In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Stark Tower, Stark was standing in front of the table playing with some models.
Those models look like his steel suit, but they are different because it can be seen through the gaps in the armor that it has a structure inside and is not hollow like the suit.
Obviously, these things were not just created by Stark, because traces of technological iteration can be seen on them.
Looking from left to right, the model on the far left looks more like a steel suit. The basic structure is similar, but it is filled with internal parts.
The next one is a bit similar to the Iron Overlord, and then there are those with tentacles added. Then it becomes lighter and thinner towards the back, the structure becomes simpler and simpler, and the shape becomes more and more smooth.
Picking up the model on the far right with one hand, Stark looked at his recent achievements carefully. He took a deep breath and showed a trace of hesitation on his face, but in the end, he took out his mobile phone.
, called Peter and asked: "Peter, are you free now?"
"Oh, I was playing with Gwen at the party, what happened?"
"No, it's nothing..." Stark lowered his head and was about to hang up the phone, but Peter's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey! Guys, I have something to do and have to leave first. You can play first."
"
After saying that, Peter's voice came from the other side: "I'll be there right away, Mr. Stark, oh, by the way..."
Peter suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Jarvis!
Help me open that piece of glass on the south side of the building!
!I almost ran into it last time!
!”
It wasn't until Jarvis' beep came that Peter hung up the phone. Not long after, Peter wearing a Spider-Man suit came to the laboratory.
Seeing the models on the table, Peter immediately became excited. He walked up and said, "Wow, what is this? Why haven't I seen it in the laboratory? Is it a new suit?"
"Why do they have so many versions? Is it a new mechanical army? An exoskeleton for strengthening the Avengers? Or..."
"Stop." Stark yelled and had a headache. He looked at Peter and asked, "You are already a senior in high school. Have you chosen a college?"
"New York University." Peter shrugged and said, "Any further away and my uncle and aunt will be terribly sad."
"Besides, with you, Dr. Connors, Dr. Banner and Dr. Schiller, it doesn't seem to make any difference where I go to school." Peter said completely nonchalantly.
"Did you choose New York University just to take care of your uncle and aunt's emotions?" Stark turned to look at Peter and asked.
"Not entirely." Peter picked up a model and started playing with it. He said while playing with it: "I grew up in New York. Everything here is very familiar. My friends, classmates, teachers, and girlfriends are all here. If
I’m still a little reluctant to leave.”
"I thought you would be a little more aggressive." Stark also began to play with the model in his hand and said, "After all, many famous universities are also East Coast universities, not far from here."
Peter paused as if he remembered something, and then said: "About a month ago, I mentioned on the phone to Dr. Connors that we would go to Harvard's laboratory to do experiments with him."...
"On the phone, he mentioned that he and Dr. Banner had a fight over whether I should go to Harvard or MIT. They could both write me letters of recommendation, but they had different opinions."
"When Dr. Connors called me, Dr. Banner happened to be there. The two of them had an argument again, which was a little loud. My aunt was cooking in the kitchen next door. She heard it and then told my uncle.
.”
"What did they say? Are they very reluctant to leave you?"
"They were so happy. I have never seen Uncle Ben so happy. He never drank in the past because electrical work requires caution to ensure safety. But that night, he drank a whole bottle of champagne and got himself drunk.
Already."
"Aunt Mei didn't mind at all that he was drunk. She didn't even nag him. They said they would take me to my favorite restaurant when I was a child to celebrate that I was about to become a student at a prestigious school."
Stark pursed his lips, the expression on his face was somewhat moved, and he seemed to resonate with some of the emotions of Peter's uncle and aunt.
"But later, when I told them that I didn't plan to go, I only planned to go to New York University..." Peter sighed and said, "Their expressions were very complicated, not completely happy, nor completely angry."
"They want you to go to the best university, but they are reluctant to let you go. After learning that you have made this decision, they feel sorry for you, but they are happy to see you more often in the future." Stark concluded.
.
Peter nodded, put down the model, looked at Stark and said, "But some things are just like that. They can't be perfect, but it's good enough now."
Stark hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have made a decision. He put the model in his hand on the table, and then said to Peter: "I may be very busy in the next few days, and I will give full access to the building to everyone."
It's up to you. If you want to do any experiments, just go to the laboratory yourself."
"Well, okay, but why are you so busy?" Peter stared at Stark and said, "Is there going to be a new suit? Can I try it out?"
Stark said: "No, it's not my new suit, but a new friend, or...an old friend."
After Stark left, Peter's phone vibrated. After opening it, he found that a message had been sent from Stark's number, and it had a smiley face composed of symbols.
Peter had seen this smiling face, and he knew that it should have been sent by Jarvis. He was in the laboratory of the building, so he raised his head and shouted: "Jarvis, what's wrong?"
At this time, he looked down at the model on the table, then looked up at the ceiling, and suddenly realized something. He opened his mouth and said, "Wait, isn't this the body prepared for you? Oh my god.
, great, you are finally going to have a body!”
"Thanks."
Jarvis's calm voice sounded, but then he heard Peter say: "We can finally play games together! You should be able to help me adjust unlimited lives, right? This way Pikachu can't laugh at me and use up all my lives."
Already."
Jarvis said "didi" twice, seemingly speechless. Peter leaned on the experimental table and said happily: "It's long overdue. I've known you for so long and I haven't even shaken your hand. You and I
There is no difference between us, so of course we should also have a body..."...
Jarvis did not answer, but the lights in the room gradually dimmed. Peter had long discovered that the lights inside the Stark Tower revealed Jarvis's mood. At this time, the soft lights shrouded Peter's face like a curtain.
It was as if someone had put a piece of clothing around him.
Three days later, Schiller received a call from Strange. On the other end of the phone, Strange said angrily: "Come here quickly! Stark is crazy! He actually asked me..."
Schiller put down the phone and said to Black Dwarf, who was sitting opposite: "Sorry, today's treatment can only end early. I have something urgent and need to go there right away."
"It's okay, doctor." The tall black dwarf opposite said angrily.
Although he was very tall, looked a little funny sitting on that small chair, and had a ferocious face, his tone was very kind, even with some respect.
Schiller put away the medical records in front of him, then turned and left. Black Dwarf even stood up and walked him to the door. Schiller waved to him and left.
After Schiller left, Dark Star did not leave. Instead, he turned around and sat back in his seat, resting his elbows on the table and covering his face with his hands.
His dark face showed a painful expression, and he recalled in his mind Schiller's patient attitude when he gave him psychotherapy, and the ease with which many of his doubtful questions could be answered.
The parent star of the black dwarf is a planet on the edge of the dark quadrant. The dark quadrant is called the dark quadrant because there is no star in its prime and all stars are approaching the end of their lives.
There is not enough sunlight, but life can still be given birth to, but the form of life is rather special. The black dwarf was born on a veritable dark dwarf planet.
When Thanos came there, everyone there was driven to other planets to mine. Because they could not adapt to the climate and sunlight, more than half of the tens of millions of compatriots died.
In order for his tribe to survive, the strongest Black Dwarf swore allegiance to Thanos, so that Thanos could be merciful and distribute his tribe to less harsh places.
What makes Black Dwarf feel even more painful is that he is not truly loyal to Thanos. He always remembers that Thanos killed so many of his people, but there are some among his compatriots who are much more loyal than him, and have even been
Completely loyal to Thanos, becoming the whip in his hand to enslave their compatriots.
Thanos is very smart. He knows how to defeat a civilization without annihilating them, but also allowing them to use it for his own purposes. He divides their classes, divides them into groups, sets an example, and kills chickens to scare monkeys...
The civilization on the black dwarf's home star is a very closed civilization. It has never experienced such a catastrophe, so it is fragmented.
Black Dwarf felt very painful about this, but had no choice but to do anything until he came to Earth on a mission that might lead to death.
Psychotherapy from Schiller alleviated his pain. Schiller answered many questions for him. For example, why would those people loyal to Thanos and kill their compatriots? Why couldn't he do it? And why himself?
Will you feel pain for this?
But as these questions were answered, more questions arose. What should he do? How should he destroy the enemy and save his compatriots? How should he solve the deadlock and give his civilization a new lease of life?
He hasn't had time to ask these questions, or rather, he doesn't want to ask them, because he has no hope of getting answers.
In his opinion, Schiller is just a psychiatrist, a fragile human being, who is so different from the powerful and cruel Thanos that no one will connect them together.
Black Dwarf took a deep breath and stood up. Just before turning around and leaving, he caught a glimpse of another book under the medical record that Schiller had not taken away, with a corner exposed at this time.
Black Dwarf was a little curious. He stretched out his hand, but hesitated, feeling that he shouldn't touch the doctor's things casually.
But he thought that he would never damage it if he was just looking at it, so he carefully picked up the medical record and put it aside.
At this time, he discovered that the cover of the book under the medical records was blank without any text.
Black Dwarf opened the cover with his fingers curiously. The first sentence on the first page inside said:
