Luke didn't get out of bed until the female painter had exhausted all her energy and fell asleep exhausted in his arms.
After covering her with the quilt, he sat alone on the sofa in front of the window, took out the two sketches from the special painting box, and looked at them carefully.
Although he had watched it several times today, he was still very serious when he watched it again.
The first painting is a huge office scene. Many staff members are still at their positions, but there are dozens of people holding guns and confronting each other.
The most obvious one among them was a staff member who did not have a gun, but was pointed at by several people with guns.
The second painting is a huge aerospace mothership.
It was flying in the sky, its hull bursting all over, obviously under heavy attack.
But all the gun ports on its hull were firing wildly, and countless missiles were fired.
Apparently, while it was under fierce attack, it was also desperately fighting back against the enemy.
After a long silence, he put the two paintings into the storage space and cast his eyes toward the rainy night outside the window.
At the same time, the second-level clone finished the data retrieval and sent a message to Tony with the coordinates of a small pier.
On the top floor of Stark Tower, the young master was sleeping soundly with Pepper in his arms when he was suddenly poked in the butt by something.
He woke up instantly.
I have to say, the Qi-refining technique that someone taught me is very metaphysical, but the effect is quite good after you get started.
He only needs six hours of sleep recently to stay energetic and have sharp eyes and ears.
The insomnia that had originally shown some signs has long since disappeared.
However, it is still rare to get stabbed in the butt in the middle of the night.
Turning his head, he was stunned for a moment and lowered his voice: "Xiao Dai?"
A silly and cute robotic arm robot made a slight humming sound there, then raised its hand and pointed to the other side.
Tony looked over and saw a virtual light screen flashing at the door, on which was the message Luke had sent him.
He understood immediately, quietly got up and walked out of the bedroom.
A moment later, a transparent figure ran wildly in the sewer, not forgetting to complain: "Bruce, this guy, must not have a girlfriend to sleep with him, otherwise he wouldn't be so unethical. He asked me to go into the sewer in the middle of the night, is it necessary to be so mysterious?"
Having said that, he honestly took the "top-secret route" eastward across Manhattan and arrived at a small pier.
He gave an arrival signal, and the submarine yacht came quickly.
Tony didn't remove his invisibility and stepped straight into the open hatch.
The hatch closed and the yacht turned and headed towards the sea.
Inside the cabin, Tony curled his lips at the handsome face of the second-generation master, but felt satisfied when he saw the other's home clothes.
The young master came here wearing only a T-shirt and pajamas, and he didn't want to be with a pretentious guy in a well-tailored suit.
The yacht is not Tony's territory, and there is no place for him to store his armor.
He simply removed his invisibility, opened his mask, and walked over to sit next to Luke. "What's the matter? Why do you have to call me in the middle of the night?"
Luke poured him some wine: "Wait for you to take a sip first, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be interested in drinking."
Tony's face became serious, he just took a sip and put down the cup: "Go ahead."
Luke: "Is SHIELD's helicarrier still under construction?"
Tony nodded: "Yes. But since you said there is Hydra in SHIELD, Nick Fury's mind is not on this."
Luke: "How is the construction progress? How long will it take to be launched?"
Tony thought about it and shook his head: "I just helped them modify part of the power system at the beginning. I messed around with it a few times afterwards. I really don't know the progress."
Luke stared at the young master quietly without saying a word.
After a few seconds, Tony couldn't stand this "ruthless contempt" anymore and raised his hand to surrender: "OK, they kept everything secret from me and asked me to come up with a lot of new technologies to transform the aerospace carrier. I won't indulge them."
Luke then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction. This was in line with the young master's temperament.
Tony, who is arrogant and proud, is a top rich man and a top scientist.
The young master would never accept the idea of using him while excluding him.
Like when Luke asked Tony to calculate the team points of the Bat-Team, he refused the first time.
Because the New York battle was Tony's own business, he shouldn't take Batman's reward.
The second time, Tony helped Batman with private work in Grand Rapids. This time, he got points again, so he accepted it calmly and felt satisfied.
This is to face up to his contributions.
Moreover, the young master can use the Bat Squad points, and all the information about the Bat Squad that he should know is not hidden from him.
Besides, Luke had given the young master so many benefits, but he didn't ask him for many things, so he couldn't be too picky.
Tony is very generous to his friends.
With that in mind, he spoke up and gave some solid information: "But according to my estimation, the aerospace carrier should be completed, and the test flight can be carried out at any time. By the way, its technology is at least two generations higher than the one used in the Battle of New York. The Battle of New York officials got a lot of things from the Chitauri - for example, the power system uses the core of the Chitauri's big bug battleship."
Luke's eyes narrowed slightly: "How powerful is it?"
Tony: "Once lifted off, this third-generation mothership can go directly into low-Earth orbit. Unless there are special circumstances, in theory it doesn't need to land again."
Luke was speechless: Isn’t this just a combination of an aircraft carrier and a super battleship!
After a moment of silence, he said, "Then the problem this time may be bigger than I thought."
Tony: “Huh?”
He understood immediately, his face looked a little ugly: "Will there be any problem with this thing?"
Luke nodded. "Hydra might be planning to destroy it or rob it. What do you think will happen once it falls into Hydra's hands?"
Tony's face was extremely ugly: "This is an air fortress. Even if it is used once, the weapons on it can cover most of the United States. Even if it is shot down at that time..."
If this behemoth falls from a high altitude, the countless weapons and energy on it will turn it into a "Schrödinger's weapon of mass destruction."
If it doesn't explode, it's fine. But if it explodes, an entire city will be buried with it.
And the location where it was launched must be in the DC area. Who the hell dares to let it fall directly
Luke naturally didn't need to explain the seriousness of the matter. The young master understood integrity better than he did.
He just said: "This is the information I got from certain channels, and it is very accurate. Maybe Nick Fury's actions triggered Hydra's vigilance. They may not be able to wait, and the attack is imminent."
Tony was silent, his mind racing.
He knew that the Joker had been cleaning up Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D. recently.
And Batman said that the Joker is a "passerby".
A "passerby" who was beaten by the Dark Knight and vomited blood? This is very interesting.
After a moment of silence, he finally said, "What do you want me to do?"
Luke: "I'm telling you in advance, so that you won't be able to catch up with the fun and blame others."
Don't think I don't know what you mean! Tony hummed in his heart: "... That aerospace carrier is at the headquarters of SHIELD in DC."
Luke: "I know, and it's right in the lake at the headquarters right at the exit."
Tony was silent again.
