Chapter 18: The Actors Are In Place
On the top floor of Stark Tower in Manhattan, New York, Tony and Pepper stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, admiring the beautiful scenery outside. As for Roddy and Jiang Jiu, they had already left when night came. After all, they were like high-power light bulbs.
, is really not a good thing, not to mention that Jiang Jiu still wants to watch a good show tonight.
"Mr. Jiang Jiu is so interesting, you should have introduced him to me earlier." Pepper said with a smile.
"He is a busy man. I just tried to invite him this time, but I didn't expect he would agree." Tony shrugged and said.
"This is not like what the famous Tony Stark said." Pepper looked at her lover in surprise and said, "When did you become so unsure of yourself?"
"Well, this is not a question of confidence or lack of confidence. Well, actually I have thought about telling you this before." Tony thought about it and felt that since Jiang Jiu did not ask for absolute confidentiality, there was no need to hide it from his lover.
So he asked Pepper to pour two glasses of wine, then sat on the ground with his back against the floor-to-ceiling windows. Tony introduced to Pepper in detail the tavern and the guests inside.
"You mean that tavern is connected to other worlds?" Pepper was very surprised, but she also knew that Tony Stark did not bother to tell lies to deceive him, but that was why she was very surprised.
"Yes, there are all kinds of worlds, and some of them are even related to the movies we have watched. You can imagine seeing Master Yoda in Star Wars, or the natural hunters in Aliens. These can all be
You can see it in the tavern." Tony explained and said: "So actually Jiang Jiu can be regarded as a guide for me, introducing me to a strange world, and also letting me know that I am not the smartest one.
.”
"I think I'd better drink this glass of wine first to calm down my shock." Pepper drank all the wine in the glass in one go and burped at the same time.
"The bottle of wine you just drank was brewed by Dionysus, the god of wine in Greek mythology. I saw this in a tavern last time. It was given to the boss by Zeus." Tony shook the wine glass in his hand.
, looked at the other party and said with a smile: "Actually, what Boss Jiang Jiu is best at is all kinds of bartending. Those people from other worlds are just add-ons."
"So, I just drank the wine brewed by Dionysus?" Pepper looked at the wine glass in his hand blankly, burped again, and murmured: "It doesn't seem to be anything special except that it tastes good.
"
Tony looked at the other person's appearance and knew that Pepper was drunk after just one glass of wine. Although he found it funny, he suddenly felt that Pepper was particularly beautiful like this, which made him lick his lips involuntarily, and he was just about to take advantage of the good atmosphere to go deeper.
I tried to cultivate a relationship, but it was destroyed by Jarvis.
"Sir, there is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent named Phil Coulson looking for you below." After all, Jarvis is not an artificial intelligence and does not understand the atmosphere at all.
"Tell him I'm not here." Tony said angrily.
"I'm afraid my system may not be able to prevent him from coming in, sir." Jarvis hesitated and said.
At this time, Pepper had also woken up a little. Looking at Tony who was so close, she didn't know what he meant. Her face felt a little feverish. She immediately pushed Tony away and said that Faile must have something important to find.
he.
"Why did you call him Mayfair? Are you familiar with him?" Tony looked at his lover with some taste.
"He saved me last time." Pepper rolled her eyes beautifully, but felt very happy as she said.
At this time, Tony's cell phone started ringing again, and the note on it was "Good Old Guy", which was the nickname Tony gave to Phil Coulson, but at this time, Tony really didn't want to have anything to do with SHIELD. Originally,
I don’t have a good impression of SHIELD. Last time, I actually said that he was unqualified. I actually wanted to separate Iron Man and Tony Stark. I said that Iron Man was qualified and Tony Stark had a high degree of narcissism. Then
Don’t pass!!!
"What you are seeing now is the holographic image of Tony Stark. If anything happens..." Tony looked at the ringing mobile phone and answered what the mechanic said, trying to fool him.
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Phil Coulson had already walked out of the elevator.
"Sir, they rewrote my program." Jarvis' explanation came next, making Tony's face darken.
"Are you, SHIELD, so arrogant that you break into people's homes?" Tony looked at the good old Phil Coulson expressionlessly.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Stark, because this incident is related to the safety of the entire world." The good old man is worthy of being a gold medal agent. He is very proficient in the trick of smiling and selling misery, and then directly equated the whole world with the United States.
.
"The earth is really small enough." Tony rolled his eyes and said, "What does it matter to me if the world is in danger? Didn't you say last time that I was selfish and undisciplined, so there was no need for me to join S.H.I.E.L.D.
?”
"This time things are a little special, please take a look at these first." Phil Coulson was very patient, and as thick-skinned as a city wall. He didn't care about Tony's words at all, and smiled and held up a notebook the size of his hand.
The electronic equipment was handed over.
"Well, I don't really like people handing things to me." Tony shrugged and said with some disgust.
"Yes, he doesn't like it, but I like it very much." Pepper's senses about Mayfair are pretty good, so he took the instrument from the other person's hand with a smile, put it into Tony's hand, and said with a smile: "I
I think if there wasn't something urgent, he wouldn't risk offending you to crack Jarvis's security system."
"We should have had a good night tonight instead of facing these so-called crises." Tony plugged the instrument in his hand into his home system.
"Okay, don't be willful. I will fly to Washington tomorrow, but I don't have time to accompany you." Pepper gave a charming sideways glance, and finally leaned into Tony's ear and whispered: "Of course, if this time
The matter is over, I can...”
Tony was a little helpless, but he just lost his temper. After all, the beautiful atmosphere just now was ruined by this guy. However, since Phil Coulson said it was a global crisis, he felt that he still had to watch
Just watch, well, that's what Tony thought. It's definitely not because of what Pepper just put next to his ear and said something. It's definitely not!
"The Cosmic Cube, it seems you have really encountered a problem." Tony looked at some information related to the Cosmic Cube, Hydra and a tavern in SHIELD's information, shrugged and said: "It seems tonight
