To be honest, Pepper has long been used to the ridiculous things Tony Stark did when he was young. When she worked as a secretary for Tony Stark, she even helped him deal with those who had just undergone major life changes.
Harmonious female model.
But it's different now. She, Pepper, is already the mistress of the Stark family. She naturally has to make some attitudes, so Pepper looked at the embarrassed Tony Stark and said calmly: "Two times in a row today.
Something happened. I'm a little tired, so I'll rest first. You can go back and deal with that thing about the Flame Man..."
"Don't!" Tony Stark couldn't help but feel bitter. He was tricked by Jarvis again. Even Tony Stark was wondering whether Jarvis did it on purpose.
"Tony, the things about the Flame People are more important. After all, you don't want me to be worried all day long, right? Only at home, I can feel a little more at ease..." Pepper saw Tony Stark with a bitter look on his face.
, chuckled somewhat complacently, and then looked at Tony Stark and said seriously.
"It's not necessarily safe at home!" After hearing Pepper's words, Tony Stark's expression suddenly changed. He looked around his house and said to Jarvis, "Jarvis! Simulate it.
If a fireman wants to break into this house, can he do it?"
"Okay, sir." Jarvis responded. This time he did not joke again, but began to calculate seriously, and quickly gave an answer, "If it is a flame man, it may be necessary
It takes a while to rush in. If there are two flame men, they can collapse the house in about two minutes. As for three or more, it is basically like no one's land..."
"The house is really unsafe!" Tony Stark sighed helplessly after hearing Jarvis's words. His house was already using top-quality materials, and even Tony Stark had specially reinforced it.
But no matter how hard it is reinforced, it cannot survive the fire bombardment of extraordinary levels, otherwise the destructive power of the extraordinary world cannot be so powerful.
Let’s put it this way, your house is built to be lived in. No matter how strong you are, can you withstand bomb blasts? Even if you can withstand bombs, what about missiles? With continuous bombing, your house will eventually be destroyed, right?
?
Now Tony Stark is aware of this problem. His house is actually not that safe. Unless Tony Stark is prepared to rebuild the house with special materials like the Avengers base training room, something will always happen in the face of an attack.
of.
Moreover, even if the house is rebuilt with that special material, there will be a new problem, that is, that special material does not include windows. The house cannot be without windows, right? Lighting and ventilation are also very important, if it is just
Physical health problems can be solved with advanced technology, but if it is a depressed psychological problem, it will be very troublesome. After all, Tony Stark does not want Pepper to live in an environment like a prison cell...
"Trouble!" Thinking of this, Tony Stark had a headache for a while. He didn't know how to completely ensure the safety of Pepper's residence. Even if a secret room is built, people cannot stay in a closed room all the time.
In the secret room!
"There's no need to worry so much. With your mecha here, even if I fall asleep when I'm in danger, Jarvis can take me away safely, right?" Pepper saw Tony Stark who had a headache.
, came over and pressed his head, and gently comforted him, "Your top priority now is to deal with the matters of those flame people first. As long as they are resolved, don't you no longer need to worry about my safety? After all, the world
Where is the truth about guarding against thieves for a thousand days?"
"That's right. We still have to deal with those Flame People completely first!" Tony Stark nodded after hearing this. His fingers lightly touched his chest a few times, and a set of mechas spread again.
After reaching his body, the mecha began to liquefy and poured into Pepper's watch.
"This material can give you a certain ability to protect yourself. If you encounter trouble again, you can try to attack the opponent from a distance, instead of just shouting in mid-air like before..."
"It's still too much trouble. Then you can ask Jarvis to help me with the operation. I'm not good at this." Pepper shook his head slowly and said softly, "Okay, you go ahead and solve it as soon as possible. I'll give it to you."
A surprise for you..."
"Surprise? What is a surprise?" Tony Stark's eyes lit up and he looked at Pepper with excitement and asked.
"I told you it was a surprise, how can it be a surprise?" Pepper rolled her eyes at Tony Stark angrily, turned and walked into the room, and winked at Tony Stark before entering.
.
If this scene happened to a normal middle-aged couple, the husband would probably have nightmares for a few nights. But Tony Stark is not an ordinary person. Although he does not have extraordinary strength, he is in good health! He has not suffered any losses due to his youthful squandering.
, at least Tony Stark himself thinks so!
Therefore, Tony Stark became excited on the spot. He felt as if he was in high spirits. He put on the mecha and returned to the Avengers base, ready to investigate Killian's current location.
It's a pity that some things can't be accomplished with excitement. After Tony Stark tried hard, he still couldn't find Killian's location. It can only be said that Killian seems to have known about the exposure of his men, so
Well hidden.
As for the base where Killian and the others were located, it had been evacuated a long time ago. Tony Stark even made a special trip and found nothing. This made Tony Stark distressed again.
Kilian did discover the failure of his plan, because he was always the one to contact his subordinates to give orders, and there was no situation where his subordinates contacted him at all. One after another Flame Man was killed when he went out.
Even though they were forced to take action, they did not contact Killian, but only told Killian after returning to the base.
Of course, there is another key reason why Killian is sure that something happened to his men, that is, Killian has injected anti-heat positioning devices under the skin of these men, but these positioning devices have been discovered by Martian Manhunter.
To prevent the Avengers base from being exposed, Martian Manhunter will naturally destroy these devices.
Obviously, the destruction of the device either means that his subordinates were exposed, or that his subordinates lost control of their abilities and died directly. No matter which one it is, it means that Killian no longer needs to take care of these subordinates and is waiting for the next action.
Just chance.
Therefore, the Avengers have been researching for several days, but there are no clues about the Flame Man. This has made Tony Stark unable to sleep well for several days, and even Pepper felt a little depressed.
Fortunately, things took a new turn a week later, or in other words, Pepper was attacked again...
During this week, Pepper had not had a good rest at first, fearing that she would be attacked by the Flame Man again, but later Tony Stark told Pepper that the Flame Man should be hidden for the time being, and she should not worry too much.
Under such comfort, Pepper finally relaxed for two days, but on the way home on the third day of relaxation, Pepper was attacked again, in the same location, with the same formula...
No, the formula seems to be a little different this time. At least in Pepper's eyes, the Pyroman who attacked him seems to have become more powerful this time. Not only is the power of the explosion astonishing, but the intensity of the body and flames are also astonishing.
It was even more powerful, leaving Pepper at a loss for a while...
And this is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is that with the appearance of Flame Man this time, Jarvis was directly disconnected, which forced Pepper to awkwardly start driving the mecha and find a way to escape here first.
.
As for counterattacks, Pepper had not thought about it. After all, she was not even very proficient in controlling mechas. How could she deal with a Flame Man who looked more powerful?
Now Pepper has only one idea in her mind, and that is to delay as much time as possible. She believes that Tony Stark will definitely find something abnormal on Jarvis's side and come to save her!
However, what Pepper didn't expect was that someone did come to save her, but this was not Tony Stark, but a mysterious man wearing a cloak and a fish tank-shaped helmet.
This mysterious man seemed to be very powerful. As soon as he appeared, he sprayed out strange gas from his hand, instantly suppressing the Flame Man. Even the gas and energy released by the mysterious man seemed to be able to restrain the Flame Man.
The flames on the Flame Man actually began to slowly extinguish.
"Who is this? Someone from the Avengers? But why haven't I heard Tony mention it before?" Pepper looked at the mysterious man in the distance, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but muttered.
It is true that Tony Stark will not tell too many secrets of the Avengers or too many extraordinary events, but Pepper, a member of the Avengers, must know, at least his abilities and their respective code names, even if
Pepper is also aware of the fringe character Doctor Octopus.
But Pepper had never heard of this mysterious man who suddenly appeared in front of her, which made Pepper hesitate for a moment, especially because the timing of his appearance was too coincidental. This was near her home and there were no one around.
Why did the mysterious man just appear here and save her?
Several consecutive extraordinary attacks made Pepper become wary. She did not relax her vigilance just because the mysterious man seemed to have saved her. She distanced herself from the battlefield while trying to contact Tony Stark.
But unfortunately, she still couldn't contact Tony Stark, and Jarvis was still not online.
At the same time, among the Avengers, when he learned that Jarvis on Pepper's side was suddenly disconnected, Tony Stark was instantly anxious. He was wearing a mecha and was ready to fly over to rescue Pepper. As for the Martian Manhunter,
Tony Stark didn't scream, because he knew that even if Martian Manhunter passed by, he wouldn't be able to take action, so he might as well go by himself...
"Huh? What's going on? Tony, where are you going in such a hurry?" Just when Tony Stark was about to leave the Avengers base, Robert came back with Kara. He looked at Tony Stark
Ke asked doubtfully.
"Saiyan, you came just in time! Pepper was attacked, right over my house, you are fast, take me there quickly!" When Tony Stark saw Robert, his eyes suddenly opened.
As soon as the light comes on, Martian Manhunter is unreliable, but Robert is much more reliable. Even if Pepper is really attacked and seriously injured, Robert can save Pepper as long as he still has breath. This brings Robert with him.
Teco is ten thousand times more useful than bringing Martian Manhunter with you!
"Jarvis shows you the way! I'll take you there!" Robert frowned and didn't waste time speaking. He directly picked up Tony Stark's mecha and flew towards his home. Kara also
He followed behind with a serious face.
"When you have a new person, you forget about the old one. I was very serious about helping you before!" Martian Manhunter, who heard Tony Stark's thoughts, looked at the direction where Tony Stark and others left and muttered, then looked again
He frowned in the direction of Tony Stark's house and said, "Who is this guy? There is so much movement, but why do you feel that the state of this flame man seems to be a little different? Could it be that there is a new one of the Extremis virus?
progress?"
"Huh?" On the other side, at Robert's speed, he quickly flew to the vicinity of Tony Stark's house, and also saw Pepper and another battlefield, but Robert quickly frowned, especially
It was when he saw that the Flame Man was completely wiped out that Robert frowned even more tightly.
"Buzz!", the next moment, Robert's mind moved, and he directly moved Pepper with his telekinesis, and sent it to Tony Stark's side. He said to the three of them: "Wait for me here.
For a moment, I'll go over and have a look..."
"Who is that? Pepper, did he save you?" Tony Stark looked in the direction of the mysterious man with some confusion, then looked at Pepper and asked.
"It seems so, but I always feel that that guy appeared too coincidental." Pepper nodded first, then shook his head and whispered.
"Where did this extraordinary person come from? Jarvis, do you have any information on him?" Tony Stark asked Jarvis.
"No, sir, it seems to be the first time he appeared. The battle just now was only at the end, and his abilities were not included..." Jarvis's voice quickly rang, directed at Tony Star.
Ke opened his mouth and said.
"As for the reason why I was disconnected from Ms. Pepper before, it seems that there are some shielding and interference signals around, which not only blocked the signal between me and the program, but also interfered with the normal operation of the program..."
"What a coincidence, isn't it?" After hearing Jarvis's words, Tony Stark also frowned, looked in the direction of the mysterious man and said, "Come on, let's go over and take a look..."
"Stay there and don't come over!" At the same time, Robert's voice stopped the three people who were about to take action.
