"This is the biggest crisis in Greater America since Pearl Harbor."

"That's what you said back in 2001."

"It's different! In 911 we were facing opponents who could be defeated, but now we are a big step behind in terms of equipment. ”

"So you think it's time to surrender."

"I think Stark should be found. That Vanke obviously had a personal grudge against him. His problems, he solved. ”

This is a small conference room in the Pentagon. This has been the case in the conference room since Roddy, who wore Mark IV, was whipped and bloodied half an hour earlier. Several people express their opinions, but they don't seem to be on the same channel, and they can't reach a consensus at all.

"That's not the point, the point is that our enemies have weapons that we can't deal with."

"No, that's the point! Whether it's tomorrow or in the long run, we need Stark. ”

"Then look for him!"

"How do you find it? When our men arrived at Stark Industries' headquarters, they were about to point their guns at Pepper Pots, but she insisted she didn't know. ”

"Where's James Roddy?"

"When he wakes up, you can ask him."

"Just let S.H.I.E.L.D. do it, they can't get out of this matter."

"I've already got people in touch, so let's talk about how to deploy tomorrow."

"What else, the other side is not only challenging Iron Man, but the whole of America. Even if we are doomed......"

Coming out of that room, even a guy like Fury who still didn't change his face was helpless. The guys in it are from the Cabinet, the Ministry of Defense, the Parliament, etc., and they are completely. There were a number of suggestions, but none of them were substantive. What conscripts Stark in the name of the state - why didn't they say it when Iron Man was okay?

There was a point where those people were right, whether they won or lost, they would have to face tomorrow. Fury can pack the ticket, even if Tony Stark does show up tomorrow, even if Vanke defeats Stark tomorrow, things won't end there. Maybe that's just the beginning of another nightmare.

Thinking of this, Fury was a little annoyed. Originally, he had a hole card, but now, this hole card can't be contacted. With what he knew about Grant, this guy definitely wouldn't be backing down or something, it seemed that something had happened. Because of this, his whole face was black when he walked into the Canadian Ice Field Base.

Thankfully, his face was already dark, which saved him a lot of trouble when facing Simmons and Fizz.

"Agent Simon, what's the latest situation?"

In the face of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s **OSS, Simmons had the necessary respect: "Director Fury, Mr. Stark insists on seeing Ms. Potts. We can't make a decision, but he's already sent a message to Ms. Potts through that smart program called 'Jarvis,' and now Ms. Potts is on her way. ”

Considering the likely secret situation, Fury's face darkened a little. But if you think about it, now that Tony Stark has woken up, secrecy is not too important. Besides, Pepperpotz has a black widow around him. What about women?

So, Fury nodded, and then spoke again: "How is Stark's health?" ”

"The nerve repair has been done perfectly, and the symptoms of palladium poisoning have been temporarily relieved." Simmons was quick to answer, "But sir, there's something I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Fury glanced at Simmons, "Say it." ”

Just as Simmons was about to speak, Fitz, who had been listening to her, shook his head at her. Still, she spoke, saying something else: "Sir, Mr. Stark's situation is not suitable for tomorrow's battle. Physically and mentally, he wasn't ready. ”

Fury did not respond directly to Simmons' words. He glanced at Simmons and Fitz and said, "Looks like you already know about Roddy. ”

"Yes, Skye told us. Is Lieutenant Colonel Roddy okay? Also, Mr. Stark asked to see the person in charge here......"

Hearing this, Fury interrupted Simmons, who was about to say something.

"I know what you're trying to ask. Grant Lee was dealing with something, and he would be back when it was time to come back. Also, tell Stark that I'll go back to him right away. Go ahead. ”

"Yes, sir."

Simmons, after getting Fury's answer, walked away very simply. Fury, on the other hand, looked at Fitz's face, "Agent Fitz, what about your progress?" ”

"Sir, the modification of Mark II has been completed. I also coated it with a layer of anti-electric and anti-magnetic material, which must be able to resist Vanke's electric whip to a certain extent. But I don't know what the specific effect is, after all, I haven't touched the real electric whip. ”

Fury lowered his head and stared at the other with that one-eye, "Agent Fitz, I'm talking about another aspect of progress. ”

Hearing this, Fitz's whole body was shocked. He looked around with a very weak heart before stammering and replying, "Sir, I, uh, I've mastered most of the mechanics of the Mark II. It's just that I haven't touched on the two most critical parts. ”

"One of those parts is definitely that reactor." Fury's eyebrows furrowed, "What about the other part?" ”

"The user interface of the Mark II and the intelligent mode. Without this and that reactor, even if I could replicate the Mark II, it would be just a weapon not much better than a bomber. ”

Fury subconsciously looked to the side. The much more formidable Mark II was sitting there, and Fury's focus was on the large hole in his chest. What used to be in it was what he wanted, and now he had to give it up.

Seeing Fury disappear outside the door, Fiz breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to collapse. Then, he took out Mark II's Ark reactor from his pocket and hid it well.

At the same time, Tony Stark, who had just woken up, met again with Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. bureau.

"It's you again." Tony Stark still looked angry, "Why don't I think it's strange at all!" ”

Fury didn't care about this, but asked directly, "How do you feel?" ”

"It's not pretty." To make it more comfortable, Stark shifted his body. As a result, he accidentally pulled the surgical wound on the back of his neck, and he almost screamed in pain: "Especially when you have just walked out of death and enter the countdown to the next death." ”

"It's not time to despair yet. Howard Stark's son shouldn't have given up now. ”

Fury's words made Stark feel a little baffled: "You don't know anything! It took me more than half a year and tried all the possibilities, but they all failed. It's true that despair isn't my style, but ...... Yes, there's nothing I can do anymore. ”

Looking at Stark's appearance, it is easy to feel embarrassed. Fury wasn't one of them, though.

"I still know something. You say you've tried all possibilities, but that's not what your father said. Although this is his invention, he firmly believes that the thing that hangs on your life and kills you 'gently' is only a half-finished product. With a vision of excellence, he believed that the real finished product was far beyond the existence of a nuclear reactor. He also said that you are the only one who has the ability and resources to complete this great project. But now I don't dare say that your father will be disappointed, but you clearly did not live up to his expectations. ”

"Are you sure you're talking to the same Howard Stark as me?" Stark was a little stunned, "What do you know?" How can you think that a guy who has never cared about his own son would say that his son can change the future and so on, and pass on this important responsibility to his own son? Well, I see, maybe something has gone wrong with your mind recently and something has happened lately. ”

"Again, I still know something." Fury wasn't angry at Stark's snatching, and now he's as patient as a kindergarten teacher, "I know you have a big misunderstanding of him because he actually values you a lot, but he doesn't show it too much." And I know this because your father was one of us. He is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. Also, he left you something. ”

With that, Fury kicked his feet, where he had brought a box. It reads "Howard Stark Belongings".

"I'm guessing you've learned through Jarvis about Vanke's challenge to you. I'm not here to take you into tomorrow's battle, you can rest assured. I came because I wanted to help. Some people only see tomorrow's crisis, and I think we should look a little further ahead, like your father. Speaking of which, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., disguised as a kindergarten teacher, paused, "You need to open this box and find the true legacy that your father left you." If that doesn't work, you can also undergo surgery to remove shrapnel from your body. We need you back to your post. Of course, you can sit and do nothing and just wait to die. It's your freedom. But then we know at least one thing - that's all Howard Stark's son. ”

I don't know if Fury's words were too heavy, or Stark was too touched, so neither of them spoke, and the temporary ward fell into depression and silence during this time. Fortunately, the presence of someone broke the deadlock.

"You're awake, Tony!"

Pepper Potz pushed open the door and saw Tony Stark, who was thinking about something with his eyes open, and he was so excited that he burst into tears. She threw herself right at Stark. Outcome......

"Shhh Pepper, tap, tap! Stark shifted his position, "It doesn't seem like my style, but you do hurt me." ”

Hearing him say this, Pepper immediately bounced off him, "I, I'm sorry, Tony. Are you okay? Surely you're fine, right? Are you alright......"

Every time Pepper asked, Stark answered. Although it is a repetition of meaning, the two enjoy each other. Seeing this situation, even the black-faced king Fury couldn't help but feel a little black-bellied.

"Ahem, Stark." He suddenly spoke, coughing twice and causing no less than a hundred watt light bulbs to the two people on the other side of the hospital bed, "Remember to open this box, I watched and waited." ”

Staring at Stark with that one-eye, Fury turned away. However, the blackface king did not take away the awkward atmosphere in the ward.

In order to break the embarrassment, Stark asked casually, "Pepper, why did you arrive so quickly?" I remember Jarvis telling me it was the heartland of Canada. ”

"It's Canada, yes, but ......," Pepper suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect Natalie to fly a fighter!" I don't know what she wouldn't. God, I can't imagine it if it weren't for her help during this time......"
