Chapter 327
Long Island, New York, here is a quiet and peaceful residential area. It is the best place to live in New York. With super high vegetation coverage, there are tall broad-leaved sycamores and cedars on both sides of the community road.
At different times of the year, the plants here will show different styles.
Long Island is also the area with the lowest crime rate in New York, someone once said. Long Island is the only place in New York where you don't feel so scared to go out after twelve o'clock at night.
Because of the superior natural environment and super high security. Long Island has become one of the preferred areas for wealthy people in New York to live. There are a large number of middle- and high-income earners here.
This is where Steve Rogers currently lives in New York. Since he received his first month's salary, he has moved out of the S.H.I.E.L.D. staff apartment.
Because unaccustomed life is difficult to correct in a short period of time. You can think of Rogers as a bit old-fashioned. He prefers to read newspapers for news rather than the mobile phone network.
He spends more time listening to the radio than playing computer and watching TV as part of his entertainment. He prefers the old-school donuts with just frosting over the fancy, chocolate-covered, or new-style donuts filled with flavors from street bakeries these days.
This is a habit he has developed in his life for more than 20 years, and it is difficult to change it overnight. Just like Rogers prefers to open the window of his residence every day, and he can see a large green vegetation outside.
His family lived in the suburbs of New York in the 1930s. At that time, there were still a lot of primary forests in the suburbs of New York, not all of them had been cut down as they are now.
The staff apartment of S.H.I.E.L.D. opens the window to see the bustling and noisy streets of New York City. Crowds of people in a perpetual rush to work and traffic jams forever.
So Rogers asked Coulson to find a suitable place for him early on. Rogers rented a decent-sized apartment on Long Island. The living environment here is similar to the environment he likes, and this kind of place makes him feel more at ease.
Of course, the rent of an apartment in Long Island has never been cheap. The monthly rent for this apartment of about 90 square meters is about more than 5,000 US dollars.
This apartment is big enough for a single person to live in, but the apartment that used to be very spacious in the past seems a bit crowded today.
"Barton, no. Hill does not agree to approve the one million dollar budget." Rogers said apologetically to Hawkeye lying on the sofa.
"SHIELD's budget is tight, and Hill asked you to figure out a way. She said that you promised Deadpool a million dollars in remuneration without the approval and filing of the financial department. I gave you a million."
Barton lay weakly on the sofa. "This is for the Bureau. It is impossible for me to pay Deadpool a million dollars myself. And where did I get him a million dollars?"
Coulson said while lying on a single sofa and watching TV. "Acknowledge your fate, Barton. If Hill makes a decision, she will never change it. She is more stubborn than Nick in this regard."
"I agree with what Coulson said. Hill is the worst leader I've ever seen." Natasha, a black widow with beautiful red hair and a very good face and figure, leaned against the wall, He was still holding a can of beer taken out of the refrigerator in Rogers' apartment.
"Hey~ wait. Why did you all come to my house? Forget about Hawkeye, why are you here with Coulson and Natasha?" No wonder Rogers felt that the living room was a bit crowded.
"Because of Deadpool." Coulson had a disgusted expression on his face. "It's none of my business that he spattered manure, welded the door, and sprayed red paint on Barton's apartment. But his manure stinks."
"Did he really throw shit? I thought Hawkeye was exaggerating." Rogers thought that if this happened in front of his own house, no way! I can't think of it, I feel a little nauseous when I think of Rogers.
Natasha glanced at the beer in her hand, and silently found a place to put it down. "And he probably mixed garlic essence into those things, the kind you would use against vampires."
"That super-concentrated garlic essence that can be diluted a hundred times, the whole floor is filled with that terrible stench. And Coulson and I live on the same floor as Hawkeye. God, I don't want to say anymore. "Natasha vaguely felt her stomach twitching.
As the person concerned, Hawkeye instantly thought of the scene he had encountered when he returned home, and immediately jumped up from the sofa and ran to the toilet of the apartment, vomiting heavily.
The sound of vomiting seemed to have a contagious effect. Even Coulson and Natasha couldn't help their throats moving, and finally forcibly held back the desire to vomit together.
"Oh my God, I'm going to kill Wade! The smell of garlic essence will last for at least seven days before dissipating. The people in the logistics department can't get rid of that disgusting smell. There is also the red paint written on the front of my apartment." 'It's only natural to pay off debts'." Barton came out of the toilet with drops of water on his hands and face.
"Captain, let the Avengers assemble. Just arrest Wade and we'll be done." Natasha suggested.
Coulson and Hawkeye turned their gazes to Rogers, and Rogers could only speak. "No, Natasha. There's no way the Avengers can gather for such a trivial matter."
"Okay then, Captain. At least for the time being, I will stay at your house." Natasha twisted her waist and approached the captain, put a hand on his shoulder, and pressed her lips against Captain Rogers' ears. Said lightly.
"Of course, if you don't mind, we can sleep in the same bed." After speaking, he blew into Rogers' ear.
Rogers fled away in a little embarrassment, and Natasha smiled smugly.
"Oh, Captain. I think Hawkeye and I will be staying at your house for the time being. Of course, sleeping on the floor and sofa is enough for us." Coulson also said.
Rogers was a little helpless. "Why don't you find a way to give Wade a million first?" He said, looking at Barton.
Hawkeye said immediately. "If I had a million dollars, I would have given it to him. Deadpool is famous in the industry for being difficult. I don't want to stick to this gummy."
"Where's your money?"
"Captain, you need to know that it is impossible to reimburse me for everything in the bureau. For example, some special bow and arrow parts, and arrows. There are also some camouflage clothes and speedboats I bought."
"Why don't you reimburse me?"
"Because that's what Patton used to hunt deer and hunt in Canada when the hunting season came. The speedboat was used to hunt alligators in the legal hunting areas of the Great Lakes, and he also bought an air mattress before. New Mexico is also used for hunting. It also includes various other expenses, I’m not wrong.” Coulson mercilessly exposed Hawkeye’s habit of spending money lavishly.
"Ha! Stop talking about me, Coulson. You just bought a set of out-of-print Captain Rogers flash cards for $50,000 last month! Do you think I don't know?" Also exposed.
"Okay, gentlemen, please calm down." Natasha had to come forward to smooth things over.
"Stop talking about Barton! This is my hobby. Like Natasha, she paid for a full package of Madison Stadium tickets to watch games throughout the year, as well as football, baseball and ice hockey! We are here Healthy hobbies." Natasha was also inexplicably dragged into the water.
"Natasha and I knew you before you, Coulson. She doesn't like to watch these sports games at all. She just likes to see handsome muscular guys running around on the field!" Barton was a little speechless. These words instantly ignited Natasha.
"Enough! Shut up! You two sissies!" Natasha used a beautiful grappling technique to put the two big and three thick male agents. she snarled angrily.
"Don't think I don't know! When you are on duty, you use the S.H.I.E.L.D. network to hack into other signals, just to watch the Victoria's Secret Angel show!"
"You men can justly watch beautiful women walking around in sexy underwear. Is it okay for me to see some athletes sweating on the field!" Natasha is now like an angry lioness, which makes Coulson and Barton misfired instantly.
"Oh, I'm sorry." The two said together.
Rogers looked helplessly at his living room, which was already in disarray. The sofa that was overturned, the glass coffee table that was smashed by Natasha's grappling technique just now, and the potted plant that was overturned next to the TV. He has only lived in this house for a few months!
"So you mean that you have no money now? You don't even have a million together?" Rogers looked at the three of them helplessly and nodded together.
Rogers: "What about Iron Fist?"
Coulson: "Daniel is busy saving money to fight a lawsuit. He wants to get back the company his father left behind. This will require a lot of legal fees." Okay PASS.
Rogers: "How about the blade? I heard that he has exterminated many vampires. He may have some savings. You can borrow some from him first."
Barton: "He recently bought a house in New York City with a loan. He is about to marry Jen Kailin. It is said that the monthly mortgage payment will cost more than 30,000 US dollars." Well, that's not going to happen.
Rogers: "And what about Luke Cage?"
Natasha: "Don't mention him. He borrowed 50,000 dollars from me last month and didn't pay it back. He seems to be short of money all the time."
There is one white tiger left in the Avengers, and Rogers is no longer going to ask, it is probably the same as the above ones. They are all worthless goods.
"Huh~ hey!" The four of them sighed in unison.
"Forget it, I'll figure out a solution for this matter later." Rogers could only put this matter aside temporarily, and he spoke about the new measures he had heard from Hill before.
"Sill said that starting tomorrow, S.H.I.E.L.D. will cancel the supply of free coffee and donuts." Bang Dang, I don't know who broke a piece of porcelain.
"And the air-conditioning needs to be adjusted. I guess it will be in the state of not being cold enough and not being hot enough in the future." Bang Dang is another one.
"The dining system has also been changed, and the supper has also been changed. The payment of water, electricity, gas and self-service laundry will start to collect money."
Bang, bang, bang. Rogers buried his head very low, pretending not to hear.
He feels his new home is on the brink of ruin, will there be enough plates for dinner at night? He was skeptical.
He couldn't help but began to see who was smashing the dishes at his house, but now the three of Natasha seemed to be busy with other things, they quickly rummaged through their mobile phones.
Coulson: "Looks like there are three sites that need part-time programmers for web maintenance, hopefully they're not full yet."
Hawkeye Button: "What was the call from the archery club last time? See if they still need a coach."
Natasha: "Stark, Stark, Stark! Although he is a playboy, he is not my type. But he asked me to be his personal secretary, and the salary is still very good."
Captain Rogers finally gave up, and he could only lean on the sofa in vain. The team of heroes is not easy to lead!
Suddenly, an urgent news break appeared on the TV news, and the news anchor read the script with a serious face. "This is a breaking news."
"Since the last S.H.I.E.L.D. prison incident aroused widespread public concern, a new S.H.I.E.L.D. scandal has emerged recently."
"A hero who defended the city from supervillains during the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison incident recently had a very distressing incident."
"That's his salary dispute with S.H.I.E.L.D. It is said that S.H.I.E.L.D. has owed him a salary of one million dollars and has not paid him, and he is holding a sign at the gate of S.H.I.E.L.D. to protest. Now let's contact the reporters on the scene."
The TV remote control in Rogers' hand fell silently.
