[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

She was about to walk back when she suddenly heard screams coming from the alley next to her.

Ruby hesitated for a moment, but still walked in the direction of the scream.

At a glance, she saw a girl surrounded by a group of glamorous and handsome men and women, who were wearing old torn clothes, huddled in a corner, and protected her head.

"Please, let me go..." she whimpered.

"I really don't understand how such an ugly thing has the face to live in this city. Look, is there any monster like you on this street?" said a handsome man at the head, "It's really an eyesore!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I, I don't have money, I can't afford it..." The girl was terrified and kept explaining.

"Shut up, you ugly thing!" The man grabbed her by the collar, "It makes me sick just looking at it!"

After speaking, he raised his fist and punched the girl in the face.

The girl screamed and fell to the ground, covering her face, trembling with fear and pain.

Seeing that the group of beasts in clothes would continue to fight, Ruby quickly shouted: "Hey! Stop!"

Everyone turned to look at her.

The young and beautiful girl stood at the entrance of the alley, covered in golden sunshine, like a perfect painting.She just stood there with a sullen expression, easily overshadowing all the supermodels on the street who used the Extremis virus.

At this moment, the bullies were breathing heavily.

"Of course we can stop, cutie..." said the man in the lead, and he approached Ruby while talking, "But we are really bored, otherwise, why don't you come and accompany us?"

After finishing speaking, he thought he was charming and smiled: "Of course, we will treat you very gently, as we have always treated beauties."

Ruby: "...really sick."

The man thought he heard it wrong: "What?"

"I said," Ruby raised her voice and scolded, "You are really sick! The whole city of you is very sick!"

It's morbid - this doesn't look like a normal human gathering place at all, it's all ridiculous to the point of laughing!

The man laughed loudly: "Yes, we are indeed sick. There is a part of my body that is uncomfortable. How about you come and help me treat it?"

The people behind him all laughed because of this dirty joke.

However, his laughter was quickly interrupted, and Ruby punched him in the face, knocking him several meters away, and fell into one with the cronies behind him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"It's uncomfortable, isn't it?" Ruby said, "It's not uncomfortable without it."

Ruby's fighting skills were taught by the Bat Master. The shot is called a quick, accurate and ruthless attack, which almost destroys him directly.

The man who was attacked at the important part suddenly widened his eyes and knelt down on the ground, unable to utter a word.

Ruby was about to get rid of these scourges when she suddenly felt a voice behind her. Before she could react, she felt something hit her back.

Suddenly, a violent electric current flowed through her whole body.

Ruby's entire body went numb from the shock—although the thing couldn't hurt her, the feeling of numbness was real. For a moment, she couldn't move, and she could only fall stiffly to the ground.

She turned her head with difficulty, and saw the blond young man who had molested her but was killed just now was standing behind her with a gun, looking at her maliciously.

"It's really... you don't eat a toast, you don't eat a fine wine." He said viciously, "I want to see what waves you can make!"

Ruby gritted her teeth.

Heck!

As long as Tony Stark didn't limit her skills, she now has a hundred ways to throw all these guys into the trash can!

Panting heavily, the blond young man rushed forward, grabbed her hand, buried his head between her neck and took a deep breath.

"It's so sweet..." His voice was hoarse.

Ruby was numb all over and couldn't recover for a while, trembling with anger at the man's action, wishing to wring his neck directly.

"Hey, first come first, first come first, do you understand? We found this girl first!" The man who was kicked by Ruby just now was not happy at all.

The blond young man raised his head and said with a smile, "Then, together?"

Those people suddenly showed evil smiles and rushed forward together.

Ruby took a deep breath, she felt her feet began to regain consciousness, and was about to kick this disgusting thing off her body on the spot, when suddenly she felt a blur in front of her eyes, and the blond young man screamed and flew out .

Ruby:?

She froze for a moment.

Afterwards, she heard screams coming continuously, and all the beasts in clothes who plotted against her fell into one piece.

Ruby felt her limbs regain consciousness. She sat up and looked at Tony Stark, who was wearing a white battle armor, descending into this alley.

He just stood there, like a heavy iron curtain descending from the sky, isolating all external dangers, and locking the prey firmly on the other side, indestructible and unbreakable.His spotless white combat boots made of hard steel trampled on the land of San Francisco, reflecting the dazzling sunlight. He was like an arrogant god representing light and war.

"Oh, what a coincidence." His tone seemed a bit regretful after putting down several people in an instant, "It seems that this city doesn't know its new little princess yet."

After speaking, he stood in the middle of the piled-up crowd and opened his arms to Ruby.

"Are you all right?" He asked softly, "My little girl?"

Ruby just paused for a moment.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through her head, and finally she made a decision.

She stood up, ran towards Tony, and threw herself into his arms.

She said tremblingly, "Tony..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Tony touched her soft hair and said softly, "I am here, and I will protect you."

Ruby nodded in his arms.

"Well." She whispered, "I'm sorry... I was too self-willed before."

Tony smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, I was much more rebellious than you when I was young."

He lowered his head and looked at the little girl's eyes that seemed to be filled with tears, and said in a gentle voice, "Then let's go home?"

Ruby nodded.

"Okay," she said.

Tony laughed, he held the little girl tightly in his arms, turned into a stream of light and flew towards the new Stark Tower.

In his arms, Ruby turned her face slightly, looking at the hell that looked like heaven under her feet.

The fragility in her eyes disappeared at this moment, leaving only the determination to move forward.

The extent to which this world has been eroded is much more serious than she imagined. Human nature is a fragile thing that cannot stand any test, and Tony Stark is too good at using human nature.

The world has experienced so many catastrophes, and behind every miracle of turning danger to safety, there is a tiny hope piled up by countless sacrifices.It's just that some people's sacrifices are as brilliant and brilliant as falling meteors, while others are like candles under a heavy rain. When they are extinguished, even the embers will be turned into mud.

So many people have died for this world, perhaps what she lacks is the courage to burn completely.

—she had to do something.At least, she should try to do it.

……

the other side.

Bat cave.

Bruce stared blankly at the information displayed on the computer screen, while Clark sat behind him without hesitation, talking to himself in a depressed mood.

"He said she was asleep, but what time was it then..." Clark held his chin, his face gloomy, "It's pure nonsense, it must be that Ruby doesn't want to see me, what should I do, Bruce, why isn't Ruby afraid? And you, you have a straight face tomorrow, and you look much more fierce than me..."

Bruce: "..."

He ignored Clark's complaints, turned his head and said seriously: "When you went there, did you notice anything strange?"

Clark froze for a moment: "Strange place?"

Bruce nodded.

Clark pondered for a while: "It seems that there is indeed. The people in that building are very beautiful."

Bruce said softly: "... Extremis virus."

A question mark appeared above Clark's head: "What?"

Bruce: "Any other questions besides that?"

Clark thought about it, and said hesitantly: "Yes, I can't seem to hear the sound inside that building, as if it was deliberately soundproofed."

Bruce narrowed his eyes.

Deliberate soundproofing... Is Tony Stark hiding something?

"What else?"

"..." Clark thought hard for a while, then shook his head, "Not anymore."

"I looked up the information about the last battle between the Avengers and the X-Men." Bruce said, "The information I got so far is that they once had a personality change."

Clark: "Have they all converted back?"

"That's the official record," Bruce said.

Clark nodded: "That's okay, otherwise there will be a big problem."

Bruce seemed a little speechless, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "What if some of them haven't been converted, but just pretended to be converted?"

Clark is not stupid either. After hearing what Bruce said, and then referring to the context, he immediately understood what Bruce meant.

He stood up abruptly from his seat.

"You mean... Stark might not have been converted back?"

"Ruby has a strong seductive power. Once the desire for power exceeds the limit, he will have a desire for her." Bruce said, "After the last incident, Stark suddenly showed an extraordinary love for Ruby. interest, the change is too abrupt...but it's just my suspicion and guess."

Clark took a deep breath: "I'll go to San Francisco again."

Bruce turned to look at him: "Okay, but remember, don't show any hostility or abnormality under any circumstances, let alone do your hands."

Clark frowned: "Why?"

Bruce looked directly into his blue eyes, and said word by word: "Because if our guess comes true, then what we need to face next... is a person who has completely lost his sense of morality and possesses extremely powerful strength. high-IQ monsters, we cannot afford to lose the first-mover advantage.”

If Iron Man lost his warm heart, completely abandoned his moral code, and completely lost his bottom line, what would he look like?

Clark just thought about it for a while, and felt suffocated.

It suddenly occurred to him that he once had to deal with people who had lost most of their sense of morality.

That person has almost no bottom line, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, but at least he still has principles and a sense of responsibility, and he is not even the number one target he has to deal with, but just an incidental tool-even so, he can still play himself. Go round and round.

He can't deal with Constantine like this, let alone Iron Man who has completely lost his sense of morality and principles.

"He will have ten thousand ways to deal with you." Bruce said to Clark, "So, don't confront him before he shows the possible malice."

Clark took a deep breath, and said slowly, "...then it's best if he didn't do anything bad to Ruby."

Bruce stared at Clark for a few seconds, then he said deadpan, "Forget it, you don't want to go."

Clark gasped: "Why?"

Bruce said: "Because I think you have a high probability of bad things, you are still too emotional." He looked at the information on the computer screen and said: "Peter Parker is just in Los Angeles to participate in the competition, I will find a way to let him Go to San Francisco."

"Isn't Peter Parker a bad thing!?" Clark objected, he was a teenager, and at his age, he couldn't live as well as a high school student to understand?

"Well..." Bruce thought for a while and said, "After all, he and Stark are colleagues, and you two can only be regarded as colleagues."

Colleagues may still have a little affection, but colleagues are all enemies.

Clark: ...

Inexplicably, it makes sense...
