Since Howard's death, Nick has never appeared in front of Tony. At most, he has only been monitored and paid attention to.
To put it bluntly, the fundamental reason was that Tony was of no use at that time.
As an ordinary person, Tony is only useful in technology, but his role in the extraordinary field is limited. Especially after SHIELD obtained the alien technology, even Tony's last remaining value was useless.
So Tony didn't know Nick at all and didn't believe he was his father's friend.
As the king of secret agents and an old cunt, Nick continued without blushing:
"You have always been an ordinary person before, so we did not disturb your life. But now that you have entered the extraordinary realm, it is necessary for you to know some of the truths hidden behind this world."
In the original movie, Tony rejected Nick directly because he didn't believe Nick's words at all.
But now Tony has seen the scene of New York being flooded in his "dream", and he also knows from his master Zhan Liukou that there is a Supreme Mage who can turn back time. Even he himself has become a "Super Bat".
Therefore, he is still very interested in the extraordinary world that exists behind this world. And this relevant information is definitely not something that can be easily searched on the Internet.
Now an insider came to the door, and his genius brain just turned around and he understood.
"So, the Specialty Bureau you name is the department responsible for managing extraordinary affairs?"
"To be precise, S.H.I.E.L.D. is affiliated with the United Nations World Security Council and is not under federal jurisdiction. We have law enforcement powers around the world and have branches in many places around the world."
"Oh, it's still a worldwide organization..." Tony suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Who will pay for it?"
Although Nick knew that Tony had never been reliable, he was still surprised by his out-of-the-box way of thinking.
I was talking to you about how powerful SHIELD is, how big its background is, and how powerful it is, but you asked me who is responsible for paying for it?
"Well...part of it comes from the five permanent members, and the other part is raised by SHIELD itself."
"Self-funded? Got it."
This kind of situation where departments raise their own funds is very common in the United States. For example, the CIA often uses business aircraft to engage in smuggling and other businesses, and the military often transports local specialties such as powder and ice to the country from abroad. Yes, Tony is very familiar with this and that.
"Don't get me wrong, we have legitimate channels to raise funds. After all, the most profitable business in the world has become legal."
"So, you broke into my residence today just to win over me? But I'm a little worried, you can't afford my salary."
"Tony, you may not know, but your father, Howard Stark, is also one of the founders of SHIELD."
"What? My father is one of the founders of your bureau? Is he also a superpower?" Tony was shocked this time.
"No, although he is not a superpower, many of his black technologies were more useful than superpowers at the time. He may have mentioned to you that he and Captain America were friends. In fact, his friends at that time were not only the United States. One captain.”
"But after he died, except for Obadiah, I didn't see any of his friends, and that hasn't been the case for more than thirty years. Until today, because you showed up out of nowhere."
Tony curled his lips and made a motion with his hands as if they were emerging from the ground.
"Sorry, Tony. But please understand, the extraordinary world is very dangerous, and we don't want you to be involved." Nick opened his mouth to talk like this without even hesitating, and the expression on his face couldn't be more sincere. How sincere.
Tony leaned back on the sofa, "Okay, let's not talk about the past. Anyway, I came here without you, and lived well. Tell me about your reason for coming today."
"SHIELD is committed to maintaining the security of the earth and protecting it from alien invasion..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Tony stretched out his hand to interrupt Nick's tirade, and said impatiently: "Just tell me directly that you are looking for me. I have no interest in your great organization."
"The earth needs you, Tony." Nick had to be concise and get to the point.
"Oh, that's a really good statement. It makes people's blood boil after hearing it." Tony leaned lazily on the sofa, looking like a salty fish.
"Tony, the earth has never been safe. It has always been coveted by aliens..."
"I'm reporting!" Tony interrupted Nick again and raised his right hand high, "I'm reporting that there is an alien in the Ultimate Boundless Hall in Chinatown. You guys hurry up and catch him!"
Nick choked and his face froze immediately.
He cursed in his mind, if he could be caught, would it be your turn to report him?
"Tony, I'm not kidding you..."
"I'm not joking with you. I guarantee you that Zhan Liu is definitely an alien, not a mutant. Go ahead, come on, and let me see how strong your organization is." Tony looked at Nick playfully. .
Nick took a long breath and said, "Tony, SHIELD has known about Zhan Liu for a long time and has been paying attention to him. But he has not violated relevant laws so far, so we cannot arrest him rashly."
"So has he joined your SHIELD?"
"not at all."
"That's it. As my master's eldest disciple, of course I must maintain the same position as my master and cannot join any cat or dog organization casually."
"Tony, aren't you curious about the real world hidden under the world? Don't you want to know more about the truth about the world?" Nick continued to lobby, "As long as you join SHIELD, our internal database will By giving you permission, you can learn the truth that is shrouded in the mists of history."
Tony smacked his lips, obviously a little moved, "Speaking of databases, how did you break through Jarvis's firewall?"
"Jarvis originated from Howard's original butler, and Howard reserved the permission code when he originally conceived all this, and I happened to get a copy from him."
"real?"
"real!"
Tony stared at him steadily for a while, then finally gave up.
"I'm not used to working life. I was born to be a capitalist." He declined.
"Well, I don't expect you to work 9 to 5, but you can be a consultant. I plan to form a team composed entirely of superheroes to work together to solve some of the world's major crises."
"Sounds like we're going to the battlefield? I'm a civilian and will only provide logistical support."
"No problem." Lure the person in first, then there will always be a way to soften him later.
"Okay, it looks like I'm going to debut in a boy band too."
