It was almost twelve o'clock at midnight, and Pepper returned to Malibu 10880 full of exhaustion.The huge villa was brightly lit, but empty and devoid of people.Jarvis's flat voice sounded as usual, and the service was still considerate and considerate. Everything seemed to be the same as before, but Pepper knew it would never be the same again.

From the day the Chitauri invaded Earth, it was never the same.Tony rushed into the wormhole with the nuclear bomb just like that...

Three days have passed since the incident, but the scene at that time is still vivid in my mind, as clear as if it happened in the last second.In the past three days, she has received countless comforts, including Tony's old friends, some from S.H.I.E.L.D., and those Avengers companions who fought alongside Tony... Thor clumsily said that he would try his best to find out in the universe Tony's whereabouts, at least...bring his body back...

Tears unknowingly filled his eyes again.Pepper closed her eyes, calmed down a little, got up and poured a glass of water.Today is her last day here...tomorrow she is moving to Manhattan.Tony left too hastily. Even if Jarvis took out his will, it only slightly reduced her workload. Stark Industries still has a lot of mess to deal with...

Pepper put down the water glass and sighed silently.At this moment, she suddenly heard some noises on the stairs, like human footsteps...

"...Jarvis?" Pepper frowned and called softly.Jarvis did not answer, but the lights in the villa suddenly went out.At the same time, all the projection screens lit up in an instant, and the words "System Upgrade" appeared in front of Pepper's eyes...

Pepper immediately took off her shoes and stockings, found a gadget from her handbag, and tiptoed towards the stairs.The operation of the air conditioner also stopped, and in the silence, she clearly heard footsteps getting closer.Once, twice...

Finally, when the other party approached the first floor, when the vague shadow appeared on the wall, Pepper put on special earplugs for himself, and pressed the button in his hand without hesitation.

The sound waves quickly spread out from the small instrument, and the people on the stairs were caught off guard by the impact. The shadow shook and fell down the stairs.Pepper nervously watched the movement, and slowly approached the uninvited guest with the instrument.She knew the power of such a thing in her hand, and she was not worried that the other party still had the ability to resist... However, just seeing the other party's face, Pepper couldn't help screaming: "Tony!!??"

The figure on the ground was Tony, who was judged to be missing in the universe. Pepper confirmed this amazing information with just a glance.Before she had time to digest the many feelings at this moment, she rushed over and patted Tony's cheek nervously: "Tony? Tony!? Are you okay??"

Tony opened his mouth weakly, but Pepper couldn't hear anything.She approached him: "what? What did you say? "

Tony: "...can you please release the button first..." Or unplug the earplugs! ! !

After about five seconds, Pepper finally reacted belatedly and frantically stopped the instrument.After a while of flying around, Tony finally lay down on his comfortable sofa.Pepper fed him half a cup of special drink, and Tony's pale face slowly recovered.

Pepper's current mood is extremely complicated, joy, rejoicing, and fear... She gently put Tony's head on her lap, and gently massaged his temple: "...God, I can't believe it... We just had your funeral..."

"Have a good time? ... I mean, there must be a lot of people who want to throw a party right away when they hear of my death. But at the funeral, they're supposed to be kind? Has anyone used eye drops to pretend to be tears? "

"As far as I know, there is no party yet, because you almost became the hero flying the flag at half-mast. I don't think anyone will dare to blatantly carnival for at least a month." Pepper couldn't help laughing, his heart was full of joy , "And in the past two days, almost twenty girls have claimed to be pregnant after having sex with you, and one of them has a son who is almost 20 years old...he looks quite similar to you."

Tony's eyes widened in surprise, "No—"

"Yes."

"No, I mean, it's impossible for someone to look like me." Tony sat up, pointing at his face seriously, "Are you sure there is someone who looks like me? With my unique face, there is no one in the world. Uniquely handsome..."

Pepper suddenly screamed again and jumped back in surprise: "Tony—!! Your face!! How did you suddenly look younger!!?"

The power system was suddenly paralyzed, and the villa now relies on the moon to provide a little light. For the first time, Pepper focused on Tony's appearance, and suddenly noticed the change in her boyfriend's appearance, and was dumbfounded.Her brain thought of other places uncontrollably, and couldn't help asking: "How did you come back from the black hole!!?"

"I'm not a clone, Pepper, and I'm not my own son." Tony saw through her thoughts at a glance, and spread his hands helplessly, "As for how I got back... It's a bit of an adventure, cough, let's compare Long story. Can you treat it as a hangover from wormhole travel for a while?"

At this moment, the power supply of the villa was restored.The lights came back on, and Jarvis' voice sounded: "The data integration is complete, sir. Good evening, Miss Pepper, long time no see."

"...well, and Jarvis." Tony curled his fingers unnaturally, took a deep breath suddenly, and looked away.

"Pepper, I know it's only been three days here...I have something to tell you, it might come out of the blue...but I don't think I should keep anything from you. After listening, whatever you do I will bear any reaction..."

"—Wait." Pepper interrupted him, the smile disappeared from his face, "It's too late, I want to wait until tomorrow to hear these words."

"Pepper..."

"If you can't sleep, you can first inform others that you are back. I think everyone needs to know this as soon as possible."

"……wear……"

"Can you shut up, Tony Stark!"

Pepper yelled at the top of his lungs, raised his hand and slapped Tony across the face.She tried her best to restrain the trembling of her tone, and stood up: "What bastard thing did you do, does it matter now!? I just want to be glad that you came back alive... In the past three days, I have realized what it is to lose you forever Taste, thank goodness you are still alive, do you think I still care about what adventure you have and which girl you fell in love with!? You should know that no matter what you are going to tell me now, I will forgive you, because you are still alive! "

She suddenly covered her face again, tears gleaming between her fingers: "God..."

Tony hugged her gently: "Pepper...good girl..."

"...No...I can't forgive you..." The emotions that had accumulated in my heart for three days all burst out, and Pepper choked up, "Tony Stark...you complete bastard...you should be the first Just call and let me know when you're back..."

"I thought about it, but I was afraid to scare you, so I wanted to make things more natural..." Tony sighed, and let go of Pepper again, "And... Actually, what I want to say is not about girls... "

"Shut up, whatever it is, I said it and I don't want to hear it now..."

"...I fell in love with a man."

It took Tony a while to get over the consequences of Pepper's resignation as CEO in a rage and off to Hawaii to relax.It took two months for people to accept his new image, but even if he grew a beard again, the mature charm of his gestures disappeared along with this tender face... Many Stark Industries Old employees and shareholders all lamented that they seemed to see the young Tony who took over the group after the death of Howard Stark. There is also a kind of speculation behind the scenes that is very popular-in fact, the "Tony Stark" who reappeared after the funeral "It should be Tony's son, anyway, regardless of age or appearance.They are more willing to believe this kind of gossip-filled news than traveling through the wormhole to change people back to their youthful appearance.

Scientists were quite excited about this, because Tony shared his experience of traveling in wormholes when he held a press conference, and many papers on wormholes emerged for a while.There are also organizations that ask Tony to share his wormhole traversal technology to contribute to the rejuvenation of the public... There are so many ridiculous incidents.

But in any case, life finally gradually entered the right track.In his spare time, in addition to studying the steel suit, Tony also obtained the consent of Captain America Steve Rogers, and began to compare the similarities and differences between the two evolutionary directions... It's a pity that the captain refused to agree to draw a tube of blood for him to study , and sternly asked him not to make new serums.But in fact, organizations that study super soldier serums have already appeared, and there are also test products with a high degree of completion.S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Fury revealed something to Tony, and Tony was intrigued.

Many things happened during the two months. For example, like Tony, Coulson, who was thought to have died in the battle with Loki, survived and reappeared in the sight of the Avengers.Under the instruction of Fury, he formed a special team of his own, started to go out on the field, and came into contact with the secret organization related to the manufacture of super soldiers on the first mission.Tony is delighted to have his friend back.

Life is full and there are countless things to do every day.Tony felt that he might soon forget the magical experience in the parallel universe... Only occasionally he would pull out the chain to look at the clear and gorgeous sapphire.

Jim Moriarty...

The more I return to my original life, the more I realize how different he is.

Tony sighed and buried himself in the code again.

On Thursday, August 2011, 8, the weather was heavy and rainy.Today is the day of the underworld, the sun is broken, and the moon is broken, so it is not suitable for major events.

A strange black-red mist emerged from an alley in Manhattan, and the mist immediately spread out into a circular hollow.

A figure stepped out of it.
