[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Absolute Center

Late at night in Manhattan continues the hustle and bustle of the day. Advertisements are played on the big screens in the building in a loop, and the street traffic is constantly flowing. Standing on a high place, the distance is far away from the noise, and only the bustling scene remains.

With the night scene behind him, Steve pushed open the glass door of the balcony and walked into the room. The white mist of fragrance wafted from the open kitchen counter. The girl in a white cotton skirt wore an apron, quietly staring at the pot, surrounded by a peaceful air.

"Your phone." He handed over the phone.

Seeing a familiar unknown number, Anna took it over, and the moment the voice sounded from the opposite side, "It's me."

Anna: "..."

"Listening? Honey, although I don't want to remind you, it's already late, and you should go to bed immediately."

The other party's voice was light and soft, but Anna was very tense. She couldn't say a word for a long time, so she listened to the other side's silence for a while, and continued: "Now let the man in your room leave. Lie back on the bed obediently, cover the quilt, if you want to go to class , I will take you back tomorrow morning."

Anna clenched her phone tightly: "I...I don't need sir."

It was quiet there for a moment, only the sound of electronic equipment ticking, like a place like a ward.

"Little friend, do you want to know the consequences of disobedience?" He asked in a low voice.

Anna froze for a moment, thinking of "exposing the secret" in an instant, the phone slipped from the palm of her hand, and the captain caught it quickly, and the last half of the sentence "...teach you to be a man" came out from the speaker.

Steve looked at the situation and knew that Tony was making an inappropriate joke again, so he warned the phone: "Don't talk nonsense. Go to bed early, good night."

After finishing speaking, he hung up and reached out to rub Anna's hair, "Don't take it to heart, he has always been far-fetched."

Ana swallowed the anxiety, as if Mr. Stark hadn't revealed anything to anyone, she hesitated, rubbing the palm of her head in response.

Steve paused slightly, then walked around the dining table and opened his arms to her, "Come."

Anna looked up in a daze, he smiled, and hugged her into his arms—a hug like a child, more like a kitten.

**

At the Mount Sinai Medical Center, Stark, who was hung up on the phone, was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger. The TV began to cycle the news of the attack again. He frowned and wanted to smash the screen with something.

"Sir. Mr. Coulson's insider."

Jarvis's reminder sounded in the corner, and the next moment it was Coulson's voice, "Stark, it is said that Xie Jinsi's apartment has changed hands?"

Jarvis reminded: "The apartment building where Mr. Steve and Miss Anna are located."

"Oh, it's not me. Is there anything else?" Stark quickly vetoed, changed his clothes, and prepared to escape to the hospital.

"...I need the monitoring information of the residents on the 65th floor. It is said that the defense system has been completely replaced with the highest-level Stark technology a few days ago." Coulson bit down on the word "highest level", and felt that the most difficult thing to communicate with was Si Tucker.

"Well, okay." Stark cut off the connection, sorted out his image in front of the mirror, and confirmed that he was mature and stable. He pressed the car lock and turned to go out. "Jarvis, clear all surveillance information on the 65th floor."

"Sir, there is a lot of information, don't you need to read it?" Jarvis kindly reminded that there were not only many illegal transactions in this room, but also some supernatural phenomena.

Stark paused, then waved his hand, "Doit."

At 35:3503 in the morning, the door of room [-] on the [-]th floor of Xie Jinsi's apartment was gently opened.

The balcony window was open, and as the door opened, gusts of cold wind poured in, and the floor-length gauze curtain bulged in a subtle arc.This child sleeps without closing the window, bad habit.

He walked slowly and closed the window, the glass closed, and the room became much warmer immediately, he covered his aching ribs and took a deep breath to hold back his cough.

With the help of the lights from the opposite building, I can vaguely see the room furnishings, and this is not the first time I have come here, although the owner was not there before.Walking to the big bed, sitting on the side of the bed, leaning against the head of the bed to rest for a while.

The child was wrapped in a snow-white quilt, and seemed to have fallen asleep. Only half an hour had passed, and he fell asleep quite quickly.

Just stay safe and be honest.

In the past few years, except for growing taller, his appearance has not changed much. He thought about moving a little, moving closer.

When he was about to touch her, his hands were empty for an instant, as if the person he saw just now was a hallucination, he stood up hesitantly, took a step back and lifted the quilt, it was empty.

His lower back suddenly felt cold, and he turned his head. The kid who was supposed to be lying on the bed was holding a knife against him, because his head was lowered so that he couldn't see his expression, but a little sharp pain in his flesh made him quickly realize that something was wrong.

"Relax, relax, it's me." He took a step back and grabbed her wrist. Her body temperature was a little low, and her tightness seemed to collapse after hearing his voice. After a moment of pause, she began to pull out.

"Calm, eh, calmdown." He squeezed her wrist with one hand, clasped her lower back to suppress the struggle, who knew that the child was tossing and tossing like a fish just thrown ashore.There was a tight pain in the chest and lungs involved, and he bared his teeth and hissed: "If you move again, I will throw you downstairs!"

Anna froze instantly.

Stark hugged her and wondered how the child got behind him just now, and whether the ability would evolve into other types.

The rib fixation nails that had just been installed showed signs of breaking, and the knife that was poked on the waist began to pour out heat. He frowned and looked at the kid who had moved quickly but hadn't said a word since entering the door, "Who taught you to be so ruthless? "

The speaker Wuxin Anna's face turned pale, and she was even more speechless. She thought of the past, some things are done, and mistakes are mistakes. The nature will not change with time, and it will not be offset by doing good things. Thinking of these things Bit sad.

"Don't cry, be good." Stark lowered his voice, put her on the head of the bed, squatted down and held her hand, "Suddenly disappeared, and there was no news of it, why, afraid that I will repay you?"

The room was suddenly quiet, and a strong wind blew up outside, making the window frame rattle, accompanied by a flash of lightning, rumbling thunder, and not long after, it began to rain.

"I'm sorry." Anna lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, "I know I was wrong, I can make it up...I can make a contribution, can I not..."

Stark turned his gaze back to her face from the window, the light was unclear, and he just thought those watery eyes were very cute.

He didn't realize what he was saying just now, seeing her crying so badly, he couldn't help but want to laugh, which caused his chest to twitch and cough for a while, and he patted her hand while laughing, "Hmm, what can you do?" What contribution?"

Anna pulled out her hand and touched the ribs under his chest. There was a faint white glow between her fingers, and there were dots of clear light green light around her.

It was this kind of light that floated with the light and began to flow warm currents in the body. The warmth and vitality gathered in the wound, and the fragrance of grass and trees came from nowhere. In just a few breaths, the pain in the ribs has been reduced by more than half.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.The white awn that gathers vitality is extinguished, and the room is dark for a moment.

Stark went to open the door and met each other twice. After Steve was surprised, he frowned, "I'm injured, why don't I rest in the hospital."

Stark blocked the door, with his arm propped on the door frame, as if he was in his own home. He didn't feel that there was any problem with his appearance here in the middle of the night. Instead, he said with a serious face: "Go to bed early, good night." After finishing speaking, he was about to close the door .

Steve leaned against the door frame, "Don't disturb others, come to my room."

Stark looked disgusted, "Captain, I don't want to pass lace to you."

Steve frowned: "Let's go."

After several nonsense, Stark chose to go back to his home, and before leaving, he said good night to the scared Anna, "see you tomorrow morning."

"..."

Anna, who was affected by Mr. Stark, had a brain failure, and realized the situation tonight, was completely stunned after waking up.

meet tomorrow……

No, leave immediately.

At exactly seven o'clock the next morning, Stark looked at the empty room, paused for a moment, and turned to look at Steve.

"Scared away by you." Steve concluded.
