The Siren's Sleeping Beauty [Comprehensive British and American]

"Is this the mermaid you're talking about?" Angus sat cross-legged on Tony's bed, holding a tome, pointing to the illustrations on it.

"Ugly, isn't it?" Tony took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and moved beside him.

"Angus, where's your tail?" Tony patted his leg, "You made a deal with a witch like the Little Mermaid? That's too stupid."

"What's a witch?" Angus flipped through the illustrations above, but he still had obstacles.

"Witches are bad people who know magic." Tony thought for a moment, then replied, "They eat children, they like to sell all kinds of fake medicines, and they like to trick others into eating poisonous things."

Angus raised his eyebrows.

Toxic stuff ah... hmm.

"What is that magic?" Angus tilted his head.

"Wait a minute—" Tony jumped off the bed and began to flip around in his room.

Take out a bunch of books, pull out a book, and spread it out.

It is densely packed with pictures, interspersed with pictures of various onomatopoeic characters and logos of 'boom' and 'bang'.

Angus threw away the tome in his hand every minute, and turned to those thin, obviously brighter picture books.

"There are many kinds of magic. This kind of magic is performed with the help of magic circles and gems." Tony opened the books one by one with a serious face. "There is also this kind of magic performed with the help of magic wands and spells."

"...This is to use various gestures to guide energy to exert power..."

"And there's..."

Angus listened to his narration, flipped through every book, nodded while reading, and asked about some content from time to time.

Tony spoke more and more vigorously, with an academic seriousness and seriousness.

He likes Angus, he has to listen carefully to what he has to say.

He hates his peers because they are so stupid.

Also hates adults because they think they're stupid and don't always listen to themselves.

Especially when this person is a father, because it doesn't matter whether you hate it or not, because it is his father.

"You know a lot." Angus gestured his palm to the person in the picture, and then put down the book.

Maybe he is not suitable for this simplest knot seal method.

"Of course." Tony snorted, "I'm Stark."

"...Now, I know what magic is." It is probably the ability to use oneself or a specific substance as a medium to extract energy from the body or the outside world, and then decompose it to form the energy body you want to form to express or act on the outside.

But there are actually only two forms of "magic" that I know, and human beings really study it very well...

What I know is not so complete.

"So what did you say that the little mermaid made a deal with the witch?" Angus put the picture book aside, imitating Steve, grabbed Tony's ribs, carried him to the bed, and put him on his side.

Stand up and take off your pants.

Tony stared blankly at his movements: "What are you going to do?"

Angus tilted his head: "Don't you want to see the tail?"

"Ah, yes!" Tony exclaimed excitedly.

The blue fish scales shone and gradually covered Angus's legs. The gap between the legs slowly disappeared, forming a membranous connection.Tony wowed, staring intently.

Angus flicked his tail. The fish tail was relatively big, and with a slight movement, he pushed the scattered books on the bed to the floor.

Moreover, he did not dare to use force.

I always feel that this bed can't stand my tail.

"It's beautiful—" Tony admired, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his fish scales.

Angus leaned on the head of the bed, the tip of the fish's tail wobbled, avoiding his hand.

Tony failed to touch it a few times, so he rushed forward and hugged his tail: "You are really a mermaid!!!"

"No," Angus was lazy, so he didn't dodge his flutter, brushed his hair back, and approached with his head down, "Remember, my name is "Siren". "

Tony was startled: "Siren?"

"Yes." Angus smiled, then lifted Tony's chin, and kissed him sideways.

"Tony, I like you a lot."

Tony's entire face suddenly turned red, and he covered his face and shouted, "...you...how can you just kiss someone casually!?"

"It's not casual, Steve said he can kiss if he likes." Angus said innocently.

Tony blushed from holding back, and kissed back after a while: "...I...I like you too."

"I can see it." Angus flicked his tail, put his face on his head and glanced at his bedside, there are many books with mermaids on the cover.

He doesn't know if mermaids really exist, but if it's a human misunderstanding of sirens, it's really interesting.

"So, what's up with The Little Mermaid and the Witch?" Angus asked.

"That's just a stupid story, a lie to children." Tony wrinkled his face in disgust.

"Story?" Angus was curious.

"Well, adults will make up a lot of stories to coax children, in the name of cultivating their imagination and good and positive habits." Tony hugged his chest and looked mature.

"But the stories are usually false."

Angus frowned: "Fake?"

"Yeah." Tony nodded, "It's fake, I can't believe it."

Angus...

"The things in your written records...could be fake?" Angus was puzzled.

The sirens also have words, and what they record are all facts, and there can be no fake things.

"Of course." Tony said naturally.

"Then how do you know whether what you read is true or not?" Angus couldn't understand.

"The bookstore has categories." Tony gestured, "For example, textbooks and books are definitely different."

Angus twitched the corners of his mouth. Humans are really a very vague race.

"Tony, what about what humans say? Are there true and false?" Angus asked.

"Of course." Tony nodded, "My dad often lied to my mom that he didn't drink."

"Ah...is that so?" Angus narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Angus, do you want to watch the captain?" Seeing that Angus was bored, Tony suggested, "We can watch the captain together."

"team leader?"

"Ah."

"Who is that?"

"Ah? Didn't you come with him today?" Tony was stunned.

"Steve?" Angus was surprised.

"Well, Steve Rogers, he's a hero." Tony was a little excited, and he jumped out of bed again to move the books.

"Oh—is it about his past?" Angus seldom talked about, remembered, and became interested in the things taken away by time.

But at this moment, it is rare to have a wonderful emotion called anticipation.

"Captain America!" Tony proudly held out his treasures, then crawled under his bed, took out a box, and piled it up to Angus like a treasure.

"This is the set of captain's cards I collected, many of which are out of print." Tony puffed out his chest, very proud.

"If you like, you can pick a few." Tony said generously

Angus opened the box and looked at the cards of various shapes inside.

After flipping around for a while, although the movements are different, most of them are in the same costume.

It's not quite like the outfit when I first saw him, with a blue background, white vertical stripes, stars on the chest, a hood, and a firm face.

With a shield.

Round star shield.

Angus rubbed the shield with his finger, this thing...he has seen it before.

"Tony, what is this?" Angus asked as he turned over the card and pointed at the shield.

"This is the captain's weapon, because the captain never uses lethal weapons. He was born for protection, so he only uses a shield." Tony's eyes sparkled.

"It's handsome, isn't it?"

"Handsome?" Angus flipped the card in his hand, letting it fall randomly into Tony's box, "It's stupid."

The movements seemed careless, even a little arrogant, but Tony surprisingly didn't feel any dissatisfaction.

Fish tail, fin-shaped ears, gills on the neck, half lying on the bed, the surprisingly beautiful Angus is like a miracle.

He couldn't find an adjective to describe it for the time being, but that astonishment was deeply embedded in his heart.

Until a long time later, even if it was forgotten, that kind of surprise was buried in the bottom of my heart and freshly sealed.

·

The quality of Howard's study is too good.

Steve pricked up his ears and didn't hear any movement from Tony and the others, but if there was a relatively large movement, he should be able to hear it.

There is no movement yet, probably nothing happened.

Bucky saw his nervousness, so he didn't know, "Hey, how are you?"

"Uh," Steve smirked, "I'm fine."

It's just moving a large unstable creature into a strange place, and even keeping him out of sight with a tender child.

"Cap, I'm sorry, I should have left you two alone..." Howard apologized.

Steve snorted: "No, no, this is the reason. Don't worry about it, Howard."

"We always have to see each other."

"Let's have something to eat—" Maria opened the door of the study with a tray and walked in.

Steve saw Angus's kettle on the tray, and Maria hadn't checked on the situation in Tony's room.

He got up and grabbed the kettle on the tray: "...I, I'll go see Angus."

Howard and Maria glanced at each other without saying a word.

"Okay." Without asking to follow, Maria showed a tolerant attitude.

After Steve smiled, walked out of the study with a kettle and snacks, and closed the door behind him strangely, Bucky couldn't hold back anymore.

"What charades are you all playing?"

Howard picked at the side of his face: "I really did a lot of unnecessary things."

Maria sat on the arm of his sofa and held his shoulders: "Steve probably wishes he was the first to contact Peggy."

Bucky catches the gossip keenly: "Carter, Steve and Carter..."

Howard gave him a look and let him experience it for himself.

"I also heard that the captain had an appointment with Peggy before the plane sank into the sea." Maria showed a trace of sadness, "If...he can... come back sooner."

Baba basically wanted to make a joke, but when he remembered the time difference between them, he instantly felt an unspeakable sigh in his heart.

"...It must be hard for him." He whispered.

"For both of them." Maria took Carter's side. "She has a husband and two children."

Bucky was silent for a moment: "...do you think..."

"No." Jarvis interrupted Bucky without hesitation.

"You didn't even let me finish," Bucky grumbled.

"I don't think the captain would accept breaking someone's family." Jarvis glanced at him.

Bucky... okay.

Steve stopped at the dark brown door and knocked: "I'm coming in."

Pushing open the door and entering, Tony was lying on Angus' tail, hugging him to lift himself up.

"Steve?" Angus slumped on the bed, wondering.

He took a deep breath, footsteps came from behind him, his body was faster than consciousness, he slammed the door shut with a loud noise.

"Hey...Steve." After the footsteps, there was an extremely familiar voice.

His brain was instantly split in half, half was screaming that Angus had exposed his tail in someone else's house, and the other half was talking.

Here comes Peggy, and she's behind you.

This tearing feeling is really very delicious.

Steve squeezed the water bottle tightly, turned around, and looked at the woman in the black suit who was looking at him.

Someone I once loved...

"..." Both of them fell silent.

Peggy held the bag in front of her, opened her mouth, wanted to say something, but stopped, not knowing what to say.

"...Long time no see, Peggy." Steve's hand holding the kettle loosened, tightened, and finally smiled.

"Yes, long time no see, Steve." Peggy's voice trembled at the end.

Steve looked at her gradually reddened eye sockets, but couldn't say anything more.

"..." She tugged at the corner of her mouth, and before she could say anything, tears rolled down her face, "You're back."

Steve...

He knew that it would hurt his heart to meet her face to face, but he never thought it would hurt so badly.

"Yes, I'm back." Steve swallowed the stalk in his throat, took a deep breath, and laughed, "Sorry..."

Peggy laughed: "There's nothing I'm sorry for, just come back."

Steve closed his eyelids slightly, looked down at the kettle in his hand, and flipped it.

My mind is in a mess.

Maria came out of the study and saw two people standing facing each other in the living room. Even though she moved lightly, she still caught the attention of the two of them without accident.

"Good evening, Maria." Peggy quickly wiped away the tears on her face, pursing her lips in greeting.

"Peggy." Maria suppressed her sighs, stepped forward, and slightly entangled her arm, not surprisingly noticing her slight trembling.

It seemed as if he was holding back with all his strength, but he couldn't control it.

"I'll go in and deliver some water...you can... go first." Steve forced the corners of his mouth to look away.

"Yes." Peggy stopped looking at Steve.

Watching them turn around, talk and leave with a smile, and quickly push the door with their backs to go in, Steve bowed slightly, pressed against the door, and covered his face with his hands.

In the house, Angus remembered Steve's previous explanation not to show his tail casually, and he turned his tail into a human leg with some guilt, and was working together with Tony to clean up the ashes left by him.

Angus was patting the black ashes on the bed sheet, when he saw Steve's current state, he frowned, and approached: "Steve?"

Steve let go of his face, nothing out of the ordinary.

"Come on, I'll clean it up." He stuffed the kettle into Angus' hands and walked over to clean it up for them.

Picking up the sheet and shaking it, Steve borrowed his books from Tony, using one as a dustpan and the other as a broom, and carefully cleaned up the ashes.

Angus sat down on the bed, crossed his legs and looked down at Steve.

"Angus, you can't show your tail outside casually in the future, do you understand?" He cleaned up, carefully wrapped the ashes in waste paper, and put them in his trouser pocket.

Steve looked up and exhorted.

"Tony," pulled over Tony who thought he had done something wrong, and who was afraid to speak, he rubbed his head, "Angus is about the mermaid, can you promise me not to tell anyone?"

"Well, I'm sure I won't tell my dad." Tony bit his lip and assured.

"If more people know about Angus, you may not be able to play with Angus anymore. Those who want to hurt him will take him away." Steve casually touched it from his hand A comic, "like the bad guy on here."

"..." Tony was silent for a while, then whispered, "Is this a mission? Captain, my mission."

Steve was stunned for a moment: "Yes, now you are the deputy captain of the Angus protection team led by me, can you complete the task I gave you?"

"Guaranteed to finish!" Tony yelled, excitement all over his face.

"Then, I believe you." Steve raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, "We will protect the mermaid together."

"Hmm." Tony solemnly touched him with his small fist.

"You're great, Lieutenant." Steve squeezed his arms on both sides, laughing.

"Then, you guys have fun." After looking around and making sure there was nothing else to do, he walked towards the door with heavy steps like someone who was about to go to the battlefield.

Angus got up and hugged him from behind.

Steve trembled all over, and pressed his hand on Angus' arm on his waist: "... Angus, I'm fine."

It is refusing to approach.

Pushing his hand away, Steve opened the door and went out without looking back.

Angus blinked, Tony was right, humans really tell lies.

Said it was all right, but didn't even see that he wasn't wearing pants.

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to write a small gag theater, but because I felt that the big shield was scum, I stopped writing it [hmph]
