Regarding the fact that her biological father was ugly and not cute, Issou felt that... hmm,
It wasn't that big of a deal.
Anyway, it hadn't been passed down to her,
She was still so good-looking, pretty, and cute.
Hmm.
It really wasn't a big deal.
Issou tried his best to convince himself,
And forcefully brainwashed himself — —
To think on the bright side. For example, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with having an ugly father. At least the family of three would go out,
She would definitely not be the ugliest.
Besides,
Even if other people's fathers were handsome, could they make people cry? So what if her father was ugly? At least they could make people cry.
The biological father who was handsome without a nose: "...???"
After such a wave of brainwashing, Issou strangely convinced himself,
Although the main reason was that this was already an established fact, so no matter how conflicted and distressed she was, and how unwilling she was to accept it,
It wouldn't change the fact at all.
So after Issou forcefully brainwashed herself and succeeded in brainwashing herself,
She temporarily put this matter to the back of her mind. After all, she only knew who her biological father was, and it wasn't like her biological father came looking for her.
What?
You asked Issou if she still remembered that her mother had called her before,
Told her that her biological father would come looking for her soon (although he hadn't appeared yet)?
...
...
...
Was there such a thing?
Issou, who chose temporary amnesia, said that,
She didn't care,
Even if her biological father really came looking for her,
That wasn't a matter for now,
Since that was the case,
Then she would leave the future matters to the future her to handle.
With that in mind,
The expression on the black-haired girl's face was no longer as forced as before,
She was very! Don't! Be! Straight! After patting Steve's chest, she asked curiously, "By the way, Steve, did you find Sergeant Barnes?"
Hearing Issou's question, it was Steve's turn to become a little listless. He shook his head, his beautiful eyes tinged with obvious disappointment, like a listless golden retriever. He said, "No, I was just about to ask you if Baki came looking for you again."
As he spoke, Steve looked at Issou. His blue eyes were as clear as spring water, so clear that one could easily read his emotions from them.
"Sorry."
Looking into Steve's eyes, Issou felt that it would be a crime if she couldn't give him an answer that would make him happy. However, it was true that the Winter Soldiers had never come to her again, so even if she couldn't bear to see the honest and kind Captain America disappointed, she had to tell the truth.
Because based on Steve's feelings for Baki, there was no way she could lie to him to make him happy. After all, Issou was very sure that —
Regardless of whether what she said was a lie or not, Steve would not hesitate to follow what she said and continue to pursue the matter.
Not because he trusted her, but because Steve was unwilling to let go of any opportunity to find Baki.
So for this reason, how could Issou dare to tell him any lies to make him happy?
"Issou, why are you apologizing?"
Steve couldn't help but laugh when he heard Issou's words. When he saw her looking at him, he said, "It's not like you didn't tell me when you knew where Baki was, so you don't have to apologize at all."
The black-haired girl really underestimated this Captain America from World War II. He naturally felt disappointed that he didn't get any news about his best friend Baki, but that was it.
When Baki was trapped in the Hydra stronghold and everyone said that they were all wiped out, he didn't believe it. He forced his way into the Hydra and finally rescued Baki.
If he couldn't defeat Steve at that time, now that he knew that Baki was still alive, how could he be disappointed?
Steve believed that as long as he persevered, he would eventually reunite with his best friend one day.
"I'm worried that you'll be disappointed."
After Steve finished speaking, Issou deliberately glanced at him. Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, Issou immediately curled his lips and said with a smile, "After all, you and Sergeant Baines have such a good relationship."
Before he knew that Baki was still alive, Steve had completely accepted the fact that his best friend had died decades ago, but after seeing the Winter Soldiers, he found that the fact that he tried so hard to convince himself to accept was completely overturned.
Of course, in any case, the fact that Baki was still alive was a great thing for Steve. However, Baki's current situation made him worry.
Whether it was that he had now become the assassin of Hydra, Winter Soldiers, or that he had lost all memories of him as Baki Baines, these two things made Steve feel an indescribable sense of urgency to find him.
In addition to wanting to reunite with his best friend, Baki, Steve also wanted to figure out everything that happened to Baki and bring him out of the fire pit.
Issou didn't dare to say that she completely understood Steve's thoughts, but she could clearly see his attitude towards Baki.
It was precisely for this reason that the black-haired girl, who failed to provide Steve with any useful clues, felt an inexplicable sense of regret.
Hearing Issou's words, Steve, who had already guessed what she was thinking, inexplicably felt his heart soften. Looking at the black-haired girl standing in front of him, he inexplicably had the urge to touch her head.
With this thought in mind, Steve's hand did just that. When he met the black-haired girl's slightly surprised gaze, he cleared his throat. The soft touch under his palm made him linger, but he still restrained himself.
Steve withdrew his hand and said, "It's indeed a little disappointing, but compared to me not knowing anything, the current situation is much better."
Steve didn't dare to imagine. If he didn't know that Winter Soldiers was Baki, would Baki have to work for Hydra like a walking corpse for the rest of his life? Would he do all those things that went against his conscience and morals?
With this in mind, Steve glanced at Issou and said, "So strictly speaking, I should be thanking you, Issou."
If it weren't for Issou, he might still have believed that Baki had died under the snowy cliff decades ago.
"I didn't do anything."
Issou, who had already read the manga/anime, heard Steve's words and shrugged at him, then said, "And with your relationship with Sergeant Barnes, even if I wasn't there, you two would meet again sooner or later."
However, Steve had never read any manga/anime, so when he heard Issou's words, he just thought that he was being kind and comforting, and immediately accepted his kindness with a smile.
Issou, who was just telling the truth, "…???"
While Issou and Steve were talking, Clint and the others on the other side were curiously looking at Loki.
Oh, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Tony and the others also deliberately emphasized one point —
"We're not looking at your hairline, don't worry."
Loki, "…"
There was no need to emphasize this, okay?!
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this was "my Chinese restaurant", how could the second princess of Asgard tolerate being surrounded by a group of lowly ants (Loki's words)?
Even so, his expression did not look any better. He scanned the group of superheroes who were enjoying the show with a cold gaze and said, "It seems that the Atrium has been very peaceful recently, isn't it? That's why you guys have so much free time, right? "
In the past, when Loki came to Earth to cause trouble, it was purely to conquer the world. However, now that he saw the Avengers who had nothing better to do, Loki felt that even if it was not to conquer the world, he had to do something.
At least!
Don't let these guys be so free!
"Wow, is this a threat?"
Tony glanced at Loki with his arms crossed. He then said with a smile, "Bambi, I'll give you a piece of honest advice. Don't think about doing bad things, and your hairline might not recede so quickly."
"Tony!"
Hearing what Iron Man said, before Loki could speak, Thor, the brother of the person involved, could not help but stop him. He said to him in a disapproving tone, "Loki is my younger brother."
Hearing Saul's words, Tony showed a disapproving expression on his face. He said, "Yes, I remember that he is your younger brother. That's why he can return to Asgard safely after coming to our earth to cause trouble again and again."
To be honest, if Loki did not have the identity of the second prince of Asgard, let alone the Avengers, I'm afraid that even S.H.E.L.D. would not let Thor take him back to the prison of Asgard every time he caused trouble.
After all, S.H.E.L.D. has always reserved a place in the prison for Loki.
Hearing what Tony said, Thor could not refute it, because his brother did cause trouble on Earth repeatedly before.
However, Saul could not refute Tony's words. Rocky, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Brother, look at your teammates. They seem to be certain that every time I come to Earth, I must cause trouble. Since that's the case, if I don't do anything, it seems that I'll be letting down their 'expectations'."
When the other Avengers heard Loki's words, they could not help but roll their eyes at him. What a "good" words. Those who did not know better would think that every time Loki came to Earth, he was not sincerely causing trouble, but was coerced by them.
However, the Avengers rolling their eyes at him was nothing to Loki, because the purpose of his words was not for them at all, but for Thor.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Thor remembered that his brother really did not come to Earth to cause trouble this time (the other Avengers: … …). Instead, he came to find his daughter. He immediately said, "Don't think that Loki must have come to Earth to cause trouble just because of what he did before. This time, we misunderstood Loki."
As he said this, Thor thought of the reason why the other Avengers misunderstood Loki. It was because the first thing he said when he went to the Avengers Mansion was —
Loki came to Earth to cause trouble again.
Thinking of this, Thor's whole heart was overwhelmed by guilt and apology to Loki.
The Avengers on the side saw Thor apologizing to Loki and the speechless expressions on their faces were surprisingly consistent. To be honest, even though they knew that Thor was a brother con, every time they saw him being coaxed by Loki with a few words, they were still very doubtful —
Did he often lose his IQ?
As the culprit, Loki always felt that with Thor's IQ, how could he be more qualified to be the king of Asgard than him? But he had to say that whenever this happened, he still particularly liked his brother's IQ.
Just like now —
When the other Avengers dissed him, he used Thor to borrow their strength and let the Avengers feel a wave of Thor's brain-destroying operation.
Looking at Thor, who was convinced that Loki didn't come to Earth to cause trouble but simply to find his daughter, the other Avengers simply couldn't bear to watch. They didn't want to discuss this matter with this silly brother con at all, so they directly changed the topic.
"Who is Issou's mother?"
When they were investigating Issou before, the Avengers' attention was basically focused on Issou. Of course, they also checked about his mother and his blank father, but they didn't find anything suspicious.
But looking at the current situation, it was obvious that the information they found at that time was not accurate or concealed.
Thinking that Loki had previously said that he had seen Issou's mother, Coubé, Tony couldn't help frowning and trying to recall, but in his mind, there really wasn't a woman who looked similar to Issou.
Coubé and Issou, the mother and daughter pair, looked very similar, so if Tony had seen Coubé before, he would definitely feel that Issou looked familiar.
But the fact was, when he first saw Issou, the only thing that came to his mind was her photo from the information.
Because he had no impression of her at all, Tony simply looked at Loki and asked, "What do you mean by what you said before? When did I see Issou's mother? "
Natasha and the others came later, so they didn't know about this at all. Uh, it's also possible that their attention was completely attracted by the fact that Deadpool and Loki suspected to be Issou's father, so they didn't notice this matter.
But now that Tony asked, plus Natasha and the others were curious about Issou's mysterious mother, all of them immediately turned their attention to Loki.
To be honest, what they wanted to know more was — —
Why did Loki admit that Issou was his daughter?
If it turns out that Issou is really Loki's daughter, then they will probably only be curious about how Issou's mother hooked up with Loki, but it turns out that Issou is not Loki's daughter, then …
Emmmm …
Should they be curious about whether Loki was cuckolded?
However, the strange thing is, if Loki is really cuckolded, then as a man, why isn't he angry at all? It's as if he just admitted that Issou was his daughter casually. If it turns out that she is not, then she is not.
Seeing that Tony and the others were all looking at him, Loki suddenly smiled. His green eyes swept over the Avengers present one by one, and then he said, "Not only you, you, haven't you all seen Coubé?"
Loki clearly knew that as long as he gave an answer, everyone present would know the true identity of Coubé, but he wanted to keep them in suspense.
Not only that, but he also sneered, "To be honest, I was worried that if Saul hung out with you guys, he would be influenced by the company he keeps, but I never expected that when I'm with you guys, I actually have to worry about whether Saul's IQ will be lowered by you guys."
In the end, Loki not only glanced at Natasha and the others in disgust, but he also made a "tsk" sound, as if he would not stop until he had earned enough hatred from them.
The other Avengers: "…"
If they can't do anything in "My Chinese Restaurant", then can they pull Loki out of "My Chinese Restaurant"?
#
Issou didn't know if Loki was beaten up by the Avengers led by Tony after he left "My Chinese Restaurant", but considering how much Saul loved his brother, she felt that even if they really wanted to beat up Loki …
Yeah.
Loki probably didn't have to do anything. As long as he showed an aggrieved expression in front of his brother, Saul would directly charge into battle for him.
While Issou was thinking, she heard Clarice and the others coming over to ask her if she still wanted to continue the business. Pietro said, "The afternoon market isn't over yet."
Hearing what they said, Issou wanted to shake her head, but she suddenly realized a problem. "Wait, where's Wade?"
Just now, Issou was talking to Steve about the Winter Soldiers. When Tony and the others were about to leave, Issou didn't notice anything wrong. But after they all left, she realized that other than her, only Clarice and the twins were left in the Chinese Restaurant.
"Did he just leave with the Avengers?"
Hearing Issou's question, Clarice and the others said with uncertainty, "We didn't notice."
"Impossible."
Issou shook her head directly when she heard this. She said, "If it was Charles, Wade might have left with them, but with Steve?"
Having said that, the black-haired girl shook her head directly, denying this possibility.
Hearing Issou's words, the twins also felt that it made sense, but in that case, where did Deadpool go?
"Forget it, I'm just asking."
Because Deadpool has always been a man of action, Issou wasn't too worried about his sudden disappearance. After all, this guy can't die at all. Considering his ability to talk, the black-haired girl felt that she should be worried about the people he meets.
However, Deadpool's sudden disappearance made it impossible for Issou to find him to learn more about her ugly father. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have returned Deadpool's phone to him so quickly.
Deadpool, who had already run away: "…"
Fortunately, he ran away quickly. Otherwise, if his girl saw the video of her father before he was sliced, he would have failed.
Deadpool felt that he was really witty. He ran away before Issou could react, and then the next time he went back to her, she would ask him for the video and photos. He would say that he had restored the factory settings and everything was gone.
Uh.
At this moment, Deadpool, who was feeling smug, seemed to have forgotten — —
He!
Totally!
He directly stuffed the phone into his fourth-dimensional pocket!
Deadpool: "…???"
It seems so.
Back to the topic, because of Deadpool's sudden disappearance, Issou, who couldn't find him to learn more about her ugly father, simply continued to open the restaurant. Anyway, she had nothing to do.
It's just that the black-haired girl didn't expect that just when she asked Pietro to take down the "Closed" sign, Lorna pushed the door and came in.
"Wow, what's going on?"
Lorna originally thought that if she came here at this time, it would definitely be crowded, but who knew that before she entered the door, she felt that "My Chinese Restaurant" was deserted. Just …
Lorna glanced at the expressions on Issou's faces, and it didn't look like something bad had happened.
"Lorna? Why are you here? "
Seeing her friend coming to the door, Issou couldn't help but smile. Seeing that it was not John and Marcus behind her, but two unfamiliar faces, she asked a little curiously, "Who are these two?"
"The two mutants I just met."
Lorna took a step aside, and then introduced them to Issou, "Lauren Straker, Andy Straker, a pair of mutant siblings."
Hearing Lorna's words, the first to react was Wanda and Pietro, the twins: "Isn't that the same as us?"
"Pretty much, but they're not twins."
Lorna answered the twins' question, and then introduced Issou and the others to the siblings who came with her.
After they exchanged names, Andy glanced at Issou and asked, "Is this a Chinese restaurant for mutants?"
"Kind of."
Issou smiled, "Except for me, everyone here is a mutant."
Speaking of this, the black-haired girl also felt that it was a coincidence that the three waiters she hired were all mutants.
"Have a seat first."
Lorna said to the Straker siblings, and then pulled Issou to the side. "Issou, I want to ask you for a favor."
"What is it?"
Issou looked at Lorna, and the latter pointed at Lauren and Andy, then said, "Help me send them to Academy X, or you can help me contact Professor X."
Hearing Lorna's words, Issou was a little confused. He said, "I can help, but Lorna, why don't you do it yourself?"
Whether it was sending the Straker siblings to Academy X, or contacting Charles, could she not do it?
"It's a little complicated."
Lorna crossed her arms, and a slightly anxious expression appeared on her beautiful face. She said, "I don't know why the Brotherhood suddenly targeted us recently. The siblings didn't join us, and if we don't hand them over to Academy X, they might be targeted by the Brotherhood as well."
Issou heard Lorna's words and nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a man wearing dark purple armor and a cloak landing outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Issou: "…"
Uh.
