The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

New York--

Bruce Banner stood in front of the refrigerator, holding a refrigerated steak in one hand, and putting the canned mutton he had just selected back on the shelf with the other hand. He also took a fancy to a can of bean soup and quick-frozen dumplings. He recognized the dumplings. He has eaten it, and he knows that it is Chinese noodles. Banner is thinking about how many kinds of food he can eat at one time. There are too many things in the refrigerator, and he thinks everything is delicious.

However, it was difficult for him to choose and began to consider whether to make himself a bowl of pasta.

What Banner was facing was a huge refrigerator, at least covering an entire wall. Every kind of food was listed neatly. Raw food, cooked food and sweet food were placed on different shelves for people to choose from. There were so many flavors like shopping in a supermarket. .He has never seen such a large family refrigerator. After the sliding door is opened, there is a thickened glass in the middle, which is an isolation layer designed to prevent unnecessary freezing when picking food.Obviously, the refrigerator was refitted by Stark himself. It is impossible to have such a large family refrigerator on the market. Most of the food stored in it is mainly sweets. Of course, there are also many options for savory breakfast, lunch and dinner.

There is also a large cabinet full of snacks next to the refrigerator. People usually call them junk food, but Banner still wants to try the long-lost chocolate.So he put the refrigerated beef under his arm and took out a bag of dumplings and bit into his mouth. When he was about to walk to the cabinet on the other side, the refrigerator spoke.

"Idiot with no education, close the door for me!"

He was taken aback, but fortunately he was still calm and Hulk wouldn't come out.

"What are you waiting for, idiot, close the door!"

Banner guessed that it might be an artificial intelligence-like voice system, which sounded like it was set to sound like that when the temper was not very good. He guessed it should be Stark's masterpiece, because it sounded like it.Although Banner was used to Jarvis, he had to apologize subconsciously when he was suddenly accused by a human-like voice.

The place where Banner is located is the middle floor of the Stark Building. The whole floor is occupied by the kitchen. The kitchen is huge and spotlessly clean. There are all kinds of frying pans and ovens in the closet, as well as all the housewives. All the kitchen utensils you could have dreamed of.The next door is a room dedicated to eating, which is also very large, but Banner has never stayed in it.

When Ma Linglong was in a good mood, she would hire a cook to cook a big meal and enjoy it with Stark.

"Hey, big guy," Stark patted Banner on the shoulder lightly, "don't worry about it, it's teasing you on purpose, it can close itself. I guess you must have offended the owner of the refrigerator recently, of course It's not me, everything here belongs to a pretty witch." Banner was startled again, but he still didn't turn green, which seemed to disappoint Stark, "I guess you're using This refrigerator combination, how did you eat before?"

"Takeaway." Banner said, "It's very convenient to order outside here. There are not only pizzas, but I can eat more varieties every day than I have in India for several years."

"Of course there's more than pizza." Stark took out a box of sandwich-like packaging from the refrigerator, and he threw it into the microwave. "Half of the restaurants nearby are from Linglong. Of course they want Deliver food here, order cook if you want, not eat them, of course."

Stark purposely messed up the placement of a pile of frozen food, and said, "Here's an interesting one for you."

The disturbed food slowly walks by itself (it is indeed a walking posture like a person) and returns to its original position.

"I guess it's magic?" Banner pinched one of the packaging bags with his fingers in surprise, "That is to say, that wasn't a voice prompt just now?" He tried to follow Stark's example and put the food in disorder, but the result The corner of the bag patted him.

Banner reluctantly thought that he had indeed offended a pretty girl.

"Obviously you can't," Stark said, triumphantly tearing open an opening for dried blueberries, "Actually, a third of this building is run by magic, such as sanitation, and self-healing. Broken glass or ceramics, except for some overly sophisticated instruments, the Rubik's Cube can repair all damage, and you don't have to worry about ruining this place if you become Hulk and do damage."

Banner felt that everything around Stark was so unbelievable. In fact, Stark himself was already very strange. Obviously, he should be the type of person least likely to believe in supernatural power, but he had no reservations. Believing in and accepting magic without forcing it is another science.Even Banner still thinks that wizards are like legends in fairy tales. He still thinks that Ma Linglong is a superpower, and magic belongs to the category of supernatural powers.

"Don't be surprised, Bruce, as I said, there are still many things in this world that we don't know about." Stark said, "Thinking of the Kiritas and their multi-legged spaceships, it is not surprising that wizards , most of them are moderates and will not take over Earth."

"How did you believe this at the time?" Banner took out several bowls from the cupboard, poured water from the faucet into the largest bowl, put the bowl on the induction cooker, and pressed the touch button Switch, "How long did it take you, or rather, how long did it take her to convince you of all this?"

"30 seconds." Stark said, "Did you only take your share?"

"Yes, you just said you wouldn't eat it." Banner was going to give him another copy. "You said 30 seconds. I believe you are joking. This is impossible. It is impossible for normal people to believe in magic immediately."

Stark said bluntly: "Then now the bowl belongs to me."

Banner smiled helplessly and did not refute, because everything here belonged to him.

He hasn't experienced what it's like to live in a stable state for a long time. Banner is always hiding. He is not an agent, but he is already quite familiar with how to cross the borders of some small countries without any identification, or Even if you find out, you have to change how to escape.

Banner has been forced to get used to life on the run since the appearance of the Hulk, but doesn't say he likes it, and he's tired.Then, Stark invited him, very sincerely, and even kindly wanted to give him a fixed residence, and he could do what he liked and was good at, which was originally a luxury for Banner.Here there is sufficient and delicious food and warm mattresses, and the door is open to him at any time, and he can walk in with confidence, and he can also come out at any time.

Banner can freely use all the things in the building without restriction. Of course, he later found out that not all of them, women's products must not be touched, and more importantly, he can't eat some limited-edition snacks without authorization.Banner clearly remembered that in the first few days when he first got along with Ma Linglong, he ate a box of cheesecake by mistake. Banner didn't know that it was not bought for him, but he was just too hungry. He worked ten days in a row. For a few hours, the cake happened to be on the work table within his reach.

Banner still remembers the look in Ma Linglong's eyes. She probably considered for a long time whether to drive the thief who ate the cake out of the building. He felt that she must be weighing the pros and cons, such as whether throwing him out would cause Hulk to appear Such considerations.After Banner made her a plate of muffins that tasted okay to express his apology, Ma Linglong reluctantly withdrew that look.

He felt that the magic of the refrigerator was aimed at him.

Stark took out a sandwich from the microwave and took a bite, then skillfully put the dumplings into the boiling water. This action also surprised Banner. He thought it was unlikely that Stark would do anything related to cooking, even if it was just The simple act of throwing frozen food into boiling water.

"She stuffed her memory into my head," Stark told Banner. "It only took 30 seconds, and it felt like it was my own experience." He accidentally dropped the After eating a dumpling, he picked it up and threw it into the bowl.

Something that came to Banner's mind: "Do you remember when we were on the carrier," he said, "You hit the cane to the ground, but it suddenly stopped in mid-air for a few seconds."

"It's hard to forget, you said it has a magnetic field, but I guess it's not caused by magnetic fields." Stark said, "Why are you talking about that all of a sudden?"

"You said you saw a person." Banner said, "You thought it was that person holding up his stick, so there was a brief pause."

"I think so now." Stark said, because the aircraft carrier was in chaos at that time, Stark had forgotten about it, and he didn't tell Ma Linglong afterwards.Suddenly mentioning it now, Stark recalled what he saw at that time, "Three years ago, I would never have thought in that direction, I mean, ghosts and the like. But I have seen ghosts, and some Believe it or not, Bruce, there are really animals that have lived for thousands of years in this world.”

"For example, that dragon?" Banner asked.

Stark nodded: "I have communicated with some of them. Of course, as you said, ghosts are a kind of magnetic field. I thought so at first. However, the real situation is not that simple, it is not just a magnetic field , but more like another way of life after death."

Banner looked at him, disbelieving and trying to find the point of his words very seriously.

"Sorry, big man, I can't tell you the more shocking facts I saw." It was a secret about Ma Linglong's parents. Only then kept it a secret, "What I want to express is that what you said is actually right, no matter magic or ghosts, they are indeed a kind of energy, maybe we can use this energy to use it in our research."

Faced with Stark's sudden turn, Banner was a little unresponsive: "What did you say?"

"I know this is a crazy idea. In fact, I have been thinking about this question, why can't magic be combined with technology?" Stark shrugged after jumping for joy, "But unfortunately, I still have no idea."

"Tony, have you ever thought about..."

"Of course I have thought about it. I know it's dangerous to do so. After all, magic is not something we are familiar with, and my baby Linglong seems to have little interest in this area. She thinks that Muggles... that's why we don't like it." People who know magic should respect magic and not try to use it, of course she doesn't object to me doing this." Stark twisted his buttocks and said joyfully, "Did you know that Linglong is actually on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology? She went to school, but she didn't graduate, and her major was terrible. But she is very accomplished in the field of magic, as smart as me, and she is very sexy. She is the sexiest witch in the wizarding world. I really hope you can go to Hogwarts once Here, it is a school for wizards, just in England, you will find many things that violate Einstein's theory..."

"No, wait, Tony, I didn't want to discuss this with you." Banner had to interrupt his chatter, "Don't you think it's strange that if what you saw on the aircraft carrier was a ghost, why would that A ghost will appear above, who is he?"

Washington DC--

Ma Linglong parked the car on the side of the road. Howard had just left the passenger seat and went back to Steve. She needed a little time to digest.

Howard is not the same as before, he can materialize, just like Dani.He can be seen by some people, if he wants to, he is no longer the cynical young scientist he was before, because he remembered everything, from life to death, so he became a lot more stable, although he was still funny and humorous.

Howard guessed that Stark's dying act stimulated his brain, although he didn't have any such things at all.However, when he saw Stark dragging the nuclear bomb and flying towards the wormhole recklessly, Howard suddenly remembered everything. Of course, there may be a cane in it.He is not bound by Captain America now, he can go further, and there are limits, but it is farther than before, at least he doesn't have to pass the time by admiring Captain America's naked ti.

He only needs to think about it, and he can reach Stark's side in an instant, like Apparating.

But that's not Apparation, it's actually a radio connection, Howard and Stark have a parent-child relationship, so he can go wherever there is Stark as he pleases.

Ma Linglong thought he would disappear because of this, after all he had recovered his memory, and the girl was always ready to do a decent ceremony for her future father-in-law.

But he didn't disappear, he seemed to be still nostalgic for something, and he couldn't reincarnate.Howard never told Ma Linglong what was bothering him about what he remembered, he just told Ma Linglong that it had something to do with his death, and he hoped that neither Stark nor Steve would ever Discover his true cause of death.

They talked for a long time in the car, Howard said he was glad Stark met a girl like Ma Linglong, he said his education was a failure, in fact, he never educated him at all.Howard was sorry that he was no longer able to fulfill his duties as a father when he realized that his son had become polarized.

Listening to an old father scolding her, Ma Linglong forced back the blame she originally wanted to say. Howard was already so guilty. There was no need for Ma Linglong to make a ghost more embarrassing. Become close relatives, why make the atmosphere so embarrassing.

Ma Linglong finally promised Howard to keep the secret for him, just like before, he would pretend that he was still transparent.

Someone knocked on the glass outside the car window, and Ma Linglong turned to look: "Romanov?" She rolled down the car window.

"I was just passing by," said Natasha, who was rarely dressed casually. "I guess you don't know about the sale at 'Tysons Corner' today?"

Ma Linglong pointed to the passenger seat: "Get in the car."

"Tysons Corner", the largest shopping mall in Washington DC, although Stark has repaired a wardrobe that looks like a small shopping mall for Ma Linglong, but it is a pleasure to personally choose the dresses, shoes, and even jewelry that you like. This seems to be an ancestral hobby of the women of the Ma family. Almost all the women of the Ma family she knows like to shop to relieve stress.

Natasha is obviously also very experienced in shopping. It can be seen that she has done enough homework before coming to the shopping mall. She is more familiar with which brands have the biggest discounts today and which brands have the widest selection of products. The guise of the discount is really for sales, not worth the time.Natasha's aesthetics are also surprisingly consistent with Ma Linglong's, including the rhythm of shopping. She doesn't talk too much, and places an order when she looks good. Sometimes she doesn't even try it on, and Ma Linglong is the same.The two showed a wonderful sense of tacit understanding, as if they were really best friends who had been together for many years, as the salesperson thought.

In less than three hours, the two girls had several large bags in their hands. Ma Linglong bought half of them for herself and half for Stark. She even picked out a pair of glasses for Dr. Banner.

It is difficult for Ma Linglong to understand that as a person whose genes have been changed by gamma rays, he can become invincible after the mutation, but he still cannot get rid of the problem of high myopia after restoring his original appearance.

Women always forget to sleep and eat when they go shopping. When Ma Linglong noticed the time again, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. In order to thank Natasha for choosing so many beautiful clothes for her and saving her a lot of time, Ma Linglong planned to Inviting the female agent to lunch, Natasha did not refuse.

Ma Linglong chose a high-end restaurant with pitifully few people, but the service was very attentive. According to her request, the waiter arranged for them a private seat slightly away from the main hall.

After the two ordered their meals separately, they handed the menu to the waiter, and then Ma Linglong found that Natasha and her favorite food were similar.

"Let's talk." Ma Linglong said, "The reason you're looking for me is that S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to spend money and eliminate disasters again?"

"Why can't I just go shopping with you?" Natasha said with a smile.

"Shopping time is now over."

Whether Natasha is really compatible with Ma Linglong, the girl can't be sure. The female agent has more than half a century of experience in disguise. She can become friends with anyone, whether it is behavior or spirit. Know everything about you and meet your needs.It's not that Natasha doesn't like today's things at all, but she is definitely not the kind of woman who vents on shopping or is keen on shopping. Everything she does has a purpose, for herself and for others.

"Okay." Natasha took a sip of the lemonade in the glass.

Ma Linglong noticed that when there were guests at the door who wanted to enter, they were stopped by the waiter just now.

"Loki's cane, do you want to keep it?" Natasha said straight to the point.

"You want it?"

"SHIELD wants it."

"Nick Fury wants it."

After Thor took away the Rubik's Cube, Fury lost an important source of energy. He couldn't go against the will of the "God", so he naturally put his mind on the cane.Compared with the sacred "god", it is always more convenient to do business with the people on earth.

Ma Linglong said to her, "Before that, how were you sure that I would choose this place?"

Natasha smiled gently. She knew that the witch opposite had already noticed the clue. The waiters in this high-end restaurant were all agents arranged by S.H.I.E.L.D.: "We don't know." She said, "We don't need to know, you don't care No matter which restaurant you walk into, our people can take the place of the waiters.”

Ma Linglong didn't show any displeasure, probably because she had a good impression of Natasha, and she didn't think a group of Muggles could pose any threat to herself: "That is to say, this meal at noon is free ?”

"Yes." Natasha replied, she had expected it.

Ma Linglong raised his arm, and the agent who was acting as a waiter came over. He was well-trained and showed the cultivation of a high-level waiter: "What would you like, miss?"

"One serving of everything on the menu." Ma Linglong said bluntly, "including drinks, and two servings of dessert."

The waiter took note of Ma Linglong's request, and withdrew without any doubt or surprise.

Ma Linglong's appetite didn't feel any discomfort at all because she was being watched: "If I refuse, what will you do?"

Natasha said honestly: "I think we will take turns shopping and eating with you until you feel sorry for it." In fact, she expressed in a very euphemistic way that S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Who are the people behind you?" Ma Linglong asked with interest.

At this time, another waiter came over with a tray, and he respectfully placed the pudding cups on the tray in front of Ma Linglong and Natasha.

"What do you think of him?" Natasha glanced at the waiter.

The waiter was quite handsome, and the smile he showed at Ma Linglong was charming enough.

"If your wife knows that your job also includes shopping and eating with other women, and you even need to pay for it, but you neglect to do this with her, I don't think she will be happy." Ma Linglong said , without making any cover-ups to expose the other party's bottom, of course she doesn't know him, but she can tell through simple divination, "I guess you didn't tell your wife what kind of job you are in, right?"

Every word she said made the waiter's face more and more ugly until the smile disappeared.

"You can go." Ma Linglong said, "You are no longer needed here." She said to Natasha, "Is there anyone else?"

"I think it's better to forget it." Natasha said pretending to be relaxed, "We don't want you to disclose everyone's secrets, so you can offer an exchange now."

Ma Linglong fed a spoonful of pudding that melted in the mouth: "If I say, I don't want to?"
