Chapter 57: Iron Man is born
Seeing that the little spider left in a trance, Jing shook his head helplessly, these things, it is really hard to imagine for the little spider who is still very naΓ―ve, but people always have to grow up, and growth is always accompanied by pain, after experiencing these darkness, presumably the little spider will break out of the cocoon into a butterfly and become a real hero.
"What happened before Stark Industries has been officially announced and delivered to you. According to the investigation, the fire and the sound of the explosion were caused by a short circuit in the line. Fortunately, one of Mr. Tony Stark's bodyguards put it on in time. Tony's friend, Colonel Roddy, the military liaison, wipes Tony's ass against the events caused by the battle between Tony and Obadestan while Pepper puts Tony in makeup.
Tony held the newspaper and looked at the big letters on it very proudly, "Iron Man, quite a pleasant name." But it's still not accurate, this thing is made of gold and titanium alloy. But it's quite expressive to shout as a slogan, hiss, Pepper, you tap. β
When Pepper was covering up Tony's wound and applying makeup, he accidentally touched Tony's injury, and when he heard Tony complain like this, Pepper couldn't help but glare at him, "Now you know it hurts?" Why didn't you pay attention before? If it's not your friend, the magician. β
"Ahem." Tony suddenly covered his mouth and coughed twice, and Pepper immediately fell silent.
"Mr. Stark." The warm-faced man walked in with a smile, it was Agent Coulson, "Your lines are here." Coulson reached out and handed Stark a small note, which he didn't seem to hear at all.
"Okay." Tony took the note.
Once again, Coulson reminded Tony, "You were on a yacht at the time. β
"Yes, that's right." Coulson smiled and nodded, "Miss Pepper took you to the small island of Avalon, and spent the night there. We have the testimonies of fifty other people on the matter. β
Tony pouted, "I think it's better to just have the two of us, alone." β
Tony looked up at Pepper, who smiled slightly, but didn't say anything, and continued to pick up other things to put on his makeup, in order to cover up the wounds on his head and face.
Coulson still smiled, "That's the way it is, Mr. Stark. β
Tony couldn't do much about such a guy, he began to look down at the small note, and said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay." β
"You just have to read it word by word." Coulson told Tony again.
Tony, however, noticed something was wrong, and he couldn't help but ask Coulson, "Why didn't this mention Obadezan in this?" β
"We took care of it and he went on vacation. However, the accident rate of small planes has always been quite high, which is unfortunate. Coulson feigned a sad look.
The corners of Tony's mouth twitched, and Pepper had just touched his wound again, "Don't you think this thing is a bit too much like a movie script?" One of my bodyguards got a robot? β
"Mr. Stark, that's not my priority. Just follow the statement, and the matter will settle like this. β
Pepper clapped her hands, put away her gear, and finally put on Tony's face with makeup, and now there is no wound to be seen, and it will also look blue and swollen, so she can go to the press conference.
"Play in a minute and a half."
"Agent Coulson, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Coulson couldn't help but smile, he always looked like this, but it felt very comfortable, not perfunctory, "It's just my job, I'll contact you later." β
"Well, it's called the territorial strategy." Pepper didn't remember it too much, the name was just too tongue-twisting.
Of course, Coulson also understands that that the name has been complained about by too many people, but fortunately it has finally been changed now, "Just call us S.H.I.E.L.D." β
Pepper smiled and nodded, "Okay." β
Agent Coulson left, and Pepper picked up Tony's suit, "Let's go on stage." β
Tony was still looking at the newspaper and his little note, "Actually, I think the title of Iron Man is really good." I didn't even come up with this idea. β
"But you're not Iron Man."
"No, I am."
"You're not."
"Well, whatever you want. But Pepper, you have to know that if I were Iron Man, my girlfriend who knew my identity would be happy and worried. But this kind of psychological struggle only made her love me more. You haven't forgotten that night, have you? Tony began to look directly at his secretary, Pepper Pepp.
Pepper was playing dumb, "Which night?" β
"That's it."
"You mean we danced and ran to the roof, and you said you got me a drink, and I waited all night?"
This was a bit embarrassing, Tony could only keep his mouth shut, that night, he knew that his weapon was still sold to terrorists without his signature, so as soon as he was excited, he ran straight home to study the steel armor, and then went to the terrorists for revenge, and ended up hanging Pepper that night.
"I'm guessing you're talking about that night. So, is there anything else? β
"It's gone, it's gone." Tony Stark, Iron Man, runs away.
"There's a suspicion that I was involved in the mess before, you know, on the highway, on the rooftops, and...
"Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Stark, but do you really think we're going to buy your account?" A blonde beauty interrupted Stark's words, and Stark glanced at it and realized that it was an acquaintance of his, well, it was an acquaintance, after all, they had been through it before, what was it called, it was Daisy? Or is Lucy coming?
"One of your bodyguards has magically appeared, and he's wearing a suit of steel armor, and you're still there"
"I know that sounds like a mystery," Stark interrupted, he already knew that this chick wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp, but he couldn't let her do bad things at this time, "Of course you can question the official statement, but don't accuse me of being a superhero." β
"But I didn't say you're a superhero."
"Didn't you? Well, that does sound too sci-fi. Tony took a breath, "I'm not meant to be a hero. β
It was neither Daisy nor Lucy, but the blonde beauty named Christine who seemed to have discovered something, and the famous Mr. Stark seemed to be a little nervous right now.
"I've made so much trouble for everyone, and I have so many personality flaws." Tony didn't know what he was talking about or what he wanted to say.
Colonel Roddy, who had been standing next to him, couldn't help but remind him in a low voice, "Read according to the script." β
"Uh, okay."
Tony held up his manuscript, "So, the reality is. β
Tony was silent for three seconds, he never felt that time would be as slow as it was now, and slowly put down his manuscript, he looked directly at the reporters and cameras in the audience, "I'm Iron Man." β
