"Ants?"
Li Wintert looked at the back of his hand, which was red and swollen from the bite, and the pain was long. This kind of scene, especially in this world with superheroes, is really reminiscent of a certain hero.
Ant-Man.
Ant-Man is one of the last heroes in the Marvel movie series, but this does not detract from his charm in the slightest. In the movie, Scott Lang appeared as the second generation of Ant-Man, and the story began with the first generation of Ant-Man leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. because of a disagreement with Iron Man's father, Howard Stark. Scott Lang is the heir chosen by Dr. Hank Pym, an ant-man generation.
Compared to Spider-Man, the superhero, who is also named after insects, becomes a hero in the same way as Iron Man, and his ability to become bigger and smaller comes from the Ant-Man combat suit invented by Dr. Pym, and the key prop that provides energy to the combat suit, "Pym Particles". Similarly, his ability to manipulate ants is obtained through the analog annunciator invented by Dr. Pym - arguably one of the few poor people who can become superheroes by relying on equipment.
Yes, you heard it right. Hank Pym, a generation of Ant-Man, is a rich man, but the Scott Lang he chooses is a true unemployed vagrant who can't even keep his job because of his criminal record, his girlfriend ran away with someone when he gets out of prison, and his girlfriend who has no money doesn't let him visit his biological daughter.
However, as a hero, he has one thing above all.
- A good person.
Lee Winter took the ointment from Alfred and applied it to the bite on the back of her hand, and the cold ointment spread on the back of her hand, greatly relieving her pain.
Alfred glanced at the bullet ants on Bruce Wayne's fingertips, and then looked at the clean ants that disappeared on the floor in Wayne Manor in the blink of an eye, and said in a somewhat nonchalant tone: "Bullet ants live in South America, and it is a bit unusual to appear in the United States at this time. β
He handed the ointment to Lee Winter, and affirmed, "Probably I forgot to remove the insects regularly, Miss Winter, and it seems that I have to do my job first." β
Li Winter almost blurted out, "Don't, just kill insects and kill people!" However, she quickly bit her tongue.
β¦β¦ Pesticides probably can't kill Ant-Man.
It turns out that insecticides probably won't work, but mosquito swatters can.
Alfred calmly swept his hand on the ground, and the accuracy was so high that Ant-Man, who didn't know where to hide, was forced to suddenly enlarge, and raised his hand to the butler and said to the butler: "Don't, don't! If you don't do this, it will cause a short circuit! β
In order to avoid the mosquito swatter, Ant-Man jumped onto the dining table at Wayne Manor, and when he raised his hands to refuse, Bruce Wayne, who was reading the newspaper, and Li Winter, who was about to drink tea with a teacup, all looked at him.
Ant-Man, who was forced to be exposed, kept his movements frozen in place, probably 100% embarrassed. He thought for a moment and put his hands up, presumably to show that he had no ill intentions.
But through the loudspeaker on the mask, the first thing he said was to Li Winter.
"Oh no, don't, don'tβdon't go there, Anthony!"
Scott Lang's voice sounded terrified, and he reached out and stabbed Lee Winter in the throat!
Li Winter was stunned for a moment, and as soon as the order of "no harm in five minutes" was given, Batman first held the other party's stabbing hand. However, seeing this, Ant-Man could only use his strength to knock over the teacup in Li Winter's hand, and then catch it with his left hand!
When Scott Lang breathed a sigh of relief, Lee Winter noticed that there was a winged ant flying up at the rim of her cup, and because of Scott Lang's sudden behavior, he successfully avoided the end of "drowning black tea", and flew away slowly.
Scott Lang's nervousness finally subsided, and he waved his hand at his good companion, pretending to be brisk, "Let's go, my partner, I'll be fine here." After a pause, he looked at Bruce Wayne, "Probably." β
Bruce Wayne closed the newspaper and spoke, "Ant-Man, the culprit responsible for the collapse of the Pym Company not long ago. What are you doing here with me? Could it be that there are also things in the Wayne Group that Ant-Man has taken a fancy to? β
Scott just wanted to say "I'm not hostile", but before he could say anything, he first discovered the subtext in the other party's words.
He was surprised: "My reputation has spread so widely? No, I mean, how did Mr. Wayne know about me-"
Bruce Wayne was a little impatient: "The Pym Company has a stake in the Wayne Group. The rest of the sentence Bruce Wayne didn't say. The reason why he invested in Pym was just to focus on Darren Cross, who was on the verge of madness. Darren Cross conquered Hank Pym's technology and developed the Wasp suit - if Hank Pym didn't act, Batman would have ruined the company.
But all this Scott Lang and Hank Pym apparently did not know.
Hank Pym, who left S.H.I.E.L.D., doesn't even know who Bruce Wayne is, and I'm afraid he doesn't even know anything about the Justice League list that S.H.I.E.L.D. has in possession.
Scott's voice was full of embarrassment: "Sorry Mr. Wayne, messed up your investment, it's just that I have my reasons-"
Bruce Wayne said directly: "Your purpose." β
Scott said honestly: "She." β
Leonte looked at Scott's finger pointing at her, stunned, she pointed at herself: "Me? β
Scott: "...... That's right. My friend took an order, and he was a rich young master. He seemed to want to see you, but he didn't have the right opportunity to contact you, so he found my friend, and through my friend, he found me. β
Li Wente interrupted him gently, but the words were not very polite: "Excuse me, whatever the reason? Can I conclude that your actions are attempted kidnapping? β
"No, no, no, I don't do much crime." Scott emphasized, "So I was just going to find you, and then I was going to give this to you quietly." β
Scott pulled out a concert ticket from his weapon bag on his waist, and the ticket was sandwiched in a gilded sticker dyed with incense, looking very tall: "This is it." β
Li Wente took the post, took out the ticket boy, looked at it carefully, and determined that it was just an ordinary VIP symphony orchestra ticket, and couldn't help but be full of suspicion: "Someone specially invited Ant-Man in order to send me a ticket!?" β
Scott shrugged his shoulders: "I also feel incredible, you have to know that he paid ten thousand dollars, and he only needs me to deliver the post to you." β
Li Wintert was curious: "What if I don't go?" β
Scott said decisively: "It's better not to go, anyway, the money has already arrived!" β
Li Wintert couldn't help but laugh, she sighed, "I'll go." β
"The other party asked you to deliver the letter because he knew that I would go when I saw you." Li Winter nodded, indeed, if the ticket only appeared in her mailbox, she would probably ignore it outright. But if Ant-Man was invitedβand only to deliver a letterβLeon's curiosity would have been completely arousedβif it was just to find out who the other person was, she wanted to see it.
She shook the ticket in her hand: "It seems that at least it's an 'acquaintance', otherwise I wouldn't have thought of this way?" β
When Scott heard this, he had to interrupt Lee Winter: "Wait, we know each other? β
"I know you." Lee Winter smiled, "If I go there is an extra bonus, right?" β
Scott: "...... How do you know? β
Because I know you're short of child support.
Li Wente didn't explain, just smiled: "I'll go, take your reward with peace of mind." β
Seeing that Li Winter's promise went so smoothly, Scott himself became unsure: "...... Maybe dangerous? β
"Didn't you say it yourself? Just an ordinary young master. Lee Wintert loosened his shoulders, "I won't go alone." β
"I'll go with you."
Lee Winter heard Bruce Wayne's words and couldn't help but let out a "huh". She had just planned to ask Bruce Wayne to see if she could buy two more tickets for her, and she was going to ask Quicksilver and Wanda to come.
Bruce Wayne said: "There may be a plot by the Joker, I am not worried. β
Lee Winter was tempted to say that the Joker would not accept Ant-Man's entrustment, but she hadn't figured out how to explain it yet. The dusty Winter Soldier has returned.
He was carrying a large bag of souvenirs from his trip, and he was stunned when he saw Ant-Man.
He spoke, "Lang? β
Ant-Man looked a little excited when he saw the Winter Soldier: "Ah, Mr. Barnes! Hello! This time, I was very honored to join the battle led by the captain, and I was able to fight with the members of the former commando team! Halfway through speaking, he suddenly reacted: "Why are you here?" β
The Winter Soldier pointed at Bruce Wayne, "I'm his hired bodyguard. β
As soon as the words fell, Ant-Man was in awe of Bruce Wayne's attitude. Li Wintert looked at his straight back and could guess his mental activity.
Oh my God, the boss of the Wayne Group can even hire the Winter Soldier as a bodyguard! It's good to have money, I don't know if I can save the money to ask Captain America to spend a week with my daughter, she also likes Team America.
Before Li Winter could finish dubbing this passage in his mind, the Winter Soldier spoke first: "I heard a conspiracy? Did something happen, Mr. Wayne? β
Bruce Wayne looked at Lee Winter.
Li Wente waved the ticket in his hand and explained: "It's nothing, it's just that someone sent this, I'm a little curious, and I'm going to take a look." β
The Winter Soldier briefly asked Lewinter a few words about his plan, and when he heard about her choice, he objected.
James said: "Although he caught the wishbone this time, it is clear that he is not the mastermind. There's a plot hatched against mutants, and we don't know enough about it. It's best not to be a mutant to accompany you, and if you're not worried about Mr. Wayne, then I'll go with you. β
Li Wente thought for a moment and nodded briskly: "Then I'll trouble you." β
Bruce Wayne: "......"
Probably because his unhappy aura was too strong, and even the Winter Soldier accepted Batman's unpleasant emotions, so he paused and added, "Mr. Wayne is familiar with this kind of venue, and he may be more confident with us to meet the person who invited you." β
Bruce Wayne said: "My own body, I know the specifics very well. One week is enough for me to recover. β
Li Winter thought that with the Winter Soldier here, there was probably no need for Batman to do it, so the three of them quickly approved the plan.
Ant-Man stood awkwardly to the side, waiting for them to finish talking before he said, "Maybe you're willing to buy me an extra ticket?" After all, it was I who sent the ticket, and I am also obliged to guarantee the safety of this young lady. β
He glanced at the expressionless Bruce Wayne, and then at the Winter Soldier who was writing "I don't have the money to buy a ticket, I have to rely on Mr. Wayne", swallowed all the requests, and said silently, "Okay, I can go in by myself." β
The concert will begin at 8 p.m. in the metropolis.
Mr. Alfred, who was omnipotent, helped them buy another ticket in five minutes, but for some reason, he could not contact the purchaser of the ticket numbers around Liewint, so the seat numbers could only be divided, not continuous.
For the Winter Soldier and Batman, though, it doesn't matter where the location is...... Probably.
Lee Wintert changed into a more formal skirt and rarely stepped on high heels.
Bruce Wayne drove, and the group arrived at the recital hall on time.
Of course, no one outside the recital hall was waiting for Lee Winter, and after the three of them combined, they decided to go to the concert first to see what the other party wanted to do.
However, when Li Wintert sat down according to her seat number, the young man sitting next to her was so surprised that she almost forgot to sit down.
She blinked and asked softly, "Peter?" β
Peter Parker, who was sitting in the soft seat, noticed the shadow blocking in front of him, took off his headphones and looked up.
When Lee Winter, who was wearing a light blue ruffle dress, met his pupils, Peter Parker's face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
He was a little flustered and tried to stand up, but then realized that this was not appropriate, and sat down again. When Li Winter also sat down, he turned his head sideways and asked softly, "Winter?" How did you get here? β
In order to avoid Peter Parker's worry, Li Winter said simply: "Someone gave me a ticket, what about you?" β
"Almost." Peter Parker looked around, "Harry asked me to come, but he doesn't seem to have arrived yet." β
