Chapter 20 [Ask Tony for Compensation]
Inside a hotel near the S.H.E.D. branch in New York.
"Ding Dong..."
"Ding Dong..."
With a rush of doorbells,
Chris got up from the bed, rubbed his eyes while yawning, and walked lazily to the bedroom door. With a "click", the door was opened. Skye leaned against the door frame, and one hand was stretched out, thinking about ringing the doorbell.
"Sky, why are you here so early?" Chris said, yawning all over the world. After returning from Nick Fry yesterday, he had been recalling memories of the bloodline of the big snake in his body.
"It's twelve o'clock in the afternoon, you're sleeping so hard, right?"
Skye looked at Chris with fluffy hair and frowned. Suddenly, she thought of Chris's powerful appearance last night, and once again showed curiosity: "Did you use the black and purple flame too frequently last night, overdrawn, and overdrawn your body?"
Body overdrawn...
Chris gave Skye a blank look, "How is it possible? I didn't sleep well last night. The bed is too soft and makes me feel very uncomfortable."
"No, I slept very comfortably yesterday." Skye had never slept in such a high-end hotel. After coming from the S.H.E.D. yesterday, she took a bath in the bathtub in the bedroom before going to bed. The process was so comfortable.
Suddenly, Melinda's voice came from behind her: "It seems you slept well yesterday."
Skye looked at Melinda and nodded with a smile, "It's not bad, are we still living here today?"
Melinda raised her wrist and glanced at the watch and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. We only paid one night and checked out at 2 pm. I hope you can pack your belongings in advance. There are still one and a half hours before checking out."
"I knew." Skye showed an expression that was indeed the case.
"We didn't bring anything here, except for this set of clothes." Chris looked at Melinda and asked, "Do you still have to keep monitoring me?"
"It's the caretaker." Melinda continued to face Chris' questioning with a cold expression.
“OK, care.”
Chris didn't argue with Melinda, but looked at Skye and said, "I'll go wash first. You'll wait for me in the room. When I finish washing, we'll go back."
After saying that, Chris opened the door and walked to the separate bathroom in the bedroom.
Skye walked in without any notice. When she saw Melinda following in, she said with a sarcastic expression: "Do you start blatantly surveillance?"
Melinda replied: "To ensure Chris' safety, we will be closer to protecting him in the near future."
"Get closer? Then do you want to arrange two people to sleep with Chris at night? In this way, you can protect him closely with your family."
Melinda did not answer Skye's sarcasm, but walked to the sofa and sat down.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Skyton felt bored and found a seat and sat down.
While waiting for Chris to wash up, Skye suddenly realized that last night, his RV was smashed into a big hole by a steel soldier. He immediately said to himself in sorrow: "I don't know how my hut is going, I'm afraid it will cost another money to repair it."
"You don't have to worry about this..."
Upon hearing this, Skye snatched the words, "Will you help me repair it?"
Melinda smiled evilly: "I mean, your RV doesn't need to be repaired, because it was already bombed with the self-destructing steel soldiers last night. If you pass by now, you might be able to see a tire or a steering wheel?"
"What! My hut is gone!"
When Skye heard Melinda's words, she opened her eyes wide in surprise, rubbed her body and stood up, and said angrily.
At this time, Chris finished brushing his teeth, tidied up his hairstyle, walked out of the bathroom, heard Skye's scream, and asked curiously: "What's gone?"
"Impossible... A RV that took me a year to work hard was ruined like this? My computer, my happy water, my snacks!!"
Skye felt heartbroken when she thought of computers, snacks and other items in the car.
"The RV is ruined?" Chris looked at Melinda with a questioning look.
Seeing the questioning in Chris's eyes, Melinda honestly told the situation last night: "It was caused by the steel soldiers of Hammer Industry. Each of them had a self-destructing device installed. When Tony subdued Ivan Vanke, the self-destructing device was activated, almost destroying half of the buildings and exhibition halls of Stark Expo.
There was nothing wrong with the parking lot, but yesterday a steel soldier was beaten down by Stark and directly hit the roof of your RV. So after the self-destruction device was started, your RV was destroyed to ashes."
Melinda was a little scared deep in her heart. After all, the other party was the controller of extraordinary power, and the angry figure of the other party yesterday gave her a deep impression, knowing that Chris was just a kind person who was irritable on the surface and was irritable on the inside.
When he heard that the culprit was Tony Stark, Skye's delicate face suddenly showed a ferocious look: "Tony Stark!!"
She no longer cared about who controlled the steel soldiers. The only thing she cared about was the sentence Melinda said just now, "The steel soldiers shot by Stark fell into your RV and caused the RV to be destroyed." So Skye subconsciously pushed everything to Tony Stark, a harmful spirit.
Chris knew what that RV meant to Skye. After all, she spent a whole year saving money to buy a second-hand RV. No matter what the value is, it was Skye's hard work.
Seeing this, Chris sat down and said to Melinda: "Can you reimburse your department for this situation?"
“Can you reimburse me?”
When he heard Chris say the word "reimbursement", Skye woke up from his grief and looked at Melinda with anticipation. He hoped deep down that the other party could say "yes."
Melinda hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Sorry, this has nothing to do with our department, and we are not the civil affairs department. If you want to get compensation, you can contact the insurance company or the police station to see if Stark will compensate for the losses of the attack."
"I forgot to buy insurance!"
When he mentioned the word insurance, Skye regretted it. When he was buying a car, the manager asked whether he needed to buy a car insurance. However, Skye hated the manager very much at that time, so she decided to go to the insurance company to handle it himself. But who knew that he forgot as he lived through it, and then he had an experience at the expo.
"Oh no!" The sad Skye suddenly exclaimed again: "My money, all my money is in the bag."
Chris thought that he didn't seem to look at Skye's backpack yesterday: "What about your bag?"
"My bag...wuwu...my bag is in the car! Ah, it's gone, it's gone, and even the computer that I have followed me for five or six years is gone. I have no way to make money. Do you really have to do odd jobs?!"
As he spoke, Skye felt wronged and wanted to cry. He just wanted to go to the expo to see the world. Who knew that he would lose everything overnight and nothing was gone.
Chris looked at Skye sad, and felt bad. He had been raising Skye for a while recently, so he couldn't let her sleep on the streets. He originally had 5,000 US dollars from Colson, but he gave it to Skye the day before yesterday, and it seemed that he had put it in the car.
Chris looked at Melinda and asked, "What kind of god you... the land department can help us temporarily solve the problems of accommodation and meals?"
Melinda was stunned. She didn't expect Chris to say this. She wanted to laugh, but she still held back and pondered for a few seconds and said, "I can apply to our director to see if I can help you solve the food and accommodation problem for the time being."
"never mind..."
Chris suddenly thought that if Melinda reported this to Nick Fury, the other party would definitely agree, and then he would owe the other party a favor.
Chris is a person who doesn't like trouble. He knows that the world is dangerous, and at the same time, he also knows that SHIELD is the biggest dangerous place. After thinking about it, he said: "Agent May, you don't have to report to your director. Don't you know Tony Stark's phone number? I want to talk to him about compensation."
When he heard that he wanted to pay compensation from the rich Tony, Skye wiped the corners of his eyes without tears and said excitedly: "Yes, look for Tony Stark, Chris, you saved his girlfriend yesterday. I think he will definitely be willing to pay us a new RV."
Melinda shook her head slightly and said, "I don't have Stark's contact information."
"Colson should have."
Chris suddenly realized that Colson seemed to be getting closer to Tony Stark, so he took out a cell phone from his trouser pocket and opened the contact person. There were only three numbers in it, Skye, Colson, and Melinda.
“Dudu…”
"Chris, are you going to pay me back?"
After dialing the phone, when Chris was about to speak, he was stunned by what Colson said first. After a long time, he said, "I didn't talk about this when I asked you."
Colson, far away in New Mexico, squatted down and looked at an object in the deep pit that looked a bit like a hammer, and said to the phone: "Oh? What is that? And I'm not your guardian now. If you have any needs, you can contact Mei directly. I think Mei's mobile phone number should be stored in my phone."
"Agent May can't solve this problem. I want to ask you for Tony Stark's contact information or Miss Pots' phone number."
"Look for Tony?" Colson frowned, and couldn't figure out how Chris was involved with Tony. After thinking about it, he did not directly refuse or agree to Chris, but said, "Chris, wait for me for a while. I have something to do here. I'll call you later."
“Hey…”
Before Chris could keep him, Colson hung up the phone.
