Chapter 40 'together' is nothing to be afraid of

If a person can't bear his responsibilities and mistakes and is crushed, he deserves it.

After hearing such a simple and crude statement, the Samoyed puppy squatted there in silence.

After a while, it suddenly looked up with a 'smile' and asked, "But have you ever thought of me, Jarvis, Colonel Rhodes, Miss Potts, or any other friend of yours?" ”

"What?" Tony turned his head, and those big brown eyes blinked innocently, "What does this have to do with you?" ”

"Because, we're all worried about you."

Jarvis's metallic voice sounded almost like a moan.

Then, the cute AI added, "Sir, Mr. Black is right. ”

The snow-white Samoyed puppy, with its small plush head, stared at him worriedly with blue eyes, but extremely intent.

"Daniel, you say that...... What a foul ......."

Tony whispered softly, and then, almost to himself, he said, "I feel like I don't want to let go of you more and more......"

As he spoke, his voice grew lower and lower, and finally, he fell silent again.

The Samoyed puppy shook his ears and pretended not to hear anything, still smiling like a cherub, and couldn't see anything else.

Halfway through, Tony regained his affection.

In that brisk tone, he teased, "Hey, dear, when are you going to change back?" Seriously, I don't want to kiss a dog. ”

The snow-white puppy jumped up and gave him a hard snort.

"Damn, I'm going to get a rabies shot!"

――――――――――――――――――――

Compared to Tony's overly arrogant attitude, Steve's over-honesty also broke Daniel's heart.

However, there are bad directions and good directions.

The bad direction is that Captain America apparently thinks that 'lying to the public' and 'hiding the truth from the public' are both immoral.

He believes that as a group, the Avengers should frankly admit their mistakes, and correct their mistakes so that they can continue to work for the peace of the planet in the future.

Some naïve, but indeed admirable integrity, selflessness, standard captain-like mindset.

The good direction is that this warrior who has been on the battlefield is undoubtedly more determined.

He was equally sad and uncomfortable about the events in Skovia, but he did not repeatedly question his actions because of the casualties caused by the fighting, as others do.

He was just as tired, but if there were other enemies in front of him, he would still get up immediately and continue to fight tirelessly, never hesitating.

Hawkeye and Black Widow's mentality is relatively normal.

These two battle-hardened agents have always been the most stable pair of factors in the team.

They can also be sad and guilty, but over the course of their long mission careers, they have learned to mediate, as well as to care for and comfort each other.

Dr. Banner tried to hide himself again.

Because after being manipulated last time, he almost made Hulk hurt innocent people, and his dissatisfaction with Wanda the Scarlet Witch reached its peak.

Even, after Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver admit their mistake, he still insists on opposing Scarlet Witch joining the Avengers.

When he learned that Nick Fury was about to go to England, he immediately decided to go along.

He was going to the famous Potions Master and study himself thoroughly, even if it was reduced to a test subject.

As long as the Hulk doesn't go berserk anymore.

He thought: let him do whatever he wants.

At the same time, Thor returned to the Divine Domain.

He seems to have seen something about the future of the gods in the illusion created by the Scarlet Witch, as well as ......

He thought his brother had died, the evil god Loki.

The day after he left, his girlfriend Jane called the Avengers Mansion because he didn't say goodbye.

(Solliu's, a front desk phone number given to him by Daniel)

Since the 'front desk' is currently working part-time as a 'pet dog', he is busy rolling in the arms of the goddess.

So, passing by here occasionally, with nothing to do, Tony, who heard the phone, casually picked up the call.

When he heard a girl ask, 'Excuse me, is Thor there?' ' time.

He still didn't understand the situation.

So, in his usual casual and flirtatious tone, he replied, "Looking for Thor?" Hey, that stupid big guy is quite a woman, which girl are you? Blonde, or brunette? Oooh, must it be the last time we met at the bar with C-cup green eyes? ”

Jane was stunned for a second, then hung up the phone in shame.

Tony muttered to himself in confusion, "What's going on all these years?" There are even girls...... Will you hang up Iron Man's phone? ”

――――――――――――――――

In the blink of an eye, the Avengers Mansion was empty.

The Skovia incident is also being gradually diluted.

Although it is too cold to say so.

But in fact, for the U.S. government, the destruction of a small Eastern European country is far less important than the question of whether superhero abilities are controllable.

They are fanning panic among the populace more to put pressure on the Avengers to try to make superheroes work for the government.

This is certainly impossible, and none of the Avengers will agree.

So, the forgetful populace is easy to solve.

But more often than not, there is a long tug-of-war with the government.

Tony continued to die, and the captain unconsciously mended the knife from time to time.

But Daniel managed to gain some initiative.

He cooperated with Jarvis tacitly on the Internet, guiding some of the correct remarks.

Because the captain insisted that he could not lie to the people, he could only change the way to guide some people to evaluate superheroes from a fair standpoint.

Instead of deifying and perfecting heroes, let the people understand that heroes will make mistakes, but they will also correct them, they will protect everyone, but they will also be hurt by everyone.

Maybe it would be better. Daniel thought: 'There will always be sane and sober people who can see the hard work of superheroes.' ’

And, from Tony's attitude, he finally figured out a truth: don't force everyone to like superheroes.

If your starting point is to please people, then you have to be prepared to compromise on anything at any time.

Then, this will get you nowhere.

At the same time, he and the government are constantly negotiating and negotiating to reduce the sense of unease that superheroes' abilities bring to the group of politicians.

These chores took him a lot of energy and body.

For the umpteenth time, Natasha picked up the sleeping white Samoyed puppy from the keyboard.

However, Samoyeds are really smiling in their sleep, and they are really hard.

This red-haired female agent, who is tough on the surface but gentle on the inside, finally couldn't stand it anymore in the face of the 'smiling' sleeping puppy, feeling that the Avengers were collectively abusing small animals.

(So, it is estimated that if she is an adult, she will not be so distressed)

One day, she bluntly addressed the main leaders of the team, Iron Man and Captain America, and said with a strong attitude: "If you can't help, don't make a mess!" In the face of the media, shut up and don't speak, you can always do it, right? ”

Steve was embarrassed for a second, then nodded in agreement.

Tony took over the sleeping Samoyed.

He curiously poked the puppy's belly with his fingers, a fluffy ball, with four legs like a human, lying on his back, probably because he was too tired, the snow-white little belly fell together, and made a small purr, and the tail wagged.

"Interesting, I don't really have a pet other than Dummy." He muttered quietly.

Then, he continued to answer the question: "I think he is so tired, he must be lacking in nutrition!" This body type is in the growth season! But...... Why didn't he eat a single bite of the most expensive boxes of canned nutritious dog food I ordered? ”

Natasha rolled her eyes, finally understanding why Daniel had been ranting so fiercely when he saw Tony recently.

――――――――――――――

Time flies, and nearly a week has passed when the twins, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, officially joined the Avengers and began to settle in the Avengers Building.

As soon as the twins entered the building, they saw the famous 'arms dealer (formerly)' Tony Stark, with a white Samoyed on his head, directing the cleaning machine to move back and forth in the Avengers Building.

"Pietro, look, it's the puppy." Wanda whispered in surprise to Quicksilver.

Quicksilver smiled indulgently at the Scarlet Witch, and without hesitation, he immediately used his ability and ran over as if he were teleporting.

In the blink of an eye, he snatched the Samoyed puppy back and stuffed it into the Red Witch's hand again: "Oh, here you go." ”

"Boy, didn't the adults in your family teach you manners?"

Although he always felt that Samoyed had to lie on his head, he was a little uncomfortable, but he was snatched away directly, and Tony was still a little angry.

"Nope." Pietro replied harshly: "Because they were blown away by Stark's bomb." ”

He said so unceremoniously as he reached out and tried to touch the snow-white puppy's head.

"Whew!" Bitten again, he shouted with an unhappy face: "Whatthe**!! Why does this dog always like to bite me. ”

However, Wanda rubbed her head against Samoyed's soft fur and smiled happily, "Don't worry about the animals, Pietro." ”

It's been many years since I've seen Pietro, who has seen Wanda smile so simply, so I had to endure it silently.

Then, he watched the white Samoyed quickly occupy Wanda's arms, and the 'smiling' hairy face was affectionately clinging to Wanda's chest, and he felt strange and wrong for a while.

The next moment, the dog was carried in the air by a very strong arm.

"Daniel, you be a little more restrained, don't really think of yourself as a dog."

"Also, didn't you say that you can change back in three or four days, why can't it take so long? Nothing could go wrong, right? ”

Steve stepped out from behind the twins, asked with concern, and pulled the Samoyed puppy out of Wanda's arms.

"It's the first time I've had this kind of failure, and the estimated time is not accurate, but it should be in the near future!"

The Samoyed wagged its tail and replied with a smile on his face.

"Hold on, you can't go on like this." Steve said.

He threw an apologetic look at the Scarlet Witch as he reluctantly picked up the puppy and stuffed it back to Tony.

Then, the upright captain vaguely reminded the Red Witch: "Wanda, don't be so close, he's a boy." ”

"Uh......" The Red Witch apparently couldn't quite understand what the captain meant.

She looked at the fluffy little creature with blank eyes, but out of trust in the captain, she nodded hesitantly.

The snow-white Samoyed was in Tony's arms, winking humanely: "Wang (old-fashioned!)" ）”

The twins, though they knew that the dog also seemed to be a member of the Avengers, seemed to have become that way because of some magical accident.

But when it comes to seeing a cute puppy as a grown man, obviously, they don't have that much imagination yet.

"Pietro, don't always abuse your abilities either."

After warning Daniel, the captain warns Quicksilver again.

"It's like opening a kindergarten, saying this, and having to say that."

Natasha commented.

The beautiful red-haired female agent and Clint stepped out of the elevator together.

She smiled and said to everyone, "Welcome, Pietro, welcome, Wanda, welcome to the Avengers." ”

The Phantom World appeared through the wall from a certain room, and in a somewhat stiff tone, learned to greet everyone and said, "Hello, I am the Phantom World, and I am about to join the Avengers." ”

Steve smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Welcome." ”

"We have a lot of new members this time, and the Falcon and the War Plane will be there in the afternoon."

Jarvis's voice sounded: "Captain, have you read the article I sorted out?" ”

"It's not time yet." Steve looked apologetically at Samoyed's beautiful blue eyes: "Daniel, I'm sorry, I forgot to use my computer to check my email regularly." ”

"It's okay, just remember to go back and have a look."

The Samoyed puppy is quite considerate of the American team's lack of computer skills, and remembering the last time he saw Steve slowly poking his two fingers at the keyboard typing, he didn't have a temper.

Wagging his tail again, he continued to let Jarvis play the role of translator: "Because of the events in Skovia, and the fact that the Hulk almost went on a rampage in Johannesburg......"

Everyone's expressions became solemn.

"I feel like even though we're superheroes, we still need some self-restraint."

The Samoyed puppy habitually looked around with blue eyes, and unconsciously bent its tail into a C-shape: "In the letter I sent to the captain, I noted several rules and regulations I made for the Avengers. If the captain and everyone agrees, I want to do so. ”

"Among them, I think the most important one is that all new members of the Avengers must be allowed to go on a mission only after they have 'full control over their abilities, make sure they don't get out of control, cause harm, and have the permission of the old members'."

"I don't want to see any rampage again, or even a situation where 'because of the loss of control, superheroes are even more dangerous than criminals'."

The Samoyed puppy tilted his head and continued to translate with Jarvis, praising his idol and saying, "In this regard, the captain has done a very good job. In fact, I have made a preliminary count of all your current battles, and the captain's control is very subtle, even if he smashes a car or throws a motorcycle, he will be careful not to hurt passers-by......"

When talking about 'smashing cars and throwing motorcycles', Steve covered his face with his hands in embarrassment.

Tony laughed straight and unscrupulous.

“…… In short, I hope that you can make good use of your abilities, instead of competing with criminals and terrorists for the throne of 'who destroys the most'. ”

"Our purpose is to protect people, not to increase harm."

"You're right, Daniel."

Steve said gently, "I'm so glad I'm here." ”

The Samoyed opened its mouth with a 'laughing' expression.

Of course, this time it was probably sincere.

After going through what Skovia was so tired of, and the troublesome aftermath, recently, he can finally relax a little "Wang" a few times.

The faithful artificial intelligence Jarvis translated synchronously: "Don't mention those boring things, in order to celebrate the arrival of new members." Let's have a party and relax! ”

Tony immediately responded enthusiastically to 'it': "Okay, hooray! Banzai! I've been craving a Spanish grilled black pork chop lately, would you like to give it a try? We can ask them to have it delivered or we can go to their store to eat! ”

The painting style changed too fast, and Steve was stunned for a moment, and then nodded helplessly.

Although the twins couldn't figure out the situation, they couldn't help but laugh involuntarily by everyone.

Daniel, who is still in the form of a Samoyed puppy, has the hairy face of a 'smiling angel' from beginning to end, and looks at everyone very happily.

Yes, there are still many things that have not been resolved; Indeed, there are still many hardships and crises to be faced.

But these can be explored little by little and slowly.

As long as the captain said: together, there's nothing to be afraid of.
