Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 60 The Pasteur Building

Colt stood in front of the steps and looked up at the towering building in front of him.

Unlike the modern steel bar style of another iconic Stark Building not far away, the basic structure of the Pasteur Building, like most buildings in New York City, belongs to the architectural style of the 60s and [-]s of the last century. However, on the top floor of the building, it has transformed into a metal style full of technology.

Taking a deep breath, he followed the crowd into the hall.

Walking to the front desk, looking at the front desk with a formulaic smile, Colt also smiled back: "Hi, I need to get my passport."

"Okay, may I have your name?" the front desk lady asked very skillfully.

"Colt Carr."

"Hello, I found it. Excuse me...go to the top floor?" The front desk lady couldn't help being stunned when she saw the resident who issued the ID card for Colt.

"Yes." Colt noticed the pause in the other's tone, but he chose to ignore it.

"Okay, here is your long-term pass." The front desk lady put a card on the table with both hands, and then pointed to the checkpoint at the entrance, "Need me to show you how to use it?"

Colt looked at the flow of people, and after seeing how others passed, he quickly understood how to use the pass to enter the hall.

"Thank you, no need." He smiled and declined the other party.

Go to the checkpoint, scan the pass in the detection area, and the glass door in front of you opens.

"There are so many people." Seeing the people queuing up in front of the elevator, Colt said with emotion, "It seems that there are quite a lot of people working overtime on weekends here."

The Pasteur Building is a dual-use building. The tenants of the building are both living and renting as office space. But looking at the elevators that have a tendency to line up in front of them, it is obvious that this is not just the scale that residents can form. up.

"I don't know if it's because there are Fantastic Four living here, which caused an additional advertising effect and attracted more people." While queuing up, he diverged his thoughts, "In this way, being able to communicate with superheroes Living in a building is indeed an honor in some ways?"

"But this also means that you are more likely to be affected by various battles." After thinking about it, he felt that those who lived in the building seemed a little unlucky again.

"So, no matter where the elevator is, it's the same as long as there are too many people." Colt was crowded into the corner of the elevator, "like a can of sardines, mixed with various perfumes, sweat and various body odors."

However, fortunately, the speed of the elevator was very fast, and as the floor went up, the space in the elevator gradually became looser.

Before the top floor, when the last passenger left, he gave Colt a strange look before he left the elevator.

The elevator doors opened, and Colt walked into the aisle, looking curiously at the surrounding decorations.

"This way." A familiar voice sounded from the other side of the aisle, and Colt turned around and saw the familiar blond girl.

He walked over quickly.

"Is the Pasteur Building not bad?" the girl said.

"Very good." Colt said, he thought for a while, and added, "It's just that there are too many people in the elevator."

"Oh, a company downstairs has a celebration today, so there are more people here than usual." Valeria said.

"Watching everyone in the elevator leave one by one, and I'm the only one left to reach the top floor, always has a weird feeling." Colt said, "It's like I'm already an abnormal person."

"It's good to get used to it." Valeria said, "When they get used to it, at least when you get into the elevator, they will be less likely to squeeze beside you."

The two chatted and soon came to the living room.

A frivolous whistle sounded, and Colt saw a blond man on the sofa smiling playfully at him: "In a blink of an eye, Xiaowa brought her boyfriend home."

"Not a boyfriend." Valeria looked at the man calmly, "How many times do you need me to emphasize, Uncle Johnny."

"Not yet or not in the future?" Johnny asked with a teasing smile, then got up and walked to Colt.

Before Colt could say hello, a strong burning sensation came from his side, which made him jump back instinctively.

"Johnny!" An angry girl came from the other side of the living room, and a woman who looked somewhat similar to Valeria waved her hand, stuffed Johnny back on the sofa and walked over with a smile.

"Mom." Valeria called.

Susan nodded, then looked at Colt with a smile, "Hello, you can call me Susan."

"Hello, Susan." Colt greeted each other quickly.

"It's Johnny's ability just now. He doesn't have any malicious intentions. He just likes to make meaningless pranks like a child." Susan glanced at Johnny sitting on the sofa with dissatisfaction and explained.

"Sister, it's just a joke." Johnny muttered dissatisfied.

"He's just an ordinary person. If your temperature is too high, he will be burned!" Susan taught.

"I know how to measure, I just want to show my ability." Johnny whispered, after all, he still didn't dare to confront his sister head-on.

As a long-established superhero, Colt is still very clear about the abilities of the Fantastic Four. Although he was slightly disappointed that he didn't see the legendary "stone man" who could wrestle with the Hulk, he still didn't ask. After all, I will come to practice in the future, there is always a chance, there is no need to ask other people's privacy.

"Where's Xiaofu?" Valeria asked her mother, remembering something.

"Him? It seems that I played games too late last night and haven't gotten up yet." Susan frowned and glanced at the closed door, then she turned to look at Colt with a smile, "Would you like some egg rolls? "

"Ah, thank you, no need, I've already had breakfast." Colt replied quickly.

"We can come over and eat together next time." Susan replied, "Bring one for Reed."

Valeria skillfully picked up the plate, motioned for Colt to follow her, and walked up the stairs.

Not long after the two went upstairs, a door opened, and a huge head poked out.

"Ben, what are you afraid of?" Johnny turned his head and saw Ben spying on him, and said amusedly.

"He went up?" asked Ben.

"You won't scare him." Susan put the breakfast on the table and motioned for Ben to come out, "Besides, you can't avoid him forever, you will meet sooner or later."

"It's always good to give him some time to adapt." Ben took a sip of water from his own large glass.

"By the way, speaking of this." Johnny took out a $10 bill and put it on the table, and then said mysteriously, "I guess 30 minutes."

"No way, after all, he is the candidate personally determined by Reed." Ben said hesitantly, he thought for a while, then took out 10 dollars and put it on the table, "One hour."

"Sister?" Johnny turned to look at Susan who was squeezing juice in the kitchen.

"Not interested in."

"$20, they will get along very well." A voice sounded abruptly, and Franklin appeared out of thin air, and slapped a $20 bill on the table.
