Chương 1: Chapter 1: Happy Birthday Tony
[Third Person's PoV]
A woman with long brown hair was seen walking down a long corridor with doors on either side. When she reached the end of the corridor, she ended up in front of a large white door, bigger than the ones she had passed. The door was covered in stickers with caution signs and images related to science.
"Tony," the woman called, knocking on the door, "Tony dear, it's time to wake up."
Hearing no response, the woman sighed before turning the doorknob. When she entered the room, she let out another large sigh. There was a little boy, about four years old, sprawled on the bed, buried in books.
She couldn't help but massage her forehead at the sight, an image that had become all too common. She remembered the first time she saw it; she thought her baby had died.
She went towards the large bed and started brushing all the books away. There was now a single large book over the boy's face as he snored soundly.
The woman moved the book away from his face and shook the boy awake. "Tony, wake up, it's time to wash up and come down for breakfast."
The boy stirred awake and rubbed his eyes. "Morning, Mom. I'll be down in a minute."
The mother nodded and began to leave, but as she was leaving, she turned towards Tony. "Be sure to clean everything up as well."
She saw how Tony put a thumbs up as he was stretching, and so she finally left. Tony let out a sigh as he laid back down on the bed and looked towards the high ceiling.
'It's been four years since I reincarnated as Anthony Stark in this crazy world,' he thought to himself before hearing the door open once more.
"Oh, and Tony… Happy birthday," the mother said with a large smile.
"Thanks, Mom," Tony smiled back as the mother closed the door.
'Even my new parents' names are the same as they were for the original Tony Stark. My mother's name is Maria Stark, while my father's is Howard Stark.'
Tony got up and walked towards the nearest bathroom. When he entered, he saw maids in their regular uniforms waiting for him with towels in hand.
When he saw them, he couldn't help but sigh. "Do you guys stay in here and wait for me to come in every day?"
One of the maids, who had blue hair with pink tips, giggled. "Of course not, young master. We're just already aware of your morning routine."
Tony just smiled as he spread his arms and closed his eyes. "Come on, beautiful maids. Take me!"
He heard them snickering as they took off his clothes before bringing him to the bath and bathing him.
At first, he was a bit apprehensive when they bathed him, but after a while, he got used to it.
"Ms. Lacy, bubbles please," Tony asked the maid with the blue hair.
"Certainly, young master," the maid said before putting her hand on the water. Bubbles started to escape from her hands.
"Are you excited, young master?" the maid asked as bubbles began to fill the bath.
"For what? If you're talking about my birthday, not really, since that means I'll have to go to school."
The maid scoffed playfully at his answer. "No, young master, I'm talking about getting your quirk. You are now four years old, which means your quirk will develop during this time."
"Oh, that. Eh, I don't have big expectations for it," Tony shrugged his shoulders.
The maid was washing his hair as Tony started playing with the bubbles. Afterwards, Tony was pulled out of the bath and dried off. He was then carried back to his room wrapped in a towel.
'You know, at first this was really embarrassing, but now that I've gotten used to it, I don't think I can live without it. I'm living like a king in this world!' Tony happily thought.
When Tony was brought to his room, they started dressing him in a cute little suit with a red bow tie, and his hair was combed back.
'Before my reincarnation, I was just a poor, penniless orphan doing whatever I could to survive. Now that I've had a taste of what wealth truly is, I don't want to give it up,' Tony thought to himself as he instructed the maids to put all of his books back in their library.
When he walked downstairs, he found his father, Howard Stark, with his mother, Maria Stark, waiting for him with a large cake and banners celebrating his birthday.
Howard smirked upon seeing Tony. "Look who it is if it isn't the birthday boy."
"Father dearest," Tony said in a teasing tone.
They all sat down and began to eat a hearty meal, with big smiles on everyone's faces.
"So Tony, tell me, what do you want?" Howard asked as he cleaned his mouth with a napkin.
"You know what I want, Dad," Tony replied.
"You truly want to go and explore Stark Industries that badly, huh?" Howard sighed.
"I've said it once and I'll say it again… Please, please, please, please, please," Tony kept repeating with his hands in a praying position.
"Why do you even want to go there in the first place?" Howard asked.
"Of course, for the Arc Reactor, why else?" Tony said with an excited glint in his eyes.
Howard smiled at Tony's excitement. "Very well, Tony, you win. We'll go to Stark Industries."
"Yes!" Tony shouted and punched the air.
Howard smiled. "Just getting to explore Stark Industries itself doesn't feel like a birthday present on its own, so you can ask for one more thing."
"Really?" Tony asked in surprise.
Howard responded with a nod.
"Then I want my own personal lab."
"For what?" Howard asked in confusion.
"To experiment with things, obviously."
Howard had a straight face as he said, "I'm not letting a four-year-old be in a lab unsupervised."
"You can have Jarvis supervise me if you want."
"I'm not having my butler supervise you 24/7, Tony, just so you can play around—"
"Play around? Who said I was going to be playing around? I need to start getting hands-on with inventions so I can have trials and errors. Otherwise, I can never hope to improve or bring forth ideas I have in my head," Tony said in a serious tone.
Jarvis, who was standing behind Howard with his hands behind his back, smiled at Tony. "I don't mind supervising the young master. In fact, I believe he may have a point. In order to learn, one must get their hands messy," he said as he winked at Tony.
Howard looked at Tony, who was staring at him with expectation, and then at Jarvis. "Very well, but if anything happens to the boy, Jarvis, be prepared to face the consequences."
Jarvis put a hand over his heart. "I'll watch him like a hawk. You have nothing to worry about."
Howard nodded before they all cut the cake and ate a piece of it.
"Jarvis, please go and prepare the car," Howard instructed.
Jarvis nodded and went on his way. Howard then turned towards Tony. "Do you have everything you need, Tony?"
Tony excitedly nodded.
Howard once again cleaned his mouth with a napkin as he stood up. "Very well, come on, let's go."
Maria soon followed and took Tony's hand as she led him to where Jarvis was parked with the car.
Chương 2: Chapter 2: Exploring Stark Industries
[Third Person's PoV]
Tony stared out the window of the car and in the far distance, he saw the towering building of Stark Industries.
Tony was sitting next to his mother in the limo while his father sat in front of them. "So, tell me Tony, do you remember what Stark Industries does?"
Tony nodded his head. "It's a weapon manufacturer for heroes, but they don't only build weapons. They build costumes and other advanced gadgets for heroes. It's one of the leading manufacturers in the world, extending to multiple states, with the largest one, or in other words, the main headquarters, being here in the United States."
Howard smiled as he nodded. "Yes, our company helps heroes all around the world with its technology, keeping the peace and helping out those in need."
Howard then reached over and started to pat Tony's head. "And one of these days, you'll be the one to lead it. Who knows, you might even make it better."
Tony only nodded as he kept looking out towards the building as it kept getting closer.
They soon arrived, and as they did, Jarvis came and opened the door for them. "Thanks, Jarvis," Tony said as he looked around.
He saw people in costumes coming and going in and out of the main entrance. Some weren't even human—one had the body and head of a bull missing a horn, and another had the head of a Rubik's Cube.
A man and a woman wearing black then appeared behind them. They had the typical bodyguard outfits with glasses and earpieces, their faces remaining stoic. The woman had short blonde curly hair, while the man had the horns of a ram curling downwards.
"So, we have bodyguards... That is so sick," Tony said, looking at the two of them before winking at the female one, who looked at him weirdly.
"Yes, yes we do. Most heroes in the world depend on us to provide them with the equipment they need, so we come onto the radar of a lot of villains because of it."
Tony nodded, and thus started his tour of Stark Industries.
He saw many people in lab coats talking among themselves, showing tablets to one another as they discussed the information presented to them.
Howard showed Tony where people tested weapons on costumes, making some of them bulletproof and some even fireproof.
He then showed him where the weapons were made and tested. Tony saw them testing a laser that burned through layer after layer of metal.
They also constructed vehicles and other machines. By the end of it, Tony was tired of walking around so much.
When they were in the elevator, Howard smiled down at Tony. "And now for the thing you've been waiting for most."
Howard took out some keys and inserted them into the elevator panel, unlocking a brand-new floor.
As he did, they started going down past the lobby, further underground.
The elevator door then opened, revealing scientists working around a large machine in the middle of the room.
The machine was a wide cylinder shape with clear glass, providing a direct view of what was inside.
A blue blur was going in circles, building up energy that was feeding the entire building.
"So that's the Arc Reactor," Tony said in awe.
"It seems you are really fascinated by this, Tony," Howard said with a smile.
Tony nodded as they walked forward. "Why is it so large?"
Howard let out a sigh. "A good question, Tony, a very good question. I've tried to miniaturize the Arc Reactor before, but it has always ended in failure."
"I'm going to do it," Tony said, his hand unconsciously gripping his mother's hand.
Howard looked at Tony in surprise and amusement but then saw his serious expression and how his eyes never left the Arc Reactor.
Instead of being amused, Howard smiled, giving Tony a nod of approval. He ruffled his hair. "If I can't accomplish it, then it is your job to finish it. The Arc Reactor is and will be our greatest legacy."
"You are smart, Tony, smarter than I was at your age. For crying out loud, you're four years old, and instead of playing with toys, you spend your days studying. So if anyone can do it, it's you."
Howard then went on to explain how the Arc Reactor worked. "The Arc Reactor operates on the principle of clean and virtually limitless energy production. At its core, it's a fusion reactor, similar to the sun but on a much smaller scale. The blue blur you see is plasma, a state of matter where gases are superheated to the point where atoms split apart into ions and electrons."
"This plasma is contained within a magnetic field, spinning rapidly to generate enormous amounts of energy. The glass cylinder allows us to observe the plasma, ensuring everything functions correctly. The energy created is then harnessed through a series of electromagnetic coils, which convert the energy into electricity that powers the entire building. The blue glow is actually the light emitted by the plasma and the energy it releases."
The scientists and bodyguards looked at Howard oddly as they saw him explaining it to a four-year-old boy, who nodded along as if he understood.
Howard then started to introduce everyone to Tony, who was still looking at the Arc Reactor with a fiery intensity. He gave half-hearted hellos and greetings, not paying attention to their names.
After everything was set and done, they started to leave.
"So, honey, did you have fun?" Maria asked, holding his hand.
Tony nodded. "It was all so interesting. It's got me motivated to start inventing things on my own."
Maria giggled as she ruffled his hair. Tony then looked at his father. "So, old man, how long will it take for you to make me my lab?"
Howard pondered the question. "At most, a week."
Hearing this, Tony released a sigh. "An entire week? Do you even love me?" he exaggerated.
"It usually takes a month, you know. We can make it that long if you want to complain."
"You know what, a week sounds so reasonable. I know I'm your favorite, Dad, but you don't have to spoil me so," Tony said, whistling to the side.
Maria covered her mouth and let out a chuckle, while Howard shook his head in amusement.
Howard then turned to Maria. "You can take him home now. Now that I'm here, I'll take care of a few things before heading home."
Maria nodded as the two kissed before going their separate ways. They arrived back at the limo, and Maria instructed Jarvis to drive them home since her husband still had work to do.
As the drive went on, Tony started to get tired from all the walking and exploring he did, so he proceeded to fall asleep on his mother's lap.
"Jarvis, drive slowly. Tony just fell asleep. Let's let him rest for a while," Maria said, moving Tony's hair from his face.
The limo then slowed down as Tony went into a deep sleep.
