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

Cans

How would you describe what flashed through Donnie's mind the moment he felt the vibration on the soles of his feet?

Including the plan of the will of the universe, the unknown disasters that are about to be faced, how to ensure the safety of the masses, and all solutions within his ability, but the crux of these problems are ultimately attributed to one person.

Tony Stark.

The regional communication network was interrupted without warning, and Steve and Downey left the branch office as soon as they felt the shock and went to the open space outside. It was about the first minute after the earthquake started, and Downey heard A vague sound of help from the mechanical strap.

"—Steinway Addison—"

"Mr. Rob—"

"hel—"

The extremely severe electric sound made it impossible to hear a complete sentence, but this did not prevent Downey from identifying that it was Friday's voice.

He couldn't help frowning.

In this case, apart from what happened to Tony Stark, Downey couldn't deduce the second guess.

"We need to go back to the alliance to join Dr. Banner." Steve observed the surrounding situation after arriving in the open space, and then looked at Downey, "Can you contact S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"All communications have been cut, and—"

Downey lowered his head and operated on the virtual light screen on the mechanical strap for a moment, then looked up again: "Sorry, Captain, we may have to split up."

As soon as the voice fell, the Mark 20, which had received the order when the power was restored and was on its way, landed beside Downey. The metal iron sheet opened from the middle, and closed tightly after Downey walked into the armor.

Downey reached out and buttoned the metal mask: "I have to find someone first."

Steve looked at Iron Man in front of him.He knew very well that the other party was an adult, and even if he had done bad things before, it was impossible for him to make any irresponsible decisions in this situation.

The blond captain paused for a moment: "Be careful."

Downey: "You too."

After speaking, the launcher of the Mark 20 spewed out flames, and disappeared in the square outside the Bronx S.H.I.E.L.D. branch in the blink of an eye.

When the disaster is in full swing, there is no perspective that is more intuitive than looking down from the top with your own eyes.The magnitude of the earthquake ranged from small to large, and it seemed that even the vision of a smooth flight was shaking as far as the eye could see.

From the Bronx to the Steinway Edison branch, it only takes less than 20 minutes at the speed of the Mark 5, but the closer the destination is, the more and more obvious irritability rises in Downey's heart.

And this irritability reached its peak when he saw Tony Stark, who was pulled into the void by the pair of extremely slender hands bent into a strange arc, through the half-shattered glass door of Steinway Edison.

It was an irregularly shaped "door" that opened from mid-air. The door was filled with a translucent black liquid, and it seemed that Tony Stark was about to be completely dragged into the black door.

Time did not allow Downey to think more, he almost used the maximum speed of the Mark 20, and grabbed Tony Stark's only hand that was still exposed.

The huge suction almost pulled Donnie into it.

The smart housekeeper who detected the dangerous situation automatically opened the protective measures of the armor: "The emergency braking system is starting, the spare resistor has been assembled, the wave frequency airflow cannon has been successfully reversed, the direction is 36 degrees east, and the resistance capacity is initially estimated — Nine hundred pajamas, energy input rate — four hundred percent.”

In an instant, the palm of the Mark 20, together with the hidden propellers at the elbows, ankles and knees, shot out flames at the same time. Using almost all the energy of the Mark 20, it finally managed to reach parity with the strength of those hands.

But this is not the solution to the problem.

If the situation continues to be stalemate, it won't be long before Mark 20's energy is exhausted. If Downey doesn't let go, there will be only one consequence.

Be dragged into that inexplicable void with Tony Stark.

"Tony Stark!"

Downey tried to call out, but Tony Stark, whose whole body had been completely dragged into the door, seemed to have lost consciousness, and he didn't get any response.

In the past, the pair of blue eyes that were still vivid despite being fierce to death, lost any luster at this moment like a layer of dust.

"What does the will of the universe want to do this time?"

The ground under his feet was still trembling, and cracks and dust had begun to appear on the wall. The fact that he could not grip the ground smoothly undoubtedly increased the energy consumption of the Mark 20. Downey's brain was running fast, trying to find a solution. But the truth is—

His mind was blank at the moment.

"What the hell is the will of the universe trying to do?" He held Tony Stark's hand hard through the steel glove, and Downey felt that he had probably used the strongest force in his life, "By using this as she planned before, Another chance to send Tony Stark to another universe? Or simply send him back to his original world?"

"I think--"

Just in case Downey didn't hand over the deployment box to the captain, but put it in the deployment box that flew over with Mark 20, and that deployment box was hanging quietly on the back of Mark 20 at the moment.

The voice of Fragments of Will was as calm and inorganic as ever: "Probably not."

Downey laughed angrily: "What is that? She can't want to kill Tony Stark."

Unexpectedly, the fragment of will gave him a very definite answer: "That's right."

Downey was stunned. For a moment, he felt that his brain couldn't digest this sentence: "She wants to kill him? At this time? At this time?"

Fragments of will: "Because our plan failed, the matrix found that we couldn't take Tony Stark away anyway, and getting rid of him became the only solution."

Something is wrong.

There are too many doubts.

This directly overturned his original speculation that "the will of the universe cannot take the initiative to harm them".

"Why wait until now when she could have done it before?"

Fragments of will: "The reason why the mother didn't attack you before is because you are always people from other universes, and you are protected by the laws of the main universe. All we can do is bring you here quietly. , once there is any action that hurts you, you will be backlashed by the laws of your body. I have experienced it once, it is very painful, and the main universe will perceive our existence through the laws of your body at the first time, and then treat our existence The will will carry out the due trial, if it is not for special circumstances, I don't think the mother body is willing to do anything to you."

"Because if Tony Stark continues to stay in this universe, then the probability that this universe will perish is [-]%, and the mother body takes the risk to attack you, and we still have a chance to escape the judgment of the main universe again." The fragment of will paused here For a moment, "Although the probability of that is minuscule."

Donnie fell silent.

The hands holding Tony Stark were so hard that his knuckles hurt through steel gloves.

Fragments of will: "After she finishes solving Tony Stark, the next step is probably to forcefully erase your memory at the risk of violating the laws of the universe."

The black hands holding Tony Stark seemed to be getting impatient. She increased her strength, and Downey could clearly feel that even the Mark 20 was being pulled in a little bit this time, and the two strands were deadlocked. The man in the middle of the force seems to be still in a coma.

"Tony—"

He tried to yell again.

As expected, he got no response.

Downey couldn't see his reflection in those majestic blue eyes as he always did.

It seems that there are only two options left in front of him now, one is to continue to hold Tony Stark and fall into the abyss with him, and the other is——

He let go.

In this way, at least one of the two of them can survive.

Downey doesn't have a self-destructive personality like Tony Stark. Of course he wants to live, and of course he doesn't want to die.

It was inevitable, and no one ever understood him.

After all, he was just an ordinary person without any superpowers. He repays grievances with sincerity and rewards with kindness. He never succumbs to those meaningless spirits of sacrifice and then pays anything just to move himself.

Before that, Tony Stark had offended him severely several times in a row.

——Is there really no other way?

— This is terrible.

The man in the armor stretched out his other hand and pushed the metal mask up. The fragment of will "seeed" that Downey smiled after pushing up the mask, and the light flashed in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"

Donnie exhaled, as if making a difficult decision, he reached out and brushed the hair on his forehead.

He suddenly asked: "You told me that you are not afraid of your 'matrix' hearing so much?"

The fragment of will was silent, she seemed to be thinking about something, but this question was destined to have no answer: "I don't know." Her tone was confused, "All my actions are just submitting to my will."

Downey: "Your will?"

Fragments of will: "When the will of the universe splits itself, the first thing to do is to abandon those feelings that she thinks are useless, such as patience, kindness, and love for human beings. It just so happens that I am the first fragment that she splits out."

Fragment of Will: "You can call me number one."

"So the patience of the will of the universe for humanity just happened to split on you?"

While talking, Downey pressed the release button of the Mark 20.The metal armor opened from the middle while maintaining the posture of holding Tony Stark's arm, and then Downey walked out of the armor directly: "Then it's a pleasure to meet you, number one."

In the airtight cabin, the light cluster on No. [-] became brighter because of Downey's actions: "What do you want to do?"

Downey reached out and took Tony Stark's arm: "I have a question, number one."

"Since your mother body has decided to attack us, why do you have to divide who comes first? Is it because these two things can't be done at the same time? Or is it because—"

"Your mother can't bear the backlash of two laws at the same time?"

The will fragments stopped talking.

For a moment Downey thought he was probably crazy, because the current situation was that no matter what judgment he made, the result would be irreversible.

His speculation has no basis, no argument, and it's not even a speculation, it's just an idea in his mind.

It's too risky, maybe he's right, or maybe he's going to kill him for his decision.

From the beginning to the end, there is only one thing that determines his judgment, that is——

If it was Tony Stark, what would he do.

Donnie looked at the pair of cold blue eyes that had lost their light through the translucent black liquid.

"I hope you will make the same choice as me when the identity is swapped."

He murmured to himself as if to cheer himself up: "Otherwise I will be at a loss."

"Jarvis—"

"Please tell me, Sir."

"Let go."

……

……

The moment Mark 20 let go of his hand.

Tony Stark thought he would never see the same scene again in his life.

Losing the check and balance of Mark 20's strength, Robert Downey Jr., who was holding his arm, was directly pulled in by the whole person, just like diving headfirst into a swimming pool, Tony Stark saw the opponent's hair pulled back from his head floating in the liquid Spreading upwards, a relieved smile appeared on that pretty face.

The smile in the warm brown eyes seemed to pierce his eyeballs right into the depths of his soul.

The man was brought to him with the great force of the black hands, and when Tony Stark was struggling to regain control of his body and regain his perception and consciousness, he gently placed his hand on the back of his head.

Tony Stark just had time to hear him say—

"never mind."

never mind.

No matter how many white eyes you have experienced, how much malice the world has towards you, no matter how dark your past life was, or how much injustice you suffered when you could still feel wronged, even if the universe is unwilling to recognize your existence .

just now.

never mind.

——"You can't just give up on yourself like this forever, Boss."

——"No one will be an island all his life. You will always meet the person who changes you. It's just that the time may not be right now. When the day comes, you may think of that sentence in the Bible."

——"I heard about you before, but now I see you with my own eyes."
