Because of Bruce Wayne's words, Lee Winter couldn't sleep all night.
So the next day, she came to the Avengers headquarters with her eyes rubbed and tired, wanting to tell Mr. Tony Stark in detail about the events of "Ant-Man" yesterday - but not to mention the other companions of the Avengers, she had just entered the building headquarters and received greetings and doubts from Jarvis.
Jarvis said, "It's nice to see you, Miss Winter, but your face doesn't look good, did you have a bad rest yesterday?" β
Hearing this, Li Wente quickly rubbed his face, trying to make himself look more energetic, before he replied, "It's a little trivial...... But it doesn't matter, are the captain and Mr. Stark there? There's something I need to tell them. β
Jarvis said kindly, "The captain will arrive around the afternoon, and Mr. Tony is in the reference room." There is a wide variety of Justice League materials that Wonder Woman shares, and it takes time to process them. β
Li Winter nodded, and just as he wanted to go to the reference room, he stopped again and asked, "If Mr. Stark is working, I'll wait a while, is Natasha here?" She looked a little overwhelmed, "I have a question I want to consult her." β
"Agent Romanoff is on a joint mission with the captain this time, so she's probably there in the afternoon." After a pause, Jarvis said, "Do you have any troubles, ma'am?" Maybe I can help you. β
Li Winter thought to himself: I know you are the omnipotent Jarvis, but if you know about this, doesn't that mean Mr. Stark knows? Not long ago I tried to prove to him that I had nothing to do with Mr. Wayne, so that he could know what Mr. Wayne had said, and that it would be strange not to be angry.
So she chose to follow Jarvis's advice and meet the Scarlet Witch first.
And that's when she chooses to have a fun esports time with Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver is chatting with Peter Parker.
Quicksilver heard Peter's words, the hard candy in his mouth clicked and snapped, he paused, and then he couldn't believe it: "Bruce Wayne is so despicable!" With such a small wound, he could trick Winter into taking care of him for a week? β
"But that's not the point anymore." Quicksilver looked very unhappy with Peter Parker's behavior, "You just watched him say something like that? Didn't seal his mouth with your super powerful spider silk? β
Peter Parker sighed on the other side of the phone, and he retorted, "It's Batman, do you have a better way?" β
Quicksilver didn't hesitate: "Of course, if I'm there, I'll confess first, and no matter how bad it is, I can take Winter away directly, and he won't be able to catch up with me." β
Peter Parker couldn't help but remind: "Thank you, I can't catch up with you either!" After a pause, he asked rhetorically, "Wait, what do you mean by confessing first?" β
Quicksilver was stunned, thinking that it was difficult to say that he had leaked his mouth. But before he could say anything else, Tony Stark knocked on his open door with a mug.
Tony leaned against the door, holding his mug and motioning to Quicksilver, "Quicksilver, there are a few things I want to ask you about the Flash...... views. Halfway through his words, he noticed that Quicksilver was on his hands-free phone next to the bed, "Not available?" β
Quicksilver: "Uh...... No! Mr. Stark, I-"
Quicksilver reached out and wanted to turn off the phone, but Peter asked again, "Hey, Pietro!" I think you need to explain to me, what is the suggestion to confess to Winter first? β
Tony Stark was keenly aware of the key lines, and he gestured to Quicksilver with his eyes and held out his hand to him.
Quicksilver originally wanted to refuse, but he later thought about the relationship between Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne, so he handed over the phone very cooperatively.
Tony received the phone, looked at the caller ID, and said, "Peter, did you confess to Winter?" β
Peter Parker: "......"
Peter Parker, who heard Tony Stark's voice, stiffened for a moment, but under the urging words from the other side, he could only answer the scalp: "It's not me." β
"Not you?" Tony Stark raised an eyebrow and looked at Quicksilver, who immediately raised his hands to show his innocence.
So Iron Man turned to asking, "Who is that?" Her classmates? β
Peter Parker still remembers Leewin's "don't tell Mr. Stark" admonition, and he doesn't think he has the ability to lie in front of Tony Stark, so he chooses to hang up directly.
Tony Stark looked at his hung up phone and was dumbfounded: "This kid dares to hang up with me now!?" β
Quicksilver began to look at his dorm room, but in short, he didn't want to look at Iron Man.
Tony gradually felt that something was wrong, he took a sip of water, stared at Quicksilver, and suddenly said, "Bruce Wayne proposed to Winter?" β
Quicksilver retorted, "No, Peter said it was just a request for a relationship...... Belch. β
Tony Stark was stunned when he heard the words and squirted out a mouthful of water.
Mr. Pietro, who found that he had slipped his mouth, said quickly, "Mr. Stark, what did you ask me before?" The Flash's situation? β
Tony Stark's response is to ignore Quicksilver and redial the phone to Peter Parker, and use black technology to force Peter to answer the phone.
As soon as the phone was connected, Tony asked in a strange tone, "You didn't notify me of such a big thing in the first place?" β
Peter Parker was at a loss for words.
Because Iron Man's voice sounded very angry, his words were even a little mean: "Is Bruce Wayne crazy!?" β
It's nothing more than that Tony Stark will think Bruce Wayne is crazy, after all, anyone who knows a little bit about Batman will find it incredible.
"A vigilante who likes to wander around at night! The enemy is crammed into a mental hospital! When he became an adult, he was still living in the shadow of his childhood, with obvious stubbornness and self-sacrificing tendencies - this kind of guy who should obviously be lonely for a lifetime, and now he actually confesses to a girl who is not deeply involved in the world? β
"What does he want to do? Do you drag someone to live in hell with him before you die!? β
"Tony, aren't you really talking about yourself by saying that?" Natasha examined her nails for a moment, before she raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Iron Man, who was obviously a little enraged, "What's more, this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with us. β
She couldn't help but sigh and reminded, "It's personal freedom, right?" β
"I'm sorry Natasha, you just said 'freedom'?" Tony snorted, "That's not how you did when you wrote me the evaluation report. β
"I'm just referring to Winter." Natasha said slowly, "Don't you think it's Winter's freedom?" Whether she likes it or not, it's up to her to decide, not us here pretending to have a meeting and decide for her. β
Hearing this, Tony Stark decided without hesitation, "Then call Winter." β
Natasha didn't even have time to stop it, and Tony had already ordered Jarvis to bring Winter. Seeing that things were going in the worst direction, Natasha couldn't help but reach out and hold her head down, and sighed deeply.
"Tony, you'll regret interfering in this." She tried to make a final redemption, "Winter just looks small, but she has long been a mature and independent woman with her own thoughts. β
Tony retorted: "That's why we need to help her eliminate the danger she can't see, so that she doesn't 'think she's safe' and falls." β
As he spoke, he looked at Captain America: "Captain, Winter is your fan, I'm afraid your words are more useful than all of us here, at this time, aren't you going to say something?" β
Captain America doesn't know much about Lee Winter and Bruce Wayne because he doesn't spend a lot of time in the department, but that doesn't stop him from making the right choice - firmly on Natasha's side: "Winter should decide this matter himself." β
βhatοΌοΌβ Tony Stark looked a little incredulous, "Have you all been bought by Bruce Wayne?" β
"Tony, you know what we mean." Natasha hit the nail on the head, "What's more, you have a bias against Bruce Wayne himself, which affects your judgment." β
"Prejudice? No, no, no, what he does doesn't need to be 'prejudiced' anymore. Tony pinched the bridge of his nose and looked anxious, "If the Justice League sent the invitation to work together for Bruce Wayne, I don't think we can talk about it now." β
"βI'm not interested in selling my companions for some gain."
"What don't you talk about?"
When Leonwon and the Scarlet Witch came to the conference room, they heard this, and when she saw that everyone in the room was not very good-looking, she swallowed the rest of the words back as soon as she asked.
She stood at the door and paused: "Am I unfortunate to come, or will I come back later?" β
"No, you're here at the right time." Tony turned around and commanded, "I just have something I want to inform you." β
Lee Winter: "Huh? What is it? Got a task? β
Natasha couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and shouted in a low voice, "Tony! β
"You can think of it as a mission." Iron Man turned a deaf ear, "Winter, reject Bruce Wayne, don't see him again." β
Lee Winter: "??? β
She was confused: "Mr. Stark, I don't quite understand what you mean......"
Tony Stark looked at her, looking more sober: "I mean, refuse Bruce Wayne's request and stay away from him." β
Lee Winter: "......? β
She was stunned for a moment before she realized what Tony meant.
Li Winter first tried to explain: "Mr. Stark, this matter is not what you think-"
"I'm a consequentialist." Tony Stark interrupted her, "Bruce Wayne isn't a good guy. β
When Li Winter heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart, and she couldn't help but say, "Mr. Stark, your evaluation is unfair. β
"My justice is to sober you up before you say anything worse." There was no room for maneuver in Iron Man's words, "I told you early in the morning, Bruce Wayne didn't have a good heart!" β
A night of irritability, combined with such unexplained reproaches from Tony Stark, made Leewin's mood extremely bad almost in a short time.
She was silent for a while before she asked, "Are you looking for me just to talk about this?" β
Tony bowed: "Yes." β
Li Winter turned around and left.
Tony Stark was also obviously annoyed by her attitude, he slammed the door before Li Winter went out, stopped in front of her, bowed his head and said expressionlessly: "If you feel embarrassed to reply, I can do it for you." β
Lee Winter wants to open the door, but she finds out that Tony Stark has canceled her permissions.
Her eyes flushed red almost as soon as she saw the "No authorization" on the electronic screen, so that she had to sneak out and wipe the tail of her eyes hard to suppress the sourness that was pouring up.
This time, even Captain America couldn't stand it, he reopened the door with his authority, and frowned: "Tony! β
Lee Winter has always been very grateful to Iron Man, not only for his guidance on her path after becoming a mutant, but also because for her, in the face of this somewhat strange foreign land, Iron Man quietly helped make her feel that she was never alone.
It was Tony Stark who invited her to The Avengers and allowed her to really begin to get to know this wonderful and vast universe.
To her, Tony Stark is like her mentor and her eldest brother.
At all times, Lee Winter always has full respect for Iron Man.
β but not this time.
Although she had no intention of agreeing to Bruce Wayne in the first place, being interfered with in this way, and even peeping into her privacy, made Li Winter feel a great offense.
For a moment, she couldn't help but have malicious thoughts like "I finally know why Iron Man is called a 'lone hero'" because of her anger.
The corners of Liwin's mouth were tightly pursed, so as not to say anything irreparable because of a momentary emotion.
Tony Stark still looked like "I am the truth", and after one last glance at him, Lee Wintert walked around him without hesitation, passed through the door reopened by Captain America, and left without hesitation.
The Scarlet Witch looked at Tony, who was ugly, and then at Winter, who was walking away in a bad mood. Hardly hesitating, he turned and chased after him.
Natasha stared at Iron Man with a stiff expression before she slowly spoke:
"I told you, you'd mess up, Tony."
Tony didn't answer, he just stood there for a long time before asking Natasha an inexplicable question.
Tony suddenly asked, "Was she going to cry just now?" β
Natasha couldn't believe that at this time, Tony Stark's focus was still these, she suppressed her temper and stood up, walked out without looking back, and coldly dropped a sentence: "At least now, she won't cry to you." β
