The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

At 9 o'clock this morning, the Stark sisters received a 12th birthday gift from Mexico from Steve Rogers, a pair of inner core devices from an alien spaceship, the core of which is made of some kind of transparent ore Yes, it looks bright and dazzling.In addition to this, they also received a lot of strange novelties, superheroes and wizards from different fields.

Two little girls are eating lunch in the cafeteria at the Avengers base, eating as much as their mother.

Steve came to the restaurant at the base after taking a shower. He saw Lily and Maria sitting at both ends of a uniquely decorated table and chairs. .The scene in front of him surprised and sympathized with Steve. There was no one around the girls, including their parents, as if they were a pair of abandoned orphans.

Steve stepped forward, and he looked at the huge restaurant. In the hall controlled by the self-service electronic system, there were only two "Mark" armored robots walking around. On the heads of the robots were wearing small pointed hats for birthday parties. The chest of the reactor emits a pink light.The music in the hall played a birthday song, and Steve wasn't sure how many times the song had been played, but he didn't feel any warmth in the sound of the music.

"Uncle Rogers!" Maria turned her head, with a touching smile on her flushed face, "Thank you for the gift, we like it very much!"

"I'm glad you like it, Maria, happy birthday, and you too, Lily." Steve tugged at the collar of his clothes, and stepped forward, "Your birthday party is a bit deserted, what about the others?"

"You mean a party?" Maria waved a fork in front of Steve, "The party hasn't started yet, and it's just a warm-up show. Mom and Dad will definitely surprise us at 8 pm."

Steve thought for a while and said, "Since it's a surprise, they shouldn't have told you."

The Stark sisters are the most popular mascots of the Avengers base. Few people can resist the charm of the girls. Their parents obviously raised them well, and even the occasional mischief is not uncomfortable.

"Nobody told us, it's obvious, isn't it?" Maria raised her chin proudly, her expression very much like her father's, "Everyone left the base at the same time, it was the same last year, including the year before, So I boldly guess that the surprise must be at night."

"It's because you are too smart, so there must be no birthday surprise tonight." Lily muttered, "Maria always likes to expose adults' lies, and they don't think it's fun."

"It's impossible." Maria said angrily, "At least Loki thinks it's fun."

Steve said: "So it looks like I'm the only one who hasn't been notified, or I shouldn't have appeared in front of you?"

Maria said: "Uncle Barnes said that you left the base a few days ago, so I guess they thought it was impossible for you to come back at this time." The little girl cut a piece of strawberry flavor for Steve with a smile on her face. Butter cake.

"Thanks, Maria." Steve smiled and took the plate.

Although Lily and Maria are twins, they can be easily distinguished. Lily has straight hair and Maria has curly hair. In addition, their looks are also obviously different. Lily looks more like a mother, with few obvious expressions on her face.The two sisters are not like Fred and George as children (including growing up), and everyone who knows them will not mistake the Stark sisters.

"Did Uncle Barnes really kill grandparents?" Lily said suddenly, with a cautious tone.

Steve took a bite of the cake, still smiling and replied: "Yes." Steve didn't know where Lily heard about it, he thought it was impossible for Stark and Ma Linglong to be alive when the child was still alive. Introduce them to dark truths at a young age.But Steve never shied away, even in front of the children, he was honest and sincere, "I'm sorry, kids, it's okay if you don't like Bucky anymore."

"I heard that you and Dad fought a lot because of this?" Maria asked curiously.

Lily is a natural dementor. She can easily read other people's inner thoughts. Only Ma Linglong, Stark and Snape know this. Her ability was revealed at the age of 11 come out.Snape had taught Lily how to control her abilities, and the little girl could do well now, except that occasionally, when she was curious, she couldn't help eavesdropping on the adults' secrets.

"So to speak, but it turned out to be delightful," Steve replied.

"Actually." Maria said, "If you and Dad fight again next time, we will choose to stand by your side."

Steve laughs, "I'm honored, but your dad will be sad about it."

"No way," Maria pouted, "a week ago Dad drew a chalk line at least 5 yards above the door of his studio and he warned us not to do it from 9am to 9pm Over that line, if you want to play, go to Mommy's lab."

"But daddy dominates mommy every day, and we can't get close to any of them at all," Lily complained, "especially at night, when they don't have any clothes on."

Steve finished the cake quickly, pretending not to understand the meaning of the second half of the sentence: "But I heard that Tony dotes on you very much, I guess he just needs a little private space, after all Tony is a scientist, he has a lot to do Finished, you are also 12 years old, it is impossible for him to pay attention to your movements all the time."

"Maybe we're not biological?" Lily said on a whim.

"No, you're definitely their kids, I swear," Steve said with a smirk.

"But, but..." Lily glanced at Maria, "Mom said we were actually given away by Dad buying a Lamborghini."

"Buy one get one free," Maria said.

"That was just a joke," Steve said, and he frowned, "Although the joke is a bit inappropriate."

"Mom is angry, I think," Maria said. "That's what she says when she's angry, and she says we're two bums that came out of the sink."

"Maybe neither Mom nor Dad will come to the party tonight," Lily said sadly.

"No, Tony and Linglong love you very much, no matter what you have done, they are willing to choose to forgive." Steve asked with some uncertainty, "So, what did you do to make mom angry?" In my impression, Ma Linglong seldom got really angry with children, but Stark, although he doted on children very much, his temper was not as stable as Lily and Maria.

"At seven o'clock this morning," Maria said, "we turned Daddy into a cat."

"An orange Munchkin (short-legged cat)," Lily added. "It's a rare breed, I'm sure, and we thought Dad would praise us."

Steve didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then where are they now?"

"Mum put Daddy in a cat box and took him to Hogwarts to find Severus," said the two children in unison.

That night, Ma Linglong and Stark were really absent from their daughters' birthday party. Even so, the party was very lively. Everyone thought that the Stark couple probably traveled to some exciting place again, which is common thing.And no one except Steve knew how ridiculous Stark's situation was.

When the Stark sisters found Loki, he was arguing with Thor. The content of the dispute seemed to be related to the heir to the throne. Thor wanted Loki to lead the Asgardians, but Loki said that only a fool would be willing. be king.

"Loki, we did it your way, but mom and dad are very unhappy." Maria walked in front of Rocky, the difference in their height forced Maria to lift her neck very hard to see Loki's chest.

"Oh." Loki dragged his voice meaningfully. He squatted down and put one knee on the ground, trying to keep eye level with Maria. "Didn't Tony succeed in becoming a breed cat?"

"Yes, the transforming water worked right away," Maria said. "Papa turned into a very cute cat, but he didn't seem to like it very much."

"My lord's mood is so unpredictable sometimes, my princess, maybe he is just shy." Loki stretched out his slender fingers and stroked Maria's hair, "But at least you succeeded, and they will be proud of you afterwards of."

"Really?" Lily asked.

"I guess." Loki said irresponsibly, "Well, tell me, what kind of cat did Tony become?"

"Munchkin cat." Maria said, "It's so cute."

"I really, can't wait to see your results." Loki probably wanted to laugh, but he just curled his lips slightly, showing elegance.He should be able to guess why Stark was angry, Stark didn't want to see himself short-handed and short-footed.

Loki did it on purpose, of course, deliberately pointing the Stark sisters in the wrong direction.

A long time ago, Stark was really worried that he could not become a breed cat after drinking the transformation water. Lily heard her father's voice, and they really wanted to do something for him.So, Lily and Maria approached Loki for his advice, and they hoped that they could use magic to turn their father into a beautiful and handsome breed cat.

Although the girls' ideas are pure, Loki has other purposes. He "with good intentions" provided some help for the girls, and he gave them rare potions and medicines, but he didn't really think about these materials Whether it would have negative side effects on Stark himself, Loki just thought it would be fun to be able to turn Stark into other animals, and he was definitely more excited to have Stark's daughter do it.

"But Mom is angry." Lily said, "She can't make an antidote to make Dad come back, and we don't know how to make an antidote."

"It's a pity, my girl." Loki pretended to be worried, "You probably didn't tell mom that I provided you with the medicine stone?"

"No." Lily said, "We swore we would never tell anyone, including mom and dad."

"Good boy." Loki smiled.

"Loki, will Dad never change back?" Maria asked, "You must know the way, right, tell us?"

"Hmm..." Loki thought for a moment, "Unfortunately, my princesses, I don't know, and I'm not a mage of the earth." He knew, of course Loki knew how to solve the problem of deformation. It's not hard at all to say, "You should trust your mother, that she can do it, and your godfather."

"But, how can we cheer them up?" Maria asked. She seemed to think that Loki was an expert in coaxing people, because they could always see Loki cheating on Thor, but never The elation of revenge.

"Let me think about it." Loki said, "Maybe you can prepare something like dried fish, and catnip is also good."

"Is it really useful?" Lily asked dubiously.

"Cats love this," Loki assured, with a sly look in his eyes. "Or, you can consult the AI, which will tell you how to please a cat."
