I used to believe in science

"I like you, kid." After sending the director away, Antoinette walked up to Tony, stopped him from pulling on his tie, and heard Tony say this when he helped him untie it and fasten it again.

Antoinette paused for a moment and sighed, "Tony, don't tease him."

"Why, I didn't say anything." Even without looking up, Antoinette could feel Tony rolling his eyes.

Antoinette took a step back after finishing her bow tie, and Tony opened his hand and silently asked how she was doing, which made her sigh again and warn him, "You have to resist the urge to grab your hair, the opening ceremony is only a few hours away. Now, Pep's face won't look good if you come on stage with a mess of hair."

"..." Tony froze for a moment, and he could see that he was very restrained from shrinking from the name, and insisted, "Is it so difficult to say that I am perfect?" Then he turned his head and looked at the unknown person at the door. Should anyone else leave "Hey, you're Netty's friends right?"

"Garcia, Morgan, Emily, Rhett." Antoinette introduced to Tony from front to back, "You should have seen them all."

"Others?" Tony walked around the desk, walked up to the others, shook hands one by one, and asked.

"People with families." Antoinette explained.

"Your team leader looks like a good man, in the traditional sense." Tony nodded in agreement, not forgetting the gentleman's hand kiss to Garcia and Emily.

Antoinette hoped that Garcia could restrain the admiration in his eyes and not fall on Tony.She saw Garcia trembling, looked up at Tony, blinked, hesitated for a moment, and finally said "Mr. Stark, your face."

"Is there something on my face?" Tony was a little surprised. He took a step back and turned to look at Antoinette. Antoinette quickly stepped forward and turned Tony to the direction of the light. Facing the twilight, she A long and narrow scar that was not so easy to see was clearly seen on his left cheek.

That's not too noticeable, unless you look at it up close, but there's no room for flaws tonight, who knows how many times the media will use a magnifying glass to see him.

Antoinette scolded, "We have to find something to cover."

"I brought concealer." Garcia rummaged through her red handbag, pulled out a small plate, and handed it to Antoinette.

Antoinette breathed a sigh of relief, took over and thanked her.

At this time the door was pushed open again, and Pep walked in, "Tony, I see that the interview is over... oh." She saw a large group of people in the office, and quickly saw Antoinette "Niti's friends?"

"Yes, Pep, can you take them to the reception room or somewhere to take a rest, or go shopping? I'll come over later." Antoinette nodded to her, flicking the concealer in her hand.

Pep's eyes changed quickly. She pushed away everyone and walked up to Tony. She looked carefully, and after seeing the scar that was not covered up clearly, she also cursed, and then nodded to Anthony, "I will take your friend Go around and get this sorted out?"

"You're talking about me as if I'm in trouble."

"You're a trouble." Pep just gave him a blank look and completely silenced him.And when she turned to the others again, she resumed that soft smile, "Come on, I guess you haven't eaten yet, there's nothing wrong with having some dessert."

So only the Stark brothers and sisters were left in the office. Antoinette pressed Tony on the chair, faced the light, and used concealer to treat his scars while asking, "When did this happen?"

"I don't know... the day before yesterday? We went to a Hydra base." Tony raised his face, and said vaguely, "New boyfriend?"

"What?" Antoinette froze for a moment, and then understood what he meant, "No, you think too much."

"Really?" Tony raised his eyebrows, urging her. "I think he's quite protective of you. I thought...you know, you forgot to tell me when you were dating Steve."

"BAU is like a family. Everyone treats me very well, and so does Reed." Antoinette said, "It's different from the captain, and we have broken up."

When she had to convalesce at home because of things with the Court of Owls, she and Steve stayed close, probably because they were the only ones in the mansion with nothing to do.At that time, Steve was still making up for the 70 years he had missed according to his list. When Antoinette had nothing to do and sat with him in the living room or study, the conversation became more and more familiar, and a relationship began naturally.But the relationship ended a month ago, and they ultimately decided it was better for each other to step back into the distance of friends.

"Will that be a problem?" Tony teased. "Will it be awkward for you to meet in the future? How long do you need a buffer?"

Antoinette could hear the concern beneath Tony's casual banter, and she knew what he really wanted to ask wasn't "Me and Steve broke up amicably, if you want to ask, it's ok, we just ended up finding out we weren't right" For further development, he is not perfect."

"Huh?" Tony opened his eyes, and he could see that he was paying attention to this matter. "How do you say, you guys quarreled and found it inappropriate?"

"...No, the problem is that we don't quarrel." Antoinette paused, wondering how to explain this "Even though we have many differences, we don't quarrel."

She liked Steve a lot, it was a pleasure to be around him, he was an old-fashioned gentleman.He had a lot to absorb in the beginning, and Antoinette was willing to share, so they had a lot in common.But then, Antoinette goes back to work, and Steve has his own vision of modern society, and they're not as close as they used to be.

The problem may be Antoinette. When they have different views on a matter, Antoinette is used to compromise. She will shut up in time, so a dispute ends without a problem. It seems peaceful on the surface, but they both know it in private They didn't understand each other, and Steve wouldn't be happy with this reluctant compromise.

"You're saying you don't have a tacit understanding."

"...Yes." Antoinette thought about it and admitted that it was a bit regrettable, but that was it, they were not suitable.

"What about the little doctor? You seem to have a tacit understanding."

"I have been with Rhett long enough, we have the same knowledge, of course it is easy to reach a consensus..." Antoinette followed the words halfway before realizing what was wrong, "You are telling me, Tony!"

"Isn't it useful?" Tony said proudly.

On the other hand, the bau team is sitting in the reception room, holding the refreshments sent by Pep.

Morgan held up a small cookie and pointed to Rhett, "Just did a good job, boy. Impressing the family is a good start."

"What are you talking about?" Rhett frowned, he didn't want to understand the meaning of the other party's words.

"Seriously, Spencer, reconsider? I confirmed a few days ago that Netty is single now. Maybe now is a good time." Garcia nodded in agreement.

However, Emily held a different view, "Do you remember who was Netty's last boyfriend? Do you think that raised her standards for choosing a mate? Was there something difficult in the sea?" gesture.

"Come on, why do you think that the standard of Netty's condition was originally low?" Garcia rolled his eyes and pointed out the question, "I firmly believe that Netty is a romantic, and she values ​​spiritual communication rather than material things."

"Why do I feel that you are talking about me, but it seems that it has nothing to do with me at all." Reid looked left and right, blinking incomprehensibly.

"Boy, you don't need to understand this." Morgan moved to the side to ensure that he could put his arm around Reid's shoulders. "Garcia is right, this is a good opportunity, just hurry up and attack tonight."

"I don't think Netty has any thoughts about me..." Reid said weakly, but the other three people completely ignored his opinion and began to discuss tactics eagerly.

From taking advantage of the fireworks atmosphere of the crowd to express her love directly, to asking out for coffee first, and then to getting rid of her family. ,

Rhett got dizzy.

At this time, the door of the reception room knocked, and when the door was pushed open, the conversation of several people stopped abruptly. Antoinette's face appeared from outside the door, and she blinked and asked inexplicably, "What are you talking about? Sound intense?"

"It's nothing, dear sweetheart, come quickly." Garcia also blinked, never mentioning the topic just now, and beckoned to her eagerly.

"I brought you a visitor card, are you interested in visiting here?"

"It's so sweet, my dear. This is a rare opportunity. I have never had the opportunity to visit the headquarters of Stark Industries." Garcia jumped up, took the sign in her hand, as if remembering something, "How about we Going around separately? Rhett just said that he is interested in medical technology, and I want to go somewhere else, so why don't you accompany him?"

Antoinette was at a loss about this, and the others pushed Rhett to her side forcefully, and then waved to her with their bags on their shoulders, "Uh, okay... what happened?" Then turn around and ask the people around you for help.

"Uh..." Rhett didn't want to tell her about the retarded discussion, he even looked past Antoinette and saw Morgan lip-sync 'ask her' before walking out the door.

Seriously, did they really not remember that FBI rules don't allow office romances?

And, it's not that hard to ask someone out for coffee, is it?He and Antoinette always eat together, it's no big deal, and maybe the other party doesn't think it's a date with her.

"Okay... let's go..." Antoinette made a long voice, answered suspiciously, and then smiled at him, "Medical technology?"

So Rhett swallowed back the words that had already been pressed to his lips, and nodded.

The other party is inviting her to visit, so he can wait.
