Chapter 81 Achilles' Heel
Chapter 81 Achilles' Heel
It was three o'clock in the afternoon. On the first day after Christmas, there was no snow, but the temperature was still very low. The unmelted snow covered the lawn outside the villa, and the reflected sunlight was white.The arc reactor modified by Tony was first used in this villa. The temperature of water heating and heating in the villa is constantly circulating, and the humidity in the house is suitable and very warm.
After the work came to an end, Tony climbed up the stairs holding the handrail of the stairs, and saw the two superheroes with blankets on their knees. Snacks, Barry was talking to Clark while laughing while taking out the bag of potato chips.
When Clark heard Tony approaching, he turned his head, and the Kryptonian asked with a smile, "Are you done?"
Tony walked over with his hands in his hands, Barry patted the empty space beside him, Tony raised his head slightly, looked through the polished floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at three small piles of Q-version snowmen of Superman, Batman and Flash outside the window , Tony watched as Barry "piapia" slapped his hand on the carpet and sat down beside him.
"What are you talking about, smiling so happily?" Tony asked casually.
"We just talked about saving people in our own city last year." Barry's eyes fell on the cat ears of the Q version of Batman. The cat ears that Clark pinched out were pointed and long. Barry smiled, happy and happy .
"I'm telling you, Tony," Barry said, "I just started running super fast and pushed people, and now I can go through walls, spin tornadoes, throw lightning, run Go up high-rise buildings," he said: "Sometimes I feel that I can use the speed force to help people, which makes me very happy."
"Indeed." Tony's voice was a little muffled.
"Is that so?" Barry glanced at Tony's slightly dark face, blinked, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Tony raised his head, he turned his head to one side, his eyes brushed over Barry's neck, intertwined with Clark's, and the Kryptonian's blue eyes, which were clearer than the ocean under the sun, just stared at him for a second or two, and then looked away.
Tony couldn't hold back, raised his voice and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Barry was so fierce that he shrank his neck. When Clark heard Tony's words, he turned his head and looked at Tony again. Clark asked clearly, "Are you ready, Tony?"
"Well," Tony lowered his head again, exhaled a little air from his nose, and said, "You know everything about bats, I don't believe you don't know what I do!"
Sitting between the two, Barry moved back slowly like a 1VS1 separation wall, and Clark said, "Are you saying that you confiscated the weapons of Stark Industries from the terrorists? I know, "Clark's tone was quite relaxed. His eyes were through the glass, but he didn't look at the snowman outside the window. Both of them knew that when Superman looked into the distance, Clark laughed and said: "You also overturned two fighter jets. Is it good?"
"I killed people." Tony looked out of the window a little out of focus: "My bullets and bombs killed those terrorists who kidnapped women and children."
Barry tilted his head to look at Tony, with a bit of doubt in his eyes—so what?Tony understood the meaning in Barry's eyes, and he couldn't help being stunned.
"Bruce and I do have a principle of not killing people. We will never intentionally deprive others of their lives," Clark looked back, looked left and right, touched a bag of seafood pizza-flavored potato chips, and tore it open. Clark ate it. Swallowing potato chips, he said, "Bruce believes that we have no right to decide whether another life lives or dies, so he made it a principle in turn, and I..."
Clark snapped a small piece of potato chips and said, "I think what B said makes a lot of sense."
"Huh." Barry let out a strange cry with his mouth curled up.
"I think," Clark poured the potato chips into his mouth, and said, "If you feel that... how should I put it, you are tortured by all the moral sense, you should talk to the heroine, That Amazonian princess is as cold as winter to her enemies, and she does not hesitate to defend what is right in her heart with blood."
Tony choked out a word: "Okay."
Barry glanced at Tony, then at Clark, very curious, and asked, "Tony, what superpower do you have?"
Tony came back to his senses, blinked, and said, "Rich?" Tony saw Barry's face stuffed with beef/jerky slowly puff up, Tony reacted, and he said, "Don't tell me Clark described it that way Batman's?"
Barry glanced at Clark. Clark's eyes were not focused. He looked in one direction but did not look at the scene outside the window. He said, "Did you design some high-tech battle suit? Can you show me?"
Tony also looked at Clark and said, "The shell parts are being painted. I can show you the blueprint." Tony nudged Barry and whispered, "Don't you wonder what Clark is looking at?"
"I'm curious," Barry leaned over and replied in a low voice, "but the puff pastry has such a tight mouth that you can't even tear it open. Hey...it's really fun to play with bats."
Clark withdrew his gaze. In fact, a small half of his super hearing was focused on the two people around him. He heard the two babbled and complained about him. The more they said, the more they exaggerated. Clark turned his head slowly, his blue eyes full of He looked helplessly at Xiao Shan who was beaming with joy.
"I'm serious!" Clark couldn't help rubbing the top of Barry's head. Barry turned his head and grinned at people, facing the serious eyes of the chairman of the alliance. Barry laughed more and more dryly, and finally put on a serious look. expression.
Clark said: "Just now, CIA, FBI, and S.H.I.E.L.D.," Tony looked over, "Oh, it's the Secret Service whose name is Special Chief and Director is a marinated egg. The agents and agents of the three departments gathered together to open After a meeting, a task force for the 12.25 bombing was formed to investigate the bombing of the Aphrodite Hotel."
"And?" Tony asked, "Something caught your attention."
"The representative of S.H.I.E.L.D. is one of Fury's most trusted subordinates. It's called Phil Coulson. You should know him."
"Yes, I know him."
"And Kate was directly assigned by the Metropolitan Bureau of the FBI to join the task force because she was on vacation in New York," Clark continued, "and Coulson asked Kate not to contact me."
Tony raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"
"...The reason given is that Clark Kent is Superman's sponsor, and he wants to assist Superman and S.H.I.E.L.D. to investigate a major case," Clark said, looking at Tony's thoughtful expression, "And with this Meanwhile, Natasha Romanoff is on her way here, almost there."
Tony stood up immediately when he heard the words, and he walked towards the sofa, followed by Barry, followed by Clark, and the three of them sat on the sofa in the living room solemnly, continuing to talk.
Barry came to his senses and said, "Is it because of the Hydra-related conspiracy you mentioned about Luther?"
"Maybe," Clark guessed: "Oh, yes, Bruce's flight has already landed at New York's Kennedy Airport, Zai Zai was picked up by Alfred, the dog accompanied Al Fu and the little princess, their safety Don't worry."
"To be honest, Fury's hand is too long." Tony said: "He and his men not only have a clear understanding of the identity of the superhero, but also always want to have a say in many things. Such a good thing."
"That Romanov agent knows our identities?" Barry asked.
Tony nodded.
……
As soon as Natasha stepped on the door stack of Tony's villa, the glass door opened automatically. She walked in, and Friday's voice rang from the entrance of the villa: "Good afternoon, Ms. Romanov, sir, Mr. Kent Mr. Allen is waiting for you in the living room."
The red-haired agent in a woolen coat walked slowly into the villa, turned around the wall of the entrance, and she saw three men sitting in a row on the couch. Natasha raised one hand and released it with a flick of the fingers. The button of the woolen coat, she pinched the corner of the scarf with her hand, untied the scarf wrapped around her neck, and threw the scarf on the single sofa with a light flick.
Then, Natasha hooked her hands lightly on the collar of the woolen coat. Natasha pushed back the woolen coat and took off the woolen coat gracefully and casually. Under the woolen coat was a black Short dress - this skirt perfectly outlines Natasha's perfect S-shaped figure.
The lady walked to the side of the single sofa and put the clothes on the single sofa. Her left foot moved forward slightly, and the heel of the stiletto high heel was on the toe of the right shoe, without the woolen coat and scarf cover.
Natasha put her hands on the back of the sofa and stood in front of the three of them. This posture, this aura, her glamor from the bottom of her bones, her nonchalant elegance, and a hint of seductiveness ——
It's gorgeous.
Her eyes swept across Tony and Clark in turn, and finally she paused on Barry, raised her eyebrows, and said in a manly voice, "Gentlemen, are you waiting for me?"
Tony and Clark nodded. The two of them had seen a lot of the world and didn't react much to Natasha's gesture, but Barry was different. Where had the cutie Barry seen such a lady? He gasped in a "hiss" , blushing and lowered his head.
"Beautiful lady," Barry raised his head, hesitatingly praised: "You...you are the most beautiful lady I have ever seen besides my childhood sweetheart and Wonder Woman."
"Thank you, Mr. Allen," Natasha said softly: Natasha sat down by the sofa, restrained her seductive smile, but said in her mouth: "This is the normal reaction of a man seeing me, Tsk, all of them seem to be blind."
"I've seen your profile, and I've even seen the video of you breaking someone's neck with your legs. I didn't see you until after that. Okay, ma'am, how can I react to you?" Natasha was taken aback, Laughing, Tony said angrily: "Then you come to find us two... ah... no, there is another one on the way, why are you coming to us three blind people?"
"Of course it is for the bombing of the Aphrodite Hotel," Natasha said, sitting relaxed and elegantly with her right leg on her left leg, "I need to communicate with some gentlemen, Mr. Kent , I came all the way from Washington, can I have a cup of coffee?"
"Okay," Clark said.
Clark is always tolerant towards ladies, and he can also see that the lady in front of him is just a bit of a funny joke. Her heart is probably tightly wrapped by thorns, and she can't reveal her love for her at all. She teases, teases, seduces—sometimes for work, sometimes just for fun.
Clark walked into the kitchen and made a cup of coffee for Natasha with an automatic coffee machine. Clark walked up to Natasha with the coffee cup and handed the mug to Natasha. Natasha took it and said: "You're always so sweet, Mr. Kent."
"Just call me Clark," Clark said.
Natasha said: "Call me Natasha," Clark saw the deep tiredness in Natasha's eyes, the mature lady met Clark's blue eyes, blinked, and said: "It would be better to call me Nata gone."
"Natasha," the female agent watched as Clark lightly touched the edge of the watch on his left wrist. Clark was not sitting next to Tony and Barry. Clark was sitting on the sofa opposite Natasha. After he restrained his smile, His expression looked very serious, and he asked, "Director Fury sent you here, did he want you to tell us something?"
"Hey, don't you wait for the bat to come?" Barry asked in surprise.
"Mr. Wayne is here." Natasha glanced at the only cutie in the group and said, "I do have information to share with you, and this information is very important."
Clark sat on the single sofa, his face without glasses showed seriousness and calmness, Natasha restrained the frivolous expression on her face, and she said solemnly: "Director Fury has always been able to get close to the core secrets in the secret game. Agents carry out investigations, regardless of rank or authority, but an incident that happened three days ago made us realize that our opponents are not only the spies who hide in the Bureau and are loyal to the Hydra organization, but also... ..."
Natasha frowned her pretty eyebrows, and said: "There are also those who have been brainwashed by Hydra with unknown means, and there are codes in their brains that can be activated by specific words," Natasha paused, and said: "Our people .”
"What?" Clark was taken aback.
"The matter started a week ago," Natasha said: "This operation was originally deployed by Nick in Nepal to target Hydra's traitors. He secretly activated a SHIELD base in Nepal during World War II. There was enough bait left in that base to make Hydra's heart beat. This base in Nepal is excluded from the Internet, and if you want to get the bait laid by Nick, you have to go there in person."
"Of course," Natasha shrugged, and said, "This information has a program that it will be destroyed if the iris is not verified correctly. There is still Captain America hiding in the secret room in the base?"
"Who?" Clark exclaimed, with joy in his words: "You found the captain? Rao, hahaha."
Tony glanced at the chairman of the Justice League with undisguised disgust. Natasha blinked at Clark and said, "You boys, you all like the captain."
"I don't like it!" Tony snapped back.
Barry, with bright eyes, said loudly, "I like it!"
Natasha glanced at the three of them, and continued: "The people sent to the base are the ones Nick investigates and investigates, and selects." Natasha said: "Fury has full confidence in the loyalty of these people. , but until the intelligence feedback was activated, the person captured by the captain was the agent who passed the trust test after repeated investigations by Fury."
"I have two questions," Tony thought very quickly, and Natasha waved her hand - Excuse me, Tony said: "First, how can Fury be sure that the iris verification will definitely fail?"
Natasha thought for a second before deciding to give the answer. She asked back, "Tony, how many eyes do you think Nick has?"
"One, ha!" Tony said halfway, understanding what Natasha meant.
"Nick was blind in that eye before the advent of iris scanning technology, let alone entered the system."
"Second question," Tony asked, "how did you determine that the agent wasn't affiliated with Hydra, but was brainwashed by Hydra?"
Barry nodded: "That's right, maybe he misled you on purpose?"
Natasha glanced at Clark, who was pursing her lips, put her hands on her cheeks, and asked with a smile, "Does Clark know?"
"I don't know," Clark replied dryly, facing Tony and Barry's gaze, "but I guess, B gave you the brain wave feedback scanning technology."
"Where did you give it to us?" Natasha said in a cool tone, "What Batman took away from us is much more valuable than this technology."
"What?" Clark asked.
Natasha glanced at Clark, her eyes showed a little envy without her knowing it, she stared at the Kryptonian, and spoke clearly: "Achilles' heel." Clark's hand hanging on his knee He trembled, and his eyes fluctuated a little.
Achilles in Homer's epic is the son of the mortal hero Peleus and the sea goddess Thetis. The mother Thetis immersed the young Achilles upside down in order to make her son immortal. River, making it immortal.Thetis pinched Achilles' heel and dared not let go. The exposed heel was Achilles' only weakness.
In the end, during the Trojan War, Achilles was shot in the ankle by a poisoned arrow and eventually died.
So, the Achilles' heel refers to an Achilles' heel or weakness.
Fury found out about Batman's purchase of green ores from various places, and Bruce Wayne can spend a lot of money, manpower and material resources to collect all these green ores. There is only one possibility——
This green ore is Superman's Achilles' heel.
And Batman doesn't want Superman's Achilles' heel to be seen by other people and used by others. Even if someone always sees this, he will try his best to receive Superman's weakness and weakness. hands.
And he spent so much effort and stealing, but he didn't reveal anything to Superman.
Natasha's heart seemed to be scratched by a feather. Look, the mortal heart of the god of the world, such a pure person, what kind of heart should Nick worry about.
Natasha chuckled. She looked at the corners of Clark's lips that raised unconsciously. She said, "But this is not the important information I want to share with you today."
