In the ward.
Pepper Potts sat expressionlessly on the hospital bed, looking at a top New York psychologist who was brought here by someone and said: "Again, I am mentally healthy."
The psychiatrist, who earns $30,000 an hour, pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said meticulously: "Ms. Potts, you said that, but your test results are not like that."
There was a pause.
The psychiatrist said: "You were at the scene of the explosion and witnessed the explosion with your own eyes. If you don't deal with it in time, small problems will turn into serious depression."
Pepper gritted her teeth: "I'm healthy and don't need any psychological treatment. Thank you. Can you please leave?"
The psychiatrist smiled again.
leave.
How is it possible? It will be an hour and a minute in four minutes. If you leave now, you will get one hour's money. In four minutes, you will get two hours' money.
Wouldn't it be nice to have more than thirty thousand US dollars?
Pepper took a deep breath, turned towards the door and shouted: "Tony Stark, get the damn psychiatrist you found out of here."
The words fell.
The ward door was pushed open.
Barbara walked in, thinking about Tony's face-saving request at the door, she smiled and looked at Pepper: "Tony, is Tony here too?"
Pepper blinked at Barbara who came in.
Barbara looked at the psychiatrist: "You can go out."
The psychiatrist smiled secretly in his heart, but the moment he saw Barbara's eyes, the psychiatrist was excited, then stood up and left without leaving a word.
In that second of contact, the psychiatrist suddenly felt as if the secret hidden in his heart had been revealed to the world.
Pepper looked at the psychiatrist leaving, breathed a sigh of relief, and said sincerely to Barbara: "Thank you."
"You're welcome!"
Barbara said, looked at the various flowers placed in the ward, sat on a chair next to the ward, and teased Pepper: "I can see that you are very important to Stark. "
Pepper curled her lips: "Not as important as Obadiah Stane."
Barbara's mouth curved knowingly.
In the final analysis, this was the real reason why Pepper resigned and left. Fortunately, Barbara felt that this problem would not arise with Baker.
"All men need training."
Barbara said to Pepper who was leaning up on the hospital bed: "Men are actually similar to donkeys and have very stubborn tempers. If you want them to conform to your wishes, you have to find the right way and follow their hair. You can’t do it against your will, otherwise, they’ll blow up their hair and not care about anything else.”
Pepper smiled and said, "Talk from experience?"
Barbara smiled and shrugged: "My own experience summary, you know Natasha."
Pepper nodded: "Yes, she is your deputy."
"right."
Barbara said: "Natasha used to dress in a sexy style, but she and Xin Zhao hadn't confirmed their relationship yet and it was only after their third date that she changed her dressing style. , just because Xin Zhao said that the sex appeal he likes about Natasha belongs to him alone."
Pepper shook his head and said, "Tony's temper is different from that of Beck and Xin Zhao."
Barbara smiled: "No matter how different he is, he just has a bad temper. Can he be as weird as Baker?"
"Beck... weird?"
Pepper blinked, thinking about the Baker in his impression of a suit and tie, who was always elegant and elegant, and smiled and said, "By the way, is the Baker I know the same person as the Baker you know?"
He's really not alone.
That guy is a schizophrenia patient with controllable attributes.
Barbara said in her heart, and then said: "That's because you haven't understood him yet. Believe me, going against them will only arouse their rebellious psychology. Follow him and then subtly change them. You will feel very uncomfortable." It’s cool.”
Pepper shrugged: "I'm thinking about it."
This matter was not her fault in the first place, so why should I admit my mistake first?
Seeing this, Barbara felt a little helpless, but she did not continue to advise. If she continued, it would be counterproductive, so Barbara directly changed the subject: "By the way, Pepper, do you have your cousin's phone number?" ?”
"What's wrong?"
Pepper's eyes lit up and she said, "You'll get the results so soon?"
Barbara thought for a while and hummed: "You call her, let's have a cup of coffee together tonight...tomorrow afternoon. By the way, tell her that you already know about her new boyfriend and you want to meet her." .”
Pepper said: "It feels so mysterious and complicated."
Barbara smiled: "Believe me, the truth is more complicated than you think."
Pepper looked at Barbara who had an inexplicable smile on her face. After a while, Pepper shook her head and said, "Okay, you aroused my curiosity."
Barbara smiled and said: "I dare not arouse the curiosity of Wall Street Pepper."
Pepper: "..."
At night.
After finishing the exercise, Baker just smiled when he heard Barbara talk about inviting Pepper and her cousin's family to have coffee tomorrow.
Nothing else.
Baker felt like he had guessed what Barbara was planning.
but……
Again, Baker has no interest in participating in other people's stories.
the next day.
In the afternoon.
The plaza next to the SHIELD Center building in New York.
"Holly, this way!"
Pepper, who had already arrived with Barbara earlier and was drinking coffee, looked at a man and a woman walking over from a short distance away. He stood up and waved: "This way."
Holly heard the sound, looked over, and then pulled the boyfriend next to her and walked over with a smile on her face.
Mike Banning didn't have much reaction when he saw Pepper Potts. After all, in his memory, Pepper was also present when he and Holly got married.
but……
When Mike Banning saw Barbara sitting next to Pepper, his steps paused slightly.
That... woman with a fetish for imprisoning gods.
Mike wants to leave.
But by the time Mike made up his mind, Holly next to him had already led him to his seat and sat down.
When Pepper looked at her brother-in-law who came to life and came back from the dead, she was no less shocked than when the private detective showed her the photos taken by him.
"Hello, Holly!"
When Pepper was shocked, Barbara had already handed out her right hand to Holly next to her: "I am Barbara Morse, just call me Barbara. I am Pepper's good friend."
Holly smiled and shook hands with Barbara: "Hello, just call me Holly. This is my...boyfriend, Mike Banning."
Barbara smiled.
Pepper next to her could no longer hold her breath and said directly: "Barbie, you can talk now."
Barbara glanced at Mike Banning, who seemed to be begging for mercy, smiled, and said to Holly: "Holly, actually, we already know the true identity of your boyfriend Mike Banning. .”
Holly was stunned, then became suspicious: "You guys?"
Barbara said: "Reintroducing, Barbara Morse, Commander of SHIELD, New York Center."
"Aegis?"
"A secret law enforcement organization, never mind."
Barbara downplayed the nature of the shield: "The main reason I came here this time is because your boyfriend hid something from you."
Holly couldn't help but look at Mike Banning next to her.
Mike smiled with a stiff expression. While feeling angry in his heart, he subconsciously wanted to tell Holly the truth.
but……
Barbara said: "Actually, Mike Banning does not exist. His true identity is actually your previously buried husband Gerry Kendini!"
Mike's movement to speak stopped.
Holly was also stunned, and then couldn't help laughing.
Pepper said from the side: "How is it possible? Gerry Kennedy is dead."
Holly looked at her cousin: "No, Gerry is back, just with another name, Pepper, Mike is Gerry, Gerry is Mike."
Said.
Holly once again kissed Mike, who had a somewhat stiff smile next to her, in an unbridled and unrestrained kiss.
Pepper had no choice but to say to Barbara: "What on earth is going on?"
She watched with her own eyes as Gerry Kennedy was put into a coffin, and then as the coffin was buried in the ground.
Barbara smiled: "Pepper, maybe you are right about your cousin Holly."
"What?"
"Holly, there is an angel watching over her."
"..."
When Holly heard what Barbara said, she let go of Mike's neck, with a happy smile on her face. She pinched the eight-winged angel crystal pendant produced by a famous jeweler between her neck and looked at Barbara: "Yes, my mother said so too, but I never believed it. However, after seeing my Mike come back, I believe that maybe, indeed, there is an angel guarding me. Mike must be An angel sent you back to me, right?"
Mike next to him smiled stiffly again, looked at Barbara, and wrote one sentence, what exactly do you want to do?
What do you want to do?
Of course, I am thinking of incorporating the Flame Soul of Vengeance into the New York Shield.
Baker made it, I housed it.
Barbara felt that she could tame even Baker, but there was no reason why she couldn't tame the Vengeful Flame Spirit.
The next second.
Barbara turned to Holly and said, "Actually, the results of Mike's interview came out this morning."
"interview?"
Holly looked at Mike next to her: "What interview?"
Mike looked confused, how do I know what an interview is? Then, Mike also saw the look Barbara sent her. It was also a sentence, which could be summed up in four Dongguo words: death or life.
This woman...
So poisonous!
Even more poisonous than that imprisoned god.
Mike was thinking this in his mind, but when he saw his wife Holly asking for answers, he hesitated for a while and said, "Yes, actually, I found a job. I originally thought that I would give you a surprise after passing the interview." .”
Holly's eyelashes flickered: "Really?"
Revengeful Flame Soul looked at Barbara who was smiling and saying nothing, then hummed and nodded to Holly.
The next second.
Holly squealed with excitement.
…
