Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 117 A Little Gift for Nick
In an office in the mechanical laboratory, experimental center, dimensional city.

Ivan Vanko, who had been implanted with the Mark of Loyalty by Jonathan using the Sage's Blade, was now sleeping soundly on the sofa.

The purpose of bringing Ivan in was to prepare for the mechanical laboratory.

On the other hand, it was to allow Ivan to carry out the miniaturization of the Ark reactor.

This is also why Jonathan went to great lengths to explain the whole story to Tony Stark.

After all, given my current relationship with him, it is impossible not to have dealings with him in the future.

Jonathan also didn't like Ivan Vanko becoming a barrier between him and Tony.

Several hours later, Ivan Vanko finally woke up from anesthesia.

When he saw Jonathan, his first reaction was to attack him.

But then, for some reason, he felt that he could not attack Jonathan.

For a moment, he felt a little strange.

But after a while, it seemed that the loyalty mark had the self-correcting ability, and Ivan Vanko also accepted the idea of ​​being loyal to Jonathan.

"Ivan, this is the mechanical laboratory. It will be your territory from now on."

After saying that, Jonathan pointed to the cyborg assistant beside him.

"This is a cyborg assistant specially assigned for you. You can ask him if you have any questions."

Ivan Vanko glanced at the cyborg beside him and nodded.

After seeing that Ivan Vanko gradually accepted his new identity, Jonathan asked him to cooperate with other cyborgs to destroy the Ark reactor in the dimensional city.

Updated to a new reactor using new elements.

In fact, after building the vacuum magnetic levitation track, Jonathan also discovered that the power output of the Ark reactor was almost unable to keep up.

Fortunately, Ivan has now made up for the shortcomings in energy.

Jonathan just had to wait for the new new element reactor to come online.

The production process of the new elements is all on the central server, and Ivan Vanko can check it at any time.

Oracle Corporation's artificial scenic spot.

At this time, employees of SHIELD were holding various instruments and scanning the door floating in the air.

It seems like he wants to crack the secret of the door's suspension.

"Sir! High energy reaction detected!"

Suddenly, the numbers on the instrument in an agent's hand began to change dramatically.

For this door, Nick Fury called all the elites of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Except Coulson was on a business trip to the land of enchantment, New Mexico.

Others such as Maria Hill, Hawkeye Clinton Barton, and Black Widow Natasha Romanoff were all present.

Including Crossbones Brock Rumlow of Hydra was also present.

Of course, Nick Fury doesn't know yet that SHIELD has been infiltrated by Hydra.

"Everyone be prepared for emergencies!" Nick Fury immediately gave orders to all agents after looking at the readings.

Hearing this, all the agents became nervous.

They all raised their weapons and aimed at the dimensional gate in the air.

Afterwards, as the dimensional gate opened.

Jonathan and Pepper came out.

Then Jonathan did not expect that the dimensional gate would remain suspended in the same state as when he entered.

So his right foot almost stepped on empty air, but fortunately, his reaction nerves were quick and he used telekinesis to stabilize his body in an instant.

He also held up Pepper who was about to fall.

Looking at Jonathan coming out of the dimensional gate, all the agents were a little nervous.

After all, compared to them, Jonathan was like someone at a higher level in life, which made him feel oppressive.

It makes them very uncomfortable.

When Jonathan just came out, he saw countless guns pointing at him, which made him a little unhappy for a moment.

As the door that lost the blessing of dimensional power fell to the ground with a loud bang, Jonathan looked at Nick Fury with a frosty face and asked.

"Nick Fury. What do you mean?"

"Mr. Jonathan, I just want to talk to you." Nick Fury waved his hand and asked everyone to put down their weapons.

After hearing this, although everyone was quite hesitant, they still obeyed Nick Fury's order and put down their guns.

Of course, there are also some mavericks, such as Crossbones and Brock Rumlow.

This guy is also a tough guy. He has not undergone any physical enhancement, but he can fight Captain America on equal terms with just a pair of hydraulic gloves.

Now, he is still loyal to Hydra, so after hearing Nick Fury's order, he did not put down his gun immediately.

After all, Rumlow did not fully trust Nick Fury.

It was his hesitation that made Jonathan even more unhappy.

Jonathan was about to lose his temper when so many people pointed guns at him, but fortunately Nick Fury ordered these people to put down their guns in time.

This made Jonathan feel a little better.

However, Rumlow's behavior was undoubtedly walking into a trap.

He doesn't care whether Hydra will do anything weird.

Jonathan used telekinesis to grab Crossbones Rumlow and threw him directly at Nick Fury's feet.

Then he said, "Nick Fury. Let's talk later. I'll give you a small gift first." At this time, everyone reacted and wanted to raise their weapons at Jonathan, but they were quickly stopped by Nick Fury, who reacted a little faster.

He looked at Rumlow on the ground and asked, "What is the greeting gift?"

"Go back and thoroughly investigate your SHIELD. I wonder if half of you don't belong to Hydra."

After saying that, Jonathan didn't wait for Fury to say anything, and he directly lifted Pepper Potts into the air.

Rumlow, who was lying at Nick Fury's feet, narrowed his eyes when he heard Jonathan mention Hydra.

I thought, how did this guy know this?
And this micro-expression happened to be seen by Nick Fury.

Now, Nick Fury also began to believe what Jonathan said.

However, Nick Fury is the most suspicious person in the Marvel Universe.

Of course, he would not just believe Jonathan's one-sided words.

"Agent Rumlow, I believe you are innocent. But for your safety, I think you should be suspended for the time being."

Nick Fury looked at Rumlow meaningfully and said.

Rumlow also knew that if he resisted now, it would undoubtedly increase his suspicion.

So he obediently handed his weapon to Nick Fury, with an expression that said, "It's up to you to decide."

In fact, Rumlow was already thinking about contacting Alexander Pierce as soon as he returned.

After all, the intrigues among the upper echelons are not something that a small soldier like him, who is responsible for execution, should be involved in.

Stark Tower, top floor.

On the terrace, Tony Stark and Rhodes were enjoying the night view and drinking beer.

And eat some snacks from time to time.

"What are we waiting for?"

Thinking that he and Tony Stark had been blowing in the night breeze for several hours, Rhodes was getting a little impatient.

He asked Tony Stark directly.

Tony ignored him and looked a little uneasy.

After all, he didn't know whether his trust in Jonathan would be betrayed.

"Sir, this is a call from Mr. Jonathan. Do you want to answer it?" Jarvis' voice suddenly sounded.

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark stood up from his seat.

"Connect! Quick!"

He looked very excited.

"Hey, Tony. Where are you now? I'm taking Pepper back."

After the call was connected, Jonathan directly explained the reason for contacting Tony.

After hearing Jonathan's words, Tony Stark finally felt relieved.

"I'm at Stark Tower, on the rooftop terrace. Just come over."

Relieved, Tony hung up the call with Jonathan.

He sat down and took a big gulp of beer.

"The person you just talked to is your friend?" Rhodes asked.

Tony nodded.

Rhodes was also very curious about Jonathan. After all, he could fly and use superpowers.

Rhodes estimated that after he returned, the military would inevitably ask him for some information about him, so he also wanted to learn more from Tony.

"How did he do it?" Rhodes continued to ask.

Tony shrugged and said, "I'm not sure about that."

Rhodes' identity is there, and Tony is not a fool, so he naturally won't say too much.

Although both of them are his friends, Tony may seem to be a talkative person, but he is not the kind of person who would betray his teammates at critical moments.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Tony, Rhodes gave up.

After all, since I asked it myself, I feel that I am worthy of the military pay I receive.

At this time, Jonathan finally appeared on the top floor of Stark Building with Pepper.

Because Pepper was protected by Jonathan's telekinesis throughout the whole process, apart from being a little frightened, she did not suffer from facial paralysis caused by the cold wind.

However, when she stood on the terrace and saw Tony Stark not far away, all his fear of heights disappeared.

She walked up quickly.

Tony Stark looked at her and thought she wanted to come over and hug him.

So Tony gave Rhoades a proud smile and walked towards Pepper.

However, the expected warm hug did not appear, but Tony Stark was slapped on the cheek by Pepper Potts.

Then a red palm print instantly appeared on Tony's face.

Then, when Tony Stark was a little confused, Pepper came forward and hugged him tightly.

It made him even more confused.

Tony Stark: "Who am I? Where am I? Why did this woman hit me?"

Ignoring Tony Stark's psychological drama.

Pepper pushed him away again, and then asked in an unhappy tone, "Why didn't you tell me you were going to die soon!?"
