I'm really not a superman in Marvel

In the conference room, the two had already sat back on their seats, and Killian was talking to Potts.

"Imagine being able to hack the hard drive of any creature and recode its DNA."

Killian was in high spirits, confidently describing his miraculous technology.

But Potts did not have the initial surprise and curiosity, and responded with a professional smile on his face:
"That's awesome."

Killian nodded after being affirmed by Potts, not noticing the change in the attitude of the woman in front of him at all.

In the next second, Potts changed his tone and said:

"But it's a pity that it is also very likely to be used in weapons, like super soldiers, private troops and the like. Tony will not treat these..."

Hearing Tony, Killian's face sank, and he interrupted:

"Tony, Tony... Actually, I asked him to join aim, 13 years ago, when he turned me down."

Saying that, Killian stared at Potts with profound eyes and said:
"But it's different now. There is another genius in charge of the high position. She is not under Tony's control, and she is not as arrogant as Tony."

Potts watched Killian quietly for a while, then said calmly:
"As much as I want to help you, Aldridge..."

After a pause, she smiled apologetically.

"But I still have to say no to you."

Hearing this, Killian didn't say anything anymore and offered to leave.

So Potts sent Killian downstairs.

When parting, Killian smiled and said to Potts:
"Honestly, I'm disappointed."

After a pause, he continued:

"But like my dad said, 'Success can be seen through the fog of failure'."

"It's very profound, I don't even understand what it means."

Potts also said with a smile.

"I don't know, maybe my dad is just a fool."

Hearing this, Potts lowered his head and smiled slightly.

"I'm sure we'll meet again, Pepper."

After speaking, Killian leaned forward and kissed Potts on the face, and then left.

And Potts stood where he was, watching Killian's leaving back, secretly thinking about the deep meaning of his last words.

……

Driving the car, Potts returned to the door, which was outside Tony's mansion.

Outside the door, a huge rabbit was sitting on the ground, holding a sign in both hands that said "Pepper, Merry Christmas!"

Seeing this, Potts suddenly laughed happily.

Walking into the room, she saw a pair of iron clothes sitting cross-legged on the sofa facing the door.

"Sorry, I'm late... why are you wearing it at home? Is this the 15th generation?"

Hearing this, Iron Man subconsciously looked at his arm, which was engraved with the words "Mark 42".

"right……"

Tony did not correct Potts' mistake, and said along the way:

"Basically, everyone has their hobbies anyway."

"Do you have to wear it to show off in the living room?"

Potts sat on the sofa and took off his shoes, complaining.

"I'm just getting used to it, you know it was a little tight at first."

After hearing this, Potts laughed helplessly.

"Hey! See your Christmas present?"

Seeing that Potts was happy, Tony took advantage of the situation and continued.

"Of course I saw it! How could I not see it? Can such a big Christmas gift be moved in?"

Potts replied casually.

Tony stood aside, reached out and gestured on the wall and said:

"Well, good question, I got a group of people, and they will come tomorrow and blow up this wall."

"Ok."

"So how are you doing today? Are you tired?"

Tony stepped forward, put both hands on Potts' shoulders and began to massage, and asked warmly:
"Shoulders are a bit tight, not good. Don't blame me for being wordy, I just want to know, do you like that big rabbit?"

"Ask me if I like it or not?"

"I like it very much, don't you?"

"Wow."

Potts turned around and stood up, approaching Iron Man and whispered:
"I appreciate your kindness, so why don't you take off the mask and give me a kiss?"

Iron Man froze for a moment, then tapped his head in a daze and said:

"Oops, can't open it. Or would you kiss the seam?"

Potts had a knowing smile on his face, tilted his head and said:

"I'd better go to the garage and find a crowbar to pry this thing open."

After finishing speaking, she walked towards the basement without hesitation.

Iron Man stood where he was, and shouted in a panic:
"Crowbar? Ah, don't go! There's a radiation leak!"

"I'm willing to take the risk!"

Potts walked quickly, and came to the stairs in the basement within a few steps.

"It's very dangerous!... At least put on biochemical protective clothing..."

Before he could finish speaking, Potts had already gone down to the basement and walked up to Tony who was talking, while Iron Clothes stood behind him, looking quite stupid.

It turned out that what greeted Potts was just a steel suit, and Tony's real body was still working in the basement.

"It was discovered."

Tony sneered.

"This is a whole new level of boredom!"

Potts was furious, glanced away, and immediately pointed to a plate of leftover food on the work table with even more anger:

"You invited me to dinner, but instead of waiting for me, you ate first?"

"Feel sorry."

Tony, who was caught, did not have the courage to speak loudly, and said weakly:
"I just... got some work done while entertaining you."

"Ah……"

For a while, Potts laughed angrily at Tony's words.

"Then I ate a little, because I didn't know if you were going home or... going out with Killian."

"what?"

Potts couldn't believe it.

"You spy on me?"

"Happy cares about you."

Tony hugged his chest with a straight face.

"No! You're spying on me! I'm going to bed."

The angry Potts turned around and left, while Tony stayed behind and said:
"Wait! Don't do that!"

But Potts, who was burning with anger, was completely unmoved, and was about to walk out of the basement without looking back.

Seeing this scene, Tony raised his hands and said guiltily:
"I admit, I was wrong, sorry!"

Hearing Tony's tone so sincere, Potts stopped and looked at Tony.

"I'm in a mess right now, I've been like this for a while... haven't told anyone about it yet."

Tony whispered dejectedly, and Potts came back with a look of concern.

"It's been like this since the events in New York..."

"is it?"

Potts looked at Tony with some concern and said:
"I didn't notice at all."

"I've experienced some things, and it's over, but I still can't tell the whole story."

Tony's tone dropped.

"Gods, aliens, different dimensions... and I'm just a human hiding in an iron shell!"

He paused and swallowed.

"The only reason I'm not broken yet is because you've moved in. It's so good, I'm so lucky, I love you. But honey..."

Tony looked at Potts with a painful expression on his face.

"I can't sleep. While you're asleep I'll be here to work, tinkering with armor. The threat is looming again..."

With that said, he took two deep breaths and continued:

"I must guard the most important treasure, and that is you."

Speaking, Tony pointed to Potts, and then his tone changed:

"But to be honest, I don't know if I or we can do it, the New York incident is actually not solved by Iron Man or the Avengers... As for my armor, they are..."

Tony drew a long tone, not knowing what words to use to describe it.

"machine."

"They're part of who I am."

Although Tony's voice was soft, his tone was extremely firm and authentic:

Potts stared at Tony for a long time before saying:
"You're diverting my attention."

"Maybe."

Tony gave a wry smile.

Potts didn't say anything more, and walked forward slowly, holding Tony in his arms.

……

At night, Tony shares the bed with Potts.

Tony trembled slightly in his sleep, indicating that everything that happened in the dream was not so good.

He saw many things, the culprits that reappeared in his dreams over and over again, so that he couldn't sleep.

Traveling from the Rubik's Cube in the universe.Holding a psychic scepter, Loki is always smiling sinisterly.

With blue skin and an alien armor, he is a superstar who captured everyone with just one thought.

Besieged by the crowd, the Hulk is chasing and killing the superstar in a frenzy.

Huge wormholes like eternal nightmares, and relentless and endless alien armies drilled out of them.

Holding a long gun, sitting on a speeding car, the alien soldier with a hideous face.

Hovering in the sky, the terrifying alien behemoth is so huge that it can block the sky and the sun, and can smash down buildings with a single blow.

And the red-eyed, crazy-looking young Asian man who appeared at the end, suppressing everyone with his hands and feet, like a god-Superboy.

In Tony's dream, Lynch was completely insane, slaughtering the citizens of New York like a god of death, killing the Avengers one by one to death.

And the last remaining Avenger is Tony. Being suppressed by his mental power, he can only watch Lynch walking towards him in despair.

"Tony, do you know why I saved you for the last one?"

Lynch grinned, revealing an extremely terrifying smile.

"I said it, right? I admire and like you the most...so I didn't pay attention to the 'anti-Superman armor', kryptonite and other research you secretly did."

"But I said that too, right? Don't think of me as a Superman kind of person..."

Accompanied by this sinister voice, the red light in front of Tony's eyes became brighter and hotter...

"Tony? Tony?"

Potts shook Tony, who was still asleep and had an ugly face, with a worried face.

At this moment, a steel palm grabbed Potts and pulled her aside.

"what!"

With a low cry, Tony woke up suddenly, and then found Potts caught by the steel suit.

He got up quickly, pointed at the steel suit with both hands and shouted:
"Turn off the power!"

The iron suit who received the order moved and stood at attention, his eyes lost their light.

Seeing this, Tony clasped his hands together, rushed forward and split the steel suit into parts all over the ground with a knife in his hand.

The two sat on the bed panting in shock, and after a while Tony frowned and explained:
"I must have summoned it in a dream. This shouldn't have happened. I'm going to recalibrate the sensor."

While explaining, Tony reached out his hand to comfort the frightened Potts.

"We can...let me...let me..."

Potts covered his face to avoid Tony's hand and stood aside.

"Take a breath, please? Don't go, please, Pepper."

"I'll go to sleep downstairs, you can fix it by yourself."

Potts didn't agree, but just gave Tony a cold look, and then walked out.

Seeing Potts leave, Tony fell down on the bed with his head in his arms, leaving only the steel suit scattered on the floor under the bed silently accompanying him.
