Chapter 47 A Thousand Things

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry, dear......" Daniel crouched in front of Lukes and apologized with a bitter face: "I really didn't mean to be late, baby! It's just that today our boss came back from abroad, so everyone had to work overtime. ”

"Is overtime tiring?" Lux looked up and asked curiously.

His soft and obedient blonde hair was lowered, and his angelic brown eyes were clear and innocent: "Is Daniel tired from work?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm not tired at all, I'm full of energy. It's just that I can't walk away from meetings all the time. The boss came back and wanted to give a meeting to everyone and talk to something......"

Daniel replied movingly, and explained half-truthfully: "The boss is half a scientist, and every time he talks about those science and engineering things, I don't understand well, so I've been wandering hahaha." ”

However, Lux did not laugh with him, and the expression on his little face was very stern.

He said worriedly: "Then you are distracted, didn't the boss tell you to go out to punish the station?" ”

"No, baby, don't worry."

Daniel picked him up, kissed him on the cheek, and said heartlessly, "There are a lot of people in the room, and the boss won't be just staring at me." ”

Is this attitude really good? Baby Lux looked at him suspiciously.

But after all, the child couldn't concentrate on things for too long, and he was quickly distracted by Daniel: "The one you are holding in your hand is Captain America?" ”

"That's right! My Lux is so smart! Daniel hugged him tightly as he handed over one of the American soldiers he had brought over: "The shield can be removed there, and the helmet can also be ...... Do you like it? ”

"I like it." Lux smiled.

He tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "However, I still prefer Iron Man a little bit." ”

"Iron Man? As cool as it looks, I don't think it's really a captain to like. Daniel commented simply, but seeing Lukes' serious expression, he couldn't help but answer him: "Then I'll give you another Iron Man tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, I want the pink Iron Man." Lux was immediately distracted and emphatically said, "Pink." ”

"Uh...... Lux, Iron Man is golden-red! Daniel frowned in embarrassment.

"The one who saved me is pink, and he's a steel girl."

Lux stubbornly but sensibly said, "If not, don't want it." ”

Daniel really hasn't sold the pink Iron Man (mainly no one buys it), but it seems that this is the first request that little Lux made to himself.

He struggled for a moment, and quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, pink." If it doesn't bother me, I'll bring it to you tomorrow. ”

As the father and son stand on the side of the road to take a taxi, Daniel discovers that after having a child, he can no longer always phantom and move back and forth as before.

'Maybe I should consider getting a driver's license?' ’

He was extremely entangled in thinking, the Avengers, the little Lux, and a bunch of miscellaneous things in his head...... Things are really like a mess of yarn, a thousand things, more and more.

'Don't worry, take your time, I'll figure it out.' Daniel slowly comforted himself with his great patience.

But in fact, the previous desperate virus did not have a little impact on him, although he kept wandering while Tony was talking, he was still a little uneasy and worried about whether this incident would bring any changes to his family.

It's not the same person as it used to be, and there's little Lux to protect.

It has to be more careful and cautious.

Back at home, little Lux does his homework and he goes to make dinner.

Then, they ate together and, under Daniel's advice, played some simple puzzle games together to enhance their relationship.

Lukes has a really high IQ, and he is very fast at puzzles; When guessing a riddle, he can always guess the answer, unless the riddle is far beyond his current knowledge.

"Actually, I'm better at other things." Daniel looked at the messy pieces of the puzzle on his side, and then at the dragon that had been put together on Lukes's side, and explained with a little embarrassment.

He impatiently threw a puzzle piece to the ground, and said with an indifferent expression: "People always have things that they are not good at, okay, then let's do it today." ”

Lux looked at him in silence, and when the kid didn't speak, his facial expression was so stern.

"You shouldn't be like that." He said childishly.

"What?" Daniel looked at him in amazement.

"When you do something, you should start and finish well."

Lux said seriously like an adult: "You're only halfway through the fight, and you're going to give up?" That's not right! You are an adult, and adults should set a good example for children. ”

“……”

Daniel blinked his blue eyes and began to remember his relatives and friends, assuming that they would have done in such a situation.

If it was Alphad, well, his optimistic dad would probably go straight to the spell and the puzzle would take shape in no time. He'll also take the opportunity to sell, 'Look, Daniel, spells matter. ’

If it was Sirius, he would probably have turned into a big black dog, bouncing little Harry up and down, playing with 'him' until he left it behind......

Lucius, probably not going to play puzzle with the little dragon.

If it's Tony, come on, it's impossible for a genius scientist to be stumped by a puzzle.

He thought about it for a while, and found that the way of these relatives and friends was really not helpful to him.

A look of disappointment already appeared on Lukes' little face.

In a way, this child was well educated by his parents, and may have been more influenced by his father, who was serious and diligent in thinking, but also lively and innocent.

But this kind of personality is a bit of a problem for Daniel, who has always been a little loose.

The first minor conflict between father and son arises.

Lux deeply felt that he should bring the bad things of this new father to the end, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have great skills, but a person shouldn't have good qualities.

Like him, the work is perfunctory (because Daniel is always vague when he mentions work, and he can't tell a child how to save the world, right?). Listening to others and getting distracted, doing things halfway......

These are all bad habits that his father has repeatedly taught him that will ruin a person's life.

"Daniel, you should finish the puzzle." Lux learned from his father's tone and said sternly with that little face.

Daniel felt a deep pressure: "Uh......"

He tried to put on the majesty of an adult: "But you should go to bed, Lukes, the puzzle will be tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow, you'll find another excuse." Lux pursed his lips and pointed out very directly.

He also retorted: "You are an adult, don't always lie to children. ”

'MD, it's a lot of pressure! ’

Daniel looked at the ceiling, "Are children so hard now?" TMD: That's a broken puzzle! Why the hell would I want to buy this thing for my kids to play with? ’

"Okay, I'll get it done. But, Lukes, will you go to sleep now? I promise, when you wake up, you'll find it whole. ”

Daniel thought of another way to fool him and said that when the child fell asleep anyway, a spell would do the trick.

"You lied to me, Daniel!"

Little Lux-Suspicious Qiē-Zemo showed an angry expression, and even his eyes turned red: "You must throw away the puzzle while I sleep." ”

"No, no, no, no! How could I possibly do that? Daniel, who made his son angry, suddenly became in a hurry: "Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll fight, can't I fight?" ”

"Then you fight quickly." Lux stared at him.

Daniel sat cross-legged on the carpet, holding the puzzle piece and looking left and right, not knowing where to put it.

"I'm really not good at this."

He muttered quietly in a voice that he could only hear, and felt that he wanted to cry too: "Who the hell invented the thing, a good picture, it has to be torn into pieces......"

Just as he was embarrassed, a small hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand.

The brown-eyed little angel gently took his hand and placed it in the upper right corner of the picture, "It should be placed here." ”

Daniel looked at him flatteredly.

Lux stood next to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'll help you, Daniel." I'm next to you, and we'll fight together. ”

The son is very caring and cute, and Daniel is also very touched, but this feeling of 'helping poor students' is really uncomfortable.

'How should I erect an image of my father's authority?' ’

was treated as a fool by his son, and taught him how to put the puzzle piece by piece together, Daniel had a confused expression throughout the whole process.

"Look, it's simple." Lux looked at the finished picture and said with a sense of accomplishment.

Then, he also taught Daniel as a young adult: "Do things from the beginning to the end, and when you encounter difficulties, you should not run away, but ......"

He stood up, waved his little hand forward, raised his chest high, and said like a general giving orders, "Conquer it." ”

"Did you think of it yourself?" Daniel asked in surprise.

"No, my dad taught me." Lux replied proudly.

Daniel felt the blow was even greater.

He tried to save his image, and whispered a defense: "Baby Lux, I'm not running away, I'm really just not good at ......"

"And what are you good at?" Lux asked reasonably, looking at him with big brown eyes and long eyelashes sparkling with curiosity.

"Uh...... Actually, I'm a wizard. Daniel replied solemnly.

The look of anticipation on Lukes' face disappeared immediately.

Something like: 'The adopter is mentally younger than me!' ''The adopter grew up watching Snow White'' The adopter has a delusion? ''Adopters are becoming more and more unreliable!'' Sentences like this began to swipe through his mind.

Eventually, he learned the helpless but unbearable expression of some teachers when they looked at poor students and said, "Well, it's good." ”

Children who don't have a lot of vocabulary can't think of more words.

He held back for a long time, and finally sincerely took the initiative to say: "Is it time for me to go to bed?" ”

Daniel didn't want to talk anymore.

However, Lukes was not lying at this time, he was indeed a little sleepy, because of the puzzle, which was already half an hour later than his usual bedtime.

He rubbed his eyes, and was soon carried by Daniel to his cot.

"Daniel......" he shouted sleepily.

"What's wrong, baby?"

"You're working hard...... You can do without ...... Not to pick me up from school. ”

Lux said in a daze, "I can ...... You can take the school bus home by yourself......"

Daniel's eyes heated, and he immediately forgot all about his behavior of 'embarrassing himself' just now.

'Why is this kid so caring?' He was very moved.

Then, he lowered his head and kissed Lux's forehead: "It's okay, for Lukes baby, I don't work hard at all!" ”

Lux soon fell into a deep sleep, and before he fell asleep, he was still thinking, 'Although the adopter is a little stupid, he is still very good to himself......

――――――――――――――――――――――

Daniel's side is warm and affectionate, and Tony Stark's progress is not very smooth.

Clint received a mission notice from Aegis, so he had to leave for a while and hurried over; Colonel Rhodes was asked by his superiors to report on the explosion, and he had to deal with it first; The twins had some training sessions that they didn't complete, and under the persuasion of the captain, they had to leave first.

Immediately after, after Daniel found a reason for the shit of 'I have a stomachache today, I'm going to see a doctor, so I'm not going to participate in everyone's discussion' after 'getting off work', Tony's expression has not been very good-looking.

"Does he not want to see me? Is he still angry? He complained to Natasha, "He's more careful than a woman." ”

"Has the woman offended you? What does this have to do with women? Natasha raised an eyebrow and asked, she knew about Daniel's early departure, and at this time, naturally helped to disturb Tony's thoughts.

"You know I don't mean that......"

Tony said angrily, "I've just come back, I'm in big trouble, I need help!" However, at this time, he actually left me, turned around and left. ”

"Aren't you alive and kicking right now? And you're the famous Iron Man! ”

Natasha deliberately said in his usual narcissistic tone, and then, smiling, "I'm sorry, I really don't see anything about you that you need help with." ”

Tony stared at her, his large, caramel eyes flashing with deep suspicion.

He spoke sharply: "Natasha, I always felt that you seemed to know something, and now, you are deliberately stunning me. ”

Natasha laughed, "Oh, so do you want to guess?" ”

"Don't make a fuss, let's get down to business!" The reliable captain promptly pulled back the topic that had gone wrong.

And, he earnestly explained to Daniel: "He probably has his own business, Tony, we should give our companions a little personal space." ”

"Alright, alright, damn private space." Tony replied unhappily.

He turned his attention back to business: "Where did I just go?" ”

"You said that Ms. Maya Hansen and a doctor named Killian worked together to develop and develop the Desperation Virus."

Falcon said from the side to help remind him.

"Actually, to be exact, most of the development and research is due to the Maya. However, Killian is more insane, he is better at playing with human beings, he even injected himself with the Desperate Virus, and later began to develop a career in terrorist attacks...... That's right, Killian was dead, and I thought that was the end of it. ”

Tony briefly recounted what happened at that time.

He said a little irritably, "But obviously, things have changed again. Some of the conspirators were not reconciled, they must have kidnapped Maya and forced her to hand over the information on the Desperate Virus, and if that thing was misused, it would be terrible......"

"I remember that." Natasha interjected, "Neither of us was in the country at the time, and Thor returned to the Divine Domain. I heard that guy named Killian has caused a lot of terrorist attacks and explosions in the United States, and he also blew up your house. In the end, you single-handedly killed him? ”

"Yes, don't worship me too much." Tony picked up this sentence very naturally.

Falcon and Natasha looked at each other, and both rolled their eyes at his narcissism.

Then, ignoring it, Tony continued to repeat, "I thought it would be over as soon as Killian died." But now it doesn't look like ...... Since Maya asked me for help before she died, and specially informed me that the Desperate Virus had been stolen, then someone must have forced and coerced her. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, pointed to his head with his index finger, and said with a heavy expression: "That group of villains, probably from her head, once again released the devil of desperate situation. ”

"Sorry to interrupt. Can you explain that desperate virus? ”

Steve raised his hand in confusion and asked, "After talking for a long time, I still don't know what it is." ”

"A bioelectric technology, or a biotech virus. When it is injected into the human body, it enters the repair center of the brain and recodes it, and then, the desperate virus completely upgrades the human DNA system to develop and control the neural potential, but there is one problem, I used to detect the telomerase algorithm ......"

Tony explained it at a rapid pace.

Then, as he was thinking, he habitually began to gush on some numbers, scientific theories, his own speculations and conjectures, and even some improvements.

It wasn't until he noticed Steve's more confused eyes that he stopped abruptly and asked a little impatiently, "Didn't understand?" ”

Steve smiled helplessly: "Maybe you can speak English." ”

Tony glanced at him with disgust, and said simply and directly: "A super soldier serum, unstable dìng, will explode." ”

"Thanks, that's clear to me." The captain replied with a sudden face and very politeness.

Then, he casually said, "I really don't understand why scientists always like to invent such things." ”

"Maya and I are friends, so she has similar points of view to mine."

Tony emphasized one sentence before replying, "She used to worry about her technology being misused by the bad guys, just like me. But this is the way this world is, if your idea has a little military use, you can use it to exchange money with the United States. Maya originally developed this thing just to get a little humanitarian funding for a group of poor children. ”

"But there's no doubt that there's always someone who's going to make things go bad and make your dreams bleed."

Steve was silent.

Halfway through, he said: "I really miss my time, when people's hearts were still very simple. Moreover, there are not so many terrible inventions of all kinds. Most importantly, I am the pinnacle of the development of science and technology in the whole era. ”
