Alas, it's all because of this damned curiosity.
When the Autobots and Decepticons were at a truce, Tony Stark discovered someone negotiating with aliens above the Empire State Building.
Driven by curiosity, he hid in a corner behind the crowd and eavesdropped.
Later, seeing everyone leave through a portal, he impulsively followed a small spaceship and flew in.
Now he's really gotten himself into trouble with true monsters.
Tony Stark is a playboy, a free-spirited and unrestrained individual... but he is also a genius inventor at the pinnacle of intellect, a man known for being "cursed by wisdom."
Well, it doesn't take a high IQ; even a fool could understand the current situation.
A mysterious organization dealing with alien civilizations, possessing technology that utterly crushes the other party, forcing them to trade and form an alliance with humanity.
And that Pocket Universe Battery... even in danger, Tony Stark still had an unparalleled interest in that golden crystal.
As a scientist, he was very clear about the greatness and terror of 'Pocket Universe' technology.
Let's see how the other party handles him.
Escape is definitely out of the question; they have spatial teleportation, so what good is the suit's speed?
If the other party wants to silence him, of course, Iron Man is not easily dealt with.
At least, he should be allowed to exit his suit and have a dignified death.
In short, having stumbled upon the dealings of such a secret organization, they wouldn't let him off easily.
Resistance is even more unthinkable.
Jarvis could instantly analyze the material of those robots, but he couldn't detect the material of these people's suits.
A rash attack would only hasten his death.
Tony Stark, still without a reply, spread his hands helplessly, "Alright, I understand."
Whirr-click—!
The suit opened, and he raised his hands, stepping out voluntarily.
"Is this acceptable?"
"Please wait a few seconds."
Lin Luo smiled and waved his hand, then looked at the newcomers, "Let's have a practical lesson. As I just said, how do we erase the memories of passersby? Does anyone have a specific plan?"
"I'll do it."
Natasha stepped forward, answering like an excellent student, "Cybertron has only unilaterally formed an alliance with humanity. Therefore, the human civilization must put forward a representative with status and high public prestige."
"This representative should ideally have participated in this conflict to quickly advance the alliance between human civilization and Cybertron."
"Considering that MIB still needs to maintain its mystery, the optimal choice, besides Superman, is only..."
As she spoke, everyone's gaze once again shifted to Tony Stark.
The meaning was already very clear.
"Hmm, not bad."
Lin Luo smiled and nodded, pulled out his sunglasses, put them on, and made a 'please' gesture.
"Then I'll leave the rest to you."
"No problem."
Natasha smiled confidently, reached into her pocket, and pulled out her sunglasses and memory-wiping device.
The others also quickly put on their sunglasses.
Natasha adjusted the timeline, walked up to Tony Stark, and pointed the red dot of the memory-wiping device.
"Mr. Iron Man, a simple eye exam, please look here."
"Uh... what do you want to do? Let me tell you, humanity's alliance with aliens has nothing to do with me. I don't want to participate, and I won't be your puppet, and also..."
Buzz—!
A blinding flash of light swept by.
Tony Stark's mouth finally stopped, and he stood still, his gaze blank.
Natasha said, word by word:
"Mr. Iron Man, forget everything that just happened before your eyes. You only need to remember that you resolved the chaos caused by Cybertron on Earth."
"Those Cybertronians, influenced by your charismatic personality, decided to form an alliance with human civilization and will unconditionally assist human civilization from now on."
"Upon your return, immediately hold a global press conference and tell the World of your greatness."
"Now, please return to your suit."
Having absorbed these words, Tony Stark, like a computer programmed robot, returned to his suit like a walking corpse.
Whirr-click—!
The suit automatically closed.
"You are already a qualified Man in Black." Lin Luo looked at Natasha and sent Tony Stark on his way with a teleportation gun.
"Thank you."
Natasha's lips curved upward, and she calmly accepted the compliment.
She glanced over, and after confirming Tony Stark had been sent away, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It wasn't for Tony Stark's fortunate escape from the tiger's den, but because she had found a way to transmit information and successfully taken the first step.
Tony Stark's memory had been modified, but Jarvis, the AI inside his suit, surely retained the video data.
Later, when Tony Stark holds his press conference, Nick Fury will focus on him, then infiltrate Jarvis's database to search for useful information.
Thankfully, the boss didn't notice Jarvis's existence... but did he really not notice?
Heh heh.
Next, all newcomers were divided into two-person teams and immediately received new missions. After a brief rest, they discarded their small crickets, picked up suitable weapons, and set off for various parts of the World.
The remaining Autobots became partners for some of the newcomers.
With the advent of Cybertron and monster invasions, the World today seemed to have triggered some kind of switch, with various alien-related incidents occurring one after another.
News was flying everywhere from major newspapers.
