The eighteenth birthday is a day that most people pay special attention to. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoPeople give this day a special meaning, often symbolizing the beginning of a person's journey towards maturity and social recognition, and people often celebrate this meaningful day in a variety of ways.

But not Raven.

She hates birthdays, and every birthday means that she is one step closer to "that day", as if the countdown timer has been set back by another day. When she was a child, someone prophesied that one day when she was eighteen years old, everything would perish.

That's why she hid her birthday from everyone, because she hated celebrating it and even deliberately wanted to ignore it.

But there are always things in life that cannot be escaped.

As soon as the clock on the bedside alarm clock turned over the midnight number, a strong sense of foreboding rose in Raven's heart, like an animal's repressed instinct to feel danger. She hadn't closed her eyes all night, curled up at the head of the bed in her thin pajamas, her mind a mess. Today is her eighteenth birthday, and after today, every moment could be the fulfillment of the prophecy.

She sat like this all night, until the early morning sun pierced through the curtains, illuminating her snow-white skin almost transparently. She glanced at the clock at the bedside, which was just past six o'clock.

Really, I panicked like this. I knew my fate early on, and I had never been so impatient in the past years, so did my mentality change since I met Eric?

Raven sighed softly, got out of bed, quickly changed his clothes and went out.

Early in the morning, seven o'clock.

The rare thing that woke Eric up this morning wasn't the alarm clock, but the smell, the choking smell that permeated his entire house, like something burned.

Eric got out of bed, rubbed his eyes, followed the smell and went to the kitchen, and was surprised to find that Raven, dressed casually, was busy in the kitchen, the pot made a "popping" sound, the choking smell and thick oil smoke simply formed a forbidden area that humans could not approach, it was hard to imagine how this girl survived in such a harsh environment.

Eric entered the kitchen with the choking smell of smoke, and couldn't even speak, so he quickly stepped forward and turned on the range hood, glanced into the pot, and saw that the fried black stuff was almost impossible to look at.

Raven didn't look back, staring stubbornly at the black mass in the pot, trying to lift it off the bottom of the pot with a spatula. But it was so tight that Eric could see her gritting her teeth, her slender arms exerting all her strength, and the thing still lying dead at the bottom of the pot.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, it was finally lifted up by Raven, and it popped out of the pot in an exaggerated way, and was thrown out in a graceful arc in mid-air. Eric picked up a clean plate with a quick eye, reached out with lightning speed, and caught it beautifully with a "snap".

"Good...... Good craftsmanship! Eric smiled dryly.

It's dangerous, it's dangerous, but fortunately, the combination with the Amozhuo armor makes Eric's motor nerves and reflexes beyond ordinary people, otherwise he really wouldn't have reacted......

Raven brought himself a plate and sat down at the table.

Eric asked tentatively, "I said this is ......"

Raven didn't answer, but judging by her reaction to pouting and her gaze unnaturally tilting to the side, it seemed to be, right?

Well, I don't know why, but it's rare that Raven would try to take the initiative to make breakfast for him, even for the sake of her cute reaction, can't he not eat it? Eric simply stopped thinking about it and bit down on the black shell.

Perhaps he underestimated the power of the Dark Cuisine, and the repercussions were even more violent than he had imagined. The terrible smell rushed from his mouth to his brain, and his throat seemed to be on fire for a moment. He didn't know what his expression looked like, but it must have been wonderful. Although Raven's efforts are very impressive, it has to be said that this girl really doesn't seem to have much talent for cooking.

"Good...... It's delicious......" It feels like holding back this sentence with the last breath left, after all, it is something made by a goddess, and even if you cry, you have to at least give a good review.

Raven also took a bite and immediately put down the dishes, her expression was also very unnatural, and sure enough, even she really found this thing difficult to eat. Others may not be able to see it, but Eric can see at a glance that she is lost like a defeated rooster, and seems to have taken a big hit.

Eric smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't force yourself to do something that doesn't suit you, even if you don't do it, you're unique." As he spoke, he paused, and asked, "So, what kind of wind is blowing today?" Why did you suddenly come to my house to make breakfast? ”

"Nothing." Raven's gaze unconsciously fell to the base of the wall, "After all, you have helped me so much, and you have made breakfast for me many times, and I want to ...... Give it a try. ”

"That's ......" Eric nodded suspiciously, but didn't ask any more.

Raven took a deep breath.

"Forget it, let's go out for a bite to eat...... Let's go get a pizza. ”

Eric was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay...... Yes, but you're not...... Do you hate pizza? ”

"It doesn't hurt to try something new once in a while." She said lightly, her expression a little unnatural again.

After a moment's hesitation, as if to organize the language for a while, she added, "And the weather seems to be exceptionally good today, so I want to ...... Well...... Maybe after breakfast...... We can...... Well, you know -- go out and walk around or something? To the street, or to the mall? ”

Eric stared at her in a daze, not reacting to which of the songs was being sung for a moment, and wondering if there was a problem with the ability of his ears to receive sound just now.

Raven just ...... Is this an unsolicited date?

"I don't really understand what this is all about...... "Eric said, smiling slightly, "but I can go anywhere with you." ”

Raven smiled slightly, and Eric later recalled that smile was full of warmth, bitterness, and helplessness at the same time.

At this moment, the Aegis floating carrier.

Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, and the non-berserk Dr. Banner, several members of the Avengers gathered around the table in the conference room. The automatic door slid open mechanically, and Nick Fury walked briskly into the room with a gloomy face.

"The situation is urgent, Avengers." He got straight to the point.

"Of course, you wouldn't have called us all here if it wasn't urgent." Tony said and glanced at Dr. Banner, "Especially a ticking bomb of anger at any moment - no offense, Doctor." ”

"Yes, very urgently." Fury said in a deep voice, "We must act now, if the intelligence is accurate, this could be a disaster on a global scale." ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but become serious.

"What about this time, Fury?" Tony frowned and asked, "Evil alien invasion?" Or is there something that's not a nuisance in one of your unknown labs? ”

"Neither." Fury shook his head and turned on the big screen.

A girl appears on the screen, wearing a black jacket, skinny jeans, and a backpack sandwiched between the crowd, looking blankly in the direction of the camera.

"She!?" Tony was startled, wasn't this Raven on the screen?

"Rachel Rose." Fury said coldly, "One of the most dangerous people on the planet. ”
