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

"Pepper can do whatever she wants." Tony clearly supported his girlfriend.

"Of course she can." Fury doesn't really mind it, the art of management is like this, where power needs to be emphasized, there may be compromises, and the people below always emphasize authority and power when doing things, to fight for jurisdiction, Managers are more concerned about the art of balancing power.Like, now he can't always say "no" to Tony.

The biological laboratory of S.H.I.E.L.D. has issued some test reports, submitted them to Asimov simultaneously, and performed gene sequencing again.

After Stephen Strange returned from London, he made a special trip to the Avengers headquarters for this purpose.

"I'm not an expert in genetic research, but what's written on it," Dr. Strange flipped through the genetic report on the hand-held device, "is really very interesting. Mr. Stark, have you heard of 'mitochondrial Eve'?"

"I've heard that mitochondrial Eve and chromosome Adam."

"The mitochondria of all females on the earth come from the only female ancestor, and only her mitochondria are inherited; similarly, the Y chromosomes of all males on the earth come from the only male ancestor, and only his chromosomes are inherited. Of course this does not mean that in In the distant past, there was only this woman and this man, but the Y chromosomes of other men were not inherited, but their gene fragments would exist in the genetic sequence; the same is true for mitochondria. And Alicia, her mitochondria are Unique, unlike any woman."

"That means she's older than Mitochondrial Eve?" Or is Alicia 10,000+ years old?This is still a little too unbelievable.

"Your way of thinking is still on the earth." Strange said slightly mockingly.

Tony immediately corrected, "So, she might be an alien?" Aliens certainly don't have the mitochondrial sequence of Earth humans.Now he clearly knows that there are alien humans, and it is easy to understand if he jumps out of the earth and looks at the universe.

"It's hard to say whether they are aliens, but they are certainly not normal humans. If it can be confirmed that there are descendants of other races besides the group of modern Homo sapiens who came out of Africa, then genetics, anthropology, genetic archaeology important discovery."

"What about the mutants?" Hank McCoy, the representative of the mutants, raised his hand and asked.Unlike his nickname "The Beast", Hank's human appearance is a cute, shy, tall boy who doesn't even look 20 years old.

"You didn't detect the mutant gene."

"However, not all mutants have been tested for genetic sequences, and it is not ruled out that there are mutant genes that we do not understand. Gene mutations may appear in any segment, and no one can say for sure."

"Or, you should find your alien friends and obtain some genetic data of Asgardian humans. I think that a highly developed civilization must have some research on genes." Strange said.

"Sol?" Tony mused, "He mentioned that people on Earth can only travel to other planets through the Rainbow Bridge, and the first stop must be Asgard, and the records of the Rainbow Bridge are very complete, and no humans on Earth have passed through. The Rainbow Bridge went to other planets and brought humans from other planets back to Earth, and no humans from other planets went to Earth and did not return. Unless there are some loopholes, you can go back and forth without going through the Rainbow Bridge.”

Sol made an interstellar phone call and explained to him the working principle of the Rainbow Bridge. He said that when he finished his work, he would come to Earth to visit him and Alicia, and by the way, the Aspen Bridge he needed. Gard's genetic research data brought.

Tony jokingly mentioned that in Norse mythology, Odin, the king of the gods, had many lovers. Maybe Alicia was the child of Odin who was left on the earth.Sol wasn't angry, but explained very seriously that Odin's genes were special and it was impossible to give birth to a daughter.

Well, aliens who can't joke or something can be pretty funny sometimes.

He also noticed that Sol skillfully avoided the question of whether Odin has ever been to Earth—it must have been, Norse mythology evolved based on real events in a distant era, and the lifespan of the Asgardian royal family far exceeds that of humans on Earth , The passage of time on the two planets is also different. It is not surprising that Odin came to Earth thousands of years ago.

Putting this question aside for the time being, when Sol comes, he will know whether Alicia is Asgardian. Thor will come here to confirm this-if it is confirmed that she is Asgardian The descendants of the Germans or Asgardians, the ensuing problem is that there is actually a secret passage outside the Rainbow Bridge to go to the earth, which means that Asgard has a security loophole, which is terrible big deal!

"Charles has come back from the North Pole. He is busy with the start of school these days. He wants to know when you can take Alicia to school." Hank talked about another important thing, "Charles Saying that he couldn't find Alicia's brainwaves, it means that either Alicia is 'not human', or her ability is to block other people's perception."

This is a little easier to accept.

Strange also said: "Alicia's affinity for magic is also extraordinary. Wang just explained the principles of magic to her. She has already learned how to use the hanging ring. This speed can be said to be amazing." He also felt a little uncomfortable. Comfort, and surprise.At the beginning, it took him quite a while to master the working principle of the suspension ring. Wang said that it took him the longest time, because at that time he always believed that magic did not exist, and science was the truth of the universe.

And Alicia is the one who has mastered the skill of hanging the ring the fastest since the temple records.

Wang was full of praise for her and loved her very much. He said that if the ancient one was still there, he would definitely find a way to let Alicia enter the magical world and learn to become a temple mage.

Strange also noticed this, "Mr. Stark, don't you think she not only has an unknown origin and a confusing life experience, but also has countless incomprehensible things? For example, every—— yes, I noticed, almost every Anyone who has met her can't help caring about her and loving her, it's almost like magic."

Hank raised his hand again, "This may also be a manifestation of superpowers. There was a little curly-haired girl in California decades ago. Everyone loved her. She used this ability to become a well-known child star all over the world. Then he became a diplomatic ambassador."

It was the first time Tony and Strange had heard of this matter, and they all expressed surprise.

On Monday, school starts.

First day of school, not much to say.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. became a foreign language teacher at Situ Vincent High School, teaching French.

Alicia took French as an elective.

Pepper bought dresses, shoes and socks for her according to the dressing style of the rich second generation in the Upper East Side. Among her classmates, she obviously dressed too delicately. Before the end of the day, all the tenth grade students knew that she and Pepper Po Zeus and Tony Stark's relationship.

Her academic level has been able to go directly to the 12th grade, but she is only 13 years old on the identity certificate. After asking her what she meant, Pepper decided to let her enter the 3th grade, so that the age gap between her and her classmates will not be too big , only [-] years apart, can better integrate into classmates.

She didn't want to participate in any of the club activities - she didn't need to be active in any club activities in order to prepare for college applications, but a new student is not easy to be isolated or too arrogant. She called Pepper and asked to participate. Book club, quiz group and KeyClub volunteer group.

But these clubs were too nerd, so I signed up for the swimming team selection the next day.

Tony took her out to dinner on Monday night.

"How's school?" Tony drove, with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent's car following behind.

"Where's Pepper?" Alicia sat in the passenger seat.

"She went to Washington DC for a meeting."

"The school is very good. Some of the students are very smart, but of course there are also idiots, but the proportion is not high, which is okay." The reason why I chose Situ Wensen High School is also because this school is very difficult to get into. Screened out the real idiots.

"Did someone bully you?" He was worried about this.For a gifted child, the malice of children of the same age is really unbearable. He also skipped a grade to go to high school. His classmates were jealous of his intelligence, and because he was thinner than his classmates, he had a difficult time. It's bad enough that his father's money doesn't make him more popular, and he gets taken for a ride until he learns how to deal with it and goes "like a normal guy" in school.

"Not yet. Besides, Sarah and Natasha have taught me a lot of fighting skills, so I'm not afraid of fighting anymore." She was even a little eager to try, hoping to have a chance to fight with someone earlier.

If Tony hadn't had to hold the steering wheel with both hands, he would have wanted to hold his forehead: "Don't, don't think about fighting." Good girls don't fight, heck, at least under his protection, she doesn't have to fight anyone. "Whoever bullies you, you tell me, and I will take care of her, or him."

"No one will treat me badly."

Oh, it is.He forgot that she had an aura of "everyone loves me".

She's grown an inch, not much; she's also gained almost 10 pounds, and she's no longer looking terribly thin, which is probably a thank-you thing because she's starting to "grow up."

Asimov and S.H.I.E.L.D. researchers agree that she now eats at least 5 adult portions at each meal, taking in a lot of calories, and finally turning on her growth genes.

Then came the problem, the arrival of puberty.

On Sunday night, Tony was woken up by Alicia who had sneaked into his bedroom: "Ellie?"

Asimov heard his voice and turned on the wall lamp.

"I don't want to wake you up, but since you're awake, can you tell me where Pepper's personal belongings are?"

Tony didn't understand what she was saying at first, but then he saw the blood stains on the hem of her cotton nightgown, and suddenly realized.
