Daily life [Zhongyingmei]

At night, Benny finally knew what Tony Stark was going to do today.

The outside media blew up the pot and reported on the fighting and explosions of unknown people in various parts of New York today, especially more than one person photographed Mr. Iron Man Tony Stark going out with his steel army.

Tony has nothing to deny, he has always been frank.

—— SHIELD was indeed blown up by him.

As soon as the Hydra Bureau was destroyed, former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Black Widow, Unicom Hawkeye, and Bucky uploaded all the top-secret folders in the database to the Internet, and Nick Fury, who was suspended animation, also appeared and took away a Poe is truly loyal to the elite of S.H.I.E.L.D.There is only a mess left, leaving the world's Security Council and the military to take over.

When Tony Stark came back, his golden-red armor was a bit pitted, with bullet marks and the pungent smell of gunfire. He stood in the corner of the small living room and lifted his armor, and all the parts fell off his body automatically. , and began to fly back to the hanging rack.

"The captain's work is over. I asked about you. Are you going back tomorrow?" Tony was a little unhappy, but he still asked reluctantly.

"Can we go back?" Benny's eyes lit up, and he regained his energy.He hasn't seen Mister Rogers in months and really misses the guardian, "I'll go back tonight!"

Seeing the heartless curly-haired kid jumping off the chair, as if he was ready to slip away happily, Tony became angry, stepped forward and held Benny up, patted his butt a few times, turned around and left: " It's so late, why are you going back? You don't even say hello to Pepper, you have no conscience. Come and take a shower!"

"Wash—what?" Benny immediately froze on the shoulder of the mustache man, like a kitten with water on its fur.He reluctantly struggled to protest, "Mr. Stark, I don't need to take a shower, and it's none of your business!"

Tony had ignored the little boy's struggles, and carried him strides down the corridor, back to the Stark Tower bedroom, which had a large bathroom attached.

"Stop talking nonsense, you haven't showered for a few days? You didn't take a shower before you went back, the captain thought I didn't take good care of people." The more Tony said, the more impolite he was, annoyed, he put little Benny down, and took off his clothes on his lap. "And? You still call me Mr. Stark? Brat, who are you going to call daddy!"

"..." Benny's expression suddenly became subtle and tangled. He looked up and down the bearded man in front of him, with "childish" and "unhappy" written all over his face.

Stark, are you...jealous?

He didn't have any other ideas, and he never called Mr. Rogers' father. What kind of jealousy is this? ?

This feeling is so novel, Benny usually talks to Stark as if they are competing with each other, and whoever reveals the truth will lose.Aha, today's round was won by Benny!

With such distracted thinking, the strength of the curly-haired child's struggle gradually weakened. He looked down and saw that he had been stripped naked.Tony Stark in front of him was also undressing.

— Benny clutched his chest in fright.

"What are you doing?" Benny asked warily.

"Let's take a shower together." Tony glanced over his chest casually, as if he didn't see the scars that Benny was covering, and said in a natural tone, "Hey, other fathers and sons have done this before."

"You and your dad did that too?" Benny asked suspiciously.

The reluctance before leaving was in vain, and the atmosphere of loving father and son that Tony tried so hard to create dissipated. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Benny's head unhappily, and urged the boy into the bathroom: "Come on in! Carrot baby. Mom I’ll be back after approving the documents in a while.”

The nickname "Baby Carrot" has a somewhat derogatory connotation here, ridiculing him for being like a carrot.But it has a special meaning to Benny. His expression froze for a moment, frustrated by this nickname, he could only compromise.

The water in the bathroom started to rush and run, and the water in the shower and bathtub was standing.One big and one small sat on the chairs but they were very quiet, and no one spoke to each other.

Benny's body was tense and stiff throughout the whole process, and he was very uncomfortable taking a bath with others. He also tightly clutched the scar on his chest, but fortunately, Tony Stark didn't pay attention to this at all.

"..." Benny glanced cautiously at the man with a natural mustache next to him, and sighed silently, old-fashioned, still unable to understand what his future father was thinking.

So, just before leaving, on a whim, do you want to take a bath with him? ?

After taking a shower, Benny couldn't enter his room either—he was stuffed under the quilt of the big bed again by Tony Stark.

Pepper has come back and is sitting in front of the mirror in the bedroom rubbing her heels. She turned her head and smiled at Benny in surprise: "Did Benny sleep together today? Huh, mom just came back, too busy, it's all Tony And all these things that happened—”

Speaking of the second half of the sentence, Pepper gave Tony a special look.The man with the mustache wrapped in a bathrobe was scared, and hurried over to hug his girlfriend, saying something to coax her.

"..." Benny tucked his knees and sat in the middle of the pillows on both sides, wrapped in a quilt and watching them, unable to say what he wanted to protest Stark's behavior.

Ok.

He reluctantly reflected in his heart, and admitted to himself in a low voice.

He is about to leave Stark's house and go back to Rogers' house. He wants to leave tonight, but Tony Stark is very abnormal today.It's not Stark's fault, it's that he can't wait.

This is indeed his fault.

Thinking about it carefully, he seems to be quite reluctant to leave his parents who have been getting along very well for the past two months.

Benny's cheeks were a little flushed, he held his breath and moved down silently, buried himself in the quilt, covering even his almost dry hair.

As soon as Tony and Pepper finished talking, they turned their heads to look at the bed, and were stunned for a moment.

There was only a small bulge on the flat bed, not even the hair was exposed, and it was motionless. Benny was already asleep?

"I'm going to take off my makeup." Pepper's face showed exhaustion. She already knew that Benny would leave tomorrow, and her expression was very sad, but who made Benny have another guardian, and the relationship is still very good.They have also lived together for several months, and Pepper can't say anything more to stay.

The blond woman hurried into the bathroom, and the bedroom fell silent.

Tony lay reclining on the side of the bed, with his left elbow bent, propping his side face.He tentatively poked at the bulging lump through the quilt, but little Benny didn't move, and he should be fast asleep.

Tony also knew that he looked abnormal tonight, and Benny's eyes showed surprise and curiosity several times.Tony just—just didn't know how to put it.

He thought that his father Howard was more awkward than him, and even dared to record his confession on the video tape, and left it to him without saying a word, and he didn't say anything when he was beaten to death.Tony is different. After reading Benny's file of S.H.I.E.L.D., he always wants to say something.

For Benny's over-guarding, and for the way they used to get along—but nothing seemed right.So much so that Tony dragged little Benny to take a bath, brewing for almost an hour, but didn't say a word.

"Stinky boy." Tony lowered his voice very low, and he couldn't help but not mind being heard by others, "I have to apologize to you first, maybe you can't hear it. I'm sorry for what I said at the beginning. , the things that were done, the bad, uh... all the stuff."

He sped up his speech a little bit, and he was a little unnatural: "It's my fault."

Tony reached out and patted the bulging quilt, recalling all the videos he saw during the day, he seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't know what to say, he paused, and concluded in a low voice, it's still the same as before Said it in a flat tone, "In the future——Dad will protect you."

"..." Benny, whose body was stretched under the quilt, opened his eyes, completely frozen in silence.

Stark poked him, and he deliberately pretended to be asleep, listening to the movement, ready to jump up when Tony Stark got closer, scaring him hard, so that he would have reason to laugh at Stark.

But... but these words...

Benny was so overwhelmed that he almost forgot to breathe, he was shocked and bewildered in the dark.

——How did Tony Stark break the rules of the game and foul himself? !

The quilt was thrown back suddenly, scaring Benny to close his eyes and force himself to relax, pretending to be asleep.The opened place was exposed to the air for a while, but then a heat source came over, Tony Stark put his hand on his back, and began to pat it clumsily and regularly.

It's like coaxing a child, getting closer to the gentle and silly father in the future.

Benny almost couldn't restrain himself from opening his eyes, and questioned Tony Stark's sudden change - what happened to you today? !

After a burst of emotion, Benny's magic power started again uncontrollably.

It's like a feeling of blessing to the soul. Last time this feeling came out, he learned to send magic power to Stark remotely. Last time he learned to plant magic seeds, and earlier he learned to take people away from the dungeon .

Every trigger is like meeting some requirement or breaking some limit.

Benny took advantage of the situation and moved his mind. After a long while, Tony Stark's raised hand never fell again.

He lifted the quilt and looked back apprehensively.

The man with the mustache maintained a posture of patting him on the back, leaning against the side with his left hand supporting his face, looking extraordinarily lazy and contented.But he maintained this appearance and froze in place, his hands did not continue to fall, his eyes did not move, and his gaze was still on the position where Benny was lying just now.

Benny started to panic.

He sat up abruptly and touched Tony Stark's hand.

It was still warm and tactile, and it moved sideways with his strength.But the man's chest didn't rise and fall, and he couldn't even feel his breathing. Stark was still like a living doll that couldn't move, and there was no other movement.

"Dad?" Benny panicked even more, and couldn't help crying.

He felt that the current atmosphere in the bedroom was an eerie silence, even the slight sound of Pepper removing makeup in the bathroom was gone. Benny got out of bed and looked for slippers to put on, and raised his voice again, "—Mom?"

Pepper didn't answer him either.

Benny stumbled to the door of the bathroom, opened the door and looked inside.

The blond woman stood in front of the sink, with one hand pressed in front of her eyelashes, and she also kept the posture of removing makeup still.
