章 12: Mentoring Peter

Tony was going towards his lab when suddenly he saw a flying man with huge metallic wings. He immediately knew it was Vulture, the main villain in Spiderman's origin story. His loose shirt and pant immediately turned liquid while he disappeared from his lab.

Peter was fighting with Toomes, who was in his Vulture suit, who then throws Peter into a lake. Peter gets strangled in his own parachute just like in the movies but suddenly he is pulled into the air while he loses all controls of his suit.

"Mr. Stark!" Shouted Peter as he saw Tony, in his signature black suit and pink goggles, intercepting Vulture's claw with his bare hands!

"You should be more careful, kid." Said Tony as he suddenly jerked at the Vulture's claw and slapped him down hard on the desolate road.

"Adrian Toomes, Former owner of a salvage company, killed over 18 people personally and almost Ten thousand through the weapons you sold." Continued Tony as he flicked his fingers and Vulture's armor got completely destroyed.

Peter was shocked at the number of people this guy had killed while Toomes himself was barely able to breathe as all the bones in his body seemed to have shattered from the earlier smack from Tony.

Peter was nervous and confused as to what to do now when suddenly Friday, his Suit's AI turned the suit's interface into red color and said

[Killer Mode]

Before he could even react to this sudden change of his suit, he heard Tony's voice

"This is a good time for you to become an Avenger, Kid."

Peter stared wide eyed at Stark and then at Toomes.

"Si..Sir...Isn't prison mo….." Peter wasn't even able to complete his sentence when he was reminded of the scene when Stark had killed Natasha. That time, Stark had told him that some people need to die to ensure the safety of the masses.

"How naïve can you still be? This guy is responsible for the deaths of Tens of thousands of people and you think he should be sent to prison where he can enjoy free food and shelter as he plans his next carnage?"

Tony's words were still ringing in Peter's head when his suit started to move on its own towards Toomes who was still lying down on the road. His eyes had partially bulged out while he was lying in his own puddle of blood.

Images started flashing in front of Peter's eyes as Starks words were playing over and over in his ears. He was moving towards Toomes in the suit and sat down beside him while his arms, under Tony's control lifted up and started to strangle Toomes.

Just before completely snapping Toomes's neck, Tony gave a mental command and everything stopped. The images and voices stopped playing in the suit as Peter regained his control over the suit and saw himself clutching the neck of Toomes. As soon as he saw it, his hands tightened the grip over Toomes's neck as a *snap* was heard in the air and he laid there, dead, with his eyes bulging out as Peter stayed over his body, motionless, In his suit.

Tony silently went up to Peter and put an arm around him while saying.

"You did good, Kid."

"Hey Peter! Where were you? I called you twice and yet you didn't answer!" Said Aunt May as Peter quickly went to his room where his best friend Ned was waiting for him. May got worried at Peter's behavior and wanted to talk to him but her feets immediately came to a halt when she saw Ned thrown out of Peter's room. She was extremely shocked her nephew's behavior.

Tony was driving through the city while enjoying the air breezing past his face when he heard a notification and continued to smile.

[Incoming Signal towards Scott Lang's radio frequency]

[Signal located]

"Hank Pym and her daughter Hope Pym….Doesn't Tony hook up with Hope after she gets divorced from Scott in the comics? Hmm…..meh. Jarvis, Intercept the signal. They weren't connected to internet so you were not able to infiltrate, right? Use this signal and get in their system. Get all their research and fry their systems, machines, and their labs. Empty their bank accounts and freeze their properties too. If they can still rise after all this, then maybe I'll give them a little attention. Also send the Vibranium bot to kill that Ghost girl. I don't want any loose ends going through my building's walls."

[Assassination of Ava Starr, alias Ghost with the vibranium nanobot. Confirmed]

[Using the signal to infiltrate, snatch and fry.]

Tony was back in his lab doing experiments with the research data that Jarvis stole from Hank Pym. He did quite a few experiments from this research while also working on improving it. The great thing about his Endo-Sym armor was that it was made up of the Constituent matter of a Symbiot and could be easily manipulated to add any kind of upgrade.

After much experiments, he was able to produce Pym particles from his Endo-Sym armor and successfully upgraded the suit to increase or decrease in size at will.

"Well, That's one thing off the list of thousands. Now, I can finally-"

Suddenly a notification came in his mind with which he snapped his fingers and many things from his lab submerged in ground. His eyes flashed up with red light, displaying his extreme anger before immediately returning to normal. Instantly, out of nowhere, T'Challa appeared in his lab with an unconscious Magneto on his shoulder.

Bast doesn't help T'Challa with teleportation until quite late into the comics and he never does it in the movies but due to Tony fucking up the timeline, it looks like Bast decided to help T'Challa in his fight with Magneto and then directly teleported him in his lab.

'This fucking cat!' Was the only thing in Tony's mind. Tony never liked anyone invading his privacy, not in his previous life and certainly not in this. He had quite a lot of secrets and it made the Psychopath extremely angry at Bast who didn't honor his privacy. It seemed like he made a decision to make something to deal with Bast as T'Challa threw Magneto's body aside, removed his helmet and came in front of Tony to hug him.

Tony smiled and hugged back as he greeted his warrior brother from Wakanda.

"How are you Brother" Asked T'Challa

"Good Bro, How about you? And Where the hell did you even come from?"

"ahahaha….This is God Panther's ability. He teleported me here directly."

"Oh? Interesting….Arre, You father's condition is stable now. He should wake up by tomorrow noon."

"Really! Thanks brother."

T'Challa and Tony had some talk about Wakanda and his uncle coveting the throne. He also saw his father and seeing that his face looked ten years younger and all injuries healed as if they were never there, he was astonished.

"Used some Super-Soldier serum. He now has advanced strength,, speed, regeneration and more while his aging has slowed down."

"Is this Captain America's serum?" Asked T'Challa with a complicated expression.

"Yes, It is the serum of Winter Soldier. I extracted it from a Soviet Hydra Base." Replied Tony.

Actually, It was all bullshit. The serum he gave to T'Chaka was something different but he's not gonna tell that to T'Challa.

T'Challa on the other hand was extremely thankful and didn't know what to say.

"It's okay brother. Once you guys saved my life and helped me. Now it's my turn to return the favor."

Tony then went on to tell him about Ulysses, Killmonger and others. T'Challa was enraged to know about all of it.

"You should come to Wakanda, Tony. I don't think you have anything to do here in New York anyways." Said T'Challa as he was about to leave from Tony's lab.

Listening to T'Challa say that he didn't had anything to do, he chuckled as he thought all the million things that he needed to do and replied while smiling

"Of Course. I will come to Wakanda next week with your father. Don't worry."

Then they said their goodbyes as Bast teleported T'Challa straight to the Wakandan throne room.

"Jarvis! Extract Magneto's memories."

[Sir, The subject will die and Memories will be fragmented. We still can't fully control the Mind Stone.]

"I don't care! He is just a test subject. And Even fragmented memories of his can give me many of Xavier's secrets."

[Affirmative. Awaiting Authorization to use The Infinity Stone, The Mind Stone]

"Permission Granted"

[Authorization Confirmed]

'If I could find the digital copy of Ultron, I'll be able to understand the structure of Mind Stone. I can't risk creating an Ultron from scratch though. Looks like I need to find Ultron. He obviously escaped, No way an intelligent and self-aware AI like him would not keep an offline copy somewhere before fighting off the Avengers.' Thought Tony as he saw Magneto's body lift up on a table and the Mind Stone, which was at some point on Vision's head was now shining over the table in a magnetic confinement.
