The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Stark didn't know how he finally returned to the bed in the bedroom. He guessed that someone should have carried it in, and it was more likely that this person was Rhodes or Pep.He hadn't slept in his own bed for so long that Stark couldn't even remember the last time he lay here.

He wakes up once, and Stark kind of forgets the details of what happened last night, just remembering that he put on his armor for the last crazy party and destroyed a lot of things.He fumbled for the soft sheets with his hands indiscriminately. The depression in the mattress told him that there was another person beside him. He chuckled and turned his head sideways.In the darkness, Stark saw Ma Linglong sleeping there, her thin body wrapped under the quilt, and the soft light through the glass window was full of hazy beauty.

"Baby..." Stark found that his voice was surprisingly hoarse, which may be the dry throat caused by hangover.

Ma Linglong opened her eyes, she smiled slightly, moved her upper body close to Stark, and put her arms on the man's stomach: "Go to sleep, it's still early."

Stark squinted his eyes and covered his warm arms over his stomach with his palms. He felt tired and comfortable, and soon fell asleep again.

Ma Linglong lay on her side and whispered to him, "Happy birthday, Stark."

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight fell into the bed of the two of them, Ma Linglong woke up Stark without using a magic wand.When he opened his eyes and saw his girl lying almost full on him, playing with the two small protruding spots on his chest, Stark's bottom immediately hardened.But he didn't throw Ma Linglong down immediately to solve the physiological reaction. Instead, like a frightened animal, he turned over and covered his chest with the sheet.

Ma Linglong was amused by his reaction and couldn't help laughing for a while, Stark looked like a girl who was afraid of being bullied.

"I'm not a girl." Stark quickly grabbed a T-shirt and put it on, and then pressed Ma Linglong on the bed, "So, when you said on the phone that you would not come back, you actually wanted to surprise me ?”

He felt as if his body was not so heavy, and Stark hoped this was not an illusion, because he felt better now than ever.He shouldn't have such a good feeling, because of the madness last night, he knew that he would not live long, he thought that what he saw when he woke up should be the god of death.

Ma Linglong reached into his shirt and made a gesture of lifting it up: "How do you feel now?"

Stark hurriedly held the girl's hand tightly: "It feels great." He said uncertainly, "If I had known that you had prepared a surprise for me, I wouldn't have drunk so much wine last night, so As for us all missing the night of passion that was just ours."

"Lithium dioxide." Ma Linglong said abruptly, "it can temporarily relieve the speed at which the palladium metal poison spreads in your blood. It can only be used once. After a month, the toxin will occupy your whole body at double the speed. So , if you've rested enough, get up and work."

"I do not know what you're talking about,"

Stark pretended not to understand and leaned down to kiss the girl's mouth, but was stopped by Ma Linglong: "Nitaly is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Her name is Natasha Romanov. I ask her to stay in the By your side, so that I can grasp your information at any time. Don't expect me to apologize to you, this is what you should say to me, but I don't need your apology." A weirdness appeared on Stark's face Ma Linglong knew that he was preparing to lose his temper, "It was you who concealed the truth first, if you want to say something to me that will make our relationship stiff, I will wait."

"No." After weighing the pros and cons with his high-speed head, Stark said nonchalantly, "I just want to say 'good morning' to you."

Stark probably didn't expect that the fact that he had concealed it for so long was exposed overnight by Ma Linglong. He was unhappy about it all morning, and then the girl corrected him not overnight, but knew it a long time ago. Through S.H.I.E.L.D.This is a double blow to Stark. Ma Linglong has always known about the palladium toxin, but pretended not to know from the beginning to the end. Stark can no longer tell who is hiding the secret better.

"I'm sorry." Stark said to Ma Linglong in a perfunctory tone, "It's impossible, and I can't stop using the reactor. Telling you in advance is of no use at all." He didn't know what to do. What kind of attitude should I express my feelings at this moment and blame Ma Linglong?Well, unless he wants to lose her, "Look now, there's still nothing you can do." He paused, then added tactfully, "Except for the pleasure of seeing your face."

Ma Linglong didn't yell at him and asked why Stark concealed the truth. When he was guilty or timid, Stark usually liked to cover up his fragility with harsh sentences.

She knew him so well: "Did I say something that made you feel the need to express those opinions just now?"

"I just..." Stark twisted his body uncomfortably. He tried hard to show his determination, but he couldn't keep it for long. Under Ma Linglong's provocation, "I don't like you using this The tone speaks to me." He walked over from the mirror, only one button of his pajamas was buttoned, the blue circle of light was shaking brightly, he looked down at Ma Linglong and said, "I want a good morning kiss."

Stark actually intended to give a reasonable explanation for his concealment, but his tone was a little milder than provocative.

"No." Ma Linglong said, before Stark objected, she said, "You still have bubbles of toothpaste at the corner of your mouth."

So Stark ruthlessly fed all the mint-flavored foam into Ma Linglong's mouth.

The two soaked in the large jacuzzi and enjoyed a rare bathing time. The floor-to-ceiling windows faced the blue sea and the delicate sun, and the heavenly scenery was included in the entire glass wall.Half an hour ago, they did something they hadn't done in more than a month, enough to make both of them feel comfortable physically and mentally.The contradictions disappeared in the passionate union, they embraced each other, and let the fragrance of the bath liquid stay on the skin.

"Trust me." Stark said, "I just don't want you to worry about my business. You can't be distracted from your work. I know that those ghosts will take advantage of it if you are not firm enough."

"Follow me to meet someone in the afternoon." Ma Linglong said, "He will help you."

"I hope you don't mean Bruce Wayne." Stark said.

"Nick Ferry." Ma Linglong said.

"Then I'd rather do it myself," he said uncertainly.

"Don't be so stubborn, I know you like to rely on yourself, but what happened?" Ma Linglong looked at him and said, "Not only did you fail, but you chose to give up on yourself."

"I didn't, yesterday was my birthday, I have a birthday party every year, not just yesterday." Stark yelled, "It's your fault, if you didn't want to surprise me, you wouldn't have discovered these things .”

"Come on, you just want to be self-willed again at the last moment." Ma Linglong told the truth, "You never considered my feelings at all, if you die..."

"Yes, I'm sorry, Linglong, I was terrified at the time, I don't know what else to do, I think it's better for me to die like this than to see you sad." Stark kissed Ma Ling Long's mouth, and then continued, "I'm sorry, really, I love you so much, I just want you to see my perfect side."

"It's not uncommon for me to see you down and out." Ma Linglong said sternly, "Have you ever thought that once you die, I will be with you?"

"You scare me." Stark replied dubiously, "There is no need to die for love, that is a part of the movie, and it is outdated. I said that even if I become a ghost, I am the best-looking ghost. I can always be with you." He didn't think that Ma Linglong would really die in love, it sounded like a legend two centuries ago.

Although he doesn't want to see the legend become reality.

"Seeing him won't make you allergic to Stark." Ma Linglong doesn't like to force Stark to act against his will. Most of the time, Ma Linglong supports all his actions, even if everyone accuses him is wrong.The premise is that his behavior does not threaten Stark's own life, "I assure you, solve the problem of the reactor, and I will take you to Hogwarts."

Stark's eyes brightened visibly.

"Also, Sirius has escaped from prison, and now he is secretly hidden by me, don't you always want to see him, I hope you can find some empathy in each other."

Stark froze for a moment, before saying after a few seconds: "You mean, you hid a man behind my back?"

Nick Ferry came to visit in person, bringing his team, as well as the historically significant secrets left by Howard, some things that even Stark himself has never seen.Ferry told him that these ancient objects must hide the key to solving the problem. Stark really hoped that he could clearly point out the key in the next second, instead of giving him a plausible answer to let him go. Guess.

It's a pity that Ferry just handed over the old things to Stark in the end, but he couldn't tell him what kind of turn these ancient objects could bring him.

"If I know the answer, I don't need to rely on you, Stark." These are Ferry's original words. Lithium dioxide inhibits palladium toxin is the only drug that S.H.I.E.L.D. can research through Howard's notes.

Ma Linglong thought that Ferry came here to ridicule Stark. During the hour-long conversation between the two, the agent chief used several sentences with strong irony to make a very precise statement about Stark's behavior. The attack, extreme arrogance, and irresponsibility.His expression seems to remind Stark all the time that he is a complete fool.

Ma Linglong didn't interrupt Ferry's sarcasm because he was absolutely right, those were exactly what Ma Linglong thought of but didn't tell Stark.He is used to facing everything alone, but once the situation gets out of control, Stark can't come up with a second plan to stop the loss.

Ferry said everything Ma Linglong planned to say to Stark, the good ones and the bad ones, most of them were bad.Stark obviously took advantage of this, as he never responded to Ferry's comments from beginning to end.

"Please," Stark said, "find something else to do, anything to get out of here, or go back to your school and take care of your secret man, and stop staring at me." Knowing the old gadgets left by Howard, this recognition made him feel extremely irritated.

They have been in the workshop for a full ten hours, and there was no gain during the period, which aggravated Ma Linglong's worry: "You are going to die." She pointed out solemnly and bluntly, "I hope you can focus on everything but Other places besides me." Ma Linglong is like a supervisor, staring at Stark and not allowing him to be lazy, as if she is not his girlfriend at this moment, but his creditor, "Study your father well things, and in five hours you'll be free for a quarter of an hour."

"Believe me, fifteen minutes is not enough for us to have fun." Stark said oilyly, "At least an hour."

"Stark." Ma Linglong took Howard's things out of the safe provided by S.H.I.E.L.D. with a wand, and placed them in front of him one by one, "No one can help you now except yourself. I don't have any I'm joking with you."

"I know, babe, I know." Stark said wearily, grabbing a blotter casually, "I'm just not used to our current atmosphere, it makes me nervous."

"Okay, I'm going out."

"No, no, what I mean is, I hope you can give me a smile." Stark said to Ma Linglong, "Then, wait quietly for my good news."

Ma Linglong secretly let out a breath from her nose, like a silent sigh: "This is difficult."

The things left by Howard and kept by S.H.I.E.L.D. to this day are naturally extremely confidential things. The purpose of Ferry handing them over to Stark at this time is of course hoping that he can explore the mysteries.But Stark felt that he might not be smart enough. Although he was already the smartest person in the world, he thought so, and no one dared to refute his conclusion so far.But facing a bunch of things from decades ago, Stark seems to have fallen into a new confusion.

The little bat flashed in from outside the glass door, he barked a few times, and then flew out again.

"Don't worry, baby." Stark kissed Ma Linglong's cheek, "Do your own thing, maybe when you come back, I've already solved the trouble."

"Ferry wants me to watch you." Ma Linglong said.

"I don't think you'd listen to him," Stark said. "You're a teacher, aren't you? You have a lot of students, and they love you like crazy. If you can't take your class for a day, you're itchy all over. Why don't you go back How about Professor Lillian in class?"

It's not hard to guess at the source of Stark's hyperbole.

"I don't believe Lupine told you that."

Stark half pushed Ma Linglong to the door, he entered the password, then pushed her into the elevator, and pressed the floor of the living room: "Have some fun for yourself." He said, "Don't put all your energy on it." In a man, that makes you lose yourself."

"Don't worry." Ma Linglong regained her indifference, "You only got 60.00% of my attention."

"What?" Stark's voice suddenly became sharp. He didn't really want to drive Ma Linglong away, he just needed more than a minute of independent thinking time.And he guessed that it was impossible for Ma Linglong to leave him for more than 1 minutes, until Stark heard her say that her energy was not fully on him, "Which bastard is the other 2%?"

"Sirius." Ma Linglong said, "That secret man."

The owl from Hogwarts had already circled the villa twice with its flapping wings, and it couldn't find any cracks to slip envelopes into, no closets, no open windows.It seems that the owl does not know that there is such a thing as a ventilation duct, and it may not be able to find the ventilation hole hidden in the ground at all. It chirped anxiously and finally attracted the attention of the little bat.

It was a black owl, the only one in Hogwarts who had this kind of fur owl, the sharp eyes were exactly the same as its owner.Ma Linglong let the owl in, and it swaggered and left the whole room with its own smell.

The content of the letter was very simple. Snape first questioned why Ma Linglong left his post without permission, and then expressed a few questions about responsibility.His words were quite sharp, as if Marring had made an unforgivable mistake, and every word smacked of Snape's resentment.

The black owl was still hovering above Ma Linglong's head, and it competed with the little bat for the ownership of the sky. It was obvious that the little bat felt that its airspace was occupied by an owl several times its size, which was enough to make it feel humiliating thing.

"Give me peace!" Ma Linglong waved her magic wand and turned the black owl into a feather duster, which floated beside the chandelier and shook off a few dark feathers.

The little bat sensed the anger of its master, and after the black owl got hit, it immediately stopped flapping its wings and landed on the owl that had turned into a feather duster.

In fact, Ma Linglong felt that it was enough for Snape not to send her a roaring letter, but she could feel from the lines in the letter that Snape had indeed roared in his heart.

Sirius entered the school again. Not long after Ma Linglong left Hogwarts, he not only broke into the public area of ​​the Gryffindor student dormitory, but also made a lot of noise.He scratched the oil canvas at the entrance of the public rest area, and was clearly seen by the characters in the oil painting, because it was not an ordinary oil painting, and behind the canvas was a door that would only open if the correct password was read out.

Sirius had to change back into human form in order to enter the cave. Obviously he couldn't read the correct password, so he destroyed the painting on the wall in a rage.

This incident spread throughout Hogwarts, and the news of Sirius' return for revenge was overwhelming, and all the students and parents suddenly fell into panic.No one knew where Sirius was hiding, but they knew he was coming, seeking revenge on Harry.The students were gathered together, and they couldn't go back to the dormitory when they slept at night. Many parents took their children back temporarily.

Ma Linglong was furious, she thought that next time it might be better to simply fire a wave of pulse guns at Sirius, any trick that can make that self-righteous guy speechless will do.For a moment, Ma Linglong associated Sirius' arbitrary behavior with Stark, and she immediately felt very headache.

She hastily wrote a reply on the reverse side of Snape's letterhead, and then turned the black owl back. Ignoring the proud bird's hateful eyes, she handed the reply to the owl's feet.

"Stare at me again, and I'll roast you!" Ma Linglong said angrily.

The author has something to say: In fact, this paragraph mainly wants to express that whether it is Nini or Agou, they are the type who are unwilling to ask for or wait for help, and do things regardless of the consequences, always getting themselves into trouble.
