Chapter 120: Kid is Exposed!
5/5 weekly chapter, enjoy.
“Why hasn’t Ivan Vanko come yet?”
After Iron Man waited for a while over the fair, he didn’t find Ivan.
“Coulson, are you sure Ivan came in this direction?”
Tony reconnected with Coulson.
Although he wanted to ask Coulson what Phantom Kid had told him, whether they, so-called S.H.I.E.L.D., had actually embezzled his father’s relics, Ivan is their priority now.
“Yes, in Hammer Industries Ivan’s laboratory, the trajectory of every mechanical soldier is clearly marked, and Ivan’s armor is also on it… Wait… Could it be that this is false information… that Ivan is tricking us?! ”
“He didn’t arrive at the fair straight from Hammer Industries.”
Even if Tony didn’t explicitly say that Ivan had been missing, once he checked with Coulson, this latter instantly thought of the only possibility.
“Tony, you haven’t seen Ivan, have you?”
“Not even his shadow is here.”
At this time, Batman intervened in the conversation between the two.
“Ivan Vanko has a high IQ. He was born and raised in Russia, so, he will subconsciously think like a Russian.”
“He is fearless but not stupid. Hence, he will use very rough and cruel methods to deal with you, Tony.”
“Ivan hates you deeply. He will put you under as many restraints as he can. He will do his best to take off your weapons and eventually torture you to death.”
“Humm, perhaps you have a point, but unfortunately, no matter what means he uses, he can’t restrain me.”
Tony said calmly, he does have two major weaknesses now: one is Pepper, and the other is his bodyguard, Happy.
Tony considers these two people family members!
However, Happy and Pepper have been escorted to a safe place by him, even if Ivan wants to find them, he can’t do it all at once.
Then again, he cannot take a large number of people as hostages, because by this time, the masses have basically been evacuated to an end.
If Ivan wants to hold hostages, he needs to go to Times Square in Manhattan or some other far location. But this is not how Ivan plans for his goals!
No matter what scenario Tony thought about, he couldn’t deem his speculations false.
It’s a pity that Tony doesn’t know that there is something called fate in the world. Certain people may meet at the most unlikely time and place, but once they meet, they would inexplicably produce unbreakable emotions.
Alas, he will soon understand this truth…
“Any existence has a weakness, even gods.”
Batman suddenly said something confusing.
“Yeah, you are right, but now is not the time for a philosophy lecture, do you have any idea where Ivan Vanko could be now?”
Tony talked casually to his ‘comrade in arms,’ who likes to philosophize from time to time.
“I already know what Ivan thinks.”
Batman really gave Tony an affirmative answer.
“It’s time… to get into Plan B.”
“What? What plan B? When did we even have plan A?”
Tony was stunned. Batman didn’t explain to him anything, so he disconnected from the communication.
After all, the plan B that Batman just disclosed was not for him.
“Received, Master Wayne.”
On the Batwing, Alfred received Batman’s signal and immediately operated a controller he had never touched before.
The outer armor of the Batwing automatically opened, and pieces of new armor popped out, covering the shell of the Batwing.
When the shells were all covered with this new armor plate, the Batwing was magically invisible!
It is not only as simple as being invisible from the radar, but it is truly invisible to the naked eye, perfect optical invisibility.
“Reflective plates?”
Tony has also studied similar stealth technology before, but there is no particularly good breakthrough. Now that he found out that Batman has more advanced technology, he suddenly had mixed feelings.
“Those are light-absorbing plates.”
Hearing this, Tony nodded in understanding, he was almost relieved.
Optical invisibility has usually two modes to be achieved. The most effective mode is to reflect all visible light as much as possible. This mode is very difficult. It is necessary to ensure that the reflected light does not carry any small amount of information.
The other mode is relatively simple. It absorbs all visible light and does not let the light reflect out so that people will only see a black unidentified object. It is very eye-catching in the daytime, but at night, it is the most perfect means of stealth.
The Batwing is now using the second mode.
At this moment, Tony‘s enthusiasm aroused. He has lived for so many years, and no one has ever been able to surpass him when researching something at the same time as him.
«After I go back, I must make a reflective plate!»
Tony made a decision in his mind.
No one except Batman knows where Alfred went with the Batwing, and no one knows what his Plan B is.
“The cordon… he is at the front exit…”
On the other side, Mathison came to the junction of the official exhibition area and the exit.
He climbed to the top of a dilapidated building, which was quite far from the central square. Batman and the others should have started fighting Whiplash, which makes this the best time to leave with his hang glider.
Using the hang glider now could guarantee an attack from Batwing. With Batman’s character, this can be said to be a certainty.
To be able to take down Whiplash and Kid all at once is a deal that Batman cannot afford to miss!
“Did you think I can’t catch you?!”
Suddenly, a loud voice came into Mathison’s ears.
«No, can I still be found here?»
Mathison immediately hid behind a wall, peeking toward the source of the sound.
There was a well-equipped, young police officer searching for something below.
«Why haven’t the police departed yet? I made sure to use George’s identity to give them the order to leave immediately after evacuating the crowd. Is it possible for someone to blatantly disobey the order and return to the fair to die?»
Mathison thought incomprehensibly.
«He just said that he was going to catch someone… is my identity exposed?»
No, Bruce and Tony don’t have time to tell the police my disguised identity, and they have no reason to do so.
«It seems that George really has some unknown special physique. He woke up in just a few hours whereas he was supposed to remain in a coma for three days.»
“Damn it, I clearly saw that ‘kid’ coming in this direction just now, why is he missing now?”
The young police officer said with an annoyed expression.
«Kid…’Kid’? I really have been exposed!»
Mathison looked around but found no other police officers. It seemed that they were scattered to find him.
So……
«Let’s knock this guy out first!»
