cans cans cans cans cans cans cans

At seven o'clock in the evening New York time, the S.H.I.E.L.D. cruise ship disassembled from the S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft carrier stopped in the open space outside the Avengers Building.

Dr. Banner waited outside the tarmac as soon as he heard the movement. He had his usual gentle smile on his face. When the ladder at the exit of the cruise ship was erected and the hatch slowly opened, the doctor stretched out his hand and planned to That's how you hug the hero who returns from a mission.

However, he just stretched out his hand, and after seeing the person walking down the ladder, he took it back silently.

Dr. Banner looked at the tall, strange-looking man in front of him, and after initial hesitation: "...how are you?"

Tony Stark glanced at the doctor, nodded after a moment, then staggered the doctor and walked down the ladder, and put the airtight capsule he was carrying on the ground.

Downey was the one who came down after that. When he saw the postdoctoral fellow in a lavender shirt under the stairs, he smiled and said, "Good evening, Dr. Banner."

The doctor pushed his glasses, and put a smile on his face again: "Good evening, I hope your mission along the way is going well."

Downey stepped down the ladder: "It's not too difficult, and I think we should have collected some relatively important clues, but—"

The following words were interrupted by the sound of the vortex engine as the cruiser retracted the ladder and lifted off. After the cruiser disappeared in the airspace again and the harsh engine sound disappeared again, Downey couldn't help but rubbed his head and felt a little dizzy from the shock. Numb ears: "I will definitely put a muffler on their engine next time, this is not a joke."

Dr. Banner smiled and said, "I can provide technical support."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Tony Stark standing next to him.

After the man got off the cruise ship, he silently looked up at the Avengers building in front of him, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and his face was expressionless.

Dr. Banner was sure that the face was unfamiliar in his memory, but he didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that the peaked cap he was wearing was somewhat familiar, as if he had passed through the alliance aisle more than once not long ago. I have seen this peaked cap before.

Standing beside Downey, the doctor couldn't help asking, "Who is this?"

Donnie paused: "My friend."

The man who was staring at the Avengers Building lost his gaze at this moment. He glanced at Downey without denying it.He took one last look at the building, then turned and walked towards the subway entrance.

Downey was still hesitating whether to invite Tony Stark to the Avengers Building - although this sentence sounds a bit strange, because this building was originally Tony Stark's site - when he found that he turned around When he was about to leave, he subconsciously said, "Shall I ask Happy to take you back?"

Tony Stark, who turned his back to him and walked further and further away: "No, I know how to get to the subway."

It's very true that the first thing New York's richest man learns after he becomes a penniless trotter is to ride the subway.

Downey looked back at Dr. Banner next to him: "Maybe we can make a cup of coffee and have a good chat about Hydra?"

The doctor stretched his arms with a smile: "Welcome back."

Tony Stark walked to the corner, stood under the streetlight and took a last look in the direction of the tarmac.

The doctor with a gentle temperament gave his teammate who had just returned from the mission a warm hug. Downey also smiled and stretched out his arms to hug him back. He seemed to have said something during the process. The doctor smiled and shook his head. Afterwards, they picked up the airtight cabin on the ground , talking and laughing back to the Union Building.

Tony Stark stood there for a while, the streetlight above his head cast a distinct shadow.

After a while, he lowered the brim of his hat and walked into the subway entrance.

Everyone is afraid of the North Brooklyn public security district. At night, even groups of black people will not pass through here, and the surroundings are so quiet that only the chirping of insects can be heard.

Tony Stark saw his short-haired cat downstairs who liked to lie on the lid of the trash can to bask in the sun again, but this time the cat didn't bow and blow its tail as before when it saw him, it seemed Finally getting familiar with his scent, he opened his eyes rarely, and stared at him with light brown eyes, as if observing him.

Tony Stark paused for a moment, then looked away, and returned to his dilapidated rental apartment, sat on his dilapidated sofa, and turned on his electronic rock music.

Music with a strong sense of rhythm immediately filled every corner of the rental house, but that didn't make the man feel how lively the room was, but instead made the room terribly quiet except for the music.

The data cables and messy drawings all over the floor reminded him of the garage he had been in for two years.

This gave him a feeling of being beaten back to his original shape.

The man leaned on the sofa, his keen hearing allowed him to faintly hear the scratching of the door mixed with the noisy electronic music.

Tony Stark: "Friday."

Smart butler: "It's the short-haired cat, Sir."

Tony Stark frowned: "What does it want to do?"

Smart Butler: "You can't expect a smart butler to understand what a cat is saying." Friday paused, "But I guess he might want to find a place to shelter from the rain?"

Tony Stark heard the words and found out that it didn't know when it started to rain outside the window.

He turned over on the sofa, tried his best to ignore the harsh sound of scratching the door, and rationally told him that he should find something to do now, such as reading the script again, or routinely maintaining the Mark 20, but he didn’t know why , as soon as he returned to the rental house, he became irritable for no reason, and even became addicted to alcohol again.

He pulled the tab off the beer can and drank it in one gulp, then crushed the can and threw it into a distant trash can.

Tony Stark felt that he must now look like a frustrated middle-aged man who encountered an economic crisis and was laid off by the company and could only drink away his worries.

He scratched his hair, took off his shirt, and was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower before deciding what to do next.

The phone in his pants pocket vibrated suddenly.

Tony Stark took out his phone expressionlessly, and raised his eyebrows when he found out that it was a text message from Downey.

Downey: [Are you home yet? ]

Downey: [The information copied from the Hydra branch has been deciphered, but the content is a bit complicated, and your communication area happens to be connected to the network security department of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm afraid that if you send it directly to you, it will be intercepted by the network . ]

Downey: [I'll see you tomorrow? ]

Tony Stark looked at the text message on his phone.

After half an hour.

Tony Stark: [Hmmm. ]

Avengers Hall.

Donnie looked at the short reply on the phone, thought for a while and replied: [I'll be there at eight o'clock tomorrow. ]

The virtual light screen in front of him was just deciphered, densely packed with Hydra branch information, and Dr. Banner, who was sitting opposite the sofa, was summarizing the information by category. He seemed to think of it and asked in the process: " Where's Sol?"

Downey took back his phone: "He has rushed back to Asgard to receive his prize."

Doctor: "It's what he was talking about every day some time ago. Who can throw the tree root farther in the competition?"

Downey took a sip of the coffee on the table: "I'm not sure, you know he wouldn't tell me that."

Dr. Banner: "I thought your relationship would improve after you finished the mission together this time?"

Downey was noncommittal: "Probably." He turned off the light screen in front of him, "At least now we won't rush to fight with each other as soon as we meet."

The doctor couldn't help laughing, and then, after seeing a certain word on the light screen: "The will of the universe?"

"This thing is more complicated." Downey stood up from the sofa, "I will talk about it together during the meeting after the captain and the others return from Paradise Island."

Dr. Banner nodded, looked at the obscure content on the screen, and suddenly asked, "Tony."

Donnie stretched his waist: "What?"

Dr. Banner; "Your friend today always looks familiar to me—have I met him?"

Downey, who had just reached the stairs, paused. He turned his head to look at the back of the doctor's head on the sofa, "Maybe, do you remember anything?"

The doctor turned his head to look at Downey: "Should I remember something?"

Downey shrugged: "Maybe you saw it when you bought breakfast? After all, New York State is not as big as you imagined."

The doctor hesitated, "Probably."

After Dr. Banner finished speaking, he looked back at the information on the light screen. Downey waited in place for a while, and after confirming that the doctor had nothing else to say, he turned and walked into the workshop.

About half an hour later, Dr. Banner, who was about to sort out the information, slapped his forehead.

He remembered!

Dr. Banner smoothly called up the entertainment news that he had just seen this afternoon from the light screen. On it was a moving picture. In front of a building, a tall man turned into an Iron Man and flew into the airspace of Manhattan. The wording is——

[The identity of the new Iron Man is exposed—is his identity actually an actor? ]

The new Iron Man who has been making a lot of noise in the news in New York these past two days is the man he met just now. Dr. Banner raised his eyebrows. Of course, this is nothing surprising, at least it proves that the man is trustworthy.

Thinking this way, the doctor was about to close the news frame, and then he saw another line of big characters next to the close button in the lower right corner.

After seeing what is written on it.

Dr. Banner: "..."

Dr. Banner: "Doesn't Stark Enterprises have a PR department? Won't this news affect their stock price?"

Smart Butler: "The image public relations of Stark Enterprises are under the jurisdiction of the former Director of Arms R&D Department, Doctor."

Dr. Banner: "..."

Well, it's understandable that this kind of news will appear. After all, you can use your fingers to know how popular the board of directors of the former arms research and development department is after closing down the arms research and development department and transforming to clean energy.

only--

Does the person involved in the news know about the news?

Obviously, Downey didn't know.

So after finishing the daily maintenance of the armor in the workshop, sorting out the news of the Hydra branch, detecting the energy of the cosmic will fragments in the airtight cabin and adding a few tight defenses outside, and then in the early morning After going to bed on time at one o'clock and sleeping.

The next day, Downey was wearing normal clothes, went to the breakfast shop to buy a breakfast out of courtesy, and stopped in front of Tony Stark's house on time.

The door of the rental house was ajar - Downey had discovered from the first time he came, that Tony Stark had no habit of locking the door at all.

There was a cardboard box outside the door, inside the cardboard box were some clothes, a short-haired cat was lying, and a half-eaten can of cat food was next to it.

Downey reached out and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened from the inside. Tony Stark, who had just taken a shower, was still naked and only wearing a pair of pants, stopped at the entrance, with a stinky face as always.

Downey is obviously very used to the other party's unfriendly face even when it is expressionless. He glanced at the cat in the cardboard box staring at him curiously: "Do you have one?"

Tony Stark turned and walked back to the room, and wiped his wet hair with a towel wrapped around his neck: "No."

Donnie glanced at the cat again, and then followed the man into the room: "Actually, it's not bad to have a cat. I planned to have two at the time, I mean—— oh."

After he saw the room clearly, he took it back.

Donnie looked at the rental house in front of him that had obviously been tidied up, and the curtains on the two windows were drawn, and it was bright even if the lights were not turned on—he didn't mean how clean the room was, because it should be a mess The wiring is still a mess, but at least—

"Have you cleaned up the room?" Donnie looked at Tony Stark's back in his shirt, and put the bag of breakfast on the vacant space on the workbench. "Coffee and cheese tuna sandwich."

After getting dressed, Tony Stark stopped in front of the workbench, staring at the steaming breakfast for a while: "Where's the Hydra information?"

Downey put the data chip in his pocket on the table: "It's all here."

The man inserted the data chip into the system host, then sat on the only chair in front of the workbench, and began to copy the data information on it.

Obviously, Tony Stark didn't have any experience in receiving guests. After scanning the rental house, Downey sat on the sofa facing the TV.

The television was on, showing the morning entertainment news from New York State.Downey glanced at Tony Stark who was working: "Do you want to turn off the TV for you?"

Tony Stark has always had the habit of working while listening to the sound on the TV, without raising his head, he said, "No need."

Donnie didn't say anything more. The data volume of the Hydra branch was huge. Even with Friday's calculation speed, it would take some time to write all the information into the main system.He picked up the remote control, just about to switch to the serious news station.

On the screen, the blond hostess, who had finished communicating with the director, was holding a brand new cue card, and the high-pitched voice deliberately raised to suit the nature of entertainment news suddenly came to an end when Downey recalled the old-fashioned way of changing TV channels. sounded.

"Now we have a new piece of news, New York's richest man Tony Stark's love affair has been exposed in a high profile—"

It was a very entertaining way of broadcasting news. Tony Stark, who was reading and writing data on the workbench, turned his head and looked in the direction of the TV.

Then a dynamic picture appeared on the screen, still Tony Stark changed into the Mark 20 pair in front of the building, and after that, there were photos of the blue and white armor on the sightseeing island and the invasion of the Eternal Rebels in Midtown High School At that time, the media captured images of black-gold armor and gold-red armor flying into the battlefield one after another.

Hostess: "—to spend a lot of money to give your lover three steel armors?!"

For a moment, the rental house fell into a dead silence where no one spoke except for the voice of the hostess.

Downey, who was obviously busy dealing with various things as soon as he came back, did not pay attention to the entertainment news: "???"

Tony Stark, who never pays attention to entertainment news: "?????"

The two looked at each other across the sofa.

After a while, Downey heard Tony Stark say in an obviously restrained tone: "Except for the Mark 20, I made the other two by myself."

The point is this? ? ? ?
