Chapter 1606: Fireside Chat (Part II)
"Doctor! Doctor! Let me hide! ”
Peter Parker's young, high-pitched, even thunderous rumbling shouted from the doorway, and even the flames of the fireplace were swayed from side to side by the cold wind he had rushed in, as if they were about to be extinguished.
The young man squeezed in through the crack in the door, and quickly took out a "temporarily closed" sign from the shoe cabinet next to him and hung it on the hook outside the door, and then stretched out his arm and pressed the leftmost button of the transponder on the side of the door, and the roller shutter outside the door slowly fell.
The room was dim except for the fireplace fire, as if suddenly it was dark, and the other three of Peter's fast movements did not have time to stop them, but the next action was even more incomprehensible.
Peter walked as fast as he could through the living room to the deep kitchen, took out a bottle of Scotch whisky from under the cabinet on the far left, poured himself a finger with the crystal glass next to him, and poured it into his mouth like a poultice.
Then he stood beside the island and let out a sigh of relief, and the eyes of the three people sitting by the fireplace were all wide-eyed, as if they had seen some kind of monster running for its life but dying, and shock was mixed with confusion, curiosity and cautious hesitation.
What are the troubles in this world that can make Spider-Man drink to relieve his sorrows? No one even asks this question because it sounds like a death knell for the destruction of the world, an alarm for the destruction of the flood.
"I'm sorry, but I'll have to get some courage."
Peter said as he inhaled, arching his nose upwards vigorously, looking completely unaccustomed to alcohol, grinning with spiciness, and then showing the dazed appearance of paralysis.
"Shocking." Schiller put one leg on the other and put his hands on his knees and commented.
"You want to say you're an adult." Steve said before Peter could speak, and then continued, "But none of us will say you can't drink, all we want to know is why you're drinking." ”
Peter leaned his back on the island as if he had lost all his strength, and his upper body lay on his side on the surface of the fallen platform, and let out a wail, like a bird that had fallen on the wheat field.
"My carelessness in causing Gwen to give her own replacement was discovered by George, so I had to explain it to him instead of leaving Gwen alone."
"Gwen Spider-Man chased me all the way and tried to beat me up, but she wasn't the point at all, how the hell was I going to talk to George, he would definitely say that I brought Gwen to me."
"I think you can solve ......"
"The problem is that it is! If she hadn't been in a relationship with me, she wouldn't have known other Spider-Men and wouldn't have risked her life to help Gwen earn credits! ”
Peter flipped himself over like a pancake and lay face down on the table on the island, tilting his head sideways to allow half of his cheek to come into close contact with the cold magnet countertop, relieving the burning sensation of the alcohol.
"Why don't you say that the dinosaurs went extinct because you weren't born 66 million years ago?" Stark said angrily.
But Peter was stunned, and then let out an even louder wail, and said, "Why was I not born 66 million years ago?" That way I can solve both the extinction of the dinosaurs and the trouble I'm facing right now! ”
Schiller only found it a little funny, Spider-Man was often trapped in all sorts of similar troubles because of his high moral standards, and the root cause was that Peter Parker didn't have the word "shirk" in his head.
"Turning into a dinosaur won't solve your troubles, Peter." Schiller put it quite tactfully, and Peter really didn't need anyone more to remind him to face reality.
"But it can make me ......"
"Can allow you to escape for a while, 'for the time being.'" Schiller bit the last word hard, and he put his elbow over the back of the sofa chair and looked at Peter.
Peter staggered up from the island table, and turned back to the fireplace, and instead of bringing himself a chair, he sat directly on the floor in the corner between Schiller's and Stark's couches, and scratched at his hair with both hands, looking anxious and irritable.
"I suggest you consider my previous suggestion, Peter." Schiller brought it up again, then added: "I stand by my opinion, if there is a more shocking fact in front of George, then you can get through this." ”
"But George already knows that Gwen is ......"
"But he doesn't know yet that there are rumors between you and Tony, or that Gwen can also have some rumors with Tony, or between Tony and Steve, and between you and Tony, and Tony and Gwen...... Anyway, there can be some rumors among all of you, and trust me, it's a lot more impactful than Spider-Man or something. ”
"Oh God!"
Stark pressed his back tightly against the back of the chair, as if he was going to put a film on the chair, and then disappeared into the room, but he couldn't leave yet, he stared at Schiller and asked.
"You swear this is the first time you've thought of it, a sudden inspiration, and a joke, never a viable part of a plan that could have been put into practice, and will not be ...... in the future."
"It's a pity." Schiller handed Peter a biscuit and said, "It was premeditated, thought through, and the most feasible part of a plan that should have been put into practice long ago—if you still don't have a public spouse in the legal sense." ”
"What's wrong with the world?" Stark began to roll his eyes again, and poked his finger into the flesh of his cheek, muttering indistinctly, "Why can't a lonely prodigal son still be left alone?" ”
"People give meaning to beauty in a certain part of social life, and if you don't appreciate it, then they kick you out, and it's fair." Schiller said with a smile.
Stark turned his eyes to him and said, "It's been a long time since you've said anything so philosophical, but you're still talking nonsense and always trying to pollute my brain." ”
"Peter, I think you should go, because George is almost out of work, and you don't have the possibility of becoming a dinosaur yet." Steve glanced at Peter, straightened up and pointed to the bottle of wine that was placed on the surface of the island, and said, "But you can have a little more courage before you go, just don't drink too much." ”
"Nope." Peter got up from the ground on his hands and feet, covered his head and said, "That's just a joke, courage doesn't come from industrial brewing, and if I give George the impression of a drunkard, George will kill me faster than that Cretaceous asteroid." ”
Peter let out a deep sigh, the deep sorrow on his face that had already shed the immaturity of his youth, and also added some mature charm to his always cheerful and energetic youthful temperament, Stark encouraged, "Keep it as you are, George will understand you." ”
"God willing, it's better to be so." Peter said as he walked towards the door, but he was so quick to stand up that the alcohol that had not been fully digested rushed through his brain, so that when another dark shadow landed through the portal, his faint spider sensation did not stop him from walking on.
The two collided head-on, and with a "bang", Peter was fine, and the other figure sat on the ground with his nose covered, and when he heard the cry of pain, Peter almost jumped up like a thorn in his feet.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry! I didn't look at the road when I walked, you're all right, Loki. ”
Loki got up from the ground, rubbed his nose and forehead vigorously, and said, "Why do I have to bump into something every time I appear in front of Tony Stark, while he can sit in the distance and laugh at it all with his idiot laughter?" ”
Then, he waved his hand at Peter to signal that he was okay and told him what to do, and after Peter left, Loki walked over to the fireplace and put his elbow on top of it, and asked, "Is there any wine?" ”
Schiller put down his coffee glass and stood up, took a bottle of tequila from the wine rack under the cupboard, poured a glass of bottom, and turned to look for the ice, and as he shoveled the ice, he said, "It seems that every time you come to me, you are frowning." ”
"Does anyone walk into a psychiatrist's office laughing?" Loki retorted unceremoniously, "Then he should see a psychiatrist." ”
"What's wrong with you? Who's messing with you again? Is it Thor, your brother, or the god-king of Asgard? ”
"It's a very coincidental fact that it's not him this time." Loki sneered, and then the almost usual sorrow that Peter had just now crept up on his face, and said, "But he's not entirely innocent, it's Friggia." ”
But then Steve laughed, Loki and Stark looked at him together, Steve covered his mouth with his hand and said, "I guess none of you have been paying attention to our animal friends lately, Spider-Man, Pikachu, and that raccoon have been playing together, and they have Loki the crocodile with them." ”
"I guess the reason you rushed to Earth is the same as the crocodile Loki." Steve looked up at Loki and said, "Frigga is urging you to get married." ”
"Perfect reasoning." Loki commented sincerely, and then said in a tone of lovelessness: "Frigga is better than Odin, of course, this is the result of my plan, I think she will always be a little better than the father of the gods, but I have overlooked one fact, a very big one. ”
"Now there are several Lokis in the whole of Asgard, and after Frigga interrogated them one by one, she found that Loki's marriage rate is pitiful, especially compared to Thor, most Lokis don't even talk about love, and even have lonely old people for life."
This fact made Frigga very panicked, and she thought that if I couldn't get enough love from my extended family with the Father of the Gods, then I should at least start a small family of my own to get enough love from my family.
"Then, she took a very old and traditional way of choosing a match for me – a blind date."
Stark covered his eyes, but Steve said, "Do you mean the networking event?" This is also normal, for young people with a relatively narrow social network, networking activities are a good way to get to know the opposite sex, and Peggy and I met in a military friendship. ”
"No, it's not the kind of party where a group of people sit together and drink and talk and play games, it's older than that." Loki shook his head.
"Is it one-on-one? That's a bit embarrassing indeed. Stark said this, but his expression was clearly gloating, and he raised his tone a little and said, "You must have used your sharp words and clever mind to make every blind date retreat, right?" ”
But Loki shook his head again, stretched out two fingers and squeezed them together, and said, "It's a little bit older." ”
At this moment, the two people sitting next to the sofa didn't know what Loki was referring to, Loki sighed deeply, and then said.
"It's easy to say - I find a place to hide, and whoever can defeat the other stalkers and find me wins."
