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

"Not too long, at most..." Tony replied while holding his mobile phone and preparing to call the headquarters. In fact, he couldn't figure it out himself.

"It's been more than 72 hours, sir." However, there was always a Jarvis who could count very clearly.

Tom raised his eyebrows. For him, not sleeping for 72 hours is definitely not a big deal. After all, he didn't even have a body for a long time. Normal physiological functions can't be affected at all, but Tony is different.

He is a normal human being, no matter how much money, honor, or fans he has, his body is just like that, and it is not a good thing for a human body to toss about like this.

Tony turned around and held his back to meet Tom's disapproving gaze, and then started talking to Nick on the phone.

This kind of obviously guilty behavior appeared to be quite contrary to Tony, and this kind of wrongness has been around for a long time, but it used to be very subtle, and it has become more and more obvious recently.

Looking through the memory carefully, this situation seems to have started after he left the United States for the British wizarding world. What happened to Tony during that time?

Of course, it is also possible that nothing happened, but something catalyzed Tony's deep-seated...anxiety.

It's hard to believe that Tony has anxiety, because he seems to be an optimistic person who can't be more optimistic and confident. Parties, beauties, dinners, super powers, newspaper headlines, ordinary people He has everything he could wish for.

But it seems that he has these things, so he has more sense of responsibility that ordinary people don't have. That sense of responsibility was inexplicable more than once when Tom first met him. Justify yourself physically and mentally.

Tony has been Iron Man for too long, and the responsibilities on his back will not be thrown off so easily, and the source of this anxiety is obviously that something threatens what he is carrying.

Or rather, something threatened himself.

Tom didn't know whether Tony would have such a thing as an inferiority complex. It stands to reason that an adult who has learned to think will always experience this emotion at some point, but he can't see through Tony. All Tony's actions have too much The past was entangled in it, and he might not have cared about it before, and he didn't want to know about it, but now, he felt that he should find a time to talk to Jarvis.

Because he wasn't really sure Tony was going to wear himself down.

Nick on the other end of the phone was completely confused by Tony. It is very likely that Loki attacked the earth. That guy's methods are always endless, but it is necessary for Tony to pull him to repeat it over and over again?

God knows he's been trying to interrupt Tony and say he's busy, but it's never been successful, and he feels like someone on the other side is using the phone to escape something.

However, in the next second, Nick's wish came true, because the phone really hung up right before Tony finished speaking.

Nick: "???" What the hell?

Tony only felt that his hands were empty, Tom didn't know when he had walked behind him and took his mobile phone, but he forgot that someone walked almost silently.

"What you need to do now is go to sleep right away."

"Hey! I haven't finished my experiment yet, buddy, you have to know that in a while, a new generation will be born soon..."

The only way to get Tony to stop thinking was just Tom raising his wand, "If you choose to let me cast a spell first to make sure you're completely unconscious, I'm willing to oblige."

Tony could only spread his hands, "Okay, okay, ha, now I'm not wearing Mark."

Tony's usual smile was on his face, and the reaction seemed normal at first glance, and there was even a hint of ridicule in his words. If there was no in-depth analysis, everything would be the same as usual.

But Tom watched the back of Tony back to the room and felt that the problem was not as simple as he imagined. Tony's situation didn't seem to be just the kind of badness caused by four days of not sleeping.

The phrase "I'm not wearing a mark right now" sounds especially concerning.

"Jarvis."

"I am here, sir."

"Would you mind talking to me about your master?" Occasionally, Tom used a question rather than a statement. He knew that he was dealing with an insubstantial "person", even if the other party didn't follow him. Any way, it would be foolish to put on airs instead.

Should it be said that what he learned the most during the period of amnesia was how to observe others.

There was a moment of silence in the space, "Yes, sir, I am very happy."

Tom turned back to the yard bench, where Jarvis was everywhere and the open space facilitated conversation.

"You really don't have life, do you, Jarvis."

"Yes, I have no life, sir."

The answer was quick this time, although the subtle pause in the previous question might have been an accident, but it still made Tom pay attention, and it was not unreasonable for Tony to say that he was sensitive.

Today's temperature is good, and the speed of serving tea is still slow, and its shape seems to be very different today.

On the top of the little clumsy head-let's count it as a head-wearing a white pointed hat, there is only one word "DUNCE" written vertically on the hat, which is Tony's masterpiece without thinking.

Tom took off the paper hat and folded it in his breast pocket, showing a sharp corner, and said as he watched the little clumsy hand put the teacup on the low table aside, "From today onwards, you should stay away from Tony's Underground studio." For you, and for Tony.

Little Clumsy tilted his head, wondering if he understood, and went back into the house with the tray.

"Sir, which part do you want to start with?"

"Start with why he has anxiety attacks." He was sure that, as a perfect assistant, Jarvis must be aware of all the changes in Tony. Although he has no human emotions, he can analyze the physiological changes in the body in the shortest possible time. Characteristic data, anxiety, impossible not to be detected.

"That started a long time ago, sir."

Of course, Tom knew that the formation of a certain emotion in a person would definitely not be caused by just one reason, it involved the environment, character, events and process, and he was already prepared to listen to a long, long story.

"Mr. Stark and Mrs. Stark passed away when I was born. I think you should have seen this information in various magazines or newspapers and websites. Stories about how the boss of the Stark Group turned his prodigal son back will always earn some money. eyeball."

"I think the appearance of Iron Man was an accident. Before this accident, I was just a life steward. Of course, in Tony's life, experiments are an inseparable part, so my work includes analyzing the data of his inventions, At most, I can deal with a little bit of company affairs, and after that, my main job has actually become Tony's assistant when manipulating the armor."

Such a passage is only the beginning of the story, but Tom still extracts the information he has heard more than once.

It seems that every time Iron Man is mentioned, many people think not of Tony, but of the armor called Mark.

Whether it's Jarvis or others, even Tony himself, there is such a point of view, it seems that when he takes off his armor, he is not Iron Man?

At least Tom didn't think so.

"Because of the death of Mr. and Mrs. Stark, and the innocent people who died in the Avengers hunt for Hydra, Tony has always had some psychological problems. In the last New York incident, Tony was in the black hole. What I saw in the film also seemed to have a big impact, but unfortunately Mark had no electricity at that time, so I didn't get to see it together."

So there are many reasons. If each one is like the last straw, it is already an unbearable weight.

And Tom feels that the existence of those members who are also members of the Avengers is also a certain stimulus to Tony. Those so-called superheroes themselves have superpowers. Even Natasha has her own skills, and as Jarvis said, If not for that accident, Tony is an ordinary person, which is also the underlying reason why Tony said that sentence when he took out his wand just now, although that point was hidden deep enough that Tony who spoke may not have noticed it himself.

"I have all of Tony's physical data and various incident videos, but I'm sorry, sir, I don't seem to be able to help you as expected."

No one can say that they fully understand another person. Although Jarvis seems to know everything about Tony, he is not. Everyone can see the story, but even the most honest person will have a disguise. How to see through the appearance is very important.

When Tom lowered his head to think, Jarvis was silent for a while before speaking, "Do you mind if I say something, sir."

The object of the sentence here is obviously aimed at Tom, "What?"

"Actually, I'm surprised that you would be curious about Tony's affairs. In my data collection on you, I thought you were a person who paid attention to the individual. Maybe you would never care about other people's conditions and thoughts, even if it was Tony. The chance that you will take the initiative to ask him for past information is less than [-]%."

I have to say that the odds are really low and outrageously low. In fact, he also wanted to ensure the distance between them—the key point is that he is not interested in the past at all. It wasn't Tony, and he happened to feel that something was wrong with Tony's situation, in fact, it was really impossible for him to waste this kind of time researching this kind of thing.

Does it really look too weird?
