[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

After lunch, Doctor Strange and her were very modest about who would send who back, and the argument ended with the end of the argument that they parted ways after leaving the restaurant.The matter of the multiverse still seems too illusory, and the most important thing for Audrey right now is to go to S.H.I.E.L.D.

She really wasn't making up a reason for coming to New York just to appease Peter—she had something to talk to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Half an hour later, Audrey sat in the reception room of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters in New York.She waited patiently for about 10 minutes before she saw a middle-aged man who was a bit bald and rushed in through the door.

"Ms. Lewis!" said the rushing agent with a warm smile, nodding and bowing, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Director Nick Fury is not on Earth at the moment, so if there's anything that might..."

He stopped, paused meaningfully, "Maybe you need to wait a little longer."

"Mr. Coulson, I have seen you." Audrey said with a smile, "I also know that Nick Fury has resigned, and now you are the actual director of S.H.I.E.L.D. The connection between Zhenglian and Avengers may be Closer than you think, so it doesn't have to be."

The enthusiastic smile on Phil Coulson's face disappeared immediately, and the veteran agent straightened up instantly, exuding a chilling aura that only those who have experienced many battles can show.Seeing that Audrey couldn't be dismissed easily, he walked up to her and sat down in front of her.

"So, Qi Girl, why did you visit S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Coulson looked up into her eyes and said slowly.

"Long story short, one question." Audrey said, "Why did S.H.I.E.L.D. transfer Pat Lawrence?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.Audrey stared at Coulson, waiting patiently for his answer.Coulson's facial expression remained unchanged. After a moment of silence, he said, "This is procedurally legal, and there is no need for S.H.I.E.L.D. to inform the Justice League of this."

"You asked some members of the Avengers to pick up the prisoners captured by the Justice League, and you expect me to pretend to be deaf and dumb?" Audrey smiled instead of anger, "No one knows the rules better than you. What does it mean to human beings, don't fool me with that official rhetoric."

It’s been a long time since S.H.I.E.L.D. transferred Dr. Laser. Audrey didn’t have much reaction at first, until she realized that S.H.I.E.L.D. really didn’t seem to have any intention of actively contacting the Justice League. come to your door.It's hard to explain, unless S.H.I.E.L.D. thinks it doesn't need an explanation, or they haven't figured out what to say yet.

"Doctor Laser is currently being held in Raft Prison." Coulson lowered his eyes and said, "I can't explain the reason to you. In the near future, agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will blockade and destroy the Hydra base on the outskirts of Dawn City, if you can cooperate with them ,I will be very grateful."

"I can cooperate with you." After hearing two seemingly unrelated things, Audrey understood what he meant, and her tone calmed down again. She said, "But S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to give me a promise."

"This matter is indeed confidential, so it is difficult to disclose it." Coulson said.

"No, I know what you are doing. So I didn't come here to prove anything, or to ask you to return the prisoners." Audrey said, "As for the rest, after your plan is successful, we will naturally know."

"Well, ma'am, I can assure you we're not going to hurt Pat Lawrence," Coulson said seriously.

Audrey stood up, and a hard drive appeared out of nowhere in her hand: "Of course I believe that you will not harm her, because you still need her help. The promise I need is: during the time Dr. Laser is being held by you, she will Will remain a prisoner forever in your custody...hope you will not allow her the opportunity to escape."

After finishing speaking, Audrey put the hard drive on the table and left the living room, leaving Coulson alone in silence.

Regardless, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s jail for super-powered prisoners sounds like it would be safer than the old Blackgate.She doesn't intend to pursue the matter now.

Audrey took out her phone and glanced at Batman's reply, only to find a few short words: "Come to Gotham now."

"I'm in New York." She typed a few letters wordlessly, "unless you say 'now' is dinner time."

"Today is Alfred's birthday." Batman replied to the message in a rare second, and Audrey guessed that he might just get up at this point.

"...?" Audrey couldn't help but pull the calendar that came with the phone suspiciously, and then replied, "Clark told me that Ah Fu's birthday is in August."

"It's today," Bruce replied firmly and curtly. "Damian is already making cakes."

"Did you invite Clark?" Audrey simply sat on the bench by the side of the road and focused on answering text messages.

"He said he would ask for leave in the afternoon."

"Barry?"

"Five seconds to go."

"Diana?"

"She will come."

"... Arthur and Hal?"

"They'll be here too," Bruce said, "and Victor."

"You know that no one would want to attend a meeting if Zhenglian was temporarily called today, right?" Audrey replied in capital letters, "So you just use this trick?!"

"Come here." Bruce replied with a short sentence.

Audrey was silent. She exited Bruce's chat page and clicked on Clark's.Her solid-eyed little reporter used a lot of capital letters in the chat box: "Bruce said I remembered Alfred's birthday wrong!!!!!!!"

Then there was another theory he convinced himself: "But it's also possible. I don't think anyone knows Ah Fu's real birthday. He never said it. Are you busy today, Xiaoli? Do you need me to pick you up?"

Audrey couldn't help laughing, and was about to reply.A gust of wind suddenly descended from a high place, and amidst the exclamations of passing New York citizens, Superman picked up Audrey on the bench, and flew into the middle of the clouds in a few seconds.

"I heard you laughing, Lily." Clark shook her shoulder lightly, "So I'm here to pick you up."

"That's good, so I don't have to drive two hours to Gotham." Audrey skillfully adjusted her position in Clark's arms, and poked his arm with a smile, "But I What about the car?"

"Hmm..." Clark frowned pretending to be distressed, and looked down at Audrey, "How about I push it and run back? Or fly back with it?"

Amidst Audrey's laughter, they flew to Gotham.

"The gift can only be made up next time." Clark, who had changed back to his normal clothes, pushed his glasses and whispered, "but I don't think Ah Fu will mind... Hello, Damian."

Holding a perfectly smooth cylindrical cake, Damian nodded towards them expressionlessly and walked towards the center of the lawn.

Ribbons and balloons were actually pulled up in the courtyard, and several tables and chairs were placed there.Barry was obviously the first to arrive. He was chewing popcorn non-stop at this time, and he greeted Audrey and Clark happily.

"Happy birthday, Alfred." Audrey held back a smile and said to Alfred, who was wearing a paper crown but was still standing by the table in butler clothes.She lowered her voice: "So today is really your birthday?"

"Unfortunately, I need to keep this a secret." Alfred replied with restraint and good humor, "but I would like to enjoy my birthday today."

Clark raised his eyebrows when he heard that, looked down at Audrey who kept laughing and said, "B is using this idea to get us to agree to an impromptu meeting?"

"I can't help it. We've had too many impromptu meetings recently." Barry, whose eating goal has been changed to biscuits, said aside, "I've asked the police station for leave three times, and this month's allowance is definitely useless—— "

"—Me too—" Clark echoed empathetically.

"—Fortunately, I don't need to be on duty today, otherwise I would be stuck on the edge of attendance." Barry finished speaking in one breath, stood up and patted Clark on the shoulder, and walked to the side to get a cupcake.

"Consider coming to work in my institute?" Audrey said affectionately to Clark, who also took leave today and left early, resulting in a dismal drop in attendance. "It happens to be recruiting recently."

"I think being a reporter is still suitable for me." Clark said firmly, no longer obsessed with the reality of overtime and absenteeism, "I don't believe that only me and Barry have the trouble of dual identities..."

"What troubles?" Diana walked to the table and sat down in a beige suit, and said casually.

"The conflict between the vigilante's identity and the real identity is always an annoyance." Audrey pinched a rose milk ball and said, "It's hard for me not to admire Iron Man's approach on this point."

"Ah, Tony Stark, I know him." Diana nodded. "It's brave to admit to the world who you really are."

"No matter what the ability is, there are always people we want to protect." Clark blinked and whispered, "I don't want to involve them in all dangers and conspiracies..."

"We protect human beings, so we should remember how to live as human beings." Audrey ate one dessert, then stuffed another into Clark's mouth, and said softly, "This is the dual identity." As necessary, Clark."

"That's right." Bruce, who appeared at the table at some time, said, "Crisis can arise at any time. So pack up and get ready for the meeting."

"...but the birthday party hasn't started yet," Barry said, chewing hard candy.

"The party is after the meeting," Bruce announced grimly, turning his head and saying, "Thank you for bringing Aquaman here, Green Lantern."

"You're welcome...he's just a little drunk," Hal said. "There's nothing you can do about it."

Arthur was wearing a sea soul shirt and burped when he heard this.

"Did you know, Clark?" Audrey followed a large group of casually dressed superheroes into the Batcave, and whispered to Clark, "I've decided to let Peter pass the application for the experimental assistant."

"Why?" Clark said, holding back a laugh.

"If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be going to New York today." Audrey quietly pointed to Batman walking in front, "If I don't see Doctor Strange, maybe I won't be forced to have a meeting...I want to pass his Apply, let Peter adapt to the postdoctoral work life in advance."

"I can hear you, madam!" Bruce said.

This meeting spent two hours discussing the concept of the multiverse known by the Justice League, and gave several solutions for different purposes of positioning.Finally, Batman made a serious summary:

"In any case, this is a bad omen. Therefore, before the location disappears, it is best for the members of the Justice League to avoid gathering together, in case there is no vitality left in the cosmic shock..."

"Ask." Barry raised his hand, "Then why do we gather together like this today?"

"...to celebrate Alfred's birthday?" Victor asked uncertainly.
