Marvel World New Magneto

"This may be my last birthday party, and I hope you can come."

Because of Tony's invitation, Eric finally put down his sky palace design and came to the playboy's house.

As soon as he entered his game room, he was greeted by warm and noisy music.

"Welcome to my birthday party, Eric." Tony was also wearing a steel suit at home today. He turned the indoor lights to the darkest and put himself in the center of everyone's sight. Now he can see Eric from a distance. Rick entered the door, and immediately held the microphone in his hand and pointed at the visitor, shouting loudly to the crowd below. "This is my friend, the superhero---New Magneto!"

The crowd immediately screamed. Although Eric has always been low-key, he has saved more people in this city than Tony. He doesn't need to use a gorgeous style to perform himself, and he can still get many supporters here.

After embracing and taking photos with the lively and enthusiastic girls, Eric finally came to the corner of the room with the help of Pepper, and watched Tony's crazy tricks from a distance through a translucent Japanese screen.

"Look at him, he's crazy, he can't control himself at all, I thought he was drinking or taking some inappropriate drugs at first, but I didn't expect it to be like this all this time." Pepper stared back Tony, who was having fun with the DJ, waved his arms vigorously to vent his grievances.

"Or I never really knew him. Maybe for an ordinary girl like me from the countryside, the world of metropolitan billionaires is still too far away." Pepper's tone was full of resentment.

"I think he just wants to vent the pressure." Eric replied casually, shaking his glass.

"What kind of pressure can't be shared?" Pepper retorted immediately.

"That's the unsolvable pressure." Eric said in a very low voice, and continued to taste the cold liquid.

"What's the matter with you two, each of you is mysterious, last time Tony refused to tell me the truth, you must answer me today, otherwise I will never believe your words." Pepper shook violently Her golden hair shone softly in the dim light.The pearl necklace on her chest was also swaying with the twisting of her body. When she finally stopped and grabbed Eric's hand to ask him to give an explanation, her breathing became a little short of breath.

"Actually, this question is very obvious. With your wisdom, you can't guess it. You dare not face it. So you have to use my mouth to say it?" Eric looked at Pepper quietly, and Miss Potts grabbed The hands holding his arm tightened suddenly, and then loosened weakly.

Pepper is not a fool, and Tony is choosing a successor, and his behavior is so abnormal, she can see what his behavior of arranging the next thing means, plus Eric's hint.She had long had terrible suspicions.It's just that Tony kept avoiding it, and she didn't dare to face it. Today, she was finally about to come into contact with that terrible reality.

In an instant, she became flustered, her face was as pale as if she had lost blood, her blood pressure dropped sharply and her whole body was cold, even after she had applied antiperspirant, she couldn't stop sweating profusely.

Eric could feel the tide in her palm.

"Men's psychology is different from that of women. The more they care about people, the less they want them to worry. You think we have no pressure. In fact, we just don't want you to find out." He said slowly, and a sentence drifted into Pepper's voice in the ears.

Pepper mechanically took the martini from Eric.After gulping it down, she coughed violently. She was so nervous that it was difficult for her to accept this quiet medicine.

"You?" Pepper asked subconsciously. Now her legs are a little weak, and she doesn't know how to face Tony. She can only use the opportunity of talking with Eric to adjust her mood.

"Of course, you don't think I'm really made of steel, do you?" Eric smiled, he withdrew his hand from patting Pepper's vest, and raised his glass to Tony from afar through the screen.

"Everyone in New York now knows that I'm a superhero, the leader of my people, and I'm going to fight for them, but I'm afraid no one knows that I don't like taking too much responsibility. I'm used to fighting for myself, I am also willing to protect those around me, but I am not the kind of saint who would do anything for my fellow man, never have been.”

"Then what kind of person are you?" Pepper looked at Tony, then at the man next to him.

"Actually, I'm a very selfish person." Eric looked at the dim light and replied slowly. "My world revolves around myself. Outside of me are my relatives, parents, children, wife, etc. I don't need any reason to love them in my own way; and then my best friend, Including my students, the common experience and mutual understanding make them have an important place in my heart, but this level is slightly lower than the previous one."

"Then comes the other people I know and like, and so on, until my so-called countrymen, they are just symbols to me, I don't even know them, and I sympathize with what happened to them, And feel pity from the bottom of my heart, but this kind of feeling is not so much that I care about their fate, it is better to say that it comes from my concern for myself, and I don’t really intend to give up everything for them.”

"Your compatriots will be disappointed. They see you as a savior. Although most of us are like this, few people have the courage to speak so clearly and directly as you." Pepper shook her head and sighed, she Finally regained her breath, and now she didn't need Eric to hand her another drink to calm her shock, she picked up a glass of whiskey by herself.

"No, they won't." Eric said indifferently. "I don't intend to inspire them and then send young people to the battlefield. I want them to survive and become the trend of the world. In the process, everyone will interpret the world according to their own needs, and they will find their own way for my words. reasons until I explain my intentions more in line with their position."

"Sounds like an egoist." The alcohol soothed the nerves, and the tension and troubles were as hazy as a layer of fog. Pepper stared at Tony who was shooting the wine bottle with a palm cannon like a madman for a while, and she tilted her head. Legs, the beautiful and clear leg lines are exposed.

"Actually, that's who I am," Eric admitted frankly. "So when I have to beware of the conspiracy of those guys with bad intentions, and at the same time I have to arrange the lives of these strangers, I am under a lot of pressure, because I have never had the so-called sacred sense of mission to help me Regardless of the difficulties, I just want to change their fate and avoid myself falling into such a quagmire one day - so you see, Tony and I are both under pressure, but I am better than him in finding a dispatch that suits me Way."

"How did you do it? Teach me, I'm also very distressed." Pepper leaned closer and asked, her cheeks were a little red, and her breath exuded a fragrant smell of alcohol.

"You really want to know?" Eric looked at her deeply, his bright eyes reflecting a crystal light.

"No, I don't want to...".

Pepper really wanted to say that, but her throat seemed to be hoarse, and her body was limp and powerless.

After a while of confusion, her person was already held in Eric's arms and kissed gently.

"Come on, Eric," Pepper gasped, and soon fell into Eric's hands again.

Pepper was relieved by the sequence of kisses, and at the same time she felt guilty, as if she had betrayed poor Tony by doing so.This is a remote corner, and a thin screen separates the cheers that are rising like a tide outside, and she is very afraid that she will not be able to help but plunge into it and cannot extricate herself.

Eric ignored her, and continued to lower his head until he kissed her face and ears.

"Is it better now?" Eric asked softly.

Pepper's eyes were confused with some uneasiness. Fortunately, the situation outside had changed drastically. Tony's friend Roddy put on a spare steel suit and broke in angrily to fight with his unlucky friend. Originally The cheering people fled in all directions, and it happened that no one found out what happened to them.

Helping the delirious Pepper to the lounge, Eric came back again. When he entered the game room, Tony and Roddy were fighting fiercely to the last moment. The palm cannons collided with each other and sent out a huge shock wave, turning the room All the glass inside and outside was shattered.

The fluctuation of energy automatically separated in front of Eric, and now the place is empty, only the faint light from the ceiling remains.

Rody got up from the ground, glanced at Eric, and said nothing. Under his control, two flames erupted from the bottom of the war machine, and carried him through the big hole in the roof to the night sky.

Tony lay motionless on the ground. In fact, he was not seriously injured. The steel suit protected his body very well, but he just had no strength. When he saw Eric approaching, his eyes did not fluctuate, as if he was about to swallow. As exhausted as the man who breathed his last.

"Are you satisfied with such a birthday party?" Eric asked looking down at him.

"You don't understand, Eric."

Tony was silent for a while before half sitting up: "When you look down on all living beings in the sky, this is just a talent you are born with. You can feel ordinary, but I can't do it. Strength, freedom, unrestrained, this kind of It feels like I can't let it go. It's all so good, it's the only way I feel alive."

He sighed deeply, then his chest tightened, and half of his body sat up. In his astonished sight, the shrapnel that had accumulated near the heart, which even the most skilled cardiac surgeon could not completely remove, all melted away. It turned into bursts of metal mist and escaped through the muscles and skin on his chest.

"I can understand your feelings. I came to this world for this reason." The metal mist turned into a smooth ball and floated up. Eric stared at it and said faintly, his eyes were a little dim, To him, Tony was like a mirror, from which another self was reflected.

"Thank you." Although he didn't understand what he was talking about, Tony still expressed his gratitude, and it was a good thing to be able to escape these nasty metal pieces before he died.

Then he heard Eric's proposal.

"Tell me now if you're still going to risk your life being your Iron Man—if I give you the chance to choose from scratch."

Tony froze for a moment and raised his head, his eyes were as cool as water. (to be continued~^~)
