The thought that Pepper was waiting for him to come home roused Tony.

"They're just a bunch of uneducated terrorists, Tony. You'll definitely be able to outmaneuver them," Tony kept encouraging himself.

After Tony forced himself to cheer up, he turned his attention to Ethan.

He remembered the cold nuclear fusion reactor in the company, and he had already figured out a way to break out.

To create a small cold fusion nuclear reactor to extend its life, while also serving as an energy device to start a larger one.

Tony, now wielding his super brain, sprang into action.

at the same time.

Sharon Carter, who eats sand in the desert, is also checking canyons one by one for potential terrorists.

She wasn't in charge of Tony Stark's affairs at the time, and she had only heard bits and pieces about Tony Stark's experiences occasionally.

It's said that those uneducated terrorists wanted to capture Tony to make weapons for them, but Tony ended up building an Iron Man suit right under their noses.

Tony Stark escaped the encirclement using that Iron Man suit, and it's worth mentioning that Tony was initially imprisoned in a cave by a group of terrorists known as the Ten Rings.

In other words, she only needs to find the canyon where the Ten Rings are located to find Tony Stark.

Time passed slowly, and four days flew by in the blink of an eye.

Tony Stark has successfully built a small cold fusion reactor, also known as the Arc Reactor.

Meanwhile, through continuous investigation and searching, Sharon Carter finally located the Ten Rings' location where Tony Stark was being held.

Sharon Carter led a rapid armed response force to raid the Ten Rings in the valley.

Tony, who was forging iron, suddenly heard gunshots outside.

"Ethan, did you hear gunshots outside?" Tony asked excitedly, grabbing Ethan's arm, thinking someone had come to rescue him.

Ethan calmly reassured him, "Tony, calm down. It's also possible that the Ten Rings have encountered other terrorist organizations."

Ethan put down his tools and locked the door behind him. "This isn't our war. We just need to wait and see who wins."

Tony: "..."

As the gunshots gradually subsided, both men nervously stared at the tightly closed iron gate.

Now is the time to decide our fate.

Ethan hopes the Ten Rings will win, as that would bring stability, since they now have a way to break out.

Tony hoped that his rescuers would come, even though he had seen many weapons produced by his own company in the valley. As a patriot, Tony still believed that his friends in the military would come to his rescue.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Tony Stark! Open the door if you hear me, we're here to rescue you!"

After shouting, Sharon Carter looked at the still-closed iron gate, sighed, and then said to her companion beside her, "Prepare for a safe demolition."

As soon as Sharon Carter finished speaking, the tightly closed iron gate opened.

Tony Stark emerged nervously from inside, only letting out a heavy sigh of relief upon seeing Sharon Carter and the Rapid Response Team behind her.

Each soldier is equipped with professional tactical gear; terrorists in remote, impoverished areas cannot afford such luxurious equipment.

"You don't seem to be from the regular army?" Tony probed.

Sharon Katie nodded: "You can think of us as the FBI."

"Okay, I think I know who you are, the CIA, right?" Tony asked confidently.

The CIA is America's foreign intelligence agency, and given its capabilities, it's normal for them to be able to find us.

Sharon Carter knew this wasn't the time for reminiscing, so she urged, "We're here to rescue you. If there's nothing else, we need to get out of here quickly, or the commotion will attract other forces."

"Wait, take my friend with you." Tony pointed to Ethan following behind him, then added seriously, "And while you're at it, help blow up everything in this place. Don't leave my weapons to those terrorists."

Sharon Carter then nodded to the armed forces behind her.

Such tasks are naturally left to subordinates.

Realizing that the beautiful woman before him was the commander, Tony asked, "By the way, I still don't know your name, beautiful lady?"

"Sharon Carter, you must have heard of me?" Sharon Carter said.

Sharon...Carter...Carter!

Tony, with his excellent memory, quickly recalled that pointless social gathering eight years ago.

It seems he was forced to participate in a little girl's coming-of-age ceremony.

Tony chuckled, "Sharon from the Carter family, right? Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you've indeed joined the intelligence department."

"It's rare that you still remember me." Sharon Carter nodded with satisfaction.

The Carter and Stark families are longtime friends, and they also have many business dealings with each other.

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Tony's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He remembered Sharon Carter because he found no joy at that party.

Tony said bluntly, "Thank you for your help. If possible, please tell me the name of your department. I can write you a letter of recommendation or other support."

This was already a great show of sincerity for Tony; at least he thanked the other party and expressed his willingness to reciprocate.

"Homeland Strategic Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency, you'll soon know this department," Sharon Carter said decisively, giving the name S.H.I.E.L.D.

She had already investigated Tony's personality before she arrived, so Sharon Carter, who was mentally prepared, wasn't angry at Tony's arrogant nature.

…………

Queens, New York.

Mark looked at the news on the screen and felt like the sky had fallen.

What the heck is this about Tony Stark being rescued? In the original storyline, Tony Stark was imprisoned for nearly three months before being found.

If my timeline is correct, it's been less than five days since Tony Stark went missing, right?

In such a short time, let alone Iron Man armor, Tony Stark probably hasn't even built the Arc Reactor yet, right?

If we disregard the possibility that he didn't fight his way out, then there's only one possibility left—someone rescued Tony Stark beforehand.

Mark immediately thought of Sharon Carter, because he had always felt that Sharon Carter was rather strange.

The plot took another turn, making Mark realize once again the inconsistencies in the world.

In the Marvel Universe, the precognition of time travelers isn't actually a particularly powerful cheat code.

After all, there are plenty of people in the Marvel Universe who know the future timeline, and some can even travel through time. Add to that all sorts of messy parallel universes, and the advantage of knowing the plot can be cut again and again.

For example, right now.

Fortunately, he didn't play the stock market, otherwise he would have been one of those people jumping off the roof.
