Dr. Warren is a little busy

After breakfast, Ashe considered in her heart whether to go and see the situation with Harry and Peter. After all, everyone else's situation has been figured out, only the danger facing Spider-Man has not been fully understood.Moreover, the person who assigned Yelena to hurt Ai Xi was definitely a dangerous person. If this person was not found out, Ai Xi would not be able to rest at ease every night.

But before Ashe had time to carefully plan today's itinerary, the doorbell rang.Ashe stood up from the dining chair and was about to open the door, but was stopped by Bucky who was washing the dishes.

"Let me go."

Ashe nodded obediently, and Bucky took off the plastic gloves that were still stained with water, and walked towards the hall, with Ashe closely following behind him.Although she is not without combat power now, she enjoys Bucky's caring care for her very much.

"Good morning, Barnes, Dr. Warren." Yelena stood at the door, her chin slightly raised, her proud smile was exactly the same as when Ashe saw her for the first time, and she said in that unique and charming Russian accent: "Do you have time to invite me in for a cup of coffee?"

Everyone came to the door of the house, could Ash still slam the door in her face?Although a little reluctant, Ashe still decided to listen to Yelena's intentions.

Ashe tugged at Bucky's cuff, who seemed to be ready to throw a fist at any time, and politely said to the guests at the door: "Of course, come in."

In the living room, Bucky sat alone on a sofa, with Yelena sitting across from him.Bucky's displeasure was almost overflowing from his body, but Yelena remained calm, as if unaware of the house owner's rejection of her.

Ashe came out of the kitchen with a coffee pot and a few small china cups. She noticed that Yelena looked as proud and defiant as when they first met, and she seemed to be in a good mood. Ashe thought this might be a good sign .

"Does your coming here prove that the matter has come to an end for the time being? Are Harry and Peter okay?"

Ashe sat next to Bucky, and took the initiative to break the somewhat stagnant atmosphere in the living room.

"The two of them are very good, and they are preparing to wipe out Dr. Lizard in one fell swoop." Yelena gently took a sip of coffee from a small porcelain cup, frowned slightly and said flatly, "Doctor Warren, I have to admit that you are very smart." Well, things did develop according to your guess yesterday. I escaped while you and Parker were away. Harry and Parker followed me to find my good boss, and along the way he involved many related people. Now There's been a lot of chaos in Langley*, and the CIA is facing a purge right now."

"Oh? That means there are also Hydra agents lurking in the CIA?" Ashe raised his eyebrows and said, "They are really everywhere."

Yelena smiled sarcastically, and said: "It is indeed everywhere, but this situation will improve after I become the main manager of the CIA in the New York area."

"Wow, what a surprise." Ashe said exaggeratedly, "So you got a great promotion opportunity?"

Yelena rolled her eyes, and said impatiently: "Come on, don't be so hypocritical. You know what happened yesterday, and I don't expect to be forgiven by you, but there are some things that need to be made clear. I want to catch you The person in question is my immediate boss, of course it turned out to be a hydra. I sent him to hell last night, you can rest assured that no one will want to hurt you in a short time."

Ai Xi didn't hate Yelena that much, she was not related to her, and she had no responsibility to protect her own safety.In that case, of course she would sacrifice the most insignificant Ashe to protect the more important Peter and Harry, and Ashe understood this very well.

But understanding doesn't mean anything else, just understanding.She knew in her heart that Yelena and herself were completely different people, and they shouldn't have any intersection at all.Ashe didn't say anything, just sat quietly beside Bucky and was a good listener.

"My main purpose of coming today is to learn from the Winter Soldier what happened in the past few days. The CIA has no intention of meddling in the internal affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D., but we need information about Bahrain Island."

Yelena explained her reason for coming very directly, and she looked at Bucky with a businesslike look in her eyes, making Ashe wonder if what she once said about her crush on the Winter Soldier for many years was also a lie.

"Bahrain is not normal. It is controlled by a certain sect. The local government and army are useless. This sect has created a lot of chaos around the world in the past few months, intending to attract the world's attention and promote its existence."

Bucky explained the objective situation succinctly and said nothing else.But Ash felt that he knew more than that.S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't send a group of heroes with only this little information.

Yelena obviously thought of this too, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "That's all?"

Bucky pursed his lips, obviously not very happy, but he still said: "Our preliminary investigation results are not completely accurate, at least the resistance we encountered was several times stronger than expected, and the process of the mission is also very difficult. It didn't go well. So I won't say many things that are not sure of the truth and accuracy. If you want to know more information, please contact Agent Hill."

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I get the official job notice." Yelena was very upset, "I'm not qualified to hand over directly to the person in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. But if I can't get first-hand information, my power struggle The battle will definitely be very difficult.”

So, she came to win over Bucky and ask him to stand behind her on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D. to support her in seizing power?Ashe frowned slightly, this is not a good attitude to ask for help.The reason why she invited Yelena into the house for a cup of coffee was because she wanted to know what was going on, not to put Bucky in this unfavorable situation.Her Bucky is a good fighter, and he may be able to easily defeat one hundred enemies on the battlefield and be invincible, but he may not have much experience in this kind of political battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder is invisible.

"Boris, no one taught you to say please when you ask for help? Maybe it's not customary in Russia?"

Ashe's face was sullen, and the displeasure on her face was obvious, which made her look very suitable for Bucky, whose mouth corners were extending downward beside her.

Yelena didn't respond to Ashe's dissatisfaction, she said calmly: "This is not asking for help, it's a transaction, or mutual benefit. It will benefit you a lot if I get the right, at least I have many secrets in my hands, among which That includes the composition of Hydra's intelligence network. If the CIA and S.H.I.E.L.D. join hands, many things will be much easier to do, for both of us."

Ai Xi suddenly felt that such an important conversation should not happen in her living room, and Bucky seemed to realize this, he looked at Ai Xi, and Ai Xi whispered in his ear: "You can't decide this matter, the captain and they didn't Time matters, but we all know Stark is busy right now."

Bucky looked much lighter, and he said to Yelena: "I can't decide this matter, but I can introduce you to the people you need to meet."

Stark is a veteran of the Avengers and a special advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D. He is more suitable than Bucky to talk to Yelena about this matter in terms of seniority, identity, and the weight of words.While Fury, Cap, and even Agent Hill are better fits than he is, they're all busy right now.Moreover, the most important point is that Stark, a talented genius, will not be easily deceived. He is very handy in dealing with women, secret agents and politicians, and Yelena obviously combines the first three into one. A master of the whole body.

So Ashe's cell phone dialed Stark's number after just one hour, and the other party was obviously not as idle as they thought, and the call was answered after a long time after the alarm sounded.

"Oh old man, what else can you do with me?"

Ashe wanted to roll her eyes, but Stark couldn't see.So she said calmly, "This is Ash Warren, Mr. Stark. The old man you mentioned, Mr. Barnes, is beside me."

Stark changed his tone very quickly, allowing Ashe to experience his playboy demeanor that can't be washed off: "Oh, sorry, doctor. I didn't expect to have this honor to talk to you."

Ashe handed the phone to Bucky and said, "It's better for you to talk about it, just say it directly."

Ashe likes Iron Man quite a bit, but that is mainly because of her admiration for his clever mind and great dedication. She has never wanted Iron Man to use his weird personality to personally destroy his image of a stalwart hero in her heart.

"Someone from the CIA wants to work with S.H.I.E.L.D., no one else is available, I'm not good at this, maybe you should talk to her."

Bucky was terse, and Ashe nodded encouragingly.She knew that Bucky didn't like dealing with Stark, not because the two had conflicts that were difficult to adjust before, but because Stark's way of speaking and doing things was often overwhelming.

"What if I don't want to? I've had a hard time getting a vacation, and you know I'm not in New York right now."

Stark hadn't always been kind to Bucky, and Bucky had always put up with him.After all, he and Howard used to be good friends, and if everything went well, Tony should call Bucky an uncle.

"It's only an hour for you from Washington to New York. It's important, or I won't bother you."

Bucky's patience and the discussion in his words made Ash's face sink. She didn't like to see her Bucky face this kind of situation, but she knew that he always felt that he owed Stark, and Compared with the moment when the truth came out, Stark really didn't have any more malice in his heart.

But Ashe was still upset, very upset.Her Bucky shouldn't be treated unkindly by anyone, and she always felt that anyone who provoked him should be thrown into a mental hospital.She was a little thankful that the effect of yesterday's medicine hadn't completely disappeared, otherwise the other two people present would definitely be affected by her sudden and drastic change of mood.

At this moment, Ashe suddenly realized that she, who has always been good at controlling her emotions, always seemed to lose her former self-control when facing things related to Bucky.Perhaps Bucky's importance to her may have exceeded her consciousness and imagination.

Fortunately, Iron Man is still able to distinguish between right and wrong when facing major events. After a moment of silence, he said: "I see, I'm going back to New York tonight. That's the decision, it can't be earlier!"

Then he hung up the phone resolutely, Bucky returned the phone to Ashe, and said to Yelena: "Stark will come back tonight, and then you can talk to him directly. Do you have anything else to do now?"

Yelena looked at Bucky playfully, and said, "You really want to drive me away? I thought it was Dr. Warren who hated me the most."

"I don't hate you, Miss Boris, I don't need to waste so much emotion for you." Ashe said calmly, "I don't have any thoughts about you personally, I just don't like your way of doing things very much. And Stark Communication is hard work, so I suggest you go back now and prepare some good enough speeches. And Bucky really worked hard a few days ago, and I hope he can rest for a while."

Yelena smiled knowingly, and said, "Doctor Warren knows the art of language better than you, Winter Soldier. Then, I have one last question, and I will leave after asking."

Ashe nodded, motioning for her to continue.

Yelena fixed her blue eyes on Ashe's and said, "Will you invite me to your wedding?"

At this moment, Ashe finally believed that Yelena really admired Bucky.
