Marvel's Speedster

After thoroughly dealing with the Mutant matter, when Ross returned to New York, it was already a week later.

The migration of At the moment's new laboratory has officially entered the pre-placement stage, and the previously recruited personnel are now in use. Under the care of professional managers, they carry out various tasks in an orderly manner.

Different from the former laboratory site on 97th Street, the ring-shaped base of this building is made of extremely strong special steel as the backbone, and the outside is covered with thousands of pieces of light green glass-ceramic curtains, making the whole building look like a sea king Poseidon. The crystal palace in winter is generally gorgeous and magnificent. On sunny days, warm sunlight falls into it from the transparent dome, which can make the hall below get excellent lighting effects. In addition to the vast lower part, above the circular base are three Blade buildings with a height of 230 feet that echo each other. Outside the building is the same expansive Tianyuan-style square garden.

Looking out of the window, you can see that the originally empty and deserted square is full of all kinds of vehicles. Many staff and interns are walking between the square and the building, directing people from various companies to undertake The technical workers of the installation business will pack the expensive equipment and equipment in sequence according to their designated procedures. I believe that it will not take long before the basic preparations can be completed.

If there is anything missing here, it is only its most important leaders who are still wandering outside.

This afternoon, Gwen, who had been promoted to a researcher, was standing in the circular corridor on the second floor of the laboratory, assigning tasks to the intern leaders of each group under him, when he suddenly heard a shout of surprise not far away.

"Ross, you are finally back." Mary Jane, who had been waiting silently, saw the return of her boyfriend who had been separated for several days, and immediately rushed into his arms with a bright smile, hugged Ross' neck tightly, and tiptoed hard Hit him.

"Oh," the interns nearby started booing one after another. It is next to the large floor-to-ceiling windows close to the square, and the other side of the railing is also high-strength strengthening glass, with a clear view. From their perspective, the embrace of Ross and Mary Jane is just like a couple in a movie story. Lovers who have crossed the ocean are reunited on the pier on the other side.

In addition to these boring guys, there were also some passing workers who also thought there was something exciting to watch. They turned sideways from the transparent corridor on the third floor and looked down, whistling at the pair of young people.

In the past six months, Ross has been quite famous, and his personality is not as arrogant and weird as Stark or Doom. There are not many opportunities to watch billionaires so closely, so the party being watched doesn't care about them. Ignore them, and the crowd will disperse in a short time. After all, there is still a lot of work to be done.

After a while of young people's usual intimacy, Ross let go of her body and pinched his girlfriend's tender face.

"Why are you in the lab today? Don't you want to participate in dance training? I'm still waiting for you to dance a new dance for me alone?"

"I've already passed the tutor's course, and I want to see you first", the girl pouted and said coquettishly, and then leaned towards him again, rushing to him in Ross's arms Blink quietly.

"Want to see me do my new dance?"

"Definitely, I've been waiting for a long time," Ross winked at her, then rubbed her forehead, enjoying the fuss of the future dancer complaining.

"Damn it, Gwen is still here", the girlfriend was a little shy, and immediately opened his hand.

Although her voice was not loud, Gwen, who had just sent the interns away, heard it clearly and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything," she complained angrily, and came over and slapped Ross on the arm with a folder.

"The entire laboratory is waiting for your signature and acceptance, but you slipped away at this moment. If the doctor hadn't returned with the equipment the day before yesterday, I would have thought something happened to you, which caused my father and I to ask him to help find someone several times. thing."

Ross laughed, patted the back of her hand affectionately, and explained casually.

"The incident happened suddenly. The doctor and I also temporarily knew that there was a rare bacteria in the volcanic lake near the Canadian border. They may be of great help to our next research. We went this way in order to observe enough data before the temperature drops again. Suddenly. I apologize to you, and I won't be in such a hurry next time."

This is the reason he and Connors prepared for. The reason why they stopped for a week before returning is also to better deceive others. Anyway, similar things are not uncommon among fanatical scientists. A promising rising star in the tech world connects with the irrelevant Mutant.

Wrinkling the tip of her nose, Gwen finally put the matter aside and turned her attention to the goal of their trip.

"Are the bacteria you're looking at thermophilic archaea like those in Yellowstone's hot springs?"

"That's right." Ross nodded, looking at her with rather surprised eyes. "We found that this bacterium produces tiny cellular ion pumps that drive the chemical reactions of life, so we paid special attention. Didn't expect you to know that, Miss Stacey, what can I say Are you really very knowledgeable?"

"Definitely, I'm going to be an excellent biologist." Upon receiving the compliment, Gwen triumphantly straightened up her youthful and lively body, boasting without any shyness.

While she wasn't paying attention, Ross quickly raised his hand, and squeezed the tip of his tingling nose lightly and lightly.

"Ross!" Unexpectedly and annoyed, the girl blushed immediately.

If someone else dared to do this to Gwen, the police chief's daughter must let him know how powerful Miss Stacey is, even if she can't tolerate Ross, she viciously raised the file folder and followed him closely to kill, Mary Jane, who didn't know where to go, kept cheering and encouraging them from behind.

Ross definitely turned around and ran, his movements were too quick, no matter how Gwen swung his arms, he couldn't reach the corner of his clothes, and slipped away every time.

In this way, you chased me for a long time, and the sweaty girl stopped, leaning on the bright metal railing in the corridor to bend over and pant.

Just now Ross stopped and she beat her up a few times, so At the moment Gwen has put the previous matter behind her and focused on another matter.

"I said..." She took out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead, and at the same time looked at Ross carefully. "Is something wrong, you look different today than usual."

"What could be the matter?" Ross was noncommittal, unlike ordinary girls, he didn't sweat at all, as relaxed and comfortable as if he had just returned from a walk outside.

Although he refused to admit it, Gwen could indeed feel that some subtle temperament changes had taken place in Ross after he came back this time, as if the gloom that had haunted him for a long time had quietly left, and he gradually became sunny and warm. And full of vitality.

Definitely, also more presumptuous...

"Perhaps, there are fewer restricting factors for me." Under Gwen's repeated questioning, Ross half-sitting on the railing said casually.

"It sounds like you've done something bad," the girl wrinkled her cute nose, clenched her fists tightly and threatened him. "Should I report to Mr. Director?"

Ross smiled and pointed at her, making a tough gesture.

"I mean breaking the shackles," he said softly, looking at Mary Jane on the other side of the corridor, and waving to her from a distance across the hall downstairs.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I make a plan, I put it into action, I go through all kinds of hardships, I'm ready to fail, and then I find a new path to accomplish my goals. Until today, I finally achieved some results, Even I myself couldn't believe that I would really complete the plan so smoothly. Now I feel that the road ahead is smooth. There may still be many challenges in the future, but nothing can stop me. Maybe this is the reason, The stress that has been bothering me seems to be gone and I feel so much lighter now."

A faint voice echoed in the corridor, looking at Ross's marble sculpture-like face, Gwen could see that he was feeling it, thinking he was referring to the upcoming completion of the laboratory, and was relieved by Ross's change.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. My dad always said that life is like traveling around the world. Every journey is just a part of the journey. Only people with a relaxed attitude can persevere until the end. Now it is just an insignificant moment for you. Let's start, after a short stay, you must continue to muster up the courage to move forward." The girl squeezed Ross's hands comfortingly, and pressed his palms between her own.

"Do you know what we said in private when you first said you were going to build an advanced laboratory?" Gwen wiggled her ponytail and playfully imitated the rough voice of a boy. "We were whispering, 'Hey, that Byrne guy is blowing his shit again, throw all his money in today, and tomorrow he'll go back to work in Osborn crying', and everyone thought it was a long shot, and I actually I didn't expect you to turn the blueprint into reality so quickly, but I always believe that you are the best!"

"Thank you", Ross stroked Gwen's delicate palm, her body temperature seemed to be warm from the back of her hand to her heart.

Just as they were standing in the sun talking, Mary Jane ran over from the other side, her youthful and beautiful face was filled with the unique vitality of young people.

At that moment, Gwen suddenly felt a little guilty. She wanted to break free from Ross's hand, but he held it back. Then Mary Jane hugged her from behind without realizing it, and the three embraced tightly. .

"It's so nice," Ross's girlfriend buried her face in her best friend's shoulder and whispered in her ear.

On this day, time passed quickly, and the three of them were chatting and processing work, and the sun sank into the horizon before they knew it.

By the time the lights came on, Ross had already returned to New York with the two girls. This time he did not send Gwen back to his parents' house in Manhattan as usual, but the three of them came to Cooper Beach, the most beautiful place in the Southampton area of ​​Long Island. .

Strolling aimlessly on the beach, sometimes lingering in front of small stalls selling handicrafts, picking some unique souvenirs, sometimes facing the cool night breeze, counting the stars on the beach, or borrowing the help of others A bonfire, grilling some delicious seafood bought from a small roadside shop... In short, they had a very good time this night, joking and joking like ordinary young people. Sometimes Mary Jane and Gwen would join hands to deal with it Ross, sometimes they themselves would start a little rivalry for Ross to be the referee for them.

In this way, the three of them became more and more intimate that night, regardless of the surprised eyes of others, like a couple in love.

They didn't intend to leave until the beach was sparsely populated.

While Mary Jane was going to the bathroom, Gwen sneaked up behind Ross and gave him a hard shove from behind, pushing him off a sand dune in a thinking man pose.

"Come and catch me, you can't catch me!" She fled provocatively, leaving behind a string of crisp laughter.

"Are you underestimating me? Look at me!" Ross raised his eyebrows, and then ran over.

After a few screams, Gwen hugged Gwen's slender waist from behind, and then the girl's feet gave way, and the two of them fell on their backs on the soft sand.

Ross got under there just in time, so Gwen didn't feel any pain, she just angrily tapped his arm around her body, complaining nonstop.

"It's all the sand's fault. If I hadn't kicked them, you wouldn't have been able to catch up with me."

"I'm very sorry, I have another point of view. It's totally fate. If it's because of the sand as you said, it's God's arrangement." Ross smiled and held her in his arms, breathing in her hair Warm aroma.

"God's arrangement?" Gwen snorted disdainfully.

"Don't you believe it?" Ross lowered his head, half turned up and looked down at her.

Gwen was about to refute, when suddenly the eyes of the two met, she realized that she and Ross were cuddling together in a rather harmonious and pure posture, like two innocent children against the backdrop of a sky full of stars , and the sound of the gentle waves, the atmosphere is so warm.

Looking into Ross's deep and clear eyes, a kind of family-like feeling suddenly touched Gwen's heart. Along with the roar of the waves, the cool sea breeze blew their bodies. When the boy lay comfortably next to her, her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, she smiled lightly, and then lay on the beach and looked up at the starry sky together.
