The Stark Schiller meets is indeed on the verge of insanity,his mental state is a mess.With Telepathic powers,Schiller could be shocked by his chaotic thoughts through the wall.
Schiller takes a deep breath and walks in.St lifts his eyes,rolls them and gives Schiller a big eye roll.
He looks a little haggard,but not with a broken spirit.The price of stubborn pride is Schiller can feel that he has been on the brink of collapse,but still is unwilling to show it in front of Pepper.
Receiving hint from Schiller's cough,Pepper looks worriedly at Stark,and then turns away.Schiller sits across from Stark,ask "Mr.Stark,may I ask you a question?"
"What do you ask?Talk me with metaphysics?Or about psychological theories that don't work anymore?"
" Er…neither.I mean,I want to ask my hourly wage."
Stark,clearly overwhelmed by the question,says in surprise,"Pardon?"
"I said I wanted to know the hourly wage of my counseling,because I was drunk when Miss Pepper told with me.I forgot all about it when I woke up."
At this point, Stark is speechless,waves his hand and mutters,"You shouldn't pick an abstract topic that psychologists always use...like,the meaning of life,the object of worry such topics..."
"Yes.That's the second step,after consultation has officially begun.But first I need to make sure you can afford it."
Stark's eyes widens in shock,"What did you say?Do you know who I am?Oh ,my God.Are you some kind of caveman?Don't you know me?Don't you know here is Stark Tower?"
"Yes, I know you're rich, Mr. Stark, but how much money you have and how much you're willing to pay are two different things."
".... How much do you want?"
"A million dollars - an hour, no bargaining."
"Here you are! Here you are! You philistine lunatic doctor, have you lost your mind? A Million Dollars! I can hire a dozen models on a yacht..."
"I seem to remember that someone said he's rich."
Stark is literally left speechless by Schiller, who sighs, "Did Pepper send you to mess with me? Well! Go tell her! She did it! I already explained that the last party I threw was just to say goodbye to my ex-girlfriends, not to do anything else, so why doesn't she believe me?"
"A dozen beautiful models on a yacht isn't going to make you any better, Sir, especially when you feel like you're dying," Schiller says.
Stark's exaggerated gestures stops. He stiffens and looks back at Schiller, his eyes suspicious.
Schiller sits there calmly and adds , "You are afraid of death, but perhaps what scares you most is not death, but not having the chance to redeem your mistakes ..."
"Shit. Who are you? Who the hell are you? Stark's emotions begins to heat up and he roars, "Did Pepper say something to you... No, she doesn't know, you..."
Stark stares at Schiller straightly in the eye and lowers his voice, "Don't play tricks with me. I do not believe there's such a thing as mind-reading."
"There is no mind-reading, only psychology." "Schiller answers.
He stands up and informs Stark, "You can dance around the issue, anyway my hourly wage is a million dollars per hour.So if we put off a little bit, I can buy a new car."
Stark's head aches by his jump thinking , "How can you tell? With that ridiculous psychology?"
"That's not important, what's important is that the only advice I can give you is that it's better to solve the problem of death first. Of course,you may think it's easy to say.'
"But the way is..."
Schiller seals his mouth while Stark starts at him.Schiller states , "Pay a fifty percent deposit, and we'll start the rest of the treatment."
Stark boiling with anger laughs in anger.He picks up the phone and calls Pepper , "My sweetheart, where did you get such a vampire doctor? ... Yes, I pay him a million dollars an hour..."
Schiller grabs the phone directly and emphasizes, "Miss Pepper, Mr. Stark's unit of measurement for a million dollars is a yacht of beautiful women..."
Then he hangs up and smirk with wagging phone, "It'll be there in five minutes."
Stark still glares at him.
Stark folds his arms and voices , "Go ahead, I'll see what you can say."
"What have you been escaping from?"
"What? What am I escaping away from?"
"You'd better ask yourself, the answer lies inner, and I'm not talking about Miss Pepper's fatal phone call or an ex-girlfriend's flirty text, I'm serious..."
Schiller leans on the table, crosses his arms, pushes his glasses and whispers, "I've never seen such a uncommon case. It's very unique, very rare..."
Stark shivers and utters, "Hey, I'm not gay, stay away from me."
"You are not as absurd as you appear. I know a man quite like you who disguises himself as a playboy, like a fool who fools around and never thinks about tomorrow."
But he's smart, too smart for his own good, so he keeps waiting for someone to give him an answer, and that answer comes from... His past."
Stark and Schiller lock eyes, and Stark grits his teeth, "I'll give you two million , get out of here, I'll tell Pepper that your treatment worked, and I..."
'Miss Pepper is listening at this moment, if I am not mistaken.' Schiller points out.
Facing with silent Stark, Schiller argues, "Two million dollars, and I'll tell you something that actually works."
"Deal."
"The part of your past that you most reluctant to recall has all the answers you want. I've seen it on the news. The founder of the Stark Industries, your father..."
"That's enough." Stark shouts.
He turns,so Schiller can not see his expression. Stark's voice trembles as he speaks, "Pepper will transfer the fee. Get out of here."
"... He will be willing to give you a second life, God bless you."
"GET OUT OF HERE!!"
After Schiller leaves, Stark shatters the glasses on the table.And in the S.H.I.E.L.D. 's office, Nick Fury taps into his earpiece and orders, "Look into a psychiatrist named Schiller right now. I want everything on him right away."
Schiller's account quickly got a lot of money, he thinks happily, although Stark is difficult to deal with now, but you get what you pay for, he is still obliged to help this billionaire out of trouble.
And soon, another surprise occurs. Schiller finds himself able to replicate Spider-Man's powers.
It turns out that previous failure is not system malfunction, but Peter has not been bitten, and now his spider ability has emerged, and Schiller can naturally replicate it.
Schiller clicks, and gets the "spider sense (low-level)".Compared to the impact of the moment of Telepathic powers, this is ordinary.Schiller feels his five senses slightly improved, that is, can see further, hear more clearly, as for intuition, Schiller has not yet felt.
He's a bit regretful, if can have spider-man's physical fitness is ideal, but anyway, it is a weakened version.It is estimated that the athletic ability is slightly improved, far from superheros .
Spider-man does not have so much power at the beginning, his spider ability is gradually developed. It should be just beyond ordinary people, and not too exaggerated until now.
Since the Spider-Man story began, Peter's uncle may also have an accident, Schiller thinks twice and sends a message to Peter, he writes:,"How are you? Do you want to come to the hospital? I'm a doctor. I can refer you to a good surgeon."
Peter's reply comes quickly, "Wow! You're a doctor. That's cool. Which hospital do you work at? What kind of doctor? Is that an orthopedic surgeon? But I don't think I need a surgeon anymore, and I'm happy now, and I think Gwen's about to agree with me... .... "
Schiller continues, "I urge you to get checked out because being bitten by an animal is no joke. Also,we can meet ..."
Peter obviously hesitates,.After all, it is not a good idea to meet netizen at this time, he just gets spider ability, excited and ambitious, does not want to do anything else.Schiller adds "You can come with Miss Gwen, I am at the Presbyterian Hospital. I can let you do a full medical exam for free, after you can go to the nearby cafe ..."
Peter is a little moved.First, his family situation is not good, there is no chance of any examination, and no New Yorker has ever heard of the name of Presbyterian Hospital, he types, "Thank you, but I want to take my aunt and uncle with me, they are old, of course, this may be too much. If not, please forget I said it."
Schiller thought it might be even better, "Don't worry," he comforts, "I'll book in this weekend, and you can try to invite Miss Gwen and her family. I have plenty of places."
Peter goes to call Gwen extremely delighted. You know, he has been helped by Gwen, because his family conditions, Gwen always brings him snacks and yogurt. Peter always feel that there is nothing to help Gwen, so he always has been guilty.
But this is a chance to make up for it, because Presbyterian isn't that easy to get into, and even though Gwen's father is the NYPD commissioner, there's a long line to get an appointment for a full examination, or no appointment at all.
Peter feels that he is really going very lucky recently.First has a super power, second his online friend is a doctor in a big hospital which seems to be an attending doctor.Therefore his uncle and aunt will not think that he is wasting time chatting online.
