Chapter 70: Thor's Arrival, Working with Tony
PUENTE ANTIGUO - NEW MEXICO
A bright rainbow light flittered through the night time sky as the surrounding atmosphere churned and whipped up into a massive wind storm. The light which was nanoseconds before in the sky touched down onto the hard pressed dirt of the New Mexico desert.
A van with all measure of instruments affixed to it sped up, attempting to 'chase' the astrological disturbance. An old man and two fairly tired looking women were in the front of said van, attempting to get a better sight at the strange phenomenon.
"It has to be an Einstein Rosen Bridge! It just has to be, these readings are way to similar to the original equation not to be!"
"Calm down Jane, it could just be a misreading from an atmospherical anomaly."
The old man with a checkered shirt and scraggly white scruff along his jawline yelled out above the wind as he grasped the wheel of the van, guiding it through the merciless winds. Thirty seconds passed when they witnessed the light land and the storm slowly starting to dissipate. Dust still caked the air and created a fog-like affect in the surrounding desert. The lights of the van made the vision even worse as the small beads of sand and dirt seemed to glimmer with the intensity of the van's lights.
"I really hope this can be covered by the science funds... It's going to be a pain to clean this."
Darcy commented loudly as she saw the dirt build up on the rear view mirrors. Jane simply waved off her words as she stared forwards at a device in her hands that looked like a 1970's sci-fi gadget.
"What happened to it? Were we too late?"
BANG
"Ahhh! We just hit someone!"

"So, what are you wanting from your new suit?"
I asked Tony as we stood next to a large projected hologram, many parts that made up his experimental Mark VI Iron Man Suit splayed out in the air, including an unfinished reactor that was toying with different elements as shown by the numerous notes displayed next to it.
"Well, me and Pepper both have a poisoning issue, the material we use to supply power for the arc reactor is highly toxic to the human body and has started to affect our health. I was wondering if you could help with that, with your magic."
'Hmm, if i do so he doesn't discover that more efficient energy source, however, if i aid him then he won't be as vulnerable to attacks left right and centre... Wait, what if i made the substance he finds give it to him and then upgrade his armour. That could work.'
As i was deep in thought and almost about to start creating the element that made his Arc reactor safe Tony continued.
"I have been working on a new power source based off of my father's work but there hasn't been any purely positive results yet."
'Okay, maybe I'll just help with other elements, i don't want to take away from the achievement.'
"How about i just help you with other features of the suit for now and give you some more time to ruminate on the problem, i feel that you are close to a cure for yourself and Pepper, you just need a little time."
"Sounds like a lot of poppycock to me but I'll take your suggestion, i didn't believe in angels either until i saw you so..."
"That is fine. Now, you wanted the anti-momentum spell i used yes?"
"Yep, it figures that you would have noticed last night."
"Mhm, okay well what other features would you like for your mobility in the suit?"
"If you could give the suit less energy consumption that would be highly appreciated. I run out of energy quickly if use too much at once in combat."
"Easily done, I'll just add an ambient mana rune, allowing your energy to be bolstered by mana making it much more efficient. Anything else?"
"I would say teleporting but i am not sure if that would consume all the energy within my suit at once or not."
"I could add a mana collector and place it on the larger teleportation rune, linking it with Jarvis so that he can, at command, teleport you to somewhere you can see. This would have a severe cool down though and it could possibly cause some sickness to you as runes of teleportation are instable when it comes to instant local transmissions, they are much better between another stabilized teleportation rune."
'I learnt that from experience... Worst trip to the toilet ever...'
His face lit up like a little kid getting his favourite toy for Christmas.
"I'll take it! That is all for the mobility side of things. Would you be willing to maybe make the material the suit is made out of magical?"
I pondered the question, some ideas coming to mind as i thought about numerous different metals from fantasy, fiction and science fiction from my past life. Mithril came to mind for its immensely magical protection against stabbing, considering what happened in infinity war i considered it heavily. There was Adamantium, which Wolverines claws were made out of, that would be good because it is very, very, hard to damage, only problem with it is that its easy to be controlled by certain beings, *Cough* Magneto.
The more divine metals also came to mind but quickly left it as they were probably way out of my matter creation ability and seemed tied to Asgard, so it would probably be detected. That was when i considered using Darksteel from Magic The Gathering and Rift Gold from The Magician Series. One was extraordinarily strong and wouldn't be inferior to adamantium (Darksteel) and the other allows access to dimensional energy as well as magic conductivity, effectively meaning that i can create more complex and numerous runes on the armour and inside it.
I focused my mind towards bringing these two metals into balance with each other, forming them into a super-magical alloy. My brain strained and i felt a draining of my energy as a small bead of metal eventually formed, followed by a gradual increase in size until it was equivalent in size to half my arm. I reached out and grabbed it as sweat poured down my forehead onto my dress. I wanted to call this alloy Dark Gold and it fit because it was literally a black mixed with gold.
(Sorry guys, i made an error with the metals i used here before, they didn't exist in Wheel of Time so i have just substituted them with actual metals from actual novels... Once again, sorry.)
[Really? That basic name?]
'Yes, you got a problem with it?'
[N-nope, love it, best name...]
'Aww, thanks li'l sis'
[FFS...]
"What is this?"
"It's an alloy, magical in nature, it has extreme resistance to slashing, piercing and bludgeoning but it also has mana amplifying capabilities and energy super conductivity within the weapons. Basically it will allow more mystical energies to be implanted onto the suit as well as boost your repulsor weapons and other energy-based weaponry, whilst reducing power consumption."
"Awesome, now, I'll need a lot more than that bar of alloy, plus I'll need some help shaping it..."
"No issues, it easily responds to magic so i can mould it to whatever shape you want."
"Let's get started then shall we, I'll work on the reactor later."

(Loki's Perspective)
'Did she just create matter from nothing? What is she?'
'I have heard of rune smiths on Asgard, Midgard having one isn't entirely a foreign concept to me, but creating matter out of thin air is an impossibility, as far as i know.'
'I will have to speak to father about this, maybe he can provide some insight... That is, when i can get back to Asgard.'
...
Emelia could sense Loki hanging around but decided to let him watch, maybe he would grow out of his teenage angst period a lot quicker. Tony was none the wiser.

Author Alex here, hoped you enjoyed the chapter, it was a bit more focused on the friendship between Tony and Emelia and how close they have gotten as friends despite the lack of time spent together (You know you just click with someone sometimes)... I promise more action in the future (😏).
As always, have a good day/night!
