At this moment, Watson was enveloped in shimmering blue and white lightning, standing still as if trying to do something difficult.
"Phew~" With a sigh, the lightning around him dissipated, but his clothes were already tattered.
That's right, Watson had been trying to control the lightning spreading across his body to avoid touching his clothes—he didn't want to be naked when he met Coulson and the others later.
"Still no good. Although the lightning I release should be powerful, I still can't control it well. I can't make it more solid. It seems I need to practice more in the future."
Tony cautiously approached Watson, whose lightning had faded. "Roboboy, are you okay? Are you...a mutant?"
"No, I'm fine. And I'm not a mutant. I don't have the X-gene in my body. This should be...my superpower. And don't call me Roboboy!"
Ding! Host reminder: The system just now fended off a brainwave intrusion!
Watson, who was about to bicker with Tony, suddenly heard this message.
Brainwave intrusion?? Just now?? It must have been Professor X.
System! Didn't you say I wasn't a mutant?
Why would releasing lightning be detected by someone who can sense the presence of mutants?
Ding! Although the dragon gene does not belong to the X-gene of this world, it also does not belong to ordinary human genes!
Therefore, for those who cannot distinguish, the energy reactions between the two may be similar.
Watson fell into thought after hearing this. So, he was misunderstood?
Ding! Multiple armed personnel detected 5 kilometers to the north!
Interrupted, Watson looked up, his gaze falling upon a cluster of green dots and names on the mini-map.
Coulson and the others have arrived.
"Tony, Yinsen, get up, we need to go."
"They're here?"
"Look." The two followed Watson's gaze and saw three armed helicopters approaching in the sky.
As the helicopters landed, Rhode stepped out and said to Watson, who was in tattered clothes, "You've worked hard, buddy. If you ever need my help, feel free to contact me."
He then ran to Tony Stark and said, "Was the Humvee fun? Promise me, next time you'll ride in my car, okay?"
Coulson, meanwhile, shrugged at Watson and said, "I thought the terrorists here would be easy to deal with."
"So-so. It was just a small accident."
"Hoo~! Meow meow~! (^ω^)!" A small white and brown figure darted out from behind Coulson and pounced into Watson's arms.
"Hahaha, Egg! Are you okay? Mmm, I missed you too!" Watson happily ruffled Egg's head, eliciting another comfortable purr from Egg.
"Wow, is this your cat? He's...really big. It seems all your pets are big." Tony also walked over, looking at Egg in surprise.
"This is Egg, and he's very formidable~" Watson introduced Egg to Tony and the others, as if showing off.
"Meow~ (o-ω-)o~"
After returning to the airbase, the group hastily boarded the plane for their return journey.
However, Watson did not take the S.H.I.E.L.D. plane back with Coulson.
He said he wanted to experience how a rich person lives on a plane, and Tony, due to Watson's presence, was far from being as miserable as he originally was. He promised he would safely send Watson home.
Yinsen, on the other hand, needed to go home to see his family, and Rhode said he would send people to escort him.
So—poor Coulson went back to report on the mission by himself.
On the return flight~
"Phew~ The life of a rich person~ So comfortable~" Watson was completely nestled in the royal leather sofa, letting out a comfortable groan.
He was too tired.
He needed to rest now.
Although his physique had reached the average level of a dragon in its second stage, far exceeding Captain America, Watson's personality was not like Captain America's, who could never stop. In his daily life, he preferred to be like an ordinary person, able to sleep soundly and play to his heart's content!
Mental rest makes people happy, just like now~
"Hey, Roboboy. What's wrong with you? You're like a silkworm curled up in its cocoon right now." Tony walked over with two glasses of champagne, only to see Watson slumped on the sofa as if completely drained of energy.
"Tony, if you call me Roboboy one more time, I'll kick you off this plane! That way you can reflect properly before you hit the ground like a pancake!"
"Okay, then, how about 'Great Detective,' John H. Watson? I really liked him when I was a kid—"
"Guys, what are you talking about?" Colonel Rhodes also walked over.
"Listening to a recently rescued idiot complain—" a mumble came from Watson, who had his head buried in the sofa.
"Dude, I was just rescued! I need to vent, can you imagine being tortured for three months in a dark cave??? So, a drink?"
"No, Tony, I'm working! I can't drink! And you're injured, you need to rest!"
"Rhode, there are many medical methods in the world that suit me, and rest is definitely not among them. So, a drink? And you, silkworm, get up, we need real rest!"
"I will absolutely not drink!"
"Hmm, I believe you! Just like I believed you when you sent me to Afghanistan!"
"Meow?"
"Egg, go play in the small room, okay~ Be good~" After saying that, Watson walked out with Tony and the others.
--- As colorful, shimmering lights streaked across the small reception room.
Three beautiful blonde flight attendants began to show off their sexy figures, and a stripper pole slowly rose between them. An atmosphere of ambiguity gradually filled the entire living room.
Rhode, his face flushed, was again holding a bottle of wine and complaining to Watson about his job.
Hmm? Why did I say 'again'?
"Tony, what did they do to you in the cave? Almost three months, your chrysanthemum isn't... compromised, is it?" Rhode turned his head and asked.
"—Those bastards, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was them tying me to a chair! A ring of terrorists pointing my company's guns at me! And someone across from me was filming! I thought they were going to make me perform a live throat-slitting! Then they even waterboarded me! Of course—in the end, we still escaped. Thanks to our Great Detective!" Tony didn't mention the Iron Man suit. He knew what that meant to the military, and he hadn't thought it through yet.
"My God. Next time, I definitely won't let you, you scoundrel, be so reckless again."
At this moment, the three sexy women also walked over with their long, beautiful legs.
Looking at the three beauties approaching, Tony stood up directly, put his arm around one, and walked inside. "Buddy, I promise there won won't be a next time—and you, Great Detective!"
