Marvel's father of superheroes

Stark Building.

Because the management of Stark Industries was handed over to Pepper Potts, Tony rarely comes here now.

Therefore, Mike, who is now his assistant, naturally does not have to go to Stark Tower to work every day.

Basically, except for Saturday and Sunday, Tony would only come to Stark Tower once a week at most.

Now, he spends more time in Avengers Tower and at home.

In the early morning, Mike saw off Clark and Gwen, looked at the time, and walked towards the door with a change of expression.

Sure enough, there was Tony in a suit and tie outside the door.

"Uncle Mike, it's time to go to work."

As he spoke, he sniffed slightly.

"Wait for me while I change my clothes."

Mike turned and walked into the room, pointed at the dining table and said, "Your breakfast."

Tony finally smiled, and the sadness of his boss coming to call his assistant to work became less intense.

He hired an assistant for himself to help him solve some daily and work matters, but as a result... he invited an 'uncle' back.

I rush but don’t dare to rush, and I don’t dare to do the bidding. I still have to call to work every day...

He was really unlucky.

However, there is a bonus: he can have a delicious breakfast.

Sitting at the dining table, Tony, who turned his grief into appetite, ate breakfast quickly, and finished the breakfast quickly before Mike went downstairs.

Rubbing his belly, feeling more and more flesh, Tony suddenly thought of Thor and shivered suddenly.

The food at Mike's house is so good. If this continues, he won't be far from Sol.

But how can their family eat without getting fat?

Just when a question mark appeared in Tony's mind, Mike came down from upstairs.

With a flash of his body, Mike disappeared from the spot. Before Tony could react, he had already cleared the dining table.

"Let's go, boss."

Mike stood at the door with a smile and said to Tony.

Tony walked out quickly.

Destination: Avengers Tower.

One of the benefits of having Mike as his assistant is that you don't have to avoid Mike when doing superhero work.

Mike drove Tony to Avengers Tower and went to Tony's laboratory together.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, Tony devoted himself to the production of the steel suit.

Mike sat aside with his cell phone and started to scroll through it. Seeing that Tony was already involved in the production, he shook his head.

Tony has been crazy about making steel suits recently.

As an assistant, he was very relaxed, but he felt as bored as at home.

He won't be able to do this job for long.

At this moment, Tony suddenly screamed.

Mike turned around and saw Tony holding his chest and panting violently, with fear flashing in his eyes.

"Tony?"

Mike walked up to Tony and said, "Did it again?"

Tony nodded hard.

A purification card appeared between Mike's fingers.

When the card turned into light spots and dissipated, a stream of cyan air appeared on Tony's body. After flashing across his body, his anxious and fearful mood was cleared.

Tony sat on the chair with a slumped expression and said to Mike, "Thank you."

anxiety.

Ever since the Battle of New York, Tony, who was almost killed but luckily survived, has suffered from anxiety.

"Let's talk."

Mike pulled up a chair and sat next to Tony.

Tony put his hands in his hair and said painfully: "I've seen a doctor. It's anxiety."

"Why the anxiety?"

"It should be..." He paused and muttered: "The Battle of New York."

"The Battle of New York? Didn't we win?"

Mike asked doubtfully.

In the original plot, Tony suffered from anxiety disorder because he flew through the space gate with a nuclear bomb on his back. Because he almost couldn't come back, he felt insecure and had no confidence in his own strength. But why is it happening now?

Tony took a deep breath and said slowly: "That day, I was almost beaten to death by a Kryptonian. It was really... just that close. If it hadn't been for Uncle Mike's extensive treatment, I would have..."

Speaking of this, his expression became even more painful, and even his breathing slowly became rapid.

"So, you are crazy about making battle suits for... a sense of security?"

"Um……"

Tony smiled bitterly and said, "Sometimes, I feel that I can only feel safe in the suit."

Mike pinched his chin, smiled suddenly, and said, "This is somewhat similar to a special thing I did before."

"Huh? Have you ever suffered from anxiety attacks?"

"I don't know if it counts, but... I would be a little scared at that time because of my lack of strength."

After a pause, Mike said: "Because those children have been special since they were young. I'm afraid that I can't protect them, so I work hard to make cards every day. I'm afraid that because I don't have enough cards, I won't be able to use them when the time comes. .”

"It's somewhat similar to how you made the steel suit."

"Then...how did you overcome it?"

"overcome?"

Mike thought for a moment and said, "I haven't overcome it. Clark and the others are getting stronger and stronger, and my symptoms will be cured."

"..."

Tony was speechless, and even felt that his already blocked heart became even more blocked.

"Ha ha!"

Mike laughed, patted Tony on the shoulder, then stopped laughing, and said seriously: "I can help you solve this symptom, using some abilities."

Tony's eyes flashed with joy.

Mike continued: "But you need to choose whether you need my ability completely, or whether I use my ability to guide you to defeat it on your own. The second one requires you to face your own fears."

Tony didn't hesitate at all, and said with firm eyes: "The second one."

He can accept help, but he cannot accept being completely dependent on others.

Mike nodded, and a card appeared between his fingers.

Name: Professor X.

Character introduction: A powerful psychic.

Note: Let’s communicate with our hearts.

The card turned into light spots and dissipated, and a shadow flashed behind Mike, turning into a strip of light and rushing into Mike's body.

Mike stretched out his middle index finger and tapped his temple gently. The invisible power of the soul appeared and poured into Tony's head. He began to dig out the fear in the other person's heart and find a solution for him.

Anxiety about the crisis and lack of strength caused him to rely heavily on the suit, to the point where he could not sleep without the suit by his side.

In the final analysis, it's all because he is an ordinary person. Without the suit, he is nothing.

Realizing Tony's thoughts, Mike smiled slightly and said to Tony in his mind: "Rhodes also has an Iron suit, why not Iron Man? Why are you the only one who is Iron Man?"

"because……"

"Because of you! You made the steel suit possible!" Mike said softly: "Don't let it become a cocoon that binds you!"

"You are Iron Man, and no one can take that away from you."

"Am I Iron Man?"

Tony kept mumbling, and after a few seconds, he said firmly: "Yes, I am Iron Man."
