Long Island, New York, was a quiet and peaceful residential area. It was the best place to live in all of New York. It had a high vegetation coverage, and tall broad-leaved sycamore and cedar trees were on both sides of the community road.
At different times of the year, the plants here would show different styles.
Long Island also had the lowest crime rate in New York. Someone once said so. Long Island was the only place in all of New York where you wouldn't feel so scared going out after midnight.
Because of the superior natural environment and high security. Long Island became one of the first places to live for the rich in New York. A large number of middle and high-income earners gathered here.
Steve Rogers currently lived here in New York. Since he received his first month's salary, he moved out of the S.H.E.L.D. employee apartment.
Because it was difficult to change the habits of life in a short period of time. You could say that Rogers was a bit old-fashioned. He preferred to read the newspaper for news, rather than through the Internet.
He spent more time listening to the radio than playing on the computer or watching TV for entertainment. He preferred to eat old-school doughnuts with only icing, rather than the fancy, chocolate-covered doughnuts sold in the bakeries on the street, or the new-school doughnuts with various flavors inside.
This was a habit he had developed over 20 years of life, and it was difficult to change overnight. Just like how Rogers preferred to open the window of his apartment every day to see the large green vegetation outside.
His family had been living in the suburbs of New York in the 1930s. At that time, the suburbs of New York still had a lot of virgin forests, unlike now where they had all been cut down.
When he opened the window of the S.H.E.L.D. employee apartment, he saw the bustling, noisy streets of New York. People always in a hurry to get to work and traffic jams.
So, Rogers asked Coulson to find a suitable place for him early on. On Long Island, Rogers rented an apartment with a decent size. The living environment here was similar to the environment he liked. This kind of place made him feel more at ease.
Of course, the rent of the Long Island apartment had never been cheap. This apartment of about 90 square meters cost about $5,000 a month.
The area of the apartment was large enough for one person to live in, but the apartment that had seemed spacious in the past was a bit crowded today.
"Patton, no. Hill doesn't agree to approve the 1 million USD budget. "Rogers said apologetically to Hawkeye who was lying on the sofa.
"S.H.E.L.D.'s budget is tight. Hill wants you to figure something out yourself. She said that the one million dollar reward you promised to Deadpool at that time was not approved and filed by the Finance Department. The Bureau is now short of funds and can't allocate one million dollars to you. "
Barton weakly lay on the sand. "This is working for the bureau. It's impossible for me to pay a million dollars to Deadpool. And I don't have a million dollars to give him. "
Coulson said while lying on a sofa watching TV. "Accept your fate, Barton. Once Hill makes a decision, she will never change it. She's even more stubborn than Nick. "
"I agree with Coulson on this point. Hill is the most stubborn leader I've ever seen." Black Widow Natasha, with beautiful red hair and an exceptionally beautiful face and figure, leaned against the wall, holding a can of beer taken from the refrigerator of Rogers' apartment in her hand.
"Hey ~ wait. Why are all of you at my house? Hawkeye is fine, but why are you here, Coulson and Natasha? "No wonder Rogers felt the living room was a little crowded.
"Because of Deadpool." Coulson had a disgusted expression on his face. "He splashed feces on Patton's apartment, welded the door, and sprayed red paint. These things are actually none of my business. But the feces he splashed stinks. "
"He really splashed feces? I thought it was Hawkeye exaggerating. "Rogers thought that if this happened in front of his house. No! I can't think about it. Rogers felt a little nauseous at the thought of it.
Natasha glanced at the beer in her hand and silently found a place to put it down. "And it's likely that he also mixed those things with garlic essence, the kind used to deal with Vampires."
"The kind of ultra-high concentration of garlic essence that can be diluted a hundred times, the whole floor is filled with that terrible stench. And Coulson and I live on the same floor as Hawkeye. Oh my God, I don't want to say anymore. "Natasha vaguely felt her stomach twitch.
As the person involved, Hawkeye instantly thought of the scene he encountered when he went home before and immediately jumped up from the sofa and ran to the toilet of the apartment to vomit.
This kind of vomiting sound seemed to have an infectious effect, even Coulson and Natasha couldn't help but move their throats, and finally resisted the desire to vomit together.
"Oh my God, I'm going to kill Wade! The smell of garlic essence will remain for at least seven days before dissipating, and the people in the logistics department can't get rid of that disgusting smell at all. And in front of my apartment door is written in red paint, 'Debts should be paid'. "Patton came out of the toilet, his hands and face were dripping with water.
"Captain, let's just let the Avengers gather. Let's just capture Wade and be done with it. "Natasha suggested.
Coulson and Hawkeye turned their eyes to Rogers at the same time, and Rogers could only speak. "No, Natasha. The Avengers will not gather for such a small matter. "
"Well then, Captain. At least for the time being, I will live in your house. " Natasha twisted her waist and approached the Captain, one hand on his shoulder, her lips close to Captain Rogers' ear and said softly.
"Of course, if you don't mind, we can sleep in the same bed." After saying that, she blew a breath into Rogers' ear.
Rogers ran away a little awkwardly, and Natasha smiled a little proudly.
"Oh, Captain. I think Hawkeye and I will live in your house for the time being, of course, we can sleep on the floor and the sofa. "Coulson also opened his mouth to speak.
Rogers was a little helpless. "Why don't we find a way to give Wade a million dollars first?" He said and looked at Barton.
Hawkeye said immediately. "If I had a million dollars, I would have given it to him a long time ago. Deadpool is famous in the industry for being difficult. I don't want to be stuck with this gummy candy. "
"What about your money?"
"Captain, you have to know that the Bureau can't reimburse me for everything. For example, some special bow parts and arrowheads. And some camouflage clothes and speedboats I bought. "
"Why not reimburse you?"
"Because that's what Barton used to go to Canada for deer hunting and hunting when the hunting season comes. The speedboat is used to go to the legal hunting area of the Great Lakes to hunt alligators, and he also bought a hoverbed in New Mexico before for hunting. And all kinds of other expenses, am I right? "Coulson mercilessly exposed Hawkeye's habit of spending money.
"Ha! Stop talking about me, Coulson. You just spent fifty thousand dollars on a set of Captain Rogers flash cards last month! Do you think I don't know? "Hawkeye was a little angry after being exposed, so he also exposed Coulson's shortcomings.
"Well, gentlemen, please calm down." Natasha had to come forward to smooth things over.
"Stop talking about this Barton! This is my hobby. Just like Natasha, she spent money on a full set of tickets to Madison Square Garden to watch games throughout the year, as well as football, baseball, and ice hockey! This is a healthy hobby for us. "Natasha was also inexplicably dragged into this.
"Natasha and I met you earlier than you, Coulson. She doesn't like to watch these sports games at all. She just likes to watch the muscular handsome guys running around on the field!" Barton was a little speechless. His words instantly caused Natasha to explode.
"Enough! Shut up! You two sissies! "Natasha used a beautiful grappling technique to release the two big male agents. She growled angrily.
"Don't think I don't know! You used the S.H.E.L.D. network to hack other signals when you were on duty just to watch the Victoria's Secret Angel show! "
"You men can openly watch beautiful women walk around in sexy lingerie, what's wrong with me watching some athletes sweat on the field!" Natasha was now like an angry lioness, which instantly silenced Coulson and Barton.
"Oh, sorry," the two of them said in unison.
Rogers looked helplessly at his living room, which was now a complete mess. The overturned sofa, the glass coffee table that Coulson had smashed because of Natasha's grappling technique, and the overturned potted plant next to the TV. He had only lived in this house for a few months!
"So you mean you don't have money right now? You don't even have a million together? "Rogers looked at the three of them helplessly and nodded.
Rogers: "What about Iron Fist?"
Coulson: "Daniel is busy saving money for the lawsuit. He wants to take back the company his father left behind. It'll cost a lot of money. "
Rogers: "What about Blade? I heard he killed a lot of vampires. He might have some savings. We can borrow some from him first. "
Barton: "He recently bought a house in New York City with a loan. He's about to marry Jen Kailin. I heard that the monthly mortgage payment is more than thirty thousand dollars. "Fine, that's not going to happen.
Rogers: "What about Luke Cage?"
Natasha: "Don't mention him. He borrowed fifty thousand dollars from me last month. He seems to be in need of money. "
There was only White Tiger left among the Avengers. Rogers didn't want to ask anymore. They were probably the same as the others. All of them had no money.
"Sigh ~ Sigh!" The four of them sighed in unison.
"Forget it. I'll think about it later." Rogers could only put it aside for now. He told them about the new measures that Hill had mentioned.
"Hill said that starting tomorrow, S.H.E.L.D. will cancel the free coffee and doughnuts." Someone smashed a piece of porcelain.
"And the air conditioning will have to be adjusted too. It'll probably be too cold and not hot enough." Another piece of porcelain fell.
"Also, the dining system will be changed, and so will supper. We'll start charging for utilities and self-service laundry. "
Clang, clang, clang. Rogers buried his head and pretended not to hear it.
He felt that his new home was about to be destroyed. Would there be enough plates for dinner? He doubted it.
He couldn't help but look for the person who was smashing the plates, but Natasha and the other two seemed to be busy with other things. They quickly searched for their phones and mumbled to themselves.
Coulson said, "It seems that three websites need part-time programmers for network maintenance. I hope they're not full yet."
Hawkeye Barton said, "What was the number from the archery club last time? Let's see if they still need a coach."
Natasha said, "Stark, Stark, Stark! Although he is a playboy, he is also not my type. But he asked me to be his personal secretary, and the salary is pretty good. "
Captain Rogers finally gave up. He could only lean against the sofa in vain. It was not easy to lead a hero's team!
Suddenly, an urgent news cut appeared on the TV news. The news anchor read the script with a serious expression. "This is a piece of news that was broadcasted."
"Since the S.H.E.L.D. prison incident attracted widespread public attention, there has been a new scandal in S.H.E.L.D. recently."
"In the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison incident, a hero who once protected the city from supervillains has recently had a very distressing matter."
"That is his salary dispute with S.H.E.L.D... It is said that S.H.E.L.D. owes him a million dollars in salary, and he is now protesting at the gate of S.H.E.L.D.. Let's contact the reporters on the scene. "
