Chapter Two Hundred and Seven: I Owe You
Stark Tech Island.
Below the main building is the most secure place on the entire island, where Tony has set up a series of passwords that not even Pepper Peppard can enter, at least not for now. But maybe in the future, when Tony forgets the password to get in, he will have to ask Pepp for it.
This is a lab designed by Tony on the island, and he plans to move the lab and the Steel Warframe Smart Factory from his home in Los Angeles. However, construction has not started here yet, and everything is still in Los Angeles. So the whole laboratory is empty, and the footsteps of people walking have a great echo here.
This kind of echo is very annoying to listen to for a long time, especially the echo is reverberating and reverberating, this sound makes the scalp feel numb. And this annoying footsteps are constantly echoing now, and the people sitting inside are not in the mood to complain now.
The sound of footsteps and the sound of chewing food was even more annoying. Nakaz ~ Kaz's sound is non-stop. Tony Stark finally couldn't help it: "Can you tm without eating, Thor!"
Thor, who was originally sitting quietly and eating, was a little angry by Tony's words, especially when Tony's words were mixed with foul language, Thor stood up instantly, and the huge physique of more than one meter nine instantly made Tony, who was only about one meter seven, take two steps back with an overwhelming advantage.
Tony felt as if a black bear had suddenly stood up in front of him.
Tony pointed to the food on the plate and said, "Tony Stark, you're the one who got into trouble! You'd better be polite. ”
Tony also noticed that the tone of his voice just now seemed to be a bit excessive, and he raised his hand in surrender: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! ”
Dr. Bruce Banner, who had been pacing around the empty room to make noise, finally stopped, looked at Tony and Thor and said, "Don't talk about anything else, find a suitable solution!"
Both Jack and Captain Rogers sat in the corner and pondered, how easy is a suitable solution?
Why did they all get together, and they looked serious, even angry? It all started with Dr. Banner coming to the island to find Tony Stark.
……………………
"Where's Tony? I want to see him!" Dr. Banner appeared as Ledger and Rogers were chatting at Tony's bachelorette ball, with a serious face. His expression was out of place with the atmosphere of the scene, as if he hadn't come to the wedding at all.
Or rather, his terrible expression was fit for a solemn funeral. This made the two people who had planned to greet him cordially swallow back what they were about to say.
"I'm going to find Tony. Captain Rogers nodded at Banner. Li Jie took a glass of dark beer from the server robot next to him and handed it to Dr. Banner.
"Thank you. Dr. Banner was still rudimentary. He drank an entire glass (about one liter) of stout, a wild way of drinking that was incompatible with the mild-mannered elegance he had always had.
Li Jie asked cautiously, "Dr. Banner, what happened?" Banner barely moved the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't make himself laugh in the end.
He gave up trying to make himself smile because Banner found it really hard to do it now. He could only say in a serious tone: "It's complicated, I'll talk about it later." ”
After that, Banner stopped talking. For Dr. Banner, who was completely silent, Li Jie couldn't get any news out of his mouth.
Captain Rogers finds Tony who is gambling from the table (to correct the mistake, it was Tony who was gambling in the previous chapter, not Thor, I mistyped the name), and brought Thor with him, who was eating and drinking.
Thor was brought in just in case, and Dr. Banner had a terrible expression. Captain Rogers didn't dare to take the risk, Banner was strong, and Captain Rogers knew how strong Brenders was. The heroic gesture of that punch that day still stayed in his mind.
Now the whole scene can single-handedly punch Banner, and only Thor is sure that the five or five will be open. So this Thor must be taken away, so Thor, who was eating, was dragged away by Captain Rogers while still holding his large plate.
…………………………
In the laboratory of Techno Island.
"So Banner, what the hell is going on?" Tony looked at Banner with a serious face, which was a bit scary. As for what Banner is looking for himself, Tony really doesn't know.
Dr. Banner leaned against the wall, clasped his hands to his chest, and asked in a serious tone, "Remember that accident? The accident that caused my Hulk to mutate?" You were also the one who was involved in the project at the time. ”
Tony nodded, "yes, what's wrong?"
Dr. Banner frowned, "You really don't remember anything?"
Tony thought for a long time and couldn't think of what Banner meant, he could only shake his head: "I don't understand what you're saying, Banner, can you say anything clearly?"
The two of them had a conversation like a wit, and the three audience members who listened to it looked confused, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
Dr. Banner gave Tony a deep look: "At that time, I was the leader of the military's gamma bomb experiment, and when the experiment entered the third phase, our project encountered a difficult bottleneck, and the delay in breaking through made the military top brass very annoyed. So they invited the military's most important weapons contractor at the time, Tony Stark, to come and help. ”
Tony nodded, "There's such a thing. ”
"We weren't getting along well, were we, Tony?" asked Dr. Banner, looking into Tony's eyes.
Tony smiled awkwardly, "Heh, so to speak." In fact, if I look at it today, I hate that person from 10 years ago. Severe alcoholism, alcohol dependence almost to the advanced stage. ”
"Every day I was so drunk that I even drank a few glasses of pure malt whisky before the experiment. The smell of alcohol permeated the entire lab. It was one of my worst years, and if it hadn't been for Pepp's help me get rid of alcohol dependence, I'd have died years ago. Tony talked about his black history, a history that is hard to look back on but has to face.
Dr. Banner looked at Tony's lips and moved, "Yes, Tony Stark at that time didn't deserve the title of scientist at all." You're a rotten drunkard. He is a completely disrespectable person who makes weapons and resells them at will. It can even be said to be a personal scumbag. Both in private life and in public conduct. ”
"Hey!" Tony wasn't very happy when Banner said this, "Just let it go with the wind! I've changed it now, okay? Iron Man has done a lot of good things, okay." I have donated a lot of schools that are completely public welfare, and I have built a lot of low-profit public welfare hospitals. Am I atoning for the mistakes I've made in the past and correcting them? Just like the super high-speed rail you built in Eastern Europe, I've done a lot of work, okay?"
Tony's defense of himself is still relatively strong, no matter how scumbag Tony Stark was ten years ago, but that is in the past. The past should indeed be gone, and the good things Tony has done over the years must have been more important than the wrong things he did back then. Iron Man is already the most important force driving the world.
Dr. Banner nodded when he heard Tony's words, "Yes, Tony. You've done a great job in the past two years. Otherwise, instead of sitting here quietly talking, we will need to face my fists. ”
"Hey!" Tony imperceptibly took a step back. And Li Jie and the others all moved their bodies slightly. Angry Banner is no kidding,
"Tony, you were addicted to alcohol at the time, and I don't know if you were on drugs. But you drank splinters every day and often forgot what happened the day before, so I think you may have forgotten one thing, you changed the parameters of the gamma bomb I set at that time, which led to the accident of the third phase of the gamma bomb. And it was this accident that caused me to become the Hulk. ”
Dr. Banner's tone was extremely calm, as if he was not talking about himself, but about what had happened to a friend in the distance. But the news revealed by this calm tone made everyone fidget.
Jack's eyes widened as they looked at Tony in disbelief. Thor stopped eating when he heard the news, his eyes racing back and forth between Tony and Dr. Banner.
Tony, on the other hand, was shocked, "Wait, wait, Doctor, you can't just put the black cauldron on my head!
"And I don't remember what I did! Did you make a mistake?" Tony couldn't figure it out, he was defending himself. But in his heart, he had a vague feeling that it seemed to be true.
Dr. Banner looked at Tony, who was a little flustered, and said lightly, "Because you were addicted to alcohol at the time, and alcohol numbed your brain." You've done a lot of things, but you've forgotten them. In fact, all these years I've been recalling the details of when I made the gamma bomb. I want to find out what the hell I'm doing wrong. ”
"Actually, two years ago I thought about something, some details that I had forgotten. You modified my bomb, but with good intentions. Because according to my design, the bomb that detonated at that time could have killed half of New Mexico in an instant. Banner said these words calmly: "So it's nothing for me to mutate and suffer alone, at least better than to die half of the people of New Mexico." I owe you a debt of gratitude for that. ”
This shocked everyone present again, what the hell is this? Is Banner here for revenge or gratitude? Especially Tony is even more confused when he listens, what? Did he inadvertently save half of New Mexico? Why don't you remember? Do you want to hold a press conference and ask the president to award him a medal of valor in recognition of his great contributions.
"I actually went through a lot of things when I was in Nepal. It made me understand a lot, and it also made me understand the meaning of Hulk. I don't hold a grudge against you at that point, Tony. ”
Dr. Banner finally breathed a sigh of relief when he said this, especially Tony, who finally reassured and patted Banner on the shoulder, "You just scared the hell out of me, man." ”
"But. Before Dr. Banner could finish his words, it made everyone's hearts lift again: "Just because I can let go doesn't mean that anyone else can let go, especially the woman who was hurt the most in this matter." Betty, she knows all this, I don't know where she got this news from. I didn't tell her about it. ”
She has been struggling to support herself all these years, and there is a thorn in her heart, a thorn that will hurt for life if she doesn't pull it out. Her father, General Ross, is also mutated now, and do you know how hard it is for Betty to face life with a smile? she can't face you, and she doesn't want to see you, Tony Stark. So she didn't come to your wedding today. ”
Dr. Banner said this in a low voice, and what he said was the truth. And it's understandable to everyone, what else can you expect when a woman is already strong to this point?
But if the hatred is not removed, it will grow like a weed, which is something that must be faced, and it is useless to run away.
Dr. Banner looked at Tony and said, "Think of a way to get Betty to remove this thorn." ”
Tony forced a smile, "I will, it's what I owe you, Banner." ”
