The man paused and looked up at the clock on the wall.

"I thought it would take at least an hour for you to explain those three messages to them."

Downey turned his back to the door, holding a semi-automatic screwdriver in his hand, and seemed to be modifying a small part of some armor: "They are not as slow as you think, Tony, Barton even found a better analysis diagram than the one I drew. A metaphor for understanding."

After finishing speaking, he put down the screwdriver in his hand, and began to slide the light screen in front of him: "How is the contactor setup?"

Tony Stark: "I am spreading the source of the signal, and it will take a while to search for the signal of Asgard."

Downey could only say: "Then we can only pray that Saul really just went back to Asgard to have a celebration banquet as he said, instead of being forced to participate in some sudden cosmic war."

Although that possibility is slim.

At the end of the morning meeting, Downey and Steve discussed briefly, and finally decided to inform SHIELD and the coalition government of the news. As they expected, the president's solution was still the same. It is a usual method used by the US government. They have always been good at whitewashing peace when the situation can be controlled, exaggerating their achievements when the situation is difficult to control but can be solved, and when the situation is difficult to control and difficult to solve.

They began to pretend to be deaf, as if they hadn't heard anything, and hid their panic, trying to find ways to satisfy their growing desires before the end came.

"The state sales tax in New York State has been raised to [-] percent."

The work in hand has just started, and Downey's private number has already received several messages one after another.He took the time to glance at the above content, and concluded after finishing the last sentence: "They are probably crazy about money."

Tony Stark still focused on the ever-expanding signal search source on the screen, and continued to input the diffusion code, as if the money was just a string of numbers in his eyes.Of course the same is true.

"We didn't expect them to be helpful."

Tony Stark can be completely indifferent to these matters of the company, but Downey still can't bear to leave all the big and small affairs to Ms. In a few minutes, I looked at all the schedules and various applications uploaded by various departments after the change of quarterly revenue and tax amounts sent by Ms. Rennie, and then——

"I've screened all the applications and contracts, and I'll send them to you if there's no problem. Just pass it to Lenny after you sign it."

Tony Stark's finger-tapping action paused, and he turned his head to look in Downey's direction: "You should know that I won't say the same topic a second time."

Obviously, Downey, who was refocusing on making parts after resolving those contracts, didn't notice the change in the man's tone. He still said casually, "That's not necessarily the case. We didn't know each other before."

Tony Stark: "I said you can decide these things, I'm not kidding."

After he finished speaking, it was rare, as if he was speculating on Downey's preferences-although he didn't think Downey would like it, but in case, who would have trouble with money in this money society: "And if you If you are interested in company management, in fact, I don’t have to be the CEO.”

Downey was still assembling his parts carefully: "Yes, of course, I remember when I played Iron Man 2, you gave the CEO to Pepper, and you made her the chairman of Stark Enterprises. But I don't know that Tony Stark in the comics thinks that way."

It seemed that the part was not installed satisfactorily in one place, he threw the part into the remodeler next to him, and picked up a new one: "But you don't have Pepper, you only have Ms. Lennie, so at least this can be done. To confirm one thing, which independent comic of Iron Man probably came from?"

Tony Stark looked at the back of Downey's head casually: "During the two years I was locked in the garage, I really thought about letting Lenny be the CEO."

Downey: "Leave him alone, President, in the month I replaced you, she has not once whispered in my ear that she has one year to retire."

Tony Stark: "So I've been looking for someone else."

Downey: "Like?"

Tony Stark: "Robert Downey Jr.?"

Downey smiled, "Are you talking about yourself?"

Tony Stark: "I'm talking about you."

This time, Downey finally stopped.

He turned his head: "Stop joking, you know all I want to do is act."

Tony Stark looked at those warm brown eyes full of shock with satisfaction.Is it a joke? You can say another way: "At least now you can listen to me carefully."

Downey spread out his hands: "I was serious just now—"

Tony Stark: "You were just seriously fiddling with your parts."

Downey paused again, yes, he inherited Tony Stark's genius brain, but at this moment, even a genius brain seems unable to logically deduce Tony Stark's mental activities and motivations.

He could only turn around and fiddle with his parts again: "At least I have to finish Peter's suit before we determine the next move. He can't fight criminals in a rag."

Tony Stark frowned.He could still say something, but at this moment the light screen in front of him heard a beeping sound, and the man had to turn his head back, looking at a bunch of useless cosmic signal points searched out on the light screen, while tapping hard. Enter the code on the keyboard to delete those signal points, and couldn't help but said: "I don't really want to understand why I got so close to that little high school student. I once gave a high school student an answer to an advanced math problem in a speech. They said the guy was a math genius, but the way he couldn't understand me made me think I was tutoring a school-age kid."

Downey raised his eyebrows: "Peter is not an ordinary high school student."

Tony Stark: "Yeah, he's still a huge fan of yours."

Tony Stark is very clear that his original intention of saying these words is not to belittle anyone, and he doesn't actually hate the little high school student.

So, Downey replied: "You can also say that, but he is very smart, at least he will not be a school-age child in your mouth."

after.

He had the privilege of once again hearing Tony Stark comment on Peter Parker in the same tone that he once described Captain America as "a popsicle with a chip and dip bowl and an American flag on it": "Yeah, a smart guy with unique taste." Arthropod baby, the favorite thing to do is to make a New York supervillain who sprays ketchup with his left hand and salad dressing with his right hand into a mummy with his spider silk, and being cut into clips of embarrassing videos and posted on Youtube, except that his brain is really easy to use At one point, he even asks you to sew the broken clothes."

The man's voice was very deep, and as an adjective ghost, he no longer had the irritable gnashing of teeth when he mentioned the Avengers, so to Donnie's ears, it was more like a daily complaint among friends: "Excuse me, are you here?" Did you think when you made these cutting-edge suits for him that he’d slip in some heart-print pajamas and hellokitty pajama bottoms?”

So Downey replied more often: "Thank you, I also have a hellokitty pajamas, whether it is in this world or my original universe."

Tony Stark said nothing.

Downey: "So you have a problem with this breed of cartoon cats?"

Tony Stark tapped his fingers on the keyboard, his mature face expressionless: "No. I let the cleaning robot clean Katie's room twice a day."

After the man finished speaking, he fell silent again.

Then belatedly, I realized why Donnie named the shorthair cat he picked up Katie.

He tilted his head and glanced at Downey's back from the corner of his eye. He felt that he still couldn't appreciate the pink cartoon image based on his tough guy aesthetics of those steel armor designs. If Tony Stark said this, he would only think it was a greasy aesthetic disaster.

But if the same type of pajamas were worn by Donnie——

Donnie, who had his back turned to him, suddenly smiled.

Tony Stark frowned.

This scene was as if the picture in his mind was seen just now, and his inexplicable guilt made him involuntarily harden his tone: "What are you laughing at?"

Downey: "It's nothing, it's just that the way you looked just now made me suddenly think of my past object."

Tony Stark: "Your date?"

Downey's tone is coherent, and he is still fiddling with his parts seriously while talking. It cannot be said that he is absent-minded, but when people are focused on two tasks, they will indeed ignore some factors around them and only focus on talking by themselves, so he even in the moment No one realizes what his words mean.

"Marisa—is my partner, she is excellent and independent, but you know very well that women are generally more sensitive, sometimes I ignore her because of some things, she will be like just now—"

Downey paused at this point.

He didn't know if he would have the chance to return to his original universe in this life, and he had been trying to avoid recalling that universe, so he interrupted his own topic: "Sorry, my analogy is not appropriate."

As for Tony Stark.

There are too many elements in Downey's short sentence just now, and he didn't even know which one he should care about first, so he could only subconsciously pick the one he cared about the most: "I thought that even if it was an analogy, I would It should be based on the identity and perspective of a boyfriend."

Downey: "...The point is this?"

Tony Stark: "What else?"

Downey: "At least when I made similar jokes with other crew members in the past, their first reaction was to deny our relationship?"

Tony Stark's tone was too natural: "We are even married in the eyes of the media."

Downey: "That's what the media said, we didn't—"

oh oh.

When Downey said this, he finally stopped his question-and-answer state, and after realizing what he said when he was absent-minded, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Tony Stark.

As he thought, the man also stopped his hands and looked at this place.

The blue eyes stared at him intently.

He seems to have screwed up something.

This was not Downey's original intention, probably because he habitually relaxed his nerves after the war, so that he forgot a problem that he had been trying to avoid before.

And now he's even laughing and bumping into it head-on.

Indeed, evasion is not the key to solving the problem, but at least for now, for Downey, this is probably the most time-saving solution before facing an unprecedented battle.

He tries to get away with it: "Uh, I mean, I guess I have to—"

But someone just wanted to get to the bottom of it: "What did you want to say just now?"

Tony Stark glanced at Downey's right hand subconsciously grabbing the edge of the seat: "We didn't—what?"

Downey opened his mouth, and after thinking about countless excuses and wordings, he finally responded with the most authentic way of being discouraged: "I don't think it's suitable to discuss this now, Tony."

The man pursed his lips.

The entire workshop was silent for two seconds, after which he said again: "Then let's discuss something else."

Downey didn't expect the other party to let go so easily. He exhaled calmly, turned around and continued to solve his parts problem: "About what?"

"about--"

Tony Stark paused for a moment: "Some thoughts on the brand new and completely different armor you mentioned."

Downey: "Yes, I've already drawn the design. I should be able to complete the internal circuit design of the fourth-generation spider armor within three hours. Then we can discuss what needs to be changed."

After finishing speaking, Downey added: "We don't have much time left."

Tony Stark looked at the dense signal points on the light screen, and clicked and deleted one by one irritably: "Yes."

No one spoke anymore, and the workshop became quiet because the two of them were busy again.

On the metal wall opposite the light screen, Tony Stark's face was vaguely reflected on the bright blue screen. He had a usual expression on his face, and no one could see what was going on in his heart from this expression.

No one knew what the question he wanted to ask just now was.

He stopped the moment before asking.

Tony Stark is very clear about his own character. He is proud and strong. He used to never show weakness, but now he can only change it to almost no weakness. He doesn't think there are many things in this world that can scare him, because he even died Not afraid.

But at this moment he admitted that he was afraid.

He was afraid to hear other answers.

In fact, what he wanted to ask just now was.

——After solving the problem of the will of the universe, if we are still alive and the earth is still safe.

—Would you consider staying?
