"In other words, do you think that since Howard has studied this thing, I should also be able to produce results?"
After listening to SHIELD's commission, Tony Stark looked a little unhappy:
"If I can produce results, I will be the same as Howard. If I can't produce results, am I not as good as Howard?"
"..." Natasha didn't know how to respond to this sentence.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has information that Tony Stark is very dissatisfied with his father, Howard Stark, they are not psychiatrists, so it is impossible to know what he thinks specifically, but for now, it seems that they are counting on him to "carry on the legacy."
Something like that, just overthinking.
At this time, it's time for someone with "mind reading" skills to take action. Natasha looked at the "White Queen" with a little anticipation. No, let's call her Rachel Fisk in private.
"You can put aside the results for now, Mr. Stark," Rachel said as expected: "I think you should know that the organization called SSR, the predecessor of SHIELD, was founded by your father, right?"
"Strategitific Reserve," Stark said, "If it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't have anything to do with those guys from S.H.I.E.L.D."
"The purpose of the establishment of the Strategic Science Corps is to fight against Hydra," Natasha almost immediately found the entry point: "And the reason why Mr. Howard Stark was assassinated was precisely because of the research results of the 'Cosmic Cube'
It poses a serious threat to Hydra, and they want to prevent him from continuing his research in this way."
"No one can stop a Stark from doing what he wants to do!" Tony responded dissatisfiedly, and then thought for two seconds: "It turns out that the successor to the organization created by Howard has been thought of by him.
Is the enemy to be dealt with fully penetrated?"
She hasn't said anything yet?
"This is an obvious thing," Rachel said again: "Since the director of SHIELD chose to put something like this that all founders are cautious about with me, it means that he has no one or place that he can trust.
Already."
"Oh, Nick was full of confidence when he rebuilt the 'Avengers', but it turned out that he was just an empty frame," Stark laughed: "He chose to trust me, which is good. Stark can afford anyone's trust."
, but he didn’t give a reason why I had to help him.”
"Then, I will make you an offer you can't refuse." Rachel said.
These words were a bit full. With Stark's bad temper, these words might be counterproductive. Natasha turned to look at Rachel, only to find that she had folded her hands to cover her mouth, and the monocle on her face was still hanging out.
There was a bright light.
"Really? Let's talk about it?" Stark didn't seem to care much about Rachel's words and replied noncommittally.
"By studying it, your 'palladium poisoning' can be cured." Rachel replied.
"What!" The one who reacted the most was Natasha. She stood up suddenly and almost jumped up.
"..." Stark was silent for two seconds: "I am sure that this information has never been leaked. Even Peter doesn't know about it."
"In fact, it was Peter who told me," Rachel continued without waiting for Stark to refute: "He complained that the burden you placed on him was too heavy and that you had too many demands on him, with the attitude of grooming him as an heir.
"
"..." Stark was silent again.
"Peter himself may not realize that he told the truth, but the Fisk family's intelligence network and legal team are not vegetarians." Rachel raised a hand and waved: "You have frequently appeared as Iron Man recently.
, but he only did small things like helping an old lady cross the road and rescuing a cat from a tree. He went to see Mr. Obadiah Stane three times in a month, took the initiative to cut off relations with many cover girls with whom he had previously interacted, and even secretly
Many bonds and real estate are in Miss Potts' name, and..."
"That's enough! Are all the people in the Fisk family so idle? Why not develop your own business more if you have the time?" Stark interrupted loudly, but his expression did not seem too angry.
"In fact, these are the businesses of the Fisk family, and collecting information from the heads of large consortiums is very important to understand the market trends in the coming period." Rachel replied.
"Including what did they say to the cover girl?" Stark expressed disbelief.
"That's not the case. They are publicizing this matter themselves. After all, it's not news that a rich man looks for cover girls, but severing ties with them is big news. They are all guessing that you may be getting married, and they are very afraid of you.
My wife." Rachel said.
"I'm not afraid of Pepper at all!" yelled Stark.
"oh--"
Rachel made a long note, Bruce Banner immediately started cheering, and Thor also started cheering for no apparent reason. Only Atreus rolled his eyes and ignored it.
Because the information obtained was so shocking, Natasha analyzed it for a moment and finally remembered that she should follow her, but it was already too late.
"I can only say that you only thought about handling everything before you died, but you didn't think about how others would judge you at the funeral." Before Stark became angry, Rachel stopped booing, cleared her throat and continued: "Here
Lying is the descendant of the Stark family, the hero of mankind, the ruler of Stark Industries, the founder and sustainer of the Avengers, the protector of the old woman, the savior of the cat in the tree, the bar and cover girl.
The sponsor, the terminator on the F1 track, the guardian of family and love, the iron man who has a tiger in his heart and smells the roses, Mr. Tony Stark."
"Oh, hell! If anyone dares to say that in front of my coffin, I will jump out and kick his ass hard with my boots, I swear!" Stark finally became completely angry.
"So, you'd better live well, at least until everyone forgets the stupid things you did," Rachel knocked on the Cube and pushed it to Stark: "According to what these two 'gods' said
, its official name is 'Space Gem', and as the name suggests, it interferes with space. As long as you master the application method, it is not difficult to remove those palladium elements from the body."
"That makes sense," Natasha continued: "Hydra once used it to create a weapon that could make people disappear into thin air. Because of its unreasonable characteristics, our scientists couldn't figure it out.
, now it seems that they simply moved the target to an unknown place."
Stark stretched out his hand towards the Cosmic Cube, but stopped midway: "I admit that what you said makes sense, but it still cannot be called 'irresistible'."
"Well..." Rachel tapped her cane in the palm of her hand: "You once said that the development of science and technology focuses on materials, technology and structures. I would venture to add that it is 'transportation'. For example, through astronomical observations in March
A habitable planet is discovered ten light years away. Even if humans reach the speed of light, it will take at least thirty years to reach it, right? For another example, if you invent a super strong alloy, it must be used on Mercury and Pluto.
Minerals, how long does it take to produce them? These problems can be solved by studying this 'space gem'."
"Hmph..." Stark picked up the Cosmic Cube: "Pluto has been expelled."
