May 5 is Tony Stark's 29rd birthday.

Many things happened this year: last year he thought he was going to be poisoned to death before his birthday, so he gave up on himself and wanted to die. Fortunately, he survived, and because of this, he had a new understanding of his father who had been dead for many years; Ugly aliens descended from the sky. This battle was not easy, but with everyone's concerted efforts, it was still won.

Afterwards, he was in a car accident, had surgery, and the shrapnel in his body was gone, and the imminent crisis was eliminated.

With change comes hope, and Alicia is that variable.

In previous years, he would hold a birthday party. Last year's party at the Malibu villa was too successful. This year he didn't plan to invite too many guests.But in the evening, there are still a lot of people coming, some you know, some you don’t know, is it always like this at a party, the host doesn’t know all the guests.

He gave Alicia and Strange a few days' notice, and both agreed to attend his birthday party.

In the month since returning from Iceland, she has grown rapidly and gained another 2 inches. She is now 5 feet 7 inches tall (170cm) and gained 10 pounds, but she is still very thin and still under 100 pounds.

Stephen Strange put on his long-lost suit and watch, but no tie.

Go knock on Alicia's door, "Are you ready?"

After a minute, she opened the door, "Okay."

Strange looked at her in amazement: a bright red satin tube top dress with one shoulder, some red coral beads on the upper body, and a tutu skirt.Still very young, but already has a woman's figure and charming temperament.

She is not used to wearing jewelry, so she still only wears the Wulu bracelet on her wrist.

"You should have some jewelry, girl, I mean every woman should have some jewelry." He entered the room, found a small leather jewelry box from her desk drawer, and took a gold necklace for her to wear. "There is still a lot left over from the 100 million that Sterk Industries gave. I think I can spare tens of thousands of dollars to buy you a slightly better necklace. I think I should expand the business of tracing people in my own name." Business will be good.

Her neck is slender, like a swan from the side, with graceful lines.

Put the necklace on her and look at it again, "Very good, perfect."

Even without the "everyone loves me" superpower, she will be loved by others.

Los Angeles, Malibu.

The party has already started, the music is loud, the drinks are full, and the host has not yet appeared.

Tony Stark has a new personal assistant to take care of his daily chores.Since Pepper became the CEO of Stark Industries, he has changed several personal assistants, and no one knows him better than Pepper.She is careful and courageous. He had never thought about why a smart, capable and courageous woman would be his personal assistant for more than ten years. It was not until she left that he discovered that it was because she had been Love him silently.

But obviously, unrequited love may be happier, and if you really become his girlfriend, you have to bear tremendous pressure that she can't bear.

Pepper returned to the United States and was still the CEO of Sterk Industries, but she tried to avoid meeting him unless there were some meetings he would attend; she also explicitly refused to attend the birthday party without giving him a reason.

He has become a little numb.

He tried to keep himself as busy as possible, busy designing new battle suits and upgrading software all day long, and even found time to design a new battle suit for Alicia's little boyfriend.Peter is a good boy, but he is just a "boy". To be honest, he still can't figure out why she took the child to play house. He and Strange have the same thinking on this point.

Eric Lanshere suddenly came to New York, and quickly started dating Alicia, which surprised him the most. He didn't know how he was feeling: Eric the bastard!How dare he?How can he!

But he can't say anything.

Asimov reported Alicia's whereabouts to him in real time every day. She went back and forth between New York-Kathmandu-London on time every day, and she moved very regularly; He installed a tracker on his new suit, so when they were together and where they went was never a secret to him.

He thought resentfully, if Alicia really started to like Eric, it would be better to pack Peter to her as soon as possible.

This is also very old father psychology.

This time, Alicia finally didn't directly open a portal to his bedroom, but went to the corridor.

Asimov immediately reported to him that Alicia had arrived.

He puts on his suit jacket and walks out of the bedroom, "Alicia." He's also amazed by her: he still always thinks of her as a girl, a child, but now, she's really grown up.

The development of puberty is the maturity of secondary sexual characteristics. Compared with the end of last year, her breasts are already very impressive. Judging by Tony's countless eyes, she must have a perfect shape and feel—ah!what's on your mind!

It's hard to judge others in a tutu skirt, but the lines of a pair of long legs are also very touching.

She is now in the middle stage of a girl and a woman, pure, lovely and charming.

"You are really gorgeous! You are like this... I almost don't know you anymore."

"Stephen also said I was pretty," she said in a good mood, "but I should always be pretty, even without this dress."

Tony immediately changed his words, "You have always been beautiful, and the pretty dress just adds a little bit of charm to you." He made a gesture to indicate how small "a little bit" is.

Strange shook his head aside.

The guests were surprised to see that the host appeared with an extremely beautiful young girl. The girl's eyes were shining like stars, and her face was as delicate and beautiful as the most beautiful rose in the garden. They were all asking if it was Mr. Stark's. new girlfriend.After all, being able to hold hands with Tony at his birthday party must be a special relationship.

Her appearance had changed a lot from last year, and only a few people vaguely remembered that she was Alicia Buffy, Miss Potts' cousin.Tony has broken up with Potts, and it is not surprising that he has a new love. Tony is the famous playboy diamond king.

But none of them could remember how old Alicia was.

Sol came too.

Sol is very interested in the banquets on Earth. He has a good drinker and claims that the wines on Earth he has drunk so far are not comparable to the fine wines of Asgard.Many female customers are very interested in him, the handsome alien with a good body, who would not want to have a close contact with him?

As a result, when he saw Alicia, he left the women who were chatting happily.

"Let me see your bracelet." He knew that the piece of Wulu metal he gave her was tinkered with by Tony, first made a bracelet for her, and then made a magic spell to match his armor The belt, this time he came to the atrium to try the belt, and to participate in the birthday party, or it can be said that he came to the birthday party, to try the belt.

Alicia raised her left hand, and Sol held her hand and looked at the bracelet, "What do you think? Is it useful? By the way, I am here this time to take you to Asgard. Are you The only person I know who has no Asgardian blood but can respond well to Wulu, my mother invited you to Asgard, please do honor me."

"It's very useful and can improve the effectiveness of magic. I've been very busy recently, and I won't have time until another week." The reinforcement work of the London Temple is coming to an end, and there are still a few frequency coordination work in the three temples, but Then she doesn't necessarily need to make a move.

"That's okay, I can wait for you for a week." Saul grinned.The waiter passed by with a tray. He took two glasses of champagne and handed her a glass. "Come on, let's toast to—to Tony!"

Steve Rogers also came over, "Hello, Alicia." His main job this year was to fight against the remnants of Hydra in North America and Europe. He rarely saw her and was even more surprised by her changes. , hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Did you grow up a lot? I remember that you were not so tall." Teenagers grow very quickly during puberty, but it is extremely rare to grow 4 inches a year.

"She's a mutant." Tony chose the simplest way to say it.

Steve suddenly said: "Oh, I see." He didn't know much about mutants, so he thought it was nothing to mutants.But confused, "I remember you were indeed a pretty girl, but not this pretty."

"I've always been so pretty!" Alicia glared at him: she looked like an orphan!Can't talk at all!

Steve didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said.

Strange watched with interest from the eyes of a bystander: Sol is probably immune to her superpowers, but neither Steve nor Tony is immune; Under superpowers; Peter, Pietro, Tommy, needless to say, are all immune; he himself was also immune at first, and now he is much better.

Her problem won't be that no one likes her and loves her, but she may never know if they really love her instead of being affected by her superpowers.

But does she need love from others?

The love of others is a kind of affirmation for us. People who are not confident will worry about whether they are "cute". People who are strong enough not to care about other people's opinions will not worry, and they do not need to use the love of others to maintain their self-esteem.

She is now about the 16-year-old stage of an ordinary human being, somewhere in between a girl and a woman.He is a doctor, of course he knows why girls in this age group are the most eye-catching: they are still very innocent and innocent, and they don’t understand the darkness and disgust in adult society, but their figure is close to that of adult women; outwardly they are the most beautiful stage , psychologically easy to control, is the best accessory-this statement is of course extremely disrespectful to women, but for most men, this is what they actually think.

Tony probably didn't realize his true thoughts, but it showed in his actions-he would hold Alicia's hand and appear in the hall together, which was actually to make it public: This is my woman.

Strange didn't stop her because Alicia wasn't a child, and it wasn't because she didn't understand the meaning.

In the eyes of others, she actually exudes charm, whether consciously or not, which is largely not a good thing-these people she comes into contact with are not ordinary people, and Eric in particular is quite his own way. A guy who doesn't look down, hard to control, very dangerous.

He was worried that Eric would hurt her.

Natasha was there too.

She came earlier and told Tony about Ruby. She used almost all her informants in Moscow, but she only knew that besides Ruby, there was a young clone, but no one knew where she was. .The laboratory used her immature egg cells to clone hundreds of embryos, all of which survived successfully were female embryos, and all male embryos aborted spontaneously after forming reproductive organs.

Bruce Banner believes that Alicia's cloned embryos are likely to have a high rate of deformities, and it is already remarkable that the Soviets can successfully create two clones.But I still want to ask if there are her clones in Britain, France and the United States. After all, if a [-]% copy of her is successfully copied, the prospect is too promising, and no one is not tempted.

Tony looked at Alicia and decided not to tell her about it just yet, or at least after the party.You must tell her that you cannot hide from her, but you must pay attention to the time of speaking.

Natasha was also amazed at how quickly she grew up, but it wasn't surprising considering she was a mutant.

"Look, you're taller than me," said Natasha, laughing.The invincible youth of a girl, as long as she wants, she can be 16 forever.

"Do you like it?" She smiled. "I think it's better to grow taller, and a little taller, 5 feet 10 inches, or 11 inches, or 6 feet 1 inch."

Natasha wanted to laugh: Tony was 6ft 1in tall.

"I like it, you can grow a little taller, 6 feet 1 inch I don't think it's a problem." Then asked: "Furry would really like to know what you are trying to do with the land in Midtown."

"Build a building." She answered briefly: "Didn't he already know about it? I'm going to start a technology company and build a building first." There's nothing wrong with that. She has already found a law firm and is planning to register a company in New York .Fury would know this sooner or later, and there was nothing he couldn't tell him.

"The architect just sent me a sketch of the building, and he still has a few months to revise it."

"Technology company? Are you going to become an opponent with Stek Industries or Pym Technology?"

"No, their business scope is different. Sterk Industries is now focusing on clean energy, Pym Technology and Osborne Industries have a lot of defense orders, and Hiss Technology focuses on quantum communication."

Natasha's eyes widened: "I don't know what quantum communication is at all."

"It is a faster and safer communication method, which is still in the experimental stage. Once it is industrialized, it will be difficult for organizations like SHIELD and the FBI to eavesdrop on citizens' phones."

Natasha raised her eyebrows: "Ha!" This is really sophisticated.

Tony came over, "Alicia, come and meet Norman, Norman Osborn, CEO of Osborne Industries."

Speaking of which, Stark Industries and Osborne Industries have been competitors for many years. Stark Industries has been the Pentagon's largest weapons contractor for a long time since World War II. Osborne Industries and Worthington Industries can only get Stark Industries. The orders that Ke Industry did not want, including the later Hanmer Industry, only had soup.Until a few years ago, Tony, a prodigal son, suddenly announced his transformation and would no longer make military weapons, so Hammer Industries came from behind; but Hammer Industries soon ended because of Justin Hammer's arrogance, Stark Industries, Osborne Industry, Worthington Industry, and Pym Technology jointly divided up most of the physical real estate, production lines, and inventory of Hammer Industry.

Alicia didn't hide the fact that Alicia wanted to start her own technology company. Of course, Tony immediately expressed his support, introduced his law firm to her, and introduced her to other industry leaders.

Norman Osborn was a little surprised why Stark introduced this too young girl to him, but if he came out to mess around, Stark had to give him face, and he kindly praised Alicia a few words. Introduced her to his son Harry Osborn.

Harry is 16 years old this year, and he is a young man who looks very smart and smart at Trinity High School in Long Island, New York.

Norman pulls Tony away.

Harry just looked at the wine glass in Alicia's hand, "I thought you weren't old enough to legally drink."

"I thought you wouldn't obey the law like this." Which child of a rich family doesn't take pride in breaking the law without being punished.

Harry smiled, "I'm not." He took two glasses of champagne from the waiter's plate and handed her a glass, "I see you've drunk a lot, are you a little drunk?"

"No, I drink very well, how about you?"

Harry glanced at Norman. "I'm good at drinking, too. You see, they're always discussing business together. It's so boring! Oh, can you dance? Want to dance with me?"

He gently hugged her waist with his left hand, shaking his body, "Here are some boring guys! Mr. Steck is also very boring! I thought he would be different from before when he became Iron Man."

Alicia really wanted to laugh: Tony will also be dismissed as "boring" one day.

"What about you? Would you like to have fun?"

"I can't say that, it depends on how you think of me." Harry hesitated, "Or I can invite you to my birthday party next time."

"Okay, let me know in advance."

"How can I reach you? Twitter? Or you can give me your phone number, I have a good memory, you don't have to write it down, just tell me."

Harry Osborn got Alicia's phone number as he wished, and immediately sent her a text message.

Norman Osborn was a little confused watching his son having a good time with Tony Stark's young girlfriend.

The party wasn't over past 12 midnight, but the host had already left.

"Ellie, come with me, I have a present for you."

She smiled, "Shouldn't I give you a present for your birthday?"

"Gifts are just formalities. You can come to the party, it is the best gift for me." Brother is 43 years old, not a child waiting to receive gifts.

His gift was a golden hair crown, which was a bit like the gem crown given to her by the fairy queen Titania, but with a simpler design and also inlaid with gems.Among the items she handed over to Nick Fury for sale was a ruby ​​necklace, which is of course considered an antique now. The style is old, and the jewel was removed as an inlay for the golden hair crown, which is extremely beautiful.

"It was originally your birthday present last year, but—" I never had a chance to give it to her, and now I can finally give it to her.

He crowned her hair, and gold and gems gleamed in her black hair.

She did not express joy.

Tony wasn't disappointed either: as an invisible rich man with an untold amount of lost treasure, she shouldn't get too excited about jewelry and the like.

But men, if they have money, they will like to decorate women with jewelry, without exception.

Carefully kissed her on the top of the head, "I will go to New York next week. I said I would take you to eat all the delicious restaurants in New York. There are still many that I haven't eaten yet."

"I have to go back," she said, looking up at him. "Although I don't need to sleep, Stephen still needs to rest."

Just as Tony was about to speak, Asimov's voice suddenly sounded, "Sir, Agent Patton is on the phone. He's looking for Miss Heath."

"Clint? Isn't he in Washington DC?" The headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. is in the capital Washington, and Clint Barton has been staying at the headquarters since returning from the ancient ruins.The huge wooden box he brought back no one knew what it was, and even if Fury knew it, he wouldn't tell him. He asked Alicia sideways, and she didn't know what was inside.

"Agent Patton."

"Alicia, can you hurry back to New York? I'm in Fulian Building, and I need to talk to you about something."

There is a 3-hour time difference between the east and west of the United States, and it is already 3 o'clock in the morning in New York.Suddenly looking for her at this time, it must be something so important that it cannot be delayed for several hours.

"Okay, I'll go back now."

Alicia first returned to the temple, put Strange down, and then took Tony to the Avengers Headquarters Building.

The portal is really convenient, no pollution, no pollution, no side effects, and it arrives in seconds.

Clint Barton is on the top floor of the building.

Alicia moved away, and Tony didn’t live in New York often, so he redesigned and renovated the top two floors. The current penthouse apartment is a very comfortable interior space designed in the form of a clubhouse, with a split-level rest area and two small rooms. Conference room; the third floor is Bruce Banner's laboratory, and the fourth floor is the assembly workshop of the unmanned armor.

Clint is sitting on the sofa on the mezzanine, with a huge wooden box behind him.Seeing the portal appear in the living room under the jump floor, he tilted his head and looked down.

"Alicia, Stark." Some were surprised to see the two walking up hand in hand.

"What's the matter? You haven't opened it yet?"

"It can't be opened. The laboratory has tested almost all the tools and methods, and I really can't help it." Clint spread his hands, frustrated.

"At that time, you stopped me from taking a closer look at it, otherwise I might be able to open it in the ruins." She said coldly.

"Please." Clint made a pitiful begging expression. "You know I'm following orders, and it's Fury's intention not to let you check carefully." Boss, it's for taking the blame.

She walked past him.

Clint suddenly gave Tony a weird smile, raised his left hand, and threw something at Tony.

Tony wanted to sit down, but suddenly found that he couldn't move, and then watched as Clint held a gun in his right hand and shot Alicia in the temple.

The author has something to say: *In the comics, Tony is 6 feet 1 inch tall and 186cm. Students can imagine that Tony has the height of Keanu.

*Suddenly forgot whether Tony's height was written before, if it was written, just... ignore it.

*Quantum communication is currently only a theory and is still being tested.
