Tom was lying on the bed, playing with a small snake-shaped object in his hand, which was a souvenir left by Nagini before he left. This snake looks similar to Nagini when he had a body, but the shape is cooler. It is bent into an arc, and the snake's upper body and tail have clips that can be used to fix it.

Nagini told him that this could be used as an earring. Tom put this gadget on his ear in front of the mirror, and the snake seemed to be wrapped around his ear, which was both weird and second-guessing.

"Mr. Smith, Sir, please make a cup of coffee and go to the studio."

Tom remained silent, still thinking about the little snake.

"Mr Smith?"

Tom froze for a moment, and then realized that "Smith" was calling him, the casual alias.Tom hurried to the restaurant and forgot to pick up the things on his ears.

As soon as he opened the door of the studio, Tom received an unpleasant sight from Tony: "I am the boss, you are the assistant, you should wait for me, not me for you."

Tom just nodded.

Tony took the coffee and put it aside, and asked, "Will you hand things over?"

Tom: "..."

Tony went on to say, "If you don't, you have to."

Tom rolled his eyes secretly.

While Tony was tinkering with the gadgets he was inventing, he asked Tom to pass something from time to time. The tacit cooperation between the two was beyond Tony's expectations. Whatever the name of the tool, Tom could accurately hand him the correct tool. It's much smarter than the intelligent robotic arm he made.

"Which university are you from? What major did you graduate from?" After finishing the little machine, Tony turned to look at Tom and asked, "You... what is this on your ear?"

Tom touched his ears: "It's just a decoration." It seemed that this decoration was really conspicuous and secondary. Tom blushed slightly, and continued, "I didn't go to college, I only went to high school."

Tony had some doubts on his face, and Tom explained: "Our high school experiment class is very good."

Tony nodded, and didn't ask Tom to take off the things on his ears. He threw the things he just made to Tom casually: "For self-defense, put it next to the enemy's head. Press this button to make him temporarily lose Action force."

Tom took the gadget with great interest. It was only the size of a thumb and could be easily hidden in his trousers to catch the bad guys by surprise.

But it doesn't do much for Tom - he's a big bad himself.

But since it was the first gift Tony gave him, he accepted it.

"Are you married?" Tony noticed the ring on Tom's hand and was a little surprised.

Tom looked down and saw that the ring Tony gave was still on his finger. He forgot to take it off, so he nodded along the way: "Yes, I'm married."

"Then she must be a pretty girl," Tony said casually.

Tom looked at the "pretty girl" Tony, nodded, and said with a smile, "Yes, it's a pretty girl."

Not long after, Pepper hurried in to urge Tony, who should have boarded the plane to fly to the Middle East an hour ago to show the military his latest research on the Jericho missile.

Jericho missile?

Tom remembered the story that Nagini told him before he left. It was during this trip that Tony was kidnapped by terrorists. The drug fragments entered his blood and would enter the heart along with the blood circulation, killing him.In order to stop these shrapnel, Tony made a miniature ark reactor in the cave where he was held to maintain his own life. In order to escape, he made the first generation of Mark Armor.

In other words, this kidnapping is an opportunity for Tony to become Iron Man.

Tony picked up his coat and walked out the door with Pepper. Tom followed subconsciously. Tony glanced at him and said, "You don't have to go, just stay here to watch the house. I'm with the military. No need for bodyguards or assistants."

"It's my duty to protect you with you," Tom said immediately, "just as a public trip."

Tony and Pepper: "..."

It's the first time I've seen someone who takes advantage of the public so confidently!

In the end, Tom got his wish and boarded the plane. As long as he followed Tony, he could have ten thousand ways to prevent Tony from being kidnapped and bring him home safely, but...

What did the title of superhero bring to Tony?

The responsibility, the danger, the people he was protecting turned their guns on Tony himself, just because Tony failed to take care of every cockroach in every corner while trying to save the world.They even believe that if it weren't for superheroes, the earth would not face crisis after crisis at all.

Tony has been a superhero for so many years, what has he gained?Do not understand, blame, hate...

That being the case, why do you still want to be a superhero?

Just be a super rich man, eat, drink, have fun and pick up girls—no, no, no, you can't pick up girls.Tom wanted to take the burden of being a superhero off Tony's shoulders, completely forgetting that Nagini had warned him "it's best not to affect the plot" before he left.

"I've been waiting for you here for three hours - why do you bring an assistant with you when you cooperate with the military? Accompanying massage? It's very difficult for you to find freshly ground coffee. We only have instant coffee there." Roddy stood at the plane door , obviously had been waiting for Tony for a long time, and the expression on his face was so dark that ink dripped out.

"It's okay, I brought the coffee machine and coffee beans, and my assistant and bodyguard, Roddy, try him."

Roddy glanced at Tom: "I don't bully children—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was attacked by Tom and fell to the ground with his head down.

Tony patted Tom's shoulder, who was still in the action of knocking down Roddy, approvingly, and tapped Roddy's calf with his toes: "Why, you can't even beat my children?"

Roddy got up angrily. Of course, his fighting skills were much better than Tom, who had only been training for two years, but Tom was good at sneak attacks, and with the blessing of magic, he was caught off guard and fell down.

But as a military officer and soldier, it is impossible for him to be as knowledgeable as a young bodyguard. It would be embarrassing to be knocked down by a child, so he continued to provoke unconvinced——

That face can be thrown to Siberia.

Even on the plane, Tony didn't change his mind. He opened two bottles of wine and asked some slim stewardesses to dance to the music. As for himself, he chatted with Roddy while admiring the dance of the stewardesses.

So Tom made another note to Tony in his little grudge-book.

After getting off the plane, they drove for a while in an off-road vehicle and came to the most desolate place Tom had ever seen.There are rocks and loess everywhere in sight, obviously uninhabited, which is suitable for testing missiles/missiles.

During the test, Tom was a little absent-minded, thinking about Iron Man, superheroes, etc.—after thinking for a while, Tony finished his impassioned advertisement, and a strong shock wave wrapped in wind and sand directly hit Tom's forehead. Tom felt that It was as if he had been slapped across the head and face by the wind.

Such a strong impact can be felt a few kilometers away from the explosion point. No wonder this kind of missile is favored by the military.

A group of people were going back to the military base by car, but Tony refused to take the same off-road ride with Rody with a look of disgust, and instead let Tom sit next to him.

The atmosphere in the car was very stiff, no one spoke, only a young soldier sitting next to Tony kept expressing his curiosity about Tony with his eyes.

Tom propped his chin on one hand, and seemed to be looking at the distant scenery—although there was no scenery to see—in fact, he was always on guard for a sneak attack.

The silence didn't last long, and Tony could make himself likable—or at least the center of the party—if he wanted to.He quickly chatted with the soldiers around him, and the two of them even planned to take a group photo.

Tony pulled Tom by the shoulder and pulled Tom into the camera: "Come on, take a photo with my bodyguard."

"Bodyguard?" The soldier who took their picture laughed. "And we need a bodyguard? The only consequence of his being here is that we have one more person to take care of."

"boom!"

At this moment, the car in front of them exploded.The whole body flew up, rolled over the roof of the car Tony and Tom were sitting in, and hit the back of the car.

Here comes the sneak attack.

The car was nailed to the ground suddenly, Tom pressed Tony's shoulder, and said without doubt: "Stay here!"

"Give me a gun!" Tony was still yelling. Tom turned his wrist and a charge appeared in his hand. The scene was so chaotic that Tony didn't even notice that his bodyguard had entered the battlefield with a gun. This was the first time he was so close to death—especially when the young soldier who was talking to Tony in the last second was pierced into a sieve by the shot/shot/gun in the next second.

The soldier looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, the best age in his life. After dedicating his youth to the country, he unknowingly dedicated his life in such a desolate place to Tony, whom he had never met before. people.

Tony opened the car door, stumbled out, and ran to the edge of the road.Tom had already dealt with a few assaulters and two snipers with bullets and magic with his gun in hand. When he turned around, there was no trace of Tony in the car.

Taking a closer look, Tony was fleeing in embarrassment to a rock on the side of the road, hiding his whole body behind the rock.Unexpectedly, within a few seconds of hiding, a guided missile landed directly beside Tony!

There are also a few large characters printed on the shell of the missile/missile: Stark Industries.

Tony cursed, and subconsciously wanted to stand up and run away, but his back collar was suddenly pulled by someone, and he fell to the ground on his back. There was a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen. In an instant, Tony's eyes were blurred. up.

There was a buzzing in Tony's ears. Someone tore open his suit. The bulletproof vest was pierced by shrapnel, and the white shirt was stained red with blood.

"Tony! Tony! Open your eyes and look at me! Don't leave me!"

It sounded like... Tom's voice.

Tony blinked reluctantly, he couldn't see Tom's expression clearly, he could only hear the anxiety in the other's voice.

"I can save you..."

Tony's confused mind could barely make out what the words meant.

"But I've figured it out, it's up to you to decide whether to become Iron Man or not, although I know how you will choose..."

"That's your own future, I can't interfere."

"sorry."

Then there were gunshots and noisy voices close to his ears, and Tony lost consciousness and fell into boundless darkness.
