infinite hero

My parents researched spider venom, participated in the Stark Industries Expo where Spider-Man appeared, and now they appear in Osborn, where my parents' former research partner is...

Add those three together and Peter Parker is kind of an interesting guy, isn't he?

But it can only stop at the interesting step.More evidence is needed to determine if Peter is Spider-Man.

So on the way back—after sending her girlfriend home, of course—Sid was thinking about it.

If you want to know who Spider-Man is, screening possible candidates from tens of thousands of people is the most difficult job.Once the scope is determined, the rest is easy.You only need to observe that person's usual hobbies, and then check the person's alibi when Spider-Man appeared, and you will know right away.

So, just find a reliable private investigator...

After determining the final method, Sid just stepped out of the elevator that arrived at the top floor of the Stark Industries headquarters.The top floor is an open design, so when the elevator door opened, he saw Tony sitting on the sofa in the living room, with four words written all over his face: "I'm very angry!"

Uh……

Sid, who didn't expect Tony to come, looked down at his attire reflexively.His gadget has passed the efficacy of the medicine, so the effect now seems to be...pretending to be tender?Or go out chic?

But no matter whether the packet is captured or not, there is always something to say.

"Tony?" Sid opened his mouth, turned and walked to the bar on the right, "Jarvis didn't tell me you were coming." Normally, if the two brothers had a cold war, the hard-working artificial intelligence had to take on the heavy responsibility of the walkie-talkie .

"Actually, I just found out, sir." Jarvis immediately pushed the responsibility away.

Sid paused while pouring wine, and looked up at the person on the sofa. "Wait, Tony, I'm assuming you're not sitting here listening to me and Jarvis?"

Before Tony could answer, Jarvis preempted him: "I hope not, sir. In fact, before your brother came..."

"Shut up, Jarvis!" If you don't speak, you will be sold out by the artificial intelligence, Tony has to interrupt, with a rather annoyed expression. "Just do what you have to do."

"Yes, sir." The artificial intelligence replied quickly, but its tone was unwavering, and it was forced to make up a sarcasm.

Tony despaired of arguing with the Cockney electronic butler.What is he competing with the program he designed? "Sid," he said reluctantly, with a stiff tone, "do you remember what you owe me?"

By the time Tony stopped Jarvis from saying something, Sid had walked over and sat down with two glasses of blond rum.He pushed a glass onto the table in front of Tony, and he held one in his hand to sip. "Too many, what do you want to talk about?"

The attitude made Tony choke.He would have said the explanation he owed for days—about why Sid hadn't escaped after his warning—don't tell him it was too late because he knew Sid and knew it was impossible—

But Sid talking too much?What does too much mean, does Sid know something that he shouldn't know?

This idea just flashed through Tony's mind, because it was quickly rejected by him.Although he basically doesn't care what Sid does, including those small potions, he still pays attention to the most critical part - he must never let Sid find out that he is not a Stark.

So Sid shouldn't know, and won't know!

"Tony?" Seeing Tony lost in thought, Sid couldn't help but reminded him aloud. "elder brother?"

The latter title made Tony firm in his mind. "Thank you for remembering," he said slightly sarcastically, although a part of his heart had already been softened by that brother call, "I thought you had forgotten this long ago."

This is undoubtedly implying that he is disobedient... Sid sighed.While it's generally Tony taking the risk, Tony doesn't criticize his position; but Tony is nominally his brother, and is right in the matter—

"Okay, I was wrong." Sid spread his hands slightly, still holding the wine glass in one hand. "I promise you won't let you see me in a mess next time."

Tony was instantly pissed off.Originally, he felt okay after listening to the first sentence; but what did Sid add after that?Want to piss him off? "What do you mean 'won't let me see it next time'?" he asked, "that is, there will be a next time?"

"I'm not sure," Sid replied.He lowered his eyelashes slightly, staring at the clear liquid in the glass. "Maybe I'll be kidnapped by anarchists when I go to do business, maybe someone will run on the track and try to electrocute me while I'm driving an antique Formula 1 car, maybe next time there will be mechanical soldiers or something like mechanical soldiers Load up the bombs..."

"Stop!" Tony growled angrily. "You mentioned these things again...Didn't I say it? I can solve them!"

"If you're willing to open your eyes, you'll find that I can solve those problems too," Sid said immediately.

The words were so choking that Tony stared at Sid and it took him a while to catch his breath. "Now it's finally your turn to mock me for being too much, isn't it?"

He was almost speechless with anger.Does this kid know how worried he is?He, Tony Stark, dare to swear to God, when he tried to pull Sid who was buried from the rubble, he was in the same mood as when he just knew Howard had passed away!Possibly even more...

Then Sid repays him with such an indifferent attitude?

Sid didn't need to look at Tony's face to know that his brother was on the verge of going berserk.

"I do not have."

He put down his glass and brought his eyes to the other's. "If you didn't care about my life or death, you wouldn't be angry at all, would you?"

Tony just wanted to say that this is bullshit.Who can make him break down and want to cry at that time?But of course, he would never say such a shameful thing, never!

Sid observed his reaction and showed a shallow smile. "So I'm not taunting you. In fact, I'm glad to know that—knowing that you do care about me."

Although he knew it was inappropriate, Tony did feel his heart skip a beat.Sid looks very charming when he is serious, especially when his words can also set off the atmosphere.

But he couldn't let the other party notice this at this time.So Tony snorted softly and looked away.

But Sid will never let go of this good opportunity delivered to his door.He put down his glass, got up and changed seats, sitting next to Tony. "I just want you to know that this kind of concern is not one-way. How you felt on that day, I have experienced it exponentially before."

If he looks away again, he will appear guilty, Tony can only answer with a hard voice: "Are you accusing me?" But a certain corner of his heart is cheering loudly——

The care between them is not one-way!Sid said it himself!

"Of course not, Tony." Sid softened his voice. "Adventure runs in Stark's blood, it's almost instinctive. I can't stop you from doing what you want, and I'm not qualified to do that; I just want you to know that I've been able to Take responsibility for what you do.”

This made Tony's heart, which was originally floating in the sky, fall to the bottom of the valley, because this was what he was most worried about——

He never doubted that Sid could take responsibility for what he did, because Sid even helped him to share the responsibility that should have been his.His vicious words that dislike Sid too many things are just his own intentional words to cover up the facts, and they are not even comparable to unintentional mistakes!

Sid has grown up and will leave him one day... Tony thought bitterly, feeling more aware of this now than ever.

To him, it was undoubtedly cruel—meaning someone else took his place in Sid's heart, gradually replacing him with the passage of time—but to them, it was almost a certainty.Even if he didn't want to, they couldn't live forever; although it was always noisy, it was just the two of them.

Tony also realizes that even keeping his promise to Howard - keeping Sid's parentage a secret - won't stop the parting.When Sid was a child, he worried that the other party would want to find his biological parents and leave him after knowing the truth; but in fact, as long as Sid wanted to, there were various reasons at any time.For example, start your own business, or marry the girl you like...

And there's nothing he can do about it!Because he is Sid's elder brother, he can't tell the real reason!Even a stranger is better than his embarrassing identity!

"...That's it? I see." Tony heard his own voice reply.Then he saw his legs stand up and walk towards the elevator door automatically and spontaneously.

Sid keenly sensed that something was wrong.Tony's reaction was so calm it hardly looked like Tony. "Tony? Tony?" He stood up, took a few quick steps, and grabbed the other's upper left arm.

"Anything else?" Tony asked.He didn't want to turn back at first, but if he didn't turn back, it would look like he was going away in anger, so he turned halfway back.But as soon as he came into contact with Sid's eyes, his heart skipped a beat——

That's not the way my younger brother looks at his elder brother at all!

It wasn't just Tony who found it difficult to contain himself, but Sid as well.He knew he must look different now than usual—the difference between showing claws and being overly camouflaged—but he couldn't help—

He knew Tony well enough to know that when he put on a fake face like a mask, things were at their worst.Now Tony has that expression on his face. He can't see through that mask to see the other person's heart, and he still doesn't know why the other party shows that expression...

It made him feel restless.He said something, but Tony must have thought of something else, otherwise this shouldn't be the result!

"Just talk about it." Tony felt that those who accused him of being a playboy should really show his current performance-if there is a Guinness world champion in self-control, it must be him-"I'm listening."

"There is one thing." Sid took a deep breath, feeling lucky he didn't make the bet with Jarvis, because he couldn't wait for Tony to ask and he was about to say it himself. "Remember when you asked me to switch your arc reactor?"

Tony hesitated, then nodded.Of course he remembered the touch on his lips at that time, but judging by Sid's reaction, was it true and the other party was going to tell him soon?

He suddenly became flustered, and he didn't know whether he was more nervous or looking forward to it.No no, it's better not to say it, because he has to refuse, he can only refuse...

But Sid had already spoken. "The moment before you woke up, I kissed you."

Tony closed his eyes slightly.He felt that he was running towards two extremes - one was screaming in ecstasy, encouraging him to kiss back, the more passionate the better; while the other was coldly reminding that you are finished.

"Fine," Tony said calmly, "you can now practice what you just said, and take responsibility for what you do." He said this and entered the elevator without looking back.
