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

For 27 days, she didn't sleep well, worried about Alicia's safety - Natasha said that the SHIELD analyst believed that the main target was Alicia, and Tony was collateral damage - and worried about Tony's injury , his injury is the most serious, and he should have been lying in bed to recuperate.

"I'm fine." Tony pretended to be relaxed.He also wears Elven robes and a shoulder bag slung across his back.

"If you don't mind, I can give you a brief inspection first." Strange took Tony away.

"This is where?"

"New York."

"I mean, here." Alicia pointed to her feet.

"A magical temple in New York. I don't know the exact location."

Master Wang has returned, "Greenwich Village." He stared at the jeweled crown in her hand.

Pepper didn't see the crown in her hand until this time, "What is this?"

"—Tourist souvenirs." It is true that there is nothing wrong with souvenirs.

"Can I see it?" A woman can't say no to something shiny.

Alicia handed her the crown.

As a semi-expert who has collected all kinds of art for the wayward Tony Stark for many years, Pepper can see at a glance that the gemstones inlaid in the crown are genuine, but the exact valuation will have to go to a real jewelry appraisal expert.

"You have to store it well." Pepper returned the crown to Alicia, "I got the construction team to remodel your small suite and will install a safe for you, but it's not finished yet, so where do you want to live? Hotel ? Or which apartment do you like, I’ll help you with the lease.” He hesitated, “But you are still a minor in theory, you have to have a guardian, and your guardian seems to be me at present.”

He said enthusiastically: "We can live in that kind of apartment hotel, what do you think?"

Alicia smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Tony, who just came back, shouted: "Hey, hey! What are you doing? Are you going to abandon me?" He was a little pale, and walked slowly. He had already changed into the clean clothes that Pepper had prepared for him.

Strange, who was following him, said lightly: "You should go back to the hospital now and have a thorough examination. Your wound needs to be stitched up again. I'm not a general surgeon, and I won't stitch up your wound."

"I can't let her live outside alone." Pepper took a step back quietly, avoiding Tony's hug. "It's time to go, we can't always disturb the mages."

"I'll send you off." Strange wore a hanging ring on his left hand, and drew a circle with his right hand in vain. A circular portal emitting sparks appeared in front of them.

"What's the principle?" Alicia asked curiously and seriously.

"magic."

"Is it about that ring?"

"It's called a 'slingring,' and it's a - magical medium."

"I know that magic exists on Earth, but I haven't touched it. Just like the librarians just now, they should also use magic."

"Yes. If you are interested, you can come back in a few days, and the king will explain the principles of magic to you."

Master Wang glanced at Strange.

"I'll be back."

"Wait a minute, your cell phone." Master Wang ordered a disciple to fetch her cell phone.

In an instant, they were back on the top floor of Stark Tower.

Tony immediately called Natasha to take Strack.At the same time, Pepper was also busy calling to arrange manpower and cars, and was about to send Tony to the New York University Medical Center. After the arrangements were made, she was busy calling her assistant to come up and ask her to order takeaway for 20 people.

"Since I'm going to be hospitalized," Tony said calmly, "You don't need to go out and stay in any hotel. I'll feel more at ease if you stay in the building."

Pepper hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "OK."

"I'll go to the hospital by myself later, don't go."

Pepper still nodded, "OK."

Surrounded by bodyguards, Tony left without waiting for the food to be delivered.

Alicia was fiddling with her phone, turned it on, "Look, the time on it."

Pepper looked at it, "Indeed, there is a 24-day delay." She was extremely distressed: before Tony publicly announced that he was "Iron Man", her biggest worry was that Tony, the big boss, did not follow the rules. Changing the itinerary frequently and taking women home casually are such "trivial things", now—but the kind of troubles that are life-threatening at every turn.

What "magic" is involved - how can a technological society coexist with a magical age?This goes against the modern education she received, okay?

Also, there is a time delay that I can't figure out.On the way, Tony said that he hadn't eaten or drank water for almost 24 hours. He said it was a bit pitiful, as if he wanted to win her sympathy.She really sympathizes with him, but this kind of intense and exciting life is not good for her heart and is harmful to her health. She is just an ordinary person, not a strengthened person, not a super agent, and not a superhero who can go to heaven wearing a battle armor. Regal is not a magician, she just wants to live the rest of her life safely in her limited life.

But it seems that with Iron Man, the probability that this wish may come true is not high.

All movies, TV, and novels tell you that being the lover of a hero who saves the world is one of the most dangerous things in the world. Heroes must be hard-pressed. A dead wife or girlfriend is standard, and sometimes even children None are spared.

child.

Not long ago, Tony mentioned the matter of the child. Although it was not about his and her children, the meaning of the expression was obvious. Probably because Alicia was always said to be his daughter, so he felt something.

No, no, with such an unstable prospect, she didn't want to bet casually.

She asked herself: Am I scared?What am I afraid of?Maybe it's that instability.You know that a hero always has to go through hardships, and you can be the one who supports him behind the scenes, but if it will become a bloody monument on his heroic road, then you still have to think about it more carefully.

Tony was hospitalized at New York University Medical Center for a month and a half, during which time Natasha came to take Baron Strack;

Pepper is still the CEO of Stark Industries and lives with Alicia on the top floor of Stark Tower;

Tony talked to Nick Fury several times, and Fury agreed in principle that Alicia did not have to go to the SHIELD laboratory to be a guinea pig, but asked her to provide samples needed for various experiments, including blood, hair, etc.;

Tony donated Stark Tower to S.H.I.E.L.D. as the headquarters of the "Avengers";

He still keeps the two floors on the top floor, one is his residence and the other is Alicia's residence. Fury thanked Stark Industries for the donation and expressed his agreement that Alicia, who is not a member of the Avengers, will continue to stay in the building;

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Science Experiments Division immediately added a brand new biological laboratory to the Avengers Building;

There used to be a 10-story technology development laboratory under the top floor of the building, but it has not been changed, but it has been changed to the exclusive technology development laboratory of the Avengers;

Natasha Romanoff lived on the floor below the Technology Development Laboratory, along with Agent Clint Barton.

Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner also have their own apartments, but they haven't moved in yet because they haven't finished remodeling;

Pepper reluctantly moved to a hotel; the new Stark Building in New York hadn't been selected yet, and another building was rented temporarily, and some departments moved to the New Jersey branch not far from Manhattan.

Alicia went to the New York Temple a few times, and Master Wang gave her almost everything he knew about magic, and gave her an extremely long reading list.

Alicia called the Metropolitan Public Library, went to the library, and borrowed 1/10 of the books on the list.

Jacob Stone carefully looked at the list of books that was so long that he felt dizzy: Even he, who is proficient in eight languages, had never heard of most of them.

"Are you sure the person who gave you the book list is not talking nonsense?" The librarians really work in a library and are proud of the library's huge collection of books.Of course, a library meant more than just a "library," but that didn't have to tell her.

"No."

"Most of these books are out of print and can't be borrowed." Ezekiel Jones leaned over—the Asian young man with a clever face. "So, you can only come and see. Don't worry about safety, Jenkins can open a special channel for you, right, Jenkins?"

Jenkins, who is also a librarian's housekeeper, technical support, and head of the house, said seriously: "I will try my best to ensure your safety. As long as you are in the library, absolutely no one can hurt you."

Ezekiel nodded in satisfaction, "If there is anything you don't understand, try to ask me!" He almost patted his chest to promise.

Jacob immediately exposed him, "You? You go away, Ellie wants to study hard, and I don't have time to play with you. Ellie, if you don't understand, you can ask me. I don't know much, except English. 8 foreign languages.” How proud!

"I am fluent in listening, speaking, reading and writing more than 20 foreign languages." Alicia quietly stated.

Ezekiel laughed wildly immediately, "I told you to show off your '8 languages' every time! Cassandra, look! Jacob is about to faint with shame!"

Jacob has a strong psychological quality, "People who can only tell jokes are not qualified to make fun of others."

"I will have more!" Ezekiel protested, "Believe it or not, I can open your door in 5 seconds and throw you to the moon?"

Cassandra took Alicia's arm lightly, "Oh, boys! They will never learn to be quiet!" with a disgusted expression on her face. "I'll help you find other books, I mean, if possible. Did you know that I'm a keeper of the magic thread? I mean, I almost became a member of the Water Witch once, but then, I thought I might It's dehydrating, so I don't want it."

The author has something to say: *Pepper is an ordinary person and has no desire to become a superhero, so the US team 3 mentioned breaking up with Tony.What Pepper wants is "Tony Stark", but Tony can no longer separate himself from the identity of "Iron Man".

*Alicia is going to learn magic.
