Earth, Washington, D.C., USA.

In the quiet of the night, the night sky was dotted with stars, and in the intensive care ward of a hospital, Tony Stark, who was on or off the operating table, was still in a coma on the hospital bed with a hanging infusion tube inserted all over his body.

Pepp Potts, the little pepper of the night vigil, sat on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

She was so tired.

Tired.

What happened today was beyond her reach.

Now lying in bed, relying on tens of millions of dollars a day infusions to barely keep her heart beating, Tony Stark almost broke down.

"Tuk-tuk."

There was a knock on the door of the ward in the silence of the night, and Pebo Potts opened his eyes in an instant, and said vigilantly, "Who?" ”

"It's me, Banner."

Bruce Banner, who was carrying a bag in his hand, pushed open the door of the hospital room, looking a little haggard in the dust.

"I've brought you something to eat, so let's eat something first."

Bruce Banner placed the bag of sandwiches and milk on the table.

"How's it going over there with S.H.I.E.L.D.

"What do they say?"

Pebo Potts, who pinned all his hopes for the cure of Tony Stark on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s black technology, hurriedly stood up and asked.

"Pebo............" Bruce Banner looked a little hesitant, but finally decided to tell the truth.

"I can't get in touch with S.H.I.E.L.D., including Natasha, with whom I was on the phone before."

"It's as if they've disappeared en masse."

"But don't worry, trust them, they're all well-trained agents, they'll be fine." Banner's last words of comfort pale and weak.

Judging from what happened before, it was Beckett and Beckett's men who attacked them.

And the consequences of their shot............

"In fact, most of them are dead."

An extremely unfamiliar voice accompanied by the "creaking" sound of the door came into the ears of Pepp and Banner, and a strangely dressed figure immediately met the eyes of the two.

First impression: This man's face is so long.

"Stephen Strange?!" The moment he turned his head to see the face of the visitor, Pebo Potts couldn't help but let out a low breath.

"What? Pebo, do you know him? Bruce Banner, who had been living a life of [fugitive-seclusion-escape-seclusion] before the battle of New York, looked puzzled.

"A very famous doctor, but quit medicine after a car accident, and no one knows where he went." Pebo Potts wondered.

Because Tony Stark was unconscious, she spent the afternoon sitting alone in her hospital room, searching for various medical celebrities.

Naturally, the name Stephen Strange is also on her search list.

It's just that............

She had just searched for [Stephen Strange] in the afternoon, and he himself appeared in front of her in the evening?

This big data monitoring has also been monitored on her head?

"Once upon a time, I used to be a doctor." Dressed in mage robes, Strange confessed his identity and made a small correction in passing.

"Now, I'm a magician."

"Wait, what did you mean when you said most of them were dead?"

Reflexing, Bruce Banner reached out to protect Perbo Potts behind him, always vigilant, ready to call Hulk at any moment.

"As you can see, I'm a magician. During the day, when I was practicing in the New York Sanctuary, I sensed a change in space, and then I saw the S.H.I.E.L.D. mothership explode. ”

"Unfortunately, when I arrived at the nearest crash site, only two people were still alive."

"One is called Coulson and the other is called Barton."

"They are now working on the resettlement site to find other companions and hold a funeral for their director, Nick Fury."

Strange clarified the final fate of S.H.I.E.L.D. to Banner and Pebo.

The army was wiped out, the resources were destroyed, and even the king of secret agents, Nick Fury, was forced to give his life.

And this is only because of the long-range casual blow of Beckett, the son of the Titan.

“………………”

“………………”

Bruce Banner and Pebo Potts fell silent.

Strange's statement just confirmed the conjecture that the two of them were most reluctant to admit.

"What evidence do you have?" Pebo Potts, who does not want to lose Tony's hope of recovery, is still struggling.

"Proof............" Strange thought before deciding.

With his arms outstretched, his left hand pointed into the void, and a rainbow had already appeared on his fingertips;

With a swipe of his right hand, a vivid demon dragon opened its mouth and roared.

The magnificent roulette wheel of the magic circle swirled in the palm of Strange's hand, and the flickering light completely brought the two in front of them into the world of magic.

Airplanes!

With a soft groan, the magic receded, and the ward where the demons were dancing returned to calm, and Stephen Strange looked at the two people who were shocked into a cold sweat and asked, "Now, do you believe it?" ”

"So, can you tell me what you're here for?" Pebo Potts, who had forced himself to forget the previous scene, was still trembling when he spoke.

"Tony Stark."

"The earth needs him."

"He can't die right now."

Strange was serious.

In the letter left by his teacher, the Ancient One, before he left, Tony Stark's name is mentioned five times.

And every time the paragraph is crucial.

"Tony?"

"Can you save Tony?!" Pebo Potts' eyes lit up for a moment.

"No, I can't. He's too badly injured right now, but I can temporarily separate his soul from this broken body. ”

Strange shook his head and said his plan.

Tony Stark's injuries were not only missile explosions, but also the impact of the isotope energy of the Mind Gem, which was not so easy to heal.

His plan was to wait until the energy from the Mind Gem isotope was completely gone, and then he would treat Tony Stark.

“………… Soul............? ”

"Yes, it's like that."

Stephen Strange walked over to the bedside, pinched a seal in his hand, and pressed his right palm against Tony Stark's forehead.

With the gradual elevation of Strange's right arm, Tony Stark's soul gradually appeared in front of the stunned Pepp and Banner.

"It's ............ My corpse ??? ”

Tony Stark, who was pulled out of his body, looked at himself on the hospital bed, and then at the three people in the ward, and a rare bewilderment appeared on his face: "Pebo? ”

"Tony?"

"Is it really you?"

The incredibly Perbo Potts tries to touch Tony Stark in his soul state, but he misses it.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Pepp. So far, none of you have been able to touch Tony Stark except me. ”

Stephen Strange, the initiator of this scene, opened a sparkling portal with one hand, motioning for the three to come with him.
