"You know who 29-1 is, don't you, Director?"
Tony said.
Fury: "...What? Hello? Who are you?"
Tony: "Thinking about telling me? Because he's obviously got a really funny mate with him, and I wonder if he and his mate are from the same place. It's okay not to tell me, in fact I'm already starting to regret playing This is the call. Even if you don't leave any clues about him in my intelligence database, I'm sure I'll know his identity within five minutes."
Fury: "...What? Hey? God damn it! I know who you are! Tony Stark! How dare you interfere while my wife and I are on the phone! This is protected by federal law Private communication! Stark! Do you know what private communication is!!!"
Tony: "My God, things change. I always remember you as a bachelor. Say hello to Hill for me, and tell her that she has really bad eyes for men. If she ever wants to In the divorce lawsuit, the strongest legal team on the surface of Stark Enterprises will serve her wholeheartedly. Bye."
Fury: "...Did you fucking want to hang up on me?! You try to hang up on me after hacking my private communication and talking about nothing?! I him Mom hates people hanging up on my phone!"
Tony: "Wait a minute."
He hung up the communication.
Then hack in again.
Tony: "I said Bye just now, so this time I really hung up on you."
Fury: "I fucking #%#..."
He ended the communication gracefully.
Tony: "Friday, come and work."
Model Worker went online on Friday: "Waiting for instructions, Boss."
The man tapped the table with his slender knuckles, and said, "Retrieve all the retrieval records of that artificial intelligence, and all the mission trajectories of 29-1."
Friday: "Got it, Boss."
In the 24th second, Tony looked at the column of SO in the file of the zero-level agent 29-1, and raised his eyebrows higher and higher.
Tony: "Retrieve Captain America's action trajectory for the past six months, and compare it with 29-1's action trajectory before entering S.H.I.E.L.D."
Friday: "Got it, Boss."
After the first minute passed, Tony drank coffee and watched the replay of the battle at the Siberia base.
Tony: "Make a list of Captain America's new address after returning from Siberia, and the surrounding residents, sorted by physical distance. Then compare it with the S.H.I.E.L.D. citizen archives, and pick out those with special records for me. Send another Send a drone over there to see if you can detect high-dimensional artificial intelligence."
Friday: "Got it, Boss."
Friday: "There are 3 groups of families that meet the search criteria. The Atwell family, whose family members encountered a flickering event in January 2020; the Rodney family, whose family members reported being abducted by aliens in 1; the Harris family, Family members were hit by an unknown light in 2001 and suffered severe burns."
Tony glanced at the time when 29-1 was first sighted, took a sip of coffee, and said casually, "Who is the unlucky one in the flickering event?"
Friday: "Sacha Atwell, son of New York Senior Superintendent Johnson Atwell."
The first 2 minutes passed without any change in Tony's posture.
Friday's consciousness came back from the drone: "For the time being, no traces of artificial intelligence activities have been found in that apartment building. But boss, I scanned something more interesting - outside the apartment building, there is an invisible protective shield formed by a magnetic field and a force field The interior of the protective shield is full of high-energy electrons and protons, and based on preliminary calculations of mass, it can completely resist the smashing blows of [-] Hulks."
She projected the simulated [-]D images next to Sasha Atwell's archives.Centered on the apartment building where Sasha Atwell lives, the invisible shield covers a distance of about half a block.However, the people and cars on the street didn't feel any hindrance, and they still walked back and forth inside and outside the edge of the shield.
——The [planetary shield] that can automatically identify the attack intention.
After 3 minutes passed, Tony's posture remained unchanged.
He finished watching Sasha Atwell's Flicker observation report, and continued to watch the S.H.I.E.L.D. hospital video in silence.
The young man was walking with a limp in the picture, his expression was dazed and numb, as if his body was overwhelmed by too many memories.
In the 4th minute, the man spoke out, his voice hoarse: "Estimate the time of Xandar star's big explosion."
Friday: "Got it, Boss."
Friday: "According to the light curve and distance calculations, the annihilation-level explosion of Xandar star will occur around January 2020."
20 minute later.
Happy opened the door again and came in, only to find that the boss was standing in the middle of the workshop with a cup of ice-cold coffee, motionless.
He danced in front of the boss for a while and found that the other party didn't respond at all.
Another 20 minutes passed.
Jefferson, the engineering director of the San Francisco branch, came running in crying, complaining that none of the Cover Girls wanted to have dinner with him.
He found that the man was still holding the cup of ice-cold coffee, staring fixedly at the huge light screen in front of him that carried a huge amount of information.
Friday: "S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury Calls."
Fury: "How? Did you find out?"
Fury: "The promised five minutes to find out?"
Fury: "Hello? Ha, don't hide your voice. If you find out, you will definitely show it off in front of me again. Since you haven't, it's obvious that you failed."
Fury: "Hello?"
Fury: "Hello? Stark! You lost you lost you lost—"
Friday calmly: "Communications cut off."
……
Sasha was carrying a schoolbag, secretly hiding at the door of Hilda's research institute.
He came to pick up his mother from get off work.
These days, I have to prepare for the exam week and work for S.H.I.E.L.D. I used to go home twice a week, but now I haven’t been home for two consecutive weeks.Mom and Dad called him several times, and Sasha faltered and used the excuse of going to Peter's house several times.
In the end, Johnson sent him a text message secretly: [Son, this weekend is a family anniversary, have you... forgot?In the past...before the New York War, we would hang out together every year, and my father had already asked for leave...]
Sasha suddenly remembered.
Family Anniversary is the date on the adoption certificate when Sasha was adopted by Johnson as a child.Hilda and Johnson have always felt that the decision to adopt Sasha is the beginning of a happy life for this reorganized family; so since Sasha was 7 years old, the three of them will gather on this day every year.
Sasha hurriedly replied: [I remember, I remember.I pick up my mother from get off work that Friday? ]
Johnson: [Colson said, you should try to stay away from our previous social circle, let me go, don't let Hilda's colleagues see you. ]
Sasha: [It's okay, I'll wait for her secretly at the door, just get in the car. ]
Hilda's research institute is in the outskirts of New York, almost two hours' drive away from home, but for private laboratories with a shortage of funds, this is the only place where they can barely afford the land.
The little golden retriever pulled up his hood, shrunk his head and hid in the garage, waiting for Hilda to surprise her after get off work.
He didn't squat for long.
I saw a black van, "squeaking" brakes in the garage.
The license plate is blurred and the windows are covered with black reflective film, even the front window.The car door opened, and a group of people came down from inside, walking towards the gate of the institute.
Sasha frowned and stood up slowly.
……
In the laboratory, the students in white coats stood helplessly in the corner, watching Hilda confront dozens of men in front of her.
Hilda Atwell stood in the middle of the laboratory, mottled white hair neatly pulled back into a bun.The female researcher's eyes were calm, but her two hands, which hadn't had time to take off the experimental gloves, clenched tightly on both sides of her body.
"...Obviously, most of your research and development drugs have been confirmed by the FDA as not meeting the marketing standards. However, your students still choose to forge certificates and sell them to the Hoover Group at high prices; are you sure that private individuals with such serious misconduct Laboratories, are they still eligible for federal grants?"
In the center of the laboratory stood a strange man in a neat suit.He looks pretty good, but a pair of hyena-like cunning eyes make him look uncomfortable.
Hilda gritted her teeth slightly.Since she entered the industry, she has always been immersed in research. Faced with this kind of criticism, she can only say one sentence repeatedly: "My students will not do this."
The man in the suit: "Are you sure? You have so many students. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be any of them who are short of pocket money recently, secretly selling substandard drugs to us, and maybe even want to plant a fortune—"
Hilda: "All my students and fellows are in this room. If you are sure you want to bring charges against them, please identify who they are and provide strong evidence. If you have no evidence to support your allegations, you also There is no right to stop the federal government from subsidizing the institute. If you insist on not returning it, I will file a formal complaint with ACLA (American Association of Clinical Laboratories). "
The man in the suit turned his hyena-like eyes and smiled: "Ah... ACLA. By the way, I played golf with their chairman last week. Do you want his phone number? Do you need me to provide it to you now? ?”
Hilda finally understood that the other party was here to find fault.She suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled slightly.
The man in the suit took the opportunity to bully him, "Hilda, you know that I didn't want to go through a lot of trouble with a small research institute like yours. How difficult is it to agree to the Hoover Group's acquisition? It's not that I won't let you continue to do research, I know you like to do these things, wouldn't it be good to do it for me? After so many years, you still haven't grown up..."
Hilda: "——You selfish bastard, you dare to appear in front of me now? What did the professor say when he handed over the research institute to us? Your company is simply trampled on. It was built with the corpse of the professor, don't you know?!"
The man in the suit was humiliated by her in front of her subordinates, his expression turned cold, and he wanted to drag her when he went up.
Before the hand touched it, a red shadow flashed in the corner of his eye.
There was a strong attack in the chest!
The man in the suit staggered and slammed his ass in front of everyone.
Angry and embarrassed, he got up angrily, and found a blond boy in a red hood standing in front of the woman.
The young man's face under the hood was unbelievably white and dazzling; those beautiful peach eyes were full of anger at this moment, like a raging lion cub shooting at him with flames.
"Seriously?" He pretended to be calm and said, "Are you really going to upgrade to this level? You know that if you dare to fight with me, after I get out of here, I can go to any hospital for a medical examination, and my lawyer team will To tear you alive?"
He looked at Sasha suspiciously again, "So this is the son you adopted later? Didn't you say that he died after the New York War? Didn't he die? Why didn't he look like he grew up? With such a medical miracle, he actually hid himself from the media. Public? Comeon, what about the Hippocratic oath you took with your professor when you entered medical school? The so-called 'dedicate your life to humanity'?"
What Hilda was most afraid of was that the matter of Sasha's death would be made public by people with malicious intentions, so she grabbed Sasha to protect her:
"No matter what contract you want me to sign, come to me if you have anything!!"
"Seriously?"
A calm female voice came from the door.
"I seem to have just heard Mr. Hoover, who has been accused of wire money laundering, tax evasion, letter fraud, and corruption of public officials, as well as several attempts to steal the research results of Stark Enterprises, talking about the Hippocratic Oath?"
A beautiful blond woman, wearing a well-tailored black suit skirt, stood gracefully at the door.
Behind her, followed by a dozen lawyers in suits and leather shoes, as well as senior bodyguards with big waists and round arms.When she was walking slowly along the stairs of the laboratory with the large group of people on her high heels, the men brought by the man in the suit looked at each other and subconsciously took several steps back.
Hilda was protecting Sasha with a confused look on her face.
She didn't read much economic news, so she didn't recognize the woman who came in suddenly.
The man in the suit and Sasha both opened their eyes wide.
The blond woman smiled and said, "Everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm the CEO of Stark Industries, Pepper Potts."
Pepper was on the phone in the corridor with a relaxed and calm expression.
Not far behind her, the scene was chaotic for a while.
The man in the suit tried to strike first, but his arm was twisted.He clamored for the crime of personal injury for a while, and cursed Stark for monopoly libel.
Beep, beep, beep, she didn't bother to pay attention.
I just confirmed that Hilda and the students were indeed brought out and were standing within the protection circle of the bodyguards.
Pepper: "...Yes, we just caught up. Wait a minute, there is a child who seems to want to talk to me, I will call you back later. Don't hang up? Then you wait for a while."
She temporarily pressed the phone to her chest, turned her head, and looked at the owner of the footsteps.
It was the handsome blond boy in the lab.
He had already pulled off the red hood, and his blond hair, which was too soft, was scratched at the back of his head, revealing that bright little face.
But what doesn't match that slightly immature, clean and beautiful face is the clear green pupils that have accumulated infinite years and emotions.
Pepper looked at him, smiled and said, "Hi, boy. You're supposed to be Hilda Atwell's son, aren't you? I was about to come over to discuss cooperation, but I didn't expect this to happen. Hope Neither you nor your mother was much frightened."
The boy said, "Hello, Pepper."
The way he addressed Pepper gave her a strange feeling—as if they had known each other for years, or were very familiar old friends.
She tried hard to look at the boy's face for a while, trying to dig out the picture in her memory.
But she failed.
Pepper felt very guilty for no reason, so he frowned desperately and thought again.
The teenager said: "It's okay, don't feel guilty. I know you won't remember me, but... thank you for being here. Really."
Pepper was very gentle: "I guess, did I meet you at some banquet? I'm really sorry. Was it a good memory? If so, please let me know too, okay?"
The boy tilted his head and thought for a while.
He finally smiled and said, "Accurately speaking, it's not very beautiful...but everything I've experienced with you is still precious."
The boy left.
Pepper put his ear on the phone again, looked at Hoover who was led out of the laboratory by two bodyguards, and said, "Well, Tony, it seems that your strongest legal team on the surface should work overtime."
Pepper: "To be honest, I don't want Hoover Pharmaceuticals very much. My assessment is that the value of absorbing Hilda Atwell, a medical talent, is much higher than that of that group. But if you insist on acquiring They, I will have the lawyers draw up the framework agreement tonight."
Pepper: "So what's your decision, boss?"
Pepper: "..."
Pepper: "Hello? Tony?"
Pepper: "Hello?"
Pepper: "..."
Pepper calmly: "Tony, don't tell me, you are the same as 7 years ago, crying inexplicably while blacksmithing in the workshop. I can rush over to comfort you the first time, but I really can't bear it the second time." Spit out your lunch. How old are you?"
Tony growled hoarsely on the other end of the phone: "...I didn't!!"
……
Sasha returns to Hilda.
The student next to him murmured to Sasha that the Hoover group had actually been coming every week for the past few months, and they couldn't be driven away. They were so disgusting.
The [Eyed Pea] who was following Hilda was responsible for protecting her personal safety. Of course, he would not call the police to Sasha for this level of harassment.And Sasha also listened to Coulson's words, not to meet people who knew him before, so as not to bring unnecessary attention to the ordinary Atwell family.
…So, if he didn't come today and wait for Hilda to get off work, he might never know for the rest of his life that this was going to happen to Mommy's work.
Hilda was sitting on a bench at the entrance of the institute, holding her white coat and not speaking.
She sat for a while, and the boy's warm body came over and slowly hugged her shoulders.
Hilda rested her head on the boy's not-so-broad shoulders, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled softly:
"Here it goes again. This feeling again."
Sasha: "How does it feel, Mommy?"
Hilda: "When I first saw you, I thought you were a wonderful child - so wonderful that it was not like this world, not something we could have alone. You came over and asked me for candy Eat, then put your little face in my palm, and smile at me so happily, as if all the sufferings are fleeting. From then on, I know you will always be my little prince, and you will always be in Be with me at times like this..."
Sasha knew that when he met his adoptive mother in the hospital when he was a child, Hilda was admitted to the hospital after an attempted suicide by slitting her wrists.She vaguely mentioned that the professor who raised her died at the time, and her ex-husband took away the most precious research results of the professor, ruining her reputation.But then they were released from the hospital together, found a new home in Manhattan, and agreed to never talk about the past, including her ex-husband, including Johnson's dead daughter, including Sasha's dark life of being trafficked.
It seemed that the man with hyena-like eyes was Hilda's ex-husband.
Sasha couldn't understand, but she felt uncomfortable, and knew that Hilda was not feeling well now.
He stroked his mother's back slowly.
Hilda whispered, "Don't tell Daddy, sweetie."
Sasha said, "Okay, Mommy. Let's go home together? Tomorrow is family anniversary."
Hilda hurriedly said, "That's right...Family anniversary."
Peibo waited quietly in the distance for a while, until the embracing mother and child separated, then she took a stack of paper documents and tentatively approached them.
Pepper: "Hello, Mrs. Atwell. Today should not be a good time to negotiate, but maybe you can take these letters of intent home and have a look. This is related to the research institute under the name of Professor Joyce, and the funding chain will be stable in the future I think you will be very interested in the question. I sincerely hope that you will cooperate with us."
Hilda hadn't fully recovered, she looked at the other party in a daze for a while, and then remembered that the intellectual and elegant blond woman in front of her seemed to say that she was the "CEO of Stark Industries"...
Hilda thought she had misheard: "...S, Stark Industries??"
No matter how obsessively you do research, as long as you are an American, you will definitely know the two huge business giants Stark Industries and Wayne Group.They are known as "covering everything a person may come into contact with from birth to death, even coffin materials".Because Stark Industries is headquartered in Manhattan, the owner is the richest man in New York. For New Yorkers, the reputation can be described as thunderous.
Pepper nodded and confirmed, "Stark Industries."
Seeing that Hilda had calmed down from the incident just now, she knelt down, put her hands on her knees soothingly, and said softly:
"Stark Industries intends to provide long-term funding for your private research institute, and retains the authorship of scientific research papers, ownership of scientific and technological achievements, and long-term use rights of members of the institute. According to the letter of intent in your hand, Stark Industries will provide for the research institute under your name. The funding cycle is tentatively set at 8-10 years, and the annual stable funding amount is about 273 million US dollars. If you think the amount is open to discussion, you can ask me or the drafting lawyer, and we will re-draw the contract within this week.”
Hilda was hit by numbers one after another, staring at her eyes: "...Huh?"
She looked at the suburban laboratory living in a dilapidated two-storey residential building, then at the blond woman with peaceful eyes in front of her, then at the ace lawyers in suits not far away, and finally at whether they had been dragged into the car by the federal police. Hoover in shadow.
Inexplicably began to feel a little dizzy.
Hilda was getting old and couldn't stand the stimulation, so she held her head: "Wait a minute, wait a minute...Is it because, is it because of Professor Joyce? But I don't remember him mentioning that he knew Stark Anyone in industry..."
Pepper smiled: "Actually, it's not. It's because our big boss behind the scenes discovered your research direction and talent, and it is very likely to untie the recent research bottleneck of Stark Industries - so I was sent to find out .”
The whole world knows who is behind Stark Industries.
——The world-famous Iron Man, the richest man in New York, Anthony Edward Stark.
Hilda was at a loss for what to do: "But, but, but he...why did he come to help me?"
Although she has some accomplishments in medical research, she is only well-known in a small circle; Stark Industries spans the world, and the most indispensable thing is talents...
She finally accepted the reality that there is a national idol living in front of her house, but now the current CEO of Stark Industries came to fund the research institute in person, and it is very likely that in the near future, the richest man in New York will become her boss? ? ?
Pepper smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I don't know much about this. But there is no need to delve into it. If you were a researcher at Stark Industries before, you will know that the boss's style has always been so out of the ordinary."
Pepper and Hilda agreed on a time to discuss the project in detail, and asked her to go home early to rest.Hilda didn't forget to ask her: "Please don't say anything about Sasha, he has experienced enough, I don't want the media to disturb his current life anymore—"
Pepper blinked: "I'll take care of it. No one met your son who died 8 years ago today, did they?"
On the way home, Hilda kept holding Sasha's hand tightly, always feeling as if she was still floating in a dream.
Since she adopted Sasha in the hospital, she has determined not to take her own life lightly. She gathered her former friends and students to build her own pure land from scratch, and carry on the last wish of her mentor to the end.
The cost of medical research is already expensive. Among the famous star-studded research institutes in the United States, she couldn't win too many subsidies and resources, so she could only grit her teeth and go on. Losing her son in the Battle of New York eight years ago was simply the second major trauma in her life.
After that, she and Johnson were sluggish for a while, and the work of the institute was put on hold for a long time, and the little bottom that they managed to save in the past was also taken away by colleagues who left one after another.
But now, inexplicably has a god-level backer like Stark Industries, a stable amount of capital flow every year, and for private research institutes, the highest funding period——
She can even recruit at least 10 more excellent researchers, and reopen all the projects that had to be closed due to lack of funds...
Hilda was dizzy for a while, leaned over and asked Sasha in a low voice: "Could it be... Zai Zai, do you know Mr. Stark?"
Sasha: "...How is it possible, Mommy."
Hilda covered her head, shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes, yes. You see, I was so scared and confused. I might as well say that you know Mr. Wayne."
Sasha: "..."
To be honest, he felt that he was more confused than Hilda.
Since his rebirth, the plot seems... not to develop as he imagined at all...
Sasha was very conflicted, but couldn't help being proud of Hilda: [But, but in fact, my mother is also very good, although I can't understand the papers she published in the Lancet... It seems that the industry is also...not so...not so strange...? 】
There was a sound above his head.
The familiar golden-red armor crossed the sky of Manhattan again, leading to a grand scene of a large group of people bouncing and chasing on the street.
Sasha watched him silently for a while, and found that the direction Iron Man was heading was not Stark Tower.
that position...
How does it look like your own home? ? ?
Iron Man circled indiscriminately over the block where Atwell's family lived; he struggled for a while, puffed on the soles of his feet, and rushed towards Washington again.
Sasha also knows what Washington has-it is estimated that he wants to go to the Trident headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.
But regardless of the restart before and after the restart, Iron Man is originally a consultant of SHIELD, and it is quite normal to visit SHIELD.
He looked around casually, then took his mother's hand and went home.
……
Tony falls into the Iron Man tunnel in S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
The arc-shaped auxiliary armor device rose up, and methodically removed pieces of hard armor from the owner's body.But obviously, the owner of the armor was too fast, and the auxiliary device couldn't keep up. He grabbed the armor's boots desperately, and Tony slowed down.
Tony irritatedly: "Fuck! I'm going to scrap this thing, I'll take it off myself!"
The putting on and taking off assist device was created to improve Iron Man's style: "..."
He stormed into S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, grabbed Steve, who was training with the Howling Commandos, based on the location reported on Friday.
Steve: "... Stark?!"
Then he came to an empty room and clicked a few buttons on the light screen.
Anti-eavesdropping electronic shielding walls, whirring up all around.
Steve's face was not very good, and he said, "What's wrong?"
Tony went straight to the point: "When did you recover your memory?"
Steve frowned suddenly.
Steve: "2015."
Tony murmured, "God, no wonder."
They had a fight in Fulian Building in 2013.
Tony had just recovered his pre-reboot memories at that time.For a whole month, the man walked around the base anxiously like a trapped animal, pulling his neckline loose from time to time, as if just breathing air would make him anxious.
Natasha couldn't bear it, and asked him what he thought of them. The brown-eyed man said:
"Opinion? No—Natasha, no. I'm the last person to have an opinion of you guys, I'm mad at myself. Look at the bullshit I was saying the year I debuted—'There's Iron Man That's enough, Iron Man can protect everyone'? I can't even fucking protect a kid who saved me!! What's more, I didn't even remember him before - and I'm [-]% Definitely, the only way this world can get a chance to do it all over again is because of that child—"
At that time, Steve just walked in through the gate of the Avengers base.
Like everyone present, he couldn't understand Tony's illogical nonsense.
So he asked, "What the hell are you talking about? Who is that kid?"
Tony, who was tugging at the collar and circling anxiously, suddenly froze.
After freezing for five seconds.
He said, "Fuck."
Before turning to face Steve, Tony touched the reactor on his chest with his fingertips.
The blood-edge nano armor started from the reactor, and instantly "crackled" covered his whole body.
The next second, the tall golden-red armor soared into the air, rushed over and grabbed Steve by the neckline, and slammed him into the wall!
The man's voice was already slightly hoarse.
"Steve Rogers, don't you remember anything?! The kid who rescued you back to the base and waved us goodbye at the gate of the base - don't you remember?! Turn back time and pretend nothing happened , as if he never existed, and death is in vain, is that what you mean?!"
"...Damn it, we are the ones who shouldn't forget him...!!"
Steve subconsciously raised his hand to block.
But he was stunned.
Because at the moment before the steel mask was completely closed, he saw the red eye circles of the other party.
This dispute finally ended with Saul intervening in the fight.
The tall golden-red armor spouted fire from the soles of its feet, floating in the air and looking at them, looking extremely lonely.
Tony finally said, "It's kind of stuffy in here. I'm going to go out and relax."
As soon as he was distracted, he scattered from Manhattan to San Francisco in the west.
He would still come back when Manhattan needed armed support.
But most of the time, Tony stayed in San Francisco to establish the Stark Industries division, as well as local charity and energy upgrade work.
This city has a crime that he should pay for.
Tony was so angry that his hands were shaking, he paced back and forth in the room, "You found out that the child was Sasha, but you didn't tell me a word?! How could you—you—you knew that I—"
Steve said quietly: "You know. Stark, I don't want to tell you, but there are some things I haven't fully understood. I wanted to wait until Batman returned to Earth to test how many people there are on the Zhenglian side." People have memories, and then find out with Batman why Sasha came back.
"And you—no offense, I mean you who have not been corrupted by the axis of good and evil—obviously lost control easily when it comes to Sasha. I'm not sure when you know that Sasha is back with us , whether there will be unexpected behaviors that no one can predict."
Tony glared at him angrily, "That's it?! No sudden action is an excuse for you to hide Sasha—"
...As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered with a guilty conscience that in the San Francisco workshop, the handwritten drafts were piled up on the workbench...
He wanted the world to know about Sasha.Knowing what Sasha did when everyone was in the dark, not after that kid gave everything and fought against the fate imposed on this world, the uninformed come to a new timeline and think that all they have is This should be the case, and then enjoy their new life with peace of mind.
Just thinking about it made his chest feel tight.
The draft was almost sent out - if it wasn't because he suddenly remembered that there was still a debt that had not been settled with the captain.
Tony said hoarsely: "Captain, Superman has also recovered his memory. The visual time is earlier than us."
When he said this word, he felt that the aura of the calm and kind blond soldier on the opposite side had cooled down.
But although the soldier's eyes were cold, he still held his shield well, and did not express any opinions about Superman.
Tony: "In 2015, I went to the Fortress of Solitude and found that Superman seemed to have been looking for Sasha. And I suspect that his sudden actions a year ago, including taking the three Infinity Stones off Earth, were all because he finally found found a really effective way—”
Steve lowered his voice: "I know that the Mind Gem can control people's hearts. And the Cosmic Rubik's Cube was taken back from the Red Skull's base. It can obviously achieve unconditional spatial displacement. But any one has nothing to do with resurrection of life ——What's more, Sasha's situation is not just as simple as resurrection. He completely changed his face and identity, and became the child of a Manhattan couple. When I contacted him, I found that he was not surprised by this at all , as if... as if he had already decided this was where he belonged. As much as I'm genuinely happy for him, I'm still confused as to how this could be brought about."
Tony: "I hacked into the intelligence library of the watchtower. This is the information that the old bat got: There is an ancient legend in Titan and Asgard, if you can collect all 6 infinite gems, in addition to creating one that you can't lift Apart from stones, they can grant any wish of the bearer."
For a while, neither of them spoke, they just stared at each other silently.
There was a faint knock on the door.
It was Coulson's voice: "Who's in there? Stark, is it you? I see the shielding wall. Glad you're back in Manhattan, but can I come in and get some papers..."
…Seconds later, he was captured by two of the most famous heroes of the Avengers, forced to sit on a small bench, and racked his brains to spit out everything about the youngest son of the Atwell family.
How Sasha was rescued from the centipede organization laboratory when he was young, how he was adopted by Johnson in the hospital when he vomited, and then vomited to the 2012 New York War, and the 2020 Shimmer incident...
Tony said.
Fury: "...What? Hello? Who are you?"
Tony: "Thinking about telling me? Because he's obviously got a really funny mate with him, and I wonder if he and his mate are from the same place. It's okay not to tell me, in fact I'm already starting to regret playing This is the call. Even if you don't leave any clues about him in my intelligence database, I'm sure I'll know his identity within five minutes."
Fury: "...What? Hey? God damn it! I know who you are! Tony Stark! How dare you interfere while my wife and I are on the phone! This is protected by federal law Private communication! Stark! Do you know what private communication is!!!"
Tony: "My God, things change. I always remember you as a bachelor. Say hello to Hill for me, and tell her that she has really bad eyes for men. If she ever wants to In the divorce lawsuit, the strongest legal team on the surface of Stark Enterprises will serve her wholeheartedly. Bye."
Fury: "...Did you fucking want to hang up on me?! You try to hang up on me after hacking my private communication and talking about nothing?! I him Mom hates people hanging up on my phone!"
Tony: "Wait a minute."
He hung up the communication.
Then hack in again.
Tony: "I said Bye just now, so this time I really hung up on you."
Fury: "I fucking #%#..."
He ended the communication gracefully.
Tony: "Friday, come and work."
Model Worker went online on Friday: "Waiting for instructions, Boss."
The man tapped the table with his slender knuckles, and said, "Retrieve all the retrieval records of that artificial intelligence, and all the mission trajectories of 29-1."
Friday: "Got it, Boss."
In the 24th second, Tony looked at the column of SO in the file of the zero-level agent 29-1, and raised his eyebrows higher and higher.
Tony: "Retrieve Captain America's action trajectory for the past six months, and compare it with 29-1's action trajectory before entering S.H.I.E.L.D."
Friday: "Got it, Boss."
After the first minute passed, Tony drank coffee and watched the replay of the battle at the Siberia base.
Tony: "Make a list of Captain America's new address after returning from Siberia, and the surrounding residents, sorted by physical distance. Then compare it with the S.H.I.E.L.D. citizen archives, and pick out those with special records for me. Send another Send a drone over there to see if you can detect high-dimensional artificial intelligence."
Friday: "Got it, Boss."
Friday: "There are 3 groups of families that meet the search criteria. The Atwell family, whose family members encountered a flickering event in January 2020; the Rodney family, whose family members reported being abducted by aliens in 1; the Harris family, Family members were hit by an unknown light in 2001 and suffered severe burns."
Tony glanced at the time when 29-1 was first sighted, took a sip of coffee, and said casually, "Who is the unlucky one in the flickering event?"
Friday: "Sacha Atwell, son of New York Senior Superintendent Johnson Atwell."
The first 2 minutes passed without any change in Tony's posture.
Friday's consciousness came back from the drone: "For the time being, no traces of artificial intelligence activities have been found in that apartment building. But boss, I scanned something more interesting - outside the apartment building, there is an invisible protective shield formed by a magnetic field and a force field The interior of the protective shield is full of high-energy electrons and protons, and based on preliminary calculations of mass, it can completely resist the smashing blows of [-] Hulks."
She projected the simulated [-]D images next to Sasha Atwell's archives.Centered on the apartment building where Sasha Atwell lives, the invisible shield covers a distance of about half a block.However, the people and cars on the street didn't feel any hindrance, and they still walked back and forth inside and outside the edge of the shield.
——The [planetary shield] that can automatically identify the attack intention.
After 3 minutes passed, Tony's posture remained unchanged.
He finished watching Sasha Atwell's Flicker observation report, and continued to watch the S.H.I.E.L.D. hospital video in silence.
The young man was walking with a limp in the picture, his expression was dazed and numb, as if his body was overwhelmed by too many memories.
In the 4th minute, the man spoke out, his voice hoarse: "Estimate the time of Xandar star's big explosion."
Friday: "Got it, Boss."
Friday: "According to the light curve and distance calculations, the annihilation-level explosion of Xandar star will occur around January 2020."
20 minute later.
Happy opened the door again and came in, only to find that the boss was standing in the middle of the workshop with a cup of ice-cold coffee, motionless.
He danced in front of the boss for a while and found that the other party didn't respond at all.
Another 20 minutes passed.
Jefferson, the engineering director of the San Francisco branch, came running in crying, complaining that none of the Cover Girls wanted to have dinner with him.
He found that the man was still holding the cup of ice-cold coffee, staring fixedly at the huge light screen in front of him that carried a huge amount of information.
Friday: "S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury Calls."
Fury: "How? Did you find out?"
Fury: "The promised five minutes to find out?"
Fury: "Hello? Ha, don't hide your voice. If you find out, you will definitely show it off in front of me again. Since you haven't, it's obvious that you failed."
Fury: "Hello?"
Fury: "Hello? Stark! You lost you lost you lost—"
Friday calmly: "Communications cut off."
……
Sasha was carrying a schoolbag, secretly hiding at the door of Hilda's research institute.
He came to pick up his mother from get off work.
These days, I have to prepare for the exam week and work for S.H.I.E.L.D. I used to go home twice a week, but now I haven’t been home for two consecutive weeks.Mom and Dad called him several times, and Sasha faltered and used the excuse of going to Peter's house several times.
In the end, Johnson sent him a text message secretly: [Son, this weekend is a family anniversary, have you... forgot?In the past...before the New York War, we would hang out together every year, and my father had already asked for leave...]
Sasha suddenly remembered.
Family Anniversary is the date on the adoption certificate when Sasha was adopted by Johnson as a child.Hilda and Johnson have always felt that the decision to adopt Sasha is the beginning of a happy life for this reorganized family; so since Sasha was 7 years old, the three of them will gather on this day every year.
Sasha hurriedly replied: [I remember, I remember.I pick up my mother from get off work that Friday? ]
Johnson: [Colson said, you should try to stay away from our previous social circle, let me go, don't let Hilda's colleagues see you. ]
Sasha: [It's okay, I'll wait for her secretly at the door, just get in the car. ]
Hilda's research institute is in the outskirts of New York, almost two hours' drive away from home, but for private laboratories with a shortage of funds, this is the only place where they can barely afford the land.
The little golden retriever pulled up his hood, shrunk his head and hid in the garage, waiting for Hilda to surprise her after get off work.
He didn't squat for long.
I saw a black van, "squeaking" brakes in the garage.
The license plate is blurred and the windows are covered with black reflective film, even the front window.The car door opened, and a group of people came down from inside, walking towards the gate of the institute.
Sasha frowned and stood up slowly.
……
In the laboratory, the students in white coats stood helplessly in the corner, watching Hilda confront dozens of men in front of her.
Hilda Atwell stood in the middle of the laboratory, mottled white hair neatly pulled back into a bun.The female researcher's eyes were calm, but her two hands, which hadn't had time to take off the experimental gloves, clenched tightly on both sides of her body.
"...Obviously, most of your research and development drugs have been confirmed by the FDA as not meeting the marketing standards. However, your students still choose to forge certificates and sell them to the Hoover Group at high prices; are you sure that private individuals with such serious misconduct Laboratories, are they still eligible for federal grants?"
In the center of the laboratory stood a strange man in a neat suit.He looks pretty good, but a pair of hyena-like cunning eyes make him look uncomfortable.
Hilda gritted her teeth slightly.Since she entered the industry, she has always been immersed in research. Faced with this kind of criticism, she can only say one sentence repeatedly: "My students will not do this."
The man in the suit: "Are you sure? You have so many students. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be any of them who are short of pocket money recently, secretly selling substandard drugs to us, and maybe even want to plant a fortune—"
Hilda: "All my students and fellows are in this room. If you are sure you want to bring charges against them, please identify who they are and provide strong evidence. If you have no evidence to support your allegations, you also There is no right to stop the federal government from subsidizing the institute. If you insist on not returning it, I will file a formal complaint with ACLA (American Association of Clinical Laboratories). "
The man in the suit turned his hyena-like eyes and smiled: "Ah... ACLA. By the way, I played golf with their chairman last week. Do you want his phone number? Do you need me to provide it to you now? ?”
Hilda finally understood that the other party was here to find fault.She suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled slightly.
The man in the suit took the opportunity to bully him, "Hilda, you know that I didn't want to go through a lot of trouble with a small research institute like yours. How difficult is it to agree to the Hoover Group's acquisition? It's not that I won't let you continue to do research, I know you like to do these things, wouldn't it be good to do it for me? After so many years, you still haven't grown up..."
Hilda: "——You selfish bastard, you dare to appear in front of me now? What did the professor say when he handed over the research institute to us? Your company is simply trampled on. It was built with the corpse of the professor, don't you know?!"
The man in the suit was humiliated by her in front of her subordinates, his expression turned cold, and he wanted to drag her when he went up.
Before the hand touched it, a red shadow flashed in the corner of his eye.
There was a strong attack in the chest!
The man in the suit staggered and slammed his ass in front of everyone.
Angry and embarrassed, he got up angrily, and found a blond boy in a red hood standing in front of the woman.
The young man's face under the hood was unbelievably white and dazzling; those beautiful peach eyes were full of anger at this moment, like a raging lion cub shooting at him with flames.
"Seriously?" He pretended to be calm and said, "Are you really going to upgrade to this level? You know that if you dare to fight with me, after I get out of here, I can go to any hospital for a medical examination, and my lawyer team will To tear you alive?"
He looked at Sasha suspiciously again, "So this is the son you adopted later? Didn't you say that he died after the New York War? Didn't he die? Why didn't he look like he grew up? With such a medical miracle, he actually hid himself from the media. Public? Comeon, what about the Hippocratic oath you took with your professor when you entered medical school? The so-called 'dedicate your life to humanity'?"
What Hilda was most afraid of was that the matter of Sasha's death would be made public by people with malicious intentions, so she grabbed Sasha to protect her:
"No matter what contract you want me to sign, come to me if you have anything!!"
"Seriously?"
A calm female voice came from the door.
"I seem to have just heard Mr. Hoover, who has been accused of wire money laundering, tax evasion, letter fraud, and corruption of public officials, as well as several attempts to steal the research results of Stark Enterprises, talking about the Hippocratic Oath?"
A beautiful blond woman, wearing a well-tailored black suit skirt, stood gracefully at the door.
Behind her, followed by a dozen lawyers in suits and leather shoes, as well as senior bodyguards with big waists and round arms.When she was walking slowly along the stairs of the laboratory with the large group of people on her high heels, the men brought by the man in the suit looked at each other and subconsciously took several steps back.
Hilda was protecting Sasha with a confused look on her face.
She didn't read much economic news, so she didn't recognize the woman who came in suddenly.
The man in the suit and Sasha both opened their eyes wide.
The blond woman smiled and said, "Everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm the CEO of Stark Industries, Pepper Potts."
Pepper was on the phone in the corridor with a relaxed and calm expression.
Not far behind her, the scene was chaotic for a while.
The man in the suit tried to strike first, but his arm was twisted.He clamored for the crime of personal injury for a while, and cursed Stark for monopoly libel.
Beep, beep, beep, she didn't bother to pay attention.
I just confirmed that Hilda and the students were indeed brought out and were standing within the protection circle of the bodyguards.
Pepper: "...Yes, we just caught up. Wait a minute, there is a child who seems to want to talk to me, I will call you back later. Don't hang up? Then you wait for a while."
She temporarily pressed the phone to her chest, turned her head, and looked at the owner of the footsteps.
It was the handsome blond boy in the lab.
He had already pulled off the red hood, and his blond hair, which was too soft, was scratched at the back of his head, revealing that bright little face.
But what doesn't match that slightly immature, clean and beautiful face is the clear green pupils that have accumulated infinite years and emotions.
Pepper looked at him, smiled and said, "Hi, boy. You're supposed to be Hilda Atwell's son, aren't you? I was about to come over to discuss cooperation, but I didn't expect this to happen. Hope Neither you nor your mother was much frightened."
The boy said, "Hello, Pepper."
The way he addressed Pepper gave her a strange feeling—as if they had known each other for years, or were very familiar old friends.
She tried hard to look at the boy's face for a while, trying to dig out the picture in her memory.
But she failed.
Pepper felt very guilty for no reason, so he frowned desperately and thought again.
The teenager said: "It's okay, don't feel guilty. I know you won't remember me, but... thank you for being here. Really."
Pepper was very gentle: "I guess, did I meet you at some banquet? I'm really sorry. Was it a good memory? If so, please let me know too, okay?"
The boy tilted his head and thought for a while.
He finally smiled and said, "Accurately speaking, it's not very beautiful...but everything I've experienced with you is still precious."
The boy left.
Pepper put his ear on the phone again, looked at Hoover who was led out of the laboratory by two bodyguards, and said, "Well, Tony, it seems that your strongest legal team on the surface should work overtime."
Pepper: "To be honest, I don't want Hoover Pharmaceuticals very much. My assessment is that the value of absorbing Hilda Atwell, a medical talent, is much higher than that of that group. But if you insist on acquiring They, I will have the lawyers draw up the framework agreement tonight."
Pepper: "So what's your decision, boss?"
Pepper: "..."
Pepper: "Hello? Tony?"
Pepper: "Hello?"
Pepper: "..."
Pepper calmly: "Tony, don't tell me, you are the same as 7 years ago, crying inexplicably while blacksmithing in the workshop. I can rush over to comfort you the first time, but I really can't bear it the second time." Spit out your lunch. How old are you?"
Tony growled hoarsely on the other end of the phone: "...I didn't!!"
……
Sasha returns to Hilda.
The student next to him murmured to Sasha that the Hoover group had actually been coming every week for the past few months, and they couldn't be driven away. They were so disgusting.
The [Eyed Pea] who was following Hilda was responsible for protecting her personal safety. Of course, he would not call the police to Sasha for this level of harassment.And Sasha also listened to Coulson's words, not to meet people who knew him before, so as not to bring unnecessary attention to the ordinary Atwell family.
…So, if he didn't come today and wait for Hilda to get off work, he might never know for the rest of his life that this was going to happen to Mommy's work.
Hilda was sitting on a bench at the entrance of the institute, holding her white coat and not speaking.
She sat for a while, and the boy's warm body came over and slowly hugged her shoulders.
Hilda rested her head on the boy's not-so-broad shoulders, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled softly:
"Here it goes again. This feeling again."
Sasha: "How does it feel, Mommy?"
Hilda: "When I first saw you, I thought you were a wonderful child - so wonderful that it was not like this world, not something we could have alone. You came over and asked me for candy Eat, then put your little face in my palm, and smile at me so happily, as if all the sufferings are fleeting. From then on, I know you will always be my little prince, and you will always be in Be with me at times like this..."
Sasha knew that when he met his adoptive mother in the hospital when he was a child, Hilda was admitted to the hospital after an attempted suicide by slitting her wrists.She vaguely mentioned that the professor who raised her died at the time, and her ex-husband took away the most precious research results of the professor, ruining her reputation.But then they were released from the hospital together, found a new home in Manhattan, and agreed to never talk about the past, including her ex-husband, including Johnson's dead daughter, including Sasha's dark life of being trafficked.
It seemed that the man with hyena-like eyes was Hilda's ex-husband.
Sasha couldn't understand, but she felt uncomfortable, and knew that Hilda was not feeling well now.
He stroked his mother's back slowly.
Hilda whispered, "Don't tell Daddy, sweetie."
Sasha said, "Okay, Mommy. Let's go home together? Tomorrow is family anniversary."
Hilda hurriedly said, "That's right...Family anniversary."
Peibo waited quietly in the distance for a while, until the embracing mother and child separated, then she took a stack of paper documents and tentatively approached them.
Pepper: "Hello, Mrs. Atwell. Today should not be a good time to negotiate, but maybe you can take these letters of intent home and have a look. This is related to the research institute under the name of Professor Joyce, and the funding chain will be stable in the future I think you will be very interested in the question. I sincerely hope that you will cooperate with us."
Hilda hadn't fully recovered, she looked at the other party in a daze for a while, and then remembered that the intellectual and elegant blond woman in front of her seemed to say that she was the "CEO of Stark Industries"...
Hilda thought she had misheard: "...S, Stark Industries??"
No matter how obsessively you do research, as long as you are an American, you will definitely know the two huge business giants Stark Industries and Wayne Group.They are known as "covering everything a person may come into contact with from birth to death, even coffin materials".Because Stark Industries is headquartered in Manhattan, the owner is the richest man in New York. For New Yorkers, the reputation can be described as thunderous.
Pepper nodded and confirmed, "Stark Industries."
Seeing that Hilda had calmed down from the incident just now, she knelt down, put her hands on her knees soothingly, and said softly:
"Stark Industries intends to provide long-term funding for your private research institute, and retains the authorship of scientific research papers, ownership of scientific and technological achievements, and long-term use rights of members of the institute. According to the letter of intent in your hand, Stark Industries will provide for the research institute under your name. The funding cycle is tentatively set at 8-10 years, and the annual stable funding amount is about 273 million US dollars. If you think the amount is open to discussion, you can ask me or the drafting lawyer, and we will re-draw the contract within this week.”
Hilda was hit by numbers one after another, staring at her eyes: "...Huh?"
She looked at the suburban laboratory living in a dilapidated two-storey residential building, then at the blond woman with peaceful eyes in front of her, then at the ace lawyers in suits not far away, and finally at whether they had been dragged into the car by the federal police. Hoover in shadow.
Inexplicably began to feel a little dizzy.
Hilda was getting old and couldn't stand the stimulation, so she held her head: "Wait a minute, wait a minute...Is it because, is it because of Professor Joyce? But I don't remember him mentioning that he knew Stark Anyone in industry..."
Pepper smiled: "Actually, it's not. It's because our big boss behind the scenes discovered your research direction and talent, and it is very likely to untie the recent research bottleneck of Stark Industries - so I was sent to find out .”
The whole world knows who is behind Stark Industries.
——The world-famous Iron Man, the richest man in New York, Anthony Edward Stark.
Hilda was at a loss for what to do: "But, but, but he...why did he come to help me?"
Although she has some accomplishments in medical research, she is only well-known in a small circle; Stark Industries spans the world, and the most indispensable thing is talents...
She finally accepted the reality that there is a national idol living in front of her house, but now the current CEO of Stark Industries came to fund the research institute in person, and it is very likely that in the near future, the richest man in New York will become her boss? ? ?
Pepper smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I don't know much about this. But there is no need to delve into it. If you were a researcher at Stark Industries before, you will know that the boss's style has always been so out of the ordinary."
Pepper and Hilda agreed on a time to discuss the project in detail, and asked her to go home early to rest.Hilda didn't forget to ask her: "Please don't say anything about Sasha, he has experienced enough, I don't want the media to disturb his current life anymore—"
Pepper blinked: "I'll take care of it. No one met your son who died 8 years ago today, did they?"
On the way home, Hilda kept holding Sasha's hand tightly, always feeling as if she was still floating in a dream.
Since she adopted Sasha in the hospital, she has determined not to take her own life lightly. She gathered her former friends and students to build her own pure land from scratch, and carry on the last wish of her mentor to the end.
The cost of medical research is already expensive. Among the famous star-studded research institutes in the United States, she couldn't win too many subsidies and resources, so she could only grit her teeth and go on. Losing her son in the Battle of New York eight years ago was simply the second major trauma in her life.
After that, she and Johnson were sluggish for a while, and the work of the institute was put on hold for a long time, and the little bottom that they managed to save in the past was also taken away by colleagues who left one after another.
But now, inexplicably has a god-level backer like Stark Industries, a stable amount of capital flow every year, and for private research institutes, the highest funding period——
She can even recruit at least 10 more excellent researchers, and reopen all the projects that had to be closed due to lack of funds...
Hilda was dizzy for a while, leaned over and asked Sasha in a low voice: "Could it be... Zai Zai, do you know Mr. Stark?"
Sasha: "...How is it possible, Mommy."
Hilda covered her head, shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes, yes. You see, I was so scared and confused. I might as well say that you know Mr. Wayne."
Sasha: "..."
To be honest, he felt that he was more confused than Hilda.
Since his rebirth, the plot seems... not to develop as he imagined at all...
Sasha was very conflicted, but couldn't help being proud of Hilda: [But, but in fact, my mother is also very good, although I can't understand the papers she published in the Lancet... It seems that the industry is also...not so...not so strange...? 】
There was a sound above his head.
The familiar golden-red armor crossed the sky of Manhattan again, leading to a grand scene of a large group of people bouncing and chasing on the street.
Sasha watched him silently for a while, and found that the direction Iron Man was heading was not Stark Tower.
that position...
How does it look like your own home? ? ?
Iron Man circled indiscriminately over the block where Atwell's family lived; he struggled for a while, puffed on the soles of his feet, and rushed towards Washington again.
Sasha also knows what Washington has-it is estimated that he wants to go to the Trident headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.
But regardless of the restart before and after the restart, Iron Man is originally a consultant of SHIELD, and it is quite normal to visit SHIELD.
He looked around casually, then took his mother's hand and went home.
……
Tony falls into the Iron Man tunnel in S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
The arc-shaped auxiliary armor device rose up, and methodically removed pieces of hard armor from the owner's body.But obviously, the owner of the armor was too fast, and the auxiliary device couldn't keep up. He grabbed the armor's boots desperately, and Tony slowed down.
Tony irritatedly: "Fuck! I'm going to scrap this thing, I'll take it off myself!"
The putting on and taking off assist device was created to improve Iron Man's style: "..."
He stormed into S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, grabbed Steve, who was training with the Howling Commandos, based on the location reported on Friday.
Steve: "... Stark?!"
Then he came to an empty room and clicked a few buttons on the light screen.
Anti-eavesdropping electronic shielding walls, whirring up all around.
Steve's face was not very good, and he said, "What's wrong?"
Tony went straight to the point: "When did you recover your memory?"
Steve frowned suddenly.
Steve: "2015."
Tony murmured, "God, no wonder."
They had a fight in Fulian Building in 2013.
Tony had just recovered his pre-reboot memories at that time.For a whole month, the man walked around the base anxiously like a trapped animal, pulling his neckline loose from time to time, as if just breathing air would make him anxious.
Natasha couldn't bear it, and asked him what he thought of them. The brown-eyed man said:
"Opinion? No—Natasha, no. I'm the last person to have an opinion of you guys, I'm mad at myself. Look at the bullshit I was saying the year I debuted—'There's Iron Man That's enough, Iron Man can protect everyone'? I can't even fucking protect a kid who saved me!! What's more, I didn't even remember him before - and I'm [-]% Definitely, the only way this world can get a chance to do it all over again is because of that child—"
At that time, Steve just walked in through the gate of the Avengers base.
Like everyone present, he couldn't understand Tony's illogical nonsense.
So he asked, "What the hell are you talking about? Who is that kid?"
Tony, who was tugging at the collar and circling anxiously, suddenly froze.
After freezing for five seconds.
He said, "Fuck."
Before turning to face Steve, Tony touched the reactor on his chest with his fingertips.
The blood-edge nano armor started from the reactor, and instantly "crackled" covered his whole body.
The next second, the tall golden-red armor soared into the air, rushed over and grabbed Steve by the neckline, and slammed him into the wall!
The man's voice was already slightly hoarse.
"Steve Rogers, don't you remember anything?! The kid who rescued you back to the base and waved us goodbye at the gate of the base - don't you remember?! Turn back time and pretend nothing happened , as if he never existed, and death is in vain, is that what you mean?!"
"...Damn it, we are the ones who shouldn't forget him...!!"
Steve subconsciously raised his hand to block.
But he was stunned.
Because at the moment before the steel mask was completely closed, he saw the red eye circles of the other party.
This dispute finally ended with Saul intervening in the fight.
The tall golden-red armor spouted fire from the soles of its feet, floating in the air and looking at them, looking extremely lonely.
Tony finally said, "It's kind of stuffy in here. I'm going to go out and relax."
As soon as he was distracted, he scattered from Manhattan to San Francisco in the west.
He would still come back when Manhattan needed armed support.
But most of the time, Tony stayed in San Francisco to establish the Stark Industries division, as well as local charity and energy upgrade work.
This city has a crime that he should pay for.
Tony was so angry that his hands were shaking, he paced back and forth in the room, "You found out that the child was Sasha, but you didn't tell me a word?! How could you—you—you knew that I—"
Steve said quietly: "You know. Stark, I don't want to tell you, but there are some things I haven't fully understood. I wanted to wait until Batman returned to Earth to test how many people there are on the Zhenglian side." People have memories, and then find out with Batman why Sasha came back.
"And you—no offense, I mean you who have not been corrupted by the axis of good and evil—obviously lost control easily when it comes to Sasha. I'm not sure when you know that Sasha is back with us , whether there will be unexpected behaviors that no one can predict."
Tony glared at him angrily, "That's it?! No sudden action is an excuse for you to hide Sasha—"
...As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered with a guilty conscience that in the San Francisco workshop, the handwritten drafts were piled up on the workbench...
He wanted the world to know about Sasha.Knowing what Sasha did when everyone was in the dark, not after that kid gave everything and fought against the fate imposed on this world, the uninformed come to a new timeline and think that all they have is This should be the case, and then enjoy their new life with peace of mind.
Just thinking about it made his chest feel tight.
The draft was almost sent out - if it wasn't because he suddenly remembered that there was still a debt that had not been settled with the captain.
Tony said hoarsely: "Captain, Superman has also recovered his memory. The visual time is earlier than us."
When he said this word, he felt that the aura of the calm and kind blond soldier on the opposite side had cooled down.
But although the soldier's eyes were cold, he still held his shield well, and did not express any opinions about Superman.
Tony: "In 2015, I went to the Fortress of Solitude and found that Superman seemed to have been looking for Sasha. And I suspect that his sudden actions a year ago, including taking the three Infinity Stones off Earth, were all because he finally found found a really effective way—”
Steve lowered his voice: "I know that the Mind Gem can control people's hearts. And the Cosmic Rubik's Cube was taken back from the Red Skull's base. It can obviously achieve unconditional spatial displacement. But any one has nothing to do with resurrection of life ——What's more, Sasha's situation is not just as simple as resurrection. He completely changed his face and identity, and became the child of a Manhattan couple. When I contacted him, I found that he was not surprised by this at all , as if... as if he had already decided this was where he belonged. As much as I'm genuinely happy for him, I'm still confused as to how this could be brought about."
Tony: "I hacked into the intelligence library of the watchtower. This is the information that the old bat got: There is an ancient legend in Titan and Asgard, if you can collect all 6 infinite gems, in addition to creating one that you can't lift Apart from stones, they can grant any wish of the bearer."
For a while, neither of them spoke, they just stared at each other silently.
There was a faint knock on the door.
It was Coulson's voice: "Who's in there? Stark, is it you? I see the shielding wall. Glad you're back in Manhattan, but can I come in and get some papers..."
…Seconds later, he was captured by two of the most famous heroes of the Avengers, forced to sit on a small bench, and racked his brains to spit out everything about the youngest son of the Atwell family.
How Sasha was rescued from the centipede organization laboratory when he was young, how he was adopted by Johnson in the hospital when he vomited, and then vomited to the 2012 New York War, and the 2020 Shimmer incident...
