Four steaming cups of coffee were placed in front of everyone, and Hit-Girl was holding a cup of hot chocolate.
Except for Hit-Girl Mindy, the other four did not touch the drinks in front of them. The atmosphere was very awkward.
"I say, can everyone please relax a little first?" Jason picked up the coffee in front of him and said, trying to break the atmosphere.
"How about I tell you a joke about coffee first..." Peter tried to tell a joke to lighten the mood, but it seemed no one wanted to hear it. "Okay, I guess I'll tell it next time."
"Frank, can you calmly tell me why you beat Damon? Because he will be our partner in the future." Jason tried to get the two silent men to speak.
"The reason is simple, because of Mindy." Thankfully, although Frank still had a poker face, he was finally willing to speak.
"Because of Mindy?"
"Yes, how old is Mindy this year? Is she twelve years old? I don't think so." Frank said.
"I'll be twelve on Christmas!" Hit-Girl protested.
"Well, just treat you as a twelve-year-old kid. You know, I used to have a daughter who was the same age as you. If nothing unexpected happens, this Halloween will be the day she turns twelve."
Frank's tone when speaking to Mindy was very gentle, not at all his usual coldness.
"But those gangsters took her life! I will never see my daughter again. She should have grown up happily at an innocent age, but~but I will never see her again."
Jason and Peter had never seen Frank's current appearance. The tough guy showed his vulnerable side.
Frank covered his face with his palms, his tone full of deep sorrow.
"Oh~ Boss~ Boss, don't be like this." Spider-Man Peter patted Frank on the back, trying to comfort him.
Jason also patted Frank on the shoulder, trying to give him some strength.
"I'm sorry Frank, I didn't know you had an experience like this before." Big Daddy Damon now understood a little bit why Frank wanted to beat him up, so he spoke up.
"You should keep Mindy away from those dangers, otherwise you will lose her one day! Then I believe you will end your life in guilt!" Frank felt a little better and said to Damon.
"We shouldn't put children in danger, they should be protected until they are able to fly on their own."
"I don't agree with you on this, Frank. It's hurtful to say this, but you are so skilled. If you had trained your daughter at the time, maybe she wouldn't have encountered those gangsters."
Damon didn't completely agree with what Frank said, so he said.
"This world is very dangerous, so we need to let our children grow up faster and face the storms, so that they know the ugliness and cruelty of reality."
Damon's words and the way he educates Hit-Girl are Spartan education, cruel and bloody.
"So this is your reason for letting Mindy kill people?! Regardless of whether the person she killed deserved to die or not, you shouldn't let her do these things!" Frank argued, obviously angered by what Damon said.
"At her age, she should be in school, playing with other kids of her age. Then she should grow up healthily, meet a good boy, fall in love and get married. My responsibility as a father is to protect her from these storms!"
Hit-Girl couldn't help but roll her eyes and stick out her tongue and make faces when she heard what Frank said. She couldn't imagine how boring that kind of life would be.
"Okay, then Mr. Frank, did you do it? Didn't your daughter still get killed? Even though you are so powerful, it doesn't matter! Even though you can avenge your daughter, it doesn't matter! She is dead!"
"We can't protect our children forever! Mindy is not an ordinary child, she has talent. She shouldn't be relegated to an ordinary life! I believe that even if I die one day, Mindy will still be able to live well, because she is stronger than me! And this is the only thing I can teach her as a father!"
Damon's words obviously angered Frank, and Frank was about to rush up and wrestle with Damon.
Fortunately, Jason and Peter had already made preparations, so they separated the two before they could get together.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, calm down. Don't fight in front of the children, okay!" Peter said while dragging Frank.
Of course, Hit-Girl didn't think there was anything wrong with fighting in front of her, she even pulled out her butterfly knife, if Frank dared to go up and hit her father, she would definitely hit Frank with the knife.
"Calm down~Calm down!" Jason said after pushing them both back to their seats.
"What you two said makes sense, because you are both fathers. I believe that few fathers would harm their daughters."
"What Frank said makes sense. We shouldn't let Mindy be in danger all the time. It's too unsafe for her. But what Damon said also makes sense. This world is indeed very dangerous. It's also important to be able to protect yourself as soon as possible if possible."
Jason is trying to smooth things over, as he supports both sides.
"I have a suggestion, gentlemen. Damon, you are now on our team, so you don't have to worry about helpers. We should be more powerful than Hit-Girl. So there is no need for Hit-Girl to do any dangerous work anymore."
"And meanwhile, Hit-Girl Mindy. As you said, she is a very talented child. We can train her together. I am sure it will be even better than if you trained her alone."
"But it can only be training. She cannot participate in any actions. She should go to school and study hard, and make some friends of the same age. When she reaches adulthood, she will have her own decision-making power and can freely choose her own life. Instead of you or anyone else making the choice for her."
"Gentlemen, do you think this is okay?" Jason put forward a suggestion that was relatively feasible.
"Hey! Night Walker, you haven't asked me if I agree yet!" Hit-Girl Mindy is a very independent girl. She doesn't want to go to school or anything like that. It's too boring.
"I think this suggestion is feasible." Frank said. "If Damon insists on your way of education, I'm afraid I can only let you stay here first and let someone better adopt Mindy."
Big Daddy glared at Frank, but relented. "I think so, too."
"By the way, Mindy, which school are you attending?" Spider-Man Peter calmed down the furious Hit-Girl and asked her.
"Ha~ I never go to school!" Mindy said nonchalantly.
As soon as the words fell, Frank, who had been calm, showed signs of going berserk again.
Jason's cheeks are hurting now. His daughter-obsession is really terrible.
At the New York International Airport, Ms. Pepper, the senior administrative assistant of Stark Group, and Obadiah, the senior president of the group, are waiting for the return of an important person.
The rear door of the C130 was opened, and Tony Stark stepped onto the familiar land again with a confident smile, and Dr. Ethan followed behind him.
Tony decided it was time to bring something different into the world.
