When Downey Wears a Tin Can [Comprehensive British and American]

Tony Stark is well aware of his personality flaws and what the great contradiction in his mind has been all along.

He wears a suit and rules the largest company in New York State, and has achievements that others may not achieve in a lifetime. While loathing this money society, he also makes money from arms.

But in fact, his original intention of developing microelectronics technology to the nanoscale was not to build bombs.

He used the money he got from selling arms to do medical research, to invest in cancer drugs, to make internal pain pumps, to use everything he thought was right, but someone would always say it.

[Do you think they can use your pain pump in Iraq? ]

[Do you think a child whose arm was blown off in Afghanistan could experience your microelectronics? ]

He never denied that he was a man with blood on his hands.

So he doesn't understand why anyone can enjoy all this with peace of mind.

Because obviously he can't do it himself.

The person in front of him opened his mouth and seemed to have finally organized his words to say something, but before that, Tony Stark interrupted him again

"And you also closed down the weapons research and development department on your own initiative."

Many images flashed through his mind. From the moment the other party said the phrase "he alone can maintain world peace", each of them seemed to become the fuse to detonate the explosives.

"After enjoying the material life for a few days, you really think that you can manage the entire Stark enterprise with something in your mind? Do you think you are already Tony Stark himself? Can you make decisions for me? You rely on What can?"

Tony Stark looked into those warm brown eyes slowly showing shock at what he had just said.

It seems that he never thought that what he did would be judged like this.

"I didn't mean that." Donnie subconsciously explained the words he wanted to defend just now, "I just—"

He paused, and finally chose the most direct way: "I just want to help you."

Tony Stark reacted immediately: "Did you see the clean energy materials in my folder?"

Downey didn't want to deny what he had done: "Yes."

The man was silent for a moment, and there was a momentary complex look on his face, but then, as if hearing some century joke: "Do we know each other?"

Downey didn't speak.

Tony Stark laughed more ironically: "I don't need anyone's help, and you are not qualified. You just want to alleviate your guilt, or like any slogan of helping others to realize self-worth, see How great it is that I am so helpful, I have seen too many people like you. Why don't you go to church to pray and listen to what the priest wants you to say when you have this time?"

Donnie looked at the man who had belittled him to nothing in the few words before him.

It's not that he doesn't have a temper, he has been suffocating since the first conflict between them, but there is one thing Tony Stark is right about, that is, he did close down his weapons research and development department on his own initiative.

Although his intentions are good.

Since everything he came into contact with after waking up was no different from that in the movie universe, he took it for granted that this was the movie universe, and in the movie universe, Tony Stark successfully closed the weapon research and development department, so he brought in His subjective consciousness, from the perspective of God, unilaterally thinks that he is helping Tony Stark.

It's just because he thinks he is from the circled media criticism and subsequent comments.

I saw a person asking him for help awkwardly.

But the fact is that the Tony Stark of this world is not only not from the movie universe, but also seems to have completely dismissed the idea of ​​transforming clean energy.

It makes everything he does look like a self-indulgent fool.

The rental house was completely quiet, and neither of them looked away from the other's eyes first, but everyone could see that the slightly shorter man was at an absolute disadvantage.

Until a mobile phone ringing broke the deadlocked atmosphere.

It came from the refurbished machine Tony Stark found at the flea market on the coffee table.

Tony frowned, and didn't even go to see who was calling: "Hang up."

A mechanical female voice sounded in the room: "It's a video communication from the developer of Hampton Resort, Sir."

Tony Stark said nothing.

Obviously, the mechanical female voice, as a smart housekeeper, knows what kind of virtue her boss is. After Tony Stark fell silent, she took the initiative to open the video communication on the phone.

A blue virtual light screen unfolded above the camera, Stark Industries' holographic projection technology - there is actually one thing Downey has been surprised about until now.

Even if Tony Stark is penniless, he can still create these high technologies, especially the blue and white Mark VII, even if it uses inferior materials and integrated energy.

No matter how cheap integrated energy is, ordinary people cannot afford it. No one knows how he did it.

And soon Downey found out.

On the virtual light screen is the face of a bald developer in the Hampton area, who stands in front of a newly demolished ruin, holding a sign of a zombie image in Plants vs. Zombies: "Do you still want this thing, sir?" ?”

Tony Stark looked at the zombie in the developer's hand: "What?"

"The weather vane, sir, is quite exquisitely made, it looks like handwork." The developer said, and inserted the weather vane back on the ground, "And the furniture in the house, sir, you send your current residential address to Give it to me and I'll send it to you."

After the developer finished speaking, he touched a few hairs on the top of his head, and said with some regret: "To be honest, sir, don't you think it's a pity that your beautifully decorated villa is sold? Especially the windmill hanging on it is very beautiful , do you mind if I build several similar sets according to the appearance of your villa when planning the tourist area later? Or can you give me the number of the designer, I really want to hire him with a high salary, he is too talented Talented."

Tony Stark looked at the large windmill inserted into the ground behind the developer and a piece of familiar wall ruins: "...you demolished the villa?"

Developer: "Yes."

Tony Stark: "You didn't say you would dismantle it when you bought it."

Developer: "I want to build a tourist area, sir, no matter how beautiful the villa is, it's useless to stay there, it will affect the follow-up planning and—"

Before the developer finished speaking, the virtual light screen disappeared from the coffee table.

Tony Stark stood where he was, holding another elderly machine with a remote control light screen switch in his hand, looking at Downey whose expression gradually changed following the developer's words.

The sudden change made Downey's mind go blank, and then he came back to his senses.

It's like finally breaking out after being patient to the limit.

"You demolished my villa?!"

Tony Stark opened his mouth. He wanted to say that he just sold the land certificate and the house title certificate. He didn't know that the developer would demolish the house directly, and he originally planned to make money to renew the two certificates in the future. Buy it back, but the truth is.

The developer spent 2000 million to buy the villa.

Yes, that villa is worth more than 2000 million, and it can only be sold for so much not because the house is not good enough, but because the lot has not been developed and the land is not that valuable.

He used the 2000 million to build this mecha and the current technology.

Then they tore the villa down.

It is rare for the richest man in New York, after accusing others of being worthless with a proud face just now.

He showed a somewhat guilty expression.

"I'm trying to—"

No one knows how much time Donnie spent designing the windmill villa. Every conception and structure in it, including the zombie weather vane inserted outside, was made by him with his own painstaking efforts.

Now it has been shoveled into ruins.

He took a deep breath, and the fist he was going to punch was halfway because of his excellent personal qualities. It turned into an outstretched index finger, and it slammed on Tony Stark's uninjured shoulder. The voice suddenly raised It also became low again: "I'm trying to communicate with you."

"I have something to tell you Tony Stark."

"Except for the first takeaway meal, I didn't spend a penny from you Tony Stark, and I have to help you clean up the mess as soon as I wake up, be sued in a military court, repair your mecha, and help you deal with it." Your messy interpersonal relationship, yes, that’s right, clean energy is my own initiative, so even if I work for more than ten hours and stay up all night to help you finish the second half of your design, it’s my own fault, but before that— —”

"I'm just an actor! The kind that pays 5000 million for a film! US dollars! It's not a playboy like you said!"

"And you!"

"You demolished my villa! The only thing I have in this damn world!" Donnie pointed angrily at the pile of broken blue and white parts on the ground, "Just to make a one-off junk?!"

This time, the speechless person became Tony Stark.

He couldn't even refute the other party's evaluation of the one-off trash of the new Mark Seven.

Downey finally took a breath after saying this in a row. He put on the sunglasses in his hand again: "I don't think there is any need for us to talk."

He glanced at Tony Stark, and said one last sentence before leaving the unfinished building: "I will find a way to solve the problem of the current situation, and if you still have a little bit of responsibility, I will bear your responsibility." The name will help you do things, and I will ask for your approval in advance for any future decisions."

"I also hope you don't commit those messy laws in my name."

Even if the Robert Downey Jr. of this world is not him.

After finishing speaking, Downey turned around and left the corridor like a rough house.

It wasn't until the footsteps disappeared that Tony Stark sat back on his sofa again.

The antenna TV is still broadcasting the program, it is still the military channel, and it is still the interview content about him.

"Why do we call Tony Stark the ghost of the 21st century, because the landmines he invented in the 90s still scare the poor countries that have been attacked. I think he is an undoubted psychologically strong person, otherwise he would not be able to feel at ease Stepping on these human lives, enjoying the material life brought to him by war and blood."

Tony cursed and turned off the TV angrily.

The rental house where there was a quarrel just now became quiet again after that person left, and a group of black people could be heard downstairs playing basketball and swearing loudly in the abandoned car yard.

——He didn't know when he couldn't face himself in the mirror.

This is a money society, and everyone around you is talking about business.He wants to create a peaceful future, but they only see the future as a business opportunity.

Selling arms is the easiest way to get money flowing, that's what he's heard the most from those directors over the years.

If you want to make the world a better place, you have to let others do it for you.

Suddenly a face flashed in his mind, and those hurt warm brown eyes were mixed with shock, disbelief, all kinds of mixed emotions and a little kindness.

"I just want to help."

Heck.

He doesn't need anyone to help him.

The phone on the coffee table rang at this moment, Tony wanted to hang up, but he pressed the answer button by mistake, and a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Donnie, this is Krakowski, I think you should remember I."

Of course he remembered that Queen Margaret's assistant director, for some reason, was always keen to pull him to audition for various roles, even though he hadn't succeeded once so far.

Tony responded casually: "Yes."

Krakowski: "Tomorrow, the director I know will audition for a role in a TV series at the People's Building. I think you fit the image and temperament of the leading actor. Do you want to think about it?"

Tony Stark's first reaction was to refuse, but before the words of refusal came out, Downey's face and what he just said suddenly flashed in his mind, so it was like a ghost.

He asked, "What time?"

The assistant director said the time and address in surprise, and then hung up the phone after saying "you must be there on time".

Tony Stark looked at the interface where the phone was hung up, and threw the phone back to the coffee table somewhat recklessly.

He'll play a shit show.
