Chapter 232: The Black Canary and the Eagle Eye
"It was a misunderstanding."
Old Barton opened his mouth to explain something, but in the end, he could only mumble dryly.
When everyone heard this, they didn't continue to say anything on this topic, but Ashley's face was visibly gloomy, originally she was hoping to improve her relationship with her father, but now it seems that she is a little self-inflicted.
And Carla and Pietro rolled their eyes even more, they didn't look down on old Barton's private life, but they just despised this old man who was very old but played very much.
"Ashley, my princess, believe me, I'm all for work, and I haven't touched any of these women." Barton approached Ashley's side and tried to clear up the misunderstanding.
But Ashley was clearly not prepared to give him that chance. "Does it have anything to do with me, anyway, you and my mother are divorced, and it has nothing to do with me how you like to play."
Hearing this, old Barton immediately became confused, this time, he really didn't lie, he had been here so many times, and he had never done anything here.
"Ashley, I really."
Barton tried to defend himself, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Venom. "Don't talk about it, old man, haven't you noticed Ashley's hatred for you, you're really a good example."
"Parasite, it's none of your business, I swear, if you provoke the relationship between me and my daughter again, I'll pull you out and throw you into the volcano, don't believe you!" Barton clenched his fists.
But Venom was undaunted, and he showed his terrifying and hideous face, laughing. "I'm so scared, what's the matter, the famous Hawkeye dares to do it, do you want me to tell me about the 'glorious history' you left behind in S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"You!." Old Barton was angry in his heart, but the next moment, he seemed to have been poured cold water, and his momentum softened suddenly. How do you know?"
"Ha, I parasitized a lot of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in that war, and I learned a lot of interesting things from their minds." Venom licked his mouth and grinned.
"Alright, don't talk about that."
Seeing that the topic was gradually moving towards Hawkeye's dark history, Kara interrupted Venom and Barton's words, and she took a sip of the wine on the table before continuing.
"We've now focused on Red Skull, I've been in contact with his variants in another world, and since he has the audacity to yell at the superheroes, it's clear that he has the certainty of victory, and we have to guard against it."
"Yes, there are only a few days left, we have to be ready." Pietro spoke. "We don't know the details of Red Skull, let alone what kind of power he has."
"Judging from the forces controlled by the Red Skull, he should be the most powerful organization leader on the planet today, which means that the resources he can use are unimaginable, and I remember that the vibranium in his hand is enough to build a fortress." Barton sighed.
"A fortress made of vibranium, my God." Pietro looked at his vibranium prosthesis and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
After using vibranium for so long, no one knows the power of vibranium better than Pietro, this powerful metal that can absorb attacks is an indestructible existence, if the Red Skull is really going to make such a move, their rescue operation this time can be described as even more difficult.
"Silence, someone's coming."
Suddenly, Melissa spoke, and when everyone heard the voice, they all fell silent, and they all looked at the door of the private room, wondering who would interrupt them at this time.
The next moment, the door was pushed open by a white palm.
I saw a blonde woman walking in slowly, she was wearing a black bodysuit, her slender waist was matched with this dress, her bumpy figure was perfectly displayed, and she was also wearing black mesh stockings on her lower body, and a pair of beautiful legs made people think about it.
The woman closed the door casually, looked around, her eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally stopped on old Barton, the blonde woman smiled slightly, and spoke.
"It seems that I am not wrong."
"Well, actually, girl, you're on the wrong side, we didn't call the escort lady."
Old Barton blinked, struggled to focus his blurred vision, and replied.
The atmosphere that had been silent became even more silent under Barton's words, and Pietro and Ashley glanced at each other, both seeing the speechlessness in each other's eyes.
"You're Miss Lance, aren't you?" At this time, it was Carla who took the initiative to come out.
Kara came up to Lance and smiled and stretched out her hand. "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Lance."
Originally, Lance made Barton's inexplicable words a little unnatural, but under Kara's actions, her face was much better, and when she shook Kara's hand, Lance also smiled.
"Just call me Dinah, it's nice to meet you."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to, my eyes."
"I know, glaucoma, right?" Dinah turned her gaze back to Barton, and at this time, looking at the old man, Dinah couldn't help but feel a hint of familiarity.
Like, too much like that.
With the same hairstyle and beard, if it weren't for the fact that the two looked a little different, Dinah might really think that this was the aging Green Arrow Oliver Quinn.
"First meeting, Mr. Barton, I'm Dinah Lans, from another Earth, a reserve member of the Justice League, you can also call me, Black Canary."
"Hello, hello."
I haven't heard this kind of self-introduction for a long time, which makes Barton feel a little tearful, at this time, he really seems to have returned to the time of the Avengers, watching heroes emerge one by one, and the memories of the past come to him, which can't help but make Barton feel a pain in his heart.
Struggling for half a life, adrift for half a life, Barton has always felt the loneliness in his heart.
He feels that he has never been able to find his own foothold, he is the best brother in the eyes of the heroes, but in the eyes of the villains, he is not even a real hero.
He is like a twilight eagle with no sense of belonging, who only wants to find his own salvation and the 'nest' that can truly accept him.
The last eagle's nest to house him was the Avengers, but it was all ruined forty-five years ago, and in those years, Old Barton couldn't find the next place where he could devote himself to service.
No one knew how important it was to Hawkeye to join the team, just as proud as he was when he first joined the Avengers, as long as someone trusted him
Now, he can finally face himself.
Old Barton only felt that his blood was boiling, and he proudly puffed up his chest and said seriously.
"Call me Clint, Dinah, I'm a member of the Avengers, codename - Hawkeye!"
