Chapter Twenty-Seven: The End
When Leo arrives, Tony and Roddy are besieging the last remaining Ripper.
Not far away, another Ripper was unrecognizable, billowing black smoke billowing from the rubble.
"Man, I knew you could." Leo gives Tony a thumbs up in the air.
Roddy and Ivan also noticed Leo.
Since Roddy is often next to Tony, over time, Leo and Roddy also get to know each other.
"Hey! Roddy, don't be stunned, show this Superman boy that trick. ”
Tony's palm erupted with rays of energy, continuously suppressing the Ripper.
The golden glow left deep scars on the Ripper's body.
"Just that one trick?"
"That's right, hurry up."
Subsequently, I saw four long devices flying out of the back of the Mark X4, accumulating energy.
Roddy also raised his hands.
In the next moment, six blue-white energies converged into a powerful pillar of energy and slammed into the Ripper.
Without a loud sound, the Ripper was lifted into the sky and began to melt and disintegrate.
"Not a bad move." Leo faintly admired.
Then he flew forward and swung it with a punch.
"Bell!"
The Ripper slammed feebly to the ground, it was damaged beyond shape, revealing an unconscious Ivan in the driver's seat.
"I'll take care of the rest."
Leo departed in style.
"Roddy, look at that kid's arrogant appearance." Tony was indignant.
"When my Mark X5 is developed, I'm going to have to kick that kid in the ass hard."
Luo Di secretly thought in his heart: If I were so bullish with Mr. Tang, I would walk sideways on the street.
It was already late at night, and only S.H.I.E.L.D. men were left cleaning up the battlefield and quelling the turmoil of this incident.
And with the end of this battle, Hydra's long-awaited hope for a comeback was completely extinguished. Alexander Pierce, who was thousands of miles away, gritted his teeth and gave the order to evacuate.
Without getting rid of Leo, Hydra couldn't move an inch. But it doesn't matter, Hydra will lurk and continue to accumulate strength in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.
After all, being a shrunken turtle has always been Hydra's forte.
That night, many merchants, workers, beggars, refugees, etc. left this free country overnight, leaving only a small number of people to collect information and intelligence.
In order to avoid Leo's surveillance, Hydra had to change to a new set of secret words, and no longer dared to say "Long live Hydra" every day.
——————
A few days later......
In Tony's villa, Fury, Tony, and Leo are sitting together looking at each other.
"The men of Hydra seemed to disappear overnight, and this war is undoubtedly our victory."
Fury sat back on Tony's plush couch somewhat relaxedly.
The battle with Hydra, which lasted for half a year, made the eyebrows of this king of agents full of exhaustion.
"What? Wait, what war? ”
Tony was still a little confused.
"What hydra? What war? ”
But he really can't be blamed for this, according to the current plot development, Tony has not yet come into contact with Hydra.
"Hydra, an old rival of S.H.I.E.L.D., a terrorist organization with a large and powerful organization."
Leo dotted on the tablet and called up Hydra's information and handed it to Tony.
"So you've been fighting their men behind my back?"
This makes Tony, who has always called himself a superhero, a little unacceptable, knowing that he has cracked down on a lot of crimes and eliminated many terrorist organizations in the past six months.
Is there such a thing without informing him?
At this time, Fury, who was sitting on the side, spoke with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Hydra is no ordinary terrorist organization, it has been infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D. since its early days, and they have done it very successfully. It wasn't until half a year ago that we discovered the clues and started this protracted purge plan. ”
"Fighting them is like fighting yourself in the mirror, they're almost in control of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony, I know you want to help, but you're in a very bad state these days, and I'm afraid that pulling you in will put you in danger."
"Besides, we have Leo's help, and Hydra is not to be feared."
In fact, Fury has three considerations for this issue:
One is that Tony is now the only seedling of the Stark family, and Fury doesn't want Tony to have any accidents; The second is that Tony's condition is indeed not very good, and he is not suitable for fighting Hydra; The third is that with Leo here, there is no shortage of combat power on the frontal battlefield, and the real difficulty lies in intriguing with the people of Hydra and finding them.
In the movie, Fury only senses that Tony's state is wrong, but Tony's specific situation is only learned after Fury sends Natasha to go undercover.
That's why Fury gave Tony Stark's relics to Tony after Tony's palladium was poisoned to the point where it was so severe.
It's not that Fury doesn't want to give, it's that Fury didn't know what happened to Tony before.
But in this universe, due to the inextricable fight with Hydra, Fury does not have the energy and manpower to pay attention to Tony anymore.
But the good thing is that everything is settled satisfactorily.
Tony was silent for a moment.
"I know, but that's because I'm dying, so I'm acting a little out of line. Now, though, the matter has been settled. ”
Now, Fury has learned about Tony's situation, and he also secretly scolded himself for not handing Howard's suitcase to him earlier.
"Now that the matter of the hydra is basically solved, all that remains is to find their hiding nests in the world and pull them up one by one. I'll let you know if there's anything you need in the future. ”
At this moment, Leo asked Fury:
"Why didn't I see Alexander Pearce, haven't you caught him yet?"
"No, he has already run away, but one day, I will catch him with my own hands!"
Fury's one-eyed flickered with angry fireworks.
In fact, a long time ago, when Pierce hadn't evacuated, Leo was thinking about whether to take down this guy directly.
But Fury stopped him.
Leo could understand Fury's feelings.
Alexander Pierce was Fury's closest comrade-in-arms, and Fury was even willing to sacrifice his life for him.
Can you imagine how you would feel when your best friend betrayed you?
Fury was so desperate to catch this traitor with his own hands, it was a matter between him and Pierce, and he didn't want anyone else to interfere.
So Fury, who was carried away by emotions at the time, refused Leo's help.
Later, when Fury finally figured it out, Alexander had already fled, and Leo had no chance to make a move.
So, when it comes to people's emotions, even the best agents make mistakes.
But then again.
"Boy, don't try to sell it, when do you plan to return the Cosmic Rubik's Cube to us?"
Fury watched Leo's expression change from embarrassment to reasonableness.
"What? Why do you want to return it, didn't you say that I would help you fight the Hydra, and you would give me the Cosmic Cube as a reward? Why, when this superman is working day jobs? These days, even those who play tricks have appearance fees. ”
Fury looked at Leo and couldn't help but smile.
Anyway, the current S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have the energy to study the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and if you want to come back, you will throw it in the warehouse and eat ashes, so it is better to put it in this kid's place and make the best use of it.
And now that S.H.I.E.L.D. is in ruins, it is the time to absorb fresh blood, and this time we can't let the Hydra people in again......
After thinking about this, Fury left with a word, he still has a lot of official business to deal with.
"The Avengers thing, you can continue to think about it."
——————
The next day, Tony receives a silver-white suitcase from Fury.
It has Howard Stark's signature on it.
Pretending not to care, Tony opened the box.
What catches your eye is a blueprint for the construction of the Ark reactor and several videotapes.
In the basement, Tony flipped through Howard's notes and the video was shown in front of him.
In Tony's eyes, his father never seemed to be so happy with him, and he never received a word of praise from his father in his childhood.
When he saw the affectionate, fatherly and filial picture between Leo and Darren, Tony didn't know how envious he was.
But when I heard a sentence from the videotape:
"Tony, from now to the future, the best creation of my life is you."
Our playboy Mr. Stark frowned, tears gleeed in his eyes.
It turns out that just as all fathers in the world love their sons, their own fathers love themselves just as deeply.
Tonymo clutches the kryptonite reactor on his chest.
Dad, I hope I've become the pride of your heart by now.
However, just as Tony was sad, an uninvited guest broke the heartwarming scene.
It's the evil Leo!
Hurriedly adjusting his facial expression, Tony said viciously:
"Damn, you kid won't knock when he comes in? Jarvis, what do you think of home? ”
Jarvis's slightly aggrieved voice rang out:
"Sir, it's Friday that blocked my voice system."
"Hahaha." Leo grinned.
Mark X4 covers his whole body, and Tony is about to punch this kid.
Leo hurriedly waved his hand:
"Don't worry Tony, it's a good thing, remember the gift I told you?"
That's right, when the two first met in their real identities, Leo promised to give Tony a gift if he helped him study the cosmic tunnel together.
At that time, Leo's idea was to cut off S.H.I.E.L.D. and tell Tony about the new elements in advance. However, the world is unpredictable, and I didn't expect Tony to come up with a new element by himself!
This made Leo difficult, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally came up with a new idea.
"Really? What gift? ”
Tony's mouth curled into a smile as well.
——————
The strong light made Tony a little blind.
"Damn! Can't you just turn off the lights? You don't need them anyway, you're Superman! ”
"Don't be nervous, Tony, I'm the best surgeon in the world."
Looking at Tony lying on the operating table, Leo was comforted by the surgical instruments he was holding.
He's Superman, after all!
"You just have to close your eyes, open them, and the operation will pass."
Yes, Leo was going to remove the shrapnel from Tony's body so that Tony would no longer need to put the reactor in his body to protect his heart from the shrapnel.
The anesthesia soon worked, and in a daze, Tony saw Leo reach out to him.
"Hell ......"
He passed out in a complete coma.
And in the distant realm of the gods, Asgard, the mighty god-king Odin is putting Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, to his lips and whispering something.
"Whoever can lift Thor's hammer is qualified to have Thor's power."
With that, he threw the hammer with great power into the rainbow bridge.
