Chapter 101 Draft for Comments
Eight o'clock in the morning, Belle's restaurant.
Belle hadn't gotten up yet, but Peter was able to brush his face through the strict security downstairs.
He got up early in the morning, packed a bunch of Cantonese morning tea refreshments from the Chinese restaurant in Flushing, brought them to Belle's house, carefully plated them, and set a table.
The envelope containing the chat log was placed next to the refreshers.
Helen drank her coffee, looked at Peter, who was admiring her masterpiece, and thought that this kid was really silly and cute.
She asked, "I said, what are you doing here?" Sign a divorce settlement? ”
Peter apparently didn't hear Helen hinting that he was doing something wrong, and thought she was joking.
So he also joked: "If she doesn't force me to notarize my property before marriage, I should seriously consider divorce." ”
"She's not going to force you," Helen affirmed, "and she has a lawyer to help with that." ”
"It doesn't matter," said Peter, "if you want to sign a divorce agreement, you have to get married first, right?" I'm still far from that. ”
"I know," said Helen, taking a plate of beef balls from the table, "I just want to tell you that you're not going to shorten the distance between you and that step." ”
"Uh-huh?" Peter's reaction slowed down, "What do you mean?" ”
"I mean, if you try to confess for a while, you're going to fail 100 percent."
Peter's faith today would not be easily swayed by Helen's words.
"I know I'm not very prepared, but she won't care about that, as long as she can understand my mind."
"She's known that," said Helen, "even if I've known you for a few days, I can see it." But just because she understands your mind doesn't mean she will dare to accept it, you know? ”
Peter asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Helen hesitated a little, carefully considered her words, and after a moment said, "I may not say this, but perhaps no one else can tell you but me, and I found it by accident." ”
"You see that she usually looks confident, as if she can settle everything, but when she is alone, she always seems worried. Just look at the speed at which she drinks, I don't know if she has any superpowers to relieve hangover, otherwise according to this drinking method, it won't take two years for her liver to go bad. ”
"She must have that kind of secret, which she can't tell anyone, and because of these secrets, she is under a lot of pressure. If she wants to accept you, she will have to face a choice, either hide it from you even if the pressure increases, or tell you and let you know her true side. ”
"Do you need to ask?" Peter couldn't help but exclaim, "That must be ......"
"No, no, no," Helen interrupted him directly, "it has nothing to do with what you think, it's her business." What you can do is give her some time, don't push her, and then, too, think about whether you're ready to face her for what she really is. ”
"I ......"
"Don't rush to conclusions," Helen directly reached out and gagged him, "Think about who she is, even she feels that the pressure is too much to bear, can you really accept it?" ”
When Belle walked into the dining room with her slippers on, just in time to hear the last sentence, Helen's hand was still on Peter's mouth.
"Accept what?" She asked curiously, "What are you two doing here?" ”
"He's so noisy," said Helen, "that you can't talk to him properly without gagging him, and by the way, he brought you breakfast, and came in straight in his shoes." ”
Peter looked down at his feet, and his hands and feet were instantly cold and adrenaline rushed. His canvas shoes were so dirty that they were horribly dirty.
He had been taught a lesson several times because of this. As a result, I have been thinking about his major events today, and I have forgotten about this stubble.
"Uh, I forgot to change my socks today, I'm afraid I'll ...... if I take off my shoes"
"Forget it," Belle quickly motioned for him to shut up, and used her superpowers to clean Peter's shoes again, "I just received a short notice that Stark asked us to go to the Avengers headquarters, saying that there is something important to discuss. Since you're here, let's go together, their plane is already on its way. ”
She went to the table again, picked a few of them, and ate her breakfast haphazardly, before she asked about the envelope.
"What is this?"
"I just wanted to explain to you what happened yesterday." Peter said, "Just look at it." ”
"What happened yesterday?" Belle didn't move the envelope, "Can't you just say it?" ”
"I'm just trying to prove to you that I have nothing to hide from you," said Peter, "and the hair you found yesterday, and the perfume you smelled, must have belonged to Felicia Hardy, who asked me to meet to discuss the group's work, and we talked for a while, and nothing else." ”
As soon as she heard the name, Belle felt that this matter was definitely not easy.
Felicia Hardy is not a passerby, but a well-known Marvel world-famous female snitch, anti-hero, and black cat.
As the name suggests, the Black Cat Man is mysterious, sexy, agile, and thoughtful, and is a powerful character who can go toe-toe with DC Catwoman, or even slightly better. What's more, she also has a mysterious power that brings bad luck to people, and she is a ruthless character that must not be underestimated.
What's worse is that in the main Marvel universe, Black Cat and Spider-Man have maintained a close and warm "friend" relationship for a long time. The intensity of this relationship is even far greater than that of Peter Parker and Mary Jane's official marriage, and only Cindy Munn, relying on the unique connection with Peter Parker who is endowed with the same spider's abilities, causes the two to be unable to hold themselves as soon as they meet, which can stabilize the black cat.
However, despite the fact that Black Cat and Spider-Man are on fire, the two eventually parted ways because of their disagreement, until they became enemies.
The reason is simple, Felicia Hardy doesn't like Peter Parker, it's just Spider-Man.
Therefore, now she took the initiative to tease Peter, or she came to tease with the knowledge that Peter had a heart, and it was no wonder that there was no problem.
Then it's even better to investigate.
"What's the explanation for doing a group assignment?" Belle looked as usual, she was already familiar with lying to Peter anyway, "Besides, I've heard about Felicia, and it's also strange and pitiful, she seems to be a little ostracized at school after the accident, wouldn't it be nice if you could help her." ”
Peter said, "I'm afraid you'll mind." ”
"What do I have to mind?"
"She, as if to me, had a little meaning," Peter said, and then immediately answered categorically, "but I explicitly rejected her. ”
"Why refuse people?" Belle felt that something was wrong, so she could only delay time by knowingly asking, and tried to forcibly change the focus of the topic, "Felicia is definitely a school flower-level beauty, aren't you so vulgar to reject her just because of those things?" ”
"Can you please stop messing around, I'm serious about telling you about this," Peter said a little angrily, "and you know what I mean." ”
Speaking of which, Belle would be a little overt if she denied it. But she didn't want to admit it, so she simply didn't say a word and buried herself in breakfast.
"To be honest, if you mind this, you can tell me directly, I'm quite happy, and you will mind to show that you care about me too. And then, in order to make you not mind, I am willing to do anything, and when you are happy, I will be happy, you know? ”
Helen quietly withdrew from the dining room, and looking at the gesture, Peter didn't heed her advice just now. In that case, she might as well leave quickly and let the two of them have a good talk.
"Well, since you say so, I admit, I do," said Belle, "but since I found out it was Felicia Hardy, I didn't mind. ”
"What are you talking about?" Peter asked, "You don't think that because something so unfortunate happened to her, you should give me to her?" ”
It's a refreshing idea, and Belle is a little shocked.
"If that's what you think, I can't help it." She said helplessly.
"Oh? So you're admitting it? Peter suddenly smiled smugly, "Who are you to give me to her?" ”
Belle gave him a blank look and said, "I just thought you were finally a little serious today, but you didn't hold on for even three minutes?" Don't be stupid, just say what you want to say. ”
Peter adjusted his breathing and steadied himself.
"I know I'm still very immature, but I'm trying to get better," he said, "and even though we've known each other for less than a year, we've been through more together than countless people have ever done in a lifetime, and we're best friends, and May sometimes says that I think you're our family." In this world, you are the one who knows me best, and I am also the one who knows you best, and between us, we can be more sincere and direct. I'm going to tell you about Felicia today, and you can do the same to me. ”
"You don't know me that well." Belle whispered.
"I'd love to know more about you, if you'd like."
Belle didn't answer.
Peter continued, "Don't be pressured, I don't want you to answer me right away, you can think about it as long as you want, but it's best to hurry up, after all, I only have a few decades to live." ”
Just when the air was suddenly quiet, a Kun fighter plane slowly appeared, hovering outside Belle's window.
"Let's get down to business, shall we?" Peter asked.
Belle didn't speak, but walked up to Peter, took his hand, and used the "space fold" to bring him into the cabin.
For the first time, she felt a little embarrassed to do this, which made her a little absent-minded, and she didn't even notice that it was actually Captain America, Steve Rogers, who was also in the cabin.
"There's no time for the two of you to fall in love." The captain said solemnly, and gestured with his eyes that Peter and Belle were still holding hands.
The two of them quickly let go of their hands.
"Captain, why are you here?" Peter asked, he didn't expect Captain America to pick them up in person, or rather, Belle.
The captain really didn't want to waste time, he said directly to Belle: "I know you have many friends in Washington, and I need you to use all the connections you can use, and I can't get Congress to approve this plan under any circumstances, and even if it can't be done, at least try to delay it." ”
The captain handed Belle a document hundreds of pages thick, the Sokovia Agreement (Draft for Solicitation of Comments).
Belle looked at the document and was a little not too calm, but since it was a draft for comments, there was always some room for maneuver. She's going to have to do some research.
"Captain, I've always respected you very much, but I can't just go and ask someone for help without reading it at all."
"This is not a request, this is an order," the captain said. ”
"I'm not a soldier, not even a full member of the Avengers, and I don't have to carry out your orders."
"Hey, this is Captain America," Peter whispered to Belle, "you can't even believe the captain, do you?" ”
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that this thing is strange in itself," Belle said, "Draft for comments?" Who do you ask? What comments are sought? Do we have the right to participate in the drafting and negotiation of this agreement? ”
"And what the hell is this?" Peter asked.
"Something that would make us all completely lose our freedom." Said the captain.
Belle took a quick look at the first few pages, and saw that the content was probably similar to the Sokovia Accord she remembered.
She asked very seriously, "Captain, does Mr. Stark agree with you as well?" ”
