Chapter 723: Successive Attacks and Anger
Soon, under Tony Stark's heartfelt comfort, the atmosphere in the office became charming, but before Tony Stark could further comfort Pepper, Jarvis's voice rang out. : "Sir, the Human Torch will be here in about two minutes..."
"Human Torch? What is he doing here?" A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Tony Stark's eyes after being interrupted. He looked at Pepper in his arms and muttered hesitantly, "If you hurry up..."
"What are you thinking about? We'll talk about it when you come back tonight!" Pepper rolled her eyes at Tony Stark angrily, stood up from his lap, and said softly, "I'm going to handle the company's affairs. Remember to come back tonight. …”
"Got it!" Tony Stark nodded quickly and looked towards the distant sky. When he saw a firelight appearing in his sight, Tony Stark couldn't help but said, "It's really coming. It’s not the time!”
Of course Tony Stark knew why Johnny Stone was here. Something happened to Pepper before, and Tony Stark had no time to say anything to the Avengers, so he hurried over. Now Johnny Stone should have received the news. So I came over to take a look.
It's not that the other Avengers don't care about his and Pepper's safety, but Johnny Stone can't sit still after hearing the news about Flame Man.
After all, although it was known that there was more than one Flame Man before, the Flame Man did not do anything evil at that time, but it is different now. The Flame Man actually took action against Pepper, even if he wanted to target them for revenge. The Alliance of Hunters, so Johnny Stone was also thinking about whether Tony Stark would gain anything after defeating the Flame Man.
Unexpectedly, Johnny Stone flew directly to the window of the Stark Group Building. Jarvis did not need to wait for Tony Stark's order, so he directly opened the window and let Johnny Stone fly in.
"The temperature of your flame is far worse than that of the Flame Man, and according to previous intelligence, the strength of their Flame Man is almost the same..." Seeing Johnny Stone coming in, Tony Stark deliberately looked at Johnny Stone and teased He got up and wanted to hit Johnny Stone and take revenge on Johnny Stone for ruining his good deeds uninvited.
"Is it so dangerous?" Johnny's expression turned serious when he heard this. After the flames dissipated from his body, he looked at Tony Stark with a solemn expression and asked, "You fought with him and noticed the ability between me and him. What’s the difference?”
"I noticed this." Tony Stark did not joke this time, but watched Johnny Stone explain seriously, and at the same time showed the image of himself fighting Matthews.
Although Tony Stark and Matthews have not been fighting each other for a long time, Jarvis's database now knows more and more about extraordinary people, and he is naturally able to analyze more specific information about extraordinary powers. situation.
"The essence of your flame is actually different. Before you incarnate into the flame state, it is more like using the power in your body to condense a blazing flame. Your essence is burning, but his essence is heating. He is more like It is a magma condensation that can continuously heat up..." Looking at the scene played in front of him, Tony Stark gave his own speculation.
"Burning...heating..." Johnny Stone looked at Matthews's flame power, and his eyes slowly lit up. He seemed to realize why his flames could not burn in a vacuum environment. If he could master this With the ability to heat up at will, if you combine it with your original flame ability, your power will definitely be able to go further!
"Shall we contact the Saiyans or Superman? See if we can contact the members of Karma Taj and ask them if powers from other dimensions have come to the earth recently..." Johnny Stone replied After the god came, his mind suddenly started to work. He thought of what Tony Stark had said about the flame dimension before, so he looked at Tony Stark and suggested.
"Eh? You actually thought of this method?" Tony Stark couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Johnny Stone's suggestion. He didn't expect that Johnny Stone, who always didn't like to use his brain, wanted to improve his strength. At that time, he actually became so smart, which really shocked Tony Stark.
"There is no need to contact the Saiyans and Superman. Superman is still on the African continent. If he hadn't saved some soldiers from time to time and showed some strength, allowing both sides to compress the battlefield, even the entire African continent would have been affected by this. The war was involved..." Tony Stark shook his head after coming back to his senses, looked at Johnny Stone and said softly,
"As for the Saiyans, I don't know where this guy has gone. He may have gone to practice, or he may have gone to find Supergirl to live in a world of two. After all, both of them have disappeared. As for you who want to contact me, As for Karma Taj, Martian Manhunter can do the same, I'll inform him..."
"Okay." Johnny nodded after hearing this, but he had no intention of objecting to Tony Stark's suggestion.
"Kama Taj said that although the earth dimension is still not safe, some little guys stow away from time to time, but it does not have much impact. Those stowaways have been dealt with. As for the large-scale invasion of dimensional forces, They didn't find anything..." Soon, Martian Manhunter contacted Kama Taj and gave them their answer.
"If we calculate based on the number of flame users we have seen, the force of this invasion must be huge, but they did not detect any flame-related power dimension..."
"Not a flame dimension? Could it be some kind of mutation experiment?" Tony Stark frowned after hearing the answer from Martian Manhunter, and then ordered Jarvis, "Jarvis, screen out all the people who bought a lot of experimental supplies, and check them one by one!"
"Okay, sir." Although the workload Tony Stark said was enough to make humans despair, fortunately Jarvis was not a human, he was a powerful artificial intelligence, and this workload was not enough to make him crash.
However, it would take time to completely screen out the target Tony Stark wanted to find. After all, there were too many people who would buy experimental supplies, whether it was colleges or larger official institutions, they were all in this category, and the most important thing was that the flame man might have been created by them!
"Let's go back first. This is not the base after all. Many things cannot be deduced and displayed..." Tony Stark looked at his office and frowned. He said to Johnny Stone, then said goodbye to Pepper and agreed to go home at night. Then he followed Johnny Stone back to the Avengers base and continued to check the types of experimental supplies with Jarvis, analyze the possible extraordinary experiments, and continue to monitor the places where the flames appeared.
On the other side, Killian also received the news that Tony Stark personally took action and defeated the flames. When he knew that Matthews almost kidnapped Pepper, Killian couldn't help but be stunned.
You know, Killian made a series of plans and made multiple preparations because he had no confidence in Matthews. If he had known that Matthews was so easy to succeed, he would have sent a few more men to meet Matthews. Wouldn't he have successfully kidnapped Pepper?
Unfortunately, it is useless to regret now. Fortunately, although Matthews failed, he also gave Pepper an unforgettable experience. At the same time, Killian also received the news that Tony Stark had left the Stark Group Building. He quickly contacted Shane and asked them to prepare to see which home Pepper would eventually return to.
But Pepper didn't know that her experience today was dangerous enough, and someone was trying to murder her serially. She was still thinking about how to spend a happy romantic time with Tony Stark at night to completely forget the unpleasant experience during the day, but she didn't expect that her home was no longer safe...
Of course, Pepper didn't even get back to her home. When she drove to an unmanned section of her home, a ball of fire slammed into the front of Pepper's car.
Shane naturally didn't mean to kill Pepper on the spot. He just planned to blow up the road ahead and force Pepper to stop.
"Shit!" When seeing the scene in front of her, even Pepper couldn't help but swear. She didn't even mean to turn the steering wheel, but directly pressed the watch on her hand.
"Buzz!" In just a moment, Pepper's watch was directly covered with a layer of mecha. This set of mecha is actually an extension of Tony Stark's mecha. In essence, it is a set, and it is also a means for Tony Stark to keep an eye on Pepper when he left.
"Boom!"
But Tony Stark didn't expect that the means he left behind actually worked again. Pepper's figure flew out of the sports car. As for the sports car that lost control and crashed into the explosion, Pepper didn't mean to feel sorry. Anyway, she was fine, and the car was not worth much.
"Fortunately, I rejected Happy's offer to send me back." Flying in the air, Pepper couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. After being attacked, Happy, who was having fun outside, hurried back and prepared to protect Pepper home, but Pepper said that he had Tony Stark's means and rejected Happy's kindness.
At this time, Pepper thought that if he hadn't rejected Happy, Happy would have been submerged in the explosion along with the sports car. After all, this set of extended mecha could save himself, but not necessarily Happy...
"Fuck!" At the same time, Tony Stark in the Avengers base directly cursed, and the whole person was ignited, just like being injected with the desperate virus. He never thought that these flame people would stare at Pepper like this.
When Doctor Octopus announced his identity before, Tony Stark thought that it would not cause any impact if he and Steve announced their identities. After all, no one dared to attack the Stark Group and Pepper.
But now, Tony Stark has a clearer understanding that no matter who you are, as long as you take off the mask of a superhero, the people around you will inevitably be greatly affected, because some people are not so moral and smart, they just want to deal with your relatives and friends!
"I'll go with you to see if we can get some useful information. It's too slow to check bit by bit like this!" The Martian Hunter patted Tony Stark on the shoulder and spoke directly.
"Okay!" Tony Stark didn't bother to care about Martian Manhunter peeking into his mind again. He now wanted to catch all those Flame People and no longer let anyone threaten Pepper!
"What the hell? Why does she still have a mecha with her?" On the other side, when he saw Pepper flying out of the sports car, a trace of confusion flashed in Xia En's eyes, and he was a little unable to react for a moment. , so that he did not continue the subsequent attack.
After all, not to mention that Shane didn't know the details of the previous encounters between Matthews, Tony Stark, and Pepper. Even Killian didn't know either. Naturally, they couldn't synchronize the details of the encounter between Pepper and Pepper. The latest information from the Avengers.
And when Pepper flew up, Shane didn't know what to do for a while. Although they could heat up their whole bodies and turn themselves into firemen and lava, the Extremis virus did not give them the ability to fly, so Looking at Pepper in the sky, Shane felt like he had no idea what to do.
"No! We've already taken action, we definitely can't stop!" However, when Shane saw that Pepper had not flown away, he gritted his teeth, condensed a ball of flame in his hand, and threw it at Pepper where.
"Uh-huh!"
"Boom!"
It's a pity that this ball of flames was not able to hit Pepper in the air. After it hit the air, there was a loud explosion, but it did not achieve anything.
"It's really troublesome! How about retreating?" Xia En saw Pepper dodge so easily, and instantly knew that he had no way to catch Pepper, so a new thought flashed in his mind.
After all, judging from the news delivered by Killian before, Matthews is dead. Since his attempt failed, it is better to leave quickly, otherwise he is worried that he will follow in Matthews' footsteps...
"Where are you going? Tell me, why are you targeting me? Is it to target Tony?" Seeing Shane running in the other direction without looking back, Pepper had no intention of leaving. , and even chased in the direction of Xia En, while constantly asking questions.
Pepper knew that Tony Stark must be on his way here now. His extended mecha had no combat effectiveness, but he had to find a way to hold Shane back and figure out their purpose.
After all, Pepper doesn't want to have to encounter something like this every day in the future, which may make it impossible for him to live a normal life... (End of Chapter)
