Chapter 2677 Hollywood Rhapsody (Part 9)
Chapter 2651 Hollywood Rhapsody (IX)
The car soon drove to the beach, which was a private beach of a well-known hotel. Stark had already reserved a spot. Those who wanted to swim, such as Stark, Peter, Steve and Bobby, went to the locker room to change into swimming trunks, while those who were not interested in swimming, such as Strange and Schiller, went to the bar to order a drink and walked to the lounge chair.
"You have to promise me not to tell anyone else." Strange walked on the beach with Schiller, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and lowered his voice and said, "This is a serious matter, you have to promise me."
"I can't give you any promise, because it won't be me who breaks this promise in the end." Schiller tilted his head and looked at him and said, "You are not the kind of person who can hide your feelings for too long, you can't do it."
"Of course I can." Strange said, "Don't confuse me with those isotopes. I have a clear mind and I know that things have priorities..."
"I hope so." Schiller took a sip of cold juice, but his face showed an expression of "I have no hope at all."
The sky at the seaside was bluer. It was almost noon and the sun was even more scorching. Schiller huddled under an umbrella and watched the group of people on the beach shouting.
It seemed that Steve proposed a surfing competition, and Stark was always not inferior to others in this kind of competition. Peter was obviously not very confident about Stark, and followed with a surfboard.
They were in a bay. To the east, there was a skyline where the sea and the sky met. To the west, there was another beach. It was not a private beach, so there were more people there. Because the distance was close, many people were looking at this side.
Stark, an egomaniac, was a narcissistic patient to be precise. He was a typical show-off. The eyes of others were the best fuel for him. If he had to be described in one word, it would be a show-off.
He didn't even lie on the surfboard to warm up or save energy. He stood on it before the big waves came, showing off his recent good fitness results.
But of course, no matter how much he worked out, he couldn't compare to Steve, or even Peter and Bobby, after all, the two of them were still young.
Stark repeatedly compared the figures of several people in his mind, and was obviously a little dissatisfied with himself. Although he was not inferior in height, he didn't have enough muscle mass, and the muscle lines were not as obvious as those of the others. From a distance, he couldn't compare to the momentum of the others.
In that case, let's conquer them with technical moves. Stark has practiced surfing well, and he doesn't believe that his handsome flips and turns can't attract everyone's attention.
But the weather was not good. Although it was windy today, there were no big waves in the bay here, but the waves on the opposite bay made people scream.
Seeing that he couldn't have fun, Stark was of course not happy. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the opposite side. The waves here are too small."
"Let's not do it, Tony." Peter said with some concern: "Surfing in windy days is dangerous. This is not a designated surfing area. Among us, you are the only one who doesn't have superpowers..."
Stark couldn't hear this. He jumped up as if someone stepped on his tail. He didn't want to argue with the people behind him, so he walked over there with his surfboard.
Steve shook his head helplessly and said, "You're almost going to be a father, but you're still so childish. I really need to have a good talk with Howard..."
There was no other way. The others could only risk their lives to accompany the gentleman, or rather, Stark, the gentleman, had to risk his life to accompany them, the supermen. Of course, they had to go over and watch, otherwise it would be troublesome if they were really knocked unconscious by the waves.
The beach here was too quiet, and Schiller and Strange felt bored sitting there, so they simply followed a few people and crossed a street selling water sports products to the beach opposite.
Someone immediately recognized that this was Iron Man and Captain America, and desperately moved forward to get autographs. A group of bikini beauties sitting at a table not far from the door kept whistling at Peter and Bobby, and the two fled in panic, and the ladies at several tables laughed loudly.
Normally Stark would be in a good mood to interact with his fans, but today he was determined to outperform others in surfing. Seeing that the wind had eased and the waves were not that big, he had to seize the last chance, so he just said a few words and rushed to the beach. "I swear I really didn't treat my fans perfunctorily." Stark stretched out his hands and pushed forward in the backstage interview and said: "They are really too much to say that. I also came here for a vacation from afar. Why can't I enjoy my life a little bit?" "And when I finished surfing, I rushed into the crowd. Not only did I sign autographs for each of them, but I also helped them take videos and photos. This even delayed my lunch. I didn't complain at all. I really don't know how they can say that I am a big shot." "Besides, didn't Steve ignore them? Does Captain America have the privilege of being immune from death? Or is his smile more lethal than mine?" "Tony overlooked one thing." Peter, who was sitting in the backstage interview room, folded his hands in front of him and said: "He has a lot of gossip reports in the past, or most of the entertainment reports about him are not very positive. Many people know that he has a bad temper and is always impatient."
"On the contrary, reports about Steve and I always tend to be positive. People think I'm a nerd who only knows how to do scientific research in the laboratory, while Steve is a sunny and cheerful good guy."
"So the audience of the beach report this time was surprised that I still have such a good figure and I'm also good at surfing. Of course, there are many positive comments about me, and Steve didn't do anything too out of the ordinary, which is in line with his usual polite image."
"But Tony didn't pay attention to details. When he saw the fans coming around, he didn't even take off his sunglasses. When he rushed forward, he didn't even check whether the surfboard he was holding hit anyone. If I hadn't helped He blocked it and knocked down the ordinary person behind him. He will be abused by the whole network..."
Stark hurried to the beach and was about to board when a wave receded. Steve hurriedly stopped him and said, "Didn't your coach teach you? When changing to another sea area, you should observe the situation first, and then warm up again..."
"Old scholar!" Stark said indifferently, "Then you warm up, I have to take off on the next wave."
Stark is indeed trained. His lower body is stable and his eyes are sharp. Seeing the big wave coming, he is not panicked at all. He exerts force on his waist, pushes down hard with his back foot, and then his body falls forward, and then relaxes his whole body, waiting for the wave to lift him up.
A standard half turn attracted cheers on the beach, but unexpectedly, there was a more enthusiastic scream on the other side of the shore. Stark looked over there and found a figure who turned one and a half in the air on the side peak of the big wave just now, and landed half a turn, which was ridiculously handsome.
Steve was still lying on the board paddling slowly. He knew that Stark wanted to be in the limelight, and he didn't want to stop him. He also signaled Peter with his eyes to stand up later. Peter pulled Bobby to paddle beside him.
But they didn't expect that they didn't stop him, and someone else was in the limelight. Steve looked over there, and his excellent eyesight allowed him to immediately recognize that it was a group of familiar people, the young people of the New Warriors team.
It was Robert who just played that difficult move. Stark obviously recognized him, but at this time another big wave came. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and pulled the rope in front of the board hard, and rushed straight towards the wave.
Peter stood up immediately when he saw that the situation was not right, slid the board to the side, and got under the waves that were more than ten meters high, and picked up Stark who was almost hit by the waves.
But who knew that Robert over there performed better, first with a reverse curl, then drew a smooth S-shape on the side wall of the wave, and after getting out of the wave tail, he jumped to the top, and then made a big turn, and fell with the wave.
Waves of more than ten meters sound scary, but in fact they are not particularly high, but this gorgeous and wonderful action caused waves of cheers on the coast.
Stark had a dark face since he came ashore. Robert came to say hello, and he also shook his hand away. Robert was a little puzzled, but he didn't come for Stark, but for Steve and Schiller.
Because of an accident in the plan before, he thought he had killed Captain America, which stimulated him and suffered from stress disorder. Schiller had been taking care of him. Later, in order to make up for his guilt, Steve also recruited him into the Avengers' reserve team and taught him various combat skills.
Robert originally has the ability of speedball, that is, he can bounce in the air like a ball. Even Captain America's mobility is not as good as his. This ability is born for speed and agility sports such as surfing. Stark has to compete with him, which is a bit unreasonable.
"I'm really fed up with these mutants!" Stark said angrily in the backstage interview: "They always steal the limelight in various places! They don't read the eyes at all!"
"I have to clarify again, I am not a mutant." Robert in the backstage interview has grown long hair and looks a bit like a rock youth. He said: "This ability was acquired accidentally, not innate. I also went through very hard training to master surfing skills. He can't erase my efforts just because of my talent."
"Tony Stark is used to doing this." Strange in the backstage interview curled his lips disdainfully and said in a shrill voice: "Isn't it just that I was born with a pair of God's hands? Do you still ask me to give these freaks more respect?"
The word "freak" was muted.
Schiller didn't know why they were arguing again. Seeing that the strong wind was about to stop, why didn't they go surfing quickly? Just to pose with a surfboard?
Stark was not convinced and wanted to compete again. Most people know that waves have a head and a tail. When a wave rolls over, one side rolls down first and the other rolls back. This makes it impossible to hold a surfing competition on the sea because the position cannot be determined.
So it is difficult for so many people to compete in surfing at the same time, but Stark insisted on competing, and others couldn't do anything about him. In the end, Peter looked at Strange and said, "Doctor, why don't you use magic to think of a way to make a few similar waves?"
Strange didn't even look at Stark.
At this time, the squirrel girl in the new warrior team spoke, "I can help you make waves, but you have to promise me that it will only be this time. I'm starving to death."
Schiller knew that Squirrel Girl's ability was similar to making her wish come true, and she was an invincible cartoon character, so he also advised: "After all, there are so many tourists here, it's not good for us to always occupy the middle, let's finish the competition and eat quickly."
Stark, Robert, Peter, Steve and others all went on the board.
I have been having trouble sleeping recently, is it because of stopping the medication?
