"Is the air conditioner broken here? Boy, your face looks a little red. Are you hot?"
"Uh, uh, ah, eh, oh, thank you, maybe, after all, we set the temperature to the maximum."
Being asked about his concern by his idol should have been the reason for Harry's blush, but before that, he had been 'passed' in Draco's hands, and then he started to daze. At this moment, he was patted on the shoulder by the idol, and he quickly subconsciously patted his face, revealing a The biggest smile.
"If you feel hot, you can find some ways to cool down," Captain America said sincerely, taking out an ice bucket from the freezer, quickly filling a small cup of ice cubes with a cup on the bar, and handed it to the boy. "Here, put it against your face. It should make you feel better."
Harry thanked him gratefully in a low voice, took the cup and put it on his face, and successfully changed his mind - using the excitement and excitement of being cared for by his idol, he used the excitement and excitement of being cared for by his idol to replace the weird and wonderful feeling just now, as if the lake in his heart had been gently moved. Drive away the strangeness.
"I won't wash my face when I go home today." He whispered to his friends with a happy expression. But when he saw Draco showing his old expression and saying, "Oh, you're so disgusting," the strange feeling was finally driven away. Right, this is Draco's normal expression!
Harry breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
"It's not fair, you can't walk when you see the Quidditch star," he retorted happily, in a low voice, "And I can't worship my idol?"
"Am I as disgusting as you?" Draco said with a sour mood that only he could feel. "You said 'I won't wash my face when I go home today'. Do you want to take this glass of ice back and keep it? Make it a family heirloom and pass it on?"
"You really have no right to speak against me on this matter, dear Draco. The first Golden Snitch signed by a star that you got when you were five years old is still in your locked drawer..."
"Do you know how many gold galleons that can sell for? It's a collector's item—"
"Although I don't want to do it, a cup touched by Captain America can also be sold for a sky-high price. I can't see the difference between the two -"
"That's enough, don't go off topic," Hermione pushed her hair back and interrupted decisively like a commander, "Both of you, always remember, we have to get out quickly - this is who we are goal! You can’t just suddenly start arguing over this!”
She slapped the table.
"You boys are all so childish, aren't you!" She said with a slight disdain, and looked at Harry again, "I thought you were different, Harry!"
Harry covered his face knowingly, refusing to admit that he was enjoying it: "Sorry, Hermione."
Draco snorted, "'different'? What's the meaning of 'different'?"
"Shut up," the girl said sternly, "keep solving the puzzle!"
One of the two boys laughed dryly and the other rolled his eyes - but they did it immediately because the girl was right and this was what they should do at the moment.
…………
Loki was not surprised that Stark sat next to him after he left the boy's side.
"Recruitment failed, huh?" The man from the atrium asked him in an annoying tone, "Can I interview you - if you understand the original meaning of the word 'interview' - about your current education on 'Atrium Ants' How are your horizontal senses? Or, let’s put it this way, do you understand your situation?”
"I don't want to talk to you now, Stark." Loki said casually, as if he was not rejected. "I advise you not to come and talk to me. This is between the boy and me, between the two mages. Matters of time.”
"Very proud, huh?" Tony was in a happy mood, not feeling offended at all, because he knew that Loki had been rejected miserably, so such an evil god was like a cat that was holding on for dear life. My own arrogance, "I think you may need some advice - when you are selling to someone, at least let him see your sincerity instead of trying to trick him and strangle him, or persuade him to leave his family and friends, how about Sample?"
Before Loki could look over with a cold look, Tony stroked the stubble on his chin and said as if talking to himself: "Thor's family education seems to be rubbish - it's been so long that he hasn't instilled the correct concept of human nature." Entering your mind, he failed too much."
Loki's careless, unseemly expression changed when he heard his brother's name. His attitude was originally arrogant and cold, which was his consistent attitude towards the people on earth. He seemed to have turned into an ice wall in front of him, which was an obstacle that prevented the 'ants' from reaching his throne; but once Thor was mentioned, That attitude will turn into something else.
The change is obvious. His facial expression will be much more relaxed. Y admits that he is very good-looking and his smile will be quite charming, but this smile never really reaches the bottom of his eyes and heart. I'm afraid Thor himself, who caused this change, is not unaware of it, but similarly, Thor himself will never refuse to break the ice wall. That wall is easy for him to cross. This is not only because of his strength and persistence, Also because Loki's arrogance is not indestructible to him, but may be broken at a touch.
But after the ice wall was broken, what faced Thor was not his brother's sincerity, but probably something like a poison apple, bright and shiny, sweet in the mouth but full of tricks.
Tony once saw Loki ask Thor for what he wanted in a less bastard and cold tone. His tone was friendly, his attitude was just right, and his request was not excessive. His expression looked helpless and docile, but also Without losing his arrogance, he is like a person who says, 'I'm at my wits end, I've resigned myself to my fate, so don't push your limits and give me what I want', but in the end he finds a way to use the siblings from next door to break through the house. The restriction inside meant that he still hadn't given up, and could still cut Thor's heart with words, causing him great pain that was visible to the naked eye.
As a bystander, this may be worthy of sighing, but as Thor's friend, this feeling is not very pleasant.
Therefore, afterwards, when Tony and Steve thought about it and analyzed it with their companions, everyone felt that maybe this was Loki's purpose, to make Thor restless, dissatisfied, disappointed, and sad, and to let him know what he had worked hard for. It was useless. Whatever relationship they had had should have been broken off long ago. It was something twisted, cold, and should have been shattered long ago. Thor shouldn't have tried so hard to maintain it.
Therefore, Tony was not surprised to hear Loki say: "Just because I understand human nature does not mean that I need human nature. I am a god, and I don't need those things that will hinder my ability to make wise judgments."
"I'm sorry, but do you call this, yourself, 'wise'?" Tony mocked unceremoniously, "I don't see anything in your life so far that can be called 'wise'. Maybe you don't We understand the earth’s culture, but we generally don’t call people who, you know, hurt family members who care about them and hurt innocent people a wise person.”
"I don't expect to get your approval." Loki spoke arrogantly, "I don't need it. One day, facts will prove that I am the one who is wiser, wiser, and more suitable to use power and power. I am ——The person who is more suitable to be the king of Asgard than Thor."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for another thousand years." Tony cleared his throat, "Okay, let's change the subject. I'm not here to interfere with other countries' internal affairs - you are particularly persistent with that child. Why? I don't like to interfere with you. Do you want to get a teaching qualification or something, but I thought you hated all people on earth."
Loki sneered.
"I told the truth." He crossed his legs, took a bottle of wine from the well-furnished bar, and his attitude returned to a lazy look, "I don't expect you to understand the mystery of this. To put it simply, that If a child has a talent, every mage would be willing to have a talented apprentice, so just report it to the leaders of your Earth."
He said this with a joke in mind: "With a little guidance, he will become very strong. Very strong."
"This doesn't convince me." Tony said, "If I had known earlier that you were still in this mood, I wouldn't have dragged him in - really, I was just a little curious, he was a wizard, and the boys around him were... Girls are also wizards, what’s the difference?”
Loki took a slow sip of wine.
"I don't think you and I can get to know each other this well." He said, "Did you make a mistake? I'm not Thor, so I won't answer every question. If I answer, you will help me accept it. this boy?"
"No," Tony refused firmly, "He has two fathers, a pair of brothers and sisters, and a godfather. He is a minor under the guardianship of these people and has his own personal freedom, and we will neither You can't do this - such as pushing him into your big pit - there are people who plan and arrange his life for him. Without those people, he would still be able to exercise his own will and do what he wants to do. "
He slammed the cup away from Loki.
"For Thor's sake, I would like to advise you, Loki - give up this idea as soon as possible. I think Thor doesn't want to see his brother beaten to death. He has worked hard to get you back on the right path."
As soon as the words were finished, Loki raised his eyes without warning, his expression as cold as ice, and his lazy dark green eyes burst out with cold light at that second, and almost at the same moment, click With a wipe, the glass in Tony's hand shattered, and the wine and ice cubes fell on his hand and the ground. The sharp shattering sound startled Steve and the three children, and they all looked over. .
Harry and Draco hurriedly caught the fragile piece of clue paper dropped from Hermione's palm - they were making rapid progress, and had almost solved the last puzzle, but now they were interrupted again.
"Tony?" Steve was looking after the children. When he saw this, he immediately walked over in a few steps. His body unconsciously assumed an aggressive posture and his muscles tensed up. "What happened?"
"It's okay, it's okay for now." Tony waved his hand casually. The glass shards didn't hurt him much. He shook off the glass shards, wine and ice cubes casually, took out a paper towel and wiped it, although he said stop to Steve. However, his eyes were fixed on Loki, "It seems that someone has a bad temper."
"Oh, I guess that's not good." The Evil God gritted his teeth in a cold tone, "Then why can't you be more considerate and say less unpleasant things? Hmm? Stark?"
"I just can't understand what some people think." Steve noticed that Tony's voice was slightly higher. "Their relatives are still alive, still have love for them, and fulfill their responsibilities, regardless of whether they have been weaned for thousands of years. , but it is so difficult for some people to believe in goodwill, right? They will be satisfied as long as their loved ones are in the same level of pain as them. You always only look at what you want, and don't consider others - —”
"Are you fighting for Thor?" Loki laughed angrily, "I didn't know you were so friendly. Why don't you be his brother? Anyway, I was never his brother."
"This actually has less to do with Thor, man," Tony said bluntly, "it's more to do with your displeasure."
Steve knew that Tony was thinking of his father - when he could understand his love for his father, his father was already sleeping underground. And these days, they have all seen Thor's efforts: he strives to become an ordinary American man except for being in Asgard and crisis. He learns electrical appliances, learns to read mobile phones and maps, and learns to be in this world. Living in a city, he wanted to become good brothers with his brother again, or at least, lead him on the right path. To this end, he and Free had many encounters.
Of course Thor knows that the Earth has laws of the Earth, but he just can't let people treat his brother like that, nor can he sit back and watch Loki really become his eternal enemy, leave, be hostile, or never return to Asgard at all, and take cold, useless things. Treat him with a relational look.
Unlike humans, the life of a god is too long, and a person’s life is so short. For Asgard people, decades can easily slip through their fingers. But because of this, in these short decades, Everything that sprouts, whether love or hate, will become particularly important, just like an open fire in a closed wooden house. Even if you try to ignore it, it will eventually burn down the entire house and occupy an unforgettable place.
But God’s life is really too long. It's almost endless, and thousands of years are just a small part of it. The love and hate that are so intense now will eventually turn into sand and be forgotten, just like you may remember a quick glance at the scenery as a child. , but you may not remember a friend who gave you a piece of candy at some point, and you were happy for it.
Steve and Tony also drank with Thor. When he was drunk, Thor once told the truth - he was afraid that Loki would become an enemy and a harmful person again, but he was even more afraid that Loki would leave and no longer be an Asgardian. , no longer Thor's brother. Every time Loki said 'I was never your brother', it would cut a scar in a hidden place in Thor's heart.
Steve doesn't have a brother, but he knows what it feels like. Even if he is no longer a rookie in the team, even if he is already a powerful person, there will still be things that can easily knock him down, just like when he saw Peggy Carter, who was already an old man in the hospital, just like when he saw Peggy Carter again. To Bucky who should have parted ways long ago.
A person's body may become strong and hard through many hardships, and a person's experience and resistance to shock may gradually accumulate through various things, but as long as a person's heart is still full of flesh and blood, it is soft. Its inability to be exercised is also related to resistance to shock.
The human heart is not indestructible. Once it is attacked and dominated by emotions, it will definitely hurt. 166 reading network
