Teresa feels weird lately.

There are always people who come to see her.

First, there were those overly enthusiastic uncles she had seen before, but they were a little different from last time. Their eyes didn't smile. They looked at her as if they wanted to laugh, but unfortunately they couldn't.

Then there were some people she hadn't met who came to see her, and some who pretended to pass by and peeked at her from the corner of their eyes.

Teresa felt all of this.

"Why?" Teresa asked Lorraine.

"They are all people who admire the captain and Sergeant Barnes." Lorraine replied.

"Oh." Teresa nodded, got it.

What she didn't know was that Steve and Barnes sacrificed, and as a child adopted by Steve, she became a relative of a martyr. According to the regulations, it was arranged by the superior, but now the child is young, and the documents from the superior are delayed Can't get down, Howard and Carter have had several disputes over Teresa's ownership.

"Carter," Howard said patiently. He usually wouldn't waste time on things that have nothing to do with his experiments, but Teresa is Steve's sister, and Carter is Steve's... This is not right. It's a good conclusion, so he is still willing to take some time to argue with Carter.

"Steve and Barnes are good friends of mine, and I have no problem adopting Teresa!" Howard looked at Carter. This capable female agent is swift, resolute and independent in everything she does, but this time there is a kind of It can be called tenacious persistence.

"I think I can use this reason too, can't I?" Carter folded his arms around his chest and clenched his teeth.

"Carter," Howard saw her sternness, he naturally knew the reason, so he sighed in his heart and softened his attitude, "I'm fine as a man, what will you do when you are a woman with a child? The captain has already You're gone, sooner or later you're going to start a new life,"

Carter pursed her lips and stopped talking. She has always been strong, and she doesn't want to be seen as weak just because she is a woman, but now, she still has an illusion, as if when the sun rises, Steve will come back .

"As soon as you see Teresa, you will think of the captain," Howard pointed out the key point. Since that day, Carter has not dared to see Teresa, and that child has always been taken by Lorraine.If you can't face Teresa, how can you take care of her?

"I..." Carter almost fled under Howard's penetrating gaze, she took a deep breath, "I see, you, you will take good care of her, right?"

"Of course." Howard nodded. After Carter left, he opened the drawer, and inside were two nameplates with cold light, engraved with the names and information of Steve and Bucky.

steve rogers

James Buchanan Barnes

These two nameplates have been with him for a short time since the day they were made, and he hasn't given them to Teresa yet.

That kid doesn't know anything yet.

Yesterday, she heard her asking Lorraine when her brother would come back and when her uncle would come back... She thought they would come back.

"Oh, how do I tell her?" Howard scratched his hair with a headache. How could such a small child cry?God, he annoys the child crying the most. Or, tell a lie?White lie... oh, lie to kids?That's what jerks do.

Teresa was caught by Lorraine for sneaking, and now she is being punished to face the wall, "Why run around again!" Lorraine took a long ruler and banged on the table.

Really, raising a baby is really not an easy task. If she doesn't pay attention to this restless cub, she won't know where she will go!

"Well," because there is a task, and Dai Bao should go to carry out the task.Teresa pursed her lips, feeling helpless as she didn't know what was wrong with her.

Lorraine sighed, she felt that she was on the verge of becoming a nanny.

As soon as Howard came in, he saw the pitiful and anxious little Douding stretching out his arms for Lorraine to hug.

"hug?"

"No hug!" Lorraine refused Teresa's hug, she had already seen through the tricks of this little bean and muddy, "I will forgive you if I hug you, this time you must know that you are wrong!"

"I'm sorry?" Teresa apologized again. If she made a mistake, she should apologize. Lorraine said that she was wrong, so she just apologized.

"I don't accept it," Lorraine refused the soulless apology, and she made up her mind to ask Teresa to reflect.

"Well," Teresa bit her lip, how could this be?She scratched her head and couldn't figure out what to do when the most effective trick was useless.

"Daibao will give you a smile, cute!" Teresa bared her small white teeth, showed a smirk, and then wanted to grab Lorraine's hand.

Lorraine was amused by her fake smile, and Howard by the door also smiled. Lorraine turned around and saw him standing up quickly.

"You go to work first, I'll talk to Teresa," Howard dismissed Lorraine.

He walked up to Teresa and squatted down, trying to say softly, "What's wrong with Teresa?"

"Daibao didn't..." Douding was aggrieved, and she said to Howard very seriously with her face paralyzed.

"What did Sister Lorraine say?" Howard asked.

"She said that Dumb was running around." Teresa denied it, she never ran around!

"Does Teresa feel like she's not running around?" Howard nodded, thinking about how to lead the conversation in the direction he wanted.

"No," Teresa shook her head, her eyelashes trembled, and she grabbed Howard's sleeve, "When will Uncle come back?" Uncle can prove that Doodle never runs around, Teresa thought so.

Howard choked.

Is it still here?

"Teresa, Steve and Barnes...they went far away," Howard considered his words, trying not to hurt Teresa as much as possible, the parents are gone and the parents are dead... …Actually, within a short period of time, before the child does not understand the meaning of death, it is all the same.

Teresa was taken aback, her eyes widened, "Where did you go?" Forget about uncle, did brother leave too?What about Dummy's vegetable soup?

"They..." Howard took a deep breath, and hung the two stringed nameplates around Teresa's neck. The mustache scientist said very seriously, "They have been with Teresa, no matter Where did you go?"

"Will Teresa live with my uncle in the future?" Howard is actually not ready to raise a child at all, but Teresa is Steve's adopted child after all, and he believes that he can do well!He's a genius Stark!

Teresa tilted her head. My brother also said this sentence. "What about brother?" Teresa tugged at Howard's sleeve, a trace of uneasiness appeared on her stiff little face.

"..." Howard sighed, he is really, not suitable for coaxing children at all.

Howard didn't answer her, Teresa pursed her lips, turned around and picked up her small backpack.

Howard was taken aback, "Teresa, where are you going?" He vaguely had a guess.

"Go find brother." Teresa ran up to Howard, stretched out her little hand and tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Where is it?"

Howard was helpless because of the child's innocence.He patted Teresa on the head, "Teresa, you can't find the captain,"

"Why?" Teresa tilted her head and said in a childlike voice, "Dark has Tata," Tata found his uncle and brother, Tata is a good dog!

"Because..." Howard's throat was so dry that he couldn't speak, "Because you need a lot of things to find the captain, and Teresa you don't have."

"What do you want?" Teresa blinked her eyes, "Dai Bao finds it!"

"...Do you have any money?" Howard randomly picked one up.I want Douding to get out of trouble.

"Daibao has it!" Teresa's eyes lit up, and she buried her head in her pockets. She was clutching a coin, "Daibao has money!" That was the only coin she had left.

Howard took the coin with a complex expression, and the warm coin imprinted a human head on the palm of his hand. He sighed, "Teresa, I promise you, I will find the captain and Barnes, but here Before, you had to be obedient."

Teresa frowned. She didn't understand why she still couldn't find her brother even after giving her money. Is she a liar?Teresa looked at Howard suspiciously for a while, then she turned her head and said in a muffled voice, "Dummy finds it by himself."

Howard understood Teresa's eyes, and he was almost thrown into a rage. He took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth.

"Steve and Barnes, sacrificed. Teresa, you don't understand now, but you will understand later. As the captain and Sergeant Barnes' friend, I will take good care of you instead of the captain."

sacrifice?

Howard said that Teresa didn't understand, but in fact she did. She had repeated the same Chinese class several times in Death Academy, and she knew that there were many nicknames for death. Although she was a bit slow, her memory was very good.

She knew what the word meant.

"Are brother and uncle dead?" Teresa Nuomuo asked weakly, as if she was talking to herself, she stared blankly ahead, with nothing in her empty eyes.

Howard was surprised that Teresa knew that the essence of this sacrifice was death. He finally nodded slowly, "Yes."

After finishing speaking, his heart suddenly lifted, fearing that the child would cry suddenly, Howard hugged Teresa and patted her on the back to comfort her, "I know this is hard to accept, and I didn't expect Teresa, you understand, but ...we all have to learn to face it.”

Teresa couldn't listen to what Howard said, she stared blankly at the front, after a while, when Howard thought she would cry, Teresa shook her head, "Impossible," she murmured softly road.

"Teresa?" Howard patted Teresa on the head, "What are you talking about?" He didn't quite understand what Teresa meant.

Teresa pursed her lips and repeated stubbornly and rigidly, "Impossible," since their names were not on Derb's list.

But, but,

Their names may be on someone else's to-do list.

Teresa's eyelashes trembled. After a while, Howard heard Teresa's voice, "...Daibao is wrong..." Douding's voice was low and at a loss, and she didn't look at the other task lists.

She felt that she had made a mistake, she didn't go into why she felt that she was wrong, she just felt that she was wrong.

"I'm going to stand for punishment!" Teresa turned around twice on the spot, not knowing the direction, because of a strange anxiety, she didn't know where to go to stand for punishment.But she was soon caught by Howard. The mustache scientist's big caramel-colored eyes were full of comfort, "Teresa, it's not your fault."

Although he didn't know where Teresa came to the conclusion, it would be futile to say more now, Howard sighed, "I believe their wish must be that you can live a good life."

desire?

Teresa was taken aback, "Is it the wish of brother and uncle?"

"Yes." Howard nodded.

Teresa was silent for a while, then raised her head and looked at Howard solemnly, "Dummy knows!" She clenched her little fist, she will fulfill the wishes of her brother and uncle, and live a good life!

Howard said he adopted Teresa, but he still spent most of his time in the laboratory. Although he did not treat Teresa badly in material terms, it was Lorraine who took care of Teresa.

Sometimes Lorraine hugs Teresa and reads some short stories, or uses some small toys to attract Douding's attention. Sometimes Teresa draws by herself while Lorraine reads documents. In short, during this period of time, Teresa I only saw Howard a few times.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" After yawning for several days, Lorraine frowned, and found blackness under Douding's eye sockets!Eye!lock up!It wasn't obvious before, but after staying up for a long time these days, the dark circles under the eyes also piled up.

"Hmm..." Teresa rubbed her eyes and murmured, "Daibao didn't find my brother's name...nor did my uncle." Teresa went back to check the records after asking Howard about the date of death of the two of them.

It is reasonable to say that the names of the souls that have been harvested will disappear from the death list, but it is not impossible to find the records, but this is already a very large workload. Besides, Teresa heard Howard say that the two The crash took place in the uninhabited Arctic Ocean, so part of the possibility is that the two people's names have not disappeared from the death list-the souls have not yet been harvested.

So, Daibao is working hard.

Teresa yawned, drooping her head and looking sleepy, she raised her arms slowly, "Hug, Dabaoshui."

"Now I know I'm sleepy, so I need to go to bed early at night," Lorraine said helplessly, bending down to pick up Douding.

"Daibao is busy," Teresa said in a daze, putting her head in the socket of Lorraine's shoulder.

"What are you busy with, kid?" Lorraine sneered, not paying attention to Douding's words at all, "Are you as busy as Mr. Stark?" That's the real busy person, wishing to be busy 24 hours a day A busy man living in a lab.

"Looking for a name..." Teresa closed her eyes drowsily, squinted for a while, and then continued to look for a name when she got up. Teresa thought so, but she lost to Sleepy It didn't take long to fall asleep.

Lorraine still had work to do. After realizing that the child was asleep, she put Teresa on a chair beside her, and found a piece of clothing to cover her body.

When Teresa woke up, there was a strand of dull hair on the top of her head, and the little one was turned to one side, pitifully, Lorraine was not there, and Teresa didn't know how long she had slept. She rubbed her eyes and opened her eyes. The coat on his body fell off the chair with a snap.

"Well," Teresa got up neatly, and it took a while before she thought of patting the ashes off her body.

The door behind the bookshelf is open. This secret door has always been closed. Inside is Howard's laboratory. Teresa has never entered it, but she has seen Howard go in, and occasionally she can hear it in the voice of Lorraine reading stories. The noise from inside.

Well, it's often a crackling sound.

"Wow!" Thanatus walked to the concealed door, sniffed with the tip of his dark nose, and he didn't know what it smelled. He turned his head and called Teresa twice.

"Huh?" Teresa licked her lips hearing the excitement in the little black dog's voice, "Is it a spirit?" She asked, but her hand was already honestly on the door.

"Wang~" Yes!

"Well, go." Teresa cheered up when she heard that there was a soul. She put on her small backpack and followed Thanatus into Howard's laboratory.

Teresa pulled the backpack strap, and suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar, like, just like the little stories that Lorraine used to read to her, the little adventure stories.

Adventure?

Teresa's dark eyes lit up.

The author has something to say: Teresa: Left-behind children-orphans, weak, helpless, and pitiful.

Tony: Sis, sister? ? ?No!I reject!
