Marvel: The Rise of Little Iron Man

Malibu's night sky was torn apart by the roar of the helicopter.

The wind rolled up by the propeller made the palm trees by the sea sway wildly, as if to express dissatisfaction with the rough intruder.

Paul sat in the cabin, wearing noise-cancelling headphones, calmly watching the lights of the villa retreating outside the window.Tony Stark next to him looked restless, with his arms around his chest, and his handsome face was full of "Don't mess with me".

"I really don't understand. What's wrong with that guy named Colson? He has to get us out of the house in the middle of the night." Tony finally couldn't help complaining to the air, "S.H.I.E.L.D.? Who named this name? It sounds like a cheap insurance seller.

Paul took off one of the headphones and just smiled when he heard the words.

Just ten minutes ago, Colson's call went directly to his personal mobile phone. The other party's tone was as gentle as ever, but with a sense of command, he asked their father and son to go to the designated place to meet immediately.

"Maybe they are here to promote 'Superhero Personal Accident Insurance'.Paul joked casually, "Buy a copy? After all, you just fell from the sky not long ago.

Tony glared at him and was about to sneer at him when Paul's mobile phone rang again.

He glanced at the caller ID, it was Pepper.

"Hey, Sister Pepper." Paul picked up the phone, and his tone instantly became gentle.

"Paul, where have you been? I saw a helicopter... Is Tony okay?" On the other end of the phone, Pepper's voice was full of worry.

"Don't worry, the old man is very good, but he's a little angry." Paul glanced at Tony, who was silently protesting the name "old man" with his mouth. "Let's meet some 'old friends' and deal with a little thing.Go to bed early. Don't worry."

Appeasing Pepper, Paul hung up the phone and put on the headphones again.

Of course, he knows why S.H.I.E.L.D. is looking for them. The palladium poisoning crisis was lifted, and Ivan Vankofufa was whipped. Iron Man's shocking battle in New York completely broke the balance of the world.

The gears of the Avengers have begun to turn.

In this regard, he was not only not disgusted, but also full of expectations. S.H.I.E.L.D., a giant, has too many secrets he needs.

For example, about his mysteriously dead mother, Li Lina.

The helicopter landed in a remote parking lot. Colson has been waiting there for a long time, with a professional smile on his face.

"Mr. Stark, Mr. Paul, this way, please."

Tony didn't give him a good face and walked straight past him. Paul nodded to him kindly.

Following Colson through an alley, a 24-hour donut shop appeared in front of him.

A mixed smell of cheap coffee and icing came to my face.

In the deepest part of the store, a one-eyed black man in a black leather windbreaker was sitting there. The atmosphere was so strong that the surrounding diners subconsciously stayed away.

Nick Fury.

The current director of S.H.I.L.D.

And in Fury'sThere is also a familiar figure sitting next to him - an eye-catching long red hair with a hot figure. It was Natalie Rushman, a legal assistant who had just "resigned" from Stark Industries not long ago.

Or Natasha Romanov.

"Good evening, Stark." Fury's voice was hoarse and low, like sandpaper rubbing against wood.

Tony pulled out the chair and sat down. He unceremoniously picked up a box of donuts on the table, picked a chocolate-flavored one and stuffed it into his mouth. He said vaguely, "If you want to talk about joining the company, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Our company does not recruit one-eyed dragons, which will affect the corporate image.

Fury's face was expressionless, as if he had long been used to Tony's poisonous tongue.

Paul pulled away the chair next to Tony and sat down, looking back and forth between Fury and Natasha with interest.

"Wow, Miss Natalie, what a coincidence." Paul pretended to be surprised and said, "I thought you would go around the world after resigning, but I didn't expect you to jump to this...'insurance company'? How about the salary? Do you pay five social insurances and one housing fund?"

The corners of Natasha's mouth twitched slightly, but she still maintained a cold expression and did not speak.

Tony noticed Natasha. He was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "Why are you here?"

Fury finally opened his mouth, breaking the strange atmosphere.

He pushed a document in front of Tony and said concisely, "This is Agent Romanov's assessment of you.She stayed with you for six weeks as an undercover agent.

"What?"

Tony stopped chewing. He looked at the document in disbelief, then at Natasha, and then at Fury. The expression on his face changed from astonishment to annoyment, and finally turned into a kind of shame and anger of being teased.

He, Tony Stark, was actually put in an undercover agent by his side and treated as a right-hand man? This is simply a disgrace!

"Poof."

A laughter that I couldn't hold back made the air freeze in an instant.

Tony turned his head aft and glared at the son beside him.

Paul was holding his chin with one hand, covering his mouth with the other hand, shrugging his shoulders, and his face was red with laughter.

"Dad, I told you a long time ago." Paul finally couldn't help laughing, "A beautiful woman who graduated from Harvard, is proficient in multiple languages, is familiar with law and fighting skills, and has such a top figure, will bow down to be your little personal assistant? Is it reasonable for you to think about it with your brain that day?"

"You..." Tony pointed at Paul angrily and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"I have already checked her background, and I can't fake it anymore. That's you, who is carried away by beauty and is still complacent. Paul mercilessly repaired the knife, then turned to Natasha with a bright smile. "But I still want to thank you, Agent Romanov, for helping me supervise my father during this time. Thank you for your hard work."

Natasha looked at the teenager in front of her, with a trace of real surprise in her eyes for the first time.

He actually knew his identity long ago?

Fury's eyes also narrowed slightly, re-examining the teenager who had been regarded as Tony's accessory by him.

"It seems that we all underestimated you, Paul Stark." There is a touch of solemnity in Fury's voice.

"The chat time is over." Fury pulled the topic back on track. He turned his eyes to Tony, but mainly said to Paul, "The big movement you made in New York has attracted a lot of unnecessary attention. The world has changed, and we need a team to deal with future threats.

"Avengers Plan." Paul said the name directly.

Fury's pupils suddenly shrank.

This name is one of the top secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D. How did he know it?

"It seems that you know more than we thought." Fury's tone became dangerous.

"I just like reading books." Paul shrugged his shoulders and lied without blushing.

Tony had recovered from the anger of being deceived at this moment. He listened to the conversation between the two and keenly sensed that tonight's protagonist did not seem to be himself.

Fury's real target is Paul.

"We found a new element."Frey stopped circling. He looked at Paul and opened his chips. "It's in the relics left by your father. But we can't synthesize it. I need your help, Paul. In exchange, the technical database of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s highest authority will be fully open to you.

This is an irresistible temptation.

As the largest intelligence and science and technology organization on earth, S.H.I.E.L.D. is of immeasurable value for the hidden secrets in its database.

Paul was moved. What he needs is not those technologies, but information. About Hydra, about infinite gems, about... everything.

"Deal." Paul almost didn't hesitate, "But I have a condition."

"Say."

"I need to know how far your investigation of the 'Ten Precepts Gang' has reached." Paul's eyes became sharp, "I want all the information about them, including their leaders."

He didn't forget Ethan, the man who saved Tony in the cave and changed Tony's life.

He didn't forget the real Lord Man who was hidden behind the scenes.

Fury took a deep look at him and nodded: "Yes."

The negotiation went unexpectedly smoothly.

Tony was like an outsider all the way. He could only eat donuts silently. Occasionally, he would be ignored by Fury and Paul at the same time.

This made him feel an unprecedented sense of frustration.

Just as the conversation was about to end and the atmosphere eased slightly, Fury suddenly seemed to remember something and asked carelessly:

"By the way, Paul, I've always been curious. How did you find out the identity of Agent Romanov? As far as I know, her disguise is seamless.

Here we come.

Paul was already prepared.

He took a sip of the cold coffee in front of him, and then said in a natural tone, "It's very simple. I scanned her with my AI, 'Big White'."

"Scan?" Fury and Natasha were stunned.

"That's right." Paul put down the coffee cup and looked innocent. "In the big white medical and health scanning module, there is a subroutine that is 'mental health assessment'. It detected a number of physiological indicators such as Miss Natalie's heart rate, skin electric reaction, micro-expressions, etc. When facing my father, she was in a state of high alertness and cognitive disorder for a long time. The assessment result is - 'The individual has a serious tendency to disguise personality and is accompanied by a potential risk of violence'.

He paused, looked at the stunned crowd, and added, "So I asked her to stay away from my father. After all, I don't want to wake up one morning and find that my father died in the gentle countryside.

The whole donut shop fell into a dead silence.

Tony almost spit out the donut that he had just stuffed into his mouth.

Natasha's cheeks rarely blushed, and she didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed.

Even Nick Fury, who has always been in front of him, had an unbelievable sense of absurdity in his eyes.

Use medical robots... to identify top agents?

What the hell is this operation?!

Looking at Fury's constipated face like eating a fly, Paul felt happy.

Playing with the young master, you are still a little tender.

The smug smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he was about to say a few more coquettish words to enjoy the fruits of victory.

However, Fury's next words were like a basin of ice water, pouring down from the top of his head.

"We..." Fury looked at him in a small voice, but it was clearly transmitted to his ears. Every word was like a heavy hammer, "I have some new clues about your background..."

The words are not on.

The smile on Paul's face froze in an instant.

The air seemed to be drained at this moment. The noise around him, the aroma of coffee, the temperature of the light... Everything was far away from him.

In his world, only Fury's cold words and the bottomless only eyes were left.
