Clark from the comic world

"It's good to be back. You guys miss me a lot."

After starting to speak, Tony adjusted his clothes. Then he said in a serious and calm tone.

"I didn't say that the world has finally maintained..., um, long-term peace for many years because of me, Iron Man."

Just after the opening words of this sentence, the audience burst into warm applause. After the applause subsided a little, Tony continued.

"I didn't say that no one else in the world was like me, rising from the ashes like a phoenix."

Tony closed his eyes as he spoke, and then raised his hands to welcome the cheers and applause from the audience.

"I didn't say that the U.S. government, FBI, and IA can be so laid-back because I can always maintain peak performance, so no one dares to challenge me."

"I love you, Iron Man!"

At this time, Tony's assistant started to set the pace.

"Okay, please, I'm not that important, you're not important, we're not important. What's important is the legacy, what we leave to the next generation. So starting next year, for the first time since 1974.

From different countries and companies around the world, the best people will offer their resources and share their vision to create a better future.

Therefore, we are not important...

I would like to say, welcome to Stark Industries Expo! "

Facing the cheers below, Tony returned to his serious tone.

“Next, a special guest will return from the past life to explain all this to you.

Please welcome my father, Howard Stark! "

Then Tony waved to the big screen at the back and temporarily withdrew from the main stage as the screen lit up.

After getting off the stage, Tony took out a readily available blood testing device to test his blood palladium concentration. Looking at the blood palladium concentration that had risen to 19, Tony was a little silent.

"What's wrong, the concentration has risen again? What you have to do now is to use your iron sheet less. You have to know that the more powerful the reactor is, the faster the concentration will rise."

At this time, Clark walked out from behind Tony. Having participated in Tony's experiments, he knew that in normal life, the concentration of palladium released by the reactor on Tony's chest would not rise so fast.

After all, a piece of palladium only has so much energy. If you use one piece a month, so many toxins will rise in your blood. But if you take one tablet every 10 days, the palladium concentration in your blood will increase twice as much in one month.

Judging from the frequency of Tony's use, he can basically replace one piece in a few days. If this continues, Clark is afraid that he will not be able to survive the day when Fury comes to him and discovers a new element.

But Clark also knew that he was overthinking this. After all, Fury had been spying on Tony. He was actually afraid that Tony would die, but he planned to wait until Tony was about to be unable to hold on any longer before showing up again. After all, providing help in times of need was more valuable than adding icing on the cake.

As for why Clark didn't tell Tony directly, it was because Clark didn't know how to tell Tony. For example, how did he know? It would be okay if Clark also inherited Kryptonian technology, then he could only say that he saw it. But Clark didn't, so Clark, who had also seen the city map, couldn't tell that it was a new element map.

"I'm happy now, aren't I?"

Tony, who knew what Clark meant, did not answer Clark's question directly because he had his own ideas. He wouldn't be Tony Stark if he could be persuaded so easily.

"Okay." Clark, who originally mentioned it casually, did not continue on this topic. "By the way, is Banner at home now?"

"Unfortunately, he disappeared in the afternoon. No one knows where he went. He may have gone out to relax."

Speaking of Banner, Tony could only shrug.

"Okay, I think there's nothing going on here, so I'll go back first."

After the opening ceremony was announced, what was left was a disco dance session similar to that in a bar. Clark, who didn't like such noisy occasions, was ready to go back first.

"Just in time, I'm planning to leave too, shall we?"

"No, it's too much to do with you, so I'd better go alone." Clark waved to Tony and left.

Looking at Clark leaving, Tony smiled and said, "Happy, let's go too."

······

"Finally out!"

After walking through the crowd, Clark couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at Tony who was surrounded by a crowd not far behind him, Clark smiled happily and luckily didn't go with him.

Early the next morning, Clark turned on the TV and saw the news on the debate about Tony's steel suit before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Clark, who knew the final outcome of the matter, just watched and smiled, and then changed the channel.

On the other side of the world, Ivan was assembling his crude armor while watching Tony's argument on TV. As the electric whip was successfully activated after turning on the switch, Ivan couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile. Then he turned around and whipped the TV that was playing the news.

"Tony Stark...wait for me!"

Looking at the TV set that was cut in half with a whip, Tony's name came out of Ivan's mouth.

After tidying up a little, Ivan went out to get something.

But just after he arrived at the agreed place with the other party, he found that he seemed to be surrounded by people.

"who are you?"

Looking at the group of people surrounding him, Ivan couldn't help but reach his hands behind his back. But after discovering his actions, the group of people surrounding him all took out their guns and pointed them at Ivan's head. Looking at this uniform, Ivan Vanke raised his hands and gave up resistance.

"Sir, I think you'd better not move around, otherwise the hands of these people holding guns may shake because of fear. Then it will be bad if it clicks, right? Ivan... Vanke.”

Just after Ivan raised his hands, a man in a suit walked out of the crowd.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Justin Hammer, and I am now EO of Hammer Industries." After introducing himself, Justin Hammer walked up to Ivan, and then stretched out his hand to Ivan. Out the right hand.

But just after Ivan reacted a little, Justin Hammer withdrew his right hand.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you're inconvenient right now."

Maybe he felt that it was unsafe to be too close to Ivan, so Justin Hammer couldn't help but take a few steps back to his people.

"I got news here, which said that you seem to have developed an Iron Man weapon that is no less than Tony Stark. And you also seem to have a not-too-friendly attitude towards Tony because of your father, right? Look at this How about doing it.

You help me develop the steel suit, and I'll help you deal with Tony. It's a good deal. "

Ivan turned around and looked at the people around him, then said to Justin Hammer: "Do I have any other choice?"

"I'm very happy that you can recognize what choice is best for you so quickly." At this moment, someone came to Justin Hammer and said something to him.

After listening to what this person said, Justin Hammer couldn't help but smile on his face, and then looked at Ivan: "Then let's go."

"Wait, I have to go back and clean up." Ivan, who was surrounded, just planned to surrender first, and then as soon as he put on that armor, these people were simply scum.

"No, we will pack your luggage for you. I have to say, your armor is very beautiful." After Justin Hammer's words, Ivan knew that he had no resistance. There was no chance, so I could only follow Justin Hammer’s people obediently.

Seeing that he had successfully captured Ivan Vanke, a talent who could independently develop a reactor, and the half-finished armor, Justin Hammer couldn't help but smile.

But when he thought about not knowing who sent him the message, Justin Hammer's face sank again.
