[Comprehensive] First Lady

Holly tries to touch Barry's image.Her hand passed between the particles of light.Holly pursed her lips in disappointment.

"You want to touch my face?This is a little weird. 』

"I just wanted to try it out." Holly was speechless and changed the subject. "Barry, we haven't spoken in at least six years. How are you doing?"

"Uh... everything is fine.I still don’t have a girlfriend, I joined a certain organization, and I have some amazing partners...』

"Is it an organization or a company? You have different opinions."

"company.company.It's time for me to look for a job. 』

Steve was watching Holly and Barry's video chatting on the sidelines. After observing for a long time, he couldn't see anything wrong.So why did Wayne suggest that the couple open the cards together?Just because Holly might not understand how the cards work?

"So... the red tights on you are your company uniform?"

"Uh, yes.Anyway, I want to tell you...」

Barry puffed out his chest and took a deep breath.This familiar appearance gave Steve a bad feeling.

"Holly, you are my best, best friend, the best teacher in the world, and you deserve the best man in the universe.You were my first love, and I still love you—』

Holly almost pounced on it, trying to cover the stereoscopic image.She pressed the card with both hands, paused the video by mistake, and turned quickly to look at Steve.

Steve leaned against the square table with his arms crossed and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Judge, I didn't kill someone." Holly held up her hands.Use your body to block floating cards.

"You just stole some boy's heart?"

"...Wait, this sentence sounds familiar. Darling, are you sure you haven't overheard my conversation with Wanda?"

"You guys talk at the dinner table, usually so loudly that everyone can hear," Steve replied, sighing, and opening his arms to Holly.

"Come here. Let me hug you."

Holly ran to Steve's chest and kissed it passionately.

Steve silently removed the glass card that Holly was trying to hide secretly.

Holly let go of Steve immediately. "That's my card! I haven't read it yet!"

"You still want to finish watching?"

Holly flinched, but didn't give up. "My card. Give it back."

Steve stared at Holly, staring at her insistent face.

Suddenly Steve really wasn't happy.

Steve reluctantly returns the card to Holly.Holly smiled and carefully put the card back in the envelope.

Go back and break that piece of glass.an accident.Steve thought.

Holly wrapped her arms around Steve's waist and tiptoed to kiss him.

"You won't accidentally break the card for me, sweetheart," Holly asked.

"...No." Damn it.

It's not just these things that make Steve dissatisfied with his relationship with Holly.

In addition, for example, Holly, as a gallery manager and artist, has a more full schedule than a superhero. One day she goes to Paris to attend an art exhibition, and the next day she goes to Tokyo to attend a dinner party, so they often don’t see each other for a whole week. On the other hand, if you want to have a video chat, you have to consider the time difference and location of the two.

Plus, Steve was never sure when it was right for them to have kids.According to research reports, it is best for women to give birth before the age of 30.Leaving aside his age, Holly will be 27 in two months!

In contrast, Holly's unexpected ability to recruit people is no longer among Steve's primary concerns.Holly loved him, there was no doubt about that.What made Steve feel that there was a barrier between the two of them was the secrets he kept from Holly, the secrets he couldn't tell.

Three months later, one weekend, Steve got the phone that Tony had made for Holly.

In fact, Tony didn't intend to let Stark Enterprise have more mobile phone manufacturing departments. After all, Pepper has enough and heavy work, but because of Steve.

"Strictly speaking, it's because of Holly," Sam corrected, after he'd heard the whole story.

"Pepper doesn't blame Holly. She doesn't blame Steve," James laughed.

"Yeah," Tony said, rolling his eyes. "She'll just ask me why I keep putting more work on her. Well, I'm going to have to get her an assistant. I think Holly's pretty good at planning..."

"Don't even think about it." Steve dismissed it immediately, squinting at Tony, "You think Holly doesn't work enough?"

They are on their return journey.Clint is in charge of driving the Quinjet.

"Since the New York War with Loki, they haven't seen each other for two weeks, and they haven't had a phone call, Stark. If this continues, the captain may have a marital crisis." Clint interjected, turning back to tease Steve.

"What?" Tony's eyes widened and he spread his hands, "I haven't even said I'm going to give Holly more work. Why are you nervous?"

Steve sat on the bench, rested his forehead, and let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, James brought up another matter. "Speaking of which, it's time for us to switch positions. Steve, I think now is the time. It's been pretty quiet lately."

Steve thought for a while, then nodded slightly, "Yes."

Tony looked at the two, raised his eyebrows, turned around and took out whiskey from the small refrigerator. "Then this week I will send up the original report and the contract, and you can change your uniform now.

"You want to celebrate now?" Natasha glared at the group of big boys.

James and Tony exchanged glances.Tony rolled his eyes, then took out vodka from the refrigerator and handed it to James.James took vodka to coax Natasha, who was depressed and about to get angry.

Tony returned between Sam and Steve with a wine glass, but did not prepare wine for Clint, and the driver did not have the right to drink.

Steve fondled the shield nostalgicly, lost in thought.Tony and Sam looked at Steve, then at each other.

"Steve," Sam said, "are you sure...that's a good idea?"

"what?"

"I mean, just like last month's battle in New York, now, the Avengers could be on TV at any time. Aren't you going to hide your identity from Holly? Let her continue to misunderstand that Bucky is Captain America?"

"That's my plan." Steve raised his eyebrows and looked at Tony. "So, the helmet needs to be strengthened."

Tony patted his forehead and looked up at the sky. "Okay, as long as you don't think there's anything wrong with it," he said, clearly disagreeing with Steve. "That's the main reason you're having a marital crisis, boss."

"You want me to tell Holly who I am? Like you just say you're Iron Man?"

"Why not?"

"Interestingly, I haven't seen you confess to Pepper about anything else, Tony."

Steve and Tony began to communicate in depth, playing a game of exposing scars that only buddies can play.Sam smiled helplessly and shook his head, walking to the driver's seat.

Clint glanced at his teammates in the cabin behind him through the mirror.

“Holly, like Laura, doesn’t ask too many questions,” Clint said, staring at Steve in the mirror. “Laura is understanding and caring about my job, and when I’m not around, she’s independent, take care of family."

"You really think Holly has no doubts? Especially after we've been through the Great War in New York and even Foster saw Saul on TV?"

Sam frowned slightly.

"They have the same qualities, Sam." Clint raised his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. "A woman who can maintain a marriage with a superhero must have a quality."

"It's... obediently being a woman behind a man?"

"No. Gentle wisdom."

Sam probably doesn't get the gist of what Clint says, at least not yet, because he's single.

Clint knew that there were some things he saw better than anyone else.Just because he is a bystander.

Steve didn't want to tell Holly about the transition.

Even though last month, Holly was sent to Shanghai by Tony for a half-month special exhibition by accident. She was busy handling many things all day, and completely avoided the alien war in New York.

Of course, Steve also knows that it is impossible for him to have the same good luck every time he encounters a big task, just enough to keep Holly away from the battlefield and all dangers, so that Holly can stay busy and have no time to distract herself. How much happened to the Avengers.

Plus, it's not a good idea, not a good idea at all.Husband and wife should have nothing to hide, they should be close lovers.

That's when Steve realized that Tony was right.

His lies are what made him unsatisfied in this relationship and made their marriage imply a crisis.

Unbeknownst to Steve, however, Holly is also hiding something from him where he can't see it.

First of all, when Steve was busy saving people and didn't notice that the Avengers were on TV collectively, Holly just went to the hospital for two injections in only half an hour because of acute gastroenteritis and a cold.During those two weeks, Holly was busy with work, not to mention the time to eat, and she didn't even have much chance to go to the toilet.

She saw the news on the way out of the hospital.New York is attacked, and the Avengers fight aliens.

Holly instinctively wanted to call Steve.Then it occurred to her that Steve was fighting, he wouldn't answer the phone, and if he did, it would be dangerous.She can't distract Steve.

During those few days, Holly suppressed her anxiety and did not contact Steve.After she confirmed from the news that New York was out of the battle storm and the Avengers were back behind the scenes, she didn't contact Steve either.

Holly contacts Wanda.Through Wanda, she was sure that Steve was fine.

"Why don't you just call Steve?He will be happy to take your call. ’ asked Wanda.when they talk via video chat.

Holly is leaving the show and going back to the hotel to pack her luggage.The driver is a bodyguard hired by Tony.

"Yes, he will be happy to receive my call, but he will also be annoyed." Holly replied, putting the phone on the stand and removing the hairpin from her head. "I can't guarantee that I can hide it from him. I've been in the hospital a few times these days. I won't let him see me until I recover."
