infinite hero

After solving the scratching problem, Sid's mood finally recovered a little today.This also means that he works more efficiently and leaves work earlier.

While it wasn't a problem for brothers to live in the same house before they had a family, it certainly didn't apply to Tony and Sid.

First, no matter how extravagant Tony is, it is impossible for Stark Industries to spend the money to build two mansions; second, because of Stark's surname, Tony and Sid are both diamond bachelors in the limelight; third, Tony is a playboy, but Sid is a serious person, at least their impression in the eyes of the public——

So these two people naturally don't live together.Tony likes his mansion facing the beach best, while Sid usually lives on the top floor of the Stark Industries headquarters building.

But today Sid kind of wants to go home.Not every residence can be called a home, and Tony is the only one left in his current family.He can even find a high-sounding reason for this-see if Tony throws Howard's belongings into the trash can.

The fact is of course not.When Sid stood outside the laboratory door again, what he saw was Tony's busy back, with an old notebook spread out beside him, and a familiar landscape model.

"Would you like to go in, sir?" asked the Electronic Butler. "I can send you a message."

In the normal closed state, the glass door of the laboratory has absolutely good sound insulation effect.In fact, its strength is designed with reference to the TNT equivalent; even if there is an explosion in the laboratory—as long as the building is not blown down—no sound can be heard outside.

So of course Tony didn't hear Jarvis' voice.He's busy calculating atomic weights, and it's a matter of life or death if he can swap out the damn palladium for a new, harmless alternative.

Sid put his hands in his trouser pockets and didn't answer right away, only shaking his head slightly after a long time. "No, maybe this distance is just right for us."

The electronic butler was silent.Human emotional perception is part of his design, but that doesn't mean he can fully figure out what's going on with Tony and Sid's weird state.

"Set an alarm, Jarvis." Sid raised his hand and looked at his watch. "Don't let Tony stay in there for too long." Pumping on the back of the buttocks, but it is common to be in the laboratory for days and nights without sleep.

"Okay, sir." Jarvis replied quickly, "Although you and I both understand how effective the alarm clock is."

This means that artificial intelligence can't control Tony at all.Sid pressed his temple with a headache, and added: "Notify me if it's overtime." The villain in Tony's eyes seems to be the only one who can be him!

That being said, Sid did have a lot of things going on recently, so much so that he forgot all of them when he got busy.For example, the most imminent thing, the Stark Industries exhibition will be held soon.This is a great opportunity to increase brand awareness and open up new markets, and he certainly values ​​it.

However, even if Justin Hammer is particularly unwilling to show off with Sid (because he usually doesn't get any reply he wants from Sid), Sid can also foresee that the other party will not give up to him, or say Give Tony any chance of getting in the way.

In this case, there is nothing wrong with planning ahead.

So Natasha was called to the president's office twice in a short period of three days, and she was quite angry, especially after she knew what Sid wanted her to do. "You want me to investigate Hammer?" she asked in an incredulous tone, "Is this the job scope of the legal department assistant?"

"Make the best use of everything." Sid didn't feel embarrassed at all.Agents or something, just come in handy at times like this, right?

"Give me a stronger reason." Natasha looked at his expression and said directly.

Sid spread both hands across the wide desk. "Since Fury sent you here, it means that he doesn't want to see any trouble. And Hammer," he shrugged, with an extremely slight arc at the corner of his mouth, "is the biggest possible trouble."

Natasha really wants to ask, are you sure the biggest trouble is not your brother?But she held back and said: "It's fine if I agree."

"Is there an exchange?" Sid said clearly, "Don't worry, I understand. And I don't want to see him mess up more than anyone else... because it will also hurt him a lot."

Natasha froze.She always thought that Tony and Sid were at odds, but in fact... "That guy really didn't know what luck it was." She snorted coldly, then turned and left the office.

Sid was left alone facing the empty French windows. "Are you lucky?" He whispered, his eyes far away, "Probably half and half."

When he thought of this, he sat down and opened the desk drawer.It was full of small encrypted file boxes, and he took out the bottom one.

After verifying the fingerprint and iris, the flat silver-white metal box opened automatically.There is only one document in it, the title is the DNA test report, and the date of signing is ten years ago.

Sid's fingers brushed over the conclusion.He'd done this so many times that the ink was blurred to the point where he couldn't see it clearly.But he didn't need to read it at all, because he had already memorized it backwards: "The DNA analysis results do not match, and there is no blood relationship."

As for Tony, after a day and two of sleepless nights, he had already built a small particle accelerator in the laboratory.Because the radius is not large enough, if you want to reach the theoretically required collision speed and then create new elements, the acceleration time ahead will obviously not be short.

In this free time, Tony finally thought of something else. "Sid hasn't been here lately?" he asked Jarvis aloud, his eyes still fixed on the observation window cut out on the accelerator.

"He has been here once." The electronic housekeeper answered this question immediately while analyzing the experimental data flow.

Tony was slightly surprised.Sid actually came and left silently, which is not in line with Sid's usual character. "Is he busy recently?"

"The Stark Industries Expo will be held in eighteen hours, and the location is still determined by you." Jarvis reminded, "In addition..."

"Yes, that's right!" Tony suddenly realized. "If we hurry up, we can still catch up..." He thought for a while about the sensational effect his new reactor heart would bring, and only thought of the half of what he interrupted when he recovered. "What else?"

"I don't know whether to say it, sir."

If Tony had just asked casually before, now his curiosity has been aroused.Sid and him are simply two extremes - I can see this since I was a child; I was even joked that he is Howard's son, because the combination of personality is Howard - can there be any surprises?

"Don't try to trick me, Jarvis!" he muttered.

"Because it's really a small thing, it's just that it's never happened before." Jarvis gave the incident what he thought was an accurate definition, "Mr. Very impressed with a new employee.”

Tony wanted to question when his AI got so gossipy, but he had to admit that he cared a lot about this little thing that never happened. "Storm?" He repeated the surname suspiciously, making sure he didn't have much of an impression. "Also, do you still want to tell me that the newcomer is a woman?"

"They're all beautiful," Jarvis added immediately.

This default and addition made Tony even more annoyed. "Do you have to say something like this at this point? About Sid maybe finally beginning to appreciate the virtues of women?"

"Sorry, sir."

Jarvis apologized neatly, but Tony found sadly that once his attention was drawn away it was very difficult to get it back.It's one thing for him to go out and fuck himself - because he doesn't really want a girlfriend, but for some ulterior motive - but if Sid has one, then there's something wrong with his little mind. What's the point?

Tony covered his face in frustration, he thought he was done.

He thought that he could hide it well all the time, he thought that he could cut off his thoughts by alienating the relationship... But these assumptions are completely vulnerable to reality!
