Marvel’s Speedsters

The rising sun leaps out of the horizon, dispelling the rain and snow haze of the past few days, and the golden sun is full of weather, shining on the vast river.

Ross stood on the beach, quietly watching the rolling waves and breathing the exceptionally fresh air. After a . After the night run, he had changed his clothes and looked like an ordinary boy who had gone out to exercise, and from the appearance alone, no one would believe that it was this refreshing and clean young man who single-handedly carried out the purge of Hamlet’s underworld the night before.

After a . The night hunt, now stepping on the soft sand, facing the blue sky, Ross was in a rather good mood, until the nearby morning runners accidentally bumped into him when dodging each other, and returned to reality from the happy mood.

The moment of physical contact, the world suddenly slowed down, and Ross’s attention lightning patrolled, and then quietly withdrawn, and then a warm body stumbled over.

“Be careful… Pepper? ”

He turned sideways in time, put his hands on the other’s shoulders, and was reminding the man to stay safe, when he suddenly called out her name in surprise.

It turned out that the woman who almost fell was Tony Stark’s most trusted secretary, Miss Pepper Potts.

“Sorry, Ross.” Wearing a sky blue sweatshirt, Pepper who is elegantly and capable, is a little embarrassed, in fact, she just saw Ross in front, but because the gossip tabloids have reported the scandal between the two, she is a little embarrassed, plus the incident in Central Park has memories that she does not want to recall, so as soon as she sees the familiar figure, Pepper subconsciously wants to avoid, but she didn’t expect to be hit by the person who followed closely behind her, and after losing her balance, she couldn’t help but fall to the person who wanted to escape.

I knew this would be the case, so I might as well stop and say hello.

The thought of this made Pepper rather embarrassed.

Ross ignored her complicated feelings, put one hand around the crook of her arm, and chatted with Pepper with a smile.

“We haven’t seen each other in a long time, how are you doing?”

“I’m fine. Last time Susan asked me to visit the new lab, Tony had news that day, so I went to the air base early, and I was really sorry. Pepper explained, gently withdrawing his arm from Ross’s hand.

“It’s okay.” Ross put his hands back in his pocket and shrugged his shoulders freely.

“I heard that Mr. Stark is still suffering from trauma and has been lying on Chuang for several weeks, and I hope he recovers soon.”

“No, it’s not like that.” Speaking of Tony, Pepper couldn’t help but frown her long eyebrows.

“The newspapers were just speculating that Tony could act on his own, he just…”

Not knowing what to say, Pepper pointed to himself high. Shrugging xiong.

Of course, Ross understood what she meant, isn’t it that the future Iron Man Xiongkou was opened by a weapon made by his own company.

“If the body . The shrapnel inside can be cleaned up, the lab can do special treatment for Mr. Stark, and you know, our Phinex potion has a miraculous effect on wound regeneration. ”

“Thank you, Rose, it would be great if I could, and I think Tony will thank you too.” Pepper was delighted.

“It’s nothing, I also bought some Stark shares, although only as small shareholders who don’t have to inform the board.” Rose blinked, not telling her he was short.

Pepper didn’t know about this, just nodded repeatedly, these days the newspapers have been hyping up Ross’s news, although Tony herself does not like to read it, but she herself unconsciously knows a lot.

As a young scientist with a similar style, now Stark’s market has plummeted, Ross’s ship is rising, with speeches and interviews, many originally unknown things have been turned out by various media to report, from high school to the unscrupulous. Good deeds, to later self-improvement, and the deal with Osborne, each thing makes different analyses from its own perspective, especially involving epoch-making novel drugs, but also to be repeatedly demonstrated from all aspects, both the positive side of praise and pertinence, and the opposite of disparaging doubt, each newspaper is willing to consume the heat brought by Ross, perhaps until the reader’s curiosity is exhausted before looking for the next target.

During this time, the injured citizens who received treatment became the focus of attention from the outside world, and every day newspapers assessed their recovery, and the almost visible recovery speed was indeed shocking, so everyone’s trust in Finix’s potion was very high.

Pepper is certainly no exception. If Tony Body. The shrapnel inside is not so small and difficult to read, maybe it is now lying on the treatment table in the laboratory, and in a few days it will be completely restored.

However, wounds may be treatable, and mental wounds are less likely to heal.

“Have you been resting badly lately, I see you seem to be a little tired?” Rossmin. Noticing that Pepper’s eyes were slightly darkened under her eyes, he casually pulled her aside and sat side by side on a nearby bench.

Leaning back in the chair and sighing bitterly, Pepper’s heavy mood relaxed slightly. Since Tony’s disappearance, all the pressure has fallen on her shoulders, both worrying about her employer’s safety and trying to maintain her influence in the company, which is much more pressure than it seems, and it is really sad that she has not been resolved.

Pepper is not a local, her hometown is a small country town outside New York State, she joined Stark’s company after graduating from college, there are not many friends in New York, in the past, only Susan had a better relationship, similar status and no conflict of interest, but now Susan participated in space experiments and has left Earth on the space shuttle to arrive at the space station, she doesn’t even have a person who can speak, it’s really a little depressed.

So when Ross asked, she couldn’t help but complain.

“I don’t know what to say… After coming back this time, Tony has changed completely, I don’t know what he is doing in the studio, God mysteriously does not allow people to enter… He had never been like this before. ”

“Maybe he has some new invention and inspiration comes, so he can’t worry about anything else.” Ross casually guessed that Stark should be immersed in remorse and self-blame at this time, bent on perfecting his steel armor to wash away his mistakes, and it was normal for Pepper to be temporarily snubbed.

However, Pepper didn’t think so, she was already a little anxious about Tony’s changes, and she couldn’t get angry when she thought that Rose also had a lot of secrets hidden in her.

“You geniuses, you never care about other people’s feelings, as if everyone is wasting your time and always self-centered! Is it so difficult to communicate? ”

Listening to her complaints, Rose gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

“Obadi said that Tony didn’t actually come back, he just came back physically, but he left the most important part in a cave in Central Asia, and sometimes I think he’s right. Shutting down factories, suspending tens of thousands of people, cleaning up all previous inventions, even a photo with his father, Mr. Howard, was so anomalous, but Tony couldn’t help by closing himself off completely. ”

Pepper said worriedly, unconsciously treating Ross as someone to talk to, and the distance between the two gradually approached.

“Maybe you’re just overthinking.” Ross smiled a little, now Pepper didn’t look like a secretary, but like Tony’s mother.

“Men are different from women, you are usually more precocious, and we often need some opportunity to realize our responsibilities. Any idea what I was like before? ”

“…… Same as Tony? Pepper was stunned for a moment, remembering the media report.

“It’s worse than that.” Ross nodded slightly.

“Like Stark, I lost my father early, but my father didn’t die in a car accident, but because he went to jail for a lawsuit, was sentenced to twenty-five years, and died there of a sudden illness before he could get out. My mother’s relationship between the two was on the verge of breaking up before he went to prison, and in my memory, they argued and fought every day, and then broke up completely, and went to the west alone, so I was brought up by my grandfather and grandmother, because of everything that happened as a child, the heart was full of resentment, can you imagine how a boy who hates society will treat the world? ”

Pepper’s expression was somewhat complicated, and he listened carefully to Ross’s story.

“Before that change, I was a piano genius in the community, and my parents wanted me to use my talent to become an artist, but then everything changed, and throughout elementary school, I was the least welcome person in the school, and people would come up to me and ask, ‘Rose, when is your dad out of jail?’ , and then I will repay them with my fists … Now that I think about it, from elementary school to middle school, I fought for eleven grades…”

“You must have been in pain then.” Pepper in turn patted the back of Ross’s hand, just as Ross had done to her when she complained.

“It’s okay.” Raising his eyebrows, Ross raised his head expressionlessly and looked at the few seagulls flying in the sky.

“I just lost my goal, my family was in a bad financial situation, and once people gave up hope, it was easy to fall. Fall. Since middle school, I learned to blackmail my classmates like a scoundrel in school, putting their money into my pocket, when all the boys in the school were beaten by me, and every time they saw me, they would tremble and take the initiative to deliver the banknotes to my hand… But I wasn’t happy because I knew I would never have friends because everyone couldn’t help but turn backwards when they saw me… So at that time, my only pastime was to read the books and notes left by my father and fantasize about being a respected scientist with normal friends and family…”

Ross has said these words to many reporters, and his experience has been published in newspapers, but listening to him talk about his personal experience in person, Pepper was far more infected than the description of the lead letters, as if behind every depressed tone there was a bitter past, but the person concerned deliberately buried it and did not want to be known.

A woman’s sensibility makes her hold it unconsciously. Grabbed the back of Ross’s hand, trying to give him some comfort.

Feeling the delicate palm of his hand, Ross smiled slightly in his heart, and he deliberately paused, waiting for Pepper to digest the previous deeds and continue to tell his story.

“…… After high school, I still lived a solitary life, when my grandparents and father had passed away, my mother had little contact, and no one but her said to me ‘Rose, you should cheer up’, never… At that time, I thought, maybe one day, I will fall to the side of the road in some conflict and die in obscurity… Until one day, I really encountered danger, was beaten by Spider-Man, and when I fell to the ground and everyone left me, I suddenly came to my senses, I can’t go on like this! ”

“So… Is it who you are now? Pepper said a little confused, in her opinion, Ross’s experience is not only similar to Tony, but even subtly overlaps with her current situation, she is also lost in her own life, not knowing what her relationship with Stark is.

In her own opinion, her concern for Tony is also somewhat beyond the employment relationship, as if there is talk behind the company, a bad woman who tries to get power close to her employer, but she can’t leave Tony, and after years as a secretary, Pepper no longer knows how to live independently.

Maybe Ross’s experience may have given me some inspiration—- in the dark, Pepper’s heart moved, and the hand covering the back of Ross’s hand unconsciously brought some strength.

“As you probably know, Dr. Connors and I invented the Physique Enhancement Formula, sold it to Osborne to get our first funding, and then took the opportunity, made several good deals in a row, and now have our own lab, and the prospects look good.” Now although we only have advantages in technology and cannot find reliable management talents, we are still full of hope for the future, I believe that I will step by step, plan my life carefully, live better every day than the day before, I will surpass all my opponents, build an unprecedented career, and completely ignore those who once looked down on me and regarded me as the son of a criminal who can never raise his head. ”

After saying it in one breath, Ross Jiao. At this time, Pepper was also completely moved by him, holding his hand and shaking it vigorously.

“I believe you can do it… No, no, you’ve done it, Ross! You’re already a big guy! ”

The female secretary’s cheeks were slightly red with excitement, and her eyes were a little shi.

“Compared to you, I am the one who has no direction! I’ve been following Tony for almost ten years, and as long as he opens his mouth, I can do anything for him, including picking up clothes for the women he brings from outside… But I never thought about what my life should be like, maybe you’re right, Tony hasn’t changed, he’s just matured… I should find a time to talk to him…”

She was a little incoherent, and Ross lost no time in pushing in the back.

“What are you good at, I mean things other than life?”

Pepper was a little embarrassed, she didn’t have any special training in any area.

“…… I can use four Chinese words proficiently, and if the requirements are not too high, I can add two more… Maybe I can find an assistant position…”

Before she finished speaking, Ross had already shook her head repeatedly.

“Oh my God, why don’t you think differently!” He waved his hand vigorously to put Pepper’s shame. Shame to wave to cloud nine.

“Don’t you find that your ability to deal with people is the most important capital? Who helped Stark keep the company organized? Who is it to entertain celebrities from all walks of life on his behalf? Who assists in the company’s affairs, who accompanies important meetings… Isn’t it all Pepper Potts? You know how a large business works, have seen a lot of big people, know some unspoken rules in the industry, which makes you fundamentally different from the average person. With such qualifications, you still think that you can only be a small assistant? Rose made a look of hatred, making Pepper ashamed of his conservatism. Shame.

“If it weren’t for your resignation, I would have wanted to hire you to my laboratory, God knows how bad our management methods are, he has only seen a hundred people research institute before, and he doesn’t know how to manage the laboratory of six thousand people, and our scale will expand in the future, thinking about the current performance, I am really afraid that there will be any trouble in the future!”

Ross grumbled, and his encouragement gave Pepper confidence again.

That’s right, apart from the aura brought by Stark, she still has quite ability.

“Do you know what kind of person I think Pepper is?”

While Pepper was thinking about it, Rose was already half-kneeling in front of her, crouching. The body stared at her clear pupils with sincere eyes, and the warm body heat was silently transmitted from the palms of the hands held by the two, and it was immersed all the time. Penetrate to the heart. Pepper subconsciously struggled a little, but this time Ross shook it. Held the palm of his hand and did not let her go.

“The Pepper in my mind is such a woman, she is gentle and competent, and she is elegant. People, not only that, but also the most gracious person I have ever met, who can illuminate someone’s life and put it on track, and who is talented and has the potential to rival the leaders of any business. Now she is a little confused, but only temporarily out of balance, but I believe that she will find a direction worthy of her struggle. ”

Ross held Pepper’s hand tightly, and soon Pepper’s face burned red.

“You said me too well…”, she said with a whimper, her eyes couldn’t help but move with Rose’s figure.

In terms of age, Ross is obviously just a big boy who has just come of age, but the charm exuded at this moment is extremely sincere. People, completely different from the frivolous Tony, felt the temperature in the palm of her hand, she couldn’t help her heart thumping wildly, and quickly turned her gaze away and did not dare to contact him.

“Thank you, Ross. But I should go… There is still work waiting for me. She hastily explained, turning and fleeing like a thief.

At the moment of the breakup, several faint flashes flashed in the grass not far away.
