Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone

Just like all children who return home for the holidays are urged by their elders to find girlfriends if they don't have one, get married if they do, and have children if they are married.

Heidi's urging had come as soon as Heidi sat down in her high chair, before she even had a chance to pick up her knife and fork.

Mike looked up at Heidi, without even a hint of surprise in his eyes.

after all--

Previously, it was the adoptive mother, Mennie, who said this at Christmas, but now it's the half-sister, Heidi.

Mike didn't even need to think before he blurted out the appropriate response.

"I will try my best."

"Eat quickly."

Heidi didn't press the matter further. Instead, she met Mike's gaze and smiled, saying, "If Mom were here, she would definitely ask the same question. So, I feel like this Christmas wouldn't be perfect if I didn't ask."

Mike looked at the smile on Heidi's lips, and his own lips twitched slightly: "Then you should bring a boyfriend back next year too."

Heidi raised an eyebrow.

Seeing this, Mike quickly said, "If Mom were here, she would definitely say the same thing."

That's all.

The two looked at each other.

Heidi's smile faded, and she raised the glass of red wine that was placed to the side: "To Mom."

Mike also picked up his whiskey and clinked glasses with Heidi across from him: "To Mom."

The two smiled and drank their wine in one gulp.

Heidi then asked Mike about the interesting things that happened during his trip to Norway, and Mike also asked about Heidi's life and work while he was not in New York.

The campfire burned slowly in the fireplace, and the occasional sound of laughter from two people could be heard from the restaurant.

The procedure after dinner was the same as usual.

After Heidi finished clearing the table, she went to the kitchen bar, sat down on a bar stool, and watched Mike taking on the washing tasks at the sink.

Just then.

Because she had drunk some red wine, Heidi, who was resting her chin on her hand, suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Mike, have you spoken to that Skyker agent on the phone recently?"

"Mary?"

Mike, who was washing the dishes, glanced at the phone, then nodded and said, "I called yesterday, Christmas Eve. How did it go?"

Heidi was curious when she heard this.

"Didn't you know? She didn't tell you?"

Tell me what?

"She almost died a while ago."

Heidi said in a low voice, "After the incident, she was rushed to the center's medical pod, but the doctors there could only do their best to maintain her vital signs. However, she eventually survived, supposedly thanks to Agent Coulson. Didn't you know about that?"

Mike, having cleaned the sink, pulled out a tissue to wipe the water from his hands as he listened to Heidi's news. He shook his head: "No, I don't know. Mary didn't tell me."

Heidi shrugged upon hearing this: "You should care, after all, she's your only female friend."

Only God knows how relieved Heidi was when she learned that Skye was Mike's female friend.

She was especially relieved after Mike also acknowledged this.

Because so far, Skye is Mike's only definite friend.

Focus.

She's a female friend.

The most important thing.

Who says female friends can't become girlfriends?

Although Mike has made it clear that he only considers Skye a childhood friend.

but……

There's no right answer when it comes to feelings. Maybe as time goes on, the word "girlfriend" or "friend" might erase the other word altogether.

That's what Heidi thought.

Mike wouldn't reveal the real reason why he and Skye could never be together, because no matter what, saying that reason would always make the other person feel uncomfortable.

However, when Heidi mentioned Skye's injury, the story brought to mind that Skye had indeed experienced a near-death experience in the plot, but was eventually recovered thanks to the 'GH-325 serum' made from Kree blood.

However, while the GH-325 serum, made from Kree blood, has the power to bring people back to life, it also has powerful side effects.

People who have been brought back to life by this GH-325 serum will subsequently suffer from polydipsia and other serious side effects.

However, Skye has no side effects.

Because Skye also carries some Kree genes, for Skye, injecting GH-325 serum is equivalent to a blood transfusion between people of the same race.

However, Skye is not a Kree.

She is an extraordinary person.

This is a race created by the Kree after they came to Earth a very, very long time ago, experimenting on humans and editing their genes.

The Kree originally created the Inhumans to be used as weapons, but for some reason, they left Earth. However, the Inhumans did not disappear; instead, they survived.

Skye was a member of the Inhumans, but she herself was unaware of this.

because--

"Jiaying!"

"What?"

"Um?"

Mike snapped out of his daze and looked at Heidi, who was leaning on the bar and looking at him.

Heidi frowned and asked, "What did you just say?"

Mike blinked. "I mean, I already have someone in mind when it comes to girlfriends. Skye and I are impossible, so..."

Before Mike could finish speaking, Heidi excitedly stood up: "Who is it? Where are they from? Do they have a Social Security number?"

Mike looked at Heidi's excited face and chuckled, "I'm not telling you, so don't rush me. Maybe I really can bring her back for Christmas next year."

He has no goals whatsoever.

But in order to avoid Heidi worrying about his love life, that was all he could say.

Every year we can postpone it is a year better than nothing.

We'll talk about next year's matters next Christmas.

After Mike finished speaking, he said goodnight to Heidi and then walked towards the stairs.

Heidi snapped out of her daze and looked at Mike, who had already gone up the stairs.

"Then hurry up and bring it home next Christmas."

"good!"

Mike raised his hand without turning his head, and then disappeared at the top of the stairs.

Well known.

Time always flies during holidays. In the blink of an eye, the Christmas holidays are over, and we have entered 2014 from 2013.

Another new day.

As usual, Heidi prepared breakfast and then drove off to work.

As usual, after finishing breakfast and cleaning up the table and kitchen, Mike went to the living room, sat on the sofa, and took out his phone.

He looked at Skye's phone number saved on his phone.

I thought about it.

I dialed the number!
