Capítulo 40: Press conference
"Well Mr. Stark you should go to address the press conference" John continued. "Just call me Tony from next time. I owe you a life kid" Tony replied.
"Sure Tony." Tony and Obadiah then went to the podium for the press conference. Obadiah just said a greeting and thanked John along the way. Pepper too followed Tony and thanked John for saving Tony even though she didn't know how he saved Tony but she was grateful nonetheless.
As Tony came to the stage he sat down and said " Hey would it be alright if everyone sat down? That way you can see me and I can see you" All sat down and even Obadiah joined him and sat down beside.
From a corner Coulson approached Pepper and said " Hello, Miss Potts, can I have some moments with you?"
"UMM. I don't know anything. You can ask Tony there who is on the stage" she replied
"I am not a reporter miss Potts. I am special agent Phil Coulson of SHIELD. I am here to debrief Mr. Stark on what happened over in Afghanistan" Coulson said.
"We have already been contacted by the DOD, FBI, CIA.. We have already said that we don't know anything"
Before Coulson could reply her they heard a voice saying
"It's fine Coulson. You will get your answers soon. He will be joining too. You really took my advice. Didn't I give you a nice abbreviation? I should get the naming rights."
"Umm hello John. I was going to ask you too about this. Is he coming? " Coulson said as he saw John beside him.
"Mr. Jameson you know this agent? That's great. He can ask you about what happened. I am curious too about what happened out there" Pepper said
"Please miss Potts.. Call me John. Actually I too don't really know what happened out there. 'He' will come soon. You can go and tell Nick that he will contact soon" John said. After listening to this Coulson left
"I never got to say goodbye to Dad. There are questions that I would have asked him. I would have asked him how he felt about what the company did. If he was conflicted, if he had any doubts." Tony said. " I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them. I have become part of the system which has zero accountability."
"What happened over there?" asked one reporter
"I had my eyes open. I came to realize that I have more to offer to this world then making things blow up. That is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing divisions of Stark International until such a time I can decide the future of the company" Tony gave the announcement while standing up and it sent the reporters in a frenzy.
Obadiah stopped Tony from saying anything more and said "What we should take away from this is that Tony's back"
After Tony came out he saw Pepper and John and went towards them. Obadiah joined him with a sullen face.
"Well that went well. What do you think the over-under on the stock drop is gonna be tomorrow?"
"Well approximately 40 points" Tony replied.
"That's a minimum" John said this time
"Well the news papers will be very happy to see this new development and make a headline saying you have won in this supposed war between us." Tony said to John with a laugh.
"Well then I better start buying all the stocks that I can from tomorrow. I have great faith in you Tony" John replied. This surprised all of them as they didn't expect John to buy the stocks after it falls through that would be a loss, of course if the company's stocks rises again in future then it would be a different ball game.
Tony just smiled at his words and didn't say anything and took them to the big arc reactor that was built. Obadiah wanted to see the small arc reactor as he already knew from beginning. John and Pepper also saw it after he opened his buttons. Pepper and John both gave a serious look to it. Even though John already knew the whole story but it still surprised him when he saw the arc reactor up close.
"Ok. John come with me. We need to talk." Tony said and he went to his car. John and Pepper joined him. Obadiah went on his own way as he has to handle the storm that was approaching for the company.
They reached Tony's famous home in Malibu and entered through the gate.
"I have got to say Tony, I envy your big home, it looks stunning" John said with envy.
"Well you are ok to move here if you want. I don't have anyone other than myself here." Tony said without much giving a thought.
Suddenly a voice said "Welcome back sir."
Tony didn't reply but John said "Hello Jarvis. It's nice to meet you"

Capítulo 41: The meeting of bigwigs
"It's nice to me you too Mr. John Jameson. How do you know me? There has been no such information in my database of us meeting" Jarvis said with a monotonic voice
Tony looked at him with surprise too. "I know a lot Jarvis. And you too Tony. I know your past, your present and future." John said. Pepper too looked to him weirdly.
"My future? Is that why you warned me to be safe in Afghanistan? Why did you not inform me from before?" Tony asked seriously
"Tony I don't want to influence too much of your destiny and this journey was necessary for you. Didn't you get to see the horrors of your own creation" John said
Before Tony could reply they saw a luxurious car coming towards them through the gate. The gate mechanism didn't stop the intrusion surprisingly.
"Sir, I couldn't stop his intrusion. He disabled the gate's mechanism" Jarvis added. Tony heard it but he didn't say anything as he had a hunch of who the person was. After the car stopped a handsome tall man with black hair came out. He looked lean and had muscles in all the right places and that was visible even though he wore a suit.
"How are you holding up Tony ? You should replace that thing in your chest. It's not working in full efficiency. Hello John. Its nice to see you again. I like the new home you arranged. It's spacious. Thank you. That trip was fulfilling. Got to see the scum of this world too" the man said after coming out of his Mercedes in a deep voice.
"You must be Bruce. Thank you for saving me there" Tony said after realization
"You would have saved yourself anyways. That suit would have kept you alive." Bruce said. "Hello miss Potts. You must be confused. I am Bruce Wayne. It must be hard to handle a guy like Tony." he added while greeting Pepper.
"Hello, I am sorry I don't recognize you" she replied with more confusion.
"Pepper this is Bruce Wayne. You know him by other name. The batman. You remember the movie right? He is that Bruce Wayne." Tony said to pepper.
"What? You are batman? How is that possible? Batman is just a movie? I remember the movie. There is no Gotham city here." Pepper said. Actually Tony had the same doubts but he didn't get to ask. If batman was a real person then why will John make movies. Because according to what he understood Batman's superhero avatar is based on stealth. Making a movie on him will just expose him.
"Well that's what I wanted to say. We don't belong to this universe. Rather to a different parallel universe. Due to unknown reasons we traveled to this earth. And John has the powers to identify beforehand who will come to this world. He makes the movies because so that the people who came or will travel in the future can approach him and he can make the traveler understand their situations." Bruce said
"You mean you don't belong to this earth. So the theory of parallel universe is real. This is unbelievable. Wait by your words you mean there are other people who have traveled before? Who are they? The transformers? And you mean other travelers will also come?" Tony said
"Yes some have traveled. Bumblebee has already arrived. He is my car. Others from Cybertron haven't come. I am not sure if they will. I just dreamed of their story. Others too have arrived and I have arranged for them accordingly. The other party was the one who rescued Yinsen. Don't worry Yinsen is fine. They are the best in medical" John interjected. Tony was shocked inside.
"So Yinsen is fine. That's good, I hope to see him soon, the big liar" Tony smiled as he said that and then suddenly asked excitedly. "Can I see Bumblebee?"
"Sure, but he is in New York. You will have to go there to see him" replied John.
"So Tony I guess you will work on your suit now. Do you need help?" Bruce asked Tony. Tony was silent for a few seconds and then after thinking of all the horrors he saw in his captivity. He wanted to do something about it.
"Can you help me? I am not judging you but your suit and my suit are totally different." Tony said with a hint of pride because he felt that batman's suit will not be worth mentioning in front of his metal suit.
"Who do you think made the plane that rescued you?" Bruce replied without any emotion.
"What you made that plane? Didn't Lucius make it?" Tony asked in a surprised way.
This time it was John who replied "Tony don't trust the movies that I make very much. Movies and real life story is different. Like you he is a genius from his world. His butler Alfred too is very knowledgeable. The movie that I made is another version of Batman in another universe. There are many similarities but there are differences too"
"I understand. Sure batman let me see how much of a genius you are. I will handle somethings before and in a few days we will start making the suit." Tony said
"Sure I will bring Alfred to help too. I too might get some inspiration for my bat suit" Bruce said.
