Happy walked into the Avengers Building with a big gift box in his arms, and met Pepper who had just returned from a meeting outside holding a folder. He immediately sucked his fat belly, and chatted with her with a nervous smile. Say hello.

"Pepper, have you just come from out, have you had lunch?"

"No, there are still several urgent documents to be signed. How about you, have you eaten yet?" Pepper asked with a smile.

"I haven't eaten either. I just came back from the orphanage." Happy rubbed his hands on his trousers, swallowed and said, "Pepper, how about I treat you to lunch?"

"Yes." Pepper readily agreed, then pointed to the gift box tied with a red bow in Happy's arms and asked, "Did you buy a gift?"

"Is this?" Happy said with a smile: "A child in the orphanage put it with the dean and asked her to help give it to our young master. They said that they had a good relationship when they were in the orphanage, so follow The foster family left this gift before they left."

"What a sweetheart, then you send the gift up, and I'll call you when I'm done working here." Pepper glanced at his watch and said.

After hearing this, Happy said quickly: "Okay, then I'll go upstairs now, don't worry, I'm not hungry yet."

Pepper smiled, waved his hand and went back to his office, leaving Happy smiling silly at her back for a minute before leaving.

"Someone gave me a gift? But I don't have any friends there." Xiao Wei Ni lay on the table and looked at the beautiful gift box without any signature in front of her, with a very puzzled expression.

Hearing Xiao Weini said that he has no friends, Tony said in disbelief: "What, you have no friends. I think you are quite eloquent, how come you have no friends?"

Although his eldest son Yun Xiangdi seems to have a cold temperament, he is very good at making friends (friends in various senses). Why does his younger son look lively and cute, but he doesn't know how to make friends.

To the new father's question, Xiao Weini replied very calmly: "Of course I have friends who I can play with, but I don't have friends who are close enough to exchange gifts with each other. The competition in the orphanage is fierce. Children like me who are more popular with nuns and adoptees are not liked by everyone. Because I hide from the adopters every time, I am not bullied by those older children. The one who lived in the same room as me before One kid was bullied badly by the older kids because he was good looking and wanted to be adopted. Once they pushed him off a swing and he lost a few of his teeth, but later he He was adopted by a dentist, and the gentleman said he would give him beautiful teeth."

When Xiao Weini said these words, he didn't have any sad emotions at all, but Tony felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. What kind of life did his child live before? Just because he was more lovable, he would attract The bullying of other children, those bear children should really be thankful that they are still young, otherwise he would have rushed over to teach them a lesson.

After hearing these words, Banner pushed his glasses in surprise and said, "Are orphanages so social now? I thought the children should be innocent and kind."

"Then you are really innocent and kind." Natasha snorted and said, "Orphanages represent the dark side of society. Even if the children originally had little white wings and lived in the shadows for a long time, no matter how white the wings are, will be blackened."

Natasha has been trained in the Soviet secret service organization since she was a child, but she also lived in an orphanage for a while before that, so she has a good understanding of life in the orphanage.

The resources in the orphanage are generally relatively tight. When they cannot be equally distributed to each child, the children naturally form a competitive relationship. Only by winning over other children can they get better food and more beautiful clothes. , more fun toys, and more adoption opportunities.When the adults are competing, they will hypocritically whitewash the peace, but the children's methods are much more straightforward. The children are the simplest and the most cruel. You will never imagine what some children will do to make themselves happy. Terrible things are coming.

Feeling Natasha's depression, Xiao Weini held her face and smiled sweetly at her, saying, "Sister Natasha, my wings are still white, and I'm still a good boy."

Those dark memories in Natasha's heart disappeared in an instant. She laughed and said, "Yes, you are the cutest little angel."

"Hey." The child laughed so hard when he heard that he was praised as a little angel.But he didn't care about being happy, and after laughing, he asked, "I'm a little angel, so are dad and brother angels? Is our whole family angels?"

Tony heard him say this and said without thinking, "Ah, I'm not an angel, I'm Iron Man."

Angels have to abide by the rules, but he just wants to play in the world, so he just needs to be a mere Iron Man.

But after seeing the child's slightly disappointed expression, Tony quickly continued, "Although I'm not an angel, your brother is an angel."

"My brother?" Xiao Weini's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is my brother really an angel?"

"It's absolutely true." Tony said affirmatively, "His English name is Angel Stark."

"Wow, my brother is an angel, that's great, I knew he was the best." Xiao Weini waved his hands happily, apparently just like Yun Xiangdi, this incident made him extremely happy.

Seeing the happy dancing of the child, Steve reached out and touched his head, and said, "It turns out that Yun has such a name, so cute."

He was just talking to himself, but Tony overheard him. Tony felt sour because of Steve rubbing his child's head, so he immediately said, "You don't know the English name of Yun." , your boyfriend is really competent!"

"..."

Although I really want to fight back, I still have to be patient.

Steve silently recited "All for the sake of family harmony" several times in his heart, then smiled at little Weini and said, "Weini, shall we open the presents?"

"Okay!" Xiao Weini immediately cheered after hearing this, and then pulled the ribbon with one hand and tore off the wrapping paper of the small flowers on it.Even if they don't know who gave the gift, a child will never be able to restrain themselves from opening it.

The wrapping paper with small floral flowers on the white background was quickly torn off, but what was exposed was not an ordinary gift box, but a very old brown wooden box, and the size and style of the box were impressive. Feeling very uncomfortable.

"Is this really a gift?" Tony frowned.

The nervous Clinton didn't feel anything. He shrugged and said, "Tony, the children in the orphanage, you can't expect them to send anything good."

While the two were talking, little Weini had already lifted the lid of the wooden box. Inside the box was covered with bright red velvet, and inside lay a doll the size of a child. The doll was wearing a small black suit and its ugly face was painted white. Grimly painted, with wide-open brown eyes, it looked... looked like a dead body lying in a coffin.

Several adults felt that their backs were hairy when they saw it, not to mention Xiao Weini, who only took one look, and immediately closed the lid of the box with a "bang", then ran behind Tony and hugged his leg, shouting in fear: "I don't want this, throw it away! Throw it away!"

Seeing that the child was frightened like this, Tony quickly motioned Clinton to hold the wooden box away, then squatted down and patted Xiao Wei Ni's back to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a doll, Dad just throw it away Lose."

Clinton immediately carried the box out with satisfaction, and said, "I will ask the staff to throw this thing into the trash can, Xiao Wei Ni, don't be afraid."

Xiao Wei Ni was still very scared. He stared at Clinton with terrified eyes and entered the elevator, and then he lay on Tony's chest and trembled slightly and said, "It must be Esther, she heard me speak ill of her, So she came here."

"Who is Esther, is she a child in an orphanage?" Tony asked.

"Yeah." Xiao Weini nodded, and whispered as if she was afraid of being heard: "She is very bad, very scary, and the children in the orphanage are afraid of her."

"Did she do anything to you? Or to any other child?"

This time, Xiao Weini shook his head, but then he said: "Once I heard the mother dean introduce Esther to an adopter, she said that there was a fire in Esther's previous adoptive home, The whole family burned to death and Esther cried to the adopter and said she felt bad about it, but I could tell she was very, very happy about the fire. I thought she was bad, I don't like her."

The child's frightened little face was a little pale, but Tony didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat him on the back and said: "Okay, don't like it or not, you will never see her again. Don't I'm afraid, dad made you a gift with his own hands, it was given to you when preparing dinner, but now dad will give it to you, okay?"

Xiao Wei Ni sniffed, and forcefully suppressed the tears in her eyes and asked, "What gift?"

"It's up to you to take it apart and see for yourself." Tony said as he ordered the little stupid hand to bring up the gift he had prepared.

This gift is the same as the one given to Yun Xiangdi before. It is wrapped in golden shiny wrapping paper and tied with a bright red bow. It was originally a very festive color, but after experiencing the gift just now, this bright red bow seems a bit It's weird.So Tony tore the bow and threw it into the trash can, and then stuffed the golden gift box into Weini's hand.

"Open it, my son."

Xiao Wei Ni looked up at Tony, obviously the scene of unwrapping the gift just now made him feel terrified, but after receiving Tony's encouraging eyes, he became interested in the gift again.

This time he opened it a little cautiously, took a while to open the box, and then cried out happily.

Tony gave Yun Xiangdi a robot cat, and Xiao Weini gave a robot bear, not a little bear, but a cartoon brown bear, with a specially made big head, body and limbs. It is round and chubby, and looks very cute.

The child's sincere liking gave Tony a sense of accomplishment. He lifted his chin and said, "In the future, it will play with you and protect you. Now, Vinny, give it a name."

"I'm going to call it Ball Ball, it's as round as a ball." Xiao Wei Ni said while touching the round belly of the robot bear.

The eyes of the little bear who got the name lit up, and it jumped out of Xiao Weini's embrace cleverly, bowed clumsily to Xiao Weini, and then said to Xiao Weini in a soft voice: "Master, Ball is at your service."

With the company of Qiuqiu, Xiao Weini had a great time in the following time, until Pepper came over two hours later.

"Tony, why did you throw the doll in the elevator? Although it looks a little ugly, you can't just throw it around." Pepper walked in with a document in one hand and a doll in the other.

The doll had a pale face with a stiff smile on it. Following Pepper's movements, the eyeballs gurgled, and it looked like a disdainful smile with rolling eyes.

Seeing this doll, everyone's expressions changed in an instant.

Clinton hurriedly swore: "I watched it being taken away by the cleaners, and I specifically asked him to throw it away."

"What, what?" Pepper was taken aback, and immediately let go of his hand.

The doll made a "click" sound, and its head fell to the ground facing the direction of the crowd. This time, its eyeballs did not move, but stared at them blankly, really looking a little bit desperate.

Seeing this scene, Tony walked up to Xiao Weini to block his view, and then said with a gloomy face, "Jarvis, let's see who threw it in the elevator."

"Yes sir."

Jarvis immediately called up the surveillance video in the elevator and played it on the holographic projection screen.

From the surveillance, it can be clearly seen that before Pepper walked into the elevator, the elevator room was empty, but the moment she opened the elevator door, this doll appeared in the corner of the elevator, lying in a distorted posture. On the ground, it looks like it was thrown there casually.

"Has the video been tampered with?" Natasha asked.

"The video is intact and no one has moved it," Jarvis replied.

"So this doll just appeared out of nowhere? That's kind of weird," Clinton said, rubbing his arms together.

Tony took a breath from his nose, obviously not believing the argument, he continued to order: "Jarvis, call out the surveillance after Barton went out just now, let's see if the cleaner actually threw this thing away go out."

Jarvis immediately called up those surveillance videos, but from those videos, it can be seen that the cleaner did throw the doll and the box into a trash can a few streets away, and the box can be seen now. It's in that trash can, and no one has touched the box in that time.

Tony took a few steps to the console, raised his hand and clicked on it a few times, and then a small aircraft the size of a palm flew out of the window.

Half a minute later, the aircraft flew to the trash can. Tony controlled it to transform into two metal claws, and then opened the lid of the box.The box was empty, save for a blinding piece of blood-red velvet.

"Damn it." Tony cursed.

"Burn it," Steve said, walking over to reach out and pick up the doll, ready to throw it into the nearby fireplace and burn it.

But when his hand touched the doll, the doll suddenly let out a miserable scream, and then disappeared into a puff of black smoke.

"Ah!" Pepper couldn't help screaming, this scene was beyond her psychological tolerance.Holding the documents in her arms tightly, she asked tremblingly, "Tony, what the hell is going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just some cover-up, don't be afraid. Pepper, go back to the office and have a drink and have a good rest." Tony patted Pepper's shoulder to comfort him, then turned to look at Steve and asked : "What did you just do?"

"Nothing." Steve glanced at the hot palm and said, "It's Yun, he drew something on my arm, saying that with that demon, ghosts and ghosts would not be able to hurt me."

Although it was inappropriate, but after hearing this passage, there was another little spark of jealousy in Tony's heart.His elder son was always indifferent to him, but he was so nice to Steve, an old popsicle, hum, not happy!

"But you don't have anything on your arms." Banner was standing next to Steve, and he glanced at his two arms when he heard that. Steve was wearing short sleeves now, so he could clearly see There was nothing on his arms but some hairs.

"Those things disappeared after the painting, but I can feel it is getting hot now," Steve said.

"So what is Yun Dao hiding from me? It sounds like he is very capable." Tony reached out and knocked on the table and said.

"Uh..." Steve realized belatedly that he seemed to have accidentally revealed what Yun had asked him to keep secret.

Steve pursed his lips when he saw everyone's expressions, thinking about how to round up the words, Tony gave him a speechless look, and said, "Don't hide it, you won't lie at all. And I already knew My son is a little different, so, let's say, what the hell is he going to do."
