"Tony Stark made a promise to protect peace, but it's clear that his position has been challenged."

"But he keeps having problems, which makes the public question him."

"Can he protect us?"

In the living room of Tony Stark's house, the TV is full of news about the attack in Monaco.

People began to trust Tony less, and people from all walks of life were discussing the matter.

Pepper and Natasha each held a phone, dealing with these questions and solving these troubles as much as possible.

"Where's Tony?"

Rhodes walked in from outside and asked with a heavy expression.

"He and Su Hao are downstairs."

Pepper didn't have time to answer him and pointed to the elevator next to him.

"it is good."

Looking at the mess in the living room, Rhodes felt like his head was going to explode.

"Anton Anko, a Soviet physicist who defected to the United States in 1963, was later accused of being a spy and deported four years later."

"His son Ivan, also a physicist, was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for reselling arms and weapons to Pakistan during the Soviet period."

Jarvis searched for information about Ivan Anko and read it out.

"It seems that the information is correct. The arc reactor was developed by your father and him. His idea of ​​making money with this conflicted with your father, so he held a grudge against your family."

Su Hao sat on the chair where Tony usually sat and said.

Tony listened quietly without saying a word.

At this time, the door of the studio was suddenly pushed open by Rhodes from the outside.

"Tony, you have to go upstairs and get the situation under control."

He frowned and looked at Tony and Su Hao.

All the lights in the basement were dimmed, with only a few light blue lights barely illuminating the room.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing, completely different from the wanton and flamboyant Tony.

"Listen, I've been on the phone with the troops all day today, trying to convince them not to drive tanks over, break down your door, and take away these steel suits of yours."

"You tell them no one can copy your technology."

"But right after Monaco, an identical steel suit appeared, with the same energy core as yours shining on the chest."

"Tony, you have to do something to stabilize things, you know?"

Rhodes walked up to Tony and grabbed Tony's shoulders with his hands.

"Ah."

Tony nodded and stood up from his chair.

"Jarvis, turn on the light."

He took a breath and gave Jarvis an order.

All the lights in the studio were turned on immediately, illuminating the entire room.

Four large holes were dug into the wall, displaying the steel suits developed by Tony.

Tony pulled Rhodes and slowly walked towards them.

"Which one do you want, pick one."

Tony pointed to the suit on the wall and said calmly.

"Pick one"

Rhodes was stunned.

He never expected that Tony would make such a decision. These things were Tony's hard work. These days, Tony put all his energy into them just to make them.

In the previous hearings, those senators and Justin Hammer used many methods, but failed to get Tony to hand them over.

But now, Tony actually plans to let himself choose one

"why"

Rhodes knew that Tony was not joking. Now that Tony had said it, he had already made up his mind.

Therefore, he wanted to know the reason even more.

"No one can be alone forever, Rod."

Tony looked at Su Hao who was not far away, and then showed a faint smile.

He has indeed always believed that he alone can do everything he wants to do, maintain peace, protect the earth, and that the powerful Iron Man can do anything.

But the palladium in his body made him realize something important.

No one can be alone forever.

He cannot be strong forever, nor can he always defeat all enemies with the strength of one person.

Just like that day on the circuit in Monaco.

If not for Su Hao's sudden appearance.

It is very likely that he will stay in a foreign country and never come back.

"You are the only person Tony can trust in the military. If you put on the suit, no one will object. Moreover, those malicious voices of petty villains will disappear soon."

Su Hao walked towards Rhodes.

"But you have to ensure that only you can use this suit. You can't just hand it over to others for research or modification."

Then, he reminded again.

Tony also nodded to Rhodes, confirming that what Su Hao said was exactly what he was thinking.

"I see."

Rhodes didn't refuse, just took a deep breath.

He knows better than anyone what these things represent.

Wear them and you become the same guy as Iron Man Tony Stark.

From then on, he lost his ordinary life and embarked on the path of a hero.

Rhodes has clearly seen from Tony how difficult this road is.

It's just that he is a little different from Tony.

When he chose to become a soldier, he had already made all the mental preparations.

"Which one to choose?"

Tony asked.

"The silver one."

Rhodes pointed at the Mark 2 suit.

He doesn't like the aggressive appearance of red. He prefers silver or black, which looks more low-key and practical.

"no problem."

Tony waved his hand, and a mechanical arm pushed out the Mark 2 suit.

"Open access, James, Colonel Rhodes."

Tony said calmly.

"Stand over there."

Su Hao pointed to the platform where Tony usually wore his suit.

Rhodes nodded and walked over.

A blue light scanned Rhodes and obtained all his information.

Then, six robotic arms stretched out from the floor and ceiling.

Jarvis controlled the robotic arm and began to put the suit on Rhodes. In less than ten seconds, Rhodes was completely wrapped in the silver suit.

"try it."

Tony brought lemonade, handed a glass to Su Hao, and then leaned on the table to drink.

Rhodes started to do some basic movements.

Lift your legs, move forward, fly, and even aim your weapon.

As a soldier, he has a good foundation, knows how to fight, and knows how to use weapons, and he has watched Tony use mechas many times.

It took him a short time to master this thing.

"He learns faster than you, Tony."

Su Hao smiled and looked at Tony teasingly.

"It's up to you and Pepper to deal with the trouble outside, Rhodes."

Tony automatically chose to filter out Su Hao's teasing and said to Rhodes.

Click.

The visor of the suit was ejected, revealing his face.

"Of course, with this thing, everyone can shut up their mouths."

"What about you, what are you going to do?"

Rhodes' expression was full of confidence, but he did not miss the other meaning in Tony's words.

"I have something important to do."

Tony's tone was a little flat.

"Tell Pepper to cancel my birthday party for me."
