Capítulo 23: Iron Man’s Anxiety
Tony was helpless and shrugged. "Alex, you know a lot of things, but you refuse to tell me. At first, I thought you were attracted by my charm."
"Get lost..."
Alex didn't recruit him on the spot. Firstly, because Ivan hadn't captured the bird yet; secondly, Ivan couldn't let go of Hammer's desire to build a mecha to fulfill his revenge without Alex's help.
Although Ivan failed to kill Iron Man in the original plot, at least the resentment in his heart would be vented after such a struggle.
After all, the grudge between his father and Iron Man's father was only about work, not the murder of his father, and it could still be resolved.
Sure enough, not long after Alex and Tony Stark left, Justin Hammer came to the door.
Ivan's skills on the racing circuit were an eye-opener for him.
Soon, Hammer found out that it had the same source as the power of the Iron Man suit. As long as he got Ivan, he would be equivalent to getting the core of the Iron Man suit.
Losing 20% of the shares was nothing. As long as he got this core power source, he, Hammer, could build a larger weapons empire.
Tony doesn't produce suits. I won't be such a hypocrite!
With Hammer's energy, it wasn't a big problem to mention an unimportant prisoner. Using government connections to transfer the attackers to the United States for trial on the grounds that the attackers were Americans.
How could a small European country have the guts to resist the demands of the United States, let alone over a prisoner? So they naturally surrendered with both hands.
But Ivan wasn't stupid. He knew that Hammer was just using him, and all the promises were just a mirror with no guarantee at all.
Therefore, he secretly researched in Hammer's company, while secretly leaving many back-ups in the mechanical armor.
Poor Hammer thought he was a chess player and controlled everything, but he didn't know that he was a stepping stone in the struggle between Ivan and Tony Stark.
As the days went by, the palladium toxin accumulated in Tony's body. In order to reduce the consumption of recovery medicine, he could only take it once every few days to delay the poisoning time.
Unless the heart stops beating, the palladium toxin will continue to be produced.
Tony became more and more anxious and began to frequent various drinking parties.
Pepper Potts, who didn't know the reason, was very dissatisfied with Tony's dissolute behavior, but for a while she didn't know how to persuade him.
"Alex, will I die? My toxin concentration has reached 90%."
Alex said calmly, "If you don't find a solution, you will. My recovery potion has also been used up. From now on, I will no longer be able to provide it to you."
Tony felt sad and asked Natasha Romanoff, "Suppose this was your last birthday, what would you do?"
Natasha replied, "I'd spend it with my husband."
Tony asked strangely, "Are you two married? Why didn't I know? Alex, getting married secretly is not what good friends should do."
This question made Natasha feel embarrassed. She accidentally revealed her relationship with Alex and didn't know how to explain it.
Alex said, "You should still worry about your relationship with Pepper. You're so seriously poisoned, aren't you going to tell her?"
"What's the use of telling her?" Tony said. "It will only make her worry needlessly. Forget it, let's not talk about these boring topics. Let's have fun at the party tonight..."
At the party, Tony wore a suit and played with a group of blonde beauties. Sometimes he used a laser hand cannon to break wine bottles, and sometimes he performed acrobatics with his suit, causing a group of beauties to scream.
Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes, who was invited to come, was shocked. You must know that Tony, at this time, had the most advanced suit technology in the world. He wore the suit so irresponsibly. If he got drunk and acted recklessly, it would be no small matter.
Even when Pepper came to persuade him, Tony ignored her and smashed everything at the party into a mess.
Seeing Tony being so willful, Rhodey was furious.
Thinking that Tony was unable to shoulder the task of maintaining world peace, he walked into the laboratory and put on another prototype suit. This suit had not yet been painted, and the outside showed a raw silver-white metallic luster.
When Rhodey came out in his suit, a group of beauties screamed again, and Tony enthusiastically invited Rhodey to join them.
Rhodey didn't say much and threw Tony to the ground, trying to subdue him.
Tony was surprised. "Rhodey, what are you going to do?"
Rhodey said angrily, "Tony, look at what you look like now. You still say you have a monopoly on world peace?"
"What is peace? Whoever wants to protect it can do it. We will only drink and dance tonight!"
"Then I'll dance with you to the fullest!"
The two got into a fight at the party.
Fortunately, Alex had known that there would be such a drama in the original plot and saved many people at the critical moment.
When the guests saw that the two steel monsters were real, they screamed in fear and ran away, and the party ended immediately.
Seeing that Tony seemed to have really drunk too much, Rhodey had no choice but to let Tony go crazy at home alone.
He wore a battle suit and flew directly to the army base.
Looking at Rhodey leaving, Tony suddenly became quiet and remained silent.
The suit has remote control technology, and it is impossible to control it without authorization.
In "Iron Man 3," he made dozens of suits explode and set them off as fireworks for Pepper to comfort her.
Letting Rhodey leave at this time was actually a backup plan he left behind.
If he really couldn't pass the life-and-death test, this technology would be handed over to the country.
This was also the only steel suit that was left in exile, creating what became the famous "War Machine" later on.
The next day, Phil Coulson brought a lot of information over and said to Tony, "This is the research information your father left in S.H.I.E.L.D. It is related to the Arc Reactor. Maybe you can find a solution from it."
Tony said, "Put it down, I'll take a look when I have time."
He didn't have much hope. After all, he was as talented as his father, and as the times had progressed for decades, the commemorative value of these old materials was greater than the research value.
In the original plot, Director Fury asked Coulson to supervise Tony and find solutions in the laboratory. But due to the emergence of Alex, semi-house arrest was changed to advice, and he did not dare to be too tough.
At least, before finding a strong person to compete with Alex, Fury was very aware of the situation and gave Alex enough respect.
Coulson turned to Alex and said, "Mr. Alex, I have to go on a business trip, and I will leave Tony to you. His talent is very useful to mankind. Please find a way to help him get through this difficult time."
"Of course," Alex said. "It's just that my recovery potion has been basically used up and I need to find another way. By the way, are you going to New Mexico?"
"How do you know?" Coulson asked in surprise. This matter was confidential, and even Natasha did not notify him.
"I also know that the matter is related to a hammer. When Tony's matter is settled, I will go over and take a look."
Coulson said happily, "With Mr. Alex taking action, we can rest assured."
The last time Coulson met Alex, he went back and asked Director Fury, and Fury had to show him Alex's information.
After all, his subordinates had already interacted with Alex. If he kept it secret, and if his subordinates were ignorant and angered this monster, they didn't know how it would end.
After reading the information, Coulson took a breath.
The last time at Stark Industries, I was really ignorant and fearless, and I dared to confront such a monster-level strongman.
Fortunately, Mr. Alex recognized that I was from S.H.I.E.L.D., otherwise, it was uncertain whether I would have escaped from Stark Industries with my life.
After that, he followed up and observed, and found that Mr. Alex was kind-hearted. He liked to save people at disaster scenes but had no interest in fighting. With him here, the threat that the mysterious hammer might bring would be greatly reduced.
The hammer Alex was talking about was Mjolnir!
According to the timeline in the original plot, the events of "Thor" take place after "Iron Man 2."
In order to test Thor, Odin threw Mjolnir to Earth and then exiled Thor to a small town near the hammer, hoping that he would reflect on his mistakes.
The hammer had just been discovered at this time, and Thor had not yet landed on Earth. Alex was not in a hurry and would solve Tony's problem first.
