"...Jarvis, Jia. Uh-huh, it seems that I still have a good taste in naming." Tony said to himself, with his arms resting on the table, showing a thoughtful expression, "You should already understand Where we are now... any advice?"

"Insufficient intelligence to complete the analysis. A good recommendation is often based on sufficient data, sir."

"Don't think about it too much, we don't have time to get enough data right now." Tony said, "Now I'm going to ask the question, and you're going to think about the answer-I know I lost my memory, fought with people, fell into a The black hole came to the earth in another universe... I know my amnesia-my blockade of memories is to protect something, I don't think it's safe to keep them in my head, but it seems to be subconscious I don’t know if I also deleted the data associated with you...Did I delete it?”

"No, sir." Jarvis's voice was steady and tolerant, "After you carried a nuclear bomb into the Chitauri starry sky, I lost contact with the ground and fell into a dormant state due to insufficient battery. .When I woke up in the steel suit for the first time, you were already in a coma. I obtained some energy from the Ark's reactor and urgently analyzed the current situation."

"...sounds like a lot of stories," Tony said. "So I'm alone with a nuke and fight aliens? You know, that sounds cool. Am I a hero?"

"Without a doubt, sir."

"Jarvis, when you were asleep, a villain told me that I was playing a hero according to my ideal model. I hate this description." Tony pressed his fingers slightly, and turned the chair around, "Such a cool person is Tony Stark. When I make this kind of decision, I must not have time to think about whether I should think as a hero or as Tony Stark. Yes, I am a hero, but I made up my mind to do it myself. Remember that—but it seems like you haven't missed it. It's always me."

"Sir, I think your perception of artificial intelligence is also biased."

"Yeah, yeah, everything can go wrong." Tony murmured and lowered his head, then raised it again, "I—I don't know what I'm thinking, my subconscious mind. I—I seem to have anxiety Syndrome, Jarvis. No, don't talk to me, just leave me alone..."

He held the cup with trembling hands, and the bright brown liquid surface of the coffee shook violently.He stubbornly stared at a small black spot on the table, as if he wanted to see it into his eyes, and the corners of his eyes began to turn red... After about ten seconds, Jarvis said: "Sir, I think you should Get a psychological evaluation as soon as possible, as well as a medical examination. You have been through a very dangerous war..."

"Yeah, yeah," Tony repeated, his voice trembling. "Would you just stop talking, Ja—I've said enough!"

He yelled and swept the cup off the table, and there was a crisp cracking sound of porcelain.Tony buried his face in his hands, and after about half a minute, he said in a calm tone, "Let's continue...Sorry. Jarvis, tell me about that war?"

"I'm referring to the war between you and that foreign force, sir." Jarvis said, "When I restarted, that force has already invaded your body, and it seems that because of this, The Ark reactor only delivered part of the electricity to the steel suit, allowing me to observe most of the process. The environment in which the steel suit is located does not match the characteristics of any existing noun. It is like a boundless darkness, with dust floating around. .Some red light points continuously passed through the steel suit and entered your body. The process I recorded lasted for 40 seconds. From before I restarted to the 130th hour after I recorded, you Your body is changing because of this light spot."

Tony couldn't help pressing his hands on his chest: "...does that include those shrapnel too?"

"In fact, sir, they seem to be attracted by those shrapnel." Jarvis replied. Solidified into individual crystals. They also damaged the reactor, which produced energy far faster than you asked it to. After some of the electrical energy entered the steel jacket, almost all of the remaining electrical energy was poured back into your body. They are stored in every cell of your body, and those red light spots rewrite your genes from the source, allowing your body to complete the proper transformation."

"But also the effect on my brain?"

"I... think they are closely related to your thoughts, sir." Jarvis said, "You lacked the ability to survive in an oxygen-free environment at that time, and these light spots met your needs and restored the steel suit. work, prepared enough oxygen from the already depleted materials. They could have gathered and solidified more completely after digesting the shrapnel, but they kept the shape and even the characteristics of the shrapnel, and the rest released by the Ark reactor Joules of energy push out of the heart. It's capable of altering reality, sir."

"...can make my dreams come true." Tony murmured, unable to hide his shock, "then they will be so close... those nightmares..."

"One more thing, sir, I think it is your inner desire to survive that prompted it to open a wormhole, so that we can land in this parallel universe. And the moment the steel coat fell, the power went from 20.00% in an instant It fell to zero, and I fell into hibernation again."

Tony was silent for a while: "...Jarvis, have you checked the condition of the steel suit after you woke up again? Has there been any material change?"

"No, sir." Jarvis said, "If you're asking about the fact that you fell from a height of several hundred feet without any damage, I think the root cause of the problem is those red crystals in your body."

"Tomorrow I will have an operation to take them out." Tony said decisively.

"I suggest you choose an experienced surgeon, sir."

"Hmm. As long as I think about it, even a homeless man can have a successful operation." Tony joked a little and shrugged, "Actually, there is no other choice, and I promised Moriah Tee... you must have figured out who he is, Jarvis?"

Jarvis's voice sounded a bit hesitant: "I think... your first gay lover?"

Tony: "...that joke is so cold."

"If you are going to leave this world, I suggest that you don't get too emotionally involved with others." Jarvis seriously suggested, "Given the process of your acquaintance with Jim Moriarty, I think it is It is necessary to pay attention in advance."

"Jarvis, I don't think you would suggest that for no reason." Tony said, "Frankly speaking, in my world, do I have a girlfriend?"

Jarvis paused for a second, and Tony immediately said: "Stop, don't tell me for now, wait until I take out these damned crystals. Since it will be affected by my subconscious, and I have done it with it in a coma. A struggle, then I will lock my own memory must have something to do with this."

"Maybe you can keep it," Jarvis said, "because it's April 2010, 4, sir."

"so what?"

"But we came from the parallel universe on June 2011, 6, sir." Jarvis said, "Have you ever thought that the wormhole might open on the same day in this world?"

Tony opened his mouth and found that his throat was dry and hoarse: "... Shall I face the Chitauri again or return to that void?"

"So you can keep these crystals and figure out how they work. I think they have something in common with the Rubik's Cube and the yellow gemstones on Loki's scepter."

Tony was silent for a while: "...I will think about it. There are still fourteen months left, Jarvis, we can't waste this time, can we? Now you know that we are under the protection of a criminal... um , if I plan to leave, maintaining the status quo is of course the best choice. But some things can't just be watched, I don't know how long the trust between us can last..."

"—is that what you mean, sir?"

The screen on the workbench lit up, and the picture was approaching the ruins.A male voice was broadcasting the real-time news: "...the explosion destroyed several floors and killed 12 people. The accident was caused by a faulty gas main..."

Tony stood up.
