"Yes, Maya Hansen, a botanist friend, not very close," Tony Stark explained to Pepper as he stepped out of the Iron Man Armor.
It was actually quite something that he remembered who Maya Hansen was.
"Don't tell me there's a 12-year-old boy I've never met waiting for me in the car," Tony Stark muttered to Maya Hansen.
"He's 13 now!" Maya Hansen corrected, making Tony Stark shudder.
"Just kidding, I need your help!" Maya Hansen quickly added, which made Tony Stark's expression ease up a bit.
"Help? With what?"
"Because I read the papers, and frankly, I don't think you'll make it through this week!"
"I'm fine!" Tony Stark said seriously to Maya Hansen.
"Sorry, Happy's in the hospital, I didn't expect any guests!" Pepper walked over to them.
"Not guests!" Tony Stark immediately corrected Pepper.
"So, lovers then! Not bad!"
"She's not really."
"No, I'm more like a one-night stand at best."
"That's one of your accomplishments, right?"
It was clear that Pepper and Tony Stark were indeed in the middle of an argument. As they spoke, they began to bicker again, right in front of Maya Hansen.
Maya Hansen couldn't even get a word in edgewise, and could only wait awkwardly to the side.
Suddenly, Maya Hansen saw on the security camera feed displayed on the wall-mounted TV screen that a missile was heading towards Stark's Villa.
However, Tony Stark and Pepper were still arguing, completely oblivious.
"Both of you! Both of you, shouldn't we be a little concerned about that?" Maya Hansen interrupted their argument, pointing at the TV screen.
Tony Stark and Pepper finally turned their heads to look at the TV screen, their expressions changing.
The hearts of everyone present couldn't help but skip a beat.
Looks like I'll need to install a proper security system at home when I get back. Tony Stark silently made this decision.
Now, his Villa was just a regular rich person's Villa, unable to withstand even bullets, let alone missiles.
Any armed individual with a gun could force their way in.
Previously, because of Tony Stark's identity, he basically wouldn't encounter such a situation, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.
But now, this video clip served as a reminder to Tony Stark.
At this moment, the screen switched views.
The scene shifted to outside the Villa.
A missile, with a long trail of smoke, shot straight towards Tony Stark's seaside Villa.
Boom! It slammed into the Villa's wall.
Boom!
And then it exploded directly.
The violent explosion burst open instantly.
Tony Stark and Pepper were the first to be knocked over by the powerful shockwave.
While Tony Stark was in the air, he wasn't idle. He immediately made a gesture, signaling to Pepper.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh! The various parts of the Iron Man Armor began to spew flames, firing towards Pepper. In an instant, the armor was fully deployed, completely enveloping Pepper.
Boom! Only then did Tony Stark and Pepper slam heavily into the wall and fall to the ground.
Pepper, protected by the Iron Man Armor, didn't feel anything. Tony Stark, however, was tossed around and disoriented.
The people at the scene couldn't help but look at Tony Stark with some admiration.
In this life-or-death crisis, Tony Stark completely disregarded his own safety and prioritized rescuing Pepper.
This said a lot.
In that moment, everyone saw a side of Tony Stark that was different from the arrogant, self-absorbed image he usually presented.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The sound of rapidly spinning helicopter blades filled the air as four helicopters streaked across the sky, heading towards Tony Stark's Villa.
The face of one of the pilots was revealed, and it was none other than their "old acquaintance," Savin, the one who had hijacked the President on Air Force One.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Several missiles began to rain down on Stark's Villa, completely demolishing it.
"Go, get her out of here!"
Tony Stark yelled to Pepper in the ruins, but he was temporarily trapped because the ground had cracked. "I'll find a way to catch up! Go!"
Pepper knew that lingering would harm both herself and others, so she stopped talking and helped Maya Hansen, who had been knocked unconscious by the explosion, and quickly left the Villa.
Boom, boom, boom! Continuous explosions sounded incessantly.
As soon as Pepper got out of the Villa, it began to collapse over a large area, turning into a ruin.
"Tony!" Pepper shouted anxiously.
Tony Stark himself was desperately struggling in the constantly collapsing and tilting Villa.
"Sir, Miss Pepper has safely left!" Jarvis reminded him.
Tony Stark's spirits lifted, and he immediately made a unique gesture. The Iron Man Armor on Pepper's body began to detach piece by piece.
The armor flew onto Tony Stark, and he quickly suited up, transforming into Iron Man.
Brrrrt! Brrrrt! Brrrrt!
At this moment, several aircraft outside had surrounded him, opening fire on Iron Man from all directions with Gatling Guns, unleashing a storm of bullets.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The bullets all struck the Iron Man Armor, creating sparks.
Whew! Everyone on the scene couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, their hearts that had been in their throats finally relaxing a little.
Even though it was just a recording, it still felt like a roller coaster ride, thrilling them to the extreme.
The situation just now was truly perilous; if he had been even half a second slower, Tony Stark would have been riddled with bullets.
Suddenly, the Iron Man Armor, now donned, tried to take off, but found it couldn't fly at all.
"Jarvis, where's my flight capability?" Tony Stark couldn't help but ask.
"Sir, I'm working on it; this is just a prototype!" Jarvis replied.
Well, it seemed he couldn't fly for now. Tony Stark could only continue to brave the hail of bullets and fight those helicopters head-on.
At this moment, a piano slid down from the tilted ground. The Iron Man Armor was quick, firing a repulsor ray to blow it away.
The piano arced beautifully through the air, slamming into a helicopter and taking it down.
"First one!" Iron Man exclaimed excitedly. Then, he took out a second plane with a missile.
Unfortunately, Iron Man had only managed to destroy those two planes before the entire Villa was completely reduced to ruins by the enemy's bombardment.
The whole thing collapsed, sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Iron Man himself was buried under the sea, along with the ruins, tragically pinned beneath heavy debris, unable to move.
Savin and the Mandarin's henchmen, seeing the entire Villa completely obliterated, took off in their helicopter.
Iron Man himself had fallen unconscious at the bottom of the ocean.
The key issue remained: the Iron Man Armor had no air supply!
Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but be curious. Iron Man was buried under the sea, calling for help was useless, and he was unconscious.
How could he possibly escape in this situation?
However, what the Iron Man Armor did next completely blew everyone away.
The right arm of the Iron Man Armor detached itself from Tony Stark's suit, grabbed hold of Tony Stark's hand, and pulled Iron Man himself out of the wreckage!
Awesome!
The crowd almost couldn't resist applauding. No one expected the Iron Man Armor could do this.
It was an incredible move!
"What a truly ingenious design!"
Even Tony Stark himself couldn't help but be amazed, his eyes practically gleaming with admiration for the modular design.
If it weren't for this brilliant design, he, the billionaire genius playboy Tony Stark, would have died a rather miserable death at the bottom of the sea.
"Flight power restored!"
Jarvis's voice rang out. At this crucial moment, the flight power finally returned, and the Iron Man Armor shot out of the ocean with a whoosh.
It transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the smoke-filled sky.
The image froze at this point.
"That's an impressive suit, Stark!" Dr. Banner immediately said to Tony Stark with immense admiration. ...
The modular assembly of the Iron Man Armor left a deep impression on Dr. Banner.
If it weren't for this ingenious design, Pepper might have been killed instantly, and Tony Stark, even if he hadn't drowned underwater later, would have been blown up in the earlier hail of bullets.
Not to mention, in the previous footage, it was also because of this modular assembly that Killian suffered a fatal injury.
This design was truly brilliant.
"Actually, there's still a lot of room for improvement!" Tony Stark couldn't help but be a little pretentious.
"Stark, that Maya Hansen saw the newspaper, so she specifically sought you out, and you also prepared at home. It seems the news that the Ten Rings were going to deal with you is already known by everyone."
"It's possible they declared war on you in advance."
Hawkeye said to Tony Stark in a low voice at this moment.
This is typical terrorist behavior. Many terrorists like to play this game: "announce" their upcoming terrorist attack, then attract global attention.
They then act under the gaze of the entire world.
Whether they succeed or fail, they can greatly boost their presence and enhance their reputation.
The attack of the Ten Rings against Tony Stark, it seems, might have been the same.
"That's not important, and I'm not interested in knowing. In short, all of this won't happen again because, in my case, the Mandarin is already dead," Tony Stark said decisively.
This question made him even more determined to eliminate the Mandarin!
Everyone present silently mourned for the Mandarin.
Who wouldn't you provoke? Why did you have to provoke Tony Stark? Isn't that just asking for death?
Frankly, this question didn't reveal much information and there wasn't much to analyze or summarize.
Everyone started chatting casually for a few sentences, then began discussing other questions.
Soon after, a new question appeared.
[Question: Vision's creation was a collaborative effort. Which of the following individuals did NOT contribute to Vision's creation?]
[A, Ultron]
[B, Bruce Banner]
[C, Captain America]
[D, Thor]
[Friendly reminder: Those who answer correctly will receive the latest version of the Saiyan Battle Suit;
Those who answer incorrectly will have one of their attributes randomly deducted, including but not limited to knowledge, experience, skills, possessions, etc…]
Vision!
The appearance of a new question made everyone on the scene feel excited. They didn't expect the question to be about Vision.
Vision had always been a mystery to everyone.
Everyone had seen a glimpse of Vision's abilities.
He could fly and emit powerful energy blasts from his forehead. Although not much was shown, his power was deeply ingrained in everyone's minds.
However, everyone had extremely limited information about Vision. Besides the fact that he used Jarvis, they basically didn't have any other intelligence.
Regarding the origins of this big shot, everyone was in the dark.
But this question directly revealed the origin of Vision.
How could everyone not be excited?
Even without answering the question, everyone had already obtained a very important piece of information: Vision was indeed created by someone, and not just one person!
It was the result of multiple parties working together.
This also coincided with everyone's previous speculation.
"So we can now confirm that Vision is indeed a very advanced robot!" Tony Stark looked at the big screen and shrugged.
"The key is, who exactly created such a powerful robot," Captain America said in a deep voice.
Captain America was usually quite resistant to the creation of powerful monsters by artificial means.
And whenever such an entity appeared, he would be more vigilant than most.
"It's a shame Stark isn't an option," Thor said, shaking his head regretfully. "From what it seems, Stark participated in the creation of Vision."
Everyone present generally agreed with this point.
Since Tony Stark had used Jarvis on Vision, and now everyone knew that Vision was the result of a collaboration between several big shots, a natural and logical conclusion could be drawn:
Tony Stark was also one of Vision's creators.
