During lunch time, the group of four sat in the corner as usual. Since they started dating, the seats in the cafeteria have been adjusted invisibly to Jane and Peter sitting on one side. They used to sit opposite each other.

"This." Jenny took out two bags of cranberry biscuits and handed them to Michelle and Ned. "I bake quite a lot every time."

"I'm open to anyone, but doesn't he?" Michelle accepted the biscuit generously, pointing to Peter with her chin.

Peter looked at the rectangular biscuits in the transparent packaging bag, and couldn't help smiling: "I have." He turned his face and smiled at Jenny, keeping his mouth shut except for a few words as if he was protecting a secret.

"It's mysterious." Ned and Michelle thought it was fine to accept the biscuits, but they couldn't understand Peter and Jenny's secret code exchange.

A news broadcast on the TV in the cafeteria interrupted the conversation of several people-"...in Niarax, the Avengers and a group of mercenaries... 11 of the civilians who died innocently were Wakanda... King T'Chaka of Wakanda demands that the Avengers be held accountable..."

This news attracted the attention and discussion of many students, and the bright title "Suing the Avengers for Global Anti-Violence" was even more shocking, and there were a lot of discussions.

"This is really a big deal." Michelle read the news seriously, and then turned her gaze to Jane on the opposite side. The matter of the Avengers is directly linked to her relatives. This news should have a greater impact on her than others ...Jenny's seat was facing the TV, and she was staring at the TV screen motionless at the moment, frowning.

"Well, after all, it involves other countries..." Because of the "internship project", although he has no direct relationship with the Avengers, he has always had some connection with Mr. Stark. When Peter saw the news, he felt Can't help but empathize with some anxiety.

For Jane, this news was indeed shocking enough.The death toll was 11, and this one alone made her lose her mind. People who have never experienced the pain of losing a loved one can't understand that feeling at all...

Jane doesn't know how much impact this incident will have on the Avengers. To be honest, it's not her turn to care about it. In any case, Mr. Stark will be involved, and Jane is a little flustered. She has not been in contact with Mr. Stark for a long time, but for Jane, who rarely accepts other people's concern, Mr. Stark is good enough for her Let her regard him as an important relative, vaguely aware of what kind of situation he is going to face, so Jane can't help but put herself into his situation, if it is herself... Obviously this kind of substitution is not reasonable, Stark Mr.'s ability is not at the same level as hers.Confused by the authorities, Jenny couldn't figure it out clearly. Even though she knew that her fidgeting would not help Mr. Stark, she still couldn't get out of this emotion.

She hurriedly took out her mobile phone to search for more detailed news, and she could always find some useful information in the overwhelming news reports... Iron Man did not personally participate in the action of Niarax, but it was not enough... The calm lake was smashed The next blockbuster, countless sharp words continued to emerge, and those harsh and aggressive words made her worry intensify.

"Are you okay?" Peter didn't expect the news to have such a big impact on Jane.

"Well, I'm fine." Her pale face was really not very good, and her head was a mess like a mess that couldn't make sense of the point, "Eleven people, dead..."

Peter still wanted to say something to comfort her, but Jane was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone, she didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, she nodded repeatedly: "...I understand, I'll be right there."

"What happened?" Peter looked anxiously at her.

"Can you ask me for the afternoon leave? I have something to leave first!" She made a decisive decision and walked away without even taking her bag.

"Wait." Michelle grabbed her bag and trotted to catch up with her, and at the same time she stuffed the bag to her, Michelle asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?"

"Avengers Tower, I guess." Jenny couldn't explain the reason for the excitement in her heart, "Mr. Hogan said that Mr. Stark might need me."

Michelle watched her run away, then turned around and explained to the bewildered Peter: "It seems that something happened to the family."

Suspicion suddenly arose in Peter's heart, but he didn't point out anything and silently nodded his head to express his understanding.

……

Earlier today, a speech at MIT.

With the disappearance of those virtual images, Tony slowly stepped out from behind the scenes, and began to explain in an orderly manner: "...referred to as the second structure... a very expensive method, which forces the hippocampus to clear traumatic memories, and will not change what happened to my parents. The fact of the accident doesn't change what I've done to get over my grief, and the $6 million I've spent on this little experiment... No one in their right mind would ever fund a project like this ..."

The atmosphere in the audience was gradually adjusted under his control. His demeanor and generosity were impeccable. The September fund project was officially launched under the announcement of Tony Stark, a man who approved and funded all the research projects of the juniors. Accepting everyone's cheers frankly, he continued the follow-up explanation, only seeing a name on the inscription machine stuck for a while, and finally ended the speech in a hurry.

The staff kept apologizing for the accident of the inscription machine. Tony directed Happy to drive the car out while dismissing the people who kept coming up to talk to him. It was trivial for him to deal with this kind of situation, but the recent things are really a bit It was beyond his tolerance, and seeing Pep's name on the inscription machine seemed to be the last straw for him. He had to excuse himself to go to the bathroom to avoid everyone's adjustment. He had to be impeccable all the time, especially It is the current state of affairs, no one has asked him to do so, but this is Tony Stark's default choice.

Coming out of the bathroom, Tony went straight to wait in front of the elevator, and a black lady took the initiative to talk to him: "You did something good for those young people."

"Should be, besides, it will make my conscience feel better." Tony replied casually while thinking about what happened to Niaraks not long ago. How to talk to others easily is a subconscious passive skill for him.

"It is said that acts of generosity are often associated with guilt."

One sentence made him raise his guard, and the original relaxation disappeared. The lady turned to face her: "But as long as you have money, it doesn't matter if you make a little mistake."

Tony had to admit that his ability to read faces was not strong, was there more mockery in her eyes, or was there hatred mixed with grief?His heart sank when he was stared at by such eyes, he had to change the subject in embarrassment and pressed the elevator instruction button: "Are you going up?"

……

Tony was standing in the shadow of the porch with his hands in his pockets when Happy pulled the car over.

He wasted a bit of time when he backed out of the garage, and when he was about to explain to the boss, Tony had already come out from the shadows, opened the door coherently and got into the car.Happy swallowed the words of explanation, was he dazzled?The shadow under the porch seemed to be a monster with teeth and claws, making Tony's footsteps a little flustered.

From that moment, Happy saw that his state was a little off. He wondered if it was because of Miss Pep. He just wanted to say, "Pe..."

"Shh." Tony interrupted him, "I'm thinking." He was in a trance after saying this, and Happy was sure he must have encountered something.

"What are you thinking about?" Happy asked in a daze. He always felt that it would be good for Tony to say a few more words at this time.

The man in the back seat pushed his sunglasses, and his caramel-colored pupils were covered by the sunglasses, blocking his thoughtful eyes: "Things."

There was a silence.The interior of the car seems to be divided into two spaces, the one that belongs to Happy is ordinary, while the half that belongs to Tony is oppressive and heavy, even as dull as Happy can see that his condition is very bad.

Happy hesitated again and again and said: "Mr. Stark, you..."

Tony waved his hand: "I'm fine." Is he fine?Treating a grieving woman who lost her beloved son as an assassin?Those distant memories seem to float to the surface of the water irresistibly, and the light is clearly showing the meaning of existence.Charlie Spinson still had a picture of the boy in his pocket, and he remembered the boy's face so clearly...

"Do you think you're fighting for us?"

"You don't care at all, do you?"

"Who can avenge my son? Mr. Stark."

……

Questions he couldn't and couldn't answer came one after another, and the woman's expression gradually distorted into a ferocious look that didn't match his memory. Stark couldn't tell if it was his own brain that was causing trouble, and more and more voices were coming. He heard the sound of explosions on the battlefield, the screams of people, and finally an empty space with nothing...

"You killed him!"

"You killed him!"

……

The woman's voice became more and more piercing, piercing his eardrums and making him unable to breathe.

He yelled in his heart that it was not good. These symptoms accompanied him for a long time after the New York War, and it was finally relieved. He couldn't tell anyone, and even lost Pep because of it... Tony felt that his sanity was still there, at least some Part of him was still trying to tear himself out of these bad emotions.

"...Mr. Stark!" Happy, startled by his face, called out to him.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

Happy doesn't dare to say how much he knows Tony, but at least he has been Tony's subordinate for so many years, from driver to bodyguard to security supervisor, he can be regarded as an old employee by Tony's side... This state is definitely a good fit Not above.Rolling eyes at the award presenters at the awards ceremony, blowing his beard and staring in disdain during interviews... Tony has done all sorts of trivial things, but Happy has never seen such a sad side of him, in a trance, bewildered, as if He's just a normal guy...

Judging from the specific relationship, Happy didn't dare to classify himself into the boss's private domain without authorization. Even if the relationship between them is not a friend, but Happy always knows that he and Tony still have a little friendship, at least for Harry For Pi, he is willing to give his friend's care.

But Tony...Happy got his nonchalant response, so he had no choice but to stop this topic, concentrate on driving, and occasionally look in the rearview mirror when he was distracted, but he could only see Tony's eyes focused on the window in a trance, about the boss and Pei. Happy also vaguely knew about the inside story of Miss Pu's breakup. After the New York War, something was wrong with him. Changing the subject or whitewashing the peace is his usual method. I am afraid that no one except Tony himself can really know what he is thinking. .
