Soon, under Tony Stark's heartfelt comfort, the atmosphere in the office became charming, but before Tony Stark could further comfort Pepper, Jarvis's voice rang out
: "Sir, the Human Torch will be here in about two minutes..."
"Human Torch? What is he doing here?" Tony Stark, who was interrupted, had a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He looked at Pepper in his arms and muttered hesitantly, "If you hurry up..."
"What are you thinking about? We'll talk about it when you come back tonight!" Pepper rolled her eyes at Tony Stark angrily, stood up from his lap, and said softly, "I'm going to handle the company's affairs, please remember to come back tonight.
…”
"Got it!" Tony Stark nodded quickly and looked towards the distant sky. When he saw a firelight appearing in his sight, Tony Stark couldn't help but complain, "It's really coming.
It’s not the time!”
Of course Tony Stark knew why Johnny Stone was here. Something happened to Pepper before, and Tony Stark had no time to say anything to the Avengers, so he hurried over. Now Johnny Stone should have received the news,
So I came over to take a look.
It's not that the other Avengers didn't care about his and Pepper's safety, but Johnny Stone couldn't sit still after hearing the news about the Flame Man.
After all, although it was known that there was more than one Flame Man before, the Flame Man did not do anything evil at that time, but it is different now. The Flame Man actually took action against Pepper, even if he wanted to target them for revenge.
Alliance, so Johnny Stone was also thinking about whether Tony Stark would gain anything after defeating the Flame Man.
Unexpectedly, Johnny Stone flew directly to the window of the Stark Group Building. Jarvis did not need to wait for Tony Stark's order, so he directly opened the window and let Johnny Stone fly in.
"The temperature of your flame is far worse than that of the Flame Man, and according to previous intelligence, the strength of their Flame Man is about the same..." Seeing Johnny Stone coming in, Tony Stark deliberately looked at Johnny Stone and teased
He got up and wanted to hit Johnny Stone in revenge for Johnny Stone's uninvited behavior that ruined his good deeds.
"Is he so powerful?" Johnny's expression turned serious when he heard this. After the flames dissipated from his body, he looked at Tony Stark with a solemn expression and asked, "You fought with him and noticed the ability between me and him.
What’s the difference?”
"I noticed this." Tony Stark did not joke this time, but watched Johnny Stone explain seriously, and at the same time showed the image of himself fighting Matthews.
Although Tony Stark and Matthews have not been fighting each other for a long time, Jarvis's database now knows more and more about extraordinary people, and he is naturally able to analyze more specific information about extraordinary powers.
situation.
"The essence of your flame is actually different. Before you incarnate into the flame state, it is more like using the power in your body to condense a blazing flame. Your essence is burning, but his essence is heating. He is more like
It is a magma condensation that can continuously heat up..." Looking at the scene played in front of him, Tony Stark gave his own speculation.
"Burning...heating up..." Johnny Stone looked at Matthews's flame power, and his eyes slowly lit up. He seemed to realize why his flames could not burn in a vacuum environment. If he could master this
With the ability to heat up at will, if you combine it with your original flame ability, your power will definitely be able to go further!
"Shall we contact the Saiyans or Superman? See if we can contact the members of Karma Taj and ask them if there are powers from other dimensions that have come to the earth recently..." Johnny Stone replied
After the god came, his mind suddenly started to work. He thought of what Tony Stark had said about the flame dimension before, so he looked at Tony Stark and suggested.
"Eh? You actually thought of this method?" Tony Stark couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Johnny Stone's suggestion. He didn't expect that Johnny Stone, who always didn't like to use his brain, wanted to improve his strength.
At that time, he actually became so smart, which really shocked Tony Stark.
"There is no need to contact the Saiyans and Superman. Superman is still on the African continent. If he hadn't saved some soldiers from time to time and showed some strength, allowing both sides to reduce the scope of the battlefield, even the entire African continent would have been affected by this.
The war was involved..." Tony Stark shook his head after coming back to his senses, looked at Johnny Stone and said softly,
"As for the Saiyans, I don't know where this guy has gone. He may have gone to practice, or he may have gone to find Supergirl to live in a world of two. After all, both of them have disappeared. As for you who want to contact me,
As for Karma Taj, Martian Manhunter can do the same, I'll inform him..."
"Okay." Johnny nodded after hearing this, but he had no intention of objecting to Tony Stark's suggestion.
"Kama Taj said that although the earth dimension is still not safe, some little guys stow away from time to time, but it does not have much impact. Those stowaways have been dealt with. As for the large-scale invasion of dimensional forces,
They didn't find anything..." Soon, Martian Manhunter contacted Kama Taj and gave them their answer.
"If we calculate based on the number of flame ability users we have seen, the power of this invasion will definitely not be small, but they did not notice the emergence of any dimension of power related to flames..."
"It's not the flame dimension? Is there some kind of mutation experiment?" After hearing Martian Manhunter's answer, Tony Stark couldn't help but frowned, and then ordered to Jarvis, "Jarvis, will purchase a large number of experiments
Everyone who supplies supplies is sorted out and checked one by one!"
"Okay, sir." Although the workload Tony Stark mentioned is enough to make humans despair, fortunately, Jarvis is not a human, he is a powerful artificial intelligence, and this workload is not enough for him.
I mean, it's not to the point of causing him to shut down.
However, it will take time to thoroughly screen out the targets Tony Stark wants to find. After all, there are too many people who can buy experimental supplies, whether they are universities or larger official organizations, they are all in this category.
Within, and most importantly, the Flame Man might have been created by them!
"Go back first. This is not a base after all. There is no way to deduce and display many things..." Tony Stark glanced at his office and frowned, said something to Johnny Stone, and then spoke to Pepper.
After kissing each other goodbye and agreeing to go home in the evening, they followed Johnny Stone back to the Avengers base. They continued to check the types of experimental supplies with Jarvis, analyzed the possible extraordinary experiments in them, and continued to monitor them.
Those places where the Firemen appear.
On the other side, Killian also received the news that Tony Stark personally took action and defeated the Flame Man. When he learned that Matthews really almost kidnapped Pepper, Killian couldn't help but be stunned.
You know, Killian had little confidence in Matthews, so he made a chain plan and made multiple preparations. If he had known that Matthews almost succeeded so easily, he would have sent out a few more moves before.
Go down and check in with Matthews. Didn't you successfully capture Pepper?
Unfortunately, there is no use regretting it now. Fortunately, although Matthews failed, it also gave Pepper an unforgettable experience. At the same time, Killian also received the news that Tony Stark had left the Stark Group Building.
He quickly contacted Shane and the others and asked them to prepare to see which home Pepper would eventually return to.
But Pepper didn't know that her experience today was dangerous enough, and there were people who wanted to serially murder him. She was still thinking about how to spend a happy romantic time with Tony Stark at night, so that she could end today's day.
The unpleasant experiences during the day were completely forgotten, but I didn’t expect that my home was no longer safe...
Of course, Pepper couldn't even return to her home. When she drove her car to an uninhabited section of her home, a ball of fire suddenly hit the front of Pepper's car.
Of course, Shane had no intention of killing Pepper on the spot. He was just preparing to blow up the road ahead and force Pepper to stop at the same time.
"Shet!" When she saw the scene in front of her, even Pepper couldn't help but curse. She didn't even mean to turn the steering wheel, but directly pressed the watch on her hand.
.
There was a sound of "Buzz!", and in just a moment, Pepper's watch was directly covered with a layer of mecha. This set of mecha is actually an extension of Tony Stark's mecha. In essence, it is a set, and it is also Tony.
When Stark left, he kept a careful eye on how to protect Pepper.
"Boom!"
It's just that Tony Stark didn't expect that the method he stayed behind actually worked again. Pepper's body flew directly out of the sports car. As for the sports car that lost control and hit the explosion, Pepper
I didn't mean to feel bad, as long as she was fine, the car wasn't worth much.
"Fortunately, I rejected Happy's offer to send me back." Flying in the air, Pepper couldn't help but feel a little lucky. After the previous attack, Happy, who was having fun outside, hurried back and prepared to protect him.
Pepper went home, but Pepper said that she had Tony Stark's methods and refused Happy's kindness.
At this time, Pepper thought that if he hadn't rejected Happy, Happy would have been drowned in the explosion along with the sports car. After all, this set of extended mecha could save him, but it might not be able to.
Save Happy...
"Fuck Fuck!" At the same time, Tony Stark in the Avengers base swore directly, and his whole body was ignited, as if he had been injected with the Extremis virus and went red-hot. How could he?
He didn't expect that these flame people would just stare at Pepper like this.
When Doctor Octopus announced his identity before, Tony Stark also thought that revealing his and Steve's identities would not have any impact. After all, no one dared to attack the Stark Group and Pepper.
But now, Tony Stark realizes more clearly that no matter what your identity is, as long as you lift the mask of a superhero, the people around you will be greatly affected, because some people are not so moral.
Those with brains will deal with your relatives and friends!
"I'll go with you to see if I can get some useful information. This step-by-step investigation is too slow!" Martian Manhunter on the side patted Tony Stark on the shoulder and said directly.
"Okay!" Tony Stark didn't bother to care about the Martian Manhunter peeking into his mind again. He now wanted to catch all the Flame People and stop letting anyone threaten Pepper!
"What the hell? Why does she still have a mecha with her?" On the other side, when he saw Pepper flying out of the sports car, a trace of confusion flashed in Xia En's eyes, and he was a little unable to react for a moment.
, so that he did not continue the subsequent attack.
After all, not to mention that Shane didn't know the details of the previous encounters between Matthews, Tony Stark, and Pepper. Even Killian didn't know either. Naturally, they couldn't synchronize the details of the encounter between Pepper and Tony Stark.
The latest information from the Avengers.
And when Pepper flew up, Shane didn't know what to do for a while. Although they could heat up their whole bodies and turn themselves into the appearance of burning men and lava, the Extremis virus did not give them the ability to fly, so
Looking at Pepper in the sky, Shane felt like he didn't know what to do.
"No! We've already taken action, we definitely can't stop!" However, when Shane saw that Pepper had not flown away, he gritted his teeth, condensed a ball of flame in his hand, and threw it at Pepper
the location of.
"Whoa!"
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, this ball of flames could not hit Pepper in the air. After it hit the air, there was a loud explosion, but it did not achieve anything.
"It's really troublesome! How about retreating?" Xia En saw Pepper dodge so easily, and instantly knew that he had no way to catch Pepper, so a new thought flashed in his mind.
After all, judging from the news delivered by Killian before, Matthews is dead. Since his attempt failed, it would be better to leave quickly, otherwise he is worried that he will follow in Matthews' footsteps...
"Where are you going? Tell me, why are you targeting me? Is it to target Tony?" Seeing Shane running in the other direction without looking back, Pepper had no intention of leaving.
, and even chased in the direction of Xia En, while constantly asking questions.
Pepper knew that Tony Stark must be on his way here now. His extended mecha didn't have much combat effectiveness, but he had to find a way to hold off Shane and figure out their purpose.
After all, Pepper doesn't want to have to encounter something like this every day in the future, which might make it impossible for him to live a normal life...
