[Comprehensive British and American] The Dark Lord of the Red Tin Can

Tony now has an irrepressible curiosity about Tom's past. If he listens to Tom's own description, can he still be a super criminal before?

But after hearing what Tom said, his desire to adopt Pete has increased a lot, which can be considered as an indirect elimination of future opponents... maybe.

Although Tom's theory is completely unreliable, his own experience can't be used by everyone, and predicting the future, unless he has such superpowers, is unreliable.

Tony himself understands that theory very well, but he can only say that it is probably because the person who said it is Tom, and coupled with his calm expression of swearing, the credibility has increased a lot.

After saying a bunch of inexplicable words, Tom shook his still aching head and went back to the room. He never liked to show his vulnerability in front of others. After that, he probably would never drink alcohol again.

And another person who has been influenced by him has to go to the S.H.I.E.L.D. for a meeting. This incident has been reported in the newspapers again, and the direction of public opinion needs to be deliberately controlled. These days, if you do good deeds, you will be praised. Especially for Avengers which often destroy buildings.

Speaking of which, Tony hasn't read today's newspaper.

But he didn't guess that most of the headlines in the media this time were not criticizing them for not arriving in time, not saying that some children were still injured, or saying that they didn't stop the super criminals from damaging public goods— —that is, the dangerous wall that was about to collapse—but they all focused on unexpected candidates.

Although many media daily diss reunion, many people can't imagine what life would be like without these people. The extreme attention and nitpicking can also be interpreted as a way to express fear, as if it is possible to discuss superheroes casually. , which means that they can also ignore those super criminals at will.

It is because of this that no matter whether it is the members of the Avengers or the people of S.H.I.E.L.D., they never respond to the news, whether it is positive or negative. Anyway, there is no substantive content, and it is a waste of time.

But when that concern concerns others, it's not just theirs.

Criminal or Hero? ! "

"Avengers New Members Face Horror! "

"What is the ability of new members?Is it a cosmetic failure? "

"Although he did help us a lot by saving the boy, but to be honest, as a new member, I don't know him." When Nick read the newspaper this morning, he almost thought that he had traveled through time and space, otherwise he would almost Why are all the headlines in the media completely out of touch with his previous memories.

It is said that the imagination of the media is extremely rich, so it is not enough to make up a person, right?What's more, this person doesn't look like a good person.

And this person... is so familiar...

Nick had only seen Tom's photo at the time, and he only glanced at it in a hurry. He never paid too much attention to ordinary people who were completely harmless, and he had already decided to let him go anyway. As a result, he is completely unable to match the black and white profile photos in the newspaper with the people in the images.

"Actually, you should know him. He lived here just over half a month ago." Tony put down the newspaper in his hand and pointed to the S.H.I.E.L.D. What big news, looking around, several newspapers have similar headlines, "But he is indeed not a new member, at least... not now."

Although Tom has the foundation of a super criminal from his appearance to his temper, and he even admits that he may have done bad things in the past, but Tony's idea of ​​pulling him into the gang has never been extinguished.

The reason why he has not put it into action is that it may cause trouble for the entire team-assuming Tom is really a villain who does all kinds of evil-after all, as long as Tom joins, he will share the name and glory of the Avengers, The troubles he caused will also be transferred to Fulian.

However, he has never heard of a person like Tom in this world, even if he is similar in appearance, there is no match. This is the reason why he did not directly impose the death penalty at the beginning. Of course, it may also be because he had a fluke mentality. one of the reasons.

People, they are always more willing to believe what they want to see, and they are more willing to favor those close to them. Tony doesn't know if this is an excuse, but at least it sounds reasonable so far.

"Not now? You want him in, Tony?"

Nick’s question successfully attracted the attention of everyone present. Although the composition of the members of the Avengers has been complicated since its development, and there are a lot of people, and some people are not permanent, and they are often invisible, but not everyone can Those who join, if the values ​​and ideas are different, joining such people will only bring down the entire team.

"I have this idea, but it's not mature yet."

After Nick got the answer, he didn't comment on it. After all, although the Avengers is under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D. It constitutes pointing fingers, so it is other Avengers members and not him who should be asked about ambiguous words.

Furthermore, it is reassuring to say that a few old members are there.

"I hope your words can also make those reporters happy. They surrounded your company in the morning." For the media who are afraid of chaos, the fact that they are too calm is not what they want to hear.

"That's such a pity, I won't go to the company today." Out of the good mood of not having to deal with the media, Tony's tone was very light, and he felt that at least half of this needs to be thanks to Tom.

Nick: "..."

Since there was nothing to fix, the meeting was over in just 10 minutes, so Tony had more time to get off the Skyship and...see Pete.

Obviously it was Tom's business at first, but now he is always worried. He feels that at least half of this is due to Tom's remarks.

It was a very, very remote and small orphanage. When he went there, the children were moving freely in the open space. In their eyes, Tony didn't see much innocence. Instead, it was because of the sports car and clothes he parked outside that there were several children. Follow him closely, as if expecting him to take them away.

These children seem to understand what adults like, they are not noisy, and they have cute smiles, like a group of dolls.

To be honest, he didn't like the atmosphere here at all, it was too depressing, which made people feel a little creepy.

"Peter, there...someone is looking for you."

At that time, Pete was writing in his diary. He went to "expedition" on the mountain behind the orphanage yesterday, so he was too tired so he didn't write yesterday's diary.

The sudden sound startled him, and he closed the book almost with a "swipe". There are many secrets in it.

Looking back, he saw a new face, probably not long since he entered the orphanage, and there are no lost children here, it seems that he has not been bullied by him, otherwise he would not dare to come to him alone.

Almost everyone in this orphanage, including the dean, disliked him. At first it was because he had a gloomy personality when he was a child, but later it was probably because he had cleaned up almost everyone.

However, they would never examine their own reasons. If they hadn't relied on their numbers first, how could he have retaliated against all of them?

The little boy took a step back in fright because he looked at the past. He thought that he had been indoctrinated with a lot of his "sinful deeds" during this period. Before he could speak, the boy turned around and ran away, making Pete want to ask Whoever came to find him also failed together.

But he immediately realized that who else could come to him?Could it be the last time...

Thinking of this, he felt excited for a long time. Could it be that person who came to adopt him?

At this time, Tony was sitting there with a bewildered expression on his face. Although the dean had sent someone to find Pete because of his insistence, no matter how he looked at it, he felt reluctant.

"Sir, I know you have a special status, but Pete's child is not suitable for you to adopt, he..." Every time the dean talked about the key points, he always didn't know how to proceed. No matter how bad it is, she is still a child in the orphanage, and she still can't say those bad things out of her mouth.

Tony even felt that he was embarrassing the dean who was over [-] years old in front of him, but so far he just wanted to meet Pete, at most he revealed a hint of his desire to adopt, There is no need for such a big reaction.

In fact, the dean just thinks that his orphanage has been very difficult to operate. If Pete has done something serious wrong after being adopted-this is not alarmist. What is impossible to happen around Iron Man?This is not an ordinary family—then people looked at her orphanage differently, saying that birds of a feather flock together, and outsiders would probably think that her other children are as bad as that.

Just when the dean hesitated to speak, Tony saw Pete running over from a distance, and he seemed very excited.

Tony figured he'd be as happy as Pete was in the first place if the excited look didn't fade away as quickly as he saw him.

It seems that the boy really likes Tom.
