A week passed.

The United States has finally calmed down, although the country is still shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, with occasional people taking to the streets to lay flowers and candles for the innocent victims of bombing attacks, and television covering the sensational funeral, as if for a moment, everyone was immersed in grief.

But time will heal all the pain, the world does not exist for one person alone, people still have to live, whether it is good or bad.

Even if they lose a family member or a national leader, the trajectory of life does not stop because of anyone.

On this day, the sky was blue and cloudless, and the morning sun was shining on the body, making people feel warm. On Ambrera's lawn, Maya Hansen pushes Pepper in a wheelchair, and the two remarkable women chat with each other and seem to get along quite well.

"Ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend...... Why are you watching from the sidelines, hurry up and come over? ”

Sean walked to the transparent corridor, his hands on the railing, and a funny smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it was rare to see Tony Stark, who was a playboy, with a depressed expression.

"You did it on purpose, right? I had to get Maya and Pepper together! ”

Tony complained in his mouth, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed by Pepper in the past few days, and all the previous romantic histories have been revealed.

This makes the playboy who used to wander and love the field inevitably feel a little embarrassed, after all, not everyone is willing to examine their absurd past.

"The Desperation Virus is an invention of Ms. Maya Hansen, and it makes sense for me to give Pepper to her."

Sean shrugged his shoulders and said in an innocent tone, God knows if he was snickering in his heart, waiting to see a good show.

Tony was choked speechless, and turned his head in annoyance, all blamed for that bastard of Killian, who actually injected Pepper with the Desperate Virus, and if it wasn't for luck enough to withstand the painful process of genetic modification, the shrewd and capable Pepper would probably explode into a ball of fireworks.

To this day, he is a little afraid, there are too few people to cherish in this world, and if he loses Pepper who is by his side, Tony doesn't know how he should bear this pain.

A week has passed since the terrorist attacks of the Ten Rings and Mandarin, and Tony, who summoned the entire Iron Legion, and the desperate warriors of Killian fought a fierce battle on a freighter off the coast of California.

To be honest, this should be the most dangerous time in Iron Man's history, after the ultimate transformation, Killian has completely become a superhuman, and his entire physical fitness has been terrifyingly improved, even if it is a palm cannon at close range, it can be dodged.

And also has a strong recovery ability, as long as it is not a heart and brain injury, it can heal quickly, and the attached high temperature can make him spew flames, melt gold and iron, and dismantle several steel armors with his bare hands in a row, so that Tony has almost no ability to fight back.

"By the way, I'm sorry, I couldn't save the president." Sean's eyelids drooped and his tone darkened.

"It's not your fault, no one would have thought that those bastards would just blow up the plane."

Tony waved his hand, the Ten Rings blew up Air Force One, President Ellis and the members of the Secret Service were all killed, this incident was called the second "911" in the United States, the world shook, the whole country was saddened, just like the JFK assassination that year.

Vice President Underwood immediately took over the White House and reconstituted his cabinet to calm the turmoil in the country with a quick response and flexible means. Not long ago, he was at Arlington National Cemetery, and he delivered a eulogy with a sad face, claiming that this is a difficult test for the United States, that they will never give in to terrorists, and that every citizen of this country will bravely join hands to get out of this predicament.

This statement was unanimously recognized by the public, and many people believed that under the leadership of the new president, the United States was able to dispel the heavy haze of terrorist attacks and usher in the long-lost light.

Sure enough, the Ten Rings were soon smashed, Aldridge Killian, who was behind the scenes, died at the hands of Iron Man, and actor Trevor Strary, who played Mandarin, was arrested and imprisoned to accompany Tony's old friend Justin Hammer.

The culprits are punished, which allows the anger of the population to pour out, the original turbulent public opinion gradually subsides, and life is back on track, except for the new leader of the country, everything seems to have changed back to the way it was.

"The root of all the mistakes lies with me." Tony looked at the verdant lawn with a flash of regret on his face, "I created Killian, and he created the Ten Rings and Mandarin, the 1999 prank, that was probably one of the biggest mistakes I've made in my life. ”

These days, he has been reflecting on his past, and the bad character that he once saw no one in his eyes has indeed hurt many people. Pride and arrogance are the characteristics of the Stark family, but excessive vitriolism is a bad habit to break.

"Self-examining Tony Stark is really rare." Sean's relaxed laughter diluted the calm atmosphere.

It seems that this self-centered Iron Man is moving towards transformation and maturity, at least saying goodbye to the previous image of a prodigal.

"Killian said something very strange before he died, Lord Manchu would avenge him, and it was in Chinese. But in fact, this person does not exist, there is no Manchurian, and there is no Ten Commandments Gang. ”

Tony was a little puzzled, he had investigated all this, Killian had set up AIM since he graduated, committed to building a complete scientific think tank, he had long been invested by unknown mysterious organizations, and followed the clues to trace the past, all of which were overseas bag companies, and there was no real flow of funds at all.

The only thing worth noting is that Killian had been to China and was very fond of Oriental culture, but there was no more useful news about it.

"Do you think there are really adults in this world? The guy who played him was honestly in prison, and I heard that he had become a star. ”

Sean patted Tony on the shoulder and said with relief: "Find a better psychiatrist, your anxiety is very serious." ”

"Maybe you're right."

Stark nodded, he also thought that he was thinking too much, the nightmare was over, and the crisis was over.

Although Iron Man did not save the world in the end, Killian's plan to assassinate the president still succeeded, but at least eliminated the Ten Rings and allowed the murderers behind them to face the justice they deserved.

In a way, Tony did everything he could, and even in the midst of it, someone got hurt.

But as Sean said, they are not omniscient and all-powerful saviors, and they cannot play the role of God.

"Pepper said you took a Desperate Virus?" Sean asked casually. "Don't try something dangerous."

"I have my own ideas." Tony replied vaguely.

Killian's desperate virus has given him a lot of inspiration and inspiration, and the power of steel armor alone is not enough, he needs to become stronger.

At least hopefully, by the time the next crisis occurs, no one will be victimized.
