A few hours ago, the underground of Wayne Manor, the Bat Cave.

Bruce was studying the Box of Omnipotence confiscated from Constantine in front of the workbench, Damian was staring at his father's broad and straight back with a complicated expression, Dick was leaning on the railing on the second floor with his arms folded, staring at the glass storage An inconspicuous souvenir in the warehouse.

The atmosphere was terribly frozen, but no one wanted to speak first.

The person who broke the deadlock was Ah Fu, who heard the whole process from the inside. At this time, delivering supper is just an excuse to inquire, "Master——"

"Look at the appraisal results, it will come out in about eight hours." Bruce took the box to an empty glass warehouse and locked it in. "I'll go to Metropolis after dawn."

Damian opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but finally kept silent.

Ah Fu put down the tray, not noticing that his fingertips were trembling slightly, "Is it Mrs. Mariana?"

Dick got out of the empty state and turned his gaze downstairs.

Bruce squeezed his brows hard, "...I don't know."

Time goes back to the present.

"It's not a coincidence that you came here," Clark sighed helplessly, "she's really not here."

Bruce was noncommittal. He was sitting on a fabric sofa that was incompatible with his own temperament, holding a cup of steaming instant coffee as a warming treasure in both hands, and his radar-like sharp eyesight scanned the entire living room from left to right, with a serious expression as if You are at a murder scene searching for traces of the crime.

Little Joe reluctantly went to school under Clark's urging, and there were only two adults left in the Kent house.

"She said to take a break and come back at night." Clark didn't care about Bruce's silence - Batman always did this - he picked up the fruit plate, pulled out the note that was pressed underneath, and handed it over, "Here, this is her message."

Bruce finally showed a little interest. He looked away, took the note, and gently stroked the water-soaked wrinkles with his thumb.

The paper is white paper randomly torn from a notebook, the font is elegant and gorgeous Spencer script, the brand of the ink cannot be discerned, it may be homemade, and you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

Ordinary people seldom pay attention to the beauty of the font and the layout format, just spelling it right, it is just a communication tool anyway.In Bruce's impression, apart from Ah Fu, only Jason practiced copying copperplate prints for a period of time because of his interest when he was a child.

Just one line of writing, Bruce stared at it for a long time, until Clark was so bored that he almost fell asleep, he stopped admiring, carefully folded the note into small squares with neat edges, and put it in his shirt pocket.

"You cleaned the living room?" Bruce asked.

Clarke: "...It's Adele. She couldn't sleep last night, so...um...she can cook, and she's doing well."

I didn't expect this, after all, both myself and Marianna are good at frying the kitchen.Bruce's eyes flickered, he nodded, and asked again, "Can I see her room?"

When he said this, the man's ten fingers resting on the coffee cup unconsciously closed, and the dark print on the wall of the enamel cup made his fingertips paler.

Clarke's eyes wandered, "You know, our family has never advocated this kind of behavior of sneaking in and visiting while the children are away... Ah, I'm going to the bathroom, please go ahead."

As soon as the words fell, Clark jumped high like a spring, and rushed around the sofa to the bathroom. His speed was astonishingly fast. If there was a third person present, he would definitely think that this gentleman had some unspeakable problems in some aspects. The problem.

Bruce has visited Kent House many times and knows exactly who the owner of each room is.The whole family only has Connor living in the Young Justice base, so...

He put down his coffee cup, got up and walked towards the southernmost small bedroom.

The door wasn't locked and opened with a twist of the handle.

This is a room facing the sun. The warm sunlight rushes in through the bay window and casts a little golden light on the white carpet. The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers. A string of round glass wind chimes hangs in front of the desk, and the window is half open. , the breeze blows, and the crisp jingle sounds from time to time.

An open loose-leaf account was spread out on the table, and beside the account was a round pearl that exuded a faint luster.

Bruce looked away from the pearl and down the center of the upholstered chair.

He knew why Adele dared not lock the door.

"Woo...woof!" The little golden retriever with three heads woke up, and his six eyes stared straight at the uninvited guest, showing a fierce look.

Peter never expected that Tony said that it was true to hold a press conference to announce that Spider-Man joined the Avengers.

Only no regrets.

Now that you have made a choice, you must move forward.

Besides, he really thinks it's fine now.

Noticing that Peter's face changed again and again, Adele stretched her arms and raised her hands in front of him, shaking, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Peter recovered and smiled shyly, "Let's go."

"Forget it," Adele sighed, and offered to give up for the second time. Compared with the previous hesitation, she was much firmer this time, "I think Tony must be very busy today, let's not bother him. "

Seeing the news of the engagement of Iron Man and Pepper on various websites, Peter thought that Adele was right.

"What are your plans for the future?" Peter asked, "We can go together if we drop by."

The boy was well-intentioned, but this polite question led to unexpected trouble.Adele thought about it for a long time following Peter's words, and was horrified to find that since she was rejected by Batman, her originally planned future had become a mess of broken porridge.

The most basic and important item of "approved by the father" has been denied by the other party, making progress difficult. Others... Is there any other necessity?

Just like playing a game, even if the branch lines bloom everywhere, but the stubborn main line NPC is hard to please, the final result is still only BE.

"Wait, wait," Adele said in a trance, "I have to think about it... this won't work..."

my power!My wonderful and bright future!Can't die at the beginning!

Peter's thinking is obviously not on the same line as Adele's. He only wonders about one thing - is my question so difficult to answer?

"Don't worry," Peter said thoughtfully. "Think slowly, it's not even noon yet."

Adele desperately needs someone to listen to her troubles and guide her, but Diana is busy saving the world, Tony is busy dealing with reporters, Clark is busy writing press releases, and this big boy next to him... Forget it, what is he? I don't know, it looks like an innocent and cute silly white sweet, it's better not to get him involved in the complicated relationship between man and God and family grievances.

After searching through the phone's address book, Adele couldn't find a suitable person to ask for help.

Why do I have so few friends, Adele thought aggrievedly, is there only one option left to write drifting bottles for Nemo?

It's hopeless.

At the critical moment, the savior makes his debut with cool steps!

"Peter, Adele?" Bucky walked around the corner, showing surprise and curiosity to the temporary duo in front of him, "You two are..."

"Bucky!" After seeing who was coming, Adele jumped up and waved her hands vigorously, shouting sweetly.Her face was beaming, her eyes were bright, staring at the full-grained ears of wheat like a bird that was about to die of starvation.

James Wheatshoe Barnes: "..." I was a little scared.

Finally seeing someone he knew and capable of managing, Peter breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Barnes, it's like this..."

Peter briefly explained the ins and outs of their meeting, and he suddenly paused as he spoke, realizing that something was wrong—he didn't even have the slightest doubt about Adele's words, was it because he trusted the Avengers Base too much? Security, or lack of vigilance?

"You actually rejected him hahaha, great job! We all said to talk to you first and discuss it, but he didn't, and I was sure you would accept it, but he was slapped in the face... He is very busy now, I heard the wind The coming media rushed through the gate like zombies." Bucky didn't care about Peter's distraction, he hugged the boy's shoulder and patted him affectionately, then tickled Adele, "Are there any arrangements for this afternoon? If you have nothing to do, follow me, it’s rare to come here and take you around.”

Peter was dragged away by Bucky in a daze.

Adele followed behind with her short legs.

The Avengers Base was funded and built by Stark Industries, and all the facilities in it are top-notch, including restaurants.

"I want rose-flavored ice cream balls," Adele stood on tiptoe, put her arms on the high marble platform with difficulty, and tried to stick her head out and said to the staff, "I want three!"

The young lady behind the takeaway window first saw a bunch of wobbly hairs, and then the hairs rose up, revealing the little girl's swollen cheeks. Adele's heart trembled immediately, and she shouted cutely in her heart, and at the same time, her hands He quickly scooped up six ice cream balls and filled the bowl to the brim.

Peter looked at his three small balls, then at Adele's six large balls.

He deeply felt the injustice in this world.

"I'll give you one, and I'll give you another." Adele used a small shovel to poke a ball of ice cream into Peter's and Bucky's bowls respectively, "Oh, who made me look good."

Peter felt embarrassed to eat from the girl's hand, but seeing Bucky eating with peace of mind, he thanked him and accepted it.

"Tell me," Bucky said vaguely while biting his spoon, resting his chin on one hand and tapping the table lightly with the other, "Why are you so sad?"

Peter looked at Adele curiously.

"I found the pearl," Adele poked the ice cream ball with a small spoon, and poked a hole. "Robin picked it up, and Batman gave it back to me."

"That's a good thing," Bucky applauded, "and then?"

"Then I confirmed that he is my father." Adele slumped her shoulders in frustration. If she had cat ears, she would have limply lay down on her head at this time, "but he doesn't want me."

Peter froze as he scooped the ice cream.

Wait, what did he hear?The key words are not omitted in the middle, right? !

"This is not good, Tony will fight with someone who doesn't want you." Bucky sighed, "How did he refuse? Just say it straight?"

"No... I didn't let him say it," Adele lay face down on the table and put her arms around her head, her voice sounded muffled, "but that's what he meant! He was silent for a long, long time , I can see it! So obvious!"

Peter didn't know what was going on.

"You're wrong. Language expressions can't be absolutely accurate, let alone subjective feelings." Bucky patted the top of Adele's head, feeling good, and rubbed it twice, "What if he Was he too excited to say it in time? You should at least give him a chance to finish."

"Give him a chance, and I won't have a chance." Adele turned her face sideways, revealing one eye, "I asked him to think about it first, and then ask in two days. How many days do you think the 'two days' is? suitable?"

Peter continued to be confused.

"According to what I know about Batman, you don't need to worry about the next thing." Bucky said lazily, "He will check your details thoroughly—"

"I don't know if your human's paternity test has any effect on me," Adele said annoyedly, "and there is one more thing..."

She bit her lip and said softly, "My mother left him 17 years ago."

Peter: "..." I know too much, will I be silenced.

"What's the matter?" Bucky showed indifference at first, but in the next second he had a sudden insight, and the expression on his face suddenly became weird, "Uh... I would like to ask, how old are you?"

Adele was expressionless, "16 years old."

"You are at most 12 years old," Bucky was full of doubts. "Steve was as thin as a stalk when he was 16 years old. He was the shortest person on the street, and he was taller than you are now."

"My mother sealed half of my power, my age decreased accordingly, and part of my memory was lost." Adele explained, "I forgot to tell him last night."

Bucky expressed deep sympathy, "If you don't say the most important thing, tsk tsk..."

"What should I do!" Adele tugged at her hair with both hands.

"It's bald, don't talk about it," Bucky moved back the plastic bowl that Adele pushed away, and stuffed the spoon into her hand, "It's not a problem, eat two more ice creams Ball, you don’t have to worry about it when you’re full.”

Adele had already eaten twelve ice cream balls when Tony came to find her.

"I can't let her eat anymore!" Peter whispered disapprovingly, "I'll catch a cold!"

Ignoring Adele's protest, Tony put the plastic bowl away and held it high, "Who bullied you? You can hang a water bottle with your mouth pouted."

Adele bounced and tried a few times, but she couldn't reach the plastic bowl. She stepped on Tony angrily, "You! It's you!"

Bucky explained briefly, and added his personal opinion, "I think she misunderstood."

"I think your ideological awareness is very low, you should face us," Tony said sternly, he poked Adele's soft cheek, tried hard to restrain the corners of his mouth, and hinted frantically, "It's not that he doesn't want you, It's you who don't want him anymore, open your clear and bright eyes and take a good look around, there are more suitable candidates for an excellent father than him!"

Bucky: "..." I knew it!

He rolled his eyes, "A person like you who cheats ignorant little girls with private goods will be arrested sooner or later."

Tony threw the ice cream scoop at Bucky's face.

Bucky dodges sideways, tossing back the empty plastic bowl.

Before a bigger war broke out, Peter acted quickly, shot out spider webs and confiscated the murder weapon.

I'm just an ordinary 17-year-old boy!Why do you want me to bear the burden that does not belong to this age!

Peter was very tired.

"Let's go, I'm engaged today, let's celebrate!" Tony patted Peter on the shoulder first, and then picked up Adele who was squatting by the table with mushrooms, "Introduce Pepper to you, she loves you so much Sweet little girl."

"What does she like?" Although Adele was depressed, she still remembered being polite. Tony helped her a lot, and she should send her blessings no matter what the situation was.

Tony has already heard from Diana that Adele gave Superman kryptonite, and he has a deep understanding of her level of thunder, so he doesn't have any expectations, saying that he can give anything except strawberries, and Pepper Strawberry allergy.

"Is that so..." Adele thought thoughtfully.

The other members of the Avengers have already left early to set up the banquet.

Bucky drives Peter, Adele goes with Tony.

Pepper really liked Adele very much, she hugged her warmly and kissed her forehead.

"Where did you get it from?" Little Pepper bent down, her gaze was at the same level as Adele's, "Honey, you are the most beautiful little girl I've ever seen!"

"You are a good-looking big sister." Adele grabbed a dark blue gift box from the void and handed it over.When she said the next words, she changed her tone, twists and turns, tactful, as if she was singing, and it was a beautiful tune that she had never heard before, but sacred and ethereal, "You will be happy forever."

Little Pepper gently touched Adele's head, she smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing."

"It would be nice if I could turn around." Tony pretended to sigh, "Just don't follow me."

Adele grimaced.

"Tony," Little Pepper took a deep breath, "this is..."

Ms. Pepper Potts, as the CEO of Stark Industries, has traveled all over the years, has seen a lot, and has seen billions of dollars flow through her hands. She treats money like dirt...but she is still scared.

Adele's gift was a rough orange-pink sapphire that was a circle larger than a pigeon's egg. It was transparent, pure and flawless, and was initially estimated to be worth more than [-] US dollars.

Tony wasn't that surprised. Adele even had kryptonite, and other gems were nothing compared to it. "Where did you find it?"

"Daisy picked it up when she was traveling in Sri Lanka. I have a lot here, so I picked the biggest and best-looking one," Adele said, "Daisy is the swan that accompanied me last time."

Tony: "...that's Lily, you can't remember her name at all."

Adele complained in a low voice, "There are so many swans, they all look alike, who can remember?"

When the car drove to the downstairs of the Stark Building in Manhattan, Adele saw the crowd of people outside through the glass window.

There is a sense of horror in the siege of zombies.

"Why are there so many?" Pepper frowned, "Didn't you notify the security?"

"This is already a result of the evacuation," Tony said, "Come on honey, I'm going to let the world know we're together."

Little Chili couldn't laugh or cry, "Did you forget that Adele is still here?"

Pepper also saw the news about the "illegitimate daughter". Of course, she knew that Tony had no children, and Adele was not their child—although she hoped it was.

Adele sat obediently between Tony and Pepper, with a lollipop in her mouth, and a round lump bulged on the right side of her cheek.

Hearing her own name, Adele blinked blankly.

A light bulb flickered on in Tony's head.

He had an idea, the kind that would piss off Bruce Wayne.

My intuition tells me that something is wrong... Are there too many people outside?
