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

tank

When Tony Stark returned to the aircraft carrier workshop, there was only one minute left before the second space jump.

Everyone was busy doing their own things, and not many people noticed Tony Stark coming in from the door, except for Don who was sitting at the table frowning and studying the thumbnail of the Amit galaxy on the virtual light screen. Ni.

He looked up and glanced at Tony Stark, who walked over to the S.H.I.E.L.D. staff and sat down next to him: "Is there any problem in the back cabin?"

Tony Stark: "...Functionally, it's fine."

Donnie didn't doubt him: "You've been away for so long, I thought you were repairing something else." He drew a circle on the virtual light screen with both hands as he spoke, and the light screen reversed following his gesture , facing Tony Stark who was sitting opposite him, "You came just in time, I have something to discuss with you."

He pointed to the red dot on the light screen: "Our final jumping location is Polar Star City, which is the closest to Asgard. It is the place with the highest oxygen content in the entire Amit star. The captain said that it is very suitable for army stationing and combat transit."

One of the characteristics of adults is that they quickly forget about everything they don't want to do when they are working.

Tony Stark: "What do you think?"

Downey: "You know I'm not very talented when it comes to marching and fighting."

Tony Stark unscrewed the mineral water bottle next to him and took a sip. Hearing this, he paused: "I always thought I had it."

Downey froze for a moment, after realizing what Tony Stark was referring to: "Sorry, I don't mean anything else."

Tony Stark glanced at Downey, to be precise, at the black marks under Downey's eyes: "I don't have one either." He changed the subject, "Have you found out where Saul is?"

Mentioning this Downey gave me a headache: "The range of the satellite scan is the entire edge of the Amit star, and the vegetation coverage rate reaches 40.00%. Those trees that look exactly the same will not tell me where the Silver Night Forest is through the video."

Tony Stark: "Maybe you can ask the aliens in Polestar City for help."

Downey: "That's the only way to go."

After he finished speaking, he retracted the light screen in front of him, and Melinda's voice came from the cockpit at this moment.

"The second space jump will start after the countdown ends, five, four, three, two—"

"one."

The familiar feeling of weightlessness struck again, Downey's eyes went dark, and he waited for the dull sound in his ear, like something heavy falling into the water, which lasted for about half a second.

"The jump is over, and the device is being checked for abnormalities."

Just like experiencing ten [-]-meter bungee jumps in half a second, when your feet feel the feeling of the soles of your feet touching the ground again because of the gravity system of the aircraft carrier, an uncontrollable feeling of dizziness, nausea and vomiting also hits, and it is worse than before. Once more serious.

Donnie stood up from the chair, and waited for the dizziness to pass.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

The bathroom is at the corner at the end of the main control room, because it is a dead end and does not lead to anywhere except the bathroom, so there is no one except Downey.

Donnie rinsed his mouth several times with clean water, and washed his face again before he managed to suppress the nausea. He propped his hands on the sink, combed his wet forehead hair with one hand, and shook off the water on his hands. Zhu, when she was about to turn around and leave.

"Donnie?"

The still dizzy brain didn't react in time, and Downey subconsciously turned around: "Why—"

He paused at this point, because his dull brain finally realized at this moment that the voice that called him just now was not Tony Stark, or even a man, but——

He looked up at the person standing behind him. The Black Widow was still wearing her tight black leather battle uniform. When Donnie turned around, her face was expected but also a bit unexpected, complicated. look.

Neither of the two spoke first. After being silent for about half a minute, it was Downey who spoke first: "What's the matter, Natasha."

The Black Widow stood where she was, and as the agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who was rated number one by Hill many times in terms of reconnaissance ability, she looked at Downey seriously: "I heard Robert calling you Downey at the Malibu Sea Villa. She observed Downey's expression, "Actually, Dr. Banner discussed it with me in private long ago. No one really thinks that a gun can make a cranky temper overnight, unless He really has Alzheimer's."

Downey's temples were throbbing, "Don't mention that rotten meme, please."

Natasha: "So I came to you for an explanation."

After finishing speaking, she added another sentence; "Alone."

Downey stretched out his hand and touched the space between his eyebrows: "What do you want to know?"

Natasha's tone was decisive. Although she was not sure that her guess and reasoning were correct, as an agent, at least her tone was always firm: "You are not Tony Stark."

Downey didn't nod, but he didn't deny it either.

Natasha paused: "So who are you?"

To be honest, Downey and Tony Stark didn't intend to hide this matter from the Avengers for the rest of their lives, but the incidents happened one after another in the past few months, and he couldn't find a good opportunity to talk to them. Who has a showdown, and the obstruction of the will of the universe is also one of the considerations.

But being discovered and taking the initiative to show your cards are two different things.

Downey took a deep breath: "Didn't you still call me just now? I'm—"

Natasha keenly felt that Downey paused when he said this. The vigilance from the agent made her feel that she would definitely hear a lie to prevaricate her, or something else. Tell the truth, and according to the high IQ shown by the man in front of him, his lies must be so superb that people can't even puncture them.

Black Widow frowned, and then heard the person in front of her say with a blank expression.

"Pigskin."

Natasha's expression froze.

Downey couldn't help but patted his forehead after he finished speaking, as if unwilling to give up, before Agent Natasha Romanov could react——

I am banana.I am an aardvark.I am Pineapple.I am Windmill Villa.

Natasha couldn't believe what she heard.

Downey uttered more than a dozen inexplicable nouns like a broken can. In the end, it seemed that even the force that stopped him was unwilling to think of new words, and would just keep repeating pigskin.

Downey rolled his eyes: "Comeon."

He looked back at Natasha, and could only say, "It's not that I don't want to say it, Natasha, but it's more complicated to explain, especially now that we have other things to do, and I bet I won't be able to explain it until we finish this matter." I will find a way to give you a reasonable explanation in the future, but now you just need to know—"

He spread his hands: "I have no malice."

Of course Natasha knew that Downey meant no harm, otherwise she wouldn't have come here alone.

"I didn't intend to ask you anything."

She tried her best to ignore the meaningless but inexplicable brainwashing terms still in her mind, and said her biggest purpose for coming here: "I just want to tell you, no matter who you are, at least for now, you are a pig—— No."

Natasha took a deep breath: "You are an Avenger."

Downey was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but after a few seconds, he still said something with a sincere expression.

"Thank you."

After finishing speaking, the voice of the pilot Melinda sounded again throughout the aircraft carrier.

"The last space jump will start after the countdown, five, four, three, two, one—"

The feeling of weightlessness was repeated twice again, and the dizziness of jumping in space struck again. This time Downey skillfully supported the sink next to him and rinsed his mouth a few times, while the broadcast to the entire aircraft carrier paused for a few seconds.

"Destination, Pole Star City."

"Landing done."

……

……

Polestar City, the closest to Asgard in the entire Amit galaxy, directly communicates with the transportation hub of Asgard and other regional trading ports. In the description, this is a hub city that is too prosperous.

But after the aircraft carrier completed the jump and landed on the open space in the suburbs, after the arranged personnel of the first team walked down the passage.

What everyone saw was a dead city devastated after the defeat.

There is still a long-lasting smell of gunpowder and war between the nostrils. The aircraft carrier seems to be parked in the central square of this alien city, and the surrounding buildings are scattered outwards in a spider web. At least from the foundation planning point of view, this place was indeed a bustling city ​​of.

But now it has been burned to nothing but wall skin and wood ash.

After the aircraft carrier stabilized, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents took tools and began to set up temporary signal coverage equipment near the aircraft carrier, while others—

"Honestly, I don't really like it here."

After being in this universe for a few months, Downey is now able to climb down from the spaceship along an almost vertical passage with great agility.After landing smoothly, he looked up at the sky above his head.

The temperatureless sun was covered by black clouds, the entire sky was as red as blood, and even the surrounding environment was illuminated in warm colors.

"I've never heard Thor say that the sky on Amit is red."

As the negotiated vanguard, only six Avengers were allowed to leave the safe range after the spaceship docked. Patton and Hulk of Peanut Butter, who have unlocked the code lock, and two Iron Man teams, go out from three directions respectively, with the purpose of finding living organisms, or any clues about the Silver Night Forest.

The environment similar to the earth makes them uncomfortable here because the temperature is too low, everything seems to be no different from the earth.

Downey was wearing normal clothes, and the surrounding temperature was very low, but he could feel the scorching temperature of the surface after stepping on the ground, as if the fire that burned the city had not completely subsided, unwillingly retaining residual heat on the surface .

"They say the whole alien world is at war." Downey followed Tony Stark and turned on the thermal sensor on his watch strap, "I thought Manhattan was miserable enough, but now it seems that we are lucky, at least Wall Street Even if Bainaohui is destroyed, it is still very prosperous.”

"That shouldn't be called luck. The reason why Bainaohui is still prosperous now is because we won." Tony Stark said and looked around, the thermal scanner on his wrist did not move at all.

They can only go in a different direction from the other two teams.

Downey carefully observed every trace of the post-war here, as if trying to detect with the naked eye whether there are any survivors here: "So I said that it is not a bad thing to show weakness."

Tony Stark: "I think they don't take human beings seriously, so they don't even want to bring the earth to launch a space war."

Downey spread his hands: "So they failed, three times in a row." After he finished speaking, he tapped a few times on the virtual light screen of the bracelet, "And I still feel that, at least as far as I am concerned, my luck has not been too bad .”

As soon as the words fell, the diffuse heat source search instrument suddenly rang. Downey raised his eyebrows, looking at the red dot on the coordinates of the light screen that was less than five meters away from them: "Look, what did I say?"

Donnie didn't need to do anything, Tony Stark locked the position of the red dot as soon as the instrument sounded, and the nano-metal under the skin surface of his arm penetrated, and he quickly assembled in those few steps towards the red dot. Assembled together into a metal glove, Tony Stark easily lifted off a whole piece of metal wall buried on the red dot, and the creatures inside seemed to be frightened, and fled out with a chirp.

The creature was about the size of a fist, and after being frightened, it quickly ran past Downey's feet. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like an intelligent creature that would tell them where the Silver Night Forest was. Downey was a little disappointed: "A mouse ?”

Tony Stark patted the dust on the armor gloves: "Probably."

He said that he was about to leave, but as soon as he straightened up, he caught a glimpse of an object the size of a fingernail in the ruins, falling into the burnt black soil, reflecting the light.

The metal glove was taken back, Tony Stark bent down to pick up the fragment, frowned after looking at it carefully.

The fragments were thick and veined, as if they had come off some piece of shattered armor.Downey walked up to the man in two steps, and after looking at the shard for a while, he said, "Do you think this type of metal looks familiar?"

Tony Stark: "Like Thor."

As he said, he slid the metal across the groove of the watch strap on his wrist, and the voice of the smart butler immediately sounded in his ear: "During metal composition analysis, loading——"

When Downey systematically analyzed the metal composition, he picked up the dead branches on the ground and dug around the area where the piece of armor was found. Unexpectedly, he found more pieces of armor buried underneath.

"I only said to Sol before that the birds on Amit love to collect these shiny things." He looked at the armor on the ground that was probably buried in the nest of the alien mouse just now, at least a dozen pieces of armor Fragment, "He didn't say that mice would too."

Smart housekeeper: "The metal composition analysis is completed, and the composition fit is 100%."

Tony Stark pulled out the light screen from the strap: "At least we have a clue now."

After he finished speaking, he entered a long string of codes on the light screen, and then pressed Enter. The thermal searcher was immediately replaced as the search source, with the armor component as the search target, and the signal connected to the temporary signal tower radiated outward. In just five seconds, there was a beep in feedback.

Downey watched what gradually appeared on the light screen. Starting from them, they lit up 50 meters away and then meandered upwards until they stopped at the green dot behind the highest pile of ruins hundreds of meters away.

He deduced the cause and effect almost instantly, for example, where a warrior wearing Asgard armor stopped after being defeated, dragging the broken armor, and the alien mouse had already collected the food within a radius of 50 meters before they arrived. All the pieces of armor, if they had come a little later, the clues might have been buried entirely under the ruins by the rat.

Downey raised his eyebrows, "Look, I said I've always been lucky." He paused after speaking, "But the radiation range of our thermal searcher is one kilometer."

Tony Stark frowned immediately.

As if thinking of something bad, they rolled along the green dot to the back of the ruins at the fastest speed.

Then he saw Tang's Asgard soldiers in broken armor on the scorched black and red ruins.

Sol said that Asgard's troops were named Holy Army. The soldier was seriously injured, his armor was dilapidated, and the blood that flowed out from nowhere seeped into the ground, leaving a coagulated blood stain all over his body.

Everything seemed so logical, except—

The person in front of him has no body temperature.

Downey and Tony Stark glanced at each other, he took a tentative step forward, just about to check each other's breath, the next moment——

The sound of the sharp blade cutting through the air was fast and clear. Before Downey could see what happened, he was pulled back by a huge force. Before he could react, Tony Stark was already standing in front of him.

And at the position where he was standing just now, the soldier who had been judged dead by the thermal system raised his spear at his neck.

He slowly raised his head and opened his blood-soaked eyes, like a drowning person being rescued from the shore and his lungs sucked in air again. A short hoarse cough sounded from his throat, and then his whole body hurried And breathe hard.

Even his voice was hoarse.

"I'm alive?"

The moment he finished speaking, the nanocommunicator next to his ear vibrated crazily.Then came Barton's voice asking for help.

"I need help, we're surrounded—!"

The two frowned at the same time. Downey glanced at the soldier lying in front of him, and quickly reached out and pressed twice on the reactor on his chest.

Liquid metal seeped out from under the skin, enveloping Downey's whole body in a short time, splicing it into a complete steel armor.

"Look at him, I'll go over."

After speaking, the thrusters of the limbs emitted flames, and quickly flew towards Barton's point.

Patton encountered the group of soldiers ambushing halfway in the 10th minute after leaving the aircraft carrier. It looked like a group of defeated remnants. The leader was wearing a red cloak that had been torn off in half, wearing damaged silver armor, and holding a long gun. long-haired woman.

Because the thermal search device couldn't find their existence at all, the two stepped directly into their encirclement. The group of soldiers was quite polite, but they surrounded them and didn't attack them immediately. Self-reported family, so the situation was stalemate there for a short time.

In the chaos, whoever's spear stabbed Hulk's ass was unknown.

Then everything went wrong.

The female leader opened Barton's bow with a long spear, and after half a minute of melee combat, she found a flaw in Hawkeye's attack, grabbed his wrist and cut it back behind her: "Who are you!"

Barton: "Earthlings!"

The female leader obviously didn't believe it: "Who are you?!"

Patton: "I told you, Earthlings!"

The female leader: "How could people from Earth be here!"

Button: "Why is it impossible for people on Earth to be here!"

Female Chief: "Tell your friends to stop!"

Barton glanced at Hulk who had almost knocked down all the soldiers: "If you don't let me go, how can I make him stop!"

The female leader: "I just grabbed your hand, not gagged your mouth!"

Button... The situation is very complicated, and Button didn't know how to explain it for a while, but it was within the few seconds he hesitated.

Hulk had knocked out all the soldiers surrounding him with brute force, when Barton thought his next step was to deal with the woman behind him who seemed extremely difficult to deal with.

Hulk scratched his head, and snatched from a soldier a weapon that was as long as his arm, dry, and looked like the thigh of some kind of creature—they had heard Thor say it before Yes, a special product from the planet Amit, some kind of monster legs dried in the sun, not only hard enough to smash a wall, but also to use a special knife to cut down the meat in case of food shortage.

Hulk gnawed a quarter of the "weapon" in one bite, making a sound as if he was chewing some metal.His eyes lit up after swallowing the leg meat: "Oh, Hulk likes beef."

Barton: "..."

For a moment, compared to his teammates who sat down and ate the monster's legs.

He felt that the Valkyrie who might be cutting him behind him was more reliable than this big green man.

Fortunately, at the next moment, a familiar figure appeared in Barton's sight with fire.

The extremely fast steel armor came in front of everyone in the blink of an eye. Downey raised his hand, and the wasp turret on his arm and the locking missile on his shoulder popped out at the same time. The concentrated light in his palm aimed at the head of the female leader behind Barton.

"I suggest you let him go, ma'am."

The female leader looked at Iron Man hovering in the air, not only did not let go, but also kicked up the spear that was knocked out by Barton in the fight with her left foot, caught it with one hand, pointed the tip of the gun at Barton's neck, and threatened The tone said: "Who are you?"

Some kind of symbol was engraved on the tip of the spear held by the female leader, exactly like the one on Sol's helmet.Donnie glanced at the tip of the gun through the helmet, then at the half-torn cloak behind the female leader, and then pondered for half a second.

"Are you from Asgard?"

The Valkyrie froze for a moment, and then, as if touching some kind of forbidden word, her expression suddenly became ferocious: "Who are you!?"

Because of her suddenly excited tone, the tip of the spear moved forward a little. Barton only felt a tingling pain in his neck, and then the warm liquid flowed down.

He glanced at Iron Man who was hovering in mid-air, and then at Hulk who was sitting on a stone not far away and had the legs of a monster.

Barton held back, but didn't hold back.

Rolled a huge white eye.

"Who they are I don't want to find out anymore."

"But you may be a repeater."
