"Qiqi, call me once you meet up with Tony so I know you're safe."
Carrying a large bag of Qiqi's usual toys and clothes, Lin Ze took her hand and led her to the roof of Stark Tower. A helicopter was waiting there. Tony's people would take Qiqi to the airport first, then fly her to Nepal on a private jet.
"...I'll remember."
Qiqi nodded obediently.
As the two approached the helicopter, someone jumped out.
"I'm here to pick you up, little Qiqi!"
He walked up to Lin Ze and took the bags from him.
"Sam? What are you doing here?" Lin Ze asked in surprise.
Wasn't this his good friend Falcon, whom he'd met during the operation to take down Hydra? Why was he moonlighting for Tony now?
Sam wore a black trench coat and sunglasses, looking incredibly cool.
He took off his sunglasses and greeted Lin Ze. "Ta-da! Surprised? I wasn't doing anything at home anyway, and Stark happened to ask if I could escort Qiqi. He also said he'd upgrade my mechanical wings 'while he was at it' once he got back. So here I am."
"So that's how it happened. I'll leave Qiqi in your hands, then."
"Don't worry. Is this everything? You haven't forgotten anything, right? It'll be too late if you remember after we leave."
Sam lifted Qiqi into the helicopter, put headphones on her, and fastened her seat belt before climbing in himself.
"That's everything. Qiqi doesn't have much, just a few outfits. If she wants something to drink, there's Coconut Milk in the bag. That's all she can have; she can't eat anything else."
Lin Ze gave him detailed instructions. "That's about it. Remember to let me know when you arrive. Sorry for the trouble."
"Got it!" Sam waved. "We're off. Bye!"
