Clarke

If someone told Tony a minute ago that someone's eyes could shoot lasers, Tony wouldn't mind putting on the suit and teaching him a lesson to let him know the consequences of teasing him.

But if someone said that now, Tony would just laugh and ask him what color the laser was.

The worldview that Tony has maintained for 38 years is about to collapse now.

Tony sat back on the bus behind him, confused as he looked at Clark who looked like he was taking apart a Lego toy in front of him.

"Jarvis, who is that person? No, is that really a human being?" Tony swallowed.

"Actually, you still know him, sir." A photo appeared in the helmet. "The information shows that the person in front of you is named William Davis. He is an outstanding master's student who graduated from Columbia University and is currently working in a private research institute."

Jarvis paused and pulled up another photo from the newspaper. "But actually, by comparison I think he's Clark Kent. The next Tony Stark in Kansas."

In the distance, Clark's eyes fired red lasers again. With his sight, Stan's left arm armor was cut open. He held Stan's left arm with both hands and pulled off the front half of his left arm along the crack like tearing beef jerky. He threw it away. aside.

Tony saw it and said, "I don't think Tony Stark can tear the armor apart with his bare hands." After that, he stood up and called Pepper.

"Where are you Pepper?"

"Thank God you're okay" Pepper breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm with Agent Coulson, he said their backup should be arriving, did you see that?"

Tony glanced at Stan, who was lying on the ground with only limbs torn to pieces, and said, "Give the phone to that agent."

Coulson took the phone.

"Is Clark Kent one of yours?" Tony got straight to the point.

Coulson widened his eyes slightly in surprise, "Yes sir, he is considered our non-staff member."

Clark stepped on Stan's armor with one foot, put the five fingers of one hand together and stabbed directly into the armor. He found the wires of the reactor in the armor and pulled out the reactor with a strong tug.

Stan's armor lost energy, and the lights went out with a "buzz" sound. The chest of the armor opened, and Stan slumped inside, watching Clark shout in panic: "Who are you?"

Tony saw this and said thank you to Coulson before hanging up the phone and immediately stood up and rushed to Clark's side.

"Wait don't hurt him"

Clark stopped his intention to pull Stan out and looked at Tony without saying a word.

Tony was a little panicked, "Wait a minute, I'll pay for the motorcycle. I have something else to ask him." He walked up to Stan and looked at Stan with a complicated expression.

“Why do this?”

Obadiah Stan opened his eyes with difficulty. The "tearing of beef jerky" just now obviously hurt him.

He glanced at Tony, pointed to the "Stark Group" on the Stark Group's office building and said: "I have served you for 30 years, and I have served Howard for 20 years. This company was founded by me. It's called Stark, Stark."

Tony looked at Stan in disbelief, "Just for this, I will give all my power to you, I trust you so much"

Stan squinted his eyes and looked at Tony, "Oh, Tony, you are a genius just like your father. How can geniuses understand us?"

Stan turned to look at Clark. He wanted to say something but didn't say anything. He looked up at the Manhattan night sky where stars could not be seen due to air pollution. He relaxed his hands and closed his eyes.

Clark thought Stan was dead, so he turned on the X-ray and found that Stan had just fainted, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tony woke up from his grief and said to Clark: "Hello, Mr. Kent, I hope we can meet and talk in a few days. Now I have to deal with the mess."

Clark nodded, his motorcycle indeed needed compensation.

A few days later, Clark was sitting having breakfast in the apartment, watching Tony on TV, thinking about what Tony should say to distance himself.

At the press conference, after James Roddy finished talking a lot of nonsense, he said: "Now, Mr. Stark is going to make a statement. He will not answer reporters' questions, thank you."

Tony walked onto the stage and said, "The last press conference was a long time ago, so I'd better read it as written."

The reporters below laughed at Tony's cold joke. Only one female reporter looked at Tony coldly.

Tony cleared his throat, "Some people suspect that I was involved in the highway and the rooftop last night..."

The sneering female reporter below raised her hand and said: "Sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Stark, do you really think we will believe your lies? One of your bodyguards magically appeared with a robot from your company, and you also No knowledge at all.”

"I know this sounds weird," Tony interrupted her, "Of course you can question the official statement, but don't make random accusations and insinuate that I am a superhero."

The female reporter was a little amused and waved her hand, "I never said you were a superhero."

Tony was stunned for a moment, "No? Well, it does sound too sci-fi."

Tony sighed, "I'm not made to be a hero. I have so many personality flaws and I've caused so much trouble for everyone."

Many reporters below were a little surprised. When did Tony Stark say that he had shortcomings?

Roddy leaned into Tony's ear and said, "Just follow the script."

Tony nodded, "Okay, okay, okay."

Tony picked up the manuscript, "The actual situation is" Tony paused and looked at the reporter below.

"I am Iron Man."

The reporters below exploded in an instant. They all stood up and held up microphones, eager to insert the microphone into Tony's mouth.

"Mr. Stark, do you admit that you are the robot last night?"

"Mr. Stark, do the previous bombings in the Middle East have anything to do with you?"

"Mr. Stark, are you willing to take responsibility for what happened last night?"

"Mr. Stark, someone said that they saw another person participating in the battle last night. Do you know anything?"

......

Clark put down his coffee, smiled, shook his head and sighed that it was indeed him.

Qiao stood next to Clark, "The research data has been sent to several magazines, and it is expected to be published within two weeks."

"It's good. I can go back before Christmas. Oh, by the way, I still have to go to Stark to ask for compensation. It's best to repair it directly."

A few days later, Clark was packing things in the laboratory when the doorbell of the laboratory suddenly rang.

Clark turned on the monitor, and Tony outside the door made a "yeah" gesture towards the monitor, smiling very coquettishly.

Tony walked into the laboratory, walked around, and looked at the data on the screen again.Said to Clark, who was still packing his things: "Hello, Mr. Kent."

While sorting it out, Clark said: "Hello Mr. Stark, do you have any business with me? Or are you here to pay for my motorcycle?"

Tony smiled, "Call me Tony, you did me a big favor. Come to Stark Group, I saw the data you published, it's amazing. I'll give you a top-notch laboratory , it is completely your responsibility, you can choose the personnel and materials.”

Clark put down what he was holding, "Wow, my research has just been reported, and you have so much confidence in me."

Tony blinked, "I have other ways of seeing ahead of time, and I know you pretty well."

Tony took out some photos and handed them to Clark.

In the photo, Clark stood in front of the truck, holding a driver with a heavy face. Behind him was a broken post office and a panicked crowd.The composition of the photo is perfect. Although it is a snapshot, it perfectly shows Clark's majesty.

Clark looked at the photo and was lost in memories.

"This is the only original photo circulating outside that SHIELD has not been able to find," Tony said.

Clark put down the photo and looked at Tony, "Thank you very much, but I still have to pay for my motorcycle."

Tony smiled and said, "Of course, it is being repaired by Stark Group and will be delivered to you in a few days."

Clark stood up and extended his hand to Tony, "I will seriously consider joining the Stark Group."

Tony held Clark's hand and said, "You're most welcome."

At night, Tony came home and said, "Jarvis, why don't you turn on the light?"

"Welcome home" Jarvis's voice sounded.

Tony walked to the living room and saw a dark figure standing behind his sofa.

"I am Iron Man. You think you are the superhero Mr. Stark. There are many people like you in this world, but you just don't know it yet." The figure said with his back to Tony.

Tony looked at the figure and said, "I just met one this afternoon. Maybe I'm not the only one, but I'm sure there's no one like me. Who are you?"

"Nick Fury, director of SHIELD." Fury stepped out of the shadows, "I have a plan I want to talk to you about."
