In the sky above New York, a faint blue space fluctuation suddenly appeared and spread rapidly.
A long black-red crack in the sky, tens of thousands of meters long, flashed away.
New York In the city, a few citizens who were lucky enough to capture this scene were stunned for a moment and then excitedly looked through the shooting equipment, wanting to appreciate this amazing picture.
But as a silver wave flashed across their storage device...
'Boom! Boom! Boom!'
Their filming equipment exploded instantly.
"Ah!!!"
These lucky ones screamed, threw away their beloved mobile phones or cameras in a hurry, and backed away.
Fortunately, the power of the explosion was limited and only destroyed the filming equipment, but their Master were all safe and sound.
But Master of these phones or cameras doesn't think so!
They think that what they have lost is not only a mobile phone or a camera, but also a major life opportunity that can make them famous overnight and turn them into masters!
So these lucky ones looked as if their parents had died, and they held their heads and started to cry in pain.
On the other side, the attacker was destroyed with one blow. The Starship ship 'Glory' turned its bow again, accelerated out of the earth's atmosphere in an instant, and flew into outer space.
Tony Stark looked at the cloudless sky, stretched out leisurely, and sent out a not too enthusiastic invitation to Strucker, Kaecilius and others.
"Exploration Team has finally set off. Everyone, why don't you come and have a drink to celebrate?"
Strucker smiled and refused.
"Sorry, Mr. Tony Stark, I still have a lot of things to deal with. Let's wait another day."
The transparent Adele, Thomas and others all rejected High Priestess, so how could they have the guts to stay and miss work?
They waved their hands one after another, opened the Spatial Portal one after another, and returned to their respective posts.
Kaecilius also shook his head and refused. These bold attackers were destroyed, but there were still some remnants behind them. He needed to rush back to Kamar-Taj to deal with the few bugs that were discovered...
Soon, only Tony was left on the roof of the huge building.
"Well, I just saved my good wine."
Tony shrugged his shoulders, turned around and stepped into Spatial Portal, which opened silently, and returned to the laboratory on the thirteenth floor underground.
In the laboratory, as soon as Tony appeared, Pepper, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stood up.
"Tony..."
Tony nodded to her and smiled, "Exploration Team left."
Pepper breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "That's good."
She complained angrily, "Next time you do something like this again, you'd better choose a sparsely populated place! There are tens of thousands of employees working in the Stark Headquarters building. Once an accident occurs, it will be a huge tragedy for tens of thousands of families!"
Tony shrugged and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everything is under our control!"
Pepper was not at the scene, and the entire Stark Headquarters building was also covered by the shielding circle in advance. Naturally, he did not know about the battle that had just occurred above the building.
Seeing that the things that had been blocking her mind were finally over, she was ready to leave to handle the group's affairs.
"I'm going to deal with the group's affairs first. Remember to go home tonight. Wanda has a holiday today. If you don't go back, she will be unhappy..."
Tony raised his eyebrows and asked, "Holiday? Today doesn't seem to be the weekend, right?!"
Pepper said angrily, "Tony, if you pay more attention to Wanda and Pietro, you should know that they have just finished participating in the competition and the school gave them three days of vacation."
"Ah, this..." Tony touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "Pepper, you know, I've been too busy during this time..."
Seeing Pepper's still displeased expression, he hurriedly raised his hand and assured, "OK! OK! I promise you that I will pay more attention to the situation of Wanda and Pietro in the future!"
Pepper rolled his eyes and scoffed at Tony's guarantee.
"Come on, Mr. Tony Stark. In this regard, your oath is like a piece of paper to wipe your butt..."
Tony The corners of his mouth twitched, and he defended in a low voice without confidence. "Yeah, it's not as bad as you said."
After Pepper heard this, he simply replied, "Haha~"
Then he left a cool figure behind and quickly left the laboratory.
"Hey, I..." Tony stretched out his 'Erkang' hand towards Pepper who was leaving, but looking at Pepper who turned the corner and left without looking back, he could only scratch his head and reveal a wry smile.
He looked back at the silver armor lying on the experimental table not far away, and felt a trace of hesitation.
"Forget it, there's no rush..."
I originally planned to continue to retreat and make this Tony with Mark '51' type enchanted with Runic Armor, but finally I chose to give up.
He opened a Crimson Portal seal and walked in.
California, Stark Seaside Villa.
A 1vs1 basketball game is taking place on the spacious outdoor basketball court.
Howard Stark was wearing shorts, and he and Pietro, who had grown a lot taller, were competing around a basketball.
Old Howard's body was specially strengthened by Richard when he was resurrected, so although he looked like a shabby Old Man who was over seventy years old, his muscles and bones were much stronger than those of a normal middle-aged man.
Not to mention Pietro, even if the speed ability in his body is not activated, his own reaction and flexibility are far beyond ordinary people!
For a time, the grandfather and grandson were evenly matched.
At this time, the villa door opened automatically, and Maria Stark came out carrying a fruit tray.
She smiled and shouted to the two of them, "Okay, Howard, little Pietro, spare that poor basketball and come and taste the fresh fruit that was just delivered."
On the basketball court, old Howard opened his hands, stopped in front of Pietro, and said to him, "Little Pietro, Grandma Maria are calling us, why don't we take a timeout at halftime?"
Little Pietro was dribbling the ball skillfully with his hips and responded with a smile, "Okay, grandpa, then finish the fruit before continuing."
After that, he stopped dribbling, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and held the ball in front of his chest.
A flash of light flashed across old Howard's eyes in an instant.
He thought to himself, what a great opportunity!
The next second, old Howard suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Pietro, grabbing the basketball from bottom to top with his right hand quickly and covertly.
Unexpectedly, Pietro grinned, and his original ball-joining action changed instantly!
He suddenly pulled the ball back behind him and slammed his right foot on the ground.
While Pietro turned sideways, he used the reaction force of his step on the ground like a gust of wind to pass over the old Howard who was out of position defensively due to the ball.
Old Howard felt his eyes blurred, and Pietro's figure instantly disappeared from his sight.
He exclaimed, "No!"
Turn around immediately and try to catch up!
But as soon as he lifted his steps, old Howard stopped again.
He stood there with his hands on his hips, watching Pietro rise from the ground and directly perform a violent and handsome one-handed tomahawk dunk.
Old Howard smiled and shook his head, "This kid is getting more and more cunning."
Pietro After completing the dunk action, he raised his hand to catch the falling basketball and showed off with a smile, "Grandpa, the score is now 10:8, I won another round."
Old Howard smiled and gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Well done, you are worthy of being the newly promoted Mr. United States High School Basketball."
Pietro, who was praised, smiled and scratched the back of his head.
Old Howard walked over, hugged his shoulders, and laughed and said, "Let's go, dear Mr. Basketball. If you stay here, our Grandma Maria will get angry."
When the two of them walked up to him, Maria Stark said with a smile, "Don't listen to this bad old man's nonsense, Grandma Maria can't bear to be angry with our handsome and well-behaved little Pietro."
Old Howard covered his chest with a heartbroken expression. "Oh no! Maria How could you say that to me."
"Oops Old Man?! Listening to these sharp words like Blade, I feel like my heart has been stabbed. It hurts so much!"
Maria rolled her eyes at her funny husband, turned around and walked into the villa first.
Pietro, dumbfounded, pulled old Howard, who wanted to continue performing, and dragged him towards the house.
"Stop talking, grandpa. If you keep talking, Grandma Maria will really get angry!"
"Okay, okay~" Old Howard stopped acting and followed him into the house.
In the spacious living room, Wanda, who has transformed into a mature girl, is sitting on the sofa with a single ponytail, holding a piece of bright red watermelon and eating it bite by bite.
After seeing Maria and the others coming in, she got up and walked over to greet them.
"Grandma Maria, let me get the plate for you."
Wanda skillfully took the fruit plate from Maria's hand, turned around and placed it on the coffee table.
Then, she turned around and saw Pietro, who was covered in sweat. She couldn't help but wrinkled her little nose and said, "Pietro, you just finished playing basketball and are covered in stinky sweat. Go take a shower first and then come over to eat fruit!"
Pietro picked up the basketball in dissatisfaction and retorted, "Hey, Wanda! I feel like you are targeting me on purpose!"
" Grandpa Howard is also sweating. Why don't you criticize him?"
Then, he said with a sudden look on his face, "Oh! I know!"
"You are envious of Envy me!"
"Haha, I won the mvp in this California high school basketball game, but you only won the silver medal in the math competition..."
Wanda puffed up his face and said angrily, "Isn't he just an mvp? What's so great about it?"
"Also, let me say it again, it's not that I didn't want to win the gold medal in the math competition, but I didn't expect that girl named Gwen Stacy to answer all the questions correctly!"
Speaking of this, she expressed regret. "If I had known better, I wouldn't have deliberately answered that question wrong during the competition."
Pietro spread his hands and said in disbelief, "Ha, you answered wrong on purpose? Who would answer the question wrong on purpose in such an important competition?"
Immediately, he pretended to be a serious and good brother and criticized. "Wanda, failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that you cannot face failure and keep looking for reasons for your failure."
Wanda rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Mind yourself, okay... brother... brother!"
At this time, old Howard had quietly left Pietro, came to the sofa, and sat down with his wife Maria.
The old couple smiled and enjoyed the almost daily bickering scene between brother and sister Wanda and Pietro.
Suddenly, there was a slight spatial fluctuation in the living room.
Wanda was the first to sense this fluctuation. He directly raised his hand to stop Pietro's verbal counterattack and turned his head to stare at the place where the spatial fluctuation appeared.
When old Howard saw this, he immediately stood up and stood in front of Maria.
'Zi, Zhila~'
A Crimson Portal slowly opened.
Wanda finally let down his guard after seeing the familiar Crimson Mana.
Old Howard also breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the sofa.
Maria turned his head and looked at him with infinite affection, then reached out and grasped old Howard's right hand.
Old Howard patted her hand and smiled.
At this time, Tony walked out of the crimson Portal. When he looked up, he saw four pairs of eyes staring at him.
He blinked a little confusedly at first.
Then he hurriedly lowered his head and checked his clothes. After making sure that there was no mistake in unzipping the front door, he asked with a puzzled face, "I said, why are you looking at me like this?!"
"Hmph~" Wanda snorted coldly and turned away, not wanting Tony to see the happiness on his face.
Pietro stood on tiptoes, as if he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, nothing came out.
But old Howard put on a serious face and said sarcastically, "Look who's back?! Isn't this Iron Man we are busy saving the world?!"
"Why, all the super criminals on the earth have been arrested? Have you finally remembered that you still have a family?!"
Tony raised an eyebrow and looked at his father.
He would not spoil the old Howard, so he sprayed 'Venom' directly on the ground.
"Mr. Howard Stark, the Master of this villa seems to be registered as Tony Stark..."
"As a temporary guest, when are you going to pay the rent?"
Old Howard suddenly turned dark.
"You bastard, you actually asked me for rent?!"
"I am your father, the founder of Stark Industries!"
Tony shrugged and continued, "Aha, of course, who doesn't know that Howard Stark is the founder of Stark Industries!"
"But so what? The current chairman of Stark Industries is named Tony Stark!"
"You...!" Old Howard suddenly became furious.
He kept a straight face and wanted to continue to fight back more fiercely.
But Maria couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed old Howard's shoulders, raised her voice and shouted, "That's enough for you two!"
Tony curled his lips and chose to shut up.
Old Howard wanted to open his mouth to continue speaking angrily, but was blocked by Maria and also turned off.
Maria held his forehead with a headache and said, "Can't you two, father and son, communicate well?"
"Why do we always quarrel every time we meet!"
Tony folded his hands on his chest and said, "It has nothing to do with me, every time it is Mr. Howard who starts the war first."
Old Howard scratched his head and said, "I am your father, can't I just say a few words to you?"
When Maria saw this, in order to prevent the two from arguing again, he had to suppress it again.
"Okay! Just stop saying a few words!"
