Marvel's Speedster

Despite the unforeseen events on Christmas Eve, Ross still has to carry on with his work.

Today is Christmas, and the staff in the laboratory are basically on holiday. The national holiday is one and a half days. Ross himself added two days to the bottom. It doesn't seem too much, but compared with other companies, it is already very generous. , So since yesterday, the employees have left one after another, and today is even rarer. It was not until he finished his work and was about to leave for home that someone came to him.

"Welcome, Miss Storm." Soon after instructing the guard to let him go, Susan came to him.

Today she is wearing a black casual jacket, paired with tight black leather pants and warm snow boots, wearing a black and white scarf and a matching hat of the same color, she looks capable, handsome and cool.

Although the appearance is glamorous, as long as he thinks of her frightened and stupid look the day before, Ross can't help feeling in his heart: what's the use of this woman spending so much attention on dressing up, her intelligence is the blemish. Definitely slander is slander, he still knew in his heart that Susan was definitely not an embroidered pillow, he just put himself in danger because of his curiosity, which made himself implicated.

Forget about the past, if you suddenly come here today, you must have bad intentions.

Ross secretly wondered if the woman guessed something from yesterday's incident. After all, she and Pepper had both seen how she did it. With a woman's intuition, she might find some cobweb signs.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" he asked politely.

"Can I come in?" Susan didn't have the idea of ​​going to the reception room. She blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at the door behind Ross, which meant very clearly.

"Okay." Ross shrugged and invited Susan into his lounge.

There are many things on display here, basically all of which are handmade by him. Some of them have been seen by Pepper, and some of them have been made recently. schematic diagram. As time goes by, the life before 14 gradually fades away. Although he has been trained to firmly remember the things that need to be remembered, the longer the time, it is inevitable that some impressions that are not deep enough will gradually fade away, so Ross has been Committed to sorting out the knowledge of previous lives, and listed some seemingly useless inspirations that actually have certain reference value for future reference.

Looking curiously at the realistic spaceship model and observing the alien creature roaring upwards, Susan stood with her hands in her pockets for a while, then turned her head and smiled at him.

"It turns out that you have researched so many aspects, which is really amazing."

Ross curled his lips, although it was a compliment from a beautiful woman, but he was not a little boy who would be elated after being coaxed by the girls casually.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" he repeated.

"I came here specifically to express my thanks for what happened last time." Susan said, looking at him carefully, seeing that there was no reaction, "just put on a nonchalant look.

"Originally, Pepper was also coming, but there was a sudden change, Stark was brought back from Central Asia, and she was in a hurry to pick up her employer, so she went directly to the air force base, so I had to come here by myself.

Hearing Susan's words, Ross knew that Stark, who had disappeared for a long time, had finally returned alive.

Originally, he was still wondering if the future Iron Man was sent to a distant underworld by the wings of his little butterfly from another world, but now it seems that some things will inevitably return to the original track.

But that's okay, with his current strength, he might not be at a disadvantage even in the face of all the Avengers, not to mention that he will continue to grow stronger as time goes by. Just like the battle last night, in the past, he could only take advantage of Magneto, but now he can actually fight against Magneto face to face without losing the wind. It has to be said that this is a huge achievement. What's more, there are still some things waiting for him to discover at the bottom of Akalia Lake outside Stryker's base. Once the limelight passes, he will take those resources that have not been used correctly and let them truly play their due value.

"You don't seem to have gone back to school recently?" Susan was still insinuating.

"I asked your tutor, you only got the basic credit hours, and even the exams are usually in a hurry, have you encountered any trouble recently?"

She must have guessed something, but she wasn't sure yet.

Ross looked on coldly, talking nonsense with her casually, anyway, there was still some time before the appointment, and he was not in a hurry.

"The lab is very busy, and I'm going to spend a two-person world with my girlfriend, but why didn't you spend Christmas with Mr. Doom, I heard that your spaceship is about to launch.

Susan wrinkled her nose and stood upright, naturally exuding an astonishing beauty, full of feminine charm.

In terms of appearance alone, she is more refined than Mary Jane, more feminine than Gwen, and more affectionate than Qin. No wonder Reed, a stubborn nerd, can't forget his ex-girlfriend, and Doom, who broke up, also Show mercy to her frequently.

I don’t know that Ross is secretly gossiping, but Susan has never given up her efforts. She is persistently trying to find some secrets from him to relieve her curiosity, but she has never gotten a word of it.

Involving the existence of Mutant, such a thing is definitely impossible to admit.

Yesterday's incident report has not yet been officially confirmed, but the college incident has already reached a general conclusion, which is basically in Ross' favor.

After the Strykers and the Mutant disappeared at the same time, the federal government seemed to be in conflict again. Whether to fight or appease has become a problem that no one wants to face. Definitely don’t need to think about warlords who are far away abroad, or tribal chiefs who occupy oil fields. They must fight first. Even in normal countries, as long as they are profitable, “political plans and the capitalists behind them will not hesitate.

But Mutant is a bit tricky. In the past, there was Professor X, a moderate leader, who wanted to denounce it. There is no problem. Even if some major conflicts arise, they can be easily appeased afterwards. But I don’t know what kind of ecstasy this guy Stryker gave the president. , Coaxed the temporary owner of the White House to give him authorization, and then stepped on the bomb very unluckily, blowing himself to pieces.

So now the military and political parties can only temporarily pretend that they don't know anything, and the wanted Mutant is still wanted, but try not to expand it. It is easy to pull these superhumans out to fight, but it is very difficult to end it in case of trouble. So far they don't know that Charles Xavier is here with Ross, so they can only make various guesses based on some trivial traces

Fortunately, Stryker's subordinates are basically mercenaries. The Ministry of National Defense does not need to issue pensions to the families of the many dead, nor does it need to disclose the truth of the attack to the press, so it can be perfunctory. Mutant Beast Hank, who had lost contact with the academy, was beating around the bush to inquire about this situation. On the other hand, he stepped up his research to see how to effectively control the threat brought by the Mutant.

This is also a competition. It is not impossible for human beings to eliminate Mutant. As long as they are carefully prepared, Mutant is not an inviolable god. But now the two sides have not completely torn off the veil on their faces, so there is no need to take such a big loss. As the presidential term is over halfway, when the election campaign begins, politicians will be even less in the mood to pay attention to things that have nothing to do with their own future.

As for the speeding party last night, it was easier to solve. After Jin Bing died, these gang leaders suddenly found that there was no dog leash around their necks, and they danced harder than usual for a while. Clean up the machine, and replace a few guys who are willing to listen to people's words.

The only unfortunate thing is that the citizens who were accidentally affected during the fight between Ross and Magneto were swept by those long steel pillars. It is inevitable that some people were bleeding. Regarding this incident, the incident investigation team preliminarily confirmed that it was a gas leakage accident. The cause of the accident was It also goes back to Norman's sabotage of the Central Park underground pipeline in the Green Goblin incident. This explanation is very convincing, but there was a lot of smoke and dust at the time, and few people saw Ross and Magneto appear, so the whip swung around, and finally fell heavily on the back of Osborn who had nothing to do with it.

His reputation was hit again. Facing the angry new and old claimants, Harry, who had been patiently coping with the company's internal and external conflicts, hastily ended the endless disputes and discussions, and delegated all the tedious matters to Felicia. Flying to sunny Madrid for vacation, maybe in the remote Iberian Peninsula, he can find a relaxing and happy time.

So now that all the responsibilities have been divided, Ross definitely refuses to step in and get covered in mud. He and Susan are back and forth, arguing endlessly, pushing the relationship to the ground, leaving nothing behind. .

When it came to the end, the annoyed Susan also had a little temper, and even opened her mouth to threaten.

"Believe it or not, I'll ask Mary Jane if you were together last night?" she said, leaning closer to Ross.

"What the hell do you want to know?" Ross spread his hands, looking innocent. "Today is Christmas. If you don't celebrate with Mr. Doom, what's the point of coming to me?"

"I broke up with Doom!" Susan raised her face proudly. Doom's embarrassment yesterday made her completely determined. Now the two only have a working relationship. After the aerospace scientific research, she will resign from Doom's company. .

If it hadn't been for this expedition, which had been her wish, and a lot of hard work beforehand, Susan would now want to be free.

"So that's how it is," Ross clenched his fist and tapped his palm, suddenly realizing. "Then it's the time of Mr. Richards, maybe other gentlemen I don't know, and there must be a group of gentlemen cheering and jumping for the news. Don't hesitate to Miss Storm, hurry up and find real happiness Come on, don't waste your time with me."

Susan was pissed off by Ross.

She was born in a traditional Puritan family, and she only had two boyfriends in her life. Both Reed and Doom respected her very much, but when it came to Ross, they seemed to be mocking her for becoming a well-known slutty girl. A little angry, she was immediately dazzled.

"I'm going to report you to the police and let Mary Jane know what you kept from her!"

Hearing what Susan said without thinking, Ross was furious for a moment. From last night to now, everyone seems to be making a fuss about his girlfriend. Seeing Susan turning to leave, he immediately grabbed her by the throat. She pushed hard against the wall.

"try it yourself."

The deep and cold voice suddenly awakened Susan's rationality, and she remembered how dangerous Ross is, and the powerful force was transmitted to Susan's heart through the dry and stable palm.

Made her shudder. She thought about begging for mercy, but the pressure on her throat was so great that she could only helplessly clenched her legs and legs like a gecko nailed to the wall, twisting and moving her body desperately, becoming more and more out of breath .

about to be killed?

A horrifying thought flashed through her mind, and she really didn't expect Ross to react so violently.

Luckily, Ross put her down just in time before suffocating.

"Sorry, I've been a little out of control recently." Ross calmed down, and then explained to Susan.

It has been quite a long time since he came to this world and accepted his new identity. During this process, he has been changing subtly, which made Ross himself a little confused. In the past, there has never been a similar situation. He is a multi-faceted person of kaleidoscopic Shapeshift, and each identity will not cause too much trouble, but now he may have been away from the original world for too long, and there is no longer any bondage. Unknowingly, he really became Ross Byrne, not

The former cold-blooded military agent.

This change can't be said to be good or bad, it's just an invisible evolution, but Ross doesn't have time to think about it carefully, the outside world will naturally ask him to make his own choice.

Susan gasped violently for a while. She rubbed the red marks on her neck and choked out a lot of the water that Ross handed over, and it took a while to recover.

Lifting her flushed, delicate face, she stared at Ross for a while with complicated eyes, reluctantly accepting his apology.

"Forget it, I shouldn't say that. We have an agreement that we shouldn't reveal things about you."

Susan finally relented. delete

After sending Susan away, Ross looked at his hands in distress, completely dazed.

"Did I inadvertently Awakening some weird Ability?"

He looked at the mirror and guessed wildly, but the mirror was still his usual self.

There was Phoenix in the front, and Susan in the back, and their behavior became more and more strange. Although Ross has seen such women before, but when he thinks of superheroes like ordinary people

With complex psychological problems, Ross still feels weird.

Shaking his head and not bothering about it anymore, Ross told Toad to get someone to clean up the floor before leaving the lab and heading south.

An hour later, crossing the crowded Broadway Avenue, Ross found a familiar white figure in the bustling Times Square. She was standing alone on the street, looking

A little deserted and lonely, I saw someone approaching from a distance, and was immediately rejected by the girl shaking her head.

"Merry Christmas, honey." Ross hugged her from behind, and Mary Jane let out an "ah" in surprise.

"Merry Christmas, Ross." At this moment, she was smiling like a flower.

The two hugged happily in the crowd, and after a while, they felt a chill on their faces one after another.

"Snowing."

Mary Jane spoke softly, they slowly raised their heads, and in the gray sky, white snowflakes were slowly falling. .
