Princess Disease

It has been a week since Isabella left the Osborne Group halfway after learning that Tony was kidnapped, and returned to school now. Although it is not long, she stood at the gate of Midtown High School again, Isabella always feels like a world away.

"Bella!" An excited shout came from behind, Isabella turned her head and saw Peter riding a bicycle and stopped in front of her: "You are finally back!"

"Well," Isabella blinked: "Didn't you send me a text message saying that you can't recharge when the holiday expires?"

"Go," Peter patted the back seat of the bicycle: "I'll take you for a ride."

Isabella smiled slightly, rolled up her skirt and got on Peter's broken bicycle: "Okay." The first class was Peter's favorite biology class, but in order to communicate with Isabella what happened these days, For the first time, he didn't listen to the class seriously, but kept hiding behind the book and writing small notes to Isabella.

Isabella was resting her chin on her chin and listening to the biology teacher's eloquent description of Mendel's law of heredity, when suddenly a white light flashed in front of her eyes, and she took a closer look, and it turned out to be a small piece of paper falling on the open bed. on the pages of the book.

This is a note passed down by a god-man, and it was thrown quite accurately.

Isabella picked up the small note, spread it out carefully, and recognized Peter's delicate handwriting.

Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days. Peter is good at passing notes, unlike before when he threw them seven or eight meters away from the target and had to ask other students to help deliver them.

I saw the note said: Are you all right?Are you rested?How is Mr. Stark?I called you the night before and you didn't answer me.

the night before yesterday?Isabella thought about it, and remembered that the night before yesterday she was in a secret underground base with people from S.H.I.E.L.D. watching Magneto abuse the alien robots that invaded the earth.

Biting off the cap of her pen, Isabella brushed and wrote: It’s all right. Speaking of which, the two days I’ve been back here are really exciting, more thrilling than in Afghanistan hahaha.

After finishing writing, Isabella rolled up the ball of paper and threw it back to Peter who was sitting not far behind her. Not long after, she saw a white light fly by, and the ball of paper landed firmly on her. On the open biological book, the position was almost the same as last time.

Now Isabella realized that something was wrong. It must have been a coincidence to throw it once, but it was accurate the second time, and the landing point was the same as last time, so it could not be a coincidence, but inevitable.

It seems that these days not only have I had an adventure, but Peter has also encountered something.Isabella remembered that Peter repeatedly mentioned that he wanted to tell her a secret, which might be related to this secret.

Peter replied: No way, you can make something happen after these two days?What happened?I was watching the news yesterday, and it was said on TV that an abandoned factory outside New York City collapsed into ruins overnight. The reporters went to interview and found that the surrounding area was surrounded by the government. Now the media all speculate that it is a secret government experiment facility , What may have gone wrong, and the request to announce the real situation, it will not have anything to do with you, right?

Isabella: ...

Young man, you can guess right!

Isabella hesitated for a long time with the pen in her mouth, and finally couldn't help but write: Yes, the specific situation is very complicated, I will tell you secretly during the meal... But please don't tell it, maybe someone will come to find you you talk.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is everywhere!

Isabella threw the ball of paper back, and after a while Peter sent back a short sentence on the paper ball, followed by five exclamation marks to express her shock and bewilderment: My God! ! ! ! !

In the following time, Peter did not pass notes to Isabella. Isabella obediently listened to the teacher's knowledge, and borrowed the notes from the previous lessons from the pretty girl at the back table. Make up for the courses you missed.

As soon as the get out of class bell rang, Peter quickly packed up his things and ran over to wait for Isabella to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

"Why didn't Harry come today?" Isabella asked casually while tidying up the desk, "It seems like I haven't seen him for a long time."

Speaking of which, the last time Isabella heard Harry's voice was in the desert of Afghanistan. At that time, she was being hunted down by Ajax. Harry and Peter's phone call came in so untimely, and it was a long-distance cross-country call.

"Oh, that's right," Isabella couldn't help laughing, "I charged you directly."

Peter was taken aback for a moment, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "I said why the mobile phone cost a lot more...Thank you."

"It's okay." Isabella put her schoolbag on her shoulders: "It's because of me that I'm in arrears."

The two chatted and walked towards the cafeteria. On the way, Peter told Isabella that because Norman Osborn's illness was getting worse, he was now in the intensive care unit and might die at any time, so Harry He simply took a period of time off and stayed in the hospital to watch his father.

After hearing this, Isabella sighed: "It's really not easy for him. The solution to genetic diseases has not been found yet, and the Osborne Group..."

Since Norman Osborn fell ill, the power of the Osborne Group has gradually fallen into the hands of other shareholders. These 50-year-old and [-]-year-old people in power are not convinced even Norman Osborn, of course they also see If Harry, an underage child, is not included, it is certain that he will be ostracized secretly. If Norman Osborn can't get through this test, Harry, who has no father and no mother, will be surrounded by tigers and wolves.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Seeing Isabella's worried expression, Peter comforted her: "Hasn't the Osborne Group been researching biological agents for a long time? They have already achieved considerable results. It may be possible to break through immediately.”

"I hope." Although Isabella's luck value has always been ridiculously high, but before being forcibly bound by ether particles, she never pinned her hopes on the illusory future and possibilities: "Harry will be fine. "

As Isabella spoke, she subconsciously touched the ruby ​​necklace hidden in the neckline through her clothes.

The ether particles flickered slightly.

Isabella and Peter came to the restaurant, and Lucy took a seat by the window and waved to them: "Bella, Peter, here!"

"I'm going to buy food." Peter handed the schoolbag to Isabella: "What do you want to eat?"

"Come here, just like you." Isabella pointed to Lucy: "Go and sit there."

Peter's eyes flickered, and he seemed a little reluctant, but he still nodded: "Okay."

Isabella didn't notice Peter's abnormality. She walked through the crowd with two schoolbags on her left and right and came to sit down next to Lucy.

"You're back!" Lucy held Isabella's hand excitedly: "I haven't come to school for so many days, and I haven't received a letter. I didn't reply to your emails. I was really scared to death! Later It was Peter who told me that you went to Mr. Stark...you are so bold!"

"I didn't think about it that much at the time," Isabella smiled, "I was stupefied when I heard that my father was kidnapped."

Lucy gave Isabella a thumbs up: "One word, strong! You are my idol!"

Lucy didn't know that Isabella was actually smuggled out, otherwise she might have knelt down on the spot.

"Hey, look!" Lucy raised her hand and pointed to the TV hanging on the wall: "Mr. Stark!"

Isabella looked in the direction Lucy pointed, and found that the Stark Group press conference was being broadcast live on TV.

After all, Stark is the idol of the people, and many students in the cafeteria have already attracted their attention.The incident of Tony's kidnapping was not concealed at the time, and it aroused a strong response like an explosion among the public. It has been fermenting, and the heat has not subsided for many days. A climax, the public demanded that the official media and the government come forward to announce the truth about Tony's kidnapping, and what happened in the end.

Tony on TV wore a well-tailored black suit and a dark brown spotted tie. He threw the short-haired Yujie manager of the Stark Industries Sales Department who hosted the conference on the podium alone. , and he was sitting on the ground leaning against the podium with no image, holding a hamburger in his hand and trying hard to chew.

"...Didn't you have dinner in the morning?" Isabella covered her face helplessly: "Captain America made it himself!"

"What?" Lucy's eyes widened: "Bella, can you say it again?"

Isabella covered her mouth silently: "It's nothing."

When Isabella and Lucy were talking, Tony had already talked a lot, and when the two of them recovered, they heard Tony say: "...so I decided to temporarily close Stark Industries Arms Division, shifting corporate focus to clean energy, effective immediately."

After Tony finished speaking, he threw the microphone into Manager Yu's arms, crumpled up the hamburger paper and held it in his palm very chicly, flirtatiously blew kisses at countless long|gun|short|cannons, turned and left.

Isabella: ...

Lucy: ...

A second later, the fryer was on the spot.

Not only was the scene of the press conference in chaos, but after a few seconds of silence in the restaurant, there was an explosion of heated discussions, and many people recognized Isabella and pointed at her. the direction she is in.

"God!" Lucy gasped, "Bella...Mr. Stark is joking, right?"

Although it has also been involved in other fields, the most important trump card business of the Stark Group has always been the development and production of new arms. In this field, Stark is a well-deserved leader. 80.00% of the weapons of the US military are made Provided by Stark Industries.Now that Tony Stark suddenly made such a move at the press conference, it was equivalent to directly cutting off two-thirds of the business of the Stark Group, which really shocked everyone.

"I...I don't know," Isabella whispered, "Dad didn't tell me in advance."

Not only did Isabella not know, she felt that Howard probably didn't know either.

Tony is a person who always does things as he pleases, but no one can persuade him to do things he decides, and he can't change them at all.

"But I support Dad." After a while, the shock in Isabella's eyes receded, and she looked at Lucy with firm eyes: "I guess what he thinks in his heart... I agree with this decision."

Lucy looked at Isabella with "Are you crazy too?"

Isabella smiled lightly, not intending to explain to Lucy.

This matter can not be said outside.

Isabella guessed that Tony ordered the closure of the weapons department because when he was kidnapped in Afghanistan, the advanced weapons used by the local armed forces who attacked the convoy escorting him were all developed by the weapons department of Stark Industries.

Those weapons were originally provided by Tony to the U.S. military to protect the American people from being violated and to give other countries a strong threat and deterrence. Even Tony himself once said boldly that the technology of Stark Industries is at least leading For 20 years in the world, with him, there is peace.

But he never expected that the slap in the face would come so quickly. The weapons that Stark Industries sold to the country were cut off, and they were used on their own people instead.

Tony never mentioned this to Isabella, but according to the information obtained by Isabella and Jarvis, the military convoy escorting Tony at that time had five off-road vehicles, a total of twenty heavily armed Soldiers, but Tony was the only one rescued in the end.

Everyone else died in the surprise attack.

Twenty fresh lives, one second they were so excited because they saw their idol that they couldn't speak, and the next second they disappeared in blood and explosions. Tony watched all this happen but couldn't stop it. Ironically, the man who killed the soldiers was holding the same weapon that Tony had promised to keep them safe.

Tony Stark has a lot of flaws, he's playful, selfish, irresponsible, messing around, and sometimes absurd, but he's not a total jerk.

Certain things are the bottom line, everything can be said before stepping on it, but once someone tries to cross the line...never forgive.

Even if it is myself.

Peter, who had gone to buy lunch, finally came back, and he interrupted the silent atmosphere between Isabella and Lucy with two steaming plates of pasta.

"Eat quickly," Peter said as if he hadn't seen the news on TV. He didn't ask Isabella a word, but put the plate in front of her nonchalantly: "If you don't eat it, it will be cold."

"Thank you." Isabella smiled slightly and raised her fork: "I—"

"Oh... no." Isabella's smiling face instantly became serious, and she straightened her back involuntarily, staring fixedly at the TV on the wall.

"——Now we will break out a piece of news. Norman Osborne, the chairman of the Osborne Group, died of illness in the New York University Medical Center 10 minutes ago..."

Peter, look at your poisonous grandma's mouth, it's really effective.
