Daily life [Zhongyingmei]

Steve took little Benny back to his house for the night, packed his luggage, left Bucky in the morning, and rushed back to Stark Tower to say goodbye to his parents and grandparents.

It was time to say goodbye just as they were having breakfast.Howard and Maria hadn't been seen yet. At the dining table, only Pepper was holding plates and bowls ready to be put away. In front of the elevator, the blond man and little Benny came holding hands.

"..." Tony looked at them, and when he remembered yesterday, his face turned childishly black again.

The old man is proud of the disobedient boy, is he really a fan of Captain America?To harm his father and come to attract his son again?

"Mr. Stark, we're leaving." Benny cleared his throat and said unnaturally.He tried his best not to look so weak, after all, it didn't make sense, but the way Tony Stark was staring at him was too righteous.

"Little Mr. Rogers." Tony rolled his eyes, started to get angry, and folded his arms with a cold snort, "Go out and play. I haven't gone to find Rhodes to relax for a while, and I can't let go without you. "

Benny, Steve, and even Pepper couldn't help but froze for a moment.

You childish ghost, are you jealous?

"..." Steve silently let go of the cub's hand.He didn't expect Tony to have this side.

The corners of Benny's mouth were pursed quickly, as if he wanted to laugh, and he turned his expression into an over-excited one in time, making himself like a cat with its fur all over its body blown out, stretching out its paws eagerly preparing to attack people, and decisively broke off the spray : "Then you go relax, don't you enjoy being chased by others?"

"Of course." Tony sniffed reflexively, sat calmly and reservedly at the dining table, and counterattacked him calmly, "Stark has never been short of people to like, especially a brat like you!"

"How many people are chasing after you to call you 'Daddy', isn't it?" Benny asked with a serious expression on his face.But he didn't wait for Tony to answer before he continued, "Whoa, are you having a good time?"

The curly-haired kid flicked the back of his head and dragged Steve back into the elevator.

Leaving Tony's teeth itchy with anger, he wished he didn't hit Benny's ass—brat!Wouldn't you just call him 'Dad' honestly?Talking to him every day, the most annoying thing is that Howard is also on Benny's side!

Pepper was only surprised for a moment, and the father and son fought for a few more rounds, and Benny ran away in anger.She was worried and hesitated for a long time, and decided to scold Tony: "Benny is going on a trip, see what you say! You must be mad at him again, he is your son, who is the older of the two of you?"

"Is it because I'm angry with him?" Ni was angry and aggrieved at the age of three, but now Pepper has rebelled, and the man with the mustache folded his arms with an unhappy face, "—his surname is Rogers, more like the captain If so, I might as well be the captain's son. I think we have to have another one, hum, the boy is too annoying, and having a daughter is my little princess."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Pepper's face burned. Strictly speaking, she has never been a mother, nor married.Besides, they knew that Benny's perception was amazing, and Pepper panicked for a moment, turning his head, not sure if Benny could still hear Tony's words a few floors away.

"If Benny hears it, just wait until it's over." Pepper poked Tony's shoulder resentfully.

Tony was also surprised, subconsciously looked around, and reluctantly continued to speak: "... He might cry like a carrot baby."

……

But this time it was Pepper and Tony who thought too much.

Benny is going to travel with Mr. Rogers, and he happily forgets about his parents when they go out.Because the trip became two people, Steve simply rented a car and drove Benny by himself. The trunk was filled with enough things for camping.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to the Metropolis?" Steve asked with one hand on the steering wheel.Benny, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was holding a tourist brochure, scanning the metropolis awkwardly.

This city is thriving and full of vitality, but it is not that famous. If you want to talk about special attractions...a certain mountain, a certain well-known street, with small stories circulating to attract tourists.But to Benny, it was all ordinary and couldn't attract his attention.

The only thing that says Metropolis is special... does Superman count?

Benny's mind turned sharply in such a short period of time, and then he chose to be honest. The boy's voice was a little unnatural, and seemed to be a little shy: "...I want to meet Superman."

Steve thought for a while, then fell silent for a while.

So...Is Iron Man's child, the adopted son of Captain America, the idol worshiped by Superman?This is also very good. Superman has become famous in recent years. It is said that he has a gentle personality and is very powerful.

"I heard that someone has already called him the 'God of the World', but I haven't seen him yet." Steve encouraged Benny to pursue stars with satisfaction. He thought of the lively Spider-Man Peter Parker, and that kid looked like a little fan .Stargazing made him happy—those young tawny eyes filled with bright little stars whenever he saw Steve.

Benny just follows Tony Stark and likes staying at home too much. Now he can go to another city energetically just to meet his idol. This is a good development.

"I heard that he fought with Batman before." Benny deliberately diverted the topic, "Mr. Rogers, do you remember the information we read together when we released the copy of the isolated island?"

"You mean...Mr. Wayne?" Steve figured it out in the blink of an eye.

"It's easy to meet Mr. Wayne, but it's a bit difficult to find Superman." Steve said pertinently.After all, Superman is haunted by ghosts, and they have not encountered any difficulties. It is impossible for the other party to come out to meet them for this reason.

"Then go see Mr. Wayne first? I really want to see how he becomes Batman!" Benny turned his words away, and finally got to the point he wanted most.After all, Gotham is not far from Metropolis.

What else could Steve do but change the direction and continue driving.

……

It was almost evening when we arrived in Gotham.The atmosphere here is completely different from that of New York. Just saying that there are always dark clouds in the sky day and night, the city of Gotham looks a bit gloomy. Coupled with the rumors I heard before, the surrounding Gothic people of different shapes With a modern building, Steve was a lot more cautious when driving on the boulevard.

"..." Benny had already dropped the travel brochure, his fingers were on the side of the car window, and he was staring outside expressionlessly.

The location where they entered the city was not right, it should be a poor area.The streets are dirty, the shops are dilapidated, there are a few trash cans next to the rusty sewer pipes next to the wall, and there is an alley shrouded in shadows next to it, and a few small figures can be vaguely seen huddled there, seeing the people on the street Cars come and go without moving.

Steve's heart sank, and he turned his head to look at Benny's expression. The curly-haired kid's face was ugly, staring unblinkingly at the alley that flashed past the window from time to time, like a sculpture, his eyes were heavy and sharp, Immersed in memories.

"Let's go out of this block and find a hotel to check in first." Steve could only interrupt Benny's thoughts first, and then speed up the driving, "If there is anything, we will come out tomorrow."

Benny came back to his senses, and nodded sullenly in agreement.

"I heard that Batman is active at night." Steve felt a little regretful, and continued to search for topics clumsily, trying to divert Benny's attention, "It's night now, maybe we can see him soon? You Ever seen Robin? That's his helper."

"Robin?" Mentioning this, Benny really cheered up, turned his head to look at Steve again, "Robin is also a child... It is said that he is the adopted son of Mr. Wayne, and it is very popular now to have a big and a small partner. Fight? We can do the same, Mister Rogers."

"But Robin..." Benny frowned and fell silent.He carefully recalled the thick file he saw yesterday. The name of Batman's partner is Robin, and it has been changed several generations.The first generation of Robin changed his name to Nightwing, and became a new superhero.Now Robin has rotated to the fourth generation. The child named Damian is the illegitimate son of Bruce Wayne.

The illegitimate son of a superhero and playboy, eight years old this year, has the title of superhero.

These elements are what Benny cares about, and they are still piled up now. Compared with Batman and Superman because of the investigation, Benny actually wants to meet that Robin who is his age.

"Think about it tomorrow." Steve gently reached out and rubbed Benny's forehead, then stopped the car.

He found a nice apartment building—it didn't look like a hotel, and the decor was out of place for the city, but it had a sign that let it out by the day.After all, you need to pay attention to safety issues in Gotham, and Steve is not so relieved in ordinary small hotels. He wants to give Benny a good living environment, so that the boy will not recall his past again.

"There is no breakfast service, and there is no waiter to clean, but this place is absolutely safe." The thin man at the front desk said lazily, with an ancient copper key chain dangling on his fingertips, making a rattling sound, he reached out and threw the key on the counter , adding, "Also—don't touch my plants."

This seems to be the characteristic of this apartment building. There are potted plants everywhere, lush and green, and the green is pleasing to the eye. It seems to be living in a small forest, which is still incompatible with the gray tone of Gotham.

"Thank you." Steve took the key and identified the small bronze plate on it. The handwriting was 6022. He paid the money and turned to the corridor, "Benny, go upstairs."

Before turning around, Benny was half a step slow, looking up with his head up.The thin man was wearing a handsome black suit, showing his figure very well. He was leaning lazily on the counter, and the big sunglasses on his face covered most of his expression, but Benny could feel keenly that this man was looking through the sunglasses. Then he looked down at them carefully.

Benny raised his vigilance.

The warm palm of the blond man took Benny's hand again, and led him all the way into the elevator before he whispered, "Don't show it."

Sure enough, Steve also felt that something was wrong with the man.

Benny nodded calmly, glanced at the small bronze medal on the key chain, and reached out to press the elevator button.His arms froze, and his movements stopped: "...Only the second floor?"

What elevator is on the second floor?

"Is there a staircase here?" Steve also frowned, one big and one small recalled each other, and Benny asked again, "Why does the room number start with six?"

He almost thought they lived on the sixth floor.Isn't it customary to start with the number of floors you live in?

"..." Steve's expression became even colder, and he began to wonder if he had chosen the wrong apartment building.The curly-haired kid asked the question but didn't think too much about it. He reached out and pressed the "two" button, and the elevator started to go up.

"!" But Benny's arm froze again, he gasped silently, his face turned pale, and his heart almost jumped out wildly.

——The small display board on the elevator used to display the number of floors turned into a man with a pale complexion and hollow eyes, staring straight at them with a smirk!

Scared by the sudden change, Steve pulled Benny behind him and stared at him warily.
