Chapter 420 Simmons: Big News! The Stark Family Has an Illegitimate Daughter?
"Sorry, Sir, I'm afraid I have to sleep for a while..."
In the middle of the icy snow, Jarvis' weak voice sounded.
"Jarvis? Don't leave me alone, don't..."
Tony called Jarvis's name in a deep voice, but he didn't get the response he wanted to hear.
In the cold winter, on a snowy night, alone, Tony sat helplessly on the snow, not knowing where to go.
…
"Haven't you found Tony yet?"
After making some arrangements for the company and temporarily appeasing the people in the company, Pepper rubbed his sore eyebrows and walked out of the conference room.
"No, the encryption program of Stark's security server is very complicated. Even I have to put in a lot of effort. Although with Jarvis's cooperation, the signal of Mark 42 is too weak, and we can't detect it through satellite. Positioning."
Skye scratched her head. She boasted that her hacking skills were unparalleled in SHIELD, but when faced with Stark Industries' network server, she couldn't help but scratch her head and head.
Pepper nodded after hearing this, silently walked to the sofa nearby and sat down, staring blankly at the holographic screen in front of him, which showed the map of Rose Hill, Tennessee.
"Don't worry, Leni and Mester will definitely be able to bring Mr. Stark back."
A plain hand suddenly appeared in front of Pepper, holding a cup of hot coffee. The person who came was the girl named Simmons.
Pepper thanked her and reached out to take the coffee. The warmth coming from the wall of the cup temporarily relieved Pepper's cold palms.
Glancing at Maya Hansen, who was also silent sitting on the other side, Pepper suddenly recalled the content of Tony's conversation with Maya in the villa.
"Dr. Maya Hansen?"
Maya was stunned when she heard Pepper calling her. When she came back to her senses, she immediately looked at Tony Stark's current lover.
"Call me Maya, I'm not much of a doctor."
Maya Hansen is right. Due to the uncontrollable nature of the Extremis virus experiment, the relevant information about this technology has always been considered confidential in the company.
Therefore, she never wrote a paper and published it, and naturally she never received a doctorate.
When Pepper heard this, she didn't worry too much about the title. She actually had something to ask.
"Actually, I was in the villa just now and heard the conversation between you and Tony. You... have a child?"
Pepper felt a little uneasy in her heart, but her eyes were extremely determined. She must figure this out, otherwise, she might not be able to feel at ease...
"Huh? Child?"
Suddenly asked this question, Maya was a little dazed for a moment. Even the busy investigation team members around them were attracted by Pepper's sudden question.
Skye (shocked): "Mr. Stark has a child?"
Simmons (eating melon): "How do I know? I haven't heard of it, and Leni didn't say anything about it either?"
Fitz (rubbing his chin): "From what they said, the child's mother is Maya Hansen. Is it the one we found out before?"
Skye (making a fist with her right hand and tapping the palm of her left hand): "That time in Switzerland? It's possible! But then wouldn't the children be twelve or thirteen years old? Are they boys or girls?"
Simmons (eyes gleaming): "Quiet! Listen to what they say!"
Not noticing the encrypted communication between the three members of the investigation team, Pepper looked into Maya's eyes and bit her lip lightly.
"Anna Hansen, it's a girl, right?"
Oops!
As soon as these words came out, let alone Maya Hansen's reaction, anyway, the threesome eating melon on the side felt happy.
Oh boy, there is indeed a child! And she’s still a girl! The name is Anna!
Although the child has Dr. Hansen's surname, it doesn't seem difficult to understand. After all, these two people's names are inconsistent, so the child will naturally take her mother's surname!
No wonder Leni didn't let a few of her people lock up Maya Hansen, but told them to be responsible for protecting her.
Co-authored this is to protect the future eldest niece’s mother!
Seeing that Pepper really misunderstood, Maya Hansen immediately got excited and hurriedly explained:
"No, no, please don't misunderstand me. That's just me lying to Tony. We don't have any children at all. Anna and everything else are just made up by me..."
However, the more anxious Maya became at this time, the more unbelievable Pepper and the trio watching the show became.
"You don't need to have any psychological burden. I'm not threatening you. I can understand the matter of the child. After all, I am also aware of Tony's merciless behavior for so many years. I have always been handling it before, but..."
At this point, Pepper's face darkened. She and Tony had been together for so long, but there was no movement in her stomach, which made her feel a little disappointed.
"It's just that the time you had contact with him was before I took office, so I don't know much about what happened between you. As for the child, she is actually innocent..."
Pepper gritted her teeth. She was not sure whether the reason why she had not been able to get pregnant was because she had a problem with her, or because there was something wrong with Tony.
Before that, she was busy with the company, so Pepper had never considered this aspect, and she didn't care too much about not being able to get pregnant.
But at this moment, Pepper unconsciously began to think about this issue.
"Ah... no, I didn't lie to you. No, I was lying to Tony before, but now everything I say is true..."
Seeing Pepper sitting opposite her gradually sinking into her own world, Maya Hansen was a little anxious and incoherent for a while.
Come on, I just made a joke, didn't I?
How come everyone seems to really believe it now?
...
Tennessee--
Looking at the endless snowfields and woods below, Lainie, who was driving the Quinjet, couldn't help but frown.
Thinking of Tony's current situation, Lainie couldn't help but worry secretly.
Mark 42 is different from other armors. It is in the testing stage and its performance cannot meet the standards of actual combat in many aspects.
She had already anticipated this when she participated in the design of Tony's armor.
But I didn't expect that this prodigal son is worthy of being a prodigal son. When he is playing, he is really not just a prodigal son.
Without energy supply, satellite network connection, and Jarvis remote service, Tony was brought straight from the sea to this icy and snowy land.
"Search all gas stations and convenience stores around Rose Hill. Tony is likely to be there."
In memory, Tony once stopped at an Indian-style convenience store, where he met a child, Harry, who healed his life.
"As for that child, I actually agree that he should be the successor of Iron Man."
Laini raised her eyebrows. She didn't comment on this. Harry should be about the same age as Parker. If the two of them could know each other earlier, it might be a good thing.
"But... his name is Harry, what if his last name is Osborn..."
Laini was stunned for a moment, then shook her head to deny this statement. Although she didn't remember the child's full name, she didn't think he was the Harry Osborn.
Being confused by Lainie's sudden action, Meister narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked with concern:
"Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"
"Oh, I'm fine, just thinking about something."
Realizing that her action was a bit abrupt, Lainie laughed and laughed.
We can talk about Harry later. It is more important to find Tony first!
…
"Don't move!"
The door of the small warehouse was suddenly pushed open, and a childish voice sounded, interrupting Tony's action.
Looking at the little boy holding the homemade potato gun by the door, Tony slowly raised his hands in cooperation.
"The potato gun is well made and looks familiar, but the barrel is a bit too long, and the power will be reduced."
Hearing the other party say this, Harry, who was alert, immediately aimed the muzzle of the potato gun at a glass jar in the warehouse.
Bang!
The homemade bullet hit the glass jar accurately and shattered it easily. The threat was self-evident.
However, this threat was nothing to Tony, and he immediately put down his raised hands.
"Now you have no bullets."
Harry was still indifferent to this. At a young age, he had extraordinary wisdom and courage.
He noticed something unusual on the chest of the "thief" in front of him. There seemed to be a glowing object there, which reminded him of someone who only existed in newspapers.
"What's on your chest?"
Tony raised his eyebrows and tapped his chest a few times, making a ding-ding-ding sound.
"Electromagnet, you should know that you still have a box here."
"What is it used for?"
Harry became more and more certain of his guess, but he was still wary of the man in front of him.
Tony pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally made way, reaching out to flip the lampshade of the lamp next to him, reflecting the Mark 42 prodigal who caused him to be exiled.
