Outside the mansion.
Tony flew into the sky, and the Red Queen was unhappy again.
Because of Tony's propeller, the lawn was burned.
Arthur shook his head helplessly, but it was okay to think that Tony would come visit them often in the future.
That piece of land will be reserved for future use when he comes.
He won't even bother to fix it.
Arthur comforted her, "Red Queen, it's okay."
"He is my friend, even though he is careless, occasionally irritating, and a little mean."
"But he's not a bad person."
Tony, who flew home, suddenly sneezed.
Jean looked at the Red Queen in disbelief, "Red Queen, you taught Tony Stark a lesson."
When I was at Xavier School before, Professor X gave Jean information about most of the high-ranking people.
One of them is Tony.
Tony's life is very exciting, but it can be summed up in two words: genius!
And a proud, complacent, and irritating genius!
But an unsurpassed genius in his field was taught by Arthur's AI.
Jean is surprised every day by Arthur.
There is so much to see.
Gwen didn't think there was anything strange, after all, Arthur is very powerful, and so is the Red Queen.
Their costumes are all made by Arthur and the Red Queen.
That Tony Stark armor is really bulky.
Arthur took the two girls back to the room first. Tonight, he wanted to test that candle.
The Red Queen said at this time: [Master, Nick Fury is looking for Kingpin.]
"Leave them alone."
[Understood.]
--------
At night most of the streets are almost bustling.
Going out at night is dangerous, and anything can happen.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, almost no one will choose to go out at night.
Of course, there are also some people who are not at all afraid of this danger.
As Kingpin.
At that moment, he was going home in his special car.
Almost no model on the market can accommodate it.
So he had to find an assembler on his own and order one.
Suddenly, the driver in front slammed on the brakes. Although Kingpin was sitting firmly, he couldn't help but frown.
Before he could ask what happened.
A figure opened the car door and surprised the driver in front of him.
Kingpin gripped his crutch tightly, ready to fight at any moment.
A voice came, making him give up the idea of resistance: "Wilson Fisk, it's been a long time since we last saw each other."
Nick Fury!
That voice, he would recognize it anywhere.
The next moment, his car door was locked, and that annoying egghead was standing outside the door.
"I'm sure you know what I'm looking for."
Kingpin smiled slightly, "Director Nick Fury, I have always been a law-abiding person, especially for SHIELD. I have not broken any laws."
"Did you come drinking with me today?"
Saying this, Kingpin took the initiative to open the car's minibar, took out a bottle of wine and poured a glass for Nick Fury.
Nick Fury also drank politely.
"Where did you get that batch of Vibranium?"
"Vibranium? What Vibranium?"
Kingpin's attitude made Nick Fury feel a little insecure all of a sudden.
Although he thought so, Nick Fury didn't show it.
He gestured to Hill and took the tablet from his hand.
Then he started looking through the records about the Vibranium transaction and some evidence about it.
Nick Fury was stunned when he saw it.
All evidence is gone.
His intuition told him that someone had hacked into SHIELD's database and erased all the data contained within.
Nick Fury was speechless for a moment.
Kingpin looked at Nick Fury pretending to be angry: "Director Nick Fury, SHIELD and I have always had problems."
"If you want to harm me, you at least need to find a good reason, right?"
Ten minutes later, Kingpin's car continued to drive away.
Only Nick Fury and Hill remained at the scene, and Hill was still checking the data on the tablet.
In the end, she could only shake her head helplessly at Nick Fury.
"Looks like someone is helping Kingpin."
Nick Fury came to this conclusion.
"So should we continue looking for Vibranium?"
"Don't check yet. If whoever is helping Kingpin can erase all the chains of evidence so easily, it proves that there's not much we can do about it."
"The top priority now is to fix the vulnerability in our system."
Nick Fury made the most correct judgment immediately.
Fixing the SHIELD system vulnerability is a priority now.
If any of SHIELD's secret data were to become public, it would cause confusion across the country.
Hill also understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately returned to SHIELD.
Upon returning to SHIELD, Nick Fury stormed into the technology department, cursing at everyone.
He sent them to look for loopholes in the system and find traces of intrusion.
-----
Tony was really unhappy at first when the Red Queen started criticizing his armor, but later the Red Queen gave him many solutions.
The reason a genius is a genius is not just the ability to accept other people's ideas with an open mind.
You may also find new inspiration in these ideas.
Yes, Tony is having a lot of fun right now.
Tonight, he will design a new armor.
"JARVIS, have you registered the Red Queen's suggestion?"
[Yes sir, they have all been imported into the Mark Armor database.]
[Can be used as reference for creating the next Mark armor at any time.]
Soon, Tony returned to his lab.
After telling Pepper to go sleep alone, Tony leaned back in the front of his seat.
"JARVIS, show me all of the Red Queen's suggestions right now.
[Right, sir.]
Tony looked at all the information and said lightly, "Delete everything."
[Sir, the information in the Mark Armor is precious. If you erase everything, you won't be able to recover it. Are you sure about that?]
Is the information about Mark Armor valuable?
Yes, they are really valuable.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this information were to somehow be released, it could cause a war.
But for Tony, these are just his inspirational data.
As long as he's there, these things can be reproduced at any time.
"You can delete everything JARVIS."
[Deletion complete.]
Then Tony started operating on the keyboard again: "JARVIS, we need to create a new folder."
[Say, sir.]
"Mark X."
"Import all of the Red Queen's suggestions right now and then I'll reselect the materials...."
It was already late at night, but Tony was still in a good mood.
With the previous experience, now it is a large-scale improvement and material replacement in the original technology.
In the early hours of the morning, a new set of armor was designed by Tony.
"Still using the original color scheme, JARVIS"
"Automatic wear requires a corresponding experiment. This function will be placed on the Mark X2, which will be called the Mark X1!"
[Right, sir.]
After finishing this, Tony stretched his waist, his work was done and all that was left now was just drowsiness.
And it's already early morning.
In other words, Tony spent the entire night improving his armor.
It should now be called the Mark X.
"JARVIS, when will the Mark X1 be produced?"
[In the afternoon, sir.]
Tony nodded in satisfaction.
The system he created is impeccable.
Forget it, it's better to let the red queen take a look if she has time in the future.
Tony returned to his room a little unsure, and there was only a note left by Pepper in the room.
She said she would go to work first and let Tony get a good night's sleep.
Tony lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Little did he know that a bigger problem awaited him that night.
-------------
Xavier Institute.
Jean arrived early this morning at Xavier School to attend classes, after a period of self-comfort.
Professor X also accepted that Jean's friend is male.
He didn't even mention it in front of Jean.
Jean, who had just finished class, was about to head back to the office to continue her next class when she saw Logan coming back from outside.
"Logan, where have you been?"
Logan spoke briefly about his visit to the Mutant Brotherhood during this period.
There is actually nothing to do but help both parties get in touch.
"I came back this time with the intention of bringing Colossus with me."
"Make them meet."
Jean's expression became a little strange.
With the Colossus character, she expected them not to fight directly.
After saying goodbye to Jean, Logan went to Professor X's office and told him about his plan.
But Professor X thought otherwise.
"Logan, take two more people."
"I have a feeling something big is going to happen, and we mutants could benefit from it."
"Go gather the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants already."
Logan never had much doubt about Professor X's intuition.
"Charles, call the X-Me and I'll do their work for you."
"Bom."
Soon Professor X called all the X-Men and habitually called Jean along.
Jean said he could hear outside.
Professor X nodded.
Perhaps Jean can give some reasonable suggestions?
A meeting that could change the future of Mutant was held in Professor X's office.
------
Random street corner in New York.
Gwen shot a strand of web from her wrist. The spider web trapped the thief in front of her.
After taking the other's bag, Gwen said as usual, "It's wrong to be a thief, you know?"
"Let's see if there's anything in the bag you stole that can prove the owner's identity."
"Hmm~ let me see…"
Staying just a moment on the side of the street, he attracted many curious people to take photos and applaud.
Gwen has been used to this kind of scene for a long time.
"Oh~ I found it."
In the folder, Gwen found a business card: "Maxwell Dillon?"
"That's not a bad name."
Immediately after that corner, a very anxious man ran past.
Seeing Spider-Woman holding her bag in her hand and the thief on the ground, he immediately understood what was happening.
"Hey, Spider-Woman."
"Thank you for helping me get my bag back."
"If I didn't have what's in this bag, I would be fired from my company today."
The man looked happy.
He almost lost his job.
According to the Red Queen's human ID, the man in front of her is Maxwell Dillon.
"You're welcome, it's my duty to help the citizens of New York."
"Here take it, and don't get robbed again."
After the bag was returned to its original owner, Gwen spun a web and quickly left: "It's going to rain soon, you guys should find a place to hide from the rain."
As soon as Gwen left, the surrounding crowd quickly dispersed, and only Max was still reminiscing about his encounter with her.
Yes, he is one of her many fans.
"I can't imagine that someone as unknown as me could be helped by Spider-Woman.
Just as he was secretly delighted, the phone inside the briefcase rang.
Max quickly picked up the phone and answered the call.
The other end of the line immediately started talking: "Max, what are you doing?"
"Customers have come to complain. Why don't you hurry up and fix the temporary circuit?"
"If there is another complaint, you will be out of here today!"
"Sir, I just got robbed, luckily Spider-Woman recovered my bag."
Before the explanation was finished, there was another scolding: "Are you crazy, Max, how could Spider-Woman help a useless person like you?"
"If you're going to make an excuse, at least make it realistic."
"Now go fix those circuits..."
"I understand, sir, I'm going right now..."
Time was running out, so Max could only stop a taxi on the side of the road and rush to the maintenance site.
Soon he arrived at a factory.
Looking at some old wires, he immediately analyzed the reason.
"Don't worry, I just need to connect this wire and you'll have electricity here."
"Hurry up, it's almost going to rain."
"Okay, I'm going!"
Max found a ladder, climbed the pole and began his work.
He is a senior electrician.
This kind of thing is very simple for him, that is if the people below don't make him nervous because of the blackout.
The process would be much simpler.
Just as the line was about to be connected, a raindrop suddenly fell to the ground.
Nobody noticed.
Soon after, there was a flash of light in the sky, followed by a loud bang, blinding the eyes of everyone present.
When their vision recovered.
Max, who was connecting wires, fell to the ground, his entire body burned.
Everyone fled in panic. Someone called the police, and someone called the power company, saying that their employee had been struck by lightning, and they quickly sent other people to fix it.
In short, no one went up to check whether Max was alive or dead at that moment.
Definitely no one noticed that his fingertips were glowing with electrical sparks.
[A/N: For those who don't know, this is how he got his powers in the comics.]
Half an hour later.
People from the fire department came to take care of the case in the rain.
But Max's body had disappeared from the scene.
"Do you understand that you can be punished for making a false report?"
But everyone around said that an accident happened here just now.
One of the senior firefighters said, "Maybe he's fine and went to the hospital by himself after he woke up."
"Since there's no one, let's call it a day."
At the moment.
In a muddy alley, Max was dazed, not knowing what to do.
He only remembered fixing some wires.
But suddenly everything went dark...
"Where am I, where am I now?"
"I have to fix those wires, or I'll be fired..."
Suddenly, Max staggered and fell to the ground, only to see his reflection in the water.
His face was blue, and electric arcs seemed to roam across his face.
A horrified scream rang out at that moment...
