"What the hell did he just do to me?" Feeling the changes in his body, Stark looked at Natasha and Fury in some surprise.

"We're here for your good." Nick Fury looked at Tony Stark and said with concern: "That's lithium dioxide, it slows your symptoms, we want you to go back to work." ”

"If you can give me two more boxes, I'll be completely fine." Stark looked up at Fury and Natasha, his eyes shining.

Tony Stark is very smart and shrewd, Ling Xiao has treated him for half a year, although because of Ling Xiao's caution, Stark did not get the formula for his bottle of potion, but according to the residue in his body, he has also done some research.

Ling Xiao's potion is like a kind of repellent, after each treatment, the palladium element in his body will be expelled, and what Natasha injected him just now is another principle, it seems to be able to dissolve the palladium element.

"It's not an antidote." As soon as she saw the look on Stark's face, Natasha knew what he was thinking, shook her head, and said, "This can only slow down your poisoning, but it can't completely cure it." ”

"It doesn't seem like it's going to be easy to cure you completely." Glancing at Tony's neck, Fury frowned and asked, "Can you tell me what kind of means the little guy named Ling Xiao used to treat you, and whether you can make a better antidote according to his method." ”

"I'm afraid not, these are two completely different ways." When it came to his own life, Stark didn't hide anything, and explained in detail how Ling Xiao had treated him so many times, and finally said with some disappointment: "It's all a palliative but not a cure, I have to spend millions of dollars every month to relieve the physical crisis, and it can only be temporarily lifted." ”

"Looks like things are getting a little in trouble." Hearing that it was Stark who said this, Fury and Natasha looked at each other, equally disappointed. Things were a little different from what they imagined, and they had hoped to combine Ling Xiao's potion with the treatment they had mastered to find a better treatment, but now it seemed that they were a little wishful thinking.

"Trust me, I know a lot about my body." Tony smiled very calmly and said, "I've been looking for a replacement for palladium, and I've tried every combination of each element. ”

"No, you don't. I'll tell you, you definitely haven't tried them all. Nick Fury's face showed a smug smile, he looked at Tony Stark, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see something." ”

"Okay." Tony didn't refuse, and he was also a little curious about what else he hadn't tried.

To Tony's surprise, he followed Nick Fury back to his villa in Malibu Beach.

Sitting in the messy living room, Fury said in a deep voice, "That thing on your chest is actually based on unfinished technology. ”

"No, that's the finished product." Tony waved his hand and said, "I shrunk it to make it work." ”

"No, Howard said that the Ark Reactor is just a springboard to greater technology." In Stark's incredulous eyes, Fury continued, "Your dad was going to start an energy competition that would leave all competitors in the dust. He figured out a super-energy, and the nuclear reactor was like a three-A battery compared to it. ”

"Is it just him, Anton Vanke has also participated, right?" Tony, who has carefully read the news materials of the year, has a certain understanding of the existence of Anton Vanke, who has inexplicably become a defected spy who was his father's partner, and there are some inexplicable things in it.

Knowing what Tony was thinking, Fury shook his head and said, "Anton Vanke is like the other side of the copper plate, that is the way to make a fortune, and your father will expel him when he finds out." When the Russians found him useless, they exiled him to Siberia, where he lived for 20 years in an alcoholic and cynical environment, which was not very good for the growth of children, and it was his son that I met in Monaco. ”

After a long silence, Tony asked, "You told me that I didn't completely try all the elements, what do you mean by that, I haven't been to anything, is there anything I've missed?" ”

Fury took a sip of coffee in his cup and said with a little reminiscence: "He said that only you have enough resources and wisdom to complete the plan he started." ”

"Is that what he said?" Hearing his father say this, Tony's face couldn't help but show that look like a child after being praised, a little proud, a little proud.

"Are you who he said he was?" Fury looked at Tony and said solemnly, "If it were you, you would be able to solve the mystery of your heart." ”

"I know where you know about it, but he doesn't really like me." Tony shook his head slightly, his smile bitter.

"How much do you remember about Howard, your dad?"

"He's cold, he's scheming, he's never said he loves me, he's never even said he likes me." Speaking of Howard Stark, Tony couldn't help but question: "I can't believe it, he said I can change the future, and he passed on this responsibility to me, I don't believe it." You know, his happiest day was sending me to boarding school. ”

"That's not true." Looking at Tony, who gushed at the mention of his father, Fury shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

"Then obviously, you know my dad better than I do." Tony glanced at Fury, and he didn't pay attention to what he said.

Glancing at the watch on his wrist, Fury couldn't help but speak: "In fact, it is true, he is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

"What?" Tony looked at Nick Fury in disbelief, he never knew that his father was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D.

At this time, Coulson and Natasha walked in with two black agents, carrying a box, and Fury stood up and said, "I still have an appointment at two o'clock, you can untie this, right?" ”

"What is this, I don't even know what I'm trying to unravel, what should I do?" Tony looked at Fury as he was leaving.

Fury put on his black trench coat and said to himself, "Natasha will remain undercover at Stark Industries, and, remember, Agent Coulson, he will take care of you." And, Tony, remember, I'll keep an eye on you. ”

Watching Fury leave, Tony didn't know what to say for a moment.

"We've cut everything out of this section, we can't contact the outside world, good luck!" Natasha didn't stay long either, and turned around and left directly after speaking.

Tony looked at Natasha's back and smiled bitterly in disbelief, he turned around, looked at Coulson, and said, "You're not going to leave right away, are you?" ”

Seeing Coulson shake his head, Tony said, "Okay, first of all, I need to do physical training, and I'll work in the lab for a while." It would be nice if you could send your men to Starbucks and buy me some food and drinks. ”

"Listen, Tony." Coulson looked at Stark, chuckled and said, "What you said is not my duty, Director Fury has authorized it, I can use any means to keep you here." If you want to leave, or if you're playing some trick, I'll stun you with a stun baton and watch TV while watching you drool on the ground, okay? ”

"I think I get it." People are under the roof, and they have to bow their heads, facing such a behemoth as S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony still understands this truth.

"Enjoy your entertainment tonight." With that, Coulson turned and left the living room, leaving Tony alone and the box standing in the cold wind.
