American Comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

Time passes day by day.

What's surprising is that Tony Stark, who used to log into various newspapers every day, has become unusually quiet since his return. He used to be seen in major social places, but now he can't be seen.

There was no way to block them. Even though these social places were still filled with beauties and were still high-end hunting grounds for playboys, Tony Stark seemed to have lost interest.

This made many reporters who relied on Tony Stark feel a little disappointed.

Since they couldn't interview anyone, some reporters from the tabloid newspapers, under strong pressure from their newspaper editors to ask for Stark's press release, simply started to show off their own talents. Today, they interviewed a model who spent time with Tony.

When talking about how to miss Stark, another point of shame was to find a psychiatrist and conduct an in-depth analysis of the psychological trauma that Stark may be experiencing now.

So even though Tony Stark hadn't appeared for a long time, after the first few days of silence, he actually appeared on the pages of many newspapers again.

There is no way, people like to read reports about the fall of geniuses, or the psychological problems of the rich, etc. Especially Tony Stark, like Stark Industries, is at the forefront of the storm recently. In the words of a media person

That is, it is extremely popular, and whatever you write about it will attract attention.

As Tony Stark's assistant, Pepper Potts, when attending a social reception on his behalf, he hid in a corner.

Holding a wine glass in front of the railing of the balcony, looking into the distance unconsciously, Pepper Potts seemed a little worried. As the person who knows Tony Stark best after spending time with her day and night, she actually feels that Tony has become a stranger now.

Many times, when she routinely wanted to arrange a cocktail party for him or even arrange a beautiful model that matched Tony's aesthetic preferences, she was actually opposed by Tony.

God knows how surprised Tony Stark's veto was to Pepper Potts at the time! Just like how Tony had changed these days. She found that the person who used to act recklessly now actually had a lot more worries.

, unexpectedly became reserved, quiet, and even a little calm. This change not only made Pepper Potts happy, but also made her panic.

I am happy that Tony has finally grown up.

Panic over this growth made her understanding of Tony become unfamiliar.

What's even more terrifying is that she saw the bullet marks on Tony Stark's steel suit! The moment she saw that scene, the suppressed panic in her heart almost instantly hit her body.

"Alone here?"

A somewhat strange yet familiar female voice interrupted Pepper Potts' divergent thoughts. The disturbed Pepper Potts frowned and turned to look at the owner of the voice. She saw who the person was.

At this moment, a look of surprise flashed across her face.

"Ms. Sandra?"

"I hope I didn't disturb you." Ina Sandra walked to Pepper Potts with a smile, stood with her at the railing of the balcony, and said with a smile.

"Of course not, I'm afraid there are countless people who want to talk to you at this party." Pepper Potts was a little confused about Ina Sandra's purpose of coming, but this did not prevent her from releasing a certain amount of enthusiasm for the other party's initiative to strike up a conversation.

Good intentions. After all, if we talk about the influential figures in recent years, in addition to her willful boss, the lady in front of her and Luke Field, who founded Hyperion Technology with her, are also among them.

Compared to Justin Hammer, who has always been looked down upon by Tony, Tony has nothing bad to say about Luke Field, the soul of Hyperion Technology. With Pepper Potts' understanding of Tony, he can use his poisonous tongue to

There's nothing bad to say about getting away with your body intact. It's already very rare. Perhaps this is a kind of technical recognition?

"Are you referring to those people?" Ina Sandra laughed mockingly and pointed to the cocktail parties lined with circles below. The outer circles wanted to get close to the inner circles, and the inner circles were trying hard to get closer.

He wanted to squeeze into the inner circle at the risk of his life. And the person who could be called the inner circle at this cocktail party was undoubtedly the man who was talking loudly, the current head of Stark Industries-Obadiah Stan

Ni. Everyone is surrounding him. Those who do not have a certain status and identity, and even the outside of the core circle have no place to stand.

If Ina Sandra goes down, of course she can easily pull up an inner circle that belongs to her, and even easily join Obadiah Stane's circle. In that circle, she will also

is as touted as Obadiah Stane as the centerpiece. But why is it necessary?

Just a person who is about to become obsolete.

"Is Tony Stark okay?" Ina Sandra didn't wait for Pepper's answer, she looked back at Pepper and asked.

"Of course he's fine." Pepper instinctively put on a skilled fake smile on her face, and answered with great fluency. She had heard this question too many times after Tony Stark returned safely.

, those reporters couldn't find Tony, so they often blocked her and asked her when she needed to show her face. Now she had a stress reaction from being asked this question.

"It has nothing to do with me, I'm asking for Luke." Seeing the fake smile on Pepper's face, Ina was keenly aware of her instant alienation and vigilance, and added an explanation without caring.

"Luke? Luke Field?" Pepper then realized that her attitude was too vigilant, and she was a little curious about the people who could survive Tony's poisonous tongue.

"That's him. He paid close attention to Tony Stark. He also investigated for a while when he disappeared, but unfortunately he couldn't help much." Ina Sandra lied without blinking. During that time

Luke immersed himself wholeheartedly in his laboratory, digesting the gains from his retreat and adding to the technical foundation of Hyperion Technology.

The missing Tony Stark?

Sorry, Ina said in her mind, she had never heard Luke say a word of concern or anything else.

"Thank you very much." Pepper thanked him aloud without knowing why.

"You're welcome. Although I couldn't find anything out of the investigation at the time, I still gained something. This is a piece of information. You can take it back to Tony Stark to see. Maybe he can find something from it. Remember

, it can only be shown to Tony, and only you and him can know." Ina Sandra secretly stuffed a USB flash drive into Pepper's free left hand, and the wine glass clinked with the wine glass held in Pepper's right hand.

After a moment, he turned around and left.

Her mission of coming here today has been completed.
