Chapter 810: Preparatory Work
Ten minutes later, Tom and Dave parted after exchanging contact information. As for what Tom and Dave said to each other during those ten minutes, only they know. Dave, however, walked away looking excited, like he’d hit the jackpot. Because he has confidence in his future dream again. And it was the confidence that came from a friend at Mirage Knight.
After being separated from Dave, Tom went on to Peter Parker’s house. Although there were some incidents on the way, Tom did not forget the purpose of his trip. That is to inquire about Lin Rui, who has not been heard from for a long time. Peter Parker is the most convenient person to find out about Lin Rui besides his family.
“Dave Lizewski, an innocent guy! But I was also as simple as he is.” On the way to Peter’s house, Tom unconsciously thought about meeting Dave.
In fact, Dave’s behavior is more reckless than Tom’s, but it is also a strong expression of his desire to become a Vigilante. Tom might have been just another high school student until he learned that his best friend was Mirage Knight. Although both of them had the idea of being a hero, Dave was clearly more driven than Tom.
“But is that really a good thing? Dave is just a human being, and there are a lot of dangers on the way to being a hero.” While walking, Tom also thought about some questions repeatedly in his mind.
Before he parted ways with Dave, Tom told Dave that he could help Dave become stronger. Also, he can form a team with Dave to deal with the thugs, just like the Mirage Knight back in the day. After all, as long as human society exists in this world, these social worms will not disappear.
Moreover, with Tom’s current strength, the average street thug can’t be compared with him. One must know that Tom is a successful new Winter Soldier. As far as physical fitness is concerned, Tom is stronger than Bucky Barnes. Lin Rui would have brought Tom into the League of Defenders if he hadn’t always felt that Tom’s unfortunate experience had something to do with him.
As for helping Dave grow into a strong person, Tom is not lying. Although Dave is a regular guy now and he may not even be able to beat several girls in a fight. But he’s very malleable, and with the fighting skills in Tom’s head, he’s confident he can train Dave to be a tough guy.
“However, isn’t it normal to be in danger? Jackson has experienced danger countless times since he became Mirage Knight, and he has persevered all the time.” The thoughts in his mind slowly changed from worry to firmness as Tom made a major decision under the influence of Lin Rui’s stimulation and Dave’s behavior.
“However, Dave’s nickname for himself is the same as his clothes which is to say that they were both ugly. He is actually calling himself Kick-a.s.s…”
Huh~
While thinking about contacting Dave to form his own team in the future, Tom was almost at Peter’s house. As for the gun he had just seized, his fingerprints had been wiped off and it was dumped on the side of the road. Tom didn’t need them now.
Half an hour later, when Tom came out of Peter’s house, the expression on his face was still very heavy. Peter hasn’t been home in a few days, but Aunt May has been able to reach him. She just called Peter in front of Tom and Tom found out that Peter is still at Stark Industries.
“Jackson, what’s wrong with you?” Tom whispered to himself while standing in front of Peter’s house and looking up at the downtown location.
…
When Tom went out to look for any news regarding Lin Rui, Lin Rui was still lying in the medical room five floors underground of the Stark Industry Building. But by this time Tony and his team outside the medical room are already getting ready. Because word from the X-Men is that Anna Marie, aka Rogue, has agreed to return to help save Mirage Knight. So, Tony will get everything ready before Rogue arrives.
“JARVIS, how’s the preparation on Venom?” Tony asked JARVIS while his hands quickly calculated something on the touch screen in front of him.
“It’s ready, Venom will be ready to absorb external energy when needed.” JARVIS’s answer almost followed Tony’s words.
“Well, remember to be extra careful, don’t let Venom touch Jackson,” Tony warned as he looked at some data in front of him.
“Yes, I will be careful.”
“What about Thor? How’s his recovery? He’s not going to drop the ball by then, is he?”?” Tony raised his head and asked after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the experiment on Venom’s side.
“Thor has been given the best Recovery Serum and conditions, and his body has almost completely recovered. Also, Thor has just tested it, and his strength is indeed able to restrain the dark energy in Jackson’s boy.” JARVIS quickly answered.
“That’s good, there’s no problem with Deadpool. I didn’t expect this guy to be the most critical part of the plan, so I’m really worried.” If Thor’s all right, that’ll just leave Rogue and Deadpool. Tony was a little worried about Deadpool.
Why would Jerry a.s.sign Deadpool to Stark Industries? A phone call is all you need to send a message. That’s because, to absorb Lin Rui’s dark energy, it’s impossible to rely on Rogue alone. The dark energy is obviously a powerful destructive force, and if Rogue had simply absorbed the dark energy, she would have been overwhelmed during the absorption process and it would cause an accident.
Therefore, the complete plan proposed by Jerry actually needs Deadpool to cooperate. Rogue would first absorb Deadpool’s super recovery ability and then she will absorb the dark energy from Lin Rui. In this way, Rogue with Deadpool’s recovery ability can hold on under the invasion of those dark energies.
Of course, because there are now three different options. Under Tony’s precise calculation, he will integrate these three schemes in the most reasonable way. In this way, at least this plan to save Lin Rui can be guaranteed to have the greatest chance of success.
