[Ironman] Ch: 115 [A deal with Ghost]

[Morning]

The base buzzed like a hornet nest in motion.

Suits powered up. Drones zipped through corridors. Security bots were on full patrol. Tony hadn't slept more than three hours, but he was sharper than ever.

The Widows, each one personally scanned and cleared, stood in formation in the combat hall. Their suits shimmered in idle mode, white with deep crimson linings. Tony ...

[Ironman] Ch: 114 [Project: KSF]

AN: Didn't get time to edit it. So, it might be little rough. Let me know if you find any mistakes.

---

The Skrulls just stood in silence, staring at him.

Tony didn't waste any more time talking to them. He decided to use the power of the Mind Stone. A soft hum built in his skull as he reached inward, past muscle and bone, into the light buried in his forehead. The Mind St...

[Shazam] Ch: 13 [Downtown Smackdown]

Superman's body twitched as he climbed out of the fresh crater, smoke curling from his cape. His boots dragged through broken concrete as he stood upright, fists clenched, face tense. He barely had a second to breathe.

Then the scream hit.

A shrieking wall of sound roared across the plaza, shattering every window within three blocks. Superman's eyes squeezed shut. His knees buckled....

[Shazam] Ch: 12 [One problem after another]

AN: Writing this one after a long time. Too much work at the office. Anyway, I think this ch is slightly dull, maybe. I'll add a big fight scene in the next chapter.

---

Superman landed with barely a sound, the concrete beneath his boots cracking slightly from the force. John didn't turn around. He stayed near the bike, eyes fixed on the bomb.

"Sir," Superman said, his voice c...

[Ironman] Ch: 113 [Containment & Revelation]

[Late Night] [Tony’s Lab]

Tony stood in the center, wearing a plain black shirt, hands deep in the console as holographic scans rotated in front of him. He didn’t look tired, even though he hadn’t slept much since the return. His mind was sharper than ever.

Elena stood nearby, fully projected in her humanoid form. Her physical body was keeping an eye on the th...

[Ironman] Ch: 112 [Fire and Force Field]

The wind tore across the open terrain. Dust swirled behind two fast-moving shadows that streaked over the sun-baked ground.

Yelena was ahead by half a bike length, crouched low over the handlebars. Her matte-black machine hummed like a beast on a leash, suspension eating every bump in the uneven terrain like it wasn’t even there. The heat didn’t faze her. Neither did the roaring engin...

[Ironman] Ch: 111 [The evolution has begun]

[Morning – Quarantine Level, Starfire Base]

Ben woke up with a loud groan, one hand rubbing his face, the other pressing against something oddly hard and uneven.

He blinked.

Everyone was staring at him.

Tony, Sue, and Johnny were standing nearby. All with the same weird look: part surprise, part disbelief.

Johnny had a soda in hand and was clearl...

[Ironman] Ch: 110 [Back to Earth]

[Above Earth – Starfire Ship]

The Starfire blinked and stopped outside Earth. The FTL stopped, and the ship began to move again. The hull glowed faintly as it passed through the upper atmosphere, heat shielding in full effect. 

Inside the ship, the crew stood ready. All of them wore sealed suits for containment.

Tony stood at the front of the bridge. 2025-06-15 20:36:49 +0000 UTC View Post

[Ironman] Ch: 109 [Magneto's plan]

Yelena unleashed the Uni-Beam. A brilliant column of energy tore through the air, aimed straight at Magneto. Blink reacted instantly, her eyes flashing as she whipped her arm and opened a swirling portal in front of him. The beam vanished into the pink vortex and reappeared behind Natasha.

It struck her center mass.

The ice cracked under the blast, and smoke billowed in every direct...

[Ironman] Ch: 108 [Eat Shit... Metal Man]

Natasha stepped forward and aimed her arm at the ground. The gauntlet shifted, building a charge, the nanites around her wrist glowing a deep crimson.

“Let's see what's down there,” she said.

The pulse fired with a thundercrack. A focused beam of plasma drilled downward, vaporizing steel, ice, and concrete like paper. A column of steam and dust erupted as the beam carved a direc...

[Ironman] Ch: 107 [Time to Hunt]

[Flashback] [A few months back]

Tony lounged back in a sun chair, black tank top, bare feet on the table, a plate of cold dumplings next to him. Across from him, Yelena sat cross-legged with a protein bar in one hand and a combat drone diagnostic pad in the other. She was half-listening, half-scrolling through widow squad assessments.

Tony was mid-rant, waving chopsticks as he talke...

[Ironman] Ch: 106 [Howard Stark. Sr.]

[INTERROGATION CHAMBER – STARFIRE BASE, SUBLEVEL 4]

The chamber was bright.

Ghost hung from an energy rig suspended above the floor. His limbs still severed, his body a grotesque fusion of man and failed machine. Stripped of his suit, he looked like something torn out of a failed experiment: scorched flesh webbed with circuitry, broken bones half-healed around imp...

[Ironman] Ch: 105 [Ghost]

[EARTH][Location: Unknown][Time: One day after Starfire launched for the Sun]

The wind screamed across a white desert, dragging clouds of ice across jagged formations of frozen earth. Buried beneath the surface was a facility long forgotten by the world.

But inside the walls of the deep chamber, there was no wind. No natural light or sound. Just the slow hum of deca...

[Ironman] Ch: 104 [Cosmic Storm]

[Exterior – Near the Wreckage of the Skrull Cruiser]

The sun blazed behind him like an endless godfire, but Tony flew straight toward the ship.

The Model 50 armor shimmered in high-spectrum silver, its surface constantly adjusting, nanite plates flexing, reconfiguring, reflecting the worst of the heat and radiation. Before him, the massive remains of the destroyed Skrull vessel ...

[Ironman] Ch: 103 [The Skrull]

Tony spun toward the main console, fingers flying across the control panel. A large holographic display lit up in front of them, projecting the live feed from the ship's exterior sensors.

The spacecraft appeared instantly. Dark green. Covered in bio-organic plating that shimmered against the solar radiation like living armor. It had no visible engines, just a faint pulse of emerald light ...

[Shazam] Ch: 11 [Make Him a Monster]

AN: Well, it took some time to write this chapter. Too many things are going on in here at the same time so, it was kinda hard, even for me lol. Anyway, hope you like it.

[FAWCETT CITY – NOON] [Downtown] 

The sun burned overhead, indifferent to the chaos below.

The black armored truck barreled through Midtown, sirens off, windows tinted. Bloodsport sat across ...

Poll result

1) Atomic Requiem: He can deconstruct any metal or synthetic compound into its base atoms and reweave it into a new material structure, like a living forge/lab.

2) Cosmic energy

----------

The clone and inventory can be made if MC can utilize the power of the Space Stone, which he already has.

Mirror body is kinda too OP. Let's hold it back for now.

[Ironman] Ch: 102 [The truth]

[Starfire – Research Deck | Day 6 in Solar Orbit | 2:17 AM Ship Time]

Inside the lab chamber, soft blue lights glowed from the containment fields. Monitors flickering with real-time biometrics, wave-form graphs, and molecular simulations. Tubes of plasma and radiation-exposed samples floated in magnetic suspension.

At the center of it all, Tony stood still, face p...

[Ironman] Ch: 101 [Sun & Radiation]

The second FTL jump ended with a ripple through space. The ship stopped close to Mercury, the engines humming softly as they stabilized its orientation.

The cockpit lights adjusted instantly to compensate for the overwhelming brilliance outside. Every window darkened with high-reactive tint layers, shifting automatically to protect the crew's eyes. Even then, the light pouring from the st...

[Ironman] Ch: 100 [Ignition]

[Command room]

Tony stood at the edge of the room, arms folded, watching diagnostics scroll by. His jacket was half unzipped, collar loose, hair still damp from a shower he took a few minutes ago. He hadn’t left the command deck since the final systems check.

Behind him, Howard paced slowly, holding a glass of water in one hand and a tablet in the other. “You’re still reviewin...

[BLACK SITE: LEVEL 7 – SECURE MILITARY INTERROGATION FACILITY]
[LOCATION: CLASSIFIED]

It was a regular interrogation cell. A single metal table sat between them. Chains rattled as Joker adjusted in his seat, arms cuffed, legs shackled to the floor. The lights buzzed overhead with a hum that could drive a sane man mad or comfort the insane.

Across from him sat Amanda Waller. Tha...

[Shazam] Ch: 9 [Life with Harley Quinn]

[1 Week Later – Fawcett City – John Mason’s Apartment]

The sun filtered weakly through a cracked window in John’s apartment, doing its best to brighten a place that had made peace with the shadows. Dust floated lazily through the air. The coffee pot burbled like it was trying to die with dignity. Somewhere under the couch, a sock was actively growing mold.

And in the middle ...

Ironman Quick POLL

[Ironman] Ch: 99 [48 hours before the launch]

[Time: 6:21 AM – 1 Month After First Moon Landing]

The sun hadn’t fully risen yet, but inside the underground Starfire hangar, the temperature was already climbing.

The ship stood suspended on its elevated service cradle. Panels were open across its surface, coolant lines hanging, reactor shielding exposed, nanite reinforcers crawling slowly over the hull, rew...

[Ironman] Ch: 98 [Starfire: The Trial Launch]

[Location: Sahara Desert – Stark Base]
[Time: 9:00 AM]

Hot sun, a little heatwave, and the usual sand... At the center of the massive base stood the Starfire ship, finally complete.

It looked like a giant blade pointed toward the sky. The front was curved and sharp, with panels across the body that seemed to pulse with energy. The extra coating...

[Shazam] Ch: 8 [Chaos in a Robe]

John walked to the alley, the rain soaking his hoodie and darkening the cement beneath his boots. He stopped just short of the dumpster, looking down at the soggy figure sitting with her back against the brick wall. Harley had her arms wrapped around her knees like a sad clown at the end of a party. Her pigtails drooped. Her makeup looked like a watercolor crime scene.

"You've been follow...

[Ironman] Ch: 96 [Science, bonds & a new team]

The plaza buzzed with energy. Booths stretched in all directions, showcasing everything from levitating wheelchairs to personal water filtration pods that fit in your pocket. Drone couriers zipped through the air delivering coffee, while children tested magnetic shoes that let them walk up short walls under supervision. Scientists, inventors, students, and guests swarmed every corner, talking, ...

[Shazam] Ch: 7 [Pizza, bullets & Harley Quinn]

AN: Slightly big chapter. Approx. 3k words.

---

John stood frozen in the hallway, hands still half-raised, while Harley Quinn leaned against the doorway like she was in the middle of hosting a tea party instead of a murder scene. The pizza bag lay forgotten at his feet. The man in purple kept groaning on the floor, dragging his shredded knees across the cheap tile. His cries were ba...
