[Comprehensive English and American] The years I opened a grocery store in Queens

Isabella did have a solution. Although she didn't know the principle of palladium poisoning and couldn't make a suitable potion, it didn't mean she was helpless.

Tony Stark is narcissistic, arrogant, and a dandy, and he is really a complete nuisance.

But Isabella didn't gloat in the slightest when she heard that the nasty creature was poisoned.

She handed a test tube to Natasha: "Someone told me that the stuff inside can remove all toxins."

So Ivy let her carry it with her.

"Is this the potion you made?" Natasha had a joyful expression on her face. If this thing really works, the problem in front of her will be easily solved.

"No," answered Isabella, "from the kindness of a friend."

If Ivy knew that she had used this reagent on the person she hated the most, she would definitely scold her with a drawn-out tone.

Natasha did not ask Isabella who the "friend" was. The situation was urgent. She said to Isabella: "I will take it to test the ingredients in it. If it is useful for palladium poisoning, that would be the best. "

She left in a hurry, leaving Isabella alone in the house.

Isabella took a hot bath and lay on the bed. She had experienced too many things during this time, her body was exhausted to the extreme, her legs were sore like ants were crawling, she should have slept in the dark, and closed her eyes But I couldn't fall asleep, the spreading emotion was like a mosquito buzzing in my ears, making me feel depressed.

I was poisoned by palladium, but it did no harm to my body.

She remembered that the bastard had said so, that he had lied about it again.

Isabella turned over, she gave him the antidote reagent, it was too easy, let him beg him no matter what, although this annoying person looks arrogant, he probably never begged Great, but that's why I want to see what he looks like when he asks others.

It is estimated that asking for help is also a matter of reluctance, and the mouth is not willing to give in at all, and it is estimated that it will say: "It is your honor to help Tony Stark."

Ah!Then she will definitely use the "front teeth plug stick" on him.

However, she had already said that she would not meet again in the future. To be honest, she regretted a little at this time.

Isabella didn't sleep well that night. At dawn, there was some movement around her. When she opened her eyes in a daze, Natasha was lying beside her.

"Did it bother you?" Natasha tucked up the quilt for her. It's very windy in New York these days.

"No." Isabella turned to face Natasha.

"The medical scientists from S.H.I.E.L.D. have already tested that tube of reagent. It is indeed effective for palladium poisoning, but Tony Stark's poisoning is too deep and the dose is not enough. It can provide temporary relief."

Isabella asked: "Why did Tony Stark get palladium poisoning?"

"Since the kidnapping in Afghanistan, his life support needs to rely on a small Ark reactor, and running the Iron Armor will overload it, accelerating the flow of palladium to the heart."

Natasha's eyes were shining and moist in the darkness, she looked very tired: "But his father left a bunch of things, there should be a new technology that can improve the small ark reactor."

After Natasha and Isabella said good night, they closed their eyes, her breathing was light and shallow, and the night became quiet again.

Isabella returned to Queens and took a look at the surrounding environment. Because it was turned into ruins, most of the residents had moved out. While there was no one around, she waved her magic wand and threw a few "recovery" And "Cleaned Up," The Witch's Grocery announces a post-war rebirth.

The official can't come up with a reasonable explanation for the Hulk and Hulk fights, now rumors are flying, a small grocery store's rebirth is not eye-catching, in order to cover up the rumors, it has been reported on TV these days The news from the Hammer Industry Expo, apparently this is also the official meaning.

Isabella thought that the process of casting the spell was very covert, but she was discovered unexpectedly.Peter Parker and his Aunt May were not among the many residents who moved out of Queens. Their house was lucky to escape the attack. Peter Parker returned from school as usual and walked the original way home. Destroyed building materials, this situation made him thankful for God's blessing again in his heart.

In Little Peter's memory, sister Isabella hasn't opened a store for a long time, and she hasn't been seen since Mr. Stark came to the witch's grocery store last time.

Aunt May told him: "Isabella should be dating Mr. Stark."

Little Peter doesn't have a deep understanding of relationships, but from Aunt May's tone, it seems that sister Isabella will never appear in Queens again.

Thinking of sister Isabella, little Peter thought of the nice smell and sweet candy smell in her shop.

But the reunion was only for a moment. Little Peter turned the corner and saw the familiar figure of Isabella. He wanted to jump up to say hello cheerfully, but saw Isabella's sister looked solemn, as if she was doing something very serious. things.

Sister Isabella took out a smooth stick and drew a circle in the air, and then something unexpected happened to little Peter, and the pile of ruins returned to its original state.

Little Peter opened his mouth wide, and hid in the corner of the street to watch all this quietly. Sister Isabella picked up the suitcase at her feet and walked into the store. It took him a long time to come out from the corner of the street, looking at the signboard of the witch's general store, Standing there blankly.

Is there really such a miraculous thing in the world?

These accidents made Isabella understand that there are too many accidents in this world, and even though she is a witch who knows magic, it is difficult for her to resist all disasters.

She was flipping through a thick encyclopedia of spells, which recorded some ancient spells, which were extremely powerful but difficult to learn. She used to treat them as a popular science book, but now she truly felt the need to learn them.

In the Encyclopedia of Spells, there is a spell that she is very interested in, called the silence of all things. This spell will temporarily stop time, and everything around it will fall into a state of stillness except the caster.

In the detailed explanation of the spell, it is written: Time goes to eternity at the moment it stops.

Isabella read the book several times, and a faint red light appeared from the tip of the wand, which was not enough to master the spell.

This kind of spell requires too much thought power. The passage of time is a natural process. To stop the passage of time at that moment, the caster of the spell must regard the stillness of time as the deepest desire in his heart.

Obviously, the present Isabella has no resistance to the passage of time.

She secretly wrote down the spell, flipped the page, and the next spell was a kind of induction magic. After the two made the oath, when one of them was in danger, the other could sense it in time. The two who made the oath would do their best to protect each other. safety.

"In this great symphony I shall

Be one with your breath and pulse

beat with your eager heart

The time of silence and gloom is over

we will become immortal

The immortality of heaven and earth makes us immortal"

Isabella chanted a spell on the pages of the book, and the most important thing in chanting a spell was concentration, so she didn't notice the figure walking in the store at all.

After six spells were finished, the wand in her hand became very warm.

"Are you reading poetry?"

A familiar, annoying voice appeared at the door of the store.

Isabella didn't even look up.

He had already walked in with strides, and just after taking two steps, it was as if a wall was blocking his face, and he could no longer move his body.

Isabella just cast a silent spell called "Background".

"Hi—" he called out, jumping up and beckoning to Isabella, "I know you can see me."

"Let me in, I have something to tell you."

Isabella ignored his cries.

He stood there for a long time. Although Isabella was still flipping through the spell book, she didn't read any of the words in the book.

The hands of the clock pointed to ten o'clock, and the doll owl exactly like Jill jumped out to tell the time, and the person standing at the door yawned long.

"It's a little late now," he said.

Isabella ignored him, all his words fell through, and he finally walked out with steps.

After he went out, Isabella raised her head and stretched her stiff neck. She had kept her head down just now, and her neck was sore and sore.

She looked at the open door, and the night outside was intoxicating.Tony Stark had just walked out from here, and Isabella didn't know if he still had that cynical look on his face, but it was beyond her expectation that he was able to stand patiently at the door for so long.

Isabella has always had a doubt in her heart: Why would such a person become a hero?

She once predicted his fate, and the unpredictable changes in the crystal ball finally showed a bright starry sky, which remained unchanged for a long time. Such a scene usually belongs to heroes.

There are many adjectives to describe the so-called hero, such as bravery, self-sacrifice, selfless devotion... but cynicism is not included.

The so-called heroes come in all shapes and sizes. They are senior Harry who inherits the bravery of Gryffindor, Principal Snape who bears the incomprehensible gaze of outsiders, and Professor X who understands righteousness and promotes peace...it will not be his turn no matter what. Tony Stark.

But why did that magnificent sea of ​​stars choose him?

And the scene before Xinghai was full of blood and blood, which shouldn't belong to him.

Magic can’t go wrong, and irrelevant things and irrelevant people must have a different meaning. Isabella respects magic and heroes—although she never wants to be a hero herself, and even hopes that the people she cares about don’t. It is a hero, this is the secret she has always kept in her heart. She can't count how much responsibility a hero has to bear on his shoulders, how many dangers and losses he has to face.Perhaps because of this, she did not become an Auror against black magic, did not join the legal department to speak out for fairness and justice, and returned to the Muggle world and did not use magic to benefit the world. She joined the Avengers Project but clearly stated that not doing it would be life-threatening work——that's why she admires people who become heroes even more. They must have given up their own happiness more or less.

Since the crystal ball predicts that Tony Stark will become a hero, she treats him the way she treats a hero. She has felt and knows that this man has a hot heart, but after all, she cannot forgive him for his transgressive behavior.

Unexpectedly, Tony Stark came back again, and he brought two cheeseburgers. When he entered the door, Isabella propped her head on her hands and looked at the door for deep thought. When she saw him coming back, her expression returned to her previous coldness. look away.

He waved the cheeseburger in his hand: "Do you want to eat?"

Isabella still didn't answer.

That whole night, Tony Stark was accompanied by nothing but the increasingly silent night and the occasional dog barking outside the door.

The author has something to say:

Remember these two magics, they will be of great use later, quietly spoiler, and may even affect the ending.

That incantation was adapted from a poem by Oscar Wilde.
