Chapter 9 Dinner

Evening, in the basement laboratory of Stark's mansion.

Tony rubbed his palm on his chin and stared at his Mark Armor.

He has been in this state for a long time.

Lyon was struggling to hold back his smile beside him.

"So, why did you dye it pink?" Tony finally spoke, pointing at the Mark Armor that had turned into a girlish pink color with a blank expression.

"This." Lyon instantly put away his smile, put his hands behind his back and said seriously.

"This is a surprise that Jarvis carefully prepared for you."

He stepped forward and pointed to the position on the chest of the armor where the energy core was placed.

There was a small circle of faint English engraved on it.

Lyon read it out: "Tony has a pink heart."

He winked at Tony: "How about it, are you very touched? Pink represents innocence and kindness. Jarvis is praising you."

"Huh, thank you for your clarification, otherwise I really wouldn't have thought of it." Tony pursed his lips and sneered.

His face turned black, and he couldn't believe how "beautiful" it would be to put on this armor again.

I'm afraid that before he can make a move, the enemy will see the circle of English on his chest and will die of laughter on the spot, even saving ammunition.

Tony took a deep breath, some words stuck in his chest and couldn't be said, and his face turned slightly red.

Lyon looked at Tony's wonderful expression change and almost couldn't help laughing.

Finally, Tony turned his head away and stopped looking at his precious armor.

"Jarvis, why dye it pink?" Tony asked another main culprit.

He really liked his first set of armor and even called it "her".

"Sir, this is the suggestion of Master Lyon. He said that you will be happier when you see the repaired and dyed pink armor." Jarvis seemed to be explaining, but he was actually secretly complaining.

"Oh, wait, Jarvis, you didn't object at the time. We all thought so, didn't we?" Lyon dragged Jarvis into the water.

"Master Leon, please forgive my offense. You know that artificial intelligence has no thoughts of its own."

"Only artificial idiots have no thoughts. Jarvis, you always remind Tony when he makes an appointment with a cover girl that Pepper will be angry. It's normal to want to prepare a surprise for Tony now."

Tony's face became more and more ugly.

"Enough!" He shouted, and glanced helplessly at Leon who had already laughed out loud, "Don't think I don't know you are taking revenge."

Lyon did not refute: "So you also know that it is wrong for me to run back to the cave and carry the armor back for you?"

Tony spread his hands: "Okay, okay, I admit defeat, this matter ends here. Okay, I'm not angry, and you don't torture me because of that little thing anymore."

Tony has been tortured by Leon for more than ten years.

He has become accustomed to the self-emotional regulation that is necessary when facing "naughty" children as a guardian.

Of course, this naughtiness is only Tony's own feeling. In the eyes of others, Leon is very good.

For example, when he was a child, Leon hated Tony for always bringing new cover girls home.

He had played Tony's love words to other girls at the loudest volume outside the door several times when Tony was about to take up his gun and mount his horse.

Then he waited for the girl who was hugging Tony to get angry and slam the door and leave.

He popped out from the corner and waved his little hand and said, "Good night, sweet dreams tonight Tony."

So Tony blushed on the spot and chased Leon around the room with a pillow.

And Pepper was so happy to give Leon a lot of pocket money on the spot after hearing Tony's complaints the next day.

However, Leon only did this for half a month.

Because half a month later, Tony's new custom-made soundproof bedroom was completed.

After that, even if Leon was dancing outside the house, Tony could play a Mozak in the house to create a quiet atmosphere and spend a good night with the beauty.

Similar "fights".

The two started when Leon was three years old and continued until he started to ask girls home after he entered high school.

On the night when Leon took the girl home for the first time, the two brothers, one big and one small, looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

So the two brothers reached a reconciliation.

However, the "fight" in other aspects did not stop.

Sometimes Tony made trouble for Leon, and sometimes Leon took the initiative.

Pepper's evaluation was that these were two children who never grew up.

"Jarvis, put this armor away and repaint it for me, otherwise I don't want to see her again."

Tony waved his hand: "By the way, help me purchase a batch of materials, I want to build a new armor."

"The conditions in the cave are simple, and the armor made can't show my strength. Leon, this time I will definitely let you see that my armor is not a "toy"!"

Leon shrugged indifferently: "It's up to you, I'll wait and see."

At this time, Dai Dai and Ben Ben, several intelligent mechanical arms in the laboratory came over and pushed the pink armor out together.

Leon even helped.

He asked Jarvis to spray the armor with powder paint just to tease Tony, but he didn't think that Tony could really wear it.

But what he didn't expect was that when he visited Tony's armor collection room ten years later.

This armor with the most bizarre style was displayed at the forefront of Tony's Mark armor.

"Are we going to start making armor now?"

When Leon looked back.

Tony did what he said, and he had cleared the table with a slap, ready to start a new round of work.

"Are you so impatient to prove yourself now?"

"Watch your words, Leon. Tony doesn't need to prove himself. He only challenges himself." Tony said.

"Okay, then when you challenge yourself, remember to come up before dinner."

Leon walked towards the stairs of the laboratory.

"To celebrate your safe escape, Pepper plans to hold a family party. Ethan and Rod will come."

Rod is Tony's good friend in the military. In the movie, their relationship is so good that they can give each other the Iron Man suit.

"Only a few of us? No problem, as long as I'm not cooking, everything is acceptable." Tony replied without raising his head.

Since the last time he cooked the grilled sea bass, it was all charcoal, and Leon laughed at him for a long time, he vowed never to enter the kitchen again.

After Pepper solved the mess Tony left at the press conference, she rushed to the mansion.

She excitedly hugged Leon gently in the hall.

"Leon! Oh my God, I couldn't believe Tony when he said you were back. The Mark Spacecraft was still flying outside the Earth!"

Tony named the spaceship he built by himself the Mark Spacecraft.

"You actually flew back by yourself! It's incredible!"

"Wow, my God, your body is really strong now. You are no longer the kid who was only as tall as my waist when you were young!"

Pepper patted Leon's chest, and the marble-like texture made her cover her mouth and exclaim.

"If I had known you were so strong, I would have contacted you a few months ago, so Tony wouldn't have to..." As she spoke, she felt a little guilty.

Leon hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, Pepper, you are afraid that I will worry, right?"

"If I hadn't become as strong as Superman, even if you told me the news of Tony's disappearance, I would have been at a loss in the lonely universe."

If you say that Tony is both a brother and a half-old man to Leon.

Pepper, who brought him up since childhood, can be regarded as half a sister and half a foster mother.

Lyon blinked his eyes and said, "Besides, although the process was a bit tortuous, for Tony, since he survived the disaster, it is not necessarily a bad thing, right?"

"You think so? But I think he has become a little irrational." Pepper frowned.

"Maybe you don't know Tony well enough after his near-death experience."

Lyon pushed Pepper to the kitchen: "Come on, Pepper, you still have to trouble me to cook dinner, I will tell you about Tony's wonderful adventure this time."

A few hours later.

The dinner party ended successfully with all the guests enjoying it.

Through Tony's introduction, Ethan met Pepper and Rhodes, and successfully integrated into this small circle.

For a long time in the future, Ethan will work in Stark's R&D department and do what he wants to do.

And Tony also explained his idea of ​​doing something more beneficial to the world at the table.

Unfortunately, Rhodes did not understand it very well for the time being.
