CHAPTER XLVII

*

"Bang-"

"Help, God help me!"

"Mommy, Mommy!"

……

"You're a demon yourself."

"The bodies of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who died in your hands are still in the freezer."

……

"Unknown 084 from the Universe."

"It's full of danger."

"Time and moon are for the pleasure of killing and shedding blood."

……

"What is your purpose in approaching Mr. Stark?"

"Mold, the blue stone flower will kill you."

……

"You monster who killed Steve!"

"You and the Red Skull teamed up to kill those innocent soldiers, you damn monster!"

……

"Why are you still alive?"

"But Bakki is dead......"

……

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!

"I'm sorry!!"

Isbelle screamed and woke up, fear and guilt tormenting her, causing her to apologize when she opened her eyes, clutching her head and screaming.

"Bailey, it's me, Steve."

Someone grabbed her shoulders and whispered softly in her ear.

"Bailey, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm Steve."

The other party reached out and took her into his arms, and his big hand caressed her back, and in his warm embrace, she gradually calmed down.

"Steve......"

Isbelli tugged at his clothes, her voice trembling, "How many people died...... Explosion ...... in the convenience area"

“……”

Steve was silent and didn't answer for a long time.

"I want to know, please sue me, please."

Isbelle whimpered, looking up at him, tears glistening in her dark blue eyes.

"That's not your fault, Bailey, don't overthink it." Steve raised his hand and rubbed her cheek, the explosion in the convenience area, the death toll reached eighty-five, mostly the elderly and young children, more than 200 people were seriously injured and lightly injured, such a serious violent incident even S.H.I.E.L.D. was alarmed, Phil Cowson has rushed to Brooklyn and is investigating and dealing with the matter with the local government.

"How long did I sleep."

"You didn't fall asleep, but fainted from blood loss and the metal ring."

At the mention of this, Steve couldn't help but get angry and blame himself, he thought Bruce Banner would take care of her, but the latter didn't know where to go.

"I contacted Curson and asked him to relieve some of the pressure on the metal ring, and it took three days for you to wake up, and I'm glad to see you wake up."

"I see."

Isbelle lowered her head, then broke away from his embrace and sat sideways.

Steve stared at her pale little face, "Bailey, you look sad, I know those things are sad, but I want to ask why the metal ring is releasing super pressure on you?" ”

"I'd like to be alone for a while, Steve, please." She didn't want to talk at the moment.

"OK, you can go wash your face, I'll go downstairs and prepare something for you to eat, I think you must be hungry, I'll talk about something when you're full." Steve gave her room and got up to leave.

"Thank you."

Isbelle whispered a thank you, her eyes fixed on the metal ring in her hand, and she thought something she had to try.

……

When Steve returned upstairs with the mashed potatoes and strawberry sandwich bread, the room was empty, the windows were wide open, and Isbelle was gone.

*

A sea area in the Mediterranean.

Under the moon, the sea is calm, and the waves gently lap against the reef on the shore.

"Jarvis, can you hear me?"

Suddenly, a man's screams shattered the peace.

"Jarvis? Hey man, are you asleep again? ”

The man chattered and got out of the water, his heavy steel armor making it difficult for him to move.

"It's good that I should have stopped and come back when my energy was below five percent, but I just didn't want to make a second trip. You know, Jarvis, what a swear word it feels like to be unable to sleep in the middle of the night and to come out of the comfort of the bed to this hellish place to destroy my own weapon. ”

The man in steel armor climbed onto the beach, lay down on his back with his face up, and raised his hand to remove the mask from his face.

"Please Jarvis, don't ignore me, say something, it's too deserted here."

Tony, chattering, Death Starr, really noisy, Stark, the only person who can find someone to talk to is the ultra-high intelligent artificial program created by himself, Jarvis. Ah, but he seemed to have upset him ten minutes ago, so he expressed his displeasure in silence.

"Well, if you really don't want to talk to me, then contact Bailey, and I'll talk to her."

He hadn't contacted Isbelli for a long time, and lately he had been busy destroying the Stark Industries weapons in the hands of the terrorists, flying around the world without any time to rest. During this period, he contacted the elderly Captain America once or twice, and had a very unpleasant conversation, if it weren't for the fact that the matter here had not been completely resolved, he would have flown to Bailey to take her away.

"Jarvis, I don't understand, why does Bailey listen to the old man so much, he said he went to Brooklyn, why don't you come back to me, isn't my charm as good as that old popsicle?"

It's not that I knew him decades earlier, what's so remarkable, in terms of appearance and influence, he Tony Stark is better than Steve Rogers in everything. After he solved the problem of weapons being secretly sold to terrorists, he flew to Brooklyn to snatch the little princess back.

"Sir, I have prepared backup energy for you, there is no problem to return to Malibu, do you need to perform a flight mission immediately?"

Jarvis, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Well, I'll listen to you, dear."

To be honest, Tony thinks it's better to follow Jarvis and go back first.

"Yessir will carry out the mission immediately."

After Jarvis finished speaking, he flew into the night sky with steel armor and headed for Malibu, California.

Tony was indeed tired, and with Jarvis, he fell asleep in his armor before he knew it, and it was not until the latter gently reminded him that he had returned home that he woke up rubbing his eyes.

"The bath water is ready for you, and considering you didn't have dinner tonight, we have prepared you with easily digestible tomato noodles and nutritious cereal, which I think are healthier than donuts and bread, and you can enjoy them when you come out of the bathroom."

"Wait, did you do it yourself, Jarvis?"

If Jarvis made it, Tony wants to choose not to eat it, and God will know why Jarvis's cooking skills are so bad, and the fruit salad he made last time almost made him dehydrated.

“…… It was prepared by Miss Potts. ”

Jarvis said quietly, regarding the matter of cooking, he thinks that he is just an artificial intelligence program, and has no human sense, so he can't do it well.

"OK, thank you Pepper for me."

Regardless, knowing that the food wasn't made by Jarvis relieved Tony.

A few minutes later, he came out of the bathroom, sat down around the table with a towel and began to eat dinner.

"Jarvis, please give Bailey where she is now, if you can, please turn on the camera of the metal ring directly, I really miss her beautiful little face."

Tony leaned lazily back in his chair, his feet resting on the table, holding a plate in his hand, and eating the tomato noodles in it for a while.

"Yes."

Jarvis opened the program, activated Tony's virus program installed in the metal ring, unlocked the S.H.I.E.L.D. code and gained control, and when he turned on the camera, the image appeared was water.

"What is this?"

Tony sat up straight in surprise and looked at the screen.

"Jarvis, is that a fish?"

What？？？ What's the situation, how can the footage recorded by the camera be in the water?

"Positioning, Jarvis, quick!"

Could it be that something happened to Bailey?

"Wait a minute, sir."

Jarvis was equally concerned about Isbelli's situation at this point.

The satellite quickly located the metal ring, showing that it was in a lake in Brooklyn, with a center depth of about seven meters.

"What's that?"

Tony stared at the screen with wide eyes, wondering if he was dazzled, he had just seen a huge fish tail, the glowing kind.

"Water monsters?"

But what does it have to do with Isbelle, how could she be in the lake?

"Jarvis, adjust the satellites and look around the lake."

"Right now."

Jarvis adjusted the satellite to scan the screen of the lake where the metal ring was located, and saw no one else but trees and a snowy sky.

"Excuseme Bailey is in the lake, where's the old man, where is he!" Tony lost his plate and was so angry that he couldn't do it, "Jarvis, Mark 2 can be used, let's go to Brooklyn right away." ”

"Sorrysir, the materials used in Mark 2 may freeze in the cold air, it is snowing in New York, and I am worried that the Warframe will lose its ability to move soon after entering the territory." Based on some previous results, Jarvis was not in favor of using the Mark 2 armor.

Tony walked to the warehouse where Mark's No. 2 suit was stored, with an anxious expression: "I can't care so much about Jarvis, Bailey is in the lake, OK?" She's in the lake, and none of us know what's going to happen to her, all I know is that the damn old popsicle didn't take care of her, and she's in danger of dying, and I don't want her to get hurt in any way, please Jarvis. ”

"Obey orders, sir."

……

The icy waters of the lake surrounded her, and consciousness gradually peeled away from her mind.

When she opened her eyes, she was in S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Inform Agent Corson that the cells taken from 084's body have changed dramatically, my God, how did it manage to reshape a complete shell with a single cell."

Dr. Curran in the real room stared in disbelief at what was floating in mid-air, just a minute ago, 084's cells suddenly glowed turquoise, and then the light expanded little by little, until it turned into a humanoid form, and then into Isbelli's appearance, the only difference was that it had no feet, only a strange cloud of green smoke.

"Doctor."

Phil Corson opened the door and walked in, and was also taken aback when he saw Isbelle in mid-air, his eyes wide open in disbelief of what he was seeing.

"Coulson, are you sure that 084 is still with Captain America?"

"Of course."

Corson was pretty sure that he had visited Isbelle in his little house in Brooklyn an hour earlier, but what was the scene going on, what was it?

"I'm so sorry I can't explain that."

Dr. Curran waved his hand in confusion.

"Phil ......"

Suddenly, Isbelle spoke, and she floated towards Corson, her bright eyes fixed on him.

"Are you Bailey?"

Corson frowned.

"I'm sorry."

Inexplicably, she bent over him, looking very sorry.

“Sorry？”

Corson said he didn't understand, but she didn't mean to explain, and instead turned into a cloud of smoke that rushed into his brain without warning.

Blue stone flower, second flower.

At the same time, the girl in the lake jumped from the water to the shore with all her might, her feet were restored, she untied the eight layers of pressure on the metal ring, and flew at the speed of light to the convenience area where the explosion had occurred during the day.
