The alternative in Marvel

The Stark Tower is an iconic building in New York. Adrian was stopped by Happy in a wheelchair in the lobby on the first floor. He was not allowed to enter because he did not have an ID badge.

"Happy went to work?" Stark asked after hearing Adrian's words.

"You know, Happy can't sit still," Pepper explained.

"Mr. Ghost, please give Happy the phone."

"Stark is looking for you." Adrien handed the phone to Happy.

"gentlemen?"

"Let him in."

"But……"

"It's okay. But you, don't you need to rest for a while?"

"I'm fine."

"it is good."

"You can go in. Turn right ahead and take the innermost elevator. The password is 7963. This is your temporary badge."

"Thank you."

Happy kept watching Adrian enter the elevator before turning back to the lobby.

"Breast badge, badge..." Happy kept reminding the employees.

……

The elevator goes directly to the top floor.

"It's really not easy to come to your place." Adrian said.

"Welcome, our Mr. Ghost."

"I should have told you my name."

"That identity information that was discovered just a few months ago? I can report you now and maybe get part of the reward."

"Since when did Mr. Stark, the billionaire, care about this little money?"

“I’m a budget-conscious person now.”

"Whatever!"

"Mr. Ghost, your coffee." At this time, Pepper handed Adrian a cup of coffee.

"Just call me Adrien."

"Okay, Mr. Adrian, tell me what you have to say. I'm very grateful that you saved us several times. What do you want in return?"

"I want to ask you a favor, and I'm going to say it's two favors."

"I'm listening."

"First, I need a prosthetic arm." Adrian dispelled the illusion spell on his left arm, revealing half of his skeletal arm.

"Oh, my God!" Pepper was shocked. She saw that the skeletal arm without muscle and nerve connections not only did not fall apart, but could also move at will.

"Although I've seen it once before, I still can't believe it when I look at it again. And the monster you summoned last time. These things remind me of a profession that only exists in novels and games, the Necromancer. ."

"Actually, I prefer the name Soul Mage."

"Is there really a profession like a mage?"

"The collective name should be mystics."

"Then are there any mystics on earth that you mentioned? How come I haven't seen them before?"

"Before Thor arrived on Earth, people only regarded him as a mythical figure."

"Okay, it doesn't matter. Let's return to the previous topic, what kind of prosthetic leg do you want?"

"Just refer to the arms of the steel armor. It can have some built-in weapons. It would be better if it has bionic skin."

"Bionic skin? Then you should ask Dr. Horton Radcliffe. As far as I know, he is an expert in this field."

"I don't think Dr. Horton would accept a request from a stranger, and since I need a prosthetic weapon to be weaponized, I guess he's not as good as you in that regard."

"I feel the same way! I can help with this one, but what about the second thing?"

"I need a set of steel armor."

"impossible!"

The Iron Armor is Stark's treasure. In order to deal with the official and to make his friends not trapped in the middle, he gave the first-generation Mark 2 to Rody. He even ignored S.H.I.E.L.D.'s requests.

"I saved your life."

"You also pushed me to the bright side."

"You know the Mandarin will never let you go."

"Let him come."

"A little Killian put Pepper into a dangerous situation. As for the real Mandarin, you don't even know what he looks like or where he lives. How can you fight against it? Continue to use the people around you as bait ?”

"I would never do that!"

"Can you guard Pepper 24 hours a day?"

"..."

"We need to continue to work together."

"Then?"

"My current strength is somewhat limited and I need external help, and the steel armor is the best help I can think of at the moment."

"I promise you."

"Huh?" Adrian didn't expect Stark to agree so quickly.

Adrien was obviously overjoyed. As he spoke, Stark summoned the right arm of his armor and fired an energy cannon at Adrien. Seeing that something was wrong, Adrian summoned the Stitch Monster to stand in front of Pepper, and then summoned 5 skeleton soldiers to attack Stark from multiple directions.

The energy cannon hit Adrien and was absorbed by the ring.

……

"Stop!" Just as the skeleton soldiers were about to rush to Stark's side, Stark shouted stop.

Confused, Adrien stopped the skeleton soldiers, but still surrounded Stark.

"Stark, what do you mean?" Adrian was a little angry.

"I saw the ring on your right hand and I wanted to try it on."

"Is that why?" Sure enough, there is a thin line between genius and madman.

"Otherwise? But your method is novel. What are they driven by?" Looking at the five skeleton soldiers around him, Stark was amazed.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll attack Pepper first?"

Adrien turned to Pepper and said, "Pepper, please consider my opinion and find another boyfriend. He is very unreliable."

"Gudong~" Pepper didn't hear Adrien's words at all. She was frightened by the 2-meter-tall Stitch Monster. She didn't know if it was an illusion. She just saw the Stitch Monster smiling at her.

"You won't do anything to her."

"You just trust me so much?"

"Okay, take back these... things." Stark really didn't know what to call these skeleton soldiers.

"Tony!" When Adrian took back the skeleton soldiers, Pepper finally came to his senses and got mad at Stark.

"Honey, everything is under control."

"Pepper, really consider my opinion."

"That's enough! I want to go out and get some air!" Pepper's mind was a little down and she needed to calm down.

"Are you satisfied now?" Stark said dissatisfiedly when he saw that he had made Pepper angry again.

Adrian spread his hands: "It seems you caused this incident."

"Why can you use that ring?" He tried the electromagnetic pulse ring captured by Stark. When worn on his hand, it was no different from an ordinary ring and did not gain any abilities.

"Rings have strict requirements for the wearer. Don't look at me. I don't know the principle. I just have a few rings and tried them on. I happened to find one that suits me." As he said this, Adrian took out the other rings he had obtained. ring.

"You want my steel armor? Yes, but I also have some conditions."

"tell me the story."

"Give these rings of yours to Pepper to try, and if you get similar rings in the future, Pepper can try them on first." After this kidnapping incident, Stark tried every means to increase Pepper's strength. The rescue armor was one aspect. , now with this magical ring, he has a new direction.

"I don't have a problem. The problem is how do you get an angry Pepper back now?"
