In New York at night, Tony drove his red sports car as usual, preparing to return to the seaside villa.
He returned from a trip to Monaco, and his anxious mood relaxed a little. Although the problem of palladium poisoning was still unresolved, and there were still a lot of troubles at Stark Industries, Tony just wanted to fulfill his dreams while he still had time, such as Convene the Stark Industry Expo, or usher in a new energy era.
“This way at least someone will remember me.” Tony’s muttering disappeared in the wind.
But the most troublesome thing is that he has annoyed Pepper recently. The usually considerate secretary now always has a cold face, looking cold and unwilling to talk to him.
“I hope Pepper won’t cry too much when the time comes.”
With his hands on the steering wheel, Tony imagined his funeral. Rhodes would definitely come over and say some touching and condolence words; Pepper, who knew the truth, might burst into tears and complain about why he didn’t find out earlier; the board of directors Those old guys will probably open champagne to celebrate…
Mr. Stark, who was thinking wildly, silently calculated, and finally sadly discovered that except for Rhodes and Pepper, he really didn’t have many friends.
“Ahem… Geniuses are always lonely.” After a moment of silence, Tony could only comfort himself with this reason.
The wind whistled through the car windows, the city lights illuminated the dark night, and the engine of the red sports car roared. Feeling the pleasure brought by speed, Stark’s lips raised a smile. Only in this way could he truly understand Experience the freshness of life as a way to resist impending death.
The scenery on the highway passed by fleetingly. Tony, immersed in the speed of the car, inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure with his peripheral vision. He couldn’t help but release the accelerator pedal, pulled over and gradually slowed down.
“Look, isn’t this a great New York genius? Were you robbed by gangsters? They didn’t even leave you money for a taxi. You really have no professional ethics.”
Sean heard these treacherous words, ignored Tony’s sarcasm, put one hand on the car door and jumped in. It’s a waste of time to argue with this playboy, and he doesn’t want to be photographed by the paparazzi, otherwise tomorrow there will be “Umbrella founder streaking on the highway” or “New York genius performs performance art” False news.
Ever since the Daily Bugle reported the Watsonton scandal, tabloid reporters have followed suit, often using exaggerated headlines to attract attention. For example, Mr. Fantastic not long ago led the rest of his team to a talk show to show off his abilities. , was cited by a third-rate tabloid with ulterior motives as “Shocked! The famous superhero is so weak!”
Although Reed later explained that the rubber-like body would not cause trouble to normal life, and it was not as dirty as everyone thought, it was still made into pornographic jokes and circulated by many people.
“Send me to Long Island.” Sean leaned on his chair and closed his eyes.
A conversation with Ancient One made him feel a rare feeling of fatigue. Compared to the Supreme Mage who often traveled through time and space, he was inferior in strength and wisdom.
This also sounded a wake-up call in his heart. Even if he formed an alliance with the professor and defeated Magneto, there was still a long way to go. There was no shortage of strong people on this planet, and he was far from reaching the level that no one could match. Strong point.
“I’m not your driver.” Tony curled his lips, glanced at the frowning young man sitting next to him, and stopped talking.
Abandoning subjective emotions, his impression of Sean is pretty good. He neither lacks ability nor has an outstanding mind. He is not a loser like Justin Hammer at all – of course this is only an objective view. Just thinking about the scene of this guy dancing with Pepper in his arms, Tony began to regret why he had to stop the car, take a photo and send it to the newspaper, buy a newspaper tomorrow morning, and then make a phone call to laugh at it. This is what he should do.
“This is not the direction to Long Island.” Sean closed his eyes and rested for a moment, looking at the tree-lined roads on both sides, which seemed to be the way to the Stark mansion.
“There is a party tonight, and a group of people are waiting. As the protagonist, I can’t be late!” Tony said lazily.
Sean was thoughtful. He looked at the black veins on the playboy’s neck. Even without a blood detector, he could tell that the palladium toxin was eroding the other person’s body.
“Really don’t think about it anymore? Find a top doctor to do an operation and remove the shrapnel from your body. As long as you don’t continue to use that gadget, maybe when you are eighty years old, you can still have it with a group of swimsuit girls. Party or something.”
Tony shook his head with firm eyes. Iron Man was an indispensable part of his life, and no one could let him give up.
“You don’t understand this feeling.” He patted the Ark Reactor on his chest, “That feeling of being able to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and be omnipotent. This is the first time I have tried to use my own power to help others. This is what I am. A life to chase, even if it’s short.”
The dazzling car lights are like sharp swords, illuminating the dark tree-lined road. In the distance, the seaside villa standing on the cliff can be seen in the distance, and the noisy sound waves can be vaguely heard.
“Why, do you feel sorry that the great Iron Man is about to die?” Tony tilted his head with a proud smile on his face.
The silent Sean shook his head and said: “I was just thinking that after you leave this world, as a former collaborator, I might go to comfort Miss Potts who is immersed in grief – no need to thank me, this is what I should do made.”
Tony’s smiling face immediately froze. If he hadn’t been holding the steering wheel, he would have strangled this malicious bastard to death with both hands!
…………
Kathmandu, Kamal Taj.
When Ancient Yi returned to his residence, the light of the hanging ring flickered, the magic circle with flying sparks disappeared without a trace, and his eldest disciple Mo Du stood quietly in the center of the courtyard.
“How was this trip to New York?” Modo, a disciple of the Supreme Master, asked.
There are many magicians practicing in seclusion in Kama Taj, but the only one who has truly received the inheritance of the Ancient One is Modu. Others see him as the next Sorcerer Supreme.
“I met an interesting guy.” The bald mage smiled and walked under the night with her hands behind her back. “In the many timelines, I can’t even see his future.”
“Didn’t you say that it is a soul from another world? Maybe he will not appear in the future.” Modu said softly.
He has studied magic with the Supreme Mage for many years and practiced in seclusion. He has never had the slightest doubt about this great wise man who saved him from the mortal world.
“No, I glimpsed some fragments in the long river of time and space. He is one of the biggest variables, which is why I chose to let it go.”
Gu Yi sighed and looked up at the vast starry sky. She was extremely nostalgic for the beauty of the world, but she could not prevent the arrival of death.
Walking quietly into the depths of the hall, the Eye of Agamodha was enshrined on the stage. Under the shell with heavy magic, a dark green gem shone brightly.
“Will he become a threat to this world?” Gu Yi asked softly, and no one in the hall responded.
The Supreme Mage stretched out his hand towards the Eye of Agamodha, and when he was about to touch it, he quickly took it back, as if he didn’t want to use this powerful magic weapon again.
“That is a plunderer and conqueror full of desires. I shouldn’t place my hope on him… But if not, how can I prevent future crises?” The hesitation in his eyes lasted for a moment, and then immediately dissipated.
Gu Yi left with nothing, and the dark green gem dimmed, waiting for the arrival of the next Supreme Mage.
