Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone.

Mike's expression remained unchanged: "May 8, 2003."

Heidi was stunned.

"what?"

“That day you said you would take me to a Mexican restaurant three blocks away from home for dinner, but I waited for you at home until seven o’clock and you still didn’t come back.”

"..."

Hearing this, Heidi couldn't help but blink, subconsciously recalling what Mike had said about that day.

But nothing was gained.

After all, who would remember things from so long ago?

but……

"I lied to you that day? That's impossible, you must be mistaken."

"No."

"So what did I go to do?"

"You didn't get back until nine o'clock after your date with Dylan."

"...Who is Dylan?"

"..."

Mike looked at Heidi, whose eyes were filled with confusion and who seemed to have truly forgotten who Dylan was, and fell silent again.

In 2003, he was eleven years old and Heidi was sixteen.

Just as he had said before, Heidi was saving her own pocket money and then sharing his with him. That day, to make up for it, Heidi said she would treat him to dinner, and he believed her. As a result, he waited until nine o'clock before Heidi, who had forgotten the time because of their date, finally arrived.

The most important thing.

Heidi didn't make up for the Mexican meal she owed him the next day. Instead, he treated Heidi to chicken wraps at the entrance of Central Park.

Because Heidi broke up with that guy named Dylan the very next day.

Mike's memory is unmatched.

But it's clear that Heidi has completely forgotten about it.

Mike looked at Heidi's expression and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know if it was because of the Mexican meal he hadn't delivered on, or because of Dylan, whose name Heidi had already forgotten.

Seeing how confident Mike was, and knowing that he had a good memory since childhood, Heidi rolled her eyes, laughed, and quickly changed the subject: "Okay, I'll treat you to Mexican food tonight, is that alright?"

Mike looked at Heidi with suspicion.

"They won't stand me up tonight, will they?"

"I swear!"

Heidi raised her hand and swore.

Mike believed it.

After all, Heidi was his family, and his only family.

Then the two went home together, but Heidi didn't even go inside. After receiving a phone call, she went straight to the garage, got into her black Dodge, and said she was going back to the station. Then she drove off again.

It is clear that Heidi takes her career very seriously.

only--

Aegis.

Mike walked out of the garage, watching the direction Heidi drove off in. He mentally calculated the current timeline and couldn't help but wonder how Heidi would feel when she lost her job.

After all, it's already the end of July 2013, and in just a few months, the Hydra agents hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D. will begin their second campaign.

The result, of course, was failure.

But in the end, S.H.I.E.L.D. will also suffer, because after Hydra's second failed attempt, S.H.I.E.L.D. will be directly disbanded by the World Security Council.

At that time, apart from some elite S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who will be transferred to other agencies such as the CIA or FBI, most of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, especially the junior agents, will be unemployed.

Mike had no idea what level of agent Heidi was in S.H.I.E.L.D.

But I imagine the level isn't very high.

So Mike suddenly wondered what kind of expression Heidi, who was so career-minded, would have on her face if she suddenly found herself unemployed.

As for whether he had any intention of getting involved in the feud between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra because Heidi was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent?

No.

Absolutely not.

Although he doesn't care at all whether his actions will cause Marvel's storyline to fall apart, he also respects the fate of others.

Again.

He would never have snatched the Reality Stone from Jane Foster if it weren't useful to him.

The most important thing.

When Hydra launches its second offensive, it will only target high-ranking agents. As for low-ranking agents, they won't kill them unless you do something stupid.

After all, Hydra believed that even if they succeeded, they would still need people, a large number of people, to work for them.

and so--

Mike wasn't worried at all. If things got really bad, he could just take Heidi and leave when Hydra launched their second attack.

However, this time was different from the time he failed to run away with his adoptive parents last year.

This time!

He has the confidence and the ability to protect the people he wants to protect and safeguard.

It was afternoon.

While Mike was at home, quietly watching the progress of the phoenix phantom imprinting in his inner universe, he waited for Heidi to send him the address for dinner that evening, as promised.

The sound of Heidi's Dodge engine could be heard outside the house.

But it wasn't just the sound of a Dodge engine.

soon.

The door opened.

Mike, sitting on the sofa, smiled as he looked at Heidi, who had pushed open the door from the outside, and Sharon Carter, who was standing behind Heidi, whom he had met once at the hospital.

"So that's why you invited me to dinner tonight?"

"You're arranging blind dates for me?"

"..."

26. Heidi's role in S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Ten minutes later.

Mike sat on the sofa, looking at a photograph in his hand.

The photo wasn't taken with any camera; it looks more like it was cropped directly from satellite imagery.

A figure walks on the vast white Arctic ice cap.

The second photo is a magnified view of the figure, where the facial features of the figure can be clearly seen.

Her face was sharply defined, and she had a pair of deep blue eyes that resembled the deep sea.

Yes.

It was Mike.

next second.

Mike put down the photo in his hand, glanced at Heidi sitting on the side sofa, and then looked at Sharon Carter sitting on the opposite sofa: "So you're really not the blind date Heidi arranged for me?"

Blind date events can be found everywhere.

one more time.

In the West, arranged marriages between acquaintances are far more common than in the distant, mysterious Eastern superpower, and to some extent, the stability of such unions far surpasses that of the East.

The reason is simple.

In this mysterious Eastern power, if you disobey your family's arrangements, at worst you will be abandoned by your family, but you will still live a carefree life.

In the West, however, once you are abandoned by your family, you basically have only six months left before you become homeless.

Just as Heidi and Sharon were about to speak after hearing what Mike said, Sharon, who was sitting opposite them, spoke first.

“Mr. Ametra…”

"Just call me Mike."

Mike smiled and corrected Sharon on how she addressed him: "You're Heidi's friend, so just call me Mike. But you're definitely not the blind date Heidi found for you."

Heidi, standing nearby, couldn't help but cover her forehead: "Mike, we're talking about serious matters."

Upon hearing this, Mike shrugged and said nothing more.

He knew, of course, that Sharon hadn't come with Heidi to go on a blind date with him. In fact, he had guessed why Sharon had come the moment he saw her arrive.

really.

His suspicions were confirmed after Sharon showed him the photos of him in the Arctic.

As for why Mike said this even though he already knew Sharon's purpose for coming, the reason is quite simple.

Without him.

That's fun.

Anyway, I'm just idling around.

After Heidi spoke, Sharon looked at Mike, who was leaning against the sofa, and took out her badge from her pocket: "Let's get to know each other again, Sharon Carter, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent."

"What agency?" Mike was slightly taken aback. He glanced at Sharon's badge and then looked at Heidi beside him. "Isn't she your colleague from the FBI? How did she become S.H.I.E.L.D.? By the way, is this S.H.I.E.L.D. the same S.H.I.E.L.D. from the Avengers?"
