Chapter 1714: Untitled
Luke found Tony the next day and informed him of the establishment of the PDD.
This was to prevent the Avengers and the Justice League from clashing in the future.
Given Luke and Tony’s relationship, it would only be a matter of minutes to check a person’s identity.
It was basically impossible for anyone to pretend to be from either side.
The tycoon wasn’t unhappy about that.
In fact, Tony was now the leader of the Avengers.
Maria Hill worked at Stark Industries, but what she handled had nothing to do with Stark Industries.
Natasha had ostensibly disappeared, but was still in regular contact with Tony in secret.
Even Phil’s new SHIELD had a lot of underground dealings with Tony.
The new SHIELD wasn’t too big, but there were still more than 200 people. It was impossible for it to completely conceal all of its operations.
Modern society was highly industrialized.
A small organization might be able to rely on inventory to last a few months or a year.
With more people, things always wouldn’t be enough. It was normal to buy whatever was lacking.
SHIELD had already become a public enemy. Without official channels, whatever supplies that the new SHIELD needed basically had to come from the bigshot and Tony.
Tony was already one step ahead of Luke in setting up an external organization for dealing with superpowers.
After all, Batman was the leader of the Bat Squad.
It was just that Tony frowned when he heard the names “Justice League” and “PDD.”
He looked at Luke suspiciously. “Do you want to be a judge? Or a police officer? Or even a prosecutor?”
Luke sipped his coffee leisurely. “It’s just a name. In the past, I also just pronounced a culprit ‘guilty’ and immediately carried out the sentence. Is there a difference?”
Tony was lost for words.
Batman didn’t need to share judicial authority with anyone, unlike America’s separation of powers into three.
“Also, if we run into superhumans or aliens again, we need a name, right? You have the Avengers. Should I keep calling the team the Bat Squad?” Luke added.
Tony was once again unable to respond.
He understood what Luke was saying.
In the end, the Bat Squad or the special force team was just an ordinary codename.
The other members wouldn’t say anything, but this sort of name, which made one person the focus, wasn’t suitable for a formal organization.
It was especially unsuitable for superheroes.
Superheroes weren’t ordinary people.
Putting aside their abilities, few of them had good tempers.
If Tony dared to turn the Avengers into the Iron Man Squad, Steve would be the first to refuse. How could Captain America work for Iron Man?
Although Natasha and Hawkeye wouldn’t say anything, they definitely wouldn’t be happy.
Thor? He was the crown prince of a godly realm who was lending a hand only because he wanted to. How the hell could someone like that be Iron Man’s subordinate?
After that, Luke gave Tony six Pym Particles.
Tony looked at the dark red tubes in interest. “What’s the good stuff?”
It definitely wasn’t Life 1. Although it was also red, it was clearly a different shade.
Luke had barely said that it was a Pym Particle, when Tony suddenly raised his hand to stop him. “I know it. How did you get it?”
Luke said, “The bigshot found Dr. Pym and bought it at a premium.”
Tony didn’t care about the premium or whatever; he was well versed in the ins and outs of the Pym Particle, including how his father had tried to reproduce it.
In fact, when Pym Technologies had been looking for funding, the tycoon had also wanted a share.
If there was one thing Darren inherited from his teacher, however, it was his vigilance against Stark, and he firmly rejected Tony’s offer.
Darren’s supporters also worked together to prevent Stark from becoming a shareholder.
Titanium Phone Company also only obtained a supply contract. It was at most only able to obtain a small quota which it could give to Stark Industries to research.
In any case, Pym Technologies would never cooperate directly with “thief Stark.”
But Tony was proud and arrogant, and was able to obtain a tube through private channels. After studying it, he knew that it was useless, so he gave up.
There wasn’t enough to be able to come up with the theory and technology.
Tony’s eyes glowed. “A steady supply?”
Luke shook his head. “That would be difficult. So, use it sparingly. Don’t use it all for experiments. It’s good enough to use it to solve the energy problem with the nanosuit.”
Pondering for a moment, Tony nodded in agreement.
Why give this to Tony? Putting the matter of the Ant Man suit aside, this thing would be able to resolve the energy system issue with the nanosuit.
After all, it took a special suit to shrink a person to the size of an ant, but it didn’t take any special method to shrink a reactor to the size of an ant.
How powerful was a third generation arc reactor? Disregarding how the components could become outdated, Tony could probably use it until he was 70 to 100 years old.
Besides, there was no need to make the nanosuit’s reactor that small; it was more than economical enough when it was ten times bigger than an ant.
So, as long as Tony kept some of the Pym Particles to shrink the reactor, the energy problem with the nanosuit could be crossed off his list of research items.
After that, Luke got up and said goodbye.
His clone would look for Tony once or twice a month. There weren’t many things to do, and there was no need for him to waste his precious research time.
…
In the next few days, Luke’s detective agency, which he didn’t even advertise, was as idle as ever.
Selina and Luke went to visit their own friends.
Luke met with Jenny and Elena separately to talk business and do art.
Selina, on the other hand, had to return to Texas after playing with her friends for two days.
That was because Mario and Sandra, whose lives had become a lot easier, were expecting another child.
Selina’s newest little brother or sister was about to be born. She had to go back and visit her family.
There was no need for Luke to go.
His clone had secretly checked the situation at home every now and then over the last six months, so he wasn’t worried.
Just nice, Skye’s “seclusion” had been a success. Luke had to congratulate her and bear witness as she came out of seclusion.
Actually, he brought lunch with him, and they chatted as they ate.
Skye had succeeded because of her own efforts and also thanks to Luke.
Her Vibration ability was more than twice as strong as before, but her control was several times better.
The shock absorbers on her hands had undergone five major modifications and 37 small tweaks.
With her control and the shock absorbers, she finally didn’t have to worry about her hands turning to dust.
The shock absorbers had also changed from their earliest big and black appearance to a sleek and inconspicuous pair of thin gloves that could even change to skin color.
Now, nobody would wonder why she was wearing two metal cannons on her hands.
Also, Luke wanted to recruit her for the PDD.
If things all went as planned, she would become a member of the Justice League in a few years, and a mid-level supervisor.
