[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

"I don't think it's a good idea to have it in our hands," Bill said.

"I agree." Kelly said, carefully looking at the box containing the Rubik's Cube.Bill had also felt that inexplicable attraction before, but after they apparated to New York, they also held the box in their hands experimentally, approaching the waiters and other guests of the hotel, and they didn't respond at all.

Maybe it's a test or something, maybe it's just because the two of them can do magic that triggered the Rubik's cube effect, maybe it won't happen again in the future, but the uncontrollable attraction is too scary, Kelly He and Bill are both people with strong self-control, so they decided not to take this risk.

"So, let's give this thing to Howard Stark now?" Bill asked, "He's not like the Red Skull who has been studying the Rubik's Cube for many years. In the memory you showed me, the weapons of the US military are also much behind Hydra. , sent too late, maybe it’s too late to study.”

"It's only 1933 now, and it won't be too late if you delay it for a few more years." Kelly said, "But it shouldn't hurt to go earlier, after all, he has kept the Rubik's Cube for many years after World War II... Then send it now, I wonder if he's in New York?"

"Whether he's here or not, Stark Industries must have a branch in New York." Bill said, taking the hidden case from Kelly's hand, "I'll go find out the news today."

"Okay, so I'm going to look for information on rental properties?" Kelly asked, "considering that we will—you know, I think the United States is safer than Germany, anyway, you and I are both proficient at teleportation or do you prefer to live in England?"

Bill seemed a little moved, but he thought about it, and shook his head: "America. Anyway, the UK here is not after all—it's also a UK where there is no magic world."

"Sorry." Kelly whispered.

"There's no need to apologize." Bill laughed instead, "This world is quite interesting, besides, I agree, don't I?"

So after breakfast, the two left separately. Bill went to the Stark Industrial office building, while Kelly went to the office of the housing agency alone after asking the front desk lady for the location.

Although fully aware of what this ancient time was like in Germany and Norway, Kelly still felt a trance when walking the streets of Brooklyn: this feeling is exactly the feeling of Captain America in the movie when he wakes up. On the contrary, the captain traveled to 70 years later, while she suddenly came to 80 years ago, but one thing is the same-they can both capture familiar traces on these streets, but they clearly know that this It's not my hometown, but a strange yet familiar embarrassing place that I don't know if it can still be called my "hometown".

This is even more sad than being in a foreign land, and it is more likely to evoke the sadness of parting.

Kelly walked absently while looking at the surrounding scenery.Walking on this street is like walking into a historical film. The difference is that the shots in historical films are usually beautiful, but this street only gives people a feeling of poverty and filth. There are dots scattered on the street. The children chased and beat each other, and the paint on the walls of the houses on both sides was peeling off, looking listless.

Suddenly, she felt someone walking quickly behind her. Kelly immediately came back to her senses and quickly turned to the side, but her reaction was still a step slow. A big boy walked by and bumped hard She, Kelly unavoidably staggered a small step to the side, and her shirt rubbed against the pole, immediately smeared with dust.

"Hey, wait!" She saw the boy looked back at her with provocative eyes, and was about to leave, so she immediately followed a few steps, but before she could catch up, the big boy was suddenly caught by another person Hold the arm.

"You should apologize to her," said the blond boy who grabbed him firmly.He was more than a head shorter than the big boy, and even a little shorter than Kelly. He looked skinny, and the big boy seemed shocked by the fact that he dared to stop him. Really got him hooked.

"Thank you, that's what I was going to say too." Kelly followed closely after a few steps.The big man looked at the two of them and laughed.

"Boy, do you also want to be a hero to save the beauty? It's up to you?" He disdainfully threw a punch at the thin blond boy, and Kelly quickly pulled him away to avoid the opponent's fist.She had already recognized that the thin teenager was definitely Steve Rogers.

The big boy sneered and threw a second punch, and Kelly slapped Rogers sideways on the shoulder, causing him to bend over and dodge the punch again.Before the big man retracted his hand and made another blow, his fist was suddenly grabbed.

"Hey, you picked the wrong guy for a fight," said the brown-haired boy who caught his fist, and he grabbed the opponent's arm and twisted it violently, and the big hair let out a painful wail: as Kelly saw , he only relied on brute strength, and he didn't have any fighting skills at all, "What's wrong this time, Steve?"

"He hit this girl," Steve Rogers said, rubbing the shoulder that Kelly had just slapped.

"Then you should apologize to her." Bucky released him and gave him a threatening look.Kelly watched this scene playfully. She herself practiced taekwondo since she was a child, and she was well-known in high school and college, so she had never encountered being saved by a hero—let alone being rescued by two fifteen or sixteen-year-olds. The young hero who saved the beauty, her actual age would be over thirty in two lifetimes!This was the first time she encountered such an experience in her life, but it was really a bit fresh.

"I'm sorry." The other party apologized vaguely and mumbled, and looked away.

Kelly raised her eyebrows: "Well, be careful next time you walk, sir, although I'm sure you did it on purpose this time."

The big boy left in a little embarrassment.Bucky turns to Steve: "Hey, are you all right?"

"I'm already close to winning," Steve replied.

"Yeah, I saw it." Bucky patted him on the shoulder, "What about you, miss?"

"It's all right, thanks. My name is Kelly, Kelly Cosmo," Kelly said.She looked up at Bucky carefully, her eyes widening slightly.

Bucky was standing against the light just now, but now that he's turned to Steve, Kelly can really see his face clearly.He is indeed handsome, even though he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his eyebrows have already grown, and he is tall, his eyes are bright sapphire color in the sun, but if you look closely, you will feel that maybe this is just an illusion of light, the real color It should be bluish-gray—the sunlight outlined his cheekbones and jawline, and Kelly's heart beat a little faster for a moment.

She has seen quite a few handsome guys in her two lifetimes, both in movies and in real life, not to mention, Bill is also very handsome.But Kelly hasn't had such a moment in many years, and it's far from love at first sight, but in that short half a second, she was indeed "stunned" by Bucky's looks.

But after all, she was still able to hold back on the surface, so she wouldn't really stare at the handsome guy and blush like a 15-year-old girl.From the looks of it, Kelly just blinked, waiting for Bucky to answer, but Bucky didn't answer, but waited a bit, letting Steve speak first.

"Steve Rogers," Steve said, smiling awkwardly at her.

"James Barnes, my friends call me Bucky," Bucky said, laughing. "So, Kelly, are you a tourist? Or did you just move here?"

Kelly asked back: "Why do you ask? Why don't you guess I used to live here?"

"Oh, it sounds kind of tragic that I've never met such a beautiful girl in Brooklyn." Bucky blinked and gave her a big smile.Kelly couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

"Oh my God, you're so good at coaxing girls." She laughed, thinking she might blush a little. "Yeah, my brother and I just moved in and were going to the real estate agent's office. Do you have any advice?"

"To be honest, I don't really recommend Brooklyn." Bucky shrugged, and Steve smiled beside him, "But if you insist, maybe Steve and I can help you as a staff officer. Isn't it Steve? husband?"

"Yes, we were fine." Steve bit his lips, and Kelly remembered that for normal students, it should still be at the end of summer vacation - but she doesn't go to school anyway, so don't worry this.She raised her eyebrows at Bucky: "Is this how you please girls?"

Bucky laughed and patted Steve on the shoulder: "Just thank you for helping this guy avoid two punches."

"I didn't know you were so efficient," Bill said. "It's only been a day, and you've gotten to know both of them."

"It's really a coincidence." Kelly smiled and told him about her experience of being rescued by a hero today. "What do you think, how about this house?"

"I'm fine with that," Bill said.What they were looking at was a small two-storey apartment. Although it had two floors, the indoor area was not large. It was almost the right size for two people to live in, and it could accommodate three people if it was slightly squeezed.However, the most important factor in Kelly's choice of this house is that it is the closest to Bucky's house-only half a block away.The neighborhood where Steve lived was the neighborhood with the worst environment. Although Kelly suffered a lot, she didn't want to deliberately choose a house with such a bad environment.

"Then here it is," Kelly said. The landlord was an old lady who was about to move in with her daughter. She was handicapped and didn't go upstairs. The two went downstairs and signed the contract with her—on a blank piece of paper with a confusing spell on it. Serve as ID.

"When will we get a real ID card?" After sending the old man away, Kelly turned to Bill and asked, "How did you go to Stark Industries?"

Bill took out an employee card and waved it in front of her: "I'm an employee there now."

"Wow! Your efficiency is not bad." Kelly took it over and looked at it, and found that only the department was listed on it, but no specific position was listed. "What do you do? Magic research?"

"Translation," Bill said, and Kelly nodded understandingly. After all, he had worked in Gringotts in Egypt. He was fluent in Arabic and French, and a little German.

"Howard Stark is not in New York right now, but I heard that he will come back soon, and the Rubik's Cube will be placed with me first." Bill said, "But in this case, Germany..."

"I'll worry about Germany." Kelly said quickly, "You stay in Stark Industries - don't forget that he will become the largest arms dealer in the United States during World War II, and he will also participate in the super soldier serum plan, It is necessary to know him."

Bill looked at her worriedly: "Are you okay?"

"Please, Bill." Kelly rolled her eyes, "I'm just turning 15, don't treat me like I'm 15."

"I can't think of you as 30, you have to admit," Bill said.

Kelly shrugged.Indeed, she lived only to graduate from college in the first life, then relived her teenage years in the world of Harry Potter, and lived to be 21 years old - no older than the previous life - becoming the current At the age of 15, in fact, she has not really experienced much adult life, and her mood is still very young.

"Don't make it sound like you're very old," Kelly said finally, "or you'll be doing the shopping and cooking today."
