Friendly neighbors are villains

the other side--

The Avengers Building is located in the heart of Manhattan, New York. It was originally the building where Stark used to work (although he rarely appeared in person), and now it has become a place where the Avengers gather. However, after becoming Iron Man, he often haunts the conference table among the Avengers.

The huge screen projected images of the "Duke" robbing the bank, of course not the cameras from the vault, which had been destroyed by the "Duke" long ago.Such a clear image came from Stark's smart mask. When he chatted with the enemy, he analyzed every action of the opponent.

"So, you let him escape, Stark." Doctor Strange said as if making a conclusion, and he glanced at Peter sitting opposite him, "You two, let him escape, in a closed space, each other Not even taking extreme measures."

Peter moved his body back in the chair apologetically: "Theoretically speaking..."

Stark immediately retorted: "Theoretically speaking, doctor, didn't you find that he can juggle." Stark meant something.

"That's more like a superpower." Doctor Strange's natural voice is deep and low, and he talks slowly when talking about business, "Before you chat with the spider boy, you should think of a coping strategy instead of giving the enemy room to sanction, you talk too much gone."

"If you were there at the time, you might have performed worse than me." Stark said not to be outdone, "That guy increased the gravity around us, and we couldn't stand up at all. This is a brand new enemy, unlike our previous one. It’s different from what I’ve seen.”

Steve Rogers stared at the scrolling screen thoughtfully.

"What did you think of?" Natasha asked Steve.

"It's a little strange." Steve thought about it and then he could phrase it. "He obviously has great strength, but he didn't take the initiative to attack anyone from head to toe. Don't you find it strange?"

"Maybe he just wants to rob a bank." Clint Barton echoed from the side, "He only has one person, wait, what did he say his name is?"

"The Duke." Natasha said, "but his voice is synthesized, and his gender is open to question, but judging from the current data, a male is most likely." The female agent began the assessment she was good at.

"You played against him, Tony, what do you think." Steve said to Stark.

"Self-righteous." Stark said casually, "It looks like a certain Mr. Antlers from Asgard, hey, could he also come down from a place outside the universe, who can contact Sol, see Let's see if he has another brother who is not worried."

Steve didn't seem to think so: "He's been listening to you all the time, including Peter's appearance. When you were chatting, he didn't interrupt or attack."

"So you want to tell me that this black guy is my fan?" Stark wanted to laugh a little.

"He's observing you, and Peter." Natasha recorded something in her notebook. "He's observing everyone present. More likely, he's doing a test."

"What test?" Clint asked.

"Maybe he just gained power, or, his power comes from the black robe, and he is doing a test. Of course, I just have reasonable doubts. The only thing I'm sure of is that he shouldn't be a lunatic." Natasha quickly said A series of Russian words were written on the notebook, "We assume that he himself has superpowers. Judging from his reaction, the power is mainly released through his hands. Did you see the golden gun that suddenly appeared in his hand? It was with the golden gun behind him. Block made."

"'Duke' can manipulate metal." Peter said, "It can also turn metal into guns. Shouldn't this matter be handed over to other departments, such as the X-Men? They also have a guy who plays with metal."

Stark raised his eyebrows: "Shut up your dangerous thoughts, boy, I don't want to hear those supergroups who are always out of control satirize the Avengers for their ineffectiveness, let alone what if this "lord" It can be wooed." He glanced at the Duke on the big screen with interest, "I like his gloves."

Steve looks at him.

"Okay, captain, don't take my joke seriously." Stark took a sip of his cold coffee, showing a hint of disgust. "Say something else, I have performed facial recognition and thermal sensor collection on him, sorry Yes, there's a magnetic field under his clothes that I can't penetrate."

"What does that mean?" Doctor Strange asked.

"It means that the funny costume is his battle suit. He is definitely a bastard who likes to pretend. The bastard who calls himself 'Duke' these days is definitely not a young man." Stark found out from an unrelated message The common point, "And he is short of money, he will definitely use the money to do crazy things, such as..."

"Build an army." Peter snapped, "I've seen a movie, and that's what the villain did."

"That's right." Stark said in an approving tone, and then said in a serious tone, "We must find out his own information and action track as soon as possible, and whoever sent an email to S.H.I.E.L.D. Let them strengthen the security system."

The meeting ended without any further clues. Stark took Peter to his studio to familiarize him with the new joystick and teach him how to detect the new function of the spider suit.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark." Peter said, "I should have done better."

"You've done a good job." Stark uploaded all the "Duke" data to a confidential database, "He is an arrogant enemy, usually you need a little patience to deal with this kind of enemy."

Spider-Man looked at Stark, who thought he had experience with arrogant people.

Peter is one of the few Avengers members who can enter Stark's dedicated studio, although he is still in the internship stage and has not been officially recognized by everyone.

It's not a question of Peter's ability, but mainly in terms of age. The Avengers has a strict control system for minors. Peter must be 18 years old to be considered a real Avenger.

And Stark can't wait to raise this child.

"Could he be an alien?" Spider-Man asked, "Since the Avengers and the Justice League cooperated, there have been almost no radical superpowers. Most of them are locked in the prison of SHIELD."

Stark was noncommittal, just typing on the virtual keyboard, and symbols and lines of various colors appeared on the screen in front of him.

Spider-Man frowned, staring at the ups and downs of the lines.

"We will always find out where he came from. Now, I am sure that my memory has been deleted." Stark stopped typing, and he pointed to the screen and said to Peter, "My suit fired a pulse cannon once. , although I don't remember doing it after seeing that guy, but my suit stats can't be wrong."

Stark's steel armor has a pulse record, but he has no memory of attacking the "Duke" at that time. Stark's mind is only that he flew out of the elevator shaft, asked who the opponent was, and then the spider The hero appeared on the screen.

Obviously the truth is not that simple.

"You mean, the other party has brain control techniques, and he erased part of your memory?" Peter was horrified, "What kind of memory?"

"Just like I asked you what you forgot, Mr. Parker, if you know what you forgot, it means you haven't forgotten." Stark's tone brought out some harmless sarcasm, "This is very interesting, think about it , He deleted the memory of me using the pulse cannon, which means, that may be his weakness, otherwise why would he delete this.” [Amy has backtracked]

Compared with Stark's excitement, Peter seemed less optimistic.

"Don't worry, I will solve it. Brain control is not the only patent for him." Stark didn't intend to let Peter go deeper into the "Duke" incident, he immediately changed the subject, "By the way, I heard that you have a new At the same table, there is an Asian girl with long hair, how about it, do you want to have some sweet memories of your high school career?"

"Mr. Stark, you can't monitor my life." Peter said embarrassedly.

"I didn't monitor you." Stark took out his phone and pulled out May Parker's Twitter, "Your aunt wrote a comprehensive account of your recent friendships, I just happened to see it." He playfully Smiling, "You said she was a brave girl with curly brown hair."

"No, I didn't say that," Peter denied. "I mean, I didn't emphasize her hair color, but she was brave."

"You want to pursue her, I can help a little with this kind of thing." Stark was very interested in Peter's private life.

"I just treat Amy as an ordinary classmate." Peter's ears were slightly hot, and he tried to defend himself.

"Her name is Amy?" Stark became more interested. "It's an easy name to remember. First of all, you need to get Amy's phone number."

"We've only known each other for a day, Mr. Stark." Peter's face also burned up. He really wasn't in the mood for a relationship. The dual identities of Spider-Man and a junior in high school put enough pressure on him, and he had no reason to give himself any more. Find a new trouble.

"You have been classmates for a week. I am your age, and I have changed three girlfriends in 7 days." Stark said, "Spider boy, you should learn to enjoy being in love, you can't be a virgin in college .”

"Amy took a week of sick leave." Peter broke out in a cold sweat. "She was shot and injured on the first day, so I only knew her for one day."

"Injured? This is a great opportunity, boy, believe me." Stark said, he quickly found Amy Cole's information, including her home address, "she is a pretty girl , then what you have to do now is to go to her house to express your condolences."

"Mr. Stark, I said no." Peter twisted his shoulders unnaturally to ease the embarrassment.

"Why not?" Stark smiled maliciously, and his tone was cheerful, "Miss Cole lives next door to your house, it is normal to show concern for neighbors, and she is very talented in mathematics, you can find her, Uh... Ask about homework, oh, this girl is really nice, is she interested in MIT, maybe I can make a recommendation for you two, if you can catch up with her."

"Mr. Stark!" Peter's voice was a little out of tune.
