Chapter 417 Yes, We Have a Child

"Laini, you are right. Pioneer's biological experiments have indeed been carried out a long time ago. We found an explosion that occurred two years ago in Rose Hill, Tennessee. The explosion temperature was also as high as 3000 degrees Celsius!"

On the SHIELD "Airbus", Skye, who finally found the clue according to the hint given by Lainie, couldn't wait to call Lainie.

"Well, Rose Hill, Tennessee?"

However, Lainie on the other end of the phone didn't seem surprised. Skye was stunned when he heard it, and nodded woodenly at the information in front of him.

"Jarvis also found this clue. Tony and I will go to Tennessee later. Where are you now?"

Laini hugged her arms and glanced at Tony beside her.

"Uh...we are now..."

Skye was a little confused. They were now in the sky and had to locate themselves first.

"Forget it, just come over here. Pepper needs someone to protect her. For safety reasons, let her stay with you for the time being and help us protect her."

Tennessee, according to the instructions in memory, the mother of the suspect in the explosion incident has important evidence about Pioneer's human biological experiments.

As long as they can get that information, Tony and he can legitimately launch a full-scale attack on Pioneer!

"It is expected to arrive in half an hour."

Melinda's voice interrupted the communication, and it was obvious that the other party was also paying attention to this side.

Lennie nodded and told her to hurry up, and then hung up the communication.

"I have arranged a trip to Tennessee for you."

Jarvis's voice sounded at the right time. Tony had no opinion on this, but just silently watched the image of Harpy being attacked drawn by Jarvis on the floor through holographic projection.

"What is the situation outside now?"

After thinking for a moment, Tony turned his head to look at Lainie. He knew that Lainie had some magical perception ability.

"Thanks to you, there are three helicopters hovering in the sky. They look like the media."

Laini frowned. These media gave her a bad feeling. The radar system kept giving warnings.

Although Lainie did not find any weapons on their plane, the other party hovering like this could easily interfere with her judgment.

"Wait, someone is coming."

Suddenly, Lainie noticed a car driving straight towards the villa.

Ding Dong!

"Sir, the person coming is Dr. Maya Hansen."

As soon as these words came out, Tony was stunned. Ten thousand possibilities flashed through his mind for a while, most of which were about Maya Hansen being Mandarin.

"When the enemy comes, the general will stop the enemy. When the enemy comes, the earth will be built. Since they are here, how can we not welcome them? Let her in."

Laini gave Tony a look, then signaled the other party to deal with it first, and she went to protect Pepper.

"Well, Lainie is right. Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. I'll go over and meet her now."

"I hope she doesn't bring a child to see you."

Laini made a joke, and then took the lead to walk upstairs quickly.

...

Maya Hansen looked at the magnificent villa in front of her, feeling a little uneasy.

Killian is no longer the same Killian as before. His behavior is suspicious all the time. If he really colluded with Mandarin, wouldn't she be helping the evil?

Maya Hansen is a scientist, but she is not the legendary Frankenstein.

She accepted Killian's invitation in order to promote the technology of "Extremis Virus" and save more people who have to accept tragic fate because of war and accidents.

But Killian has changed. He has become more and more crazy and deviated from his original intention.

He began to get involved in arms trading. He had always hated war and death, but now he took over Stark Industries, which he once despised the most, and became another largest war arms dealer in the United States.

Such Killian made Maya Hansen feel very unfamiliar. Was what he promised her at the beginning just empty talk?

Peace, health, equality, stability, these goals he once pursued, have they become vain now?

Maya Hansen couldn't figure it out, so she planned to verify it.

However, the result was that Killian marginalized her.

The experimental project of the Extremis virus has been put on track, and her importance is no longer as indispensable as in the past. Killian plans to kick her out.

If she hadn't been prepared and hadn't handed over the complete formula for the next stage of the Extremis virus, she would probably be the next person to be kicked out of the AIM research team by Killian.

"Hello, Dr. Maya Hansen, welcome!"

A male voice that sounded a bit stereotyped sounded, bringing Maya Hansen's thoughts back to reality.

The next second, a faint blue spectrum covered her entire body, scanning her body from top to bottom.

Maya Hansen was a little surprised to see this. She didn't expect Tony Stark's villa to have such a strict security system.

Was that artificial intelligence just now?

"Mr. Stark is waiting for you in the living room, please come in."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the villa opened automatically. It seemed that the other party did not think that she would pose a threat to them.

Maya Hansen raised her eyebrows and walked into the villa hall calmly.

"Long time no see, Ms. Hansen."

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Tony looked at the former woman with mixed feelings in his heart.

He is not a nostalgic person, especially emotionally. Except for Pepper, he has never had any nostalgia for women.

But Maya Hansen is different, this woman is special.

Because if it hadn't been for the mistake he made, maybe Happy wouldn't have... last night...

"Hmm, I didn't expect you to still remember me. Didn't it mean that Tony Stark would never have any feelings for a woman he slept with once?"

Maya Hansen looked into Tony's eyes. Unlike Killian, she had no deep grudge against Tony.

Although Tony was ruthless at the time, after so many years, she was no longer a child, so naturally she didn't take that night too seriously.

"It's actually true, I don't even remember what I had for breakfast."

Tony stretched out his hand to invite Maya to sit down. If getting closer could make it easier to talk about business, then he didn't mind sacrificing something for it.

"It's grain-free waffles, Sir"

"Oh, yes, thank you for remembering it for me."

Tony rolled his eyes. It looked like he had to upgrade Jarvis again. He was a bit too secretive.

Maya glanced at the direction where the sound came from. It was a player, presumably artificial intelligence.

He took another look at the steel suit standing silently behind the sofa. It didn't look like the suit that had been shown on the news a few days ago.

"Tony?"

Pepper seemed to have heard the movement downstairs, and Pepper, who was packing her luggage, heard the sound and walked down the stairs.

She did learn about Maya Hansen from Leni, but with Leni accompanying her, she wasn't too worried about her safety.

At this time, I want to see what kind of person this woman who can make Tony even think about food and drink will be.

"Um, my girlfriend, Pepper."

Tony was a little embarrassed. Although he had a lot of love history, it didn't mean that he could face this Shura field-like scene calmly.

Christine was an example from before. That woman had been pestering herself and Leni some time ago, saying that she wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with Avengers.

"Ahem, Maya Hansen, the botanist I told you about before."

Tony coughed dryly, and then couldn't help but think back to Leni's joke.

"You came alone, right? Don't tell me there's a 12-year-old kid sitting in the back seat of your car."

Upon hearing this, Maya glanced in the direction of the stairs, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said deliberately seriously:

"Actually 13 years old, girl, name is Anna."

As soon as these words came out, Tony's whole body trembled, and he almost choked to death with a mouthful of saliva.

After carefully observing Maya Hansen's expression, she didn't seem to be joking.

Did Leni not joke with herself before? Did she really find out that Maya Hanson has a baby?

"Anna…Stark?"

Tony was a little stunned, and then asked with some uncertainty.

"Anna Hansen.①"

Maya seemed to enjoy Tony's expression at this moment, so she simply deceived him to the end.

Numb, Tony is really numb this time.

He never thought that he would become a father one day, and he was an unfit father that he least expected to be.

Tony found it difficult to accept it for a while, his mood was very complicated, and his mind was filled with the words daughter and Anna.

Seeing that Tony was about to be tricked by Maya Hansen, Leni smiled helplessly, coughed lightly and said:

"Hmm! I wonder what's wrong with Dr. Hansen coming here alone?"

Note ①: Anna Hansen comes from an old book called "Marvel Genius in Disguise". The protagonist is officially the daughter of Maya Hansen. This is a tribute.

PS: I forgot to change the title of this chapter, so I just clicked Publish. I will ask the editor to change it tomorrow.
