Chapter 166: Choice
This is the end of the recent 'Manchurian incident' that has caused panic in the entire United States, and all departments, including S.H.I.E.L.D., arrived at the scene early in the morning of the second day of the dock battle, although they were somewhat aware of it.
Neither the Umbrella nor Tony Stark eliminated nearby surveillance, but the Umbrella was so mysterious that the various bureaus of investigation had to find Tony Stark.
Tony Stark, who was lying in a private hospital, was still miserable after the night, much to the surprise of those who came to him.
Tony Stark decided to hide the umbrella organization for Jing Tian last night, but he has already regretted it a little after a night, but Pepppots' problem has not been solved, and Tony Stark can only be patient for the time being, planning to wait until the matter of Pep is solved, and then find an opportunity to shake out that organization and find some trouble for Jing Tian......
As a result, Tony Stark, who faced the investigation, concealed most of what had happened, only handing over information about the manor in Miami, and saying that he was ignorant of any information about the umbrella that the agents asked him for......
Tony Stark is notoriously difficult, and the various departments know his character, so they continue to ask a few additional questions and then call the team away.
On the same day, the actor who played the role of 'Man-sama' was arrested and put on public trial, AIM was shut down, and a group of researchers were recruited by various departments.
However, no one has access to the information on the 'Desperate Virus', because the main part of that information is related to the Maya. Hansen's death disappeared, and some other unimportant materials were also packed and destroyed by the little agents under the umbrella, and the forces of all parties were completely in vain.
A week later, Tony Stark's injuries had largely healed, and on the day he was discharged from the hospital, he received a phone call from an unknown source.
"Seven p.m., High Line Art Gallery section, bring Pepppots."
"Hello? Hey......" Tony Stark frowned and turned off his phone. I hesitated.
"Tony?" Pepppots, who was next to him, didn't hear the call, but he could tell from Tony Stark's expression that her boyfriend was in trouble.
"It's okay...... Tony Stark squeezed out a smile, "Pep, I need to give you some minor surgery, like me, the kind that can control the suit." ”
Tony Stark couldn't solve Pepppots' internal problems without relevant information, so although he was very uneasy, he had to let Peppotz contact the Umbrella Organization.
However, Tony Stark had to prepare some precautions, so he planned to have Pepppotz also inject a nerve control unit under his skin, which could remotely manipulate the steel suit like he did.
Peppots knew it wasn't that simple, but he was obedient. In order not to cause a greater drag on Tony Stark.
An afternoon was enough time for Tony Stark to inject a control unit under Peppots' skin, and the two drove to the agreed location in the evening, while several steel suits were on guard in and around the air.
Just after seven o'clock, Peppotz let out a soft 'ah' and raised his hand to touch the back of his neck, but his hand was halfway up when his eyes softened into Tony Stark's arms.
Tony Stark's eyes widened with rage, but the sight of the anesthetic needle on the back of his girlfriend's neck suppressed his anger.
Four mosaic-like ripples appeared in the air, and the four middle-aged agents under the umbrella canceled the electronic camouflage system of the combat suit and slowly walked over from both directions.
"I need an explanation!" Tony Stark's consciousness moved, and he controlled the five suits to fly quickly. He looked at the four agents with great vigilance.
"It's not good for her to know too much." One agent spoke, unoblivious to the few steel suits around him.
"What are you going to do?" Tony Stark asked with an unkind face as he pulled the anesthetic needle from the back of Pepppots' neck and threw it on the ground.
"What are you going to do?" The middle-aged agent asked rhetorically: "Eliminate the 'desperate virus' in her body, or keep it and replenish it completely." ”
"Are there any after-effects if you add it completely? Does it affect any human body functions? "Tony Stark is slightly flute. Then he asked, thoughtfully.
"The subject has no sequelae, but there are no reports of offspring." The middle-aged agent replied, then urged, "We don't have much time, so you'd better make a decision as soon as possible." ”
"Give me a call." Tony Stark said and pulled out his phone. A quick set of numbers was pressed.
Soon Jing Tian's avatar appeared, and Tony Stark immediately said without waiting for Jing Tian to speak, "Ears, I know that organization must have something to do with you!" I don't care if you're behind the scenes or a collaborator. Whatever you're planning, tell me what is best for Pep! ”
"It's not like you, Tony." Jing Tian's voice sounded slowly: "Shouldn't you be calmly thinking about some conspiracy theories or something?" It's not like your style to be so direct. ”
"Earles!" Tony Stark's face was solemn: "I know there are many problems between us, but Pep is innocent and she shouldn't be implicated!" Haven't you always admired her? No matter what the mood is! Help her! ”
Jing Tian was silent for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, my suggestion is to let Pep be an ordinary person again, because it is not known whether the Desperate Virus will have an impact on future generations." ”
Without waiting for Tony Stark to speak, Jing Tian then reversed the suggestion with bad intentions: "But I think it is necessary to remind you that once the Avengers start to officially operate, then there will be more and more enemies in the future, and no one can guarantee that any of those bad guys plan to make a fuss about everyone's relatives......"
"You mean Pep has the need to retain 'abilities'?" Tony Stark's head was big, and he whispered unpleasantly, "What the hell do you mean?" Does Pep want to leave the ability ...... or not?"
"It's up to you to choose, isn't it?" Jing Tian shrugged.
Tony Stark couldn't help but scold when he saw this, he was already in a choice obstacle, but it was even more difficult for him to choose after Jing Tian said this.
The best solution was to let Peppots make his own choice, but these agents have anesthetized Pep......
Tony Stark ended the call depressed, without even saying a word of goodbye, before frowning and pondering.
At this time, he had already confirmed the guess in his heart that the mysterious organization was indeed related to Jing Tian, so Tony Stark let go of his worries.
No matter what Jing Tian was planning, but at least Tony Stark didn't think he had completely torn his face with Jing Tian, he thought that the safety of himself and Pep was still guaranteed, well, at least for now......
Tony Stark thought about it for a long time, and the four agents stood there quietly for a long time like wooden stakes.
After a pause, Tony Stark turned his head to look at the five steel suits around him, and finally made a decision.
"I'm Iron Man...... I'm confident I can protect Pep! Tony Stark muttered as if hypnotizing himself, then looked at the four middle-aged agents, "I choose to make Pep a normal person!" ”
The middle-aged agent who spoke to Tony Stark nodded silently, then raised his hand and gestured to his companion.
The two agents stepped forward and took Pepppots from Tony Stark in his hand.
"What are you going to do?" Tony Stark was still a little uneasy, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.
"Take her back to the base, and at seven o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow, you will come here to pick up people."
"Wait! I have to follow! Tony Stark raised his hand and pressed it on the shoulder of an agent holding Pep.
The pressed man stopped and looked back at Tony Stark, as a red glow ignited in his pupils.
"Shhh Tony Stark suddenly gasped and withdrew his hand in an instant.
The red light on the agent's shoulder cooled and disappeared, and then he spoke: "This is not a discussion with you, if you don't agree, you can solve all the problems yourself." ”
"OK......" Tony Stark raised his hand and stepped back, nodding his head and saying, "I trust Earls." ”
The agents didn't move their faces as they continued to help Pep away.
A metal grinding sound sounded, and in Tony Stark's slight startle, a portal appeared out of thin air not far away, and four agents helped Pepppotz step inside.
A slight engine sounded, and the aircraft quickly lifted off as the portal closed again.
Tony Stark looked up at the empty sky with a heavy face, and after a while, he beckoned a steel suit and slipped in.
"Jarvis, scan each other, I want to know where they went!" Tony Stark commanded, "Also, why didn't they just inform me that they were hiding nearby?" ”
"Sorry sir, they have an electronic jamming system, and I can't scan for their presence."
"That bastard......" Tony Stark scolded unpleasantly, "He's got something out again!" Is he really an earthling? ”
"Sorry sir, this issue is still unknown."
Tony Stark's face flew up when he heard this, and he quickly returned to the Stark Building, while instructing, "Jarvis, contact me...... Contact Steve and Bruce Banner, as well as Nick Fer...... Forget it, just contact the first two. ”
"Yes, sir."
Soon Steve and Bruce Banner were connected to video communication, and Tony Stark immediately changed to a friendly smile......
On the other side, Jing Tian, who was sitting at home, put down the teacup and said to Lucy and Emma beside him: "That guy will definitely make small moves in the future, and sooner or later he will try his best to poke the umbrella matter to Nick Fury." ”
"It's already pretty good." Emma took her eyes off the work plan in her hand and looked at Jing Tian and said, "He has already ...... a lot" (to be continued......
