Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 41: Gender-swapped Tony Stark is awesome
Mason said he wanted to divert the blame to someone else, which sounded like an exciting plan.
No one knew what he had said to Black Strange, but the pure love god was finally convinced. Not only did he not pursue Mason's sin of having affairs with men and women, but he also lowered his status and took the initiative to participate in the research of the Speed Force Cannon project.
This project is definitely not as simple as firing a shot at an existing parallel world system to open a time wormhole. According to Tony Stark No. 7's suggestion, Mason must make good use of this opportunity of the speed force explosion and extend the traces of the speed force to as many parallel planes as possible.
This requires Mason to plan the penetration paths of various parallel world systems in advance. There is only one chance, and if you miss it, there will be no chance to make up for it.
Among the current K Corps, the three big bosses of the Ultimate K Team have the most in-depth research on the parallel world system. They all have their own ability to travel through parallel dimensions, so they are the best people to plan the order of arrangement of the speed force markers.
This is a very important job.
Because the parallel world system is not arranged in order like dominoes, the entire system is built in a chaotic system , and it does not conform to the experience of conventional spatial science at all.
Even though Mason already has many speedsters, he still has to plan the most perfect path before the Speed Force Cannon fires.
As for the production of the Speed Force Cannon itself, it did not encounter any bottlenecks. After all, it was a Lv10 engineering expert who personally took part in the production. It is no exaggeration to say that even if a Strike Gundam was dismantled and thrown in front of him, it would only take a few hours to manually assemble it and complete the design upgrade to achieve a leap in functionality.
What does it mean to be a top modeler?
While Mason was busy, the other team members were not idle either. Team K 1.0 and 2.0 were very busy, and the captain finally completed another evil achievement that was enough to make him famous.
The "child laborers" of the Junior K Team were given a variety of duties. Of course, Mason still had a conscience and did not let these little cuties drill into the earth's core or reverse the magnetic field. After Damian and Xiao Qiao returned to the team, these little guys ran around between various worlds, responsible for running errands, conveying orders and supervision.
This job was hard, so Damian set up shifts, and when there were fifteen days left before the fourth impact, it was Morgan Stark's turn to take a day off.
Although Miss Ironheart is a little sinister and has been trying to seize the command of Team K from Damian, she is not a bad girl. After getting the precious opportunity to rest, she did not waste time buying clothes or going shopping. Instead, she ran to the secret laboratory in the Appalachian Mountains in the Osborne Tower Wasteland according to her previous habit.
This is where she and Tony Seven met.
The nominal "father" will teach her how to better operate the Mark series armor and impart to her various unique knowledge belonging to Iron Man.
The two did not meet very often, only once a week.
On the one hand, it was because Tony No. 7 had a formal job in Fox Nest and was under surveillance and could not leave at will. On the other hand, it was also because the relationship between the father and daughter was not as good as Tony No. 7 boasted outside.
When little Morgan was picked up by Mason, she had been sleeping in the hibernation chamber for thirteen years. Although her body still maintained the posture of a young girl, her actual age was much older than Mason.
She is a full adult with her own personality and cognition. In this case, it is not easy for Tony No. 7, a guy who has never been a father to other children, to break into her life and get her recognition.
Although Tony No. 7 has the same face and many similar habits as Morgan's father, there are always subtle differences between the time-space variants.
Tony No. 7 is a prodigal son, and Morgan's father is a hero who willingly sacrificed himself to save the world.
The similarities between the two are not high.
So even though Morgan doesn't discuss this topic much with her teammates, in her heart, her relationship with Tony No. 7 is actually more like friends of different generations rather than closer family members.
They both want to accept each other, but this kind of thing really can't be forced.
If it were really that simple, all the outrageous and heart-wrenching stories between stepmothers, stepfathers and their children would not have become common family problems throughout the universe.
"You're late. Are you in a hurry to date some chick and forget the time?"
Miss Morgan was a little tired today. She waited in the laboratory for more than ten minutes before she felt the waves of quantum teleportation.
She put the notebook in her hand aside and took off the smart glasses given to her by Tony No. 7. She turned around and was about to make a joke to improve the relationship between the two parties, but she froze when she saw the person coming behind her.
It’s not Tony No. 7 who’s coming!
It wasn't even a man!
Although the latter was also wearing a set of red and yellow iron armor that all Starks liked, it could be seen from the feminine shape of the armor that it was a woman.
"Who are you! How do you know this place?"
Miss Tiexin reacted very quickly. She immediately pressed the device on her wrist to cover her body with the nano armor so that she was ready for battle. At the same time, she sent a distress signal to her friends who were still resting in Osborne Tower.
But the latter raised his gauntlet and sent out a command, causing the nano armor that had covered half of Little Morgan to quickly "ebb" and retract into the storage device on his wrist.
"Click"
The visor popped open, revealing a very beautiful and charming face.
She shook her waist-length black hair and walked out from the recycling of Mark Armor. She was wearing a very simple women's suit and high heels. The lack of any unnecessary decoration made the woman look heroic and capable.
Her facial features that were extremely similar to Tony No. 7's and her eyes full of wisdom and intellect had already announced her identity.
"Hello, little Morgan."
Tony, the uninvited woman, looked up and down at the cute little girl in front of her. She smiled motherly and introduced herself:
"I'm Tony Six, but my name isn't actually Tony. You can call me Natasha, Natasha Stark, the most beautiful of your disgraced stepfather's altered temporal bodies."
"Ah, so you're the stupid woman who married Steve Rogers that Tony Seven keeps ranting about?"
Little Morgan exclaimed:
"How do you stay in shape? Tony Seven said you've had three kids!"
"Well, little guy, your focus is really strange, but it does make me happy when someone compliments my figure. As for the trick.
Keep your mouth shut, move your legs, and add a little bit of Stark Bioindustry's 'little secret'."
Natasha Stark gave a mysterious smile. She looked around at the structure of the secret laboratory, tapped a few times on the keyboard next to her and obtained all permissions. After checking the communication situation, she waved to little Morgan, motioning her to come closer.
"Is there something wrong with number seven?"
When Morgan saw the female Iron Man appear in front of him instead of Tony No. 7, he realized that something was wrong.
She knew that the "new dad" Mason had found for her was a terrible guy in every sense of the word, but the latter never ate up or made excuses for not meeting Morgan.
This is also the reason why little Morgan is willing to slowly accept him. The feeling of being valued and protected has always been an important factor in harmonious family relationships.
In response to her questioning, Natasha Stark sighed and told little Morgan the bad news that Tony No. 7 was detained.
She said:
"I came here today not only to convey Number Seven's apology to you, but also to meet with your captain Mason Cooper. I have to hand over some important things to him personally..."
"boom"
Just as he finished speaking, a loud bang exploded above the secret laboratory, and two figures jumped in amidst the splatter of bricks and stones.
Little Joe, wearing a Superman uniform, has eyes filled with heat rays, and his fists are clenched, ready to save his friends at any time, while Jimmy Houtley rushes over with a roar, and his adamantium claws have already popped out, ready for a fierce battle.
Their forced intrusion immediately activated the defense program in the secret laboratory. Three Mark armors rushed out from all directions and fought with the two little warriors, but were disassembled after a few seconds.
"Your team members are quite powerful."
Natasha Stark, who was protecting Morgan behind her like she was watching a show, put on a very strange single-lens technological glasses. While observing the powerful Xiao Qiao and Xiao Lang in front of her, she was in the mood to say to Morgan:
"The combat power of that little Superman has exceeded 20,000, and the young Wolverine is a little bit behind, but it is also around 12,000. This kind of strength sample can be ranked at the upper level even in the Conqueror Sequence.
No wonder Mason Cooper can do so much, and no wonder Seven has been lobbying us to fully cooperate with Team K.”
"Stop hitting me!"
Little Morgan is not as calm as her "Mom Natasha". She knows that the defense level of this secret laboratory will automatically adjust according to the strength of the enemy. If the fight continues like this, the anti-Hulk weapons hidden in the basement might be awakened.
She waved her hands to calm Xiao Qiao and Jimmy down, and told her friends what had happened while surrounded by the wreckage of the armor that was sparking and arcing.
After realizing that they had made a mistake, the two little soldiers immediately apologized to Aunt Natasha awkwardly.
Natasha Stark, who is already a mother of three children, naturally did not blame these cute little brothers. She even turned on the ice cream machine and prepared ice cream cones for them that only children would like.
"I can't go to Osborne Tower, that would expose my actions. My signal will be blocked and protected in this base, so you have to let Mason come over."
Tony Six explained to them:
"I can't stay too long. The Fox Nest has upgraded its surveillance of researchers to the most stringent level. If you don't want your mature and lovely Aunt Natasha to be detained by the bad guys after you return, then contact your captain immediately."
“That’s not necessary.”
Jimmy Hautley stuffed the egg roll into his mouth, waved his hand and wiped his mouth, and said in a very heroic manner:
"We must have a bug planted by Mason. Perhaps our conversation has been heard by the captain. He must be on his way here."
"Snap"
The fist stretched out from behind hit the little wolf's head. Mason, expressionless, used the oil flowing around the laboratory to complete the water reconstruction. He said:
"Are you proud that I put the surveillance camera there quietly?
You little idiot, your parents will probably be desperate seeing you like this. Your alt account is useless. Fortunately, you still have a sister as a backup.
Xiao Qiao, take your friends outside to get some fresh air. I want to talk to your Aunt Natasha about something."
"oh."
The good boy Xiao Qiao responded, grabbed the grinning Jimmy and the worried Morgan and flew out of the big hole in the wall they had knocked open.
Mason threw out a device to cover the magnetic field, and then took out the inspection axe and flicked it to block all prying and eavesdropping, and then introduced it to the queen Stark who was looking at him:
“Hello, Natasha, although this is our first meeting, believe me, I have heard a lot about you from Tony Seven.
He's always thinking about you, especially after you've canceled so many dates."
"Number Seven has always been so unruly, and is considered a 'problem child' in the Stark Army. He doesn't really care about ethical issues, but I don't want to date myself."
Natasha Stark, sitting on a high chair, stretched out her body and shrugged her shoulders, saying very charmingly:
"After getting along with other time-space aliens, I realized how annoying my eccentricity and strange personality were. Let me ask you, who would be willing to date someone as annoying as me?
I don't even want to.
Besides, I have a husband who I love very much and who loves me, and I don’t want my children to think I’m a bad mother.”
"Well, I think it is time for you to go to Osborne Tower and make friends with my nominal mother so that she can learn from you."
Mason said half seriously and half jokingly:
"You will never be able to imagine my fear. Maybe when I open my eyes tomorrow morning, I will have a handsome stepfather."
"Ha, you're still a cute little guy."
Aunt Natasha laughed. It seemed that Mason had left a good first impression on her. But after the greetings, the conversation between the two became serious.
"There are some things I can't say directly to little Morgan, but Number Seven is in a really bad situation right now."
Tony Six whispered:
"He is imprisoned in an independent cage in the Fox Nest. We once planned to break him out but No. 2 denied it. The risk is too great and even if we mobilize all the armored legions together, it is impossible to escape from the Fox Nest, which is now under martial law.
Those bastards mobilized an entire Conqueror sequence to watch over us, and they will be waiting to get rid of us after the Fourth Impact is over.
Their technological reserves have been completed and they no longer need Fox Nest to provide them with various technological suggestions.
That's the second reason I'm here, Mason.
I'm here for help.
And we represent not only the Stark Corps, but also other researchers currently in the Fox Nest. We are facing the same dilemma and must seek external solutions."
"I'd love to help, but I can't right now."
Mason replied:
"Now all our energy and resources must be used to deal with the impact. You should understand that if we can't get over this hurdle, then no matter how well we discuss now, it will be useless."
"I understand, so I don't ask you to act immediately. The best opportunity is when the Fourth Impact is over. We will also mobilize researchers inside to work with you."
Natasha Stark nodded, removed a disguised data hard drive from her belt and handed it to Mason.
She said:
"This is the task that No. 7 left for us before he was captured. Fortunately, we have fulfilled the task. We have summarized the operation and activation mode of the cosmic tuning fork, as well as the detailed operation guide."
“That’s great!”
Mason took the hard drive and inserted it into the external reading device of his watch. He quickly read through the operating instructions, then he squinted his eyes and let out a long breath.
It was like an important link in my mind had finally been realized, or like one of my guesses had been verified.
Natasha Stark could clearly see that Mason in front of her was like a spring that had released most of its pressure, and the whole person suddenly became relaxed.
The tense feeling that had been hanging over him also dissipated a lot.
This series of micro-expression changes made Tony No. 6 very interested, and she asked:
"Is this important to your plan?"
“This is the core of everything going smoothly!”
Mason replied with a smile:
“Before I got it, I was only 30% sure, but now I can safely and boldly put everything I have on the table.
Wait for good news, Ms. Natasha.
Don't give up and don't despair. After we have resolved the matter here, I will go to the Fox Nest myself and release my friend Tony No. 7.
And you are truly welcome to join our common cause.
I promise!
This time, I can finally make a promise to you with confidence!"
"Tsk, I don't know where your confidence comes from, but your powerful attitude is really cute, little Mason. It's exactly the kind of person an aunt likes."
Aunt Natasha smiled, glanced at the time, waved goodbye to Mason, and said:
“I should go back now, say goodbye to little Morgan for me.
Also, if she doesn’t mind, she can call me mom when we meet next time. I’ve always dreamed of having such a lovely daughter. I’m really jealous of Tony No. 7.
I'd even consider going on a few dates with her stepdad if she'd call me that... seriously."
