American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman

In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight in New York came in through the gaps in the curtains, Stark moved his arms and covered his eyes with his arms, as if resisting the light. Pepper opened his eyes hazy and tilted his head in confusion. Glancing at the clock on the wall, he suddenly woke up.

"It's 9 o'clock, **** it! I still have a meeting!"

Pepper grabbed her hair and sat up from the bed, Stark was awakened by her action, but still turned over with a confused look, wrapped her arms around her waist and said, "Don't worry, baby, we can, um, we can do it again. sleep."

Pepper grabbed his arm and threw it out, then sat down on the edge of the bed, tucked his hair into his hands, and turned back to Stark and said, "You scumbag! I'm not one of those people with you. Models on the yacht, more than half of the orders signed at the fair have not been negotiated"

Pepper sat on the edge of the bed and covered his forehead, and Stark woke up a little. He lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, opened his eyes a few times, and then said, "What meeting, what order?"

Pepper looked back at him, as if doubting his life, and said, "How could I believe your nonsense last night? God."

"Don't do this," Stark was still muttering sleepily. He turned over and wrapped his arms around Pepper's waist.

"I remember you were very touched last night. It was the first time we chatted like that. That was great."

Seeing Stark's trembling eyelashes, Pepper sighed, turned back, and glanced at the sunlight shining in from the window. Unclear, the conversation from last night resounded in her mind again.

After the negotiation, Stark's mood was very complicated. The military bowed his head to him, Hammer Industries paid the price, and Yin Fan's revenge was completely unsuccessful. It stands to reason that he should be very happy, but it was not.

He always felt a little empty in his chest, and an indescribable sense of loss surrounded him, and it was not until he saw Pepper that he understood where this emotion came from.

Stark is not one to talk about his thoughts, but he has to admit that when the sense of loss disappeared when he saw Pepper, he found that he was missing her.

Pepper, who walked into the room, saw Stark standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. It was already late at night. The starry sky in New York was not as bright as expected. After sunset, the fog blocked the moonlight and starlight, making the whole night sky look like A falling black curtain.

There was some dim light in the room, but it was not enough to illuminate everything clearly. Stark stood in front of the glass with a faint cold light and turned to look at Pepper.

Pepper thinks it's amazing, because Stark's eyes are a little wet all the time, like a glimmer of light, even if there is no light source now, he can clearly see his emotions from Stark's eyes .

I don't know if this emotion called missing lights up his eyes, or if the sun in his eye sockets is shining, but whenever Pepper is stared at by him, it is always difficult to say no.

Pepper walked to his side, and looked into his eyes. In the past, whenever this time, Stark felt like a child babbling, and he was full of words, but couldn't say anything.

But today, as if his language system had just been launched, he said to Pepper, "Do you know when I was happiest today?"

Pepper has dealt with too many Stark's wild questions. She knows that many times, Stark doesn't need an answer, just a listener, so she simply thought about it and replied: "I think , it should be when you saw Hanmer's surprised expression after you activated the defense facility, right?"

"When you decided to remodel the building, I was not in favor of it, because it was a bit risky, but now it seems that this choice is correct. If you can't show enough power, there will be endless trouble."

"I'm not trying to discuss this."

Pepper looked up at Stark, and always felt that his expression became very focused. Stark said: "The happiest time for me is to see Peter and his girlfriend visiting the exhibition."

"They carried school bags, walked to each product, showed surprised expressions, listened carefully to the explanation of the instructor, discussed in a low voice, avoided the crowd, and whispered."

"I saw them too, it's nice to be young, right?" Pepper said with a smile.

"I'm happy because" Stark said, looking at Pepper. "I was thinking, if only we could do the same."

"I will wait for you at an appointment, and then we will follow the crowd into the exhibition hall and be amazed and happy with every novelty we see."

Pepper shook his head, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. That girl named Gwen is very interested in those machines, and when it comes to these things, she is even more knowledgeable than Peter."

"But I don't know anything about these things, and I'm not very interested. If you want to find someone who can accompany you to visit this kind of industrial exhibition all day, and be surprised from beginning to end, it will definitely not be me."

"You know what?" Stark suddenly changed the subject, "I had a dream a few days ago, a very real dream, you can listen to it as a true story."

Pepper looked at him and heard his somewhat hoarse voice echo across the room:

"One day in the future, after many disasters, Stark Group goes bankrupt."

"I woke up from a chaotic dream to find that I had nothing left."

"I was living on the streets, suffering from hunger and cold, and I could barely survive on food from the relief station."

"I was so tired and humiliated that I had to move slowly through the streets like a beggar, trying to find a complete cardboard box or an unextinguished oil drum to keep warm."

Pepper looked at Stark and saw a trace of fear between his eyebrows. Pepper stroked Stark's face with his hand and said, "I can't imagine if this happened."

Then, she suddenly reacted and said, "But this can't happen. You still have so many friends, how could they let you end up in this situation?"

"What if they all died?"

Pepper shook his head and said, "For whatever reason, if they're all dead, you can't be alive, you're always going to want to protect them."

"No matter how bad the disaster, you will be the one in the front."

Pepper stroked Stark's face, looked at his eyes intently and said, "Sometimes I don't want you to do this, but if you survive, it's not Stark."

Stark turned his head, smiled helplessly and said, "You just make it impossible for me to tell this story."

"Then don't talk about it, it's just a dream, there's no need to worry about it."

"A dream?" Stark murmured to himself, "Maybe"

"But this story has a very important ending. Do you really want to hear it?" Stark looked at Pepper expectantly, and she couldn't say anything to refuse. She asked, "What ending?"

Stark opened his mouth and seemed to have returned to that state of aphasia. After a long pause, he still said, "To put it directly, when I thought I was going to die, the first person that came to my mind was you."

Perhaps thinking that his words were too abrupt, Stark explained: "I dreamed that I was about to die, and before I died, I was thinking, where have you been? Then I woke up and found that it was just a Dream."

"You know why I realized it was a dream?"

Stark stretched out a hand, paused in mid-air, then covered Pepper's hand that was stroking his cheek and said, "Because you're not going to leave me, are you?"

Pepper looked straight at him, then burst out laughing and said, "You've come around such a big bend and you want to say this?"

"I know I'm a bit shameless. I didn't give you any guarantees, but I asked you for this answer first, but it's not the first day you met me." Stark also laughed: "I'm so shameless."

"Then you can only say that you deserve to go bankrupt. If you can't continue to pay me such a high salary, I will turn around and leave."

Star clasped Pepper's arm, he stood closer, and said, "Before, a man who claimed to be able to read minds suggested to me that he could give me an answer at an appropriate time."

"What answer?"

"Do you really love me?"

Pepper just wanted to say that there is no mind reading in this world, and then suddenly reacted, she looked at Stark in shock.

Those brown eyes were like rich honey, and Pepper felt like a bewitched bee at this moment, a little dizzy.

Outside the glass curtain wall of the Stark Building, a cloud of gray mist floated at the corner of the building. Spider-Man used a spider silk to stick to the eaves and hung upside down. Looking at the indoor scene, Spider-Man turned his head, Said to the gray fog, "Although I don't know what you are, it's not right to peek"

The gray fog suddenly turned into an arrow, pointing in the direction of Stark and Pepper, Spider-Man turned his head back, and he saw that behind the glimmering glass curtain wall, the two were kissing together.

After finishing the kiss, Stark let go of Pepper, and before he could continue to say anything, in the corner of his vision, a cloud of gray mist slowly turned into a symbol that was a tick.

Recalling the scene from last night, Stark, who was lying on the bed, covered his eyes and couldn't help laughing.

As Pepper changed his clothes, he turned his head and said angrily, "Are you happy to see me late? What are you laughing at?"

"I didn't." Stark tried to sit up from the bed, he scratched his messy hair and said, "I'm your boss, I can give you a day off, we"

"Don't talk like that. After I'm on vacation, what about the pile of orders? What about the meeting? What about the company?"

"It's okay, I can take your place for a day, I'll handle these things."

"Yeah, then I can indeed take a day off." Pepper said indifferently. "Then spend twice as much time dealing with the loss of your day for the next three months."

Stark quickly changed his clothes. Pepper had never seen him move so quickly since he knew him. Stark put on his coat, put on his sunglasses, and came out as soon as he was smoky. He opened the door, and before leaving, he said, "Then I have to prove to you that there is nothing in this world that Stark can't handle."

An hour later, the Holy of Holies received an unexpected call. Strange took the call from the salesman with one hand, put the other on his hips, and said helplessly, "We are the cosmic line here, what's the matter with you? Can you give me a personal phone number?"

"Get some help, man, damn, I seem to have made a mistake, this contract seems to be from last year, but I've already signed it"

Strange heard Stark's voice a little broken: "Since you can provide services to so many messy people, it shouldn't be difficult to get this done, come here quickly, or Pepper will kill me!"

"We are the Holy of Holies here, and we are mainly engaged in tasks related to the Cosmic Demon God"

"I'm also a cosmic devil!! Come here quickly!"

"The problem with the Stark Group, you should go to a professional staff team, we are all a bunch of scams, I mean financial staff."

"I'm looking for financial staff!"

"Then why don't you go to Wall Street?"

"Aren't you on Wall Street?!!" Stark yelled.

Half an hour later, Strange and a dejected Stark appeared outside the door of the Arkham Sanatorium. Schiller blocked the door and said, "If you want to be admitted to the hospital, you will be charged first."

"Also, I paid the money from yesterday's answer."

"But that's what you told me yourself," Stark said, glaring at Schiller.

Schiller showed a smile and said, "What gave you the illusion that I wouldn't buy or sell?"

"Unscrupulous quack doctor!"

"I'll say it again"
