"Although it looks younger than yourself, in terms of seniority, the captain is indeed your elder."

With a smirk on his face, looking at Stark, Shi Xiaolei said a name that he hadn't thought of at all: "I believe you should already know that during World War II decades ago, he and Howard They're good friends. I mean, the kind you can go through life and death with."

"..." After a little bit of imagining the scene of 'Steve Rogers appearing at the party as an elder', Stark shook his head without hesitation: "Forget it, I don't want to care about him Call Uncle."

"I knew you would say that." Stark's reaction did not exceed Shi Xiaolei's expectations.

After all, Steve Rogers had been frozen as early as the end of World War II, and Stark was born in the 1970s. In other words, apart from hearing the name from his parents, Stark has never actually met Captain America himself.

And after the American team was dug out of the ice by S.H.I.E.L.D., after thawing and waking up to regain freedom...

Although the alien invasion war triggered by the supernova broke out, its scale and the number of people participating in the war were not inferior to the Chitauri invasion in "Avengers 1", but because of the With Shi Xiaolei's family as the main attacking force, Stark, the US team Bao Osborn and others can only be regarded as soy sauce, they did not participate in the battle deeply enough, nor did they feel the intrusion in the battle against the invasion. too much pressure.

Without an opportunity, naturally there is no unbreakable union as in the original plot.

The birth of the Avengers came after the battle.

To be precise, it was after Shi Xiaolei was sent to the depths of the universe by the Infinity Gems that Nick Fury took the opportunity to put forward the suggestion of 'in order to deal with the next crisis, we need to form a team' in the post-war review meeting. Then, Beunita who attended the meeting instead of Shi Xiaolei, Stark who fell into anxiety because Shi Xiaolei left, and the US team who felt the threat of aliens during the battle unanimously agreed, which gave birth to The Avengers in this world.

The idea of ​​cooperation did not arise before the war, but this proposal was made during the post-war review. What does it mean?

It means that after the formation is completed, this team has not yet experienced the test. The so-called cooperation is only in words and does not support each other in action, and the so-called solidarity has not been effectively tempered.

Although they are both members of the Avengers, the personal relationship between Stark and the US team is far less familiar than in the original plot.

Not to mention that the US team looks very young, it is difficult for people to accept the fact that he is an elder psychologically. Even if he is seventy or eighty years old, Stark will not regard him as his elder.

"What about... Peggy Carter?" Looking at Stark, Shi Xiaolei smiled again: "I haven't met Steve before, so it's normal not to admit it. If it were Ms. Carter, you wouldn't deny it, would you?" ? As far as I know, when you were young, you met her more than once, and they are very familiar with each other."

Following Shi Xiaolei's reminder, Stark recalled some pictures in his mind.

When he was a child, that is, when Peggy Carter was still working in the United States and had not yet retired to the UK to recuperate, she did often appear at her home to discuss work matters with her father Howard. And during the vacation, she would occasionally stay with her mother, Maria, to chat about the private matters between women.

Peggy Carter once had a brain collapse because of mischief.

I also cried because of a fall, and was hugged and coaxed by Peggy Carter.

"If it's Aunt Carter, she's a pretty suitable candidate." A flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and there was a bit of emotion on his face. Stark shook his head slightly, and said with some hesitation: "But to be honest, I really doubt whether she can come to attend. After all, she is over ninety years old and lives in the UK..."

"Distance is not a problem. If it is confirmed that she can come and she is willing to come, it is nothing more than opening a portal. The key is whether her physical condition is good and whether she is allowed to do this." Pause , Shi Xiaolei smiled confidently: "About this point, I don't think it should be a problem."

"Um?"

"After all, Ms. Carter is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D.." Facing Stark's skeptical gaze, Shi Xiaolei gave his guess: "Let's not talk about whether a retired veteran like her will receive special treatment." Preferential treatment~lightnovelpub.net~ Just because of the experience and contacts she has accumulated in the front line for decades, she is not something they dare to despise at will. That is to say, as long as SHIELD has that condition in hand, it will definitely Give priority to Ms. Carter, to ensure that she can live a long and healthy life."

"After all, I have been dealing with S.H.I.E.L.D. for several years. From my hands, they have obtained a lot of good things that outsiders cannot access. Such as various potions, technical materials brought back from alien planets, and so on. It is indeed difficult to guarantee her health if only relying on the public health care technology, but now... In my opinion, her physical condition is definitely not worse than that of the Queen of England."

"Isn't there a piece of news reported two days ago? On the way back to Buckingham Palace from the Summer Palace, Her Majesty suddenly became interested and drove for half an hour by herself. Hehe, if my speculation is correct, Ms. Carter's physical condition is no worse than Her Majesty is poor, I think, coming to Xiao Chunni's 100-day banquet is not a burden for her."

"Of course, this is all my own guess. I still have to confirm the specific situation." Having said that, Shi Xiaolei raised his hand and gave Stark a suggestion: "Call the corned egg and ask about it." Well, or, you can also call Steve directly. With his relationship with Ms. Carter, it is impossible not to know her recent situation."

Whether it is Nick Fury or Steve Rogers, Stark is not very willing to take the initiative to call.

But thinking of the 100-day banquet, the elders must come forward to send blessings to little Morgan. Without this link, the ceremony would be incomplete...

"Okay, okay, alas." After hesitating for a while, Stark finally sighed: "I hope everything goes well. Wait for me for a few minutes, and I'll ask."
