Chapter 789: Helplessness
Chapter 789: Helplessness
Soon, Coulson took Evans back to the Quinjet on the platform outside and left. In the luxurious living room on the top floor of the Stark Industries building, there were only three women left, Pepper as the host, Jane, and Darcy who came over as a guest.
After Coulson and the others left, the atmosphere between the three of them in the living room gradually changed.
“Cough cough! That… Jane, if you’re all right then we should go back. Otherwise, I’d like to see Jackson’s situation. It seems to be quite serious from what Harry Osborn said just now.” When the silent atmosphere became more and more strange, the first person who couldn’t hold on was Darcy, she coughed twice and looked at Jane with a nervous expression on her face.
“Well, I’d love to see Jackson, too. I didn’t know he was hurt so badly. “Jane says with a nod at Darcy’s words.
“Pepper, can we go see Jackson? We’re kind of friends now, and Jackson got hurt because of me.” Jane asks Pepper after answering Darcy.
“This…probably not. As you have seen, I was just made aware of Jackson’s injury and it was because I didn’t have enough authority. So, you really can’t go to see Jackson right now.” Pepper smiled and refused after hearing Jane’s words.
Pepper certainly didn’t mean to keep Jane and Darcy from seeing Lin Rui, the reason she said did exist.
Even she knew that Jackson was in danger because of Harry’s intrusion. Since JARVIS hadn’t told her before, it was obvious that JARVIS thought Pepper shouldn’t know. So of course Pepper wouldn’t let Jane and Darcy go to see Lin Rui.
Jane and Darcy were embarrassed to hear Pepper’s words. But they also knew in their hearts that Pepper didn’t mean to embarrass them, after all, it wasn’t the first time they had encountered a situation of insufficient authority.
“Then… I’ll just wait here for Thor to come back and go back. That’s not a problem, right?” After thinking for a while, Jane looked at Pepper and asked.
“Of course, it’s not a problem, you have just experienced such a horrible thing, you should rest, ask JARVIS if you need anything. However, I have a lot of work so I can’t remain here with you.” Pepper responded with a smile when she heard Jane’s words.
Then Pepper walked towards the side of the table. After walking to the table, Pepper reached out and took a tablet from it.
“Then, I’ll go first.” Pepper, holding the tablet, turns to look at Darcy and Jane Foster and says goodbye.
“Okay, do your work, don’t worry we will be fine here.”
“Goodbye Miss Pepper!”
Da Da Da~
Pepper then walks in her heels through the open elevator door ahead of her, leaving Jane and Darcy alone in the grand, empty living room.
“Jane, are we really going to wait here until Thor returns?” Darcy couldn’t help asking Jane after Pepper left in the elevator.
“What else can we do? Do you want to leave Thor here alone? I don’t know why that Harry Osborn was angry with Thor, but he was pulled over for a purpose. Since you want to know what’s going on with Jackson, do you have a better idea than to wait here?” Jane answered Darcy’s question very casually as she walked directly to the sofa and sat down.
“Okay… Looks like we are waiting.”
“Miss Foster, Miss Darcy, do you need anything?” JARVIS’s voice suddenly came out after Darcy and Jane sat on the sofa.
…
After Coulson left the Stark Tower, Harry, who was pulling Thor, had also brought him to the fifth underground floor. After bypassing several closed labs, Thor finally came to the outside of the medical room where Lin Rui is receiving the Recovery Serum.
After seeing Lin Rui’s condition, Thor almost smashed the door of the infirmary with his fist.
Zi Zi~
Standing outside the glass partition of the medical room, He looked at Lin Rui lying unconscious in the hospital bed. Thor clenched his fists and arcs of lightning seemed to cover it.
At the first moment he saw Lin Rui, Thor noticed the dark energy remaining on his wounds. Thor, who had already guessed that he had encountered Dark Elf on the other side of the dimension, was of course aware of these Dark energies, which is why he was so angry.
Boom!
“Damn! Why is this happening?! With such an injury, so much dark energy remains, and the one who injured Jackson was at least the Elite Warriors of the Dark Elf! What plan did they have, and why did they appear in that dimensional space!?” Thor was unable to restrain himself from hitting the glass wall as he spoke with an angry and helpless expression on his face.
Harry’s eyes lit up when he heard Thor’s words. He just brought Thor over and didn’t tell him about Dark Elves, but Thor himself had already judged that the injury on Lin Rui was caused by a Dark Elf. So, Thor must know about Dark Elf, so maybe he really has a way to save Lin Rui.
“So you know! Do you have a way to deal with these dark energies? It’s these dark energies that have been draining Jackson’s life. If it weren’t for the magical thing in Jackson’s hand that kept releasing special energy that supports him, he would have been dead!” Harry quickly asked as he explained Lin Rui’s situation.
“Those are the dark energies unique to the Dark Elfs and they have an annoying ability that devours everything. If my powers were recovered to their peak then I would have no problem dealing with these dark energies. But now, look at me.” Hearing Harry’s words, Thor’s expression was deep and he held up his hands as he spoke.
Zi Zi~
After Thor raises his hand, several tiny electric lights flash out, illuminating Harry’s face as he stands before him. After seeing the electric light coming out of Thor’s hand, Harry’s eyes gradually change.
Because he feels a sense of grandeur in these tiny flashes, which are fundamentally different from normal flashes of lightning or the nature flashes controlled by Storm’s mutant ability.
