Chapter 17 I Can't Bring Danger to Her Again
Tony Stark is missing!

Even though Pepper saw Tony flying up from the bottom of the sea wearing the armor.

But he did not choose to return to himself or Stark Industries.

Instead, I don’t know where it flew to.

A whole day passed and he still hadn't received any message from Tony.

This made Pepper's heart hang in the balance again.

After Natasha arrived, she directed the rescue and cleanup at the scene while using SHIELD's satellites to search for Tony Stark's whereabouts.

It was not until the evening that SHIELD's satellite finally locked onto the trace of Tony's armor.

When Pepper heard Natasha say that she had found Tony's trace, she immediately perked up.

Then he asked Qin Yang: "Qin, please bring Tony back."

"Leave it to me!"

Faced with Pepper's request, Qin Yang did not choose to refuse.

He stood up and walked to Natasha, determining where Tony had fallen at the moment.

At the same time, in Tennessee, in a snowy field.

"Sir...Sir..."

As Jarvis continued to call out, Tony, who had fallen into a coma, gradually woke up.

"Turn off the alarm, Jarvis, I'm awake!"

Listen to Jarvis' voice and the beeping alarm coming from inside the iron suit.

Tony tried hard to open his eyes and stay awake, then asked Jarvis to turn off the sound.

"Sir, this is a system alarm that the armor's energy is less than 5%."

Jarvis' voice warned.

Words such as system failure also kept appearing in Tony's helmet.

Tony raised his hand with great effort to remove the visor, and saw snowflakes floating in the dark night outside.

"Jarvis, it's snowing. Are we in the north?"

"Sir, we are five kilometers outside of Rose Hill, Tennessee."

"what?"

Listen to Jarvis, this is five kilometers away from Rose Mountain in Tennessee.

Tony immediately shouted, "JARVIS, why are we here? How's Pepper doing? Damn it, we shouldn't be here."

"Jarvis, let's fly back immediately!"

"Sir, the armor is running low on energy."

"Open the armor!"

"I...Sir, I think the armor has malfunctioned."

"Then eject and open it!"

As Tony gave the order to eject.

The armor, which was originally emitting sparks at every joint, slowly opened.

Tony suddenly sat up from the ground, panting and looking around: "This is such an exciting day!"

He picked up a piece of ice and wiped the blood off his arm.

Tony Stark rubbed his hands and looked at the snowflakes floating around him and said, "It seems to be more comfortable inside the armor."

Having said that, Tony was ready to lie back down in the opened armor.

But Jarvis's energy was running low, and his voice gradually became weaker: "I think I'm going to sleep now, sir."

"Jarvis."

"Jarvis!"

Sitting alone on the ground covered with snow, Tony Stark kept calling Jarvis.

But after waiting for a few seconds, there was no response from Jarvis.

Tony looked around and said, "Don't leave me, man..."

A few minutes later.

I don't know where to find a piece of rope.

Tony Stark was wearing thin clothes and dragging his armor that had lost power in the snow.

Snowflakes drifting in the sky kept falling on Tony Stark's head.

In the darkness, only the reactor on his chest emitted a glimmer of light, which made Tony Stark look extremely lonely!

We walked for more than ten minutes.

"call"

He leaned on his knees and gasped, losing sight of Jarvis.

Tony Stark didn't know where he was either.

But if you keep walking in the direction of the road in front of you, you will eventually find a place with people.

"Come on, man, I'll find a way once I find some people..."

"What are you trying to do?"

I suddenly heard a familiar voice behind me.

Tony Stark turned his head sharply.

When he saw Qin Yang standing behind him with a smile on his face.

Tony Stark's eyes sparkled with unstoppable joy.

"Why, are you so excited that you want to cry?"

I looked around and saw no one else except the falling snowflakes.

Qin Yang walked up to Tony and said teasingly with a smile: "If you want to cry, then cry quickly, otherwise when you go back, Pepper will see that your eyes are red."

"Maybe they'll think you got kicked in the ass by some Mexican!"

"Damn it, you damned little bastard!"

Listening to Qin Yang's teasing, Tony Stark forced himself to suppress the deep emotion in his heart.

Then he raised his middle finger towards Qin Yang.

"Wow, that's rude!"

Coming to Tony, Qin Yang took out a still warm hamburger and handed it to him: "Hey, look how thoughtful I am. I know you may not have had dinner yet, so I specially brought you a cheeseburger."

"But then again, Tony, it's time to get off work now. If you can multiply your bonus several times this month."

"Then I will definitely leave you here alone and tell Pepper that you are dead. Also, this burger costs fifty thousand dollars!"

He took the cheeseburger handed over by Qin Yang.

Tony Stark really didn't have the energy to continue chatting with him. He took the cheeseburger, opened the package, and said while eating with big mouthfuls: "Double the bonus? No problem, I have plenty of money."

"But you know what? I never like taking things from other people."

"And you're the first one besides Pepper!"

"Sorry, I'll throw it to you next time!"

"You little bastard!"

After finishing a cheeseburger, Tony Stark felt he was only three-quarters full.

But in this lonely, cold and snowy night.

Someone came to find me and brought me a warm cheeseburger.

Tony felt that he couldn't ask for more.

Watching Tony Stark finish his burger.

Qin Yang pointed to the damaged and malfunctioning armor on the ground and said, "Let's go. Pepper is still waiting for you to come home."

But faced with Qin Yang's proposal, Tony Stark seemed a little hesitant.

"What's wrong? Don't you think it's cold enough here?"

Looking at Tony, who was only wearing a thin T-shirt and blowing hot air on his hands.

Qin Yang asked.

"I'm wondering whether I should go back now!"

Looking at Qin Yang, Tony Stark's expression was very serious: "This time, Killian's target is me, right?"

"That's right!"

"If I go back now, what will happen next?"

Sitting on the damaged armor, Tony Stark looked very serious: "Since Killian's target is me, as long as I don't go back, I won't bring danger to Pepper again."

"Qin, to be honest, if you hadn't come to rescue me during the day, I can't imagine what would have happened."

"I can't... God, at least I can't put Pepper in danger again, you know what I mean!"
