Chapter 219 Iron Man and the genuine captain in action
Marbury, the villa on the cliff.
Tony Stark returns here holding Maya Hansen.
"Pepper, come here and help."
Maya has actually woken up, but there is a clear gap on her forehead. Although she hasn't opened it yet, she can already see the flesh. Below is a squirming eyeball-like object.
"Wow, you actually took this 'old acquaintance' home." Pepper Potts cast a death stare at Tony, smiling: "Do you need me to make room?"
< br>I have worked tirelessly to manage your company for the past two years. I have finally transformed a weapons manufacturing company into an energy supplier. The market value has increased and it is prosperous.
You don’t say thank you, but you bring home the wild woman outside in front of me.
Want me to help?
Help with what?
Can you give me a push from behind?
With Tony's skills in picking up girls, he naturally heard his girlfriend's little mood, and quickly pointed at Maya's forehead and said: "Something happened to her!"
Pepper's greatest advantage is that he "knows the general situation." "After seeing what was going on, he immediately stopped being petty, walked over quickly, and looked at Maya's forehead.
“Hey, can you give me a mirror so I can look at it myself?” Maya shivered when she regained consciousness, and did not forget to add: “It would be best if I could have another cup of hot cocoa and a blanket. "
What a pity. She had just been carried by a steel armor and flown from Cleveland in the east-central part of the United States to Marbury on the west coast. The whole journey was more than 3,800 kilometers. If it hadn't been for the power of the beholder. Bonus, he was already freezing to the point of losing consciousness.
Pepper glared at Tony and thought to herself: With your temper, who else wants you besides me?
She went to get hot drinks and blankets, and Tony stepped out of the steel suit.
"Jarvis, scan her."
A blue light shot down from the ceiling, sweeping Maya from head to toe, casting a human-shaped light and shadow in front of Tony.
"Sir, Ms. Hansen has strong energy fluctuations on her forehead."
Without Jarvis' reminder, Tony and Maya had already seen the eye-catching red mark on the forehead of the humanoid light and shadow, just like a high temperature warning.
Maya quickly walked to the floor mirror, carefully looked at the eyes on her forehead that seemed to open at any time, and even reached out to poke them.
"Hiss..." The real pain hit, and Maya took a breath.
“It’s over, this eyeball has been connected to my nerves.”
As a biologist, Maya has a clearer understanding of the changes in her body, but this goes against scientific common sense The phenomenon is impacting her world view again.
"There was a hole in the skull, and the brain was squeezed out of the gap... It's completely unreasonable!"
Tony, who was standing in front of the human-shaped light and shadow, was already considering the possibility of surgical removal.
"Simulate the resection surgery and calculate the success rate."
Jarvis immediately threw another light curtain in front of Tony and quickly replied: "Sir, Miss Hansen's third eyeball It has been connected to multiple brain nerves, and the success rate of forced removal is less than 3%."
"In addition, the eyeball contains strange energy, and if it is removed, it is likely to cause an explosion."
< br>
Maya was silent for a moment, no longer entangled in her own problems, but immediately reminded Tony: "Killian specially invited many celebrities to prepare for this conference, and they may have obtained superpowers like me."
"Why is he doing this? What does he want to do after gaining the support of these celebrities? Tony, I think you have to figure this out."
"Killian's hatred for you has never been greater in these ten years. Faded.”
Faced with the reminder, Tony’s first thought was to upgrade his armor.
"Jarvis, replace the super-powerful energy source in the armor." Just now, Killian fired a heat ray and knocked out one-third of the energy in the armor. If he does not upgrade, he will encounter the opponent again in the future. He had to lie down in less than two seconds.
After accepting the reality of an extra eyeball on her forehead, Maya began to wonder if she could also gain Killian's power, and even considered whether to inject the imperfect Extremis virus to replicate Killian's success. .
Curiosity is human nature, and scientists are hopelessly curious.
Pepper came back, handed the hot drink and blanket to Maya, and saw Tony busy on the virtual console again.
"Leave him alone, that's just the way he is, he will forget other things as soon as he has an idea." Pepper was somewhat showing off, as if he was declaring sovereignty.
Maya didn't think much, she just glanced at Tony's smooth forehead and made a surprised voice: "Strange, why weren't you affected?"
Tony, who was in working mode, did not hear this sentence, but instead It was Pepper who reacted faster: "Were you in the same place just now? Did the eyeball on your forehead just appear?"
Recalling when Maya came to visit a few days ago, there was indeed no such extra eyeball. , Pepper immediately rushed to Tony, grabbed his head with both hands, and stared at it carefully.
"Fortunately, you didn't have an extra eyeball."
Hearing what his girlfriend said, Tony reacted: "That's right! Why wasn't I affected? ”
Although he has always been a badass and considers himself to be the greatest genius in the universe, Tony does not feel that there is any physical difference between himself and ordinary people.
“Jarvis, bring up the live scene just now and check their foreheads carefully.”
“Sir, after Killian performed the mysterious ceremony, there were stains on the foreheads of the guests present. There was a trace, deep and shallow, but you didn't appear."
"So..." Tony's first thought was not to be thankful, but to be happy: "I won't be afraid of what he summoned in the future. Mysterious power?"
"Tony, are you going to take risks again?" Pepper shouted in anger.
"I..."
"Sir, emergency news has occurred."
Jarvis quickly released the picture. It was the "Mandarin" released by Killian after hijacking the radio and television network. video.
“Oh my God!” Pepper couldn’t believe it. This so-called “Mandarin” could actually hijack radio and television signals across the United States.
As the current head of Stark Industries, she does not lack information channels like ordinary people, and she knows how difficult this matter is.
"Look, I have to go, America needs me." Tony turned and devoted himself to the armor upgrade design.
After being slapped in the face again, Iron Man must upgrade first. He has a strong premonition that there will be a big battle waiting for him.
Just as all parties were intensifying their efforts, the real Steve Rogers, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in a desert town in western Arizona.
This is a mining town, relying on mineral resources to form a market town.
Steve was accompanied by Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze and several American folk father-in-laws with swords on their waists.
Sadako's video tapes are wandering around the United States all the time. Azhen can be called a "007 model worker". She carries out the orders of the big devil meticulously without any complaints, and contributes to the great cause of "cutting off" in the United States.
Texas naturally also has private father-in-laws. After these people heard about the shady stories of the federal government and Texas authorities, as well as Steve’s feats, they were attracted by his charisma (no chicken talk) and joined The "Lone Star Republic" in hell.
After "defeating" Mephisto, Steve inherited the position of Lord of Hell. Not only did his strength greatly increase, but he also gained the ability to break the contract with evil spirits.
But Johnny did not choose to terminate the contract. For the future of the "Lone Star Republic" and for the realization of true freedom in the United States, he needed strength.
