Chapter 3 Tony's Decision
"Let's go~" Lin Yi said, picked up an apple from the fruit plate and was about to leave, but then thought for a moment and came back to pick up the whole fruit plate.
Come back home!
It's not that he doesn't have money for food; he's helped Stark a lot over the years and has received some compensation in return.
It's just that free fruit tastes sweeter!
Tony watched Lin Yi leave speechlessly, ultimately saying nothing.
Only after Lin Yi's figure disappeared into the woods did he unable to help but laugh and mutter, "That little rascal..."
After cursing, he sighed, his brows furrowed, and nestled on the sofa, his chaotic thoughts impossible to unravel.
As darkness fell and Friday automatically turned on the lights, Tony slowly came to his senses.
He believed the theory of time hijacking was highly improbable, but now a living example is before our eyes.
After struggling internally for a long time, Tony finally waved his hand helplessly and instructed Friday to start building the theoretical model before looking across the wooden house in the direction of Lin Yi's residence.
Five years ago, Thanos snapped his fingers and took away half of his friends and comrades.
After suffering multiple blows, he was exhausted and moved with Pepper to this relatively quiet lakeside cabin.
It was around that time that he discovered he had a new "neighbor" in his woods.
At first, he didn't care, thinking that Lin Yi was also a pitiful person who lost everything in that disaster. As long as it didn't affect them, it wouldn't hurt for him to stay for a while, since the forest was big enough.
But for safety reasons, he still had it investigated on Friday.
But the result was quite unexpected for Tony. Lin Yi seemed to have appeared out of thin air, with no past records whatsoever, as if he had never existed.
Tony became alert and immediately put on his MK85 nanotech suit to "visit" the place.
It was ostensibly a test, but in reality, it was an attempt to drive them away.
But after talking to him, although the kid's words were a bit annoying, I didn't really sense any malice from him, and his eyes were clear.
That clarity made him momentarily dazed, and the image of Peter Parker's young and innocent face appeared in his mind.
It hadn't been long since Peter Parker had turned to ashes in his arms. This emotion momentarily confused Tony, and he impulsively agreed to let Lin Yi stay in the woods.
This decision was extremely irrational; Tony, who had been through so much, shouldn't easily trust anyone. But the words had already been spoken, so he could only have Friday monitor the woods all day.
However, just two or three years later, Tony was incredibly grateful for the irrational decision he had made back then.
Tony regretted agreeing to let Lin Yi stay not long after. He discovered that Lin Yi and Peter were completely different personalities.
Peter is a promising young man who, although a bit unconventional, is mostly obedient.
Lin Yi... is a completely unruly little rascal.
He would come over to freeload meals whenever he had a chance, and he would carry Morgan around everywhere. He would say that he was Morgan's idol, but his eyes would always be glancing at Morgan's Mark armor and reactor.
"Heh, the little rascal's been exposed, hasn't he?" Tony thought to himself with a cold laugh.
But over time, amidst this noisy and teasing life, the two actually became friends.
Tony no longer dwells on Lin Yi's past. Everyone has their own secrets, and throughout his long superhero career, he has learned to respect each other.
But later, Lin Yi actually had the audacity to ask him for a set of Mark armor, saying it was payment for helping him carry Morgan!
How could he say that? He didn't even ask him for rent! Of course Tony wouldn't give it to him.
We're giving it away! We're giving away the Mark armor!
In the end, Lin Yi still managed to "scam" him out of a set of MK50 nano armor.
How should I put it? Apart from the set given to Rhodes due to various reasons related to MJ (of course, there were also reasons of friendship), Lin Yi was the first person to take the armor from him.
The reason Tony gave Lin Yi a set of MK50s was because of the incident that almost drove Tony crazy, and it was also the irrational decision Tony was extremely glad he made at the time to agree to let Lin Yi stay.
That was more than three years after the snap, and little Morgan was almost three years old.
The real world is not always bright. Some victims who lost loved ones in the snap of their fingers transformed their endless grief into a crazy hatred for the avengers.
They blamed everything on the Avengers, smeared them relentlessly online, and even took more extreme actions.
It was an ordinary day when the Avengers headquarters was attacked.
Although Tony had largely retired from the spotlight, his sense of responsibility and habit still compelled him to don his armor and go to provide support.
Having just resolved the base's troubles, Friday brought an alarm that nearly stopped his heart—the lakeside cabin had been attacked, and three unregistered Chitauri missiles, bypassing the defense network in an unknown manner, were hurtling towards his home.
Tony's eyes immediately turned red, and his mind went completely blank.
He flew back to the cabin as fast as he could, but it was too late.
All that could be seen were towering flames, billowing smoke, and a scorched wasteland utterly destroyed.
No Pepper, no Morgan...
Just as he felt the whole world collapsing in despair, Lin Yi's figure slowly descended from the smoke-filled sky.
He had Pepper tucked under his left armpit, and in his right hand he was supporting little Morgan, who looked on with curiosity, as if they were playing some new game...
At that moment, Tony felt his life, which had just gone completely dark, was rekindled. He was overwhelmed with immense luck and gratitude.
Afterwards, he thought for a long time about how to thank Lin Yi.
Money? This kid has helped him a lot, and the amount in his account is already quite considerable, so he doesn't spend much money.
Furthermore, given their relationship and Lin Yi's actions, he himself felt it was inappropriate to thank Tony with money.
Finally, he decided to fulfill Lin Yi's initial wish—to give him a set of armor.
"I'll temporarily 'lend' you this MK50 to help you... well, better familiarize yourself with and master your superpowers, and incidentally, help me collect some data..."
Well, in the adult world, some things don't need to be said so explicitly.
However, to be honest, Lin Yi got tired of wearing this armor after only a short while.
Although the armor was very cool, it was far inferior to his body, which had been enhanced by the sun, in terms of speed, strength, and destructive power.
To this day, aside from occasionally taking it out to show off, the reactor housing the MK50 mostly sits on the table as a dusty decoration, much to Tony's dismay...
"Sigh..." Tony snapped out of his reverie and rubbed his temples.
Time hijacking, lost companions, and the relatively stable life he now leads... Tony goes through his thoughts again and again, and finally stands up, his eyes gradually hardening.
Doing nothing is not in his nature...
Lin Yi had no idea that Tony had spent most of the night brainstorming after he left.
Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Lin Yi basked in the sun as usual, occasionally playing childish games with little Morgan.
When Tony stood before him, holding a bracelet and looking energetic despite his dark circles, Lin Yi knew that the plot was unfolding just like in the movie.
