Although something unexpected happened on Christmas Eve, Ross will continue his work.

Today is Christmas, the staff in the laboratory are basically on holiday, the national holiday is one and a half days, Ross himself added two more days below, it doesn’t seem too much, but compared with other companies, it is already very generous, so since yesterday, the employees have left one after another, and today is even more rare, until he finished his own thing and planned to leave for home, no one came over.

“Welcome, Miss Storm.” Shortly after telling the doorman to let him go, Susan came to him.

Today, she looks smart and cool wearing a black casual jacket with tight black leather pants and warm snow boots, a black and white scarf and matching hat of the same color.

Although her appearance is bright, as long as she thinks of her frightened and stupid look the day before, Ross can’t help but slander in her heart: What is the use of this woman spending so much thought on dressing, intelligence is a hard wound. Of course, he still knew in his heart that Susan was by no means an embroidered pillow, but he was more curious to put himself in danger and implicate himself.

Forget about the past, and suddenly come over today, it will definitely not have good intentions.

Ross secretly guessed whether this woman had guessed something from yesterday’s events, after all, she and Pepper had seen how they looked when they did it, and with the woman’s intuition, maybe they would find some clues.

“Is there anything I can do for you?” He asked earnestly.

“Can I come in?” Susan didn’t have the idea of going to the reception room, she flashed her beautiful big eyes and looked at the door behind Ross, and the meaning was clear.

“Okay.” Ross shrugged her shoulders and asked Susan to come in. Access to your own lounge.

There are many things on display, basically his own handmade, some Pepper has seen before, some have been made recently, and most of them are models and schematics that he has worked out little by little from his impressions outside of his work and life. As time passed, his previous life faded away, and although he was trained to remember what needed to be remembered, the longer the time, it was inevitable that some not deep enough impressions would fade, so Ross has been working to sort out the knowledge of his past life and list some seemingly useless inspirations that actually have some reference value for future reference.

Curiously looking at the realistic spaceship model and observing the alien creatures roaring up to the sky, Susan stood with her hands in her pockets for a moment, looking back and smiling at him.

“It turns out that you have studied so many aspects, which is remarkable.”

Ross pouted, although it was a compliment from a beautiful woman, but he was not a cheerful little hairy head who was casually coaxed by the girls.

“Is there anything I can do?” He rehashed the same old words.

“I’m here to express my gratitude, for what happened last time.” Susan said and looked at him carefully, and when she saw that there was no reaction, she put on a nonchalant look.

“Originally, Pepper was also coming, but there was a temporary change, Stark was recovered from Central Asia, she was in a hurry to pick up her employer, went directly to the air base, I had to come by myself.”

Hearing Susan’s words, Ross knew that the long-lost Stark had finally returned alive.

Originally, he was still wondering if the future Iron Man was fanned to the distant underworld by his little butterfly from the other world, and now it seems that some things will inevitably find their original trajectory.

But that’s okay, with his current strength, even in the face of the Avengers as a whole, he may not fall into the downside, not to mention that he will continue to strengthen over time. Just like last night’s battle, in the past, against tens of thousands of Magneto, he could only take advantage of the void, and now he can actually fight in person without falling behind, I have to say that this is a giant. Big achievements. What’s more, there are still some things waiting to be discovered at the bottom of Lake Akalia outside Stryker’s base, and once the limelight passes, he will take the resources that have not been used correctly for himself and let them really play their due value.

“You don’t seem to have been back to school lately?” Susan was still knocking on the side.

“I asked your tutor, you only got the basic hours, and you usually even rush the exam, have you encountered any trouble recently?”

She must have guessed something, but she wasn’t sure yet.

Ross watched coldly, slowly talking nonsense with her, anyway, there was still a period of time before the agreement, and he was not in a hurry.

“The lab is busy, and I’m going to spend a two-person world with my girlfriend, but why didn’t you spend Christmas with Mr. Doom, I heard that your spaceship is about to launch. Finish. ”

Susan wrinkled her nose and stood up straight, naturally exuding an amazing beauty, full of feminine charm.

In terms of appearance alone, she is more delicate than Mary Jane, more feminine than Gwen, and more affectionate than Jean, no wonder Reid’s dead-eyed nerd is obsessed with his ex-girlfriend, and Doom, who broke up, also frequently shows affection for her subordinates.

I don’t know that Ross is secretly gossiping in private, but Susan has not given up her efforts, insisting on finding some secrets from him to solve her curiosity, but she has never received a little talk.

It is of course impossible to admit the existence of mutants.

Yesterday’s incident report has not yet been officially determined, but the academy incident has reached a general conclusion, which is basically more favorable to Ross.

After Stryker and his gang disappeared at the same time as the Academy mutants, the federal government seemed to be in a conflict again, and whether to fight or appease became a question that no one wanted to face. Of course, there is no need to think about rebellious warlords far abroad, or tribal chiefs with oil fields, they must fight first, and even a normal country, as long as it is profitable, politicians and capitalists behind it will not hesitate.

But mutants are a little tricky, in the past, there was Professor X, a moderate leader, who wanted to denounce it without any problem, even if there were some larger conflicts, it was easy to appease afterwards, but I don’t know what Ecstasy this guy Stryker gave to the president, coaxed the temporary owner of the White House to give himself authorization, and then very unlucky stepped on the bomb and blew himself to pieces.

So now all military and political parties can only temporarily pretend that they do not know anything, and the wanted mutants are still wanted, but try not to expand. It’s easy to pull these superpowers out and fight, but it’s hard to end up in case of trouble. So far, they don’t know that Charles Xavier is here in Ross, so they can only make various guesses based on some insignificant traces.

Fortunately, Stryker’s subordinates are basically mercenaries, and the Ministry of Defense does not need to pay pensions to many families of the dead, nor does it need to disclose the truth of the attack to the press, so it can still perfunctory the past, and all the important members privately encircle Hank, a mutant beast who has lost contact with the academy, to inquire about this aspect, and on the other hand, step up research to see how to effectively control the threat posed by mutants.

This is also a competition, it is not impossible for humans to destroy mutants, as long as they are carefully prepared, mutants are not inviolable. The gods of offense. But now that the two sides have not completely torn a veil on their faces, there is no need to risk such a big loss, and with the halfway point of the presidential term, when the election campaign begins, politicians are even less in the mood to pay attention to matters that have nothing to do with their future.

As for last night’s speeding party, it is easier to solve, after the death of Kim He, these gang leaders suddenly found that there was no dog leash around their necks, and they jumped harder than usual for a while, these days have already made all parties very unpleasant, and now it is time to take the opportunity to pack up and change a few guys who are willing to listen to people to take the position.

The only unfortunate citizen who was accidentally affected when Ross and Magneto fought was swept by those steel columns, and it was inevitable that some people’s heads would bleed, and for this matter, the incident investigation team initially confirmed that it was a gas leakage accident, and the cause of the accident was traced back to Norman’s destruction of the underground pipeline in Central Park in the Green Goblin incident. This explanation is very convincing, anyway, there was a cloud of smoke, and few people saw Ross and Magneto appear, so the whip swung around, and finally fell heavily on the back of the unrelated Osborne.

His reputation took another hit, and Harry, who had been struggling to cope with internal and external conflicts in the company, hastily ended the endless controversy discussions, delegated all the tedious matters to Felicia, and flew alone to sunny Madrid for a vacation, perhaps in the distant Iberian Peninsula, where he could find a relaxing and pleasant time.

So now that all responsibilities have been divided, of course, Ross refuses to step in and stain the sludge, and he and Susan come and go, arguing endlessly, pushing the relationship to nothing.

In the end, the angry Susan was also a little bit petty, and even opened her mouth to threaten.

“Believe it or not, I’ll ask Mary Jane, did you guys get together last night?” She approached Ross and said.

“What the hell do you want to know?” Ross spread his hands and made an innocent look. “Today is Christmas, you don’t celebrate with Mr. Doom, what is it to come to me?”

“I broke up with Doom!” Susanjiao. Proudly raised her face, Dum’s scandal yesterday made her completely determined, now the two only have a working relationship, after the aerospace research expedition she will resign from Dum Company and leave.

If it weren’t for the fact that this expedition was also her wish, and a lot of hard work had been put in beforehand, now Susan wanted to regain her freedom.

“So it is,” Ross clenched his fist and tapped his palm, suddenly realizing. “Then it’s the time of Mr. Richards, maybe some other gentleman I don’t know, and presumably there is a gentleman of the regiment behind him cheering for the news.” Don’t hesitate, Miss Storm, hurry up and find true happiness, don’t waste time with me. ”

Susan was half mad at Ross.

She came from a traditional Puritan family and had only talked to two boyfriends in her life, and both Reed and Doom respected her very much, but when she came to Ross, she seemed to be satirizing her becoming known as Fang. Pool. The girl was general, and she was already a little angry, and she was immediately carried away.

“I’m going to report you to the police and let Mary Jane know what you’re hiding from her!”

Hearing Susan’s words without brains, Rose was also very angry for a moment, from last night to now, it seems that everyone is making a fuss about their girlfriend, seeing Susan turn and want to leave, he immediately grabbed her throat and pushed her hard against the wall.

“You try it.”

The low and cold voice suddenly awakened Susan’s senses, and she remembered what a dangerous guy Ross was, and the powerful power spread to Susan’s heart through the dry and stable palm, making her tremble. She thought about begging for mercy, but the pressure on her throat was unusually great, and she could only twist her pair helplessly like a gecko nailed to the wall. Legs, twisting desperately . Moving the body, more and more breathless.

To be killed?

A terrifying thought crossed her mind, she really didn’t expect Ross to react so intensely. Violent.

Fortunately, before suffocating, Ross put her down in time.

“Sorry, it’s been a bit out of control lately.” Ross calmed down and then explained to Susan.

It has been quite a long time since he came to this world and accepted a new identity, and in the process, he has been subtly changing, which makes Ross himself a little dazed. In the past, there has never been a similar situation, he is a kaleidoscopic and multi-faceted person, and each identity will not cause too much trouble, but now he may have been away from the original world for too long, and there is no longer a bond, and before he knows, he has really become Ross Byrne, instead of the cold-blooded military intelligence agent before.

This change is not good or bad, it is just an invisible evolution, but Ross does not have time to think about it, and the outside world naturally asks him to make his own choices.

Susan gasped violently. After a while, she rubbed the red marks on her neck and choked out a lot of the water that Ross handed over, and it took a while to recover.

Raise the tide in your face. With a red delicate face, she stared at Ross with complicated and indiscernible eyes for a moment, reluctantly accepting his apologies.

“Forget it, I shouldn’t have said something like that, we had an agreement that we shouldn’t leak something about you.”

Susan finally relented. delete

Sending Susan away, Ross looked at her hands in distress, completely lost in thought.

“Did I inadvertently awaken some strange ability?”

He guessed wildly in the mirror, but he was still his usual self in the mirror.

There are phoenix women in the front, and Susan in the back, their behavior is more strange than one, although such a woman Ross has not seen before, but the thought of superheroes like ordinary people have complex psychological problems, Ross still feels strange.

Shaking his head, no longer bothered by this kind of thing, Ross ordered the toad to find someone to clean up the floor, and then left the laboratory and headed south.

An hour later, across the crowded Broadway, Ross found a familiar white figure in the bustling Times Square, standing alone on the street, looking a little lonely, seeing a pick-up approaching from a distance, and then the girl shook her head and refused.

“Merry Christmas, darling.” Rose hugged her into his arms from behind, and Mary Jane cried out in surprise, “Ah”.

“Merry Christmas, Ross.” At this moment, she smiled like a flower.

The two hugged happily in the crowd, and after a while, they felt a cold face one after another.

“It’s snowing.”

Mary Jane said softly, and they slowly raised their heads, and in the gray sky, white snowflakes were falling.
