Chapter 25: Chapter 24 A scheme

People around the world heard rapid, distant bangs, barely catching a glimpse of a red blur streaking across the sky.

Some people who heard these bangs a distance away approaching them pulled out their phones, capturing the brief flash of red with excitement and confusion.

Later, they would slow down the footage, but all they could see was a blurred streak, leaving the event an unsolved mystery

David's heart raced as he soared across continents in seconds, marvelling at ancient ruins, dense jungles, and sprawling cities—all in a breath taking blur.

He saw places he had never seen before, witnessed sights most people would spend years travelling to see, yet he saw them all in one minute.

Everything was clear to his eyes, his brain was fast enough to process it all, it was like he was actually there witnessing it all happen with perfect clarity.

The sounds coming from these locations, added to his experience.

When the minute was over, David flew up into space, flying as fast he could.

He wanted to see just how long he could survive in space.

On the way, he took a extremely huge breath seemingly sucking away a lot of oxygen from the height he was at.

Within three minutes, David was already flying past the moon.

As he passed the moon, a shimmering dome caught his eye—a hidden city thriving on the lunar surface.

"The Inhumans, They exist!" David thought to himself As he began slowing down.

Inside, he saw towering structures, tiered like a pyramid, where the privileged lounged above, while others mined the moon's depths for resources

With the confirmation of the existence of the Inhumans David kept flying, he didn't stop as he was currently testing how long he could hold his breath.

He flew for about an hour before he turned back

He felt like he could go for many hours more but decided to head back.

He entered the Earth's atmosphere and took a large gasps of air.

When David was initially flying he had noticed, Dr. Drake in the Arctic around the location of Captain.

So David flew towards the Arctic, in less then 20 seconds he had already arrived over the Arctic.

David wondered if Drake had somehow managed to discover Steve in the ice.

Dr. Drake was currently sitting In a tent he had built, simply waiting for David.

Suddenly his sensors blared.

Standing off the couch Drake rushed to his computer as a video feed had opened up.

it showed a recording of Superman Floating over the Arctic

Drake watched quietly as he mentally prepared himself.

Superman was coming his way, his gamble had paid off but from now on, it was all on him.

Throwing on a coat and scarf to protect himself from the cold temperatures of the Arctic, Drake stepped out of his two story tent.

Climbing down the stairs he began walking a little distance away from it.

David at this time landed in front of Drake.

The icy wasteland stretched endlessly under David's feet, a brutal expanse where few dared to tread.

Yet all alone, Dr. Drake waited, his equipment buzzing in the background.

"Superman.... it's nice to meet you" Drake said seriously.

He felt extremely intimidated at this time.

Staring at Superman face to face a being who seemed completely uninjured after the bombardment he had suffered a few hours ago.

It was no doubt fair that he felt intimidated.

"Dr. Drake, a world-renowned biologist, it's a pleasure to meet you" David said with a smile.

"Well, I am here to talk about my research rocket that was crashing and you saved..." Drake was about to continue but David stopped him already knowing what Drake wanted.

"I am the one that took the research subject you were studying" David admitted.

"I want my research back," Drake replied, his voice barely concealing his tension. "I lost my team for this project and all data seemed to have been wiped out." Drake attempted to make his case but David was unbothered by what Drake had to say.

Drake was a Villain through and through, Ambition blinded him of the harm he was causing to people in the pursuit of his goals.

"so?" David asked.

"So, I only hope to get back only one of them for research.

I know there were four symbiotes in total.

Before the accident that took my researchers lives, they sent me a message. Informing me about this" Drake said

"Unfortunately, I only got one" David lied looking a little bored when he suddenly had an idea and a shrewd smile appeared in David's face.

With a thought the symbiote battle suit he had on began to pulse and move and began transforming into a normal suit.

Suddenly a tendril extended out of David's back and stabbed into the ice and pulling out a huge chunk of Ice.

Drake's eyes dazzled with stars as he watched this magical sight occur.

"I will give you a part of the symbiote I have and you can research it, only on the condition that you create more" David said.

"Create more?.." Drake asked confused.

"Yes" David said as he began explaining the basic method of creating more symbiotes, preaching the method shown within the movies to Drake.

"So?" David asked, questioning if Drake agrees.

"I agree!" Drake exclaimed.

"Are you seriously giving him that?" Venom's voice growled in David's head, dripping with disdain. "He's barely smart enough to handle his own tech" Venom said.

"More symbiotes mean more for you to devour," David replied mentally, a grin tugging at his lips. "Think of it as a feast waiting to happen, a free upgrade in powers"

"Ohh, I see" Venom started laughing loudly as it stared at Drake who was standing there like a valve person in Venoms eyes.

When Venom calmed down a little a question appeared in its mind.

"Why not do this yourself?"

"I am a fighter not a researcher Venom" David responded.

"A fighter, not a researcher? That's the worst excuse I've ever heard," Venom muttered feeling a little dissatisfied at not getting a proper answer, but David ignored him, already focused on Drake.

Extending his hand out A thick, black liquid oozed from David's suit, forming a writhing ball in his hand.

Drake's eyes sparkled, almost entranced, as the symbiote pulsed in David's palm

"Here it is take it" David said.

"Give me a minute" Drake said as he quickly began running towards his tent, probably to retrieve a container.

"Remember, Doctor," David said, voice low, "If you create more, I'll be back to collect them. Make sure you don't keep anything... interesting from me." David concluded causing a chill to go down Drake's spine

I am conflicted between picking the Inhumans from the TV show or a comic version where Black Bolt is God father level strength.

Chapter 26: Chapter 25 Gulmira and The President's decision

At this time a suit of armour was being on Tony.

Piece by piece, the armour assembled itself around him: the arms, legs, chest plate, and finally, the mask.

The suit's systems hummed to life, and the glow of the arc reactor intensified as Tony felt the power surging through him.

The repulsors activated, lifting him gently off the ground, and he floated in place, testing his control

The balcony doors slid open in front of him, revealing the vast ocean beyond.

Without hesitation, Tony leaned forward, shooting out into the open sky.

"Jarvis speed it up to Mach 1" Tony said as he flew over the ocean.

A sonic boom appeared as Tony flew.

A wide smile prominent on his face as his heart raced like he had flew foe the first time.

The map to Gulmira glowed on his heads-up display, and he adjusted his trajectory.

Meanwhile, David, who was en route to meet Tony, saw him take off. Watching the streak of red and gold rocket toward the desert, David muttered, "This is it… Tony's about to show himself to the world."

An era of chaos about to unfold onto the world, David thought to himself.

Keeping his distance, David followed Tony's path as he landed in a village in Gulmira, a small village off many others plagued by militants.

The terrorists turned their guns on Tony, the harsh sound of gunfire ripping through the air. But the bullets bounced harmlessly off his armour.

His repulsors aiming at these terrorist and blasting them away.

David watched as Tony made quick work of these terrorists, taking off he began to land in many different places, clearing the villages in minutes.

When the last of the terrorists fell, Tony looked to the sky, preparing to head home.

Once he flew to the sky and wanted to get back home, but suddenly two F-18 jets appeared in the distance, locking onto him.

Inside a military bases.

Inside a bustling military command center, tension filled the air. Officers manned their stations, eyes glued to the large screen displaying the jets' POV.

"Sir, we've identified an unidentified flying individual—appears to be moving at Mach 1," reported the commander in charge speaking into a red phone.

"Try to establish contact, if unsuccessfully, monitor from a distance but leave it alone" The voice on the other end came to the commander.

"Yes Mr. President" he replied and cut the call.

Stepping onto the center of the command room with many people on computers and a large screen in front of him showing a pov of the fighter jet trailing Tony.

Grabbing a walkie talky, the commander spoke.

"Establish contact" he said and got a confirmation by the pilots.

The commander stood there watching as the fighter attempted contact many time but Tony was not answering, so he picked up the walkie talky again.

"Maintain distance and observe" The commander said.

"Affirmative" The pilot responded.

Tony was worried as he kept glancing back, and his heart felt relieved when he saw the two F-18 turned away and stopped chasing him.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Tony began heading back to his mansion.

Meanwhile at a distance David appeared in front of the path of the two fighter jets blocking it from keeping an eye on Tony.

Whitehouse, America.

The president was on a video call after receiving the news of what happened.

"We have to have a meeting with Superman and try to come to an understanding" The President said.

Several cabinet officials and branch leaders of the government including Shield were present at this time as well as Alexander Pierce.

"If I may speak, that is highly risky" One of the cabinet members said.

"Yes, it is, that is why we will be meeting on a barren field, we will broadcast a favourable version of this meeting to the world"

"Sir, what about the leaders of the rest of the world, Superman is an International issue now" The secretary of state questioned.

"I have held a meeting with them, they do not wish to meet Superman, So I will be leading this, if I am in danger, I want you to launch the most powerful bomb we have to take Superman out" The president announced looking seriously at everybody.

Silence remained in the meeting filled with a large amount of people when he said this, some wanted to applaud the bravery shown, some called the president a fool while some thought about there own interests would be affected.

Collectively leading into simple silence.

About an hour of flying Tony finally arrived at his mansion.

Stepping onto his balcony, the glass door slid open in front of him.

"That was impressive" David said as he. Landed besides Tony causing him to get startled.

Pointing his repulser at David, he shot, the attack hit him but it didn't even leave a scratch on David.

"Where'd you come from" Tony said when he realized that it was David, as he lowered his arm, scowling.

"Classy" David muttered a little annoyed at getting shot at.

"I was coming to meet you when I saw you fly of in this suit and wanted to see what was happening" David said even though he had already had known what Tony was planning on doing last night, when he had visited and saw him completely concentrated on fixing and upgrading his armour.

"Oh... so your a stalker" Tony said with his arms crossed.

"Trust me, it'd be a shame if you got yourself killed." David said with a chuckle.

Tony scoffed at him.

Tony scoffed. "Those F-18s wouldn't have stood a chance against me."

David gave him a sceptical look, patting his shoulder as he walked inside. "Sure, Tony. Whatever you say."

David sat on the couch, relaxing.

"Would you like coffee, tea or perhaps some water" Tony said, sarcasm dripping form his tone as he stepped towards David who was sitting on his couch like he owned it.

"Coffee would be great, thanks," David smirked, watching Tony roll his eyes.

"You know my body has still not healed form our battle last time" Tony said as he sat on the couch, feeling the fatigue from repairing and upgrading his suit finally catching up to him.

Hey, I didn't force you to fight," David replied, leaning back. "Anyway, I came here for a reason. I need information on advanced A.I. systems."

Tony arched a brow. "What's this about?"

"It's connected to those people who tried to take me down. They have an extremely advanced A.I., and I need to stop it from escaping when it sees me and destroying the files I need" David said.

Tony leaned forward, interest piqued. "I might be able to help with that."

But David shook his head. "I've got this handled. But I need you to work on something else—some kind of recovery equipment. For Captain America."

"Captain America?" Tony blinked "What now?"

"Yes," David replied. "He's been frozen since World War II, still barely alive thanks to a Super Soldier Serum."

Tony's eyes widened as David explained, leaving him speechless.

Finally, Tony stood. "Alright, I'll see what I can do. Jarvis, download everything David might need onto a USB."
