I become light in American comics

Tony Stark walked into the bar and was led directly to a private room by the waiter. The old man in a gray suit was already waiting there.

Alexander Pierce, former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and current Minister of the World Security Council.

He leaned back in his chair and gestured politely at Tony's glass as he entered.

"You are a difficult man to find, Mr. Stark."

Pierce watched Tony sit down opposite and said with a smile.

"Actually, I've been looking for a chance to chat with you half a month ago, but... you know, you are really a busy man."

"Don't mind, I don't even have time to sleep." Tony shrugged.

He had never bothered to deal with such official figures before, but sometimes people just have to learn to compromise. After becoming Iron Man, he found it more and more difficult to stay away from politics, especially when he arrogantly disclosed his identity on TV and had a big business and a whole group to take care of.

So far, the Avengers have a high reputation among the people, and the world regards them as heroes and guardians. But this is not the case among the upper echelons.

Especially in the eyes of senior military and political leaders, the Avengers' positioning is in a very delicate position. Some people would think that the Avengers are a private armed force entrenched in their territory - and that they are at the top of their game with full threat levels.

Some even suggested that maybe the Avengers should be given all the powers and obligations of a member state in the United Nations. They should be treated as independent international bodies.

There are even more outrageous things, but of course they are just rumors at the moment. Nowadays, the reputation of the Avengers is at its peak, and no one has come up with a defense force repertoire such as a world-destroying robot. In this context, it is unrealistic to implement measures such as the Hero Registration Act.

But that doesn't mean they can't apply pressure.

"You know you make a lot of people very nervous." Pierce took a sip of wine and said leisurely, "Nick has done his best to help you cope with the pressure. In fact, I also helped a lot.

But Avengers have a very special nature. You should understand it best of them all, Tony. You understand how things work from above, and there has never been a team as special as the Avengers in this country.

Many people are uneasy about this. "

"If you are apologizing for us saving your lives time and time again, then you might as well waive it." Tony crossed his legs and picked up a glass of wine without hesitation, "Because you and I both know that we will still Then do that.”

"I'm not telling you to let the Avengers reduce their actions or restrict your freedom. Really, I'm on your side."

Pierce sat up straight, like an old man who spoke with sincerity.

"Even though you may not think so, I'm your friend, Tony. I understand you, the burden you feel, the responsibility you feel. What you expect the Avengers to be.

You regret the past, right? You just want to wake up every morning and look at yourself in the mirror. "

Tony: "."

"I said, I'm your friend. I understand and admire everything you do. I also hope you can go further." He said with a smile.

Tony said nothing, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then raised his head.

"So what do you want to say?" he asked. "There are signs that tell me that you didn't come to me to commend your merits, or to give a little red flower to the Avengers. Tell me, what do you want?"

"Nothing, just need a little help."

Pierce said lightly.

"As I just said, Nick, I, and the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., we are doing our best to ensure space for the Avengers. But we have something practical, something that can shut them up."

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Tony.

“I already heard, you got a huge upgrade, right?

Nano Iron Man Armor. That's not just a suit of armor, right? It becomes a part of you, giving you faster thinking, super brain power, and the ability to hack into any electronic device with your mind. Is there anything I missed? "

"Ha, so I'm finally willing to speak."

Tony sat back in his chair and smiled.

"So this is what you're after, right? Desperate situation?"

Seeing the situation, Pierce finally put forward his demand.

"Many great inventors didn't realize they were going to rewrite history when they were creating," Pierce said. "Think about what can be done in desperate situations. What a great technology this is.

How many people can benefit from this?"

"Or maybe the wrong people got the wrong powers. Sorry, Minister. But Extremis is not for sale, just like Iron Man."

Tony drank the wine in his glass and stood up.

"As for what it can bring to the world? That's my job. I'm already thinking about it. I will customize a better future, and I don't think anyone else can do it better than me.

So I'm sorry, but this is out of the question. I have a lot of things to do next, so I'll take my leave now. But today’s drink money is mine. "

He retreated to the door.

"Think about it, Stark. They're not going to let this go."

Pierce said without giving up as he reached the door.

"I am your friend, both Nick and I. I am reminding you as a friend. But you have to know that the person who comes next time will not be as easy to talk to as me."

Tony paused at the door and smiled at him.

"Thanks, man. But I guess I'd like to try my luck."

He said and backed out.

Pierce sighed slightly. Not long after, he also stood up and left the room.

Disappointing, but not unexpected.

At this time, no one knew that Hydra never died, but was parasitic within S.H.I.E.L.D. No one knows that former Director Alexander Pierce is even a senior member of Hydra.

Yes, this time he was lobbying ostensibly as the Minister of the World Security Council, but actually for Hydra. This brand new and upgraded desperate situation developed by Stark combines the human body and machinery to achieve a super leap in the integration of man and machine, which really makes the organization jealous.

But he also expected that it wouldn't go so smoothly. Stark is a stubborn bull, and it's almost impossible to talk him out of it.

After getting into his car, the driver asked: "Are you going back, sir?"

"No." Pierce said solemnly, "Go to the sixth safe house first."

The driver was stunned and lowered his voice: "Do you want to use 'that'?"

"Of course." Pierce said solemnly.

It's time for the Winter Soldier to end his hibernation.
