[Black shield and white tank] A line of sea and sky

--Who are you?

"Tony Darke, Iron Man."

——What have you been doing these days?

"I have finished making the armor, only the partial connection needs to be fine-tuned."

--where to put?

"The armor is in the safe, and the blueprints are on the table."

——I didn't ask you about the blueprint, why do you emphasize the blueprint?

"I……"

——What are the blueprints?

"Nothing... no, there are armor designs—"

Tony slapped himself hard, and looked back into the mirror.

"Where is that? Armor? Armor is in the safe."

—Then what do you think I am asking?

Tony slapped himself hard again, "What did you do these days? Did it take you so long? What else did you do during this time?"

Eat, drink, sleep, and sleep, "You can try to find someone who is more efficient than me to do it."

—Have you ever been out?

"I would like to, but only if I have a way to get around your lackeys." Tony stared at himself in the mirror, maintaining a steady heartbeat and firm eyes.

—but you've been out.

"Maybe, maybe I really went out, who knows?" Tony twisted a smirk, paused for a while, and looked down at the detector on his wrist.

No alarm, normal heart rate.He lied, but his expression and pulse were not enough to prove that he was lying.

He hasn't been out these few days, so he just stayed in the building obediently and rushed to work day and night.Crossbones and the Winter Soldier?Who is that?He hadn't had any contact with them in his world—"What's wrong? They bothered you?"

Tony raised his eyebrows and gave a gloating look in the mirror.The detector still didn't alarm, he was calm and all his reactions were real.

This is necessary, anyway, he has been slapped a lot by himself in the past few days.From the very beginning when the first question was sounded by the siren, and the siren didn't even sound after answering all the questions, Tony did suffer a lot, but it was perfect enough to deal with Steve—although so far Because the answer is not perfect, he will give himself a little more cruelty.

After all, Captain Hydra would more or less ask the above questions when he came back, and Stark had to react normally—at least the problem couldn't be his expression.

However, he also prepared a backup plan, such as a thorn made of liquid metal in the palm of his hand.When he met Steve, he would always hold it lightly, and whenever he asked a question, he would press his thumb against the palm.The ten fingers connect to the heart, and the sharp pain will always remind him to be vigilant.

Facts have proved that these two tricks are very effective.

When Steve saw him, he didn't question him too much. He just exchanged a few words as usual, and then sank tiredly on the sofa.He doesn't seem to have any doubts about Tony's answer, and Tony can also pass the topic to the other party smoothly——

"What about you? Did you find anything in Sokovia?" Tony sat on the other side of the sofa, keeping a distance between them.

"Finding an empty base, it doesn't look like it has been abandoned for a long time, but it seems that people went to the empty building overnight." Steve rubbed his brows, picked up the table and was gulped down by Tony's half-drinked water, "Inside There are many large computers, and some mainframes are still warm, but there is no trace of human beings, not even footprints."

"Jarvis is going to update. After the update, I can ask him to check it again for you. No footprints does not necessarily mean that there are no traces of humans. Iron Man does not need to leave footprints." Tony touched the tip of the nail with his thumb and raised his hand. He smiled.

This remark sounds like it might be hot, but it seems that it is not Stark's style to deliberately avoid it.The best lie is not an illusion from the inside out, but a big lie wrapped in a lot of truth like smoke///fog///bomb///.

"Don't worry, basically all the forces that can cause disturbances are under control, except..." Steve paused, swallowing the second half of the sentence.He looked sideways at Tony, and turned the subject, "With your armor, none of that is a problem, is it?"

Tony snorted.Of course, his armor is perfect.No matter how much Steve exchanged pleasantries, apart from meeting him and making sure that he didn't have any malicious intentions, naturally the only thing left was thinking about the armor.

Tony didn't keep his secrets anymore, and asked Jarvis to open the door of the safe and bring in the armor.

It was a piece of equipment that looked very different from the previous uniform. Although it still maintained the red and black matching and the Hydra logo on the chest, the moment the uniform appeared in the hall, it was instantly distorted by the lighting effect of the room. A layer of metal ripples flashed.

That layer of ripples is like laying a layer of diamond-like film on the uniform. At first glance, it is translucent and shining, but when you look closely, you can't really see anything.It makes people think that their eyes are dazzled by the light, which creates the illusion of brilliance.

Steve stood up from the sofa immediately, his eyes twinkling with strange excitement.He walked straight towards the armor, raised his arm eagerly to touch it, but stopped in front of the armor, hesitated for a while, and then carefully touched its surface.

Icy, glorious.There is no roughness of the fabric, but it is as smooth and delicate as a mirror.He pinched the sleeve and weighed it in his hand. Although it is reasonable to add materials to the original uniform, the weight is actually lighter.Presumably Stark has also improved the original uniform to make it more transparent and fit the body more easily.

He raised the cuff and looked it up to the light. Indeed, there was a thin, translucent film on top of the fabric.He was amazed at the toughness of this metal, but he didn't dare to ask too much with certainty—"This...can this really resist ammunition?"

Stark curled his lips and stood up.He strode to Steve's side, pulled out the hand///gun from his waist, took a few steps back, and pointed at the armor and pulled the trigger continuously.The explosion was absorbed by the soundproof wall, making a loud and short sound.

Steve immediately raised his arm to block the flying shell casings, and after six rounds were exhausted, he lowered his arm in the smoke of gunpowder.Stark raised his chin at him, motioning him to look again.

That's right, not only did the uniform have no traces of penetration, but even where the six rounds hit it earlier couldn't be found.It is still as smooth as water, impervious to scratches and powder dross.Pressing the finger again, the cold touch is still the same as before.

"Perfect." Steve admired, his palm resting on the Hydra logo on his chest, and the throbbing in his chest was indescribable.

"I am a god," Stark accepted the award frankly, and told the other party without shame, "I only perform miracles."

Of course, at this point in the matter, Steve should be very happy to have sex with Stark and reward his hero with tenderness between the beds.But if Steve had been that simple, Stark would have escaped long ago and wouldn't have been trapped for so long.

So the matter is far from over, and the previous conversation has not stopped.Steve just interrupted briefly, then resumed just as Tony's habitual self-confidence turned into conceit from the praise and lowered his guard.

"No, you are just an angel, the angel who guides me," Steve removed his hand from the armor, put away the joy on his face, lowered his expression, and corrected gently-"God will not sneak away If you go out, you won’t come back sneakily, will you?”

Tony's heart skipped a beat.

Well done Rogers, it looks like he did find out about his tampering with the camera setup.Not only that, but he hasn't announced anything yet, just waiting for Stark to make some decisive move, and then settle the score later.

Tony's thumb pressed hard against the metal spike in his palm, and it seemed to be bleeding.He now has two choices, one is to tell the truth about his whereabouts and be lenient, and the other is to immediately fabricate another lie to deal with Steve's questioning.

It seems to be Stark's choice, but in fact the decision-making power is in the hands of Rogers.Because whether to choose the former or the latter depends on whether Rogers knows that he has found the Winter Soldier and Wishbone.If you know, there is nothing you can do.If you don't know, then there is still room for maneuver.

Tony remained silent, waiting for Rogers to push the stalemate a little further.Just push it a little more, and he'll be able to draw more information out of it.

Iron Man was smarter than Captain Hydra after all, and his silence helped.Seeing that Tony didn't speak, Steve really decided to push one step forward.I saw him take out a small package from his pocket and put it on the table, motioning for Tony to open it.

"My 'stony dogs' found it in your trash, you should explain it."

Tony swallowed, and slowly approached the desk.

The small cloth bag was only half the size of a palm, and it might contain bullets.It's the bullet and it's over, and everything is exposed.That means that Steve followed him all the way to Manzanillo, and now Wishbone and Winter Soldier may have become two mounds, or thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Tony stretched out his hand without metal nails, held his breath and opened one corner of the cloth bag, and then opened another corner. Every time he opened it, it seemed as long as a century.He was so nervous that he even wanted to close his eyes, even if he pierced his entire knuckles, he couldn't calm himself down.

But no matter what, the contents of the cloth bag were fully presented under the attention of the two.At that moment, Tony vomited a mouthful of sour water and almost vomited on the desk.But in the next second, he also let out a long breath, lamenting that God did not stop his way, and fate saved him again.

What was wrapped in the cloth bag was not bullets, but Tony's rotten and smelly finger, which he cut off cruelly.

Steve asked Tony to explain clearly, which means he didn't know the secret of the severed finger, so he must not have tracked down Manzanillo, and he must have found the last temporary record from other camera devices in hindsight , after discovering the scene of Tony returning to the building, deduced that Tony had gone out.

The whole thinking process was completed in the brain when Tony covered his mouth and retched, and he was so grateful that tears came out.The vomiting provided him with good cover, allowing him to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes as a matter of course.

Steve rushed over to grab his other hand suddenly, and opened his palm.The metal nail quickly disappeared in the palm of the hand, but there was still a small hole in the injured thumb, with blood oozing out.

"In order to escape, you really took great pains." Steve grabbed Tony's hand and didn't let go, his eyes couldn't tell whether it was anger or sadness.

"Who says no? I'm not willing to be your angel. Of course I have to think about how to go back to be a god." Tony panted and laughed, and straightened his waist again.

Steve's pain made him happy, Steve's ignorance made him happy, and he's happy now because he's still so far ahead.

Steve's expression twisted, but he pulled his wrist harder.He was extremely angry, but he couldn't let go of his hand.

His Tony has never wanted to escape from him like this terrifying monster in front of him, but for some reason, the more the other party wants to escape, the more tightly he holds it in his hands.

"Why didn't you make it?" Steve suppressed the flames in his chest that were about to erupt, and lowered his voice, "You have successfully gone out, even at the expense of hurting yourself in this way, and piercing your own flesh and blood to treat me perfectly Liar! I admire your sacrifice...I really want to know what is standing in front of you, a false god!"

"Because—" Tony raised his head and called softly, "Jarvis, show it to our great captain."

As soon as the words fell, a set of red and yellow armor suddenly flew out of another safe.During the flight, it opened, expanded, deformed, transformed into the shape of a certain part of Tony's body, and galloped towards the established goal.

But at the moment when it was attached to the skin, all the parts stopped suddenly and stayed in the air for about half a second, as if they had lost traction, they all fell down.

Steve was dumbfounded.

"I said, I'm not even Iron Man here. The metal in my body and the armor produced repulsion. I amputated my finger to determine where the problem is."

Yes, even in such a critical situation, Tony still lied perfectly again.Used at a time when it is almost impossible to calm down, the Hydra captain will no longer have doubts about the content of the torture.So he froze, showing his trusting side in a state of absence.

And there was a smile in Tony's voice, and the bitterness in the smile stabbed at the other party more forcefully - "I am nothing but your prisoner. Don't talk about me, even if you are gentler and more reasonable , and Tony, whom you love to death, must not be able to accept such a setting, what reason do I have—”

There is no reason.

Steve knew, there was no reason.But for some reason, when he said "Tony, who loves you to death", his heart seemed to be cut hard.

Steve didn't let him finish, clenching his teeth and pulling him suddenly closer.

He should have kissed it fiercely, or slapped the swearing prisoner, but the moment he approached Tony's cheek, he stopped again.

There is a metallic luster in Tony's eyes, and the blue fluorescent light has a light blue circle around his pupils.His Tony had pure caramel eyes, not like this one, not at all.

He'd figured it out the first time he'd seen this Tony, who'd seen it all but tried to ignore it.Because he couldn't admit that he was attracted to this Tony - that meant a betrayal of his own Tony, and his original intention was definitely not betrayal.

So even the white tin can is convinced that the other party is just driven mad by the pain of losing his lover.He fell in love with an illusion, and it could never be this monster with a blue halo in his pupils.

However, they are two monsters.However, the Hydra captain wanted this person to stay.

Even if he's not Iron Man, even if he can't wear that series of red and yellow armor, even if he doesn't make arms anymore, doesn't help him deal with the outside world, and even wants to protect him by himself—Captain Hydra I don't want to let go, even if I break this wrist bone, I don't want to let go.

He had never seen such a cruel Tony, nor had he seen such a tenacious force against himself.He once said that Stark would be nothing if he took off his iron suit, but the man in front of him took off his iron suit and showed even sharper fangs.

The fangs not only stabbed the opponent, but also stabbed himself.That frightening ferocity made the Hydra captain look sideways, but at the same time, it also made him addicted.

"If I were Captain America, I'd let you go. I know you're in pain, and Captain America won't make you love him."

The Hydra captain's eyes are water-stained, and his pupils also have a circle of brilliance dyed by the original power of Hydra.Only his was bright red, like angry flames.

"If I were your Iron Man, I wouldn't leave. My pain will be resolved with your understanding, and I can stay because of mutual affection."

Stark's eyes were calm, and he tried his best to keep his emotions calm.Because he knows better than the other party, if it takes longer, and the battle between the two becomes more intense, he may regret his action of pressing the switch, and because of his soft heart, he cannot really kill the Hydra captain.

But he knows himself too well to hold back his feelings for each other, and it will only be painful for a short time.But letting go of this personal relationship will only make him repeat the mistakes of torturing each other with his captain for so many years.

"Chop off all your fingers, or dig out your eyes and cut off your tongue next time, but no matter how you destroy yourself, I'm not Captain America, and I will never let you go." After a moment of stalemate, Steve shook Tony's hand coldly.

"Okay," Tony was shaken hard, stood on the edge of the table, wrapped the severed finger on the table again, and threw it into Steve's arms—"Don't forget to take it with you when you leave, no The smell of Tony Darko, you will not sleep soundly tonight."
