As social animals, human beings always have a tendency to converge. Whatever environment they are in a group, they will inevitably be changed by this environment. Now Stark understands this deeply.
Peter has a sweet relationship with his childhood sweetheart Gwen every day. After Gwen officially confirmed her relationship with Peter some time ago, the two of them started dating at a rate of two or three times a week.
Spider-Man, who has not yet progressed to the stage of meeting his father-in-law, has been bubbling with happiness recently. Every day, he can hear him talking excitedly about what small gifts he received from his girlfriend, or which restaurant he went to eat.
The food is particularly delicious.
Stark had to admit that even if the details Peter told were childish, the restaurant they went to for a date was a roadside stall that a rich man like Stark would never go to, but every time he heard Peter's description, Stark was filled with excitement.
I can fully feel his happiness.
In addition to Peter, the story of Schiller and his wife became more and more detailed and became more and more poignant after being shared by many people through the mouth of the clever little Scranch.
Originally, it was just information Coulson got during his routine investigation of Strange, but how could he keep such big gossip in his heart alone? The next day, Natasha and Nick learned from Coulson.
I heard a very real and detailed version.
Strange's few words were enriched into a story by the genius agent Coulson, and when the story reached the ears of Natasha and Nick, Natasha was a woman, and she was interested in this kind of romantic love.
The story is of great interest, and the uniquely female perceptual brain allows her to add more romantic details of her own to this story, making it more real.
As for Nick, he is a skeptic. Knowing this fact, he will definitely investigate.
During this investigation, he really found some clues.
He found out that the medical fees paid to Schiller by SHIELD and Stark originally only stayed in an American account of Schiller's, but just recently, this large amount of money was transferred by him to an international bank in Switzerland.
In the account, Nick could not check the subsequent whereabouts of the money. He guessed that the money might have been used by Schiller to maintain his wife's life.
Some time ago, Schiller told everyone that he would be away for a while. In fact, at that time, Nick wanted to track his whereabouts, but the SHIELD agents cast a net like a net to catch fish, and still couldn't find anything.
Seeing his traces, Nick felt that Schiller might have used magical powers to go to his wife.
Nick has always believed that in order to be a good agent, in addition to rigorous logical thinking, you must also have the ability to associate and emanate. Many times, inadvertent inspiration may bring unexpected changes to actions.
Therefore, when these multiple factors were added up, Nick was certain that the matter was almost certain.
He believed that Schiller's wife might not be an American, because he could not find such a missing woman in the files. Schiller might have met her during his study tour. After they fell in love and got married, this lady might have
Suffering from a disease that is temporarily incurable but will continue to worsen. Combined with the cryogenic technology that Schiller mentioned to Strange before, Nick speculated that Schiller is likely to have mastered a method that can freeze people permanently.
He used technology to seal his wife's condition and prevent her condition from worsening, and has been looking for treatment methods.
Nick saw more than just poignant love from this story. He had always wanted to win Schiller over to SHIELD and work for them. If SHIELD could do something about treating his wife,
With success, Nick believes that soon, S.H.I.E.L.D. will have another powerful arm.
Therefore, Nick also asked for information from various neurological experts to see who was qualified to solve this problem.
If Schiller heard Nick's voice and knew the story he imagined, he would definitely applaud the king of agents. Isn't this the love story of Victor Freeze and his wife?
The story of Mr. Freeze is very good, and it will be mine in the next second.
Later, when this story reached Stark's ears, he naturally thought that Nick must have conclusive evidence, so he also believed that Schiller had indeed been trying to find a cure for many years because of his wife.
This fact is quite shocking to Stark. After all, during the years when he was growing up, most of the people he met were rotten people who were similar to his father in spending time and drinking.
The more fatal blow came from Captain America Steve.
A few days ago, Stark discovered that Steve had stopped running in the morning, so he asked Schiller what was wrong. Schiller said that Steve had been in a bad mood recently.
Stark was happy, Captain America was in a bad mood, and Iron Man was in a good mood.
When Steve came back, Stark wanted to laugh at him severely, but Steve looked very haggard at that time, Schiller also looked serious and sad, and Peter basically didn't dare to express his anger.
In these days without Pepper, Stark wandered around, and he finally became able to read the air a little bit. Seeing everyone like this, he suppressed all his words.
Afterwards, he went to Schiller to ask Steve what happened, but Schiller just shook his head and asked him to ask Steve.
How could Iron Man take the initiative to ask Captain America?
However, Stark's excessive curiosity eventually led him to find Steve.
Then he learned from Steve's mouth the romantic love story between him and Peggy that spanned a century.
A weak and helpless recruit who just entered the military camp met a heroic female officer who cared about him in every possible way. After the recruit became the famous Captain America, they went through life and death together and became each other's perfect soul mates.
, even though a century has passed, Captain America is still determined that only Peggy is his perfect dance partner.
But the ending of this romantic story was lamentable. A few days ago, Steve saw Paige, who was lying in the hospital bed and was aging, and learned from the doctor that she might not die soon.
He saw the photo of him that Peggy kept. It was not the strong Captain America after being injected with the serum, but the cowardly and cowardly Steve who had just entered the boot camp and was bullied everywhere. After being transformed into Captain America,
It had been a long time since Steve cried so hard that he almost passed out.
He was really about to collapse. He even rushed to Nick's office irrationally and asked him if there was any special serum that could keep Paige alive.
But unfortunately, in the end, Steve could only accept this ending with great pain and helplessness.
This story shocked Stark even more, because according to Steve, his father Howard was a participant in the whole story, and he and Peggy were once friends.
This made Stark start to think, is he a little too different?
When it comes to women, Stark certainly has no shortage of them, whether they are young magazine models, party girls or Hollywood female stars, Stark changes one every day, sometimes even several a day.
But when it comes to falling in love, speaking of true love, Stark thought about it and found that his head was empty.
Ever since he was a child, he has never had any romantic experience that could resonate with his friends in the same way.
First love? It seems to have some impression. Stark tried hard to think about it, but he still had to admit that he had almost forgotten it.
Peter and Gwen are together, Schiller and his wife are separated, and Captain America and Peggy are still alive.
And Stark, surrounded by this group of people, couldn't help but start to use his genius brain to think hard, why is he different?
"Pepper has been looking at me a little strange lately." In the SHIELD cafeteria, Stark, Schiller and Peter sat at the same table to eat. After Schiller threw Stark out, Pepper could only foster him.
Stark was very reluctant to join SHIELD, but if he didn't go, he would have to sleep on the street.
"Strange? Strange in what way?"
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. The look in her eyes, I can't tell, is a little worried, a little relieved, but also a little sympathetic."
"My profession should really be left to you. Can you see so many things in your eyes?"
Stark waved his hand perfunctorily and said: "Please, I've met women who don't have a thousand or even eight hundred. What they are thinking can be seen in their eyes. Tell me, what happened to Pepper?"
"It depends on what's happened to you recently. What's happened to you recently?"
"What's wrong with me? I'm in great shape."
Schiller put down the fork in his hand, snapped his fingers, and said, "Jarvis, can you analyze the differences in your master's behavior recently?"
Jarvis beeped twice, and Stark rested his face on his hands, waiting for his smart butler to answer.
"According to analysis, you have turned down 18 invitations from the opposite sex within a week. This is the only thing that is different from your usual behavior pattern..."
In an instant, Stark saw an expression on Schiller's face that was almost exactly the same as Pepper's.
"Damn, I'm not..."
"You don't need to explain, well...if you have figured it out, then congratulations to you, but if you are unable to do what you want..."
Schiller shrugged and said: "...Then I can only say that I deserve it."
Schiller knows that in the comics, this guy is a super stallion, not to mention his first love Meredith who was beaten with a stick, and Bane, Gamora, Captain Marvel, Wasp, and Spider-Woman with evil intentions.
She-Hulk always falls asleep after flirting and runs away after sleeping.
"I'm not..." Stark put down the cutlery in his hands and put his hands on the table and said, "I don't think they have anything good..."
"Then who talked about a beautiful woman on a yacht in the first place?"
"Okay." Stark said like a deflated ball: "I have never been in a decent relationship. You always mention love, love, and romantic stories in my ears."
"I originally thought they were all, sexy, charming, short-lived and passionate. What's wrong with them?"
"But Peter actually said yesterday that his girlfriend would like to hear him talk about how he built those machines, and the two of them actually talked about it all afternoon!"
"Actually, we haven't talked enough yet. The next day we went to the exhibition hall again, the one at Stark Industries. The machines there were so cool that we didn't feel tired even after walking around for a whole day..."
With Stark's murderous look in his eyes, Peter silently stuffed his mouth with sandwiches.
"...Well, no one has ever been willing to listen to me talk about this. They are more willing to listen to all kinds of Hollywood information, gossip about famous brand shows, and new winter and spring clothes. How can anyone be willing to listen to me talk about how to make machines?
A’s?”
"But you really want to talk about this, right? In your opinion, mechas are actually much better-looking than those famous brand coats."
Stark curled his lips, he looked very much like a lemonade now.
"But it's still useless for you to come to us and tell us about this. You have to go to Pepper."
"But she doesn't understand these mechas either, and she's already very busy."
"As I said before, as long as you say it, she will definitely be willing to listen."
