[At this time, a woman slapped a document on the table and said, "Actually! That's me!" This person was the woman Tony bumped into outside the bar before, her name was Ellen Brandt.]
[The two of them took a look at the ID, and before Tony could react, the other party pressed him down on the table and handcuffed his hands behind his back.]
[What happened here attracted the attention of other people in the bar, and Tony immediately grabbed the dog tags on the table.]
[The sheriff, who was drinking, shouted, "What's going on? What happened?"]
["I'm arresting someone!" she said, throwing Tony to the ground and looking at the sheriff: "Are you the sheriff?"]
["Yes! I'm the sheriff! Who are you?" The sheriff put his hand on the gun and nodded.]
["Homeland Security! Any questions?" She held up her ID and showed it to the sheriff.]
["YES! There is a problem! You'd better explain the whole story clearly!" The sheriff obviously didn't believe her.]
["Well! I'm afraid you're not of sufficient rank! Sheriff!" While Ellen Brandt was distracted by the conversation with the sheriff, Tony signaled to Mrs. Davis.]
[She understood and slid the documents on the table under the table beside her.]
[The sheriff said noncommittally: "Yeah! Then go contact Nashville and ask them to promote me!"]
[Seeing that the sheriff was not backing down, she lost her patience and approached him and said, "Well, you know what? I had hoped to resolve this peacefully! But..."]
["This methods always work better!" As she spoke, the hand holding the ID began to emit red and yellow light. Tony couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene.]
[The sheriff didn't care about her words and ordered the police officer beside him: "Officer! Arrest this woman!"]
[Before he finished speaking, the other party attacked and pressed the red-hot ID card against the sheriff's face. The sheriff had no time to react and the pistol on his waist was taken away by her.]
[With two gunshots, the sheriff and the police officer were killed. While Ellen Brandt was dealing with the sheriff, Tony got up and slipped out of the bar.]
[He even had the leisure to tease her: "Hey! Hot girl! Wanna play? Just you and me! Let's go!"]
"Even in mortal danger, he can't help himself," Pepper sighed, shaking her head with a mix of exasperation and fondness.
"That's Tony for you," Rhodey agreed with a short laugh. "Always has to have the last word."
[He ran to the side, but after running a few steps he found Eric Savin getting out of the car, his skin also glowing.]
[Eric Savin held a cup of coffee in his hand, smiled at Tony, and threw the coffee in the cup away.]
[Tony turned and ran, Eric Savin picked up the gun and pointed it at his back. Just as he was about to shoot, a snowball hit him, causing him to tremble and miss the target.]
[He turned his head unhappily and looked at the guy who ruined his plan. It turned out to be Harley. After throwing the snowball, Harley quickly ran behind a pillar and secretly watched him.]
"Oh my God! Harley!" May Parker gasped, her hand flying to her mouth.
"Is the child going to be okay?" Wanda asked anxiously, her hands unconsciously beginning to glow red.
"Good job, kid! You're very brave!" Sam Wilson exclaimed, impressed by the young boy's courage.
The multiverse viewers expressed great admiration for Harry's bravery, but many were also deeply concerned about such a young child being involved in something so dangerous.
"Okay! This kid isn't that annoying anymore!" Tony admitted with a grudging smile, clearly impressed by the boy's quick thinking and courage.
Bruce Banner began rapidly analyzing the situation. "Ellen Brandt—she must be one of Killian's Extremis soldiers. We need to investigate her background, find out how she's connected to all this."
Everyone looked at him with understanding, appreciating Banner's methodical approach to the problem.
Meanwhile in another universe, the real Ellen Brandt, who was undercover in the Department of Homeland Security, watched the broadcast with growing concern. She had been exposed. When she first appeared on the mysterious screen, she hadn't worried much—she could easily fabricate an excuse.
But now, with her Extremis abilities revealed to everyone, she could no longer maintain her cover. Looking at the Homeland Security agents around her pointing guns in her direction, she took a deep breath and her whole body began to glow red...
[Tony hid behind a car. A man was lying there taking shelter. Tony looked at him and said jokingly, "Isn't it crazy?"]
["Yeah!" The man nodded subconsciously.]
[Tony glanced behind him, then turned his head and said to him, "Watch out!" Without waiting for him to react, he broke through the glass of the restaurant next to him and fell inside.]
[Ellen Brandt walked out of the bar, and the bar owner rushed out with a shotgun and tried to shoot her, but she knocked him to the ground and took away the shotgun.]
[Inside the store, Tony had just stood up when he found her aiming the shotgun at him. Tony reacted very quickly and immediately hid behind the counter, narrowly avoiding the shot.]
[Ellen Brandt didn't care when she saw that she didn't hit the target. She threw away the shotgun, took off her suit jacket to reveal her shirt, and walked towards the store.]
"She's not even trying to hide it anymore," Natasha observed coolly. "She's confident she can take him out."
"Without his armor, Tony's at a serious disadvantage," Steve added grimly.
[Tony saw her coming in through the hole made by the shotgun, so he went to the other side and looked up but didn't see anyone, so he turned his head to look the other way.]
[Unexpectedly, the other party had come to his side without him knowing, and the two of them were facing each other at a very close distance, which scared Tony.]
[Before Tony could react, she grabbed his collar and slammed him against the pillar, then elbowed him in the temple.]
[After being hit, Tony staggered to the side, but Ellen Brandt did not stop and grabbed his hand again and threw Tony over her shoulder.]
[Tony fell on the counter, and she leaned on the side, propping her head with her hands and looking at him with a smile on her face.]
[Tony quickly turned over to get away from her, but she predicted his move and turned over with him.]
[Before he could stand steady, she grabbed Tony's handcuffs, lifted his hands up, and slammed him against the pillar again.]
[She smiled at Tony again, then her skin began to glow, and she pressed her hands on Tony's face and began to burn him.]
[Tony felt the pain and used all his strength to pull her around in a circle, then stepped on the table and jumped to the counter opposite, and handcuffed her neck.]
[He strangled her with all his strength, but Ellen Brandt didn't care. Instead, she chuckled at him twice. As her body temperature rose rapidly, the handcuffs melted away in a few seconds.]
[Tony fell backwards because of the excessive force. After landing, he quickly threw off the handcuffs, and the inside of both handcuffs turned red.]
[Looking at her, Tony came up with an idea. He first knocked over the oil beside him and kicked it over, then kicked the handcuffs on the ground over as well.]
[The hot handcuffs met the oil and immediately ignited it, sealing the door.]
[Ellen Brandt looked at the blazing fire in front of her, but she didn't care and walked straight into the fire. She seemed to be enjoying it.]
