Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Intercepting
The hospital today seemed very different.
Tony parked the car and didn't see anyone until he reached Yinsen's ward.
No patients, no family members, not even doctors.
"You guys took over the whole hospital? I like this style."
Feeling refreshed, Tony started to ramble again.
"But what happened to the doctors?"
"It's fine with just me."
Oaks shrugged, but he was somewhat annoyed with how Coulson handled things.
"Agent Coulson, isn't this going a bit too far? I thought you would just transfer the patients to a special ward."
"The relationship between Dr. Yinsen and Mr. Stark shouldn't be exposed to the public for now."
Coulson innocently spread his hands.
"You instructed us to do so, Consultant Oaks. Besides, the hospital is currently undergoing a fire system upgrade in this building. The doctors and patients are in another building."
"Well, let's settle this quickly. You guys have experience dealing with these kinds of matters, so I won't say much."
The three of them arrived at the ward. Tony looked at Yinsen lying quietly on the hospital bed and sighed softly.
"It's up to you now, Oaks. I promised him that he would see how I make the most of this life."
"Don't worry."
Patting Tony's shoulder, Oaks approached Yinsen's bedside, took a deep breath, and his hands emitted two clusters of emerald green light.
In an instant, the whole ward was filled with a natural aura—Tony and Coulson almost felt like they were in a forest park.
The green light seemed to transform into the shadows of leaves, swirling around Yinsen's body. At the same time, the bed even began to bloom with grass and flowers!
Triple bloom... no, it was a convergence of three flowers.
Healing, rejuvenation, the blossoming of life.
However, because Oaks used a bit too much force, he also used the Blooming Hundred Flowers technique he had for multi-person treatment. The healing flowers, emitting a faint light, filled the entire ward.
"It's too dazzling."
Tony smirked, but he covered his face.
"There should be a beautiful woman lying there instead, so when she wakes up, she can see the flower bed that Prince Charming has presented to her... Instead of the current situation, an old man waking up slowly in a flower bed, and bald at that."
"..."
Coulson touched his nose and didn't say anything.
Although he thought the same way, he knew that Mr. Consultant seemed to be a bit petty, even more so than Director Fury.
It's better not to provoke him.
But this display... Was it an accidental experiment? You're kidding me!
It would be more believable to say it was magic!
As a senior agent, Coulson had seen and experienced many things, so he could accept some special circumstances...
If I had known you were so capable, I wouldn't have spent so much effort on the Tahiti Project!
Those damn Kree should be incinerated in the incinerator. Earth has plenty of talented individuals!
"Oh... To hear your voice again, only to be disdainful of my baldness... It's truly regrettable, Stark."
Moistened by the power of Nature Energy, Yinsen's hidden injuries, caused by delayed treatment, were completely healed. He finally opened his eyes.
This kind of injury couldn't be treated with rough methods; it had to be done slowly. And as for Druids... they excelled at this kind of treatment.
Of course, Oaks could choose to use a single touch of healing to restore Yinsen's body to its peak condition. However, the excess vitality might affect his natural recovery of consciousness.
It would be rather unsightly to resort to beating him to wake him up.
"Welcome back, Yinsen."
Tony came to the bed and gave a big hug to the rosy-faced Yinsen.
"And call me Tony."
"Okay, Tony... But can someone explain what's going on?"
Yinsen jumped off the hospital bed, moved his body a bit, and looked astonished.
"I feel even better than before the injury. Is it because of the flowers in the ward that have this effect?"
"Let me introduce you. This is Oaks Woods, a... biologist."
Tony introduced Oaks and Yinsen to each other and then remembered Coulson standing quietly on the side.
"If you want to know how we escaped, I can't tell you right now, but when the time is right, I will. Please don't try to get information from Yinsen either."
"Of course, Mr. Stark."
Coulson nodded helplessly.
"Consultant Oaks has already reminded me. We are patient... but hopefully that day won't be too far. After all, news of Dr. Yinsen waking up won't be kept hidden for long."
"I understand."
Tony pondered seriously for a moment. He understood Coulson's implication. In fact, initially, Tony had thought about collaborating with others to research the armor.
But after being rejected by Colonel Rhodes even before finishing his sentence, Tony had already decided to complete it on his own. However, Yinsen waking up was an exception.
That set of armor, strictly speaking, belonged to the two of them. Yinsen gave it a reason to exist and a mission to fulfill.
"Yinsen, help me, like before."
Tony looked earnestly at the physicist who had been miraculously saved by "biotechnology."
"Um..."
Before Yinsen could speak, Oaks waved his hand.
"Tony, you're too impatient. Dr. Yinsen has just regained consciousness. If you don't want any aftereffects, he needs proper rest.
I suggest Dr. Yinsen come with me for a period of recuperation, and Tony, you should do the same."
"I... I won't go. Let Yinsen rest. Yes, you should rest properly. Sorry, I was too presumptuous."
Tony realized his mistake. Oaks was right, but this meant that he would have to complete the development of the armor on his own.
"Listen, Tony."
After gesturing slightly to Yinsen and Coulson, Oaks pulled Tony out of the room.
"I know you're trying to solve the current predicament of Stark Industries, and I believe you can do it.
But the problem now is that most of the people at Stark Industries no longer trust you—
Can you believe it? Obadiah actually appeared at the events of the Firefighters' family fund and didn't even think of inviting you. You are the shareholder of the Firefighters' family fund."
"I still stick to my approach and won't regret it."
Tony snorted, seemingly indifferent.
"I'll make them all shut up with my actions. Stark is not just about creating explosions."
"Of course, you're a genius."
Oaks smiled and casually glanced at the position of the reactor in Tony's chest.
"It's just a pity I can't be of much help. It's crossing disciplines, you know..."
"No, buddy, you've already helped me a lot."
Tony smiled, something he rarely did since returning from Afghanistan.
"With your bracelet, my development progress can be 30% faster. And with Yinsen waking up, I think I can be ahead of the original plan by half—
But can you make the bracelet smaller? It's too obstructive. A necklace or something would work too."
"..."
Oaks twitched his mouth and then rubbed his chin.
"It's not impossible... but it will take some time. Also, I wanted to emphasize that for now, don't have too much contact with Yinsen—
You're Stark, and he's not. It's better for him to keep a low profile until you truly have the power to counter all enemies, understand?"
"...Understood. Then I'm counting on you."
"Rest assured."
