"Rick, why don't you have any energy at all, haven't you just been on summer vacation? Perk up the dots. Tomorrow is your 16th birthday. Since you don't hang out with your classmates either, you can have a good time with us at home, by the way, did you see your cousin Will? ”

"Okay, I'll get up. Uncle Harvey. ”

Rick Joe lazily straightened up from the soft couch in the middle of the living room and looked at Harvey Olier as he opened the door from the outside.

"As for Will, that kid must have gone to Leah's house, after all, we're moving out soon, and he'll never see his little girlfriend again."

Rick stretched, a little gloating.

"Damn, the little kid still talks about love. Rick, you go and help get your cousin back, buy some more ingredients on the way, and let Aunt Elanna cook a big dinner to celebrate your birthday in the evening. ”

Harvey Olier said as he changed his shoes, "By the way, you've got your driver's license, let's drive my car," and after that, he took out the keys from his pocket and threw them over.

"Okay, uncle, you can pack up your things slowly, isn't there still a while before you move anyway?"

Rick took the flying key, walked over to the faucet and rinsed his face with clean water.

"Go early and come back early, and come back to have time to clean up with me." Harvey Olier looked at Rick who pushed the door and shouted again.

"Roger, receive!" Rick held his coat in one hand and held out his fingers in the other to turn the car keys.

San Francisco, California

Rick Joe drove his uncle's Chevrolet on Highway 101 in the South Bay, thinking about his situation and feeling a little sad.

"The Marvel Universe! Purple sweet potato essence! New York War! Washington War! That one snaps his fingers! The key is that I am still an ordinary high school student, and I said that the average person who travels well has a golden finger! ”

From 2019 to 2009, from a 25-year-old social animal who ate and waited for death after graduation to a 16-year-old high school student in his prime. From Joe to Rick Joe.

The original owner of the body, his father was Chinese, and his mother was white, who died unexpectedly in a car accident, and grew up living in his mother's sister, that is, his uncle and aunt. It's been half a year since he crossed over, and Rick, who knows the world he is in, feels gray when he looks at the sky.

"It's 2009 now, and Tony Stark next door is still sleeping with the cover girl, without the slightest kidnapping and going to heaven, but the statue of Tony and the captain in the memorial can also be very clear that this is the Marvel universe, but I don't know if it's a movie universe or a comic universe. However, although Iron Man was released in 08, I remember that there seems to be news that Marvel reset the time of Iron Man to happen in 10 years. ”

"Whatever, what does all this have to do with me, I'm just an ordinary high school student who has crossed over"

"No cheats, no mutations, and no money! The point is that my uncle's family is going to move to New York soon. Thinking of this, Rick Joe felt even more bleak in life. ”

"Squeak"

Rick put the brakes on and parked the car in front of his cousin's "little girlfriend" Leah's house.

"Little Leah, aren't your parents there? My brother is here to pick up Will, next time I will take him to play, and by the way, I will buy you snacks~"

Rick pushed open the door, and saw no Leah's parents, only a 6-year-old girl sitting on the floor playing with plasticine, and a flash of clothes at the door of another room. Said with a smile.

"Brother Rick, my mom is at Aunt Peder's next door. Will said he didn't come to my house today. ”

"That's good" Rick walked over, touched Leah's head, and looked at another door and said, "Will, don't hide, come here, don't want your pocket money again!" ”

"Bad Rick, you can't confiscate my pocket money, or I'll tell Daddy."

A little boy about 7 years old walked out of the room, touched his blonde hair all over the sky, and said with a sad face.

"Little Leah, help my brother say hello to your parents, I'll take Will back first, and I'll play next time." Rick dragged Will in one hand as he opened the door and went out.

"Okay, Brother Rick, goodbye Will" Leah stood up and waved.

"Get in the car, remember to fasten your seat belt, it's a pity that your little girlfriend won't be seen in the future."

Rick said with a smile as he opened the back of the car for Will.

"Hmph, she's not my girlfriend."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, you're playing house." Rick looked in the rearview mirror and smiled.

At night, it is not yet completely dark in the summer, but the room is already brightly lit.

"Rick, come and try it, this is the specialty of your hometown on the other side of the ocean, roast chicken, your father also made it once when you were a child, and your aunt practiced the recipe specially."

Elanna forked a piece of chicken thigh with a fork and handed it to Rick's plate.

Rick picked up the chicken with chopsticks and ate it, and after tasting it, he thought to himself, "The taste is average, and it's not spicy, it's not as good as taro roast chicken, let alone a large plate of chicken." But that's what Aunt Elanna has in mind. ”

"It was delicious, thank you Aunt Elena. You eat too," Rick said, putting down his chopsticks and patting the head of Little Will, who was grabbing the steak with both hands on the chair next to him.

Harvey Olier took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, wiped his mouth, and said, "Rick, you'll be 16 years old tomorrow, and you're going to be in the 11th grade when school starts." Our move is expected to be to Queens, New York, and your middle school has asked an old friend to handle the transfer procedures for you, which is called Midtown Science and Technology High School. You can just report it when you get there. Will's elementary school is just across the street from your school, so you can pick up Will and go home after school. ”

"Midtown High School, Spider-Man's high school? But if it's the Dutch brother Spider in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he should still be in elementary school. I don't know if I'll meet Marvel's novice guide in Queens, New York. Rick couldn't help but think when he heard Harvey's words.

"I'll be transferred to a research institute in Manhattan, and your Aunt Elana will be transferred to Midtown Science and Technology High School as a teacher, and maybe she will teach you."

"That's it, little Rick, if you become your teacher, you have to watch you carefully, you can't be naughty in class, I heard that you are popular with many girls at Lowell High School this semester."

Elana took the conversation, looked at Rick and said with a smile.

Rick smiled awkwardly, "No, no, I'm just exercising regularly." ”

Just 15 and a half years old, he is 1.7 meters tall. After coming to the Marvel world, I had the mentality that I couldn't run if I couldn't beat others, even if I died, I would die later if I ran faster than if I ran slowly.

Rick runs unremittingly every day and does some simple muscle exercises, although his body is not as muscular as Mr. Bodybuilder, but he also has a slightly bulging muscle, comfortable proportions, and looks very sunny and handsome.

The birthday dinner in the evening came to an end with a cheerful conversation.

Elana looked up at the hands of the clock hanging on the wall, and stood up to move the cake full of candles, and turned off all the lights in the room. Harvey picked up the cigarette lighter on the dining table, lit the candle, turned his head and said, "It's a new year, make a good wish!"

Rick closed his eyes and slowly blew out the lit candle, the hands of the clock pointing to exactly zero.

"Ding, check that the host is over 16 years old, and the game system is officially turned on."
