After Mary's abduction, Clarke's life seems to be back on track. Hydra seems to have disappeared since Stern's suicide, and even Fury's old superior, Alexander Pierce, has disappeared.

However, after that incident, Clark considered that his hearing was not strong enough to listen to the entire city, so he could not be heard whenever someone called for help, as in the comics.

So he asked Tony to make a device for his family that could sound the alarm in times of danger, the only requirement was that the signal should be strong enough, and as for the question of whether the signal would be blocked, he trusted that Niny would solve it. After all, Tony's steel suit can continue to link with Jarvis without fear of being blocked, and he must have his own technology.

Months passed, and Clark hadn't been looking for any new hires. He was afraid that if someone tried to attack him again, his florist might be the first place to bear the brunt.

At the beginning, Clark also felt that his previous life might have been too salty, and he often went back to space to bask in the sun, and then returned to Earth to digest it after feeling full.

But as time went by, Clark felt that it was too much trouble to go back and forth like this, so he returned to his normal daily life of lying in the flower shop and basking in the sun.

On this day, while Clark was basking in the sun, he received a phone call. Clark picked up his phone and looked at it, and found that the person who called him was none other than Tony.

"Hey Clark, do you have time for the evening?"

Tony's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Probably, what's wrong, something?"

But Clark wasn't bad, he felt like he was going to fall asleep in the sun.

"We have the opening ceremony of the science and technology expo here tonight, you should have seen it in the news, why don't you come and have a fun?"

Tony, who had just returned from vacation, sat on his private jet to Los Angeles, sipping red wine and talking to Clark.

"Tech Fair?"

When he heard about the tech expo, Clark thought that this seemed to be the beginning of Iron Man 2. Counting the time, it's about the same.

"Huh?! What, you don't know? I don't know what you've been focusing on all day.

I'm going to reopen my father's tech expo for about a year. There will be a lot of world-leading technology in it, and you can bring a girl over and have fun. ”

Obviously, Tony was a little frustrated that he didn't know he was going to run a tech fair. After all, for this exhibition, he invested hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising.

So in order to make himself happy, knowing that Clark still hasn't had a partner, he poked Clarke's sore spot.

After hearing Tony's words, Clark said to the other end of the phone with a black face, "I don't have a girlfriend now." ”

To be honest, Clark doesn't know why, why doesn't he have a girlfriend when he is so handsome and has a good figure?

"Why don't I introduce you to one, what kind of fat or thin do you like? Do you like those magazine cover girls? ”

"Forget it, okay, will you introduce it to me? By the way, how is Banner? ”

Maybe I want to change the subject, or maybe it's because of my girlfriend. Clark unconsciously thought of Banner, who had recently fallen out of love, so he asked.

Because Banner felt that he couldn't control the Hulk, and then he was afraid that the Hulk would lose control and hurt Betty. So since the failure of Stern's experiment half a year ago, Banner has been hiding and not seeing Betty. And then just last week, Betty, who couldn't wait for Banner, married her psychiatrist.

And after Tony tells Banner about Betty's marriage, Banner goes silent.

"To be honest, it's not very good. He seems to have a little self-doubt, maybe it will be fine in a few days. ”

Clark thought back and found that Banner was also a little pitiful, and the relationship problem seemed to have never been resolved. First Betty, and then she got along with the widow sister when she was in Avengers 1, and as a result, the widow sister got along with the captain again when she was in American team 2.

"What a twist and turn in love." Thinking of this, Clark couldn't help but sigh for Banner.

"Ah, what did you say?"

Tony on the other side of the phone suddenly heard Clark say something he didn't understand, as if it was Chinese.

"Nothing. Eh, there's someone in my store, so I won't tell you about it. ”

Just as he was talking to Tony about the girl, a man came in from his flower shop. He looked, "Oh, isn't this Daisy?" Then I thought about it, and now I don't seem to have anything to say to Tony, so I just hung up the phone.

"Hey, Daisy, why are you free to come to me today?"

Looking at the phone that was hung up, Tony looked depressed. No one had ever hung up on Tony's phone, and Clarke's moment made Tony feel a little depressed.

"I was recently selected by a mentor to be her assistant and am now going to her lab. I happened to be passing by here, so I came in to have a look. ”

"Well, this is my flower shop, how about it, it looks good. Oh, by the way, Daisy, are you free for the night? I have two tickets for the opening ceremony of the Stark Tech Expo, do you want to go and see it together? ”

Maybe it's because of the change of mentality, Clark thought that Daisy's face was a bit square before, but after seeing it, he felt that she was actually quite good. Then the two of them are in New York again, and they usually come and go, and the relationship becomes not bad.

Seeing Daisy roaring, Clark thought of Tony's tech fair, and immediately felt that it would be okay if he took Daisy there.

"I'd love to go, but I probably won't be able to do it tonight. I'm going to go out to New Mexico with my mentor in a few days, so I still have a lot of data to teach and research in the past two days, so I shouldn't be available tonight. ”

Daisy thought about it for a while, and said that she still had a lot of things to do these days, so she couldn't spare time.

"Well, then it looks like I'll have to go alone"

"I'm not going to talk to you yet, I'm almost out of time, I'll go first, bye."

As she spoke, Daisy looked at her phone and found that it was not early, and she might be late if it was too late.

"Okay, bye-bye."

Because he didn't find a female companion, Clark went to Tony's tech fair alone at night.

Because today is the opening ceremony, the official exhibition hall has not yet opened. The main part of the evening is the opening ceremony and some performances, but there will also be a lot of business or technology big names coming over this evening.

Because Tony had said hello, Clark didn't stand under the stage like a regular audience, but had a VIP seat for him.

When the opening ceremony of the evening begins, Clark sees a group of sexyly dressed and hot beauties running up from the backstage.

"Damn rich people."

Looking at this group of beauties, Clark could only complain with envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Huh?!"

Clarke, who was watching the performance, suddenly felt as if something was approaching rapidly in the sky, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Tony, dressed in steel, swooping down rapidly from the sky, and then landing in the center of the stage.

"Sassy bag."

After Tony landed, three mechanical arms spawned under his feet, and he quickly took off his steel suit. After the steel suit was taken off, Tony, wearing a suit, appeared in front of the public.

"It's good to be back, you miss me so much." Tony, who felt like he hadn't been on this stage for a long time, turned around and said this to the crowd.

Also, in the past six months, Tony has been immersed in his experiments, and has basically rarely appeared in the outside world. On the one hand, he is thinking about upgrading his Mark suit, and on the other hand, he is also looking for a solution to palladium poisoning.

However, even with Banner's joining, there is still no good solution for palladium poisoning. After all, even if it was solved for a while, the source of the virus was actually in Tony's chest. The reactor will feed Tony's blood with a steady stream of toxins that will affect his life.

There are only two solutions Tony can think of right now, one is to get rid of the reactor. But this method Tony will definitely not use, because he is still immersed in the sense of accomplishment of being a superhero.

Another option is to find a new source of energy with no side effects. But Tony tried all the energy elements, and none of them could replace the reactor in his chest.

So now Tony feels as if he has seen the end of his life.
