As for Hawkeye Barton's call, he was sorry. He was on vacation now. He didn't intend to punish evil and promote good in order to offend his girlfriend. He was not that great yet.
With Eddie's refusal again, Barton had to examine Eddie's situation.

On the other side.
Tony found a warehouse with his Mark 42 armor. After confirming that the owner of the house was not there, he forced the door of the warehouse open.
Tony stood at the door and took a look at the items in the warehouse. Then, after putting Mark 42 on the sofa, Tony said self-deprecatingly: "Let you sit comfortably. Are you happy now?"
Tony sat on the sofa to rest for a while, then came to the workbench, picked up a pair of pliers and began to clamp out the fragments on his arm.
At this time, a child came in with a potato gun in his hand and pointed it at Tony, saying: "Stop!"
"Don't move."
Tony looked at the child at the door, put down the pliers in his hand, and said in cooperation: "You caught me."
Then he said: "The potato gun is good."
"The barrel is a little long. With this length and width, it is not accurate to aim."
The boy aimed at the glass cup on the wall shelf and broke the cup with one shot, indicating that the gun's accuracy is not bad at all.
Tony put down his hand and said: "Now you have no bullets."
The boy looked at the glowing object on Tony's chest and asked: "What is on your chest."
Tony smiled and said: "This is an electromagnet."
"You must know, you have a lot of things here."
The little boy continued to ask: "What is it used for."
Tony did not answer, but stood up and shone the table lamp on the table to the Mark 42 on the sofa.
The boy's expression changed after seeing it, and he shouted in surprise: "Oh my God!"
"That, that is... is that Iron Man?"
Tony looked at the boy and said: "Strictly speaking, I am."
The boy walked in front of Tony, put a newspaper on his chest, and said: "Strictly speaking, you are dead."
Tony opened the newspaper and saw his own photo and the title: Mandarin attacked, Stark rumored to be dead.
Tony said helplessly: "Okay."
Then he threw the newspaper aside, and the boy came to the sofa, looked at the damaged version of Mark 42 and asked: "What happened to him?"
"Alive."
"I created him and take care of him."
"I will fix him."
The boy looked at Tony and said: "Isn't that mechanical work."
Hearing what the other party said, Tony did not refute: "I guess so."
The boy looked at Tony and said: "Well, if I made Iron Man and War Machine..."
Before the other party finished speaking, Tony said: "Now it's called Iron Patriot."
The boy exclaimed: "This is even cooler."
Tony retorted: "No, not at all."
"Anyway, I will install a mirror..."
Tony asked: "Mirror reflection device?"
The boy nodded: "Let him be invisible."
Tony: "You want invisible mode?"
The boy: "Isn't it a good idea?"
Tony nodded: "This is a good idea, I can make one later."
The boy looked at Mark 42's finger and broke it off out of curiosity.
Tony saw this and quickly shouted, "Don't do that."
"Look what you did?"
"Are you going to break his finger?"
"He's injured and sore all over, stay away from him."
The teenager bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry."
Tony asked, "Are you serious?"
Then he continued, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Then he asked about the teenager's family, "Who's home?"
"My mom went to work at the restaurant, and my dad went to 7-11 to buy scratch tickets."
"I guess he won the lottery, because he's been gone for six years."
After hearing the teenager's words, Tony hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay for a dad to leave his child."
"I need the following things, a notebook, an electronic watch, and a mobile phone."
"The gas on your little steel cannon over there A screw threaded pipe, a map of the town, a large spring and a tuna sandwich. "
Hearing Tony's request, the boy asked: "What's the benefit for me to do this?"
Tony thought for a while and asked: "What's his name to save you?"
"Who?"
Tony continued: "What's the name of the person who bullied you at school?"
The boy asked curiously: "How do you know?"
Tony did not answer the other party. Obviously, he knew that a child who lost his father 7 years ago would definitely be bullied by his classmates at school. He walked to Mark 42 and said: "This thing of mine is just to your taste."
He took out a metal can from Mark 42's arm, held it in his hand and said: "This is a can of crickets."
"Just kidding, this is a very powerful weapon. "
"Don't get it in your face, press the button on the top to scare people away."
"If you don't worry about your life, it's just for self-defense, how about it?"
The young man immediately reached out to take it, but Tony did not hand it to the young man, but continued to ask: "How is it?"
"Deal?"
"make a deal."
After handing the things to the teenager, Tony asked: "What's your name?"
"Harry, your name is..."
Tony replied directly: "Machinist, Tony."
Then he looked at Harry and said, "Do you know what's going on in my mind?"
"Where's my sandwich?"
Harry immediately sat up from the sofa and looked for Tony's items that he had just asked for.

the other side.
In Rose Hill Villa, Aldrich Killian received a call from his subordinates.
"Sir, the house was blown up by us, but no bodies were found."
"No Stark found."
Killian said calmly: "Understood."
"I'm leaving. The master should be recording, but he's a little..."
"You know his temper."
"Continue to proceed as planned today, and call me when you're done."
After that, Killian hung up the phone and walked into a room where there were a large number of photographers and staff.
At this time, Killian said: "Listen to me, no talking or eye contact, otherwise I will shoot you in the head."
Soon the master came to the scene and sat on the chair. Then he looked at Killian and said, "Okay, what are we waiting for?"
This master is none other than the terrorist leader Mandarin who appears in the news, but he is actually an 18th-rate actor and a drug addict.
As the master takes his place, video recording begins immediately.
······
the other side.
After Jiraiya inspected the scene, he and Kankuro came to an uninhabited cliff.
Kankuro on the side looked at Jiraiya and said, "What should we do?"
Jiraiya said, "Find Tony."
Jiraiya bit his finger, formed a seal with his hands and said, "Psychic technique!"
"boom!"
A burst of smoke dissipated, and Parker's figure appeared in front of the two of them.
Seeing that the psychic was Jiraiya, Parker raised his head and said, "Jiraiya-sama!"
Jiraiya looked at the ninja dog Parker and said, "Parker, do you still remember Tony Stark's breath?"
Parker heard Jiraiya's words and said, "Remember, I'm very familiar with that guy."
"Did something happen to him?"
Jiraiya talked about Tony's situation: "He disappeared after being attacked by terrorists. I need you to lead us to find him."
Parker shook his head helplessly: "My meal ticket was captured by terrorists again. It's really disturbing."
Then Parker began to lower his head and smell Stark's scent, but after a while he raised his head and said:
"Stark is not in New York. Maybe he traveled a little far this time."
Parker sensed it for a while, and then said, "I found it, come with me."
Watching Parker's disappearing figure, Jiraiya looked at Kankuro and said: "Little fellow Sunagakure, remember not to fall behind."
The next second, Jiraiya chased in the direction where Parker disappeared, and Kankuro quickly followed.

the other side.
Tony and Harry came to the town, and Tony complained about what Harry brought: "The sandwiches are okay, but the springs are a bit rusty."
"Let's make do with the other materials first."
"Besides, you said you would give me your sister's watch..."
Harry asked confused: "What's wrong?"
Tony pulled up his sleeves, showed the girl's cartoon watch on his wrist and said, "I thought it was a slightly more mature watch than this."
Harry smiled and said, "She's only six years old. Come on, this is a limited edition."
Then Harry asked: "When will we talk about the New York incident?"
Tony refused: "I probably won't say it, just forget it."
"What about the Avengers, can we talk about them?"
Tony refused again: "Forget it, let's talk about it later."
"Kid, give me some private space."
During the conversation, Tony and Harry came to an open space where memorial items were placed and there were several black figures on the wall.
Tony asked in confusion: "What's the situation here, what happened?"
Harry came to the center, looked at the things on the ground and said, "There is a man named Chad Davis who lives on the corner of this street."
"When he was in the army, he won a lot of medals."
"Later, everyone said he suddenly went crazy. He made a bomb and blew himself up right here."
Tony stepped forward and looked at the figures appearing on the wall, but he recalled that he had seen the news when he asked Jarvis to investigate. After observing it for a while, he asked: "Six people died. right."
Harry nodded: "Yes."
Tony continued, "Count Chad Davis in."
"That's right."
Tony came and sat down next to Harry, and then said, "Really? This doesn't make sense."
"Think about it, six dead but only five shadows."
Harry nodded and said, "Yes."
"People say these shadows are the mark of the soul entering heaven."
"Then Brother Bomb is pitiful. He fell into hell, so his shadow went in with him."
"That's why there are only five shadows."
Tony asked: "Do you believe it?"
Harry didn't say he believed it, but said, "Everyone says so."
Tony shook his head. Obviously he didn't believe this reason. He was a man who had seen the demons in hell.
At this time, Harry looked at the deep crater left by the bomb explosion in front of him and said, "Do you know what this crater reminds me of?"
"I don't know, and I don't care."
Harry smiled and gestured with his hands: "The huge wormhole in New York."
"What does it remind you of?"
Tony looked at Harry and said, "I don't want to say anything you want to trick me into."
Harry continued to ask: "Aliens, will they come back?"
"possible."
Then Tony said angrily: "Can you shut up?"
"Didn't I tell you that I have an anxiety attack?"
Harry asked doubtfully: "Does this topic make you...uncomfortable?"
"It's a little bit, can I take a breath?"
Harry kept talking and continued to ask: "Are there any bad people in Rose Hill?"
Seeing Tony struggling to breathe, Harry asked with concern: "Do you need a bag to help you breathe?"
"Did you take medicine?"
"No."
"Do you need any medicine?"
"possible."
"Do you have post-traumatic stress disorder?"
"I don't think so."
"Are you going to...are you going to become mentally ill?"
"I can shut up. Do you want me to shut up?"
As Harry kept chattering, Tony couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Didn't I tell you to shut up a long time ago?"
"I swear, you're driving me crazy."
After taking a look at Harry, Tony couldn't sit down any longer. He immediately got up from the ground, turned around and said, "Naughty kid, you really drove me crazy. Are you happy?"
Harry turned to look at Tony and shouted in confusion: "What did I say?"
"Hey, wait for me."
Harry immediately stood up and ran after Tony.
Tony had just run to the intersection, but he couldn't hold on anymore and fell to his knees in twitching.
Harry chased after him and yelled, "Wait, wait."
Harry finally ran to Tony's side and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Tony knelt on the ground, took off his hat and grabbed the snow on the ground, covering his face to calm himself down.
Then he took the snow on his face in his hand, smashed it at Harry and said:
"You made me squirm."
Harry was not angry even after being hit by snow, and was still holding back a smile on his face. He obviously found Tony's behavior very interesting.
Tony had already calmed down, put on his hat again and said:
"Okay, let's get down to business."
"Where were we?"
"The man is dead, where are his family members? Mother, Ms. Davis, where is she?"
Harry thought for a moment and then said: "She stayed in one place, a bar."
Tony said to Harry: "See, this is where the idea comes in."
"Take me to the bar you mentioned."
Soon Harry brought Tony to the area near the bar. Tony looked at the bar opposite and said, "Harry, wait for me here. Don't go in."
Harry nodded, then Tony lowered the brim of his hat and walked towards the bar across the street.
Arriving opposite the bar, Tony was about to enter the bar and collided with a woman and knocked off one of her items.
"sorry."
Tony turned around and picked up what the other party dropped and handed it back to the other party.
"Ma'am, your stuff."
The other person turned around and looked at Tony, who then took what was in the other person's hand.
"Thanks."
At this time, a gust of wind blew by, blowing the woman's red hair, revealing the scars on her face.
Tony glanced at the injuries on the other person's face, was stunned for a moment, and then changed the subject and said, "The hair is nice, it matches you very well."
The woman also glanced at the watch on Tony's hand and said, "Your watch is also very good."
Tony raised his arm, pointed at it and said, "Yes, it's still a limited edition."
The lady smiled and said, "That's necessary."
Then he said to Tony: "Have a good time tonight."
Seeing the other party leaving, Tony also turned and walked into the bar.
After entering the bar, Tony looked around at everyone in the bar, then found where Ms. Davis was, and walked over and said, "Ms. Davis?"
Seeing the other person looking at him, and after confirming that he had found the right person, Tony asked: "Can I sit down?"
Davis glanced at Tony and said calmly: "Life is born free."
Tony nodded: "Indeed."
Tony then did it, and Davis looked at him and said, "Okay, tell me what you have to say."
After hearing the other party's words, Tony said: "I want to say that I feel very sad for you losing your son in your later years."
"I want to know what happened."
Davis glanced at Tony and then said, "I brought you this information. You can take it and leave."
"No matter what it says, that's not what he wanted to do."
Tony looked at the document and saw it said 'Secret Document, Missing Person in Action. ’
Looking through the files, there were photos and some information on them. Tony said while looking through them: "Obviously, you are waiting for someone else, right?"
"Someone's going to meet you here, right."
Davis nodded and said, "Yes."
Tony looked at it briefly, then looked at the other person and said seriously: "Ms. Davis, your son did not commit suicide."
"I assure you, he didn't hurt anyone."
"Someone took advantage of him."
Davis asked confused: "Why?"
Tony continued: "Someone used him as a gunman."
After hearing Tony's words, Davis took the document back and pressed it under his arm again, then looked at the other party and said:
"You're not the one on the phone, are you?"
At this moment, the lady who had just collided with Tony came to the table, placed an item on the table, and said, "Actually, I am!"
Tony looked at the other party, and the next second the woman grabbed Tony's arm and pushed him down on the table, and put handcuffs on Tony.
