Play Speak
"Hey! That's right, this is what happened in another world, okay?" Steve had to raise his voice and hands to try to stop everyone's laughter: "What happened in the other world has nothing to do with me! Okay? Damn it, don't think it was me!"
"Hey! Watch your language, Captain."
Tony finally found an opportunity to attack Steve for asking everyone not to swear, which made the audience laugh again. But at this moment, Steve still showed enough patience and ignored the reactions of his teammates: "So Watson, you said we met in 1944?"
"Yes."
"Meaning, you were in 1944...how old were you then?" Steve grasped the point and successfully changed the subject.
"Sixteen?"
Miss Watson scratched her lower lip with her fingertips. "I don't remember much. I wasn't an adult anyway."
"Then you...you said your world is not even the 21st century yet, so it's the 90s, right?" Steve's brain was spinning rapidly, and he returned to his long-lost performance as an intellectual hero: "Then wouldn't you be around 70 years old now?"
"That's right, but I fell into a deep sleep like you, but I woke up earlier than you."
Miss Watson changed the concept and did not say that she started to fall asleep after she was injected with super soldier serum by Howard in 1990.
"So how did we meet?"
"This happened a long time ago." Miss Watson shook her head and used the selective reporting skills she learned in journalism: "I was captured by Nazi scientists for experiments. Later... I met you when I was fighting Nazi soldiers on the battlefield, and you took me back... Sorry, I was still young at the time."
"It's all right, Watson."
Steve had personally experienced World War II and knew all about the dealings between Hydra and the Nazis, especially the part about the research of super soldier serum. With the help of a few scattered descriptions from Miss Watson, he automatically imagined a difficult story of a poor kid who escaped from the laboratory and wandered on the battlefield: "So I take you back to the base, and then what?"
"I trained with you guys." Miss Watson smiled as if she was reminiscing about the happy past. "You trained me how to fight, Peggy trained me how to shoot, and Tony's father, Mr. Howard, made me a set of equipment, oh, and two special pistols."
"So it's related to my father?"
Tony interrupted, signaling to continue the conversation.
"I still remember..."
Miss Watson began to drop a bombshell: "We parachuted into the Alps to hunt down the Red Skull. Time was too tight. I had no parachuting training, so you tied me to you..."
“Wow – hahahaha!!!”
Falcon Sam was the first to laugh again.
"Sam, shut up."
Steve pointed at the other man's nose.
"Hey! Watch your language, Captain." Tony immediately added another blow, and everyone started laughing again, filling the living room with a cheerful atmosphere. No matter how patient Steve was, he couldn't hold it in any longer at this moment, and could only show a helpless expression.
"That's what happened." Miss Watson continued to use her journalism skills, deliberately not mentioning the year she fell into a deep sleep: "You and I were both on the Hydra bomber, and then you fell into a deep sleep, and I fell into a deep sleep too."
"This is really..."
Steve recalled the kiss between him and Peggy before boarding the plane, and he also started reminiscing. His tone calmed down further: "Well, I really didn't expect it. I thought I was the only one who had slept for more than 70 years. This is really...ah, I don't know how to say it."
"So, you and Steve met in 1944." Falcon Sam came out to summarize: "You also met Tony's father Howard Stark that year, and then you said before that you helped Howard and his wife..."
As he was talking, he suddenly stopped talking.
Then he glanced at the Winter Soldier and quickly looked away.
"Um...what happened?" Mandis didn't know that the Winter Soldier assassinated the Howards in late 1991, and asked in confusion, "Why did you stop?"
“In fact, I later met Tony.”
When Miss Watson saw this scene, she could only continue to throw bombs: "If you don't mind, I mean...if Tony doesn't mind, I can tell you the story of how I met him..."
"Stop!"
Tony thought of what Miss Watson had said to him before, "beat up Tony who was in his 20s", and he was frightened. It was one thing to tease his old rival Steve, but he didn't want to embarrass himself in public: "This is the story of Steve. Now it's over, right? I think today..."
"No, it's not over for today. Come here."
Steve rarely got angry, or rather, he had a long-lost desire to play. He stood up and pulled Tony from behind the sofa with his two strong arms, forcing him to sit next to him. "Now it's your turn, Tin Man. You started it, so don't even think about running away."
"No! Wait, what does this have to do with me?!" Tony laughed so loudly just now, but he didn't expect the boomerang to hit him so quickly. He wanted to save face anyway, so he frantically looked for excuses to leave: "You said it yourself, this is Tony Stark from another world, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Yes, just take it as a joke."
Steve poured a glass of wine and slapped it in front of Tony: "Smile like you did just now."
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Falcon Sam was the first to chime in, although he was more likely trying to make up for the silence that had been caused by his inadvertent mention of Howard: "I see you're not without temper, Steve. Where's the nice guy?"
Seeing the people around him laughing, Tony realized that he couldn't escape today, so he just took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Okay, you bastards, especially you, Peter, how good was I to you before? Huh? You actually laughed so loudly?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Stark!"
Spider-Man Peter Parker pressed his mouth: "I just... I'm leaving now..."
He wanted to get up and leave, but War Machine Rhodes held him back: "What are you afraid of? I know Tony, he's not really angry, sit down! Sit down! Okay? Hey! Tony, don't think I don't know you're stalling for time, I see through you, buddy! You can't fool me!"
"Yeah, yeah, who's stalling? You act like you know me very well." Tony shook his head and motioned for Miss Watson to start talking: "Come on, I haven't done anything you mentioned anyway, OK? Just go ahead and say it, it has nothing to do with me."
"Ah."
Miss Watson took a sip of her wine. "I met you at the Stark family estate."
"The one in Long Island, New York?"
"Yes, Howard invited me to dinner or something that day, I forgot, anyway, you wanted to pick me up, and then you got drunk while drinking with me."
Everyone said "Wow" in unison.
"...And then?" Tony twitched his lips, managing his expression fairly well, and gestured to Miss Watson to continue.
"Then I lived in the Stark family manor for a while. You came to see me every day and hired a chef to cook for me..." Miss Watson counted on her fingers one by one: "You invited a band to come, let me drive your sports car, gave me a lot of jewelry, and hired a beautiful shooting coach for me..."
Every time he said something, everyone followed suit with an "Ooooh", the volume became louder and louder, the voices became more and more uniform, even Wakanda's King T'Challa couldn't help but join in the fun. On the other hand, Tony was almost unable to hold back his expression, but he still pretended to be calm.
I'll see how long you can endure.
"We ended up having a cowboy live-fire duel with revolvers while wearing bulletproof vests." Ms. Watson continued, "I remember that I seemed to have only worn a bulletproof vest, but you wrapped your entire body tightly, like you were wearing an explosion-proof suit. Actually, I've always wanted to ask you one thing: did you start thinking about the Iron Man armor at that time?"
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Laughter broke out.
Tony stared at Miss Watson and took a deep breath.
"Okay, pretend I didn't ask."
Miss Watson coughed lightly: "Anyway, you were hit by me, so you gave up the idea of pursuing me."
"Wow..." Rhode was the one who actively spoke at this time: "This is a heart-breaking bullet, man, you are willing to play such a dangerous game with her, it shows that you really like her, right? Hey, there are not many examples of you doing this, you..."
"Thank you! Analyst! You can shut up now! Thank you!" Amidst another burst of laughter, Tony finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked Rhodes to stop talking.
"Okay, then what?"
Steve said this.
"Then?" Miss Watson pointed at Tony: "Then he hooked up with my beautiful shooting coach."
"Fxck!"
The whole place burst into laughter. Tony cursed. His ears turned red with irritation. He raised a finger and said, "That Tony Stark is an idiot! Did you hear me? I'm not as stupid as him! OK? I won't do such a thing!"
"It's quite stupid."
Miss Watson killed the game with the line: "He still doesn't know I'm a man to this day."
Snapped!
Rhode clapped his hands vigorously, and laughed so hard that tears flowed down his cheekbones. His mouth was wide open, and he couldn't even laugh. Tony couldn't help it anymore, and pounced on this bad friend and beat him up, not caring at all that the other party was disabled, while several companions next to him were laughing and trying to stop the fight, and the whole scene immediately became chaotic.
Captain America Steve did not participate. Instead, he silently admired the people playing around for a while, and took the initiative to sit next to Miss Watson, with a look of emotion on his face: "Since the Civil War, everyone... I can't remember the last time we sat together like this, drinking and joking. Look, they are even playing around... This has never happened before. Thank you, Watson."
He held Miss Watson's shoulders: "Thank you, it means a lot to me."
"Isn't that what good friends are like?" Miss Watson curled her lips, "And you actually guessed it all? How boring."
The man did not answer, but smiled and lowered his head. After a long silence, he continued to ask: "Peggy...is she happy with you?"
"At least for now, she's very happy. She's older now. I dress like this to please her. She doesn't pay me..." Miss Watson wanted to say something else, but Steve raised his hand to stop her: "That's enough. Thank you."
"...If you really want to thank me, you can do me a favor."
"You said."
"I'm very sleepy now. I need to sleep, but I have a bad habit. When my sleep is disturbed, I might sleepwalk and hit people... You know sleepwalking, right? It means that the person is not actually awake, but the body is controlled by the subconscious mind to act. But my case is more likely to cause death. I'm not kidding."
Ms. Watson pretended to hit Steve twice with her fist and said, "When these people are done making trouble, tell them not to disturb me, especially Tony. Don't let him use any equipment to scan me, so as not to trigger my body's reaction. Also, don't let the Wakandans who don't know the situation get close."
"Of course, no problem, leave it to me."
"Okay, I'll go sleep in the room next to the conference room so you can find me." Miss Watson was so sleepy that she got up and walked out.
