[Comprehensive British and American] Mage Wayne

After the misunderstanding between the two father and daughter was resolved, the young Caroline was finally willing to listen to Bruce's reasoning.

Bruce told her earnestly: "Xiao Ka, you should have a set of criteria for judging right and wrong when choosing people to serve by your side, instead of relying entirely on your personal preferences. If everyone knows that you are happy, you can stay,? Who? Do you still care about your own job? Would you like to see the maids slowly lose their bottom line in order to please you?"

Caroline didn't really understand: "But they listen to me very much, isn't that good?"

"It can only make you happy,? But it can't make you better. You're so used to listening to other people's flattery, you'll never find your own problems and can't accept other people's advice." Bruce is sure of this.

"Xiao Ka,? If you go on doing whatever you want like this? Do whatever you want, you will gradually lose your ability to judge and think. I hope you can think about the consequences of this before making any decisions. .”

He is trying to introduce to Caroline the concept of "thinking about the consequences of a thing", which is what she lacks most.

Caroline is not stupid, she is a very bright child.

She tilted her head and thought for a while,? It seemed to be the case.Once she wanted to go swimming by the lake for fun, but a maid stopped her on the grounds that the weather was cold, so she fired her.

Later, no one dared to persuade her again, but she developed a fever after sneaking up from the swimming pool, and her mother punished her by banning her from going out for a week.

At that time, my mother was very angry. She changed all the maids who served her, saying that they were not doing well, and they couldn't take care of people at all.

Thinking about it now, it turns out that she was also at fault for this matter.The water is cold, and it is common sense to have a fever if you go swimming. If only she had thought about it at the time.

The father had a good point.Caroline nodded in agreement:

"I know, I won't change maids casually in the future. They refute me,? Sometimes it's for my own good."

This is much easier to teach than 17-year-old Caroline, Bruce is very relieved.

He gave the little cutie who knew a little bit a kiss, as expected of his daughter.

For the rest of the day, Bruce floated by Caroline's side as she went about her daily activities, taking a closer look at the world.

Caroline's study schedule is very full, and there is almost no time for entertainment and leisure during the day.In the morning, there are magic theory courses, and in the afternoon, there are practical courses on alchemy and pharmacy. In the middle, you can only rest during meals.Even during lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea, there are female officers around her watching her movements, reminding her of dining etiquette at all times.

The body must sit upright, eat biscuits without crumbs, butter must not touch your mouth, soup must not make a sound, and the angle of cutting steaks must be picky.

Bruce, who was on the sidelines, felt that he was about to suffocate, eating something was so troublesome.

When he was a child, he still thought that Ah Fu was strict, but in comparison, the butler was so tolerant.

It turns out that only the breakfast in the princess dormitory can be arranged by herself. Once she enters the teaching time, she is restricted everywhere.

Bruce understood Caroline.If a six-year-old child is oppressed like this, if she doesn't redouble her wanton venting in her limited freedom, won't she be forced to become autistic?She just acted recklessly, and didn't develop other hobbies that she shouldn't have.

When Bruce thought it was time to let her go back to relax after dinner, he didn't expect that there would be an etiquette class, one of which was expression management.

Bruce: .

That calm expression is really a basic skill that he has cultivated since he was a child.

After the etiquette class, the day's study is not over yet.For a full-day course, there will be such things as "homework".

Bruce accompanied his daughter to recite magic spells, deduce the composition of slightly more complex spells, use experiments to restore the principles of alchemy learned today, configure simple potions...

Caroline is used to it, and the addition of points on the panel can only help her become more talented and smarter, shorten her study time, and there is no way to stuff all knowledge and abilities into her mind.The reality is not a real online game, just a little bit will do.

Bruce felt sorry for his daughter who had worked so hard at such a young age.

He asked, "Xiaoka, will you be tired like this?"

Caroline was dealing with the follow-up of the experiment, and replied without raising her head: "No."

"Then do you like learning magic and doing experiments?"

"It's okay, other things are more boring."

Bruce was relieved, as long as she didn't feel bored.

He also has no way to interfere with his daughter's study. If she is unhappy, he can only try to make her happy.

However, if he had the chance to meet the Empress, he still wanted to talk to her about Caroline's education.

Talented children should be nurtured well, but we should also pay attention to the healthy development of our daughters' body and mind, right?With the high-pressure course and the attitude of the empress, Caroline's heart will become more and more closed.

He would rather Xiaoka not be so good, but also want to see her grow up happily.

But thinking about what the maids said that day... His daughter is not only his daughter, but also the hope of the entire empire.The survival of the fittest among countries is extremely cruel. As the most talented new generation, Caroline must become the best one.

Even the serving maids are comfortable discussing these things, and Caroline must have grown up listening to them.

No wonder she always likes to say "the dignity of a mage", and loses her mind after making mistakes.Because in her subconscious mind, she must be able to solve everything perfectly.

There is no law of both ends in the world. If she wants to achieve world-renowned achievements, she will inevitably have to pay more.They only cared about her strength. As for her psychological problems and behavioral problems, in the eyes of others, they were common problems of geniuses and had nothing to do with it.

Bruce thought of another child without a childhood, Damian.The relationship between the two siblings is the best in the family, and Bruce once thought that Caroline liked Damian more than him.And it's not just because of Andrew that Damian looks at Caroline differently.

Was it because of the sympathy among the same kind... Bruce was helpless.

At this moment, Caroline finally officially ended her study for the day.The maids prepared the aircraft and prepared to send her back to the bedroom.

"What happened to what I told you to look for?" she asked.

Lei Tesha was uneasy: "Your Highness, we really can't find anything that can be used to make orc skins. Don't look for it anymore. It will be terrible if people find out!"

Making an orc's skin can be daunting just by the sound of it.The fur of animals is so good, the skin of orcs... This will definitely offend the orcs!

Once discovered, the princess will be fine, and those who serve them will only die.

Caroline wanted to scold subconsciously, but when Bruce glanced at her, she swallowed the words.

Woohoo, my father is so fierce.Even if he is just a soul now, his eyes are so scary...

"Okay, then go and choose the softest animal fur and bring it to my room." Caroline thought about it and changed her goal.

A cat orc can't do it, so just be a cat.

His Highness let her go so easily?Retesa, who thought she would be scolded, couldn't believe it.

"Can't get a single fur? Why don't you go?"

Caroline was a little unhappy again when she saw her standing still.

Lei Tesha woke up like a dream: "Your Highness, I will go now."

Accompanied by maids along the way, Bruce did not speak.After returning to Caroline's room, he asked:

"Xiao Ka, what do you want fur for?"

"Make a body for father." Caroline told him happily, "so that I can hug my father!"

She regretted again: "The human body can't be made, and I didn't expect that the beastman can't do it either. If I take a step back, I can only make a cat for my father."

Cat, cat cat?

Bruce was moved by his daughter's heart, if there is an entity that can be used for activities, it would be better than floating like this.But why is it a cat...

Thinking of the ridicule about "Cat Ear Man", Bruce fell silent.

"Perhaps, flying animals are also good?" He tried to rescue them.

"I think cats are the cutest, I like cats the most."

Caroline made no attempt to change her mind.

Bruce: ...

Just be happy.jpg

It is not difficult to be a cat, Retesa quickly found a piece of black fur.After Caroline touched the goods with her hand, she happily rewarded her with a gemstone.

Now that the cat skin is in place, the inner core is made of metal brackets.

Caroline generously used a high-purity magic gemstone as a power source to ensure that the cat can move freely—the mechanical puppet cannot eat, and it needs energy to move it.

Caroline, a beginner in alchemy, can easily complete the model assembly without the need for defense and attack devices.Then ask an attendant who specializes in sewing to sew the fur for it, and a mechanical cat is ready.

Caroline looked into her father's eyes, carefully selected a piece of sapphire with the closest color and luster, cut it and installed it on the cat's eye.

The maids all thought it was a little hobby of the princess, and all praised His Highness's ingenuity, and almost boasted that this simple novice cat was the only alchemy masterpiece in ancient and modern times.

Bruce looked at the body (?) he was about to settle in, feeling very delicate.

Sparkling blue eyes, soft black fur, erect cat ears, cute four short legs, and that slender cat tail...

This must not be known to others.

Satisfied with this, Caroline told Retesa to fetch her spirit stick.

"Your Highness, this is a birthday present from Marquis Linde. It is very precious..."

Lei Tesha wanted to persuade her to use it with caution. Isn't something like a spirit stick used for top-level weapons and props?Just use it here?A mechanical cat with no technical content?

"You can just take it, it's up to me how to use it, and my mother won't care."

The implication is that I want you to worry?

When mentioning the empress, Lei Tesha didn't dare to say anything more, and she hurriedly confessed her crime and left in a hurry.

Of course, Caroline wouldn't be so stupid as to actually use some spirit sticks in this place.However, if there is no cover of a little spirit, how can she explain that this simple mechanical cat has self-awareness.

Do the best if you want to do it, and you can't feel wronged that your father can only be a mascot.

After getting the spiritual wand, she asked all the maids to leave in the name of not wanting to be disturbed.Everyone thought that the spiritual lighting process required absolute silence, so they left without objection.

Bruce, who probably guessed what happened, patted his daughter's head:

"Xiaoka, thank you."

Caroline was still immersed in the excitement of giving her father a physical body, and she took out a very simple magic scroll.

"Although I haven't learned soul magic yet, fortunately, those nobles gave me various gifts. I took the time to sort out the private treasury, and I found it!"

Soul attachment is a relatively advanced and unpopular magic, and it can be specially given as a gift to the princess, its value can be seen.In the empire, no one dared to perfuse Caroline with fakes.

Caroline asked Bruce to place his hand on the mechanical cat, and she slowly unwrapped the scroll, scanning it first with her eyes, before uttering the obscure spell as fluently as she could.

After the last syllable, Bruce felt a strong suction in his palm.Then a white light flashed, and as the scroll disappeared, his soul entered the body of the mechanical cat.

This was originally a magic capable of invading the human body, but it was overkill when used on a mechanical cat.Even if Caroline's magic power level is not high, it is more than enough.

In Caroline's expectant eyes, Bruce stretched out his front paws to rub against her face, and was hugged excitedly by her.

The softest fur is really nice to touch, Caroline is happily sucking cat(?)

Bruce: ...

I always feel that my father's majesty has become fragmented in an instant.

Because there are no complicated mechanisms, the body of the mechanical cat is easy to adapt to.Fortunately, those two sapphires were just decorations, and he didn't want to experience vision through the gems.

Soon, Bruce, who broke free from Caroline's arms, quickly learned to walk, jump, and everything a normal cat can do, including controlling his tail.

"Father, do you like it?" Caroline smiled brightly.

"……like."

The mechanical cat can't speak, he can still use his own vocal cords.What is the principle?Bruce finds it amazing.

"And what would you like to be called?" Caroline asked. "I can never call a cat Father in front of other people."

Without thinking, Bruce said, "That's Tony."

It can't be called Bruce anyway, how can his name be the name of a cat?The name Tony is just right, it goes well with cats, they are short-legged.

(Iron Man in New York:?)

"Okay, Tony."

**

New York, Stark Building.

What was supposed to be a four-person meal has been upgraded to five—without Caroline, Natasha and Clint have joined.

At the end of the day, neither Tony nor Steve is an unreasonable type of person.Although they dislike certain styles of S.H.I.E.L.D., they are still friendly to future teammates with good attitudes.

As for Saul, he was heartbroken by his younger brother and felt very guilty for Caroline, so he could only fall into the arms of Captain America who usually chatted with him.

The captain is very nice, it is not his fault that he will comfort him, and he has big chest muscles to rely on, which he likes very much.

Anyway, the Avengers Alliance is not yet formally formed, and there is no secret between them that cannot be discussed, so Sol naturally took a meal by the way.

The four of them ate together, and they ate alone, which was too lonely.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was generally harmonious, only Tony had a grudge against Natasha who had cheated on him.If Bruce hadn't mentioned it suddenly, he wouldn't have thought of checking her identity, and he might have been completely deceived by her!

"Tony, I'm sorry for what happened back then." Natasha said sincerely, "You know, I can't refuse the job assigned by my superiors."

Down the steps, Tony's complexion improved.He proudly said:

"It seems that you, an agent, are nothing more than that, and I haven't discovered the clue yet."

"Have I made you suspicious?" Natasha asked.

This... Tony told her truthfully: "Bruce wanted to recruit you to be an assistant, so I did a detailed background check on you." Who knew that a big fish would be blown up.

Natasha thought of the vigilant eyes on the day she went to receive Mr. Wayne, and then thought of Caroline's identity information, and felt that she understood something.

Zhenglian sponsor, huh.

Steve asked, "Although business is not supposed to be discussed during meals, I really can't eat much. Ms. Romanoff, have you found any clues about Loki?"

"Just call me Natasha, Captain." Black Widow took a mouthful of mashed potatoes, "I understand your feelings, now finding Loki has become an urgent task for S.H.I.E.L.D. Not only have we set up automatic capture of surveillance images , and also arranged for some people to make unannounced visits in Gotham—it’s not that we don’t want to send more people, but that there is a limit to what we can do in Gotham.”

Gotham itself is almost as watertight as an iron drum, and this extremely xenophobic city makes it difficult for them to penetrate.Sending a few people over to look for clues is still within the tolerance range. If there are more than a few, it is very likely that they will be uprooted by the vigilant locals.

Batman didn't cooperate, he just said, "get out of my city".

"Okay, I see. Thanks for everything."

Steve replied flatly.

Captain America is going crazy for his sweetheart, Clint, who is quietly eating noodles, comes to a conclusion.

Look at his so obvious dark circles, maybe he hasn't slept until now.His calm tone sounded calm, but he might actually be exhausted.

God, if fans of the captains of S.H.I.E.L.D. knew about this, how distressed it would be!

Coulson Heartache.jpg

Caroline was taken away by Wayne's family. He couldn't see anyone, and the other party didn't welcome him to visit.There are no text messages or phone calls. The only thing he can do is wait.

Thinking about it in another way, Clint can't guarantee that he can calm down when faced with this situation.

He wanted to comfort Steve: "Captain, I got your shield back for you."

shield?Caroline did say that she wanted to make a shield for herself. When she asked about it last time, she said that she was almost done, and there was still one last step...

Steve was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered that Clint was talking about the shield that accompanied him to be frozen.At the very beginning, when S.H.I.E.L.D. seized it, he felt sorry for it. After all, it was an old friend he was used to.

Later, he felt that S.H.I.E.L.D. might not plan to return it, so he gradually stopped thinking about it.

"Oh, thank you." This was a pleasant surprise.

Clint:

"……You're welcome."

It seems that the captain is not very happy.

As the dinner drew to a close, Saul was the first to leave.He said that he was going to take online classes and at least get a diploma so that he could find a better job.

Everyone encouraged him one after another, wishing him success in his studies and graduating as soon as possible.

"Sol is really different." Tony sighed while drinking. "In the past, his eyes were on the top of his head, and he always looked down on the earth. Now he will take the initiative to go to school, and he will also sign up for online courses."

Although the smart butler is definitely helping to screen among them, it is already very advanced that he can generate this idea.

"Xiao Ka will definitely be very happy if he knows."

Steve tries to say the most poignant things in a lighthearted tone.

Tony:  …

Tony said patiently: "I'm also worried about Xiaoka, but don't make it look like you are remembering a deceased person, okay?"

"Look at yourself now. She's still fine, but who are you showing the stinky face of attending a funeral?"

To be honest, Tony had put up with him for a long time.It's not that Steve is the only one here who is worried about Caroline, but he is the only one who acts like Caroline is going to die in a second.

Although Tony is very reluctant to admit it, Zhenglian is better at the issue of the mysterious side.Take a look at the team members of Avengers. He is engaged in technology, the captain is a fighter/fighter, the black widow is a spy, and Hawkeye is an archer. They are all real players.

Sol, the only person here who is related to the mysterious side and who can be a candidate for the reunion in his heart (after recovering his divine power), even if he returns to the god position, he will only thunder and discharge. Can he be expected to wake up Caroline with a thunder?

You're lucky you don't burn people.

Steve doesn't want to talk to Tony, he's not even interested in fighting.

Iron Man has never experienced the smoke of war, so he will not understand his feelings.

On a battlefield where death could be lost at any time, coma and loss of contact were dangerous words linked to death, the kind that would subconsciously set off alarm bells when they appeared in his mind.

——He and many, many comrades-in-arms saw the last side of their lives before they even realized it.

When they meet again, it may be to collect the body for the other party.

"I'm stuffed."

Without too many words, after he finished speaking, he left in silence.

Clint seemed to say that he brought his shield, so let's just put it away, because it won't be used for the time being anyway.

The three people left looked at each other, and the embarrassment in the air gradually permeated.

Um, so now, Iron Man pissed off Captain America?

Very self-aware, Clint, who knew he was not good at this, gave Natasha a look.

God, say something to save the bad atmosphere now!

Natasha who was forced to open: "..."

"I guess, the captain may not have completely got rid of the war ptsd." The black widow played her professional expertise, "Caroline's coma brought him not only worry, but also stimulated him to recall some very cruel things .”

In fact, according to her observation, the appearance of Caroline is indispensable to the captain's ability to quickly adapt to modern society.

He is like a father (?) worrying about Caroline's life everywhere, urging her to exercise every day, and chatting with her to share daily life.When he has a clear purpose in life, the focus shifts from nostalgia for the past to the present.

And Caroline's coma and loss of contact suddenly made his life lose focus.

It's like a tall building piled up with building blocks. As long as the most critical piece is removed, it will collapse.
