Chapter 16: Rachel
In Malibu, in the huge laboratory under the big dog family, Tony, dressed in his new armor, says to Laura, "Come on, hit me." β
"Bang! Bang dang! β
Stark, who flew upside down, crashed into the test table, and Derpy lowered his head and sprayed at him.
"Stop, stop, I'm not on fire, you idiot."
Tony said as he pulled away the fire extinguisher sprinkler with his hand, then looked at the woman who punched him away:
"You're too violent, and I'm going to test the heat resistance of the armor rather than fight it."
Laura shook her right hand and said, "It's you who didn't make it clear, blame me." β
Tony got up, walked back to his place and beckoned to her, "Use your hot gaze this time, don't be mistaken." β
"Bang ---"
Tony flew out again.
"Jarvis, report the data from just now." He said as he got up.
βYesοΌsir.
Miss Crawford's thermal gaze caused a high temperature of 3090 degrees Celsius against the armor, and the attached drive energy was about one megajoule.
99.92% integrity of the warframe structure"
Tony nodded, and it was the first time that Laura knew that her thermal vision had such a large amount of kinetic energy, which was roughly equivalent to the kinetic energy of a one-ton car traveling at a speed of 160km/h.
Next, Laura's right hand was pressed against the chest of the armor, and the energy was directly used to the extreme.
Ten minutes later------ "Stop, stop!" β
Tony tells Laura to stop, and he runs to Derpy.
Derpy's electronic eyes swept Tony standing in front of him up and down, left and right, and silently lowered his head.
"You bastard! Cool me down! β
................
Tony's new armor had no problem holding Laura's thermal vision, and it continued to withstand the heat for about an hour, but the temperature inside the armor had reached 53 degrees Celsius after ten minutes.
Very dissatisfied, Tony soon entered a workaholic state.
Laura and Pepper glanced at each other, and both saw the helplessness in their eyes, and turned away together.
Upstairs, Laura grabbed a plate of snacks and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to enjoy the sun and food.
Pepper walked up to her and shook her head at the chocolate cream cake on the plate that was handed over.
Laura was not polite when she saw this, and quickly wiped out the seven cakes in one bite.
"Miss Crawford, thank you and Ethan for saving Tony, is Ethan okay with him in London now?"
"You're welcome, just call me Laura, Ethan heard that he likes gardening now, and he should be doing well."
After the three of them arrived in the United States, Ethan revealed the fact that his family had already been killed by the Ten Rings, and Tony cleaned up the remnants of the Ten Rings the next day in the MK2 that he had made overnight.
Ethan finally let go of his burden, but rejected Tony's suggestion to open a new medical branch in the Stark Group, accepted Laura's invitation, and lived in Crawford Manor with the old butler as his companion.
Pepper chatted with Laura for a few small talks, got a phone call and drove out the door.
Laura harasses Jarvis while lying on the couch in the sun.
"Jarvis, do you dream when you're resting? Do you dream of electronic sheep? β
"Miss Crawford, I go into standby mode when Mr. Stark doesn't need it, reduce power consumption, and keep only necessary items such as security and data reception. But unlike you and Mr. Stark, I don't dream. β
"Why don't you come with me, help Tony deal with this and that every day."
"Miss Crawford, it is my honor and mission to serve Mr. Stark, thank you for the invitation, but I will not leave Mr. Stark."
As soon as Jarvis's voice fell, Tony popped up.
"Well said, Jarvis, don't be fooled by this woman. Now I'm rewarded with a reward for helping me calculate the data I've just entered, and if it's okay, I'll start transforming MK3. β
"Yes, sir."
After Tony instructed Jarvis, he threw a USB stick with "Project 0" labeled on it to Laura:
"This is a thank you gift, a smart butler made with Jarvis, and I have replaced all the permissions with yours. Jarvis doesn't mean anything to me, so don't worry about it. β
"Okay, okay, don't rob your Jarvis, I know your dad's housekeeper and best friend is also called Jarvis, I was just kidding, tsundere dad Bao Nan."
Laura said as she put away the USB stick.
Tony snorted when he heard this, looked around and didn't see Pepper, and asked:
"Pepper, didn't she come up with you?"
Laura made a gesture to answer the phone: "We just talked for a few words, and she answered a call and drove away." β
At this time, the voice of the intimate butler Jarvis came: "Sir, Miss Pepper has returned, her car has just entered the gate, and there is a young and beautiful lady in the car. β
Stark reacted quickly when he heard the keyword: "Call up the monitor, let me be well." β
Soon, a stereoscopic projection of a mature and glamorous big wave beauty appeared in front of Tony and Laura's eyes.
Tony whistled when he saw that the beauty was in line with his aesthetic, and Laura sighed helplessly at the familiar face.
After a while, Pepper walked in with a big wave beauty and said to Tony, "This is Natasha, I'm here to apply for your personal assistant." β
"You've got the job." Tony blurted out.
At this time, a man in a black suit with a cheeky face also walked in after Natasha.
When Tony saw this man, he said without thinking about it:
"Regardless of the position you are applying for, I declare that you have been rejected."
Hearing this, Pepper hurriedly spoke:
"This is Agent Coulson of the Homeland and Something, and I'm here to find you for last night."
Coulson took over with a gentle smile on his face: "It's the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, Mr. Stark, can you talk in private?" β
"Yo, isn't this an FBI 'Booth' agent? Why didn't you see 'Coulson' in one night? At this speed, you say that you are the CIA, it is reasonable. β
Laura said as she got up from the couch with her back to them.
At the end of the sentence, under the mocking eyes of Laura and Tony, the suspicious eyes of Pepper, and the 'kindness' of an undercover colleague, Coulson's smiling face finally turned into a wry smile.
Fortunately, this product is really thick-skinned enough, and the personality charm is okay, so I apologized to Laura and then explained that it was because of the 'work secrecy'.
Pepper took the speech from Coulson, then handed it to Tony with a smile, and Natasha quickly stepped in to help him groom.
After a while of hard work, the group got into the stretched Lincoln that Harpy drove on, and headed for Stark Industries' press conference venue.
..................
βThe truth is---I am Iron Man.β
As Tony uttered this famous sentence, the press conference was silent for a second, and then it became a sensation.
Laura looked at the podium surrounded by the excited crowd and smiled, she was a 'scene monster' and witnessed the beginning of a great era.
Turning to leave, returning to her villa, Laura sat in her room and looked at the ruins of the laboratory outside, which was soon to be rebuilt and expanded into a large multi-purpose base with one floor above ground and two floors underground. The bottom layer will install the latest supercomputer provided by Stark Group.
However, it will take time, and Laura took out the USB flash drive, rubbed it in her hand for a while, and plugged it into the laptop on the table.
Soon, the computer screen flashed, and a pleasant female voice came from the speaker:
"Butler No. KD6-3.7 is glad to serve you, Miss Crawford."
Hearing the number 'KD6-3.7', Laura was stunned, and a memory that seemed to be a long time ago became clear.
After being silent for a while, she looked at the computer that flashed in front of her and seemed to be breathing, and said:
"It's okay to call me Laura in the future, I don't know why Tony got you a KD6-3.7 number.
But as my exclusive personal butler in the future, this number is very awkward to call, and it lacks an emotion.
Remember, your future name will be Rachel."
(PS: I've been too busy lately, trying my best to keep two shifts a day.) Thank you for your support and encouragement, the contract has been printed and sent out tomorrow morning, and I will upload the cover as soon as possible. οΌ
