Chapter 55: Who's the Winner?
"Hank, why are you here?" Tony was genuinely surprised, he had no idea that Hank would be in Florina's cabin.
Speaking of which, what is Hank doing here?
I was also surprised to see Tony Hank, or rather a sense of surprise and embarrassment. It's as if something bad has been broken, and now Hank is like a child who broke his mother's vase and was caught.
His face began to blush slightly, and he said in a slightly unnatural tone, "Ha, it's Tony, Tony Stark." I know you. ”
Dr. Hank was talking nonsense, and Tony couldn't help but wave his hand to interrupt him, "Nonsense, of course you know me, we've all been working together for so long." But speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen you in real form. ”
Tony was right, although he had worked with Dr. Hank for so long, especially since Dr. Hank had actually been able to return to his own human form after the research of Potion X, he had always maintained his beast form. At most, I use a color-changing agent to change the color of my hair every day.
By the way, why does Dr. Hank constantly change the color of his hair every day? I'm afraid it's because he has been in a very excited state? So every day the color of his coat changes is colorful, all kinds of golden hair, purple hair, red hair.
Tony strode forward and put his hands around Dr. Hank's neck (it's not easy, Dr. Hank is tall and skinny, almost 1.9 meters, and Tony...... He wrapped his arms around Hank's neck and whispered to Dr. Hank, "Wait, haven't you been here a lot lately?"
In the face of Tony Stark's questioning, especially when he was caught, Dr. Hank could only explain truthfully: "Your strength is a bit strong, and it hurts me." Well, I do keep coming lately. ”
"What are you doing here?"
"Pick up Wanda and Pietro. ”
Tony wasn't very satisfied with Dr. Hank's answer: "By the way, you're still dating Ms. Lorina, aren't you?"
As soon as Tony finished speaking, Dr. Hank's face turned red. Tony let go of his hand and couldn't help but say, "Why didn't I know you were so easily shy? Come on, you're so old, is this your first time in love?"
"Don't worry about it!" Dr. Hank was a little annoyed.
"O, MY, GOD!, WAIT!, IS THIS REALLY YOUR FIRST TIME IN A RELATIONSHIP?!" Tony looked at Hank in disbelief, and he whispered to Dr. Hank, as if he had discovered a new cellular creature in the lab.
Tony was so surprised, he knew that Dr. Hank was a ...... Well...... There are some introverts emotionally. Professor Charles and Magneto mentioned this intentionally or unintentionally, but they never really paid attention.
From the occasional chat between Charles and Marx and Hank, everyone knows some clues. When Dr. Hank was younger, he was madly obsessed with Raven, the Witch.
Well, that's a Shapeshifter! All these years have passed, but Shapeshifter doesn't look old at all, or her abilities make her not age at all.
Although the appearance of the demon girl herself is a woman with short blue scales and red hair, which looks a little scary. But she has the ability that almost all women dream of.
That is, she can transform herself into anyone she wants, as long as she wants. She can be seventeen-year-old Britney today, twenty-five-year-old Madonna tomorrow, and twenty-three-year-old Marilyn Monroe the day after tomorrow.
If she wanted to, she could also materialize all kinds of virtual characters that only exist in the virtual world, whether it's Shiranui Mai or Chun-Li, or Ayanami Rei and Asuka, or Splitty and D-VA.
She can easily transform into the appearance of a goddess in the hearts of any man, or the appearance of a male god in the hearts of girls, and she can make everyone (both men and women) fall under her pomegranate skirt.
If she hooks her fingers, countless people will be willing to shed blood for her, which is really not a joke.
Hank's crush on the Witch Shape? It's so normal! In the face of such a terrible witch, a witch in the true sense, how many people can not be tempted?
However, the Demonic Girl eventually ran away with Magneto, turning all of Hank's enthusiasm into a fantasy.
But is it possible that Raven is Hank's first love (secret love) that ended before it began, and Hank hasn't been in love for so many years?
Tony could hardly believe that even the now aged Professor Charles was a merry playboy in his twenties and thirties, and that the bartender at the bar outside Harvard University had witnessed his sister's feats.
Needless to say, Magneto, Tony believes that this kind of cool and powerful man must have been liked by many women back then. In comparison, only Dr. Hank seems to be the worst of the three?
Oh my God! Dr. Hank, if he were to learn magic, might be a being who could surpass Doom! Tony didn't know why the idea popped into his head.
But it doesn't matter anymore, because more surprising things are to come.
Tony finally decides to stay for dinner, as he still needs a chance to talk to Crimson about what he needs her help with. This could only be voluntary, not forced, and the Illuminati were afraid that forcing Crimson to use her abilities would remind her of memories that weren't good in Hydra.
Wanda and Ms. Lorena are baking cookies in the kitchen and a beef pie that smells very tempting. Tony could already smell the slight burnt aroma of the crust and the mellow aroma of the beef.
In the backyard, a long table is set up, which Hank has set up with Pietro. And now Pietro is running a barbecue grill in the backyard.
"Oh, wait, wait, wait. Don't rush to flip the dough, I have a chef friend who said that you need to wait for the edge of the meat to be slightly browned and turn it over and preferably only once. "Dr. Hank is instructing Pietro on how to grill meat.
Pietro just nodded when he saw Tony, then stood next to Hank and asked, "Hank, do you need onions?"
"Of course, if we have onions, we can make a little barbecue sauce. You can chop an onion first and we'll keep it later. By the way, leave some raw onion rings. Hank commanded.
"Gentlemen, I've brought some drinks. Wanda came out of the kitchen with some drinks, carbonated soda and beer, and said to Tony, "Coke or beer?"
"Beer, thank you. ”
After giving Tony a beer, Wanda walked straight to Dr. Hank's side, "No, and yours, Pietro!" The two who were grilling the meat also got their own drinks.
"Sister, what do you think of my knife skills?" Pietro was showing off his knife skills but was despised by Wanda: "It sucks. ”
As she spoke, Wanda stood behind Hank and leaned her head on Dr. Hank affectionately. Hank said in a doting tone, "Aren't you going to do Lorena a favor?"
"Oh, the rest of the work Lorenca says she can do it. So I guess I can take a break. Wanda was as playful as a sixteen-year-old girl, and Hank scratched her nose and she didn't dodge.
"Wait, look at my onion missile!" Pietro, who was chopping the onions, threw the chopped onions into the hot cast-iron stew pan, which was intended for barbecue sauce. But because the butter had just melted inside, Pietro did so and a lot of butter splashed out.
"Oops! you got it on me!" Wanda was angry, she was wearing a red shirt that was now dyed with yellow dots.
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't hit me, that's what Hank told me to put out. Pietro turned away from Wanda and hid behind Hank.
"Kids, kids, can you let me grill meat quietly for a while?" Hank complained, but Tony couldn't hear any resentment.
At this time, Lorina brought out a plate of freshly roasted beef, and she smiled and said, "Is anyone hungry? If you are hungry, you can eat a little first, don't eat too much." We're going to save our stomachs for Hank's barbecue feast. ”
Hank gave Loryna a thumbs up, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Tony, who was sitting next to him drinking beer and watching all this, suddenly had a feeling that these four people together were the real family. What Professor Charles, what Magneto Marx, they don't matter anymore.
So after all these years, who is the loser and who is the winner now?
