Chapter 205 Pietro and Wanda
"It is you!"
Bruce smiled brightly and greeted warmly.
He actually didn't know this guy at all.
But every time he enters a new world, he will have a new identity as an orphan, and at the same time, he will also have some more "acquaintances".
For example, the nanny in the orphanage has companions who grew up together in the orphanage.
But we are not very familiar with each other, just acquaintances.
At this moment, the silver-haired boy grabbed Bruce's hand and pulled him over.
"Why did you come to this yard?"
The silver-haired boy seemed a little nervous, and his eyes kept glancing at those guys with extraordinary abilities behind Bruce.
“There are some weirdos here.”
He said, "Don't come here if you have nothing to do. Come back with me. Mammy has been looking for you."
Bruce had a lot of questions he wanted to ask at this moment, but now was obviously not the time.
He suppressed all the doubts in his mind and simply followed the silver-haired boy into another building.
There, everything seemed much more normal.
The silver-haired boy was a very talkative person. He was the one talking all the way while Bruce was listening. With occasional indirect hints, Bruce managed to get a lot of information.
such as--
"The people who stay in that yard are all troubled teenagers."
The silver-haired boy said, "I'm not talking about super powers, but their psychology is very extreme. You may just say something unintentional, and they may feel offended and want to fight you to death."
Having said that, the silver-haired boy stuck out his tongue, looking extremely disgusted.
"Who wants to fight them? I have to live and take revenge!"
"really."
Bruce nodded and said, "I don't have your wisdom."
"Right!"
The silver-haired young man said proudly, "It's nothing to avoid them for a while. Even if they hit me a few times, it doesn't hurt me at all!"
"I can see that," Bruce said casually.
"It's not that I can't beat them, it's mainly because Wanda doesn't let me fight them."
The silver-haired boy seemed to want to prove something, his hands were in a boxing posture, and his body was pretending to dodge.
"My fighting skills are also very strong. I can usually take down three or five adults easily!"
"You have a sister?" Bruce suddenly asked.
"It's my older sister." The silver-haired boy looked a little discouraged. "She's my twin sister. She's only thirty seconds older than me. It's a pity that the doctor didn't take me out first, otherwise I would be my older brother."
"Oh--"
Bruce made a long tone, "I see. By the way, Pietro, didn't you say that Mammy is still waiting for us? Let's go over there quickly!"
The silver-haired young man woke up as if from a dream. Indeed, he seemed to have been so busy chatting that he forgot about the important things.
"Then let's go."
He said in response, and this reaction confirmed his identity to Bruce.
After all, he was called Pietro just now, and he didn't deny it.
"It's really the two siblings you mentioned."
Bruce said to Katoom via telepathy, as the owl was now circling in the sky, unwilling to land in the orphanage.
It seems like he doesn't want to be affected by Bruce's bad luck.
"I told you it was them, but you still didn't believe me."
Katum said, "When I saw the silver hair on his head, I was 100% sure. You are the only one who has to confirm it."
The silver-haired boy Pietro, whose full name is Pietro Maximoff, is the future Quicksilver.
Because Hawkeye Flag was the first unlucky guy to die.
The sister he mentioned, Wanda Maximoff, is even more of a heavyweight. She will be the one who will destroy the Illuminati in the future.
But at this point, both guys were still kids, looking even younger than Bruce.
Probably around 12 years old.
Bruce followed Pietro into the nanny's office, where a middle-aged woman who looked to be around fifty years old was holding a pen and looking at a list with a sad face.
When the two children came in, the nanny's face became even uglier.
In the office, there was a little girl in a crimson dress, waiting quietly.
Her expression was a little dazed, as if she was immersed in her own thoughts and had no interest in anything in the outside world.
"Here we come!"
Pietro called out to Mammy, "Mammy White, you look a little unhappy!"
"Keep your voice down!"
The nanny scolded, paused for a moment, and suddenly sighed.
"Pietro, Bruce, I'm glad you're here. I have something to tell you."
"Say it!"
Pietro sat down next to the girl in the red dress, then patted the empty seat next to him, motioning Bruce to sit over.
After Bruce sat down, the three children sat together, waiting for what Mammy would say next.
“This year’s list is out.”
As soon as the nanny opened her mouth, her voice suddenly trembled and she almost couldn't continue.
Bruce immediately caught this strange feeling.
Why did Mammy look like that? He wondered, wasn't the next announcement about inheritance?
According to the routine of every new world, Bruce will first enter an orphanage and then inherit a large fortune.
It was like this every time, so when Pietro called out to him, Bruce naturally assumed that this time would be no exception.
But now it appears that things may have indeed gone awry.
"The three of you are the ones chosen this time."
Mammy took a long time to adjust her emotions before she could continue, "When you go to Baron Stark, you must remember..."
Before she could finish her words, Pietro suddenly cheered.
"awesome!"
He said excitedly, "This is the second good news I have heard today!"
"Shut up, Pietro."
At this time, the girl in red, who had been daydreaming, spoke. She just said it lightly, and Pietro sat back with his neck shrunk.
This manifestation of blood suppression allowed Bruce to confirm her identity.
She must be Wanda.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Bruce said in his mind, "I've seen this sister before!"
"What are you talking about?" Katum said, "When have you seen it?"
“Yes, I have seen it!”
Bruce said, "During the last battle in the Dusk Wolf Universe, weren't there many figures in the thunderstorm? She was one of them."
He did meet Wanda, but as an adult version.
It looks much better than it does now.
"correct."
Bruce asked the owl, "Do you know who Baron Strucker is? Why does Mammy look so terrified when his name is mentioned?"
"He's from Hydra." Katum didn't keep the secret. "He's pretty much the same type as Professor Pigface. They both do human experiments, but he prefers studying superhumans."
In "Avengers 2", it was he who used Loki's mind scepter to inspire Wanda and Pietro's superpowers.
"So the children in the yard just now were all Baron Stark's experimental subjects?" Bruce asked.
"Almost. But the experiment probably didn't succeed."
Katum sighed, "Those children obviously can't control their abilities, and... their lifespans are almost exhausted."
Bruce should be familiar with this.
The Water Company in the Black Robe World has such an orphanage, which is specifically used to deal with unqualified children with super powers.
Hearing this, Bruce realized the problem.
Were they captured by Baron Stark this time for experiments as well?
Mammy hadn't finished her words, but after being interrupted by Pietro, she didn't feel like continuing.
She just told the children to go back and get ready, as the Baron's men would come to pick them up tomorrow.
After leaving the office, Pietro was in extremely high spirits.
"Great! Great!" he said excitedly, "I can now avenge my parents!"
Obviously, he knew what fate he would face after being selected.
But not only was he not afraid, he was looking forward to it.
Wanda couldn't stand Pietro's look, so she snorted and said, "Why are you so happy? Even if we have super powers, it will be a long time in the future. By then, Stark might be dead!"
"Stark?"
Bruce caught this information and confirmed, "Are you talking about the Stark from Stark Group?"
If so, Bruce really has something to say to Stark.
What kind of battle suits are you researching?
Why can't you withstand Superman's punch?
Because the foundation of Stark's suit was too poor, the upper limit of the Hellbat armor was limited, causing Bruce to suffer in the battle with Superman.
He really wanted to discuss this issue with Stark in a friendly manner.
"Of course it's Stark from Stark Group!"
Pietro gritted his teeth and said, "Besides Tony Stark, can you find another war demon?"
He put his arm around Bruce's shoulders, filled with indignation, and recounted the misfortunes he and Wanda had experienced in the past.
"Bruce, you don't think Wanda and I were born orphans, do you?"
"I never thought of that!"
Bruce quickly explained, "I believe you must have had parents!"
"yes--"
Pietro sighed, "Wanda and I once had a happy family, but it was all ruined by Tony Stark!"
In his narration, Bruce heard a cruel story.
Maksimov was a happy family of four living in Kosovia until the war broke out.
The family was having dinner at that time.
Stark Group's missiles hit their home directly, taking away Pietro's parents. Wanda and Pietro escaped because they were buried under the rubble.
But then, a second missile flew in.
"It was a dud. It didn't explode."
Pietro's emotions were extremely complicated. "I was holding Wanda, shivering under the rubble. No one came to save us, and the bomb could explode at any time. I could only look at the Stark Group logo on the bomb and pray to God in my heart, asking him to have mercy on us."
It was hard for Bruce to imagine how difficult it was for Pietro and the others while they were waiting for rescue.
They dared not move, fearing that the slightest vibration would cause the bomb to explode.
But being buried in the ruins is tantamount to waiting for death.
In that situation, there was really nothing they could do except pray to God.
"This revenge must be avenged!"
Bruce chose to support Pietro's decision, "Stark Group killed your parents, they must pay for it!"
"Do you really think so?"
Katum suddenly said, "Just like if your parents were shot to death, if you want revenge you should go after the murderer, not the manufacturer of the pistol, right?"
"With a sharp blade in the heart, the desire to kill arises naturally."
Bruce said, "Besides, Stark Group is an arms group that makes profits through war, so it will naturally support more wars."
Those weapons should be confiscated and used on the Hellbat armor.
"whatever."
Katum just asked, since Bruce had made the judgment, he didn't bother to care.
Bruce returned to his earlier conversation with Pietro.
"Then why did Wanda just say that when you get your super powers, you won't know if Stark is still alive?"
"Because Tony Stark has been kidnapped!"
Pietro said happily, "Just wait, I'll show you something!"
He suddenly left Bruce and Wanda behind and ran towards the hall of the orphanage.
Pietro runs very fast, no wonder he said just now that he can easily deal with three or five adults.
Most people can't catch up with him.
Come to think of it, it’s actually a bit difficult for Bruce to catch up with Pietro now.
He is no longer in Harry's world or the DC world, the Speed Force no longer exists, and Bruce has lost his speed.
Bruce is not Barry Allen, and he cannot create the Speed Force himself.
If he wants to transform into Red Lightning again, he can only wait until he returns to Harry or the DC world.
Pietro disappeared in a flash, leaving only Bruce and Wanda here.
Wanda always looked daydreamy and would never take the initiative to talk to Bruce.
Bruce didn't know how to initiate the conversation.
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
The awkward atmosphere was broken only when Pietro came running over waving a newspaper.
"Here's some good news!"
Pietro grinned and said, "Tony Stark had an accident in the Middle East and his whereabouts are unknown! I guess he was kidnapped by terrorists. I hope he is okay!"
It's better to risk being rescued.
In fact, Pietro did have regrets in his heart. He wanted to kill his enemies with his own hands so that he could feel the pleasure of revenge.
But he also knew that the Stark family was huge and powerful, and it would be difficult for him and Wanda alone to bring down this behemoth.
Since someone is willing to help them get rid of the scourge Tony Stark, Pietro can accept it if he is patient!
Bruce's eyes wandered over the newspaper, reading the entire report.
In fact, there is no valuable information on it. Except for Tony Stark's early whereabouts, the rest of the article is just speculation.
"Stark can't die, right?"
Bruce confirmed with Katoom in his mind, "If he died here, then who was the Iron Man I saw at the beginning?"
"I can't die."
"In about three months, he would escape from the desert himself, and from then on, Iron Man would appear," said Katoom.
That's it.
Bruce sighed and looked over to the cheering Pietro.
The bad news: Stark can't die.
Good news: You can take revenge yourself!
