【British and American】My miserable life studying abroad

(The title is not a typo, it’s a nickname)

"There's actually not much to say about this. It's nothing more than a pursuit of firepower and a desire for strength." Wei Shengling sat on a chair waiting for the barbecue, and tried to explain what the "fear of insufficient firepower" was.

"So Tony thinks that our military force is too insufficient now?" Dr. Banner thought thoughtfully. "It seems that he has fallen into this state since the end of the last New York War."

"Did the Chitauri give you any ideas?" Natasha quickly thought of the source, "We obviously had enough power to expel the Chitauri at that time."

"Well..." Tony looked at them, drawling out the notes, without speaking.

"Is it the part where he carries a nuclear bomb into space?" Wei Shengling said. She certainly knew the cause of Tony's PTSD.

Steve looked at Tony guiltily, "If it had been me..."

"It's you, so what if it's you? Can you fly? Seriously, my God, old popsicle, you're not going to take the nuclear bomb and die with us, are you?"

Tony said in an exaggerated tone, "It's useless to feel guilty, and this matter has nothing to do with you. There are only a few people who can fly back and forth. Do you expect Thor to go to space with a nuclear bomb? He is an Asgardian, not an Earthling. He doesn't have such a strong sense of belonging here."

Steve sighed. He knew that Tony was just using this method to relieve his guilt by hiding his tenderness beneath his cynical and awkward appearance.

"Is it space that scares you, or what did you see outside?" Clint is much more energetic now, Tony pondered, not wanting to talk about this, he didn't want to expose his vulnerability in front of others.

"Listen, Tony, we just want to help you become stronger. We need to know what you are afraid of so that we can prescribe the right medicine, right?" Wei Shengling said in a different way. The man said awkwardly, "Afraid? What are you afraid of? Stark is never afraid."

The door of the box opened, and everyone stopped discussing for a moment, watching the waiter carry a few large skewers of grilled meat and place them on a plate in the middle of the table.

"This is part of it. The rest is still being roasted," said the waiter.

After he left the box, there was silence. Tony spoke first, "Except for the suffocation in space, which was not a big deal with Suki's oxygen support, I saw a dense alien army outside the earth, with no end in sight, advanced weapons, countless people..."

At this point, pain and anxiety appeared on his face. Wei Shengling sat over and said softly, "I am in the midst of the great changes, neither happy nor afraid."

Tony felt better, and he asked confusedly, "Sookie, what were you talking about?"

"It's a line from our country," she replied. "It means that when faced with difficulties, just let nature take its course. There will be a solution, or another line may work better for you. Don't use your limited body to constantly provide for endless worries."

"You seem to have said only a few words, but there is a long explanation." Steve was very interested.

"In a more understandable way, similar to a compressed package?" Wei Shengling smiled.

"I obviously didn't understand the poem you said before, but after you finished speaking, I seemed to feel much better and my mind became clearer." Tony looked at her in surprise. "Why is that?"

"This is the ability I mentioned before, do you remember? At the meeting, I said that I could give people various statuses. This can be considered one of them. In fact, my ability is poetry and words." After several months of running-in, Wei Shengling finally told these people his true ability.

As for her mutant abilities, the next time her mental strength is enhanced, she may reach the level of words and spirits where she can use her abilities without saying them out loud. This is a trump card, not a trump card against teammates, but a trump card against enemies.

"Amazing..." Clint looked over. "Those sudden appearances of water and fire on the battlefield in New York, were they also your abilities?"

"Yes," she nodded. "Our country's poetry is extensive and profound, with a long history of more than 3000 years. Basically, we can find all kinds of poetry."

"Wow," Dr. Banner exclaimed while eating meat, "I've always known that you came from a mysterious ancient oriental country, but I've never been there. It seems that I really need to spend some time to visit your country and experience it."

"Pick a time to do team building." Tony waved his hand. "When we are all free, we can travel to Suki's country. The private jet is always on standby."

He temporarily ended the conversation and decided to eat first. They could discuss the rest back at the Avengers Building.

This time they were finally full and everyone was very satisfied with the barbecue. It was already dark and they all planned to go back to the Avengers Building to rest, mainly to keep an eye on Tony and make sure he had a good sleep tonight.

"Hey, guys, what do you want to do? I'll go take a rest when I'm sleepy..." Tony backed away repeatedly.

"Look at your dark circles. You're totally unconvincing, Stark." Natasha prefers to call Tony by his last name when she's serious. The latter waved his hand to explain. Steve frowned and said gently, "Children know that they need to go to bed when they're tired, but you, Tony, you don't do that at all."

Tony:…

So you're going to tie me up and force me to sleep?

"Suki." Banner called Wei Shengling, who understood "I am not at ease when I have nothing to do, and I sleep when the sun is already red in the east window."

Tony felt sleepiness coming over him and he fell forward, being caught by Steve.

"Wait a minute, I'll make up for it," Wei Shengling stopped the people who were about to take Tony to the room, "I didn't realize I was just a guest in my dream, I was just enjoying myself for a while."

Have a good dream, don’t feel so anxious, powerless, and scared in your dreams.

Tony's frown relaxed and he fell into a deeper sleep.

Looks like he'll get a good night's sleep.

Back in his room in the building, Wei Shengling collapsed on the soft bed, thinking about what would happen next.

SHIELD was found to be undercover, Captain America Steve was wanted, Nick Fury faked his death, Ultron, the Winter Soldier was revealed to be the murderer who killed Tony's parents, but he was brainwashed, Civil War...

How should she remind them? She ruffled her long hair and fell asleep in great distress.

the next day.

Tony was still dazed when he woke up. The sunlight dimly shone through the curtains into the room. Jarvis gently announced the current time, weather, temperature, appropriate clothing, and his current condition.

My tired and heavy brain has now become much more relaxed, my thinking is sharper, and my body seems to be lighter.

Last night...it seemed like he had a good dream. He wanted to recall it, but found that he could not remember anything. Only positive emotions such as beauty, happiness, and warmth remained in his heart.

"Looks like I have to find a way to thank them..." Tony rubbed his brows. Black Widow's Sting is going to be upgraded, and Old Popsicle's suit can also be made of a different material.

Suki has always been wearing ordinary clothes and a hooded mask, which is too simple. Dr. Banner... give him a set of clothes with good toughness so that his clothes won't burst every time he turns into the Hulk, and he will be in an extremely embarrassing state when he changes back.

Feichu's equipment should also be updated.

These friends are more caring than you might think.

He got up and went out. When he woke up, it was almost noon and most of the other people in the building had already left.

"Sir, several Avengers left breakfast for you before they left, including Captain, Suki, and Mr. Barton."

Jarvis reported diligently. These people basically cooked their own meals. Natasha left without having breakfast, and Dr. Banner just had some takeout. Everyone left at different times.

"..." Tony was a little touched, but he didn't express it. The breakfasts left by the three people were of different types, but they all tasted good.

"It seems that the updated equipment materials they are given should be pushed up a bit." He muttered as he walked into the laboratory, and was pulled out four hours later.

Tony:?

He looked at Pepper who came in, "Pepper? How did you get in?"

"Sir, you once gave Miss Potts the highest authority. She can enter and leave the laboratory freely."

After listening to Jarvis' explanation, he remembered that this seemed to be true.

"It's evening already, you should have dinner, Tony." Pepper had been very worried about Tony's condition, but she alone couldn't convince this stubborn man. This time with the help of other Avengers, Tony had to go even if he didn't want to go.

"Dr. Banner, Hawkeye and the captain are already waiting outside." Pepper said.

Tony was speechless. Isn't this a threat...

Just get out.
