Black Widow and Momma Frakker's conversation in the café made it clear to everyone that Tony Stark's armor being taken by his friend was actually Tony Stark's own choice.

In fact, this is very obvious. Setting aside the issue of permissions, Tony Stark is the inventor of the armor and, as Iron Man, he is extremely skilled in using it, while James Rhodes is wearing the armor for the first time. Can he really defeat Tony Stark?

"At that time, you thought you were going to die, so you wanted to leave a set of armor for your good friend. I understand that," Thor asked, "Why didn't you just give it to him? Was it just because of pride?"

"Because I can't set that precedent," Tony Stark said, "There are too many people eyeing my armor, and regardless of who wants it, I've refused them all. If I were to give a set to Rhodes, then all those who I've rejected would come after it. So, the armor had to be taken, not given."

"I think the most noteworthy aspect of this video is not the armor," Clint Barton walked up to Tony Stark and looked into his eyes, "Stark, your CEO, Pepper Potts, do you only see her as a colleague?"

"Of course not, we're friends," Tony Stark paused for a moment and added, "I can trust her with anything. What I mean is, except for the Iron Man part, I can completely trust her with my company and my life."

"Come on, Stark, are you sure you only see her as a friend?" Clint Barton bluntly exposed Tony Stark, "That confession you made in the video doesn't seem like a joke."

"I said those things while drunk."

"Come on, when did Stark become so thin-skinned?" Phil Coulson chimed in, "From the Battle of New York to the Age of Ultron, not to mention other disasters we don't know about, we can't say for sure how long we'll live. Stark, are you sure you want to continue holding back?"

"Alright, I admit that everything I said in the video is true," Tony Stark confessed, "I've never seen such a perfect girl before."

"Stark, it's obvious that she cares about you," Thor also spoke up, "I never thought a person who pees in his armor would have such good luck."

"Thor, couldn't you skip the part about peeing in the armor and just say good luck?" Tony Stark said helplessly.

"Now you understand the significance of these words," Thor retorted, "Who was the one who kept bringing up my incidents of being electrocuted and beaten by the Hulk?"

"Thor, now it's only you who keeps mentioning it!"

"Stark, I congratulate you on finding your beloved girl, and I wish you well, but I also have a threat for you," Thor walked proudly up to Tony Stark, "If you dare to mention my, uh, incidents of being electrocuted, uh, some of my incidents, I will tell Miss Potts about some things I've seen."

"Thor, what strange things are you talking about? I have absolutely no idea," Tony Stark looked completely confused, "What electricity? Are you talking about a movie? Which movie did you watch?"

"That's right, haha!" Thor laughed and extended his hand to Tony Stark, "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" Tony Stark also smiled and shook Thor's hand firmly.

The two large hands held each other tightly and shook a few times, as if two country leaders had reached some important agreement.

[Question 8 begins, please prepare.]

[In the Age of Ultron, who stepped on a child's toy and kicked it under the sofa at Clint Barton's house?]

[A. Thor, the God of Thunder]

[B. Iron Man, Tony Stark]

[C. Captain America, Steve Rogers]

[D. Hulk, Bruce Banner]

[If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded with a bamboo dragonfly that can fly when worn on the head. If you answer incorrectly, one year of lifespan will be deducted.]

As soon as this question was asked, everyone's expressions became strange. Stepping on a child's toy and then kicking it under the sofa, can a person really do that?

But the question was presented in this way, which means that if the answer space didn't appear, someday in the future, one of the Avengers really did such a thing!

The Avengers, the superheroes who save the world and are revered as superhumans by the public, can actually do such things?

"This question can directly exclude me," Tony Stark immediately distanced himself, "I have no interest in children's toys. I only have one 'toy' now, and that's the armor."

"Stark, are you deliberately confusing the issue?" Phil Coulson said, "The question is about stepping on a child's toy, it didn't ask if you like toys or not. Even if you don't like them, what does that have to do with whether you would step on one? Perhaps precisely because you don't like them, you ended up stepping on one."

"Coulson is right, Stark," Clint Barton looked at Tony Stark with a skeptical gaze, "In fact, among the four options, you have the highest suspicion."

"Barton, it's too insulting to say that," Tony Stark said, "Alright, even if I accidentally stepped on a child's toy and broke it, do you think I'm the kind of person who wouldn't admit it? I would buy a toy factory and give the child a new one!"

"I think we can exclude Captain," Phil Coulson said, scanning his gaze over Thor and Tony Stark, "As for the others..." His gaze finally settled on Tony Stark, "Stark, I have no personal grudge against you, but among the four options, you have the highest suspicion."

"Coulson, what do you mean? Are you suspecting even me?" Thor was unhappy, "I am a prince, the god of Asgard, could I do something so tasteless?"

"Sorry, Thor, I didn't see the connection between being the god of Asgard and not stepping on toys," Phil Coulson said.

"This question is impossible to analyze, we can only guess," Thor's gaze also fell on Tony Stark, "Stark, I agree with their views. I also think that among the four options, you have the highest suspicion."

"Thor, our two great nations just signed the 'Treaty of Peaceful Coexistence'," Tony Stark looked like he had been betrayed, "We even held hands and shook hands! "

"Stark, I, in the name of the Prince of Asgard, swear to uphold the treaty between us," Thor said solemnly, "But in this matter, I have no choice. Captain America, a person of great integrity, could he do such a thing? Asgard's prince, could he? Dr. Banner doesn't seem like it either. Stark, only you, you are the most likely. I am speaking based on the matter at hand and not targeting you."

"Thor, are you sure you wouldn't do such a thing?" Tony Stark asked in a low voice.

"I am sure I wouldn't!" Thor said firmly.

"Definitely wouldn't?"

"Absolutely not!"

"According to 'Thor's Law', once Thor is extremely certain about something, then that thing must be wrong," Tony Stark, in order to avoid choosing himself and not giving others a chance, answered directly, "Thor denies A, so I choose A, Thor, the God of Thunder!"

Thor immediately became furious, "Stark, you're slandering..."

[Correct answer! Reward granted!]

Before Thor could finish his sentence, he was slapped hard by the answering space.
