Under Tony's arrangement, everyone got on the plane back to New York. On the plane, everyone's faces were not very good...

Ashes was because her head was robbed by others, and she also discovered a weakness in herself... and Clara was not very happy because of Ashes' bad mood.

As for Tony, he stayed with Pepper, who had regained his composure and was no longer in danger of explosion, with a worried look on his face.

Although Pepper's restless vitality has been temporarily suppressed by the ashes, the danger has not been eliminated. The Extremis virus is still transforming her body, turning him into an Extremis warrior bit by bit...

After all, the fire of life from the ashes could only suppress the restless vitality, but could not expel the medicine flowing in Pepper's veins.

As for Maya Hansen, who knows whether she was taken away by CIA, FBI, or someone from SHIELD. It seems that she is to be questioned and investigated... After all, she has participated in countless terrorist attacks. All this has nothing to do with him.

It cannot be separated.

The worried Tony Stark came to Ashes, looked at Ashes who was also frowning and asked, "Do you think... Pepper, can it be cured? The effect of the Extremis virus is too intense. This kind of thing

Changing a person at a genetic level, I worry..."

Hui Jin looked at Tony who was full of worry, and waved his hand helplessly, "Why are you worried here? I've already told you that Pepper has nothing serious to do for the time being. With me here, she won't let her go so easily."

Even if you want to die, you have to ask me if I agree..."

"No, Ashes, I have never doubted this, but... I have always been protecting Pepper. This is my responsibility! But this time, Ashes, I almost failed, I almost lost her... I don't know

, will something like this happen again in the future..."

Looking at Tony with a decadent face, Hui Jin sighed deeply, then reached out and patted Tony on the shoulder, comforting him slowly, "You have always done well, haven't you? Don't deny it just because of one failure.

My past success, if you ask me, this is actually an opportunity!"

"Opportunity?" Hearing Hui Jing's words, Tony couldn't help but be a little surprised. Why did this guy say that it was an opportunity for his girlfriend to be infected by an unknown virus and turn into a monster that could explode at any time?

"Listen to me, Tony, you can't protect Pepper anytime and anywhere. In that case, what's the difference between Pepper and the canary you raised? Let me tell you, why not take advantage of this opportunity to let Pepper

She has also become stronger, not only to let her go out to punish evil and promote good like you, but at the very least, let her protect herself, right?"

Hearing Ashes' words, Tony frowned deeply, "You mean... let me use the Extremis virus to give Pepper super powers?"

Ashes nodded lightly, and Tony pinched his chin and began to think about the feasibility...With himself and Ashes here, if this thing is really done, it will be possible in all likelihood, but...Little Pepper would really like that.

Life? Does she really... want to become a person with power?

With this question in mind, Tony and Ashes came to the compartment where Pepper was resting. Looking at Pepper lying on the bed in a coma, Tony's eyes flashed with a trace of remorse and determination...

He deeply loves the smart, capable, and considerate woman in front of him. She may not be the most beautiful one he has ever met, but she must be the one he loves the most... He doesn't want to see Pepper suffer like this anymore...

"Do me a favor, Ashes..."

"No problem~"

After getting off the plane, Tony took Pepper to his home. Under the protection of ashes, the property was still intact. Except for a few broken glass, everything was intact...

Carrying Little Pepper into his laboratory, Tony nodded gently towards the ashes beside him.

Taking out a syringe, Tony pierced Pepper's body and drew out a tube of her blood. What he wanted to do now was what Killian and Maya Hansen once longed for, to perfect the Extremis virus! And Ashes,

Is here to help Tony complete some work that he can't complete.

For example, provide pepper with huge vitality...

According to Tony's estimation, even if he completes the optimization of the Extremis virus, this kind of thing still has flaws, because matter and energy do not appear out of thin air, and the same is true for vitality. Even if he optimizes the Extremis virus for Little Pepper, she can freely

Controlling this powerful force allows her to avoid the risk of self-explosion, but the life force she uses is still Pepper's life force... In short, her life span will be shortened!

This is what Tony doesn't want to see, so now it's Ashes' turn to take action. Ashes will provide Pepper with a source of life energy to replenish her vitality!

But this matter needs to be hidden from Pepper. She must not be allowed to know! She must not be allowed to understand that she can actually be cured and become an ordinary person!

Because in this case, she will have a certain amount of resistance! This is what Tony does not want to see, so Tony made a selfish decision... In order to protect Pepper, he had to do this!

Three days later, Tony, who had been working for three full days, looked at Pepper, who had been anesthetized by himself and was still lying on the bed in a coma. Tony took a deep breath and inserted the needle in his hand into her body.

, the amber potion was slowly pushed into Pepper's body...

This is the result of three days of work, an improved variety of the Extremis virus! With this improved agent, Pepper can escape the dependence of the Extremis virus, and at the same time, she can perfectly control the power that the Extremis virus brings to her!

Now... all we need is a perfect energy source! Raising his head, Tony looked at the ashes standing aside, which had been prepared long ago, and nodded gently...

A clear flame appeared in Ashes' hand. It was the purest life force, and it was a very powerful life force! If Pepper didn't take the initiative to consume it, at least Pepper would be able to survive hundreds of years like him.

Year!

Slowly sending the fire of life in his hand into Pepper's heart, the flame turned into slurry, flowing along the blood vessels into Pepper's body...

The transformation is complete! Taking a deep breath, Tony turned off the sleeping gas and prepared to wake up Pepper...

Before Tony could do anything, Pepper suddenly opened his eyes on his own initiative and looked at Ashes and Tony standing in front of him...

"This is…"

"It's normal. The vitality in her body is at its strongest right now. Let alone sleeping gas, it can ignore extremely toxic poisons. To put it simply, congratulations, Little Pepper, you will be immune to all poisons from now on~"

"What on earth... happened? Why am I here? I remember that I was injected with the Extremis virus by Killian. He wanted to use this to blackmail you. Tony, what on earth happened!"

Looking at Pepper with a curious face, Tony sighed softly, "It's all over. Killian is dead. We rescued you, but... the Extremis virus has completely infected you, and we can't kill it."

Expelled from your body, but... we still tried our best to save you..."

"So... what did you do to me?" After touching his body up and down, Pepper looked at the two people standing in front of him in fear... Even Ashes and Tony couldn't calm Pepper's heart.

Come down…

"Listen to me, Pepper, we have optimized the Extremis virus. You will not rely on that kind of thing like other Extremis warriors like drug addicts, and you will not be in danger of self-destruction anytime and anywhere, just...just like normal

Like people, Pepper…”

"Except that you can now warm yourself anytime, anywhere and regenerate severed limbs, you are really no different from ordinary people..."

"Does this mean it's no different? I...I turned into a monster?" Hearing the explanations of the two, Pepper became even more frightened. This feeling of turning from human to non-human may only be experienced after personal experience.

That unspeakable uneasiness and fear...

Looking at Pepper who was starting to tremble all over, Tony stepped forward and hugged her slowly, "It's okay, Pepper, you're not a monster, you're still Pepper, you just... just turned into a superman like Captain America!"

It's just that there aren't that many muscles... We can only do this, I have to save your life, I can't bear the pain of losing you anymore..."

"Thank you, Tony, I'm better, am I really... not going to turn into a monster like that? I mean... am I really not going to... explode like them?"

"No way~ Pepper, it's Tony and I who did this for you. Do you think we'll let you blow yourself up? Are you kidding me... And I also injected a huge amount of vitality into you to use your superpowers.

, if you can die naturally before you are a hundred years old, I will lose!"

After hearing Ashes' joke, the uneasiness in Pepper's heart finally disappeared. She breathed a long sigh of relief, put her hands around Tony's waist, leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes...

Looking at the two bitchy men and women in front of him who were spreading dog food around, Hui Jin shrugged helplessly, turned around and left the laboratory. He had done everything he should do, and he had finished helping Tony. He came down...

It’s time to do your own thing!

Taking his new driver's license, Hui Jin drove a luxury car that he liked and drove away from Tony's mansion...

This time, I wasn’t in such a hurry, so Hui Jin didn’t run the red light or anger the traffic police... I just had a peaceful meeting at my home...

"Teacher, I'm back..." Opening the door, Ashes called out to Clara, who had been sent home by him a long time ago.

I saw Clara carrying a bowl full of ingredients and walking out of the kitchen in an apron. She looked at Hui Jin who stepped into the house and said with a smile, "Little Hui Jin, you are back. How is it? Is the matter over? I believe you are hungry too.

, I’m just right…”

"No need! No need... Teacher Da, I ate at Tony's house. I was so full... I couldn't eat at all..."

"That's really a pity...If that's the case, then forget it~"
