Marvel's Speedster

After a brief conversation, Betty Ross hung up the phone gently, and she sat alone in front of the dressing table, staring at herself in the mirror in a daze.

Betty had been trying to figure out what was going on in her heart for some time. Originally, she should have stayed at Carl Waugh University in Virginia at this time, and continued to be a promising female doctor in people's minds. She even had a suitor named Reiner de Samson, who was a psychologist. It is said that He is very academically accomplished, his personality looks good, and he feels quite considerate. He is a well-known example of a good man among his colleagues.

If the previous life trajectory continues, maybe one day she will completely forget the existence of her ex-boyfriend Bruce Banner, accept Reiner's feelings, get married and have children, and live like an ordinary woman.

But all this changed after the trip to Washington, D.C., as if an invisible hand had quietly plucked the string of her destiny.

Ever since following her father's will to meet the young man he admired, Betty's thoughts have changed -- that's not to say that her emotional world has added another color so quickly. That kind of sentimental and fickle girl -- but her academic ability, which she has always been proud of, encountered an unsurpassable peak and failed miserably. In that conversation, she could often clearly feel that the other party's gentle and polite attitude implied supercilious arrogance, which annoyed Betty, but she had to admit that the debate really opened her eyes.

Perhaps this is the reason why she suddenly made up her mind after several weeks of self-torture, resigned from Carl Waugh University where she had worked for several years in a flash, and came to New York to join the other's laboratory despite the persuasion of her friends. The rational choice made by a high-level academic level is definitely not for some reason that I don’t want to admit.

Yes, it must be so!

Counting 480 cheeks, clenching fists to encourage myself

To be honest, she is not an overly rebellious girl. As the daughter of a high-level general, Betty has received a good and complete education. She knows that although her father is conservative and stubborn, he loves her unreservedly. Because of Karen's untimely death, there is a lack of an important communication channel between father and daughter, and sometimes some friction inevitably arises, but the father and daughter will still get back together after the incident, so Betty usually considers her father's opinion.

But this does not mean that she will obey his command completely like the soldiers under her father, without her own opinions at all.

Betty knew that since she was an adult, her father had been choosing a good future partner for herself, but she had never met a satisfactory candidate. Bruce was close to himself once, but he never got the general's favor, and then there was a major experimental accident, and then he disappeared, maybe this is the reason why the guilty Betty was cold to poor Mr. Banner forget.

As for Reiner de Samson, the general's impression of him is not as deep as that of Bruce. Although the two men occasionally meet and chat for a few words, they seem to be quite harmonious on the outside, but as a daughter, Betty knows that her father is not at all. Put that psychologist in your sights.

Perhaps every father subconsciously wants to choose a partner who has some similar qualities to himself for his beloved daughter, so is the Ross‧ Byrne he admires very much that person?

Betty is confused by this.

In terms of professional level, Ross's ability is definitely better than any scholar she has ever met. Except for the field of biology, he has extremely high attainments in various sciences, rich experience and knowledge, and has many unusual and novel theories It is because she has never heard of it, so that his attraction to Betty greatly exceeds other people including Bruce, but Bruce is not as humorous and interesting as Ross, let alone Ross's (becd) youth and achievements.

It is impossible to make a choice quickly, Betty does not know what is the correct judgment, but she is clear about one thing, she has already become interested in Ross because of her interest in academics, which is a very dangerous precursor.

Isn't that how feelings happen?

First there is interest, curiosity arises, and I want to know more, then the curiosity turns into affection as the understanding deepens, then the affection sublimates into love, and finally enters the stage of passionate love... It's like following the melody Dance and be brought into the rhythm unconsciously.

Betty is a very rational person, she saw this possibility, so she resisted instinctively.

What's more, there are quite a few girls with ambiguous relationships around Ross. It is clearly recorded in the newspapers. Whether it is Mary Jane, who he has known since childhood, or Gwen, the daughter of the local police chief, they are all very good women, or others What kind of gossip, presumably they are not so easy to shrink back, the father only knows how to encourage, and has no idea of ​​Betty's embarrassment...

Unaware that her train of thought was getting more and more deviated from her original idea, Betty jumped on the bed and buried her head deeply with a pillow when she thought of what was bothering her.

big big big

On the other side of the phone, after Ross finished talking with Betty, he immediately dispatched his staff to arrange reception for the guests, while he stood outside the observation room, watching through the glass wall that Bronski was gradually adapting to his strength after the transformation. , while dialing the general's private number.

The first time the call was not connected, the second time Ross called again, and was picked up by the general's cronies. It seemed that there was some kind of exercise going on there. , as if they were hunting some kind of dangerous monster.

The other party didn't have time to explain, and hung up again after hastily prevaricating a few words. This kind of reaction was a bit rude, but Ross just smiled slightly, and he probably guessed what happened.

If he guessed right, maybe that big green guy is about to jump onto the stage.

An hour later, his guess was confirmed.

General Thaddeus Ross himself connected via video chat, apologizing for what happened.

"General, it seems that your condition is not very good." Ross sat on the chair leisurely, and teased the image on the screen.

Opposite him, the general in distress was wearing a camouflage uniform soaked by rain and sweat. Behind him was a lawn shrouded in rain. Several wrecked armored vehicles were parked on the green lawn. At the moment the sky was changing It was getting darker, and only the orange-red flames could be seen burning in the vague ruins, and a large cloud of black smoke rolled up with the raging fire, and even the majestic heavy rain could not be extinguished for a while.

It looks like they've just had a really tough fight, and the victory doesn't belong to the military.

The general was indeed in a bad mood, so he snorted and didn't answer directly.

"Remember that guy we talked about, the green monster?"

"definitely." Ross raised his eyebrows, as if very curious.

"Here it comes, and our capture operation suffers yet another failure, which is abhorrent..."

The general's face was livid, and he couldn't help cursing in a low voice, beckoning his subordinates to lift the wounded soldiers into his car, and then turned his head to the screen again.

"Betty has arrived at your place by this time. I'll give her to you. You must protect her and don't let her come into contact with strange people." This request was a bit strange, but Ross knew what he was referring to, so he said agree to come down.

His attitude comforted the general a little.

"I may be busy in the next period of time, and I won't be able to go to New York to see you, but I have already done work with my friends in the procurement committee. The Army will place some orders one after another. I hope this can be of some help to you." The general said bluntly said, At the moment the battlefield cleaning has come to an end, he intends to end the private communication.

"General, maybe I can give you some help." Ross stared at the screen and said slowly.

"Help?" The general smiled disapprovingly, and then suddenly reacted.

"You mean those Mutants from Overwatch?" His expression was suspicious. "Are they reliable?"

It is not that the military has never recruited Mutant soldiers before, but there will always be all kinds of troubles later, either because of discrimination and a tragedy caused by colleagues, or the X-Men or Magneto brothers from the Mutant Academy came to the door and forcibly Snatching away, every time things go wrong, it is very difficult to end, especially when it involves human body research, they can neither evade the professor's spiritual search, nor can they resist Magneto's magnetic field attack, so it has been fruitless for decades. Fang's intention to recruit Mutant is getting weaker and weaker.

After these years of painful lessons, although Xavier's School has disappeared and the Brotherhood has migrated to the Old World, all parties are still reluctant to act rashly for a while.

However, in the eyes of the laboratory, there is definitely no problem. Now Ross himself is the representative of the strongest power in the North American continent.

"I said reliable, and they are reliable." Ross replied with a smile.

The matter is important and cannot be decided lightly, the general bowed his head and thought about it.

While he was thinking, Ross looked sideways at the observation room. At the moment, Bronski had initially mastered the transformation ability, and was trying to fight against the itchy Juggernaut. The two big guys kept colliding with each other. Let the ground tremble slightly, if the walls and floors hadn't been specially reinforced, maybe they would have carved a few big holes in the room by now.

The general thought quickly for a minute, and promised to send an invitation to Ross for the next operation.

This is just an attempt, but Ross can imagine that once the military endorses it in the future, there will not be too much resistance to the development and growth of Overwatch, and he will also directly control a powerful force.

Close the video, Ross just stood up, there was a loud noise from the observation room, a huge yellow titan was forced into the air by the Juggernaut inside, smashing the tempered glass wall to pieces.

Glass shards scattered on the ground, Bronski's body was propelled by huge amounts of force, and slid over ten feet on the slippery ground, before being stopped by Ross' raised toes.

"It seems that you guys are having a lot of fun, do you want to join me?" Ross asked with a smile.

Emerging awkwardly from the hole, Ross's titular cousin smacked his lips and complained.

"I can't catch you again, this guy is more interesting."

Bronski got up awkwardly. He was careless just now. Although the opponent had almost no fighting skills and relied entirely on his body to fight, but his strength was too great, and he was thrown outside when he missed it.

Although he has not yet fully mastered the transformation, and there is still room for improvement in future strength, but this contest has dispelled the ambition he had just established.

Ross glanced at Bronski and smiled inwardly. It was his arrangement that Juggernaut appeared here. He wanted to teach Bronski a profound lesson and let him know his status.

But Cousin Marco is not so easy to get rid of. He has been eating and drinking in the laboratory for almost half a year, and he has long been tired of staying there, and now he wants to go out to relax.

"What tasks do you have recently? Don't always ask me to take care of the children. I'm almost rusty from staying here. Don't forget that I'm your cousin."

Juggernaut patted Yue Xiong's breast carelessly, his muscles trembling wildly.

"Well, there will be." Ross touched|touched his forehead helplessly, and turned his gaze to the screen.

Following his gaze, the two people next to him saw on the screen that the green titan that the general had just sent was clenching his fists and roaring to the sky. .
