[Comprehensive] First Lady

Chapter 30 The captain and her; probably to declare sovereignty

"That's the earring Natasha and I picked out with her." Wanda was proud.She noticed that Steve took a second look at the earring. "A gift from Natasha to Holly."

Hearing this, Steve frowned in surprise. "Natasha gave Holly a gift? Do they know each other that well?"

Wanda opened her eyes slightly. "You don't know? They..."

The second half of Wanda's sentence was overwhelmed by applause.Holly just finished introducing her own work "Truth and False", and smiled for the media to take pictures.

"You what?" Steve asked.

"Wait a second." Peter said suddenly, "Is that Bruce Wayne from Gotham?"

Steve's attention is diverted.He turned his head, only to see the commotion in the media, and the flashing lights were all facing the door.A handsome man in a suit came from the door, holding a large bouquet of roses in his hand.

Steve frowned.Peter, Wanda and Pietro also frowned.

"Holly knows this guy?" Pietro wondered.

"I don't know." Steve replied, watching Bruce Wayne and Moses split the Red Sea, parting all the media blocking the way, walking to the podium, offering roses, bending down and holding the back of Holly's hand and kissing, frowning Wrinkled and tighter.

"I'm an old acquaintance of Holly Rogers. Ex-student, to be exact." Bruce Wayne declared, amidst the spotlights, press questions, and crowd commotion throughout the film, "she has the best talent."

The three little avengers looked at Lang Cai on the podium... no, the female talent was male, and then looked at Steve.

"Holly didn't mention that," Steve murmured.

On the podium, Holly's smile implied embarrassment that acquaintances could understand.

"I don't remember when I taught you how to draw, President Wayne." Holly said with a smile, and hugged Bruce Wayne politely.

The reporters took pictures more happily.

The three little Avengers looked at Holly and Wayne on the podium again, and then at Steve.

Steve noticed that Holly's smile gradually became forced, and finally couldn't help it. He walked up to the stage and separated Holly and Bruce Wayne without a trace.

The three Little Avengers looked at each other.

"What is he going to do?" Wanda asked.

"Uh, probably..." Peter stared at Steve's movements, "Declaring sovereignty?"

Steve's next behavior directly confirmed Peter's guess.He put his arms around Holly's waist, helped Holly accept the bouquet of roses, thanked Bruce Wayne with a smile, and thanked him for his cooperation.The media began to ask who the blond man who appeared suddenly was, after all, Holly didn't have a wedding ring on her hand.

Like a hero, it was Little Pepper who came to the stage to save the scene. Little Pepper showed the CEO's momentum, and all the gossip media under the file.

"So, I hate this kind of high-profile playboy like Tony." Pepper complained to Holly in a low voice, before picking up the microphone, "Okay. Today I am only open to ask questions related to this exhibition. Who wants First?"

Holly hurriedly dragged Steve off the stage.Inexplicably, Bruce Wayne followed them.Holly leads Steve into the backcourt, closes the door, and turns away with a sigh of relief.

"President Wayne?" Holly looked at Bruce Wayne in confusion.

"You can call me Bruce." Wayne raised his eyebrows, looking at Holly without even looking at Steve.

Steve instinctively has a sense of crisis towards Wayne, especially the top secret file of S.H.I.E.L.D. that says Bruce Wayne is Gotham Batman, that legend.

Holly looked at Bruce Wayne uncertainly.She curled the corners of her mouth and showed a professional sales smile. "Hello, Bruce. Thank you very much for your attendance today. Your support is a great blessing to this gallery. As the gallery manager and the organizer agent of this exhibition, I would like to express my 20 thanks to you."

"It's a bit formulaic, Ms. Shu." Wayne smiled and reached out to Holly.

Holly kept smiling and shook Wayne's hand hesitantly.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just attending on behalf of a friend. Miss Shu, do you still remember your first student? Barry Allen?"

Holly stared at Wayne, stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized.

"It's him! That smart kid!" Holly smiled, her expression relaxed. "I remember him, Barry, a bit hyperactive and mischievous, but kind and gentle at heart. How is Barry?"

"He's fine. He's working for my...company now," Wayne replied.

Holly frowned puzzled. "Organization? Barry joined your organization?"

"It's the company." Steve helped explain.

Holly looked at Steve, then at Wayne, and smiled understandingly. "Sorry, I got it wrong. I thought it was an organization like S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Avengers. Back then, Barry kept saying he wanted to be a superhero."

Steve and Wayne paused for two seconds at the same time, laughing at the same time, and looked at each other with subtle eyes in the laughter, with a hint of surprise, guilt, and thrilling looking at each other.

Holly seemed oblivious to all the subtle atmosphere. "Sorry, I didn't understand the situation just now. It turns out that you are Barry's friend. Thank you for attending instead of him today. I will contact him again to thank you." She pursed her lips and smiled, a little embarrassed.

"He changed his phone." Wayne said, taking out a card. "He made it for you. It contains his contact information and a video he recorded for you. This is an electronic card."

Holly happily accepted the card. "Oh, that's great. He's still great."

Wayne smiled and gave Steve a meaningful look.

Steve was thinking about the meaning of Wayne's look, and the topic came to him.

"So this must be Mister Rogers?" Wayne asked.

Holly looked at Steve, smiling with love, reverence, and tenderness. "Yes, he is," she said, taking Steve's arm and resting her head on his shoulder. "He's my husband."

"Newly married?" Wayne raised an eyebrow, half teasing.

"Yes." Holly nodded.

"Congratulations, bless you guys. You look sweet," Wayne said, looking at Steve for a few more seconds.

Steve kept a cautious silence.

"Before you go back, Bruce, you can browse around our gallery, maybe you can find your favorite artwork."

Holly led the topic back to today's theme and briefly introduced several other artists.Contrary to Steve's expectations, Wayne is not like a foolish playboy as rumored. He has a lot of insight into the artworks on various themes in the gallery.

"I decided to order your painting first. I like your "Truth and False". I have read the introduction of your work and it is very well written. I agree with your words. Truth and falsehood are completely opposite things, but, Truth is not only the criterion of truth itself, but also of falsehood.”

While saying this, Wayne took out the check book from the hidden pocket on the chest of the suit jacket, opened the front page, signed his name, and tore it to Holly without filling in the amount. "That piece of work is priceless. Just write a number you like on it."

Holly tried her best to maintain a normal facial expression, and took the check dumbfounded.

"Oh. That's it. That's really... Thank you for your compliment."

Wayne raised his eyebrows, glanced at Steve again, with that meaningful look again, signed a check and tore it to Holly.

"You don't need to pay twice for a painting." Holly frowned and smiled awkwardly.

"It's for another painting." Wayne smiled and wrote a few numbers on the check, "Barry wants to buy your work "Silver Chair" in his own name. He likes your painting on both sides of the throne." Four children."

"Oh. Thank you." Holly could only accept the check, and in less than half an hour, Holly received hundreds of thousands of dollars.It was Steve's salary for several months.

Before leaving, Wayne left a special sentence. "I'm sure there will be many opportunities to meet you on various occasions in the future, Mr. Rogers and Ms. Shu. Also, I suggest you open that card with your... new husband."

Wayne leaves.Leaving Holly and Steve staring at each other in the lounge.

"Why did he call me Miss Shu?" Holly frowned.Inexplicably feeling creepy.

Steve looked down at the card in Holly's hand. "Why are the cards opened together?"

Holly looked up, staring at Steve.Steve raised an eyebrow, staring at the card.

"Then we...open it?" Holly asked tentatively.Hand in the card obediently.

Steve picked up the card and opened it.From the appearance of the ordinary white envelope, it is difficult to see that there are delicate and transparent cards inside.

"Glass?" Holly looked at the card in confusion.That piece—or that one? On the A6-sized piece of glass, there are no words or patterns on it.Not even a stroke.

Steve turned the glass around and looked at it for a while.Based on his experience with S.H.I.E.L.D. and Stark's high-tech, as well as his knowledge of the trends in the superhero world, he returned the card to Holly.

"Put your palm up," he said. "Wayne said it was an e-card."

Holly was dubious, and put her palm on the glass.

"Nothing happened," Holly said back to Steve.

Then the cards start to glow.Holly let go of the glass in shock, and was astonished to see the glass suspended in the air and rotated in a prismatic manner, casting a three-dimensional image.

"Barry?!" Holly stared at the figure in the sky.

"Hey, Holly! 』The half-length image of the boy floated in front of the glass flake-shaped card, waving happily at Holly.

"What is this, this thing can still talk?!" Holly was a little startled, and looked around at Barry's image, "It's amazing."

Steve examines Barry warily.This was the first time he'd seen the kid, the rumored Flash.Unexpectedly, Holly taught Barry how to draw.The world is so small.

"Actually, no. ’ Barry replied, tilting his head cutely, ‘This is just my speculation about your possible response, a pre-set, combined probability based on what I know about you. 』

Holly nodded and raised her hand to stop Barry from continuing. "Understood. No need to continue explaining. Every time I hear you talk about codes or calculations, I feel dizzy."

Barry smirks at Holly.

Steve couldn't help but think, if this is the standby state Barry programmed this into, well, kind of stupid...
