He could only call Tony's friend Rhodes every three days to inquire about the situation, and strengthen the security around himself and Sherlock.
It wasn't until nearly a week later, when Obadiah Stane initiated the board of directors and wanted to elect himself as the new director of Stark Industries that Pepper began to have a little doubt about Tony's long-time uncle. .
Obadiah Stane is suspected to be the mastermind behind this.
But there is no evidence, and Obadiah Stane's behavior of wanting to be a director is also a normal behavior in business. After all, Stark Industries' shares have been falling until now.
As a member of the board of directors, it is normal for Obadiah Stane to not want to see the company decline.
Although Obadiah Stane spoke to the board of directors and described a very good prospect, the members of the board of directors obviously did not like Obadiah Stane's words, which also led to everyone's final decision. Parted on bad terms.
As Tony's heir, Sherlock, who sat behind Pepper and entrusted Pepper with full authority to handle affairs, even saw a hint of sinister expression in Obadiah Stane's dark expression.
Chapter 9 Snake Shield and Tony’s Return
Of course Sherlock could see Pepper's sadness, even though it had done its best to comfort its future aunt and repeatedly assured Tony that nothing would be wrong with the Jedi.
But in reality, little effect has been achieved. Little Pepper is almost visibly looking more and more haggard day by day, and her voice in the company is also decreasing day by day.
In contrast, although Obadiah Stane was frustrated on the board of directors, his power within the company was actually increasing, and at one point he was on par with, or even surpassed, Pepper Potts. Degree.
And one day, half a month after that board meeting, news came out on TV that an unusually large explosion broke out in a valley in Afghanistan.
After the military went to investigate, they discovered that this was a rebel base.
Sherlock felt more and more settled after seeing the news. It seemed that his appearance did not trigger any butterfly effect. Tony still managed to escape from the cave by swinging a sledgehammer.
It is estimated that in a few days, Colonel Rhodes will find the escaped Tony and bring the most famous genius in the Marvel world back to Pepper Potts.
However, what Sherlock didn't expect was that the first person to find Pepper was not someone from the military, but Phil Coulson, a good old man from Snake and Shield.
Looking at this good old man who is almost famous in the Marvel movie world, the most famous agent of Black Braised Egg, and the guide for novices in countless fan works, Sherlock almost couldn't help but go forward and ask for an autograph. of.
Of course, as an "ordinary person" who has never shown that he is special, although Phil Coulson was puzzled by Sherlock's eyes that seemed to be very familiar with him, he did not ask further questions and simply talked to the two of them. Introduced myself.
Then he took out a stack of documents to prove that he had found clues about Stark. At first, Pepper thought that this guy was here to collect the reward, and immediately wanted to transfer money to Phil Coulson.
However, Phil Coulson refused with a wry smile, and said that he was here to assist Pepper Potts as a public official.
Regarding Phil Coulson's statement, Sherlock just curled his lips and said nothing. Although Phil Coulson did not tell the truth, it is even possible that SHIELD came to investigate Tony because he was hungry. How to escape from that base.
But after all, keeping his identity there is also a guarantee for Little Pepper's safety, so Sherlock naturally has no objections.
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. Just three days later, Rhodes called Pepper and informed him that he had found Tony lying in the desert. At this time, Tony was on the plane returning to the base.
This made Pepper almost cry with joy. She was about to fly to Afghanistan to find Tony. Sherlock and Phil Coulson talked hard before making Pepper change her mind and wait for Tony to come back at the airport.
Early the next morning, Sherlock was pulled up from the bed by Pepper, who was still asleep, and kept urging Sherlock to wash up quickly, as Tony would be back soon.
Sherlock could only move faster because he was full of anger, and then he was put into the car by Pepper and Phil Coulson in a daze and set off towards the airport.
However, in fact, after the few people arrived at the airport, Tony's private plane from Afghanistan did not arrive at the airport. Sherlock even felt that he had fallen asleep for a long time before he was woken up.
Following everyone to the tarmac, Sherlock watched as a plane landed steadily and then stopped not far from everyone.
After the corridor bridge connected to the plane, a slightly embarrassed Tony walked out of the plane. This was the second time Sherlock saw his cheap uncle.
Compared to the arrogant and narcissistic look he showed Sherlock when they first met, Tony was more calm at this time, and the arrogance in his eyes disappeared completely.
In addition, although he had obviously cleaned up, he still looked a little embarrassed, which made Sherlock feel less annoying like it was the first time they met.
After Tony dismissed Phil Coulson who came up to him and wanted to talk to him, and hugged his beloved Pepper, he turned his attention to Sherlock who was standing behind everyone.
"I didn't expect you to come too, my dear nephew."
The moment he faced Sherlock, Tony seemed to have turned back into the arrogant and arrogant playboy he was at the beginning.
Sherlock could tell that Tony didn't mean any harm without even using Legilimency. Although Tony disguised himself well enough, the plain look in his eyes directly betrayed Tony's thoughts.
Just when Sherlock was about to say something, Pepper gently pulled Tony from behind, frowned at Tony and shook his head.
Seeing Pepper's expression, Tony seemed to understand something immediately. He turned to look at Pepper and asked in a low voice with some confusion.
"Have you told anyone else about my relationship with this kid?"
In response to Tony's question, Little Pepper could only nodded and then answered Tony's question in a low voice.
"It can't be helped. As your sole heir, I contacted him after you disappeared."
Pepper was smart enough not to tell Tony about the abnormality she noticed, and just explained the superficial situation.
Hearing Pepper's acknowledgment, Tony's originally disguised playboy image disappeared without a trace, and then he looked at Sherlock again and said seriously.
"Okay, let me reintroduce you, little one. I'm your uncle, Tony Stark."
Looking at Tony's appearance, Sherlock rolled his eyes angrily and mercilessly complained about Muggles.
Then he looked at Pepper, who was standing behind Tony, and said.
"Okay, my dear Aunt Pepper, now that Tony is back, I'm going home. You know, I haven't been back to my gun shop for a long time."
After saying that, he ignored the fuss made by Little Pepper, turned around and walked out of the airport, intending to find a deserted corner to experiment with his apparation, and then drive his big Raptor back to the place he longed for. In a gun shop.
When he left, he didn't forget to pat Phil Coulson, who was frustrated, and signaled him to keep working hard.
After hearing Sherlock's words, everyone present looked at Tony and Pepper, who were standing in the middle, with strange eyes. Surprisingly, as a playboy, Tony did not object to Sherlock. That joke.
Until everyone got on the bus, everyone looked like they had eaten something big.
The only exceptions are Pepper and Tony.
Chapter 10 The truth back then
It wasn't until Tony and Pepper were sitting alone in the car that Pepper gradually returned to normal. With a worried expression, she looked at Tony who was sitting silently in the car. After thinking about this for a long time, Then he spoke.
"Tony, I think you don't have to continue pretending to be a playboy and make Sherlock hate you and stay away from you. He is not a child anymore. You can't overprotect him like this."
Pepper felt that since Sherlock just called her aunt, she couldn't be ashamed of Sherlock's call just now. It was time to correct some of Tony's ideas.
Listening to Pepper's words, Tony couldn't help but frown, and then answered Pepper's words worriedly.
"Well, I'm still worried, Pepper. You know, people around me who are close to me will not end up well, my father and mother are like this.
The same goes for the parents of Sherlock's child. I'm really worried that Sherlock will end up in the same dismal ending as my relatives. "
Regarding Tony's words, Little Pepper felt distressed and quite helpless, so she could only hold Tony's hand and comfort her very seriously.
"No, Tony, Sherlock is your only blood relative, and you should not treat him like that, either emotionally or rationally.
And this child has grown up. I investigated the experience of Sherlock during the time you were missing. To be honest, his uncles taught him very well.
I think you may not be able to defeat that child in a head-on confrontation, and as the child of Jerry and Zhang, I think Sherlock has the right to know the truth about his parents, right? "
After listening to Pepper's words, Tony retorted with some dissatisfaction and jealousy.
"What kind of ecstasy soup did that bastard give you? I can take care of that boy with one hand!"
Seeing Pepper's serious and caring expression, Tony, who finally wanted to fish in troubled waters, could only be defeated. After sighing helplessly, he said seriously.
"Okay, you're right, I'll talk to the kid some time, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to eat a cheeseburger right now! Pepper, help me before I talk to the kid Prepare for a press conference and two cheeseburgers, okay?”
After listening to Tony's words, Pepper, who originally wanted to take Tony to the hospital, could only give up the idea temporarily, sighed helplessly and agreed to Tony's request.
Then, Pepper seemed to have thought of something, and then looked at Tony again, with a strange expression on his face and continued.
"Oh, by the way, one more thing. Sherlock left you a gift in your villa. Trust me, don't open the gift Sherlock left for you in a crowded place."
After finishing speaking, he ignored the question mark on Tony's forehead. No matter how much Tony pressed him, he didn't answer any of Tony's questions. He turned around to arrange Tony's press conference and cheeseburger.
Until the evening, after holding the press conference to end the Stark Group's weapons manufacturing and being dragged by Pepper to the hospital for a full body check-up, Tony returned to his villa.
Only then did Tony understand why Pepper told him not to open the gift left by Sherlock in a crowded place.
According to Jarvis' recollection, Tony's cursing lasted for nearly half an hour that night.
Early the next morning, Sherlock lazily got up as usual, opened the door of the gun shop, said hello to his uncles who liked cosplay as usual, and came to the store behind his cashier. When I casually pulled out a magic notebook from the recliner and started reading it.
A harsh V8 roar began to sound from far to near, and along with the sound of brakes, the door of the gun shop was pushed open, and it was Tony holding a large box.
Angrily throwing the big box on the checkout counter, Sherlock glanced curiously at the big box Tony was holding. It was full of SSDs, which are solid-state drives.
Seeing Sherlock's confused look, Tony said angrily.
"Your gift will be returned to you. Please don't ask Jarvis to do such vulgar things in the future."
In response to Tony's request, Sherlock just rolled his eyes angrily, and then lay down on the recliner holding the notes in his hand.
"Come on, my dear uncle, I don't have access to these. Compared to me, I think you can try it at the party. It's definitely worth the money."
In response to Sherlock's teasing, Tony could only sigh helplessly, put the hard drive aside for the time being, and then looked at Sherlock and said.
"Okay, okay, petty things aside, Sherlock, I think I need to talk to you."
Sherlock did not refuse Tony's request. He stood up and closed the notes in his hand. With a flick, the notes in his hand disappeared without a trace.
Tony looked at Sherlock's hand with some surprise, but didn't say much.
Led by Sherlock, the two came to the living room where Sherlock lived upstairs. After giving Tony a glass of water, Tony explained to Sherlock what he had done before.
In fact, it is very simple. On the one hand, Tony is worried that Sherlock will suffer the same misfortune as his other relatives if he stays with him.
On the other hand, the experiences of Tony's parents and Sherlock's parents made Tony more determined to make this decision, so he handed the then young Sherlock to the group of uncles who liked cosplay, and showed an arrogant and conceited look in front of Sherlock to keep Sherlock away from him.
Sherlock said he didn't care about anything else, except when Tony said that Sherlock's parents were shot to death like Tony's parents, Sherlock felt an unknown anger rising from his heart.
It was obvious that the parents of this body had already ascended to heaven when he traveled through time, and according to his own memory, the original body always believed that his parents died in a car accident.
Charles understood this nameless anger as the obsession left behind by his original body. He took a deep breath for a while and then managed to suppress his nameless anger.
However, Sherlock understood Tony's behavior. After all, Sherlock, who had watched the movie, also knew that Tony liked to shoulder everything by himself.
After understanding the whole story, looking at Tony who was still covered in scars, Sherlock no longer felt the disgust he had when looking at playboys in the past.
After thinking for a long time, before Tony left, he gave him a bottle of white moss medicine to treat trauma, and told Tony how to use it, as well as the unpredictable "side effects".
As for whether Tony uses it or not, that is beyond Sherlock's control.
Chapter 11 Magical Potion
After seeing Tony off, Sherlock returned to the recliner behind the cashier, thinking about who killed his parents.
After all, if you can attack the original parent, you can definitely attack yourself. And the most important thing is that Tony, the richest man in the United States, has not found any clues until now. This is the most troublesome point.
Sherlock lay on the recliner with a headache, holding his head and thinking about what would happen next. The magic notes were casually covered on his face. From a distance, it looked like Sherlock was taking a nap.
On the other side, Tony also had a headache. The reason for his headache was the bottle of magic potion that Sherlock had just sent. At this time, the bottle of magic potion was lying quietly on the passenger seat of Tony's favorite sports car.
To be honest, Tony believed that the so-called potion sent by Sherlock would have the effect of healing wounds, but Tony absolutely did not believe that this bottle of potion would have the magical and fast effect that Sherlock said.
Even the so-called side effects that Sherlock didn't explain clearly seemed more like Sherlock's revenge to Tony.
After all, the relationship between the two is very strange now. Speaking of trust, the family relationship derived from blood can make Tony and Sherlock absolutely trust each other.
To be honest, the two of them had been playing pranks on each other since Sherlock attended Tony's party.
Even Tony at this time is more willing to believe that Sherlock's so-called side effects may be caused by the useless human tissue he found in the bottle after drinking the bottle of medicine, that is, something like big nose. Severe nausea.
But speaking of it, Tony was indeed tortured almost crazy by the small wounds on his body. After all, he had decided to update the suit of armor he had built in the cave.
The wounds on this body can be said to be like toads jumping on the insteps. If they don't bite, they will be very annoying.
Every time he thought about this, Tony couldn't help but have the urge to drink up the potion Sherlock gave him.
The only thing that reassured Tony was that this morning, he updated the Ark reactor on his chest through the industrial equipment in the villa with the help of Pepper.
This can be regarded as a complete farewell to the experience in the cave. Every time he thinks of this, Tony can't help but feel sad for his comrade Ethan in the cave.
As a warrior, Ethan fell in the darkness before dawn. This alone was enough for Tony to remember the name Ethan for a lifetime.
With the roar of the sports car, Tony finally returned to his big villa. Picking up the potion on the passenger seat, Tony strode directly to his studio.
After placing the potion on the table, Tony poured himself a glass of whiskey and then began to give Jarvis a series of orders.
"Jarvis, scan this bottle of medicine from my dearest nephew. I want to know all the ingredients in it, mainly to detect the biological activity in it. Now I have begun to wonder if this kid is secretly adding ingredients.
Then I projected the drawings of Mark 1. I thought it was time to optimize my armor. "
"Ok sir."
After hearing Tony's order, the originally spacious studio that looked like an ordinary garage began to look sci-fi the next second.
As Jarvis faithfully executed Tony's orders, 3D projections began to appear around Tony and the bottle of potion.
