Next morning!
"Hey, you're the famous Captain America, a legendary hero. People say is immortal, and you live up to the reputation."
"When dealing with those vicious HYDRA agents, you don't even take a step back."
"But now, you don't even dare to meet an eighty-eight-year-old woman?"
Leaning against the car with his arms folded, Tony Stark looked at Steve Rogers, who was hesitant and melancholy at the moment. It seemed Steve was having a hard time making up his mind. Immediately, Tony tried to persuade him in his own forceful way.
(Listening to Tony's seemingly mocking words, which were actually meant to encourage him, Steve was silent for a moment, then looked at Su Che.)
"Go; she has been waiting for you for a very long time!"
Looking at Steve, who was gazing at him, Su Che said with a smile.
"Dude, seriously!"
Taking a step forward, Tony Stark patted Steve on the shoulder. For once, he dropped his frivolous demeanor and replaced it with a serious expression: "When I was young, Aunt Peggy always mentioned you to me."
"Later, even when I grew up, every year when I came to visit Aunt Peggy, besides scolding me for not being serious enough and for not being smart enough to inherit my father's good points, she would always talk about you in front of me!"
"You've kept her waiting too long. I'm afraid if you miss this chance, you'll never get another opportunity to see her!"
Hearing Tony's sincere tone at that moment, Steve Rogers clenched his fist, as if he had made a decision.
A trace of resolve showed in his expression: "Actually, I've wanted to see her ever since I came back from the ice."
"But I just couldn't make up my mind. I've always been worried that when Peggy sees me now, she will..."
"Well, actually, all these worries are just me not being able to face things squarely!"
After saying that, he smiled at the two of them.
Without any further hesitation, Steve immediately strode directly towards the house in front of him.
Watching Steve walk in with firm steps, Tony Stark turned around and leaned against the car again: "I thought even if he came today, he wouldn't dare to go in."
"By the way, do you think his eyes will be red when he comes out, like he's been crying?"
Turning his head to look at Su Che, Tony raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Not sure. But Tony, why did you come here?"
Looking at Tony with one hand in his pocket, Su Che noticed the other hand was being held tightly by Wanda, as if she were declaring sovereignty.
"Tch, how could a historic moment like this be missing me?"
As he spoke, Tony Stark pulled a miniature camera, no bigger than the size of a file folder, from his pocket.
"I'm going to wait for Steve to come out later. If his eyes are red and he's been crying, I'll take a picture as a memento."
"I bet that big fan of Steve's, that S.H.I.E.L.D. agent named Phil Coulson, would be more than happy to buy pictures of Steve crying from me!"
Looking at Tony's smug, self-satisfied expression, Su Che was silent for a moment, then gave him a thumbs up: "You really hold a grudge, don't you? Weren't you just at the HYDRA base in Sokovia a few days ago?"
"On the way back through New Mexico to return the hammer, Phil Coulson asked Steve for his autograph. After you got off the plane, didn't Phil Coulson completely ignore you?"
"Does that seem normal to you?"
Hearing Su Che's words, Tony Stark spread his hands and said, "Please, I'm Tony Stark, I'm Iron Man. And that guy dared to ignore me?"
Having said that, he glanced at Wanda, who was holding Su Che's arm.
"Don't talk about me, why did Wanda come with you?"
"Even if it's the weekend and Wanda is on break, still..."
Halfway through his sentence, feeling Wanda's unfriendly gaze on him, Tony Stark had no choice but to shrug his shoulders. Then he raised his eyebrows at Su Che and said, "But buddy, pay attention. Although Wanda is fifteen now, she's still four years younger than you."
"I don't want to see you get arrested!"
"It's none of your business!"
Before Su Che could respond to Tony's teasing, Wanda was the first to retort: "Anyway, I'll do whatever I want."
Facing Wanda's not-so-malicious rebuke, Tony spread his hands and said nothing more.
He had already looked into Wanda and Pietro's background and learned through certain channels why the Maximoff siblings lost their parents.
Although it had nothing to do with him personally, the Jericho missile was, after all, developed by him. So when facing the Maximoff siblings, Tony always felt a bit unconsciously guilty...
"You dare to talk about me? What about you and Pepper?"
Looking at Tony, Su Che leaned against the car and said with a smile, "I remember someone said that after researching the new element, they would go confess to Pepper!"
"But what's the result? The new element has been researched, even the HYDRA base in Sokovia has been destroyed."
"Yet someone still hasn't managed to express his feelings to Pepper."
Having said that, Su Che looked Tony up and down: "You don't dare, do you?"
"Who says I don't dare?"
Hearing Su Che's ridicule, Tony Stark hesitated and started talking about other things.
He went on about how great Tony Stark was and what a genius he was.
He could get any girlfriend he wanted, and with just a wave of his hand, countless beauties would throw themselves at him.
He would never be too timid to confess, and he would never worry about being rejected.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became quite lively.
Seeing Tony's awkward expression, Su Che reached out and patted his shoulder: "Buddy, since you've made up your mind, you need to take action."
"Look at Steve, didn't he have plenty of worries too?"
"But now, he's standing in front of Ms. Peggy."
"You're not young anymore, so don't delay any longer. After all, Pepper isn't a girl in her teens or twenties anymore."
"What if one day she gets tired of waiting and finds another boyfriend and gets married?"
"What will you do then? It'll be too late for regrets!"
"How could that happen?"
Hearing Su Che's words, Tony Stark immediately stiffened his neck: "Who could be more suitable for her than me?"
"That's impossible!"
Seeing Tony's stubborn refusal to admit it, Su Che smiled and glanced at Wanda, who was holding his arm and smiling sweetly at him.
Then he turned back to Tony and said, "If Pepper one day gets discouraged because of you and thinks she's old enough to marry someone, say, a driver or a bodyguard, what would you do then? Think about it carefully."
"Tch, I don't believe what you're saying. I can tell, Su, you are not a good person!"
Although he said that, it was obvious from Tony's expression that he was actually listening!
Driver and bodyguard?
Why did it sound like that guy Happy?
