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

For a moment, the rental house fell into a dead silence in which the brainwaves of the two seemed not to be on the same line.

Even Tony Stark, who was already used to this kind of news, felt a sense of staying out of it after expressing his initial opinion: "You should learn to get used to this, after all, you are the richest man in New York now."

The man said, picked up the breakfast that Donny bought by the workbench, and opened the paper bag outside the sandwich: "It is very likely that you talked to someone on the way, and the next day you will inexplicably find that you have an extra you even A mistress who doesn't even know her name, who doesn't limit her gender."

Sitting on the sofa, Downey couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Thank you then, at least I know the name of the mistress this time."

He said that he picked up the remote control again and planned to turn off the entertainment news that only had one picture and the content was all edited. Then, he heard Tony Stark reply: "Of course, it was said in the news."

"It's Robert Downey Jr."

Downey's hand, which was about to press the TV off button, trembled, and slipped to the side to increase the volume by mistake.

Hostess: "As early as a week ago, the paparazzi photographed Tony Stark visiting the Bronx Racecourse. It can be seen that the two of them behaved very intimately in the picture—"

On the TV screen, at the Bronx Racecourse at night, in a typical paparazzi shot like a ten-layer mosaic, Tony Stark and Downey in armor and costumes stand face to face under a tree.

Their demeanor is so intimate that Downey thinks he could just take a step back and there would be a whole Harpy between them—the one played by the Iron Man director.

Downey: "..."

He turned off the TV in silence, took another look sitting on the workbench eating his sandwich for granted during data copying, and licked the corners of his mouth triumphantly after he fell silent, as if it was his pleasure to sarcasm others One of Tony Stark, after taking a deep breath—

Forget it.

Of course he can find a hundred sentences to fight back, yes, but it's not necessary.

A mature adult should know that good mornings are not for this.

"The people of Hydra also know about the will of the universe." He stood up from the sofa, stopped in front of the light screen, glanced at the information transmission bar that was about to end, and tried to bring the topic back to the point, "And what they know even More than us."

The voice of the smart housekeeper came from the virtual light screen at the right time: "The data transmission is complete, and it is being decompressed. The decompression is successful, and it has been imported into the system database."

Just as Tony Stark reached out his hand to operate, Downey standing next to him dragged out all the information before him. The man glanced at Downey's face and raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything this time , moved the chair under his buttocks and moved it to the side calmly.

"Fragments of the will of the universe can provide them with a steady stream of energy, and they seem to be gathering this energy to try to build a huge Rosen Bridge, which is their half-finished communication base, and the destination is set at- —”

Downey dragged out the data on the light screen: "Beyond the universe."

If someone asked them what is beyond the universe before experiencing all this, they probably would not have any concept other than nothingness.But after being exposed to the idea of ​​parallel universes from Master Ancient One, one thing is certain.

Beyond the universe are other derived universes, even—

main universe.

"They're thinking about mastering the universe?" Tony Stark swallowed the last bite of the sandwich in his mouth, stuffed the bag into the trash can next to him, paused and said casually, "The motive is very clear. Fragments of Will said The derivative universe is very unstable, and may face the risk of being hit and destroyed at any time. If they know this and want to pass through the Rosen bridge between universes to reach the most stable main universe, everything is easy to understand. "

After he finished speaking, he frowned again: "But building a Rosen bridge connecting universes requires a large enough energy."

Downey: "So they imprisoned the fragments of mind."

Tony Stark: "According to you, the will of the universe is a victim of their ambition."

Downey pursed his lips: "I'm not sure."

There are too many mysteries in a series of events, and countless questions follow one after another. They found clues, but they found more and more questions instead of answers along the clues.

Why does Hydra know about the parallel universe, what is going on with the fragments of will, whether all this has any connection with alien forces such as the eternal rebels, and even what purpose the will of the universe itself has.

As if they were in the torrent of a huge conspiracy, even the change of their identities was full of a certain purpose.The only good news is probably——

"S.H.I.E.L.D. recently has to deal with their internal undercover affairs. The clues are broken here. There should be no more missions to go out until the next Hydra branch is found." Downey turned and half leaned against the workbench and stopped. On the Mark 20, "At least you have time to shoot your scenes."

Tony Stark looked at the message on the light screen: "I have time, after all, it's your job to save the world now." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Downey, "Iron Man."

Downey couldn't help frowning.

I don't know if it was because the two quarrels they had when they first met impressed him deeply, or because Tony Stark had made a clear and bad attitude on this matter, but Downey subconsciously felt that Tony Stark was still What I care about is that the knowledge in his brain is "forced to plagiarize", so he brings up these topics frequently.

Especially when he acts casual.

Because it seems that mentioning it unintentionally can prove what a person is thinking in his heart.

Downey could only say, "You don't need to tease me with this topic every time."

Tony Stark, who was watching the information on the light screen intently, obviously didn't pay attention to Downey's expression: "I'm just stating the facts?"

Donnie looked at the man in the cheap white shirt in front of him.

The sudden change of identity will indeed bring about a huge psychological gap, so when facing Tony Stark, he will always involuntarily give in. He thinks these reasons probably come from the exchange of their identities. If it would be worse——

Then that person is undoubtedly Tony Stark who lost everything overnight.

But Downey is also very clear that he himself was never the culprit of all this, and he doesn't want to hold grudges because of these things after they've gone through them together.

In particular, they're supposed to be the ones who know each other best in a universe that's unrelated to both of them.

"I thought the purpose of making Mark 20 for you was not for you to wear him and stand by and watch us save the world." Downey said calmly, "Just like the incident in the Hydra branch this time, don't you also Come to help?"

Downey thought about the wording: "I know what you think is good, whether it's from making steel armor or forming the Avengers together, otherwise I wouldn't defend you in front of those media-I don't know what I want to express Is that right, now everyone is saying that the Avengers has two Iron Man, and you also said that even if you disappear from this world, there is at least one Iron Man here, but actually discussing these is meaningless.”

Downey looked at Tony Stark: "This world doesn't need you to prove anything through death. Even if the will of the universe doesn't recognize you, facts are facts."

Downey said with a smile: "Tony Stark, a genius, scientist, and patriot, was able to build the first generator in the garage when he was four years old, and he had more than 13 patents around the world when he was [-] years old. The richest man, a superhero, although he has a bad personality and is facing a trough in his life, but—"

In terms of encouraging people, it has been officially certified that he has always been as good as memorizing lines.

"Even if others have your technology, your armor, and even your brain, you are the Iron Man."

"The one and only."

Tony Stark didn't speak, but the speed of the information on the light screen was obviously slowed down by Downey's words, and when Downey said the last sentence.

He no longer had a clear idea of ​​what was written on the light screen.

The pair of rich blue eyes moved, with a little inexplicable uneasiness rising from the bottom of my heart and a strong urge to say something to refute.

This is really a strange phenomenon. When he is sarcastic, he always speaks out of his mouth. When someone slanders him in person, he can slander him a hundred times as long as he wants to respond.

But he didn't adapt to the current atmosphere at all.

This is ridiculous.

Tony Stark pursed his lips, trying to say something to cover up his ridiculous bewilderment, but then—

Downey: "And if I find a way to put everything back in place, I will go back sooner or later, including the person who seems to have replaced me in my original universe. After all, we didn't belong to these places in the first place."

He looked at Tony Stark: "So you don't have to worry about identity at all."

Tony Stark's gaze froze for a moment.

His eyes fell on the person standing next to him: "You want to go back?"

After seeing Downey nodded clearly.

Tony Stark frowned: "The mage said that your original identity has been replaced by someone else."

Downey: "That's why I also said that there will always be a way to put everything back in place. Even Hydra is trying its best to invade the main universe. This matter is much simpler than that."

Tony Stark looked at Downey with a natural expression on his face - of course, it's normal to have this idea of ​​wanting to put everything back in place.

Because their original lives were misplaced, and it was just an accident that they met, and if this accident hadn't happened——

He may never know that there is another person named Robert Downey Jr. outside the universe.

For a moment, Tony Stark felt that his brain was not enough.

In the past 30 years, apart from the three years when he was still crawling around like a normal baby, he has made many inventions and faced countless situations. In fact, he was on the battlefield when he was 12 years old. Yes, he has experienced many things that other people may not experience in their lifetime, but he feels——

It seemed that this was the first time he had faced such a thing.

what's up?

He doesn't know.

The people standing next to him didn't seem to notice anything from his expressionless face, but he was so careful, he would definitely find out soon——

When turning pages of information on the light screen, he could press the button to shut down the system by mistake.

Tony Stark simply turned off the entire light screen: "Yes, take what's in my mind back to your world, and I'm a star, and a genius inventor, I can already imagine it, the eyes of the whole world will be focused on you."

Donnie froze for a moment.

For a moment, he even thought that Tony Stark was intermittently deaf, which caused him not to hear what he just said.

He looked at Tony Stark, whose attitude suddenly changed: "I didn't say that. If I take a step back, I won't use it even if the things in my mind can't be eliminated by then. We are in a peaceful age, and we don't need it." What to defend with force."

Tony Stark: "Of course, you are in a peaceful age, and we are in a war because of my arms, I mean-in fact, even if you want to, you can't reach my heights, can you? Like what just happened That incident, I originally thought that invading a Hydra branch would be a trivial matter for you."

Downey couldn't adapt to the sudden change in the atmosphere for a while: "Tony?"

Tony Stark looked at the pair of warm brown eyes with inexplicable writing in front of him——

He was indeed a little baffled.

all the time.

"I thought Barton and Sol were the only ones who were so stupid in the alliance? No matter how many clues Hydra covered up, there must be some details that couldn't be covered up when traveling through the space wormhole, such as air pressure and circulation, and Sol couldn't find them. That's normal after all he's just picking out peanut butter when he's not fighting and drinking, but what about you? Didn't you find anything too? It's so weird, I can even imagine what it was like at the scene, and you inherited my— —”

"Your genius brain, I know it well."

Donnie frowned as he looked at the suddenly aggressive Tony Stark in front of him, as if he had returned to the first meeting.

He recalled what he said just now, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so the reason for all this was probably——

"If you really care so much about my 'plagiarism' of what's in your head."

No one can smile after being well-intentioned to encourage someone and then being ridiculed in turn.

Donnie met the other person's gaze and looked back: "I will find a way to return it to you. I don't need you to give me your brain. Every time this topic is mentioned."

Downey: "I think the one I used to have is enough. Maybe I'm not as talented as you, but I have learned a lot by myself. You probably don't know that I began to—"

He paused when he said this.

--never mind.

He unplugged the chip plugged into the machine: "Why should I talk about this to irrelevant people."

It seems that a certain word in this sentence completely ignited the fuse on the powder keg, Tony Stark said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I know about your bad things in the past."

Downey will not see his past as a scourge, because everything in the past has made him who he is now.

But this does not mean that he can accept other people to use this attitude and this description to mention those things.

The face of the man in the suit sank immediately: "So what?"

"Nothing." Tony Stark slowly stood up from his seat, "And you are still in the room of the unrelated people."

Donnie looked at the inexplicable person in front of him.

Why is there a word like moodiness in this world that seems to be born for whom?

He stared into those eyes and opened his mouth.

What he wanted to say but didn't say was——

In the 24 years since he was five years old until he came here, he has learned Wing Chun, Qigong, and Chinese Kungfu. He has no technical talent, but at least he doesn’t think he is bad in design and painting. He has learned vocal music and released albums. , can give everything for acting.

Because he started acting at the age of five, he is often older than many actors in the crew—especially after two years of rapid growth after experiencing the trough period—he will subconsciously take care of the same crew As an actor, everyone mentioned him the most, "he is considerate", "he helped me a lot", "he made you adapt to this place".

When he has humor and nonsense, he is also very popular, so he wants to tell Tony Stark that although Tony Stark has everything that many people may envy, he does not include Robert Downey Jr.

Downey is very satisfied with his life, so he is not complacent because he got everything from Tony Stark, and even on this basis, he has to help Tony Stark deal with his mess.

His extremely bad reputation, his extremely bad popularity and even his whole person is full of personality defects.

But in the end Downey didn't say it because he knew the words would hurt.

No one knows more about the power of words than he who has experienced the trough.

In fact, after returning to the entertainment circle for a long time, Downey has rarely quarreled with anyone. It can even be said that he has never had a fight with anyone.

The reason is probably that he faces the camera for a long time, and this phenomenon is caused by the fact that he pays more or less attention to his words and deeds even in private. They have no so-called idol baggage or so-called personality, but no matter where they are, an image It is very important to a public figure, especially a person like him who has an indelible black spot in his life, and the media is always happy to make a big fuss about him.

And if a certain image is long-lasting, what you do will become a habit over time.

Those two previous fights with Tony Stark were purely accidental and—

He really couldn't help it.

But this time, he restrained himself.

"I know why even a good-tempered person like Dr. Banner would agree to your release." He didn't poke the other person's shoulder or chest childishly like a child arguing, he restrained his tone One sentence said, "Listen to Tony Stark, step in here again next time, I will take your last name."

Tony Stark smiled: "Robert Stark? It's not impossible, after all, the news—"

A loud slamming door interrupted him.

Then there was the sound of rushing down the stairs.

Finally, there was the sound of the engine of the sports car parked downstairs, and the sound of driving away.

The rental house fell into silence again, only the short-haired cat at the door seemed not to understand the situation in front of it, and meowed strangely twice.

Tony Stark sat back on his seat again, and sat there for more than ten minutes. After that, he turned on the light screen again in silence, dragged out the message just now, and looked at it expressionlessly.

At this moment, Friday's voice came from the room: "Sir, maybe you should restrain your temper."

Tony Stark didn't speak.

Friday: "Your behavior does not conform to the norms of adult social behavior. According to the Human Behavior Observation Database, those words are very hurtful."

Tony Stark stopped what he was doing, and remained silent without saying a word.

Friday after a pause.

"He's your only friend now, Sir."

It seemed that this sentence finally touched the man sitting on the workbench.

He stopped what he was doing, and looked at the content in front of him that he couldn't even read a word.

Out of the corner of the eye at this moment, he saw the coffee on the side. Tony Stark looked at the coffee cup for a while, then reached out to pick up the paper cup that was only a little warm, lifted the lid, took a sip, and then wrinkled hard. frown.

Sweet as hell.

He put the coffee back in place, and looked at the information on the light screen again.

After watching for about 10 minutes, I finally found that he had reached the point where he forgot a sentence after reading it.

The man on the workbench stood up again from his seat a little annoyed, reached out to pick up the cup of coffee next to him and drank it all in one gulp, then crushed the paper coffee cup and threw it into the trash can.
