Chapter 1: The first day of job hunting

Daniel followed Hawkeye and arrived safely in New York after flying in the tattered little plane that had barely been sewn with duct tape.

After dropping the plane at a secret stronghold in Aegis, Clint took him to a temporary shelter with ease.

Daniel looked at the temporary residence, and the evaluation that came to his mind was only three words: cramped, dilapidated, and dilapidated house!

"That's not true." Daniel feels like he's been deceived.

He was thinking all the way, "That's not true, Clint, you know what? This bitter and hateful agent model is no longer in vogue, and everyone prefers the handsome and dashing, spendthrift type of agent. ”

"Watch less TV." Clint glanced at him speechlessly, "When you have a lot of money, remember to take me with you." ”。

"I'm starting to regret it......" Daniel said pitifully.

"It's too late to regret it." Clint said lightly.

The next day, when he receives a call from Stark Industries for an interview, Daniel is grabbing a pizza with Hawkeye.

"I'm a civilian! Civilian! You are a high-ranking agent who is fighting on the front line, and TMD can't let me! Daniel yelled angrily.

He was wearing the big T-shirt with Iron Man's face on it, which was used as pajamas, and his hair was messed up like a bird's nest, leaning out of the bed for the most part, waving his hands, trying to pull the last piece of pizza over.

"Don't think about it!" Clint Barton pulled the pizza box over with a firm attitude, "I've already shared a piece with you, and if you want to eat it, I'll buy it myself!" The rest is mine, mine. ”

Daniel blinked his blue eyes and tried to play pathetic.

However, Clint neatly took out his sunglasses from his pocket and put them on the bridge of his nose, pretending not to see.

If he wasn't chewing on a large piece of pizza in his mouth right now, he would have looked pretty cold.

Daniel had no choice but to lie on his back on the bed.

He touched his stomach and felt that he had only eaten such a small piece of pizza, and he was not full at all, so he couldn't help but complain: "Damn, is this the level of food in S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”

Clint's eyes behind his sunglasses drifted for a moment.

He didn't want to sue the other party at all, and he used some of the money to buy lottery tickets...... Although it is a bit irrational to do this, if he wins the lottery, he will have the money to buy a full set of 'Dog Detectives' to watch every day.

"I remember you weren't very rich? A well-known Mr. Magician? ”

Clint pretended to be casual and began to change the subject.

Daniel, who had never had much training as an agent, easily followed him, "Yes, that's right, I have a little deposit. ”

He replied quite frankly: "But I have to save it, now I am an unemployed young man who has no income." I wanted to mess with you, but how did I know that Fury was so pitiful, and the funds for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mission were so small? ”

"Actually, it's okay......"

Although he very much wanted to put the black pot on the body of a certain bald director, Clint hesitated, but his conscience prevailed, explained, and said without any weakness by the way: "The main thing is this mission, there are more places to use money." ”

Daniel was immediately convinced.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mission is certainly not as simple as that.

He didn't bother to ask about the content of the task, but he only ate a piece of pizza, and he was really hungry!

Just as he was hesitating whether to use his savings and order a takeout by himself, Stark Industries' call to inform him of the interview finally came.

"Wait! When I succeed in the interview, I'll send you a box of pizza! ”

Before going to the interview, Daniel said to Clint in high spirits, and asked by the way: "The director should have all been arranged, right?" Am I just going to go through the motions? ”

“…… Presumably. For the sake of a box of pizza, Clint is also looking forward to his successful application.

But for going through the back door or something......

Clint looked at the ceiling silently, he didn't think that one-eyed man would be so good to his subordinates.

――――――――――――――――――――

"Harvard, Yale, or MIT?"

"What?"

"The school you graduated from?"

"Uh...... Community College Bar ......"

"What is the major?"

"Demon Alchemy...... No, no, haha, I'm kidding, it's actually drawing, painting professional! ”

Then, the room was silent.

Their look of surprise was a clear indication of the words, 'Are you in the wrong place?' Art Department looking for a job at Stark Industries? Can you actually get the interview? ’

Daniel is also embarrassed, although the profession is casual nonsense, nothing to be embarrassed about.

However, staying in a house with a group of men and women in suits and leather shoes, who looked very elite, but who obviously did not have the same aura as him, looked out of place and like a fool.

'What about going through the back door?' What about the good black box operation? What if you say it's okay to go through the form? ’

'Nick Fury, you bastard! ’

'What kind of interview are you really doing...... The most important thing is that I don't even know what position I am interviewing for! ’

Daniel wanted to cry without tears.

However, he was optimistic by nature, and even though he was already crying tears in his heart, he still smiled reluctantly at the crowd on his face.

Maybe it's because he's too uncompetitive, but as a fellow applicant, he actually got a lot of friendly eyes.

When it was his turn to be interviewed, the interviewer sitting in the middle suddenly stood up in surprise: "You...... You're not that ...... What kind of magician who disappeared for a long time... Daniel Black? ”

"Ah, it's me."

Daniel looked up and tried to give a big smile to the three interviewers, trying to brush his impression score with his face.

"Can you sign me?" The interviewer said excitedly, "My daughter likes the magic trick you make, the one who turns into a rabbit...... Can you really catch a rabbit out of a hat? ”

"Uh......" Daniel's eyes widened, he never thought that Stark Industries would have its own fans, what an exciting thing.

He immediately said, "No problem, no problem!" Do you want to watch it now? I'll be able to turn you into a rabbit right now. ”

"This ...... Don't ...... it yet" Before the interviewer could say anything, he saw that this strange candidate really grabbed a pink rabbit from his suit pocket......

"Ohmygod!

The other two interviewers were also shocked by him:

"It's amazing, I mean...... That's amazing! ”

"How did you hide a rabbit on your body? There's no place for you to hide anything, huh? This is not scientific! ”

'Wizards are inherently unscientific creatures. ’

Daniel was smug in his heart, he curled the corners of his lips, feeling that he was back in familiar territory again, standing there with his chest held high, and said with great pride and reserve: "Actually, I can change some other ......"

Then, he blinked his beautiful blue eyes, showed a hint of a smile and said, "Do you like cats?" ”

"Like, like, change a look." The female interviewer sitting on the far left was the first to respond.

The two gentlemen next to her also smiled, and did not seem to object.

Daniel clapped his hands, and as soon as he looked down, he grabbed a big yellow cat from his trouser pocket, and the cat meowed, looking unpleasantly disturbed from sleep.

"It's so cute!"

"It's amazing!"

"One more!"

The interviewers' eyes lit up and they applauded.

Daniel was encouraged.

He snapped his fingers casually, and a bouquet of roses appeared! Clapping your hands again, there will be a bunch of butterflies fluttering in the room......

Then, after a minute of back and forth, Daniel felt like his magic was running out......

He is different from other wizards, because there are two powers in his body, he usually does not dare to use one power too wantonly, so as not to upset the balance in his body.

So, as soon as he felt wrong, he stopped neatly.

Then, happily, expectantly, and apprehensively, he asked, "Did I pass the interview?" ”

The three interviewers fell silent for a moment.

They looked at each other and said, "The magic is wonderful, it's magical, we love it!" However, we're hiring a mechanical engineer, sorry. ”

――――――――――――――――――

'You guys! TMD！ Just now! It's all there! Trick me??!! ’

'This cheating America! S.H.I.E.L.D. of the cheating daddy! Nick Fury! Hawkeye of the pit daddy! Stark! Interviewer for cheating daddy! ’

Squatting at the bottom of the Stark Industrial Building, Daniel deeply felt the malice of the big universe!

If he went back like this, he would have been laughed at by Clint to death. He thought indignantly, 'Nick Fury, this liar!' S.H.I.E.L.D. is a crook agency! ’

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, when he felt a gust of wind blow overhead, and then a shadow just happened to cover him.

"Are fans so crazy these days?"

A nonchalant voice suddenly sounded overhead, "When Nick Fury came to me, I didn't believe ......"

Daniel looked up and saw Iron Man falling from the sky wearing the golden-red armor of Nasau/bag.

At the same time, Tony Stark's characteristic under-beating voice came from the armor: "He sued me that you had transferred all the British property to your cousin......"

"Uh...... True, but that's ......"

Daniel stood up, about to explain, but the latter sentence 'It was his inheritance' was not finished.

I heard the other party already reciting lyrically: "...... gave up a lot of money and power, just to come to the United States, enter Stark Industries, and work as a small clerk, just to get closer to the idol...... You've really touched me. ”

Daniel blinked his blue eyes, a little confused.

"Your spirit of chasing stars is indeed commendable! Give up a qiē or something for love...... By the way, what's your name? Forget it, it doesn't matter! ”

Tony Stark continued to triumphantly narcissist, "Baby, I had to hit you a bit. Everyone loves Stark, and Stark is indeed amazingly charming, but Stark only loves beautiful girls, so there is no hope for you in this life! ”

Daniel felt the blood vessels in his forehead pound suddenly.

He stood up and grinded his teeth and retorted, "Don't tease, I have a girlfriend." ”

"Isn't it a boyfriend?" Tony's voice was full of surprise, "I remember the last time I was in London, I also helped you get a light, and you even kissed in public...... Hey, you changed your mind so quickly, and by the way, you even changed your sexual orientation? Can't see that you're actually this kind of person? ”

"Can you please stop talking to yourself!"

Daniel's blue eyes widened angrily, and he made a big cross on his chest with both hands, and solemnly declared, "Don't spread my rumors and ruin my reputation, Stark." I now have a girlfriend who wants to get married, I am very, very serious, and she is introverted and kind, blonde and blue-eyed, and she is the best girl in the world! I want to have a beautiful journey of dating, falling in love, getting married, and having a baby! Refuse any destruction! ”

"Married? Having a baby? Tony Stark raised an eyebrow under the mask and said in a tone of disbelief, "You're not yet thirty, kid." ”

"A man's maturity does not depend on his age, but on whether he can afford a family." Daniel said proudly: "I have absolutely no problem, I will give my girlfriend a warm home and give birth to the most beautiful baby!" Then, we will be a happy family of three. ”

"A happy family of three? It's enviable. Tony said in a tone that didn't hear any emotion.

He was silent for a while, and suddenly asked very annoyingly: "But what do you use to bear the family?" You're not...... Have you just failed an interview and are you still unemployed? ”
