Chapter 2658

"Tony knows very well that he shouldn't say this. He can see Jarvis is very unhappy, and others such as Steve, they also feel he went a bit too far."

"To repeat, Wanda is not going to alcoholism. Her own words and attitude have already made this matter very clear. Any adult with normal reason shouldn't continue to be aggressive."

"Stark knows this but still wants to do it. This typical compulsive behavior is just like what I said, it is his method used to acquire a sense of security. And why does he feel he has no sense of security?"

At this time, a small picture-in-picture appeared in the bottom right corner of the screen, playing Stark's expression, but Schiller shook his head and said, "No, we don't look at this. Look at Pepper's expression a few seconds ago."

The lens perfectly captured the fleeting worried expression on Pepper's face, but it wasn't very strong. It seemed she was more worried about her physical condition than worrying about Wanda drinking.

"When we listen carefully to what Tony said, I know his words are a bit incoherent, but the main theme conveyed is very clear. He hopes Wanda won't put pressure on Pepper."

"Because he saw Pepper's expression. This is a bad expression, obviously conveying some negative emotion. Stark thinks Pepper has been negatively influenced, which makes him feel he has no sense of security."

"Obviously, from a rational point of view, he should be able to think that Pepper couldn't possibly have fear about being a mother just because Wanda drinks a bit of wine before going to bed, but he can't help thinking so. He finds it very difficult to get rid of this idea because this can make him acquire a sense of security."

"That's right, this is also a kind of compulsive behavior. A less common but real manifestation of OCD is extreme worry about others being harmed, or simply assuming others are being harmed."

"The target of the assumption is often people close to them. They can't help but think in their hearts that they are always suffering from various pressures and persecution, so as to acquire a sense of security."

"Why does people close to them being harmed make them acquire a sense of security? In fact, just like what Stark did, when he stands out with a protective posture, he will feel that he is sacrificing and paying. Protecting others will make them give birth to courage. Courage will significantly improve mental drive, and the improvement of mental power will make them feel comfortable and safe."

"This can also explain the mentality of many parents who dote on their children. They themselves are also a combination of anxiety disorder and OCD."

"Because there is no other way to acquire a sense of security, they choose to assume that the whole world wants to harm their children, so that they can stand out with an incomparably powerful protective posture to protect their children. This will give them incomparable powerful mental motivation, making them feel safe."

"Tony is also in this mentality now. In the past, Pepper always played the role of a mother to accommodate him. He couldn't imagine Pepper being a victim, and now Pepper is pregnant, just in the most fragile stage of her life, so he can use this as an excuse to imagine Pepper is suffering from various infringements."

"And as Pepper's fiancé, the father of her child, he should stand out with a powerful protective posture to help her drive away all harm. This provides him with very strong mental motivation, which helps him stabilize himself."

"When I left, I anticipated that there might be this situation, so at this time I made a phone call to him."

The phone ring rang abruptly. Stark obviously showed some impatience, but when he saw the name on the caller ID, he still answered the phone.

"Hello? Schiller?... How are you?" One could hear Stark's tone was still a bit stiff. Obviously, he couldn't adjust his emotions in such a short time.

But the next second, his expression brightened visibly, even showing a smile as if he couldn't help it.

"Alright, that's indeed the case. Good, that's it. See you tomorrow."

Steve felt a bit curious, so he asked, "Schiller's call? What's wrong?"

"Yes, he said considering Baker isn't very safe, he took him away before I and Pepper came back."

Others felt a bit surprised, not understanding how this one sentence coaxed Stark well, but everyone was tired after playing for a day, so they dispersed to their rooms to sleep.

Waking up early the next morning, Schiller came alone. Stark also got up very early. Seeing Wanda and Jarvis eating breakfast, he felt a bit embarrassed, but really couldn't put down his face to apologize.

Fortunately, no one cared about him, because everyone was used to him being startled. Wanda just glanced at him lightly, and Jarvis treated it as if nothing had happened.

This instead made Stark more embarrassed. He had to lean next to Schiller, take potato wedges from his plate to eat, and then asked, "How is Baker? You said you asked some news from him..."

"I took Baker back to the hotel and hypnotized him. When he recalled some details he couldn't recall when his emotions erupted, one of the details made me feel a bit interesting. Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course." Stark nodded, his gaze never moving away from Schiller, so Schiller said, "He mentioned that at the time, Robbins pretended to be Spider-Man and kidnapped him. Of course, at that time he didn't know Spider-Man wasn't Spider-Man. He thought Robbins was Spider-Man, so he scolded him a few times. Spider-Man also replied without pain or itch."

"But in the process of replying, they mentioned the Moon Base. This is where they had intersections due to work before, and even said several names of the Star Core Space Station project."

"If it was really Spider-Man who kidnapped him, it wouldn't be strange to say these things, but the problem is Spider-Man is likely Robbins. Robbins is just a thug in Brooklyn. How did he know?"

Stark thought for a moment and said, "Do you think someone leaked the secret? Considering this guy has invisibility, maybe he ran somewhere to eavesdrop on a few words..."

"Is such a confidential project really something that can be eavesdropped on casually?"

Stark fell into deep thought. Schiller continued, "In any case, the problem must be with Robbins. It's just that his person is missing now, which is a bit troublesome."

"Do you think we should find a way to catch him? Of course, we will catch him sooner or later, but do you think it's time now?"

Schiller obviously thought about it seriously before saying, "I think there's no need for the Avengers to assemble for such a small matter, but Robbins must be found. I will call S. H. I. E. L. D. and let them cast a wide net."

"Of course, there is also the S. W. O. R. D." Stark added, "After all, the person disappeared on their territory. If we don't tell them, in case something happens there in the future, it will be hard for us to explain clearly."

Schiller nodded and continued, "Baker is a bit better. Although he made trouble before, he didn't cause any casualties, and the property damage wasn't much. After all, he is a technical person..."

"Are you worried that Steve will find trouble with him? That old antique does often use justice and such sets of rhetoric to find trouble, but I think there's no need to be too harsh on that mass of sand..."

"Peter said he would handle this matter. What do you think?"

"He's not a child anymore. We should also believe him." Although Stark said so, he still looked up at the room. It happened that Peter had just come out of the room.

Peter also sat down to eat breakfast. Stark asked him, "What do you think of Baker? Do you think he will be a hidden danger?"

"No one is born a hidden danger." Peter said, "For such a long time before, Baker worked well in various bases, which shows that he has full capacity for civil conduct, not a lunatic who needs to be hospitalized."

"Although he was careless and planted himself this time, in the final analysis, he is also a victim. It's quite pitiful to be trapped in a swimming pool for so long. It's understandable to go crazy after coming out. Fortunately, he is not a bad person and didn't cause any loss."

"That's also because you stopped him in time." Schiller said, "If left alone, it would have caused a lot of trouble."

Peter paused and thought for a while before saying, "What does he think himself? Is he willing to be hospitalized for treatment?"

"I think this should listen to the opinions of professional doctors." Stark suddenly interrupted and said, "It should be judged by a doctor whether his current mental state needs treatment. Otherwise, even if he participates in work, it is possible to cause trouble."

"His situation is more complicated. If he wants to enter Arkham Asylum, he also needs me to be responsible for the diagnosis and treatment. But now I am on vacation. It doesn't make much sense to let him live in the asylum. However, letting him go home might also be dangerous. After all, Robbins is missing. In case he goes back to find him, he is not that guy's opponent."

"So what do you think? Doctor?"

"I want to ask Ms. Carter." Schiller looked upstairs and said, "Perhaps he can be sent back to New York first and let Nick arrange a place for him to live. This will be safer."

Several people agreed with this statement, and in the process of their communication, Wanda looked over here frequently. When the three stood up to go to the door to welcome Carter and Steve who returned from morning running, Wanda lowered her voice and said.

"Why is Stark so normal when he is with them? Why does he start going crazy when he meets us?"

Jarvis blinked as if he wanted to speak, but it seemed that Eddie who was filming opposite gave him a look, so he didn't say anything.

This question also triggered widespread speculation among the public. Of course, after all, Stark, Peter, and Schiller have a relatively good relationship, and he is just an acquaintance with Wanda, so it is normal to treat them differently.

But theoretically speaking, his relationship with Jarvis is also very good, so he shouldn't have such great malice toward Wanda. Why does he have to go crazy at Wanda?

And he went crazy at Wanda, not even caring that Jarvis and Pepper were present, but was coaxed well by Schiller in one sentence. What magic does this Dr. Schiller have?

Originally, the public's vision was focused on Schiller, and now they are even more curious. But soon, professionals stood up and said they discovered clues in the content of the documentary itself.

The reason Schiller can coax Stark well is, of course, because of his absolutely excellent professional quality.

"Didn't any of you discover it?" A woman who looked very intellectual pointed her finger at the scene of the three people communicating above her head, "Schiller used a lot of interrogative sentences when communicating with Stark..."
