Hearing Natasha's voice, both Ruth and Peter froze for a moment.

"What is the 1926 Wizarding Boycott?" Peter asked Ruth while smoothing out the black hair that was accidentally messed up on her head.

This is his habit.

Probably because he was stimulated by a series of newspaper news, or because he had just been eroded by the venom, he suddenly returned to normal and only cared about Ruth's safety and mood wholeheartedly, so this habit that had been suppressed for a long time reappeared.

Before seeing Ruth's reaction, Peter didn't realize that there was something wrong with his action, but even after he noticed her embarrassed eyes, Peter still didn't withdraw his hand, he pretended not to see her surprise.

"That's because a wizard used magic in front of No-Majs, exposing the existence of the magic world. In those years, the relationship between wizards and No-Majs reached unprecedented tension. People in the wizarding world are panicking." Ruth replied to Peter, and after careful consideration, she turned her head slightly and moved to the side, avoiding Peter's hand.

"Natasha actually knows this. Even in the magic world, there are many wizards who are not interested in history who don't know this. She actually knows." She expressed the doubt in her heart, and wanted to use this to break the embarrassment caused by dodging .

When she was a childhood sweetheart, she regarded this head touching as a kindness from her elder brother to love her younger sister.

When her first heart sprouted, she regarded his movement of stroking his hair as the unique intimacy between lovers.

But now, after a year of being lukewarm and only saying hello every day, their relationship is no longer what it used to be.Now Ruth can't accept such an intimate gesture from him, and the sudden approach will only make her feel embarrassed.

And she always felt a little weird feeling in her heart, something was bumping into a layer of film in her heart little by little.It was as if a plant was about to germinate, whenever Peter made a movement—such as touching his head just now, or being hugged by him before, he suddenly appeared when he was most helpless.

The buds will suddenly hit the membrane, itchy and weird, as if something is about to break through the ground.

She rejected this feeling, and her self-protection instinct told Ruth that she could no longer allow such contact and feeling to continue. Although she didn't know what the result would be if she continued, it must be very uncomfortable.

"Why do you want to dodge?" Peter asked, his hand froze there, and he withdrew it with a sullen face.

He finally couldn't continue to ignore the attitude and rejection that made her too different.

Did she really fall in love with Tony Stark?Could it be that the content of those newspapers is just exaggeration, but the most critical points are not wrong?

Only separated for a year, only two holidays did not see each other, only...

"What was that black thing on your body just now?" Ruth answered irrelevantly, deliberately ignoring Peter's question. She glanced at Seraphina and Percy who were tied up next to her, not at Peter.

"Why are you so far away from me, why are you so unfamiliar with me, why..." He wanted to ask Ruth many reasons, but the question he wanted to ask the most was that he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

"Isn't this the result you want!" Ruth spoke quickly, didn't listen to Peter's finish, and replied to him without thinking after only a few sentences, with some resentment that she didn't know where it came from, and also Some doubts that Peter did not understand knowingly asked.

"..." Peter remained silent, stunned by Ruth's blurted out sentence, and didn't know what to say.

She was absolutely right.

This result was originally caused by him, regardless of whether she likes Tony Stark or not, all of this was originally what he asked for.

Suddenly, with the sudden bang sound outside the door and the muffled sound of countless human bodies being hit against the wall, the door on the fifteenth floor was opened, and Steve, who was retracting his shield, stood at the very front. Tony, who was wearing a mecha beside him, stepped into the house first.

"Ruth!" He locked his eyes on Ruth as soon as he came in, and called her name, "Come here."

Behind him was Natasha, who pinched the hands of the Minister of Magic and pointed a gun at his head, and Hawkeye, who drew a bow and aimed at the rear.

Pritchett, holding a wand, originally followed the Avengers all the way to find Ruth after the Minister of Magic was held hostage.Although he suppressed his nervousness and worry in his heart when playing against the Minister of Magic and did not express it too much, these emotions have always existed.

During the journey, this potion professor, who has been inactive all year round and stays in the cellar to make potions, and only uses apparation when going out, and who doesn't even want to see the sun, walks at a pace not much slower than this group of superheroes.

It wasn't until Pritchett saw that Ruth was really fine, and that even the pale face he saw on the table before had turned pale at this time, he was relieved, and the fatigue of the fast journey came to him all at once. .

"Pritchett! What are you doing! Do you just let them tie me up like this?" Pritchett, who had been following him from the beginning to the end, had no intention of saving him at all, even when he saw the girl Seemingly relieved after being safe, the Minister of Magic was furious.

The Minister for Magic's words reminded others that although Pritchett was Ruth's professor and friend, he was also a wizard.

Natasha, who was holding the Minister of Magic hostage, gave Pritchett a threatening look. Even Barton turned the arrow and pointed at Pritchett. Before Tony could explain, he lazily leaned against the On the gate next to the gate, he said to the Minister of Magic: "I really want to save you, but I can't beat them."

Although the words were directed at the Minister of Magic, Pritchett's attitude of having nothing to do with himself was very credible. In addition, he seemed to feel that the wizard lying on the ground fainted with short legs before leaning against the door. , and kicked in disgust, the Minister of Magic rolled his eyes angrily.

"You..." The vicious words were about to be uttered by him.Natasha, who received a satisfactory reply, kicked his calf with all her strength.

Hearing "Ke Pa!", all his cursing got stuck in his throat, turned into a cry of pain, and he knelt on the ground.

After being snapped off by Peter, Ruth's movements had returned to normal.

She, who was able to move freely, saw the Avengers break through the door, her eyes lit up, she left Peter without hesitation before Tony called her name, and trotted to them.

"Why are you here!" She was so surprised that she asked nonsense. "Even the professor is here!"

"You think we want to come." Pritchett rolled his eyes at Ruth, and poked Ruth's head with his finger angrily, "How did I remind you? I said something would happen!"

His tone was ferocious, as if he was not the one who was so worried that he almost betrayed himself and signed the unequal treaty just now.

"It hurts." Ruth rubbed the sore spot, and Tony gave Pritchett a sideways look for that.

"Thank you!" She said to everyone with crooked eyebrows. They came for her, and in order to protect her safety, they were willing to face this group of wizards they didn't know, and against their ignorant and inestimable abilities. magic.

Even her professor came, which she didn't expect. Ruth, who had long been accustomed to Pritchett's hard-spoken and soft-hearted mode, only heard concern in those words, and didn't find it harsh.

"You're still laughing!" It can be seen that she was smiling and moved but didn't know the danger. Pritchett was so angry that he stretched out his hand to poke her on the head with his eyes wide open. Seeing that his fingers were about to touch the top of Ruth's head, she Just before she could dodge her head with both hands, a hand covered her head and blocked Pritchett's fingers.

"Don't fight." It was Tony, who couldn't resist and said to Pritchett in an orderly tone, his tone was serious as if he was issuing a battle plan.

Pritchett's eyes moved to Tony's face, and the displeasure expression that had stared at him stretched his eyebrows and eyes at this time, and he cast an inquiring look at him, and raised his eyebrows.

The two silently established a weird Shura field at the door of the fifteenth floor, and the most annoying thing about this Shura field was that they didn't bring Peter to play.

Everyone's attention and focus was on Ruth. No one looked at the two wizards who were tied up, and no one paid attention to Peter standing in the criminal's interrogation area. Even Ruth forgot his existence.

Looking at the happy but silent crowd who were quarreling and excluding him, and Ruth standing among them with a happy smile and bright eyes, Peter clenched his hands tightly and then loosened them again.

"I... regret it." He lowered his head and murmured.

He was really starting to regret it.

**

Originally, everyone in the Avengers just wanted to rescue Ruth, including Ruth, who thought so. She felt that as long as she could leave smoothly this time, it would be fine.

But about the time when Pritchett was rescued by accident, he smashed the magic wand of the Minister of Magic into powder, held him hostage on the way to the fifteenth floor, and then stopped other wizards who came to stop him. Half stunned and half scared away.

Facing the disparity between the two sides, Pritchett thought for a while, and stopped Tony who was about to take Ruth away: "You can't leave now."

"Yes." Natasha agreed. In fact, she didn't move her footsteps. One was to limit the movements of the Minister of Magic, and the other was to keep thinking about something. She knew him immediately when Pritchett spoke. It means, "Even if we leave today, I don't know how many times this kind of thing will happen in the future."

She pointedly looked down at the Minister of Magic who had knelt on the ground and never got up again.

"It doesn't matter, we already know their headquarters, as long as there is another accident in Ruth next time, we will directly blow up this building." But Tony didn't care much about it, he said to Natasha, the tone in his tone The threatening implications startled the Minister for Magic.

"You won't be as fast as 'Apparition' soon, and Ruth's body will be cold by the time you arrive." No matter how much he hates the Ministry of Magic, Pritchett is a wizard. No-Maj's overconfident look couldn't help but sarcasm, and said coolly.

"No!" The Minister of Magic shook his head again and again, how confident he was when he blackmailed the contract just now, how frustrated he is now, "We will not do anything to Ruth Betley again, and we will not take her away suddenly .”

He said categorically, speaking fast, as if he was afraid that the man with the mustache in the iron suit would be upset if he spoke slowly, and then immediately raised his hand and used his device that can emit extremely powerful blue lasers to send the Ministry of Magic Ruined the same.

——He had read the information about 'Iron Man' made by the No-Maj Risk Research Department, and he knew that this man would definitely do what he said.

"But... that's really not enough." After being reminded by Natasha and Pritchett, Tony glanced at Ruth and really remembered some requests that needed to be made.

Such a favorable situation.

Tony showed an old fox-like profiteer smile at the Minister of Magic, and after seeing that Tony finally got the right point, Pritchett, responsible for IQ and unstoppable fuck, closed his mouth and leaned back against the gate , rolled his eyes again.

Finally, with Ruth's suggestion and Pritchett's supplement, they formulated all the requirements.

One, the wizarding world cannot interfere in Ruth's production and use of potions.

Second, whether Ruth does divination or not is her freedom. Since divination requires magic power, and she does not have magic power, it cannot be counted as using magic on No-Maj. The Ministry of Magic is not allowed to investigate the method she uses, let alone interfere with it.

Third, Ruth's way of purchasing potions must not be blocked, and confidential information must be strengthened.

But it is unrealistic to just ask for it. Ruth said that once a good potion improvement is discovered, she will provide it to the Ministry of Magic, and she will not provide potions to people other than the Avengers, let alone leak information about the magic world. matter.

Originally, the Minister of Magic was still a little hesitant, because he said that he would let Ruth go, but he was just a plan to delay the attack. He did have a plan, and Natasha, who was on the side, did not miss the change of expression on his face.

"Don't forget what we said just now. If you don't know much about the Avengers, we are willing to let you see it with your own eyes." She ruthlessly pulled the back collar of the Minister of Magic.

The Minister of Magic was strangled almost out of breath, but in the position of minister, he could not agree so easily.

"As long as you agree to these requirements, I am willing to provide the Ministry of Magic with twenty bottles of optional middle-level potions every month." Pritchett also understood that seeing the minister's pain but still persisting, he got the answer in time. Gave the minister a step up.

With such powerful grace and power combined, the last pride of the Ministry of Magic finally couldn't hold on.

"I promise you." He nodded, parted his upper and lower lips a few times, and finally stumbled out the words with difficulty.

What politicians are best at is to follow the wind and steer the rudder. Now he can only agree to this correct way out. What he wants to think about is what kind of reason should he tell the personnel of various departments of the Ministry of Magic involved in this matter today.

——If the explanation is not good, he may become the first minister to step down due to fear of No-Maj in 100 years.

Technology against magic, technology wins.

There are many people against few people, living in the sun with many supporters, courage will always be higher than those who hide from the world for protection.

***

After signing the contract with magic power, Pritchett hurriedly left the Ministry of Magic on the grounds of "going back quickly to teach the trolls". He 'apparated' and returned to the gate of Ilvermorny.

Ruth, who has experienced a small catastrophe but will never suffer from the magic world, is relaxed. She finally no longer has the nightmare of being captured by the Ministry of Magic and sentenced to death. She and Peter thanked Peter first, and then said goodbye. Holding Natasha's hand and preparing to leave with them.

"Ruth, I..." Seeing that Ruth was about to leave, Peter, who had turned into a background board, finally stopped hesitating and stopped her.

"What's the matter?" Ruth stopped when she heard the sound, turned and tilted her head to look at Peter, her eyes were full of doubts, and she couldn't think of the reason why he called her to stop.

"I, I regret it!" he said loudly.

Everyone in the Avengers, who were talking and laughing, stopped at this moment, and looked at the young boy who was talking loudly, almost roaring.

"I want to say something to you!" Peter, who took off the mask, rubbed his shaggy hair with his hands. Facing the eyes of a group of people who were probing and guessing, he blushed nervously.

Don't know how to approach Ruth.

In the classroom under the heavy rain, at the graduation ceremony surrounded by crowds, and downstairs in the Stark Building where reporters blocked the door.

I don't know what to say to Ruth after seeing her, and what to say.

Say you have a good time recently, say you have forgotten me, say you know that I have some regrets?

So many times he missed opportunities due to hesitation, so many times he pushed people away because of lack of confidence, even if he regretted it, he didn't know what he should do, knowing that he just heard Mr. clear.

"I am much better than before, and my mentality has changed. I realized many problems, and I found that all the previous ideas were wrong!" He reviewed.

If he is afraid of danger, he should eradicate the source of the danger and take the initiative to prevent future troubles. As long as he is confident, nothing will be a problem. Pushing her away is not the best way to protect her, nor is it the final result he wants.

Finally, at the moment when Ruth said goodbye to him lightly and couldn't wait to leave, he understood.

When is the time to solve all this, it is now, he can't wait, can't delay any longer.There is never a perfect time in this world to solve a dilemma. The most suitable time is always the fastest and the one closest to the present.

To explain, it is now!

"I, I think I'm actually not as good as Mr. Stark or the captain, but I, but I can also protect others, protect you. I have become much stronger than before, really, I can stop the almost broken rail I can firmly fix all the chemicals that almost exploded in the spider web, and I can..."

But his mind was too chaotic and he thought too much. He didn't know how to express his enthusiasm to the girl. Seeing her increasingly suspicious eyes, Peter became even more flustered.

He stuttered.

"Look, I still have a new suit, which was given to me by Mr. Stark."

He really became much stronger than before, when she was not around.

Ruth, who had been puzzled for a long time, finally seemed to understand something when she mentioned the battle suit. She suddenly realized something, and then she grinned sweetly at Peter, showing her white teeth.

After a year, finally saw this familiar smile again, and it was shown to him, Peter thought she understood what he wanted to express.

He clenched his fists excitedly, waiting for her reply.

As long as she said back, he would immediately step forward and take her away. He would protect her well in the future and take her with him wherever he went. As long as anyone dared to bully her, he would definitely help her get justice.

There are so many accidents, accidents will happen to anyone, but we cannot refuse the right to enjoy now just because of the possible accidents.

"As long as you like this suit, I suggested it to Mr. Stark." But Ruth's reply was not in Ruth's imagination at all.

"What...?" Peter was taken aback.

"I'm glad to see that you can protect yourself and are more confident than before." Ruth said with relief.

"No...you misunderstood, I..." He was a little anxious.

She held Natasha with her right hand, and waved at Peter with her free hand, "But I'm safe now, you see, I have many friends."

So many friends, so many friends who are better than him.

"You don't have to worry about me anymore."

He doesn't have to worry about her anymore.

The author has something to say: crooked?You don't need to pick me up, I have tenth floors of the Stark Tower, I have money, I have a beautiful lady, and I have a professor who is soft-spoken and soft-hearted, what don't I have?You go pick up other kids, they are all poor and weak, I don't care, hum!

Peter: I cried with a woof!
