A few minutes later, when the scorching wave receded, Happy was gasping for breath, his whole body drenched in sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
But there was an unprecedented glint in his eyes.
He slowly stood up, clenched his fists, and felt the explosive power in his body.
"I feel." He muttered to himself, looking at his palm.
"I feel like I could kill a cow with one punch!"
"Congratulations, Happy." Henry walked up to him with a smile and patted his shoulder.
"You are now the most capable driver and bodyguard in the world." Next, it was Pepper's turn.
Tony's expression was even more nervous than when he was injecting himself.
He held Pepper's hand tightly, his palms full of sweat.
"Pepper, if you feel unwell, tell me right away."
"Don't worry, Tony." Pepper gave him a reassuring smile and nodded to Banner.
Soon, the golden serum was injected into the body, but Pepper's reaction was completely different from Happy's.
She did not roar in pain, but her brows were furrowed and her body was trembling slightly.
A faint golden halo seeped out from under her skin, enveloping her entire body.
"The data is very stable." Banner looked at the screen and said in surprise.
"Her body seems to have a very high affinity with the Phoenix Serum! The cell reconstruction process is very gentle! The strength baseline is 15 tons... 20 tons... and stabilized at 25 tons! And..."
He pointed to another set of data.
"The bio-heat in her body is very active and stable!"
The light faded, and Pepper slowly opened her eyes.
There seemed to be golden flames dancing in her eyes.
She slowly raised her right hand and opened her palm.
A ball of golden flame slowly rose and jumped into her palm.
"I..." Pepper looked at the flames in her palms with an expression of disbelief.
"I can feel it. It's like a part of me."
"cool."
Pietro, who had been watching, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Wanda was full of curiosity. She could feel that the flame in Pepper's palm seemed to have a high affinity.
Tony stared at the scene in front of him in a daze, looking at Pepper bathed in golden flames, and was speechless for a moment.
Only Henry smiled, as if everything was under control.
OK, all solved.
In the original book, Pepper was able to adapt perfectly to the Extremis virus and even burst out with powerful strength to save Tony at the last moment.
Her physique itself has a very high affinity with this energy.
Now that she has been optimized and stabilized by the Phoenix Serum, the power she can exert will only be stronger and more stable.
"Okay, ma'am." Henry walked forward and gave Pepper an exaggerated gentleman's salute
"Welcome to the world of the extraordinary."
He turned his head and looked at Happy and Pepper, who had been transformed.
Finally, his eyes fell on Tony, who was still in a daze.
"Okay, Tony." He patted Tony's shoulder, shaking him out of his shock.
"Now, all the non-combatants in our family have been successfully upgraded."
"Shouldn't we focus on research next?"
He pointed to the Uru metal ball that was still glowing on the lab table.
"Don't you want to build the armor anymore?"
Tony came back to his senses and glanced at the shining Pepper and the metal ball.
Then he took a deep breath and walked towards the metal ball.
"You're right!" He laughed, put his arm around Pepper's waist, and kissed her hard on the face.
"Jarvis! Recalculate all the simulation data! Design the coolest rescue armor in the world based on Pepper's physiological data."
"And!" He looked at Banner and Henry again
"We need to speed up our research!"
Banner and Wanda looked at each other, then shook their heads, and I laughed.
"Rescue armor?"Pepper was a little amused by Tony's sudden enthusiasm. She gently pushed away Tony's face and said unhappily.
"Tony, I don't need any armor. I just gained this power, and what I need is time to adapt to it, not to stuff myself into a tin can again."
She could feel the warmth and power of the golden energy within her.
This is a completely different concept from Tony's armor.
"No, honey, you misunderstood." Tony shook his finger.
"It's not a tin can, it's a work of art! A suit of armor tailor-made for you."
He waved his hand, and a streamlined armor projection instantly appeared in front of Pepper.
"Look at this design!" Tony introduced it confidently.
"It will utilize the divine gold we're developing as its core skeleton, with a vibranium outer layer. This will ensure both protection and form-fitting comfort, just like your evening gown. Furthermore, its energy system will connect directly to your internal energy, making you its ultimate reactor! You won't even need a complex control interface; a simple thought will allow it to instantly cover your entire body!"
"Most importantly," he winked at Pepper, his tone ambiguous.
"I've reserved enough space inside it for two people."
Pepper was stunned, then rolled her eyes at Tony.
This guy always has all kinds of messy thoughts in his mind!
Henry watched with great amusement.
So quickly, even the plan for exclusive couple armor was thought out.
Although the name of this rescue sounds a bit rustic.
Sure, Tony, you have a strong desire to survive.
However, Henry was in a good mood seeing Tony and Pepper reconciled.
This home is finally becoming more and more like a home.
The atmosphere gradually began to become strange, so an inappropriate voice suddenly rang out.
"Um, excuse me."
Banner raised his hand and spoke cautiously.
"Regarding the smelting plan of the divine gold, Jarvis' latest simulation discovered a small problem."
"What's the problem?" Tony and Henry turned their heads at the same time and asked in unison.
For them, nothing can make them more excited than the four words "technical difficulties".
"The problem is energy." Banner pushed his glasses up and pointed at the data on the holographic screen.
"According to the simulation, to perfectly fuse Vibranium and Uru Metal, we need to provide a temperature that can...reach a certain level in a very short time, and the energy output power must be comparable to...an energy source."
"And the energy we currently have, whether it's the Ark reactor or the large reactor on the top floor of Stark Tower, the energy output limit of these things is far from reaching this standard."
Banner's voice cooled the atmosphere in the laboratory.
"We have the best ingredients in the world, but we don't have a pot to cook them in?"
"You mean..." Tony frowned tightly.
This is simply the biggest insult to a talented chef!
"That's the theory," Banner said somewhat awkwardly.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple." Henry curled his lips, but there was no disappointment on his face. Instead, he showed an expression of "as expected".
Are you kidding? Vibranium and Urumetal, one is the strongest physical material on Earth, and the other is top-tier magical equipment produced by the Divine Realm. If they could just be casually combined, it would be too inconsistent with the Marvel Universe's standards.
"So, we need a more powerful 'furnace' now." Henry touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"A sufficiently powerful energy source..." Tony also fell into deep thought, his brain working rapidly.
"Antimatter? Zero-point energy? Or something else?"
"No, no, no, those are too slow, and the technology is not mature enough." Henry shook his head and rejected Tony's idea.
Just then, the door of the laboratory was opened.
Natasha came in.
Of course, she is now known as Natalie Rushman.
She came in with a stack of documents.
"Mr. Tony, Mr. Henry." She put the documents on the table next to Pepper without looking away and spoke in a capable tone.
"This is the quarterly financial report that the board of directors requested. Pepper wants you to review and sign it."
"Oh, leave it there, Natalie." Tony waved absentmindedly, his mind still immersed in the dead end of energy issues. Pepper smiled at Natasha: "Thank you, Natalie, for your hard work."
"That's what I do, ma'am."
Natasha nodded, but she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she stood behind Pepper seemingly unintentionally, her eyes scanning the instruments and holographic screens in the laboratory.
Henry took it all in, a barely perceptible smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
Spy is here again.
He knew that Natasha's appearance at this time was no coincidence. As Nick Fury's eyes.
Now that there is such a big commotion in the laboratory, there is no way that the one-eyed Fury will not send his ace agent to investigate.
Henry smiled and said, "It's just right that you're here. What I'm going to say next is for you."
Henry cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention back.
He turned and looked at Tony, who looked troubled, with a playful look in his eyes and a mysterious smile.
"In fact, there is a ready-made energy source, the most perfect energy source in the universe, and it is hidden on the earth." Banner and Tony looked at each other, both stunned, and Tony asked impatiently.
"What? How come I don't know?"
"Of course, you don't know. Because that thing is something our father. Studied back then. He later hid it away, and it has been kept secretly by S.H.I.E.L.D." Henry shrugged and smiled helplessly.
"It's a blue, glowing cube. They call it the Tesseract."
"The Tesseract?"
Tony, Banner, Pepper... everyone's faces were filled with confusion.
This word is completely unfamiliar to them.
Only Natasha's pupils contracted slightly when she heard the name.
"What is that? It sounds like a prop from a comic book." Tony curled his lips.
As the world's richest man, he also owns a super artificial intelligence called Jarvis. Basically, there is nothing that he doesn't know about the resources available on Earth.
