[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

"You said that the candidate for the assistant engineer of the laboratory has not yet been determined?" Audrey said with some surprise, and took a stack of documents from Pix Winkle.

She was leaning on the window sill with a happy expression, bathed in the sunshine all over her body.Pix watched her carefully as she flipped through the files.Audrey looks in good spirits, wearing a tunic dress, she hasn't lost weight; her complexion is still healthy, her eyes are bright, and she doesn't seem to be recovering from a serious illness.

You know, although the young lady in charge of the research institute may not come to the office every day before, but there has never been such a situation where there is no news for several days in a row.Fortunately, she quickly told someone that she was unwell, and it was temporarily inconvenient to contact the outside world, which made the researchers feel at ease.

"I remember a young man named Peter Parker during the interview before. Why didn't I see his profile?" Audrey asked casually after flipping through the profiles of those candidates.

"Who?" Pixar said confusedly, "That's all the candidates, Audrey."

Audrey suddenly raised her head from the paper and looked at him sharply: "You don't remember him?"

"I may forget who I interviewed, Audrey." Pixar hesitated, but said firmly, "But the information will not be wrong. We accept electronic resumes and paper resumes at the same time. The information here is in addition to resume verification There are also written test records and interview records, I have read them several times when I came here, and there is indeed no one you mentioned."

Audrey bit her lower lip unobtrusively, and she frowned, her expression looked like she was in some trouble.

"If you're too tired, why don't you go back today?" Pixar said understandingly. "The deadline for the project is still quite a while."

Audrey raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile on her face.At this moment, the assistant probably suspects that she suffered from memory disturbances during her serious illness, or simply suspects that she has a mental problem, which is understandable... no wonder.Audrey looked at Pixar's worried expression that she thought was not obvious, and suddenly wanted to make a joke: "Thank you, I will, Leslie."

"My name is Pix, and Leslie is my sister!" Pix said in shock, "God, Audrey, are you really okay?"

Finally, Audrey walked out of the institute with her hands in her pockets.

She took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Peter.Then, her face completely sank: Peter's phone number disappeared from her address book.His social account also evaporated out of thin air, and there is no trace of it on the Internet.Her finger lightly tapped a not-so-obvious circular pattern on the edge of the screen, and the phone page began to perform a complex search—but there was still no result.

Audrey paused in place, hesitating between going to the Avengers to ask Iron Man and going to the Batcave to find Batman.In the end, it was obvious that Batman's unjust words had an effect, and Audrey decided to go to Bruce without much thought—she still remembered the monsters that ran out of the Hydra base on the outskirts of Dawn City.Although she didn't see the relevant news, she was a little relieved, but Peter's abnormality made people have to pay attention.

She simply turned her head back, climbed up the fire escape on the outer wall of the institute, and jumped to the roof with a twist.She stretched out her hand to feel the direction of the wind, and turned the bracelet around her wrist.Thanks to The Flash for giving her the inspiration to compress and store the uniform, she finally didn't have to wear the uniform under her clothes in summer. Thinking about Clark wearing a long-sleeved shirt in summer, I really should be thankful for Kryptonians that their bodies are not afraid of cold and heat.She pressed down the goggles, and her figure pierced into the sky like a sharp sword.

Her purpose is clear. Ten minutes later, Audrey landed slowly outside the gate of Wayne Manor, rang the doorbell, and waited patiently for a while.

Sure enough, Alfred wouldn't keep her waiting for too long.The meticulous housekeeper smiled and opened the door. Before he could speak, Audrey warmly gave the old man a hug: "I heard that you have asked for leave for me and Clark during this period, thank you so much , Ah Fu! If you weren't careful, I'm afraid the police would have come to your door."

Alfred then stroked her back very warmly: "It's nice to see you all back, Miss Audrey."

Audrey belatedly realized that she should bring a gift to the old butler, so she had to make preparations next time she and Clark visited the door.Alfred led her into the hall, and Audrey asked, "Where's Bruce?"

"The master came back suddenly last night to deal with the accumulated affairs, and he just fell asleep half an hour ago." Alfred said gently, "If you have anything urgent, I will wake him up for you."

"It's not particularly urgent...but it's still troublesome." Audrey said with a smile, "I'll go with you, Ah Fu, so I don't have to force Bruce to get up."

Of course, Alfred didn't object. Although this kind of behavior was slightly impolite, the butler humorously said that it was "for the sake of the master's sleep", and he happily led Audrey to push Bruce away silently. bedroom door.

This seemed to be Audrey's first visit to Bruce's bedroom.Perhaps not for the first time; she recognized the heavily-draped window, the floral wool rug.It’s just that the window in her memory was covered with winding ivy, and the neglected carpet was dilapidated, old, and full of dust... Thomas opened the small bedside table in the room, and took out a book from the bottom with great care. Photo album, open it for Audrey and Carl.

The little boy in the photo has soft cheeks, sleeps soundly in the pillow with his eye sockets closed, with a sweet smile.Now that angelic little boy has grown into a two-hundred-pound man who still likes blue sheets.

I'm afraid there are only a handful of people in this world who can bear to disturb Gotham Baby's waking dream after seeing his handsome face frowning slightly in his sleep, but the other two people in the room happen to be among these people.

Alfred gracefully pulled the curtains aside, and the sun shone directly on Bruce's face.Bruce frowned in boredom, turned his back to the sun, and resolutely defended his rare sleep time.Standing on the side of the bed, Audrey bent down and stretched out a hand unceremoniously, pushing Bruce's head back.

"Give me another 2 minutes, Ah Fu." Bruce whispered.

"Please wake up, Master Bruce." Alfred said with a smile, "Miss Audrey has something to ask you."

"Tell her to find Batman." Bruce fooled, still trying to turn over to hide from the sun, but Audrey persistently turned him back.

"Do you need me to wipe your face with cold water, sir?" Alfred said kindly, his expression unchanged.It can be seen that the master and servant are obviously used to fighting wits and courage in getting up, at least judging from the action of Bruce kicking and sitting up when he was shot by a bullet in anger, he is very skilled.

"..." The bleary-eyed Bruce turned his head and saw Audrey standing beside the bed, he was obviously silent for a moment, looked at Audrey and said, "You'd better call me if you have something urgent..."

"Do you know the whereabouts of the monsters we fought at the Hydra base?" Audrey said seriously.

Although Bruce looked a little sluggish with the quilt on his face, his words still showed excellent order: "I stayed up all night last night mainly to follow up on this matter. First, the good conclusion: they have been resolved Where did they come from, they were driven back to where. Then there was the bad one: those hydra counted one by one, and they all ran away. After all, no one could clean up for us in Dawn City at that time. But the Avengers said no We're worrying about that, I think S.H.I.E.L.D. might be doing another internal cleanup—"

He stopped talking suddenly, and glanced at Audrey suspiciously, probably having managed to break free from sleepiness: "You don't look like an 'angry girl' today? What made you think of looking for me at this point?"

The words "at this point" were bitten down forcefully by him, and the words were correct and cadenced. I think Mr. Bruce Wayne is very excited to wake up... Audrey rushed to the research institute, but there was no time. Taking off your colored contact lenses may indeed be "less angry".But she naturally wouldn't argue with the little angel Bruce who just woke up, but asked, "Do you remember who Spider-Man is?"

"Peter Parker. Could it be that you were the one who didn't wake up instead of me?" Bruce put down the quilt and hugged the pillow instead.Alfred suppressed a smile and pretended he was studying the stain on the glass in Bruce's bedroom window.

"Sure enough, you still remember." Audrey said, "but the traces of his existence have disappeared. Don't look at me like that, Bruce, I asked BEE to retrieve his information. Birth records, kinship, medical records, medical records , proof of enrollment, awards...all records that could have existed on the Internet are gone. I guess that even includes paper records, because my resume there is also gone. I can't reach him, it's like this guy never Nothing like it ever existed.”

"Have you contacted the Avengers?" Bruce said, frowning, looking fully awake. "Also, what did you ask to retrieve his records?"

"Not yet, I'm not sure what's going on... What if they have any plans?" Audrey said blankly, "Bee, say hello to Bruce."

"Hello, Mr. Wayne." Audrey said suddenly, pushing the goggles on top of her head, "I'm BEE."

Bruce looked at Audrey without a word, but she chose to pretend not to understand his eyes: "Do you think I should contact the Avengers? My instinct tells me that this is a bit weird..."

Bruce was silent, he was thinking about what Audrey said just now.He has no doubts about what the Avengers will do against Hydra.Because he knows that these two organizations have been fighting endlessly, and they also have abilities beyond ordinary people's imagination.But let the traces of a person's existence completely disappear?This is not like superpowers or technology, but more like some kind of magic, or higher-dimensional power, which gave him some not-so-good memories and associations.

"If it's the worst case I think, I'm afraid you won't get the result if you ask them..." Bruce said slowly, his tone gradually sinking.He was silent for a while.Then, Bruce turned his head to look into the void, and said something unclear: "The Justice League has only left for less than five days. How did the earth have another big crisis that could endanger the universe?"
