Just when Steve and the others are doubting their lives because of Hatty's complaints, Oakes has arrived at Malibu, Tony's Ocean View Villa.

"Oh, Oakes!"

Pepper, who came to greet him, looked at Oaks in surprise who was holding his arm a little confused:

"You've returned to Earth?"

"Oh? Do I have access? ”

The door was already open, and Oakes smiled and greeted Pepper, putting down his hand that wanted to knock on the glass door:

"Tony, this guy is quite good this time."

The last time he came, he couldn't get in.

"Of course, you saved him twice."

Pepper looked emotional and made a "please" gesture:

"Thank you so much, otherwise I don't know what would have become of Tony."

"I just played a supporting role."

Oakes walked through the door with a smile:

"What about Tony and the others?"

"In the lab, you can go straight to it."

Pepper sighed and spread his hands:

"Maybe it's useful for you to persuade him, the wine in his lab is depleting too quickly.

And the events of New York have been ......"

Speaking of which, Pepper's face was a little complicated:

"You know, I just want him to be good, what superheroes, Avengers, Iron Man......

None of this is as important to me as it is to get him a good night's sleep.

This is still the case with your necklace, otherwise I can't imagine what his pain would be. ”

“…… I understand that I have gained something from this trip to Asgard, and maybe I can help somewhat. ”

Oakes gave her a "reassuring" look:

"Although I am not a professional psychiatrist, I am a good pharmacist."

Downstairs in the lab, as soon as Oakes entered the door, he saw Tony holding an arm in his hand......

A model of an arm, staring intently at the test bench ten meters away.

"Whew!"

A piece of gold and red armor flew up from the test bench, shook slightly, and flew towards Tony's arm model in a puff of smoke.

"Bang!"

"Whew! Shet! ”

The armor component hit Tony's head headlong, and he lay on his back.

“……”

The corners of Oakes' mouth twitched as he watched Tony struggle to get up with his head covered, swearing in his mouth.

Jarvis's cheerful voice rang out:

"Sir, it is a pleasure to watch you work...... By the way, Mr. Oakes has been watching the door for twenty-five seconds. ”

"Huh?!"

Tony's hand stiffened as he tried to pick up the arm model, and when he looked up slowly, he saw Oaks with a strange face at the door.

"Jarvis! Why didn't you say it earlier! ”

"You told me not to disturb you until the experiment is over."

Jarvis said in a tone of course:

"And Mr. Oakes has permission, and you set it yourself."

“…… Jarvis, you're getting smarter and more flamboyant! ”

Tony rubbed his face at Jarvis's "thank you for the compliment", smiled reluctantly, stood up and strode towards Oakes:

"Hey man, I thought you were going to live in Asgard and not come back!"

"That's not a good place to stay."

Oakes shrugged his shoulders and gave Tony a high-five:

"They spend more than half of their day fighting and drinking, and most importantly, they like to make loud noises and throw glasses."

He looked at the model of the arm that Tony had casually thrown aside, and touched his chin:

"Are you...... Playing baseball? ”

“…… Don't mention baseball to me! Hurry up and reduce the swelling for me! ”

Tony pointed to the swollen bag on his head and looked carefully at the stairs:

"Just in time you're here, it's another trouble for Pepper to find out!"

"Pepper said you haven't been sleeping well lately, let me advise you to drink less......"

Oakes rubbed his fingers, and a green light flashed, and the large bag on Tony's forehead quickly disappeared, leaving no trace.

"But I haven't had time to ask her if she sleeps more after drinking?"

“……”

This time, Tony was silent.

His eyes wandered and he turned and walked to the workbench, his hands subconsciously fiddling with the parts on it.

It took a full minute for his eyes to regain focus.

"Ah...... Come and sit down, I'm experimenting with a new idea, after all, you know my suit is too inconvenient to put on and take off. ”

Tony smiled a little stiffly and tossed the parts in his hand to Oakes:

"Embedded miniature laser-guided nerve motion sensors can navigate suit parts and allow them to fly to the parts that need to be equipped on their own."

"So you were using that arm model to test if the glove can be worn accurately and automatically?"

Oakes took the sensor, looked at it over and over, and grinned:

"You're going to embed this thing in your muscles? I don't think you should wear a custom-made version of underwear. ”

"That's right, I've developed a new remote control system for ultra-long-range suits!"

Speaking of his new idea, Tony became excited, and with a wave of his hand, he showed Oakes a hologram -

That's a whole bunch of Mark Series Warframes in the lab's underground warehouse!

Tony, who was fully in self-congratulatory mode, picked up a headband-like device on the table and waved it at Oakes:

"I call this new deployment method the 'Laser-Guided Tracking Rapid Deployment System'.

In this way, even if I am separated from the suit, I can either directly command the suit to fight by myself, or I can summon the suit to my side at any time! ”

"Crazy idea, and it looks like you're close to making it."

Oakes turned his head to look at the latest warframe being modeled on the monitor, marked with a number.

Mark 42, code name: The Prodigal Son.

"But...... No matter how powerful the armor is, it still depends on the people inside. ”

Oakes stepped forward and pressed Tony's shoulder, looking directly into his slightly flustered eyes:

"The feeling of walking through a wormhole...... Isn't it comfortable? ”

"Ahh

Tony subconsciously covered his chest and gasped violently:

"I ...... Call...... I...... I ......"

"Shet! I can't forget it! ”

In irritability, he threw the parts in his hand to the ground, and threw himself into the chair again, looking haggard:

"Whenever I close my eyes or hear 'New York'...... Damn it! ”

He slapped his head hard.

"Huh~"

Oakes' pacifying spell was now much more effective, and under his spell, Tony's breathing gradually calmed down:

"I think you should build a hospital, the kind of general department."

"I don't have a doctor's license."

Oakes pursed his lips and reached out to grab a bottle of liquid sapphire beauty from the air.

"Wow! Teddy Bear Baby, is this your new magic?! ”

Tony stood up with a "free" kick:

"Shet! It's enviable! ”

"Don't worry about these details, Depression Man."

Oakes tossed the bottle to Tony, who scrambled to take it.

"Drinking it will not only refresh you, but also bring some of your abilities back to the top......"

Seeing Tony's complexion change drastically, Oakes squeezed his eyes:

"Although I don't have a pharmacist license either, this is an Asgardian certification, and Odin personally experienced it!"
