May's family, who had returned to the parking lot to pick up their car, also saw that the main exhibition hall had collapsed.
If they hadn't been sent out earlier, they would have been terrified even if they were fine in the end. More importantly, little Peter was too young, and it wouldn't be good if he was traumatized.
Of course, Luke felt that a certain kid who liked to wear an Iron Man mask and gloves now definitely wouldn't be that weak when he said that he wanted to fight bad guys.
This guy might be small in everything, but he had always been bold.
On the way back to the parking lot, Luke heard the little guy say that Iron Man flying in the sky was so cool, and that he wanted to fly too.
Luke could only smile and wave goodbye to the family as they drove away.
After all, he wasn't sure if swinging on a building counted as flying.
…
On the other side, Tony flew back to Stark Plaza. He took off his armor and walked into the house, only to see Pepper dealing with a lot of follow-up work with Jarvis.
They were counting the injured people and comforting them.
The main exhibition hall had to be repaired. They couldn't let it continue to break down like this, which would cause a lasting negative impact.
They had to contact the police and help them through the legal process.
Stark's legal department was fully mobilized. They had to pin all the blame on that idiot Justin.
Stark Industries wouldn't take the blame for this.
The only unfortunate thing was that the venue was Stark Industries', and Tony had fought with the Iron Man soldiers in the sky, which had caused some damage nearby.
The good news was that no one seemed to be dead or seriously injured, which meant that public opinion was under control.
This was also thanks to Tony and Luke.
One of them lured the monsters, and the other plotted from the side. They weren't forced to fly to the residential area to fight, but instead killed the Iron Man air force on the viaduct not far from the venue.
Now, the pile of iron lumps was in Luke's Space One.
Without life force or the protection of the Destroyer's magic runes, it was impossible for them to escape Luke's storage space — provided that they were within five meters of him.
That was also why Luke had given Tony the route to lure the monsters to the viaduct.
The opening happened to be about ten meters wide. When the Iron Man soldiers arrived, they would subconsciously follow Tony and charge through the opening.
Luke hid himself in the middle of the opening, five meters to the left and right, and collected the Iron Man soldiers one by one.
It didn't matter if Tony suspected anything. This guy knew a lot of secrets, but he almost never told anyone.
He wouldn't tell anyone else the secret information about his "lifelong enemy" — especially when Batman wasn't hostile toward him.
Moreover, the ability of the storage space was not a superpower, and it could not be detected by any instrument.
Tony's suspicions were only suspicions. He couldn't find any clues to investigate.
After all, he didn't even know who Batman was, let alone anything else.
As he thought about this, he walked to the sofa and sat down, staring blankly in front of him.
Pepper was pacing back and forth, finishing up the preliminary business of the evening, when she realized that he was spacing out.
She walked over and patted his shoulder. "What's wrong? Are you hurt? Did Jarvis examine you? "
Jarvis said, "Ms. Pepper, he's in good health. He didn't suffer any unexpected injuries."
Tony also woke up from his thoughts and looked at her with a smile. "Have you dealt with the follow-up?"
Pepper nodded. "Probably. But there are a lot of documents that you need to sign. Jarvis will report to you later. "
Tony just nodded and didn't say anything.
Seeing him like this, Pepper felt a little sorry for him. "Don't think too much about it. Go take a shower and go to sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm going back first."
Tony nodded. "Be careful on the way."
Watching Pepper get up, he suddenly remembered something. "Where's Natasha? Why isn't she with you?"
Logically speaking, Natasha was now Pepper's full-time secretary and bodyguard, and should have helped Pepper with her work just now.
Pepper slapped her forehead. "Happy called earlier and said that she went to Hammer Industries to look for Ivan. I was so busy that I forgot. I'll call her and ask her. You can rest. "
As she spoke, she took out her phone and dialed Natasha's number as she walked into the elevator.
When she went downstairs to the garage, she saw Natasha standing next to the car with a cold expression on her face. She was still in her professional suit, and everything looked the same as usual.
Pepper walked over with concern in her eyes. "How is it? Is everything okay on your side?"
Pepper was the nominal CEO's assistant, but she had actually been a CEO for a long time, and she was very good at reading people's expressions.
Natasha's expression was the same as usual, but there was something wrong with her.
She couldn't tell why, but it was most likely that something had happened while she was trying to catch Ivan.
Natasha shook her head. "No."
Ivan had been taken away by Batman. What else could have gone wrong?
As for the fact that she had tried to test the waters, only to be pinned down and beaten up by Batman's companion, the black cat girl, she didn't say a word about it.
It wasn't like Pepper was her mother, so what?
With great willpower, Natasha sat in the backseat and endured the burning pain where she touched the seat cushion. She wasn't angry.
There was no sense of humiliation.
An agent from the Red House wouldn't feel ashamed just because she had been beaten a few times.
In fact, she felt that the black cat girl had actually been very lenient toward her. Otherwise, why wouldn't this "Bone Crusher" have just broken a few of her bones?
Compared with bones, the fleshy part of the stomach was a good place that could cause pain for a long time without causing any real damage.
Pepper asked Happy to drive before she asked, "What did you get over there? This time, Hammer Industries must bear all the responsibility. "
Natasha took out a USB drive and handed it over. "Some of the information they copied from their mainframe."
Pepper caught it and found it odd. "Some?"
Natasha said, "That's all I got, and I took it from someone else."
Pepper was stunned. "Could it be your 'colleagues'?" She couldn't help but think of Phil.
Natasha glanced at her. "The black cat girl."
Pepper was at a loss for a moment, before she suddenly screamed, "The black cat girl?"
Happy, who was driving, was so frightened that his hands shook, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom couldn't help but shake. He immediately apologized. "Sorry, you can continue."
Pepper didn't mind. Happy was Tony's most trusted confidant, and it wasn't a problem for him to listen to these ordinary secrets.
She just asked excitedly, "Is it the black cat girl who's Batman's partner?"
Natasha had a strange expression on her face. "I remember that people all over the world know that Batman's best partner … is Iron Man."
Pepper's surprise and excitement were dealt a blow, and she was a little embarrassed. "After all, she's the first well-known female superhero."
Natasha's lips curled. That's true. I'm just a special agent.
