[Comprehensive British and American] Backbones League

Salas watched Orm's joke with folded arms.

Probably because Aum saw his joke, or because he saw Aum's experience as if he saw himself, so he laughed extra happily at this time.

"I won't go back with you, Aum." The blond man said, he looked at Aum with a very sincere look, and told Aum that he was not cheating or perfunctory, Arthur was Truly like, "You can be a better king than me, King of Orm."

"Could it be that you want to abandon me...abandon us? Abandon the whole Atlantis?" Aum, who had always been calm, was very excited at the moment.

Salas just wanted to laugh.

Really, Salas really wanted to laugh, he found it very funny seeing Aum like that.

Orm seemed to be expecting something, perhaps because he hadn't lost hope, or perhaps because he hadn't realized the huge difference between himself and Arthur.

All this, Salas can understand.

Because he has been through it too, but he is luckier than Orm, he knows from the beginning what is possible and what is not possible.

It is possible for them to love you, it is impossible for them to give up their principles for you.

Salas never, well, he expected a little bit for once.

Then, reality slapped him hard enough.

Then he will not have hope.

So, he looked at Aum as if he saw the ridiculous self, and watched him being rejected by Arthur.

Arthur may love him and Atlantis very much, but Arthur loves the ground more, freedom more, and his heroic career more.

That led Salas to a joke—a joke that shared his sympathy.

When leaving Arthur's house, Aum's expression was terrified, while Salas' expression was very relaxed.

He even hummed a little song, as if sweeping away all the haze in his heart.

Aum was very angry about this.

He said sullenly, "Are you laughing at me?"

"You've seen my excitement too, Aum." Salas tilted his head, "We're even."

"You don't seem to be afraid of death?" Aum said coldly, "You are the ground person I hate the most, you know I can let you die."

Salas pointed to his neck: "This thing? Don't be kidding."

He is not afraid of death, if not because of Peter, he would not be subject to Aum at all.

But now he just wants to watch the excitement.

To be honest, seeing Aum become so angry, he even felt a little pity for him.

"Honestly, how about joining us?" Salas squinted his eyes and said, "I have a super awesome organization, and we are going to do something big. Don't you have a superhero brother? I dare say, your brother After seeing what we have done, he is absolutely angry and wants to tear you apart, then he will be full of you, isn't he?"

"what are you saying?"

"You still don't understand?" Salas' expression turned slightly cold, and he said in an almost cruel voice, "You want to never be able to achieve it, because they love their heroic cause more than you, more than me .They treat you nicely just because he's a nice guy, not because you're special."

Salas leaned forward slightly, his voice had a different kind of temptation: "Is the heartache? It's right to have a heartache. If it hurts, it won't hurt. Then you won't feel hope. Unfortunately, they don't It hurts...no, they hurt too, but they don't hurt like you."

"They don't hurt like you." Salas repeated in a low voice. When he said this, his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. Then he quickly raised his voice and raised a happy smile, " So come to make trouble? Let them feel your pain and understand your anger."

What's wrong with them?It's just that at both ends of their balance, neither Salas nor Aum can compare to some other things.

Salas always thought they were right, but so what?He's a villain, he doesn't need to follow the hero's manual, he doesn't need to think about other people, he's supposed to be selfish, crazy.

He doesn't even need to keep some boring bottom lines, it's tiring to keep those bottom lines.

Because he was a villain, no one expected him to do anything, including his father and Peter Parker.

No one had hoped for him.

"So, join us, I have a brilliant plan."

"Okay, Peter, there's no problem." Tony put the "gift" from Atlantis into a specially made box, and then patted Peter on the shoulder, "Be careful next time, don't do that again." It's a horrible thing."

"Thought you were dead, Papa Tony almost cried himself to death." Clint crossed his arms and said casually beside him, "Be careful, kid, do it again, his broken heart can't stand it."

"Go away." Tony scolded Clint in turn, and turned to drive him away.

"Sorry, Tony." Peter felt guilty. He knew Tony would be so worried, but at that moment he chose to lie to him.

He even saves Salas - a hunted criminal - from Tony.

Thinking of Salas, Peter felt a mixed feeling of guilt and gratitude in his heart.

He knew very well that Salas was a villain, but it was this free and crazy villain that made him feel pity again and again.

Yes, he pities Salas,

He sympathized with the insanity of Salas who could not be free, and he pitied the painful struggle that always surrounds Salas.

But he was very fortunate that Salas was able to make him feel sympathetic like this.

If it wasn't for not being free, he couldn't be what he is now; if he wasn't still struggling, he might have fallen into the abyss long ago.

But what is Peter in this story?

"Peter, Peter?" Tony called twice, and Peter came to his senses and hurried to see him, "What are you thinking? Did you meet a beautiful girl in a corner we don't know?"

Tony said jokingly, but his eyes were rare and sharp. Obviously, this was not what he suspected in his heart.

"No, no, it's nothing." Peter hurriedly said, "I just thought of Atlantis, and I think those people seem a little dangerous..."

Peter said the following words lower and lower, which is obviously the truth, but he just felt that Tony looked at him as if he understood everything.

To Tony, he told the second lie. He hid the existence of Salas, and only said that he was caught by the Atlanteans after falling into the water.

Peter thought this lie was too stupid, and he felt guilty, but Tony didn't ask any questions until the end, but smiled and said: "Those Atlanteans are really dangerous, and I'm going to list them in the next step." Into the defense object."

Peter secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt guilty again.

Tony reached out his hand and rubbed his head: "Be careful next time, I almost thought you were dead. Of course, it's also the magician's fault, and I don't know why he must say that to mislead I."

Suddenly hearing the name of Salas, Peter felt a little unnatural.

Hearing Tony's words again, he subconsciously answered: "He didn't want to hurt me, he just wanted to..."

In the middle of speaking, he stopped suddenly.

Not only because he realized that he had too many loopholes in saying such a sentence, but also because he noticed something was wrong.

"He said... I'm dead?"

By the time Peter arrived, Salas and Tony and Steve had been fighting for quite some time.

So he didn't hear how Salas lied to them.

The magician...why did the magician lie about his death?

Peter felt his heart pounding, and suddenly he had mixed feelings.

He seemed to understand, as if he knew what the magician was thinking.

"My, my, my..."

"It's mine, and it can only be mine..."

Peter couldn't tell what it felt like, he thought it was all absurd and ridiculous, but his mind was in a mess.

"Peter, Peter, you can tell me whatever happens." Tony looked at him with concern in his eyes.

"Tony, Tony..." Peter hesitated for a moment, he bit his lip, not knowing what to say, but he had to say, "If someone tells you that he wants you to stay by his side and hide, you meeting……"

Tony looked at him, understanding.

"I will advise you to stay away from him." Tony said without hesitation, "Too extreme love and hate, only lunatics can have, and often these people are extreme and unreasonable. No matter how much he treats you Eagerness, that's not what you think, just because he needs it, in any kind of emotion, he will choose to satisfy himself first, and then satisfy others, which is why we are always different from lunatics."

No, no, Peter opened his mouth.

The magician is not, he has been trying to restrain himself, he has... he has tried to think of others first, and he is thinking of himself.

He just couldn't do it, it's not that he didn't do it.

Otherwise, otherwise he would not have let me go.

Suddenly Peter felt sad because he knew Tony was right.

Whether you want to do it but don't do it, or don't want to do it at all, the result is the same.

"Peter, stay away from that person." Tony said earnestly, at this time he looked like an elder, or he has always been Peter's most reliable elder, but he never showed it, "He is not a The kind of person you'd expect."

Peter nodded, still feeling sad.

At this time, Clint, who had just been blasted out, came back again.

"The weird guy from Gotham came here suddenly and said he wanted to meet you." He said to Tony, "There is something wrong with him, about his crazy guy from Gotham."

"Those lunatics in Gotham should be dealt with by himself." Tony said viciously, "I have to argue with him about this matter."

Peter hooked his lips, feeling that when Batman came, Tony suddenly changed back to the Tony he knew.

"I'll go as well."

Tony hesitated for a moment, he sensed something odd about Peter about the villain in Gotham, so he wasn't sure if it was right to have Peter involved.

But he quickly made a decision—Peter should face this matter.

So he took Peter together and went to the hall.

"I heard that you went to a secret place, and you don't plan to come back after playing?" Tony blurted out a mocking sentence as soon as he entered the hall.

However, when he finished speaking, he found that the bat, which usually responded to him with a sneer or the same taunt, remained silent.

He even took off the mask that would never be taken off in Avengers Tower, revealing the handsome face that belonged to Bruce Wayne inside.

It's just that on that face, there is only Batman's exhaustion at the moment, not Bruce Wayne's chic.

When Tony arrived, his eyes were closed, he seemed to be resting, and he seemed to be thinking.

"What happened, Bruce?" Tony suppressed his voice, as if he was afraid of alarming something.

Bruce opened his eyes slowly, and he turned to look at Tony: "Have you seen the magician?"

Tony realized that Bruce was a little strange, and there was an imperceptible daze in those usually sharp and firm eyes at the moment, in the deepest part of those blue eyes.

But before he could answer, Bruce's gaze had already passed him and landed on Peter behind him: "Have you seen the magician?"

He didn't ask Tony that question, he asked Peter.
