[Superman] Number One Enemy

It's all for Brandon.Audrey told herself.

It's Christmas after all.She couldn't always be cruel to keep Brandon from seeing his father.When Brandon finds out about his relationship with Clark in the future, he will definitely be angry with her.At least Christmas would bring them together so she'd be less guilty facing Brandon.

For Christmas, the Barnes family's plan is to be at home with each other and with the kids.It's rare for everyone to have a vacation.

Early in the morning, Natasha and James were busy in the kitchen. Raven and Charles arrived first. They chatted with Audrey in the living room and watched Steve play badminton with Brandon in the courtyard.

"Who did you invite?" Raven asked.

"You guys." Audrey replied, seeing Natasha come out with a fruit plate, she walked over to help.

Ruiwen looked suspiciously at Audrey's back.Her intuition told her something was wrong.She turned her head and looked at Charles.

The doorbell rang at this moment.

"Oh, someone's coming," Charles said, smiling, pushing his wheelchair toward the door.

Audrey placed the fruit bowl in the center of the table and glanced at her watch.Nine o'clock sharp.

She looked up and saw Brandon cheering loudly, running barefoot across most of the courtyard, and swooping on Clark.Also, Riven's expression of disbelief.

"You invited him?" Riven stared at Audrey and asked silently with her lips.

"What?" Audrey replied, with the same silent lip language, and with obvious expressions, pointing to the Superman father and son in the courtyard, "Today is Christmas! He is Brandon's father, I want Brandon to happy."

Raven raised her eyebrows and declined to comment.Audrey turned her head and found that the Barnes and his wife in the kitchen area were poking their heads out, caring for her together with smiling faces.

"You guys are enough." Audrey frowned helplessly.

James exchanged glances with Natasha and joked, "Isn't your target Steve?"

Audrey rolled her eyes.She walked to the kitchen area and waved her hands again and again, "I'll just come here."

Natasha took off her rubber gloves; she had been handling the turkey. "Honey, someone needs to hide in the kitchen, let's give her this space quickly," she said to James with a smile, pulling her man away from the kitchen area.

Audrey really didn't want to admit that Natasha was right.She was hiding in the kitchen.Clark is here!Well, of course Clark will come.She really shouldn't be impulsive at the beginning, but now it's useless to regret it, so she can only bite the bullet.

Clark hugged Brandon and greeted everyone in the house in sequence.He knew that the way Mystique looked at him was a bit subtle, and he could also read the hint of a good show in the smile of the Black Widow, as well as the encouragement in the eyes of Captain America, and the friendly attitude with Professor X and the Winter Soldier post-scrutiny.

However, Clark didn't understand what was happening here...

Confused, Clark decided to act as if he hadn't noticed anything, took Brandon into the kitchen, and said good morning to Audrey.

Audrey was burying her head in the roast turkey for dinner.There are fresh shrimp, salmon, pasta and potatoes waiting for someone to cook.

"Mommy! My Christmas present!" Brandon yelled, sitting on Clark's shoulders, holding Clark's head, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Superman is your Christmas present." Audrey replied without looking up, poking open the chicken breast and stuffing spices inside.

"Am I his Christmas present?" Clark laughed.

"Yes, you are." Audrey raised her eyebrows, glanced at the father and son, and immediately lowered her head with guilt.Her god, it's a good thing there's no mirror here.Their facial similarities are really high...

"Brandon! Come out, Uncle Clint and the others are here!"

The arrival of the Clint family represents the arrival of Brandon's playmates.Brandon hurriedly asked Clark to let him go to the ground, took two steps, turned around as if he was afraid that Clark would disappear, and dragged Clark out.

"Don't worry, I'll be with you all day." Clark patted Brandon's head, smiled and comforted the child, "I'm your Christmas present today."

Audrey decided to keep silent.She no longer wants to make any comments on the unknown embarrassing situation in front of her.I sigh that she is as smart as her, and sometimes she digs a hole for herself to jump.This alien in red and blue tights is her lifelong nemesis.

One after another, all the guests invited by Audrey arrived.Tony and Pepper stayed overnight last night. In addition to the Clint family, the Avengers also included the twins, Falcon Sam, Dr. Banner, Vision, and the newly added little spider Peter.

Charles wants to take care of the academy, so he will probably go back earlier than Ruiwen.Hank and Alex are late, and Wolverine pays a visit with super strong vodka.There is also a magical friend that Brandon made when he was lost in England—the Wesley twins who can magic, and later became Audrey’s investment objects, bringing many magic props that Muggles can easily use, which is very interesting. The stuff heats up the party atmosphere.

This Christmas, the Barnes family prepares for the guests, there are appetizers, shrimp and cream baked eggs, baked pepper salmon, vegetable beef consommé, and French potato soup, with baguettes, buns, and well-made Olive oil dipping sauce.

For the main course, there are classic herb grilled chicken, citrus-flavored sage grilled chicken, Lemon steak with cherry red wine sauce, Provence grilled lamb chops, Caesar salad, wine vinegar salad, and seafood gratin rice, Spicy angel noodles fried in olive oil.

For dessert, they have a variety of exquisite desserts brought by the Wesley Brothers from Honeydukes, the most famous dessert shop in the wizarding world of London, England.

Clark stayed in the kitchen to help Audrey.He was quick and precise with his knives, and he was clearly good at cooking.

While other people are chatting outside and the children are playing in the courtyard, the kitchen area is as quiet as a parallel dimension.

"Uh... there are quite a lot of customers." Clark tried to chat with Audrey.

"Hmm." But Audrey didn't care much.

"You're well connected. Those twins are amazing."

"uh-huh."

"... Audrey."

"Kent, has the lettuce been washed?"

Clark took a deep breath, sighing.Sometimes he really wanted to ask himself, knowing that Audrey was an iceberg, cold and hard to get close to, why he still wanted to get closer.

"It's been washed." Clark replied, temporarily dismissing the idea of ​​chatting with Audrey.

Audrey picked up the lettuce and glanced at Clark.After a moment of silence, she asked suddenly.

"Christmas, why don't you meet Louise?"

Clark almost slipped his hand and sprinkled too much spice on the lamb chops.

"Not quite," Clark replied, choosing his words carefully.He looked at the lamb chops in his hand, and unconsciously flattened his lips slightly, "Although I still love...it's because I love her, and I don't want to destroy her current happiness."

Audrey gave Clark a blank look. "You've already ruined it, handsome guy. Your appearance means that the Whites will sign the divorce agreement."

Clark couldn't laugh or cry, and sighed. "You have to hurt me, Audrey."

"You don't get it, it's Avengers style. We're going to be shitty. Welcome to New York."

Clark laughed.

Just at this time, Peter and Tony join hands and face the Wesley twins, and the two sides start a debate contest.New York-style black humor, and London-style high-end ridicule, whoever wins is the king of the fight.

"...Okay, I feel it." Clark turned sideways, poked his head out, glanced at the highly competitive quarrel contest, and was a little worried that someone would fight later.

"Don't worry." Audrey didn't look back at all, and concentrated on washing the peppers. "They dare not do anything in my house. This is an international ceasefire zone."

Clark looked at Audrey in admiration.

Afterwards, Clint's wife Laura and Pepper all went into the kitchen to help, Natasha also came back, and Audrey went to accompany Brandon.Natasha chased Clark out of the kitchen after he finished preparing the roast chicken.

Everyone gathers in the game hall.Clark walked to the door of the game hall and saw Audrey dancing.

It's still a cute dance.

Clark immediately stopped and leaned against the door frame. Seeing Audrey being forced to accompany Brandon and imitate the dance moves on TV, he couldn't help laughing and turned his head away with a smile.

The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver who were closer to the door noticed Clark first.

Then, Audrey, who was dancing with Brandon, also found Clark.

In an instant, Audrey's smile froze on her face.This made Clark want to laugh even more.

In fact, this dance is very cute, and Audrey's dance is even cuter. Clark really likes Audrey's smile when she dances. In that smile, there is a hint of tolerance and helplessness for Brandon, and it is also because of the reunion with relatives and friends. tender joy.

But as soon as the dance was over... Clark thought he was going to die a terrible death.

Brandon ran to Clark, yelling for Clark to hug him again.Clark had nothing to do with Brandon, picked up the child, and seeing Audrey staring at him, walked over.

Everyone else is watching.

In embarrassment, Clark found that he was silently used to this Audrey's so-called Avenger style...that is, tossing each other and watching each other.What is going on with this team!Isn't helping each other in their dictionary!

"I swear I don't make any judgments." Clark immediately put Brandon on his shoulders and held up his hands in surrender.

Brandon imitated Clark's movements and smiled happily. "We dance really well, don't we!"

"You'd better not let my son fall." Audrey raised her eyebrows coldly, staring nervously at Brandon sitting on Clark's shoulder.

"Brandon has great balance," Clarke praised, carrying Brandon outside. "Come on, Brandon, let's go outside and play. Stop making your mommy dance, she's going to kill me." .”
