He stood up and looked down at Stark as if he were a dead object.
"Jarvis, start the data extraction. Turn his brain inside out. I need to know every movie he's ever seen, every meal he's ever eaten, every lie he's ever told. Especially everything about Hydra."
"Yes, sir."
An invisible sound wave signal was instantly released from Tony's Armor and enveloped Stark.
Stark's body began to twitch violently, his eyes rolled back, foam came out of his mouth, and he let out screams that were not human.
This signal will emit a specific frequency, receive something in the brain, and then use Jarvis's powerful computing power to calculate the image and finally store it.
Henry held Wanda and silently took two steps back to avoid this scene that was not suitable for children.
He glanced down at the still unconscious girl in his arms, her brow furrowed slightly in pain, and sighed helplessly. He reached out and gently smoothed the space between. Her brows with his fingertips.
"Hey, Tony," he suddenly said, interrupting the shrill screams.
"What?" Tony asked without turning his head. He was concentrating on the data scrolling rapidly on the holographic screen.
"What are you going to do with these two children?" Henry asked.
Tony paused.
He turned around, glanced at Wanda in Henry's arms, then looked at Pietro, who was also unconscious, lying not far away, and frowned tightly.
"How else can we deal with it?" He curled his lips with a hint of annoyance in his tone.
"Of course...see..."
He hesitated for a long time but couldn't make a clear explanation.
Imprison them?
They were just children being used by Hydra, and although that girl had just nearly taken his life.
Let them go?
Let two super-powered people who have great power and are hostile to you wander around outside?
Because of Henry, the Tony Stark in this world is not a saint.
Hand it over to S.H.I.E.L.D.? Tony scoffed. Just rely on that spy organization that was infiltrated by Hydra like a sieve?
That would be no different than sending them directly back to Hydra.
"Look, you can't think of any good solution, right?" Henry pointed out his predicament incisively.
"So, I have a suggestion."
"explain."
"We'll take them home," Henry said simply.
Tony was stunned. He looked at Henry as if he were an alien.
"Are you crazy?! Bring them home?! Bring two reserve terrorists who just wanted to kill us back to our home?! Did that girl's mental attack damage your brain? Our home is a villa, a superhero building, not a correctional facility for troubled teenagers!"
"First of all, we don't have any Superhero Building yet," Henry corrected.
"Secondly, they are not terrorists. They are just two children blinded by hatred. And the source of this hatred, after all, is because of us, or rather, because of the weapons once manufactured by Stark Industries."
Tony's face fell.
This is the eternal pain in his heart and the original sin he has always tried to make up for.
"So what?" He spoke stubbornly, saying something against his will.
"People die every day all over the world from all sorts of reasons. Car accidents, illness, accidents... Am I responsible for every person who dies in a car accident? The car they were driving might have used parts produced by Stark Industries?"
"You know what I mean, Tony." Henry shook his head and said calmly.
"This isn't your fault, nor is it my fault. But this is the responsibility of the Stark family. Just don't deny the harm our weapons have brought to the world. We can't choose our origins, but we can choose how to face them. Escaping is not the Stark style."
He looked at Tony's uncertain face and continued, "If we leave them here, they will only be used again by Hydra or some other messed-up organization and become weapons in the hands of others. Bringing them back, at least, we can give them a chance to choose. A chance to choose not to let hatred dominate their lives."
Tony was silent.
He looked at the girl in Henry's arms, who was so fragile that she seemed to break at the slightest touch, then looked at the silver-haired boy on the ground. A tired expression appeared on his face, which was always confident and arrogant.
"All right."
After a long time, he let out a long sigh, as if he had made a difficult decision.
"Just as you say. But let me make this clear first. If they dare to mess with my things in my lab, or eat potato chips and drop crumbs on my leather sofa, I promise to pack them up and send them directly to outer space using the fastest courier!"
Henry smiled when he heard this.
He knew that this guy was a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them," he said.
"Data extraction completed, sir." At this moment, Jarvis' voice interrupted their conversation.
"All the information in Baron Strucker's brain has been copied. In addition, based on his memory, I found the self-destruct program of this base."
"Well done, Jarvis." Tony's spirits instantly lifted up. He turned around and looked at the pile of garbage that had completely turned into idiots, and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Set the countdown to 1 minute." He gave the order.
"Let's celebrate the success of our European tour with a grand fireworks display."
"Yes, Sir."
The piercing alarm sounded again throughout the underground base, but this time, it was no longer an enemy warning, but a countdown to destruction.
"Let's go." Henry hugged Wanda and glanced at Pietro on the ground.
Tony understood, walked over, and picked up Pietro with one hand like a chicken.
"I have to say, this thing is pretty heavy," he complained.
"I really don't know what he ate to become so strong."
"Maybe it's the Nutri-Express produced by your Stark Industries," Henry complained casually.
The two brothers, one holding the other and carrying the other, then flew back the way they came as if no one was around.
Behind them were the countdown numbers constantly jumping and the sinful land that was about to be engulfed by flames.
As they rushed out of the castle and flew high into the sky, the castle beneath their feet was instantly completely engulfed by a huge fireball that shot up into the sky.
"Boom!!"
The violent explosion triggered an avalanche, and rolling white waves poured down from the top of the mountain, burying the ruins and the darkness hidden within them under endless ice and snow.
Tony was suspended in the air, quietly watching the spectacular scene below.
"It's so beautiful." He murmured to himself.
"Yeah." Henry flew to his side, looked at the reshaped landscape, and nodded.
"It seems that sometimes, destruction is indeed more artistic than creation."
Tony turned his head to look at him, then looked at the two people in his arms and in his hands, and suddenly felt tired.
"I kind of regret it," he said weakly.
"What are you regretting?"
"I regret agreeing to bring these two burdens along." Tony sighed.
"I think our Hydra Doomsday Tour might have to be put on hold for now. We need to go home and put up some security railings on my damn mansion."
