The Stark Paradox

"So, how did you know each other?" After Baron Cobray's new wife left her, Tasha shrugged and looked at the other's elegant back and asked.

"...It was an unexpected surprise."

"Do you mind if I ask about Madam's previous work? I always feel like I have seen this woman somewhere before?" Of course, Tasha has never met this woman before, but it seems too inappropriate to ask the other person's details directly, but familiarity is a good idea. The excuse of "It seems that Madam is not an ordinary character..."

"Dangerous and fatal temptation, which is not found in other women... Oh, no offense, Ms. Stark, of course you are very attractive."

"Of course." Tasha waved her hand to show that she didn't care, and then curled her lips, "Your words will be refuted for me by the top 10 male models for a whole year." She said this, but she thought in her heart, the other party In the end, she still didn't tell her the origin of the woman-maybe Daniel didn't know at all.

She sighed at that thought, and then refocused on the topic Daniel had shifted away from.

"I'm interested in building a particle accelerator in my lab."

[Hi, Tasha~] At this time, Daniel's voice rang out simultaneously with Jazz's teasing voice through the desperate internal communication.

[Hey, sir, I can tell from your voice that you must be bored. 】

"What? Oh, of course, if you need help, I will go... Well, you know, as long as my assistant doesn't press me all the way." Tasha smiled and answered the opposite question after teasing Sir At the same time, he looked around the audience trying to find Letty.

——She is a good multi-tasker, and this is not difficult.

Then she saw the baroness coming.

【Hey, Tasha, don't say that, I've followed up the progress of the boss all the way.And... What is egg pain?What organ of a human being? 】Since Jazz listened to Tasha confide something that day, Tasha returned to normal the next day, as if those conversations never existed.

[Oh... About this... I can think of thirty dirty jokes about this... But I'm not sure you understand. ] Tasha rolled her eyes unconsciously and thought.It's really sad to make jokes with people who don't understand.

"Then I'll go talk to someone else first, and then get in touch." Tasha nodded to the baroness couple and turned to leave.

She didn't intend to take care of any household affairs, but the other party was a scientist who could hardly keep up with Stark's English, and just for this, Tasha was willing to take a little care for him.

While talking with Jazz, Tasha turned her head and finally saw Letty who was being entangled by someone, and walked over directly, embracing the beauty's waist very naturally, "Honey, you were here, you are my tonight Did you forget? Oh, Carl, this is very ungentlemanly, if you want, why don't you wait for her to contact you again?" Then, without letting the other party say anything, she forcibly took Letty away.

After realizing Tasha's seriousness, Letty didn't refuse anymore, but followed her obediently and left.

Tasha didn't stop at the banquet, but exchanged pleasantries with acquaintances and left the venue directly with Letty.When she walked out of the hall, Tasha pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "If you tell me who your target is first, I won't let you in."

[Speaking of which, how did Optimus Prime's meeting with K go? 】

[It sounds very smooth. 】

Hearing Jazz's answer, Tasha nodded slightly relieved.

—The world always needs Natasha Stark, no matter the time of day, isn't it?

"Why?" Letty asked strangely.

"I still expect you to give me an answer. Do you know who you offended? And you said yes, does your boss know who you are doing business with?" Tasha raised her eyebrows and asked back, "I guess, Your boss doesn't know how deep the water is for that guy just now? After all, it's not so easy to publicize that he has been dealing with Russian gangsters."

"..." In New York, Russian gangsters mean not to provoke them as much as possible. These fighting nations have a strong sense of territory and aggressive nature. Even in the gangster industry, people still can't avoid it.As for the person Letty just talked to, Tasha inadvertently checked his background when Tasha was still in the early stages of her business, so she had this understanding.

Tasha has always disliked this kind of guy who doesn't do business according to the rules of the market, and has never had business dealings with this kind of person.

She didn't want her friend to mess with this either, so she sighed "Go back and tell your boss about this, or leave the organization you're in now. Letty, Dominique sure doesn't want you to take such a risk, trust me please?" "

"..." Letty looked at Tasha suspiciously and vigilantly, then nodded after hesitating for a while.

"Great, by the way, say hello to Mia for me. Then, in order to make up for it, can you choose a car to drive back?" Tasha heard the other party finally let go. A strand of hair pushed back her ear looking at her friend from many years ago.

"I pick at random?"

"Of course, trust me honey, my garage will surprise you."

"I think the one you drove today is pretty good."

"Oh, just this one won't work..." Tasha and Letty went out together and looked at the silver-white sports car parked at the door shining under the lights, smiling and shaking their heads.

"I thought Stark didn't care about that... Or, is this your handwriting?"

"It's just because I don't have my handwriting here, Letty, are you serious, you have the opportunity to drive a car from my garage, and you don't want my modification technology?" She said, pulling He opened Jazz's car door and made a gesture of invitation to Letty.

But Letty didn't rush into the car, but went around the car, "I remember this model, this model of Pontiac has been recalled across the board."

"Yeah, so this car... is unique."

[Oh, Tasha, I'm ashamed of you for saying that. 】

[Shut up, you, I didn't know you still have shame. 】Tasha jumped into the car, closed the door and mercilessly complained back.

"What?" Letty sat in the co-pilot and looked at Tasha suspiciously, completely unable to understand why she suddenly burst out with such a sentence.

"Oh..." Tasha rolled her eyes and looked at the other person's questioning expression, knowing that she probably said that sentence by accident, so she made an excuse casually, "I'm talking to my smart housekeeper Jarvis Speaking, you know... I have an artificial intelligence butler who speaks so viciously that I once regretted setting him with a British accent."

"Oh...that sounds, very..."

"Cool." Tasha thoughtfully answered while Leti was still looking for the right words to express.

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Letty, it's my pleasure." The polite British accent suddenly sounded from the built-in speakers startled Letty, but she immediately realized that this was the existence Tasha was talking about "madam , if you find this accent unsatisfactory, maybe I can recommend the Simpsons accent or Sheldon-style rants to you."

"Shut up, drive, let's go back first. And Letty is obviously complimenting me."

"Madam, Ms. Julie once asked you to..."

"Carol asked me to attend this boring banquet. I have been here before, and now we can go back." Tasha snorted while arguing with her artificial butler, and at the same time, she heard the inner voice in her head. The snort.

【Sir, you actually let Lao Jia access your communication to mock me.I hate you. 】

[Tasha dear, I know you love me to death~ Also, you care too much, I believe this is just your illusion. 】

[Probably, I have always suspected that Lao Jia stuffed some British cold humor software into his software upgrades to mock me anytime and anywhere, and I don’t know who his mother is. 】

[Of course it's you, madam, or if you prefer, I call you, mom. 】

【…】

*******

After seeing Letty off, Tasha sat on the chair and unbuttoned the tie and the three top buttons, revealing the faint blue light inside.

Tasha clicked on the floating virtual screen in front of her, and then chewed yesterday's sandwich.

The Jazz lay in his usual position holding his bottle to replenish his energy, and then raised the bar on the inside, the iron sheet, and the partition.The ambulance seems to be lurking in the hospital to spy on the specific process of carbon-based family succession.

Although the ambulance's righteous words are quite scientific, but after thinking between the lines, Jazz suddenly felt... Is the ambulance's degree of wretchedness really a level higher than he imagined...

"Crack."

A slight noise suddenly came from outside the originally quiet space. Jazz opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw a pen slowly rolling to his feet, and then stopped because his left foot blocked it.

Sir stretched out his hand carefully to control his strength, then picked up the red ballpoint pen, looked up and saw that Tasha who was sitting there had fallen asleep on the table at some point, her right hand was naturally drooping by the table, Falling asleep in an uncomfortable looking position.

Jazz has seen Tasha in this state a few times, as she approaches the end of a project after a few days of sleepless nights.It seemed like no one on the Special Forces side was pushing her to bed like Jarvis was.

So it doesn't seem unreasonable in a way that Jarvis is programmed with this personality.

Jazz thought about this as he walked over and pushed Tasha's shoulder with a finger - Jarvis had been muted because of Tasha's arrogance before, so Jazz had to take on the responsibility of telling his landlord to go to bed Sleeping Quest - "Tasha, wake up, go upstairs to sleep, your neck will hate you tomorrow if you look like this."

"..." After trying to shake it a few times, Tasha finally poked his fingers impatiently, straightened up, rubbed her eyes and complained vaguely, "Captain, did someone tell you that you are really a mother chicken? "

"..."

"..." When she didn't hear the expected answer, Tasha paused for a moment, and then she seemed to wake up a little bit. The next second she realized what she said, she woke up instantly, raised her head and glanced at Sir, Before the other party had time to say anything, he jumped off the chair and turned around, intending to walk into the elevator and go back to the upper floor.

The sleep just now made her feel the hangover headache in advance, and when she was wondering if she should ask Jarvis to prepare some hangover medicine, her smart housekeeper broke through the limit and spoke first.

"Madam, urgent message."

"What?" Tasha stopped when she heard Jarvis's communication, looked up at the nearest camera, and frowned.

Emergency communication is the highest authority she gave to Jarvis. It will only be turned on when she specifies important information or when her personal safety is involved. It gives Jarvis the priority to override any instructions.

Therefore, there are not many things that can allow Jarvis to use such authority... Since she herself is still standing here with the first priority, this means...

"what happened?"

"There was just an explosion at Sector [-]'s headquarters at the Khufu Dam."

"what?"

"what!"

The words of the smart housekeeper caused an uproar in the laboratory. Jazz and Tasha yelled at the same time. Dummy, who was playing with rolling the bottle in the corner, shrank even more in the corner because of the mixed high-pitched sound.

"Tasha, what's going on?!" Jazz had heard the name Seventh District a little bit, and Tasha helped hide them from the Seventh District's search once before.Later he learned a little bit about the department, most importantly Megatron was frozen into a popsicle in their hands.

"I want Jarvis to pay close attention to this department, let's not talk about this...Jarvis, what's the situation now?"

"..." For a while, Jarvis didn't respond, which made Jazz and Tasha very uneasy until an audio came out from the loudspeaker on the ceiling. Domineering Qi——

[I am, Megatron. 】
