Chapter 480 Let’s Move to Queens
Leaving the driver and his rival, the unlucky Mr. Bando, behind her, Lainie put on her sunglasses again and stood in front of Uncle Ben's house, reaching out and knocking on the door twice.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"It's me, Aunt May."
The people in the room heard that it was Lainie, so they were relieved and walked to the door and opened it.
Aunt May looked at the girl in front of her who hadn't seen her for a long time, and her expression on her face suddenly became happy. She hurriedly took Lainie's hand and let her in.
"Why do you have time to come here? Have you finished the things at the company?"
Take off the coat on her body and hand it to Aunt May. Lainie put the pistol on her waist into the warehouse in the astonished eyes of the other party.
"I handled a case before coming here, and I need it for self-defense."
After explaining, Lainie casually took out a Black Forest cake that was packed in the restaurant in advance from the warehouse.
"This is for you."
Looking at the girl in front of her with concern, Aunt May hung Lainie's coat and took the cake.
Since the New York War, Aunt May and her family have known that Lainie has some kind of magical spatial ability, which allows her to take things anytime and anywhere, so they are not surprised that Lainie can take things out of thin air.
But Aunt May is actually worried about Lainie's safety. She now knows that Lainie's past identity is not only a researcher at Stark Company, but also a senior agent of SHIELD, and she often appears in some particularly dangerous places.
However, Lainie is only 24 years old this year, and she runs around in various dangerous environments every day. This is really...
Seeing Aunt May's worry, Lainie smiled comfortingly and took Aunt May into the living room.
"Don't worry, my strength is very strong. You still remember Thor, the God of Thunder, he may not be able to beat me 100%."
Aunt May reached out and touched Lainie's forehead lovingly. She sighed and finally didn't say anything more, but took the initiative to turn the topic to what happened a few days ago.
"... You didn't know that so many people in suits suddenly gathered outside the door. I thought it was Mr. Fisk who wanted to cause trouble for you!"
What Aunt May said was actually what happened when Lainie and Tony and others went to Florida to fight Killian.
At that time, Killian not only sent people to attack the Slingshot Base, but also sent people to Uncle Ben's house in Hell's Kitchen, New York, in order to force Lainie to surrender by kidnapping Uncle Ben's family!
Fortunately, Lainie, who realized the problem in advance, had Coulson arrange for someone to take Uncle Ben and his family away for protection, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Those are my colleagues in S.H.I.E.L.D., and thanks to them, otherwise I would be threatened by those bad guys."
Laini did not explain the details of the incident afterwards, but just evaded it on the grounds of confidentiality.
However, Aunt May and Uncle Ben still judged the identities of these people through their clothes and documents, otherwise Uncle Ben would never let them in.
"Alas, when we came back later, we found that the house was in a mess. Every room in the house had been searched, and the cabinets and boxes had been turned over, making a mess..."
Sighing, Aunt May now recalled the scene at that time, and she was still afraid.
If it weren't for Lainie's preparation in advance, their family might have been...
Hearing this, Lainie also fell silent.
She was indeed responsible for this. Before the incident, she only considered Tony's side, but ignored Aunt May and them, and almost involved them in this storm.
After thinking for a moment, Lainie couldn't help but bring up the matter of moving again.
"Aunt May, why don't you and Uncle Ben move? I bought a property for you in Queens, and you can move there."
"This..."
Looking at Lainie's eager eyes, Aunt May pondered for a moment but still didn't say the refusal.
In the past, the couple refused to move because they couldn't give up everything here. However, after everything that happened in the past few days, Aunt May couldn't help but tilt the scale in her heart towards Lainie.
"Besides, if I remember correctly, little Parker will soon go to middle school. I have also found a school there, where little Parker can get a better education."
Seeing Aunt May's line loosening, Lainie immediately began to pursue the victory.
"Although the security environment in Hell's Kitchen is much better, the quality of education is still not as good as other places. You and Uncle Ben are getting older, and you can't always drive to and from school to pick him up. If you move to Queens..."
Aunt May was silent, but it was not difficult to see from her expression that she was indeed moved.
Aunt May didn't care about the house, but she cared about the future education of little Parker.
All the young people the family knew were successful, not to mention Lainie who graduated from MIT.
Even the two girls that Lainie brought back before, aren't they also very academically advanced in their respective fields?
Aunt May didn't want little Parker to drop out of school and enter the society at a young age like the kids on this block.
If she could choose, she certainly hoped that little Parker would enter MIT like Lainie.
Therefore, Aunt May finally acquiesced to Lainie's statement and approved Lainie's proposal to move for the first time in many years.
However, she didn't make a decision immediately, but looked out the window.
"Let's wait for your Uncle Ben to come back and ask Parker's opinion before making a decision."
Soon after, Uncle Ben drove back, and Parker came back with him holding the skateboard that Lainie had given him before.
Uncle Ben, who didn't see Lainie's car and didn't know Lainie was at home, habitually hung his clothes on the hanger by the door after entering the house.
However, a brand-name beige coat that he had never seen before caught his attention. He frowned and then noticed the shoes on the ground at the door.
"Honey, are there guests at home?"
He asked without turning his head, but the response was not his wife's familiar voice, but Parker's surprised shout.
"Sister Lainie! Why are you here!"
Looking at the familiar figure sitting on the sofa, Parker smiled for a while, threw the skateboard in his hand to the ground, ran to the living room and threw himself into Lainie's arms.
The scene in the New York battle before made this little guy worried, and Lainie took a lot of effort to coax this kid.
Looking at the brat in her arms, Lainie had no choice but to touch the boy's head helplessly and said with a smile:
"You miss our little Parker, don't you? How is it, does little Parker miss me?"
"Yes!"
After getting a satisfactory answer, Lainie reached out from behind and took out a photo signed by Tony and Rogers, and handed it to the boy.
"Here, a reward for you."
"Wow! It's Mr. Stark and Captain America!"
Recognizing who was in the photo at a glance, little Parker kissed it happily, and immediately ran back to his room and put it on his bedside.
Looking at the back of the little guy leaving, Lainie couldn't help but sigh in her heart, children, it's better to be carefree...
...
"Move to Flushing?"
Uncle Ben was stunned after hearing Lainie's previous suggestion.
"Yes, I have found a school there. The teaching quality there is very good, and little Parker is of school age, so I hope you can move there."
Laini continued to persuade Uncle Ben with the same method she used to persuade Aunt May, and the effect was the same.
Uncle Ben looked at little Parker curled up on the sofa, and his heart was still a little tangled.
He also knew that Lainie was doing this for their own good, and the previous incident was an example.
Now Lainie, as an Avenger, is no longer the same as before, but behind the glamorous and beautiful, it is inevitable that many people who can't be offended will be offended.
Whether it is for little Parker or for their safety, moving is obviously imperative.
But he still worries about his old friends, and old Duke is just one of them.
Seeing the entanglement in Uncle Ben's heart, Lainie smiled slightly and held Uncle Ben's big hand.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ben, I have already told Fisk to find some people to arrange for Uncle Duke and his men. No matter whether it is the store or their house, they don't have to worry about security issues in the future."
Laini did not lie about this. Since the New York War, Kingpin has been completely convinced by Lainie.
He originally thought that the so-called SHIELD in Lainie's mouth was at most better than the FBI and CIA, but he didn't expect that they could even beat aliens!
Therefore, after contacting Lainie later, Kingpin repeatedly promised that there would never be any bad incidents in Hell's Kitchen again in the future!
"Ah..."
Looking at Lainie's expectant eyes, Uncle Ben pondered for a moment and finally agreed.
"Well, as you said, we will move."
