Tony Stark was hunted by a mysterious man...
Hunted? Who are the enemies of Stark Industries?
Instructions from the Minister of Defense?
In short, there are all kinds of outrageous things on the internet.
On the way home, Arthur also handed control of the car directly to the Red Queen to take care of it, while she read the news on the internet interestingly.
It must be said that these people know heat.
"So, who's the guy who tried to assassinate Tony?"
After watching the news, Jean asked some curious questions. In her opinion, the Ministry of Defense shouldn't be able to do such a thing.
After all, where is Tony's identity?
They're not stupid enough to try to wipe out Stark Industries.
Jean could only think of the last possibility.
Revenge!
"Strictly speaking, Tony should be considered a victim of the situation."
"Victim of the situation?"
Both Gwen and Jean looked at Arthur suspiciously, and Arthur continued, "Red Queen, gather all the information about Ivan Vanko." Soon, the information about the attacker appeared in front of the two women. After reading it, they finally understood. It was Howard and SHIELD who caused everything, but it turned out that Tony was implicated for it. "However, I used to think that Tony Stark was the one who invented the new type of power source, the Ark Reactor." "It never occurred to me that his father, Howard Stark, was the first." "No wonder many people think that Howard is the smartest person in the world." Arthur also agreed with this statement. Not to mention anything else, Howard is not the only person who studied the Tesseract, there was also Hydra and SHIELD. What Hydra researched was nothing more than extracting the energy from the Tesseract and applying it to weapons. Captain Marvel has developed a lightspeed engine that can help the Skrulls escape.
SHIELD was even worse.
Since Howard's death, SHIELD's technology has gone completely haywire.
No one could even understand the notes left by Howard.
"Speaking of which, Nick Fury should have figured it out by now..."
Arthur thought.
------
Inside SHIELD
The video of Tony's attack was also sent to them immediately. After watching the entire video, Fury felt that something was a little strange.
"Agent Hill, put it back in."
"Okay."
The video played again, and when it reached a critical position, Nick Fury immediately shouted to stop.
The image immediately froze at the scene where Tony put on the Mark 5.
That's it!
At Nick Fury's request, Hill zoomed in on Nick Fury's chest.
"Take the statistics of Tony's fight with the Iron Monk."
The next moment, a contrasting image appeared on the screen.
"Agent Hill, have you found the problem yet?"
Hill, who is also an agent, is definitely online: "The style of the reactor in Tony Stark's chest has changed."
"It used to be circular, now it's triangular."
A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Nick Fury's heart.
"Call Agent Romanoff immediately and tell her it's time and I need to see Tony."
"Understood."
-------
On the other side.
Tony, who had just been in danger, was inevitably scolded by Pepper.
He could only obediently stay in his room, and Pepper took Happy and Natasha to deal with the PR issue.
Just when Tony was bored, wondering why he lost to Arthur in the race.
The office door opened.
"Hello, Mrs. Rushman."
"Did Pepper forget any papers?"
Tony joked, but soon realized something was wrong. Natasha began to undress in front of him.
If it were before, Tony might actually be attracted.
But now...
"Hey, Mrs. Rushman, listen to me.
"The one who likes you is Happy, not me."
"I think I should call Happy, I'm sure he'll like it."
"Tony Stark, I'm SHIELD agent Natasha Romanoff."
"What?"
Tony looked at Natasha Romanoff with some disappointment and noticed that, under the OL suit, there was a leather outfit.
Looking again at the documents she took out.
He was stunned for a moment.
"Wait, so you mean you're a spy."
"Strictly speaking, I'm an agent sent by SHIELD Director Nick Fury to monitor you. You have obvious signs of palladium poisoning."
"And SHIELD has a cure for you." This time, Tony was interested in the matter. Ever since he met Nick Fury, he had always felt that this old man had bad intentions. Now it was revealed.
"Now, the director wants to speak with you alone."
Black Widow picked up a small box and placed it on the ground.
"Projection communication device, it seems that SHIELD still has something."
Tony saw the function of this thing at a glance, and the next moment, the device emitted a blue light. The image of Nick Fury wearing a leather coat was projected, looking at Tony with a serious face.
"Tony Stark."
As soon as the words sounded, Tony looked at Black Widow behind him with a thoughtful expression: "Don't you think this color isn't right?"
"Shouldn't you adjust it to Black first, so that it's more in line with his tone?"
Even a top agent like Black Widow, with a strong psychological quality, couldn't help but laugh at that moment.
Nick Fury glared with displeasure, and then Black Widow sat up straight again.
"Tony, I didn't come to argue with you."
"Okay, billiard ball head."
"If you have something to say, just say it."
ā¦
Billboard ball head?
Nick Fury fought back the anger in his heart. He knew that Tony was very good at calling people by nicknames.
But where is he good at giving nicknames?
This is clearly good at stabbing with words!
Black Widow in front of Tony, and Maria Hill standing behind Nick Fury.
Their thoughts at the moment are pretty much the same.
That's what Tony said.
"Just tell me what you want right now, I'm busy right now."
Tony insisted impatiently.
Nick Fury didn't bother arguing with Tony and said slowly, "The one who attacked you today is Ivan Vanko, Anton Vanko's son."
"I was living in the Middle East, manufacturing devices and selling them to terrorists.
Hearing this, Tony frowned unconsciously.
After what happened last time, there are two types of people he hates the most now: one is terrorists.
And the other type is the one who sells weapons to terrorists.
"Wait, how do you know him?"
Tony immediately figured out the crux of the problem.
Could this guy have been sent by SHIELD?
Nick Fury knew that Tony was thinking wrong again.
"Do you think you are the first person in the world to develop the Ark reactor?"
If this hadn't happened, Tony would have proudly answered yes. In his opinion, no one could recreate the Ark reactor.
But now it's different.
Before there was the new element left by Howard, now there is an alternative Ark reactor.
Tony gradually understood the saying that there is a sky beyond the sky.
But that doesn't mean he is humble.
Tony replied: "Even if I'm not, I'm the first person to actually apply it."
This sentence left Nick Fury speechless for a moment.
Because this sentence is impeccable.
"His father, Anton Vanko, was a former colleague of your father, Howard Stark."
"Do you still know my father?"
"Yes, your father was one of the founders of SHIELD."
This news shocked Tony immediately, he never thought Howard had this side.
Founder of the largest spy agency in the United States?
Seeing that Tony was intimidated, Nick Fury continued with satisfaction: "At first, your father wanted to start a new energy revolution, but he discovered that palladium can cause poisoning."
"The Ark reactor wasn't perfect back then, so he..."
Nick Fury didn't finish the sentence, but Tony didn't want to hear anything else.
"So he left behind a new element that was completely impossible to create with the technology of the time."
"That's right..."
The bad premonition in Nick Fury's heart was getting stronger and stronger, but he still asked without giving up: "How do you know?"
"Because I discovered the new element he left behind and created it."
As he spoke, Tony pointed to his chest, through which he could see the triangular light through his shirt.
"Do you have anything else to say? Chief Billiard Ball Head."
"Listen to me, Tony, I don't know how you found out what Howard left behind, but SHIELD still has the research notes he left."
"What do you want?"
Tony listened.
Nick Fury had known these things for a long time, but he hadn't told him all along and had just been waiting for the moment when he would feel most helpless before acting.
"That's definitely what my father left behind."
Tony's tone became a little impatient, he hated the feeling of being used.
In fact, the new element would be discovered without Arthur's help, through his father's research notes that Nick Fury brought.
But this time it's different.
From Tony's point of view, it's more likely that Nick Fury will use what Howard left him as a bargaining chip to negotiate his trust.
Nick Fury also understood that this time he was playing alone.
"It will be delivered to your house soon, but I'd still like you to think about the Avengers initiative I told you about."
"I won't think about it."
"Besides, you're fired!"
Tony pointed at Black Widow who was sitting on the couch, and she shrugged indifferently.
Anyway, from the moment she walked in, her task was to watch Tony.
Now that the task is over, even if Tony doesn't say it, she'll leave.
But Tony still said softly, "Before you leave, make that clear to Pepper and say goodbye to Happy."
"I'll go, Tony Stark."
"Both of you are very good."
Black Widow picked up the projected communication on the floor and left Tony's office.
-----
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury, who cut off the projection, punched his own table hard.
"Shit!"
Billiard ball head.
Now Nick Fury is boiling with fire in his heart, and the reason is not only because of the nickname Tony gave him..
"Who the hell told Tony Stark about this?"
Nick Fury didn't think that it was Tony who discovered Howard's secret.
Because the relationship between Howard and Tony was not good.
So after Howard's death, Tony hardly touched any of Howard's relics, so how did he find out what Howard left behind?
"Agent Hill!"
"Sir!"
Hill immediately approached, and Nick Fury said with his intuition: "Go and find out where Tony has been and who he has been in contact with recently."
"Give me a clear investigation of everything!"
"Understood!"
Arthur naturally doesn't know about the conversation between Nick Fury and Tony.
Now he returned to his mansion, swimming in the pool with Gwen and Jean.
After playing for a while, Arthur came out of the pool to cook, and Gwen and Jean were the only ones left in the pool.
Gwen saw that there were only two people left.
She looked at Jean.
She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how, Jean immediately figured out Gwen's abnormality.
But out of respect for Gwen, she won't directly explore what Gwen is thinking.
She just asked curiously, "Gwen, what's wrong with you?"
Jean swam to Gwen's side and put her hands on her shoulders in a comforting tone.
She thought that Gwen was still afraid of what happened today.
Unexpectedly, after Gwen plucked up her courage, she looked at Jean seriously, "Jean, you're also with Arthur..."
Some things don't need to be finished, and you can quickly understand what they mean.
Speaking of this, Jean felt a little embarrassed.
After all, she regards Gwen as her younger sister, and her younger sister asked her such things, even though she lives in an open country, she still feels a little shy.
"Yes, it is..."
Jean didn't intend to lie to Gwen, because she knew that Gwen was the one who had sex with Arthur in the first place.
Doesn't that count as stealing Gwen's man?
At first, she thought that Gwen would blame her, but unexpectedly Gwen breathed a sigh of relief.
This made Jean a little confused.
(Gwen, what does this mean?)
"I thought you wouldn't admit it." 5.3
Sure enough, the American people are very open-minded about this kind of thing.
For Gwen, them living happily together was enough.
Immediately after, Gwen asked with some concern: "Jean, don't you feel tired..."
Jean smiled and shook her head.
Who can stand Arthur's windows?
Gwen continued, "Look, Arthur is always bullying us, and we can't beat him one-on-one."
"So we have to..."
"Go two-on-one!"
If Arthur were here right now, his jaw would drop.
He had this idea in his heart, but he never got the chance to bring it up.
It was Gwen who had the idea first!
He could even understand if it was Jean who had come up with the idea.
But Gwen was something he could never have imagined.
Maybe this is what is called...
Contrast?
Jean's face turned red, "Gwen, isn't it good for us to be like this?"
"It's okay, Jean, otherwise, every time Arthur will break me."
"For this kind of thing, the two of us need to be consistent against him!"
Gwen had a serious expression on her face. People who didn't know would think it was a fight, but they couldn't find any help.
In fact, it's not much different in essence.
Jean wanted to think about it again, but every time she thought about it, she would raise the white flag to surrender first.
They say that men can't win against women.
A strange desire to win suddenly arose in her heart.
Looking at Gwen seriously: "Okay, tonight we will..."
Before she finished speaking, Arthur came over with a few plates of fried rice and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Are you ready to eat?"
The two women looked at each other, smiled, and suddenly rushed out of the water together.
Throwing Arthur into the pool, Gwen even sat on Arthur's body: "Arthur, you will surrender to us tonight..."
