You go, I don't have a super-British friend like you [Zhongyingmei]

The time for the end of the day shift is coming soon.Clark heard that the medical staff in the hospital were busy handing over work to their colleagues on the night shift.He has been listening carefully, never before.

Ten minutes later, he was finally willing to face reality.

It wasn't that he missed Peggy's movements, but that Peggy didn't hand over work to anyone at all.She still sits in front of the computer in her office and flips through reports, and she even has time to turn around and say hello to her night shift colleagues.

But she had no intention of leaving the hospital, even though everyone was puzzled why she didn't go home, she had no intention of getting up.

Clark couldn't sit still.

Waiting like this is not an option.Bruce and Diana were right, he needed to act, act now.

Clark stood up, and when everyone was changing shifts and no one was paying attention to him, Clark easily went to the floor of the doctor's office.

On the way upstairs, he met an unfamiliar nurse.Clark nodded at the other party calmly, which was regarded as a greeting.Probably confused by Clark's relaxed posture, the other party also nodded at him in a mysterious way, and passed by Clark without asking any more questions.

Clark ran into Christine as soon as he was on the office floor.

Christine was not as foolish as the nurse just now. The first time she saw Clark, she stopped cautiously: "Are you?"

"Is Paige there?"

Christine looked Clark up and down. She felt that the man in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.Christine frowned, undiminished vigilance: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Clark smiled apologetically at Christine, then held out his hand: "Clark Kent."

"Oh~~~" Christine responded with a drawn out tone, then lightly held Clark's hand, and then let it go quickly.She stared into Clark's eyes with a teasing smile: "You are Clark Kent. I mean, you look familiar. What? Did you quarrel with Peggy?"

Christine, Clark remembered.When Peggy was attacked by the earcutter, he had met this clever female doctor several times in the hospital.Of course he also remembered the gossip Paige had told him about Christine and Strange.

Clark took a deep breath, slumped his shoulders and said, "It's a bit...a misunderstanding."

Christine looked at Clark with a smile in her eyes. After a while, she whispered: "She may go to the laboratory downstairs later. Or, are you going to ambush her there?"

"ambush?"

Christine nodded. "Night doctors may return to the office at any time. You don't want to be interrupted in the middle of a conversation, do you?"

Clark took a deep breath, then thanked Christine.Following Christine's idea, she went downstairs and waited in the storage room next to the laboratory.

Christine didn't lie, but within ten minutes, Peggy came out of the upstairs office and walked to the laboratory while talking on the phone.

Clark heard the contents of the call clearly.

Peggy is discussing medical issues with Watson on the other side of the ocean.Peggy hadn't paid attention to trauma surgery for a long time, but she still seemed very comfortable chatting with Watson about the development of trauma surgery on the phone.Rather than saying that this is an academic phone call, it is better to say that it is an exchange between two friends after a long absence.

Peggy seemed to really intend to do the experiment. After she entered the laboratory, she hung up the phone without talking.

Clark came out of the side room and walked to the door of the laboratory.

Through the glass on the door, Clark saw Peggy's serious profile.

At first, he found it a little hard to imagine that since Peggy was really doing research seriously at this time.But then, Clark suddenly realized, isn't this the usual method of Peggy?When she encountered a problem she couldn't solve, she plunged into medical papers as if she hadn't encountered any problems.

Clark gently pushed the door open, then curled his fingers and knocked lightly on the door.

Paige was taken aback.

After seeing who came, Peggy gave Clark a bit of a complaining look.But she didn't say anything, and turned back to fiddle with the things in her hand.

"Peggy..."

Peggy didn't look up: "Let's talk about it later."

"Is it a flash of inspiration?"

"what?"

Clark met Peggy's puzzled eyes, and said seriously: "I said that the reason you are busy with research is because of a flash of inspiration? If that is the case, I will leave now. But if...you just want to escape from me... ...Peggy, I think we should talk."

Peggy looked at Clark with a strange look for a long time, and finally couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Even if there is a flash of inspiration, it will be gone after being disturbed by you."

Clarke showed rare toughness: "But it wasn't a flash of light."

Paige didn't look at Clark, she stared at a scrap of paper on the floor, wondering what she was thinking.

"Peggy." There was a serious tone in Clark's tone, as if he didn't intend to use a gentle attitude to win back Peggy today.

Peggy took a deep breath, and finally looked into Clark's eyes with a calm mind: "All right. What do you want to say, say it now."

Peggy, who suddenly decided to fight head-on, made Clark panic for a second, but only for a second.Clark knew very well that the problems he and Peggy were facing at this moment might recur countless times in the future, if Peggy couldn't understand this, or he couldn't convince Peggy to understand this.What awaits them will be repeated disputes and anger.

"I'm sorry Peggy. But I don't regret it." Clark saw Peggy raised her eyebrows a little mockingly, but this time, he didn't hesitate, "I know you're angry that I made arrangements with them without your permission. Send you to a parallel world. I also know that there is something wrong with what I did, not only me, but also the Avengers and Diana have hesitated about this decision."

Peggy raised her lips: "But not Bruce Wayne. I guess, he gave you courage and dispelled everyone's doubts."

"Peggy, I didn't make up my mind because of Bruce. It was you who made me up." Clark stared at Peggy with unprecedented seriousness in his eyes, "I can't lose you, I can't put you in danger .I know you will definitely ask me why I didn’t discuss it with you first. Because I know you won’t agree, you won’t agree with my decision.”

Peggy pursed her lips, and her breathing became a little short.She had to look away lest she burst into tears when she got emotional.Peggy stared at the centrifuge at the side and calmed down for a while before saying, "That's it? Nothing else?"

"Of course not." Clark's tone softened a little. "Of course there are other things. It's just that you already knew."

Peggy didn't answer, still staring at the centrifuge.

"I love you, Peggy. More than anything in this universe."

Peggy finally turned her head back, but frowned tightly: "Have you finished speaking? After finishing speaking, it's my turn."

Clark lowered his eyes, losing the momentum just now.

Unexpectedly, Peggy didn't yell or lose her temper.She just picked up the sphygmomanometer and stethoscope on the table, pulled a stool and walked up to Clark: "Sit down and stretch out your arms."

"Peggy?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Peggy's answer was crisp and firm, but she didn't seem to be in the least bit emotional.After Clark stretched out his arm in some puzzlement, Peggy quickly rolled up his sleeves for him, and then strapped on the blood pressure monitor.

She lowered her head, as if she was just giving a physical examination to an ordinary patient.

Peggy focused her eyes on the mercury column.

After testing her blood pressure, she raised her hand to take a bag of disposable syringes from the cabinet.

After the bags were opened, Peggy seemed to remember this kind of earth product, and there was no way to pierce Clark's skin and blood vessels.

That sharp needle became the last straw that crushed Peggy.

Her hand stopped, and after being frozen for two seconds, she suddenly lost her temper and threw the thing on the ground viciously.

Clark was taken aback, he realized that he had no way of guessing Peggy's state of mind at the moment.

Paige turned and sat down at the table, hugging her head like a graduate student who couldn't think of a topic for her thesis.

"Peggy..." Clark stepped forward slowly, hesitating for a moment whether to hug Peggy at this moment.

Peggy didn't entangle Clark for too long. When she noticed that Clark was approaching, she lowered her arm and sat upright, as if nothing had happened just now.

The atmosphere in the laboratory became very strange.

Clark put his hand tentatively on Peggy's shoulder.

"I'm not angry with you..." Peggy's voice was thin, as if she was talking in sleep, "I'm not angry with the Avenger either."

Clark squeezed Peggy's shoulder lightly, and found that her whole body was tense, as if she was unwilling to accept any comfort.

"I'm not even angry with Bruce. Why should I be angry? He's right." Peggy pursed her lips, "I'm not a fool, can't I think of it myself? Don't I know how much it is to confront the enemy head-on?" Dangerous? Come on, Thanos isn't the first alien to try to take over Earth. I haven't fought an alien, but I'm not a bumpkin who hasn't seen one."

Clark smiled slightly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "You have often fought with me."

Paige turned a blind eye to Clark's thoughtful humor: "So, how can I be angry with you. It's not that I don't know what I can do and what I can't do. Haven't I Do you understand?"

Clark frowned: "Peggy?"

"But I'm really mad." Paige's face wrinkled in pain. "I'm mad at myself, Clark. I lost you once, so I don't want to lose you again. But look, What can I do? Not to mention fighting side by side with you, I can't even do what I'm good at afterward and check your physical condition for you."

Clark felt Peggy trembling under his palm, and he couldn't help hugging her: "You won't lose me. I promise."

"No, Clark. I'm angry because..." Peggy turned her head away reproachfully, "I actually thought being the lover of a superhero was an easy thing. I actually... never thought about trying."

Clark crouched down, and he crouched at Peggy's feet, holding her hand.It looks like a cute golden retriever from a distance.

"No, Paige. It's all right, very good. You don't—"

"Don't tell me I don't need to work hard, Clark." Paige looked at Clark seriously. "If you can understand how much I love you, don't say such a thing."

Clark was speechless for a moment, and could only hold Peggy's hand tightly.

Lying flat beside the two of them is the unpredictable future and universe.

Clark lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up at Peggy's face: "Then what are you going to do? What should I do?"

Peggy looked at Clark quietly for a long time, and then smiled: "I guess, we can only accept this together."
