Chapter 44 Party

On Saturday night, celebrities from all walks of life gathered in the Stark Building.

As the initiator of the party, the Avengers have the obligation to invite some outsiders to the party.

However, Saul has no relatives on earth, and only one girlfriend, Jane Foster, has run away, so he has not been able to contact anyone.

Because Natasha and Clint are agents, it is not easy to invite other agents to come over.

Bruce Banner was also the enemy of the world before, and his social contacts were almost zero.

Therefore, it is Steve Roger, Stoke and Tony Stark who are responsible for the invitation to the outside world.

Steve invites some retired soldiers, as well as his old friend Sam the Falcon.

Tony Stark, on the other hand, was sprouting his old ways, and he invited some political partners and many celebrity models.

...

Downstairs in the brightly lit Stark Building.

A taxi stopped in front of the building.

Kewen gave the money and walked out of the taxi.

"I just found……"

Natasha, who came down to greet her, stepped forward with a smile.

She looked at Kewen's shirt and trousers first, and then she said, "A capitalist your age doesn't even have a car?"

"There's no need to run around." Kewen spread his hands: "And you know, if I want to go somewhere, there is a more convenient way."

Natasha nodded, then took Cowen's arm and led the way into the building.

At the same time, she said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I ignored more than this before, and now I realize that there are many abnormalities in you."

"What else?" Cowan asked casually.

"Everything that a normal man likes has no trace of it in you."

Natasha turned her head to look up at Kewen and asked, "Is it because of your status? Sports cars, famous watches, and even clothing, etc. You don't even have jewelry on your body. As for women?"

Looking at Kewen again, Natasha showed a look of disgust like a joke: "I am such a beautiful woman, and I have never seen you express anything."

"So when you first met, the 'playboy character' you added to yourself was just to deceive people?"

What can Cowen say?

Is it said that he has no need for material things, so he doesn't care about those foreign things at all?

If he said that, it seemed that he was too aloof.

As for women?

The strangers were okay, but Natasha was his friend now.

He hasn't reached that point yet, so naturally he won't be able to make further progress, lest the friendship between the two sides deteriorate, and he won't even have to be friends.

For all these reasons, Kewen couldn't explain anything, so he could only perfunctory with the excuse of "diligent study".

Natasha didn't take it to heart at first, and the joke was more of a joke.

So after getting Kewen's perfunctory excuse, she changed the subject.

"By the way, Kewen." Natasha reminded: "After going up for a while, remember to ask for a gentleman."

"What's wrong?" Cowan asked in confusion.

"That Zhao Helen." Natasha explained, "the inventor of the 'cradle of life', she has a lot of opinions on you."

"So..." Kewen said helplessly, "Who sold me?"

"Who else could it be?" Natasha curled her lips: "Stark, I don't know if he is kind."

"In short, he took your theory and told Zhao Hailun that he could provide funds to allow Zhao Hailun to continue to develop the 'cradle of life'. It is best to eliminate the hidden danger of cancer."

"Then why does Zhao Hailun have an opinion on me?" Kewen was puzzled: "She doesn't agree with my theory?"

"That's not it."

Natasha nodded in response to a person who greeted her, and then continued: "She agrees, but she feels that she has worked hard, but the results are completely rejected by you. It is estimated that she is respectful to you. hate it."

"Of course, it may be a little more 'hate'.

"

Natasha smiled and pressed the elevator button to open the exclusive elevator.

After entering the elevator, she continued: "At the beginning, Zhao Hailun said that she wanted to ask you for advice. She said it a little bit, so you may have to face an 'invitation battle' after you go up."

Kewen disagreed: "Then I'll just hide. She is a researcher of cell technology. Does she still want to ask me for medical advice? Who has the spare time to pay attention to her?"

Looking a little disdainful, Kewen said with contempt: "The island country is at least decent in terms of face. After learning Chinese medicine, they candidly explained the origin and clearly stated that 'medicine' was 'Kambo medicine'."

"But what about their country? Besides plagiarism and stealing concepts, what else would they do?"

Hearing this, Natasha seemed to know Kewen for the first time.

She looked at Kewen in amazement, and then smiled: "So angry?"

Kewen waved his hand: "It's really disgusting."

"All right……"

Natasha closed her smile and nodded, "Then you can follow me for a while."

While speaking, the elevator had reached the top floor of the building, and the metal doors were opened to both sides.

The more dynamic music immediately poured into Kewen's ears, and all kinds of people were enjoying the party in the leisure hall, or twisting their bodies to sway gently with the music, or gathering in twos and threes to laugh and talk.

"Hey! Kewen!"

Clint Barton, who was watching Liulu Road, spotted Kewen for the first time, and immediately raised his arms to say hello from a distance.

Kewen smiled at the other party, and his eyes swept over the oriental woman beside Crete.

"Beside Clint is Zhao Helen."

Natasha reminded in a low voice, and then continued to whisper, "Follow me and leave it to me."

Kewen nodded slightly and followed Natasha towards Clint and Helen Zhao.

When he came to the front, Clint had happily stood up from the sofa booth.

He came out and hugged Kewen, and said with a laugh, "It's rare that you can get out of the hospital. You must relax tonight."

Cowen smiled and nodded.

"Dr. Cowan Quinn."

After Kewen and Clint separated, Zhao Helen immediately stretched out his hand: "Hello, I have long admired the name, I am Helen Zhao."

"Hello." Kewen said lukewarmly.

"You refute the theory of the 'cradle of life', and I'm so overwhelmed!"

Zhao Hailun's smile seemed a bit provocative: "I have the fate to meet you at this moment, may I ask you for more advice?"

"Zhao."

Without waiting for Kewen to respond, Natasha immediately took Kewen's arm.

She smiled and said, "I don't know if I can refuse for Kewen?"

"Miss Romanov?" Zhao Hailun was very surprised.

Natasha squeezed Kewen's arms closer to the gap between the two peaks, and then smiled shyly: "It's party time, Kewen finally came out of the hospital to participate, so we..."

I don't know how Natasha's acting skills are tempered.

When she said this, there was a hint of redness on her cheeks, and her eyes also showed a complex look of dodging and anticipation.

Zhao Hailun is also a genius, not the kind who studies hard.

So she understood Natasha's expression.

Although she was a little unwilling, she could only politely smile and nod, and said, "I wish you all the best tonight."

"thanks!"

Natasha showed a grateful look, and laughed and joked: "Zhao, you should do your best, Saul is over there, you were not..."

"Please let me go!" Zhao Hailun was really shy, she hurriedly interrupted: "Please don't say it, I, I was just joking before..."

"Okay." Natasha tilted her head and smiled and encouraged: "Anyway, you should do your best. I'll take Kewen to other places first."

"Good, good!"

Zhao Hailun is shy to patronize, why do you ask Kewen for advice? Completely forgotten by her.

Natasha smiled again, and gave Clint a quick glance at the dazed one, and then walked towards the bar with Kewen in his arms.

Clint and Natasha had a tacit understanding, and after getting the gesture, he immediately understood everything.

He shook his head speechlessly, then he cooperated with a smile, looking for a topic to help drag Zhao Hailun in place, so that Zhao Hailun had no chance to disturb Kewen.

...

On the other side, Natasha took Cowen for a walk, greeted several other Avengers, and then the two came to the bar.

Natasha lifted the horizontal board and walked into the bar, raised her chin at the wine cabinet and asked, "Do you want to drink today?"

"Fine."

Kewen sat on the bar chair, nodded and said, "It's the same."

"learn."

Natasha turned to face the wine cabinet and said while looking for a suitable wine: "High taste, low alcohol..."

Soon there was abdominal eucalyptus, so Natasha took out a few bottles of wine from the wine cabinet and prepared it skillfully.

Not long after, a tall and slender woman came to the bar and interrupted Natasha and Kewen's chat.

"Hi Natasha."

A mature woman in a red dress greeted with a smile.

Then she looked at Cowen and smiled: "You must be Dr. Cowen Quinn, right? Natasha and Clint praised you a lot, and I finally had the honor to meet you today."

Reaching out: "Maria Hill, now works in the personnel department of this building."

"Hello." Kewen reached out and shook hands.

"Hill used to be the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D." Natasha introduced at the bar: "I saved Captain Rogers and me back then, otherwise we would be controlled by Hydra."

"Hello!" Kewen said hello again, with a little more kindness in his expression: "Thank you for your help to Natasha."

"Interesting attitude..."

Hill looked at Natasha, with a hint of ridicule in his smile: "Am I disturbing you?"

"Do not make jokes."

Natasha's smile was a little stiff, she shrugged her shoulders to Maria Hill: "You know, how is it possible for me."

"Perhaps nothing is impossible."

A voice sounded not far away, and Steve Rogers walked over with a black man.

"Feel sorry."

Coming to the bar, Steve smiled apologetically to everyone: "I overheard your chat just now."

Everyone smiled indifferently.

Seeing this, Steve continued: "I think you guys are pretty good, I mean Romanoff and Dr. Quinn."

This made Natasha smile away from her eyes and hide her sullenness with an embarrassed expression.

Kewen also showed an embarrassed look at the right time.

Steve didn't seem to notice anything, and he said to Cowan softly, "Romanoff is a great teammate, but she doesn't like to open up very much."

"But every time she confronts Dr. Quinn, she seems to be very open and real."

"We are good friends!" Natasha explained immediately.

"Is it?"

Steve pursed his lips and smiled, he looked at Natasha, and then persuaded: "Maybe in the whole world, I am the person who will miss the opportunity the most, so don't miss it."

Natasha gave a forced and perfunctory smile.

Steve raised his eyebrows, grabbed a glass of wine from the bar, and changed the subject.

He pointed to the black man beside him and introduced to Cowen, "This is Sam Wilson, a good friend of mine."

"This is Dr. Cowan Quinn."

Steve introduced to Sam again: "Dr. Quinn's medical skills make all of us not choose any other medical institution."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Corvin and Sam shook hands.

"Then let's talk later." Steve said goodbye with a smile: "I continue to stay here, it seems to make the atmosphere awkward, please forgive me..."

Steve raised his finger and nodded his head: "My thoughts seem to be left in the last century."

"I won't disturb your good deeds anymore."

Maria Hill also left with a smile, and winked her left eye at Natasha: "Don't miss it, there is no difficulty that cannot be broken."

After speaking, Maria Hill smiled and Steve turned and left.

There were only Kewen and Natasha left near the bar.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Natasha laughed in a low voice: "Awkward?"

"Do not……"

Kewen shook his head and said with a smile, "So, everyone knows what you're worrying about?"

"nothing."

Natasha was a little perfunctory: "You should be able to understand, right? As an agent, it is natural to surround a wall outside the atrium. I don't know which mission I died in, so I basically don't think about other things."

Hearing this, Kewen couldn't continue the topic, so he showed a consoling smile and raised his glass.

Ding!

The wine glasses collided, the two raised their heads and drank the wine in the glasses, and then changed the subject tacitly.

...

The party continued into the night.

After the end, Cowen was retained again and was invited to participate in the small faction within the Avengers.

The location of the party was changed to the lounge on the higher floor.

In addition to Kewen and all the Avengers, Helen Zhao, Colonel Rhodes and Maria Hill were present.

Everyone sat around the coffee table, laughing and talking about some light topics while drinking.

Everyone will tell some interesting things about themselves, and after a good laugh, everyone will raise a glass to drink.

After a few rounds, Zhao Hailun was the first to drink down and fell asleep in the middle of the sofa.

This did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm, and the party continued.

Soon it was Thor's turn to tell anecdotes.

He told some stories about fighting in the Nine Realms, but because he boasted too much, he was interrupted by everyone's chorus and asked him to tell some other interesting things.

Sol thought for a while, then raised his hand to summon Thor's Hammer and placed it on the coffee table.

He talked about the difficulty of making 'Miao Miao Hammer' and the difficulty recognized by "Miao Miao Hammer".

Everyone is accustomed to Thor's boasting, so they still think that Thor has exaggerated the description of Thor's Hammer.

Sol was very frank about this. He gestured to Thor's Hammer: "You can try it yourself."

"real?"

Clint, who was nestled in the sofa, stood up and smiled in a frightening manner: "Then I really tried it?"

"Please." Thor threw his palms towards Thor's Hammer.

"Aren't you really worried?"

Clint walked around the coffee table and walked towards Thor's Hammer, while jokingly repeating what Thor had just said, he pressed his throat and said falsetto, "Whoever is worthy can get power."

Holding his hand on the handle of Thor's Hammer, Clint asked Sol with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I will actually lift the hammer and take away your power?"

Sol was not worried, and made a please gesture again with the corners of his mouth curled: "It doesn't matter, just try."

Clint said no more, he looked down at Mjolnir, his hands clenched tightly, and he lifted it up forcefully.

However, Thor's Hammer remained motionless.

After holding on for a breath of time, Clint gave up directly.

Letting go of his breath, he shook his head and smiled: "Okay, I admit that the trick on the hammer stumped me."

"Have you heard the silent sarcasm?"

Tony Stark joked: "The hammer is telling you not to lift it."

"Please!"

Clint raised his hand to invite Tony Stark: "Come on, please show Mr. Stark again."

Tony Stark got up in response, and said frivolously as he walked towards Thor's Hammer: "It's just simple physics. Thor? If I lift it up, I can be the king of Asgard?"

"Okay." Saul raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"Then I want to restore the lord's first night right."

Having said that, Tony Stark firmly grasped the handle of the hammer with both hands, and also held his breath to prepare for force.

At this moment, Kewen suddenly spoke.

Shaking the cocktail in his glass, he said jokingly: "Asgardians have three times the density of a human body, Stark, are you sure you can break through that barrier?"

puff!

Without holding back his breath, Tony Stark was suddenly relieved, and the eyes he looked at Cowen were speechless.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Everyone burst into laughter and woke Zhao Hailun who was sleeping, but because she was too drunk, she took a dazed look and fell asleep again.

Tony Stark rolled his eyes in the roar of laughter, then stopped talking, held his breath again and lifted his hands up.

But Thor's Hammer remained motionless.

"Be right back."

Tony Stark refused to admit defeat, he let go of his hands and went to equip his suit.

However, even with the support of the suit, he was still unable to move Thor's hammer.

He called Colonel Rhodes to use the suit as well, but the result remained the same.

Tony Stark had to admit defeat and sat back on the sofa under Clint's "no lift" joke.

The activity of lifting the hammer made everyone have fun, and then we changed people to continue the experiment.

Maria Hill and Bruce Banner, they were also unable to move Thor's hammer.

The successive roars sounded, making Zhao Hailun unable to sleep again. After she woke up, she also participated in it, which also ended in failure.

It was Steve Rogers' turn, who rolled up his sleeves to the cheers of the crowd, then grabbed the handle of the hammer with both hands.

Holding his breath, Thor's Hammer suddenly moved slightly for a moment.

The others didn't notice the difference, but Sol's smile froze.

He glanced at Steve in surprise, then stared at Thor's Hammer nervously.

Seeing that Steve couldn't make Thor's Hammer move again after several attempts, he breathed a sigh of relief and echoed everyone's booing.

In the roar of laughter, Natasha put her mouth to Kewen's ear and whispered, "Did the hammer move just now? Did I drink too much?"

Kewen took a sip of his wine, and then reminded in a low voice, "Recall the state of the muscles on Steve's arms."

Natasha recalled for a moment, then froze for a moment.

After being reminded, she finally got the point.

Steve obviously tried really hard at the beginning, and the tightness of the muscles in his arms was not fake.

However, that state of muscle tension soon changed. It was no longer a forceful gesture of lifting things, but a cover-up of deliberately bulging muscles.

Thinking of this, Natasha couldn't help but get closer, and said in surprise in Cowen's ear: "Captain, can he?!"

"Who knows." Kewen didn't give an accurate answer, smiled and took another sip.

At this time, someone called Natasha.

"Miss Black Widow?"

Tony Stark greeted with a non-official look: "You and Cowen are left, what are you waiting for? Come and try to rule Asgard."

"no need."

Natasha pushed her hands forward to express her refusal, then leaned on the sofa and smiled, "I'm not curious if I can lift it up."

She tilted her head and curled the corners of her mouth: "And if you lift it up, you'll be embarrassed. I can't imagine that a girl like me is going to take a hammer."

Natasha's words caused a burst of laughter.

After laughing, everyone turned to look at Kewen.

"What about you, Kewen?" Tony Stark stirred up the atmosphere: "You are the only one left. You are not like our group of violent guys. Doctors who treat and save people should always meet the character requirements of this hammer, right?"

"Come and try and take away the dominion of Asgard."

Tony Stark urged with a smile: "By the way, let everyone see if you are a qualified doctor."

"No."

Holding the wine glass and shaking his head, Kewen said with a smile, "My hands are used to heal and save people, not to smash around with a hammer."

"Come on, bro." Tony Stark coaxed: "I think you are afraid, afraid that you are not a qualified doctor by the hammer."

Cowen smiled again and shook his head.

"Hey guys."

Because of drinking, Maria Hill no longer chooses to hint, she directly asks everyone's opinion: "You say, are they a good match?"

"That's right!"

Tony Stark clapped his hands, pointed at Cowen and Natasha, and said with a smile: "In terms of not being gregarious, the two of them almost came out of the same mold."

The booing laughter sounded again, this time everyone no longer complained about the failure to lift the hammer, but made fun of Kewen and Natasha.

Natasha immediately countered with a smile: "Don't try to divert your attention! No matter how much you tease me and Kewen, you can't hide your lack of character to lift a hammer."

"It has nothing to do with character!"

Tony Stark immediately sophistry: "It's because there is a password on the hammer! Only Sol's fingerprints can be verified!"

"This statement is quite novel."

Sol got up with his wine glass in his hand. He walked to Thor's Hammer, looked around at everyone and smiled, "Unfortunately, your ideas are all wrong. The reason why you really can't lift the hammer..."

With a random swing of his arm, Thor lifted Thor's hammer easily.

He let go of the hammer and said proudly, "It's just because none of you are qualified."

The roar sounded, and everyone made a sound of disgust.

However, at this moment, the harsh sound of fried wheat suddenly resounded through the entire lounge, causing everyone to cover their ears and complain...
