When Grant returned to base, he saw Skye and Simmons having fun.
"You girls are really unexpected sometimes." He looked at the two of them, his face was a little curious, "I was a stranger who couldn't be strangers before, but now I'm a good girlfriend?" โ
In this regard, compared to Skye, who seemed a little hesitant, Simmons had this to say: "So don't try to guess what a girl will do, even if it's a former agent like you." โ
After making such a joke, Simmons spoke again. But this time it's more serious: "Okay, I'll go and see how Mr. Stark is doing." Grant, I'll come to me later, and I'll talk to you about Mr. Stark. โ
"Okay."
Grant glanced at Skye, then nodded. Then, with Simmons leaving, Grant also came to Skye: "Skye, do you have anything to say to me?" โ
Skye was stunned for a moment: "Is it so obvious?" โ
"You're the most secretive person I've ever known, except for Fitz. But that's okay, I'll teach you how to control your emotions. Just now...... Let's talk about what's bothering you first. โ
It could be seen that Skye was still hesitating. But the next moment, she raised her head: "Why do you want me to stay?" I can watch you out there at the gym. Now there are only four people left in this place. Except for the lying one, you and Simmons have their own tasks. It's just me just watching. โ
"Of course it's because I want you to stay with me."
Grant said this with a smile, and Skye didn't respond, still just looking at him.
"Uh, yes, training! Don't you want to get better, today's daily training is done. Well, it's time to learn something new. How about I teach you how to use a gun? โ
After all that, Skye still looked at him unrelentingly.
"Well, it looks like I can only tell the truth. Your hacking skills are exactly what I need. If someone finds out here, I need you to interfere with them and slow them down. Give us time. Other than this time, you are still very important to me. For example, if I am exposed one day, I will need you to help me clean up the mess. โ
In Grant's mind, this was the most secondary reason, but it was accepted by Skye.
"Thank you." The girl, who still has a little inferiority complex in her bones, said with a smile, "I used to be looking for the people I needed - my parents. Now I want to be the person that others need. Grant, thank you for everything you've done for me, it's very important to me. โ
"Skye, you're thinking too much......"
Originally, Grant wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to go on here, so he could only change the topic: "By the way, about your parents, I have entrusted the person who is most likely to find the blackened documents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to check, and it is estimated that there will be news soon." โ
Skye just nodded, "You go find Simmons first." She seems to have something important to tell you. โ
Skye wasn't as excited as Grant had imagined. However, he didn't ask, but asked Skye to follow: "You can come too." I guess you'll need to show off your skills later. โ
Twenty minutes later, Skye said "Okay" in a sweaty sweat after a busy day, and then James Roddy and Pepper Potts appeared on two large screens on the wall. And here, Grant, Skye, Simmons, and Stark, who was lying unconscious in bed, everyone in the icefield base was in this room.
"That's right, Pepper, Roddy, and I'll let Simmons tell you about Stark. Hmm, you're ready, right? โ
Roddy responded dryly: "I'm the only one on my side." โ
Pepper was a little scrambled by comparison. She first stood up and shouted "Natalie, help me get this document for verification." Also, cancel all the rest of the day" and handed a document to a bewitching figure who came next to her and couldn't see his face. After the figure vanished, Pepper officially spoke to the camera on her side again.
"I'm sorry. I almost forgot that I didn't let anyone else know. I'm going to get dizzy after being so busy these days...... Okay now, I'm the only one here. โ
"Natalie?"
Grant suddenly said the name that Pepper had just called, and his tone sounded a little strange. It's just that Pepper thought he was suspicious of the man, and didn't think much about it at all: "That's Natalie, an employee of our company." If it weren't for her help these days, I guess I would have collapsed a long time ago. Don't worry, she's very shrewd and capable, and she won't ask about things she shouldn't know. And she didn't see the video call on my side just now, so there must be no problem. โ
In fact, Grant just subconsciously said it. He wondered why Natasha was still in Stark Industries. But now that I think about it, it is estimated that Akari continues to investigate and deal with those people on the council, but secretly protects Pepper.
"Alright, Simmons, tell me about the situation."
So, in front of everyone's eyes, Simmons stood up: "Okay, then I'll start." Mr. Stark's situation is like this......"
During the Monaco incident that day, the armor-piercing grenade pierced Tony Stark's cervical vertebrae. However, the Mark V, which was not very strong in defense, still played a role at this critical time, the grenade did not completely penetrate it, and Stark was only pressed to the nerve in the cervical spine. While the vast majority of doctors in the outside world, including those in Stark Industries' hospital, aren't optimistic about the injury, Simmons' methods from S.H.I.E.L.D. are only a little more complicated. The real tricky problem isn't on that.
"I don't know exactly what the reactor on Mr. Stark's chest is, but I'm sure it contains a certain amount of palladium. Now, palladium is all over his liver, kidneys, spleen, adrenal glands, lungs, bones and other locations, which has seriously threatened his health. โ
"What!" Simmons' words horrified Pepper, "You're saying Tony was seriously ill before he was hit?" โ
"I think it's better to say 'dying.'"
Not caring about Pepper's expression on the screen at all, Simmons spoke very bluntly. When it comes to professional issues, she can't stop: "If you change to someone else, just stay away from palladium." But I've checked, and Mr. Stark already has some metal fragments in his body that threaten his vital organs at all times, and if it weren't for the thing in his chest, he would have been dead long ago. And that thing was the culprit of his palladium poisoning. That is, the thing that has been prolonging his life, is killing him in another way. โ
As soon as Simmons finished speaking, Pepper and Roddy looked at Grant. To put it mildly, the expressions of these two people look quite interesting when they look together. One is not to believe it, and the other is to dare not believe it. The former, in particular, almost said "tell me she's wrong" and "tell me she's lying".
"I'm not a professional, but I trust Simmons' judgment." In this case, Grant could only bite the bullet and speak, "And all the inspections and tests are done by her alone, and there will be nothing wrong with it halfway." โ
Grant's voice fell, and for a moment, the only sound of machines running in the room remained.
Compared to Pepper, whose eye sockets were already completely red, Roddy's two eyebrows were almost together, but he still acted calm: "Okay, Ms. Simmons. Do you have any solution? โ
Hearing this, Simmons first glanced at Grant, and then spoke to Roddy and Pepper: "That's why I asked Grant to bring you here." โ
Seeing Simmons like this, Pepper and Roddy both chuckled in their hearts - it seems that the situation is very serious. (ps: Recommend the book that friends do their best [bookid=3463023,bookname="Super God Awakener"], which has my widow. Sister woman! ๏ผ
