American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Seeing Pepper's concerned expression, Tony couldn't help but flirt again.

Yes, Tony confessed his feelings to Pepper to quell her suspicions.

After experiencing so much, Tony also realized that he couldn't live without his secretary.

This is an extremely rare thing for a playboy.

“What kind of time is this to be joking? Stark Industries has a lot of things waiting for you to come back and handle…” Pepper complained, but her tone was surprisingly gentle. She then said, “We need you.”

Does that include you?

"Yes, yes, that includes me too. But let's not talk about that now. Where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up right away..."

Good fortune may be the harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be the harbinger of good fortune.

A disaster unexpectedly led Tony and Pepper to reconcile.

"Where am I now? Let me see..."

After some flirting, Tony, in a good mood, looked around.

He then realized that he was sitting on the ice of a lake, surrounded by a vast expanse of white snow.

Further away, in the thin mist and the dim light of dusk, a few lights shone sparsely.

I could still faintly hear the sound of dogs barking...

What a beautiful pastoral scene!

However, that's not the main point. The main point is that there are no landmarks, and Tony doesn't know where he is at this moment.

“Let me think, where does the Malibu Strait flow through…” Fortunately, Tony still had a sharp mind. After some thought, he said, “I’m most likely in a small town outside of Virginia or Tennessee… I might need to ask the locals for the exact location…”

"Hey, can you hear me???"

"Damn!!!"

Tony, who was still communicating at the location, suddenly discovered that the armor's communication system had shut down due to a lack of power.

In other words, his previous words may not have been conveyed.

This terrible discovery inevitably made Tony irritable.

Then, the cold and hunger struck, making him realize the predicament he was facing.

Besides figuring out how to get back to Apple City, the most important thing to consider is finding a place to warm up, and preferably some food as well.

Otherwise, he might not have been able to make it through the night in such cold weather.

"I hope my luck won't be too bad~"

Having regained his strength, Tony, dragging his powerless Iron Man suit through the cold night wind, slowly made his way towards the nearby town.

……

“Miss Pepper, what did Mr. Tony say? Do you know where he is now?” Attorney Matt asked Pepper, who had been silent since finishing her call.

In the half-day following the terrorist attack on Tony, the street heroes he sponsored went to Marbury to help with the cleanup.

At least the panicked secretary was escorted from Marbury back to the safety of Stark Tower.

Afterwards, the resourceful street heroes used the weapons used by the terrorists to find the mastermind behind the attack—the Ten Rings Gang.

An underground gang hiding throughout Apple City.

Now, apart from Daredevil and Spider-Man protecting Pepper, all the other street heroes have taken advantage of the night to cause trouble for the Ten Rings.

This can be considered revenge for their sugar daddy.

It has to be said that Tony's previous generous sponsorship has finally paid off.

“Tony’s alright, but he seems to be in trouble. The call was just cut off, so I don’t know the specifics…” Pepper snapped out of her daze when asked, “Wait, let me ask Jarvis.”

"Jarvis, can you find out the exact location of Tony's previous call?"

[We are currently checking the location of Mr. Tony's call. It is located in the Scenic Lake area, a suburb in eastern Tennessee.]

“Mr. Matt, Tony is in Tennessee. Can you help me bring him back?” Pepper said. “You can offer whatever reward you want if you can get Tony back.”

“Calm down, Miss Pepper. Leave Mr. Tony's matter to us. You need to rest now.” Daredevil also heard the AI ​​assistant's reply.

However, it is already dark, and Tony's exact location has not yet been determined.

The only solution Daredevil could think of was to wait until dawn the next day, then take the street heroes to Tennessee for a thorough search.

I hope I can find Tony.

"Then I'll leave it to you~" Pepper was indeed very tired after experiencing the terrorist attack and running around all day.

After placing her hopes on the heroes on the streets, she went to her bedroom.

The woman who had come to see Tony earlier silently followed Pepper into the bedroom.

“You two seem to have a good relationship. This is the first time I’ve seen Tony care so much about a woman.” Once they were alone in the room, Maya’s face showed a hint of jealousy.

Maya Hansen, a brilliant geneticist and botanist, has been captivated by Tony’s exceptional talent for thirteen years.

Finally, she even offered herself to Tony's bed, hoping to get more of his attention.

However, the result was not ideal.

Even though they had a relationship, she was still nothing in Tony's eyes.

Seeing Tony so attentive to another woman, she naturally felt uncomfortable.

“I know you admire Tony, and I also know Tony has a flawed personality. Therefore, please allow me to apologize on his behalf.” Pepper, having begun to accept Tony’s imperfections, advised Maya with a tone of experience, “You are still young, and the future holds many possibilities. One day, you will meet someone who isn’t so fickle and still loves you…”

"Thank you for your words of comfort; I feel much better now." Maya walked around to Pepper's side, slowly took out a syringe, and said, "At the same time, I also want to say sorry to you."

As the anesthesia took effect, Pepper clutched her neck in surprise and turned to look at Maya, "You, it was you..."

At that moment, Pepper understood everything.

Why were the terrorists able to pinpoint Tony's location at Marbury's private villa?

"I forgot to tell you, I don't care about what happened thirteen years ago anymore." Maya watched Pepper slowly fall and said with a smile, "Now, I only care about my research. And, making that man regret it~"

The more she talked, the more ferocious the smile on Maya's face became.

Clearly, she wasn't as at peace with what happened thirteen years ago as she claimed.

Women understand women.

In this silent war, Pepper, who had won the final victory, wanted to laugh, but the anesthetic made her vision go black and she eventually fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 678 Extremist Virus

"I wonder how Mr. Tony is doing now? If Mr. Mike were here, he would definitely be able to bring Mr. Tony back safely..."

After watching Pepper go into her room, Daredevil and Spider-Man chose to stay in the living room to ensure the terrorists wouldn't return.

The oppressive atmosphere inevitably made the little spider start muttering to itself.

"Shh, quiet~" Daredevil, who was sitting on the sofa resting, suddenly made a shushing gesture.

"What's wrong?..." Thinking she had disturbed the other spider, she apologized, "Sorry, I get like this when I'm nervous. Did I talk too much...?"

Peter then noticed that Daredevil, who was wearing sunglasses late at night, seemed to have an unusually serious expression.

So he quickly covered his mouth, signaling that he would stop talking.

"Haven't you noticed how quiet it is?" Daredevil twitched his ears.

"Isn't it better to be quiet?" Spider-Man, who could finally speak again, felt much more at ease.

“That’s not what I meant.” Daredevil shook his head, about to explain, but then, as if remembering something, he immediately got up and walked towards Pepper’s room.

After knocking on the door a few times and receiving no response,

Without a second thought, Daredevil slammed the door open with all his might.

"Miss Pepper is missing!" Spider-Man, who had also come along, was surprised to find the room empty.

Meanwhile, Daredevil, with his superhuman senses, followed the scent in the room to the window.

"That woman named Maya is very likely in cahoots with terrorists..." Daredevil's expression gradually turned serious as he faced the cool breeze blowing in through the window.

If the Maya were also terrorists, then this incident would undoubtedly become even more complicated.

"How could that be? That means Miss Pepper is in danger..." Startled by Daredevil's guess, Spider-Man looked at the wide-open window and jumped out.

After several climbs, we reached the rooftop.

But in the thick darkness of the night, he noticed nothing.

In other words, Pepper, who was talking to everyone just a moment ago, has now completely disappeared.

There wasn't a trace...

Undeterred, Spider-Man continued chasing after them for a while, pulling on his webs, but still found nothing.

When he returned to the room dejectedly, he saw Daredevil holding a broken syringe in his hand.

“We’re in big trouble.” Daredevil, who smelled the Mayan scent on the syringe, became even more certain of his guess. He then said to Spider-Man, who had returned, “Get Deadpool and the others right away. It looks like our plans have to change.”

……

Meanwhile, Tony, who was in the suburbs of Tennessee, was quite lucky. Before he was about to freeze to death, he found an uninhabited container house.

He was saved on this cold, snowy night.

After forcibly opening the door, a messy pile of garbage came into view.

After finally managing to turn on the only light in the room, Tony discovered that although it was messy, it had everything he needed.

Most of the trash I saw before was recyclable, and it was clearly organized despite the mess.

Most importantly, Tony discovered the charging port, finally giving his Iron Man armor a place to recharge.

Later, Tony found some cheap food, such as sausages and bread, that were close to their expiration date on a cabinet that looked like a kitchen cabinet.

"We're saved!"

Although the environment here is terrible, it's definitely much better than when Tony was attacked in Afghanistan last time.

They come, the security.

After wolfing down the food that was about to expire, Tony, feeling full, found some old clothes in a pile of recyclable trash to put on and keep warm.

After glancing one last time at the armor charging nearby, Tony, exhausted from the day's work, lay down on the small wooden bed in the middle of the house and drifted off to sleep peacefully.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight shone on Tony's face.

Feeling an itch in his nose, he opened his eyes and was shocked to find a pistol pressed against his forehead.

This discovery nearly scared Tony out of his wits.

In a fit of stress, he quickly rolled to the ground, grabbed whatever was at hand, and prepared to fight back.

It was only then that Tony realized the person who had startled him earlier was actually a child of about ten years old.

The weapon the other party was holding was a toy gun.

"Who are you?" Tony awkwardly put down the plush teddy bear he had casually grabbed.

“I am Harry.” The child seemed startled by Tony’s series of actions before realizing that he was the one who belonged here.

Encouraged by the toy gun in his hand, Harry asked again in a serious tone, "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"

Besides the plush toys Tony had grabbed earlier, there were many other semi-discarded toys found in the container house.

These are all things that kids like.

This all suggests that this is Harry's little home.

"So this is your home. Looks like you're not doing so well..." Tony relaxed once he was sure the little guy was harmless.

Then, guessing that the child in front of him was probably an orphan, Tony didn't continue with his sarcastic remarks and changed the subject, saying, "As for who I am, I wonder if you've ever heard of Iron Man?"

“Iron Man, of course I know him. I’ve heard he’s a superhero who has saved many innocent civilians.” Harry is at the age where he idolizes heroes.

When talking about Iron Man's heroic deeds, his eyes seemed to sparkle.

"That's right, I am Iron Man Tony Stark." It feels great to be admired, especially when the other person is a cute kid.

Tony pointed with a hint of pride to the Iron Man suit charging beside him and said, "See that? That's my Iron Man suit."
