Chapter 8: I'm Iron Man
Snake Shield headquarters.
Alexander Pierce was sitting on the couch, and John Garrett, clairvoyant, was reporting to him on remote video.
John Garrett: "The one who wins is Stark. ”
Alexander Pierce nodded: "We all underestimated him, but although he was the victor in the end, this does not hide the strength of the Iron Overlord." Stark's Warframe proved to work wonders against normal enemies, but it was a bit powerless against Heavy Armor. ”
"Indeed, the reloading armor is the king, and the bells and whistles like the Mark armor should be left to Tony Stark to play with!"
"By the way, our people have already been arranged, right?"
"It's arranged, Agent 37 has found that there is no way to escape, and has taken the initiative to meet the Red Skull."
"It's a pity, but for the sake of Hydra's cause, sacrifice is inevitable. Fortunately, the design drawings of the Ark reactor have been obtained, the actual combat ability of the Iron Overlord has also been verified, the two major strategic goals have been achieved, and his sacrifice can be regarded as a well-deserved death. ”
It turned out that it was none other than the Hydra spies sent by Alexander Pierce and John Garrett who launched the attack on Tony Stark.
Not only did they snatch Stark's reactor, but they also copied a drawing, and although the reactor was back in Stark's possession, the drawings quietly reached Hydra's lab.
In fact, after grabbing the reactor, the reason why the Hydra was not in a hurry to transfer, but was installed on the copycat Iron Overlord, was to test the actual combat ability of the Iron Overlord, and secondly, to cover the transfer of this drawing.
Compared with the real thing, the value of the drawing is undoubtedly higher.
In addition, Tony Stark's compatibility problem is not because there are traitors around him, but because the original warframe he abandoned in the Middle East happened to fall into the hands of Hydra, so the Iron Overlord and Mark Warframe are very different in appearance, but they are in the same vein in terms of technical standards and interfaces.
Speaking of drawings, Garrett asked curiously, "How are the drawings parsing?" ”
Just as Alexander Pierce was about to answer, a higher-priority call came in, from the Hydra scientist who was in charge of parsing the drawing.
"What's the matter?"
"There's a problem with Tony Stark's drawing, there's a material and a step missing from it, and I want to restore it for at least a year!"
"What!"
Alexander Pierce's face was cloudy, and all the smugness turned into annoyance, he knew that there was a problem with the drawings, so it was better to bring back the real thing of the reactor, and now not only did he return the real thing of the Ark reactor, but he also gave him a Steel Overlord, which was really a stealing chicken.
However, he will not give up on this, and Tony Stark will have to face more than just a hydra if he wants to keep his invention.
The military, CIA, arms dealers, and even S.H.I.E.L.D. are all eyeing each other!
……
Kama Taj.
Master Hamil asked the Ancient One worriedly: "I remember you said that time is a particularly sensitive thing, whoever plays with time, time will play with him, that outsider plays with time wantonly, changing the direction of the future, why would you be so laissez-faire, not only did not stop it, but also taught him magic?" ”
"Outsiders and insiders are not the same."
"What's the difference?"
"......" the Ancient One wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start, because her explanation would only make Master Hamil question more.
There was silence for a long time.
Master Hamil decided to change his perspective: "The future has infinite possibilities, is his behavior really making the good more possible and the bad less possible?" ”
"Maybe."
"What if he loses the good possibility?"
"It's gone, it's gone, it's not really important whether it's good or bad, it's important to change, and what the world really needs is change!"
……
The next morning, Stark Industries held a joint press conference with the Lighthouse Nation military.
Tony Stark's good friend James Rhodes said seriously on the stage: "Everyone, you all got the official report of yesterday's 'Iron Man' incident.
There are unconfirmed reports that yesterday was the second part of "Iron Man" that Kama Taj Entertainment Co., Ltd. was filming, so please don't worry that the villains in the movie will go to the real world to wreak havoc, and don't spread rumors that Obadiastan has escaped from prison.
Movies are movies and won't become reality, and Obadiastan is in custody and the case will begin in a week. ”
In the lounge next to the press conference, Pepperpotts was sorting out Tony Stark's clothes, Stark was looking at the newspaper and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Why is the movie called Iron Man, and I have to be called Iron Man?" Obviously, my armor is made of gold and titanium. ”
Potts was about to coax him when Phil Coulson came in.
"Tony, we want you to admit that you invested in the filming of Iron Man, and all your previous actions were to promote the film."
"Why would I do this?"
Because that's the only way it makes sense. I believe you are also interested in this mysterious Agomoto, if you don't admit it, there will be countless paparazzi, spies, careerists who want to find each other, which will bring a huge threat to you, to us, to the world! ”
"To put it bluntly, you don't want others to find Agamotto, you just want to find it yourself, right?"
"Including you."
"Okay."
"We have enough evidence to prove that we were filming yesterday, and the place where the incident happened has been set up, and me, Harpy, Miss Potts, and others who have appeared in the movie will come forward to testify for you, and you just have to read the speech."
At the press conference, James Rhodes was still making a guest appearance as the host: "For yesterday's events, Tony Stark prepared a speech, and I would like to invite Mr. Tony Stark!" ”
Tony Stark stepped forward: "I know that there are a lot of people who want me to say that like in the movie, but ......"
Suddenly, someone in the audience interrupted: "Do you really think that we will treat movies as reality and you as Iron Man?" ”
"No, no......"
"No, it won't! The "Iron Man" movie is just a YY for you, a YY that is boundless, whimsical, and just wants to satisfy your vanity, just like many people have fantasized, but they don't have the conditions, and you have the money, you can invite a large group of people to act for yourself. ”
"OK, I'm really not superhero fodder, I have a bunch of character flaws and made so many mistakes......"
Someone was dissatisfied: "Mr. Tony Stark, please stop reading the lines, we are very familiar with the lines in the movie, we don't need to revisit them again, thank you!" ”
“OK!”
Tony Stark reluctantly raised the card in his hand, and then was silent for a long time before a sentence popped out of his mouth: "I am Iron Man." ”
With a bang, the media left the scene angrily.
I said don't memorize movie lines, he's still memorizing! Is this when they have no brains?
Looking at the scene in front of him, Tony Stark had mixed feelings and couldn't help muttering: "I'm really Iron Man." ”
