159: Tony's Doubt

Gwen's House

Tonight marked a rare occasion where the family gathered for dinner due to George's return. 

After the meal, George engaged in a conversation with Gwen and her mother about recent events. 

As time passed, it was too late.

"Gwen, go take a shower first," George advised.

"Sure, Dad. I'll go freshen up," Gwen nodded, rising from the table.

George added a reminder, "Remember to take off your watch when you shower."

He gestured towards his wrist, drawing Gwen's attention to his liquid battle suit cleverly disguised as a watch.

"Got it, Dad," Gwen affirmed, complying with her father's request.

Observing this exchange, Gwen's mother rolled her eyes at George, silently expressing her disagreement with his old-fashioned principles.

Noticing his wife's disapproval, George felt he might have been too strict. 

Trying to ease the tension, he said, "Give it to me, Gwen. You go to the bathroom first, and I'll help you take this to your room."

"No need, Mom. I just leave it here."

"I'll put it on when I get out," Gwen replied, placing the watch on the table and heading towards the bathroom.

As the bathroom door closed, George discreetly picked up the watch, glancing around cautiously. 

Gwen's mother, disapprovingly, questioned, "What are you doing?"

"Examining my daughter's actions is like gathering evidence." 

George responded instinctively. Realizing how this sounded, he quickly added, "This does seem like evidence."

Meeting his wife's disapproving gaze, George coughed awkwardly, attempting to explain, "Have you ever seen her wear a watch before?"

"No," Gwen's mother shook her head.

George continued, "She's suddenly wearing a watch now, so it doesn't mean that the watch was probably given by someone else."

Gwen's mother connected the dots, "Andrew Wilson!"

Grabbing the watch from George's hand, she examined it and nodded in approval, "It's a good watch. At least Andrew knows how to do things, unlike some people who come back empty-handed."

George, taken aback, regretted making a fuss about the watch.

"Humph! I'll help my daughter get back to the room," Gwen's mother declared, putting the watch away and heading towards the bathroom door. 

She reassured Gwen, "I'll put your watch on the table in your room. Take care."

"Okay, Mom," Gwen responded from the bathroom.

Gwen, who was bathed in the water, slowly said, "I wonder if Cousin Anna is back in New York?

"Wait a minute to ask the red queen."

At the same time.

A high-end business car was parked in the Thirteenth Block, below the apartment where Andrew used to live.

The driver was none other than Tony's driver, Happy Hogan.

After Happy stopped the car, he determined the address that Anna had told her. He had been here before.

"Miss Anna, take a look at this place."

In the back seat, Anna lowered the window to look at the apartment building in front of her, and nodded: "This is it."

"What a coincidence, I have a friend who also lives here."

The friend in Happy's mouth is naturally Andrew.

The two were on the way to Tony's dinner last time, but they had a good conversation.

Anna smiled and nodded, and said, "This is my friend's old house."

"He doesn't live here now. I happened to have the key, so I came here to stay for one night."

"We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

Happy nodded, and then very skillfully handed out a business card of his own: "My name is Happy Hogan."

"If you need anything tomorrow, you can always call me."

Anna took the business card very politely, thanked her, and got out of the car.

Looking at the familiar apartment in front of her, even Anna herself didn't understand why she came back here.

Instead of going to Andrew's new home.

Although he experienced the Magneto incident last time, he was later requisitioned by the police and ended. Andrew still asked someone to clean it up again.

Although it has been unoccupied for a while, the house is kept clean and tidy.

After opening the door and entering Andrew's house, Anna felt a sense of security in her heart for no reason.

"Andrew, Gwen."

"See you tomorrow."

Back in the room, Anna fell asleep, even though she didn't understand why she was so tired.

In short, there is only one thought in her heart now, and that is to have a good rest.

"Did cousin Anna live in the Thirteenth Block?"

After taking a shower, Gwen wiped his hair in front of the computer and listened to the report of the Red Queen and didn't feel anything wrong.

After all, there is no one in Andrew's new home.

And Anna only had the key to the Thirteenth Block.

In any case, at least Anna is now back in New York safely and living in Andrew's house.

That means safety.

After drying her hair, Gwen also stretched, and a sense of tiredness struck.

After yawning, Gwen said sleepily, "Let's find Cousin Anna after school tomorrow."

"Go to sleep now."

"Red Queen, good night."

"Pikachu, good night."

"Miss Gwen good night~"

"Pika...pi..."

Gwen closed the computer, glanced at the watch on the desktop, and thought about getting up tomorrow morning and wearing it again,

She lay down on his bed and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D battleship.

Tony stood on the podium and put the cracked device under the main computer while no one was looking.

Then follow Dr. Banner to study how to track the Tesseract.

At the same time, he was taken to the laboratory, and there was a mind scepter captured from Loki.

Banner put the psychological scepter on the test bed.

The blue gem at the top of the mind scepter, the faint blue light flickers on and off like Roar sucks.

Banner, who was operating the test equipment, slowly felt a little uncomfortable.

Tony, who was operating the program, also felt that something was wrong.

"Dr. Banner."

"Um?"

Banner looked at Tony curiously.

Tony continued: "Have you ever felt that this place..."

"A little depressing!"

Tony, who couldn't think of an adjective, could only say this.

Banner smiled: "Yes, after all, this is the S.H.I.E.L.D., a secret organization."

"It's weird not to be depressed."

Tony nodded as if it made sense.

Then he stopped thinking about it and waited for J.A.R.V.I.S to crack S.H.I.E.L.D's internal system while operating.

In his opinion, the Tesseract will be taken away by Loki, and S.H.I.E.L.D. must have an unshirkable responsibility in this regard.

Because Tony had already discovered it in Howard's notes, as long as he didn't specifically activate Tesseract, it wouldn't activate automatically.

So Tony felt that it must be what S.H.I.E.L.D did with Tesseract that would cause Loki to successfully teleport.

Here, Rogers also walked in...
