"Tony, there's something you have to deal with." Rhodes approached Tony with urgency in his voice.
Tony was completely engrossed in his experiment and didn't react to Rhodes' words.
"Listen, I've been negotiating with the Security Council all day, trying to convince them not to send tanks to forcibly take your Iron Man Suit. Do you understand? They want to take your armor!" Rhodes raised his voice, trying to get Tony's attention.
"Last time you publicly refused to hand over the technology to them in Congress, and now they want to achieve their goal by force."
"Are you listening to me?" Rhodes muttered to himself for a long time, but Tony still didn't respond.
"Can they do good with mine? And how can they guarantee they won't misuse it?" After a while, Tony finally spoke, his tone full of resistance.
"They claim it's to control uncontrollable factors, maintain national stability and security, and be responsible to the country. If necessary, they will take action against you." Rhodes repeated the official rhetoric.
"Then have they ever thought about taking military action against Superwoman?" Tony retorted sarcastically.
"Superwoman is too strong."
"Actually, some radicals also have this idea, but considering that Superwoman comes and goes without a trace and is too fast, taking military action against Superwoman is too risky, so they temporarily dare not take the risk," Rhodes continued to explain.
"Isn't this bullying honest people? Let them come."
"Tony, if you don't want to hand it over, I'll try my best to cover for you, but you have to figure out a solution."
Tony thought for a moment and said, "You wear the silver-white one! Just say it's the most advanced version."
"OK!"
... "Ivan, what is this you've made? Is this a helmet?" Justin Hammer looked at the completed robot and asked doubtfully, "How do you put your head in? Jack, try to see if you can put your head in?"
Jack picked up the helmet and tried it. "No," he shook his head and said.
"See, Ivan, you can't put your head in. I need armor that people can wear, just like Iron Man's armor, do you understand what I mean?" Justin said with dissatisfaction.
"Remote control is better. Letting people directly pilot it will cause trouble. I designed an unmanned armor," Ivan explained.
"The expo is coming soon. It's best if you can impress me. Don't mess anything up."
... "Pepper, I want to go to the expo too. I want to go with you." Tony approached Pepper with a box of strawberries. Hearing Pepper talking about the expo on the phone with someone, he quickly said.
After experiencing life and death, he began to pay more attention to their relationship, wanting to take his relationship with Pepper a step further.
"You have 30 seconds. 30, 29, 28..." Pepper thought Tony was just having another whim to do something boring and didn't want him to waste her time.
"Wait, do you know how short life is? If you don't express your feelings, you'll regret it for life. I've only recently realized this. What I want to say is... I..." Tony, abandoning his usual playboy restlessness, stammered a bit.
"Let's stop here, okay? If you say 'I' one more time, I'm leaving. At Stark Industries, I still have to deal with all sorts of messes for you every day..." Pepper impatiently interrupted him, glancing at the box of strawberries in Tony's hand, a little speechless. "You brought me strawberries? This is the only thing I'm allergic to."
"Leave immediately."
Tony slunk away...
"Skynet, how many Terminators have successfully joined S.H.I.E.L.D. as undercover agents?"
"Reporting, Master, currently over 100 Terminators have successfully infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. and are deeply trusted by them," Skynet replied.
"Although I try my best to cover their identities, Amy and the others are still worried that too many people will expose them, so the number of undercover agents is growing slowly. However, we are also trying to arrange some Terminators to infiltrate other important organizations and industries."
"Well done, continue to maintain stealth." Alex nodded, "Notify Amy to not be too conservative. Just disguise as a HYDRA undercover agent in S.H.I.E.L.D. If discovered, claim to be HYDRA."
... "Natasha, there's something important I need to tell you. I've discovered traces of HYDRA within S.H.I.E.L.D." Fury said to Black Widow with a grave expression.
"What? Are you sure?" Natasha asked in disbelief.
"My investigation has uncovered some suspicious intelligence, proving that HYDRA operatives have infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.," Fury replied.
"They are disguised as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and have obtained certain security access permissions. I need your assistance to help me monitor the movements within the bureau. Inform me immediately if you discover more problems."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out." Natasha nodded.
Subsequently, Natasha followed Pepper to the expo, as she was nominally Pepper's secretary.
Natasha and Pepper sat below the stage, watching Justin Hammer give an impassioned speech.
"Thank you all for coming. For a long time, our country has urgently needed to strengthen its security. When Iron Man appeared, I once thought the days of innocent death were over. But unfortunately, his technology remains a secret, which is unfair and unreasonable."
Pepper, in the audience, shook her head upon hearing this.
"And today, the U.S. military will be completely revitalized, thanks to Hammer's unmanned robots!" With stirring music, Justin Hammer's speech reached its climax as he showcased his products, and a row of robots slowly ascended onto the stage.
"Air Force! Navy! Army!" Justin Hammer raised his hand to introduce them.
The audience was shocked, and a chorus of gasps and murmurs filled the hall.
Many stood up, applauding and cheering, their faces filled with awe and excitement.
However, some audience members looked serious, gazing worriedly at the rapidly upgrading military technology on stage.
And it was at this moment that Tony, wearing his iconic red Iron Man suit, flew in rapidly, landing directly in front of Justin Hammer and his robot army.
It turned out that not long ago, Ivan had called Tony and threatened him. Tony, through information, realized that the unmanned robots on display might start indiscriminately attacking civilians, so he rushed over to try to prevent this disaster.
But the audience below was still unaware. Seeing Iron Man's arrival, their cheers grew even louder.
"Yay!"
"Iron Man!"
"So cool!"
The audience shouted excitedly, treating Iron Man's appearance as part of the expo performance.
Justin Hammer was a bit stunned; Tony's unexpected appearance caught him off guard.
"We have a problem; there are many citizens nearby," Tony said seriously. "Get the audience out of here immediately."
"Dude, what are you doing here?"
"Tell me where Ivan is, quickly!"
