[Comprehensive British and American] Super British can't save the world

Alicia opened her mouth, hesitated to speak: she has never lived a "normal" life, and that's because she is definitely not a normal person.

But I don't care too much.Once a person is used to being alone, he will not be willing to make changes, just like her, because she has been hiding from Pentagon agents for 20 years, and she is too used to walking around. Go, but if there is concern, "leaving" may become a pain and a burden.

"Eternal life" is the ideal state that human beings dream of. There are countless myths and legends derived from it, which spread all over the world. Her value is immeasurable, and she will definitely be coveted, researched, and controlled.

Pepper discussed this with Tony.When normal human beings face the inevitable prospect of being sliced, they will definitely try to escape as much as possible, and want to avoid becoming a guinea pig in the laboratory, but Alicia doesn't seem to care about this, and even actively cooperates.Tony says that's because she's fearless, and people who don't know what "fear" is, people who are more capable than those who want to control her, don't care too much about it.

Tony has already hired a private detective to trace her whereabouts. She didn't suddenly appear downstairs in Stark Tower. Someone must have seen her.He wondered how she had been hiding her tracks for 20 years.

None of them mentioned the topic of "growing up" again.

Pepper told her what a "normal" 13-year-old girl would like, such as beautiful dresses, boys at school, pocket money, ice cream, Barbie dolls, decorations, a journal with a lock (and now a book on a smartphone) apps), taking selfies, chasing stars, going to popular online celebrity restaurants to eat, and so on.

They actually went to an online celebrity dessert shop and bought all the small cakes in the shop, causing the customers waiting behind them to complain.The clerk was busy packing and apologizing.

Alicia was listening to music with earphones plugged into her ears, but she didn't hear any complaints from other customers at all, and of course she wouldn't care if she heard them.Pepper also pretended not to hear: Who says you can't buy them all at once?

The customers complained quietly, and when Happy stood next to Alicia, no one dared to complain in front of her.Although Harpy looks like a good man, he is strong and looks like a good guy, no one wants to mess with him.

"Happy, don't stand, sit down." Alicia tugged at his sleeve.

Happy dragged a chair and sat down, "Buying so many small cakes? If you like cakes, the chef at home can make a big one for you."

Pepper smiled, "Happy, that's the fun of shopping, you have to 'buy'."

Alicia agreed, "That's it." He took a small box from the paper bag and gave it to him, "Try it, I think his home is not bad, it's one of the best desserts I've ever eaten."

Happy struggled, "I'm a bit overweight."

"You are too overweight." Alicia said directly.

Happy glared at her, opened the carton, took a small spoon, took a big bite, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Back at the Malibu villa, Pepper asked Alicia to put on a new dress and shoes, two thin headbands, a pink rice pearl, and a white rhinestone; perfume.

Tony expressed that he didn't understand Pepper's high interest, but the results were remarkable: Alicia was already a beautiful girl, and after she dressed up carefully, she was an out-and-out little beauty, the kind of girl in school. A beautiful girl who is sure to be surrounded by boys.

Tony whistled, "Nice! Where are we going tonight?"

"Not going anywhere," Pepper replied.

"You are so beautiful and well-dressed, you can't just stay at home. Come on, I'll take you out for dinner."

The advantage of being a billionaire is that you can book a table in even the most popular restaurant with just one phone call.

It's not uncommon for Tony Stark to have dinner with a beautiful woman, and it's more normal to eat with Pepper, but it's a bit rare for Pepper to have a slender little beauty next to him.

"I should hold a party and officially introduce you to those so-called high-class people who are talkative and boring." Tony took the menu and put it on the table, "To save someone from always guessing."

"Well, there is a way." Pepper nodded, "I don't want to hear anyone guessing that she is my daughter and your daughter again."

Tony was surprised: "What?!" It is outrageous for someone to speculate that Alicia is his illegitimate daughter, and there is an upgraded version?

"I have served you for more than ten years, and I have a teenage daughter, which is reasonable in terms of time." Pepper was not angry, but smiled, "You know those people are like this, they are too idle, and, It's too imaginative."

Tony raised his forehead, "I see. Find someone to organize the party as soon as possible, just stay at home."

Alicia's heart didn't fluctuate: Those people are so boring!

The party is quickly underway.

How could Tony Stark's party be rejected?All the guests who received the invitation came excitedly, and it turned out that the CEO of Stark Industries was introducing her cousin Alicia Heath, a talented girl who just came to Los Angeles from a small town in Kansas. Will be enrolled in a secondary school in New York in preparation for applying to college.

The guests asked again, why not enroll in a middle school in Los Angeles?There are also many good middle schools and universities in Los Angeles.

Alicia said politely that New York is very good, she prefers a city with four distinct seasons, and there are many universities in New York and nearby.

The party was complete, and the guests satisfied their curiosity and voyeurism by observing "Stark's Bastard Daughter" up close; Alicia had officially entered the upper class circle of Los Angeles, and Pepper almost believed that she was indeed His own cousin.

Another consequence of the party was that the Pentagon finally came to the door.

They didn't find a middleman, and came directly to the door of the Malibu villa.

Tony was in the underground laboratory with Alicia, and Asimov reported: "Sir, there are two officers outside the gate."

Display the surveillance image at the gate on the big screen.

"I don't know them, ask them who they are, ask them to take out their documents and scan them."

The two officers produced their military IDs, as Asimov had requested.

"Ask them what they do."

"Mr. Stark, we want to talk to you about Alicia Heath."

Alicia looked up at the big screen, "Asimov, let them in."

After a while, the Hummers driven by the officers stopped in front of the villa.The door is open, but no one is there.

"Mr. Stark?"

A drone flew out, and Tony's voice sounded, "Gentlemen, follow it."

When the officers went down to the laboratory, both of them glanced at Tony first, then immediately at Alicia, and then at each other.

"U.S. Army, Major Jerry Hanks." Holding out his hand.

"U.S. Army, Major Gerry Penn." He also held out his hand.

Tony ignored their outstretched hands, "Major." This level is neither high nor low, promoted from captain, not too old, and will not participate in the experiment that year, and is an uninformed person with authority.

There were no comfortable chairs in the lab, and Tony was clearly not prepared to entertain them both.

All 4 people were standing, Alicia put down the items in her hand, "Is there anything you need to find me?"

Major Hanks was younger, a little nervous and curious, "Miss Heath, we—I mean the U.S. Army have been looking for you for 20 years."

"Then your efficiency is really low." Tony said sarcastically.

"Project Phoenix hasn't actually been shut down, Miss Heath," Major Pan said. "The Army wants you back in the Pentagon."

Before Tony could get angry, Alicia said, "No, I don't want to go back. I've been in the basement of the Pentagon for more than ten years, and you haven't figured out what I am. I'm tired of staying in that damn place."

"Where you want to go, you can say it."

"I want to be with Tony Stark. I authorize him to study me. If you want to continue the Phoenix Project, first, it depends on whether I am willing to cooperate. Second, it depends on whether Mr. Stark is willing to you Step in. These two conditions are indispensable."

Major Hanks had an incredulous expression on his face, "Miss Heath, you don't want to compete with the American army."

Alicia smiled, "I left the Pentagon alone. For 20 years, I have traveled around the United States and Canada, and traveled abroad dozens of times, but you have not found me. Why are you threatening me with force now? She made a "drive away" gesture, "you go, while I'm in a good mood now."

Major Pan turned to Tony, "Mr. Stark, you know what the army wants to do, and it will definitely succeed. You can think about it carefully. Let's take our leave first."

The officers left quickly.

Tony looked at her and sighed, "Look! Once you're out of military orders, they don't think you're important anymore."

"Don't the army want your armor?"

"Don't think about it, and they can't force me to hand over the armor. The power core of the armor is the ark reactor, and only I have mastered this technology."

"Army doesn't like having superpowers they can't control."

"This is also the purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s 'Avengers Project'. You have power beyond ordinary people, but you are not monitored by the government. That will scare them." Tony is also very helpless, he has concerns , you have to compromise. In contrast, Alicia is the one who can ignore anyone without any worries.

Representatives of the U.S. Army did not reappear.

The heart surgeon set a date for surgery, and Tony stayed in Los Angeles for another week.

On the day of the surgery, Happy was still driving Tony, Pepper, and Alicia to Sid-Sinai Medical Center.

Just after driving out of the Malibu area, two black bulletproof SUVs merged into the main road from the side road. One SUV copied in front of Happy, and the other stopped behind. The two vehicles attacked, but Happy failed to escape. He rolled over and over again, fell off the road, and fell straight to the bottom of the cliff.

The author has something to say: *Gears of War is from 1979, so I can't write it.
