The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Until two o'clock in the afternoon, Stark was immersed in Ma Linglong's active comfort and intimacy. He pretended to be a victim of a great humiliation (and it was true), and Ma Linglong was the one who deeply Someone who hurt him and is trying to make up for his mistakes.Stark enjoyed the moment when Ma Linglong treated him sweetly. Even though the girl couldn't say many sweet words, he liked the way Ma Linglong was sticking to him.

Of course, Stark didn't complain to Ma Linglong for what happened that day, what's more, he had already seen the video Howard left him. In it, I experienced my father's love and all kinds of helplessness towards the government's actions back then.

For his past experience, Stark completely let go, whether it was a not-so-good childhood, or the fetters between Steve and Howard, or, the life and death of Bucky and Stark's parents, everything has changed. It doesn't sensitize him so much anymore.

It's like the joy of being reborn.

"I'm planning to go to Wayne Manor, do you want to go with me?"

Ma Linglong's words broke Stark's exclusive experience as a "victim", so he replied dissatisfied: "You haven't made me happy yet." When he said this, he rubbed his face subconsciously. Rubbing the wrist of the left hand, the joints in that part had been hit by a heavy object and there was a little pain.Stark has dealt with it in time, but the faint sores still appear from time to time, after all, it has only been a week since he was injured, "and, I have an important hearing to attend at three o'clock in the afternoon, although I don't Don't want to go, but you know, it's about Captain America and Bucky, and I don't want to see politicians accusing them of their behavior with their self-righteous logic."

Ma Linglong noticed Stark's small movements, she guessed that he might have been injured in the previous few battles, but she was not in the mood to care who caused it: "The little bat died a quarter of an hour ago, it Hopefully I can bury it in the Batcave at Wayne Manor, so I may not be able to coax you for a while, but if you'd like to accompany me, maybe we can continue on the road."

Stark froze, his body stayed in place stiffly, he was a little unresponsive at first, he hadn't seen the shadow of the little bat for a long time, so much so that he almost forgot that Ma Linglong had a bat that could understand The magical bat in human language, they once carried out missions together. At that time, Stark was a fat big cat: "The little bat is dead, who did it!?" He looked at Ma Linglong and said "victim" to himself. The identity of "the author" was instantly discarded, and Stark finally remembered that he should go to his wife.

"No one died naturally." Ma Linglong said, "It couldn't eat normally a year ago, and its hearing and vision were also impaired."

In fact, the little bat was different from ordinary bats. It grew up beside Ma Linglong and absorbed and ate a lot of substances containing aura.These substances make its thinking close to that of human beings, its body becomes stronger than ordinary bats, and it also has a certain amount of mana. If it is not hit by Draco's magic to the vital parts, the little bat can actually live another 10 years, even 20 years.

Stark hugged Ma Linglong's shoulders tightly, and said sadly: "I'm sorry dear, I haven't paid attention to the issue of the little bat, and I kind of ignored its existence." Stark felt very guilty, the little bat He once helped him and brought him a lot of happiness. As long as he has known Ma Linglong, he has known Little Bat for as long as he has known him.

He believed that Ma Linglong was in a very unhappy mood these days. Not only did she have to accompany Stark and say sweet words to him, but she also had to worry about the little bat's physical condition.

And Stark didn't know anything about it.

Stark never thought that it was just a little pet. For a long time, when Ma Linglong was not around him, Stark would talk to the little bat, and of course whine more.

This black bird always likes to sit by Stark's workbench and watch him beating, quietly like a small toy. Now it seems that the reason why Stark ignores the existence of the little bat is because of started years ago.It no longer appeared in front of men like before. Thinking about it, the reason might be because the little bat knew that he was about to reach the end of his life, so he deliberately alienated Stark.

"There's nothing to apologize for. It's already 30 years old." Ma Linglong was a little indifferent, but there was still a hint of sadness in the conversation, "As far as a bat is concerned, it has lived long enough."

Stark never thought that the little bat would die one day, he thought it could live longer: "You must be very sad." Stark said, at least he was sad when he heard about it, "You If you want to cry..."

"I don't want to cry." Ma Linglong said with a smile, "I knew it would die today a year ago, but if you are willing to accompany it on the last journey to Wayne Manor with me, I would be very happy, little The bat will be very happy too, you know, it likes you very much."

Stark canceled the hearing schedule, and he let Vision sit in the most important position of the High Court instead of himself. He believed that Vision could be alone, even more suitable for such an occasion than him.In the end, the results of the hearing were quite satisfactory. The United Nations government temporarily revoked the implementation rights of the "Sokovia Agreement". Naturally, T'Challa's participation was indispensable. The original "Sokovia Agreement" was also Wakanda The policy implemented by the previous king, and T'Challa at that time actually did not agree with such an agreement.

As Vision said, T'Challa is a wise man, and he is well aware that the hidden political factors behind the agreement are not fair to those who signed the agreement.

In addition, Captain America has become a wanted man, and although Stark has tried his best to get rid of this ridiculous crime, the government seems to have made up his mind to stop treating him as a hero, at least on TV. There will be no more commercials for this (Stark remembers Steve making a lot of hilarious educational clips around the time he was back in the limelight).

Maybe it's because Steve didn't accept the call from the Ministry of Defense, he no longer serves the country, and Bucky doesn't seem to plan to join any organization as an incorporated agent, like Natasha once did.

So they all pissed off their country.

Obviously Steve doesn't care about the so-called honor. He and Stark said before parting that he wants to find his own life, but he is still Captain America. As long as Stark needs him and the Avengers needs him, he will definitely Coming back, the only regret is probably that they can no longer have a happy party after a successful action together.

Stark and Steve shake hands and say goodbye without a hug or redundant conversation, perhaps because he doesn't think he'll ever really lose track of Captain America, given that the satellites Stark launches into space can take heat from the center of the Earth The sensors are all scanned.He was very happy (or gloating) to see Steve being so tough on the government, which made Stark ready to re-examine whether he was a little too conniving with the government, so that they mistakenly think Tony Stark Ke is very talkative.

"It's a pity, the battle between Iron Man and Captain America must be very worthy of appreciation." Bruce Wayne said with some regret, "I missed this wonderful battle."

"It's nothing to watch." Stark said triumphantly, "He is not my opponent."

"It's hard to say, if he is not bound by magic." Bruce said, "Despite your high technology, Captain America is a military strategist."

Stark said: "You mean I'm not smart enough?"

"When it comes to fighting, you are really not enough."

Ma Linglong held a brief funeral for the little bat in the bat cave under the Wayne Manor. Stark and Bruce participated in it very cooperatively. The funeral ended a few minutes ago in a burst of chirping noises. Long drove all the bats to fly around the rock wall three times, and the cries of the bats seemed to be urgent wailing.

"Listen." Stark said to Ma Linglong, "Batman thinks I'm not as good as Captain America. He's not immortal. A tiny bullet can hurt him, and my pulse laser can Cut him into several pieces."

"Superman's laser can also cut me into several pieces." Bruce continued, "I think you should have heard about the battle between Batman and Superman."

"I guess the picture must be very exciting." Stark said with a sarcasm, "You were crushed by Superman."

"It was exciting enough," Bruce said, "but in the end I won, and I didn't even have a serious injury, just two broken ribs."

"So you want to teach me the experience of fighting, so that I can only break two ribs when the same thing happens in the future?" Stark took a sip of his favorite whiskey, and he let his experience with Steve The reason Bruce knew was because he thought Bruce would be taken aback.

But Batman was as calm as ever, and he said to Stark in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "Of course the process of victory is diversified, and my method may not be suitable for you. But, have you ever thought about it, if there is no Lillian this time, What will become of you and Captain America?"

"You..." Stark stretched out his index finger and drew circles in front of the other party, he pulled the pause in his tone, and said, "You don't intend to preach to me, in fact, the conflict between me and Steve It's more of misunderstandings one after another, I believe that even without Linglong, as long as the misunderstandings are solved, the result will definitely be the same as it is now."

"You really think so?" Bruce looked at Ma Linglong who was silent, he noticed that the whiskey in the girl's glass hadn't touched a sip until now, it's not like her style, "Then I guess you might Didn't realize, Tony, the enemy you're facing, he couldn't have knocked any of you down, yet he's brought the entire Avengers into his plan from the start, and you've all been fooled."

Stark moved his lips, he was a little unconvinced, but he didn't speak out to refute.

"He knows that the captain's weakness is Barnes, and Barnes is likely to become your enemy. His goal is very clear, so that the rift between you will expand to the entire alliance." Bruce paused slightly, "He Almost made it, although in the end he didn't, because he couldn't count the magic part." Stark was about to say something, but Bruce cut him off, "I hope you understand that you're dealing with a terrible Enemy, even though he doesn't have superpowers or superweapons, he's already played Iron Man and Captain America around, and I think we'll have to add the Winter Soldier."

Stark adjusted his sitting position uncomfortably, he felt a sudden grip of fear, questions that Stark hadn't thought about, and he wasn't sure Steve had.This was indeed terrifying. If Ma Linglong hadn't stopped his behavior in time, the result would never be as easy as it is now.

He'd break with Steve, he'd be an enemy, he'd hurt Bucky, he'd hurt Steve, and whoever it was, Stark didn't want them hurt because of him.

And at that time, Stark couldn't control his furious behavior at all.

"Tony," Bruce said, "I don't intend to teach you a lesson. On the contrary, I support most of your views. I think I have reminded you that there is so much darkness in this world that you have never seen. You and many superheroes It's different, your background, your personality has exposed your weaknesses to the sun. You imagine crime too directly, you should learn about those darker things, it will help you next time Falling so easily into the enemy's trap."

"Hey." Stark whispered to express his dissatisfaction, "Your tone doesn't sound like a friend's, okay?"

Bruce shrugged, and secretly let go of his fisted hands: "Anyway, I have experienced more than you, whether you admit it or not." He said, "You'd better listen, after all, you are a family A superhero in the family room, or you can choose to divorce, so at least you don’t have to worry about the enemy taking advantage of your family and threatening you to hand over things you don’t want to hand over.”

Ma Linglong flicked Stark's head lightly with his fingertips. He was just staring at the night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows in a daze.

Stark was terrified by Bruce Wayne's words. He revisited the issues he had ignored in the past, and he thought of himself in another world, the female Toni.She once mentioned the death of Steve Rogers in a certain parallel world. Although Stark was not responsible for it, the cause of the consequences was indeed related to him.

Stark bit Ma Linglong's finger in his mouth, and he turned up the water temperature in the bath, and the heat immediately filled the air: "I mean, if, at that time, I wanted Barnes to die, you would really have killed him ?"

"No." Ma Linglong said, "But I have many ways to make you think I killed him."

Stark was obviously relieved. He hadn't thought about this issue for the past few days. He suddenly realized just now that his impulsiveness might lead to irreversible consequences.Stark was very happy that Ma Linglong always put him first, but he didn't want Ma Linglong to condone all his behaviors when he lost his cool: "If I do something wrong, you have to stop me in time, okay? No matter what I was doing, even if you wanted to be on my side."

"Of course, I think I've stopped you from doing too many stupid things to count." Actually, Ma Linglong just seemed to let Stark have his way.

Stark lowered his head and kissed Ma Linglong's forehead: "Without you, I guess I would have died several times, or let others die several times."

"You don't seem to mind that Howard is not by your side." Ma Linglong quickly changed the subject, "I thought you would at least be frustrated because Howard's soul was inseparable from Steve."

"It was a little shocking when I first found out." Stark said, rubbing his beard against Ma Linglong's face, "but I understand him, I mean, I seem to know why he cares more about Captain America, Not because of me."

Ma Linglong looked into his eyes.

"Captain America is my father's invention, well, I know the person in question wouldn't want to hear me describe him as an object, but that's the way it is, and Steve couldn't hear it anyway," Stark said, "but For some reason, he lost his 'invention', so he's been trying to find it. Howard must have been very worried that Steve would be found first by someone else, because it was a 'weapon', a 'weapon' created by Howard ’, he would not want his weapon to fall into the wrong hands.”

Yes, Stark finally figured out what he had complained about, and he felt he should have understood it long ago. He created the steel armor and refused to hand over this cutting-edge technology to the state or any department.

His mood is the same as Howard's, the only difference is that Captain America has flesh and blood, while the armor is a bit cold.

"I have an idea." Stark continued, "I plan to sell this building, would you like to, since the ownership of this building is yours."

"Why?" Ma Linglong asked.

"It's too ostentatious." Stark said, "Think about it, the center of New York is actually not suitable for building conspicuous buildings. It looks like telling every enemy 'come and attack me'. It's not fair to civilians, I don't think it's fair, well, it's not fair."

Ma Linglong didn't think for too long, she nodded, and then looked out the window at the feasting lights.

From the Stark Tower to the Avengers Tower, the tallest and most special building in the center of New York still stands, but it also suffers the most frequent damage, and at the same time, the surrounding buildings and houses also suffer.Although this place is full of memories, Ma Linglong doesn't care that she and Stark go to other places to make new memories.

"Happy birthday." Ma Linglong said suddenly, and she saw the hands of a huge circular clock face opposite the building overlapping together, which heralded the beginning of the next day and the end of today.

Stark smiled and said, "Oh, you remember every year."

Ma Linglong raised his hand, and the steel cat squeezed in through the door crack outside the bathroom with light steps: "This is my birthday present for you."

"I remember I gave it to you," Stark said dryly.

The steel cat jumped onto the bathtub, stepped on the edge of the bathtub and sat obediently, with the metal cat's mouth slightly opened, and then made a childish voice that was both male and female: "Dad, nice to meet you, see you in January next year."

"It's nice to meet you too, little cat." Stark touched the head of the steel cat, "I think we can meet every day."

Ma Linglong couldn't help laughing.

"Dad, nice to meet you, see you next January." The steel cat's vocal system repeated again.

Stark suddenly realized something. He stared at the Iron Cat for a while, then sat up suddenly, and the water splashed on the Iron Cat's face: "Are you kidding!?" Stark hugged tightly. She touched Ma Linglong's shoulder and said, "This is impossible, right, you just, just want to make me happy!"

"I'm pretty sure I'm not. I've been pregnant for a month, and I haven't told you." Ma Linglong sweetly put her arms around Stark's waist, which was tense from excitement, "Calculate the time, you have at least half a year's internship Expect."

"Internship, what is an internship?" Stark's eyes were foggy, and he wanted to scream loudly, God, Tony Stark is going to be a father!

"How to be a qualified father in practice." Ma Linglong said, "Do you like it, the birthday present I prepared for you?"

Stark wanted to hug Ma Linglong with all his strength, but he restrained the urge. He carefully took the girl into his arms and said with a choked voice, "You are really the worst witch in the world!"

The author has something to say:

Yes, you read that right, there is a finale, and the next part will mainly contain the plot of the Spider-Man movie~

The update time for the final ending is this Sunday night from 9:10 to [-]:[-]~

I have always felt that as the two most famous rich men and superheroes in Marvel and DC, there is a clear difference between Nini and Big Bat. The former is more pure. If they are friends, Big Bat will definitely worry about Nini.

Regarding the setting of selling the Avengers Building, it was mentioned in the Spider-Man movie. Anyone who has watched the movie must know~
