"Otherwise, do you think I'm playing house, Roddy."

Apparently Tony wants to use a fist-to-flesh fight to get Roddy to master the driving skills of Mark II?

"I'm saying it again, put my armor back, Iron Man doesn't need an assistant."

"Assistant's fart."

Roddy controls Mark II to pounce and knock Tony to the ground.

Then, the two of them started a turn-based game of you punch me punch.

"Hey, over here."

Mike sat at the bar and said to the two who were in a mess.

"Shut up, Mr. Edinson."

Roddy was slightly distracted and was punched away by Tony.

Mike watched Roddy fly over again, lifted the bottle in his hand, and uncorked it with the armor of Roddy's arm that flew over.

"Thank you. Roddy. ”

Mike took a long sip of his wine after saying that.

Suddenly, Mike notices a blonde beauty at the door.

"Hey, Agent Normanoff, would you like a drink?"

Mike held up the bottle and said to Natasha at the door.

It turned out that Natasha was tasked with conducting a mental assessment of Stark, and due to the impact of the Hulk incident, Tony Stark had already met her, so she took advantage of the party to sneak in.

"No, no."

Natasha rolled her eyes. I'm an agent, I'm on a mission, you just called my name so openly, I don't want to lose face.

Although she thought about it a lot, Natasha didn't talk to Mike much, but watched Iron Man Brawl intently.

"Who do you think will win?"

Suddenly, Mike's voice came out of Natasha's ear.

"Mike, sir, I'm on a mission."

Natasha was a little speechless, she felt that Mike's personality did not match the information on the source.

At this point, the fight between Tony and Roddy in the room was no longer limited to punches and kicks.

"That's what you want? Enjoy!"

Looking at Roddy, who raised his hand in the palm of his hand, Tony spoke. And Tony also raised his hand and aimed at Roddy, while Tony's palm cannon also began to energy in the episode.

"Put your hands down, why are you wearing this armor?"

"We don't need Tony like this. If you want to be a war maniac, then fire. ”

"Put your hands down!"

"Hurry up and fire"

"Put your hands down!"

"No!"

"Put down Tony!"

"Come on!"

Finally, the energy distance of the palm cannon reached its limit.

Two pillars of light shot out and collided together. The energy that collided together did not interact with each other and dissipate little by little, but continued to accumulate.

"Tu Dun, Tu Liubi."

Mike slammed his hands on the ground, and a chakra-reinforced rock wall rose from the ground.

"Boom."

The huge explosion shattered all the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa, and glass, stones, and other things that were damaged by the explosion flew out.

After the explosion, the villa was in shambles.

Roddy pushed away the stone pillar that was pressing on him and glanced at Tony, who was still lying on the ground. Without saying anything, he drove Mark II away.

Mike controlled the rock wall to sink into the ground, walked over to Tony, and reached out to pull him up.

"Thanks, Mike."

Tony said, clutching his aching arm. He didn't expect the energy to burst out at close range from a flight stabilization device so strongly.

"It's fine, it's just a pity that there are so many good wines. By the way, there's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent out there, do you want to ......?"

Mike, remembering Natasha, casually mentioned it to Tony.

"No, I need to rest now. Cough...... Ahem......"

By the time Mike left the villa, which had been destroyed by the explosion, Natasha was nowhere to be seen.

"I don't think I'll have a chance to talk to her." Mike was still thinking about Natasha's escape from the hopeless organization of S.H.I.E.L.D.

……

Edward Air Force Base, Mojave Desert, California.

"Edward Tower, I'm Marine Lieutenant Colonel James Roddy, about to enter from five thousand feet east of base..."

A silver-white human object flashed in the air, and it was none other than the future war machine Roddy.

With a roar, Roddy controlled Mark II into the hangar.

"That's the dandy's armor."

"Looks so strong."

"yes, I don't know when we'll be able to try it, it must be enjoyable."

Several pilots looked at Mark II on Roddy's body with hot eyes, after all, flying a fighter jet is much different from flying in the air in steel armor.

……

In the Triple Wing Building, Nick Fury's office.

"Director, Lieutenant Colonel Roddy took away a suit of steel. And beat up Tony Stark. ”

"Expected."

Nick Fury, the one-eyed boiled egg, said expressionlessly.

"How's Tony Stark's assessment, Agent Normanoff."

"The Chief of the Report, as a scientist, is undoubtedly a genius, but he has many character flaws. Also, I didn't observe any signs of poisoning in Tony Stark. But he would drink a green drink. ”

"It seems that someone helped him remove the poison once, but he couldn't eradicate it, so he drank the drink he developed to suppress it. Do you think he is a good fit to join our program? ”

"He's strong in terms of strength, but his character is ......"

"But at least he has morals. The bottom line and feelings, aren't they? ”

"What do you mean?" Although Natasha had already guessed Nick Fury's plan, she still pretended not to know.

"Stark is good enough to be an advisor, after all, he is Howard's son, and now we need a leader, a real leader."

One-eyed boiled egg Nick Fury muttered as he looked into the distance.

"By the way, Director, I met Mike Edinson on the spot, and he seems to be stronger."

"Mike Edinson."

When Nick Fury heard the name, he thought of Hydra entrenched within S.H.I.E.L.D., and his old boss, Alexander Pierce. He still couldn't figure out why Pierce would recommend him to be the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., and what they were doing.

"Director, I think Mike Edinson's profile needs to be re-evaluated, and there seems to be some change in his personality."

"Be specific."

"There is a big difference between his behavior pattern and the calmness and composure recorded in the file." As she spoke, Natasha pulled out the audio she had recorded today.

Nick Fury listened to Mike's voice in the audio, and he could hear a hint of relief in it, combined with Mike's growing strength.

"He should think that his strength is enough to deal with the current environment and the hidden crisis. However, his performance from a young age proves that he knows more than we think. ”
