[Zhongyingmei] The number one black powder

Tony paced restlessly in the hallway outside the medical room.

The Baxter Building has an entire floor of medical rooms, but Reed apparently didn't take care of them.The building here is the same as the corridor of the hospital, with white lights and unpopular white walls.

Tony doesn't like hospitals, and considering he's been dealing with them his whole life, either because of himself or because of people close to him, he certainly has reason to hate hospitals.And now, he was forced to stay in this hospital-like place because his loved one was treated in a room separated by a wall.

Through the glass, Tony can see the situation inside the house.They repaired Veronica's brain trauma, and everyone else went to rest for a while, except for McCoy and Strange, who were doing final checks.

"Are you okay?" Jane sat on a bench by the corridor—there was even a bench of the same type as the one in the hospital corridor—and watched him walk around without stopping him.She had come as a friend on behalf of the Avengers, to see if Tony needed any help.

"I'm fine." Without thinking about it, Tony habitually answered this question well, but he immediately realized that it wasn't really asking him if he was okay, so he honestly said, "I'm worried."

"It's normal." Jane nodded. "If it's Hank lying in it, I'm already suffering from panic attacks."

"..." Tony wanted to say, I am also suffering from panic attacks, but he can't, he can't miss the moment when Veronica wakes up, he must know the answer immediately.

Before they could have any further communication, the door of the medical room was opened and two doctors stepped out.

"She will wake up in about 10 minutes." Stephen said to Tony, "Her brain activity frequency is normal, and I can say that the repair is very successful." In fact, he did not participate in this operation. When it came to the communication request, I came here in a hurry and only had time for the postoperative examination.

"Okay." Tony heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the news. Although Stephen had given up his medical treatment, he was still the most authoritative person among them on brain supplementation. His words always made people feel more at ease.

"I have to say, the nano-restoration technology you made is a medical miracle, have you considered putting it into use?" Stephen couldn't help asking.

"I think you can have a good talk with the two Hanks about this, they must be interested." Tony nodded casually, coping, his eyes had already passed the people in front of him into the room.

"Come on, doctor, let's go find Hank and give Tony some space." Of course, Jane, who has a delicate heart, can understand Tony's mood. She stood up, pushed the two doctors away, and turned around to make a comparison with Tony. The mouth shape of 'Call her for something'.

Tony nodded gratefully and walked into the house.

There are two machines next to the hospital bed. Electrode chips are pasted on the temples and clipped on the hands, which are used to monitor brain waves and heartbeat respectively, and drips are hung on the other side.

Tony sat down on the chair beside the bed, looked at the regular heart rate curve on the instrument, rubbed his eyes, and tried to sort out what happened.

Reed had told him everything he knew, and he had even watched as Reed connected the removed chip to a computer to check it while the repair was underway.

He remembered that moment, as soon as the chip was inserted into the terminal, the huge data inside began to be decompressed, and the data seemed to be alive, trying to take over Reed's computer authority at the same time.Reed had to unplug all the network cables and computer power cables in an emergency, and only used a small generator for power, which barely restricted the AI's activities and bought them time.

If you want to talk about superheroes' feelings about AI, I am afraid that the first thing that comes to mind is either Ultron or Vision, and no matter which one is powerful and difficult to deal with.

Putting a powerful AI in your head sounds like something Veronica would do when she goes crazy.But imagine that she has been living with this AI, keeping this dangerous and powerful power as her secret...

——How insecure do people have to be in this world to choose not to say that they do such a thing?

That's what Tony thought, realizing at the same time that he could do this himself.He can understand Veronica's uneasiness because he can understand such feelings.Sometimes, looking at Veronica is like looking in a mirror.

"It's because we are so similar that we are attracted to each other, right?" Tony sighed, he looked up and looked at Veronica's face, but he didn't see the expected closed eyes and pale face.

Veronica's peculiar heterochromia iris made her eyes show blue edges under this light, and she has been looking at him quietly since no one knows when.

"Hi." Tony met those eyes, his mind blank.

"Hi." Veronica looked very calm and fearless, just looking at a stranger, and blinked when he greeted him "Can you tell me what's going on?" Her tone was also flat Treated like a stranger.

"Reed tried to get the chip out of your brain and screwed it up, so you got some brain damage." Tony tried to retell the incident without emotion, but he failed.It wasn't like the bloody and frantic surgery that was shown on TV, the whole thing unfolded and was resolved very peacefully, and only the people involved knew what the worst possible outcome they could get.

So in the end, he failed miserably and couldn't help but accuse "how could you hide this from me?"

Veronica seemed to tense up instantly, mixed with confusion and bewilderment.She looked away and said calmly, "Yes, that's what I did."

Without flinching, asserting, or defending anything like Tony imagined, she just said it.

So Tony had a bad premonition. He pushed aside all the mixed feelings in his heart, and carefully chose neutral words to ask: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Veronica replied, avoiding his gaze.

And Tony now understands how it feels when he tells someone he's fine, and he spits out "You're not good."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you're obviously lying." Tony pointed out mercilessly, "Can't you just tell me the truth?"

"Well, I'm not good." Veronica just shrugged.

Feeling powerless over the situation, Tony wiped his face and tried again to confirm "Do you remember who I am? Do you remember who you are?"

"Tony Stark." Veronica turned to look at him again, saying his name in such a flat tone that he wanted to cringe, and then he heard Veronica give him the answer "I remember you Who is it. I also remember that I was a member of Hydra, and what I don't understand is why you are accusing me of not telling you a thing." Veronica's every word is like hitting Tony punches in the face, and eventually she said "You said I had some brain damage... the logical explanation from your behavior is that there must be some connection between us..." She gestured between them "even though I Don't know how it came to be like this between us...but I think it's only logical to comfort you?"

Tony was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

On the one hand, he was struck by the memory that Veronica alone lost their relationship, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for Veronica's ability to 'understand' other people's senses like a normal person after losing her memory. It's funny.

The sense of irony and emptiness consumed him at the same time, leaving him feeling lost and overwhelmed.It was like his worst nightmare had finally come true.

For a moment, he thought of the nightmare that often plagued him, the people who were directly or indirectly killed by him walking numbly on the high mountain, thinking of Veronica also appearing in the queue, with a numb and lost face all emotions.

Then his stomach twisted together.

He can't let this happen.

And Veronica was tilting her head, waiting for him to say something—

"We do have a connection," Tony said, with pain in his heart.

"So?" Veronica blinked, politely waiting for his next words.

"We're getting married." As much as it might be exaggerating, it's true, and he has the plan.

"We're going to..." Veronica repeated first, then laughed "No, seriously."

When Tony didn't answer anything, she knew it wasn't a joke.She blinked again, a little faster, in a bewildered "Wait, is that word what I thought it was? Is it some kind of strategy? Some kind of plan Hydra sent me to execute?" "

Tony couldn't help laughing, showing the same sluggish expression as before for Veronica, then calmed down quickly, and replied calmly: "No, it's not a plan or task."

"Oh." When Veronica said this, her expression remained calm, but her eyes had already started to wander, her breathing was short of breath, as if she was about to jump out of bed and run away: "So, is it because of the child? Please tell me the door No child outside will cry to me and call mother."

This is an interesting inference.Thinking of Veronica's declaration that she would have a child and take away his property, Tony couldn't help laughing again. Because of Veronica's still strange brain circuit, he shook his head and denied again, "No, you have nothing to do with it. The plan for this, but it hasn't been executed yet. We're only getting married because you love me."

"..." Veronica narrowed her eyes at this sentence, showing a completely skeptical expression, "Let's not mention the logical loopholes in this, just because I love you, we are going to get married? With all due respect, then you Probably already convicted of bigamy."

"Yeah." Tony felt the smile on his face collapse.Looking at Veronica's doubtful and disbelieving expression, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

He looked at her and thought it was really not a good time, but he had to let her know that no matter what the result was, he couldn't let her walk out of here with doubts about this question.

So he said softly, "I thought the answer was obvious, because I love you too."

The author has something to say: Fuckfuckfuckfuck, I posted a wrong paragraph again, luckily I looked back before going to bed... I really didn't mean it!
