Dr. Warren is a little busy

After seeing Yelena off, Ashe and Bucky leaned side by side on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Pushing Yelena to Stark to solve the matter of Bahrain Island is handled by other Avengers, even the young Spider-Man has found a way to defeat Dr. Lizard, Ash is suddenly full of hope for the future of this chaotic world hope.

But at this moment, she still felt a little lost for no reason.

She buried her head into Bucky's shoulder, forced herself to let go of those inexplicable emotions, and calmed down in the sound of his strong heartbeat.

"what happened?"

Hearing Bucky's question, Ashe raised her head to look at him, frowned slightly and said, "There were too many things before, but now they are all solved suddenly, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Bucky helped her straighten her loose hair and said, "But this is the life you should have. It's peaceful, safe, and you don't have to worry about being in danger all the time."

Ashe knew what Bucky was thinking. He was always afraid that he would bring instability to Ashe's life. Although he never said it, Ashe knew it very well.Especially since he almost hurt Ashe the night before, it must have made him miserable.

"You seem to have forgotten that I am a mutant." Ashe showed a helpless smile, "No mutant can truly live in peace and security. I am really satisfied with my current life, at least when I am by your side I can Don't be afraid of anything."

Her words were more or less condescending about him, but no matter what means she used, she only wanted Bucky to be happier.

"It's hard to be free today, let's go out on a date?"

Bucky was infected by Ash's beaming look, and he couldn't help smiling, and said, "Okay, where do you want to go?"

Ashe jumped up from the sofa and said a little excitedly: "Wait a minute, I'm going to put on a good makeup."

As the former little prince of a Brooklyn bar, Bucky has always known that a girl's "one moment" is definitely not what he thought it would be, so he tidied up the living room without haste, and cleaned up a pile of clothes. After washing and drying, I waited for Ashe who was tidied up.

The floral dress on Ashe gave her a lazy holiday atmosphere, and the lips painted with bright lipstick made Bucky want to eat oranges inexplicably.Although Ashe knew that she was not a great beauty, she was still very happy to see Bucky staring at her blankly.

Ash walked quickly to Bucky's side, took his right arm, and asked expectantly, "Honey, how do I look?"

"Amazing, really. I've never seen a woman as beautiful as you."

Bucky's face was full of sincerity, which actually made Ashe a little embarrassed.She let go of him and walked towards the door, urging Bucky to hurry up as she changed her shoes.Bucky looked at the tips of Ashe's red ears, with a smile on his face that Ashe would definitely punch him if he saw it.

Eating, watching a movie and going for a walk is the classic dating trilogy.After watching a movie and having a big dinner, Bucky and Ashe walked hand in hand along the East River in New York.Not far away, the neon lights on the Brooklyn Bridge are shining brightly, and the busy scene seems to have never changed for many years.

The red wine she drank at dinner seemed to have an effect, and Ashe felt a little light, she held Bucky's arm with both hands, leaned her head on his shoulder, and leaned almost all of her weight on him.

"Honey, I'm a little dizzy."

Bucky stretched out his right hand, touched Ashe's slightly flushed cheeks, and then took her into his arms.

"I should have stopped you from drinking that last glass."

Hearing Bucky's remorseful words, Ashe turned around with a smile and put her arms around his neck, and said coquettishly: "But I just want to drink, and I am really happy today. We will come out to play like this again when we have a chance, OK?"

Ashe seemed to be really a little drunk, and her speech was a little sluggish.Bucky looked at her willful appearance like a child, and felt as hot and sweet as if he had eaten a large piece of roasted marshmallow.

"Okay, I promise you whatever you say."

His coaxing words made Ashe laugh, she laughed for a long time before stopping, and then kissed him lightly on the corner of the lips, her eyes were shining brightly, as if reflecting the countless lights on the side of the road.

"Really? Then let's get married, shall we?"

Bucky was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ashe to say this suddenly.But soon, he reached into his pants pocket and took out the blue square box that had been rejected once.

"Honey, I should say this." He smiled, kneeled down on one knee solemnly, and said to Aixi slowly and firmly, "Aixi, are you willing to marry me? Be my most cherished wife, and spend every sunrise, sunset, spring, summer, autumn and winter with me in the future?"

Ashe kept laughing, but tears welled up in her eyes. She sniffed her nose, and then said in a crying voice, "I am willing, of course I am willing."

Bucky put the ring on Ashe's finger, then stood up, took Ashe into his arms, and kissed her lips.The kiss was interrupted by Ashe's tears due to excitement. Bucky wiped Ashe's tears very considerately, but she couldn't seem to stop her tears.

While wiping her tears, Bucky asked nervously, "Did you already know that I plan to propose to you today, that's why you said that just now?"

Ash burst into laughter in an instant, she wiped away the tears she shed, and said complacently: "Of course, I know everything, don't try to lie to me."

"I promise, I will never lie to you. Otherwise, I will be fined to sleep in the living room for a week."

Bucky's seriousness made Ashe smile even more cheerfully.Although this marriage proposal was not so formal and even a little hasty, she was so happy from the bottom of her heart that she couldn't control it, so people who passed by the Brooklyn Bridge that night felt that they were in a particularly good mood today.

The midsummer sky is blue and transparent, and the air is filled with infinite heat.Once again set foot on the British Isles, Ashe felt quite emotional.

England is her hometown, but it is also the place where she encountered the biggest nightmare in her life.Here she lost her family, her life and her identity as an ordinary person.But many years later, at the same place, she met the two closest and most important people in her life, her brother Holt, and her fiancé Bucky.

After Bucky put the diamond engagement ring on Ashe's finger, they went to X Academy together to share the good news with Ashe's beloved teachers.Ashe didn't know what Bucky was called into the office by Professor Xavier and Uncle Holt, but seeing Bucky's serious expression, Ashe guessed that it was not a simple blessing.

The pass at Academy X went smoothly, but the good brother Holt was not so easy to deal with.From the moment the plane landed, Bucky never smiled again.

Hill Street still reveals the unique classic and elegant atmosphere of England. It is midsummer, the street trees are lush, and the brown-gray buildings are also set off with a little more vitality.

The familiar house that Ashe had lived alone for several years, and Bucky had borrowed for dozens of days, was no different from before they left, except that the house that had been without its owner for a long time was deserted and dusty.Ashe and Bucky packed their luggage, and Ashe called Holt.

Holt answered the phone quickly, his voice still full of energy: "Good morning, my little princess!"

Ashe heard her brother's voice with a smile, and also smiled: "It should be good afternoon, brother. I'm also in London now."

"What? What happened? Why did you come back suddenly? Where are you now?"

Ai Xi only said that he would stay for a few days and reunite with his brother by the way, but he didn't say his real reason for coming.In fact, she didn't want to hide it, she just wanted to tell Holt the important news in front of him.

In other words, she wanted to see for herself what kind of expression her silly brother could show.

"I still live where I used to live. Can you come over after get off work today? I'm so tired from flying, I really don't want to go out anymore."

Holt agreed without thinking about it, and Ashe even suspected that he was going to skip work or leave early.

Ashe and Bucky were a little nervous when the doorbell rang.They both looked at each other and laughed together.Ashe felt that the two of them seemed to be children who had no choice but to confess everything to their parents after doing something wrong, while Bucky felt that in his too long half of his life, he had never experienced such a few times. tense scene.

"Don't be too nervous, Bucky, Holt can't beat you."

Bucky pinched Ashe's cheek helplessly, and said, "You know I won't fight with your brother."

Ashe sincerely hoped that this statement would come true.She wasn't worried about Bucky, but she was worried that Holt would be stimulated too much.

Ashe took a deep breath, nodded to Bucky, then walked alone to the hall and opened the door.

"My dear little princess, I miss you so much!"

Holt opened his arms and hugged Ashe.If it wasn't for the lack of space, Ashe felt that her silly brother could take her in a few big circles.

"My baby Ashe got a little fatter and looks better."

No girl likes to be told that she has gained weight, even if she adds that she looks good.Ashe pursed her lips and gave Holt a very displeased look.

"You haven't changed, you're still so annoying."

Holt laughed and said to Ashe, "Have you had dinner, honey?"

Ashe pulled Holt's arm and felt that Holt was in a very good mood, so she said cautiously: "Let's not talk about this, I have something more important to tell you."

Holt's smile disappeared, and the expression on his face turned serious.Perhaps Ashe's attitude was too cautious, which made Holt nervous.You must know that Ashe has always been a little devil who is fearless in front of Holt.

"What's the matter? It's okay, don't be afraid, I can help you solve anything."

Although Ashe always complained about Holt's unreliability, she couldn't help being moved when she heard such words.

"It's not a big deal, it's just important. You come with me."

Ashe pulled Holt to the kitchen door and said, "Don't get too excited for a while, or I will have to force you to calm down."

Holt nodded cautiously, and Ashe pushed open the kitchen door.

"Bucky, Holt's here."

Holt's expression was very strange at that moment, he seemed to be relieved, but then he was very unhappy.

"It's you, Winter Soldier."

"Good evening, Mr. Warren."

The two men shook hands, but Ashe felt that there was nothing friendly between them.

Ashe looked at Bucky's tense face, feeling sorry for him.He obviously didn't do anything wrong, but he had to deal with Holt who was much weaker than him in such a cautious way, and this was just because Holt was her brother, and he wanted her to get the only family member who was alive. Sincere blessings.

She walked up to Bucky, grabbed his right hand, and said to Holt, "Holt, we're here to tell you that the two of us have decided to get married."

Holt's expression is indeed very good-looking, which can be called brilliant.He opened his mouth, then closed it again, and finally said nothing.

Ashe looked at his blushing face, feeling very unbearable.

She frowned, and tentatively said: "Will you bless us, brother?"

Holt was silent for a while, but in the end he lost to his sister who was about to cry.

"Of course, of course, little princess, of course I will give you my most sincere blessings, you are my baby. Although... well, forget it, I should have expected it a long time ago."

The last two sentences are similar to emotion, and they seem to be talking to themselves.Ashe felt her eyes were a little sore, she stepped forward and hugged Holt.

"Holly, you will always be my dearest brother. Always will be."

"You have always been my little princess, dearest little baby."

Then, Holt looked at Bucky, his doting expression disappeared instantly.

"You have to love her well, or I will never let you go."

Bucky nodded deliberately and said, "I will, she deserves the best."

Holt let go of Ashe, rubbed her head, and said, "Of course, our little princess of the Warren family deserves the best."

"Holly, I'm getting married, how about you? Are you and Roxy doing well?"

Holt was a little cramped for a moment, but soon he was back to normal.

"I don't know if the two of us are suitable. She is excellent, but I am ordinary."

Ashe said very dissatisfied: "Bucky is also very good, he is the best in the world, but I am just an ordinary person, aren't the two of us a good example?"

When it comes to Ashe, Holt cannot be objective. He said with certainty: "My silly sister, you are the top one. My precious little princess is beautiful and smart, with excellent education and a decent job, and a strong mental system. Mutants, only others are not worthy of you, there is no possibility that you are not worthy of anyone."

"The same goes for you, Hawley, we all know how smart you are. And, if you ask me, it doesn't matter in a relationship, whether two people are suitable for each other, education, work, IQ, identity, etc. are completely irrelevant.”

Ashe used her professional expertise to persuade Holt very seriously.

"Holly, I have to be honest, if it weren't for your appearance, I would definitely not be what I am now. Losing you and my parents is the greatest regret and pain in my life. This is a hurdle that I will never get over. I am therefore Closed, anxious all day long, insecure, and subconsciously overprotective of myself. I almost never get close to anyone, I have never had many friends, and I was even reluctant to speak at one point."

Ashe dissected her past self fearlessly. Seeing the pain on Holt's face, she sensibly didn't say too much.

"I know you must be like me. We both thought we were all alone in the world. I know better than anyone how uncomfortable it is to be alone. But now, Holly, we have each other , I know that even if the whole world abandons me, you will not. After realizing this, I slowly began to change. I am no longer nervous and afraid all the time. Just your presence gives me incomparable vitality. sense of security."

Holt was a little moved, and Ashe hugged his arm with a smile, and continued: "Of course, I, like you, also worried about whether I and Bucky are compatible? I am a mutant, will this become his He is so good, what should I do if one day I get tired of the ordinary me? But then I realized that these are just my imaginary unnecessary worries, perhaps left over from my habitual anxiety in the past question."

Ash felt that she had said too much, so she stopped, looked at Holt who was thinking seriously, and said, "Before a relationship really begins, no one can predict its future direction. But if you If you don’t start, you will never get your perfect ending. Cherish the opportunities God has given you.”

Holt scratched his head with an embarrassed smile and said, "I see what you mean."

No matter what Holt decides to do, Ashe will support him, but she really doesn't want to see him regret it later.

Unlike what they imagined, Holt never meant to make things difficult for Bucky from the beginning to the end, which made Ashe very relieved.She only felt that her brother had expressed his dislike for Bucky in the past, so she was worried that he would disagree, but she forgot that Holt spoiled her like that, which would never make her feel unhappy.

At night, Ashe was lying next to Bucky, and when sleepiness gradually struck, Bucky suddenly spoke to her.

"I don't know that you have experienced those before, and that you have worried about those things. I thought you have always been so good, and you are happy just by looking at it."

Ash's drowsiness disappeared immediately. She propped up her upper body and lay on his chest. Listening to his steady and slow heartbeat, she felt a little uneasy.

"No, Bucky, I was never good. For many years after I was brought to the United States by the professor, I had almost no sense of presence in school. My strength is not strong, and my personality is introverted. Don't say a word to anyone."

"You said to Holt at night that you used to be autistic, anxious, insecure, and subconsciously overprotective of yourself. You even worried that you weren't good enough for me, and worried about the two of us. But I'm glad that you can now let go of those pasts with such ease, it shows that you have overcome them, and I am happy to see that you are no longer haunted by them."

Ordinary people may not be able to detect the distress hidden in Bucky's words, but Ash can easily hear it clearly.She didn't want to talk too much about unpleasant things, so she simply brought them over.

"It's all in the past. In fact, I have become very comfortable with emotional control after I became an adult. And now that you are here, I am so happy."

Bucky gently stroked Ashe's long hair, and said with a smile in his voice: "I think you bring me much more happiness than I give you. You can still live well without me. But if I hadn't met you, I don't know what it would be like, maybe I would ask Steve to freeze me again, after all I am a threat to the earth, and this world is meaningless to me."

"That's why I always say that the combination of you and me is God's will." Ashe said with a smile, "How about a couple blessed by God, doesn't it sound cool?"

Bucky rolled over on Ashe's arms and held her in his arms, his eyes sparkling and a soft smile on his face as he said, "Cool, this is awesome."

You and I may not be perfect, but we can still have our own happiness.
