At the end of September 2008, Eagle Sauce Country Washington Mansion, S.H.I.E.L.D. Sanquyi Building Headquarters.

Xiao Yuebai sat on the balcony outside the office, lying on a recliner, closing his eyes and feeling the afternoon sun.

His own queen returned to Switzerland at the beginning of the month, although the relationship between the couple has always been very good, but occasionally when the daughter-in-law is not around, Xiao Yuebai also feels that it feels good that he doesn't have to think too much at this time.

Last month, Howard still didn't make it through, and he and his wife Mary left this world just two hours apart.

The husband and wife died of natural causes, having not suffered any illness before they died, and thinking back to the words of their old friend, he should be the only person in his memory who can be called the achievement of a perfect life.

Although when everyone got together at the beginning, after hearing that Howard refused the temptation of immortality, he once said that he would not let himself and others attend the funeral.

But that's just a joke, Xiao Yuebai took Keisha and Hexi, who came from Switzerland, as well as Steve, Peggy, and Bucky still attended the funeral of an old friend.

Maybe subconsciously they have become accustomed to the ability to live forever, so several people never thought that they would face this day.

Until everyone wore black formal clothes together, looking at the old friends who still had the remains of the smile on the corners of their mouths, they couldn't help but sigh for a long time.

The crowd was not too sad, because Howard had chosen this ending himself, and he had no regrets, and for the crowd who had been friends with each other for decades, they had just lost someone who could listen to them forever.

After everyone helped Tony finish the funeral, when they returned to Washington, the pain was erased by time.

Life has to go on, especially for these people, the world needs to protect itself, and they have to put in the next work.

In the morning, he had just gotten a batch of materials for the research needed for the Swiss Academy of Truth, and Xiao Yuebai took advantage of the good afternoon sunshine to go outside to lie down.

"Boom!"

Xiao Yuebai, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, heard the knock on the door of his office, and he didn't have any extra expression, just lazily said "Please come in".

When the sound of opening the door passed for a while, Xiao Yuebai heard a ridicule from the opposite side:

"Sir, the staff of the bureau are busy with their work, but you are here in the sun, if you let them know that you are like this, okay?"

"As the old Chinese saying goes, 'Those who are able work hard, and those who work hard.'" Apparently I'm the kind of person who thinks with my brain! Maybe I'm thinking about something big at this time! ”

After finishing speaking, he pried open his eyelids slightly, and saw the black braised egg sitting opposite him, Xiao Yuebai's mouth teased and said: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, now that you have become a level 10 agent and a level 33 official, how do you feel about being promoted?" ”

Furui shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and then said to Xiao Yuebai very calmly: "I don't have any feelings, do you want me to give you a whisker?" ”

"I'm not against it!" Xiao Yuebai, who was lying there, closed his eyes again and said teasingly:

"After all, I brought you in in the first place, and now that you have proven your strength, there is nothing wrong with patting my ass! But that's not your main purpose, right? Just say what you want! ”

Fury nodded and said, "Sir, Agent Coulson was protecting Tony before. Mr. Stark, he discovered something while helping him through the Stark transition. ”

"Our playboy seems to have developed something very good, and it is extremely military value, and I think he may get into trouble for some time to come!"

This kind of thing can't be solved, and as a descendant of one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury has no right to investigate what Tony is doing.

Coupled with Tony's perverse personality now, even if Fury gets the permission of Xiao Yuebai and Peggy, he still can't investigate anything.

He had to come over and tell himself or Peggy what had happened, and the two of them would have to rely on their relationship with Tony to find out what Tony had done before.

And Xiao Yuebai was hearing Tony. After Stark's name, Xiao Yuebai suddenly sat up from the recliner, and then thought about it carefully to know the general situation of the matter.

But after thinking about it carefully, he found that he had changed a lot of the plot in the original MCU universe, and he didn't know how far Tony's troublesome nephew's armor would go now.

So under Fury's gaze, he always nodded and said to the boiled egg, "Okay, I see." You don't have to worry about Tony's business, I'll go there once in the next two days, and I'll talk about it then! ”

After telling Furui a few more things, he drove the boiled egg away, and watching him disappear in front of his eyes, Xiao Yuebai laughed out loud.

Why did this black braised egg come to tell himself about Tony today, Xiao Yuebai of course understood that he was being used as a gun.

It should be Coulson who knows some things and tells these incomplete things to the boiled egg, and the boiled egg is because he really can't do anything to Tony, so he finds himself and hopes that he will come forward in person.

But... It doesn't matter, although Tony's kid has not been kidnapped by terrorist militants, he still developed the Iron Man armor, which is enough to be curious to see.

So after thinking about it, he immediately got up from the recliner, walked out of the office, and went directly to the door of Peggy's office, and went in without knocking.

Peggy was looking at the computer screen, and when she saw her friend come in and sit across from her, the female agent smiled and asked, "Fury went to look for you just now?" ”

"Tony, he told you too?" Xiao Yuebai leaned forward on the table and asked Peggy curiously.

"Uh-huh!" The female agent left the keyboard with both hands, and said to Boss Xiao with a long breath: "This kid has too many scheming, and he has to play tricks with us." ”

"But it's no wonder that after all, he is a military agent, who has experienced a long time on the battlefield, coupled with the deceit of the front-line agents in the past few years, he instinctively doesn't trust everyone except himself."

Xiao Yuebai couldn't help but nod in agreement when he heard this, but thinking of Howard's child, Big Boss Xiao still said to Peggy seriously:

"Don't talk about him now, or how is Tony's kid going to deal with it? I felt that Fury's expression was serious, and it was supposed that Tony had developed something amazing. ”

"I know a little bit about it, but Tony has been exposed to the things under the building, and I can't predict how powerful that thing can be."

Peggy's face became entangled when she heard this, and she thought for a while and said, "It looks like you're going to New York with me for the next two days." ”

"It's just that the child's personality is even more perverse than his father's youth, shall we call Hexi from Switzerland?"

As soon as Xiao Yuebai heard that Peggy wanted to dispatch Miss Hexi, this was a bit too exaggerated, right? So he hurriedly said, "Probably not!" Let's take a look, I'm afraid it's too much. If it really doesn't work, let Hexi come forward again. ”

After carefully weighing it, Peggy agreed with Xiao Yuebai's idea, and then looked at his daily table next to him for a while before saying:

"Well, I'll be fine the day after tomorrow. Let's go there then! ”

"Okay!"
