[Comprehensive British and American] Shoebill stork is passing by

Bucky had experienced involuntary sleep many times in his life.

Every time I wake up, there is great pain and emptiness.

Those are the ones he doesn't want to recall.

This time, in the deep sleep, there was no coldness that he was used to, and the surrounding was warm and comfortable. Instead, Bucky had the urge not to wake up, and just wanted to indulge in the warmth infinitely.

Hesitating, struggling, and finally the soldier's willpower overcame his yearning, and Bucky woke up from the darkness.

Opening his eyes, he found that he was surrounded by pure white, and the snowflakes everywhere were completely irregular, not obeying gravity or wind, but rolling and dancing wantonly.

It was cold around, but he didn't freeze.

After rubbing back, Bucky realized dully that it was the manul clinging to his back.

The warm and soft touch is the fur and body temperature of the manul.

"...?"

Bucky was a little confused.

What made him even more confused was that when he stood up and began to explore the surroundings, he found that he was locked in a glass cage of about 30 square meters together with the manul.

Bucky got close to the glass and found that it was a control room outside, and there were researchers going back and forth around it.

Oh, and that damn octopus.

No, it's Hydra.

"Ow." The mantle uttered a short cry, and the wind and snow intensified accordingly, and the snowflakes captivated Bucky's vision, and soon he was sleepy again, surrounded by the wind and snow, he fell into the fur of the mantle, and fell into the snow. deep sleep.

The cattail tilted its head, stretched out its big tail, and covered Bucky's body.

……

…………

Almost on the same day, Stark received the news that Barnes was missing. Rogers could not go to find him because of other tasks, so he shared the coordinates with him.

It's not hard to see that Captain America doesn't trust the official search and rescue team.

Stark expressed understanding.

He couldn't get along with Barnes, but that didn't make him die.

Like Rogers, he distrusted official search and rescue teams.

What is even more doubtful is that Stark accidentally glanced at the duty records of his friends and found that all the more lethal Avengers, including the Scarlet Witch, were all on the field, and the fastest would not be able to return until three days later.

OK, he remembered.

Stark gritted his teeth.

Then he starts thinking about other people.

And quickly selected Brucey, the lucky kid.

……

…………

Wayne house.

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, the old butler Afu knocked on the door of Master Bruce's room.

Bruce pulled the blanket over his head.

Stark wasn't too polite, he got in directly, and was stunned to see a bulge next to Bruce's bed. Looking at it, he seemed to be a very nice Wayne girl?

Ok?

wrong.

Is this figure a bit strange?

Just, the special bulge in the middle is too high, the head is a bit big, but it is still acceptable, but there is nothing on the part that should be the neck and shoulder armor, and the part on the lower limbs is also...

It's not quite personal anyway.

What kind of horror dungeon are you doing early in the morning?

Stark admitted that he was stunned, unable to release himself from the petrification for a while.

Batman, who had just fallen asleep, only raised his head and looked at him with vigilance at the beginning. After realizing that it was Stark and Alfred, his vigilance immediately dropped. Brucey yawned, showing no intention of waking up. Pulling the quilt to hide, concentrating on pretending to be a coir coir worm in the quilt.

The old housekeeper who is watching the theater can't be counted on either.

In the end, the bump moved by itself.

The top half wobbled from side to side.

Oh……

It still has a neck.

Next, it turned its head a few times and made a vague "da da" sound. It seemed that it wanted to come out, but Brucey reached out to catch it and pushed it back.

"Sleep a little longer." Brucey muttered vaguely.

The old butler cast a disapproving look at the coir coir worm in the quilt.

"Coir raincoat insect" launched the quilt defense and remained indifferent.

Alfred: ...

Or Stark himself found out that something was wrong.

In the gap under the quilt, he seemed to see a claw that belonged to a bird?

And he is very familiar with the size and various shapes.

There is also a restraining ring on the foot, which is currently closed.

Stark: ...

"Stay dumb?!" Shouted! "How can you bring Daidai to bed!!!" He has never done this before!

Hearing the familiar voice in a daze, he arched hard, and a bird's beak protruded from the corner of the quilt. The hook at the top was like an exploratory organ. It rubbed left and right, like a small nose, exploring outside .

Stark put his hand on the side, and it came over with two strokes, arching up and rubbing against it.

Afterwards, the bird's beak continued to stick out, rubbing a little bit, and the body under the quilt was dishonest, and arched a little bit outward. Even though Bruce pushed back vigorously, it still couldn't stop the shoebill from getting out of the quilt.

"Da?" Shaking his head and shaking his hair.

It didn't stand up, it just came out with its paws bent, the back half of its body was still under the quilt, and it rubbed its head into Stark's palm to show its intimacy.

Bruce quit, and let out the boss's complaint: "Tony, leave me alone."

He also kicked his legs.

Stark: ...

So ugly at home?

He had to admit he was taken aback by the sight.

Looking at Dadai who was yawning and obviously wanted to go back to sleep, Stark put away his daze, and his expression suddenly became more serious than ever.

"Bruce, we need to talk about education."

It doesn't matter if Brucey sleeps like a cake, Stark doesn't care.

But what if it breaks Dadai?

No.

Absolutely not.

Only this is not negotiable.

Bruce: ...

Bruce had no choice but to get up resignedly, and went downstairs to prepare for breakfast after washing up.

"What are you crazy about?"

"See you're going to be late for work." Stark smiled.

Bruce: ...

It was as if Stark Industries could welcome its boss at this point on weekdays.

Bruce T drops a cup of coffee.

The Shoebill enjoyed being stroked beside Stark, opened its mouth slightly and yawned, shaking its head and drooping eyelids, obviously not awake.

"Da..." Sleepy...

Stark is also sleepy, but today is special.

He hugged the stork's head and rubbed it to calm its emotions. The shoebill stork was also very strong, but it clicked and hummed a couple of times. It didn't really mean that it didn't cooperate. It was still yawning and shaking. Wake up, eat two more dinosaur fish, and it will be another dazed one that is full of energy!

When the coffee started to whip Bruce's brain and the guy gradually sobered up, Stark explained why he had come.

"The situation at the Avengers base is not too good, so it's time for you to repay me."

"what do you mean?"

"It refers to the thing that asked you to join the Avengers." Smiling, "Actually, you are already a non-staff member of the Avengers, probably at the same level as that kid Kuaiyin."

Participating in the rescue as Batman is somewhat unfair, but if it is a non-staff member, although it is not so formal, it is much better.

Bruce silently stuffed the vegetable salad into his mouth.

His mind was sluggish early in the morning, and he couldn't even get up the energy to talk to Stark.

"It's not impossible." After serious thinking, Bruce chose to agree with Stark's approach.

Also, the sudden disappearance of Barnes is indeed a major event.

"But there is one question: where did he get the news about the Hydra base?" Bruce was skeptical about the source of the news, "If you can't solve the problem of Hydra infiltration, the Avengers are a sieve, and there are still too many holes. The unusable kind."

"About that, it's 'in progress'." Stark said he had nothing to do.

It was Rogers who was in charge of solving those problems, and who knew what the old popsicle was going to do.

So this time they decided to go undercover.

Stark stayed at Wayne's house today, and Batman briefly arranged things for Gotham tonight, and the two packed up their equipment and were ready to go.

Stark felt that one step was missing: "Don't you need to brush the Debuff?"

"No need." Batman smiled slightly, "The influence of the Shoebill Stork has increased, and now the debuff can not be refreshed for more than 72 hours. At the same time, the person holding the stork hair does not need to refresh, as long as the fur is not lost too far, it can be maintained forever Aged state."

Who is not a baby?

Even a clown.

If you are only 5 years old, you are just an ordinary child looking for candy everywhere.

good.

Stark thinks this is a good sign.

Batman is thinking about how long Daidai's ability will gradually become stronger, and how long it will last?What will happen in the end?The experience gained from mutants tells Batman that mutant abilities can grow almost infinitely, and the growth rate varies depending on the strengths and weaknesses of individuals.

Obviously the Shoebill should be considered a powerful individual.

And the "fool" that Lan Shan mentioned.

Batman couldn't help but care.

"What's wrong?" Stark noticed that the little friend didn't keep up.

Batman replied: "I'm wondering if I should bring two extra meals, there are no dinosaur fish in the Arctic."

"That's really a problem."

It took the two of them a while to carry a few boxes of dinosaur fish into the bat plane in an incubator, just in case the whalebill would be forced to starve if they needed to stay in the Arctic for a long time.

Daidai knew that this was its food, and imitated the posture of two humans when carrying it, and followed closely behind.

Shake the wings from time to time.

Also helped pick up the cover and the feed for the dinosaur fish - another small fish.

A total of three boxes of dinosaur fish, it brought ten bags of feed small fish.

Stark: "...Stay, they can't eat that much, do you have to eat a meal before you get on the plane? Or do you plan to raise them and eat them when you come back?"

Dadai tilted his head slightly, and didn't know whether he was thinking about a problem or fell into a daze after completing the task.

Stark waited for a while and couldn't wait for a response, so he yelled at the bird PP and pushed the whalebill onto the plane.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, if it doesn't work, Dad will fly to buy you takeaway on the spot, ang. If it doesn't work, we still have Superman delivery, don't hesitate."

"Da." Dazed for a second, he agreed.

Stark: ...Emotion was just playing dumb.
