Chapter 9

In the evening, in the basement laboratory of Stark's mansion,

Tony rubbed his chin with his palm, staring at his Mark Armor.

He has been in this state for a long time.

Lyon was beside him, trying hard to hold back his smile.

"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." Leon immediately put away his smile, put his hands behind his back and said seriously.

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

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

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

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

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

"Humph, thank you for clearing up my confusion, 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 suit of armor again.

He was afraid that before he could make a move, the enemy would see the circle of English on his chest and would 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 he was holding it in so that his face turned slightly red.

Leon looked at Tony's wonderful expression change and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

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

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

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

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

"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 does not have its own thoughts"

"Only artificial idiots have no thoughts. Jarvis, you reminded Tony when he was dating Cover Girl that Pepper would be angry. It's normal for you to prepare a surprise for Tony now."

Tony's face became more and more ugly

""Enough!" he shouted, and glanced helplessly at Leon who was already laughing,"Don't think I don't know you are taking revenge."

Leon didn't 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 give up, this matter ends here, okay, I'm not angry, and don't torture me because of that little thing anymore."

Tony has been tortured by Leon for more than a decade.

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

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

For example, when Tony was a child, Leon hated that Tony always brought new cover girls home.

Several times when Tony was about to take up his gun and mount his horse, he played the love words Tony had said to other girls at the loudest volume outside the door.

Then the girl who was hugging Tony became angry and slammed the door and left.

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

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

And after listening to Tony's complaints the next day, Pepper was so happy that she stuffed a lot of pocket money into Leon's pocket.

But Leon only did this for half a month.

Because half a month later, Tony's newly customized 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 a beautiful woman.

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.

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

So the two brothers reached a reconciliation.

But the"fights" in other aspects did not stop.

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

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

"Jarvis, take this armor away and repaint it, or I don't want to see her again."

Tony waved his hand and said,"Please help me buy some materials. I want to build a new armor."

"The conditions in the cave are poor, and the armor I 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:"Whatever you say, I'll just 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 paint the armor just to tease Tony, but he never thought 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 the armor now?"

When Leon turned around again,

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

"Could it be that you can't wait to prove yourself now?"

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

"Well, 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 gathering, and Ethan and Rhodes will come."

Rhodes is Tony's good friend in the military, and their relationship is so good in the movie that he can give the Iron Man suit to him.

"Just the few of us? No problem, as long as I'm not the one cooking, everything is acceptable."Tony replied without even looking up.

Ever since the last time he cooked a sea bass that was all charred and Leon laughed at him for a long time, he vowed never to go into the kitchen again.

After Pepper cleaned up 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!"

The spacecraft Tony built himself was named the Mark Spacecraft.

"And you actually flew back by yourself! It's incredible!"

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

Pepper patted Leon's chest. The marble-like texture made her cover her mouth and exclaimed

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

Leon quickly comforted her:"It’s okay, Pepper, you’re also afraid that I’ll 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 Tony is both a brother and a half-old man to Leon, then Pepper, who brought him up since childhood, can be called half a sister and half a foster mother.

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

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

"That may be because you don't know Tony well enough after his near-death experience."

Leon pushed Pepper to the kitchen:"Come on, Pepper, you'll have to cook dinner, and I'll tell you about Tony's wonderful adventure this time."

A few hours later.

The dinner ended successfully with all the guests enjoying themselves.

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 dinner table.

Unfortunately, Rhodes didn't quite understand it for the time being.
