Chapter Twenty-Nine: Thrilling Los Angeles

"Joaquin, Isa! It's time for breakfast! "From downstairs came the voice of my mother's call.

Wake up Joakin, who has gone mad, and Isabel, who is standing in the doorway. Emerging from his own world, Joaquin discovers that Peter Parker is no longer there, and Isabel is looking at herself with a neurotic look.

"Well, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Joaquin twitched the corners of his lips in embarrassment.

In the restaurant, Anne successively put breakfast in front of Joaquin, who was waiting to be fed, and said: "I just learned that Tony Stark appeared again at a charity gala, and I need to go to Los Angeles in person, you two are at home."

"Los Angeles? Shall we both go too? Joaquin couldn't wait to speak, interrupting his mother's words.

"A lot of things have happened at home recently, and you and Isha are still waiting for me at home, and Ben hasn't fully recovered." Anne shook her head in disapproval.

"Actually, I wasn't ready to face Uncle Ben, and when I showed up at the hospital door with him in my arms, he knew I was a mutant." Joaquin shrugged his shoulders and shoved the fried egg in front of him into his mouth.

"Don't be afraid, kid, I wouldn't have thought anything of you, and besides, you saved him, didn't you?" Anne whispered comfortingly, apparently not believing even herself what she said. Anything involving mutants is unpredictable, and the reaction of ordinary people is unpredictable, even the closest Uncle Ben.

"Isha doesn't feel any more danger from them, so let's go around Los Angeles with her, she's grown up so much that she hasn't left New York yet." There was a hint of longing in Joaquin's tone, he wanted to see the outside world. Although New York is the largest city in the United States.

"Please, Annie, Hollywood, Disney, Santa Monica Beach!" Joaquin's enthusiasm for trying new things is as high as ever. Although this concept has become the biggest obstacle for him and Isabel to be together.

Seeing Joaquin's expectant eyes, Isabel lowered her head and whispered, "Take us, Annie, we'll be very obedient." ”

Anne looked at the elm-headed Jorkin, who still knew nothing, sighed helplessly, and reached out to rub Isabel's blonde hair. As long as people who are close to Isabel will always have such caressing movements towards Isabel. The girl's hair is really beautiful.

"Are you ready to say goodbye to Uncle Ben? We may have to stay there for a while before Christmas to come back, the exact time has not yet been determined, and the other party is a very unreliable person, and the hell knows when I will be able to make an appointment with him. Anne nodded, finally granting the two of them their request, Joaquin's request to be exact.

"Uncle Ben, well, forget it, I'll just talk to Peter." Joaquin thought about it, but he still planned not to contact Uncle Ben for a short time, if Uncle Ben's attitude was the same as other ordinary humans in society, then Joaquin would probably lose Uncle Ben forever.

Society is cruel, and escaping is also a kind of life, isn't it?

*****

I had a good exchange with Peter Parker, and vaguely told Peter Parker not to show his abilities at will. After repeatedly explaining that he was not moving, but traveling, Peter Parker was relieved.

As the plane landed, a group of people came from the cold winter to the lukewarm spring. Los Angeles, the famous City of Angels, is located on the west coast of the United States, and due to its Mediterranean climate, it is still warm in winter. It's a great place for a vacation.

The itinerary was smooth, but at the end, when checking into the hotel, Joaquin and his mother had a disagreement. Annie wants to put Joaquin and Isabel in one room! This made Joaquin very embarrassed, and in the end, Joaquin still lived in one room by himself, while Anne and Isabel lived in one.

What else can be said? Those with elm heads are destined to be orphans.

Anne was collecting materials every day, making frequent phone calls, contacting all kinds of people, especially people from Stark Industries, in just one week, Anne didn't know how many people she had interviewed, and she was busy from morning to night every day, typing on the side to understand what she wanted. But at the moment, she is more of a waiter, in Los Angeles, to make sure she can get the first-hand materials. God knows when that capricious Tony Stark will have the whim to do another press conference, and last time because Anne was back in New York, she had to send someone else to attend, and it didn't work out well.

Because of their mother's relationship, Joaquin and his wife also have a great interest in Tony Stark. At this time, the two of them were sitting curled up on the bed, with a magazine in front of them.

"Tony Stark, tsk, what an amazing character." Joaquin flipped through the magazine, learning about this bastard who had made his mother work so hard, "Genius, patriot. The son of legendary American weapons developer Howard Stark, he graduated summa laude from MIT at the age of 17 and became president of Stark Industries at the age of 21.

Joaquin looked at the Tony Stark character in front of him, with big eyes and a mustache, looking like a very handsome middle-aged uncle.

"Is his existence just to make men ashamed?" Joaquin tossed the magazine aside and continued to flip through the newspaper to catch up on Stark's latest movements.

Isabel read Tony Stark's story and said with interest, "It looks like a mature and steady uncle." ”

"Mature and steady? Your evaluation is not related to the evaluation in the newspaper. Joaquin's head was big for a while, he fell on the bed, put the newspaper on his face, and said sullenly, "Anne is out again, it turns out that the newspaper office works so hard, I thought we could wait for her to go out for a walk together after work." ”

"Joaquin, Joaquin!" The newspaper on her face was taken away by Isabel, and Joaquin was dragged up, "Let's go, let's go out for a walk." ”

Joaquin followed Isabel's finger and looked out the window, the night view of Los Angeles was indeed beautiful on a brightly lit night.

"It's so late, where can I go? We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"How about a stroll, how about going to the beach? It must have been great to blow the sea breeze. With a hint of anticipation in her eyes, Isabel took Joaquin's palm, and through the rough bandage on Joaquin's hand, she conveyed a trace of warmth.

"Let's go." Joaquin nodded, not only did he want to see the world of flowers for a long time, but also wanted to take Isabel to relax, she had experienced a lot of difficult moments during this time, fortunately, the girl's character was very good, gentle and strong, at least so far, she is still optimistic and cheerful, positive. If Joaquin had been a dead man in his mind every day since he was a child, and he was abandoned by his parents, God knows if Joaquin would become a big devil.

Walked out of the hotel with Isabel and got into a small broken car that had been rented a long time ago. Compared with New York, the price of Los Angeles is okay, this low-end small broken car, about 800 US dollars for two weeks, including various taxes.

"There are not as many beauties as imagined!" Dressed in a simple blouse and with her long hair brushed back, Isabel was elegant and charming, looking at the high-rise buildings lining the streets, much like her hometown.

"It is said that there are many beautiful women in Hollywood, so let's go around another day." Joaquin felt guilty for a while, "I did a lot of homework before I came, such as the very famous signboard, such as the wax museum, the Avenue of Stars. Well, Odio Boulevard, you'll love it, and while we can't afford to buy a dress for $20,000 or $30,000 at the moment, it should feel good to look at the rich with a critical eye. ”

"Haha." Isabel covered her mouth and chuckled and patted Joaquin's shoulder, "Maybe I can try to sell paintings, you know, my painting skills are not bad, as long as I don't sell those dead people, I should make some money, so we have money, we can buy you some"

"Stop! Isa! I'm embarrassed by your conversation! Joaquin reached out to stop Isabel, and the girl's words made Joaquin feel more and more awkward.

There was silence in the car, for a long time, dozens of seconds later

"Joaquin, what Christmas present do you want!"

"Oh! Come on! He! Sha! Seashell! You! Joaquin exclaimed frantically.

"Hahaha." Isabel looked at Joaquin's deflated appearance with interest and laughed heartily. After just a few conversations, the two young men and women put their worries behind them.

"Listen, tomorrow I'm going to take you to the wax museum, and then I'll have you repent in front of the presidents."

"Good idea, I'd like to go see Kennedy and talk to him about how that bullet made a beautiful arc and got into him, oh my God." Isabel was still arguing with Joaquin, when a behemoth suddenly sprang out from the side of the highway!

The behemoth smashed several vehicles on the highway, the scene was chaotic, and Joaquin hurriedly controlled the vehicle to turn! Because the distance is too close, it is very unrealistic to step on the brakes, so you can only take a detour and control the vehicle not to crash into it!

And to the shock of the two, that behemoth actually stood up! It turned out to be a huge machine qì person! At the same time, the two of them saw clearly that it was not just a machine qì person! There was another "petite" man lying on the ground not far away, struggling to get up!

In front of the car window, the huge machine with a height of nearly three meters grabbed it back and lifted Joaquin's car directly!

"Ahh Isabel screamed loudly, grabbed Joaquin's arm, and shouted, "Don't be afraid, Joaquin, you'll be fine, we're together every day, and I don't see a picture of your death." ”

In a critical situation, Joakin was moved and angry in his heart, when did Isabel still worry about him, not herself!

"Shut up, you idiot! Of course I'm fine, the problem is you! Joaquin grabbed Isabel with his backhand, and the two disappeared into the car in an instant.
