Peter sighed and deduced the most important answer, "You used Extremis Virus on her, right?"
Maya's body shook violently, and he lowered his head in despair. In the original movie line, Maya worked for Killian in order to prove himself. But in the current world, Riri was born prematurely and was on the verge of death. In order to save her daughter's life, Maya risked her life by injecting the unfinished Extremis Virus. This also meant that Riri's body was like a time bomb that could explode at any time.
"That's why you came to me..." Tony finally understood, looking at the girl who had the same blood as him, "Because... because she is heading towards death?!"
Riri broke away from Maya's hand. "Wait a minute! What are you talking about?! Mom! Didn't you say we are just here to visit old friends?!"
"Riri... He can save you." Maya covered his face and cried. "Save me? Save my fever? I told you it was just a cold!" Riri shouted anxiously.
Peter walked forward and patted the little girl's shoulder gently. The skin temperature radiating from the girl's body was frighteningly high, and her collar was already soaked with sweat.
"I'm afraid it's not a cold, little one." Peter said softly.
Tony turned around suddenly. "JARVIS! Prepare the laboratory! Activate all the medical equipment!" He looked at Maya, "Give me her case and all genetic data!"
Maya quickly took out a flash drive and handed it over. "It's all here!"
Tony took the plate and looked at Maya deeply. "Back then... why didn't you tell me?"
Maya looked directly into his eyes. "Tell you? Did you care back then?!"
"I care!" Tony said angrily, "Those are my flesh and blood!"
"Stop pretending! Did you think about this when you put on your pants and left?!"
"It was just a one-night stand, and you knew it at the time!" Tony retorted, "Don't confuse this with you hiding it from me and not telling me that you have a daughter!"
"That's enough!" Peter roared like thunder, interrupting the endless quarrel.
The living room instantly became quiet. Peter looked at the two worried parents and said coldly, "You two have to settle the score until the child survives! Tony, save people! Do you understand?!"
Tony looked at Riri who was at a loss, suppressed his anger, and nodded. "Follow me."
The group of people quickly arrived at the underground laboratory. It must be said that the efficiency of Stark was extremely amazing. All the suits flew out of the laboratory and a tight three-dimensional defense line was built around the mansion. In front of the holographic analyzer, Tony and Maya had begun to frantically tap on the keyboard, looking for ways to stabilize Extremis Virus based on Riri's genetic map.
As the first round of scanning was completed, the laboratory suddenly became quiet. Riri looked at Tony, then looked at his mother, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Mom... is he really my father?"
Maya was silent for a moment and nodded lightly. "Yes, Riri, he is." Almost at the same time, JARVIS also completed the blood analysis. "Sir, the results of the genetic test have been confirmed. Riri Williams is indeed your biological daughter."
Tony stared blankly at the results on the holographic screen, his voice a little astringent. "She is my daughter... For twelve years, I didn't know she existed at all."
"It's not your fault, you didn't know anything about it." Pepper said softly.
Riri suddenly opened his eyes after a brief moment of astonishment. "This is so cool! Have you really installed a reactor on your chest? Do you think wormholes can be artificially created? Also, why is your home's security system so easy to crack? By the way, will I also be able to have my own suit in the future?" Tony's originally stiff expression finally relaxed a little.
He turned to look at Maya: "Wait, you actually told her that wormholes don't exist?"
Maya rolled his eyes helplessly. "Here we go, it starts again."
Pepper and Peter stood at the back, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing. Pepper stared blankly at Tony and Maya in front of them, who were cooperating with each other tacitly, with a trace of confusion and loss in their eyes.
Peter could feel the pain in the heart of Iron Man's girlfriend - she felt like an outsider. Peter walked over and gently shook Pepper's hand. "Ms. Potts, he still loves you, don't doubt it."
Pepper was stunned for a moment, looked at the young man wearing a mask in front of him, and laughed to himself, "Thank you, Spider-Man... I'm just not ready to accept it all."
On the other side, Riri was lying on the diagnostic table with sensors all over his body. "Little guy, do you want some juice?" Peter walked over and joked.
Riri rolled his eyes. "Come on, are you going to call me dwarf next and tell me about the good old days?"
Peter was happy: "Weren't you still a fan of mine just now?" "You are still a fan now!" Riri grinned, and then looked at Tony, "My mother always said that my father was a terrible person... but he is Iron Man! I don't understand why she said that."
"He was indeed not good before." Peter sat next to her, "But he has been trying to change. We can't evaluate a person based on his past alone, but what he has done now. He fought hard to save the world, and now, he will try his best to save you."
"I don't blame him for not coming to see me before." Riri said softly, "He didn't even know I was there, how can I blame him?" Riri looked at Tony's busy back and asked in a low voice, "Can he really save me?"
"Believe him, and believe your mother." Peter pointed over there, "But I think your mother needs some professional help now, Tony is kicking the machine again."
Maya understood and walked over to help Tony debug the gene sequencer. The two of them cooperated seamlessly, and even Pepper took the initiative to help sort out the data.
The alarm suddenly rang through the laboratory! On the holographic screen, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was responsible for guarding the prisoners outside the mansion gate, suddenly fell into chaos. A Extremis Soldier, who had just been captured, suddenly broke free from his restraints, his body glowed with hot golden-red light, and he opened his mouth to spit out flames, forcing several nearby agents to retreat!
"Wow!" Riri exclaimed and looked at Maya, "Mom! Can I breathe fire too?!"
"Not yet!" Maya shouted immediately. The rampaging Extremis Soldier, covered in hot golden-red light, rushed straight towards the gate of the mansion!
"I'll handle it." Peter stood up immediately, "JARVIS, give me some fire support!"
