Zoe?
Twilight Star Spirit Zoe?
Baker couldn't help but feel a little dazed, blinked his eyes, came back to his senses, and couldn't help laughing: "How did you come up with the name Zoe?"
Barbara shrugged: "I don't know, I just suddenly thought of it. If it's a boy, let's call him Zoe. If it's a girl, then just listen to me and call her Zoe. How about that?"
Baker opened his mouth: "...I can't think of a reason to refuse."
Barbara had a beautiful smile on her face. She stood up, kissed Baker, told him to wait for him in the bedroom, and then turned and walked towards the spiral staircase not far away.
Baker looked at Barbara's back in a daze.
real.
He really couldn't find any reason to refuse this request. As long as there was a reason, no matter how unreliable it was, Baker would stop his daughter from calling Zoe.
reason?
Beck doesn't know either, it always feels weird.
……never mind.
Baker shook his head. He was not a superstitious person. Zoe would be Zoe. This name sounded very cute, and she might not be a daughter.
Maybe it will be Zouk, but not necessarily.
With this thought in mind, Baker shook his head, drank all the bourbon in the glass, and then walked towards the spiral staircase.
the next day.
During working hours, Barbara arrived at the SHIELD Center in New York on time. However, as soon as she sat down, Natasha walked in and told Barbara something.
"What?"
After hearing this, Barbara frowned: "The Nine Magic Rings were signed and transported away by San Fei Decoration?"
Natasha nodded.
Last night, Phil Coulson took off from San Fei in an emergency and arrived at the SHIELD Center in New York. He directly showed Director Maria Hill's signed order and took away the safe full of the Lord's Nine Lords of the Rings.
Barbara said, "Why?"
After the Mandarin surrendered, the arrangement for the Nine Magic Rings had already been decided. Soon, the Nine Magic Rings would be transported to a secret base for top-secret storage along with the vampire pathogens captured forward.
This decision was also confirmed by Sanfei Decoration. How could he suddenly change his mind? Moreover, he sent someone overnight to pick up the Nine Magic Rings?
"Walk."
Barbara got up and walked outside. She planned to have a live conversation with Sanfei.
Command center.
The big screen lights up.
The figure of Maria Hill, who was working in her office, appeared on the big screen.
"Commander Moulton!"
"Director."
After Barbara looked at Director Maria Hill who appeared on the big screen, she said straight to the point: "Director, about the Nine Lords of the Rings..."
When Maria Hill heard this, she laughed directly, and then said: "This is an urgent request from the Security Council."
"Security Council?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"avoid arousing suspicion!"
"avoid arousing suspicion?"
"right."
Barbara was speechless, trying to avoid suspicion. Why should she avoid suspicion?
Maria Hill put down the pen in her hand and took off her office glasses: "This matter was brought up by Paris. There is no way. Who asked your man to mess with Paris?"
Barbara: "..."
Less than an hour after the story of the under-ice base was completed, and before the culprit, medical officer Rex, was escorted to the special forces headquarters, a piece of news directly detonated the entire Paris market.
James's arms industry was the main culprit that destroyed Paris' landmarks. Then, James's words of wanting to rule the world also flowed into the market through unknown channels.
Immediately afterwards.
The market value of James Arms Industry was as if it had collapsed. Before Paris could react, the capital that came and went in a hurry penetrated the Paris market and disappeared.
No.
Paris looked at the shares of James Arms Industry that were already worth less than the price of papyrus, and was completely on the verge of tears.
And then……
Paris was so angry that they didn't know how to transfer their anger to SHIELD.
One sentence.
The Mandarin colluded with James Arms Industry. This is a fact determined by SHIELD. So, Baker Morton once had shares in James Arms Industry. Can it be considered that Baker Morton was also involved in this matter? Among them, as his girlfriend, what role does the New York Shield played by Barbara Morse play.
The Security Council may not be able to touch Baker, nor dare to touch Barbara, but they dare to touch SHIELD. At the very least, they dare to touch the trophies belonging to SHIELD.
Because the spoils of SHIELD are the spoils of the Security Council.
Barbara listened to Maria Hill's story and felt a conflict of wanting to laugh. It was indeed magical Paris, with the same magical logic as always: "What about the rest of the Security Council?"
Maria Hill comforted: "Don't worry, Commander, the Security Council naturally did not agree to Paris' request that Paris keep the Nine Magic Rings."
Barbara frowned: "Where will the Nine Rings go?"
Maria Hill said: "Although the Security Council did not agree to Paris's request, SHIELD no longer has the custody of the Nine Lords of the Rings."
Although the current sponsor of SHIELD is the Security Council, SHIELD is more inclined to be on good terms with Baker.
The Security Council was very dissatisfied with this situation and had itchy teeth, but it had to hold its nose and not cut off SHIELD's funding allocation because of Baker behind SHIELD.
This is helpless, but very realistic.
so……
In the past, the Security Council wanted to find fault with SHIELD, but now it has. This time, when Paris was handed the knife, they directly used Paris as a tool and let SHIELD because Barbara was SHIELD. On the grounds that they should avoid suspicion, the senior management directly divested the jurisdiction of the Nine Magic Rings.
As for the current Nine Magic Rings?
Maria Hill rubbed her eyebrows: "I don't know either, but the Federation will not let such a powerful weapon leave the Federation. I am using resources to investigate."
Barbara raised her eyebrows after hearing this.
The next second.
"Shet!"
"What?"
Barbara came back to her senses, and under the sidelong glance of Natasha next to her, she quickly waved her hand towards Maria Hill on the big screen: "Sorry, Director, I'm not talking about you."
Maria Hill smiled: “Is there anything else?”
Barbara shook her head.
After a while.
call ended.
Barbara sat on the sofa, rubbed her eyebrows, and felt a vague pain in her trigeminal nerve.
Nothing else.
But Barbara remembered telling Baker that the Nine Magic Rings were in the hands of SHIELD and would never be taken away by the Federation. It had only been a few days, and this was a clear and obvious slap in the face. .
no doubt.
The Federation is about to leave. The Nine Rings must be uneasy and have good intentions.
Damn it, could it be that the explosive hedgehog was right again?
Barbara couldn't help but rub her eyebrows. From this point of view, it seems that maybe the earth will really welcome aliens on next year's Independence Day.
At noon.
Barbara took a moment while having lunch with Natasha and Pepper to call Beck.
"Where are you?"
"Broadway."
Baker, who was preparing to go to Broadway with Richard Castle, answered the phone and said: "Martha has a performance today, and Richard and I are here to support her."
Who knows what it is like for an expired Broadway stage actor to have a second spring? Not only can he stand on the Broadway stage again, but he also won the best play.
Not only Richard couldn't believe it, but Baker also found it a bit weird.
but……
After all, it was Richard's mother who sent the tickets specially, and Baker was too embarrassed to refuse no matter what.
Barbara hummed, and then told Baker the news that the Nine Lords of the Rings had been transferred away by the Federation.
Baker laughed: "What did I say?"
Barbara looked helpless: "Okay, okay, you said, I know, but do you know where the Nine Magic Rings are?"
Baker said: "It's none of my business. I only know that once they study it, the Romulan Empire will receive the signal. Then, congratulations to Earth for joining the cosmic chat group with an entry ticket."
The Romulan Empire invades Earth.
It's right to say it's a crisis, but it's also right to say it's an opportunity.
If the earth can't stop the Romulan Empire, then it's GG. But if the earth can't, then it's a certainty that the earth will enter the cosmic era.
but……
Again.
Baker was not interested in this, but he was still very interested in Martha's stage play: "By the way, Martha gave me two tickets. Are you free tonight?"
"night?"
"right."
"I thought you were already watching."
"no."
"..."
Baker smiled and said, "A new video arcade has opened on Broadway. Richard and I came here to play for a while. If you come over, we will meet at five o'clock?"
Video games?
Barbara blinked her eyes. Good guy, others got tired of playing electronic shooting and turned to real-person shooting. But her family did the opposite. When they got tired of playing real-person shooting, they went to play real-person shooting. Electronic shooters went.
but……
This is a hobby, and Barbara feels that she should encourage it instead of complaining. At the very least, it is better to be addicted to electronic waste than to be addicted to killing.
so.
Barbara smiled and said: "Well, keep the ticket for me, and I will meet you at the theater after get off work."
Finished.
Barbara hung up the phone.
Natasha, who was sitting next to Barbara, looked sideways after Barbara hung up the phone: "Video game? Real or fake?"
Barbara shrugged and put away the phone: "Who knows, but at least, this hobby is better than other hobbies, right?"
Natasha thought seriously and then nodded.
soon.
With the one-ton selection and the man in black who looked more like a driver than a bodyguard leading the way, Pepper Potts, who has now become the executive vice president of Stark Industries, arrived belatedly.
…
