Bucky wanted Leo to build an armor for him to play with but after thinking for a bit, he didnât voice it out. Because he knew Leo could take initiative to give him, but not him taking the initiative to ask. He wasnât dumb as a suit of armor capable of resizing and flying definitely was too advanced for common sense.
Leo didnât hide it from him and it was already a very trusting act to him. If Leo was fine with it, Leo would voluntarily build a suit of armor for him.
In a short time, Leo brought Bucky to Washington and hovered right above S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ. When he departed from New York earlier in the morning, he had phoned Natasha to set up a meeting place which was her dormitory.
Natasha was still a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent albeit her rank and authority were lowered. But S.H.I.E.L.D. wasnât that bad enough to deprive her of her accommodation.
Then, holding the Capsule House in hand, he carried Bucky to S.H.I.E.L.D.âs dormitory area.
He wasnât in a hurry to enter the room, he circled outside the room instead. Compared to previous times when he came visiting, there werenât any soldiers standing guard outside of Natashaâs room and the soldiers around the building had also withdrawn.
It seemed Natashaâs investigation had truly ended.
Then, he flew in through the gap in the doorway with ease while carrying Bucky.
Once entered, he was greeted by a spacious and bright living room. The living roomâs floor was cleaned and on the balcony at the end of the living room were a few pots of flowers that were in the blooming season.
And currently, Natasha was curled up on the sofa against the wall, watching the TV in boredom. In front of her was a box of pizza and there were two slices of pizza in it which probably was Natashaâs leftovers from lunch. Although there were two slices of pizza in the box, the toppings on them were gone.
Twitching his mouth involuntarily, Leo returned to his original size. He removed Viper Mark VII and stored it in his belt along with the Capsule House before sitting right next to Natasha.
Natasha subconsciously distanced herself from Leo with a tense body and clenched fists. When she saw the intruder was Leo, she relaxed and complained, âAre you a ghost? Itâs frightening.â
Chuckling, Leo replied, âIf Iâm not a ghost, how should I silently bring you to meet Fury?â
Natasha was interested and immediately sat straight, âHow are you going to bring me to Fury? Donât tell me youâre giving me a suit of armor? Although I donât know how to control it⌠I can try learning it.â She was quite excited.
âDream on!â Leo glared, âMy armor cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars. You still owe me four million, and yet you still want to owe me more money? Can you afford it?â
Flaring her nostrils, Natasha rolled her eyes.
Seeing Natasha wasnât replying, Leo stopped messing with her and took out the Capsule House with a wave and resized it into palm-sized in his palm. He said, âThis house is called the Capsule House. It also can resize and youâll be entering this house later on and then, I can silently bring you to Fury.â
Girls love pretty things. Thus, Natashaâs eyeballs were instantly attracted by Capsule Houseâs exquisiteness. Without saying anything, she nicked the Capsule House from Leo and fondled it in her hands, evidently in love with it.
But this made Bucky suffer as when he heard Natashaâs voice, he was going to greet her. However, he felt the sky was turning before he managed to utter anything and could only tightly grip the clothesline with his hands before his body began turning 720 degrees.
âNatasha, stop turning it! Iâm going to puke!â Finally, Bucky couldnât resist it and yelled.
Abruptly, Natasha stopped rotating the Capsule House and held it while looking at Leo puzzledly, âWhy did I hear a mosquito buzzing in the house?â
Leo stayed silent and shrugged while not bursting into laughter. In fact, he was going to reply that that mosquito even knew English!
Right now, Bucky was helpless when he heard Natashaâs booming voice outside the house.
But to prevent Natasha from treating his voice as a mosquito buzzing again, he shouted loudly, âNatasha, itâs Bucky Barnes! Your mentor! Iâm in the house, stop shaking it! Iâm going to puke!â
Then Bucky sighed depressingly, âWhat have I done to deserve this!â
This time, Natasha clearly heard the voice coming out of the house. With a disbelieving face, she raised the house to her eye level and saw the deflated Bucky sprawling on the floor through the tiny window.
Her eyes widened abruptly while Bucky saw a two-meters wide giant eyeball.
Leo on the side burst into laughter and said, âHow is it, Natasha? Surprise?â
âLeo, let me out now!â Bucky plopping in the house shouted.
Receiving the house from Natashaâs hand, Leo shifted the coffee table in the living room aside and waved his hand, making the Capsule House a bit larger and opening its door.
Bucky grumbled while exiting the house before realizing something was wrongâŚ
âIsnât this couch a bit too high?! It reached my chest! Huh⌠Why am I as tall as Natashaâs thigh?!â
Dumbfounded for a long while, Bucky finally cried at Leo, âLeo, can I still turn back? Am I going to be a midget forever?â
Leoâs mouth was grinning widely and happily, he answered, âNo, if you want to be a three-meter tall giant, I can help you with that. Itâs just that the living room is a bit too small for the house. Hence the funny⌠Sorry, the unexpected circumstances.â
Twitching his lips, Bucky returned to the house begrudgingly. Staying outside another second was an insult to his height.
Natasha was astonished during the entire process. In the end, she forcefully snapped herself out of the daze and swallowed her saliva.
She carefully asked, âLeo, you wonât transform me into a tiny creature and treat me like a pet, right?â
âNo, whatâs wrong with all of your brains? Am I that kind of personâŚâ Leo powerlessly retorted.
Based on what he watched in his past life, those superheroes werenât worried about these kinds of stuff at all! The only similar case was when Scott Langâs daughter treated an ant as a pet dogâŚ
Regardless, after Leoâs reassurance, Natasha believed him for the moment and agreed to board the Capsule House and shrunk to meet Fury. But just as she was going to enter the house, she was troubled again.
âLeo, how⌠am I going to enter?â Natasha pointed at the entrance that was as tall as her legs.
Spitting out his tongue, Leo prudently answered, âHow about you⌠crawl in?â
Natasha immediately glared dagger at him.
Leo added, âHow about we find an empty place, like the outskirts? Or does S.H.I.E.L.D. have a large, empty, and unsupervised warehouse?â
Such a warehouse definitely wasnât around and going to the outskirts was too time-consuming.
Ultimately, Natasha sighed and crawled into the house. The moment she entered, he realized the house was too small and she couldnât stand straight in the house. She could only curl up her legs and sat on the floor.
And Bucky was looking at Natasha with his jaw agape, filled with stupefaction. Because when Natasha sat, she was as tall as BuckyâŚ
Leo took a peek at the comical scene through the door and shut the door for them with a smile. This was the surprise he prepared for Natasha and Bucky. Everything was according to his plan.
âYou two, sit tight. Weâre going to meet Fury!â The next moment, the Capsule House suddenly shrunk alongside Leo. He grabbed the house and leisurely flew to the detention room where Fury was imprisoned.
He didnât dare to fly too fast, otherwise, Natasha might accidentally tumble due to inertia, and getting up was difficultâŚ
