Batman's Owl Godfather

"This... doesn't have to be so extreme."

Bruce didn't expect Tony to think of such an angle, but to be honest, it was really feasible.

Killing yourself first, meeting your deceased relatives, and then resurrecting them is like taking a trip.

If there wasn't an easier way, Bruce might actually consider it.

"Just let the soul leave the body."

Bruce said, "It's very simple, it doesn't hurt at all."

When Tony heard this, he thought it must be very painful, otherwise the other party wouldn't need to emphasize it so much.

But it hurts, as long as you can see the people you want to see, it's worth it.

"Then what's the price?" Tony asked, "What do I need to pay for this journey? Just believe in the owl god?"

"Faith is not a transaction, you can believe it if you want to." Bruce shook his head, "Just think of it as a simple effort this time. We don't ask for anything in return."

Tony suddenly felt a little embarrassed, it was not his style to eat for free.

Then find a way to repay.

"Then when can we leave?" Tony asked.

"Any time."

Tony was immediately overjoyed: "Then -"

At this point, he suddenly stopped again.

After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "Then let's do it tomorrow."

In fact, he originally wanted to go directly there today to see his deceased parents, but then he thought about it and he couldn't go empty-handed.

He had to make some preparations, collect his achievements over the years, show them in front of Howard, and let him know that his son was more capable than he thought.

"Then tomorrow."

Bruce nodded, "At eight o'clock tomorrow night, be ready and we will come to you."

With that, he and Katum left.

Tony pressed the button on the armrest of the wheelchair and drove the wheelchair to the window. He watched the two owls fly away with mixed feelings in his eyes.

"Jarvis."

He suddenly said, "Compile my achievements over the years into a book, and then print it out. I will use it tomorrow."

"Yes sir."

Jarvis's voice rang out, and he asked, "Are the achievements you're referring to including sleeping with Playboy's monthly cover girl?"

"What do you think? Of course not!" Tony scolded, "How do you ask me to say this kind of thing in front of my mother? You need to show more of my achievements in business!"

He must show Howard what a huge business empire he has created!

"My current physical injuries shouldn't affect my soul, right?"

Tony looked at the various bandages on his body. His muscles all over his body were now damaged to varying degrees. If his mother saw this, she would definitely feel distressed.

"Mr. Stark, the information has been sorted out."

At this time, Jarvis's voice sounded again. He had already sorted out all the information during the short period of silence.

It’s just that I haven’t printed it into a book yet, so this is the part that takes the most time.

"let me see."

Tony picked up the phone and swung it forward, and a holographic screen appeared in front of him.

The above includes all the world-changing achievements he has made since taking over Stark Industries at the age of 21.

"Smart weapons, advanced robots, satellite targeting systems..."

Tony browsed the information, and as he looked at it, he suddenly lost interest.

“Do these count as achievements?”

He couldn't help but wonder, "What will the old man say when he sees this?"

Tony could guess that Howard would have a sullen face and say in that old-fashioned voice: "Tony, you have indeed done a lot, but where are the achievements you want me to see? I only see you. You are imitating me and following the path I have taken, but what about your own innovation?”

"Tsk——"

Tony smacked his lips. He was so impressed by Howard that he almost couldn't help but want to quarrel with him just thinking about his father's appearance in his mind.

“None of these achievements can be taken away from me.”

Tony came to the conclusion that if he really wanted to show Howard something, it would have to be something that Tony could do but Howard couldn't.

"Iron Man mecha?"

Tony just thought of this, but quickly dismissed himself.

After all, the core technology of the Iron Suit is the Ark Reactor, but it is also Howard's creation.

Tony continued to think for a long time, but he could never find the answer. He grabbed his hair with an extremely frustrated expression.

I have to admit that I have not surpassed Howard in any way.

He still lives in his father's shadow.

"I have to do something."

He struggled to stand up from the wheelchair, but the sudden movement made his muscles ache, and he fell to his knees uncontrollably.

"gentlemen……"

As soon as Jarvis's voice sounded, Tony immediately stretched out his hand to stop it.

"I can stand up on my own."

He pressed the watch on his arm, and a mechanical owl flew from a distance, turned into countless nanoparticles, and covered Tony's body.

The bloody edge suit completed the outfit.

With the help of the suit, Tony's movements were no longer difficult. He stood up easily and moved as usual.

"Steve Rogers." Tony suddenly said the name.

Yes, this is the only achievement that he can think of right now that is significant enough.

Beating Steve Rogers is something Howard can never do.

"The fight must be arranged in advance, just tomorrow!"

Tony thought that he would meet Howard tomorrow night, so he had to complete the battle with Steve during the day.

The problem now was to contact Steve.

Fortunately, this was not a difficult problem.

…

As the night deepened, the night in Manhattan was still prosperous.

Under the neon lights, the Stark Building stood tall, and the streets that had been damaged by Iron Monger had been repaired.

The dark sky was like a curtain. Suddenly, a searchlight shot out from the top of the building and hit the curtain, as if another moon had risen in the sky.

In the center of this moon, there was a shadow, an owl flying high.

Tony, wearing an iron suit, stood on the top of the Stark Building, looking up at the sky, waiting quietly.

Not long after, a voice sounded behind him.

"If I remember correctly, our agreed battle will be ten days away."

Tony looked back and saw Steve still in the black suit, hanging in the air, slowly descending.

He was stepping on his shield.

Steve can't fly, but his shield can.

"This is really beyond my expectation."

Tony said with a twitch of his mouth, "If I remember correctly, your shield should be a gift from a former close friend, right? You just stepped on it?"

"Have you guessed my true identity?"

Tony's explanation of the origin of the shield was equivalent to pointing out his true identity.

Steve felt incredible, because in the public's perspective, Captain America had been dead for seventy years.

Even if he had never deliberately changed his behavior habits, according to normal thinking, he could only guess that he was a fan or imitator of Captain America, right?

How could he guess Captain America right away?

Unless--

This guy has an informant in SHIELD!

"It's not hard to guess." Tony said, "I'm a genius."

For some reason, this emphasis on speaking suddenly gave Steve a very familiar feeling.

Seventy years ago, there was also a person around him who always talked about genius and said that his wisdom was enough to change the whole world.

It's a pity that things have changed and the other person is no longer alive.

"This shield is indeed a gift."

Steve jumped off the shield and landed steadily on the roof. He took off his mask and no longer covered it.

"But it is still a shield after all, and it has its own uses."

Tony complained in his heart that he had never heard of any shield that could be used to fly.

"Okay, let's talk business."

Steve changed the topic from the shield, "Why did you call me here today?"

At the beginning, they agreed to this meeting method just in case, which was originally just for insurance, but they didn't expect it to be really used.

"I have to tell you one thing first." Tony said, "About my true identity, I can continue to talk about it after I finish this."

"It should be so." Steve nodded, "In fact, I probably guessed who you are."

"Then your guess should be correct."

Tony smiled lightly, and then the helmet automatically retracted, revealing his bruised face.

"Yes, I am Tony Stark!"

After the voice fell, the top floor suddenly became dead silent, with only the sound of the night wind blowing.

Then, Tony saw that Steve's face showed an unprecedented shock.

"Tony... Stark?!"

Steve said in a daze, "How could it be you? Shouldn't it be Mandy?"

"Who is that?!" Tony asked in surprise.

"The security guard of Stark Tower." Steve said honestly, "I investigated it seriously for a long time, and then I think he is the most likely one."

"I..."

At this moment, Tony cursed at everyone.

He would rather guess a security guard than Tony Stark. Is Steve secretly looking down on him?

What's more, Tony just said that he is a genius.

Isn't the keyword genius enough for Steve to associate?

"I really didn't expect it to be you."

Steve's expression suddenly became very sad, "Tony, Stark Group is the industry left by your father, why did you sell it?"

"When did I..."

Tony was about to refute, but suddenly remembered that before the last battle with Steve, he did say something similar in order to gain the upper hand verbally.

Steve actually took it seriously.

"Alas."

Finally, Tony could only sigh, "That was just a rant, don't take it seriously."

"I think so too." Steve nodded, "If it wasn't a rant, I would just think you were crazy."

Now that Iron Man's true identity has been revealed, in Steve's opinion, the original fight is also written off.

He wanted to fight before because he thought Iron Man was a traitor in the Stark Group.

But now that the truth is out, Iron Man is Stark, and the original worry no longer exists.

"So you are here to clear up the misunderstanding today?"

Steve said, "You want to tell me that our fight is meaningless?"

"No."

Tony shook his head, "On the contrary, I want to tell you that our fight is better moved forward to tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

Hearing this time, Steve showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

"Does it have to be tomorrow? Why do you want to move it forward?"

"Because I'm going to see my dad," Tony said, "so I want to finish what I need to do first."

"Going to see Howard?" Steve looked weird, "Are you going to die?"

"no!"

Tony almost couldn't catch his breath. Although it was normal for Steve to guess like this, he felt something was wrong when he heard it.

"I'm going to see my dad's soul, in a way you can't understand." Tony said thoughtfully.

As a result, Steve immediately thought of what Tony was going to do: "Is it an out-of-body experience?"

"How do you know?"

"Because I've experienced it."

I used this method when I went to see Paige before.

Tony was silent for a moment, his eyes pausing on the owl pattern on Steve's shield.

"That's right, I should have thought of it earlier."

Tony sighed and said, "You should have known Master Katum a long time ago, after all, your shield has become his shape."

"I have been a member of the Owl School for a long time."

Steve said frankly, "I am Master Katum's second disciple, second only to Bruce..."

"Bruce?"

Hearing this name, Tony asked curiously, "I've never heard of this name? Who is he?"

"It's the little owl next to Katum." Steve said, "Senior Brother Bruce is very humble. He is never proud of being the master's disciple. Not only that, he often argues with the master, presumably also discussing magic. related questions."

I see.

Tony reacted at this time. No wonder the two owls were inseparable. Bruce often talked when he faced him. Sometimes Master Katum didn't speak, but he spoke first.

It turns out that his identity is also unusual.

"Next time we meet, I have to apologize to Bruce. I underestimated him before." Tony couldn't help but think.

Back to business.

Before learning that he was going to see Howard, Tony wanted to humiliate Steve.

But then he changed his mind because he realized something.

If he conceals his identity and fights Steve, even if he wins in the end, he won't be able to show off in front of his parents.

Howard would definitely say this——

"Are you making this kind of suit weapon just to have a fight with others?"

In this way, Tony could no longer say anything to refute.

After all, a creature like father can always find all kinds of truths and teach his children from all aspects.

Tony thought to himself that he would never do this again.

"I'm going to continue to fight you, but not in the same way as before."

Tony pointed a finger, and the helmet covered his face again, and then, a holographic image was emitted from his eye area.

In the image, a three-dimensional architectural pattern is slowly rotating.

"This is a criminal den located in Eastern Europe."

Tony said, "According to the local people's witnesses, they saw many children going in, and then there was no news again. How about you and I competing now to see who can find those children first?"

With this kind of competition, Howard has nothing to say, right?

Although Tony himself felt it was a pity.

The beatings in the ring these days are all in vain.
