Let me show you a new way Chapter 217

Hearing Tony’s words, his father fell silent, then stepped forward and hugged his son tightly.

“I love you too, son!” Howard said softly. For such a stern father, saying something like this was truly difficult.

“Then… I think we should go back, back on the right track.” Howard patted his son’s back hard, then separated from him and said to Tony.

“What? No, no, no, you should leave immediately! Didn’t you hear what I said? If you keep going, you’ll die!” Tony yelled anxiously. He ran directly in front of the car, seemingly wanting to block it with his body.

“We know that, son,” Tony’s mother suddenly said, her voice filled with a familiar gentleness. “But you don’t know what kind of consequences changing the future will cause, or rather, you can’t bear those consequences.”

“I don’t care! I just want you to live! I don’t want you to leave!” Tony’s lips trembled uneasily as he shouted in panic.

“But you must care!” Howard said again in a stern and strong tone, his voice resonating powerfully. “You said you’re a hero, so you must do what a hero should do, and bear the responsibility you ought to.”

“No one knows if changing the past will cause a butterfly effect, or have any special impact on the future. This could destroy countless lives. You cannot risk countless lives for personal selfishness!”

“This is not the behavior of a hero!” Howard extended a finger and tapped the Arc Reactor on his chest.

“I just want to save you…” Tony lowered his head and whispered.

“I understand, I understand, son!” Howard Stark patted Tony’s shoulder and sighed.

“Like a man, stand tall, endure the hardships, and overcome the difficulties and obstacles.” Howard finished speaking and returned to the car.

“I hope you can stay…” Tony squatted in front of the car and whispered.

“I know, son, I know.” Tony’s parents nodded and said to him.

“You are a hero, you have your own life, and we old folks, let’s just leave!” Howard Stark sat in the car seat, placing his hands on the steering wheel.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t witness your entire life, and I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you. But seeing you grow up like this truly makes me happy.” Tony’s mother said to him gently, lightly stroking his hair.

“So… is this the end?” Tony said with a bitter smile, his body staggering backward.

“Goodbye, son!” His parents sat in the car, smiling contentedly, and waved to Tony.

“Goodbye…” Tony’s body swayed, his arms raised high, trembling with sadness, as he waved to them, making a final farewell.

Finally, Tony exited the time circle.

Time immediately resumed its flow.

The car drove forward normally. Tony watched the car disappear into the distance, sitting helplessly on the ground, his arms wrapped around his legs, his head buried within them.

He knew what was going to happen next, and he didn’t want to watch it again.

“Bang!” With a loud crash, the out-of-control car slammed into a large tree by the roadside. Parts from the front of the car scattered everywhere, and Tony’s body trembled violently.

Tears fell to the ground, embracing the dust.

In the distance, a red-haired woman walked towards the driver’s side, looking at Howard Stark crawling on the ground.

But this time, he didn’t call for help, didn’t shout, wasn’t flustered. Instead, he turned his gaze to a camera on the roadside.

He didn’t even look at the red-haired woman, but quietly stared at the camera, then suddenly shouted loudly.

“Don’t be sad for us, son…”

“Because, we will always…”

“Be proud of you!”

Tony suddenly lifted his head, his face streaming with tears. He cried out and ran to his father, wanting to stop his death. But the red-haired woman passed through his body and grabbed Howard’s graying hair with her hand.

“Bang! Bang!” Two heavy punches, like two gunshots, shattered Tony’s bones. He sat helplessly on the ground, watching this tragic scene unfold again.

Finally, the red-haired woman killed his mother, then smashed the camera, and rode away on her motorcycle.

Tony knelt on the ground, tears falling one by one.

“I’m so sorry…”

————————

Somewhere in a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison.

Pietro and Wanda, brother and sister, were separated and held in two adjacent cells.

Wanda’s cell used some special black-tech materials that could effectively weaken Wanda’s mental abilities. Pietro’s cell, on the other hand, used some special flexible materials, making it impossible to break through the wall even with a high-speed impact.

But Pietro was sitting in the corner of his cell, one hand behind his back, in a blind spot of the surveillance.

His palm vibrated at an extremely high speed, forming a silvery-white afterimage in the air. Faint blue lightning occasionally sparked, but was effectively hidden by his body.

Pietro slowly extended his vibrating arm towards the wall behind him. If this special elastic material were impacted at high speed, it would only quickly absorb the impact force and then slowly return to its original state.

But this time was different.

As Pietro’s palm vibrated at extreme speed, faint blue lightning sparks appeared. The vibration frequency of his palm gradually increased and conformed to the wall material. His palm actually passed through the atomic gaps in the wall during the vibration.

In the adjacent room, Wanda also sat in the corner of the wall. Although they couldn’t talk, they communicated silently through their twin telepathy.

They leaned back-to-back against the wall. With Pietro’s effort, his arm passed through the wall and grasped Wanda’s hand.

In an instant, intense faint blue lightning erupted from both of them.

Pietro pulled sharply, and the lightning enveloped Wanda, causing her to enter a vibrating state and pulling her through the wall.

At this moment, a piercing alarm sounded. Surveillance personnel detected the anomaly and immediately pressed the alarm button.

But for a speedster, none of this was a problem.

Pietro immediately picked up his sister. Faint blue lightning instantly lit up around him, and the current enveloped their bodies. Pietro immediately felt the world was different.

The piercing alarm sound began to stretch infinitely, like an old, lagging machine. Dust floated in the air, appearing like diamonds decorating the air under the light.

Everything, everything, was frozen before him.

Pietro revealed a slight smile. His body in a state of vibration, he slowly passed through the cell with his sister.

“I did it! I succeeded!” Pietro shouted excitedly. His sister didn’t answer him, even though he had enveloped her with the lightning on his body… Pietro called it the [Speed Force]… but this didn’t mean she could also become a speedster. The Speed Force merely protected her, keeping her safe from some high-speed injuries.

“Heh! It’s about time we left this place!” Pietro revealed a smile.

The next moment, a faint blue lightning bolt burst forth, rapidly traversing through the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison. Documents, papers, and clothing in its path were all swept up by the strong wind.

Nothing could stop them. In fact, no one could even detect them.

Because when time resumed, papers scattered across the floor, organized files were blown away by the wind, and staff members’ coffee cups shattered on the ground.

The two of them had already run out of the state.

In a deserted town somewhere, Pietro suddenly braked, his feet making a loud “screech” and leaving a long trail.

“I’ve never, ever, run so freely as I have today!” Pietro shouted loudly, his voice filled with unprecedented excitement.

“Okay, okay, I heard you!” Wanda got off her brother somewhat helplessly, tidying her hair that had been messed up from the high-speed run.

“Ha! I’m too excited, I feel a bit… a bit…” Pietro shouted, but his voice slowly lowered. His body swayed, then with a “thud,” he fell weakly to the ground.

“A bit dizzy…”
