Dr. Warren is a little busy

Outside the apartment building where Yelena lives is a street with many shops and stores. There is a coffee shop on the street, which looks a bit deserted on this weekday afternoon.

Ashe and Spider-Man sat face to face in the corner by the window, and there was no one else within a few meters of them.Ashe endured the discomfort and drank the espresso that he didn't add any accessories one after another. This drink called Espresso brought Ashe more lip and tongue torture than enjoyment.But no one can deny the uplifting power of this double-strength black liquid, which needs just a sip to lift your spirits.

Ashe casually looked at the people passing by outside the window, and softly asked the person sitting opposite her: "Boy, what's your name?"

"Uh, Peter. Did you recognize me? I thought my disguise was on point."

Ashe smiled at him and explained: "Your disguise is very successful. It's just that I'm different from most people. I don't recognize a person just by looking at his appearance. The elusive feeling of ordinary people is more helpful to me. Some. Are you wondering why I brought you here?"

Peter scratched his head and said a little uncomfortably, "I think you have something to say, but not in front of those two friends."

"Yes." Ashe was very pleased with Spider-Man's intelligence, as expected of a person who is going to do great things, his brain is really easy to use, "They won't expect me to escape from Yelena, so it's still safe here, Just make sure you don't have anything you shouldn't have."

"Absolutely not, I change clothes more often than most people."

After hearing his somewhat joking words, Ashe felt a little more relaxed, and began to explain her thoughts.

"Yelena put something in the water I was given, but the drug wasn't fatal, it just incapacitated me. I think her intention was to take me somewhere, to whoever told her to do it. I don't know the purpose of that person, but I have a rough idea of ​​what he used to threaten Yelena. It is nothing more than a secret between you and Harry. I tell you this because I hope you can protect yourself and Harry. Li, and of course Yelena, in my opinion, she is not guilty of death. More importantly, you'd better find out this person quickly and find a way to deal with him, otherwise the handle he holds will make you in the The future has been timid."

Spider-Man took a sip of the juice and said worriedly: "I don't know what to do, too many things have happened recently, the matter of Professor Connors has not been resolved, and some of my small research has some forks, s Mr. Tucker couldn't be reached either. I really have no idea who this mysterious figure might be."

Ai Xi looked at the boy's frowning expression, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you don't know who he is, as long as Yelena knows."

"You mean to ask Yelena? But she won't say it. You couldn't get a word out of her just now, let alone me."

Peter raised his hand and scratched his head again, with a puzzled look on his face.Ashe couldn't help but feel that Peter was still a little young. This upright and kind young boy didn't have many twists and turns in his mind. He still needed a lot of experience to become a successful superhero.

Ashe lowered her voice and explained to Peter: "You just need to let her go and wait for her to find that person by herself. Even if she doesn't go, that person will take the initiative to find her. People with special identities like them , No matter which force you are serving, there will always be punishment for mission failure. If that mysterious person still refuses to show up under that situation, you can use me as a hostage and let Yelena take me to hand in the mission. That's why I I'll have coffee with you here, leaving Harry alone. He's hurt and he won't be able to see Yelena."

Peter was a little dazed, and he was stunned for a while before he said, "Then should I follow Yelena next?"

"You send Harry a message first, just say you and I have something to do, let him watch Yelena, once she escapes, ask him to contact you as soon as possible, I think Harry should be able to understand the meaning of this. Then we left Here, pretend that you have something to do, like you, like a responsible gentleman, insist on sending a lady who has just received a shock home, and explain to me that Mr. Stark cannot be contacted on the way."

Ashe smiled and said to the blinking Peter, Peter immediately understood what she meant, they had to behave naturally enough, otherwise the mysterious figure would not have appeared on the stage at will.

Ashe and Peter walked side by side on the streets of New York, and Peter held his cell phone tightly in his hand.They didn't intend to go to any destination, but were just waiting for news of Yelena's escape.

Peter briefly talked about how he wanted to contact Mr. Stark for help because of Professor Connors, but failed.Ashe told him that the Avengers had collectively set out on a mission, but Peter said that in the past, Mr. Stark would not completely ignore him even if he was fighting in armor.This made Ashe even more worried. She didn't think any task was so serious that she didn't even have time to reply a message or make a phone call. Maybe they didn't want to, but just couldn't.

"Speaking of Professor Connors, I think you and Harry should get into the Aussie Group as soon as possible to find what you need. Harry's father must have access to any part of that building, although the company's control right now It's not in Harry's hands, but he has the right to dispose of everything his father left behind, and that should include his access card."

Peter thought about it seriously, and said: "To be honest, we haven't considered this matter yet. Today is too hasty, and Harry has been in a coma for a long time because of his injuries. We don't have time to sit down and discuss it. Solution."

"I understand that it happened so suddenly that it's normal for you to be unprepared. I haven't experienced this moment of taking on such a big responsibility, and I don't know how it will make people feel."

Ashe said to Peter sincerely, like everyone who needs her help: "But you have to know that there are always people supporting you, and there are many people standing behind you. At least I can guarantee that no matter when Your supporters will definitely include me. To be honest, you are a superhero worthy of respect and admiration in my heart, just like Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow and Hawkeye. Looks a little younger, but still as trustworthy as they are."

Peter looked a little uncomfortable, he half hung his head, and said embarrassedly: "Thank you, Dr. Warren, I have never heard anyone say these things to me. But why did you say Captain America Iron Man Why didn't they mention the Winter Soldier? I think I heard Harry and Yelena mention that you have a close relationship with him."

Mentioning Bucky, Ashe's mood was a little complicated. She felt a little soft when she heard his code name, and more of it was a sudden rise of worry.

"He is very special to me, not just as simple as the Winter Soldier, Avenger or superhero." Ashe stopped with a smile, and looked at Peter who was holding the cell phone that suddenly rang in his hand. Say, "Come here, I can walk the rest of the way by myself. You should go back, you have important things to do."

Peter froze for a moment. He also noticed Ashe's abnormality. He frowned slightly and said, "Thank you for your help, Dr. Warren. If you have anything to do, please contact me."

"So do you and Harry. Stay safe and see you later."

Ashe said goodbye to Peter, and strode forward.She suddenly wanted to go back to Bucky's house in Brooklyn. She had been pretending to be calm all day, but in fact, she had already been forced by the uncontrollable worry in her heart to the point of being unable to hold on.Going back to X Academy is certainly a safe and good choice, but now she even wants to go back to the home where she and Bucky spent many good times together, and seek even a little bit of his familiar atmosphere The peace of mind it brings.

The house without the owner living in it for just a few days is already a bit deserted. Before Ashe left, she never thought that she would have such a mood when she came back again.

The curtains in the living room obscured the orange sunset outside the window, making the open space look a bit dark.Ashe sat on the sofa and didn't know what to do. She stared blankly at Bucky's slippers on the shoe rack at the door, and didn't want to move for a moment.

But the feeling of fatigue and the stimulation of espresso kept urging Ashe's stomach, sending discomfort signals to her brain and limbs.She threw down her bag and coat, impatiently kicked off her tortured high heels, and walked barefoot into the kitchen.The direct contact with the floor brought a cold and uncomfortable feeling to her feet, but she felt that this chill was not a bad thing for her now.

Ashe felt the booze-hungry orthodox British part of her body scrambling, and pressed against her uncomfortable stomach, deciding to distract herself from the inappropriate craving.She pulled out her cell phone from her pants pocket and called Holt.

It was noon in London. When Holt answered the phone, his voice was still a little vague. Ashe guessed that he should be eating lunch.So Ai Xi only said a few words, then hung up the phone again, she didn't want her brother to worry too much about things that didn't happen, he was already busy enough.And even if he pushed away other things and chatted with her for an hour, it couldn't solve any of her problems.In fact, no one can solve her current troubles, unless Bucky appears in front of her immediately, safe and sound.

The caring but still unreliable voice of my dear brother made Ashe feel a little better. She put her mobile phone on the dining table, opened the refrigerator and searched for edible food.With the few onions and potatoes she had left, she simply made some hot soup to appease her rebellious stomach.

She suddenly recalled those days when she lived alone in Hill Street, London.She was once a very independent person and could live well alone, but now that Bucky has just left her for two days, she is a little unbearable. in the honey jar.

Fatigue and powerlessness struck again, and Ashe felt her limbs were a little heavy, and she couldn't judge whether it was because she had just eaten or the effect of the unknown medicine that Yelena added to the water had not yet passed.She left the used dishes and leftover food in the kitchen, and decided to take a bath first.

The hot water at a slightly higher temperature made Ashe feel much better. She was determined to let go of the excessive fragility in her heart, and waited for Bucky's return at home with peace of mind.She comforted herself in her heart, at least there is no news yet, isn't it?Her excessive worry was of no use.Ashe soaked in the hot water, not only did her muscles relax, but her mood also improved a lot.

However, an obvious noise downstairs made Ashe's heart tense again after she had just let go. It sounded like the sound of glass breaking, and Brooklyn has always been a mixed bag, and the law and order are not very good.She hesitated for a while, listening carefully to the movement downstairs, but there was no other sound after that.

Ashe climbed out of the bathtub, hastily wrapped her body in a bath towel, and walked downstairs.She would at least make sure the window was broken, and here it was an open invitation to robbers and thieves.Under normal circumstances, she would never be afraid of them, but today she really didn't have the energy to spare.

Her coat and backpack were thrown on the sofa in the living room, and the high heels were thrown upside down on the floor. There was no change from before Ashe went upstairs, and the glass windows were all intact.Ashe was ready to go to the kitchen with doubts, but suddenly a special smell came into her nose, which was like the smell of gunpowder in the air after the gun was fired, and also like the unique smell of mud and dust.And before she had time to think about where the smell came from, she was pinched against the wall by her neck, and the pain of her back hitting the wall made her dizzy for a while.

Ashe reluctantly opened her eyes, and the person in front of her made her almost tremble.

Bucky stared at her coldly in a way Ashe had never seen before, his eyes without a trace of emotion were empty and terrifying.
