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

Red Lotus Mental Asylum, Newark, New Jersey.

Ruby Dolan, 28, former Sports Illustrated model, was admitted to the hospital on December 2006, 12.

"How are you, Tony?" Ruby asked calmly in the white room.

There are dominoes on the table, and she is slowly placing dominoes of various colors.

"I'm fine, how about you?" He sat down opposite her.The advantage of being a benefactor of a mental hospital is that he can meet her in any room he wants, and he doesn't have to follow the hospital's regulations.

"You haven't seen me for a long time." Ruby smiled and gave him a wide-eyed look.

Compared with 6 years ago, she has hardly changed in appearance, she is still so transparent and beautiful, like an elf who has fallen into the mortal world by mistake.

He still couldn't help his heart pounding, just like when he first saw her back then.

It should be said that there are so many beautiful girls in the Big Apple, but this ruby ​​fascinates him. He saw her at a charity party for the first time and wanted to date her.Of course they dated, once, twice, three times, many times.

Until Christmas of that year.

Tony remembers having a terrible Christmas that year, but until now, he didn't know if he really hated her.

Maybe, not throwing her to FBI or CIA, S.H.I.E.L.D., just secretly hiding her in a mental hospital, that's a good idea - no one can really hate a beauty, even if she hurts your heart.

"You know why I can't come and see you." Tony smiled too.

"I heard that you have a new girlfriend, Pepper, right? I remember her. She has a good temper, gentle and strong, and has always liked you."

"——Not because of her." In the first year, he came to see her every month, sometimes several times a month; in the second year, he came less often, and was kidnapped for several months in between; Years, only came twice.He was busy designing steel armor, constantly improving and updating, he poured his enthusiasm into creation and innovation, and forgot about her.

Now, he suddenly discovered that it might not be by accident that Alicia would come to him.

So, does Alicia really know nothing about Ruby?

Since the kidnapping in Afghanistan, he has seriously lacked trust in others. There are not many people worthy of his trust. Pepper, Happy, and now at most Stephen Strange and Bruce Banner.

He doesn't actually trust Alicia.

Ruby's blond hair is as brilliant as it was six years ago, only it's no longer a well-trimmed cut, messy and just shoulder-length.

"Why did you come? Did something happen?" She put down the last domino, and then gently pushed it down.

The dominoes fell one by one, forming a strange pattern on the white square table.

Tony found it difficult to answer. "It's nothing, I just thought of you suddenly and wanted to come and see you. Have you been here enough? You know, you can say it at any time, as long as you say it, I will take you out of here."

"I can't answer things that I don't know myself."

Tony sighed, "That's terrible."

In the evening, Tony returned to Manhattan.

"Is Alicia back?"

"Miss Heath came back 50 minutes ago. Sir, S.H.I.E.L.D. internal alert, Baron Strack escaped from secret custody on Long Island."

Tony frowned dissatisfiedly, "Damn it!" S.H.I.E.L.D. is not monolithic either.So neither Bruce Banner nor Steve Rogers lived in immediately after their apartment was remodeled.Steve had rented an apartment outside himself before, and Bruce's residence had always been uncertain, and it still is.

While he was in the hospital, Bruce visited him and told him about the S.H.I.E.L.D. mole issue.Since the disappearance of him and Alicia, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been secretly conducting strict internal reviews. Natasha and Barton lead the tracking and search operations. Nick Fury no longer brags about the safety of S.H.I.E.L.D. question.

Alicia came up after a while, "Tony, have you heard that Strack escaped."

"I heard." I also immediately checked the relevant surveillance video. In order to rescue Baron Sterak, Hydra did not hesitate to expose several secret spies hidden in the S.H.I.E.L.D.He sneered: "Frey can no longer boast how loyal his agents are and how unbreakable S.H.I.E.L.D. is."

He sat down on the sofa and motioned for her to sit across from him.

Spinning the whiskey glass in his hand, he looked at her silently for a long time.

The elevator door opened, and Pepper came in. Seeing them sitting on the sofa silently, looking at each other seriously, she asked strangely, "What are you doing?"

The two turned their heads at the same time and glanced at her.

Pepper felt even more strange, "What's the matter? Did something happen today? Tony? Alicia?"

"Something happened: Strack was rescued by Hydra," Tony said.

Pepper was surprised, but not terribly worried.

"I'm fine, that's all." Alicia shrugged.

"How is the school? Nothing bad happened, right?" Pepper sat next to her and brushed her hair: black hair as straight as silk, smooth and fragrant.

"No, I know a few more interesting children, they will not be stupid, and they are kind-hearted."

"That's good. Have you had dinner? If not, let's have something at the restaurant next door, shall we?"

So the three of them went out to eat.

Pepper pretends that Strack's escape doesn't exist, Tony pretends not to know about a suspected clone, and Alicia pretends not to know that they both have their own agendas.

Tony forcefully told a few jokes to invigorate the atmosphere, and Pepper also forced himself to say, "This joke is so funny."

None of the 3 people ate much.

After dinner, I took Alicia to buy a dress for the homecoming dance.

Tony Stark is used to buying things without looking at the price or asking about the price, so he went straight to a high-end fashion store and said that my brother has plenty of money, so don’t save it for me, it doesn’t matter if one is not enough, or two or three .

Pepper put forward specific requirements to the teller, and the teller gave Alicia a few dresses with the right style to try on according to her size.

Tony was very absent-minded, and Pepper only thought he was impatient to accompany the woman shopping, and didn't think much about it, and of course he didn't ask for his opinion.

"Men, the taste is infinitely close to 'zero'. They only see two kinds of women: those who can sleep, those who can't or those who don't want to sleep." Pepper said quite harshly.

"Where's Tony? Is he the same?"

Although Pepper felt uncomfortable talking about her boyfriend, Tony was too typical to be used as an example. "So is he. You should always see his scandals on the Internet," she made a "disgusted" expression, "He is a 'playboy' in the standard sense, you have to be careful of this kind of man, including boys."

She stood behind Alicia and straightened her hair, "Aren't there any boys in school who want to please you?"

Tony caught this sentence very actively, and immediately paid attention to their conversation with concern.

"Yes, several."

"Anyone?" Pepper smiled.

"Billy, Jack, Kim, Tommy, Chris, Pipo, Paine—" Alicia counted a dozen names.

Pepper was very interested, "Who asked you to be his dance partner?"

"All."

Pepper laughed straight, "Which one did you agree to? Or, do you like one of them a little bit?"

"Tommy, he's better looking and smarter."

"You can invite him over once before the ball, I want to meet him first." Pepper thought for a while, and felt that the Avengers headquarters was not suitable for receiving her dance partner, "You can come to my place." She still lives In the hotel, convenient and easy.

"Okay, I will tell him tomorrow, if I have time tomorrow, I will call you in advance."

Tony thinks the relationship between the two of them is very strange: they are not related by blood, but Pepper treats her like a younger sister, and Alicia doesn't mind that Pepper always treats her like a child, and the two get along very harmoniously harmony.

Hey, wait, what did he miss?Back in the day, she liked that boy named Tommy?

Where the hell is this Tommy from? !

Finally, Pepper chose two dresses and asked the teller to pack them.

"I need some other accessories, you have them, I will give you a list, tell you what you need; the wrist flower boy will bring you, you have to tell him what color your dress is, he is good Go pick out the color of the flowers." Pepper told her a bunch more.

Alicia nodded obediently.

Pepper did not join them in returning to Union headquarters.

"Are you guys in a cold war?"

"What? No. This is an adult's business, you don't have to worry about it."

Alicia smiled and said nothing.

When Tony got to the top floor, he immediately asked Asimov to go through the profiles of all the boys named Tommy, Tom, and Thomas from Stuyvesant High.

There are 12 Tommy, Tom, and Thomas from the ninth grade to the 7th grade. After analyzing the class schedule, elective courses, entrance scores, appearance, etc., I think one of the 11th grade boys named Tommy Keelan will be the one who invited Alicia boy.

He is really handsome and cute, very thin, with a brilliant report card, and actively participates in club activities. He looks like a good boy with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor.

Does Alicia like this kind of boy?Good boy, good boy.

It can also mean boring.

what!

However, Alicia does not seem to have a sense of humor, and she may prefer boys who are somewhat similar to her.

She has never grown up. Although she is 137 years old, her biological age is only 13 years old. Because she has been in a relatively closed environment, she has not made much progress in her mental age. She is relatively innocent; Like Claudia in "Interview with the Vampire", she will never grow up and can never truly "experience" life.

But now, she is starting to grow up.

She would want to be in a relationship to be normal, and that was the only thing she hadn't experienced.The love of teenagers is probably the cutest and purest, just avoid meeting those playboys.

He still knew too little about her, he thought, he should talk to her more, besides her view on love, he also wanted to find out how she was related to Ruby.He collected samples such as Ruby's blood and saliva, but gene sequencing takes time, so he had to wait patiently.

The first Monday in October marks the start of Homecoming Week at Sidney Vincent High School.

After school in the afternoon, there are a series of activities on campus, one of which is Parents’ Day. The school invites the parents of the students to come to the campus to visit, interact and exchange ideas.

Pepper Potts arrives at Stuyvesant High as Alicia Buffy's cousin and guardian.

——When Tony was applying for Alicia's identity certificate, he felt that the surname "Sith" might be too secondary, so he changed it casually.

Alicia didn't ask "Why didn't Tony come", and took Pepper to visit the classrooms, laboratories, swimming pools, gymnasiums, etc. where she taught.Pepper is socially tactful and handles school staff, other students' parents, etc. well.The chairman of the family committee warmly invited her to participate in the affairs of the family committee, and Pepper was a little embarrassed: the CEO of Stark Industries was very busy, always running around, and might not be able to attend meetings frequently.In the end, I have to say, try to attend some meetings, but if you are not in New York, then sorry.
