Marvel's Speedsters

After a brief conversation, Betty Ross gently hung up the phone, and she sat alone in front of the dressing table, quietly staring at herself in the mirror.

For some time now, Betty has been trying to figure out what is going on in her heart. She was supposed to stay at Calvo University in Virginia at this time to continue to be a promising female doctor, and even she already had a suitor named Leonard Samson, a psychologist who was said to be academically accomplished, had a good personality, felt quite considerate, and was a good example of a good man among colleagues.

If she continues to follow the previous life trajectory, perhaps one day she will completely forget the existence of her ex-boyfriend Bruce Banner, accept Leonard’s feelings, and then get married and have children, living like an ordinary woman.

But it all took a turn after a trip to Washington, D.C., as if an invisible hand had quietly plucked the strings of her destiny.

Since following her father’s will to meet the young man he admired, Betty’s mind has changed a little—- not that her emotional world has added a color so quickly, and the intelligent and reserved Betty thinks that she is not the kind of amorous and fickle girl—- but that her academic ability that she has always been proud of has encountered an insurmountable peak and failed miserably. During that conversation, she could often clearly feel that the gentle and polite attitude of the other party implied all the arrogance, which made Betty angry but also had to admit that the debate was really eye-opening.

Perhaps this is why she suddenly made up her mind after torturing herself for several weeks, resigning from Calvo University, where she had worked for several years, and coming to New York to join the other party’s laboratory despite the dissuasion of her friends, which must have been a rational choice made in pursuit of a higher level of scholarship, and definitely not for some reason she did not want to admit.

That’s right, it must be!

Betty held her delicate cheeks and clenched her fists to cheer herself up in her heart.

To be honest, she is not an overly rebellious girl, as the daughter of a high-ranking general, Betty has received a good and complete education, she knows that although her father is conservative and stubborn, but he also has no reservations about his love, but perhaps due to the premature death of his mother Karen, there is a lack of an important communication channel between father and daughter, and sometimes there will inevitably be some friction, but the father and daughter will still get back together after the incident, so Betty usually considers her father’s opinion.

But this does not mean that she will obey his command like her father’s soldiers, completely without her own opinion.

Betty knew that since she became an adult, her father had been picking a good future partner for herself, but she had never met a satisfactory candidate. Bruce was close to him for a while, but he never got the general’s favor, and then there was a major experimental accident, and then he disappeared, perhaps for this reason, so that the guilty Betty missed poor Mr. Banner.

As for Leonard Samson, the general was not even as impressed as he was to Bruce, although the two men could meet occasionally and chat, and they looked quite harmonious on the outside, but as a daughter, Betty knew that her father did not take the psychologist seriously at all.

Perhaps every father subconsciously wants to choose a partner for his beloved daughter who has some similar characteristics to himself, so is Ross Byrne, whom he admires very much?

Betty was confused about this.

In terms of professional level, Ross’s ability is definitely more than any scholar she has ever met, except in the field of biology, he has a high degree of knowledge in all kinds of sciences, rich experience and knowledge, and there are many unusually novel theories that she has never heard of, so that he is much more attractive to Betty than others, including Bruce, who is not as humorous and interesting as Ross, let alone Ross’s youth and achievements.

It was impossible to make a choice quickly, and Betty didn’t know what was the right judgment, but she knew that she had become interested in Ross because of her interest in academics, which was a rather dangerous precursor.

Aren’t all feelings happening?

First there is interest, curiosity, want to know more, then curiosity as the understanding continues to deepen and transform into good feelings, then good feelings sublimate into love, and finally naturally enter the stage of love… It’s like dancing to the melody and unconsciously being brought into the rhythm.

Betty is a very rational person, and she sees this possibility, so she instinctively resists.

What’s more, there are several girls around Ross who have an ambiguous relationship, | it is clearly recorded in the newspapers, whether it is Mary Jane, who has known since childhood, or Gwen, the daughter of the local police chief, who is quite an excellent woman, or other scandalous objects, presumably they are not so easy to withdraw, and the father only knows to instigate, and does not know Betty’s embarrassment…

Unaware that her train of thought was deviating more and more from her original thoughts, Betty thought of the annoyance, and simply jumped on the chuang and buried her head deep with a pillow.

***

On the other side of the phone, after Ross and Betty finished talking, he immediately sent his subordinates to arrange the reception of the guests, and he stood outside the observation room, watching through the glass wall that Bulangsky gradually adapted to the strength after the renovation, while dialing the general’s private number.

The first call did not go through, and the second time Ross called again, he was received by the general’s close subordinates, as if there was some exercise operation over there, the deafening sound of gunfire was endless, and there was a huge roar faintly heard from the roar of the explosion, as if they were hunting some dangerous monster.

The other party didn’t have time to explain, and hurriedly prevaricated a few words and hung up again, this reaction was a little rude, but Ross just smiled slightly, he probably guessed what happened.

If he guessed correctly, maybe the big green guy was about to jump on the stage.

An hour later, his guess was confirmed.

General Thaddeus Ross personally connected the video communication and apologized for what had just happened.

“General, it looks like your situation is not very good.” Ross sat down in his chair and teased at the images on the screen.

Opposite him, the embarrassed general was dressed in a camouflage uniform soaked in rain and sweat, and in the background was a lawn shrouded in rain, on the green lawn were parked the wreckage of several destroyed armored vehicles, and at this time the sky was getting dark, and only orange flames could be seen burning in the vague ruins, and large black smoke billowing up by the raging fire, even the majestic rain could not be extinguished for a while.

It looks like they’ve just gone through a very hard fight, and the victory doesn’t belong to the military.

The general was indeed in a very bad mood, and he snorted and did not answer directly.

“Remember the guy we talked about, that green-skinned monster?”

“Of course.” Ross raised his eyebrows, as if very curious.

“It came and our arrest failed again, which is abominable…”

The general’s face was livid, and he couldn’t help but curse in a low voice, beckoning his subordinates to carry the wounded soldiers into his car one by one, and then turned his head to the screen again.

“Betty has already arrived at your place at this time, I handed her over to you, you have to protect her and don’t let her come into contact with strange people.” It was a strange request, but Ross knew what he was referring to, so he said yes.

His attitude gave the general a little comfort.

“I may be too busy to go to New York to see you guys in the next while, but I have already done work with friends from the procurement committee, and the Army will place some orders one after another, I hope this will help you a little.” The general said bluntly that at this time the battlefield cleaning had come to an end, and he intended to end the private communication.

“General, maybe I can help you with something.” Ross stared at the screen and said slowly.

“Help?” The general smiled disapprovingly, and then suddenly reacted.

“You mean those mutants of the Watchmen?” His expression was a little suspicious. “Are they reliable?”

In the past, the military did not recruit mutant soldiers, but then there will always be all kinds of chaos, either because of discrimination and colleagues caused a tragedy, or the X-Men of the mutant academy or Magneto’s brother came to the door to forcibly snatch people away, every time things are difficult to end, especially when it comes to human body research, they can neither avoid the professor’s psychic search, nor can they resist Magneto’s magnetic field attack, so there is no result for decades, and the military’s desire to recruit mutants is getting weaker and weaker.

After all these years of bitter lessons, although now that X Academy has disappeared and the Brotherhood has migrated to the Old World, all parties are still unwilling to act rashly for a while.

But of course, there is no problem with this in the laboratory, and now Ross himself is the strongest representative of the North American continent.

“I say reliable, they are reliable.” Ross replied with a smile.

The matter of importance cannot be made lightly, the general lowered his head and thought.

While he was thinking, Ross looked sideways at the observation room, at this time Bronnsky had initially mastered the ability to transform, and was trying to fight with the red tank with itchy hands, the two large bodies kept colliding, each impact would make the ground tremble slightly, if not for the special reinforcement of the walls and floor, maybe they would have chiseled several large holes in the room by now.

The general thought quickly for a minute and promised to send an invitation to Ross for the next operation.

This is just an attempt, but Ross can imagine that once endorsed by the military in the future, there will be no more resistance to the development and growth of the Watchmen, and he will directly control a powerful force.

Closing the video, Ross just stood up, there was a loud noise from the observation room, and a huge yellow-| giant was forcibly hit in the air by the red tank inside, smashing the tempered glass wall to pieces.

Clusters of glass shards fell to the ground, and Bulangsky’s body was pushed by a huge force and slid more than ten feet on the smooth ground before being stopped by Ross’s raised toes.

“It seems that you guys are having a lot of fun, do you want to join me too?” Ross asked with a smile.

Clumsily burrowing out of the hole, Ross’s titular cousin smacked his lips | grumbled.

“I can’t catch you again, or this guy is more interesting.”

Bronsky got up, he was careless just now, although the other party had almost no fighting skills, he was completely fighting physically, but the strength was too great, and he was thrown outside as soon as he missed his hand.

Although he has not yet fully mastered the transformation, and there is still room for future power to rise, this contest has dispelled the ambition he has just established somewhat.

Ross glanced at Bulangsky and smiled secretly in his heart, the appearance of the Red Tank here was exactly his arrangement, and he wanted to teach Broansky a profound lesson and let him know his status.

However, Cousin Marco is not so easy to dismiss, he has been eating and drinking in the laboratory for almost half a year, he has long been tired of it, and now he also wants to go out to relax.

“What’s the task lately, don’t always let me take the children, I’m staying here to the point of rusting, don’t forget that I’m your cousin.”

The red tank patted Yue Hun | with a big grin, and his muscles trembled.

“Well, there will be.” Ross touched his forehead helplessly| and turned his gaze to the screen.

Following his gaze, the two people next to him saw that the Hulk that the general had just sent over on the screen was clenching his fists and roaring up to the sky.
