[Zhongyingmei] The number one black powder

Veronica sat by the window, opposite the Avengers Building, and tourists in twos and threes took pictures in front of this 24-hour brightly lit attraction.

They are in a fast food restaurant and there is no better option at this point.

Tony was ordering at the bar, and she sat on the seat and looked at this small shop boredly, and then looked outside.

Across the street, where the two tourists took pictures just now stood a man with a hood and his head bowed.People are always nervous and curious about the unknown, the harder it is to see that face clearly, the more Veronica wants to see it clearly.She narrowed her eyes and stared at the man closely.And the other party stood there, facing her, not walking away.He must have known Veronica was watching him, so he pointed to the watch on his wrist.Veronica suddenly knew that he wanted to express that time was running out.

——But, why is time running out?

She thought suspiciously, and then saw the man look up.The street light finally shone on his face, and Veronica realized that it was not him, but her.It was a familiar face, even though she hadn't seen it for ten years, she still recognized her at a glance.But that couldn't be, they told her, she was dead.Maybe it was a ghost, so it looked exactly the same as it did more than ten years ago.

Veronica opened her mouth in surprise and wanted to stand up.And Tony just came over, he took the plate and walked to the position opposite her, put down the plate and said, "What are you looking at?"

"I..." Veronica glanced at him distractedly, and then pointed outside, "I'm looking at that person." She turned her head again, and there was no one there.

"Which person?" Tony turned his head and looked over, but saw nothing.

"It's nothing." Veronica withdrew her hand, wanting to show that it was okay, but still couldn't help but glance in that direction.

A potato chip was stuffed into her mouth when she was distracted.Tony withdrew his hand and watched Veronica's eyes wide open while biting half of the French fries. It felt so cute that he couldn't help but reach over and bite down on the remaining half of the French fries that was exposed from her mouth.

When he sat back in his seat, Veronica couldn't help but roll her eyes because of his smug smile: "It's unbelievable that Tony Stark is grabbing a girl's french fries at a hamburger restaurant, and there are so many on the table .”

"Those French fries are not 'yours', they have no soul." Tony leaned on the chair and casually picked one up and put half of it in his mouth, "You can get revenge."

"Childish." Veronica shook her head and didn't accept his move, but reached out to pick up a hamburger. "Before I came out, Pep told me that I can't follow you in everything."

"Yeah, she always likes to tear down my desk." Tony didn't move anything, he leaned on his chin with one hand, slowly chewing a French fries while looking at Veronica "She asked me on the phone before It's not 'playing' too much and hurting you." He grimaced "I can't believe she thinks I'm that kind of person."

"What are you playing?" Veronica didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, she stopped unpacking and asked curiously.

"Uh..." Thinking of Veronica's definition of 'going to bed' before, Tony got stuck for a while, and finally waved his hand vaguely, "This is a bit complicated, I will explain it to you later."

"Oh." Veronica said, she thought of something, and from the expression, Tony thought she was right, because her face was flushed, and she suddenly became very interested in the hamburger in her hand, and she immersed herself in studying the sesame seeds on the bread.

It's kind of cute.Tony had seen Veronica look a lot, jumpy, pure joy, frowning thinking and glazed over...but the shyness was new and very cute.

"Can you stop looking at me like that?" Tony must have been watching for a while, because in the blink of an eye Veronica had crumpled up the leftover wrapping paper and threw it on the table.

Tony lowered his gaze a little, restrained the smile on his face a little: "I was thinking about something just now."

"What?" Veronica picked up a French fries, dipped some ketchup, and asked casually.

"I was thinking you knew a lot about me," Tony said, thinking about his conversation with Bucky in the library earlier today "but I don't know anything about you."

"You care very much that I'm from Hydra." Veronica asked firmly.

"No... well, kind of." Tony finally admitted that he wanted to be able to communicate honestly with the other party. "It's kind of weird, and... mostly kind of weird." it's me?"

"Otherwise, who do you think it should be? Captain America?" Veronica guessed exactly what he was thinking, so there was nothing to deny, and Tony nodded.

"There are too many Hydras who are obsessed with Captain America." Veronica stirs in ketchup with French fries "And I don't like the story of Captain America's birth, I like yours."

Tony's expression became a little quizzical. "You mean you prefer stories about stuffing people into a big jar than injecting a small vial of stuff into a person?"

"...It's like this." Veronica tilted her head and thought for a while, and then agreed, "An unstable serum, the lucky one among the selected soldiers, a random probability event generated by chance, too many A certainty. And your story, building a weapon in a cave with your own knowledge and shooting it, sounds like an inevitable event. Scientists like inevitable events."

"Be careful, scientist, you are questioning God."

"If he doesn't want me to question, he shouldn't be holding the dice." Veronica replied him "In short, I have been thinking before I met you, and if I have the opportunity to meet you in real life, I must ask you one question."

"what is the problem?"

"Are you feeling pain?" Veronica's question hit Tony unexpectedly and unexpectedly. He stopped all his movements and looked at her in surprise. In an instant, he knew that what she asked was not just simple. Is he good or not.

"You are a futurist, your eyes see longer than others, you see the changes in the world, you see the changes of these things in 20 years, 100 years or even 1000 years, but others can't see See, they can't see what you see. Does that bother you? Have you ever suffered from the stupid and inefficient pace of human evolution?"

Tony wanted to say no, but that was a lie.He felt that all the time, when he was trying to explain something to someone else before it happened.And it was the first time that he was asked so bluntly. His heart felt a distorted and vague dull pain, just like the feeling he had when he had to rely on external devices to maintain his heartbeat many years ago.

He looked at Veronica, he wanted to ask, why do you think that, no one has ever asked.Then he suddenly understood, from the clues of the madness in the past, he realized this matter.They're the same people, they're looking at the same things, they're feeling the same.

He had an urge to grab Veronica's hand, he couldn't let her go, he hadn't had that urge in years, that feeling that he was sure he wanted to spend his life with someone.

…It is very rare to find the right person, regardless of position, good or evil, this is something in the soul.

He held Veronica's hand and blurted out without thinking: "I love you."

And Veronica's reaction was definitely not whatever he thought.She was neither excited nor calm, and looked at him with wide eyes, her lips and hands were trembling, as if she was about to have a panic attack.Then she stood up, pushed the chair back violently, withdrew her hand without saying a word and ran into the bathroom behind.

Tony sat on the seat, wiped his face in embarrassment, and thought angrily, what did he do.

Veronica hid in the toilet cubicle, and it took a while to steady herself a bit.

As always, when she was overwhelmed, she chose to turn to others for help.With trembling hands, she turned out the phone and found the communication. She almost dialed the wrong number several times, and finally she called Thalia.

【Hello? ] Thalia was very quiet on the other end, and her voice was deliberately lowered.

"He told me he loves me, what does that mean?" Veronica blurts out, before realizing her words are rambling. "I mean, Stark just said that to me."

【What? ] Thalia was stunned for a moment, and then quietly replied 【Oh. 】

"Oh, what do you mean?" Veronica asked, "Why did he say that?"

[As far as I personally think, this shows that your plan is very successful. 】Thalia said that although she should now blame Veronica for revealing her secret with her big mouth, which caused the child's father to travel thousands of miles to ask for an explanation, she also thanked Veronica for letting her see it. Bruce still cares about her and Damian, and she should be grateful for that, so she answered her with all her heart [Isn’t that what you thought, seduce Stark, it’s best to have a perfect offspring , and then severely hurt his heart, so that he can never forget you again.The most critical step in your plan has been accomplished. 】

"..." But Veronica was silent, she wanted to say, I am not, I regret it.But the last thing I said was "So what should I do now?"

[Dump him. 】

"But I don't want to..."

[Then marry him. 】Thalia looked at Batman and her son who were staring at Batman not far away to ask for an explanation, and thought sadly that Veronica should not be allowed to make the same mistakes, so she persuaded.

Veronica on the other end of the phone didn't make any comments on this, but was silent for a while, and then asked, "Then what should I do now? How did you deal with this back then?"

This sentence pressed on Thalia's sore spot. She narrowed her eyes, raised her teeth, and showed a bloody sneer that Veronica couldn't see, saying [I can't tell you, because I haven't encountered such a situation before. Condition. ] Then she hung up the phone with a snap, and turned to walk towards the father and son not far away, just in time to hear Damian say to Bruce, 'You are shorter than I thought'.

And Veronica squatted on the toilet seat with her mobile phone in her arms and thought for a while before finally making up her mind to get out of the toilet.

Tony was hovering at the door of the toilet, and when he saw Veronica open the door and come out, he took a step back awkwardly to make some distance.The latter also stopped, and he was slightly relieved that he didn't try to escape.

So he said, "Listen, I was too abrupt just now. If you don't want to, you don't have to answer anything. Just pretend that that 1 minute just never happened..." Before he finished speaking, Veronica rushed up Hugging, this made him froze even when he was talking.

"I just asked my friend, and she said I should marry you." Veronica's face was buried in his chest, causing her voice to muffle.

But Tony still heard it clearly. At that moment, he felt his whole heart lifted, so he asked cautiously: "Then what do you think?"

"I think she's right." Veronica replied, "Then I can take away all your property and take your children away, so that you will never forget me for the rest of your life."

"..." After listening to these words, Tony felt complicated, as if he had just jumped to an extreme.
