Stark building.

Tony rarely comes here now because the management of stark industries is entrusted to peper Potts.

Therefore, Mike, who is now his assistant, naturally doesn't have to go to stark building to work every day.

Basically, Tony only comes to the stark building once a week except Saturday and Sunday.

Now, he spends more time in the Avengers building and home.

In the morning, Mike saw Clark and Gwen off, looked at the time, looked a little moved, and walked to the door.

Sure enough, Tony in suit and leather shoes was outside the door.

"Uncle Mike, it's time to go to work."

As he spoke, he gently sucked his nose.

"Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes."

Mike turned and walked into the room, pointed to the table and said, "your breakfast."

Tony finally smiled, and the sadness of the boss calling his assistant to work faded.

He recruited an assistant to help him solve some daily and work problems. As a result... He invited a 'uncle' back.

I dare not rush, I dare not call, and I have to call to work every day

He is really unlucky.

However, one advantage is that he can have a delicious breakfast.

Sitting at the table, Tony turned his grief into an appetite, ate breakfast quickly, and finished the breakfast quickly before Mike came downstairs.

Knead his stomach, feeling more and more meat, Tony suddenly thought of sol, and shivered coldly.

Mike's food is so good that if it goes on like this, he won't be far from sol.

But why doesn't their family eat fat?

Just as Tony had a question mark in his mind, Mike came down the stairs.

With a flash of his body, Mike disappeared in place. When Tony reacted, he had cleaned up the table.

"Let's go, boss."

Mike stood at the door smiling and said to Tony.

Tony walked out quickly.

Destination: Avengers building.

One of the advantages of having Mike as an assistant is that you don't need to avoid Mike when doing superhero work.

Mike drove Tony to the Avengers building and came to Tony's lab together.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, Tony devoted himself to the production of steel armor.

Mike sat aside with his cell phone and began to brush it. Seeing that Tony had been involved in the production, he shook his head.

Recently Tony is madly making steel war clothes.

As an assistant, he is very relaxed, but he feels as boring as his family.

He can't do this work long.

Just then, Tony suddenly gave a terrible cry.

Mike turned his head and saw Tony panting violently on his chest, with fear flashing in his eyes.

"Tony?"

Mike walked up to Tony and said, "again?"

Tony nodded hard.

A purification card appears between Mike's fingers.

When the card turned into a dot of light and dissipated, Tony appeared a cyan airflow. After flashing from him, his anxiety and fear were cleared.

Tony sat down in a chair with a dejected face and said to Mike, "thank you."

Anxiety disorder.

Since the war in New York, Tony, who survived narrowly, has suffered from anxiety disorder.

"Talk."

McCullough took a chair and sat next to Tony.

Tony put his hands in his hair and said painfully, "I've seen a doctor. It's anxiety."

"Why are you anxious?"

"It should be..." he paused and muttered, "the war of New York."

"The battle of New York? Didn't we win?"

Mike asked suspiciously.

In the original plot, Tony's anxiety is because he flew over the space gate with a nuclear bomb on his shoulder. Because he almost couldn't come back, he had no sense of security and was not confident in his own strength. But now why?

Tony took a deep breath and slowly said, "that day, I was almost killed by kryptonians. Really... It's so close. Even if it weren't for Uncle Mike's extensive treatment, I would..."

Speaking of this, his expression became more painful, and even his breathing slowly became short.

"So, you madly make war clothes for... A sense of security?"

"Well..."

Tony smiled bitterly and said, "sometimes I feel safe in my clothes."

Mike pinched his chin, suddenly smiled and said, "it's a little like a special thing before me."

"Huh? Have you ever had anxiety disorder?"

"I don't know whether it counts, but... At that time, I would be a little afraid because of my lack of strength."

After a pause, Mike said, "because those children have been special since childhood, I'm afraid I can't protect them, so I try to make cards every day, for fear that I won't use enough cards when I use them."

"It's a little like your behavior of making steel armor."

"How did you... Overcome it?"

"Overcome?"

Mike thought for a while and said, "I didn't overcome it, Clark. They are getting stronger and stronger, and my symptoms will be better."

“....”

Tony was speechless, and even felt his heart had become more blocked.

"Haha!"

Mike laughed and patted Tony on the shoulder. Then he stopped laughing and said seriously, "I can help you solve this symptom with some ability."

A gleam of joy flashed in Tony's eyes.

Mike then said, "but you need to choose whether you need my ability completely or whether I use my ability to guide you to overcome it. Second, you need to face your fear."

Without hesitation, Tony said firmly in his eyes, "the second."

He can accept help, but he can't accept his complete dependence on others.

Mike nodded and a card appeared between his fingers.

Name: Professor X.

Character introduction: a person with strong spiritual ability.

Note: let's communicate with our hearts.

The card turned into a light spot and dissipated, and a virtual shadow flashed behind the Mike, turning into a light band and rushing into the Mike's body.

Mike stretched out his middle finger and gently clicked on his temple. Invisible spiritual force appeared and poured into Tony's head. He began to dig into each other's fear and find a solution for each other.

His anxiety about the crisis and his lack of strength led him to rely on battle clothes very much, even to the point that he couldn't sleep without battle clothes beside him.

In the final analysis, it is all because he is an ordinary man. He is nothing without his clothes.

Aware of Tony's thoughts, Mike smiled and said to Tony in his mind, "rod also has an iron suit, why not iron man? Why are you the only iron man?"

"Because..."

"Because of you! You made the steel suit!" Mike whispered, "don't let it become a cocoon that binds you!"

"You are the iron man. No one can take this away."

"I am iron man?"

Tony kept mumbling. After a few seconds, he said firmly, "yes, I'm iron man."
