Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Mrs. Davis
[Harley was just a kid, he didn't know much, so he replied: "Everyone says so!"]
[Then he asked: "Do you know what this pit reminds me of?"]
[Tony shook his head: "I don't know, I don't... I don't care!"]
[Even though Tony said that, Harley still said to himself: "That huge wormhole! In New York! Do you feel the same way?"]
[Tony immediately reacted and exposed his thoughts: "You are trying to trick me. I don't want to talk!"]
["Will they come back? Those aliens?" But Harley still kept asking.]
[Tony didn't want to talk about this topic at all, so he raised his voice considerably: "Maybe! Can you shut up? Remember I told you I have anxiety disorder?"]
[Tony's temper scared Harley a little. He only remembered this after hearing Tony talk about anxiety disorder.]
["Does this topic make you... anxious?"]
["Yeah! A little bit! Can you let me take a breath?" Tony took a deep breath.]
[But Harley continued to chatter: "Are there bad people in Rose Hill? Do you need to breathe through a plastic bag? Do you have medicine?"]
[Tony replied helplessly: "NO!"]
["Do you need to take medicine?"]
["Maybe?"]
["Do you have post-traumatic stress disorder?"]
[Tony closed his eyes silently and kept answering Harry's endless questions: "Probably not!"]
["Are you... losing your mind? I can shut up! Do you want me to shut up? Do you want me to shut up?"]
[Tony's breathing began to quicken. He listened to Harley's endless chatter and finally couldn't help it.]
["Remember when I told you to shut up? Oh my God! You're driving me crazy!" Then he felt his anxiety attack coming on, so he stood up and ran back.]
["Ah! You succeeded! Didn't you? Are you happy now?"]
[Harley was still confused and didn't understand the situation. He shouted: "What did I say?"]
[Then he gets up and chases after Tony, "Hey! Wait for me! Wait!"]
[Tony ran to the road sign, sat down against the wall, and covered his face with snow when he saw it on the ground.]
[Harley caught up and asked, "What's wrong with you?"]
[Tony covered his face, then rolled the snow into a ball and threw it at Harley.]
["It's all your fault! You're driving me crazy!"]
[After a while, Tony felt much better, so he looked at Harley and asked, "Okay! Back to the topic, where were we? Does the deceased have any relatives or mother? Mrs. Davis, where is she?"]
[Harley touched his nose: "Same old place!"]
[Tony waved his hand and said, "Now you can help!"]
"Hahahaha! This kid's chatterbox is no worse than Peter!" Uncle Ben exclaimed, clearly amused by Harry's relentless questioning.
He could probably imagine how much Tony was suffering from the anxiety attack. The Battle of New York had left deeper scars than anyone realized.
Tony pulled a long face and said, "I don't like this kid a little bit now!"
"Hey! You just said he's a talented person!" Rhodes standing by complained about the speed at which his friend's opinion had changed.
Tony rolled his eyes. "Just now was just now! Now is now!"
"Hahaha!" His words made everyone present laugh. Tony changed his attitude towards people as quickly as he used to change romantic partners before settling down with Pepper.
Dr. Banner studied the footage more closely. "The PTSD is interesting. I've never seen Tony this vulnerable in public before."
"PTSD from the wormhole," Natasha observed quietly. "It makes sense. He literally flew into space with a nuclear weapon and nearly didn't make it back."
[Outside the Walker Bar, Tony was wearing a baseball cap and was about to go in, but he bumped into a woman outside.]
["Sorry! Ma'am! This is…" Tony apologized first, then bent down and picked up the things the woman dropped.]
[The woman turned around and picked up her things, "Thank you!"]
[Tony looked at the woman with scars on her face and praised her: "Nice hairstyle! It suits you very well!"]
[She smiled and glanced at Tony's wrist: "Nice watch!"]
["Yeah! Limited edition!" Tony waved his hand.]
["Oh! Of course! Have fun tonight!" She said, took another closer look and left.]
[Tony paid no attention to her, adjusted his hat and walked into the bar.]
"Did you see her face?" Sam Wilson asked, leaning forward. "Those scars looked like burn marks."
"Extremis," Tony and Bruce said simultaneously, exchanging a knowing look.
[At this time, the room was bustling with people, and there were policemen drinking and chatting here. Tony quietly searched for Mrs. Davis in the crowd.]
[Soon he found her in a corner of the bar. Tony had already learned about Mrs. Davis's appearance from Harry, so he could roughly recognize her.]
[He slowly walked over to the other party, put the wine glass on the table and said, "Mrs. Davis, do you mind if I sit down?"]
[Mrs. Davis put her hand on her neck, looked at him and said, "A free country!"]
["Indeed!" Tony said calmly and pulled out a chair and sat down.]
[After Tony sat down, Mrs. Davis asked him, "Okay! Where do you want to start?"]
["I just want to say I'm sorry for your loss! I want to know what you think happened?"]
[After hearing what Tony said, she didn't say anything, but just handed him the information beside her.]
["I brought you the information, take it and go! No matter what's inside, he doesn't want to have anything to do with it!"]
"She thinks he's someone else," Clint observed, his eyes narrowing. "Someone who called her to set up this meeting."
"Which means Tony walked into something bigger than he realized," Steve added grimly.
[Tony glanced at the title on the document, which read: Confidential Document, Chad Davis!]
[He took the file and flipped it open. "Obviously you're waiting for someone else! Right? To meet here?"]
["Yeah!"]
[After getting a positive answer, Tony continued to check the information, and then found a familiar name, Taggart, who was the guy who exploded in the theater.]
[Tony closed the information and looked at Mrs. Davis and said solemnly: "Mrs. Davis! Your son did not commit suicide! I assure you! He did not kill anyone! Someone took advantage of him!"]
[Davis's eyes twitched slightly, and she looked at Tony in disbelief: "What did you say?"]
["Someone turned him into a weapon!"]
[Mrs. Davis looked at him with a little trembling and said, "You are not the one who called me! Right?"]
"The woman outside," Natasha said suddenly. "The one with the scars who noticed his watch. She recognized him."
"Which means Extremis agents are already closing in," Fury concluded, his expression grim.
A heavy silence fell over the multiverse viewers as they realized Tony Stark, with no functioning armor and only a child as backup, was walking straight into a trap in Rose Hill, Tennessee.
