American Comics: The Invincible Wheel of Fortune

"Hey, Tony."

Aaron came to Tony Stark's underground garage, but there were no lights on.

And Tony was sitting in the convertible classic car that he tinkered with when he had nothing to do, looking at the huge virtual screen in front of him.

It is all about information about the whipping of Ivan Vanko and news about the Monaco incident.

"Here we come." Tony didn't look back, he just raised his hand and gestured.

Aaron frowned slightly when he heard this, feeling that Tony's life breath was getting weaker.

[One month... Judging from this speed, it is probably the limit. I hope Black Braised Egg can get things done this time, otherwise there is only...]

Aaron went straight to the ice bar, grabbed a bottle of drink, and handed Tony the horrible juice that he drank almost non-stop whenever he was awake.

"How's the situation in Monaco? It's difficult to see how busy Piper and your new assistant are, isn't it? You really can keep your composure."

With the news from Black Braised Eggs and having made up his mind, Aaron no longer asked about Tony's health like he did before.

"It's okay, Piper can handle it." Tony shrugged, making it clear that he was going to be the hands-off shopkeeper.

In fact, there is no way that Pepper Potts can hold it, but he will soon be unable to hold it.

The congressman presiding over the hearing, the one whose Hydra identity was later revealed, started grabbing Tony by the pigtails again.

On the army side, Colonel Roddy is also trying every means to excuse Tony.

But after all, he is just a colonel, he is soft-spoken, and he is no longer a "personal friend of the largest arms supplier to the army", and he will soon be unable to hold back the army that is ready to move.

"Let's not talk about those troublesome things." Tony made two gestures, and the virtual screen in front of him closed. Then the lights came on, and the garage returned to light.

"I have something to tell you." Tony didn't stand up, he just turned sideways and looked at Aron who was leaning against the car door on the other side.

"Yeah." Aaron also looked at Tony, indicating that he was listening.

Tony paused again, the color on his face changed, and finally he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Would you like to be called Iron Man?"

...It was Aaron who stared at Tony silently, speechless for a long time.

Aaron really didn't expect Tony to say that. This was... Tuogu.

Let Pepper become the CEO of the Stark Group, which is an explanation to the Stark Group. After all, it is the hard work of two generations of Starks, and it is likely to become the legacy of the Stark family. It is the first thing to ensure The inheritance and continuation of the group.

Then there is the Iron Suit, the crystallization of Tony's lifelong experience and wisdom, a work that is like his child.

Except for the most trustworthy one, Pepper Potts, who was entrusted to the Stark Group.

That leaves Happy, a big fat guy who is loyal and caring, but has average abilities. But Happy is also the bodyguard Tony left for Piper.

There is also Colonel Roddy, who is a close friend but a soldier and has always had some conflicts of ideas regarding the Stark Group's suspension of arms sales.

Then there is Alon, a person who has not known him for a long time, but has saved his life, helped him more than once, and has a lot in common with him in all aspects, and his ability and character have been verified by him. friend.

Moreover, Aaron has witnessed the birth of the Iron Suit from the beginning and even put forward many opinions, which gave Tony a lot of inspiration. In Tony's opinion, he is the first candidate to inherit the Iron Suit.

Although Aaron is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Colonel Roddy is even more of a soldier.

To Colonel Roddy, it was to silence the military.

For Aaron, it was a friend-to-friend deal with SHIELD.

After all, it is paving the way for Pepper. The strength and status revealed by SHIELD are worthy of the military. It doesn't matter which company you choose.

So Aron was ranked in front of Colonel Rody this time.

Tony had been using his steel suit to lure Aaron into following him.

Aaron has always been unmoved by external things, which is one of the reasons why Tony values ​​Aaron.

Then recently, Gwen was given the Hunter Suit Mark.II with flight capabilities, but not Aaron.

He also insisted on dragging Aron to appear in public together, all because of this consideration.

If Black Braised Egg is here, I'm afraid he won't be overjoyed, or he will hold his head and pinch his neck, making Aaron immediately nod and agree. No matter what, he will give SHIELD a steel suit first.

Even if the black braised egg was a thousand times stronger, it wouldn't be able to press it.

But Aaron was silent, a little at a loss, and felt a little ashamed of Tony's attention.

Not to mention Aaron's spoiler gesture, we know that Tony, one of the local protagonists of luck, will definitely save the day this time.

Not to mention that Aron's current strength no longer requires the steel suit. This time he has the superpower talent of the Mass Effect world, and even has the ability to fly.

It's just that Aaron has none of these and is just Tony's friend, so he doesn't want to inherit the Iron Suit.

If Tony has no problem and just wants to find a righteous partner, Aaron will consider it.

But in this case of being left alone, Aaron does not feel that he can inherit this concept and become the inheritance of the spirit represented by Iron Man.

As the most orthodox soldier, Colonel Roddy did not agree with Tony's ideas, so he could only seek common ground while reserving differences and let him put on a steel suit, but he became a war machine.

But what Tony asked Aaron was to make Aaron the second Iron Man.

But in Aaron's opinion, Iron Man will only be Tony Stark.

Aaron has never considered himself a superhero, let alone Iron Man.

Aaron couldn't fulfill this request, so he couldn't agree.

"Is your physical condition so serious that you can't wait for a solution?"

Aaron, who was silent for a long time, finally spoke, but did not directly answer Tony's question.

But Tony just shook his head and smiled dejectedly: "If nothing else happens, this will be my last birthday party."

"Tony..."

"There's no need for this. If sympathy is useful, I hope you can sympathize with me 24/7. Now, I just want to know your answer."

"Tony, in my heart, you are the only Iron Man."

Aaron looked at Tony seriously, shook his head slowly, and said sincerely.

"You kid, if you're afraid of trouble, just say you're afraid of trouble. Forget it, just don't regret it, kid... Well, it doesn't matter if you regret it. I'm still saying that, my proposal is always valid... Hey, even though it's timely now ”

The most important thing in making friends is heart-to-heart communication. Tony knew that Aaron understood what he meant.

In turn, Tony also understood what Aaron meant.

That's why Tony didn't feel ashamed after being rejected, but was very happy that he had a friend who recognized him, his actions, and his achievements so much that he was worthy of being Iron Man this time.

"Then, just have a birthday party with me."

"Of course... I think I should go. See you tomorrow, Tony."

Aaron gestured with his eyes in the direction of the entrance to the garage. There was a scurrying African-American soldier there, with anger and a lawsuit on his face, pressing the door code hard.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Tony waved his hand and opened the virtual screen again.

"Colonel Roddy."

"Agent Walker."

Aaron and Colonel Roddy passed by and nodded to each other. Not far from the garage, they heard Colonel Roddy say in a rather frustrated voice: "Tony, you must do something immediately to control the situation! Army Can’t wait!”
