Chapter Sixty-Five: Alcoholism Stark
Anthony Edward Stark returned to his sea-view mansion drunk, carrying two bottles of 25-year-old whiskey, staggering open the door, falling headlong on the sofa, Pepper appeared at the door of the living room, leaning against the door frame and looking at him.
"Friday!" Stark mumbled, "Turn on the TV......"
"Antonio!" Pepper starts calling Stark's name and says, "You've got brains, you've got money, and you've got me!" You still have the identity of Avenger and Iron Man, the dreams of children, but now you are here drinking whiskey to destroy your life! Why exactly? What robs you of courage? ”
"...... I don't want to hear you yell! Stark whispered.
Pepper's face was sad, she turned her head not to let Tony see the tears in her eyes, she whispered, "I'm ready to resign!" Stark! ”
Tony didn't answer, he covered his face under the couch.
As an artificial intelligence, Friday was well-behaved and quiet next to him, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Pepper finally despaired, she turned around to get out of here, and when she walked towards the door in her high heels, Stark's head buried under the couch muttered an inexplicable sentence: "We're all going to die!" The whole world is dark...... There is no hope! ”
Pepper stopped, tears streaming down her eyes, and she looked back at Stark and said, "We're all going to die...... But we still have hope! Only those who are willing to fall will give up hope! ”
"You don't understand what I'm seeing...... Pepper! Stark seemed untouched.
"I've moved my stuff out!" Pepper said, "I think I need someone to sober up...... You need someone too...... Live with your whiskey! I don't care anymore! ”
Pepper slammed the door and left, and Tony lifted his head off the couch, got up and brought himself a glass of wine, and said to Friday, "Add ice...... Turn on the TV! ”
The TV on the side of his mansion, which occupied an entire wall, was turned on, a mechanical hand took out ice cubes from the 5 refrigerator, put them in the wine glass, and Friday hesitated: "Sir, you have exceeded the federal alcohol standard today!" ”
"Is it your turn to teach me a lesson?" Stark scolded unhappily.
The voice of the news broadcast came from the TV: "...... It can be seen on the west coast, and we have received reports from folk astronomy enthusiasts that we were able to observe the floating pyramid with astronomical telescopes from eight o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the afternoon. It is said that it rose from Egypt, and thousands of locals witnessed the step pyramid parting a passage, and this behemoth that was nearly a kilometer high and hundreds of miles wide flew out of it......"
"Until then, projections of eagle images in the sky could be seen throughout the Western Hemisphere. This is the largest UFO event in human history, and the most well-documented! Where does it come from? Is it an alien spaceship lurking on Earth, or a masterpiece of an ultra-ancient civilization? Is it a miracle built by the Egyptian pharaohs or evidence of aliens in Earth's history! ”
"It's Cybertron!" A local named Sam swore that "about 4,000 years ago, 13 patriarchs of the Cybertron people came to Earth and enslaved the local inhabitants to build the pyramids, and they built this machine under the pyramid, and the key to this machine is the energy matrix. Once the energy matrix is opened, this floating pyramid will make the sun into a source of fire and bring it back to save their planet...... It's an alien conspiracy! ”
The beautiful reporter continued the interview: "Then how did you learn all this? ”
Sam said enthusiastically: "When my grandfather was exploring Antarctica, he once discovered Megatron, the leader of the Cybertrons, and engraved the knowledge of Cybertron into my grandfather's glasses. Someday...... I put on my glasses...... My Chevrolet will deform ...... KakakukuKakaku...... Transformers ......"
In the background of the interview, the laughter of locals could be heard: "Come on! Sam, your grandfather was a shoemaker, and he never went to Antarctica. ”
"Do you still believe in that dream you had?"
"Maniac Sam...... Madman Sam, you don't have a Chevrolet sports car at home, just a broken Ford pickup! ”
"Why not, I picked it up from the garbage heap with my own hands!" Sam argued.
The beautiful reporter was embarrassed and embarrassed, and secretly complained in her heart, how could she interview a madman? The director hurriedly cut the scene back to the scene, and a dog-like expert explained: "We all know the existence of aliens, from the Battle of New York to the disaster in New York, it is natural that ancient Egyptians have a connection with aliens...... The pharaoh claimed to be the son of the gods, and they intermarried among themselves, and modern scientific research has shown that the pharaoh's genes ......"
Stark raised his hand to turn off the TV and whispered, "Idiot...... I'd rather listen to the crazy stuff that the madman just said, at least it's funny, and those idiots will mention it...... Aliens, aliens. But they didn't know that right next door to them, China...... It's a living alien country. ”
"Aliens are your neighbors, just across the Pacific Ocean!"
Stark drunkenly pulled up the information that Steve had asked him for, and he was familiar with a piece of vellum with a drawing of a building exactly like the floating pyramid on TV, and Tony flipped over the vellum, and behind the paper were some seemingly useless graffiti and messy text.
Stark stared at the spear and shield on the graffiti for a long time, he suddenly stood up, went to the bathroom and threw a few handfuls of cold water on his face, and called Nick Fury: "Old One-Eye, I need information on what Steve took from you...... I'm not going to trade him for wine......"
After receiving the promise, Stark sat on the sofa and flipped through the information he was already very familiar with, waiting for the data from S.H.I.E.L.D., he checked the information of the Spear Bureau, which was already a little behind, inquired about Steve's movements, and asked the Department of Defense for information about the floating pyramid.
Even called an old friend Crow – "Hey! Isn't this the head of our arms dealers, the Iron Man? ”
Crow leaned his legs on the desk, leaned back in his chair, and said to Starck, "It's rare to contact me!" Elegant? ”
"Don't gossip, catch up later!" Stark said bluntly: "I want Steve's to have happened to you, video, text, or you tell me personally, it's okay!" Stark Industries will support your vibranium futures! ”
"Don't you care about the poor king?" Crowe laughed and said, "Your comrade-in-arms, Captain America is very supportive, he has caused us a lot of trouble!" ”
"No one is going to support a dictator...... What age is it now? The people don't need a king anymore! Stark said, "Send me the information...... You know my mailbox! ”
"Every arms dealer ......," said Crow, "you may not remember the email address of the President of the United States, but you will never forget Stark's mailbox...... I'll send it to you later! ”
