[Comprehensive British and American] The life of the villain and the body of the hero

"Come on, ace of hearts and 7 of diamonds stand up!" Hawkeye booed gleefully at the side.

Dr. Banner sighed and turned over the 6 of spades in his hand, and then said helplessly to the Ouroboros: "Do we have to play this? I want to go back to the laboratory and continue working."

"From the beginning, it was just playing poker. I knew I shouldn't let Fat Jiu decide." Ouroboros put down the 7 of diamonds in his hand expressionlessly, and looked at Hawkeye with almost threatening eyes. The "King".

On the other side, Tony, who had drawn the ace of hearts, stood up with a relaxed face, and raised his eyebrows at Hawkeye provocatively.

"Tsk, how about a kiss?" Hawkeye suggested fearing that the world would not be chaotic. The captain coughed lightly, as if reminding Hawkeye not to go too far, and not to make such jokes among comrades.

Tony was stunned for a moment, then smiled like a playboy, and immediately went to James, put his arms around his waist and put his face on it: "Little snake baby, don't be so shy, let that fat bird see it too." look."

Ouroboros walked away with a look of disgust, raised his eyebrows and said: "I have a master, stay away from me."

"But this is the rule of the game!" Tony opened his brown eyes wide, as if he looked extremely innocent.

Ouroboros couldn't help but squinted his eyes, and suddenly he also laughed, and then teleported to Tony, and tripped Tony with a slight force on his feet backwards.Then he hugged the other person's waist, gave him a quick and perfunctory peck on the face, and then simply let go.

Tony fell backwards completely, and the others laughed beside him. He muttered a few words to himself, and got up indifferently.Hawkeye also protested that Ouroboros didn't follow the rules: "It's a kiss, why are you kissing your face? Is the tin can your son?"

"You just said kiss, blame yourself for not making it clear." Ouroboros laughed murderously: "Dead bird, remember it for me! It's better not to be my turn to instruct you to do things."

"I'm not Hawkeye for fear of you, betting on pickles and cookies for a month!"

"What do I want pickles and cookies? If you lose, tell us about your little Internet lover."

"It's a netizen, do you understand netizen, we played games together." Hawkeye protested.

In fact, Hawkeye's soul has been snatched away by that mysterious netizen and game partner recently. Seeing how he chats with people every day, I don't know which one is his official job?Avengers, or professional chat?

They just drank and played games like this until midnight.Tony was drunk and was sent back by the captain; Hawkeye was also drunk, and the black widow said that she had to go back to wash up so she had no time to talk to him, so she had to be escorted by Dr. Banner.

"You drink a lot, Layton, are you okay?" Dr. Banner's figure is much thinner than Hawkeye's, especially Barton's wine is not good, and he writhes like an earthworm when he is drunk. It was exhausting for Na to hold him.

"I'm fine, you can send Hawkeye back. No one is watching him go into the ventilation duct again, be careful not to get stuck in it." James smiled and shook his head at Dr. Banner, who continued to fight with the fangs and claws with his head as big as a bucket Hawkeye wrestles.

Is he drunk?James doesn't know this, his ability can speed up the decomposition of all substances in the body, including alcohol of course.But he drank a lot, enough to make his head swoon, more out of control than usual.

The Winter Soldier had no word from him, and he couldn't reach out to Wishbone because that would alarm both S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA.The Avengers have no major tasks recently, just some scattered little people.They usually do their own things, conduct regular team training, and then set aside time for meetings, drinking, and playing games.Not saying it's bad, but it's not what he wants most.

As time went on, the relationship between the Avengers became more and more familiar and intimate.That's not to say they stopped fighting and bickering.Their original quarrel to vent their anxiety turned into a real toss because of fun.

Although the captain was a soldier decades ago, his natural sensitivity to team layout allowed him to quickly master the rhythm of teamwork training; Tony was willing to spend days and nights modifying the pair of smart glasses for him; Dr. Banner is good at many unexpected things, and he is not hesitant to share them with his companions; Black Widow will always provide the most reliable support to his teammates, and Hawkeye can be used to amuse at ordinary times, and will protect you in a long-range range during battle convoy.

These... are all good, experiences that Ouroboros has never had.Having a team of heroes who can fight side by side, they don't obey orders like the army once did, and it's often even a headache.But they can be trusted, they can communicate, and they respect each other's past and secrets.

However, he wants more. He wants to take the Winter Soldier away from Hydra, he wants to get the latest news from Hydra, and he wants to make Hydra pay back everyone's blood debt one day!Hydra, where the hell is the damn Hydra? !

But no one is willing to share the information with him. The information of S.H.I.E.L.D. has always been ambiguous. Every time the shadow of Hydra can be vaguely seen, it always dies for various reasons.Forget it, he already knew that Fury would not reveal his hole cards easily, but why didn't Bruce tell him anything?

He knew Tim's undercover in Hydra was going well, and he knew Bruce must have asked something out of Wishbone's mouth.James thought angrily that he was no longer a child. He joined the Avengers with a heart of revenge, just to be able to deal with Hydra.He was suffering the most, why did Bruce exclude him? !

He was temporarily dazzled by alcohol, or he just seemed to use the alcohol to find an excuse for himself.Impulsively, he picked up his cell phone and called home. The phone rang for more than ten seconds. It was Bruce who answered the call. His voice was now in an adult state.

"What's the matter, Jim?" The low voice made James' head dizzy even more.

"I want information on Hydra, what did Wishbone tell you? Well, damn it, I introduced him to you. Why do you have the information you get alone? It's not fucking fair." James As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke without hindrance.

If this funny snake is awake, he will definitely find a stone and kill him, and the complaint is all Hawkeye's fault!He used to "never say" dirty words!But unfortunately, he can't control his emotions at this time, he needs to vent.

After being silent for a while on the other end, Bruce asked calmly, "How much wine did you drink?"

"Team game night." Ouroboros said softly, his voice at the moment was coquettish like a little snake that just broke its shell, and he said extremely aggrieved: "You can't do this, Bruce, it's not fair .”

How about saying that a drunk is the most incredible creature in the world, and it changes into a model in a second.

However, being coquettish has no effect on Bruce, he said decisively and briefly: "I don't want to argue with a drunk person, call me when you wake up tomorrow."

"I don't!" Ouroboros suddenly raised the volume: "Don't try to hang up on me, or I'll call Tim, and if Tim doesn't answer, I'll call Barbara, er... If there is no answer, I will call S.H.I.E.L.D. radio."

Bruce's breathing slowed down for two seconds, as if he was restraining his temper. He smiled angrily: "Last chance, for the sake of your unclear mind, hang up the phone and go to sleep. Come to me tomorrow when you are normal."

"Maybe you just resent me? Resent me for almost killing you? Resent me for doing so many damn wrong things?" Ouroboros suddenly erupted, or maybe these things had been suppressed in his heart for too long, "When you put Get Jason out because he killed a few criminals, and now that I've killed so many innocent people, do you want to kill me yourself? Or lock me up forever? Because, damn it, I deserve it!"

"I deserve to die at the hands of the avengers, not to be an avenger. What if someone comes to me for revenge? I have no reason to beg for mercy, because murder is murder! The blood is on my hands, and what I have done can't be denied .But I don't want to be chased away by you, cut off from everything, and then have Tim tell me it's fucking for the best!"

"It's not, Bruce, it's not!!"

After venting, James realized that he might have yelled too loudly, the surroundings were quiet, and Bruce on the other end of the phone was silent, and he couldn't even hear the usual calm breathing on the other end.

Oh god, what the hell did he just say?What the hell is he crazy about?

"Jim, I can ignore some of your stupid words just now, I know what you want to say." Bruce's voice was still calm, but extremely serious and cold: "But joining the Avengers is also your decision."

"Since this is the case, you have to bear the consequences. You have chosen your side, you have chosen your team... Unless you tell me that you are just going undercover for the Avengers to find out the reality of S.H.I.E.L.D. Otherwise, your current identity is the Avengers member."

"You participated in the Great War in New York, and you announced in front of the whole world which side you were on. Even in the future, it is this group of people who will accompany you to continue to protect the world and fight against evil. I am indeed your adoptive father , and this home is always open to you, but when it comes to business, you are the Avenger first."

"And as an Avenger, what right do you have to ask us to share all the information? Even though S.H.I.E.L.D. and us are temporary allies now, the Avengers are not. The wishbone was indeed transferred to me by you, so from him The information obtained can be shared, but only if you identify yourself, not as James, but as Ouroboros."

"As a father, I want you to understand that your future as a hero will never be tied to Superman or Batman. Nor will it be tied to Red Robin or Red Hood."

James was silent, he didn't know how to respond now.Should he answer Batman's question, or should he answer Bruce's question...but he knows what the other end of the phone means.

Business is business, private is private.James will always be Bruce and Clark's adopted son.But as the Avenger, Ouroboros is not qualified to ask Batman and Superman to share the information they have obtained with him.

"I... think about it, and discuss it with you tomorrow." James said bitterly, then hung up the phone after Bruce gave a low "um", and walked back to his room with heavy steps.

Of course, don’t forget——

"Jarvis, the video and audio recordings just now are sealed."

"Use the highest level [-] clearance you have?"

"Yes, Level [-] confidentiality, name the document 'Introduction to Ceramics', if Tony doesn't ask..."

"I shall not mention it, Mr. Leighton."

"Thanks, Jarvis, and good night."

A pair of strong and gentle hands hugged the middle-aged Bruce from behind.

"Jim is sad?" Clark asked softly, "Why didn't you tell him?"

"Is my justification insufficient? He is not attached to our child, he now has his own team."

"But we are not against the Avengers." Clark continued to blow into Bruce's ear.

"There is no confrontation for the time being... Who can be sure about the future? Besides, Jim needs to understand this truth as soon as possible. He can't work for us and the Avengers at the same time, and he even has some small plans." Bruce said indifferently.

Clark hesitated a little: "Hydra may have someone lurking at the top of S.H.I.E.L.D. Are you really not going to tell Jim this information? Hydra will not let him go easily, nor will the Avengers grow up."

"I know." Bruce broke away from Clark's arms and walked to the computer screen, "Within a month, Hydra will definitely make a big move. Wishbone knows something, but his mouth is not so easy to pry open, which is Something he used to save his life. Tim is already looking, but digging too deep will startle some people, and now is not the time to tear everything up."

"So, still be patient?"

"It won't be anytime soon, we can't tell Jim, I'm not sure exactly who's on which side. There are also two senior S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the Avengers, I don't trust them. Hard to say if James will say Get out. He's blending in pretty well now, maybe too well. Easily loses his mind and guards." Bruce's analysis is as cold as ever.

Clark smiled and shrugged, "Maybe he's not that much like you in this regard."

Back then, Batman prepared more than one set of "contingency plans" for everyone in the alliance. He almost killed several alliance members that time, but Bruce still went his own way.After all, this is Bruce... the Bruce who will never let his guard down, never let his emotions override his reason for a long time.

Unlucky?No, luckily James isn't like him.
