[Iron Man] Did the president save the world today?

"Long time no see, Amy." Caroline said.

"Hello, Karen."

"It's still the same." Caroline said helplessly.

Amy smiled: "It's just a joke, Caroline."

During the lunch break, Amy was invited out for dinner by Caroline. The phone call was very abrupt. Amy never expected that the person she was investigating in private a few days ago would come to her door.

It was agreed to have lunch, but was fooled by Caroline to the dessert shop.

"It came on a whim." Caroline looked at the strawberry cake with a happy expression, "I'm not too embarrassed to come by myself, it would be much better if I took you."

"Oh, I'm just using it for dinner?" Amy unceremoniously dug a spoonful of butter into her mouth, "You treat me to this meal."

Caroline had no objection, and after a few pleasantries, it finally came to her: "How is your illness?"

"It's much better, it's not as exaggerated as before." Amy replied calmly, looking at her with a smile, waiting for her to explain.

Caroline looked defeated, put down the spoon and said, "Okay, Amy, I was entrusted by your father to investigate, and I have no intention of using this to harm anyone, let those detectives Stop following me."

Amy didn't feel the slightest embarrassment of being caught, anyway, she had a valid reason.

"Actually, I asked you to come out because I wanted to ask you for something else." Caroline said seriously, "About Tony Stark."

Amy was taken aback. Could it be that she wanted to tell her...

"The power of Stark's chest reactor is the palladium element, you know?" Seeing Amy nodded, Caroline frowned and said, "But we found that this element can also hurt him at the same time, do you understand?"

Of course she understands that Stark has been hiding in the basement these days and refuses to come out, and she also knows what he is doing, which makes her worry day and night.

"Speaking of which, I haven't officially introduced myself yet." Caroline said with a smile, "I believe you have found out something. I am an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Shhh, don't tell anyone." She winked playfully. blink.

"Why tell me?" Amy asked curiously.

"Your father Edwin himself knows about S.H.I.E.L.D., and you are not an unrelated person." Caroline continued, "The most important thing is that you have nothing against Stark. Now let you help It is the best choice for us to give up, and we have communicated internally about this.”

"You and I both understand that Stark's father is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., neither of us will harm him." It can be seen that Caroline is trying to convince Amy, "Now his situation is very dangerous , we have the ability to help him, and you are the person he trusts."

"Collaborate, for Tony Stark."

Amy, who knew the truth, never thought of rejecting her from the beginning, but if she agreed too rashly, it would make people suspicious, not to mention that the people in the S.H.I.E.L.D.So Amy decided to pick a question and throw it at her.

"You say Tony is being hurt by Palladium, is there any proof?"

"Well... It stands to reason that he already has elemental lines on his body due to palladium poisoning." Caroline called up a picture from the phone album, "Look, it's almost like this."

Amy took a look and saw some sharp black lines.

Seeing that Amy seemed to be shaken, Caroline gave her a box: "This is lithium dioxide, which can suspend his toxicity. You can go back and confirm whether he is poisoned before deciding whether to cooperate with us. To Please cooperate with us as much as possible.”

Amy nodded, took the box of lithium dioxide, and her cell phone rang in due time.

Seeing that her attitude was relaxed, Caroline continued to eat the cake with confidence, and also complained by the way: "The secretary to the president of Stark Industries is busy with work."

"The president is living a happy life." Amy said with a smile, "If he wasn't Stark, I would have quit the job a long time ago. Who wants to take the secretary's salary and worry about the president's heart."

"It means he has complete trust in you, little Amy." Caroline had already eaten half of the cake.

However, when she opened the text message on her mobile phone, Amy frowned, and Caroline asked curiously, "Why, did you encounter something difficult?"

"The most troublesome thing in the whole company is the trouble caused by the president." Amy got up, put on her coat, and took the box to leave. "I will go back to confirm what you said, wait for my news, and go first."

Caroline smiled and waved to her, Amy turned her head away, her steps were hurried, and she almost sprained her feet. This kind of inelegant behavior has never appeared in a person surnamed Jarvis.

"What happened in such a hurry..." Caroline looked at her back and muttered to herself.

Stark was attacked at the racetrack in Monaco. Of course nothing will happen to him. The key to the attack was the technology used by the people who attacked him. Stark only guaranteed in the hearing two days ago that "there will be no such thing in the next 20 years The second "Ark Reactor.

When Amy returned to the company, a group of reporters had already surrounded her downstairs, and she was surrounded by them as soon as she appeared.

"Miss Jarvis, what do you think about Mr. Stark being attacked with Ark reactor technology?"

"A technology that Stark says won't be around for 20 years showed up an hour ago, what do you think?"

"Miss Jarvis, can we continue to trust Iron Man?"

……

"Be quiet, everyone." Amy's smile was as calm and calm as ever, "Since everyone is so anxious, why not follow me, and I will answer your questions one by one. I hope you gentlemen and ladies in the media can report truthfully and guide you correctly. , will not cause unnecessary panic among the people.”

Amy's calm and courteous demeanor amazed a group of reporters, and her confident smile baffled them even more.

Amy arranged for someone to bring a group of reporters into the company's reception room, and said that she would be there in 5 minutes. In such a situation, Stark himself would definitely not come forward, and the group of people on the board of directors "can fight" None, and she had no choice but to do it herself.

Amy returned to the office and took out the statement she had prepared based on this matter, read it carefully and confirmed that it was correct, and then went to the reception room to deal with a large number of reporters.

The phone rang on the way to the reception room, and Amy looked at it, it was Pepper's.

"Hey, Pepper." Amy tried to keep her tone light.

"Amy," Pepper asked eagerly, "how are you doing?"

Amy said easily: "No problem, I can take care of it, and you and your husband can continue to have a happy vacation together."

The good opportunity for the two of them to cultivate their relationship was so hard won, how can it be disrupted by such a trivial matter, if the president doesn't hurry up, Pepper, the child bride-in-law, will be with his boyfriend——

"Oh, no, I didn't go to Monaco with Tony." Pepper seemed very tired, "Tony took a fancy to Rushman from the legal department, so he took her there."

"..." what? !Amy rubbed her forehead, held back her breath and asked her, "Then where are you?"

"Uh... with my boyfriend..."

Amy has nothing to love in life. Why doesn't the unscrupulous president play cards according to common sense? Pepper will definitely be abducted if this continues!

wrong!

"Pepper, who did you just say Mr. went with?" Amy asked.

Pepper on the phone thought for a while: "Natalie Rushman, I remember that name."

"My God..." Amy felt that the plan would never catch up with Stark's changes, and this uncertainty factor was simply too influential, "Pepper, you—wait, what is that voice?"

Pepper on the phone seemed to be panting slightly: "Uh, it's okay, well, Amy, I still have something to do..." She hung up before finishing speaking.

Amy froze in place. If she heard correctly, it was clearly...

Really!She's so busy here that it turns out the two she wants to hook up with are on vacation with an agent and the other is having sex with her boyfriend!

The working people are very angry!

"Keep everyone waiting for a long time." With a broken heart, Amy, the angry working people, came to the reception room with a decent smile, and got up to 12 to deal with the reporters.

In the evening, when Stark came home, he saw Amy sitting on the sofa with a straight face. Ethan poured her a cup of coffee, while he sat on the other side and read the newspaper, and pointed to Stark with his eyes, Emilia Miss Jarvis was unusually angry.

Stark thought that what happened in the afternoon must have made her very busy, and he felt guilty, so he approached her with a smile: "What's the matter, Amy, who made you angry? Don't pull your face, it's not good for the skin. OK."

Amy glanced at him, and sat down next to Ethan. Keeping a distance from the president would help her not act too coquettishly when expressing her opinions.

"Mr. Stark, listen up..."

"Okay, Amy, don't be so formal." Stark looked straight at her, Amy could even see her in his big eyes, and he wanted to apologize a little awkwardly: "Amy, I don't want to Caused so much trouble, it's just that in the hearing before I really thought that no one could make... ah, it's me anyway... well, let's not talk about it, are the reporters in the afternoon too difficult for you? Oh, sure now My scandals are overwhelming, are you tired? Do you want to take a vacation for yourself?"

Amy looked at him strangely, and then turned on the TV. This incident happened to be broadcast on the news. Well, how could it be a coincidence, obviously all news programs were reporting this incident.

Stark looked at the TV, which contained a video of Amy's brief press conference in the afternoon.

"Regarding what happened in Monaco, first of all I would like to express my sincerest condolences to those who were unfortunately attacked by that mad scientist."

There were flashing lights constantly shining on her face, but she was calm and composed, as if she had mastered the momentum of the audience.

"The next thing everyone is most concerned about is the technology used by that mad scientist." Amy paused, and the flash lights became more intense at this time. Obviously, this is indeed the focus of their concern. "I think everyone will think of this person's appearance." It's linked to what Mr Stark said at the hearing, but I think you should look at it separately."

Amy cleared her throat, and the scene was silent: "First of all, there was a Frankenstein intending to carry out a terrorist attack on the Monaco circuit, and Iron Man, as always, solved him and brought him to justice. This is a fact."

"Secondly, Iron Man was also injured in the face of other attacks. You don't need to emphasize this injury too much. This Monaco accident is no different from the usual hero stories that everyone knows. Although the hero was injured, But still driven by love and justice, he bravely defeated the villains." Speaking of this, there were sporadic laughter at the scene, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

"Finally, regarding Mr. Stark's claim that the same technology will not appear in 20 years, my friends, I personally agree with it completely."

Immediately, a reporter asked: "Then you mean to deny that the science madmen in Monaco use the same technology as Iron Man?"

"Of course." Amy said seriously, "If it is really the same technology, then with the same power source, it shouldn't be defeated by Iron Man. After all, after Mr. Stark took off his suit, he just An average person with an average physique, and the muscles of that gentleman, it is clear at a glance which side is stronger, not to mention that many of you are familiar with Mr. Stark, and everyone has a certain understanding of him, right? So the facts have been It proves that the technology used by the mad scientists of Monaco is nothing more than a more accurate fake."

It has to be said that Amy's remarks are ingenious and outrageous, not only naturally denying that the Monaco monster uses the technology of the Ark reactor, but also perfectly smoothing the field for Stark, but also reminding many people to pay attention to that standing The first-line protectors of the earth are just ordinary people with flesh and blood after taking off their battle clothes. He has no obligation to protect the planet.

Even if these words will not completely dispel people's worries in the end, they still have a lot of influence, especially the unexpected and appropriate play of the "ordinary people" emotional card.

Amy handled it well, and Stark was also very complicated. In fact, if it wasn't for Amy's reminder, even he would have forgotten that he was just an ordinary person after taking off his battle suit...

"Don't be distracted, Mr. Stark." Amy raised her voice, "I'm not angry about this, but that you took the employees of the company out on vacation! It's not with Pepper!"

Stark was at a loss: "Why, Pepper is not an employee of our company?"

"Stop pretending, Tony." Amy changed her tone, "This is a good opportunity I won for you, why not take her down!"

"..." Stark suddenly felt that this matter was much bigger than the Monaco incident, and immediately clarified seriously, "You think too much, Miss Jarvis, I didn't mean to pick on Pepper, she and her boyfriend Feelings are good."

Amy looked disbelieving: "Come on, you two have been together for so long, I don't believe there is no spark at all."

A few long-term fragments flashed in Stark's mind, and then he still denied it: "Miss Jarvis, you really misunderstood."

Amy curled her lips and looked at Ethan: "Ethan, don't you think the two of them are having fun?"

"I think you two have a joke." Ethan said seriously.

"Hehe." Amy looked like you were teasing me, then turned her head and continued to persuade Stark relentlessly, "Tony, Pepper has been with you for more than ten years, she knows everything about you, and she knows all about your bad temper." Tolerate everything, she is also your strong backing, so that you have no worries, there is no second person who is more suitable to stand by your side than her, you have to seize the opportunity, understand?"

"She understands everything about me, she tolerates all my bad tempers, and she is my strong backing so I don't have any worries..." Stark silently repeated these words, "Do you think I need to find someone like this?" girlfriend?"

"It's the wife," said Amy gravely.

"You're too straightforward, Amy, girls, be more reserved." Stark gave her a very meaningful look.

"Huh?" Amy was at a loss.

"Okay, thank you for your suggestion, Miss Jarvis, I will consider it." Stark stood up and walked to the basement.

Amy turned to Ethan, "Why did he say I'm not reserved?"

Ethan also gave her a very meaningful look, patted her on the shoulder, and looked like a long way to go.

Amy: "..."

So she reacted belatedly, and suddenly felt extremely powerless. Looking at the situation, they must have misunderstood something!So without saying a word, I went to the basement, ready to explain it carefully.

After entering the basement, I happened to meet Stark who was changing the power core. Amy saw the looming black lines on his chest, and then remembered a more important thing.

Amy walked over and opened his shirt directly. There were indeed those strange lines. Stark's eyes were deep: "Miss Jarvis, after the hinted marriage proposal just now, now I want to force you? Oh, a good combination fist."

"You know it was a misunderstanding just now." Amy said helplessly, "Okay, Mr. Stark, explain what these lines on your chest are."

"Cool tattoo, do you like it?" Stark looked sloppy, "If you don't like it, I'll change it?"

Amy sighed: "You are too brave, Tony."

Stark said nothing.

Amy pushed the lithium dioxide on his table in front of him: "The people from S.H.I.E.L.D. found me today, and I hope that I can give you this lithium dioxide that is a temporary solution instead of the root cause. Continue to negotiate with them, and you can try it yourself.”

Stark looked at the box and said nothing.

Amy's tone was serious: "Ethan must have told you this sentence, but I want to tell you again, cherish your life, in order to survive, showing weakness is also a kind of bravery."

Stark still didn't speak, just put his head on the table with his hands, like a confused child after encountering a problem.

Seeing Stark like this for the first time, Amy just felt soft and messed up in her heart, and she couldn't help raising her hand to touch his head, but Stark blocked it with his hand.

Then Stark looked up at her with indifferent eyes: "Miss Jarvis, thank you for your concern, but I hope you don't meddle in your own business, and don't trust others easily in the future."

He pushed LiO[-] back to her, expressionless.

Amy stared at him for a long time, and couldn't find his panic at all. Although she wanted to believe that Stark's words had other meanings, she had to lose to his indifferent expression.

So she suddenly felt that she didn't understand Stark at all, and she stood here like a clown.

Without taking the lithium dioxide on the table, she turned and left the basement.

The back figure can bear the word lonely.

Stark just watched her leave quietly, without a word of explanation or retention.

The author has something to say: Following the advice of the reader Jin Yi, I finally made up my mind to push the emotional line.But the main tone of the two of them must be slow.

The number of words in this chapter is absolutely full of sincerity, so today's two chapters are combined as one chapter, and one is updated today.

The quarrel between Stark and Amy is temporary, after all, there is a running-in period for everything.
