Chapter 309: A long-lost rest
"Thor, we're here, it's time for us to go."
Raccoon Rocket carefully tucked the aether particles into his pocket, and he couldn't wait for the aether particles to be reshaped into reality gems after he returned.
"Wait a minute, I have one more thing I want to be sure."
Fat Thor nodded and was about to follow, and then raised his right hand as if he remembered something, with complex emotions such as uneasiness, nervousness, and anticipation in his eyes.
"Buzz--- dang!"
Thor's hammer crossed the spatial distance between Asgard and Earth and flew into his hand.
Fat Thor's hand holding Thor's hammer was trembling, and the look in his eyes was only joyful, and the whole person was as happy as a child who got his favorite toy, and he couldn't help muttering to himself:
"I'm still qualified, I'm still qualified, I'm still qualified, hahaha! Woowoo"
Thor cried and laughed like a five-hundred-pound man, but Rocket and Laura present were all serious and did not laugh at his behavior in the slightest.
"In our time and space, there is no such powerful person as you on the earth. Thor lost his mother during the Dark Elf invasion and broke up with his girlfriend shortly thereafter.
In Ragnarok, his father died, and then his sister, who wanted to seize power, killed his best friends such as the Three Warriors and a large number of people, and he was blinded in one eye.
Finally, after a lot of hardship, he escaped from the ruined homeland with the rest of his people, but he was unlucky enough to meet Thanos, that damn guy. If we hadn't been lucky enough to meet us with the Guardians of the Galaxy ... It is estimated that he will not even have a chance to take revenge. ”
Raccoon Rocket said this with a feeling, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes when he talked about his small group, which was missing more than half of the members.
Lao stretched out his hand and touched the little raccoon's furry head soothingly, and was about to comfort him with a few words, when Rachel, who had been patrolling the surrounding area, sent back a warning report:
"The NSA team has approached the scene and is expected to arrive in about seventy seconds."
The drone in charge of the report is using an external release, so both Raccoon Rocket and Thor hear it.
"Time is of the essence, so I won't say more. I'll take care of it here, good luck to you, and. ”
Speaking of which, Laura crouched down and whispered close to the little raccoon's ear:
"I've gathered a lot of information about Thanos and his dark order after the Battle of New York, so keep an eye out for the nebula when you get back. Unlike Gamora, she has essentially been transformed into a mechanical creation by Thanos, and her stored memories can be read. ”
Rocket nodded thoughtfully, and then stood by Thor's side.
"Thank you, Laura Crawford."
After saying this, the two of them activated the red and white shuttle suits together and teleported back to their original world.
Laura, who watched them leave, also heard the roar of car engines from far and near. She threw a golden flame at the withered corpse of Malekith, and the energy in her body flew away from the place before the visitor appeared.
"Sir, we heard a sonic boom as we rushed into the scene, and it is assumed that Laura Crawford had left, and it seemed that she did not want to deal with us.
In addition, there was an emaciated corpse at the scene that could not be seen clearly and was being burned by the golden flames, and we immediately took emergency measures to extinguish the fire, but to no avail. ”
The communications received by agents from the scene were very effective, with the "crackling" of the flames as they burned violently, as well as the somewhat noisy movement of people and the spraying of fire extinguishers.
"Well, got it. Your next task is to continue to try to extinguish the flames, and at the same time, record the energy indicators of the scene with the various instruments you carry, sort them out, and send them to me. ”
"Roger, boss."
The man sitting in the office hung up. The spacious, retro interior was not lit, and the soft daylight that filtered in through the window only shone below his shoulders.
And on his right chest, there was a small Holy Trinity coat of arms that shone golden in the sunlight.
"A golden flame that even Chokoin can incinerate... Tut-tut, Laura Crawford, I didn't expect your strength to have reached this point, interesting, so interesting! ”
The man's true face was still hidden in the darkness, only the red light of the cigar flickered and disappeared.
"Richard's life experience is not brilliant, and his strength is mediocre. So where does your mysterious power come from? It seems that these individuals under the Order are becoming more and more distracted, and they don't even know any information. ”
The mysterious man removed the cigar he was holding, his fingers tapping his fingers on the thick wooden desk. Finally, with a decision in his heart, he slowly stood up with his hands on the edge of the table, and said to himself:
"It seems that if we want that plan to be successfully implemented, we old guys have to do it!"
.................
Unaware of the fact that she is being targeted by the people behind the Trinity, Laura says hello to Tony, who is staying in Greenwich to deal with the aftermath, and then takes the Pelican to the long-lost Crawford Manor.
The old butler, who was enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea, was very happy to see Laura, and personally prepared black tea and various small desserts for her.
"Your craftsmanship is as amazing as ever."
In the face of his own young lady's praise, the old housekeeper's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit. He is actually much older than Laura's father Richard, and has been close friends with her grandfather for many years, and Richard and Laura can be said to have grown up under his watch.
The old butler has always regarded Richard's suicide as his responsibility for failing to take care of him, and he has felt guilty all these years.
Laura suddenly showed a special interest in the archaeological documents left behind by Richard when she was about to graduate from college, which annoyed him for a while, and the old butler did not want to see her follow Richard's path.
"Whew~ It's comfortable, it's really comfortable~"
Laura quickly and gracefully finished the various small snacks and spread them out on the chaise longue in the courtyard, stretched and closed her eyes, enjoying the afternoon sun with a contented expression.
The long battle was finally over, and Katie's injuries were recovering steadily, and Laura, who was relieved, soon fell into a good sleep for the first time in a long time.
When the old butler, who was holding the teapot and the freshly baked snacks, saw this scene, he was afraid of disturbing her, so he quietly tiptoed back and left.
He remembered that it seemed that three years ago it was also such a leisurely afternoon, and Laura was resting in her chair like this, and when she woke up, she became no longer entangled in the past, and the old butler thought that this was really a good thing.
