The Stark Paradox

When Tasha received an emergency call from Brandt, she was in the middle of a boring debate with KSI's stubborn half-bald, trying to persuade the stubborn guy not to blindly pursue immediate interests.

[Hey, Tasha, my tires have been cold for so long...it doesn't seem to be going well? 】

[That's why I don't like being on boards.When I tried to explain long-term benefits to him, he talked to me about science, I talked to him about science and he talked about the future, and when I tried to talk to him about long-term development, he talked about new energy... He is talking about new energy with me?

!seriously? 】

[Tasha, calm down. 】Jazz held back a smile to appease his friend who was about to explode in the paint.

【I'm considering the possibility of letting Carroll acquire KSI directly...】

[madam...the probability of this proposal being passed is below 23.7...considering the risks and public effects...I don't recommend this option. 】

[... Sir, I thought this was our special line... When did you let Jarvis connect? 】

【Uh... this is a request from Carroll...】

[When you said this 'request', did you include the words 'if you don't follow through, I'll explode your egg'? 】

【... She didn't say she was going to step on my balls. 】

[That's because you don't have that thing, dear, I'm [-]% sure, what you said was a threat, not a request. 】

Tasha rubbed her temples to hide the smile on her lips, and said so in the interior.

In fact, she just casually talked about the acquisition of KSI. KSI is now in the limelight, not to mention how much it will cost to acquire. Just for the public benefit, Tasha can think of the big headline on the financial section of the New York Times the next day when she closes her eyes. Stark monopolizes industry competition.

Tasha could list on her toes a thousand and one reasons how stupid that idea was.

One of the things she regrets most now is that she promised Optimus Prime to come here to 'talk'.

But somehow, before she really ran out of patience and was ready to seriously study the plan to bankrupt KSI, an emergency call hit her internal line.

【Oh my god, you are really my little angel~】

"Ms. Stark..." Brandt's slightly embarrassed tone sounded out after three seconds of silence.

[You really...] Tasha couldn't think of an adjective in the middle of her sentence, so she shrugged instead, but suddenly she remembered that the other party couldn't see this [What's the matter? 】

"About Owen Xiao, we have a whereabouts..."

"..." When Tasha heard this name, she completely ignored the spitting of the guy in front of her who was still trying to argue with her, and focused all her attention on the inside line.

This inside line is open to Jazz, and she is very sure that the other party understands their conversation quite well.

"But now there is bad news." Brandt obviously understood the meaning of the silence on the other end of the phone, so he continued, "It's not just us looking for him, the FBI is already preparing to close the net."

You government departments never learn to coordinate with each other, do you?

"..."

"........."

Then she noticed that everyone present was looking at her, which made her realize that she might have accidentally said the words again.

Late night, Spain.

O'Connor and Dominic were rushing to the airport with their brothers in a flying car, trying to stop Shaw at the last moment.

According to the original plan, they should have succeeded by now, and the family reunited to hold a celebration banquet.But obviously, they underestimated Xiao's power, and because they neglected the mole around Hobbs, they had to let Xiao go-but they would not let him go so easily, because Dom

Nick's sister and O'Connor's wife Mia was taken hostage by Shaw.

"I said, it's really earth-shattering for you to make a deal." When Dominique heard such words in his ears while he was concentrating on chasing the plane, his heart beat hard, and then he played it from his car audio He couldn't help laughing when the loud music

He came out and shook his head. He glanced sideways and saw the black and gold human-shaped metal shell trailing behind his vehicle in the rearview mirror.

A second later, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and amidst the deafening roar of the engine, the car flew like an arrow into the rear hatch of the plane that was too late to close, and smashed hard into the cargo box of the plane.At the same time, the black and gold humanoid armor landed on the ground with a very light posture.

next to him.

"Natalie." Dominic nodded to his long-lost friend. Since he met Tasha at home last time, he has been fleeing abroad, but that doesn't mean he hasn't followed the news.The alien incident in the Battle of New York has become a household name all over the world.Of course he didn't either

Can miss the final dramatic twist of the statement conference broadcast live by countless media.

"Go home after finishing this ticket?"

"Go home when you're done."

"Oh, I will remember to invite you to the next party." Tasha tilted her head and said, "Can we compete later?"

"Forgive me, you're cheating."

"What are you talking about, Dom, I created Jarvis by myself. Using him to navigate is not considered cheating, it is a kind of strength." Tasha stretched out a finger and shook it at her friend, Then he raised his hand and blasted a woman who was secretly trying to harm them with a repulsive cannon.

*****

"It was forced by the situation. Shaw used my friend's sister as a shield. It wasn't Treto's fault." Tasha explained to Ethan on the phone on the way back.

Last night, after she got the news that Treto's team had confronted Xiao, she ran over immediately and wanted to catch this guy and ask him about Destroyer's whereabouts, but during the battle on the plane, Xiao was accidentally swept up by the air current. went out and hit a car and there was an explosion leaving no bones

live. The IMF's clues to track down Destroyer were cut off.

"We always have other ways, Destro won't keep shrinking." Tasha said so, not knowing what the other party said, and finally she hung up the phone.

"Not smooth?"

"There are gains and losses." Tasha rubbed her painful temples and said, it is a good thing that the Tretto family has been exempted, but it is not such a happy thing that Destroyer's whereabouts are still unknown. She shook her head and decided to temporarily Don't think about it for now, look at your watch, "We have to go back to the university quickly.

Xia, Laoqian said before that they have completed the modification of the space bridge, and they will conduct a test today. "

At the same time, the death squad who had just completed a mission was resting in a bar.

Barney looked at Christmas who had just gone out to answer the phone and came back with a livid face, ordered a bottle of wine for him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"..." Christmas didn't answer in a hurry, but poured half a bottle of beer into his mouth, then put down the bottle and shook his head, "My brother Owen is dead."

"Your brother?" Barney's eyebrows were about to go up to the sky. He only heard Christmas mention his younger brother twice. It seems that brothers are not very harmonious... But death is a big deal, so he patted Christmas comfortingly. "Sorry, do you know what's going on?"

"..." Christmas didn't speak, just nodded slightly, his narrowed eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

Stark Tower, Bottom Lab.

"Tasha...I don't think this value is right?" Tianhuo asked a little uneasy, staring at the soaring value on the screen.

"Then find out what's wrong." Tasha pursed her lips and took a last look at the constantly beating value, then at Skyfire and the ambulance who were busy. "Do you have the coordinates of the location?"

"possible……"

"We are scientists, so don't say such imprecise words as maybe maybe maybe, okay?" Tasha quickly interrupted the ambulance.The other party pursed his lips and gave her a dissatisfied look, then continued to bow his head and type on the keyboard quickly.

"Madam... Maybe you need to pay attention to the top of the building." Jarvis interjected at this moment.

"what?"

"This is impossible."

For a moment, all the science-savvy people present raised their heads and said to the ceiling, and then all looked at the ambulance.

"We didn't set the test coordinates directly above us! I'm not stupid!" The ambulance looked at the questioning eyes around him and felt offended, so he shouted.

"Decepticons?"

"This reading doesn't look like the radiation value of the land bridge." Tianhuo shook his head and denied the guess, "The readings are already off the table."

"Then we can only change our thinking." Tasha stared at the image above the building projected by Jarvis.Clouds gathered in the originally blue sky, twisted into a ring in a very strange way, and faintly fluctuated.

It felt like she hadn't lived in ten years.

Before everyone could react, she was already dressed as Iron Man, and flew out of the underground passage without looking back.

"Hey!" Jazz looked around at the guys who were all looking at him, and shrugged awkwardly.

When Skyfire landed on the top floor of the Stark Building with Jazz and Jack, the changes in the sky had reached the final stage.

"Back!" Tasha, who was wearing a mask, made her expression invisible, but this did not prevent Jazz from hearing a sense of urgency from her electronically synthesized voice, so he did so without hesitation and pushed to the edge of the building.

Tasha stared closely at the wormhole that gradually formed, and the changes in the sky every second made her more and more confirmed her guess.

It was a wormhole, and thanks to the alien invasions she had encountered in the past and the influence of a friend who liked to study the multiverse, she would never admit it wrong.

Usually, the opening of this thing is as unknown as the lottery draw.

It's a matter of probability, but it's not what she likes.

But what she can do at this moment is to keep a close eye on it, so that she can stop whatever comes from the wormhole in the first place.

Then a light flashed from within the sky, growing stronger and stronger.

Tasha lowered the armor's light filter and stared at the opening in the sky.

Then she saw several people jumping from inside.

The leader is wearing a black and blue tight uniform, with gray temples, and the number 4 in the circle on his chest marks his identity.

Tasha took a step back slightly...

She never thought that one day she would see these people again.

She looked at the leader, lifted her mask regardless of Jazz's obstruction, and walked in front of the other six people, watching the leader nodded and smiled at her.

She pursed her lips, and finally chose to greet in the most bland way——

"Hi Reed, long time no see."

The author has something to say: The Easter Egg at the end of Furious 6 mentioned that Owen Shaw’s brother is going to take revenge in the next film, because the actor is Statham, so here I directly set the Christmas of Expendables as Xiao’s brother.

The next chapter begins with the story of the Women's Federation.The plot is related to the big comic event Infinity and the Illuminati. If you haven’t read it, it doesn’t matter, I will write it clearly.

Throwing a black and gold color version of Iron Man's armor in the V5 period of the Women's Federation comics... I personally think it is much more handsome than the gold and red color...
