242. A big event that came ahead of schedule
While Prince Asgard is hatching a grand plan to conquer the Nine Star Fields, all the superheroes of New York gather at Tony Stark's seaside mansion for a lively party.
"Wow, this is a gathering of superheroes, famous New York geniuses, do you have any natural abilities worthy of admiration?"
When Sean stepped into the door of Stark's mansion with Gwen in his arms, Tony, wearing the latest model of Mark armor, immediately ran over and shouted in a deliberately loud voice.
The young man was not annoyed by Tony's childish way of joking, and smiled slightly: "Rich, handsome, attractive to the opposite sex...... Of course, there's one that Mr. Stark doesn't have, and I'm young enough. ”
"Well, these days, mature men like me who are personable and dignified are all included in the ranks of the elderly?" Iron Man, dressed in cool armor, shrugged his shoulders and praised himself without hesitation.
Passing Tony standing at the door, Sean saw the long-lost Fantastic Four, Johnny Thunderbolt, who had just gotten up from the hospital bed, looked lively and energetic, and was holding a telescope to spy on the swimsuit model in the distance, while Stone Man Ben was sitting on the side, with his blind girlfriend warmly sprinkling dog food, Susan and Pepper were exchanging secret topics between women, but Mr. Fantastic Reed was missing.
The Fantastic Four are all here, Spider-Man Peter Parker has not yet revealed his identity, and the street heroes in Hell's Kitchen have no official identities, so that the superheroes in New York are almost all here.
The young man patted Gwen on the arm, and the dressed blonde girl walked away playfully, leaving space for Tony and Sean, who were not tsundere princesses who loved to make small personalities, except for the occasional coquettish life, she was almost obedient and gentle.
"Tsk." Tony's mouth slammed a few times, and he teased: "A young lady of the general's family, the daughter of a police chief, it's not a good thing to be too indulgent at a young age." ”
"Is this a warning from my seniors?"
Sean didn't hesitate to tease that Tony Stark was the number one playboy in New York in the past, and there was enough tidbits about his bohemian lace to fill an entire room.
Tony coughed deliberately, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Pepper sitting on the sofa in the living room, although he did not have any immunity to beautiful women, but he had already made a solemn farewell to the indulgent life of drinking and drinking in the past.
Not long ago, the Clarion Daily published an entertainment news that claimed that Tony Stark had not been found in major nightclubs in New York for three months, which was hard to believe, and it was estimated that half of the paparazzi would lose their jobs because of this.
"Why do you suddenly want to have a superhero party?" Sean leaned against the bar on the side of the living room and skilfully pulled out a bottle of Scotch whisky from the wine cabinet, "Would you like a drink?" ”
"On the rocks...... Why are you so familiar with my home? Tony asked depressedly, this guy was like he was in his own home, not polite at all.
"It's not my first time." Sean replied casually, pouring out the clear liquor and handing the whiskey on the rocks.
Tony shook the wine glass, the ice hit the wall of the glass with a crisp sound, the cynical face faded into a flirtatious smile, the most famous prodigal in New York, has indeed undergone a complete change, although the temperament engraved in the bones of pride and narcissism is impossible to erase, but the frivolity of the past gradually faded away.
"It's nothing, I'm just looking for some friends and having a lively party...... You know, I don't have many friends. Drinking the cold whiskey in one gulp, Tony rarely showed a serious expression, "Do you know the big green guy who attacked New York last time?" I almost thought I was really going to die. ”
"I've always believed that Iron Man can defend New York and protect the world...... But for the first time, I felt like there was something I couldn't do on my own, you know that feeling? ”
"It's about the same as when I was 16 years old, full of confidence and wanted to be the prettiest girl in school, but then I saw her get into a rich man's luxury car." The corners of Sean's mouth curled up a little, and he said deliberately jokingly.
In the Hulk World War, almost all the superheroes in New York fell, which obviously stimulated the arrogant Iron Man, Tony was far from being a superhero who hunted down arms smugglers and fought transnational terrorists, and the reason why he was willing to join Nick Fury's Avengers program was because this former playboy firmly believed that he could use a steel armor to protect the absolute safety of the planet.
It's a pity that the appearance of Hulk shattered Tony's beautiful ideas, and he began to realize that if he wanted to protect New York and the world, it seemed that Iron Man was not enough.
"Your analogy is interesting." Stark laughed a few times, asked for another whiskey, and said, "When I faced that green beast, I almost had to call Pepper to say his last words." ”
"Looks like you're devastated." Sean poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down.
He had a vague premonition that some kind of drastic change seemed to have taken place in Tony, and the original trajectory of the timeline gradually shifted as his butterfly wings flapped.
This unknown change is not good or bad, Sean has passed the most difficult primitive stage, he no longer needs to rely on the advantage of foreknowledge to seize the opportunity, and now the Sentinel has enough ability to face any major crisis that is about to arise or occur.
"Nick Fury...... Yes, the bastard who almost got you up and put you in jail, this person may not be trustworthy, but one thing he said is right, this is no longer the era of going it alone, even superheroes need to be strong and interdependent. ”
Tony's eyes swelled with blazing emotion, and he patted the energy reactor that lit up in his chest, as if recalling the scene when he narrowly escaped from a cave on the front line in Afghanistan and saw the first rays of sunlight, where Iron Man was first born.
Pepper often told him that he had left his soul in that damp and cold cave, and that Tony Stark was just a shell when he returned to New York, and that he could only feel safe hiding in that steel armor.
"So you're looking for so many superheroes to pull the Fantastic Four into the Avengers?"
Sean's eyes flickered, and after careful calculation, the Avengers were almost all assembled, Bruce Banner was in S.H.I.E.L.D., Iron Man, Captain America, Hawkeye Patton, and the Black Widow who played the glamorous female neighbor, only one Thor, from Asgard.
Thinking of another prince of Asgard, at this time should also have embarked on a long journey to find foreign aid, maybe the cosmic overlord's covetous eyes have already cast on this blue planet, and the alien army is coming.
The young man was not afraid in his heart, but faintly excited, the overlord of the universe who was committed to maintaining the balance of the universe and destroying the number of living beings was the biggest obstacle in his way.
Maybe the other party has an invincible reputation, but Sean will not run away, because only by knowing the real gap between the two sides can he catch up and surpass it!
"No, actually, I just wanted to invite Dr. Richards alone in the first place." Tony said drunkly, his alcohol-stimulated skin flushed slightly, "I've thought about it for a long time, the Avengers may have enemies that they can't resist, but 'Ultron' doesn't. ”
