The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

Lake and Rachel looked at each other.

Open the door.

Lake looked at the person standing at the door, with some surprises and surprises: "Pepper."

Yes.

Pepper Potts, Tony Stark's personal secretary.

Pepper Potts, who was wearing a beautiful dress, hugged Lake and said, "Lake, Tony knows you're here and wants to invite you to dinner."

Lake asked curiously: "Really, I thought that at this time, you and your boss should have purchased a private island overseas."

Isn't the first choice of these rich people for vacations on various private islands overseas? After all, on those private islands, you can do whatever you want without worrying about paparazzi or public opinion.

"Not this year," Pepper said.

Lake turned his head and glanced at Rachel, who came over, and introduced each other.

"Pepper Potts, Secretary General of Stark Industries."

"Rachel Toledo, my girlfriend."

"Hello!"

"Hello."

After Pepper and Rachel shook hands, they looked at Lake: "So, go?"

Lake thought for a while, then nodded: "Of course, it's always a pleasure to have a guest, isn't it?"

Done.

Pepper and Lake hugged again, then turned and left, not far away, Happy, who looked like a boss and didn't want a bodyguard, opened the door and let Pepper get in the car.

soon.

The car left here.

Close the door.

Rachel looked at Lake curiously: "This can explain a problem."

Lake looked at Rachel curiously.

Rachel said: "You and Tony Stark are good friends, which explains your style of life well."

It appears to outside speculation.

Although Tony Stark has always been unmarried, according to outside speculation, Tony Stark is estimated to have no less than two illegitimate children outside.

After all, some models who have been in a relationship with Tony Stark like to break the news, for example, Tony Stark's performance in bed or something.

Just right.

In Rachel's view, if Lake and the rich Tony Stark knew each other, it would explain a lot of problems.

Lake was a little speechless, he was not the same as Tony, who was careless: "I don't think I and Tony Stark are good friends, just ordinary friends, because I found out about Howard Stark and his wife. case."

and.

In some ways, the case isn't really over yet.

Because the last reboot of the Howard Stark case was bizarre inside and out.

afternoon.

Lake took Rachel, who had spent two hours in makeup and dressed up, and Josie, and drove directly to Tony Stark's vacation estate in Santa Barbara.

Pepper Potts was already waiting at the entrance of the main hall of the manor.

Tony Stark was waiting in the lounge in the main hall. After Lake and others arrived, the dinner party also began.

A dazzling array of delicacies prepared on-site by top chefs in Los Angeles.

Josie was very happy to eat, even ordinary ingredients, with the blessing of top chefs, made a different taste.

soon.

Lake and Tony were talking about tasting wine at the end of dinner, and then Lake was taken to the basement by Tony.

Full of science fiction.

After drinking.

Lake took a sip of bourbon and looked directly at Tony sitting opposite: "Is there a clue?"

Tony will definitely not invite guests to dinner for no reason. At least, Lake knows very well that the relationship between the two has not been so good, so if you leave the meal alone, naturally, there is something serious.

Tony put down the bar and shouted out the ubiquitous Jarvis.

Jarvis' voice came out: "Mr. Edwin, I have checked various databases around the world, and I have not found any that match the woman you described as Wanda Maximoff."

Lake raised his eyebrows: "Sokovia?"

Jarvis said: "No, sir, according to your description, I have entered the major databases and have not found this Ms. Wanda Maximoff. The only one that comes close is in the DMV in Utah. , found a gypsy couple, they were indeed the Maximoffs, but they had no children and never adopted them."

Lake frowned slightly.

its not right.

"Utah?"

"Yes."

Jarvis continued: "According to the information collected, the Maximoffs are running a gypsy amusement park, because it is a mobile type, and the information I can find can only be traced back to six years ago. At that time, the old Gypsy leader died, and the Maximovs took over."

Lake touched his chin: "What about Wanda?"

Jarvis didn't speak, just projected a big screen, and the crowded small photos instantly filled the big screen.

"There are about 120,000 people in the world called Wanda, of which 20,000 are men. First, we excluded women over the age of 20 according to the information you gave, but there are still nearly 40,000... …”

"..."

Tony shook the wine glass in his hand: "I never asked you why you were looking for this Wanda."

Lake looked back at Tony.

Why?

The reason why your father and mother's case was reopened and solved is that this Scarlet Witch did things.

After all, Lake can think that in the Marvel Universe, the only one with the ability to modify reality is Scarlet Witch, and the others, the Reality Gem is not on Earth, and can't do anything.

but……

Lake didn't tell Tony why he was looking, because it was just speculation, in case.

Moreover.

According to the time line, let's not say whether Wanda is an adult now. Even if he is an adult, Wanda's awakening ability is awakened with the help of Hydra.

Lake frowned and thanked Jarvis: "If you can't find it, you can't find it. Maybe I remembered it wrong."

After all, this is reality, not a movie.

Maybe……

There's no Wanda in Lake's version, and the guy who modified reality to deliberately let him take on the Howard Stark case might be someone else.

For example, a certain bald woman in Daxueshan.

Lake also called and saw the face of a bald woman once when he was a child. If it wasn't for Wanda to do things, there would only be one possibility, Gu Yi to do things.

never mind.

If you have a chance to go back, go to Brick Street and walk through the door to ask.

Lake thought so, and looked at Tony: "Are you treating me to dinner just for this one thing?"

Tony shook his head.

Jarvis re-projected something.

Lake looked up and glanced at it roughly. It was an autopsy report, but when he looked closely, he lost his professional ranking and looked at Lake's head: "Whose is this?"

"Bucky Barnes's."

"Oh."

Lake nodded and looked at Tony Stark with some puzzlement: "This guy died on the test bed, you should know about this."

Tony nodded: "Yes, I was still there, watching him die with my own eyes."

Lake frowned: "So?"

Tony said solemnly: "But later, I conducted a detailed autopsy on him and found one thing, this Bucky Barnes is not Bucky Barnes."

Lake: "..."

What is this Bucky Barnes not Bucky Barnes?

Lake blinked, you've got me lost.

"Jarvis."

"Mr. Edwin."

After Jarvis got the order, he immediately explained to the lost Lake: "Based on detailed tests and research on Bucky Barnes' organs..."

Lake listened to a string of academic terms jumping out: "Speak directly to the conclusion."

Jarvis is good at it: "This Bucky Barnes is fake."

The corners of Lake's mouth twitched: "You are too concise. I am not a genius like your boss, so keep it simple."

Jarvis said directly: "According to the laboratory research, the age of Bucky Barnes' internal organs is inconsistent with the age shown by his appearance. According to the experimental results, the real growth of his internal organs is no more than two years old. year."

"what?"

Tony, who was sitting opposite, said to Lake: "I suspect that this Bucky Barnes is a clone, and the real Bucky Barnes is still at large."

Human clones?

good guy.

I'm just here for a vacation, whoever provokes whom, can you let me have a good vacation?

Lake returned to his senses, rubbed his eyebrows, digested the news, then frowned and said to Tony: "If Bucky Barnes is a normal person, then what is his real age, seventy Eight years old, we all know that Bucky Barnes was injected with some kind of drug by the Russian deep dive group, maybe, because of the effect of that drug?"

Tony was straightforward: "Impossible."

Lake asked, "Why?"

Jarvis explained aloud: "Mr. Edwin, such a powerful potion can definitely be detected, even if it is a little trace of existence, but in this Bucky Barnes' organ, No traces of non-experimental drugs were found, and, according to an archived report, Bucky Barnes punctured a lung during an operation, but on this body, nothing happened, any lung hand Signs of damage."

Tony looked directly at Lake and said solemnly, "This is a clone, they lied to me."

The enemy who killed his father is still alive?

Tony was in a bad mood. If he hadn't watched this Bucky Barnes die, and the experiments on organs were a little weird at the time, if he had brought in several experts in the field of autopsy to jointly conduct an autopsy, I guess he would have thought that Bucky Barnes was dead, and he was ready to go to Howard Stark's grave to tell him the news of his vengeance.

result……

This person is fake.

This Bucky Barnes turned out to be a fake.

The real enemy who killed his father, from the beginning to now, is still at large.

Lake heard that Tony Stark was so determined, and his face was not very good.

without him.

If this is true, then...

good guy!
