"Forget it, I didn't see it at all." Strange leaned on the desk in the office of Arkham Sanitarium and said, "I don't understand why the teacher is so anxious."
"We didn't make an appointment, so we just made a circle and went to Asgard. As a result, Odin went out and had to wait for a while before he could come back."
"In just a few hours, you went on an interstellar journey?" Stark said, sitting on the sofa nearby.
"If you're jealous, just say so." Strange shot back without hesitation.
But he still said helplessly: "I said we shouldn't tell my teacher this plan so early. She is a little too excited now."
"When we returned to Karma Taj, before I left, she asked more than a dozen mages to call the cosmic demon god she had traded with, and she kept calling when she couldn't get through. The first one to respond was Murphy.
Toss…”
"Have you met him? The so-called Lord of Hell?"
"No, but I heard his voice, but they spoke an ancient language that I couldn't understand."
"What does that sound sound like?" Stark asked curiously: "You actually heard the voice of the devil."
"What's the matter? When I went to Asgard, I also saw the World Tree." Strange said proudly: "There are also Pegasus flying in the sky and elves in the spring."
"Then have you seen those mythical gods?"
Strange shook his head and said: "We went too suddenly. Asgard did not arrange for anyone to entertain us, and many people left with Odin. The only one at home was a god named Loki, who was Asgard."
The prince of Gard, he received us, but my impression of him is very average."
"Why?"
"It's hard to say. Since I started learning magic, my intuition has become more sensitive. I always feel that he doesn't look like a good person."
"Then your intuition is right." Schiller said to Strange: "The stupid guy we picked up a few days ago said that his brother is the god of lies and deceit."
"By the way, I'm sure this time that the alien who landed on the earth is indeed Odin's son, because I heard that Odin went out just to deal with the trouble he caused."
"Where is Thor now?" Stark asked Schiller.
"Currently cooperating with SHIELD for physical examination, he should be released soon."
"Nick is really willing to release him? According to what you said, he caused a big trouble in his own family before, and his father had to personally intervene to solve it. How much trouble will he cause on earth?"
"Steve has been tested before. Apart from being slightly stronger than ordinary people and being incredibly healthy, he has no special abilities."
After saying that, Schiller lowered his head and looked at his watch and said: "By now, Nick should have asked what he wants to know. The next step must be to use SHIELD to find him a house and another one."
This job requires several agents to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day and observe the behavior of aliens..."
"I always think that this approach is somewhat dangerous. Even if he has no power beyond ordinary people, his outlook on life is completely different from that of humans. It is equivalent to a mentally ill person who is always on the rise..."
"Whether he is mentally ill or not is not up to you," Schiller said with a smile.
"You shouldn't have taken Nick's black money to write a medical certificate for him again, right?" Stark looked at Schiller with wide eyes.
“You have to make this kind of money??”
"You'd better take care of yourself first." Schiller looked down at his watch again and said, "Miss Pepper has been busy lately, and you're going to be in trouble, Mr. Stark, who knows women's hearts best."
As soon as he heard that Schiller wanted to talk to him about this topic, Stark almost ran away. After he left, Strange glanced at the door, then walked over and closed the door, saying: "Just let him continue like this.
?”
He pointed to his chest, indicating that he was referring to the energy problem in Stark's chest.
"It seems that learning magic has indeed changed you a lot, and you actually care about Stark."
"I just think that he is the guarantee of our research and development capabilities. After all, we still have many problems that have not been solved, such as energy conversion and storage. If he dies, the follow-up things will definitely become very troublesome."
"Didn't you notice?"
"What?"
"We knew that the reactor in his chest was a time bomb that might kill him within a year, but we were not in a hurry."
"So why?" Strange tilted his head and stared at Schiller.
"When you went to the laboratory last time, did you see the model on his experimental table?"
Strange frowned and thought for a moment and said, "I think I saw it. Is it the one placed next to the bookshelf?"
"Yes, that's the model of the Ark reactor."
"You mean, he has already prepared a replacement? Then why didn't he replace it?"
"Because it comes from his father's technology."
"Okay..." Strange shook his head, obviously unable to understand, "To gamble with his own life, he is more childish than I thought."
"It's not all out of anger. He believes that there is still room for improvement in this technology. He wants to directly create a perfect finished product and then do it once and for all. More importantly, this can prove that he is better than his father."
"Don't talk about him, let's talk about you. I heard from the nurse that you didn't come home last Christmas and Easter?" Schiller asked Strange.
"That has nothing to do with you." Strange's tone became lower and he said, "I'm not your patient and I don't need your guidance."
"That's what every one of my patients says."
"That is no longer important to me. Not only do I have money and status, but I also have access to areas that ordinary people cannot access. I even took an interstellar journey a few hours ago and arrived at the legendary Kingdom of God...
…”
"Did you know? When you just said this, your expression was exactly the same as when Stark mentioned Howard. Whenever this name appeared in his ears, he would say how brilliant the Stark Group is now..."
"Then what do you advise him to do? Forgive Howard?"
Schiller sighed and said: "Generally speaking, psychiatrists advise you to let go of something and forgive someone, not because they think the person did the right thing, but because if you continue to dwell on it, you will end up damaging it."
Only your own emotions and spirit, you should know better than me."
"Well, maybe I shouldn't say this, but I would like to hear about your life experience, and then compare your father and Stark's father, which one is worse." Schiller continued.
Strange snorted coldly and said, "Good people in this world are all different, but bad people are all the same."
But after a while, he still said: "That drunkard can only get drunk. He knew that Donna could only use a wheelchair to move around, but he still refused to spend money to buy her a better wheelchair so that she could pass by.
I fell into the river when I was at the river."
Unlike Stark, Strange's tone was very cold when he talked about this experience, and he couldn't hear any ups and downs.
"I originally studied medicine to cure my sister's leg, but on the day I got the scholarship, I called him, and his first sentence was, your sister is dead."
"The second sentence asked me to give him the scholarship."
"Then it seems your father is worse."
"Just because he's poorer."
"I heard you have a younger brother."
"Yes, brother..." Strange's tone was a bit contemptuous, "That drunkard doesn't like Donna, nor does he like me, but he is only obedient to his youngest son Victor."
"That's why I don't want to go back, because it's not my home. They have a deep love for each other and have nothing to do without me."
After speaking, Strange lowered his head to write again. When Strange mentioned his life experience, he did not react as fiercely as Stark. His tone was very calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business.
"In this way, Stark is quite lucky. After all, he is an only child. He was accompanied by his old butler and uncle during his childhood."
Schiller put his hand on his chin and sighed: "That stupid guy who fell from the sky is like this too. I just don't know if Odin is really partial or something else."
"I am different from him. My grades have always been very good and I have won all the scholarships."
"He also fought in the north and south and made many military exploits. But the result is that neither of you can go home now."
"He was thrown out, not me."
Strange's tone remained unchanged. He said, "I have never received as much praise from my father in my life as I have received from my teachers in the past few days."
"Stark also said that his father always felt that he knew nothing, so now he is desperately trying to prove that he knows everything."
"This makes no sense," Strange finally concluded.
"This is meaningless!" Pepper shouted: "When will you put down your damn arrogance and stop risking your life?"
"Who do you want to prove to? Your father? But can you think about it? No father wants to see his son risk his life to get angry with himself!"
In the laboratory of Stark Tower, Pepper walked up to Stark, looked into his eyes and said: "If I knew that while I was busy cleaning up your mess, you were busy looking for your own death.
Then I will never care about you! Stark!"
"I'm not looking for death. Listen to me. The thing I made is not perfect. I hope to have a more perfect finished product..."
"When did this happen? Are you still struggling with your meaningless standards? You are about to die!"
"You know what? Tony, I really can't think of any reason for a person to still dwell on the past and memories when he knows that his life span is less than a year."
After speaking, she covered her forehead and sighed: "I don't know whether you should be brave or arrogant."
"I can obviously do better, it just takes a little time. One year is enough, believe me, Pepper."
Stark walked up, hugged Pepper and said, "Even if I really only have one year to live, at least you will be with me."
"You're always like this. You only talk nice and never solve the problem I'm most worried about." Pepper sighed tiredly and said, "You treat all women like this."
"Don't be like this, trust me, I will solve this problem."
Looking at Stark's always moist eyes, Pepper still didn't say any more accusations.
After Pepper left, Stark sat down again on the edge of the experimental table, holding the model in his hand.
Stark looked at the model in his hand. When he looked at it like this, he would think of his favorite toy, the car that was assembled by his father and son.
Howard finished the chassis and engine, while Stark installed the casing, tires and seats, and then wrote their shared last name with a pen on the door.
This was a good time that he found after rummaging through his memory for a long time.
Everyone thinks that Stark is just unwilling to use Howard's technology, but only Stark himself knows that he just wants to make this technology more perfect, and it is not because he wants to prove that he is better than Howard.
He just wanted this to become a work completed by their father and son, just like the car, that toy became a souvenir of the first half of his life, and the Ark reactor would be his hope for the second half of his life.
In this way, he can think that his father has never been absent in his life.
