"Will Laura have lunch with us?" Natasha noticed the closed door, "Laura entered the room after saying hello to us. Just now I saw her go to the kitchen to get some bread, and then hurriedly
Are you working on a manuscript when you go back?"
"I said a few days ago that I was going to submit the manuscript, and now I'm finishing it. She hasn't had a good meal for several days." Barton said helplessly, "Ask her to pay attention to rest. She always promised to do well."
Yes, but it’s still the same the second time.”
"It's Laura's death deadline again?" Jasmine asked curiously. She had been to Barton's house twice, and both times happened to coincide with Laura's deadline. She didn't expect that this time would be no exception.
Barton wanted to say something, but after hearing the knock on the door, he could only nod at Jasmine and Natasha, and walked to open the door.
"Honey, I'm here to take you home." Tony flashed through the door, opened his hand and ran straight towards Jasmine. Natasha stood up and gave up the seat next to Jasmine before he came over. Tony looked at Natasha with satisfaction.
Thumbs up: "You are indeed my good partner."
Barton, who was following behind, looked at Tony's performance and asked Natasha quietly: "Has something good happened recently? It feels like Tony is particularly excited today."
Natasha smiled in confusion and did not answer Barton's question.
"Guess what news I got?" He turned to look at the two people behind him who were talking about him. Tony's face was so calm that the two of them couldn't feel any tension, but Jasmine could feel the hand on her waist.
There was a slight tightening for a moment, "some congressmen submitted the Sokovia Agreement."
The four of them changed places and sat in a circle around the round table. Jasmine didn't know much about these things, so she could only sit quietly next to Tony, trying hard to follow their thoughts.
"Are they really coming this time?" Natasha frowned. They, the members of the Avengers, had neither received any notification nor heard any news.
Barton put his hands on the table and clenched them into fists: "We are isolated. They plan to enforce the provisions of the agreement after it is passed."
Tony loosened his collar and sneered: "I haven't received any news either. Doesn't anyone want to know the source of this message?"
"It's Captain and Sergeant Bucky." Before the three of them could speak, Tony couldn't help but say, "They have completed their mission and want to return to the Avengers. But they didn't expect to hear such important news."
"Where are they now?" Barton asked subconsciously.
Tony's eyes dodge, not daring to meet the eyes of Natasha and Barton: "I didn't believe what they said at the time, so what I said was a bit extreme, and they... left."
The remaining three looked at each other and saw the helplessness on each other's faces.
"Since you don't believe what they said, why did you tell us?" Barton held his head. The longer he spent with Tony, the more he felt that Tony Stark was like a willful child sometimes.
"Because I had doubts about the above approach." Tony shrugged, his face was serious when he became serious, and there was no trace of playboy in him, "A year ago, Stark's group was summoned by the court.
Do you know what’s the most ridiculous thing about the lawsuit filed by the judiciary? The content of their lawsuit is that the Avengers have seriously damaged social order and even endangered public safety.”
"This is the first thing I want to say." Tony hesitated before speaking out, "Mycroft Holmes hopes to cooperate with us to establish an Avengers stronghold in the UK."
"The captain won't agree, and neither will I." Barton gave his attitude without thinking at all.
Tony looked at Barton with a look of disapproval in his eyes: "The reason the Avengers were established was not to better eliminate those who do evil. If this idea can be better implemented, why can't it set up a stronghold in the UK?"
"Tony." Natasha suddenly said, "You know that if we establish a stronghold in the UK, our situation in the United States will be even more difficult."
Jasmine actually didn't agree with Tony's idea, but she didn't say anything.
Tony looked around and found that the remaining three people all held opposing opinions, and tentatively revealed his thoughts: "I was thinking that if one day we encounter a situation like Sergeant Bucky, maybe..."
Natasha shook her head firmly, but this time it was Barton who did not speak.
"You understand, right?" Tony looked at Barton, and although Tony did not look at Jasmine, all he was thinking was for her, "If I am the only one who accepts the trial, I will accept any verdict of the court. But Jasmine and
Laura is different from us, they have no blood on their hands, they should not be tried and they should not receive an unfair verdict."
The atmosphere around the four people gradually became solemn. After watching the baby fall asleep, Wanda was frightened as soon as she entered the room, and happened to run into Laura coming out of the room.
"Guys, there's one more thing." Tony looked sad, put his hand to his mouth, pretended to cough, and his voice was more solemn than before, "Today is also the end of the Avengers' bill settlement."
Natasha and Barton's faces were stern, and their expressions were unprecedentedly serious.
Tony was even more sad and seemed to be in pain: "Your New Year's bonus has been put on the card. Promise me, remember to check it, okay?"
"How much is your dividend?" Jasmine poked Tony's arm and asked curiously.
"My bonus is zero! I worked hard for the Avengers for a year, and at Christmas they didn't even give me money to buy donuts." Tony couldn't help but pound the table.
Barton lowered his head to check the text messages on his phone and complained calmly: "You still want to get dividends? You don't listen to the captain's instructions, contradict the superiors, and sometimes can't even contact you. I think it's a miracle that you are still in the Avengers.
"
"Don't forget, Tony is also a special consultant of SHIELD. How much dividend do you think SHIELD will give him this year?" Natasha added, "You must know that there is no such thing as SHIELD now."
"I still remember, will the captain and the others get their dividends?" Barton asked curiously.
Tony snorted: "Of course not. The two of them are equivalent to fugitives outside. How can they receive the Avengers' dividends?"
"Poor captain." Barton said sadly.
After Natasha counted the zeros on her bank account, she said sincerely: "Poor captain."
Tony looked at his watch. He who always did things as he pleased showed a rare expression of reluctance: "Jasmine and I have something to do today, so we have to leave first. We'll get together with Captain and Bucky next time."
"Is the matter about to be resolved?" Understanding the hint in Tony's words, Natasha couldn't help raising her eyebrows and asked.
"Who knows." Tony said half of the sentence, refusing to reveal any more information.
Jasmine, who was being pulled by Tony, was a little confused. She had no idea what the two's plans were for a while. She thought she could go home directly after visiting Barton.
Xu understood the confusion on Jasmine's face, and Tony said while fastening his seat belt: "Sherlock is leaving, I think you should go and see him off. After all, if it wasn't for him, you might have stayed in the triangle area longer.
a period of time."
"But I always feel like we forgot something." Jasmine still felt something was wrong.
Tony, who had already driven onto the highway, was silent for a while: "Is Wanda still at Barton's house?" (83 Chinese .83.)
