In the early morning, when the first ray of sunshine in New York came in through the cracks in the curtains, Stark moved his arms and covered his eyes with his arms, as if he was resisting the light. Pepper opened his eyes dimly, feeling confused again. He tilted his head to glance at the clock on the wall, and then woke up suddenly.
"It's 9 o'clock, **** it! I still have a meeting!"
Pepper grabbed her hair and sat up from the bed. Stark was awakened by her movement, but turned over with a confused face, put his arms around her waist and said, "Don't worry... baby, We can, well, we can sleep for a while."
Pepper grabbed his arm and threw it out, then sat on the edge of the bed, brushed his hair up with his hands, turned to Stark and said: You muddy busybody! I'm not the group of companions You are a model who is messing around on the yacht, more than half of the orders signed at the fair have not yet been negotiated
Pepper sat on the edge of the bed and covered his forehead, and Stark woke up a little bit. He lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, opened his eyes a few times, and said vaguely:
What meeting... what order"
Pepper looked back at him, as if doubting his life, he said: "How could I believe your nonsense last night, God
"Don't be like this..." Stark still muttered sleepily, he turned over and put his arms around Pepper's waist. "I remember you were very touched last night, it was the first time we chatted like that, it was really nice
Seeing Stark's trembling eyelashes, Pepper sighed, turned back, and glanced at the sunlight coming in from the window. The drowsiness of being awakened had not yet completely dissipated. A little unclear, the conversation from last night sounded in her mind again.
After the negotiation, Stark's mood was very complicated. The military bowed to him, Hammer Industries paid the price, and Ivan's revenge was completely unsuccessful. It stands to reason that he should be very happy, but he is not.
He always felt a little empty in his chest, and an indescribable sense of loss surrounded him. It wasn't until he saw Pepper that he realized where this emotion came from.
Stark is not a person who will talk about missing, but he has to admit that when the sense of loss disappeared when he saw Pepper, he found that he was missing her.
Pepper walked into the room and saw Stark standing by the French window. It was already late at night, and the starry sky in New York was not as bright as imagined. After sunset, the fog covered the moonlight and starlight, making the entire night sky It looks like a falling black curtain
There was some dim light in the room, but it was not enough to illuminate everything clearly. Stark stood in front of the glass with a faint cold light and turned to look at Pepper.
Pepper finds it amazing, because Stark's eyes are moist all the time, like a glimmer of light, even if there is no light source now, he can clearly see from Stark's eyes his emotions.
I don’t know if it’s the emotion called longing that lights up his eyes, or the sun in his eye sockets is shining, but whenever Pepper is stared at by him, it’s always hard to say no .
Pepper walked up to him, and then looked into his eyes. In the past, whenever this time, Stark felt like a child learning to speak, full of words, but said nothing not come out.
But today, his language system seems to have just come online, and he said to Pepper: "Do you know when I am the happiest today?"
Pepper has dealt with too many questions about Stark's unconstrained style. She knows that in many cases, Stark does not need an answer, but a listener, so she simply thought about it and answered: " I think it should be when you saw Hammer's surprised expression after activating the defense facilities'
"When you decided to renovate the building, I was not very in favor of it, because it was a bit risky, but now it seems that this choice is correct. If you can't show a strong enough power, then there will be endless troubles. "
"I'm not trying to discuss this.'
Pepper raised his eyes to look at Stark, and always felt that his expression became very focused. Stark said: "The happiest time for me is to see Peter and his girlfriend walking around the exhibition."
"They carried their schoolbags and walked up to each product, showing surprised expressions, listening carefully to the explainer's explanation, discussing in a low voice, avoiding crowds, and whispering
"I saw them too, it's nice to be young, right?" Pepper said with a smile.
"I'm happy because. Stark looked at Pepper and said, "I was like, if only we could do that.
"I will wait for you at an appointed place, and then we will follow the flow of people into the exhibition hall, and we will be surprised and happy with every new thing we see
Pepper shook his head, sighed and said: "I'm afraid you will be very disappointed, that girl named Gwen is very interested in those machines, and she is even more eloquent than Peter when she mentions these things."
"But I don't understand these things at all, and I'm not very interested. If you want to find someone who can accompany you to this kind of industrial exhibition for a whole day, and surprise you from beginning to end, it will definitely not be Me."
"Do you know?" Stark suddenly changed the subject, "I had a dream a few days ago, a very real dream, you can listen to it as a real story
Pepper looked at him and heard his hoarse voice echoing in the room:
"One day in the future, after many disasters, the Stark Corporation went bankrupt.
"When I woke up from a chaotic dream, I found that I had nothing left.
"I live on the street, hungry and cold, and can only barely survive on food from the relief station."
"I feel very tired and humiliated. I have to move slowly in the street like a beggar, trying to find a whole cardboard box or an oil drum that has not been extinguished to keep warm
Pepper looked at Stark and saw a trace of fear between his brows, Pepper touched Stark's face with his hand and said, "I can't imagine, if this kind of thing really happened
Then, she suddenly reacted and said: "...but this can't happen, you still have so many friends, how could they let "...you fall into this situation"
"What if they all die'
Pepper shook his head and said, "No matter what the reason, if they are all dead, then you can't be alive, you always want to protect them."
"No matter how bad the disaster is, you will be the first one."
Pepper caressed Stark's face, looked into his eyes intently and said: "Sometimes I don't want you to do this, but if you live by stealth, it's not Stark.
Stark turned his head away, smiled helplessly and said, "You just made it impossible for me to tell this story.'
"Then don't talk about it, it's just a dream, there's no need to worry about it."
"Dream?" Stark murmured, "Maybe
"But this story has a very important ending, don't you really want to hear it?" Pepper, stared at by Stark's expectant eyes, couldn't say anything to refuse, she asked: "What ending"
Stark opened his mouth and seemed to have returned to that state of aphasia. After a pause for a long time, he still said: "When I thought I was going to die, the first person I thought of was you .
Perhaps because he felt that his words were too abrupt, Stark explained: "I dreamed that I was about to die, and before I died, I was thinking, where did you go? Then I woke up and found this It's just a dream."
"Do you know why I realized it was a dream'
Stark extended a hand, paused in mid-air, and then covered Pepper's hand touching his cheek, saying, "Because you're not leaving me, are you?"
Pepper looked straight at him, then burst out laughing and said, "That's all you want to say after you've made such a detour"
"I know I'm a bit shameless, I didn't give you any guarantee, but I asked you for this kind of answer first, but it's not the first day you know me
Stark also laughed: "I'm just so shameless.
"Then you deserve to go bankrupt. If you can't continue to pay me such a high salary, I will definitely turn around and leave.
Star took Pepper's arm as he stood closer and said, "A man who claimed to be a mind reader once suggested to me that he could, at an opportune time, give me an answer."
.
"What answer'
Do you really love me?
Pepper just wanted to say that there is no mind reading in this world, and then she suddenly realized that she looked at Stark in shock.
Those brown eyes were like rich honey, and Pepper felt like a bewitched bee at this moment, a little dizzy.
Beyond the glass curtain wall of the Stark Building, a cloud of gray mist floated around the corner of the building. Spider-Man stuck a spider silk to the eaves and hung there upside down. Looking at the indoor scene, Spider-Man Turning his head, he said to the gray fog: "Although I don't know what you are, it's wrong to peek
The gray mist suddenly turned into an arrow, pointing in the direction of Stark and Pepper, Spider-Man turned his head back, and he saw the two kissing each other behind the shimmering glass curtain wall.
After the kiss, Stark let go of Pepper, and before he could say anything, in the corner of his vision, a cloud of gray mist slowly turned into a symbol - it was a check mark.
Recalling the scene of last night, Stark lying on the bed covered his eyes and couldn't help laughing.
While changing clothes, Pepper turned around and said angrily: "Are you happy to see that I am late?"
"I don't." Stark tried to sit up from the bed, he scratched his messy hair and said: "I'm your boss, I can give you a day off, we
"Don't say such stupid things. After I'm on vacation, what will I do with the pile of lists? What will I do with the meeting? What will the company do?" "It's okay, I can replace you for a day, and I will take care of these things."
"Yeah, then I can indeed take a day off." Pepper said indifferently: "Then in the next three months, spend twice as much time dealing with the losses caused by your day."
Stark quickly changed his clothes. Since Pepper knew him, he has never seen him move so quickly. Stark put on his coat and sunglasses~IndoMTL.com~ and went out in a hurry , Before going out, he said: "Then I have to prove to you that there is nothing in this world that Stark can't handle."
An hour later, the Holy of Holies received an unexpected call. Strange took the phone from the salesman with one hand, and stretched his waist with the other hand, and said helplessly: "We are the special line of the universe. Can you call me privately if you have anything?"
"Get someone to help, man, shit, I seem to have made a mistake, this contract seems to be from last year, but I have already signed it.
Strange heard Stark's broken voice: "Since you can provide services to so many messy people, it shouldn't be difficult to get this done. Come here quickly, or Pepper will kill me!"
"Our place is the Holy of Holies, and we are mainly engaged in tasks related to the Cosmic Demon God
"I'm also a cosmic demon god!!! Come here quickly!!!'
"The problem of the Stark Group, you should go to a professional staff team, we are all a bunch of fraud...I mean the financial staff."
"What I'm looking for is a financial worker!"
"Then why don't you go to Wall Street to find"
"Aren't you on Wall Street!!!" Stark yelled
Half an hour later, Strange and a dejected Stark appeared outside the door of the Arkham Sanatorium. Schiller blocked the door and said: "If you want to be admitted to the hospital, you need to pay first."
"Also, pay for yesterday's answer."
"But you told me that yourself." Stark said, glaring at Schiller.
Schiller smiled and said: "What gave you the illusion that I won't buy and sell by force"
“Unscrupulous quack!’
"I'll say it again
