The Princess Diaries [Comprehensive British and American]

Adele felt a strong festive atmosphere in New York. Almost every store was decorated with Halloween elements, such as pumpkin lanterns of different sizes crowded together on the window sills, and cute white ghost figures hanging from the ceiling. A spider doll spinning a web in the corner, a witch doll riding a broom and wearing a pointed hat...

In contrast, Gotham City is a bit cold and miserable.

Tony: "Have you been shopping in Gotham?"

Because he was biting a strawberry-flavored lollipop, his voice sounded muffled.

People came and went on the road, most of them looked in a hurry, almost no one noticed the existence of Adele and Tony.

Although the faces of these two people are the focus of bright colors no matter where they are placed.

Adele put her hands behind her back, lowered her head, and seriously danced plaid. The butterfly hairpin Tony bought for her was clipped to the tip of her hair, rising and falling with her movements.

"I went shopping and helped a delivery man who was beaten up to deliver food. It was a very interesting experience."

The corner of Tony's mouth twitched, thinking that it's no wonder you can't feel the festive atmosphere. It must be extremely desolate to find any serious and reliable businesses near the streets where robberies frequently occur.

"...It's really interesting. Stop thinking about it? Gotham really isn't a livable city."

"What are you thinking about? I don't live in Gotham, I'm temporarily living in Metropolis."

Adele turned around and bounced back one frame at a time. After jumping twice, she suddenly stopped, maintaining the independent posture of a golden rooster and standing firmly under the streetlight.

"Wait, speaking of which, I remember my mom seems to have a property in Gotham."

Tony crushed the candy with a "crack" and threw the plastic stick into the trash can.

Not far away, two huddled young ladies kept looking at Tony, and seemed to recognize who he was. Tony raised his eyebrows and smiled, and waved at the girls generously, causing a short scream.

“House prices in Gotham are not high,” he said.

Ordinary outsiders would not think of moving to the crime capital that is famous all over the world.

Adele trotted back, sat down next to Tony, and used him to block the wind. She lowered her head and rummaged through the bunny bag.

"The location seems to be near Wayne Manor, but I went to Wayne Manor to live for two days before, and I didn't find a second manor nearby?"

The girls hesitated for a long time, and finally got up the courage to come over and ask Tony for a group photo.

Adele moved to the side and out of the open space, thinking that these two young ladies could see me and Tony through the barrier, indicating that they have a high affinity for magic.

After snapping a few photos, the girls bid farewell politely. Before leaving, they said to Tony: "Mr. Stark, your daughter is so cute!"

Tony thought so deeply, and he showed a smug smile, "That is."

Adele took out a small card from her bag and held it in her mouth. She raised her head and asked puzzledly, "Who is your daughter? They seem to have seen it before, but I don't know."

Tony suppressed a smile, put his hands on Adele's shoulders, pushed her upper body to turn [-] degrees, and made her face the glass window of the shop on the street, "You will find out by looking in a mirror."

Adele met her own shadow reflected in the glass. She was puzzled at first, then stunned for a moment, and finally realized.

"...Who is your daughter!"

Tony was chased and hammered down the street by Adele, and the little girl was so angry that her cheeks swelled into pufferfish.

In the end, the two stopped outside a candy store. Tony supported the wall with one hand and pulled the card from Adele's mouth with the other. "What is this? Why do you keep holding it?"

There is a picture printed on the back of the card, which tells the story of Aphrodite's birth in the sea. On the front, it is a playing card with the Queen of Hearts on it.

"The key to the gate of the villa." Adele took the card back and put it in the pocket of her jacket. "Mom said that with the key, you can enter the fairy tale world."

"It's so amazing," Tony raised his eyebrows, "Will you take me to see it if you have a chance?"

"No problem," Adele patted her chest, "but I have to wait until I find out where the house is, I forgot the exact location, amnesia is really troublesome—"

Adele's voice suddenly paused.

Tony: "Why aren't you talking?"

"I remembered something," Adele gasped lightly, her expression changing again and again, she grabbed Tony's clothes and clenched her fingers tightly, "Last night he clearly admitted my identity ! Why hasn’t the seal been released? It’s been almost a whole day!”

"No, I have to ask." Adele's mobility is super strong, she does what she says, she rolls up her sleeves and prepares to be a street painting space door.

"Wait, wait!" Tony hurriedly stopped the little girl, "Don't be so ostentatious on the street, at least go back first."

Adele didn't care much, "They can't see me."

"I said why so few people came to say hello to me tonight," Tony muttered in a low voice, "That's so boring! You are so beautiful, you have to let the whole world appreciate your beauty!"

Adele felt a little speechless, "Shouldn't you be too ostentatious?"

Tony showed a serious expression, which made him look very reliable, "This is not publicity, it should be taken for granted."

Adele was originally very smart—after all, she was Batman's daughter—but Aphrodite's seal cut her IQ by more than half, and Tony launched a powerful mouth escape skill, and finally Adele lived up to expectations The ground was limped by the flicker, and the "barrier" was lifted in a daze.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the moment the "barrier" dissipates, its effect is equivalent to throwing a flash bomb into the crowd without warning.

The whole street is boiling.

Fans of Iron Man came screaming, and Adele's fans followed closely behind - it doesn't matter if you haven't seen it before, anyway, love at first sight only takes one look.

Facing the turbulent flow of people, Tony began to calm down, "Is this because of you?"

"How is it possible!" Adele immediately blamed her, "Of course it's because of you, you don't even know how handsome you are!"

Tony has never been so humble, "I know, but I'm not so handsome, it's all because you are too beautiful!"

Adele shook her head frantically, "I'm just a 12-year-old child, how can I compare to you as an adult and charming!"

"Didn't you say you are 17 years old!" Tony picked up Adele and turned around and ran away.

"That's what I lied to you," Adele said very seriously, "I don't look like I'm 17 years old!"

In the end, the two escaped from the siege - Tony activated the armor and flew high. No matter how anxious and eager the fans were, they couldn't break through evolution and grow wings in a short period of time, so they had to look at the sky and sigh.

"That's why you two fled back in such a mess?" Bucky rolled over on the sofa with a smile covering his stomach.

"Where is the embarrassment?" Tony raised his hand and pointed at Adele, "Isn't this still a radiant little angel?"

"It's useless for you to praise me, I don't believe your nonsense anymore." Adele was furious, "I didn't run away! I just didn't want to go shopping in a normal way, and then came back in a normal way."

Natasha answered: "By the way, I made an ordinary headline."

Clint continued: "It just so happened to be seen by a normal dad again."

Sam clapped his hands vigorously, and concluded, "An ordinary father came to visit in a hurry."

As soon as Sam finished speaking, a virtual light screen popped up in front of Tony, with Bruce Wayne's high-definition ID photo in the center.

The smart butler at Stark Tower indicates that Mr. Wayne is visiting.

"... so fast, riding a Superman?" Tony whispered.

Captain America smiled, grabbed a strawberry from the fruit plate in Natasha's arms, and stuffed it into Tony's mouth.

Bucky pressed a huge cushion against Tony's body, covering almost his entire body.

"Hurry up and bury this person who destroys other people's family harmony!" Clint followed suit.

"Do you have any ideas?" Steve looked at Adele gently.

The little girl used her fingers as a comb, and carefully combed the long hair that was blown tousled by the wind. She took a deep breath, puffed up her chest, and walked out firmly, "Yes, I have a problem that I need father to help me with." answer."

In the reception room of Stark Tower, Adele and Bruce sat on both sides of the long table. The two looked serious. It didn't look like a serious father-daughter recognition scene at all. Those who didn't know it thought they were in a business negotiation.

Clark, who huddled next to Bruce, was the little assistant who diligently recorded the content of the meeting, although his size had nothing to do with "small".

Tony, who is sitting next to Adele, plays the role in his true colors, showing his bossy demeanor in his lazy and relaxed posture.

Clark cast a kind gaze on Tony: what are you doing here?

Tony crosses his arms: you're not there.

Clark was confident: I'll send Bruce off!

Tony raised his eyebrows: Is being a driver so proud?

You and I exchanged eye contact for a long time before the two realized that the surroundings were too quiet.

The inexplicably stagnant atmosphere seemed to grab everyone's voice.Clark held back for a while, couldn't take it anymore, stretched out his long legs and kicked Bruce.

"...The next time you go out to play, let me know in advance, don't be silent and you will disappear." Bruce finally spoke, with a little helplessness in his tone.

Clark: "..."

Adele was taken aback, "I didn't come out to play, there is a problem bothering me, I need to find someone to discuss it."

Tony: "..."

"Ah." Bruce nodded, he didn't know what he thought of, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile, looking very reluctant, "Can you tell me?"

Clark & ​​Tony: "..."

We are so worried, look at you two!

Adele!When you coaxed my wife, you used sweet talk and gave gems, and you let her greet you with care and care in one afternoon, and you even wanted to set off fireworks to make you happy!Why change to your own father, you can't even speak!

Tony hates iron but not steel.

Bruce!When you lost your memory, you were so sweet that you played teaching games with the little girl in a serious manner. When the big baby was bullied, he immediately broke out to protect the cubs. The favorability score was filled up immediately, but after the memory recovered and the IQ went online, all the values ​​​​returned to the same level. The passing direction plummeted away.

Clark sighed.

Adele and Bruce ignored the two unloadable humanoid ornaments around them in unison, pretending that they didn't exist.

Adele didn't think there was anything wrong with her conversation with Bruce. She felt overwhelmed by the behavior of "I blocked the gun for you" like last night. Right now, there is a slight sense of alienation in this friendly atmosphere Instead, it made her more comfortable.

As for Bruce... He has always been clumsy in dealing with parent-child relationships, and Adele is not clingy or coquettish, which just makes him breathe a sigh of relief.

Both parties are satisfied.

"Of course." Adele nodded. "It's about you. It's best if you can answer it directly, so I don't have to guess..."

"You admit that I'm your daughter, right?" Adele rejected all temptations to beat around the bush, straight to the point, and cut to the point.

Bruce nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

"That's strange." Adele frowned slightly. "Mother said that as long as I can independently complete the task of finding you and gaining your approval, the seal she put on me will be released automatically. But now there is no movement at all." , I'm still like this."

Bruce, who had been vaccinated by Aphrodite in advance, naturally understood, but when he remembered the entrustment of his unscrupulous fiancee, his eyes flickered, and he remained silent for a while.

He definitely didn't want to see Mariana's lies exposed, and her daughter blamed her after overturning, absolutely not.

Adele came to a poignant conclusion: "So you're not actually willing."

Bruce: "Hmmmmmmm???"

etc!Why did you directly assume that it was me who was dishonest and not your mother who was lying to you!

Marianne's sly smile flashed across Bruce's mind, full of slaps.

Upon hearing this, Tony and Clark cast condemning glances at Bruce at the same time—what's so bad about raising a daughter?I dream of raising a daughter!

Bruce: I'm not!I don't!Don't talk nonsense!

"I know that children who come to my door halfway are not welcome." Adele showed a sad expression, "Until you are willing to accept me, I won't bother you...but you can't stop me from secretly Follow Dick and Tim, their memories haven't recovered yet, it's my responsibility to protect them."

Tony's and Clark's accusing glances were about to poke Bruce into a sieve.

"I didn't welcome you, and I didn't accept you." Bruce felt so tired, his daughter and his brain circuits were not in the same universe at all, "I'm here this time—"

"Don't force yourself," Adele put her head in her hands, "you won't be happy by force."

"Your mother lied to you about this," Bruce sighed, and finally told the truth, "It's not my acknowledgment, but your acknowledgment of me...Adele, do you know what 'love' is?"

Tony, who was drinking coffee, almost spit out his coffee, and Clark, who was spinning the pen, turned the pen away.

"I don't believe it!" Adele puffed up her cheeks, "Mother won't lie to me, show me the evidence!"

Bruce has actually produced "evidence". In the concept of ordinary people, it is enough for a father to give up his life to block a gun for his child to show love.

But Adele didn't understand, the little girl was stupid, her brain circuit was even crooked than Damian's, like a puppet lacking emotion.

Thousands of words lingered in his mind, but they were all suppressed in the end. Bruce just stared at Adele intently, and said seriously: "Give me some time, please? I will prove it to you."

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I can teach you, although I am not good at this, but we can explore and work hard together.

Both machines and AI can have emotions, so what is so difficult for a person to understand what love is?

The moment their eyes met, Adele suddenly got what Bruce meant.

A certain hidden place in her heart was gently touched, and then a strange and novel feeling arose. This feeling is not annoying, but it cannot be described clearly in words.

"Okay." Adele replied softly, and she unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth, showing a very shallow smile.

Bruce breathed a sigh of relief, "Then—"

"It's time to go back, it's late," Adele glanced out the window, jumped off the chair, grabbed Clark's clothes and shook them, "Let's go."

Clark: "???"

Bruce: "..." Stare.

Tony: "Pfft." Hold back, don't laugh!

"Well, Adele," Clark said, staring at Batman's kind gaze, "don't you live in Wayne Manor?"

Adele was slightly taken aback, "Are you going to drive me away?"

"Of course not!" Clark shook his head crazily, "I mean, should you go home with your father... After all, you are still young, so you can't always live outside..."

Adele let go, and took a big step back, "You just want to drive me away."

Clark's description became darker and darker, he had to raise his hand and swear to the sky, "Really not!"

"It's really not good to live in your house all the time," Adele showed a thoughtful look, she clasped her hands on her chest, and put on a gesture of please, "But can you take me in for another two days? I forgot Where is the manor left by my mother, I have to find it, and I will move out when I find it."

"I was wrong," Clark wanted to cry but had no tears. "There was a problem with my statement, which made you misunderstand."

Little princess, just let me go!Louise is coming back from a business trip tomorrow, if she finds out that you moved away because of a misunderstanding, then I'm screwed.

Clark felt uneasy.

"Your mother's manor is right next door to Wayne Manor," Bruce said suddenly, "it's very close, and I've been cleaning it up regularly over the years, but if you want to live in it, you still have to spend some time repairing it, and leave it to me Bar."

Adele was a little surprised, "I haven't seen it."

"Because it doesn't come out all the time," Bruce said, sounding meaningful. "The last time it was open was on Halloween."

In the end, Adele still didn't go back with Bruce, and Bruce didn't insist. He just told Clark to take care of her and not let her wander around.

"That's not your style," Clark asked furtively.

Bruce leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets, his eyes fixed on Adele who was saying goodbye to Tony from a distance, "She's different from others."

Bruce has a lot of experience in raising children, and he knows the principle of teaching students according to their aptitude, and there are some differences between genders. He can subdue the naughty and messy sons, let them squat in the corner to reflect on each other, and open the mechanism of Wayne Manor to arrest people. Trapped in solitary confinement at home...can't do the same with Adele.

Adele's problem lies in the lack of emotion. To heal, it must take a long time and the process must be tortuous. It requires infinite patience and warmth, just like holding a cold stone in your arms to warm it up.

Clark understood what his friend meant, and he patted his shoulder.

After that day, Bruce never saw Adele again.

But Adele receives packages from Gotham every day, sometimes a plethora of treats, sometimes custom clothing, sometimes a mess of toys, sometimes just a postcard.

The courier came to the door several times a day, and Adele's daily life became a handbook - unpacking the courier - cooking - unpacking the courier - tracking and protecting Tim - unpacking the courier...

Anyway, a lot of time is spent unpacking express delivery.

Clark's small house was quickly taken over by couriers. If it was not demolished diligently one day, there was a danger of nowhere to go.Louise had reason to suspect that Bruce was trying to fill up Adele's room, leaving her with no land to live in but going to Wayne Manor.

"It's definitely not Batman's idea." Little Joe secretly communicated with the Teen Titans' friends.

This gift-giving method doesn't look like pampering a daughter.

After finishing the daily practice of fighting against the simulator, Damian put away the knife and wiped off his sweat with a towel, "It's Grayson."

Xiao Qiao: "...Sure enough."

"She should be playing Lego at home now. We disassembled a Death Star last night," Xiao Qiao envied. "Why doesn't Adele need to go to school or train?"

Forget about the training, and you don't need to learn it, which makes all the Teen Titans jealous.

Damian stroked his chin, thinking that it made sense, he couldn't be the only one in the family who went to junior high school, Adele had to be with him.

Xiao Qiao gave Damian a suspicious look, "What are you thinking?"

"Nothing," Damian said. "Any plans for Halloween?"

On holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day, super criminals will be extremely active. The metropolis is fine, but Gotham is in chaos. Every festive season, Arkham will usher in the peak period of jailbreak.

Bibi catches more criminals. It is the repertoire of the Bat family celebrating the festival every year. Tim should be directly scheduled to be out this year, after all, he has not recovered his memory.

It was the first time for Damian to participate in this kind of activity. He was looking forward to it and wanted to ask his friends to come and play together.

"Adele said to take me to ask for candy," Xiao Qiao scratched her head, "Do you want to come together?"

Damian suddenly felt very unhappy, "...don't go, don't come to my house, don't give."

Xiao Qiao: "It's so fierce."

Adele isn't doing Revenge, she's carving a jack-o'-lantern.

Tony recommended himself and started a video to remotely guide Adele's knife skills. But when he watched the little girl swipe the knife with his own eyes, and the lightning-like thunder jumped on the blade, a beautiful smiling face was carved in the blink of an eye. After the pumpkin, his interest suddenly faded.

"This pumpkin is beautiful!" After Tony's face moved away, Peter's face was squeezed in front of the camera, his eyes wide open, "Can you teach me how to carve a pumpkin? I can't always carve a pumpkin."

Peter came to the Avengers base for training. After the training, he found everyone gathered in the lounge, holding a pumpkin in their hands, so he joined in.

Adele put the carved pumpkin on the other side of the table and brought a new pumpkin. She picked up the knife and twirled it between her fingers. The bright blade turned into a blooming flower. Skillful, first, you need a pinch of Zeus's lightning to enchant the knife..."

Peter: "???" The first step got stuck!

Peter doesn't have Zeus' lightning, but since it's lightning...

He turned his eyes to Thor for help.

Sol was warm-hearted, and immediately patted his chest to say that there is no problem, isn't it just lightning, and let him deal with it.He put down the half-dug pumpkin in his hand, and walked to Peter's pumpkin with a hammer.

Peter: "..." I have a bad feeling, has this person misunderstood me?

Loki glanced at Peter with pity and excitement in his eyes.

"Ha!" Thor raised his hammer, attracted lightning, and hammered down on the pumpkin.

Peter: "...NOOOOOOO!"

The pumpkin pulp was scattered, and the nearest Rocky, Bucky and Tony suffered.

Loki took a deep breath, picked up the pumpkin and threw it at the back of Thor's head, "You want to die, idiot!"

Saul was aggrieved, "He wanted to drink pumpkin juice."

Peter: "???" When did I ever say that!

When Adele hollowed out a pumpkin and planned to watch Peter's progress and guide him to the next step by the way, she found that there was no one in the video.

The sound of jingling bells and bangs came intermittently from the microphone, and unknown yellow objects and knives were flying all over the sky.

Adele: "What are you doing?"

"They're having a pumpkin fight!" After the camera spun for a while, Peter's face stained with sticky orange juice appeared, and he was carefully hiding behind the sofa. Mr. Enns disliked Sol for destroying the jack-o-lantern he carved so hard, so Mr. Stark just blasted it..."

Adele: "...It's so lively."

who?who is it?Taking advantage of the chaos and taking my jack-o-lantern? !
