Chapter Forty-Eight: A Small Gathering
In the hospital, Peter Parker sat in front of the operating room, his legs shaking, his hands rubbing together, looking restless.
"Peter!" Aunt May saw Parker sitting there, she called his name loudly, then remembered that it was the hospital, and lowered her voice again: "How is he?" His voice trembled, with a crying tone.
"It shouldn't be fine." Parker tugged at the corners of his mouth vigorously, trying to make a smile to comfort Aunt May. "The ambulance came just in time." Parker said that he had concealed his encounter with the ninja and that he didn't want Aunt May to know, and that he felt it might be dangerous.
The lights in the operating room dimmed, and the doctor came out of the operating room, and Peter Parker stared at him intensely, for fear of missing something.
"Ben Parker's family?"
"I—We are."
"The operation went very well," the doctor had not finished speaking, and Parker and Aunt May were already hugging each other tightly. The doctor didn't speak, but watched them quietly as he vented his emotions. "Ahem." The doctor cleared his throat.
"He's going to need to stay in the hospital for a while, you know, after all," the doctor raised his hand and made a pistol gesture.
"Hello, it's Peter Parker, right?" A black policeman approached Parker with a portrait.
"Yes, I'm Peter Parker." Parker nodded.
"Do you see this person?" The black policeman handed the portrait to Parker.
Parker looked at it carefully, and then said, "That's right, it's him." ”
"Does he have any other traits?" Parker asked, just as the black cop was about to leave.
"He has a tattoo of a blue star on his hand, and many witnesses have seen it, so it shouldn't be wrong." The police responded. "Can you give me this portrait?"
"To you?" The policeman blinked, then said, "Yes." He nodded.
Parker clutched him tightly in his hand, and he suddenly remembered Uncle Ben's words. "It's not a choice, it's a responsibility." As if he understood something, he raised his head slightly, looking at the blank ceiling, his eyes lit up slightly.
"Miss." Barbara called out to Ellen who was eating chocolate, and she was cautious because she knew that Ellen hated being disturbed the most while eating chocolate.
"What's wrong?" Ai Lan frowned, her voice a little impatient.
"Mr. Tony Stark is here?"
"What is he doing here?" Ai Lan was a little puzzled. "Ask him to come in." Ai Lan said.
After a while, Tony Stark sat down on the couch across from Ailan, and he looked at Ailan with a smile and a "I've seen everything" expression.
"Something?" Ai Lan asked briefly.
"Can't I look for you if it's okay?"
Ai Lan dragged her chin with her hand, made a serious thinking expression and said, "No." ”
"I'm here to get you a drink." Tony Stark smiled.
"If you want someone to drink, just say it, and I'm sure a lot of people will come back and get a picture of the Statue of Liberty from the White House."
"I'm not that good, at most from the White House to the Washington Monument." Tony Stark smiled, then his expression became serious, and he said, "I really came to you for a drink, and I gave the name and address of a bar. ”
Ai Lan's face was as usual, and she was a little surprised in her heart: "How did you find mine?" It's strange, I've already interfered with it with a spell" In just a few seconds, Elan guessed in his mind that Tony Stark would be able to discover various methods, and Elan said, "Kim, Barbara, you guys leave, I have something to talk about with Mr. Stark." ”
"Yes, miss." The two answered.
"It looks like the two of them are just ordinary people." Tony Stark waited until the two of them left.
"You're just an ordinary person." Elan, glanced at Tony Stark.
"Hey! I'm Iron Man. ”
"If you don't wear that armor, I guess a few clicks of gold can get you."
"Really? That little beauty with a cold face just now? Tony Stark asked.
Ai Lan smiled, and the corners of her good-looking mouth pulled out an arc. "Why don't you try?"
"Forget it, I don't want to fight the mage's servants." Tony Stark stared at Elan's pretty face, trying to see her mental activity.
"Sir, the other party's heartbeat and body temperature index are normal." Jarvis's voice rang out in the headphones. "However, Miss Ailan has no expression of surprise, and no other emotions, my character, sir, your conjecture is correct." Jarvis continued.
"In that case, why don't you stay for dinner, and then we'll go have a drink, and I'll call another friend."
"Alley's friend or 'Sindore'' friend?" Tony Stark asked quippedly.
"The person who drinks with Iron Man will naturally be 'Sindore'." Ai Lan replied simply.
In a small unnamed bar, there are three glasses on a small wine table, two of which are already filled with amber wine. There is only one handsome barmaid in the whole bar, and the meticulous white shirt and rose red bow tie look particularly neat.
Tony looked at his watch, he frowned, and said unhappily, "It's been fifteen minutes, why hasn't he come yet?" ”
"It's night, he's hunting, maybe there are more prey today?" Alan chuckled, picked up the glass and took a sip.
Tony stared at Ailan's face, and in his eyes, Ailan's face seemed to have a layer of fog, and no matter from that angle, he couldn't see clearly. He asked with some curiosity, "Didn't you say you were a fire mage?" How could there be such a spell? ”
Ai Lan chuckled, then explained, "It's just a spell trick, not a spell. Looking at Tony still puzzled, Ai Lan pretended to be a little proud and said: "To put it simply, it is to refract the light to achieve the purpose of stealth." ”
Tony Stark nodded, then said, "Were you serious about the last time you were at the party?" ”
Ai Lan blinked in confusion and replied, "Which thing?" ”
"That's what operated on me." Tony picked up his glass and took a sip of it, then thought it tasted good and took another sip.
"Absolutely. But the question of price" Ai Lan wanted to take the opportunity to ask for a deal.
"We are comrades-in-arms who share life and death, besides, you are a magical mage, can't you use a spell to change the things in my body with a bang?" Tony called exaggeratedly, drawing a sideways glance from the handsome bartender.
"Do I want that hat again, can I bring out the rabbit inside? I'm a mage, not a magician. Elan said to Tony, then she turned her head to look at the door, and then said to Tony, "Can't wait, he's coming." ”
Blade followed the message left by Elan, and he pushed the door open and walked in, the atmosphere of the small bar made him feel relaxed. He pushed down his sunglasses and saw Ai Lan and a person sitting near the bar, he walked over, sat down directly, and said to the people at the table: "A group of different guys popped up tonight, and it took a while to solve them." That was his explanation for being late.
"It's a bit interesting to be treated as a troublesome guy by being a daywalker, so why don't you have a drink?" Alan pushed the bottle on the table.
Blade was unceremonious, picked up the bottle and poured a full glass directly, and then drank it in one gulp. "It just so happens that I'm thirsty too. He said, then poured himself another glass.
"Hey, what do you do?" Tony sat down and asked at Blade.
Blade looked at Tony carefully, and Tony felt a little chilled when he saw it, and Tony's hand unconsciously touched the box placed next to his leg. "Isn't this the Iron Man who has been making a fuss lately?" Blade thought to himself, "What did Sindore bring him for?" Blade straightened the collar of his coat, patted the sword on his back and said, "Blade, hunt vampires." ”
Tony glanced at Elan and said, "You're not kidding me?" ”
Ai Lan nodded without a trace, and after Tony looked at it, he smiled and said, "I'm Iron Man." ”
Blade grinned, and Tony's eyes narrowed as Bai Sensen's teeth swayed, and Blade raised his glass to Tony for a moment, then drank it down. Blade felt that he liked the feeling of the wine very much, and with a drink, he felt a little less bloodthirsty in the previous battles. Seeing this, Tony didn't admit defeat, and drank it dry.
The wine was also drunk, and Blade planned to ask directly about the purpose of this meeting. "Sindore, I'll be straight to the point, what are you calling me to do tonight?"
"Nothing, remember that vampire we met?"
Blade nodded. Tony listened quietly, these things were more or less unbelieving to him, but now that he had seen them, he planned to listen carefully and see what he could gain.
"She accepted the knighthood of Grand Marquinos. If we were to make a move on her, we would have to consider Big Malaysia Kinos. ”
Blade smiled disdainfully, "Just kill them together." ”
"How many can you kill, a hundred, five hundred? Don't forget, how you are now wanted. ”
Tony couldn't hold back his curiosity, and he asked with some excitement, "Who is Big Marquinos?" Also a vampire? ”
"The supreme duke among vampires, there are countless vampires under his command, and he is no worse than you in terms of social influence." Alan explained.
"Joke, I'm a genius, a patriot, and the owner of Stark Industries." Tony laughed.
Blade opened his mouth to ask Tony, "Immortality you want?" It won't age, the price is a little blood every day, but you can't see the sun, are you excited? ”
Tony touched his chin and smiled indifferently: "I'm not impressed, I still have to look at Pepper's swimsuit!" Not at Sunshine Beach, how can I coax her? ”
Ai Lan and Blade were speechless, and they all picked up their wine glasses and took a sip.
