Marvel's female superheroine travels through multiple worlds

She did it on purpose, knowing that Pepper would be visiting Blackwatch Sky Fortress today, and brought her here specifically to see someone make a fool of themselves.

"Wow, nice to meet you, miss. I don't think I know you."

Tony squinted at Maya Hansen. There were so many people he had romantic entanglements with that he couldn't remember who she was for a long time.

Maya Hansen gave an awkward yet polite smile. What had happened today felt like a dream, completely unreal.

One moment they were working for Killian in AIM, and the next their lab was surrounded by the Blackwatch Steel Legion!

Then, more than a dozen Extremis were instantly wiped out, and even Killian himself was vaporized by Supergirl's laser eye...

Before she could even prepare herself, she was lifted onto a plane by a group of female warriors in black uniforms and taken to this futuristic aerial fortress.

"Tony, are you sure you don't want to introduce him?" Pepper glanced at Tony sideways, her voice carrying a hint of threat.

“Okay, Dr. Maya Hansen, a plant scientist, we had related scientific exchanges a few years ago.”

Tony's memory wasn't bad after all, and he quickly remembered the other person's identity, so he downplayed the issue.

The current girlfriend meets the ex-girlfriend—what a chaotic scene! No one can get him to tell the truth today!

“Hello, nice to meet you, I’m Pepper Potts,” Pepper greeted politely as she stepped forward.

“Hello, strictly speaking, I never dated him; it was more like a one-night stand,” Maya Hansen said with an awkward smile, introducing herself directly.

In fact, she had hoped that Tony could help with the research and optimization of the Extremis virus, but unfortunately, he was a billionaire and a very busy man, and she couldn't even see him since that night.

“That’s right, we haven’t talked, we’re not familiar with each other,” Tony quickly nodded in agreement.

"Hmph, this looks like something you would do," Pepper said with a death stare and a forced smile.

"What can I do for you, Maya Hansen?" Tony pretended not to see her and walked up to ask, puzzled.

He realized that Lu Yunmeng was here today to cause trouble and make a fool of herself.

“Um, actually… I…” Maya Hansen hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat embarrassed and unsure of where to begin.

Pepper realized that the two had something to discuss, so she used the excuse of continuing her tour of the air fortress, glared at Tony, and then left.

Only the two of them were left feeling awkward, and the guy who was laughing so hard he was practically rolling on the floor watching the drama unfold.

"Don't tell me you're pregnant with my child..." Tony was completely taken aback, feeling like he had guessed the truth.

“No…” Maya Hansen really didn’t know what to say.

“Alright, Tony, she’s a scientist I invited from Blackwatch to study the Extremis virus,” Lu Yunmeng explained, suppressing a laugh.

"What virus?" Tony asked, puzzled.

"Remember when I said I had a way to repair your body? It's that big hole in your chest," Lu Yunmeng pointed to her chest with her finger and continued to explain.

"Seriously? I remember you studied plants, right? You can even repair the human body?" Tony asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.

As I recall, this beautiful female scientist, with whom I had a one-night stand, was researching a technology for rapid plant regeneration, and he even helped write a conversion formula.

“Strictly speaking, I am a scientist conducting research on gene coding modification; the plants are merely experimental subjects.” Maya Hansen sighed and explained earnestly, “The Extremis virus does indeed possess the ability of the human body to heal itself, but it is still unstable at present.”

“Lu, don’t joke around. I’m curious about how you two met.” Tony glanced at Maya Hansen, pulled Lu Yunmeng aside, and asked in a low voice.

He racked his brains but still couldn't understand how Superwoman got involved with his one-night stand.

Moreover, being invited to Blackwatch's top-secret aerial fortress clearly indicates that this matter is not so simple.

“Dr. Maya Hansen is an outstanding scientist, I think you wouldn’t disagree,” Lu Yunmeng said with a smile, instead of answering the question directly.

"Hmm." Tony nodded. This one-night stand was indeed outstanding, and the research topic was very advanced.

"She was found by Blackwatch's intelligence network during the talent screening process. After checking her information, I discovered that she has a story with you that I can't tell."

“Dr. Maya Hansen previously worked for AIM Corporation, researching the Extremis virus, and has entered the second phase.”

"For your health's sake, I very kindly invited her to join Blackwatch, didn't I, Dr. Hansen?" Lu Yunmeng explained with a mischievous smile.

"Yes, yes, I'm so happy to receive Supergirl's invitation!" Maya Hansen nodded nervously, as if she were pounding garlic. She was afraid that if she answered too slowly, Supergirl would throw her into space!

Without a word, he wiped out Killian and the powerful Extremis warriors; his radical personality and actions are terrifying.

Since I'm already here, I might as well make the best of it. I joined Killian's company originally just to pursue my pure scientific dreams and make some money on the side.

Now it seems that research can be conducted anywhere.

Maya Hansen was amazed by the technologically advanced steel fortress she had just walked through. Blackwatch's strong financial resources and technological capabilities could better promote research on the Extremis virus, so why not?

"AIM Corporation, that name sounds familiar. Such a talented scientist jumped ship here. Was the previous company's compensation too poor?"

Tony stared at the two of them with great suspicion and asked, puzzled, "Something seems fishy about this."

“AIM just went bankrupt, the bankruptcy liquidation was done an hour ago, so I poached them.” Lu Yunmeng gave a perfunctory answer, thinking that if she could, there was no need for Tony to know about this.

The mission to annihilate Killian and his associates, and to eliminate all of AIM's data, was carried out in secrecy.

As the supreme commander of Blackwatch, Elosil led the second squad in maintaining strict secrecy; even Tony, the second-in-command, didn't know what they were doing.

"Red Queen, retrieve the data on the Extremis virus." Lu Yunmeng took out a portable hard drive from her pocket, plugged it into the computer, and then spoke.

[Command confirmed. External hard drive read. Target data obtained.]

Extremist Virus

[By injecting chemical agents into the body, the organism's gene sequence is rewritten, telomerase is optimized, and the reaction area of ​​the brain's central nervous system is altered, thereby repairing and enabling the organism to heal itself.]

[It possesses functions such as nerve repair, limb regeneration, wound healing, and enhancement of bodily functions.]

[Based on the main system's detection and analysis, this Extremis virus is a semi-finished product. Injection will cause the body to generate high temperatures, accompanied by the risk of uncontrolled self-destruction.]

The Red Queen superprocessor quickly read the relevant information about the Extremis virus and performed a detailed summary and analysis.

"An alternative super soldier serum?" Tony was quickly drawn to it.

He was drunk and only cared about sleeping with Maya Hansen, but he didn't think too deeply about it. He casually wrote a formula that could achieve this.

More than two years later, the nightmare of the Afghan caves has not yet faded.

Shrapnel inside the body is like a time bomb, which could block blood vessels and cause suffocation and death at any time.

The reactor on your chest may look cool, but it comes with the risk of radiation and poisoning.

If it weren't for the discovery of a new element to replace palladium some time ago, he would have been dead by now.

Tony is constantly thinking about how to restore his body to that of a normal person!

I have to say, he was tempted!

“As I understand it, the Extremis virus has extraordinary potential, and if properly optimized, it should be able to surpass the unstable Super Soldier Serum,” Lu Yunmeng explained calmly, arms crossed.

The Super Soldier Serum may seem powerful, but it actually carries many risks. If Dr. Erkins hadn't died, the serum might have been even more perfect.

However, it is clear that the success rate of the incomplete version of the super soldier serum, developed based on the data left behind after the doctor's death, was greatly reduced.

Aside from Captain America Steve Rogers, very few people have successfully undergone the transformation through injection.

But the Extremis virus is different; it can enhance the human body in every way and even create ultra-high temperature attack methods like biological weapons.

In terms of both extensibility and functionality, the Extremis virus is superior to the Super Soldier Serum.

Chapter 95 The Missing Exploration Team

Ultimately, Tony agreed to let Maya Hansen join the team.

Blackwatch doesn't have many scientists to begin with, and while Melina's leech potion is excellent, it's nowhere near as effective as the Extremis virus in terms of healing abilities.

Although Dr. Banner has a PhD in biology, his expertise is more inclined towards physics, as is that of Dr. Betty.

Dr. Maya Hansen could enhance Blackwatch's research and development in the biological field, simply by paying her an extra salary.

Aside from the awkward one-night stand between her and Tony, everything else was fine.

Maya Hansen is highly qualified and very motivated. She started research work on the day she joined the company and is very dedicated.

“Lu, tell me the truth, why is Maya Hansen afraid of you? What did you do to her?” Tony asked in a low voice when he found a moment.

He wasn't stupid; he felt that Maya Hansen's appearance was too sudden, without any warning, and that Lu Yunmeng had obviously used some means.

“Okay, to tell you the truth, I robbed a terrorist company, helped you eliminate a mad scientist who was obsessed with revenge against you, and then brought back the company’s last remaining talent.” Lu Yunmeng pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth.

It's fine to keep it from others, but Tony is clearly the type with a strong sense of curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Even if you don't tell anyone now, he'll find out in the future anyway, so it's better to just be straightforward.

"What? You mean AIM is a terrorist company? Someone wants revenge against me?"

Tony looked puzzled and asked, quite perplexed.

He was already recalling whether he had slept with a married woman during those absurd days.

"Aldrezi Killian, do you remember the disability drug research expert who waited for you for more than an hour on the freezing rooftop?"

Lu Yunmeng calmly pulled up the system data and displayed it on the big screen, helping Tony recall his messy past.

“Okay, I remember. I think it was the founder of AIM. I stood him up on Christmas Eve.”

Tony glanced at the face on the screen, and it quickly matched his memory. He sighed helplessly.

As the only son of the Stark family, a major American capitalist family, and the chairman of Stark Industries, a billionaire, he wouldn't just take any random person who comes along and wants to cooperate seriously.

But I didn't expect that my actions seemed to have seriously hurt the other party. What a fragile heart!

"That's right. He was originally your die-hard fan, then his love turned to hatred, and he devoted himself to researching the Extremis Virus in preparation for taking revenge on you."

"The current Extremis virus is very unstable and lacks any breakthroughs."

"This person recruited a large number of so-called volunteers to conduct human experiments, and more than a dozen people have already died because their bodies could not tolerate the virus."

"I scattered AIM's ashes, transferred the assets to Blackwatch, and as for those involved, those with blood on their hands disappeared on the spot, and those without blood on their hands were dismissed."

"Right now, only you, me, and Dr. Hansen know anything about the Extremis virus. Elohill and the others have completely erased all traces of it."

Lu Yunmeng revealed a playful expression and explained slowly and meaningfully.

With over a dozen lives on his hands, and a potential threat at stake, there's nothing more to say about it than nipping it in the bud.

It would be laughable if the case were handed over to the government and the law for trial.

Lu Yunmeng, who possesses the memories of her predecessor, knows all too well how many loopholes exist in American capital laws.

Strictly speaking, these laws were originally designed for the poor and ordinary people to abide by, and have no bearing on the rich and those in power.

“Maya Hansen went astray purely for scientific research, but her crime doesn’t warrant death, so there’s still a need to redeem her,” Lu Yunmeng continued.
