Regarding the Yaka metal, Fitz and Simmons are leading a small team to step up their research. Regarding Hydra's follow-up plan, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s expert team is also doing their best to investigate. As for Director Baker and Mrs. Gucci, ha, no one paid any attention to them at all. Compared to Hydra, these are two earthworms, and it is impossible to attract the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. Just leave it to the district attorney.

Things are over in Miami for the time being, but Peter and Belle have a few days left on their vacation. They were not in a hurry to return to Washington, but to New York, which they had not seen for a long time. Peter couldn't wait to go back to see his dear May, and made an appointment with Belle to finish dinner the night after to-morrow. Belle returns to the Avengers Mansion because her phone is filled with various whining text messages from Vanessa.

However, when she arrived at the Avengers Tower, the scene she saw was still very different from what she had imagined.

In the ring, Natasha Romanoff singled out Sharon Carter and Vanessa Carlisle, and Pepper Potz stood to the side, in front of the audience with great interest, and greeted Belle happily when she saw her coming.

"What's going on?"

"Girlfriends party." Pepper said, "We'll get together when you're not around." ”

Belle looked at Vanessa, who was screaming in the ring, Sharon, who was obviously paddling, and Natasha, who didn't give her all out at all, and played Vanessa like a child, and Pepper, who was watching the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, she suspected that she didn't understand what she just said, so she asked again: "What's going on?" ”

Pepper reluctantly explained, "Vanessa said she wanted to learn both hands, and that's it. ”

"Well, at least she found the right person to teach her." Belle said, then saw Vanessa being kicked mercilessly.

That night, the five of them found a place to get together for a drink.

When it comes to having a drink, Vanessa undoubtedly has the highest say among the five people. After all, she was the one who loved to drink the most and frequented pubs, not to mention that she had worked in a club in Boston that was not easy to talk about, but in short, she knew a lot about bars and other places.

However, the final decision is in Pepper's hands, because she is the financier of the five, and economic status determines political status. With her identity, she must not be able to find a messy nightclub, otherwise she will be found to be engaged in conspiracy theories, and maybe the stock price of Stark Group will be affected. What matters most to her is privacy and security. So the place she picked was the one she often went to.

When she arrived, Belle realized that she had just become the club's largest shareholder yesterday. Belle's assessment of the incident was, "It's not a surprise. ”

But when Pepper brushed her face directly into the door, she found that this place seemed to have a very close connection with the Stark Group. There are few places in the United States where the CEO of Stark Group is willing to brush his face.

When the wine was served, the waiter exited the door, and the few people who had pretended to be dignified and sitting in a precarious position were deflated in an instant and collapsed into the sofa.

Pepper was the first to speak: "I slept for about ten hours last week, and I was in meetings every day, and I was so tired. ”

Sharon continued: "S.H.I.E.L.D. has been cleaning up the Hydra mess all over the world lately, and the in New York is endless, and the Hydra Mansion you broke into last time didn't completely evacuate until the day before yesterday. ”

Belle said: "I finally took a few days off, and I also ran into a Hydra collusion smuggling syndicate, and even a local umbrella, so the good vacation was also lost." ”

Natasha said very lightly, "I went to Chechnya." ”

Several people looked at her for a few seconds, and they all thought that she couldn't talk nonsense, so they didn't ask, and finally everyone's eyes were focused on Vanessa.

"I've watched the entire 'Smallville' episode twice." Vanessa said without embarrassment, but she noticed that the other four were all looking at her with a beep Chihuahua expression, and continued, "What else can I do?" You all look like Superman, I can't do anything, should I go back to my old job? ”

Natasha said helplessly: "The real Superman doesn't know where he is now. ”

Apparently she was talking about the disappearance of the Hulk. This sentence also smoothly shifted the subject, from complaining about the bad daily life to complaining about how the other half made the already very bad daily life worse.

"He's always going to find him, Tony, they're all trying to figure it out." Pepper comforts her, "But you'll still be annoyed when you find him, because Dr. Banner and Tony don't care about you at all other than tinkering with dangerous inventions." Messing around all day long, there is no time when I come back without any injuries on my body. ”

"I've long been used to this, anyway, Wade is covered in scars, and I can't see it if I add another ten thousand." Vanessa said, "But Captain America is often injured, so why doesn't that face have any scars at all?" ”

Sharon said, "Maybe it's because his shield is easier to use, right?" ”

"How is it possible, Tony's whole body is wrapped in an iron shell, doesn't he often come back with a blue nose and swollen face?" Pepper said, not telling if he was worried or complaining.

After a few people chatted for a while, they suddenly realized that Belle was completely uninvolved in the discussion of the topic.

Compared to their god-like boyfriends, these girls are absolute scumbags, even if Black Widow is the strongest agent in the history of S.H.I.E.L.D., compared to Dr. Banner's strongest brain and Hulk's anti-heaven combat power, it really can't be on the stage.

Belle, on the other hand, is stronger than Peter, and much stronger.

"What do you want me to do?" Belle said innocently, "I'm still single." ”

"I propose that we give poor Peter a drink." Pepper said.

The others chimed in and raised their glasses, and looked at the indifferent Belle condemningly as if they were standing on the moral high ground.

"All right, good boys, poor Peter." Belle reluctantly picked up her glass and said, "I said, instead of thinking about poor Peter, let's think about how to help Vanessa get rid of her troubles, right?" Is it just for her to be abused by Natasha when she has nothing to do now? ”

"I didn't abuse her, it's not far from the intensity of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s training." Natasha said, looking unconcerned. In her eyes, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s training is still far from her days in the Red House of the former Soviet Union.

"I mean, I have an idea to quickly increase Vanessa's combat power, but," Belle said, turning to Pepper, "it depends on whether Tony is willing to pay a big price to woo a madman." ”

The more the wine was drunk, the more the words became more and more boundless, and the scene became more and more out of control, gradually developing in some indescribable direction. Since it is indescribable, I will not say more.

Despite drinking a lot, Belle came home that night with an unusually clear and sharp mind, and even drafted a report before going to bed, trying to explain to S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers that improving Vanessa's self-defense ability was of great importance to the team.

……

The next day.

Dan, the agent, came to the door early in the morning, along with a large number of documents and a small envelope.

"What the hell is the Captain Foundation?"

Belle hadn't woken up yet, just glanced at the cover of the large document. Anyway, she doesn't have to look at it herself, the agent and the lawyer will do it for her, otherwise why would these people take so much money.

"That's probably the case with an organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities, funding research institutions that use technology to help people with disabilities return to normal life."

"What does that have to do with the captain? Why such a strange name? ”

"In honor of the only disabled president in history, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Back then, the poet Whitman wrote a poem in honor of President Lincoln, called "Captain, My Captain," and since then, Captain has become synonymous with president. Dan explained very patiently.

"It's a subtle tribute." Belle pouted as she spoke, "Can't you change your name?" ”

"You emailed me last night that you wanted to change the name of that club to Desperate Housewives, and I haven't complained, but you still want to change the name this time? Do you know how much formalities are involved? ”

Belle said, "Okay, okay, I just think there's an entertainment venue called 'Tiger!'" Tiger! 'Sounds weird. ”

Dan asked in confusion, "Isn't it nice for you to change to a desperate housewife?" ”

"Don't you think it sounds grounded? I'm also going to make a combination called that, it's definitely not weaker than the Avengers. ”

After working with Belle for many years, Dan knows that he can't talk to her, this eldest lady's brain circuit is a little weird, and she can just listen to those ideas, and there is no need to discuss them seriously with her.

"You can put the Foundation and the club on the ground for now, but you have to pay attention to the contents of this envelope."

LOOKING AT THE GILDED WORDS "IT'S SHOW TIME" ON THE ENVELOPE, SHE ALREADY KNEW THAT IT WAS AN INVITATION FROM VICTORIA'S SECRET.

"It's just to go to the scene to watch, and it's not to sign a contract with me, what else do you value?" Belle tossed the envelope aside, "Let's talk about the Foundation." ”

"Just your strength in fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, still expect Victoria's Secret to sign a contract with you?" Dan reprimanded her with dissatisfaction, "Do you remember the last time you worked?" Four months ago! Exactly four months! When he saw Edward two days ago, he asked me if you were going to quit modeling after meeting some rich man with the first lady. If you want me to say, you can't just take a little shit luck and inherit this little bit of stake and feel that it's almost the same, take advantage of the high popularity, you should consolidate it, this event is the best opportunity! Half of the fashion circle is here, and there are a lot of big guys, Tony Stark has also confirmed that he will go, God knows how difficult it was for me to get you a birthday party invitation last time......"

Dan is a good person, everything is good, but his mouth is too broken, once he enters the state, he can't stop at all for hours, and the old sesame rotten grain from many years ago can be turned out and torn again. But she doesn't have much to do, if she tells him that now she can talk and laugh with Iron Man at any time, and last night she drank with the CEO of Stark Industries until the middle of the night, just because of this little equity and Victoria's Secret invitation, one of her feet has stepped into the New York underworld merger, and has become the number one target of the world-class terrorist organization Hydra, this poor person will be directly scared to death.

After an hour, a parched Dan finally stopped, and Belle very thoughtfully handed him a glass of water and gave him a big hug.

"Alright, dear Dan, I'm sure I'll just behave well then, and by the way, please contact the person who sent you the invitation, and say I still want a copy, for Peter Parker."

Dan angrily pushed her away.

"Is this the attitude you want to behave in? Who the hell is this kid named Peter? ”
