My Marvel Superman Girlfriend.

Skye stared at him intently, her beautiful eyes revealing a look that was hard to tell whether it was wariness or fear. She couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly are you?"

hope Nian didn't answer directly, but shrugged and said, "Whoever you think I am, that's who I am."

He looked at the bustling street ahead, illuminated by neon lights, and asked softly, "Skye, are you continuing your mission?"

"of course."

Skye turned to look in the same direction as him and said firmly, "I will protect you until I get you to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters!"

When that time comes, it will all be over.

Perhaps, we will never have the chance to meet again.

Skye thought to herself.

Chapter 198, One Night in New York: Who's Using Whom?

late at night.

A studio apartment in New York.

Skye returned here with Shinian, who was carrying a kitten, and closed the door behind her, immediately cutting off the outside noise and light.

Only a little light seeped in through the crack at the bottom of the door.

"Why aren't the lights on?" hope Nian looked into the dark room, blinked, and the kitten in her arms had eyes like two clusters of blue flames.

“Turning on the lights will make you easily visible to people outside. If there’s a sniper in the building across the street, you’re done for,” Skye replied in a slightly cold tone.

hope Nian looked towards the windowsill inside the room, and sure enough, the windows were also tightly closed, with dark curtains drawn, only a faint glimmer of light shining through.

hope Nian was speechless for a moment. He really wanted to say that he wasn't afraid of being sniped...

but.

Seeing the other person skillfully change into slippers in the dark and enter the house as lightly as a ghost, it was clear that Skye was already used to it.

They live in darkness and solitude year after year.

It actually fits the style and temperament of a secret agent quite well.

hope Nian also touched the shoe cabinet and found it to be empty.

“I live alone at home and I don’t have many guests, so I only have one pair of slippers.”

Skye carried a stack of blankets back to the living room from her room and said quickly, "Just come in wearing your own shoes, so you can escape quickly in case of an emergency. You'll sleep in my room tonight, and I'll sleep on the sofa outside and keep watch. We'll go to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters first thing tomorrow morning."

“Okay.” Xinian didn’t stand on ceremony and readily agreed to the other party’s arrangement.

That's to say.

Although the other person was cold, they were actually very reassuring, and their presence was warm enough.

A cold and aloof female special agent?

A kind and sweet older sister!

……

After taking a shower.

Xinian changed into an outfit Skye had prepared: unisex jeans and a white T-shirt, which surprisingly fit her quite well…

Stepping out of the bathroom, Xinian glanced at the sofa in the living room. Skye was covered with a blanket and seemed to be asleep, making no sound.

Goodnight, Skye.

hope uttered those words in a low voice, walked into the room, and closed the door behind him.

Everything suddenly fell silent.

After another ten seconds of silence in the dark living room.

Skye suddenly threw off the blanket, letting out a slow breath, as if she had been holding her breath the whole time.

Skye covered her burning cheeks with her palms, then quickly picked up the clothes hidden beside her and tiptoed into the dark bathroom.

……

Inside the room, no lights were on; only the outside light shone through the windows.

Xinian sat cross-legged on the light pink bed and waved to the little orange cat beside him. The little orange cat immediately understood and leaped forward, landing lightly on his crossed legs.

"Meow meow."

The little orange cat rolled its eyes in a human-like manner and meowed at Xinian a few times in annoyance.

hope Nian seemed to understand what the little orange cat meant, and said helplessly, "I did pretend to be unconscious before, but not in the way you think..."

"Ah... open your mouth, I need to take a sample."

Insert your five fingers into the slightly open cat's mouth and feel around.

Xinian quickly took out a touchscreen smartphone.

"Luckily, I had a backup..."

Xi Nian muttered to himself, looking at the lit-up phone screen, where a series of data codes flashed like dazzling lights.

Above.

Skye's personal photos also appeared.

"Keep an eye out for me... and tomorrow is all up to you."

hope Nian murmured softly, as if talking to the phone in his hand. The phone screen flashed, as if in response.

Put down your phone.

hope Nian closed his eyes, and the events of the day flashed through his mind. Finally, he suddenly opened his eyes and raised a finger in front of him.

A finger pierces the dark void.

hum-

A faint yet undeniable fluctuation emanated from the air in front of them, like invisible ripples, but before it left the area around the bed, it eerily subsided...

"I see." hope Nian's eyes seemed thoughtful.

So this is the side effect of the other party using their ability.

……

The next day, morning.

A black car with extremely high ground clearance sped through the city streets of New York and onto a modern bridge leading to an island in the city. The closer it got to this side, the less ordinary residents and vehicles it became.

It felt like we had entered a restricted area, with mysterious figures dressed in black occasionally whispering nearby.

In the passenger seat of the car.

The boy looked out the window at the vast blue lake beneath the bridge, which resembled an ocean, and the outline of an island that was faintly visible on the other side of the bridge, where the car was about to reach. The island was filled with unique high-rise buildings and large factories.

Previously, a split version of the canister had already explored the path.

and so.

hope Nian knew that their destination—the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.—was fast approaching.

"Now, I can still turn back."

In the driver's seat, a woman dressed in a black, tight-fitting leather agent uniform, with her dark blonde hair flowing gracefully over her shoulders and lightly painted dark red lipstick, spoke coldly.

"Why turn around?" hope Nian asked innocently.

"I don't know if you're clear about it or not."

Skye took a deep breath and stared intently ahead: "Nick Fury, the most prestigious director of S.H.I.E.L.D., is dead! He died in the city during the day! The mysterious force that attacked him also knew the route of Nick Fury's car and that Nick Fury would ask Captain America for help when he was in dire straits."

"It was all meticulously planned. And to have such a high level of intelligence on Nick Fury, and to be able to quickly organize such a large-scale attack in the city..."

Skye paused here.

"Are you suspecting that this was done by one of your own people?" hope Nian asked bluntly.

"Besides S.H.I.E.L.D., I can't think of any other organization that could have such capabilities—though this is just a guess."

Skye gripped the steering wheel tightly, staring straight ahead: "Regardless. Right now, S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters may be hiding enormous dangers and secrets. Not to mention you, once I go in, I might not come out of there either."

"If you want to turn back, it's not too late..."

Before Skye could finish speaking, Xinian interrupted her and asked, "If it weren't for this mission, would you like to go into headquarters?"

Skye paused for two seconds, then said softly, "S.H.I.E.L.D. is, after all, the place that trained me. I don't believe it could be so corrupt or dark, so I need to go in and check it out myself! With your mission in place, I also have a legitimate reason to go into headquarters and investigate."

"Then continue your pick-up and drop-off duties."

hope Nian's seemingly harmless face revealed a nonchalant expression, and holding the kitten made him appear somewhat scholarly and frail.

"I'm using you."

Skye gripped the steering wheel tighter, unable to look the boy in the eye.

"Please go ahead. This trip hasn't even started yet, how can you go home halfway through?" hope Nian smiled slightly and reached out to stroke the little orange cat's fur.

use?

Who isn't?

Chapter 199, Captain America and Xinian in the Elevator

The island in the city, the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., the main building.

"stop!"

As soon as the boy entered the main gate, he was stopped by four male agents guarding the gate.

"It's me, Shockwave."

The woman in the black uniform behind him immediately stepped forward, showed him her agent ID, and said coldly, "I'm taking him on a tour of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters on Nick Fury's orders."

Nick Fury?

The four male agents exchanged a glance, but continued to reach out to stop the boy.
