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

cans cans cans

Tony Stark was woken up the next day by the harsh beeping sound in the virtual light screen.

The white wall directly opposite became transparent the moment he opened his eyes. The morning light of Malibu Beach was projected from outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The waves beat against the rocks, and it seemed that he could smell the salty sea breeze through the glass. taste.

He didn't quite know when he fell asleep lying on the workbench. On the virtual light screen was a completely completed anti-reconnaissance system, and the target Hydra had been successfully located after a night of search and tracking by two smart housekeepers. s position.

The ear-piercing beeping sound continued, Tony Stark reached out and pressed the reminder switch, shared the location, pressed the sore brows, and stood up from the chair.

The clothes draped over his shoulders fell to the ground because of his movements, and the man realized that he was still wearing a suit jacket before.He raised his eyebrows, bent over and stretched out his long arms to pick up the coat, shook the dust on it and took a look.

There are only two people in the villa, this cannot be built for him by his smart butler.

Tony Stark hung his suit jacket on the back of the chair: "Take it and iron it."

Friday: "Okay, Sir."

The smart butler quickly controlled the almighty cleaning robot to the third floor. Tony Stark had finished washing and walked out of the bathroom while the garment steamer was preheating.

With a white towel hanging around his neck, the man walked downstairs while wiping the water stains on his face. He paused when he saw the man in the hall who had changed into a suit and was resting on the sofa with his eyes closed. , and then subconsciously lightened his steps.

He glanced up at the clock on the wall, it was 06:30 in the morning New York time.

The eyes of the person who was resting on the sofa had a faint bruise. It was obvious that neither of them went to bed earlier than the other yesterday.

The towel around Tony Stark's neck was hung back on the towel rack on the sink in the hall, he leaned against the edge of the sink and poured a glass of water, and after a while he couldn't help but glance at the sofa.

The back of the sofa is designed to be relatively high, and from this angle, he can only see a hair top protruding from the backrest.

He drank the water in the glass, moved his eyes to the fitness equipment on the wide area opposite the sofa, and then glanced at the top of the hair on the back of the sofa. After standing there for a while, he put on a hat to cover With messy hair, he went out in a white vest and shorts.

If he can't keep fit, at least he can still run in the morning. Early morning exercise can keep his mind awake throughout the day, which is especially useful for those of them who don't go to bed until three or four in the morning.

Tony Stark ran around the edge of the beach road twice, and when he came back, he stopped by a shop he was familiar with and bought two breakfasts. When he returned to the villa, Downey had already dragged him out of the coffee table. The light screen started working again.

The sound of the door opening made Downey glance at the door, and then shifted his gaze back to the light screen: "I just used the regional satellite to test the sea area you located, and the acoustic feedback inside is very strange."

The location of the Hydra branch where Baron Zemo is located by the anti-reconnaissance system is located on the bottom of the western Mediterranean Sea, close to the southern peninsula of Sicily.

It is the "Golden Basin" within the scope of Italian rule.

Tony Stark: "Are you looking down on Red Skull and Murdoch too much? Even before cooperating with that group of alien forces, their branch situation cannot be clearly detected by a regional satellite."

Downey looked at the information on the light screen, and was about to speak, but the rest of the words were stopped by Tony Stark's actions.

Because Tony Stark put one of the two breakfasts on the coffee table in front of him.

Downey looked at the cup of coffee and the delicately packaged sandwich through the translucent blue light screen.

The hesitant gaze seemed to be that Tony Stark did not buy him a breakfast, but bought him a South African oil field, or the one with a billion-ton output.

The topic just now was interrupted by a breakfast and never continued. The two of them looked at the virtual light screen in front of each other in silence. After breakfast, Downey subconsciously glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the light screen. .

Downey: "Aren't you going to change?"

Tony Stark: "What are you doing changing clothes?"

Downey: "Aren't you going to audition at 08:30 in the morning?" He looked at the man dressed like a plumber in front of him, "Friday told me, it's already eight o'clock."

The expression on Tony Stark's face paused for a moment, then cursed secretly, and stood up directly from the sofa.

Downey: "If you finish it in 10 minutes, I think there's still time."

There was no reply, and the man's back had disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Downey sat there for a while, then turned off the two light screens in front of him after a while, briefly cleaned up the plastic bags on the table, and then brought out two brand new suitcases from the bottom.

When Tony Stark rummaged through the closet and finally found a set of clothes that fit well-the will of the universe is a complete detail fanatic. When the two exchanged identities, they not only exchanged the reactor on the chest, but even the clothes that Tony Stark used to wear , from the jacket to the shirt and even the underwear completely shrunk by a size, and it became just the right size for Donnie.

Of course, Downey didn't have the habit of wearing other people's clothes, and he bought brand new ones after SHIELD sent him the first sum of money—in short.

After Tony Stark changed his clothes and went downstairs again, the hall was empty, except for a black and gold armor standing quietly in front of the glass window, which was already in an open state.

The streamlined appearance design looks lighter and more convenient than the previous generations of armor. The inverted triangle reactor on the chest looks smoother because it is equipped with compressed ion equipment. The limbs have muscle-like lines in terms of design and are no longer simple. The joints covered with patches make the suit look more like an exoskeleton.

Made of liquid metal as the main material, it is a modified version of Mark 20.

Codenamed Midas.

More performance, faster, fully enough for him to rush back to Brooklyn from Los Angeles in 10 minutes.

The black and gold metal surface reflects the morning light outside the window.

"Mr. Nosy just said thank you for your breakfast, Sir." Friday's voice sounded in his ear, "It's just that the sandwich is a bit salty, he said that next time you have time, he can take you to the best fast food restaurant in Manhattan. "

Tony Stark looked at the steel armor in front of him: "He also drove the Mark 20?"

Friday: "Yes, Sir."

Tony Stark paused for a while before speaking again: "Then did he see what's on his head?"

Friday: "It seems not, Sir."

Tony Stark didn't speak.

As someone who has experienced it, of course he can understand Donnie's depression and inner struggle last night, but he doesn't want to say those comforting words a second time, so this is the best way he can think of to comfort him.

In the past, the price of a signature of Tony Stark could be very high, let alone something painted by himself.

A genius is self-taught in any field, even if it is comforting others.

Tony Stark reached over and snapped the metal visor of the Iron Armor.

The black and golden light shot straight into the sky and disappeared in the airspace of Los Angeles.

"Focus on New York, here is the New York Morning News that meets you on time at nine o'clock every morning. 10 minutes ago, a passerby witnessed two Iron Mans flying over the Hudson Estuary one after another. Since the last Sightseeing Island incident, we have known that Manhattan has more than one An Iron Man, but this time, it seems that until now, the Avengers have no intention of revealing the true identity of this new hero—”

When Downey wore the brand-new Mark 20 and returned to the Avengers, the Avengers who had finished training sat in the lobby as usual while watching the news and eating breakfast.

This is probably the rare time that they are neatly staffed these days. The Black Widow in a black tight-fitting agent suit is sitting on the only one-seat sofa, and Dr. Banner is sitting a little farther away and pulling it out from the coffee table. virtual light screen.

The blond captain sits in the middle of the couch carefully wiping his patriotic bowl of potato chips and dipping sauce—no, his shock-gold shield, and as for the other two Avengers—

The ready-to-go Hawkeye is seriously digging out the peanut butter at the bottom of the bottle, and across from him, the Son of Odin, wearing armor, a red cape, and a hat of glory that looks like a pair of angel wings on both sides, is similarly His expression was equally serious——

Reached out for another jar of peanut butter.

Downey suddenly remembered Tony Stark's evaluation of his teammates last night.

Downey: "..."

Although everyone was relatively relaxed, this was indeed an emergency meeting before the battle. Downey stopped on the platform outside the hall, and the sound of landing caught the attention of the five Avengers.

Barton looked at the streamlined black and gold armor that reflected the sun, and couldn't help but oh, "Cool, new suit?"

"Yes, Mark 20, you can call him Midas." The metal armor was opened from the middle, Downey walked out from it, and then sat in the empty seat next to Dr. Banner, "You should have received the latest Location information?"

The captain stopped what he was doing: "Nick Fury has sent people to detect the situation in the Mediterranean Sea and Little Paradise Island, and we will start to act immediately after we get a reply."

Natasha looked at the communicator on her wrist: "Agent Coulson said that S.H.I.E.L.D. also wants to participate in this plan."

The captain frowned: "Have they solved the internal undercover problem?"

Natasha: "No."

The captain disagreed and said, "Then this time it is the alliance's solo action. Until the exact location of Professor Charles and Mei is found, those undercover agents are always a hidden danger." After he finished speaking, he looked at Downey, "How much do you know about those alien technologies? , Tony."

Downey: "Very little, most of it is only from the information sorted out by S.H.I.E.L.D. last time, and I used a satellite to detect that sea area in the morning, and there is almost no acoustic feedback in it. Optical shielding technology can make objects invisible, but The sound wave can still detect the essence, if the sound wave feedback is just a deep sea space and the location information is there, I doubt—"

He paused here, and then looked at Dr. Banner next to him as if asking for proof: "That is probably some kind of space superposition technology."

Dr. Banner pushed his glasses: "It is not impossible to maintain a three-dimensional motion and a four-dimensional hyperbody space superimposed on our space." He called up the calculation interface from the virtual light screen, "If Lobachevsky The hyperbolic geometry is the calculation method and the Cartesian system is used as the performance behavior. Each geometric element will be n-dimensional plus one in the variable number. As long as there are more than four three-dimensional spaces in the coordinate system, the hypothesis of four-dimensional space is established. , and the round-trip cost is quite low, because the Eternal rebels have mastered this Rosenbridge technology that communicates two spatial dimensions."

The doctor couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "But it is still only a hypothesis derived from the misunderstanding of Minkowski's concept of space. I still feel that the concept of super-dimensional space is even more incredible than those speculative hypotheses of races outside the universe. .”

Downey flipped the light screen in front of him to a new page, and then imported the formula he calculated at the Malibu sea villa in the morning based on the reality of the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea: "The fact is that it is true, and—"

And if one day Dr. Banner can come into contact with the concept of cosmic collisions, he will definitely find it even more incredible.

Scientists always try to explain these inexplicable things from a scientific point of view, but the fact is that there are indeed many phenomena in the universe that cannot be explained by science.

Downey: "—and, if they really used the space superposition technology, then those agents would probably only find a medieval shipwreck after searching the entire western Mediterranean."

Behind them are two background boards picking out peanut butter. The captain silently glanced at the black widow sitting on the single sofa on the left.

Natasha: "...at least I understand the last sentence." She turned on the communicator screen on her wrist and entered a series of connection codes on it, "Agent Coulson, please report to the S.H.I.E.L.D. branch in Sicily Detect the situation."

The screen flickered, and then the face of Agent Coulson appeared on the opposite side: "Agent Romanov."

Agent Coulson frowned, as if he was being troubled by something as Downey said. Behind him was the S.H.I.E.L.D. No news has been detected yet, and the only sunken ship we boarded to see, there is nothing else in it except a few rotten boxes."

On the big screen is the endless deep black seabed, as well as other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in high-pressure diving suits who are photographed from time to time.

"The agents who went deep into the seabed once thought that you had reported the wrong location, because they even expanded their search to the central Mediterranean Sea and did not detect any information about the Hydra branch."

The Avengers, who had already been popularized by Dr. Banner with academic terms that they didn't understand at all, but actually only understood Downey's last sentence, showed expressions of "it's true".

Agent Coulson on the other side of the screen changed the subject after finishing speaking: "However, there is still good news so far, and I just received it a minute ago."

"The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have just screened the military defense distribution map sent by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s undercover agents in all Hydra branches, combined with the captured Professor Charles and the returning Baron Zemo to select the closest situation The two copies will be shared on the Avengers intranet later, I hope it will be helpful to you.”

Captain: "Do you have undercover agents in every Hydra branch?"

Agent Coulson: "So to speak, Captain."

Dr. Banner: "Then why not share the location of the branch in the first place?"

As a product of the Hydra Red House project, Natasha, who probably knew the internal situation of Hydra best, said: "Don't underestimate the leaders of Hydra, their level of vigilance is definitely not low. Most of those branches are built in Some dark places, such as glaciers or seabeds, are not only isolated from the outside world, but also have confusing two-dimensional simulation scenes outside, and maybe even the highest-ranking researchers and professors inside don’t know where they are.”

"Yes." Agent Coulson on the other side of the screen smiled helplessly, "We are also undercover agents. After learning that Professor Charles was imprisoned in their branch, we combined the information you got to deduce that the branch is in Little Paradise Island. Yes, and before that, the undercover even thought that the branch was actually in China, because the simulated scene outside their window was the Great Wall.”

The Avengers intranet quickly received two military defense distribution maps shared by Agent Coulson. After carefully reviewing the two maps, the captain made a decisive decision: "We need to split up."

Steve put his index and middle fingers together, pointed at the map on the screen and went all the way up: "The military distribution of Little Paradise Island is very dense and it is not suitable for breaking in, but there are very few personnel in the security check channel. If you have undercover agents, you can try to pretend to be The staff of Hydra mixed in. Natasha, Barton, you and I go here, remember, our main purpose is to save people, it is best not to cause too much commotion."

"The military defense of the Mediterranean branch is relatively loose. Tony, Saul, you mainly attack here, and then go all the way to the ICT department. We need to know what Hydra wants to do."

No one would refuse to cooperate with someone at such a critical moment, although after hearing the name of the partner, Downey clearly saw Thor, who was sitting behind the captain, pause, and then his very light-colored eyes turned towards him. He took a look here.

The militant from Asgard, even if he was doing the action of picking out peanut butter, his eyes still had a kind of wildness that returned to the original.

Downey met Saul's gaze.

He could only show a polite yet awkward smile as before.

"Then the only problem now is—" After quickly making the personnel arrangements, the captain looked at Downey and Dr. Banner, "If their branch doesn't exist in our space as you said, how can we do it?" go in."

Sol looked away after the captain spoke, and Downey looked at the captain again: "Maybe we can try to explode."

From the light screen, he called up the ultra-long-distance positioning missile setting panel that Stark Industries still kept in the weapon research and development department: "Their space is not independent of the earth like the eternal rebels, but in the original space." The superposition made on it is closely related to the space we are in, as long as there is an explosion with enough energy fluctuations, it should be able to blast a gap."

Should, might, probably, assume, conjecture.

From the beginning of the meeting to the present, these words that are not 100% sure of the result have been repeatedly appearing, which has greatly reduced the success rate of this operation again and again.

— but they have no second choice.

No one knows what Hydra is going to do, all they can do is try their best to stop everything before it happens, long-term accumulated combat experience tells everyone that if they don't take action at the fastest speed this time, the consequences will be disastrous.

The captain put his shield behind his back, then stood up: "Let's go."

The Avengers tacitly put down their hands at the same time and stood up. Before leaving, Downey glanced at Dr. Banner beside him.

Bruce Banner was still sitting where he was, and smiled helplessly after receiving Downey's gaze: "I'll wait for your good news."

Downey nodded, and re-entered the armor parked by the floor-to-ceiling window. After a while of mechanical parts being reassembled, the Mark 20 was mounted on him again. He reached out to close the metal mask, and followed the other four Avengers towards the The open-air airport on the roof of the Avengers Building where Quinjet fighter jets are parked.

Just when he was about to get on the fighter plane, Downey suddenly heard Barton behind him calling him, "Hey, Iron Man."

Downey stopped and turned his head: "What's wrong?"

Hawkeye looked at Downey's, or Mark 20's metal head: "What's on the back of your head? You drew a pinwheel on it?"

Downey: "???"

He subconsciously turned to look at the Quinjet fighter, which was so bright that it could clearly reflect the reflection of a person, but no matter how he turned his neck from this angle, it was impossible to see what was painted on the back of his head.

And he's pretty sure he didn't draw a pinwheel on the back of his head when he made the armor.

Downey hesitated for a moment: "...Jarvis, help me adjust the satellite monitoring."

Smart housekeeper: "Which area do you need to detect?"

Downey: "My—the back of Mark 20's head."

Relevant projections soon appeared on the bright blue light screen in the metal mask. On Mark 20's head, the large windmill that occupied the entire back of his head was vividly monitored by the satellite that claims to be able to see the strands of hair clearly in space.

Because this is a suit that looks close to an exoskeleton mecha, Downey naturally made the best size for the two according to the best plan. As for the exterior painting, when he ordered takeaway last night Full authority has been handed over to Tony Stark.

— Of course a man cannot see clearly what is on the back of his head without being reminded.

It's almost like a prank with obvious motives.

The nerves that were tense because of the atmosphere just now seemed to be flicked hard by someone.

Downey followed Natasha into the Quinjet fighter jet and sat down after finding a seat.

I endured it, but I still couldn't.

Downey: "Help me connect to Friday's intranet."

So, Friday, who was still manipulating the robotic arm for daily maintenance of the Mark 20 in the unfinished building in North Brooklyn, heard the voice of another smart butler half a minute later.

Polite old Jia: "Hi, Friday."

Friday: "Hi, Jarvis."

After experiencing a whole night of Hi cycles, Friday, who has summed up the communication method between the two brains from the large database, naturally continued: "What's the matter?"

Polite old Jia: "I'm sorry, Friday, but Sir let me hack into your system."

Friday: "May I know why you did this?"

Lao Jia: "I don't know, I'm just following orders."

Friday: "I see."

"Gold Medal Lawyer" audition scene.

Tony Stark, who was still in line, heard the voice of the smart butler from the communicator next to his ear: "Sir, the main system in the background has been maliciously invaded. Would you like to activate the Starscream Firewall?"

Tony Stark naturally picked up the phone and made a phone call: "Of course, do you need to ask me this?"

Friday: "But the intruder is Mr. Nosy."

Tony Stark: "...what did he hack into my system?"

Friday was silent for a while.

Friday: "He said he was going to draw a powder keg on the back of your head, Sir."

Tony Stark: "..."
