Marvel's Speedster

"A dozen eggs, four dollars; a can, one five dollars; a bag of Hershey's chocolates, two dollars..."

The chubby cashier in the convenience store bulged her cheeks, feebly counting the total amount of merchandise on the counter. Jane Foster stood opposite her, lowering her head and checking her wallet repeatedly, hoping to find the money in the gap between the shriveled wallet. A few hidden coins came out, but she looked and looked, and finally had no choice but to give up her efforts.

"Tomatoes are too expensive, can they be cheaper?" Jane asked expectantly, perhaps because of her busy work, her expression seemed stiff and tired.

....... The tomatoes produced on the same day are more expensive, so replace them with those produced two days ago. The cashier twisted|swayed her fat body, stared at her dissatisfiedly, and threw the tomato box aside with a "snap".

"If you want to buy something cheap, how about a piece of fresh pork leg?" Another clerk stared at the TV and casually promoted the product to her.

"No, thank you, I'm a vegetarian. Although I was coldly received, Jane still replied with a pleasant face." Can I use a discount coupon? I cut a few from the newspaper and it hasn't expired yet.

"...OK." The cashier's expression became even uglier.

After taking out a handful of coins to pay the bill, Jane hurriedly left the convenience store as if she was running away. She didn't even dare to look back at the other person's face, as if she was the one who was rude and not the other person.

At the moment, the training course that Mary Jane participated in has ended, and the next course will not reopen until four months later. Losing this place with a good environment and a decent salary, Jane Foster's life suddenly fell into difficulty In the process, I had to find a new part-time job.

Walking on the sidewalk with the bag in her arms, surrounded by bright lights and people coming and going, Jane looked lonely and depressed.

Because of the incident in Harlem, she had to flee from the original rental place. Losing a deposit is still a trivial matter, and losing the research equipment purchased with years of savings is what annoys Jane the most. You must know that some of them are tools that she has modified by herself, and the outside world can't buy them. In order to fill the vacancy, she had to spend all her salary as a teaching assistant on reordering equipment, and she had to save as much as possible in her daily life to make ends meet. Sometimes she was even reduced to the point where she couldn’t afford to eat, and she had to rely on cheap candies to supplement her calories of

Originally, she could live in the home of Daisy, a black-haired girl who is a student and friend, but Daisy does not live alone. She also has a friend who even raised a horse. After Jane joined, their living space became very cramped and narrow. Although Daisy and her friends were very enthusiastic, in order not to cause inconvenience to them and to facilitate her own research work, Jane moved in after a period of time. I still bid farewell to them, which added another rent expense to her daily life, and she urgently needs more money to make up for it.

Looking back on today's application, the strong sense of shame immediately felt like being slapped with the palm of the hand, causing burning pain on Jane's cheeks.

"Since you are a graduate of a prestigious school and have been working for four years, why do you still rely on odd jobs to earn money to support yourself? Do you have a problem with your ability, or do you have bad habits?" A sharp voice asked.

After going back and forth several times with the utmost sincerity, Jane still lost her job as a governess because the housewife of that family had doubts about her status quo.

When she was locked out of the door by the other party and stood frozen in the cold wind, Jane almost felt as if she had been stripped of all her clothes, leaving her no dignity at all.

But despite this, life still has to go on, and she still has to move forward step by step according to her own life plan.

The attic where Jane rented was not far from the convenience store, and she received a call from Daisy on the way.

"Hi, Jane." Daisy's voice was still as enthusiastic as ever. "Is the job done? You should move back to live. Carlone misses you very much. Although she can't understand what you are studying, you have a common language."

"I miss Carlo Lin too, send my regards to her." Jane's nose was sore, she wanted to agree, but the other party was also very difficult and couldn't add trouble to them, so she could only deliberately change the subject, and declined Dai Qian's kindness against her will . "I'm doing pretty well, I can live in the staff dormitory of the school, but my equipment|equipment will be placed with you for the time being."

"No problem, you can keep it for as long as you want, and we'll be relieved if you invite us." Dai Qian agreed with a big grin.

They definitely don't know that the college's current dormitory placement is also very tight. Although Jane has signed up, she will have to wait another four months to get a chance. Before that, she can only spend money to rent a damp and dark attic. Endure life in the company of cockroaches.

After the two greeted each other a few words, the phone hung up, and Jane's mood improved a lot when she heard her friend's voice.

But even such a good mood didn't last long. When she turned the intersection and was about to enter the rented apartment, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and stopped a black woman who was carrying luggage out in panic.

"Mrs. Warren, please don't do this. I'll get the rent together soon."

"Then tell me when you have collected enough money!" The black landlady pushed Jane away impatiently, spilling the cheap food in her hand all over the floor.

"We live on rent, not charitable tycoons. Since we can't pay the rent or take out the mortgage, then get out of here as soon as possible, lest I ask the court to send you a subpoena, otherwise just send the money up obediently , I don’t care whether you are going to be a street girl or a university teacher, if you don’t have money, just get out of here.” The landlady hugged her thick arms and scolded fiercely.

Several renters came out to watch the sound, but no one was willing to persuade her. Jane stared blankly at the landlord's frothy mouth, her face was extremely pale, and her whole body was icy cold. The humiliation was beaten to pieces, and the soul almost escaped from the body and floated into the air.

Just when Jane's eyes were blackened, a young man's voice interrupted the landlady's chatter, and at the same time a pair of strong hands supported her precarious body.

"What happened, Jane?" Ross' face appeared in front of her, and Jane grabbed his arm subconsciously, almost as if in a dream.

Before she could speak, the landlady rushed over aggressively.

"Who are you? She owes me two months' rent. I took your friend in with good intentions. She repays me like this..."

Before she finished speaking, a check sealed her mouth.

"Jane is my ex-wife, is there a problem?" Ross stared at the landlord and asked, the fat black woman immediately shook her head desperately, grabbed the check and smiled broadly.

"Ex... ex-wife?" Jane opened her eyes wide in horror and stammered.

"That's right, the children are still waiting for you to visit." Ross laughed narrowly with teasing malice, seeing that Jane's usual quiet expression became very lively, "He suddenly felt much better.

"Our baby?" Jane cried out, her brown eyes widening and her full lips forming an almost perfect circle.

"Definitely." Ross held her shoulder tenderly, expressing his love like no one else. "I know you're a lesbian and I'm not, but that's no reason for you to give up on yourself, so...come back."

Jane's mind was dizzy, her thinking suddenly froze, and she didn't know what he was talking about. Naturally, this appearance was a tacit attitude in the eyes of outsiders.

Seeing her dazed by his prank, Ross snickered and turned to look at the landlord.

"Someone will come to pick up Jane's things tomorrow, and you will be responsible for safekeeping them tonight. Is there a problem?" He asked without emotion, and when the landlady's eyes met his, he felt a sudden shock in his heart.

"No problem, no problem." She swallowed involuntarily, and patted her huge breasts repeatedly to reassure.

"That's the best." Ross said lightly, then turned around and slowly walked out of the side street with the dizzy Jane on his arm.

After walking for several minutes, she finally realized that she hastily broke away from Ross's arm, and was wiping away tears, a tissue was brought to her cheek.

"I'm not a lesbian." Jane took the tissue and argued incoherently, she didn't know what to say at this time.

"I know." Ross smiled and retracted his arms, and stood beside her, looking down at her.

The two stood facing each other on the side of the road. Outside was the busy Central Park West Avenue. Lights passed by quickly, making their shadows sway in the cool evening wind.

"It seems that every time we meet is not the right time, MJ once invited you to be a guest at home, why didn't you agree to her?" Ross asked slowly.

"Don't say that, I also want to thank you for helping me out. I will pay you back the money after a while. I didn't agree to Mary Jane because we have to work." Jane wiped her tears and laughed at herself

"In addition to part-time work, I also work as a teaching assistant in the college. Dai Qian also wants to graduate as soon as possible. She also needs to run a cake shop with her friends. We really don't have time."

"Going to New Mexico again?" Ross asked casually, Jane had mentioned this before.

"Yes, I have an appointment with Dr. Selvig, and we will leave in two months, and Daisy will also go with me then." Talking about her work [Jane's expression recovered a little bit.

She raised her head to look at Ross, feeling that she was wrinkled like a Cinderella, while the other looked like a nobleman riding a white horse in full costume, and she took a step back involuntarily.

Ross didn't realize it, and stood quietly in front of her with his hands behind his back. The light shone from behind, covering his figure in a hazy halo, looking like an Angel who descended from the clouds to save the suffering.

"The laboratory can provide you with sponsorship, but I want to ask, do you think this kind of life is worth it? If you are willing to change your mind, maybe life will be much easier

Ross stared into Jane's eyes, as if he could gaze into the depths of her heart.

"Definitely worth it." Jane replied without thinking. "I have wanted to be an astrophysicist like my father since I was very young. This is my goal in life. I heard Mary Jane say that you must insist on reading papers every day. No matter how busy you are at work, you will not relax. Do you think that Isn't it worth it?"

Ross was silent for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders, feeling suddenly relieved.

"That's right, we all have something to pursue. The world will give us a lot in return, and it will take something from us as compensation. Sometimes people have to change themselves to adapt to the needs of the environment, but there must always be some persistence. Is that right?" He said with a smile, took out his phone and uttered a secret word, then took Jane's hand and led her in another direction.

"Where are we going?" Jane staggered and shouted after her.

"I'll find you a place to live." Ross replied without looking back.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the luxury apartment on West 57th Street.

The interior is warm and pleasant, the air is naturally refreshing, and the warm light reflects on the smooth furniture surface, exuding excellent luster.

Neither Mary Jane nor Gwen was there, and they were alone in the huge room.

It was the first time for Jane to come to such a place. She walked to the window and looked down. The height of this place was unbelievably high. The altitude of more than a thousand feet made people feel a kind of tranquility away from the world. The stars were shining brightly, as if she could touch Mo directly with her hands, but she could see the bustling street with thousands of lights when looking down, reminding her that she was still in the world.

m

Stayed with me and Gwen in the lab recently, this place is free, you can live in our house, even look after the house for us. " Ross's voice sounded leisurely behind Jane

, Casually told her the password of the intelligent system, through these instructions, Jane can directly operate the central computer to adjust all the room facilities according to her needs.

"It's not appropriate, this is your and MJ's home..." Jane was about to decline, but Ross raised his index finger to her as an irresistible gesture.

"Remember your dream, go for it, don't waste your talent. 17

He spoke slowly, his eyes were clear and transparent, Jane looked at him, and suddenly forgot what she wanted to say. .
