Marvel's Speedsters

Leaving the slum, Ross and Mary Jane arrive at Riverside Restaurant and await their guests while admiring the tranquil |views of the Hudson East River in the bright sunshine.

Today’s guest is Mary Jane’s newly acquainted friend, a wonderful woman named Natalie Roschman.

A few months ago, Ross and others had contact with Natalie in Times Square, when Mary Jane was still a rookie in advanced training, and Natalie was a versatile wandering singer, after listening to her wonderful performance, Mary Jane admired Natalie’s superb level very much, and the two also collaborated on a song, and Ross also cooperated at that time.

Later, when Mary Jane tried to find her again, Natalie was no longer there, she was like a mysterious hermit, occasionally short-lived, and then disappeared into the vast sea of people in New York, until not long ago, when Miss Roschman was interviewed by the Human Resources Department and competed for the position of Pepper’s administrative assistant, she was rediscovered by Mary Jane, who happened to pass by, and the two became friends and had a very close relationship, and today it was also Mary Jane who specially invited each other to introduce her girlfriend to her boyfriend.

At this time, it was a busy traffic period at noon, less than five minutes after Ross and the two arrived, Natalie called in advance to inform that there was an unexpected traffic jam on the road, about twenty minutes late, Mary Jane certainly wouldn’t mind, and said a few words of laughter to her, and then put down the phone.

“Ross!”

She was about to chat with her boyfriend, when she suddenly found a figure flashing outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a strong man in a blue horizontal striped T-shirt hiding in the corner of the wall secretly looking at this side, and that person was obviously not a reporter following the photo, but similar to the photo of a husband they had just seen.

Ross closed the menu and looked up to follow his girlfriend’s hand, he had already noticed that the person outside was none other than Flint Marko, whom he had heard about not long ago.

“Please come in the gentleman.” He ordered casually, and the clever waiter quickly nodded and brought the embarrassed Flint from outside to Ross’s table.

Walking in with a nervous face, Flint looked very restrained, and before he could sit down, he thanked Ross and the two of them.

“It’s nothing.” Ross waved his hand, interrupting the other party’s thanks. “Penny is lovely, Mary Jane and I both like this little girl, I heard Lady Teresa mention your situation, and now I ask you, would you like to settle down, I can help you find a job nearby, although the income is not high, but it should be enough for you to support the whole family.”

Hearing Ross’s suggestion, Flint hesitated, but finally shook his head in decline.

If he had heard such good news a month ago, he would definitely not need to think about it, and he would have agreed immediately, lest the other party’s promise be invalidated, but now it is different, some kind of force is working in his body, making Flint no longer the ordinary thief he used to be, so he began to want more.

In order to achieve this goal, Flint has been thinking hard these days.

He had considered robbing the bank again, but he didn’t want to see his daughter sad that she was in jail, and with the recent increase in superheroes and the fact that the damage compensation company affiliated with Cutting-edge Labs had signed protection contracts with many financial companies, it seemed unwise to take reckless risks, but he couldn’t do other money-making things. Just when Flint was anxious to raise his daughter’s medical expenses, Ross’s appearance made his eyes shine, he had heard how much influence Ross had, so Flint wanted to seize the opportunity to fight hard and provide better living conditions for his poor daughter, who was plagued by illness at a young age, through his own struggle.

“Mr. Byrne, I don’t have a craft, I didn’t go to high school, what I have now is this body, I want to follow you, you can let me do anything.” Flint said carefully, due to his limited knowledge, he didn’t know how to describe his current state, so he directly stretched out his index finger | and pushed hard in front of Ross and the two, and the thick and |strong finger on the spot made a crisp crack, which was broken into two from the middle.

“Ugh!” Mary Jane covered her mouth | startled.

Under her astonished gaze, the broken index finger did not shed a drop of blood, but turned into a stream of yellow sand, slowly gathered into a ball, and then squirmed a few times on its own to recover as before.

“That’s it.” Flint, who is not good at words, flicks his fingers several times in a row, indicating that he is safe and sound.

When he raised his head again and looked at the expressions of the two people in front of him, he found that Ross looked indifferent, and Mary Jane was only surprised for a moment.

This discovery made Flint extremely frustrated, and now he remembered that Ross had been the founder of the Watchmen Company and the first billionaire to openly recruit mutant employees, and perhaps people had seen similar abilities, and his performance was not surprising.

Ross certainly won’t be surprised, he has long known Flint’s identity, one of Spider-Man’s sworn enemies, because of a scientific accident got super-powered Sandman.

Originally, he had planned to let the other party go and let Flint play the role of a loving father, but he didn’t expect that this guy would find him again.

“Mr. Marko, what do you want from me?” Ross crossed his fingers on the table, staring at each other with calm to indifferent eyes, although the two were about the same height, Flint had a feeling of being looked down upon in his heart, making him dare not speak casually.

“I want to be your bodyguard, or anything, my daughter has suffered a lot because of me, and I want to give her a better life.” Flint blushed and pleaded.

His attitude was very sincere, Ross had not yet expressed her position, Mary Jane was first moved by him, thinking of the ruins where Teresa and Petunia were temporarily staying, and the little girl’s desperate and helpless eyes, she couldn’t help but momo Ross’s knees under the table and persuade him to give Flint a chance.

Ross shrugged his shoulders, Sandman’s abilities were quite good, and if he really turned in, it certainly wouldn’t hurt him.

So he took out a business card, handed it to the thankful Flint, asked him to arrange the affairs of the house, and then reported to Todd.

Seeing Flint leave, Ross’s side returned to quiet, but after this toss, some of the surrounding diners recognized Ross’s identity, and there happened to be a fan of Mary Jane next to her, taking this opportunity, several female white-collar people came to ask her to take a group photo.

It is rare to meet your own fans in this kind of place, and Mary Jane, who is still a rising star, did not feel disturbed, and readily agreed to the other party’s request, and several people pressed their faces together and took several self-| photos with their mobile phones.

Ross smiled silently next to him, his eyes swept and saw one of the women using the cover of the group photo, consciously or unconsciously leaving an oval object the size of a grain of rice on his girlfriend’s shoulder, which happened to be the same color as Mary Jane’s navy blue printed dress, if not for Ross’s keen eyes, even the closest to her would be difficult to detect.

Through special vision, he could see a weak electric current passing inside, invisible electromagnetic waves emanating from the built-in antenna in the miniature device, and the crest of the wave quietly pointed to a certain building not far from the restaurant.

Ross knew that outside surveillance had always existed, but this time their approach was undoubtedly a bit out of bounds.

Sending off this group of enthusiastic fans, Rose chatted with the elated Mary Jane a few more times before putting down the cup.

“I’ll go.” He rubbed his girlfriend’s smooth cheeks and walked into the corridor behind the lounge area with a gentle smile on his |.

***

A thousand feet away, two men in black were observing the movement in the restaurant through their instruments.

Sitting in front was a young man who looked like a college graduate, a few years older than Fitz, who was responsible for repairing Hawkeye’s memory, and next to him stood a middle-aged man, and the two listened carefully to the sound in the loudspeaker while recording the conversation coming from it.

“Group A moved smoothly, the target was completely unusual, the sound transmission signal was also clear, and Group B could retreat.” The young man adjusted the knob and suggested that perhaps because the installation of the bugging device was smoother than expected, he also had a hint of contempt for the two Ross, who were unaware.

“Wait a minute, the target goes to the bathroom, Group B waits ten minutes to confirm that the situation has not changed before retreating, the black widow | will help us, the target will stay here for at least an hour, we need to execute the plan perfectly, record all possible information.” The middle-aged man shook his head and vetoed his companion’s proposal.

The young man pouted and gave the order, and the other group in the restaurant naturally complied.

“I said, let’s just find a reason, wouldn’t it be better to capture him back for interrogation, why waste time here.” The young man said casually.

“You think too simply, this is the founder of the cutting-edge laboratory, a genius scientist of the same level as Stark, there is no conclusive evidence, even if it comes to the Security Council, it will be rejected, S.H.I.E.L.D. has guidelines for S.H.I.E.L.D., we just need to follow orders, since the director suspects that Ross has an ulterior secret, we are responsible for finding out his secret, and there is no need to consider other issues.” The middle-aged man stood up, looked out the window, and scoffed at his companion’s indiscretion.

In his opinion, young people always oscillate between excessive recklessness and excessive caution, but as long as they stay in the field long enough and have enough experience, they will naturally understand what is the most important thing for agents to pay attention to.

However, his instructions were not answered, and the middle-aged man turned around, and was about to pass on a few more words of experience, when he suddenly found that the young companion was missing, the door was closed tightly, but the colleague who was sitting at the table was missing.

“William!” The middle-aged man was startled for a moment, tentatively calling the young man’s name, wanting to see if his companion was joking with him.

Before he could find the other party, a person who was not a stranger appeared in front of the middle-aged man, which was exactly the target of their mouths.

“William went to another world, now it’s your turn.”

Ross said lightly, stretching out his right hand |, and the stunned middle-aged man noticed that he was wearing a golden glove on his hand.

“Wait…”, the man reached for his waist as he tried to distract him.

At the moment when his fingertips just touched the handle of the gun, a deep blue vortex quietly appeared behind the man, swallowing the middle-aged man standing in front of him.

“Nasty flies.” Sending the two agents | into the otherworld, Ross raised his right hand and the Infinity Gauntlet turned transparent.

He did not stay any longer, activated the divine speed, his body turned into a hazy cloud of light and shadow, and countless molecules passed through the wall without hindrance, and instantly left this secret monitoring room.

When he reappeared, he had returned to the Riverside Restaurant, and his girlfriend’s new girlfriend had just walked to the table, and the two were having an intimate conversation.

“Hello, I’m Ross.”

With a gentle and clean smile, Rose reached out | friendly hand and gently shook Natalie.
