Chapter 386 A Happy Ending
Until the two figures in front of him opened their eyes on their own.
Although more than 20 years have passed and Tony has grown from a handsome young man into a bearded man like Howard was in his youth, the Howards recognized him as their son Tony Stark at first glance!
"Tony?"
"Oh, my child!"
Howard called out, somewhat puzzled.
Tony's mother, Maria, then hugged Tony directly.
Only when Tony felt the warmth of his mother's embrace did he finally believe that none of this was a dream.
His parents, who died on Christmas Eve in 1991, really came back!
"mom!"
Tony, who had accepted the hug, also held Maria tightly, his eyes reddening.
Maria gently patted Tony's back, her heart aching. "Son, it's been a long time since we left back then. You must have suffered a lot without us around all these years..."
Tony rested his cheek on Maria's shoulder, feeling the long-lost warmth of kinship:
"Yes, it has been a long time, more than twenty years. Everything has changed, but my hard times are over. Now it's all good, and I will make sure your future is too!"
Compared to the warm-hearted Maria and Tony, Howard was much calmer.
He surveyed the conference room, which looked anything but ordinary, and the other equally extraordinary people sitting at the conference table.
Especially Toby, who was in the main seat, Howard felt that he had never seen anyone with such a powerful aura as the president!
Perhaps only those art students who almost swept across Europe back then could compare to him in terms of sheer force!
"Howard, I'm so sorry for everything I did to you and Maria back then..."
Just as Howard was staring blankly at Toby in the lead, a familiar voice came from beside him.
He turned his head and saw Captain America and Winter Soldier.
However, Captain America is a low-class Captain America who has been brainwashed by Hydra.
The Winter Soldier is actually a normal Bucky who has regained his Bucky consciousness.
The reason why the Winter Soldier regained Bucky's consciousness is actually related to Tony.
When Natasha attacked the Red Room last time, didn't she ask Tony and Captain America for help?
Hydra sent the Winter Soldier to guide and help them, but Captain America revealed that the Winter Soldier had killed Tony's parents, which enraged Tony and almost killed the Winter Soldier.
Tobey's appearance at that time gave Tony a way out, which ultimately prevented him from killing the Winter Soldier.
Furthermore, Toby also said that once he collects all six gems, he will help resurrect his parents.
So Tony had already pretty much forgiven the Winter Soldier by then.
So after the operation to clear out the Red Room was over, Tony did not let Winter Soldier return to Hydra directly. Instead, he demanded in a strong tone that Pierce remove Winter Soldier's brainwashing and set him free, otherwise Stark Industries would never let Hydra off the hook!
Logically speaking, Pierce should not be afraid of Tony's Stark Industries at all.
After all, no matter how rich or talented a capitalist is, there is still a gap between him and the actual power holder at the top of the pyramid!
The problem is that although Tony didn't threaten him with the Spider-Man name, Tony was always officially the second-in-command of the Spider-Man family, and Toby, the head of the family, valued Tony highly.
This alone made Pierce dare not offend Tony in the slightest.
Otherwise, if Tony were to speak ill of Hydra to Toby, Hydra might instantly become the second Skrull race!
After all, for someone whose strength has surpassed that of a god, destroying the Hydra is really not a troublesome thing.
So Pierce immediately followed through and sent someone the very next day to remove the Winter Soldier's brainwashing, turning him back into Bucky and restoring his freedom.
After that, Tony and Captain America arranged for the Winter Soldier to join the Spider-Man family.
Let's go back to the present...
Howard looked at Bucky with a complicated expression.
But this complexity did not carry resentment, but rather the emotion and joy of a long-awaited reunion:
"Decades later, I never imagined I would see two of my former comrades again, Captain Rogers and Sergeant Barnes!"
"Welcome home, Howard!"
Captain America, Bucky, and Howard exchanged glances, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Sometimes, letting go of grudges between men is that simple; it might just be a glance, and everything is understood without words...
The three of them put their arms around each other's shoulders, as if they had returned to the days when they were in the Howling Commandos, those days when they fought against Hydra together!
Hydra: ......
Looking at the camaraderie of the "older generation" and the family bond between Tony and Maria, Toby shook his head slightly with emotion.
Although his hands were stained with blood, he was occasionally moved by these positive sentiments.
I really envy them; they can enjoy this feeling of something lost and then regained, of a long-awaited reunion.
Unlike myself, whose parents are both alive and whose family is happy, I have never had the chance to experience this.
Toby withdrew his gaze from Tony and the others, and without waiting for them to finish catching up, turned his attention to Peter:
"Alright, that concludes Tony's special award. Next up is our second most hardworking and outstanding employee of the year, the best neighbor in New York, Peter Parker!"
Upon hearing this, Peter immediately stood up excitedly.
He had always thought that the special reward Toby mentioned would be a flying symbiote like two Gwens.
But now that Tony has made a wish to bring his dead parents back to life, Peter is immediately excited.
If Tony's dead parents can be resurrected, it means that his parents who died in a plane crash when he was a child can also be resurrected!
Seeing Peter's expectant gaze, Toby smiled slightly: "Peter, like Tony, you have two resurrection slots. You can choose to use one and keep one for yourself."
Peter was taken aback, then quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't want to keep one for myself. I want to use both, and I also want to resurrect my parents!"
Upon hearing this, Toby shook his finger at Peter: "No, Peter, you can't resurrect your parents, you can only resurrect your mother..."
"Why? Is there something wrong with my father's soul?" Peter asked anxiously.
Peter often saw his cousin destroy people along with their souls to prevent the enemy from resurrecting, so his first thought was that there was something wrong with his father's soul.
Toby gave Peter a deep look, then snapped his fingers.
Without him having to say anything, O'Brien projected a video file in front of Peter.
The video shows a man wearing a baseball cap buying vegetables from a vendor in a poor country.
