Chapter Twenty-Three: We're Miserable, Really Miserable!

When it came time to get on the plane, Tony had been a little distracted.

The most direct manifestation is that after he boarded the plane, he actually sat directly next to Captain America, who had a completely different way of thinking from him and always had various conflicts and contradictions when he met.

Steve gave a look of surprise, and then, as if he had thought of something, his demeanor suddenly became serious.

He probably thought that Iron Man was going to use this short journey to have a thorough, friendly, serious communication with him, or something.

After all, two people, as the more powerful leaders in the team, if they quarrel every time to do things, it is really not conducive to completing the task.

Unfortunately, Tony apparently has little interest in communicating with an 'old antique'.

In his mind, there was no need to communicate at all, he simply thought, 'I can't talk to the captain, so it's better not to talk about it at all.'"

So, after realizing that he was sitting next to the captain who 'couldn't talk to him', he kept his head down and fiddled with his phone while waiting for the plane to take off, and his fingers swiped nimbly across the screen.

Occasionally, he spoke, also at Dr. Banner diagonally across from him. As soon as these two people opened their mouths, they were full of technical terms, such as wormholes, Einsta, quantum mechanics, etc., which did not look like human language at all.

Steve was helpless, he couldn't understand how that 'little toy' could be so fun.

Just as he was hesitating to take the initiative to speak, the text message prompt on his mobile phone sounded.

He then breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly looked down at the text message: [Honey, I'm \(^o^)/ back from a business trip!] ]

It's the lively 'little girl'.

The corners of Steve's unconscious lips turned up slightly.

In fact, he turned down all kinds of small dates introduced by Natasha many times, but this 'little girl' who had never met kept talking.

I don't know exactly why.

Probably the kind of chat atmosphere that is completely relaxed and stress-free!

In the eyes of this 'little girl', she is just an ordinary veteran who is trying to integrate into the modern society.

He has things that he is good at and things that he is not good at, just an ordinary person, not the national idol who symbolizes too many things and needs to take on all kinds of great responsibilities.

He then slowly put his finger on the screen and spelled out a sentence with concern: [Is the business trip going well?] ]

The speed of the 'little girl's text messages seemed to have accumulated a lot of things to say, and soon a series of text messages poured into his inbox:

[It's hard to put into words!] ]

[The boss of this new job is a duplicitous tsundere who tries to provoke a war every day.] ]

[As a specific example, colleague C has been chasing a mystery drama recently, one episode a day, and he is very satisfied with watching it. After being found out by the boss, he felt that it was too old-fashioned and troublesome to chase the drama like this, so he kindly bought a full set of discs for colleague C, which was nothing. The point is that when he gives it to others, he actually spoilers, spoilers!! It's probably the kind of tone that 'I really don't know what's so good about this kind of illogical reasoning drama, and when I watched the first episode, my colleague had a groggy look on his face, and I thought he really wanted to beat up the boss at that time. ]

[There is also colleague A, the boss is always critical of his aesthetics, saying that he is outdated and outdated, and always gives him fashionable and tight T-shirts, but colleague A probably thinks that the boss is mocking him, and he is angry to death every time, and accepts the T-shirt patiently, and says no need after thanking him.] However, the boss continued to go his own way as if he didn't understand. ]

[A colleague is really a very nice person, he is very reliable and tolerant, he is my role model and idol in life. But I feel that he has been forced to be haggard recently by the boss's various unplanned, unorganized, and casual styles that come out as soon as he wants. Whenever I saw his helpless expression, his beautiful blonde hair was dimmed, and I really wanted to rush over and give him a big loving hug......]

Steve couldn't help but laugh all of a sudden, but he always felt that this thing was a little familiar...... He remembered the dozen colorful short-sleeved T-shirts Tony had thrown at him last time, and suddenly understood the A colleague incredibly.

Probably people in the new era like to give each other clothes?

So, in this way, can you also understand that when Stark gave himself short sleeves, he was not laughing at his 'costume' or something, but expressing friendship?

It's still hard to understand!

Ignore these, though.

Although the 'little girl' is complaining, every time I see 'her' describe the relationship between colleagues, it is very interesting.

In 'her' text messages, although the tone is very disgusting, there is a very positive and happy mood between the lines, obviously I like everyone very much, even the 'boss whose style is obviously unpleasant' seems to have become cute in the description of 'her'.

He couldn't help but think back to his former team, the members of the 'Roaring Commandos'.

The members also had different personalities, but at that time, everyone was still very simple, so their views were still very consistent.

Unlike now, as long as you go to the Internet, there are too many □□ kinds of things, and all kinds of ideas and concepts are pouring in like a tide, making people overwhelmed......

In those boring military life, he was the one who was responsible for leading and inspiring everyone to fight;

Bucky, on the other hand, can always take everyone to have fun, such as taking everyone to steal the battery in the army commander's jeep, to start the projector to show everyone a black and white movie (although when he sees a Captain America movie, he will keep complaining), and can always get smuggled cigarettes, alcohol and poker......

So, every member of the team will respect themselves, but every member of the team will love Bucky.

Steve knew he shouldn't be like this, people always have to look forward, and they can't stay in memory forever.

He already has a new team, new teammates, a new life, new responsibilities and new challenges every day.

But human feelings are always difficult to control.

This is probably also because he did not gradually adapt to the status quo with the passage of time, but suddenly jumped over seventy years, so he left the sequelae of 'non-stop nostalgia'!

Thinking of this, he sighed slightly, but was still very happy that the 'little girl' on the other end of the text message had met a good team.

He then responded gently: [You have a great team, come on. ]

[Of course, I mean, I will.] ]

[I'll try to fit in with the team and get along with everyone!] ]

[Honey, the plane is about to take off, let's ^_^ get back and talk]

What a coincidence.

Steve looked up slightly, and found that the plane was about to take off.

He replied casually: [Okay, I wish you a smooth journey.] ]

After sending the text, he turned off his phone.

Then, I heard Hawkeye shouting behind him: "...... Don't even show a single photo? I thought we were friends. ”

He couldn't help but look back and see Daniel, the new member of the Avengers, with shining blue eyes, holding his phone in the seat behind him.

Hawkeye Clint was still tugging at Natasha and asked with unrelenting curiosity: "Nat, is Daniel's girlfriend really that pretty?" As for hiding it so tightly? ”

"Uh......" Natasha gave a rare look of complexity.

She swept over Steve with those beautiful eyes that seemed to be careless, and after a pause on his face for about three or four seconds, she replied with a sigh, "It's beautiful, but it's really not what you understand." ”

Hearing this, even Daniel raised his head.

Soon, though, he lowered his head again, pretending not to care. Because, although he thought in his heart that 'Stephanie is disabled and strong, she is always kind and gentle, and she is a good girl who is hard to find in the world'.

But this doesn't mean that he wants to expose the embarrassing fact that 'he hasn't seen each other and is purely online dating', so he lowered his head, but couldn't help but look at Natasha quietly and cautiously with his eyes.

Natasha just felt a headache.

Between the two options of hurting innocent children and stopping her old friend's overly curious curiosity, she resolutely chose the latter, directly punched Clint's head, and explained simply and rudely: "Shut up, Clint." Someone else's girlfriend, what do you care so much about? ”

Clint snorted and shut up completely.

Clint was fooled, though.

But Daniel's stupid appearance is really unbearable to tell the truth.

For the first time, Natasha felt that her shrewd self would actually do the stupid thing of 'lifting a stone and hitting her feet'......

She glanced at Clint who was pretending to cry out in pain in disgust, thinking that she must have been infected by the other party.

But even though it was difficult to tell the truth, she decided to go back and secretly explain the matter to Daniel.

Operate it in private like this, at least it won't make him feel too embarrassed...... Should......

For the rest of the day, Dr. Banner and Tony kept discussing in the aisle, using all kinds of technical terms that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Clint continues to chase his reasoning drama with the tablet, while Natasha makes a beauty mask and lies down to rest.

Steve, on the other hand, looked out the window at the clouds, not knowing what to think.

Daniel is probably the only one who is still working hard.

He is giving mission reports to the Security Council.

Although the government allowed the establishment of the Avengers, a 'non-governmental organization', they still put forward a request based on their fear of superheroes: the Avengers can adapt to the situation when doing the mission, but afterwards, they hope to provide a reasonable mission report to explain.

This mission report was originally headed by Tony.

But because of his uncontrollable mouth and casual style, it was a disaster movie that was released.

He soon succeeded in offending everyone in the Security Council.

So, the job fell on Natasha, who was a little flexible and had a shrewd and slick wrist.

But the red-haired female agent, although she knew these things in her heart, also hated this kind of copywriting work, and hated giving 'reasonable explanations' for those tasks, but she couldn't help it, so she reluctantly ghostwrote.

Until Daniel 'turned out'.

If it comes to the problem of combat, it is estimated that anyone in the Avengers can jump out and kill him in seconds.

But when it comes to this kind of copywriting work, how to show his skills quietly, how to avoid the important and light, and how to write unreasonable things reasonably, it is estimated that no one can compare to him.

After Natasha was lazy once in a while and asked him to help write a simple task summary, she fell to the ground in admiration for his 'nonsense' skills.

From then on, unless it was a confidential task, basically her mission report summary or something was handed over to Daniel to solve.

However, Majipur's mission this time is really very hard.

Even if Daniel writes it, it is a painful face.

The purpose of the mission was not achieved, because that superbug was a lie; fought a fight, although the enemy was defeated, but the culprit was not caught; During the fighting, a building and a dozen cars were blown up, but fortunately no civilians were injured......

So, in addition to coming to the conclusion that 'the Ten Commandments have bad intentions and want to kidnap Tony again and endanger world peace'.

Nothing has been accomplished.

Daniel was extremely depressed.

Superheroes are really hard to do.

There are no vacations for 365 days a year, and the salary is completely disproportionate to the effort (in fact, it is better to join S.H.I.E.L.D., such as a hard-working little spider, which seems to be completely voluntary labor), and overtime is a common thing, no one praises you if you do it well, and you will be scolded if you don't do it well.

'Alas......'

He sighed, and then began to report three truths and one falsehood.

"Superbugs are a hoax that led to Tony Stark", the report emphasizes Tony Stark's importance, such as the treasure of the country and the wealth of mankind, and the implication is that "the scientists that TMD criminals value very much, the government is not a little conscious?" ’

'Battles lead to losses', although the report is mainly based on data facts, but it is best to use words to indirectly exaggerate the enemy's abilities and increase the importance of superheroes, euphemistically suggesting that 'TMD does not have superheroes to turn the tide, and the earth will be finished that day'.

By the way, there are a few pieces of information that the government might or may want to know.

For example, the weapons on display at the Arms Expo, and the purchases of major terrorist organizations this year......

Finally, try to secure funding for the event.

Although, the boss Tony is not bad for money, the Avengers seems to be a self-financing private company......

But no, everyone is obviously working for the government, what to fight terrorists and maintain world peace, this should be the government's business!

What's more, it is simply unreasonable for the government to conduct random inspections and find trouble from time to time, and engage in things like safety hearings.

Since everyone is so aware of participation, it would be best to allocate more funds and subsidies...... Let's help the boss reduce the burden.

This group of superheroes are all selfless and selfless, and they would rather not be paid, but they have to fight desperately.

But that's not right!

Daniel's expression was solemn, his blue eyes were staring at the screen seriously, and his fingers were moving quickly on the keyboard, as if he was dealing with something big.

However, it is indeed a big deal.

Because he has made up his mind: he will devote his whole life to oppose this shameful behavior of 'pay for your labor and don't reap'.

We just want to cry poor, we just want to complain.

We are a non-governmental public welfare organization, we are a kind welfare organization, and we also need the support and help of the government!

We superheroes are not invincible, we live so hard, we can't afford pizza, we fight monsters hungry every day, we are miserable, really miserable!
