[Ironman] Ch: 95 [Stark Expo] [pt.2]

Tony stood tall under the lights, the weight of the moment shifting in his tone. This was the moment he had been waiting for. The first step toward a better future.

“I want to show you something,” he said. “And I’m not going to sugarcoat it. Some will love me, and some will curse me for this. But for a better future, it has to be done.”

The screen behind him darkened. Th...

[Hotel Room]

As soon as Tony and Natasha stepped into the hotel room, she pinned him against the door and kissed him hard. His brain short-circuited instantly, all thought fading into nothing but the taste of her cherry lipstick, her hands in his hair, her hips pressed against his.

Tony grabbed her butt chee...

[Fawcett City – Cafe] [11 AM – Year: 2025]

The rain poured hard outside. The streets were wet, the sky was gray, and people moved fast under umbrellas, trying to stay dry.

Inside a small corner cafe, it was quiet and warm. Soft music played from a speaker near the ceiling. The smell of coffee and bread filled the air. A few customers sat scattered across th...

[Ironman] Ch: 92 [A little cryo problem]

The night was calm. City lights flickered in the distance. Natasha held Tony’s hand, ready to pull him somewhere more private.

Then it happened.

A loud explosion shook the ground. The shockwave rattled glasses on nearby tables. Seconds later, a series of sharp gunshots echoed from a few blocks away. People started yelling. Some ducked. Others ran to the edge of the rooftop to look...

[Ironman] Ch: 91 [Sudden date with Natasha]

[Natasha’s Quarters] [Around 7 PM]

Natasha had just finished drying her hair, barefoot in a black tank top and joggers, scrolling through combat training schedules on her tablet while sipping tea. She was standing before her work desk.

The door opened with a soft hiss.

Before she could turn to see who it was, two strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind, pulling her ...

SHAZAM POLL

Not the final poll. You can suggest some new girls. Since I'm still in the drafting phase, it'd be easier to go slow and make it proper. [No Teen Titans characters]

You can choose any 2.

In the past, I've used Power Girl's character in multiple books. Now, it'll be Supergirl. Harley Quinn will be there. Like, where's the fun without a Super Harley?

[Ironman] Ch: 90 [Model 50 x MECHA]

[Location: Horizon Facility – Underground Lab Sector 7][Time: 2:41 AM – Two Days Later]

The lab lights activated as Tony stepped through the pressure-sealed doors, fresh from his return flight. He looked tired, hoodie halfway zipped, a protein bar in his hand, and a holo-slate already scrolling in front of his eyes.

The container sat at the center of the chamber...

[Shazam] Ch: 5 [God or a threat?]

AN: Words. 2.8k. Big chapter.

---

The Lazarus Pit hissed louder as Luna's body sank beneath the surface. The water shimmered, glowing with eerie light, casting shifting shadows across the stone chamber. Steam rose like smoke from a volcano. It stank of metal and rot, like old blood and burning air.

John knelt at the edge, fists clenched, eyes locked on the spot where she disap...

[Ironman] Ch: 89 [Proving worth]

[Location: Starfire Base – Sahara Desert, Cloaked Zone]

The boarding ramp lowered with a soft hiss, and a gust of warm desert air met them. But it wasn't the dry heat that made Susan stop at the top of the ramp.

It was the view.

Her breath caught.

What lay before her was so bizarre that for a moment she thought she was dreaming.

Walkways ran along transparent tun...

[Ironman] Ch: 88 [A big chance for Susan]

Tony leaned forward, resting his arms on the table, voice calm, and he had that signature smile.

"Why? You don't want to?"

Susan blinked, thrown slightly by the bluntness of the question.

Tony didn’t wait for her to answer. His eyes were steady, his voice quieter now.

"We're going to be the first in human history to get that close to the sun. Not just orbit it, not jus...

[Ironman] Ch: 87 [Tony & Susan Storm]

[Location: New York – Susan Storm’s Private Lab]
[Time: 11:41 AM – One Week Later]

The low hum of lab equipment filled the room. Screens cast a light blue glow over walls cluttered with sketches, samples, and half-drained coffee mugs. Susan Storm stood in the center of it all, sleeves rolled up, hands gloved, eyes focused.

She adjusted the ...

[SHAZAM] Ch: 4 [Into the Pit]

AN: I think I kinda went a little fast paced with this one.

===

The mountains were cold. Fog covered the surroundings. John flew through the clouds, the wind cutting around him like knives. He held Luna close, wrapped in his cape. She felt lighter than ever. Too light. He couldn't stop thinking about the hole in her forehead.

She didn't deserve this.

The GPS from Bruce b...

[Vol-3] [Ironman] Ch: 86 [Time Skip]

AN: Slightly fast paced. I've explained the necessary things that took place during the skip and kept it tight.

[Year: 1991 – 6 Months Later]

Six months had passed since the world changed.

After Tony Stark and the Shadow Legion exposed corruption and tore down the rotten core of global systems, chaos followed. Governments fell. Secrets came to ligh...

[Vol-2 End] [Ironman] Ch: 85 [What's next?]

[Location: Horizon Facility – Garden Terrace]

[Time: Next Morning: 8:20]

The sun hung low over the ocean, casting a soft orange glow across the white stone walkways of Horizon Island. The breeze carried the scent of salt and the faint buzz of drones tending to garden systems. Birds, real and artificial, moved through the trees in rhythmic calm.

Tony stopped for a moment, loo...

[Shazam] Ch: 3 [SHAZAM!]

John rushed in with the knife, wild and reckless, teeth clenched like he could bite fate in half. He aimed for the guard's face, knowing he'd never survive this but needing to leave a mark. Just one.

But Luna moved first.

While the guards watched John charge like a rabid dog, they forgot her. She slipped the metal shard from her boot and lunged low. The blade sliced across the back ...

[Shazam] Ch: 2 [Death either way]

Words: 2.7k.

A few months later. Or maybe more. Time didn't mean much anymore.

John Mason couldn't remember what day it was, or if days even existed in this place. There was only digging. Heat. Death. And the smell of sour sweat, blood, and burnt rock, always clinging to his nostrils like a brand.

He was thinner now. Hollow-cheeked. His ribs showed when he bent over...

[Ironman] Ch: 84 [Howard and Tony]

[A few hours later...]

Tony's eyes fluttered open. His head was pounding. He looked around and saw that he was in his room. Beside him, Howard was sitting on the armchair, and Natasha on his left. Both of them looked worried. Seeing him waking up, both of them sighed in relief.

"T-Tony..." Natasha stammered, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah. Just the usual. Forgot to take the med," To...

[Ironman] Ch: 83 [The Tesseract & Captain]

Tony gave Howard a sidelong glance, his usual smirk absent. “You’ve got a hundred questions, I know. I’ll explain everything. Later. Right now, time’s tight.”

Howard looked like he might argue, but after a beat, he nodded. “Fine. But don’t make me chase you down for answers.”

Tony clapped a hand on his father’s shoulder. “Wouldn’t dream of it. Keep Steve stable...

[Ironman] Ch: 82 [Out of Ice]

The floor shuddered as the hangar doors began to open, icy wind roaring in like a living thing. Snow whipped through the gap, blinding white against the cold steel of the plane’s interior.

Howard stood, the watch on his wrist pulsing once before the suit flowed over him like a second skin, metal wrapping tight around his frame with a hiss of locked joints and a low hum of energy.

...

[Ironman] Ch: 81 [No More Leashes]

[Location: SHIELD HQ – War Room, Washington D.C]

The silence following Howard’s question was long and loaded.

Fury stood up and walked to the glass wall, one hand in his coat pocket, the other resting on the wall. Outside, it was dark. He could see the blinking lights from the police cars and the rush of military vehicles outside. 

He didn’t turn to face them when h...

[Ironman] Ch: 80 [Gods and Ghosts]

[Meeting Room – Evening]

Tony sat at the end of the long table, leaning forward, elbows on the surface. He wore a dark shirt and jeans. Melina stood near the wall screen, her arms crossed. Yelena sat across from Tony, tapping her fingers on the table. Natasha sat beside him.

Melina was the first to speak. "I got what we needed from the assassin. The Mandarin is in France. Lyon. An...

Another book completed

Batman x Ironman is now completed. I have unlocked all the chapters for all tiers.

Now, I'll focus on Ironman starting tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. Had to finish this one.

[Batman x Ironman] Ch: 106 [Epilogue]

[Arctic Circle - Moments After Impact]

The blizzard howled across the frozen wasteland, snow swirling in angry gusts as the wind tore across the crater. But above it all, something faster than sound sliced through the sky.

Kara.

Her blonde hair whipped behind her like a comet's trail as she flew, eyes glowing faintly with concern. She had seen the burning obje...

[Batman x Ironman] Ch: 105 [The Watcher’s Gaze]

A few months later...

[First Person POV]

It began with a battle no mortal remembers. A war beyond memory. A sacrifice erased from time. But though the name is lost, the impact remains…

But the Gods have plans of their own. Such a sacrifice of three lifetimes, if forgotten, would sully the legacy of the man who gave his all to protect everyone. So, the Living Tribunal decided...

[Batman x Ironman] Ch: 104 [A Dawn Beyond Memory]

The Radion nukes detonated.

The entire dimension caved in on itself. The time loop shattered, but Bruce quickly used his Infinity power to recreate another time prison and teleport both far away from their present location.

The damage continued...

Planets vaporized. The sky screamed. Oceans of molten rock evaporated into dust. Darkseid roared as the Radion tore through his div...

[Ironman] Ch: 79 [Pain is a Language]

[Horizon Island – Command Deck] [4 days later]

The soft hum of servers filled the room, punctuated by the quiet clatter of keys. Screens glowed, illuminating Natasha's face. Her expression was calm and focused, and she was happy to be of help. While others were handling things outside, she was doing some hacking from the base.

Behind her, Hermes hovered silently in projection mode...

[Ironman] Ch: 78 [The Serum Scam]

Yelena didn’t wait.

She rushed forward, dropped her center of gravity, and slammed a punch right into Ross’s face. Well, she kinda held back. Tony wanted Ross alive after all. 

There was a wet crack.

His nose flattened like a kicked-in tent. His body shot backward, slammed against the metal wall with a loud clang, and left a human-shaped dent.

Ross groaned, grab...
