5. Return to the community
After another 18 hours, S.H.I.E.L.D. completed the placement of Luo Xiu.
Phil. Agent Coulson walked into the closed room with a smile on his face and said to Luo Xiu, "Congratulations, Xiu, we have helped you find a host family that will allow you to return to the community immediately." In addition, the reconstruction of your home is also going on step by step, so you don't have to worry about everything. ”
Because of the loss of both parents, Luo Xiu, who is not yet 18 years old, must live with another family to complete his education, which means that he will have a new guardian.
This gave Luo Xiu a headache, and he frowned and asked, "Agent Coulson, I'm 17 years old, can I apply to become an EM (independent minor from guardian)?" ”
Agent Coulson shook his head: "I'm sorry, Xiu, although this step is feasible from a legal point of view, but considering your actual situation, I think it is more helpful for you to live in a host family." ”
Luo Xiu was extremely helpless, it seemed that he had no choice.
After lunch, S.H.I.E.L.D. sent two Level 1 agents back to the community, and the new host family was an old, small, chic house two blocks away from Luo Xiu's house.
Got out of the car, a couple was already standing at the door waiting.
The man was a tall man with a flushed face, a large nose, and a pair of dull eyes.
The hostess was very beautiful, and she still shone despite her age, and her long blond hair danced in the wind.
"Welcome, welcome, I'm Gregory. Sartre, welcome to my home. The man said very enthusiastically.
The hostess was equally enthusiastic and took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Luo Xiu.
"Hello, Xiu, I'm Janet, welcome to you."
"Gregory, Janet......" Luo Xiu thought quietly in his heart, these two names seemed to be very familiar, but he couldn't remember their origin for a while, so he smiled at the two of them first: "Hello, I'm Luo Xiu." ”
The couple smiled and nodded, and then nodded to the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in acknowledgment.
The two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had no intention of lingering, and left immediately after putting down Luo Xiu.
So Luo Xiu settled in his new home.
After entering the door, the Sartres were not as enthusiastic as they were at the door, Gregory went upstairs without looking back, and Janet sat down lazily on the sofa.
"Xiu, we only have two bedrooms in the house, one is our couple's room and the other is our daughter's. So if you're going to live here, you have only two options – either move into a basement or live in a garage. "But my suggestion is the garage, because there are so many bugs in the basement that I bet you can't even name them, but you don't want to be bitten by them." ”
Luo Xiu thought about it, and the garage was indeed a better choice.
This has nothing to do with insects, purely for the future, he has obtained a lot of black technology from S.H.I.E.L.D., and is ready to develop equipment for a period of time in the future, when the materials come in and out, plus construction noise, it is definitely not possible to operate in a closed space such as the basement, and the garage that is separated from the main body of the house is a good choice.
"Okay, then I'll choose the garage." Luo Xiu said very simply.
His decisive attitude surprised Janet.
"Oh, you look like a good boy to get along with." Janet laughed and said, "I thought you'd dislike living here." ”
Luo Xiu smiled, and then asked, "By the way, you have a daughter?" ”
Jenny nodded, "Yes, we have a daughter, her name is Colly, and I hope you like her." ”
"Collie? Kou Li. Sartre? ”
Luo Xiu couldn't help but get nervous, it seems that this host family is not simple.
Janet smiled and nodded: "Yes, she is a very special girl, although she is not our own, but we treat her as our own." ”
"Okay, looking forward to meeting her." Luo Xiu said with a smile, and then went back to the garage to clean up his room.
Although Sartre's house is not large, the garage is not small, with a lot of sundries and discarded tools, and of course, there are not many bugs.
Mr. and Mrs. Sartre seem to be laissez-faire guardians, completely ignoring Luo Xiu and letting him toss around in the garage alone, but Luo Xiu actually likes it like this, he can get more free space.
In the afternoon, he returned to his bombed-out house and brought back his laptop, clothes, and school-related items, and Luo Xiu completely completed the move.
Closing the garage door, Luo Xiu began to back up the black technology drawings he had seen from the S.H.I.E.L.D. database on his computer.
The memorable buff only lasts for a week, and the drawings don't stay in his mind for long.
It took almost three hours for Luo Xiu to finally complete the backup of the first drawing, which was the design drawing of the S.H.I.E.L.D. mechanical exoskeleton, and it was also the least difficult one among the many black technologies.
Sitting on the dilapidated rattan chair, Luo Xiu looked at the drawings on the screen with satisfaction, this black technology equipment will become his first work in the Marvel Universe, and even a stepping stone for him to join the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.
"Agent Coulson, I've foreseen our next meeting."
Luo Xiu smiled and muttered to himself.
And just then, the garage door opened slightly, and a nimble figure slipped through the crack in the door.
Luo Xiu heard the movement and looked back vigilantly.
I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with short shoulder-length hair, a tall and fit body, and obviously a mixed-race girl of Asian descent walking towards him.
Her eyes were very bright, and they shone brightly in the dimly lit garage.
Luo Xiu hurriedly got up: "Ko Li? Kou Li. Sartre? ”
The half-breed girl shook her head, "Call me Skye, compared to Kori. Sartre, or Skye's name is more suitable for me. ”
"Okay, Skye, hello, my name is Xiu." Luo Xiu smiled lightly and nodded.
Skye, sure enough, this is the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Skye nodded, not smiling on her face, she looked around and sighed, "You can clean up this junkyard in an afternoon, you're a good worker." ”
Luo Xiu didn't know how to answer, so he had to stand in silence and look at her.
Then Skye asked, "Both parents are dead, aren't they?" This must be a bad one. ”
Luo Xiu tilted his head: "Ah...... It's okay too. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Skye's eyes: "You don't seem to be sad, or are you a strong person?" But in a way we're the same, I've never met my biological parents, I don't even know their names. ”
Luo Xiu had a sympathetic expression on his face, but he smiled in his heart: I can tell you what you want to know.
At this time, Skye's gaze suddenly fell on Luo Xiu's computer screen, and then her eyes lit up.
"Oh my God, is this your design? Can you show me? ”
