When Leon, dressed in a black suit, stepped into the office, Stark sitting on the sofa, his eyes lit up, he immediately stood up, smiled and joked:
"Hehehe… isn't this our little handsome guy yesterday?"
The little pepper standing on the side gave Stark a white look, then stretched out his hand and shook Leon: "Mr. Leon, it's nice to see you again."
Leon nodded slightly and smiled: "Miss Potts, Mr. Stark, how are you."
"Please sit down."
After the three of them sat down on the sofa, Stark couldn't wait to ask aloud:
"I heard Pepper said, you know the Romanov agent, so…you are also from S.H.I.E.L.D?"
"Tony!"
Stark hadn't waited for Leon to sit on his hips to heat up, so he immediately asked about the behavior of others, making the little pepper sitting on the side feel a little rude.
Leon smiled and waved his hands, and said, "It's okay, Miss Potts. I think being open is good for each of us."
"Look, he himself thinks so too." Stark spread his hands and said to Chili.
"Yes, that's right. I am also an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. My name is Leon Coulson, you can call me Leon."
"Phil Coulson? Why does this last name sound familiar…"
In a low voice, Stark immediately asked: "By the way, you S.H.I.E.L.D. It seems that you also have an agent called Phil Coulson. Do you know him?"
It seemed that this question had already been anticipated. Leon couldn't help but raised his mouth slightly and nodded slightly: "Yes, I know him. He is my uncle, Phil Coulson."
"what?!"
This sudden information made the faces of Stark and Little Pepper filled with surprise.
"Phil didn't tell me that he also has a nephew who works in S.H.I.E.L.D…"-This is the focus of Little Pepper.
But Stark's focus is somewhat off-track: "It turns out that his name is Phil. I thought his name was "agent"…"
Leon pretended not to hear Stark's teasing, and continued: "Anyway, I heard a lot about you, Mr. Stark, from Uncle Phil."
"Oh? What did he say?" Stark asked Leon looking at Leon with interest.
"He said you are a super genius…"
Before Leon could finish speaking, Stark interrupted him with a smug look: "Hey, everyone said that!"
However, Leon's next words made him speechless:
"…If not so narcissistic."
Sitting aside, Little Pepper, who heard the whole sentence, couldn't help but laughed out "Psst".
"Ahem…" Stark, who was pretending to fail, cleared his throat and forcibly changed the subject: "Anyway, I want to say thank you for what happened at the Expo yesterday."
As he spoke, the cynicism on his face narrowed slightly, and in a slightly sincere but not very proficient tone, he said, "Thank you for everything you have done for the Stark Expo and for Pepper."
The little pepper on the side also nodded in agreement: "Yes, if you weren't there yesterday, I might have…"
Leon shook his head, still smiling: "You're welcome, what happened yesterday, I just happened to be standing in the right place at the right time."
Having said that, Leon explained the reason why he appeared at the fair yesterday.
When it was learned that Leon was not another spy sent by S.H.I.E.L.D to monitor him, Stark's favorability suddenly soared from "coldness" upon entering the door to "harmony."
Leon, who noticed this scene, thought in his heart: It seems that Natasha Romanoff's surveillance has somewhat reduced his perception of S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, this is also normal.
S.H.I.E.L.D regards everyone as a potential threat target and uses all means to prevent the occurrence of danger.
Sometimes, in order to control the situation as soon as possible, it is inevitable to act a little overbearing.
This style naturally makes Stark, who advocates freedom and individualism, not too cold.
However, it is not yet his turn for a Level 6 small agent to care about these things.
He was invited over today to meet Stark and Pepper, just to get familiar with each other.
After all, after hearing Phil Coulson talk about "Iron Man" and "Tony Stark" all the time, Leon couldn't help but want to see this in person, the prodigal playboy who turned back…
In Stark's office, after sitting for half an hour, chatting with Stark and Pepper, Leon left.
Watching Leon's departure, Stark couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart:
"Leon Coulson…"
. . . . . .
A few days later.
Los Angeles, in a Warehouse on a riverside.
In the empty Warehouse, only a table and two chairs are placed, nothing else.
At the moment, Stark was sitting on one of the chairs, looking at the virtual projection screens floating in the boxes around him, a bit bored.
"That guy Fury, why hasn't he come yet?"
Thinking so inwardly, Stark turned his attention to the two documents on the desktop.
He just picked up a document with "Avengers Project Preliminary Report" on the cover. When he wanted to read it, he was held down by a big black hand.
Black complexion, one-eyed, black trench coat, Fury's dress, still "fashionable"…
"I don't want you to read that report. I'm not sure it has anything to do with you."
Sitting across from Stark, Fury picked up another document and handed it to Stark:
"As for this report, it is Romanov's agent, an assessment of you!"
Stark took the file and didn't read it right away. Instead, he suddenly asked Fury, "By the way, there is a man named Leon Coulson, who is yours?"
Hearing this tentative question, Fury's face sank without change: "Yes, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, but I think he's kind of interesting…" Stark crossed his arms around his chest, leaned against the back of the chair, and said, "Unlike other S.H.I.E.L.D agents, who always have a black face…"
Speaking of dissatisfaction with S.H.I.E.L.D, Stark seems to have found a cathartic outlet:
"Also, can you change your outfits and dress up in a black suit and sunglasses all day long. People who don't know, thought you were in Cosplay "Men in Black"…"
While talking, Stark, who was about to perform, couldn't help but suddenly hug him with his hands tightly, and looked at Fury with a frightened face: "You won't come out with an amnesia stick, let me forget that I am the memory of Iron Man, right?! "
However, Fury, who was sitting across from him, just watched Stark in the act quietly, and a "sarcasm" smile appeared at the corner of his mouth…
Seeing Fury who didn't respond, Stark felt boring, spread his hands, and said helplessly:
"Cut! No sense of humor at all…"
