~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The screen was full of surprises.
The video continued.
[Across the entire Marvel Universe]
It can be said that everything began with Iron Man—and in the end, it all returned to Iron Man.
[The moment Tony said "I am Iron Man" in front of the reporters, he officially stepped onto the path of becoming a superhero.]
But that was only the first step.
Heroes still need to grow.
Becoming a superhero requires intense training.
After revealing his identity, what did Tony experience next?
Let's keep watching.
[Classic Scene 1: Agile Happy]
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
Hawkeye looked a little disappointed.
"Hey, Natasha, looks like we both guessed wrong."
"The next video is actually about Tony."
"You said that after a few clips, there wouldn't be any more about us."
Black Widow shrugged.
"Hey, cheer up."
"You already showed up in Thor's video."
"And me?"
"Other than the New York battle, I didn't even see a single clip of my shot."
"If anyone should be upset, it's me."
Hawkeye thought about it.
…She wasn't wrong.
Maybe more of his scenes would show up later.
As he thought about it, Hawkeye suddenly straightened his back.
Hey.
Cool.
Stark Tower
At this moment, Happy was practically sticking his butt in the air.
"See? What did I say earlier?"
"I told you I could take down five or six guys bare-handed!"
"My nickname is 'Deadly Scissor Kick'!"
"You didn't believe me!"
"And now look— even the screen is praising me as 'Agile Happy'!"
"Hahahaha!"
Colonel Rhodes, Tony, and Pepper looked at Happy with pity.
This guy had way too much energy.
Like a freshly grown leek.
After watching so many clips, the three of them already knew one thing well—
Anyone featured prominently in a "classic scene" usually ended badly.
So even though the screen could predict the future,
They all agreed on one thing:
If you don't need to step onto the stage—don't.
Rhodes and Tony exchanged a glance, then looked at Happy, who was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.
In their hearts, they sighed:
"Laugh while you can, Happy. If you don't laugh now, you may not get the chance later."
Apart from the clueless Happy,
The other three felt their faces burning.
They sighed again.
Ah…
What a fine leek.
Plenty more chances to harvest it later.
Indoor Boxing Ring
[Happy and Tony are doing sparring training.]
Pepper walks in holding documents.
Pepper: "The notary is here. Come sign these papers."
Tony, throwing punches: "Wait—I'm about to kill Happy."
Tony dodged Happy's punch and smashed his elbow straight into Happy's nose.
[Happy staggers back.]
Tony: "Sorry."
Happy: "What the hell, Tony?! You said this was just practice!"
Tony imitates Tyson's footwork.
Tony: "This is MMA. It's popular now."
Happy looks unconvinced.
Happy: "That's dirty boxing! It's been around forever! You're terrible!"
Just as they were fooling around, a woman with wavy red hair and a tight white blouse walked in.
Happy glanced sideways. Tony followed his gaze.
Despite having seen countless beauties, Tony still sucked in a sharp breath.
Pepper, sorting documents, spoke calmly:
Pepper: "I promise, this is the only time I'll ask you to transfer the company to me."
The red-haired woman—Black Widow—walked up, handed Pepper a pen, and pointed at the file.
Black Widow: "Please initial here."
Tony froze.
Happy smacked Tony on the head.
Happy: "Lesson one—never look away…"
Annoyed at being interrupted while admiring a beauty, Tony spun around and delivered a whip kick to Happy's stomach.
Even with protective gear, Happy was sent flying.
Happy removed his helmet.
Happy: "Damn it, Tony. You're brutal. I'm done."
Tony, having clearly abandoned loyalty for beauty, ignored Happy and turned to Black Widow.
Tony: "Miss, may I ask your name?"
Black Widow: "Natasha Romanoff."
Tony pointed at the ring.
Tony: "Get in."
She slipped under the ropes and stood up gracefully, revealing a perfect S-curve.
She gave Tony a seductive look.
Tony appeared calm—but strategically started drinking water.
They stared at each other for ten seconds.
The air grew… ambiguous.
[In the end…]
[Playboy Tony slightly lost.]
Tony turned to Happy.
Tony: "Happy, mind teaching her a lesson?"
Happy: "No problem."
Tony stepped down and sat beside Pepper.
Tony: "Pepper, who is she?"
Pepper: "Legal department. If you keep staring…"
"You'll get sued for sexual harassment."
Tony turned away.
Tony: "I need a new assistant."
Pepper: "Really? I have three candidates waiting."
Tony shrugged.
Tony: "No time. I want one now—and I think she's perfect."
Pepper gave a professional fake smile.
Pepper: "No."
Back in the ring.
Happy started chatting with Black Widow.
Happy: "Ever trained boxing?"
Black Widow: "Yes."
Happy: "Boxercise? Yoga? Toning workouts?"
Happy stared at her like a pervert possessed.
Tony clapped.
Tony: "By the way, how do you spell your name?"
Black Widow: "Rushman."
Pepper looked surprised.
Pepper: "Going to look her up? I thought you were just staring."
Tony: "No. I'm definitely just staring."
Pepper: "???"
Tony scrolled through her profile, impressed.
Tony: "She's incredible. Fluent in French, Italian, Russian, and Latin."
Pepper: "That language is dying."
Tony: "Wait—look! She even did a lace photoshoot in Tokyo!"
He zoomed in while still talking.
At that moment, Black Widow turned to look at them.
Happy was still staring like a creep.
Seeing no reaction, he said:
Happy: "Rule number one—always keep your eyes on your opponent."
He lunged forward.
Without even turning around—
Black Widow caught his punch.
Then—
She spun 360 degrees midair, crossed her legs around his neck—
And executed a Deadly Scissor Kick.
Happy was instantly slammed to the ground.
The three watching were utterly shocked.
Back in Stark Tower.
Happy stared at his own humiliating expression on the screen.
His eyelids twitched violently.
"Oh no…"
"I'm the backup?!"
"How can SHE do the Deadly Scissor Kick too?!?"
