Chapter 52

*

"May I ask who gave the order to treat the girl inside like this?"

Steve glared at the agent at the door, telling him to open it.

"Captain, I can't open this door without an order from my superiors, and you were a soldier before, so you should be able to understand my difficulties."

The agent refused to open the special room where Isbelle was being held.

"Where's Phil Cousson?"

Captain America is indeed an empathetic gentleman, and instead of embarrassing the agents, he wants to find Curson to solve the problem.

"Do you mean Agent Cousson, he might be in the third floor room...... Who! ”

The agent quickly raised his gun and fired at the humanoid Qì man rushing in front of him.

"Phew!"

The humanoid man flew in front of him, slapped the agent with one palm, and then used the laser in his hand to cut open the door of the special room, kicked his foot, and walked in.

"Stark!" Steve pulled the machine and asked, "Why are you back again?" Also, this is S.H.I.E.L.D., so you'd better be careful. ”

"Shut up, great Captain America!"

Tony Stark waved his hand away impatiently and flew towards Isbelli in the middle, "I knew it wouldn't end well with this big soldier, look how he took care of you, let the S.H.I.E.L.D. people bleed you and chained you, hell, what kind of bastard are they!" As he spoke, he wanted to use the weapon he carried in the steel suit to break the chains and save the suffering Bailey.

"Tony, I'm fine."

Isbelli smiled and spoke softly, not wanting Tony to fight S.H.I.E.L.D. for her sake.

"Really, miss, don't you look at your wrist? The tied gauze is already soaked in blood, ok? Tony glared at the bloodstains on the chains, "Jarvis, analyze the structure of the chains, why don't you keep getting this damn thing!" All of his weapons that wouldn't hurt Isbelle were used, but the chains were still firmly bound to her, barely broken.

"Wait a minute, sir." Jarvis scanned the chain, analyzing its composition and structure.

"Stark, can you stop your mindless moves? These chains are S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff, and they can't be broken casually. Steve was displeased with Tony's recklessness, and he wrung his eyebrows and said, "Enough, stand here and do nothing, or leave immediately, and I'll go find Cousson to untie the chains." ”

"It's up to you to leave." Tony opened the mask and looked at Steve coldly, "You opened your mouth and said that you were Bailey's brother, so what were you doing when Bailey was hurt?" Sorry, don't you have eyes? Did you stop Bailey when she slit her wrist and bled out? No, you don't, you're watching from the door. Then, the one-eyed guy said he wanted to see you, and you left Bailey, who was still bandaging her wounds, and left. You're right, this is S.H.I.E.L.D., from the beginning to the future, I just want to imprison or use Bailey as a kind of guinea pig real yàn. Come on, do you think they're going to treat Bailey like I did like a little princess? Seriously, I don't want to be □□ for you, but what you've done is disdainful. ”

"......" Steve pursed his lips and walked over to Bailey, a look of guilt, "I'm sorry, Bailey, Nick mentioned Peggy, you know, Peggy is important to me. ”

"It's okay." Isbelle looked at him calmly, "Is Miss Carter okay, the last time I saw her, she seemed to be in terrible health. ”

"Yes, Nick said she had trouble breathing last night and I'm really worried about her." Peggy Carter was Steve Rogers' first woman she had a crush on, a teacher, a friend, and a confidante, and if he had returned to the barracks that year, he might have become a lover with her. "I haven't been to see her since I woke up, and it sounds a little unkind, so I thought I'd find a time to meet her in the next few days, and you can come with me."

Hearing this, Isbelli lowered her eyes, the smile on her face stiffened a little, "Steve, it's good that you go to see Miss Carter alone, she probably doesn't want to see me." She remembered very well that Peggy Carter had never liked her, not to mention that the last time the two met was so unpleasant, she definitely didn't want to see her again, so why bother with her reunion with the man she had loved before.

"I'll stay with S.H.I.E.L.D. so everyone can rest assured." She also needs time to find the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

Steve nodded, "Okay, I'll take you with me next time." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Phil Coson, "It's Cousson who came over, and I asked him to take these things away." After that, he raised his eyes to look at Tony, who was still thinking about how to break the chain, "Bailey, you should not associate with that kind of impulsive and arrogant person in the future, I am afraid that he will cause you to be hurt." ”

"Do you want to fight?"

Tony blew up in a second, waving his hand to punch Steve.

"Mr. Stark!"

Curson showed up just in time to stop a confrontation, and he glanced at Fitz in the rear, who hurriedly walked over to Bailey with a modified metal ring and replaced the chain.

"The injured wrist is going to carry this broken thing?" Tony grabbed Fitz's hand, "Do you have humanity?" Are all eyes good-looking, can't you see that Bailey's wrists are still bleeding. ”

"Don't put this on yet, leave it to me." Steve also reached for the metal ring from Fitz's hand.

Seeing this, Curson smiled and said, "Yes, I believe the captain, relieve some of the pressure, and put it on when Bailey's wound is healed." ”

Tony snatched the metal ring from Steve's hand, and then picked up Isbelle, "No need, from this second on, Bailey will be taken care of by me, you don't want to touch her hair again!" With that, he flew towards the outside of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Stark !!"

Steve was a step slower and didn't have the shield in his hand, so he could only watch Isbelle being taken away, and to his surprise, Coleson didn't stop him.

"Isn't the captain going to see Carter's seniors, just let Bailey stay with Mr. Stark for a few days, anyway, there is a metal ring monitoring, and we don't feel at ease if she stays in S.H.I.E.L.D., worried that the whereabouts of the Cosmic Cube will be found out by her."

Shiyue's ability is to directly view the contents of other people's brains through physical contact, and frankly, Isbelle's departure has made Corson breathe a sigh of relief.

For Steve Rogers, he really had to meet Peggy Carter, an old friend, so let Bailey stay with Tony for a while and then come back to Peggy when he was done.

Malibu, California.

The steel suit made a graceful arc through the air before landing on the cobblestone ground.

The word cramped will never appear in Tony, but in the face of Isbelli, he will always make a lot of exceptions.

"Welcome home, Miss Lily."

Jarvis's gentle voice was the first to greet him.

"Can this still be my home?"

Isbelli chuckled, her body instantly relaxed, and she walked down the stairs to the familiar basement.

"Derpy found the medical kit, we can help you with the wound right away, it looks terrible."

Jarvis scanned Isbelli's still bleeding hand.

Derpy still looks dumbfounded, with three mechanical claws hanging from the medicine box, tilting her head to look at her, being blocked by something else on her way, and as a result, she keeps spinning in place.

"Hey, you little clumsy, what a shame on me."

Tony took off his suit and walked down, pulled Isbelli forward, and took a few steps to Derpy's side and took the medicine kit, "Baby, come here, sit on the couch, I don't want you to be tired of two little legs." ”

"I'm not tired."

Isbelle replied earnestly.

"Well, I'm tired, so come to the couch." Tony is simply helpless with her, she is the only one who can't afford to let go, and wants to possess it, but the other party's mind doesn't seem to be on her.

"I hate to see you hurt, such a beautiful wrist, how can those guys bear to leave a wound on it."

He took her hand and gently untied the outer layer of gauze, and the smell of blood gradually spread into the air.

The wounds were mostly frightening, and the special needles and threads sutured looked like ugly centipedes clinging to Isbelli's wrists, contrasting with the snow-white skin.

“……”

Tony rarely kept his mouth shut, but looking at Isbelli's injured wrist, he frowned and pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

"Tony, are you angry?"

Isbelli saw a deep wrinkle on his forehead, deeper than Steve's.

"Does it hurt? Jarvis got you a strawberry cake, and I didn't have my share, but I wouldn't mind if you ate it in front of me. He focused on the work at hand and didn't look up, his sideburns sweating slightly, and he could see that he was very nervous about her.

"It doesn't hurt, thank you Tony."

"The cake was prepared by Jarvis, not me, what do you thank me, dear little princess."

Tony wiped the last of the blood stains and wrapped the wound with a protective patch before he looked up and smiled at Isbelle.

"Tony has a tender heart."

Isbelli noticed the beads of sweat in his ears, and her heart warmed, and she raised her hand to wipe it away with her fingers.

"You think I'm gentle? So who is more gentle than the old popsicle of the big-headed soldier? ”

He just wasn't convinced, he felt that there was nothing good about Steve Rogers, Bailey would only suffer if he followed him, and he didn't really want to protect her at all.

“……”

Isbelle couldn't answer, for there were no good or bad guys, everyone was equal. Steve took good care of her, and when she first came to Earth, with Bucky, he did take care of her like an older brother and a parent, and Tony and Rod played the same role and took care of her like an elder.

"I think all those who are good to me are gentle."

That's probably all she could say.

Tony wasn't happy about it, but he didn't say anything and just scratched her nose.

"Okay, my little princess, whatever you say, come on, show you the new room that Jarvis and I have laid out for you."

"You forgot Major Rhodes was involved as well, sir."

Jarvis reminded Tony that after learning of Isbelli's change, the two of them sat together and talked for a long time, from arguing to inexplicably deciding to set up a princess room for Miss Lily, and she would be able to live in it as soon as she returned.

"Rhodes...... Poof, does he still want me to call him Daddy? ”

Isbelle remembered that when she was a child, James Rhodes used to hug her despite her cold face and then teach her to call her father over and over again.

"Then you'll have to ask him in person when he comes."

Tony clearly remembered the funny things too, and the corners of his lips curled up with pleasure.

"Come on, little princess."

He spread out his hands and made a gentleman's "please".
