American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Tony, who had already confirmed his relationship with Pepper, was extremely pleased with himself.

As the saying goes, "A happy occasion makes one feel refreshed."

He had only been inside Mike's villa for a short time when he felt an immense sense of malice, as if he were being watched by a ferocious beast.

His smile froze on his face.

However, when he looked around, he found nothing unusual.

The Scarlet Witch, who kept her merits and fame hidden, had already looked away.

"What's going on?" Tony, still confused, scratched his head, looking a little suspicious.

“Even if you and Ms. Pepper are officially dating, you should still be careful to be moderate.” Mike shook his head, practically throwing “you’re so weak” in Tony’s face. “By the way, what brings you here? No need for thanks.”

Mike didn't actually help much with the previous terrorist attacks.

Its main function is to provide a safety net.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm perfectly healthy." Tony, with dark circles under his eyes, defended himself, then continued, "The main reason I came here is to invite you to my place for a meal..."

Here we go again, with that same heart-stopping feeling.

The mention of inviting Mike to Stark Tower brought back Tony's unease, making his hair stand on end.

However, having already started speaking, Tony braced himself and continued, "Mainly because Pepper personally cooked a big meal to thank you."

"Oh, right, Wanda and Moritz, Pepper also invited you to come along."

Although Tony was a playboy, he has gradually transformed into a good man after having a serious girlfriend.

Moreover, this invitation was just a perfectly normal family dinner.

There's nothing shameful about it.

It would be perfect for Mike to bring his family to attend.

"You actually host family parties?" Chloe was skeptical of Tony's change.

After all, this person has too many criminal records.

Meanwhile, Scarlet Witch had already started packing, preparing to go out with Mike.

This also caused Tony's discomfort to disappear by more than half.

After Hit-Girl got dressed, the group followed Tony to Stark Tower, which was not far away.

"So she really just came here for a casual meal~" As soon as she entered the building, HitGirl started looking around like a detective.

Surprisingly, the cover girl was nowhere to be found.

"I'm here to formally inform you that the playboy is a thing of the past. I'm a good man now." Knowing what Hit-Girl was thinking, Tony went to Pepper's side and put his arm around her waist.

They condemned HitGirl.

That happy look on his face had a hint of showing off.

"Cut~"

Old habits die hard, and Hit-Girl still holds a negative attitude towards Tony.

However, given the other party's confident assertions, it's worth observing them further.

Beside Tony, Pepper, also dressed casually at home, was smiling and greeting Mike and Scarlet Witch like a housewife.

Hit-Girl's nitpicking behavior was treated as childish play by her.

I didn't take it too seriously.

Then everyone got to enjoy Pepper's cooking skills.

All I can say is that the sentiment was there.

Pepper Potts, who has always presented herself as a strong woman, is not even as good at cooking as Scarlet Witch.

But it's understandable.

The people present weren't there for the taste. A home-cooked meal with a touch of warmth and a few imperfections actually made them feel especially at ease.

It felt a bit like home.

"So, what brings you here?" Mike asked Tony after the meal.

As for the other three ladies, they had already gone to the side and started whispering to each other.

The relationship developed unexpectedly well.

"You noticed all that?" Tony remarked. "Two things. First, I'd like to ask you to help remove the shrapnel from my chest and the nuclear reactor..."

After experiencing numerous events, Tony gradually emerged from the shadow of the attack in Afghanistan and was no longer as obsessed with the identity of "Iron Man" as before.

Without relying on external aids, he has regained the self-confidence that a genius should have.

Moreover, having already established a relationship with Pepper, he also wanted to continue the relationship as a normal person.

Most importantly, with the upgrades to the Iron Man armor, Tony now has alternatives such as control bracelets to control the armor, so he no longer needs the nuclear reactor on his chest.

Even the energy device on his chest has become his weakness.

“It’s a minor issue; the problem you have is easily resolved.” Mike nodded, signaling the other person to continue.

Mike possesses healing and resurrection abilities, capable of bringing the dead back to life.

Tony's minor injuries were nothing to worry about.

"The second thing is about the Extremis virus in Pepper's body. I tested it last night, and that gene serum is very unstable and could be destroyed at any time..." Tony said solemnly, "If possible, I hope you can help Pepper get rid of the Extremis virus in her body."

"I know this will be difficult, so consider this me owing you two big favors. From now on, no matter what you need, I'll be there for you."

The Extremis virus can cause users to explode, something Tony has already experienced firsthand.

Worried about Pepper's safety, he has been researching a cure for the Extremis virus since he returned yesterday.

But it's difficult.

Even if Tony is a genius, it would take him a very long time to develop an antidote.

This period will undoubtedly be very dangerous for Pepper.

Therefore, Tony thought of asking his "all-powerful" friend Mike for help.

"Treatment for the Extremis Virus is simple!"

The problems that troubled Tony were just minor issues for Mike, and he could solve them easily.

So, after Tony excitedly called Pepper over, Mike casually condensed two orbs of holy light and merged them into the two of them respectively.

Tony's power is purely healing, while Pepper's power is combined with a little purification.

As the holy light merged in, the energy block in Tony's chest was slowly squeezed out little by little, and then several small shrapnel pieces rolled out from the wound.

After the excruciating pain, there was a tingling, itchy sensation.

And Tony, with the fist-sized gash on his chest, slowly grew new flesh under this intense itching.

"Perfect~"

Seeing his wounds heal, Tony, covered in sweat, wore a relieved smile.

It's been so long since I've felt this way, like a normal person.

After the initial surprise, Tony looked at Pepper, who seemed unchanged, and asked with concern, "Pepper, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

“Me? I feel like I’ve been soaking in a hot spring; I can’t feel that violent energy in my body anymore. However, it seems like my physical constitution has been preserved.” Pepper also smiled.

Although she enjoyed the feeling of power, the fact that the Extremis virus could self-destruct was also a heavy burden on Pepper.

Now, although Pepper has lost the ability to breathe fire, he has indeed retained some of the physical enhancements from the Extremis virus.

The intensity is about twice that of a normal person.

In other words, Tony's future sexual happiness is now secured.

Afterwards, the two, now fully recovered, thanked Mike again.

As she watched the three leave, Pepper gave Scarlet Witch and Hit-Girl a bunch of gifts as a symbol of friendship.

He also invited Mike and his two companions to visit Stark Tower whenever they had free time.

……

Chapter 685 Christmas Mutual Benefit

Merry Christmas!

With Christmas approaching, Mike's villa became exceptionally lively.

Because of Quicksilver and Hit-Girl, Mike was able to invite a group of street heroes, including Big Daddy, to come and celebrate Christmas together.

Apart from the Punisher, who was all alone, most of the others brought their families with them.

Spider-Man is accompanied by Aunt May, Big Daddy, and Hit-Girl.

Deadpool brought his wife, while Ant-Man Scott brought his young daughter.

It's worth mentioning that this little girl isn't much older than Hit-Girl, and the two get along very well.

Even Daredevil, with his roguish appearance, brought along his friend and partner, Nelson.

As it turns out, apart from the Punisher being a true "Avenger," the other street heroes all have their own lives.

With Mike having plenty of money, the Christmas tree in the villa's hall was piled high with gift boxes to entertain guests.

There are very practical everyday gifts, as well as expensive luxury items.

Which one you get depends entirely on luck.

It was a little surprise for Christmas.

"OMG!!! It's a gold watch, a gold watch!"

"Guardian, I love you to death!!!"

"..."

After Deadpool accidentally unearthed a Tissot gold watch, his distinctive shouts instantly filled the room.

A mixture of surprise and pride.

Afterwards, he put on a gold watch and showed it off to everyone, not even sparing a kid like Chloe Grace Moretz.

All I can say is that Deadpool, with his overflowing chatterbox nature, has a unique talent for creating a lively atmosphere.

"Vanessa, just tell me what gift you want. I'll open it for you!"

Having satisfied his desire to show off, Deadpool finally returned to his wife's side, his pride tinged with tenderness.

"I'm fine with anything~" Vanessa smiled as she watched her husband goofing around.

After proper treatment, her complexion is now no different from that of a normal person.

It's clear she's a very intellectual woman.

"Oh, everyone's here. Luckily I was well-prepared..."

Accompanied by the sound, Tony, with the air of a wealthy man, ostentatiously walked into the villa.

He was accompanied by Pepper and Colonel Rhodes.

The three of them were carrying a large number of gifts.

Clearly, Tony was prepared and knew that the street heroes were gathered here for Christmas.

The gift he brought was a way of thanking the street heroes for their help during the previous terrorist attacks.

This shows that Tony is never stingy with his friends.

As for the other little guy who had been a great help, Tony had already sent a gift to Tennessee before he arrived.

An exquisite crystal ball, and a life-size toy suit of armor.

Why are they toy armors?

This is because Harry is still too young, and Tony is afraid that he won't be able to handle him.

When the recipient is older, perhaps they will receive a real Iron Man suit.
