly.He had read Laura's Fantastic Beasts textbook and knew what a troll looked like.He pointed at the gate of Laura's house with a finger, and said, "Also, the only successful test subject lives opposite your house."

"You mean Captain America—"

"He's not a wizard. Otherwise, why do you think he was frozen in ice for almost 70 years and still alive?" Tony snorted coldly: "Everything stems from the super soldier project. I guess this is why SHIELD asked you to monitor His reason, after all, failed products are completely out of control, and Captain America has not been maintained for almost 70 years, who knows that his mind is not normal now. I always think that hardware equipment is more reliable, of course, natural ability Not bad - but man-made genetic manipulation is not a wise choice."

The news shocked Laura.She looked down at the news again, and in the ocean of her chaotic thoughts, a long memory floated up.It's Peter's Aunt May.

"Parker... The Parkers were former professors at Corvo University," she murmured.

"You mean the kid's parents?" Tony took the phone from the table and pressed it while asking, "When did the kid move to New York?"

"Probably... about five or six years ago."

"That makes sense," Tony said. "Look at this...five years ago, 'Mystery happened in the laboratory of Corvo University's Department of Biological Sciences', 'A green monster appeared'..."

"You mean that Hulk will be Peter's father or mother?"

"I'm afraid not. The Parkers should have been when Hulk transformed for the first time...you know..." Tony spread his hands.

"It's just horrific." Laura clenched and loosened her wand hand, and everything connected now.No wonder Natasha and Coulson have such strange attitudes towards Peter, they must all know this...

Laura thought about Captain America again.She said uncertainly: "I don't think Rogers should be... He seems to be a good person, and there is no sign of going crazy."

"Yeah, the moral model Captain America." Tony snorted. "Who knows. He's the only successful experiment, and no one can give him a guarantee."

"And I think Fury probably wanted him to join the Avengers..."

Tony laughed loudly: "Ha! Their superboy group actually won't let go of even a centenarian. Why do you want him to join? To tell stories about World War II? Or to be a moral education teacher for middle schools?"

Laura couldn't eat for the next time.

When they finished their dinner, Laura took the half-baked product out of the oven and waved the wand to direct the cream and raspberries to decorate the pie herself.Tony watched her do this with interest and said, "I'm pretty full, but I think I should be able to eat this."

"This is not for you." Laura frowned. "Haven't you finished your dessert? This is for Rogers."

"What?" Tony yelled unhappily, "Why did you send him something?"

"Excuse me, I'm his good neighbor in Brooklyn. I guess it's normal social etiquette."

Tony walked away whining, and after a while he called out from the living room, "Why are you reading The Lancet? I thought it was our weekly medical journal."

Laura came out of the kitchen with her basket.

"I'm working on No-Maj cases," she replied. "Many of the wizard's healing spells for No-Maj injuries are far behind."

"Is this what you do these days?"

"Yes, I found a job in our hospital to study these by the way." Laura took the magazine from Tony's hand, stared into his eyes expressionlessly and said, "I hope I can help you in the future." It's got to be busy, like your chest thing. You can't live with this all your life."

"Oh." Tony moved uncomfortably. He avoided Laura's gaze, looked at the basket on the coffee table and said, "It's so sweet."

"So, stop spying on me, okay? I apologize for being around you with ulterior motives. But we are already friends, and friends shouldn't treat each other like this."

"Hmm..." Tony wrinkled his nose.He pulled out a cell phone from his pocket, identical to his own, except it was silver and white.He handed the phone to Laura and said awkwardly: "Then you have to bring this. It is directly connected to Jarvis and has access to the Stark Industries database... I think you will need it. "

Laura took the phone.She pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Thank you. That's very kind of you."

Chapter 28

Laura and Tony finally head out the door with Raspberry Pi.

As soon as she went out, Laura felt that something was wrong.She looked at Tony and said puzzledly, "Why are you wearing sunglasses? It's already night."

"I like it." Tony coughed and slammed the sentence, leaving Laura to go ahead.When he reached the door of Rogers' house, he stopped again, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets, shaking one leg and waiting for Laura to knock on the door.

There is really no way to take him.Laura knocked on the door with the basket of raspberry pies in one hand.The door opened after the second knock, and the tall figure of Steve Rogers appeared in front of Laura.

"Hi, Steve." Laura greeted with a smile.

"Hi, Laura." Rogers glanced over the basket in her hand, and finally landed on Tony.

"Oh, he's Tony. Tony Stark." Laura introduced.

"Stark?" Rogers seemed to remember something, he asked, "Are you the son of Howard Stark?"

Tony raised his hand to take off his sunglasses, and said casually, "Obviously I am. I have to say, for an elderly person, your observation skills are quite keen."

Rogers looked him up and down, with unknown emotions flashing in his eyes. "You look like your father," he said, "but he doesn't talk like you."

Tony frowned in disgust.He said in a choked voice, "Don't compare me with my father, and don't look at me like a junior. Why, do you want me to call you grandpa?"

Rogers was not angry, but said gently: "It seems that you already know who I am. Then you should understand that in terms of seniority, you should call me uncle."

"Ha!" Tony smiled back at Laura, "This old Popsicle really thinks of himself as an uncle!" His face was full of cynical sneers: "Why, do you want to make up for my Christmas presents over the years? Uncle Rogers? "

Rogers wisely ignored Tony's words.He said solemnly: "I saw the report about you in the newspaper. Re-hosting Stark Expo is a very good idea. I remember the first time I saw Howard, it was at Stark Expo Tomorrow. You should send Learn from your father and do more practical things instead of just blowing things up."
