Ryan took on the task, which was not a mission.

"I'll approve your vacation, and when you're done with this, you'll start taking it off, and remember to say hello to Mr. Varna for me." Hill said.

"Thank you."

After he left, Coulson smiled, "Actually, I should have guessed that he would refuse." ”

Hill also hooked the corners of his mouth: "The director is right, he is indeed a thorn." ”

"People with extraordinary abilities are usually mavericks, after all, this is not his job. I don't know why he refused this time, but at least he can communicate, unlike Tony's one or two sentences. ”

"Such two people, you still choose to let him go?"

"Sooner or later, they're going to have to work together, aren't they? Just create a chance for them to meet, and this time he and Tony are on the same side, and I hope they can build a good friendship. ”

"Well, let's find someone to have a meeting, think about how we can get Bronski to voluntarily refuse, we only have one chance."

After going downstairs, Ryan called Antonia, and the two boarded the plane to New York shortly after meeting at the airport.

After a short flight, Ryan set foot on New York soil for the first time.

Unlike Washington, D.C., there are so many people, things and things to watch in this city, which also means that there are endless troubles and ...... Opportunity!

After settling into the hotel, Ryan looked at Antonia and frowned slightly.

"Your face is very pale."

Antonia looked at herself in the mirror.

It may not be enough to describe it as pale, it should be said that it is "bloodless".

There was a momentary look of astonishment on her face, but she quickly calmed down, and just turned her head to look at Ryan.

Ryan thought for a moment and turned his head to look out the window at the bustling city, "It's okay, it's a good place here." Do you have anything uncomfortable? ”

Antonia sat down and felt it carefully for a while before she said, "Not yet, it's just that the spirit seems to be a little weaker than the other day, but it's not obvious." Am I ......"

As she spoke, her fangs erupted uncontrollably.

Then, Antonia touched her teeth and was stunned for a moment, then touched her stomach again.

"I seem to be hungry."

Probably because it was the first time, there was a hint of uneasiness hidden in her eyes.

Ryan stepped forward and gently stroked her head, and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll stay here, and today's meeting will be canceled." With that, he pulled out his phone and texted Tony's former secretary, now CEO of Stark Industries.

"I don't want to affect your affairs......"

"Your business is my business."

Ryan lifted her chin, and she immediately pursed her lips, but she couldn't hide the bulge under her lips.

The index finger swiped slightly upwards from her chin, and the fingertips seemed to have an electric current seeping through the skin into Antonia's flesh, and she couldn't help but grasp the corner of Ryan's clothes trembling slightly, her lips opening slightly, and her breath gradually sank.

After gently pressing her lips, Ryan saw two snow-white fangs, probably because he had his own, so they didn't look weird, but a little intimate and cute.

However, the blood-faded lips and face made her whole person look eerie.

"Don't go out, talk about it when it's dark."

Antonia nodded obediently.

-----------------

Stark Tower.

"What? He canceled? Tony's brow furrowed, his face full of incredulity.

Pepper took the glass from his hand and continued, "Yes, he texted me. ”

Tony was louder: "Or was it canceled by texting?" ”

Pepper pursed his lips helplessly: "He has something to do temporarily, saying that his colleague is sick, so he can't come over, and it will be changed to tomorrow morning." ”

"You agree?"

"Of course, if you are sick, you have to see a doctor, and you can't let others work while sick."

"It's his colleague who is sick, not himself."

"I know, but even if it's just an excuse for him, we don't need to turn people down because of this little thing."

Tony turned around and got a new glass, opened the bottle, and said, "I happened to be in New York during this time, so I agreed to their request and preferred to wait for their people to act together." ”

Pepper smiled and took his glass, "Yes, Mr. Stark, they should all appreciate your generosity and understanding. ”

Tony directly raised the bottle and took a sip, wiped his lips and said, "It's always me who makes others wait for me." ”

"You've waited for me, too."

"He's not a woman."

"Woman, you can wait?"

"Of course not, I mean, I'm not happy right now."

"And what do you want to do?"

"Tell him that I won't wait for him. And if I still don't see him after twelve o'clock tonight, then tomorrow, no, I refuse to see him for the whole year. ”

Pepper sighed, stepped forward to put away his wine, and the two sat down on the sofa, and then she said softly, "Have you read the information I sent you?" ”

"I've seen it."

"Then you should remember what happened in Harlem last month."

Tony nodded.

"The one who came to meet you this time is the one who controls the thunder and lightning with a hammer."

Tony raised an eyebrow: "Oh, it's him." I've checked the information, what's that hammer called? Mjörnir? ”

"Yes! As far as I know, a New Mexico IP address posted a picture of that hammer more than a month ago, and then it was another blond man who was holding the hammer in front of the Trigram Wing Building. ”

"Wow, that's going on? All I remember is that I had a big fight with the whip player. ”

Pepper leaned against his chest and said, "That matter is complicated, and only the people of S.H.I.E.L.D. know about it. But everyone said that the man was Thor later. ”

Tony squinted slightly: "Thor, Thor?" ”

"Yes, I don't know if that's credible or not, but I've already sent you these things."

"Sorry, I didn't have time to watch, you know I'm on vacation."

Pepper patted him lightly on the chest and said angrily, "Whether you see it or not, you must see this person anyway." ”

"If it's Thor, I'll think about it."

"But he ......"

"Okay, I know what you mean, but we can't let the S.H.I.E.L.D. people do whatever they want, whether it's Coulson, Fury, or this ......"

"Ryan."

"Yes, whoever he is, as long as he's from S.H.I.E.L.D., we have to be vigilant. No one knows what those agents are trying to do, especially since the secretary you were looking for suddenly became a Black Widow, and I don't have the little trust I have in S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

"Oh? When you finally say it, I know you're still thinking about her. ”

“……”

Night.

Ryan wakes up Antonia, who is curled up on the bed.

"It's time to eat."
