[Comprehensive] Science and Magic

Lian was taking him to check out.Laura watched Peter put on the helmet and turned into a cute little Iron Man, and couldn't help showing a smile: "When you have an ordinary person beside you, he obviously has no magic power, but he uses his ingenuity to do it. To do something that many wizards can't do, to take on responsibilities that don't belong to him—it's hard not to be touched, isn't it?"

"You mean Stark."

"Correct."

"To be honest, since Stark became Iron Man, many people have changed their views on him." Natasha said, "After all, he was really romantic and unrestrained before."

Laura smiled and said, "He's still flirting with people now."

"But did you know that he recently donated all of Stark's art collections to the Boy Scouts of America?" Natasha's phone rang, and it was a new notification.She glanced down, then stretched out the phone screen in front of Laura, and continued: "And this."

What was pushed on the phone was breaking news: "The new CEO of Stark Industries: Pep Bertz, is it a new stage of development or is Iron Man's wayward move?"

"Tony has never wanted to be entangled in company affairs... This decision is not unusual." Although Laura only learned the news, it didn't surprise her too much."He's always been more of a scientist in a lab than a businessman," she understands.

Natasha raised her eyebrows."But donating property, entrusting a company, it's more like to the average person ... you know, more like executing a will," she said.

Laura scowled.

Laura knew that something had been wrong with Tony lately.

After becoming Iron Man, his life schedule is much healthier than before.He began to pay attention to physical exercise and learned to fight, and the small belly left by the extravagant drinking gradually disappeared.His drink has changed from coffee, wine and other choices to a single chlorophyll juice (to be honest, this thing is really bad).He also paid more attention to Stark Industries than usual, and set the development goal of "clean energy" for the company, and negotiated several big orders, which made Pep secretly moved and screamed, "The boss has finally changed his gender."

But recently, he has a tendency to revert to his old ways.

The list I made was ignored, and I left a mess for Pep, and now I just let her take over Stark Industries directly; I started drinking again (the chlorophyll juice did not fall), my work and rest were upside down, and I spent all night in the studio , I don't know what to study.

It stands to reason that Laura thinks that they should have established a good partnership when they jointly studied magic, and they even upgraded Jarvis together.But Tony is not very willing to see her now, he rejects all of Laura's concern and kindness with cold words and jokes.

Laura always thought he was just a diehard.But this time Natasha reminded her.She had to have a good talk with Tony and find out what was going on with him.

The author has something to say: Note ①: There are several theories about Spider-Man’s parents, which are not specifically mentioned in the MCU. This article adopts this statement: the Parker couple are colleagues of Dr. Bruce Banner, and they worked in Dr. Banner’s He died while transforming into the Hulk.

Chapter 16

Before Laura's vacation is over, another major accident occurs.

When Tony went to watch the Monaco Auto Race, he participated in the racing activities himself.On the field, Tony met a man who had the same reactor as him and a long whip in his hand.Fortunately, Tony has developed a portable Mark suit and carried it with him, and they fought a fight that attracted worldwide attention.

Although Tony won without a doubt, voices questioning him also came one after another.The lingering Senator Stan questioned that Iron Man's suit technology had been leaked, and the world would fall into danger and chaos.After all, Tony had vowed and confidently declared that it would take at least another 20 years for others to catch up with his technology in the hearing of the Senate’s questioning.But now, at this very moment, there has been a fairly successful imitation.

When Laura got a call from Pep in Alaska, she opted to return immediately to Malibu.

"Oh God...Laura, you're back!" Pep, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, first spotted her, she cried out in surprise, and then covered her face with her hands.

She looks like she's about to break down.

Colonel Roddy on the side greeted Laura and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry to call you back suddenly... I heard that you are on vacation with your friends."

"It's okay...what's the situation now?" Laura asked.

"Tony locked himself in the basement and didn't let anyone in." Colonel Roddy walked back and forth in the living room, saying anxiously: "I can't hold back from the military... You know, Tony has been The military is very dissatisfied with the refusal to hand over the battle suit technology. It was justified... Now that something like this has happened, he must have an explanation, otherwise I doubt whether they will drive armored vehicles to take the battle suit take the clothes away."

"And our Mr. Tony Stark is neither willing to talk to us about how to deal with this matter, nor is he willing to undergo a medical examination! Now he is still thinking about the Stark Expo!" Pep collapsed Shouted, "God, can he just stop being so ego...I've had like a thousand calls and I can't take it anymore..."

Pep's phone rang again.She took a deep breath, answered the phone calmly and said, "Hello."

Colonel Roddy showed a helpless expression.He looked at his watch and said softly, "I have to go first... Laura, if there is any progress, please let me know immediately."

Laura nodded.Pep answered the phone still with forced composure, and Laura gestured to her, and the apparition disappeared.

". . . I suggest you tell Johnson Jr. . . . "

Laura heard Jarvis say this when she suddenly Apparated in Tony's workshop.The next moment, Tony said loudly, "Mute."

"What do you want to tell me?" Laura asked suspiciously. "And why did you mute Jarvis?"

Tony shook his hand casually, turning off the virtual display in front of him.Laura sharply saw the information of the whip-throwing guy on the display screen.He said casually: "It's nothing. I just suddenly found out that Jarvis seems to be a little bug...he talks too much, blah blah blah." Then he frowned again and reminded: "I remember my house There is a gate, Miss Johnson."

"I'm sorry," Laura said insincerely, "but you don't seem to be ready to open this door for us."

Tony picked up the sports water glass on the table, which was full of chlorophyll juice.He took a few sips and said, "I just want to be alone for a while. By the way, aren't you on vacation with your magical friends?"

"They're not all 'magic friends'...and, do we have to talk in the dark?"

Since Tony turned off the monitor, only the faint light of the wall lamp remained in the entire underground studio.

"Ah, I like this atmosphere. This atmosphere is very good." Tony said, "Why, you are also here to persuade me?"

Laura moved closer.She wittily changed the subject and said jokingly: "I just heard that my boss is spreading money everywhere, so I ran back to curry favor with him and see if I could get something good. You know, the administrator The assistant has turned into the CEO now - I think maybe the life assistant can also be assigned a little..."

Tony raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Laura to say that.He winked at Laura immediately, and said glibly, "You could have, but you forgot that you declined my proposal... To be honest, I haven't dated a witch, it's a pity in life."

"Ah...that's it." Laura nodded suddenly, and echoed, "I feel like I've missed hundreds of millions of dollars."

With a ding, a new message came from Laura's phone.It's Natasha's.

"I have to take back what I just said, it seems that I didn't miss it—" She pointed the phone screen at Tony and said, "I just received a few small properties from a certain billionaire. The value is not high, Just a few hundred million."

"Wow, that's lucky," Tony said grandly. "You can finally move out of your tiny apartment."

Laura continued to scroll down the information, and said while reading: "Yes, but it seems a bit unfortunate for you, boss. Because the villa you are in now belongs to me."

Tony shut up for a moment.He muttered: "I remember I did it under the hood—I'm going to fire this lawyer, what kind of underhanded is that?"

"Oh, don't be so harsh. After all, there are people in my government." Laura waved her phone and took a few steps closer to Tony.She said seriously, "Do you really have nothing to tell me, Tony?"

Tony was silent for a while, fiddled with the small metal box in his hand.He said a little awkwardly, as if it was hard to say: "Well...Since you found out, I have to tell you in advance——You have been fired, Miss Johnson."

"what?"

"You have been fired." This time he spoke much more fluently, and he came over and patted her on the shoulder, "Your task has been completed, and those properties are your compensation. Jarvis's assistance in leveling up... Sherlock Holmes will be alone for the next part of his adventure, and Dr. Watson will be no longer needed - or rather, "

He intentionally used a slippery tone, leaned close to Laura's ear and said suggestively: "
