Saving Private Tony (2)

Aeo thought a lot. He had also considered just letting things happen naturally, waiting until Tony was completely desperate and had a deeper realization before S.H.I.E.L.D. stepped in to remind him that old Stark, his father Howard Stark, had actually known about a new element for a long time. This element was safe and effective, fully capable of replacing palladium and other radioactive elements on the periodic table! This would truly give birth to the Iron Man we all know!

But after a rapid calculation in his mind, Aeo decided not to follow the so-called plot! After all, who the hell knew if old Howard had really discovered this element and left a reminder for Tony? This was the real world. What if the Howard here hadn't discovered the new element? Wouldn't Tony be dead for sure?

Furthermore, Aeo's character and actions meant that his cooperation with S.H.I.E.L.D. could only be temporary, not "intimate and seamless" forever. Therefore, for the sake of the future, Aeo decided not to give S.H.I.E.L.D. the opportunity to owe him such a massive favor!

He refused to believe that without this series of events, Iron Man would still be as close and mutually beneficial with S.H.I.E.L.D. as he knew from his past life!

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but Aeo showed none of them on his face. He simply smiled and said, "For a cosmic civilization, creating something to replace palladium isn't difficult..."

Tony, overjoyed, asked, "You're serious? Wait, you said... create?" As expected of an elite on Earth, after confirming a way out, Stark's brilliant intellect returned.

"A new element not on the periodic table?"

"Tony, do you know how big this universe is?" The former bumpkin, now heir to a super civilization, smiled. "You haven't even fully figured out the solar system, let alone the entire Milky Way..."

Aeo stood up, his gray eyes shining with profound brilliance under the sun. "An element you haven't discovered yet, is that so strange? Tony Stark."

Iron Man: "..."

Aeo ignored him and began to get dressed. At the same time, he advised, "Alright, Stark, if you don't want to get beaten, I suggest you get ready..."

"Ready for what?" Stark asked foolishly.

Aeo sighed and zipped up his jacket. "Bruce is back! Are you sure you want to keep standing there?"

He started putting on his shoes.

"Ah? Oh!" Stark finally reacted, his eyes involuntarily looking towards the door.

As expected, the next moment, Bruce kicked the door open furiously, "Tony, I'm going to kill you!"

Covering his helmet, Iron Man said decisively, "Are you ready?"

Aeo chuckled.

"Let's go!" Picking up the young man, Iron Man soared into the sky.

Aeo, through the communicator in his ear, said to the Bat, "Bruce, Tony and I have something to do. We'll be staying at his place for the next few days. Contact me if anything comes up!"

Batman, who had rushed to the balcony, shouted, "Come back, you two bitches!"

Damn, it seems Tony really angered Batman. Bruce Wayne, who always appeared cultured and refined, actually cursed today. Tsk tsk.

Under the sun, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They flew all the way back to Stark's home in California. Don't ask why the young man didn't fly himself. He was still in stealth mode, and the public didn't know about his existence. Unlike other superheroes, he didn't have to juggle his life and superhero work. There was no need for him to expose himself just to help Iron Man. Therefore, the young man simply lay on Iron Man's back, leisurely enjoying the ride all the way to California, the pearl of the West Pacific coast.

Bang! Iron Man landed heavily at his home on Malibu coast. "We're here, J.A.R.V.I.S., prepare the tools for us. I need to create a new element."

"Hey, what do you want to drink?" Perhaps knowing his life was saved, Stark's playboy nature returned.

"I have whiskey, champagne, vodka, rum, brandy, gin, sherry... Oh, and I can make cocktails too. How about it, want to try one?"

"..."

"None of them are suitable? Oh, I forgot, you shouldn't be drinking age yet..." Tony Stark, whose mouth was as sharp as Deadpool's and Spider-Man's.

"How about milk?"

"...Stark." Aeo finally spoke.

"What?"

"Sometimes I wonder..." Aeo gritted his teeth. "Why didn't I punch you to death that day! So I wouldn't have to keep listening to you, this chatterbox and bitch! Shut up, if you say one more word, I won't help you create the new element!"

"OKOK!" Stark, who had been about to say more, quickly raised his hands. He paused. "Your command is my guarantee!"

"..."

Aeo sighed. "Forget it, I don't care about you anymore." He glanced at Iron Man and frowned. "Take off the armor and let me check how poisoned you are."

"Does this need checking?" Perhaps Aeo's gentle attitude made him feel less convincing, so Stark started rambling again. "I heard you have X-ray vision. You've probably already scanned me inside and out... I'll take it off, I'll take it off!"

Aeo, who almost punched him, said, "Alright, get lost. Let me see what materials are needed. Eiffel..."

The young man called out to the Smart Terminal in his secret base in Gotham City. "The Science and Technology Institute discovered an element to enhance the arc reactor. What's the manufacturing process? What's needed? Let me see the list!"

Before the curious Iron Man could ask, J.A.R.V.I.S. reported, "Sir, a file has been received from Gotham City, sent by Mr. Aeo Zod. Do you wish to receive it?"

Stark then looked at the young man in surprise. "How did you do that? Receive it!"

Aeo pointed to the earring in his ear and walked to the application files and data spread out by J.A.R.V.I.S. He frowned and read for a while.

"Alright, it seems Earth can indeed manufacture the UnK (Kryptonian term) element... Tony, follow this formula and materials, and you'll naturally be able to create an element that can replace palladium." Aeo looked at him.

Stark stared obsessively at the epoch-making knowledge (for Earth). "What a beautiful picture, this is an epoch-making... J.A.R.V.I.S., analyze it. Can this truly create a new element?"

After a short calculation, the intelligent computer J.A.R.V.I.S. also spoke excitedly, if it understood excitement.

"Sir, according to the data, we are fully capable of creating a new element that has never been discovered before! Sir, I must say."

It said to Aeo.

"You are truly an outstanding scientist, sir."
