A Talk with Tony

At this time, Leo and Tony had returned to Tony's villa. With the help of J.A.R.V.I.S, Tony took off his Iron Man Armor.

Leo, on the other hand, took out a bottle of cold, expensive, carbonated water from the fridge and sat on the couch to drink it without a care in the world. He had just fought with Abomination. Although he hadn't done much, he still had to concentrate to prevent the Abomination from punching him. Now that he was relaxed, he couldn't help but feel exhausted.

"Tony, although your suit looks cool and all but, why do you wear it so formally every day? Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Leo watched Tony take off his armor and walk first to the fridge. Finally, he also took out a can of homey happy water. He came in front of Leo and sat gracefully on the sofa, drinking a few dollars' worth of carbonated water. If someone didn't know, they would think that he was holding a red wine worth hundreds of thousands.

"Leo, you don't understand. I'm Iron Man, the most famous superhero in the world, so I have to maintain my elegance and gentlemanly air at all times."

Tony crossed his legs and leaned back against the sofa.

"Oh come on, Tony. This is your villa. There are no outsiders here. Hurry up and change out of your flashy clothes. It makes me dizzy.'

"That's true. Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Tony stood up and put the drink on the table. He returned to his room and changed. When he came out again, he was already dressed casually. Although the clothes were also expensive, they looked much more comfortable.

"Tony, are you wearing special clothes? How can the reactor be visible?"

Leo looked at the arc reactor that was exposed to Tony's chest. It was already a triangular model and no longer a circle like before. It seemed that Tony had created a new element. But with the reactor exposed, his clothes didn't need a hole.

"Of course. I ordered the best and most famous designers in the world to design it. It cost me…"

"Okay, okay, stop. You said I disappeared for a few months in New York?"

Leo interrupted Tony's shameless act of flaunting his wealth and remembered what Tony said when they met today and asked with some surprise. He had only been in X-Men for more than a week. How come so much time had passed here?

"That's right. To be precise, you've been gone for five months. Your girlfriend has been coming to me every day to ask you news for months. It's been a headache."

Speaking of this, Tony had a constipated expression on his face, indicating that it was really hard for him.

"Okay, I'll see her in a minute. Let's talk about what happened in the last five months. Is the Stark Expo opening?"

According to the movie plot, it shouldn't be time for Iron Man 2 yet, but Leo wasn't sure if the plot would change because of him.

"Nothing happened much. After your reminder, I kept looking through what my father left me, but at the beginning, I didn't make any progress, until a few months ago, I found out that my father was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"I immediately went to the one-eyed director and asked him the truth. He didn't hide anything from me. He told me everything he knew and gave me some of my father's relics. That's where I found a way to get rid of Palladium Poisoning completely."

"So, Leo, did you already know all this? Why didn't you tell me? You wasted several months of my time."

"However, Leo, I must express my sincerest gratitude to you."

As he spoke, the frivolous expression on Tony's face disappeared, and he turned solemn and sincere. Because of Li Yue's reminder, he got his father's relics, and learned that it wasn't that his father didn't care about him, but that he wasn't good at expressing his love.

"Tony, you have to know that this is something you have to experience. Only if you experience it will you completely change in the future, and then…"

Leo also said to Tony in a low voice, but didn't say anything halfway. Leo knows that only after experiencing some things can Tony become the Tony who is finally willing to sacrifice his life for the world.

"I understand your intention."

Tony didn't blame him. Instead, he had to thank Leo for letting him know some things.

"What was I talking about? Oh, yes, speaking of how I found a solution to Palladium Poisoning, that is, inventing a new element. My father discovered it, to be precise, but he couldn't make it with the technology of his time, but it wasn't difficult for a genius like me. So now I have an arc reactor with a new element on my chest."

As Tony spoke, there was an indecipherable expression on his face, one of understanding and joy. Finally, he tapped the arc reactor in his chest with his finger.

"Well, you mean nothing big happened during this time, right?"

Li Yue rubbed her forehead and said helplessly.

"Of course, this world has me, Iron Man. The bad guys don't dare to come out anymore. What can happen?"

Tony had reverted to his narcissistic personality.

"So what happened today?"

Leo asked mercilessly.

"Well, today is a special situation. That's their own fault. I don't want to clean up after them."

Tony choked, but still refused to admit it.

"Hiccup… Alright, I won't talk to you about that. I'm going to check on Louis." Leo finished the drink in one gulp and put the empty bottle on the table. He stood up and burped, before he said to Tony his going to leave first.

"Remember to come tomorrow. I have upgraded my armor's tech several times. I will show you how powerful they are."

Seeing that Leo was about to leave, Tony hurriedly reminded him.

Leo didn't say anything else. He made an OK gesture with his right hand and then instantly disappeared in front of Tony.

"I really envy his ability. No, I have to hurry up and develop the armor. Maybe I'll be able to get the wormhole technology someday."

Thinking that, Tony was full of energy. He drank up the drink in his hand and quickly walked to the underground laboratory to study the armor.

…

At that moment, Leo had already arrived in front of the door, but he walked around and hesitated for a long time. He didn't have the courage to knock on the door. He didn't know what expression she would have when she saw him when. Will she be happy? Or angry?

Eventually, Leo made up his mind and raised his right hand, ready to knock on the door.

But before Leo's right hand touched the door, she heard the sound of shattered glass.

Leo immediately turned around, only to see that the scenery around them had turned around at some point. It was as if the world had been rolled up like a painting.

A being in a yellow robe with a hood over its head couldn't be seen. It made a strange gesture with its right hand and raised it.

"Mr. Li or should I call you Leo, let's have talk about you entering this universe without permission!"

"Holy Sh*t, why is she here?"

Looking at the face that raised its head, took off its hood, and spoke to it, Leo was shocked.
