Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 63 Family Life
"Good food." Franklin threw the handle aside.

"Didn't you win?" Colt watched himself being beaten by Franklin on the screen.

"That's not interesting." Franklin said, "It's only fun if you go back and forth. You just stand there like a wooden stake and let me hit it. What's the point?"

"I didn't know how to play." Colt felt innocent, "I didn't know how to play, and didn't you force me to play?"

"You don't usually play games?" Franklin turned his head suspiciously.

"Play." Colt said, "It's just that I generally prefer to play business or strategy games, which don't require hand speed, just use your brain."

"No, this kind of fighting game requires brains, how to combo, and reaction speed, predicting the enemy's movements, isn't this what you are best at?" Franklin asked.

"The brain can understand, but the hands can't keep up."

"..."

……

Colt changed his clothes and walked into the laboratory.

"Are you done?" Valeria asked, raising her head.

"Yeah." Colt said as he walked to his seat and turned on the monitor, "I'm too good-for-nothing, so he let me in because he thought it was boring."

Reed's teaching method can be said to be quite simple and rude. He didn't bother Colt during the whole afternoon. In the few exchanges between the two, Colt went to him to ask him.

Obviously, from a certain point of view, Reed doesn't care about Colt's research progress. In other words, he is sure that even if he doesn't care, Colt will advance the research progress by himself.

……

"I should go back." Colt glanced at the time and said to Reed who was still immersed in the research.

"Oh, it's already night." Only then did Reed notice that a long time had passed.

"It's almost time for dinner, so I'm going down too, otherwise my mother will come up to call for someone." Valeria also raised her head and said with a pursed mouth. There was no progress all afternoon, and she was obviously a little reluctant to go now. End research.

But after all, she was still under the control of Susan, and she couldn't almost live in the laboratory like Reed, so she could only suspend the experiment first and go downstairs with Colt.

"Oh, I'm just going to call you." Susan saw the two coming down, but she didn't ask Reed at all.

"Then I'll go back first." Colt said goodbye politely.

"Do you want to stay for dinner?" asked Susan.

"Thank you, no need." He glanced at the time, "I told my family about the approximate time to go home. If it exceeds too much, my mother may be very nervous. After all, before..."

"Okay, I get it." Susan didn't care, "Be careful on the road."

Glancing at the sofa, Franklin was gone. Thinking about the other party's ability, Colt hoped that he would stay in the building quietly, otherwise the follow-up would definitely be a mess.

Johnny has already returned, and he doesn't know who he has an appointment with in the afternoon, and he is currently getting juice out of the refrigerator.

Ben was still not there, and Colt suspected that the other party was deliberately avoiding him. He didn't know why, but he didn't ask. This kind of thing will naturally become clear in the future.

"You don't need me to see you off?" Valeria looked at Colt who was walking to the door, and asked.

"No, I'll go down by myself." He replied, "Is it still time for me to come tomorrow?"

"Basically, you can arrange it yourself." Valeria didn't care. "Even if you don't come anyway, I don't think Dad will realize it."

Colt smiled, said goodbye to the other party, and turned to the elevator.

"He's pretty good." Susan said with a smile, "At least he's more normal than Reed. By the way, what project did he choose?"

"Solar wind."

……

After swiping his card to leave the Pasteur Building, Colt looked up at the top floor of the building, feeling a strange feeling.

Although I know very well that this is a group of superheroes, um, the word superhero is actually not appropriate, it should be said that this is a group of people with super powers.Although the Fantastic Four are not like the Avengers, they are a group whose purpose is to protect the world and fight against crime. More often, they are more like scientists and adventurers. However, in this day's contact, Colt Think they're just a normal family, um, minus Reed.

Compared with the life of the Avenger who is always in a state of tension and constantly facing various crises and challenges, he actually prefers this kind of calm research life.Although he does not reject using his ability to do some good things within his ability, it does not mean that he wants this to become the main theme of his life.

"It's very interesting." Colt thought, "In this way, even people with superpowers don't have to be so tired."

……

"Recently, the New York City Attorney's Office formally charged Judy Mays, a high school teenager who brutally murdered her entire family.

"Judy Gomez, a 17-year-old girl, brutally shot and killed her parents and younger brother at her home in Queens on the evening of the 11th of this month.

"When the police arrived and apprehended her, she confessed to her crime.

"'This is a homicide of an extremely bad nature.' In the news, the prosecutor was being interviewed by reporters. The gray-haired female prosecutor said firmly, 'I will do my best to make her get the punishment she deserves. .'"

"What's going on here?" Colt looked at the scene on the news, which still looked abnormally bloody even though it was mosaiced, and turned to ask his parents.

"You were..." his father Roy said at the beginning, seeming to think of something, and then changed his words, "At the beginning of the month, this girl suddenly shot and killed her whole family for some reason. The report said that it was because her parents were too strict. Yan, don't let her do anything, it seems that because of her boyfriend, she suddenly fell out with her family, and then..."

"Oh, it's so miserable. I read the news that this girl usually has good grades in school and is very popular with her classmates. Who knew it would become like this." Jenny sat back on the table with the food, "Okay, let's change." Taiwan bar, don’t look at these while eating.”

Roy also seemed to agree, he changed the stage casually, and then chose a football game that was being broadcast live: "Lasagne again?"

"What? Is there a problem?" Jenny looked up at her husband.

"It's okay, it's okay, eat quickly, I'm starving to death." Roy took a spoon and made a plate for himself from the baking tray.

"If you have a girl you like, don't do anything stupid." Jenny seemed to be still thinking about the case just now, and she looked at Colt while eating and mentioned again.

"I know." Colt lowered his head to eat, but frowned and didn't know what he was thinking.
