5. I am against this family business
"We're rich!"
On the way home, Pietro shouted excitedly, waving his arms vigorously, the energetic young man dressed neatly and his hair neatly combed back his head, but after an hour, the whole person was completely renewed, like the usual elite on Wall Street.
He put his arm around Sean's shoulders, his attitude was extremely eager, his face was full of smiles, and he didn't have the same vigilance as before, like a long-lost brother.
Why such a huge shift?
The reason came from the other check in his hand, the same pale yellow piece of paper that Pietro had gotten, the only difference was the amount on it, this one could withdraw a huge five-figure amount of cash at any time.
In Pietro's eyes, this is simply an astronomical amount of money, enough for him and Wanda to live a prosperous life, start a small business or leave Sokovia, away from war and poverty, it is a good choice.
What's even more surprising is that Sean didn't care about handing it to himself, as if throwing away a piece of waste paper, without the slightest expression of reluctance on his face, Pietro began to realize that maybe the guy Wanda picked up was not a trouble, but a huge gold mine.
“…… So, that doctor recognized you as a rich man and wanted to hire you as a top manager? ”
Even though he repeated it many times, Pietro still felt that it was unreal, and he held the check above his head, thinking that he would go to the bank to exchange it later, for fear that it would be like last night's dream, only to wake up and find that everything was an illusion.
"To correct it, he recognized me as a scholar at the State University of New York, who worked in the field of biology and was said to have been featured on the cover of Time magazine — I saw the book, and it was indeed me."
Sean shrugged his shoulders and said with a serious face, he decided to participate in Baron Straker's transformation experiments and contribute to the great cause of Hydra.
The power of the Mind Gem needs to be mastered in depth, and in the absence of testers, borrow the energy of the Hydra organization, and I think they won't mind.
"It's all the same, they're all rich anyway."
Pietro disagreed, in his poor dictionary, there is probably only a simple concept of rich and poor, and Sean, whose real identity is a scientist from the United States, undoubtedly belongs to the former.
They returned to the dilapidated old house, and the new Pietro stepped on the shiny new leather shoes, kicked the stone bricks on the ground at random, revealing a key underneath.
This apartment building near an abandoned factory has a dilapidated feel, made of red bricks, the walls have been mottled and faded in the wind and rain, the paint on the steel railings has been peeled off a lot by the long-term sun, and the damp corners of the downstairs are uncared for, covered with slippery moss, full of old and decadent atmosphere.
"Maybe we can get a better house." Petero had an infinite vision.
Find a better apartment to move in, not have to cramp into this cramped old house, and maybe buy a Cadillac, that was my dream when I was younger.
Wanda learns the news when she returns from work, and Pietro's six-hour dream is over, and Wanda drags her brother into the room for a long ideological education.
"You don't have to."
Sean, who stayed on the rooftop, smiled, looking at Wanda who handed the check back, living in poverty and hardship, but still being able to maintain the kindness and self-esteem in his heart, which is actually very commendable.
This reminded the young man of Captain America, the man named Steve Rogers, who was not born tall and strong, on the contrary, he was thin and short, and he could not even pass the conscription medical examination.
But such a small man is the only super soldier, who has not been swallowed up by ambition like Red Skull, nor has he embarked on the path of the Green Goblin, letting killing dominate the body and mind, and violently solving everything, Captain America has always been the only one, insisting on himself and sticking to the bottom line.
"We shouldn't have accepted your gifts...... Pietro just dazed, I'll bring you back from outside and replace it with someone else......" Wanda stumbled.
"They're going to strip my wallet and throw it out on the street — Wanda, I'm grateful to you, and that money doesn't mean anything, because you're doing so much more than money can pay."
Sean interrupts the girl, hoping that he can give the siblings something in return, at least not to let them become Baron Straker's experiments, monsters born of hatred.
In the original timeline, the fate of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch was bumpy, because of the tragic death of their parents, the siblings hated Tony Stark and volunteered to join Baron Straker's transhuman experiment, becoming one of the few surviving works.
Later, when the Ultron crisis broke out, they sided with the enemies of the Avengers, but because of Ultron's evil plan to destroy humanity, they chose to temporarily put aside their hatred and resolutely help the Avengers, Quicksilver died tragically in order to save Hawkeye Barton, and Scarlet Witch was almost imprisoned in the civil war.
Sean's arrival is like a butterfly flapping its wings, changing what should have happened, the Soul Gem fell into his hands, and the Ultron crisis was nipped in the bud.
After all, in the future territory, whether it is S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra, they will all have to be eliminated by the new era in the end.
"If you feel that you don't want to go, you can join the experimental group, and the experimental data of twins is very rare."
Sean looked at Wanda, who was stunned, and the jewel phantom in his mind flickered.
He was curious to see how Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who were born from his hands, would be different from the original.
Wanda's big eyes blinked, meeting the young man's deep gaze, her heart jumped, her spirit and consciousness suddenly confused, and her inexplicable mood surged.
Involuntarily, she remembered the fairytale-like dream of last night, perhaps it was an omen.
Sean's eyes seemed to be full of magic, swirling with multiple illusions of life and death, which ordinary people would subconsciously want to avoid, but Wanda found it particularly attractive.
The night breeze staggered by, with fresh air, and the two stayed on the rooftop, chatting about the interesting things they had encountered each other, and the happy laughter spread far away.
"If that guy dares to do anything, I'm going to beat him up! Don't think a broken check can buy me! ”
Pietro's ears were pressed against the iron door of the rooftop, and his mouth kept muttering to himself.
A young rich man from the United States meets an innocent girl in the middle of nowhere, and this is not the beginning of a good story.
As an older brother, Pietro has already made up a series of tragic episodes in which Sean began to abandon and then his sister grew up alone with her children.
"It's horrible...... I'm against it. He shook his head vigorously, shaking out the messy thoughts.
