The demonstrations in the streets lasted from noon to evening.
Since this is a long-term and noble cause against violence, the demonstrators did not choose to attack the riot police who protected the city hall, but dispersed after the demonstration time ended.
Standing at the forefront of the parade, Pietro maximoff and Wanda maximoff, who clamored the most, are the same…
Holding signs and banners of protest, the two dragged their tired bodies back to their apartment on the outskirts of the city.
Wanda maximoff, 17 years old this year; Pietro maximoff, also 17 years old.
Judging from the last name, you can know the close relationship between the two:
The two are twin siblings who were born only 12 minutes apart.
However, the difficult and war-torn living environment added a bit of traces to their immature faces.
The two people who should have gone to high school seem to be much more mature than ordinary young people.
The two who returned to the apartment, as soon as they walked in, Wanda maximoff took off his jacket casually, threw it on the sofa bought from the second-hand market, and said:
"I'm going to take a shower first, and I will go to work later…"
The slightly hoarse voice was full of fatigue.
Hearing this, Pietro maximoff just gave an "um", then sat down on the sofa, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, and turned on the TV.
With a sound of "di", a colorful picture suddenly appeared on the pitch-black TV.
Holding the remote control, Pietro turned the stage boredly while listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Suddenly, his hand moved for a while, and the TV channel stopped on "International News".
A blonde female anchor, sitting in the studio, introduced the world's major international news in the past 24 hours.
"…The following is the economic news. According to the statistics of Martin Wolf, the chief financial commentator of the Washington Times, since Pepper Potts became the CEO of Stark Industries, Stark Industries' operating policy has been greatly improved. Changes. At the same time, the stock price is rising steadily…"
"As for the chairman of the company, Tony Stark, he seems very relieved to hand over his career to his heroine girlfriend, and put most of his energy on the superhero team of Avengers…"
The name "Stark" immediately attracted Pietro's attention.
I saw him leaning forward slightly, with blue eyes under his white hair, staring closely at the picture on the TV.
It was a half-length photo of Tony Stark in a suit and leather shoes, with an expression as if thinking about something.
However, such a common picture, in Pietro maximoff's eyes, is a true portrayal of the devil.
Holding the right hand of the remote control tightly, the blood vessels on the back of his hand burst, as if to describe the extreme anger in the owner's heart.
"Damn Tony Stark…"
In a low voice, Pietro maximoff seemed to have gone back to the tragedy that happened at home seven years ago…
At this moment, Wanda, who had just come out of the shower, saw the hideous expression on his twin brother's face, and Roar could not help but shouted:
"Pietro!"
With this Roar shout, Pietro maximoff, who was caught in painful memories, recalled reality.
"Um?"
After recovering, Pietro looked at Wanda, who looked at him worriedly, and couldn't help but press the remote control's on-off key to turn off the TV.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up seemingly unintentionally, smiled reluctantly, and said:
"Oh! You're done washing, then it's my turn…"
However, before he walked back to the bedroom to get a change of clothes, a sudden knock on the door suddenly sounded!
The two people standing in the living room frowned.
Wearing a white T-shirt and shorts, Wanda looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, walked towards the door, and whispered:
"It's this time, why are there still guests visiting?"
When Wanda came to the door and looked out through the cat's eyes, she suddenly found that standing in front of the door was an old man with a hook nose that she had never seen before.
He has an arrogant expression, a tie on a white shirt and a gray coat…
Judging from the appearance and clothing of the other party, Wanda is convinced that she has not seen each other in the convenience store.
Could it be someone Pietro knew?
With such doubts, Wanda unlocked the door, slowly opened the crack of the door, and glanced outside.
"who are you looking for?"
Hearing this, the old man standing in front of the door, Ying Hook nose, smiled slightly, showing a smile that he thought was very kind, and said:
"Good evening, Wanda maximoff!"
Hearing the other party directly calling out his name, Wanda's eyes widened and both hands slammed hard, trying to close the door immediately.
However, she was still a step slower.
Only a "bang" was heard, and a big hand suddenly stretched out from the side, firmly holding the edge of the door.
The next moment, along with the other side's strong pull, the entire door was opened!
"what!"
The sister's surprise, Roar, immediately attracted Pietro in the living room.
He ran to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and hurried to the door.
Protecting his twin sister behind him, Pietro quickly looked at the costume of the one who had come down, and then asked:
"who are you?!"
Hearing this, the old man with Hook nose surrounded by several HYDRA soldiers said in a deep voice:
"Don't be afraid, young man, I just want to talk to you…"
"Don't you let me go in and sit down?"
After speaking, he smiled with a self-righteous smile again.
Looking at the assault rifle in each other's hands, Pietro and Wanda made the wisest choice…
After looking around and looking at the entire apartment, the old man looked at the serious twins and said:
"First of all, let me introduce myself… My name is List, you can call me Doctor directly."
The person here is Dr. List!
"I am here this time to make a proposal to you, a proposal that is very beneficial to you."
Pietro and Wanda just looked at List silently and gave their own speeches.
"I know what you want, and can resist this incompetent fool, the tools of this cruel world, don't you?"
Looking at each other, Pietro looked serious and could not help but retorted:
"We don't need tools, what we need is war and you terrorists stay away from our streets!"
"So! To do that, you must have power, right?!"
Taking a step forward, Dr. List continued in a very bewildering tone:
"And I stand here, just want to give you such strength! If you want to lead to a better future, what I need, get your permission, and then I will show you…"
"What is the power that can bring peace!"
