The next day, Lainie took the special plane provided by Stark Industries back to Los Angeles, and returned to Tony's beach villa that afternoon.

"Hello? I'm back. Is anyone home?"

As soon as she entered the door, Lainie tentatively greeted the living room.

However, only Jarvis responded to her.

"Long time no see, Miss Lainie. Mr. Stark and Colonel Rhodes are in the studio. Miss Potts went to the company this morning and was not in the villa."

Throwing the car keys into the void warehouse, Lainie casually untied the hairband tied behind her head and rubbed her sore neck.

"Long time no see, Jarvis."

Stepping into the kitchen, Lainie skillfully took out ice cubes, raspberries and lemons from the refrigerator, and took three glasses at will.

"Your bartending skills are still the same as always."

Faced with Jarvis's high emotional intelligence, Lainie smiled unhappily:

"Where did you learn this kind of speaking skills?"

Taking the tray, putting down the three prepared martinis, Lainie clapped her hands.

"Mr. Stark, I've been learning his behavior. Of course, including you."

After cleaning up the mess on the table, Lainie picked up the tray.

"Then you probably won't learn anything good. We are not the kind of gentle and easy-going people."

"I don't think so."

After teasing this amazing artificial intelligence, Lainie went downstairs to the studio.

As soon as she came down, she saw Tony and Roddy looking through the video recording of her playing Requiem.

"I'm back, don't you guys welcome me? I even prepared martinis for you."

Tony and Roddy looked at each other, then turned to look at Lainie and watched the video.

"I still think the person playing the piano at that time was not her at all. She doesn't have that temperament."

"I'm sorry for my stubbornness just now. I agree with you."

The corners of Lainie's mouth twitched when she was teased by these two guys.

Putting the tray down steadily, Lainie slapped the table hard.

"Why don't I have that temperament? And the person playing the piano is not me. Why don't you say that the person standing in front of you now is not me?"

However, Tony didn't buy into Lainie's words at all and pointed at Lainie in the video.

"Don't say it, don't say it, I really hope that the person standing in front of me now is her and not you."

Seeing that the two funny guys were about to quarrel again, Roddy had no choice but to come out to make peace.

"Tony means, what do you know about the song at that time?"

Laini took a martini and handed it to Roddy, and she took another glass and walked to the computer where she often stayed.

"Are you still entangled in those strange scenes you said?"

Tony didn't care about Lainie's childish behavior of deliberately "isolating" him, and got up and walked over to pick up the last martini.

"I asked Pepper to contact a classical orchestra to re-record your song. Do you have any requirements?"

Laini thought for a moment and said indifferently:

"You can mark the lyrics and music as Alice. She is the original author of this song. I just heard it."

Taking a sip of martini, Lainie reached out and took out Marilette.

"Although I don't know what you saw that day, I can try again."

Under the curious eyes of the two, Lainie stroked the strings with her fingers, and the melodious "Requiem" sounded again.

However, this time, no matter how Tony and the others looked at it, the magical scene of that day did not appear again.

After the song, Lainie shrugged at the two.

"Look, I don't know what's going on either."

Tony and Roddy looked at each other and sighed.

"Forget it, just treat it as a coincidence. Let's not talk about this. General Ross came to see you last night and hoped to talk to you."

Laini was a little surprised. General Ross?

"Why did he ask me for this? Could it be that he is interested in my laser cannon technology?"

Tony asked Jarvis to call up the video recording provided by General Ross that day, and zoomed in on the footage of Lainie using the laser cannon.

"I didn't have time to ask you about this thing last time. Is this also the weapon technology of your place?"

Hearing this, Lainie summoned the laser cannon directly from the arsenal and placed it on the workbench beside her.

"Laser cannon, as the name suggests, is a single-soldier heavy laser weapon that can fire strong electron beam cannons. I just unlocked the usage rights and upgraded it by the way."

Rhodey looked at the two of them, but didn't think much about it. He just thought that it was the weapon technology provided by SHIELD to Lainie.

"SHIELD also has such a super-standard thing?"

When this was said, Tony and Lainie were stunned.

Lainie: "You didn't tell him my identity?"

Tony: "I did. A senior agent of SHIELD, and a person with space ability. Isn't that what SHIELD says to the outside world?"

Laini: "I was talking about the fact that I'm a celestial being!"

Tony: "I thought you told him... so you didn't tell him?"

Laini \u0026 Tony: "Send!"

Rhodey looked at the two guys winking at each other and curled his lips.

"What are you two planning with your sneaky eyes? And what else are you hiding from me?"

Tony: "You have to take the blame for your own mistakes. Explain to him. I'm going to the bathroom."

Laini: "Hey! Don't do this... Don't leave me alone!"

Looking at Tony's back as he hurriedly stood up and left after using the ninjutsu of urinating, Lainie angrily raised her fist and punched the air twice.

"Laini? I need an explanation!"

Hearing the serious voice behind her like that of a homeroom teacher, Lainie subconsciously shuddered.

"Um... Colonel Rhodes, this matter... is a long story..."

With an awkward smile, Lainie sat back upright like a primary school student who was caught doing something in class.

"Just call me Roddy."

Roddy looked at Lainie in front of him with a fake smile, and restrained his aura as an Air Force colonel.

"I don't want to hear lies, Lainie."

This sentence directly blocked Lainie's possibility of continuing to make up stories in the direction of Roddy's misunderstanding.

"Ah this..."

Laini was very entangled. Out of recognition and respect for the two of them, she didn't want to deceive Roddy in her heart.

But then again, her life experience really involved too many secrets of SHIELD. It would be easy to explain that she was just a space ability user.

How to explain this alchemical potion and powerful laser weapon?

Saying that it was provided by SHIELD is a good reason, but Rhodey has to believe it!

Seeing that Lainie was hesitant and unable to speak, Rhodey finally sighed.

"If it's not convenient for you to tell me, forget it. Wait until you and Tony want to tell me."

After that, Rhodey stood up and said that he also wanted to go to the bathroom, and went upstairs directly.

Looking at Rhodey's back, Lainie hesitated again and again but finally didn't say it.

Out of responsibility for her identity as a SHIELD agent, she still chose to keep it secret.

However...

She didn't think she would keep it a secret from Rhodey for how long...
