curse
The deep resentment from the dead is gathered in that deep nightmare. Anyone who comes into contact with the curse will have a new curse born from it.
With the arrival of Toshio Saeki, the curse also appeared in this new world.
Jennifer.
Chosen to be the "mother" that night, Kayako entered her body.
On the other hand.
Patton entered the gloomy old mansion and experienced the death scene over and over again. In it, he played the role of a once damned and stupid man.
now……
"Barton, you, are you okay?!"
"I, I mean...you have grown hair..."
Kate was very happy about Barton's awakening. No matter how bad things happened, the greatest luck is that a person can wake up and be alive.
However.
With the appearance of Toshio Saeki, Barton said the word son in disbelief.
The long black hair spreads out from behind Barton.
A symbol of the curse, the power of Kayako spread in Barton's body, and the once legendary Eagle Eye agent was marked.
Now he is part of the curse, part of the Kayako family.
"I, I don't know."
Barton looked at his hands. He supported his body and tried to do it, and this behavior made him feel a little dizzy.
Barton shook his head violently, recalling what he had experienced before.
"The Japanese garden, and then I had a wife, a son, and a cat."
"It's very real and very scary."
Barton tried hard to recall the nightmare that had happened before.
"I die over and over again."
"As long as some key points are triggered, like an argument, like me discovering something I shouldn't have discovered."
"A diary, a closet, or a cat, and I'd be killed."
Barton showed a pained expression.
Even a well-trained legendary agent faces extremely real and terrifying ways of death.
After experiencing it too many times, I now feel extremely mentally exhausted.
"Who?! Who killed you?!"
Kate subconsciously looked at Toshio Saeki.
Although the little guy is very cute when he is a cat, he is also very small when he is in a human state.
But this is a kid who can take off his head and throw a ball. Never underestimate him.
"Both."
"Gayako, Toshio, even...myself."
A lingering nightmare. In order to escape from the cycle of death, Barton worked hard to be a good father.
This seems to symbolize the hope that Toshio Saeki has always had.
The kid wants a father and mother of his own, a brand new Saeki family, Kayako's big family.
"..."
Toshio Saeki's eyes, which had no whites at all and were like deep pools, stared straight at Barton.
The pale kid's cold little hands protected Barton's thigh.
"hiss!"
Barton took a deep breath subconsciously.
However, the cold and terrifying touch did not appear after the expected attack, or even after being caught by Toshio Saeki.
on the contrary.
"Uh... son?!"
That sense of reality hit Barton. Everything he repeated in his previous nightmare seemed to really happen in reality.
The power of the curse and the power of Kayako are changing Barton, just like Jennifer!
Is Takeo Saeki the father of Toshio Toshio, or Barton is a member of the Kayako family.
Which one is true and which one is false? !
Like is Jennifer herself, or is the resentful "mother" emerging from her the real thing? !
Or are these all real and there is no distinction between them? !
I can’t tell the difference, I really can’t tell the difference!
"Well, at least I don't have good news. Junxiong likes you quite a lot, and you... finally don't have to sleep in all the time."
Kate can only think about the good things. As long as she accepts more good news, maybe the bad things can be ignored.
"Where are we now?!"
Barton touched Toshio Saeki's head, and everything seemed so natural.
It's like the father figure he tried so hard to be in his nightmare has now become real.
"My last memory is of being in Los Angeles and it was like we were debugging a Super Hyde bomb."
"By the way, what about the asshole who wants to turn Los Angeles into Beast City?!"
Barton remembered and got down to business.
At that time, he received a private mission from Nick Fury to explore the situation in Los Angeles.
Trying to find a safer base camp for SHIELD after the New York incident.
Then.
Patton meets the Supergirls.
Barton's expression became distorted when he thought of this, a bunch of fledgling girls actually trying to save the world.
Los Angeles is clearly in bad shape.
"Oh, I can't say it's bad, after all, Los Angeles is gone now."
Kate doesn't want to worry about Mr. Hyde's whereabouts. He may be dead, or he may have become a sacrifice to the devil.
No matter what, it's not important. What's important is the changes in the world now.
"New York, Texas, and California have all said goodbye to the past."
Kate said helplessly.
"It's a long story. In short, the famous Hawkeye agent slept in the new world."
"Now...it's an extraordinary age of superheroes and supervillains, and the news is really busy right now."
The amount of information is huge.
Barton never expected that after having a dream, he would gain a very white son.
However.
There are three states that have completely disappeared in the event of the coming of the Devil King.
"So...you're telling me we're in Silkaria now and this place now belongs to Tony Stark?!"
Barton's expression became even weirder.
Why does it feel like the whole world has changed since he took the mission to rescue Playboy in New York?
The last time he saw Tony in Times Square, the guy was hanging from the top of the Daily Bugle.
And now.
Gathering the resources of Sirkaria, the steel factory created a torrent of steel here.
What kind of ultimate iron man has the former playboy become? !
this……
Barton really didn't know what to say for a moment.
And just when Kate simply explained what was happening to Barton.
In the two-story suite, Jennifer's voice came from the room outside.
"Kate, Kate are you there?!"
"Where is this, me, what's wrong with me, I'm a little dizzy..."
The smile on Kate's face grew a little more, Jennifer also woke up, and the good news increased a little more.
"Hey, I'm here...Jennifer!"
Kate ran to open the door, and then hugged her bestie happily. Everything seemed to be back to normal.
Apart from……
"You...my husband?!"
"You... my wife?!"
This moment.
Jennifer and Barton made eye contact and almost blurted out incredible words.
"oh!"
"I didn't expect this situation, but... I still accept it?!"
Kate let go of Jennifer, stood between the two and took two steps back, looking at them from left to right with a strange expression.
But Barton and Jennifer also had strange expressions.
"Meow……"
The only one who felt normal was a certain expressionless kid, judging from his screams.
Toshio Saeki seemed satisfied.
…
Jennifer, a cold-faced female lawyer who once fought against brutal criminals and was well-known in the legal profession, now has a funny expression.
And the same.
Patton's expression wasn't much better.
The legendary Eagle Eye agent has done countless missions and fought too many fierce battles with terrorists and criminal bases!
But this was the first time that I had been completely trapped in this inexplicable experience.
"Wait, wait, why do we want to bring the things in dreams into reality?!"
"I'm not even ready for marriage."
Jennifer said a little collapsed
"This is what I want to say. It is obvious that we have a common experience before, because the power of the curse makes us..."
Barton hugged Toshio Saeki and tried to rationally analyze their current problems.
"Hey."
"I remember telling you not to go to bed with your shoes on, it will be difficult to clean."
Jennifer said subconsciously.
There was a hint of unhappiness on her face, mixed with an expression of helplessness towards her unruly husband.
"Okay, sorry, I didn't forget, but... Kate moved me to bed, I didn't know."
Barton touched his chin, and while thinking, he basically responded subconsciously.
And he held Toshio Saeki with one hand and supported himself with the other hand and jumped out of the bed.
"Now let's continue, my dear, about the dream..."
Barton stopped thinking, and Jennifer's instinctive movement of tugging at the corner of the bed to make the bed also stopped.
Under Kate's gaze, the two of them were now very embarrassed.
"Oh, God."
"My best friend and my...teacher, old friend, and overall awesome Hawkeye agent have become a couple."
"You guys have such a tacit understanding, it's like you've been living together for many years."
Kate slapped herself in the face.
This is not a question of dreaming. The facts are right in front of us, surrounding Toshio Saeki's parents.
Jennifer and Barton did a perfect job.
"Am I not great?! Are you questioning a great mother?!"
"Kate!!"
It was obvious that Jennifer was very angry, but Kate quickly surrendered.
"That's not what I meant. I think the most important thing now is to wish you well. This ending is much better than the bad situation I originally expected."
Yes.
Just before, Kate was still suffering from the pain of losing two of her best friends at the same time.
Now? !
Oh boy, it’s more of a kiss.
"It's the power of habit and the power of time. In short, it all seems like it's really happening."
"curse!"
"We are completely bound by the curse of fate. Now the role we played in the nightmare has become a reality."
Barton raised his head and sighed.
This is the performance of Kayako's distortion of the world, and it is also part of Toshio Saeki's expectations.
"I told you, don't sigh in front of your children, this will..."
Jennifer complained out of habit, and then she reacted immediately and looked at Kate with pleading eyes.
"I do not like this."
"But in Kayako's house, if there is a problem with my performance... the man in front of me will hack me to death."
"I died so many times!"
Jennifer said with a hateful tone, while Barton's eyelids twitched.
"Please."
"You also killed me more than once, and even twisted me into the sewer."
"Looking back at that feeling now, vomit...I'm going to vomit!"
"Meow!"
Toshio Saeki transformed into a black cat again and ended the conversation with its shrill cry.
Kate clapped her hands, pulled Jennifer and walked out of the room.
"I believe Junxiong meant that you used the wrong word just now. It's not Kayako's home."
"But your home."
"The child still has his parents, a seemingly perfect family."
Click.
Kate said as the door to the room closed softly.
“Let Patton and Toshio Saeki be alone, he will handle the relationship between father and son.
"And you, my sweet Jennifer."
"I think you need marriage counseling, and I'm the perfect person to talk to."
…
in the room.
Barton sat on the bed, one of the rare times when he was as empty-headed as he was now.
"Oh, that's bad."
Barton stroked the black cat's smooth fur, and he was extremely skilled in both posture and technique.
It's like touching the black cat that used to be in the old Japanese house.
"Meow."
Toshio Saeki also makes comfortable cat sounds, and even has the unique purring sound of a cat.
He's also very comfortable.
Everything is like a happy daily life, except of course that you can see the Iron Man Legion soaring into the sky outside the semi-open balcony.
"This country is crazy enough."
"And my current state is even more...ah, if Natasha knew this, she would definitely laugh at me."
Barton patted his forehead, and then he checked his personal equipment.
Kate does a great job, whether it's his high-tech quiver or some explosive arrows he keeps handy.
As well as some small S.H.I.E.L.D. equipment.
In short, Kate packed all the gadgets that Patton brought with him when he went on missions, and always carried them with him.
Pulling out the matte black small watch communicator, after Barton's authentication authority passed.
The various contact prompts on the small screen that pops up on the watch can be said to be completely overwhelming.
The most conspicuous.
Naturally, it was the emergency communication sent by Nick Fury after he fell into coma.
"Unfortunately, I think I failed in my mission."
"But how should I tell the commander that I unexpectedly started a family?!"
At first, Barton was still struggling with the issue of mission reporting, but soon his expression gradually changed.
Something is wrong.
Nick Fury's contact disappeared, replaced by a recall message from S.H.I.E.L.D.
It shouldn’t be!
His current situation is that he is carrying out a private mission assigned to him alone by Nick Fury.
Nick Fury should have a single line of contact with him.
But……
Why did S.H.I.E.L.D. use the agent number to recall him? !
"I didn't receive a reminder that the mission was over, so... did something happen to SHIELD, or did something happen to Nick Fury?!"
Barton's keen agent thinking, and at the same time, he also found a hidden message from Natasha in the lowest level communication.
confirmed.
Although the specific situation is not clear, unexpected changes have occurred in S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Trouble, more trouble."
"But what should I do now, hide it, or..."
Barton hugged Toshio Saeki and looked out the window, where densely packed iron men broke through the sky like mountains.
Why!
The world is really crazy.
"Beep beep beep."
Barton pressed the return communication button on the side of his watch and connected to S.H.I.E.L.D. through his agent privileges.
"This is Hawkeye, repeat, this is Hawkeye."
"I need support!"
