New Flash Marvel Reborn

Chapter 15 Not The Flash

"I am Iron Man."

The footage of Tony Stark saying these words has been repeatedly broadcast on various TV stations for a day and a night, and Brad couldn't help but start to wonder if the remote control was broken after flipping through the same TV stations.

When he finally got the doctor's permission to leave the hospital, he let out a long sigh of relief and said to himself: I can finally leave this ghostly place!

He thought it was too long, but the doctors didn't think so.The doctor in charge of him sighed repeatedly that Stark Industrial's pharmaceutical industry was so good, and that such an injury recovered so quickly.Of course, he didn't know that it was just Tony fooling him. This terrifying recovery speed was actually due to Brad's astonishingly fast metabolism.

After being discharged from the hospital, he came to Stark Tower for the first time.

In the office, Tony was arguing with Pepper.

Pepper seemed to express his dissatisfaction: "You are crazy, Tony. I still can't believe that you openly announced that you are Iron Man in the press conference. What are you going to do in the future? Live under the guns of criminals and terrorists all day long." Mouth."

Tony scratched his head and seemed to regret it: "But I said it all. Besides, it's not that bad, right? We have successfully improved our public image, and the situation of our stocks that have been falling has also improved..."

"You just want to show off." Little Pepper hit him harshly, and his tone eased, "You need a bodyguard."

Tony disagrees: "I don't think there is a bodyguard in the world who is safer than my steel suit."

Little Pepper sullenly said: "You can't live in your turtle shell all day long! You will be attacked and die!"

"So, are you worried about me?" Tony raised his eyebrows, his handsome face became more attractive.

"Ahem, I didn't bother you, did I?" A young voice attracted the two of them, only to see Brad standing calmly in the middle of the living room.

Little Pepper was surprised: "My God, where did you come in from?"

Brad smiled and pointed to the window on one side.

Tony shrugged: "It seems that we have to develop a good habit of closing windows casually in the future."

Pepper has been Tony's secretary for so many years, so his mind is naturally very good.She saw that the two of them had something important to discuss, and said with interest: "I'll go to the manager of the security department, maybe he can arrange for the bodyguard."

Looking at the back of Little Pepper leaving, Tony shouted: "It's unnecessary to say, I don't need someone to wipe my ass every day!"

Little Pepper didn't stop, and continued to leave.

Tony shook his head and turned to Brad: "That's what she is, like my mother."

Brad smiled: "You two can get the certificate."

Tony seemed to feel that it would be no good to talk about himself, so he changed the subject: "Are you fully recovered?"

"Ah."

Tony couldn't help but wonder: "Your recovery ability is really strong, I think it also comes from super speed?"

Brad smiled slightly, without denying it.He didn't tell Tony that there is a sky outside the sky, and his recovery speed is nothing compared to Wolverine's recovery ability.

"So, where did your abilities come from?" Tony asked as he walked in, "Are you a mutant?"

"No." Brad replied, "One day I was struck by lightning, and after sleeping for nine months, it suddenly became like this."

Tony almost fell to the ground without a stumble.

"Shocked by lightning!?" He seemed to have heard something very funny. "In the Guinness Book of Records, there was a poor guy who was struck by lightning seven times, and he didn't gain any superpowers once."

Seeing Brad's serious expression, feeling that he was not joking, Tony believed his words.

"Nature is really mysterious." He said with emotion.

Brad followed Tony to a wall in Tony's office.Tony swiped his hand on it, and a blue projection screen emerged.After entering a series of codes, the wall splits down the middle, revealing the laboratory within.

"You also have a 'private space' in your own office?" Brad asked while looking at all kinds of sophisticated instruments and equipment inside.

"Of course." Tony continued to walk in, and replied, "I can't be too far away from my armor. After all, the fact that I am Iron Man has been broadcast on TV, who knows when some pervert will break the window And you want my life?"

Instead of pursuing the deep meaning of his words, Brad asked, "Then why did you bring me here? Admire your armor?"

"No." Tony smiled mysteriously, "It's yours."

The two came to a huge display case, where a silver dummy was wearing the streamlined battle suit that Brad and Obaday had borrowed that day when they fought.It's just that the originally pitch-black armor has been completely painted red at this time, and strips of gold are still printed on the body.The mask covered half of the face, only the eyes and mouth were exposed, which was similar to Captain America's mask, but it was also painted a soft red.There are two antenna-like lightning-shaped ear wings on the ears.The symbol of lightning is vividly printed on a red ring on the chest.

Seeing this uniform, Brad couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

God!Why is the uniform designed by Tony Stark so similar to the Flash in the comics!It is simply carved out of a mold!
Tony didn't notice his strangeness, and explained his favorite work: "This suit is highly anti-friction, and the feet are anti-friction shoes. It is not only resistant to pulling, invulnerable, and bulletproof, but also able to absorb part of the kinetic energy. In other words, it can withstand a very strong impact. You will be fine if you fall from the second floor!"

After thinking about it, he added another sentence: "Of course, it is still not recommended that you jump down from the second floor."

Brad was still in shock, but quickly realized: "This, give it to me?"

Tony smiled: "You saved the lives of me and Pepper, isn't that the minimum gesture? Maybe I can find you a changing room to try..."

"No need." As soon as Brad finished speaking, a red whirlwind rolled up.A few seconds later, Brad returned to the spot in a cool uniform.

Tony was even more envious: "Super speed... this ability is so fucking easy to use!"

In a flash, Brad appeared in front of a mirror, looked at it for a moment, and was very satisfied.How handsome and handsome this uniform is!Sure enough, Stark products must be high-quality goods!
Tony's voice sounded again: "From now on, we will all be on the same boat. People who work in this industry are rare animals. I may need to take care of them more in the future. It will be good for me to give you this clothes..."

"Wait," Brad interrupted him with a frown, "Going together?"

Tony said, "What? Is there a problem?"

Brad asked back: "When did I say I wanted to be a superhero too?"

Tony was taken aback, and asked, "But didn't you save my life and help me defeat Opadry? You want to say that it was just your warm-up exercise after dinner?"

Brad shook his head: "My fight with Obaday is purely personal. He wants to hurt my family, although I don't know why, but I have to stop him, that's all. It's not me I like to meddle in your Stark internal business."

"Are you trying to tell me that you have such a powerful talent but just want to rot it in your daily life?" Tony looked disbelieving, "You never thought about what your ability can do?"

Brad shrugged: "Maybe I can do it quickly, but that doesn't mean I can change anything. The filth of human society has reached its core. I never think that anyone can do anything to change the world. You can save One and two, but you eventually have to give in to the darkness that's ingrained in society."

After a pause, he emphasized his tone: "If you have a lot of money, you can't do it. Even if the gods from the sky descend in person, nothing will change."

He was not exaggerating.If there is no accident, Thor, the god of thunder, will visit the earth soon, even if he is infinitely powerful, he is powerless in the face of the intricate human society.

Tony looked at Brad in disappointment: "I thought you were a hero, it seems I was wrong. Maybe we really can't change too much, but I'm different from you, I will at least try to do better."

He turned around and fiddled with his steel armor: "I'm going to work, you can go. But you can keep the clothes, if you change your mind one day, you might want to wear them."

Brad didn't speak, just kicked his feet and disappeared into Tony's office.

Running in the streets of Manhattan, Brad was very confused.Why couldn't he see how disappointed Tony was with him?He knew that Tony could be friends with him originally, but the relationship between the two is obviously a little stiff now.

But even so, Brad would not change his mind.He's just an ordinary guy gifted by accident, not a saint.He doesn't spend his days trying to save people from fire and water.It's not that he looks down on superheroes' actions, but that he believes that this is idealized from the bottom of his heart.Superheroes are just a bunch of sad idealists.No matter how powerful they are, they are only fighting for an illusory ideal.And Brad is destined not to fight for it.

Because he's Brad Joy, a realist.

He's not The Flash.
