Chapter 2651 Hollywood Rhapsody (Part )
The car soon arrived at the beach, which was a private beach of a famous hotel. Stark had already reserved a spot. Those who wanted to swim, such as Stark, Peter, Steve and Bobby, went to the locker room to change into swimming trunks. Those who were not interested in going into the water, such as Strange and Schiller, went to the bar to order a drink and walked towards the lounge chairs.
"You have to promise me not to tell anyone." Strange walked on the beach next to Schiller, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and said in a low voice: "This is a serious matter, you have to promise me."
"I can't give you any guarantees, because I won't be the one who breaks them in the end." Schiller tilted his head and looked at him and said, "You're not the kind of person who can hide your feelings for too long. You can't do it."
"Of course I can." Strange said, "Don't confuse me with those isotopes. I have a clear mind and I know the priorities..."
"I hope so." Schiller took a sip of the cold juice, but his face showed an expression that said "I have absolutely no hope."
The sky at the seaside was bluer. It was almost noon and the sun was getting stronger. Schiller huddled under an umbrella and watched the group of people on the beach shouting and yelling.
It seemed that it was Steve who proposed a surfing competition, and Stark had always been good at this kind of competition. Peter was obviously not very confident about Stark, so he followed with a surfboard.
They were in a bay. Looking to the east, they saw a skyline where the sea and the sky met. Looking a little to the west, they saw another beach. It was not a private beach and there were more people there. Because the distance was close, many people were also looking at this side.
Stark, an egomaniac, or more precisely, a narcissistic person, is a typical people-pleaser. The attention of others is the best fuel for him. If one has to describe him in one word, it would be "show-off".
He didn't even lie on the surfboard to warm up or save energy. He stood on it before the big waves came, showing off his recent good fitness results.
But of course, no matter how much he worked out, he could never be as good as Steve, or even as good as Peter and Bobby, who were both still younger.
Stark repeatedly compared the figures of several people in his mind and was obviously a little dissatisfied with his own. Although he was not inferior in height, he lacked muscle mass and his muscle lines were not as obvious as those of the others. From a distance, he could not match the imposing manner of the others.
In that case, he would conquer them with technical moves. Stark had practiced surfing well, and he didn't believe that a few cool flips and turns wouldn't attract everyone's attention.
But the weather was not good. Although it was windy today, there were no big waves in the bay on this side. Instead, the bay opposite had waves after waves of huge waves that made people scream.
Stark was not happy about the fact that they were not having enough fun. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the other side. The waves here are too small."
"Let's not do it, Tony." Peter said with some concern: "Surfing in windy weather is dangerous. This is not a designated surfing area. You are the only one among us who doesn't have super powers..."
Stark didn't listen to this, he jumped up as if someone stepped on his tail, and didn't want to argue with the people behind him, so he just walked over there with the surfboard in his arms.
Steve shook his head helplessly and said, "He's almost going to be a father, but he's still so childish. I really need to have a good talk with Howard..."
There was no other way, the others could only risk their lives to accompany the gentleman, or rather, since the gentleman Stark insisted on risking his life to accompany them, a few supermen, they of course had to go and watch over them, otherwise it would be troublesome if they were knocked unconscious by the waves.
The beach here was too quiet, and Schiller and Strange felt bored sitting there, so they simply followed a few people, crossed a street selling water sports products, and came to the beach opposite.
Someone immediately recognized that they were Iron Man and Captain America, and they pressed forward desperately to get their autographs. A group of bikini beauties sitting at a table not far from the door kept whistling at Peter and Bobby, and the two fled in panic. The ladies at several tables laughed heartily.
Normally Stark would be in the mood to interact with his fans, but today he was determined to beat others in surfing. Seeing that the wind had subsided and the waves were not so big, he had to seize the last chance, so he just said a few words and rushed to the beach.
"I swear I really didn't treat my fans lightly." Stark stretched out his hands and pushed forward in the backstage interview, saying, "It's really too much for them to say that. I also came here from afar to take a vacation. Why can't I enjoy my life a little bit?"
"And when I finished surfing, I rushed into the crowd and signed autographs for each of them. I also took videos and photos with them, which even delayed my lunch. I didn't complain at all. I really don't know how they can say I'm a big shot."
"Besides, didn't Steve ignore them? Does Captain America have the privilege of being immune to death? Or is his smile more lethal than mine?"
"Tony overlooked one thing." Peter, who was sitting in the interview room backstage, folded his hands in front of him and said, "He has had a lot of gossip reports in the past, or most of the entertainment reports about him are not very positive. Many people know that he has a bad temper and is always impatient."
"On the contrary, reports about Steve and I always tend to be positive. People think I'm a nerd who only knows how to sit in the laboratory and do scientific research, while Steve is a sunny and cheerful good guy."
"So the audience of this beach report was surprised that I still had such a good figure and was good at surfing. Of course, there were a lot of positive comments about me, and Steve didn't do anything too out of the ordinary, which was in line with his usual polite image."
"But Tony didn't pay attention to details. When he saw the fans coming over, he didn't even take off his sunglasses. In his haste to rush forward, he didn't even check whether the surfboard he was holding would hit anyone. If I hadn't blocked it for him, he would have really knocked down the ordinary person behind him. He would have been abused by the whole network..."
Stark hurried to the beach, and was about to get on the board when a wave receded. Steve quickly stopped him and said, "Didn't your coach teach you? When you change to another area of the sea, you should observe the situation first, and then warm up again..."
"Old scholar!" Stark said nonchalantly, "Then you just warm up. I want to take off on the next wave."
Stark was well-trained, his lower body was stable, his eyes were sharp, and he didn't panic at all when he saw the big waves coming. He exerted force from his waist, pushed down hard with his back foot, and threw his body forward. Then he relaxed his whole body and waited for the waves to lift him up.
A standard half turn drew cheers from the people on the beach, but unexpectedly, even more enthusiastic screams broke out from the other side of the shore. Stark looked over there and found a figure who did a one and a half turn in the air on the side crest of the big wave, and landed in a half turn, which was incredibly handsome.
Steve was still lying on the board and paddling slowly. He knew that Stark wanted to be in the spotlight and didn't want to stop him. He signaled Peter with his eyes to stand up later. Peter then pulled Bobby and paddled beside him.
But unexpectedly, they didn't stop it, and someone else came to the fore. Steve looked over there, and his excellent eyesight allowed him to immediately recognize that it was a group of familiar faces, the young people from the new Warriors team.
It was Robert who had just performed that difficult move, and Stark obviously recognized him. But at this time another big wave came. He gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, pulled the front rope of the board hard, and rushed straight towards the wave.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Peter stood up immediately, slid the board to the side, and dived under the waves that were more than ten meters high. He picked up Stark who was almost knocked down by the waves.
But who knew that Robert over there performed better. He first did a reverse curl, and then drew a smooth S-shape on the side wall of the wave. After coming out from the tail of the wave, he jumped to the top of the peak, made another big turn, and fell with the wave.
Waves of more than ten meters may sound scary, but in fact they are not particularly high. However, this gorgeous and wonderful action drew cheers from the people on the shore.
Stark had a gloomy face since he came ashore. When Robert came over to say hello, he shook off the other person's hand. Robert was a little puzzled, but he came here not for Stark, but for Steve and Schiller.
Because of an unexpected event in the plan, he thought he had killed Captain America, which stimulated him and caused him to suffer from stress disorder. Schiller had been taking care of him. Later, in order to make up for his guilt, Steve recruited him into the Avengers' reserve team and had been teaching him various combat skills.
Robert has the ability of speedball, which means he can bounce in the air like a ball. Even Captain America's mobility cannot match his. This ability is born for speed and agility sports such as surfing. It is a bit unreasonable for Stark to compete with him.
"I've had enough of these mutants!" Stark said angrily in a backstage interview, "They're always trying to steal the spotlight in various places! They don't know how to read people's minds at all!"
"I have to clarify again, I'm not a mutant." In the backstage interview, Robert has grown long hair and looks a bit like a rock youth. He said: "This ability was acquired accidentally, not innate. I also went through very hard training to master surfing skills. He can't erase my efforts just because of my talent."
"Tony Stark is used to doing this." Strange curled his lips in disdain during the backstage interview and said in a shrill voice, "Isn't it just that I was born with a pair of God's hands? Do you still want me to give these freaks more respect?"
The word "freak" was muted.
Schiller didn't know why they started arguing again. The strong wind was about to stop, so why didn't they go surfing? Just to pose with a surfboard?
Stark was not convinced and of course wanted to have another contest. Most people know that a wave has a head and a tail. When a wave rolls in, one side rolls down first while the other rolls back. This means that surfing competitions cannot be held on the ocean because there is no fixed position.
So it was difficult for so many people to compete in surfing at the same time, but Stark insisted on competing, and the others couldn't do anything about it. Finally, Peter looked at Strange and said, "Doctor, how about you use magic to create a few similar waves?"
Strange didn't even look at Stark.
At this time, the squirrel girl in the new warrior team spoke up, "I can help you create waves, but you have to promise me that it will be just this time. I'm starving to death."
Schiller knew that Squirrel Girl's ability was similar to making her wish come true, and that she was an invincible cartoon character, so he also advised: "After all, there are so many tourists here, it's not good for us to always occupy the middle. Let's finish the competition quickly and eat."
Stark, Robert, Peter, Steve and others all got on the board.
I haven’t been sleeping well recently. Is it because of stopping the medication?
