Chapter 18: Tony Returns
Mercer came into the world to "sleep" for the first time, or let himself stop mimicking that state of sleep.
Looking at the sunlight pouring in from the open bathroom door, Mercer woke himself up, the black light virus mimicking a feeling of refreshment, but Mercer felt the icy water under his feet and smiled bitterly.
A normal person who sleeps in ice water for a night must be uncomfortable, right?
Instead of letting the black light virus form into clothes, Mercer took out a clean sweatshirt and pants from his closet, and Mercer sat on the couch and turned on the TV, watching the morning news program.
“…… The outbreak of the unknown virus in Manhattan is estimated to have caused more than 12,760 casualties and economic losses of more than $100 billion, and Penn Station ......"
Mercer changed the channel and shook his head, after all, this is all Black Watch, or the sin created by Hydra, is he an accomplice? Thinking about the little girl who said she was Superman, Mercer felt a little better, which can be regarded as self-comfort.
Mercer turned off the TV and planned to go out, he had to do a lot of things today, such as driver's license, bank card, phone card, mobile phone and other necessary things.
Mercer searched for a long time, but did not find anything else that could effectively prove his identity, and now fell into a dead circle, Mercer is not a person who is good at taking care of the trivial things of life.
You need a valid document to go to the bank to reapply for a bank card, and you need money to reissue a valid document, and you can't have money without a bank card.
Of course, Mercer can contact Coulson, but he doesn't have a mobile phone now, he needs money to buy a mobile phone, he needs a bank card to use the money, he needs a valid document for a bank card, and he needs money to reissue a valid document......
"Let's watch TV, fortunately I don't need to eat now......"
Mercer sat back on the couch bored, and then watched the TV series that was out of tune.
Finally, just as the sun was about to rise in the middle of the day, a knock at the door rescued Mercer, who had the intention of going out to rob him.
"Alex, good afternoon!"
Seeing that it was Coulson, Mercer excitedly pulled the other party in, which was definitely a savior.
"Good afternoon, I've been waiting for you for a long time," Mercer said, leading Coulson to his seat.
"Wait for me?"
"Well, I've basically lost all my things, and the Black Watch gang don't know how to take my box back, and they even took my wallet and documents. I can't do anything right now. ”
"Haha, then you're really waiting right, I'll take you to get your driver's license and everything reissued now."
Coulson also smiled, he didn't expect that Mercer, who could fight each other with Hulk, would be trapped at home, and his heart was also steady, at least when facing obstacles, Mercer would not blindly choose to solve it violently.
Sitting in Coulson's car, well, a red roadster, the style is very retro, and Mercer looks at it with a sense of novelty.
"It's one of my favorite collectibles, it has a lot of special features, and by the way, he's called Laura," Coulson told Mercer as he sat in the car.
"Hello, Laura," Mercer said to the car under his seat, amused at the girl's name for his car.
Asking Coulson to help with the replacement of the documents is definitely overkill, but it is indeed faster than Mercer himself to do it, I don't know how much.
Before five o'clock in the afternoon, Mercer got his freshly baked driver's license and passport, as well as his own bank card, mobile phone and mobile phone cards.
Mercer has nearly two million dollars in savings, not counting the property in the bustling area of Manhattan and the two cars that haven't been talked about, which is considered a standard upper middle class.
For Alex Mercer, who was born at the bottom of society, being able to work hard for such a family business when he was less than thirty years old, it can be seen that Gentek's treatment is still quite good.
"Coulson, I'll treat you to dinner," Mercer said, whatever Coulson's idea was, but it did him a great favor.
"Okay, let's have a meal together, and then let's go to the airport to pick up Mr. Stark and your sister."
Mercer was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are they back?" ”
"Well, Stark Industries has hired its own security personnel to inspect the vicinity of the Stark building, because it is on the edge, there is no serious damage, and the virus has completely dissipated."
The process of dining was very pleasant, it was a Chinese restaurant that Mercer found in his memory, and it belonged to the more authentic kind.
"The taste is really good, and the distance is not far, so you can come and eat it often in the future."
"Well, I didn't expect it to be so delicious," Mercer replied, though the ingredients were a little adjusted, but it had a different taste.
"Coulson, is Melinda still on a mission?"
"Well, it's complicated, and it will take a few months to come back. Did you miss her? ”
Coulson looked at Mercer teasingly, and he realized that Mercer had a crush on Melinda.
"Sort of, she did me a great favor that day, and I always wonder when I can help her."
……
At half past seven in the afternoon, Tony's private jet was late.
"Brother!"
Dana had already learned that Mercer would be coming to the airport to pick them up, and ran down first. She thought that she had lived away from her brother for several years and was already very independent.
Unexpectedly, after such a terrible thing happened, she realized that no matter how independent she was, Mercer was always his brother.
"Dana ......"
Mercer found herself always looking a little embarrassed, or nervous, when faced with this cheap sister.
Dana didn't care about Mercer's attitude, she looked at Mercer nervously, and saw that he didn't even have a scar on his body to settle down, and when she saw Coulson, her expression became nervous again. A department of power like S.H.I.E.L.D. is always uncomfortable.
"Dana, I'm now joining S.H.I.E.L.D., and I'm their advisor, so don't worry", Mercer said, sensing Dana's concerns.
"Alex, long time no see, is my building okay?"
Tony and Pepper then get off the plane, and Tony gives Mercer a hug.
"Your building survived the disaster, it should still work," Mercer joked.
Tony and Mercer made a few jokes, and said, "It's all settled?" ”
"No, it's just the end of it, the culprit has run away," Mercer said, his face not bad, "but it should be peaceful for a while." ”
The group returned to the Stark building directly from the airport, Dana and Mercer sat in Coulson's car, Tony and the others sat in a special Cadillac, looking at the still desolate infected area, everyone's faces were not good-looking.
The underside of the Stark building has begun to be renovated, and the top is still intact. A few people sat in a small bar on the top floor chatting and drinking.
Alcohol is not much different from white water for Mercer, that is, it contains more energy, but it is the best German dark beer that makes Mercer feast.
Tony held a glass of top-notch wine with ice cubes and said, "Alex, it looks like you've joined S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”
"Well, it's just a biodefense consultant, an idle one. By the way, Coulson, do I get paid? ”
"Yes, I guess it's about the same as me. Your job application is still approved, and the documents will be sent to you after a while, do you have any other plans? Coulson said.
"No, maybe take a break for a while, although I can't feel it physically, but I'm really tired mentally."
"Brother, why don't you come to Stark Industries too?"
Dana was chatting with Pepper on the side, and suddenly interjected, while still looking at Tony, after all, this requires the chairman to nod and agree.
"Alex, although our Stark Industries is mainly oriented to energy and military industry, we will definitely have a place in your ability."
Stark Industries was founded by Howard Stark, Tony Stark's father, who died young. Taking advantage of World War II, Stark Industries, which was engaged in the development and manufacture of weapons, made a fortune.
Tony is also a super genius, using the foundation of Stark Industries to establish such a military industrial group with a market value of 100 billion. The development of capital has never been peaceful, and the father and son generations have also merged other companies, among which there are naturally companies in the biomedical field.
"I'll think about it, I'll have to adjust for a while anyway, after all, it's ......," Mercer said half-truthfully, knowing that Stark Industries had a future, but he really didn't want to send someone to the fence.
crossed over, and became a rare top-level combat force on this planet, and he had to work as a wage earner for others, do you really think he is the best character of Captain America?
"Brother, didn't you want to be a doctor when you were a child? I think no matter which hospital you want to go to, you're going to be a really good doctor. ”
Dana said that this girl who grew up on her brother as a child is definitely a brother control.
"Doctor? I think about it, but it's always weird to think about a combination of viruses and treating someone else," Mercer said, recalling a lot of medicine, not to mention being a doctor, even opening a hospital.
Mercer thought of the doctor, and suddenly remembered a doctor named Raglen, who wanted to speak but didn't say anything.
"Alex, thank you so much this time, if it weren't for your reminder, Stark Industries would have suffered a lot of damage", it was Pepper who spoke, looking at his best friend's brother and thinking that this was really a magical person.
"Yes, Stark Industries has helped me a lot," Mercer said, "Tony, I have an idea for a single weapon, can you see if it's possible?" ”
