[Avengers][Jani] The Promise of Life

?Jarvis discovered that Tony was different from other children when he was eight years old. Tony, who was in the second grade at the time, ran to him with a sad face and said that he didn't want to go to school. This surprised the housekeeper and asked why. Bitter and bitter, he told him that what the teacher taught was too simple, and school was boring.

Given that he had a father like that, Jarvis figured he shouldn't be surprised.

From Howard's bookcase, he dug out the textbooks that the arms dealer read when he was young, and taught him one by one, from high-order equations to linear algebra, from the Hall effect to quantum mechanics. Tony obviously inherited his father's high IQ. Everything was quickly grasped, so when he asked for help with a complicated calculus problem shortly afterward and the butler found himself helpless, Jarvis had a sudden epiphany.

"Sir, a new model of Captain America has recently been released. I just bought it and put it in the living room. Do you want to take a look!"

"Okay!"

The exuberant thirst for knowledge was defeated by the desire for soldiers, and the child immediately put down the textbook. Jarvis gave 32 praises for his wit in his heart, and then proudly led the child towards the living room.

For another example, I agreed to participate in the spring outing organized by the school, but when I came to pick him up, I saw Tony was dripping wet, and the housekeeper couldn't help being really puzzled.

"Sir, didn't I put an umbrella in your bag this morning?"

"When it rained today when I was climbing the mountain, Jesse said that I would use one without an umbrella, but I don't think it's good to be too close to others..."

"and then?"

"Then I'll give her the umbrella!"

"........."

I believe that if Jarvis at that time saw Tony, who would have seen countless girls 20 years later, he would not be able to connect with this single-minded idiot in front of him.

However, there is always a shadow that has never faded, but has gradually intensified with age, and the housekeeper has increasingly found that the excuses made up in the past are becoming more and more difficult to use.On Christmas Eve, Jarvis was directing the servants to do the last round of cleaning when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Tony all day, and he called twice, but there was no response.

Jarvis, who searched the whole house, finally found the child sitting alone in a corner in the attic.

"Sir! Why are you here?"

The usually cheerful and lively child was sitting in the corner with his knees hugged, and he didn't turn his head when he heard the sound. The man hurried over and squatted down.

"Why don't you go down and play? We just built a big Christmas tree."

But the child did not speak.

"Come down with me! I made a lot of egg tarts with my own hands, come on, come on quickly."

As he spoke, he took his hand, but the child broke free from him, and sat there without speaking.

The man just stood up, thought for a while and went out. When he came back, he brought a box and stuffed it into the child's arms.

"Christmas present, open it!"

The child watched, looking up at him suspiciously.

"...But, shouldn't this be put in a sock?"

"It's okay we can put another one in the sock, open it now."

Tony opened the package and took out a small robot the size of an arm. At that moment, the child's face had a moment of surprise, and he looked up at the man.

"What's his name?"

"Stupid."

As Jarvis said, he took the gift from the child, and didn't see how he operated it. The little robot suddenly stood up and saluted, and said in a fluent electronic voice:

"Hello Tony, I am Dummy!"

"ah!"

The child blurted out, smiling. At that moment, the brilliance in his eyes was like that of an eight-year-old child. He couldn't help picking up the little robot and rubbing it in his hand. There was deep love and novelty in his eyes, Jia Wei Si looked at him, his heart was full of tenderness, but at that moment the child stopped his hand suddenly, and the man was about to ask a question, when he saw drops of water dripping from his hand.

"What happened?"

The butler hurriedly lowered his head and asked, the child's clear and bright eyes were suddenly filled with tears, but he bit his lips tightly and did not speak.

The man sighed, stroked the child's forehead hair, and did not speak.

He knew what the servants had said about Tony when no one had seen his mother, except that he was the illegitimate son of Howard's many lovers.Howard called as early as a week ago to say that he was participating in a very important project and would not be able to return this Christmas.

The child squeezed Benben tightly, exposing his white joints, and suddenly looked away, trying to be calm, but finally couldn't help sobbing.

"Daddy always doesn't come back, don't you want me..."

When he said this, deep sadness and disappointment suddenly appeared in his usually bright eyes.

"...Mommy, Daddy, everyone don't want Tony anymore..."

"how could be."

Although he didn't know how to make him feel at ease, the always gentle man still persuaded him, stroking the child's brown hair, his gaze was like a peaceful lake.

"But you still have me."

You still have me.

The child raised his head hesitantly and looked at the man's gentle and calm smile. Suddenly, and for the first time, there was a timid expression in his eyes. He hesitated, and suddenly stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his neck, calling out vaguely. One sound:

"Daddy..."

When 1980 came, Tony was already 11 years old. He had the same dark brown hair as his father, and the same dark brown eyes, gradually showing his angular face. He was so cute and handsome that he often received Love letters and all kinds of small gifts, seniors have them, even boys, every Valentine’s Day they will receive soft hands, making Jarvis feel like a big enemy, and every time he goes to pick him up, he will look around to see if there is any Suspicious people wait, he didn't want his sir to be abducted home so early, and he did not know how many tricks he did secretly.On the contrary, Tony didn't care about it. He only occasionally wondered why all the boys who played well had suddenly disappeared.

After the beginning of autumn, it was Tony's birthday. Under the strong request of the person involved, Jarvis had to put down the little roses and afternoon tea he was thinking about in the garden, and took him to visit the science and technology museum in the city.

This science and technology museum in the city center is newly built, and there are not many exhibits, but this has already made an 11-year-old child ecstatic. Jarvis took his little master to visit the museum.It just happened that the nearby middle school was also organizing activities. Tony, who has been rambunctious since he was a child and has no stage fright, really provoked those upright adolescent girls to become motherly. After turning around, their pockets were full of candy and biscuits, which made everyone feel uncomfortable. The housekeeper who stopped and followed couldn't help but laugh.

So when someone was finally crazy enough and tired of playing and returned to the butler to buy juice, Jarvis almost refused immediately, but children's grinding skills were never bragging, which made the adhering to the "outside The things are absolutely unhygienic!" The butler of Faith was very embarrassed, in order not to affect others' listening to the lecture, the butler finally had to surrender and told him to look at the things where he was, while he went to buy him juice.

However, when he came back with a cup of milk tea, a cone of ice cream and a bag of biscuits, chips and cakes in his hand, the child had disappeared.

Jarvis began to think that Tony had gone crazy again, but after searching for two full circles and broadcasting announcements on the radio station but still not seeing anyone, the usually calm butler couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

Tony had heard of kidnapping since he was very young, but he was still a little terrified and at a loss when it really happened to him.

But what made him panic even more was that he soon discovered that those people in front of him didn't just want money.

Although Tony is young, he is not ignorant of family matters, but there are still many issues that he has never heard of. However, the deepest secrets about the family can only be dealt with with silence, but this is not a bad idea for those people. So resistance and non-cooperation.

Endless interrogation and mental torture.He couldn't sleep, didn't rest, and would be punished with a slap if he closed his eyes for a while.However, the perseverance and bravery passed down in the blood of the Stark family kept him from crying from beginning to end.

No food, no water, no rest.

Some are just direly bright lights shaking overhead.With endless contempt and spurning, he was forced to recall one by one: his father, and the mother he had never met.

Even after this incident, it took him many years to shake off the shadow.This kind of cruel memory rooted in the young heart.

In the end, he couldn't even hear anything, there was a huge roar in his ears, and the world was silent.Only the strong light flickered in front of his eyes, and he fell into the end of this white light.

When he fell into this deep panic, he suddenly heard someone calling his name loudly, and there was a vaguely familiar face in front of him, and he, who had always been strong, couldn't help but choked up and shed tears.

"Daddy..."

However, accompanied by the boy's trembling call, there were gunshots one after another, and the small room suddenly became chaotic.After two full days and two nights, Jarvis finally outflanked the place before the local police.

…………

"Sir, you have grown up, you have to learn to take care of yourself in the future..."

"........."

In the dark street, Jarvis hugged him and ran wildly. He heard the man's intermittent voice. He didn't know why Jarvis said these things to him in this situation that finally made people breathe a sigh of relief.They gradually heard the sound of the siren, and Jarvis stopped when other police officers rushed up, and put him down. However, the moment the child's feet landed on the ground, he heard the exclamation of the police officer on the opposite side, and he turned his head. , seeing blood spurt out from his chest that had been pierced by bullets, splashing his face, the man with light golden hair fell down slowly in front of him like this.

"Jarvis! Jarvis!"

The next memory was chaotic, he heard the blare of police sirens, he saw the man being carried on a stretcher, the blood soaked the white sheet, and the noise around him was like a dead silence; he saw him being wheeled into the emergency room room, but was never pushed out again.

Many years later, Tony would still be in a trance. When he saw Jarvis in that environment, his first reaction was Daddy

Jarvis gave him everything, his time, his love, his heart, and finally his life.

However, at that dusk, the man with soft voice and gentle eyes just disappeared in his world forever.

"You still have me."

The man once said that, his gaze was like a calm lake.

However, even you don't want me anymore.

He stood in the middle of the huge mansion, looking at the servants who were busy coming and going, but no one came down the stairs to hold his hand and take him home.His heart seemed to have returned to that day again, the gushing blood surged, and the past was drowned in blood.And he was standing in the middle of the pool of blood: blood on his hands and face, desperate to the bone.

Jarvis...his Jarvis.

He blankly stretched out his hand to look around, but there was nothing.There is only a piece of blood red around, blood red.The whole world is as empty as death, scattered like flying ash.

There is no past and no future.

Before the age of 11, Tony was actually a very normal child.Lively, active and mischievous, he is no different from ordinary children except for the inevitable resistance when meeting strangers.He has an active mind, he has energy, he has curiosity, and most importantly, he has Jarvis.

However, since the day Jarvis disappeared in Tony's life, Tony has packaged these things with his own hands, hidden them in the deepest part of his heart, built high walls, locked the city gates, and never allowed anyone to enter or leave.including himself.He threw away the key to his heart, and has since become that extreme, stubborn, and extreme person.

Tony was stuck at 11 forever.

Howard thought Tony would be fine after a while, or at least he hoped so, after all, it is inevitable to be sad when someone who grew up with him left.But there will always be new people, and there will always be new things. With Tony's character of great interest in everything, great enthusiasm and friendliness to everyone, he will soon forget his childhood playmates and brothers. ,begin a new life.

However he was wrong.

Jarvis has become Tony's obsession, existing in his brightest and darkest dreams and the remotest and deepest consciousness.

However, what he had to admit was that everything that happened in the remote town where his childhood and short youth was buried was like a dream. When he woke up, the man just disappeared there. In the dusk of the day, he never came back.
