"Director ......"

Coulson gestured in the direction Tony had left, but stopped talking.

"Don't worry," Suppressing the stunned and disappointed on his face, Nick Fury comforted his subordinates with two words: "Tony's temperament can't tolerate the slightest doubt and contempt, and in order to prove himself, he will definitely give 200% effort." ”

"Then we don't care?"

Although Coulson is not engaged in R&D, he also knows that this kind of thing cannot be accomplished simply by relying on hard work and faith, otherwise the researchers in the laboratory would not still be focused on matching pigs.

Tony was not a suicide man, and he must have devoted all his energy to the improvement of the palladium reactor earlier, but he still turned into the self-defeating appearance he is now, apparently realizing that he has reached a dead end.

"There are still a lot of Howard's research manuscripts in the lab, which are also about cold variable polymerization reactors, which may provide Tony with new ideas. ”

"He is not willing to accept the help of an outsider, Ivan, and he will never refuse his deceased father again!"

Nick Fury rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, feeling a little irritable, thinking that he joined S.H.I.E.L.D. with the lofty concept of "protecting world peace", why did he now seem to have become the father of two children who are not worry-free!

"Director!"

Hill walked in with a pile of manuscript paper and handed it to Nick Fury's desk.

Looking at the tired look of her boss, the female agent who had already heard the news of Tony's arrival easily guessed the reason: "Tony didn't agree?"

"Yes, even if death is imminent, he still doesn't want to change that stinky fart!"

Until now, Nick Fury's choice of Tony has been a little difficult to understand.

"If it changes, he's not Tony anymore!"

Compared with Director S.H.I.E.L.D., who has gradually begun to think about the big picture, Coulson is easier to understand Tony's thoughts, and everyone has the strength to not admit defeat, Tony is just a little extreme.

"Director," Hill thought for a moment, trying to suggest another possibility: "Did Tony see something?"

Nick frowned when he heard this, and carefully recalled the process of his conversation with Tony, and the other party's sudden free and easy attitude seemed to have a better explanation.

"It's not out of the question. ”

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Hill's words made sense, and Nick Fury, who was not unacceptable to failure, made a decision: "This plan will be abandoned, and neither Tony nor Evan will make any further attempts." ”

Yes, planned.

The conversation with Tony was that Nick Fury had already had a plan for the draft, and he was thinking about it for a while, but Mr. Stark bumped into him.

Using words to strengthen Tony's bond and attachment to life, and faking Ivan's words to reduce his inner resistance, all in order to make Tony accept his offer and use Evan's technology to help him out of danger.

As for Evan, these days of accommodation and alternative confrontation have also brought them closer.

Nick Fury believes that as long as he is in control of the conversation, the kid who claims to be the descendant of a hero will not watch Tony die in front of his eyes for the sake of so-called technology.

Once the plan is successful, it is a win-win for all three.

As for S.H.I.E.L.D., not only did they further deepen their connection with the two scientists, but they were also able to use Tony's hands to analyze Ivan's technology, and they could also take this opportunity to gain more reactor-related technology from their collaborative research.

However, before the plan could actually be implemented, Tony was very resistant to expressing his anger at the interference of others, and he was willful and even disregarded his own life.

No, not necessarily willful.

Nick Fury shook his head, Agent Hill's speculation seemed to be the only explanation for Tony Stark's behavior at the time, after all, Tony was naïve like a child in life, but not necessarily when it came to dealing with other people's malicious calculations.

Since childhood, Tony's far beyond the contemporary research and development ability has aroused the covetousness of all forces, because of Howard's relationship, they can't snatch it in the open, but the secret calculation has never been less, but so far I have never heard of anyone taking advantage of each other, thinking that this is enough to explain something.

"I think I'm calculating Ivan, so I'd rather gamble on my life than involve that kid, he thinks he's great, but it's actually childish and ridiculous!"

Nick leaned lightly on the back of the chair behind him, and he could understand what the other party was doing, but he still scolded Tony, as an elder.

Hill and Coulson were silent, and it was not easy for them to intervene in this kind of thing.

"Go ahead," Nick Fury, who quickly came out of his emotions, instructed Coulson, "Send Tony all the information left by Howard in S.H.I.E.L.D., there's only so much that I, a wicked person, can do for my old friend's orphan." ”

Coulson led the order out, leaving Hill whispering comfort to the lonely Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. on his face.

"I'm fine," Nick smiled, he was also an old agent, and his ability to regulate his emotions was not much worse than that of Hill and the others, "Evan is back?"

"I was about to tell you about this," Hill tapped the paper on the table and chuckled, "This is what Evan gave you." ”

"It can't be a war book, right?"

Nick opened a few pages with a surprised face, and found that it was a hand-drawn graffiti, as for what it was, he really couldn't guess it if he didn't look at the letter notes next to it.

"Ice Cream ......" pronounced the marker next to the pointing arrow, and Nick glanced at Hill across from him and asked, "What do you mean?"

"He sat on the pirate ship for a while today, and ate five large portions of ice cream by himself, two of which he said were bought for 'Captain Nick', but he finished the food himself before he could hold it in his hand for two minutes. ”

"It's hard for him to think about me. ”

Nick laughed dumbly, a little annoyed by the nickname "Captain Nick", but he was still happy to hear that the little bastard remembered to bring him two ice creams.

Whether he ate it or not, he put it aside, at least he was very content with this intention.

"So, he drew me a pair of ice cream, and these are?"

"I wanted to buy another one," Hill explained, "but Melinda and I were afraid that one would be eaten by him without looking, so we didn't agree, who would have thought that he would draw a few copies with crayons himself, and it would be all-round and three-dimensional." ”

Although he had only seen a few of them, Nick, who already had some knowledge of the boy's ability to doodle, did not plan to look at the ice cream drawings from other angles in the back, and sorted out the manuscript paper on the table and put it in the drawer of his desk.

"Can he stand eating so much ice cream?"

"Of course I can't stand it, otherwise I wouldn't have run into the bathroom and wouldn't have come out. ”

Hill also looked like he couldn't do anything with Ivan: "At first, we thought something happened to him and almost broke into the men's bathroom, but then he came out with drawing paper, and we knew that he was going to draw ice for you inside." ”

"I thought it was a two-minute sketch, but it seems to have taken a lot of effort to hear what you mean?"

Nick was a little surprised, but then he forgot about it, not knowing that he had guessed exactly when he was painting.

"Not really!"

Hill chimed in, and was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Nick Fury: "You said he drew it in the bathroom?"

"That's right!"

Hill nodded, and then, as if thinking of something, moved his steps without a trace, and then rubbed his hand holding the manuscript paper on the armrest of the couch.

“......”

Although Nick Fury is one-eyed, the small movements of his men still haven't escaped his eyes, but he doesn't care, he doesn't sit there anyway.

"Director, I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do!"

"You go get busy," Nick nodded, and then remembered something and stopped the departing Ciel: "Go and talk to Evan, although Tony is naïve, he is worthy of the title of hero, at least he is not qualified to despise the other party!"

"But ......" Hill didn't respond as firmly as before, but hesitated: "If we spread it out, will it make Evan misunderstand us?"

Stunned for a moment, Nick also knew that he was emotional, S.H.I.E.L.D. was indeed coveting the technology in Ivan's hands, but this kind of thing couldn't let the boy who loved to drill horns know: "Forget it, you ask Melinda and Coulson to persuade him, at least don't show Tony any more face." ”

"I'll let them try it, it should work. Hill said with a smile: "Evan is just a kid after all, and his temper comes and goes quickly, don't you want to bring ice cream for you now, it shouldn't be difficult to change your attitude towards Tony." ”

"You," glared at his right-hand man, and Nick said angrily, "I can't speak like Coulson!"

Ignoring his pursed lips and snickering at his men, Nick Fury continued to command, "Call Nova here, I have something to tell her!"

Ciel nodded, and left his boss's office with a blistering pace, leaving the brooding Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. alone in a daze......

"Director, are you looking for me?"

I don't know how long it took, when Nick Fury came back to his senses, Natasha Romanoff, dressed in a black tight-fitting combat suit, stood in front of him.

"Nova has something you need to do. ”

After adjusting his mood, Nick regained his usual calm, his voice was still calm, and he couldn't tell that he was still worried about Tony's affairs just over half an hour ago.

"You command!"

Natasha is a brilliant executive agent who rarely asks about irrelevant matters.

"Tony Stark has been focusing on palladium reactor improvements lately, and Pepper Potts has become the CEO of Stark Industries, so he probably doesn't have much energy to care about his personal affairs. ”

"You want me to seduce him?"

This kind of thing will definitely be a little cover-up and embarrassing for other women, but for the widowed sister who has experienced a hundred battles, it is just a normal job.

"No," Nick shook his head, his face a little cold, "Stark Industries will be recruiting people soon, and I want you to apply for Pepper Potts's assistant to the president, not Tony Stark's personal secretary." ”

Although a little stunned, Natasha nodded and took the task: "What am I going to do?"

"Know everything about the company's ......"

The rest of the words came to Nick's lips, and he waved his hand at Natasha, signaling the other party to do as she was told.

Whether as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. or as Howard's friend, Nick wants Tony to survive the catastrophe in front of him, but sometimes fate is not a matter of manpower, so he has to prepare for the worst in advance.

It may seem a little ruthless, but for Nick Fury, who believes in "maintaining world peace and stability" as a dogma, he is first an agent, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and then something else.
