Rhodes' Phone Call

Chapter 131 Rhodes' Phone Call

"How is Natasha's treatment going?" Tony rarely entered the underground experimental field again, and he entered the newly built gamma energy research building. Standing next to Tony this time was the chief advisor, the big boss.

The leader stammered, "The laceration has healed, but there are still some problems with the brain."

Tony watched as Natasha, through the glass of the experimental chamber, kept throwing him flirtatious glances and showing off her graceful figure. He felt a surge of excitement and his mouth went dry.

"What exactly happened? Everything seemed normal at first. The movies you watched weren't some kind of hardcore, sadomasochistic B-movie, were they? That's not how you brainwash people."

Upon hearing Tony's words, the leader quickly explained, "No, don't listen to Wesker's nonsense! I didn't watch any junk movies, no, I wasn't brainwashed, there were just some technical problems."

The leader tried to salvage his image, proving he wasn't some perverted doctor from a porn movie.

"What happened to Natasha? It's like she ate something she shouldn't have. Really? Can the T-virus really be used to develop similar drugs? Where's the formula?"

"No, no, although the T-virus has been developed to modify the nervous system, there is no application in this area," the boss tried to give Tony a professional explanation.

"So what's going on?"

The leader quickly explained, "Her will was too strong, so we put her main thought to sleep to protect the secrets in her brain."

Secrets, and subconscious memories form new personalities to control the body.

To put it simply...

"It is the deep memories in her brain that form her current personality and new behavioral logic. She treats you as a mission target, uses the training methods in her memory to get close to you, and then attempts to assassinate you."

"That makes some sense. Although it seems like I'm getting the better deal and she can't hurt me, it's really unethical to keep doing this."

The boss pretended not to hear Tony's words, inwardly laughing to himself, "Immoral? Why didn't you say anything about morality when you caused the laceration?"

"Brainwashing, no, can't that brain invasion continue? Make her normal again." Although the current state is novel, the original Black Widow Natasha from the movie is still more interesting.

"My mind control is limited. Forcibly invading her while she is in a dormant state due to her conscious self-protection would only cause her brain to overheat, which could potentially cause irreversible damage."

The leader considered Tony's words, then nodded in affirmation, "That's right, we can give it a try."

"Then let's prepare to enhance her!"

Super Black Widow, not a bad idea. This is also a reward for the laceration. Taking things for free is not in my nature, Tony.

"Okay, so should we use the T-virus or the Super Soldier Serum? As for the Hulk Serum, there's no better solution for the emotional problem yet, but given the willpower Natasha has shown so far, she should be able to control herself."

Tony imagined Black Widow transforming into the Hulk, and it didn't seem very appealing. At the very least, her soft headlights would turn green and hard. He quickly said, "Forget the Hulk serum, use the T-virus. By the way, how's the research on the new blood I gave you going? Can you make a power-enhancing drug?"

Tony also handed over the newly extracted dragon blood to the big boss for research.

Upon hearing Tony's professional question, the big boss immediately shed his previous restraint and began to explain at length: "The new blood is even more amazing, but it doesn't quite follow basic biological rules. There are many behaviors that cannot be explained by science. We can only use statistical principles to analyze the results of biological experiments."

"Biological experiments? Any results?" Tony asked curiously. Compared to the T-virus and Hulk serum, the dragon bloodline was more inclined towards magic or superpowers.

"Yes, superpowers have emerged in animal experiments, although some are uncontrollable and involve genetic mutations." The leader recalled the magical scenes that occurred in the laboratory.

"Can it be used on people?" Tony was more concerned about this.

"We have actually tried it. Compared to animal experiments, humans have a higher compatibility and longer survival time after injection, but there are other problems as well."

"What's the problem?" Tony had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

"The sanity collapses, and scales appear on the body, and the bones and internal organs also mutate, as if it is moving towards some kind of creature."

Therefore, I don't really recommend giving Natasha this biological enhancement.

It seems that getting the chief to conduct research on dragon blood is still somewhat difficult. After all, it's not only interdisciplinary but also a bit un-materialistic. However, dragons are not purely idealistic either. Given enough time, the chief should be able to research something.

"Then let's continue the research. We'll prepare to enhance Natasha with the T-virus and make her more normal. The research on dragon blood will also continue. However, until everything is ready, I need an assistant. Can Natasha be one?"

"Assistant?" The boss was about to explain that Natasha, limited by her memory, had no assistant skills other than professional seduction and infiltration skills. However, the boss was quick-witted and understood Tony's true meaning. He quickly said, "A personal assistant is no problem. It's just that she still sees you as an assassination target in her mind, which may have led to some irrational actions. I think it's because the last mission she took was related to you."

"It's alright. Before the T-virus injection, it wouldn't have been so easy for her to kill me. In fact, it was quite an interesting experience."

o

Tony had never played this kind of role-playing game before and wanted to experience it more.

"Just be prepared. You can take her away anytime." What could the big boss say? After all, Tony was the boss.

Shortly after Tony took Natasha away, Tony, who had just finished a role-playing session, was reminded by Jarvis: "Sir, Rhodes just called and asked you for a favor."

Feeling refreshed, Tony released Natasha's hand holding the knife, then used his telekinesis to knock out the struggling Natasha. Curious, he asked, "Rhodes? What Rhodes?"

Jarvis had to remind him, "Colonel Rhodes, your former military contact, but after you handed Stark Industries over to Miss Pepper, the military stopped contacting you with many business matters, and Rhodes also returned to his post at New York Air Force Base."

"Oh, Rhodes, I remember now." With this reminder, Tony immediately remembered Rhodes, also known as Iron Patriot. It's no wonder Tony forgot him. After all, in Tony's opinion, black people are not as memorable as blonde beauties. Moreover, since Rhodes didn't build any mechs, Tony had never contacted him to turn off the Air Force's radar alarms to give him a back door.

"Help me turn on a video call for Rod, I need to check if they've changed players."

Jarvis quickly helped Tony contact Rhodey. Seeing the old version of Rhodey in the video, Tony exclaimed, "Great, Rhodey, it's still you. It's good that you haven't changed players."

Listening to Tony's ramblings, Rod asked with concern, "You haven't had too much to drink today, have you?"
