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

No matter how far the outside world is deployed, Tony still decides to meet the Avengers of this world.

That was the first time Tony had seen the Avengers in so long.

He didn't go in with Steve, who told him he'd be waiting at the door.With Tony approaching them alone, the conversation would be a lot easier.

"I'm not the Steve they want, they're wary of me," Steve said.

Tony couldn't help laughing, "You make it sound like I'm the Stark they want?"

of course not.None of them.It's just that Tony has a better way to make them accept it. Regardless of his mouth or his identity, he has done so many outrageous things in the name of Stark, and everyone will be more psychologically prepared.

"Vision isn't inside, it's gone back to sleep." Steve said as he walked, following Tony around into the long corridor.

They had painted the armor exactly as they wanted this morning, and Steve had been ordered to fetch the original shield from the rented house in Brooklyn.They need to disclose this armor to the public, and they are actually showing both sides that Steve Rogers has officially taken over Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. and merged them into one—after all, no one else can challenged him.

Ridiculous, but politics are always irrational.

But even so, Tony still asked to meet with the Avengers first.In any case, their position determines the position of a large part of the population.Whether it is the stone-throwing effect or the herd mentality, if the Avengers can set an example to show their trust and submission to the new leader, then public opinion will be greatly weakened.

"Vision is not the point, he is a heterogeneous species, and he cannot represent the people." Tony stood shoulder to shoulder with Steve, and suddenly remembered the press conference he had just appeared in front of the public.

It is also guarded by two soldiers at the front and back, the same corridor that seems to never end, the same huge pressure and a [-]-[-] chance of winning, but this time the mood is completely different.

In just a few months, Steve and Tony have changed a lot.They seem to have figured out a mode of getting along that hurts each other but is interdependent, allowing them to deal with foreign enemies together like they do now.

Yes, if there is a common goal, they will twist into a ball and speak out in unison.But when the external crisis is eliminated, they will take up arms and fight against the people around them.They are the spear and the shield, which can arm a warrior with full armor, and can endlessly compare each other who is tougher and sharper.

"They live in a soundproof cell, and the windows can be one-way or two-way. Later, I will turn on all the soundproofing equipment, and you can hear them talking together, or you can talk to them alone. There is a control panel on it, you—" Steve continued to explain.

Tony interrupted him impatiently, "Please, it's not up to you to teach me about the control panel."

After all, Tony was also involved in the design here, although he saw his own results for the first time in the months from drawing to completion and putting into use.But he also had to admire Steve's execution ability, Steve completely implemented every plan on the drawing, to the point.

In Tony's own world, he has built countless similar prisons.Although there are not as many superheroes imprisoned as here, he can find a more suitable way to restrain them according to the different characteristics of each person.

The "Superhero Registration Act" is to be implemented both on the table and under the table, but it is called the "Act" when it is put out, and it is Stark's private information when it is not put out.

Before the government proposed this concept, Tony had already started to use the "Iron Curtain" system to detect supernatural beings around the world.He collected their information and studied their abilities, and those statistical data had taken up several filing cabinets and several terabytes of storage space.

If the government of his world needs it, he can take it out immediately, and Iron Man has always been prepared.

"If there is any danger, our people are outside, you can call the police by facing the camera or using the remote control, and we will immediately—" Steve still explained anxiously, as if Tony is really an unarmed like politicians.

Tony interrupted him again without mercy—"Okay, just shut up and let me think about what I'm going to say later."

What Tony needs is silence, he can't talk to everyone, he has no time, energy or patience.He only needs to find representatives from the two camps in the civil war, and convince this representative, and that representative will pass on the concept for him and persuade his partners in the same camp.

Needless to say, in his own camp, he chose Natasha.

Spider-Man was too young to fit.Vision has been dormant, and it is another species.And James Roddy...has such a good relationship with him, he's a bit biased no matter what he says, and it's not easy for his comrades to be convinced by what he says.

So he chose the Black Widow. This not-so-distant relationship and his identity as a former Soviet secret service and SHIELD made it easier to understand what he was talking about and what the current situation was like.

Tony is confident in convincing Natasha, but the problem is in the other side's camp.

First of all, he will not go to the falcon.Falcon only believes in Captain America, so neither he nor Steve can make Falcon succumb.

Secondly, he will not go to the Scarlet Witch.According to Jarvis' information, that little girl once held great hostility towards Stark.Even if the hostility was eliminated later, she could not gain her trust, and it was simply impossible for her to persuade other members.

Again, Tony doesn't think about Hawkeye either.They are about to face a war that is about to explode, and Hawkeye is a family man.Most of these people are peace-oriented, and he will resent Steve for instigating the war, and he will also resent Tony for helping Steve plan this global war.

To sum up, there is only one person Tony can find, and that is Ant-Man-Scott Lang.

But he didn't know how to persuade Scott.

Although Ant-Man and himself have nothing to do with each other, but because his lover is Hope, and Hope is the daughter of Hank Pym, Hank Pym has a deep affection for Howard Stark and even Stark as a whole. So deeply biased that Scott was more or less similarly affected.

It's hard to do unless...

Tony frowned. They had already reached the door of the cell.

It is said to be a prison cell, but it is actually very similar to the entrance of an ordinary closed hatch.It is designed like this to prevent the entire prison from being too cruel, even though its monitoring and prevention of prisoners is more than that of ordinary prisons.

Steve looked at Tony inquisitively, and Tony nodded slightly.

After password input, fingerprint verification and retinal scanning, the cabin door opened in front of Tony.Inside, there are four one-way glass prisons on the left and right, and the former Avengers wearing uniform white prison uniforms are being imprisoned.They didn't feel Tony's arrival until the hatch closed behind them and Tony opened all the two-way windows.

After more than ten seconds of silence, everyone came back to their senses, and at the same time, a mess of noise broke out.They had different expressions and said something to Tony together.But Tony couldn't hear anything clearly, he just quietly scanned the surprised, terrified or puzzled faces one by one, waited for them to vent for about 20 seconds, and pressed the close button without closing the window. Sound button.

In an instant, the cell returned to dead silence.But they didn't know that Tony had pressed the mute button and was still talking.Their lips moved quickly, wishing they could use the harshest words to pierce the protective glass, and then pierce Iron Man's eardrums and brain.

Tony took a deep breath and walked towards the cell door where Natasha was held in the middle on the left.

Natasha is relatively quiet compared to others.She just stood against the cell door, looking at Stark vigilantly.She wanted to find something from the other party, even though Tony looked not much different from the original Stark.

However, Natasha's rich experience still gave Natasha a different insight than ordinary agents. The moment Tony turned on the intercom system, the widow made a conclusion—"You are not Tony, who are you?"

"I'm Tony." Tony made an innocent expression, he didn't lie.

"No." Natasha was serious and calm, her sharp eyes met Tony's. "Your eyes are different from his. At least...you are not the Tony I know."

"Well, this answer is relatively close." Tony crossed his hands, looked around and found no chair, so he had to stand and confront him, "But no matter what, you can take me as him, because there is no second steel here." Heroes have a choice."

Natasha frowned.The beautiful fingers pinched slightly and pressed against the glass surface.Tony really wanted to hurry up and get straight to the point. After all, he had to reserve enough time to deal with Scott Lang.But before he could open his mouth, the widow explained his purpose for him——

"Say it, let me listen, what bargaining chip do you have, let me stand by your side?" Natasha saw blood for a while.

Tony smiled and shrugged, "You know what I'm here for?"

"You're helping 'that' Steve control the world, control us, and you're going to convince me, after I've made my statement—" Natasha winked at the cell next to her, and turned her gaze back to Tony's face, revealing a With a contemptuous smile, "Let me bring them to cooperate with you, won't you?"

"Yes," Tony admitted, "but don't think of it as a bad thing."

"It's not necessarily a bad thing," Natasha said, but there was a chair in Natasha's cell. She pulled the chair and sat down. "It depends on what you say and how you say it."

Tony felt that his judgment was correct, and this kind of directness saved him a lot of trouble in detours.Black Widow is a sensible person, so he doesn't need to think about the words, just explain Steve's strategic direction that he desires to use absolute rule in exchange for world peace, and the need for the Avengers to obey him first to guide public opinion. Just come out and that's it.

By the way, tell Natasha that the consequence of resistance is force confrontation, and the battle armor that Steve now has-"I built it for him, you can't fight against him."

The woman's reaction was not great. I don't know how much she had sorted out during the previous days of being imprisoned. Her expression was never turbulent, whether it was when Tony said "I come from a later point in time" or "If you have to When it comes to control, Steve doesn't mind going to war with you, and many innocent people will be involved in the war," Natasha showed no expression.

The way she sat quietly in the chair was as beautiful as a wax figure.

But when Tony finished speaking, he paused for a while and wanted to hear Natasha's response, the widow asked back in a heart-throbbingly peaceful voice-"You are not such a person, Stark...you will not be willing To be his stepping stone. What is your real purpose?"

This time, it was Tony's turn to be silent.

He has always liked Pepa. Whether as a couple or as an assistant, he believes that the differences between men and women lead to completely different perspectives of women.Pepa is intelligent, capable, and kind, and these wonderful qualities make her unique.

The Black Widow he is facing now has most of the same qualities, but her good side has been cut out in half.But also because of this, this woman appeared more cruel and indifferent.She seems to be more willing to treat a stranger as an enemy first, first use the shield wall to protect herself firmly, and then keep stabbing the opponent with a sharp spear, until the opponent is willing to raise her hand to beg for mercy, she will consider removing the shield wall Next, see if the other party is trustworthy.

That being the case, Tony gave up the previous soft and hard tactics and coercion and temptation.He bowed his head in thought for a while, and when he raised his head again, he decided to tell the truth.

"Just like you, I want freedom and redemption." Tony approached the prison door, lowered his voice, "I have my world, my life. In that world, I am already what your captain looks like after he succeeds, but he Trapped me here, I can only—”

Natasha made a small gesture with her hand on her knee, reminding Tony.She understood what Tony was trying to say, but her eyes rolled and turned to the corner.

Tony's face didn't move, and his eyes glanced towards the corner. The moment he glanced over the monitor from the corner of his eye, he changed the content of the second half of the sentence, but finished the conversation smoothly.

"—I can only continue. If I don't do this, I can't find a second way to get what I want, and everything I should have already enjoyed." Tony gave a helpless smile, "What's more, I and Steve's relationship is there for all to see, and I don't want a second Civil War. It can be avoided, can't it?"

Helping Steve control the world is equivalent to controlling the world himself.Although he doesn't have the absolute right to speak, he is at least close to his status in his own world.If you can’t go back, then you have to recognize the status quo and move forward.Redeeming the world in this way is also expected to redeem oneself.

This is the most direct message that Stark told Natasha, but at the same time, he also tried his best to convey another layer of information to the female agent——

Only by helping Steve control the world will he have a chance to paralyze Captain Hydra's vigilance.Although there is no absolute certainty, the plan has been laid out anyway.Having come to this point, the only thing to do is to persevere, hold on to a glimmer of hope, and fight to the death in exchange for freedom.

Tony delivered two messages that he wasn't sure Natasha would take.

The woman still looked at him with the kind of eyes that frightened Tony. She was reading and analyzing, until Tony finally said "I'm done", then she slowly got up and nodded slightly.

Her eyes told Tony she would cooperate, but she didn't say how, or whether she believed it or not.It's just that she understands that this is the only way out at the moment, and Tony's words really hit her heart—we all long for freedom and redemption.

"In your world, you have become a god, haven't you?" Natasha said suddenly when Tony was about to turn off the call system with a sigh of relief.

Tony turned his head in surprise, and smiled, "This is the most understandable thing I've heard in a long time."

"No, Tony, you are not God." But Natasha shook her head, her eyes suddenly became compassionate, "You are just a poor man who wants to be God."

—Poor, pathetic, shameful.

"You get less than us, so you want more." After speaking, Natasha turned off the communication system in the room voluntarily.

Tony wanted to argue something more, but the woman didn't intend to continue listening.

You can deal with Black Widow in a straightforward way, but you can't deal with Scott Lang.

Tony doesn't know each other, whether it's the original Tony or the current Tony.But standing on the side of the US team when the other party doesn't know him, means that Dr. Pim's opinion determines the man's position.

And Tony knew that another person had a great influence on Pim.

When Tony turned his head to face Ant-Man who was locked in the corner, Ant-Man kept talking.

Tony tried turning the intercom on and off several times.He looked at the other's lips until the speech slowed down.It is expected that the communication with Stark's family will be temporarily over, and then the communication will be opened again.

"...So Stark is not credible."

——Well, the last half of the sentence still fell into Tony's ears.

Although he had heard these comments countless times, Tony couldn't get used to them no matter how many times.He doesn't like people's short-sighted evaluation of what he is doing now, and he also tries to listen to Pepa's words and learn to explain to others-but why explain, most people can't stand at his height, All explanations are wild imaginations to them.

"Such an emotional comment shouldn't be made by a superhero, Scott," Tony said with a polite smile, trying to impress with a gentle expression.

But Ant-Man didn't like this, he curled his lips innocently, "I didn't say this, it was said by a great scientist, saying the name will scare you to death."

Tony didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't know whether the other party really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, "Hank Pym, if you are talking about the great scientist he is."

"Oh, so you still understand, didn't you scare me to death?" Ant-Man also smiled, he turned his chair upside down, and sat across from Iron Man, "Since you know him, then you shouldn't even talk to me. It would have been more straightforward to ask Captain Hydra to spray him with insecticide."

It was more direct that way, but Tony hated being forced into submission in such a tough way.Oral dissatisfaction will plant hidden dangers, which is more worrying than formal resistance.

"Well, it scares me," Tony replied, rolling his eyes at the man, before grinning slyly, "but if you knew as much as I did, maybe you would—" Tony broke off mid-sentence, Shaking his head, "No, you probably won't. He is your future father-in-law. I shouldn't break this beauty. You're right. I should change someone else."

Tony was about to turn off the communication device as he said it, and he did.Scott was stunned for a while, and then protested silently.

Tony didn't respond, and after glancing at him lightly, he turned to the Falcon next to him with a pretentious gesture.

The more reserved, the more itchy.Seeing that Tony really didn't want to continue, Scott stood up from his chair and patted on the glass door, trying to get Tony's attention.

Tony put his hand on the Falcon's communication panel, and looked back at Ant-Man inquiringly.Ant-Man made a gesture to open the call, and pointed to his comm controller.

After a few seconds of stalemate like this, Tony turned around again and let Ant-Man's voice come out again.

"Don't do anything to Hope, or I won't spare you." Ant-Man frowned, warning dissatisfiedly.

It turned out that he thought that mentioning Pim was going to attack Hope, which made Iron Man dumbfounded.

If it wasn't Tony, this stupid warning might remind the enemy forces that there is still such a chess piece that can be used.But fortunately, although Stark's moral concepts are somewhat distorted, he doesn't intend to involve more people.

He is peace-loving, on the premise that everything can be resolved peacefully.

"Your head is really as small as an ant. She is Dr. Pym's daughter anyway. No matter how bad Stark looks to you, she won't let my father be-" Tony stopped appropriately again, Eyeballs rolled slyly around to avoid Scott's gaze.

"Ha, yes, Howard Stark. But fortunately, I'm not Dr. Pym, and I don't have friends from the Stark family. This also prevents me from being hurt by the Stark family like him to a certain extent. , also—" Ant-Man chattered on and on, but Tony interrupted him before he could finish.

Tony's face darkened, and his tone rose, with anger in his tone—"Oh? Really? So it was my father who made the first mistake with Dr. Pym, ah, that's good. No wonder he put 'S No one in the Dak family can be trusted, he is really a sweetheart."

This made Ant-Man suspicious.He stopped and thought for a few seconds. Although he was not sure, he still asked in a mocking tone—"Don't tell me that Stark wants to embezzle the research results of Pym particles. In your opinion, it's not your father's fault." .”

Tony let out a nasal sound.

Yes, it was indeed Howard's fault.My father wants to use Pym particles for military industry, deepen research and make extensive use of them.He does not deny Howard's eagerness for quick success, but there is another point——

"Then why didn't you embezzle? According to your point of view, even if Dr. Pym doesn't intend to cooperate, my father can use strong means to force him to submit-I admit that my father has done this to many people, but he did not do this to Hank. The same is not true of Pym Corporation, which was later established with Pym particles at its core."

Tony crossed his hands and took a deep breath.He looks like he's holding back his anger, which will put Scott off his fight for a while.What's more, what he said was obviously never heard by Scott.

"I don't like to dig up old accounts, but if you can know a little bit - of course, just a little bit - the relationship between the two of them, you will understand how much personal emotion there is in that sentence." Tony is confident Looking at Scott seriously, he continued to speak the truth that completely subverted Scott's understanding.

"What do you mean?" Scott asked hostilely.

"What do you mean by me? Huh?" Tony dragged out his tone, stared at the other party seriously, organized his words, and said——

"I don't know who left first, but I know my father didn't pursue it. I know he protected Pim—the family that Hank abandoned him, protected Hank's scientific research, and protected Hank. Hank's company, protected everything about Hank so much that my father took everything between the two of them to his grave without saying a word about it."

"You—" Scott panicked.

Tony waved his arm and said angrily—"Yes, Hank may hate my father, but only I know how much pressure my father has blocked from the outside world for him."

"Oh yes, you don't understand, of course you don't understand, because Hank won't mention it." Tony clenched his fist and pressed it against the glass window, his tone became sharp—"But please think about it with your ant's head , Does Hank really hate to do anything harmful to Stark, and Stark...was once in the camp against Pym's company."

Tony breathed a sigh of relief after he finished speaking.

In fact, he wasn't lying, Howard and Hank did have a... well, what Tony thought was an affair.Of course, that relationship is not as good as that between him and Steve, but from the perspective of his son, there is always something unspeakable.

In the trend of history, Hank Pym's maverick has made this scientist always on the cusp.He is a scientist of noble character, but after all, he possesses the wisdom and talents needed by various forces. Those uncompromising may be remembered by those who come later, but in the troubled times at that time, without Stark's protection, how could he grow strong? .

Howard Stark gave Pym a platform, a fortress that wasn't too strong, but still functioned adequately.

Hank was not present at Howard's funeral.But someone told Tony that a suspicious figure had appeared in the distance of the funeral.When he grew up, Tony was afraid that it was the monitoring of some potential forces, so he pursued it all the way.The truth that can be traced surprised him, and made him feel an indescribable emotion.

All this happened in the world of White Tony, but before he proposed to meet the Avengers, in order to find a breakthrough in Captain America’s camp, and to collect more information that could convince Scott Lang, he asked Jarvis to call the corresponding record of.

Fortunately, the original Iron Man's record file in this world is surprisingly similar to his own record file. It is not difficult to speculate that, regarding this period of history, the two worlds are similar in purpose.

"You still don't have to trust Stark, you can trust...you can trust other people." Looking at Scott's surprised expression, Tony sighed, "But I still have to say—no matter whose camp you are on Here, I will not harm Pym, whether it is himself, his company, or his family."

But choosing to trust others, such as Steve Rogers, now the captain of Hydra - the results are not certain.

"You're right, I'm just like my father." Tony lowered his fist and took two steps back.

"You can also stay away from Stark's claws like Hank." He crossed his hands again, regaining the calmness he had just started.

After ten seconds of silence, Tony turned off the communication device.He didn't intend to let Scott digest so much information right away, and he didn't even intend to tell the other party his identity and the purpose of his coming.What Scott needs is not the objective truth like Black Widow, but an emotional guidance.

Even though Scott can't give Tony enough feedback, Tony believes that his brain is not only the size of an ant.He would think, he would hesitate, and he would brainstorm and perfect some statements while being isolated from communication with the outside world, and Tony had already given the direction to put together the puzzle.

He didn't have any more conversations with extra people, and the meeting developed here, and Tony was finished.He gestured to the camera, and the hatch opened left and right.He dodged in, and after walking for a while, he saw Steve standing guard in the corridor.

"How?" Steve asked.

Tony smiled secretly, this person really knows what to ask.Obviously observing everything from the camera and monitoring equipment, but still want to spy on his attitude.

"I'm not sure, but I'm trying my best," Tony replied truthfully.

Steve didn't say much, and let four soldiers escort him out of this prison that didn't look like a prison like when he came.

The two buildings were about 50 meters apart. The moment he walked out of the building, Tony stopped.He looked up at the sky, which was as blue as a jewel.

"What time is it?" he asked.

"Five past ten," Steve replied, and he followed Tony's gaze up to the sky.

"I don't know if that's an appropriate request," Tony narrowed his eyes, looking sideways at Steve, "but I want to go for a walk."

"Going for a walk?" Steve's eyes reflected the light, which shone like blond hair.

"Well, you can have a drink or something, or take a stroll," Tony glanced at Beibei, "just the two of us."
