Arthur parked the car at the side of the road and turned to look at the Black Widow.
She was still unconscious.
Arthur grinned. "Someone like you shouldn't be out this long. If you're planning to ambush me when I'm not paying attention, it's unnecessary. It's already 12:31. Everything is over."
Black Widow's eyes suddenly snapped open, and in the next second, a set of black, tight clothes flew toward her.
She caught the clothes and looked at them - it was her own outfit. "You're right. I shouldn't have been unconscious for so long."
"Anything's possible," Arthur chuckled. "Get dressed; you have a teammate to tend to."
Black Widow looked down, her expression a little strange as she silently dressed. "What happened?"
"Nothing much." Arthur tossed her a brooch and smiled. "I just disguised myself as you and took care of some things that needed to be done."
She caught the brooch and stared at Arthur in confusion.
Her phone rang, but she didn't answer it.
"Go ahead and answer it. It's probably Fury," Arthur said with a smile. "Hopefully he's not too upset."
Black Widow answered the call, said a few words and hung up. "Fury wants you to come over."
"Not interested. Maybe tomorrow."
Arthur stretched and said, "I told the others I'd be back today - well, technically yesterday. But because of all of you, I wasted a whole afternoon and evening. If I don't leave now, I may not have dinner tomorrow."
He opened the car door and stepped out. With a thought, another person appeared in the car. "Steve is your responsibility."
Steve was still unconscious and lay slumped in the back seat.
Black Widow followed him out of the car and remained silent for a long moment. "You tricked us all, didn't you?"
"It was a pure coincidence." Arthur chuckled. "But yes, that was my goal."
"You won't succeed every time."
"That's something you'll have to bet on. Or rather, it's up to Fury if he's willing to take that risk." Arthur smiled again. "Pass along a message for me: the girl's life is now tied to your 'big boss.' If you do anything to her behind the scenes, be prepared to find a new boss. I know there's no shortage of talent in America. There's no shortage of powerful people. But even if you send him into space, I can make sure he dies quietly. Weigh the consequences for yourself."
Black Widow could only watch as Arthur disappeared into the night.
After a moment of silence, she got back into the car and started the engine. Just then, Steve groggily woke up in the back seat. "Instructor...?"
"I'm not," Black Widow said, taking a deep breath. "What exactly happened?"
"I don't know." Steve rubbed his head. "Honestly, I was just about to ask you."
"I went to the bathroom and got knocked out," Black Widow said with a dark expression. "He was hiding in the ladies' room."
Steve blinked, then smiled wryly. "So he disguised himself as you and knocked me out in the car? I guess you don't know what happened after that..."
"But I can imagine," Black Widow said, exhaling deeply. "No one would have expected him to impersonate me, so no one was on guard. He had plenty of time to do what he wanted. We underestimated him."
"Never underestimate the Instructor," Steve said as he looked out into the night. His expression wasn't embarrassed, just calm. "Because those who underestimate him are already dead."
...
...
In truth, Arthur did more than the Black Widow imagined.
For starters, he wasn't hiding in the women's bathroom. He was in the men's room.
The original target wasn't Black Widow, but any agent who might show up. If no one came for a while, he planned to grab a random agent and continue his mission.
However, Black Widow unexpectedly went to the restroom, which caught him by surprise. Seizing the opportunity, he decided to adjust his plan.
Their body types were very different, and no one could have imagined that he could disguise himself as a woman.
Most of the wireless earpieces used by agents were identical, but Arthur's had an extra function. It could record a person's voice and, after processing the audio, change its own voice to mimic theirs.
It was one of Star-Lord's proudest creations. During three months of adventures in space, Arthur had used it to impersonate various people.
After knocking out Black Widow, Arthur even left a teleportation array on the bathroom floor, just in case.
Then, with Steve in tow, he was unsure where to take him next. Ultimately, he exposed his true voice, and before Steve could react in shock, Arthur knocked him out and stuffed him into the Disassembler space.
It turned out that putting people in the Disassembler Space while they were unconscious had two advantages.
First, no matter who it was, as long as they were unconscious, they could be put in there.
Second, when they woke up, they wouldn't feel dizzy or disoriented.
After solving the problem with Steve, Arthur rejoined Fury and the others and pretended to make plans together, setting up codes and preparing to defend against "Arthur".
During this time, Arthur, still disguised as Black Widow, took advantage of moments when no one was paying attention to place teleportation arrays in various locations - again, just in case.
To be honest, the hardest part of the whole process was imitating Black Widow. He wasn't familiar with everything around her, but he had to act natural and comfortable.
If it weren't for the countless times he'd seen Black Widow in the movies, he wouldn't have been able to get her mannerisms and tone right.
...
...
It was already 1:30 in the morning.
Arthur stood on a street in Queens and pulled his phone out of the Disassembler Space. When he had texted Fury earlier, he had seen the messages from Lily- over thirty of them.
They were all asking when he was coming back, wondering why he hadn't returned yet.
"She should be asleep by now, right?"
Arthur looked down at his phone, then up at the lights on the second floor, guessing what might be going on.
A key appeared in his hand as he unlocked the door and stepped quietly inside.
The living room on the first floor was empty.
The sofa, the coffee table, the television, and even the basement were just as he had left them, untouched.
But in the next moment, Arthur's expression fell and he sighed softly. There was someone upstairs, in the living room on the second floor... but their breathing was calm, as if they were peacefully asleep.
Releasing the Eye of Horus to scan the room, Arthur immediately appeared in the upstairs living room.
The coffee table in front of him was covered with all kinds of food, now cold and untouched.
Lily was still wearing her apron, her face dusted with white flour, holding her phone in one hand. She was lying diagonally on the sofa, sound asleep.
Arthur suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
He could picture the scene - this girl, clutching her phone, waiting for him to return, but he never showed up.
"She must be really mad."
Arthur crouched beside her, careful with his steps and his breathing, just watching her in silence. Then, for some reason, he smiled and whispered, "I'm back."
He decided to sit on the floor, leaning against the sofa. Without doing anything else, he felt a wave of relaxation wash over him, and soon he too fell asleep, completely at ease...

Arthur slept peacefully, feeling as if he hadn't even dreamed. He only woke up when he felt someone watching him, and when he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a sweet, delicate face and a pair of hastily closed eyes.
Trembling lashes and darting eyeballs silently betrayed her.
Arthur blinked, sat up and noticed that a blanket had fallen on his legs. He picked it up thoughtfully, then looked at Lily.
She wasn't wearing the same clothes as last night, and the flour on her face was gone.
Her disguise skills... were clearly not up to par.
Smiling, Arthur stood up, draped the blanket over Lily, and saw that it was already past nine o'clock.
The smell of food was wafting from the kitchen. When he went over, he found a bowl of noodles covered with a lid.
Sliced char siu, a large fried egg, and a few bok choy leaves made the dish look irresistible.
Lifting the lid, he took the bowl of noodles, sniffed it, and was immediately drawn in by the delicious aroma. He grabbed some chopsticks and began to eat.
The noodles had been sitting for a while and were slightly lumpy, but the taste was still perfect.
Just as he was halfway through, he heard soft footsteps approaching the kitchen door.
He looked up and locked eyes with Lily.
It was obvious from her gaze that she was nervous for a brief moment, but then her expression instantly changed to one of exaggerated ferocity.
She tilted her head and looked at Arthur with a "super fierce" expression. Her mouth opened as if to say something, but then she realized she couldn't find the words.
Arthur blinked. "Morning."
"...What's so 'morning' about it?" Lily rolled her eyes. "You slept like a pig! I even cooked noodles for you and couldn't wake you up. What were you doing last night? You said you'd be back in the afternoon, and I made a huge spread of food..."
She gestured as she spoke. "But you didn't eat a single bite. Hmph, thanks to you, we'll be eating leftovers for the next few days, and there'll still be enough to feed both of us!"
Although she had been quiet before, once she started talking, it seemed like she couldn't stop.
She went on and on, scolding Arthur for breaking his word, guessing where he'd been last night, and even accusing him of possibly flirting with other girls.
Arthur listened without feeling annoyed— in fact, he found it amusing. But one thing puzzled him: Why was she tilting her head like that? Taking advantage of a brief pause in her tirade, he finally asked the question, and Lily became even more frustrated. "You got back so late last night and didn't wake me up! I ended up sleeping on the couch all night in this weird position, and now my neck is stiff!"
Arthur blinked and said, "Well, you pulled off that 'weird position' perfectly."
Before Lily could reply, Arthur looked down at the empty bowl in his hands.
For some reason, a warm feeling spread through his chest...
Like a shadow without form suddenly finding a place to rest.
Here was someone who knew he had returned, who had prepared a table full of food for him, only to fall asleep waiting for him.
And even though her neck was stiff from the effort, she still made him a delicious breakfast.
For a moment, Arthur didn't know what to say to Lily. Something strange was stirring inside him, something he had never felt before.
This was... the first time in his life!
While Arthur was deep in thought, Lily hadn't noticed. She only noticed that Arthur was staring at her, and the words she had planned to say suddenly disappeared from her mind.
She felt like Arthur's gaze was burning her, and her face began to heat up.
But then she remembered something - before Arthur had stared at her, he had looked at the empty noodle bowl.
Suddenly, Lily exploded. "What the hell! Don't even think about it! You clean your own dishes, you idiot!"
Arthur was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. His shoulders shook as he laughed, and he obediently went to wash his own bowl.
"What's so funny... psycho!" Lily tossed her ponytail and started to walk away dramatically - forgetting about her stiff neck.
"My neck!!"
Lily rubbed her neck, tears welling in her eyes.
A large hand gently patted her head. "Come here, I'll massage it for you."
"Do you even know how?" Lily asked skeptically, looking at Arthur with doubt.
"Don't underestimate me. I'm pretty good at it," Arthur said proudly.
"What is there to be proud of?" Lily was filled with a strange confusion.
Arthur wasn't confident in many areas, but when it came to understanding the human body, he thought he could boast a little.
Under her doubtful gaze, it took less than five minutes for Arthur to ease the pain in Lily's neck.
"Hey? It really doesn't hurt anymore!"
Lily turned her neck in surprise. Once she was sure that the pain was completely gone, she nodded in satisfaction. "With this skill alone, the two of us will never go hungry."
The two of us?
Arthur blinked, feeling a little happy and yet strangely sensitive. Was he reading too much into something she said in passing?
The thought passed quickly when Lily spoke again. "What shall we have for lunch? As a thank you for fixing my neck, I'll make sure to reward you properly!"
"Well, thank you for that," Arthur said, rubbing his nose. Just as he was about to say more, his phone suddenly rang.
He looked at it and sighed. "Looks like I won't be able to stay for lunch."
Lily immediately turned around, her eyes filled with suspicion. "What are you doing at lunch?"
"Work stuff..." Arthur scratched his head. "But I'll definitely be back in time for dinner."
"Hmm... okay, good." Lily blinked, obviously not thrilled, but reluctantly agreed.
"By the way, can I cash in that neck massage thank you at dinner? I might bring a friend," Arthur said.
"A friend?"
When Lily heard that, for some reason she felt a sudden wave of nervousness and instinctively asked, "Male or female?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized it sounded wrong and quickly waved her hands. "I-I didn't mean it like that, I was just..."
"Male," Arthur said, suppressing a chuckle as he watched her lose her usual suspicious demeanor and become flustered. "He's an old friend."
"Oh... what does he do?"
Lily immediately felt her heart settle back into place.
"He's in the military," Arthur replied, getting to his feet. "I'll go change into something else. Dinner tonight... okay?"
"Of course!"
Lily grinned. "Whatever you want to eat, it's on me!"
She thumped her chest confidently.
