[Third Person's PoV]
Tony was flying over the ocean in his Mark 1 Iron Man armor. "WOOOOOOOOH!" he shouted, feeling freer than ever.
He glanced at his reflection in the water, but his speed parted the waves. Lucian spun around, put his hands in front of him, and shot up towards the sky.
"This is amazing," he exclaid, losing count of how many tis he had told himself that. He quickly passed through a cloud, and the condensation slid off him.
"Friday, what's the highest record soone has flown up on their own without a space shuttle?"
"The highest a person has traveled using only their quirk is 50,000 ters, or 50 kiloters."
"And what's our current altitude?"
"1,700 ters… 3,400 ters and climbing by the second," Friday responded as the overlay screen displayed the data.
"We've entered the area where frost can accumulate. How's that looking?"
"All systems are operational, Master. The heater is currently working as intended."
"Good," Tony said, keeping his eyes on his altitude.
As he flew up, various ideas filled his mind—different suits, different weapons. 'Can I create Vibranium? It should be possible. All I need to do is calculate its atomic structure and elental components.'
"Friday, create a file called Vibranium."
"It is done, Master."
In just 20 seconds, Tony reached around 34,000 ters. In 5 more seconds, he reached 42,500 ters.
'I wonder what else from Marvel I can bring forth to reality,' he thought. "Friday, create multiple files: Adamantium, Unstable Molecule Fibers, Pym Particles… For now." Tony stopped as he neared his target altitude.
In total, 29 seconds had passed, and Tony had reached 49,300 ters. In just 30 seconds, he hit 51,000 ters, completely breaking the previous record. Tony hovered with one leg, arms spread out, staring into the sun.
'You know, when I painted Iron Man red and gold, I kind of expected to have an identity crisis. I was worrying about nothing. Just flying here, away from everything, made realize sothing. I am not Tony Stark from the Marvel Universe, and in turn, he absolutely isn't . I'm not so impersonator or thief.'
"I am just . I am just Anthony Stark."
'And nothing or no one will be able to take that away from .'
"What was that, Master?" Friday asked.
"Nothing, Friday. Nothing… Let's free fall," he said, putting his hands behind his head and beginning to fall back down.
"Oh, and create another file nad Solar Battery and a different file nad Mark 2."
...
After Tony returned, he let lissa have a go, although David was worried sick.
lissa seed to have enjoyed it, though. She couldn't stop shaking afterward due to her excitent, appearing as if she was going through a sugar rush.
After demonstrating the Iron Man suit, Tony and lissa were back in his lab, looking at the hologram projection of the armor they had just made.
"We need to upgrade many things on it," lissa said with a serious expression.
Tony nodded. "We need better thrusters. The ones we have suffice, but better is always better, as they say."
lissa looked at Tony oddly before shaking her head. "We also need to work on how to carry it around. We had a bit of difficulty transporting it from place to place," she said.
"And not to ntion putting it on is a hassle. We need to work on that as well," Tony said.
"We can use the collapse tech you ntioned previously," lissa suggested.
"Good idea, but we still need to worry about the weight. It isn't exactly what I would consider a handbag."
"Not to ntion the braking. In so instances, when I wanted to stop, I had to do it early because the montum would still carry ," lissa added.
"Let's first start with Mark 2 and the collapse tech. As we go deeper, we'll worry about the other things. Who knows, we might co up with the solution as we go," Tony said.
It took them two months to complete Mark 2, due to the many intricate problems implenting the collapse tech created.
During those two months, Tony also tried to work on his other files but underestimated how challenging they would be, even with an AI at his disposal.
When they completed the Mark 2 armor, Tony and lissa decided to relax for a bit. Their family took them to a private beach where they just relaxed and forgot all about their problems.
That vacation lasted two weeks. Once they returned, they imdiately got back to work with refreshed minds.
This ti it took them only one month to complete Mark 3. They used a lighter tal, making it easier to carry around. But that also compromised its durability.
During this ti, Tony asked for a fighting instructor, which Howard thought was a good idea. Naturally, lissa joined in as well.
The instructor was a B-rank hero, a 30-year-old man with black hair, a thick beard, and a military background. While his na was George, his hero na was Shatter. His quirk, Weak Point, allowed him to see the weak points of things.
"The downside of my quirk is that I need to be strong enough to take advantage of those weak points. The upside is that I used my quirk to see my own weak points and guard against them.
So while you're training under , I will keep attacking those weak points of yours until you can guard against them. Do I make myself clear?"
"Sir! Yes, sir!" Tony and lissa saluted.
After training under him for a week, Tony thought George was a great teacher, or at least his quirk made him so. He taught Tony and lissa the proper stance for kicking and punching.
After their practice, they were back in their lab. "What if we added weapons to make up for the lost durability?" lissa suggested.
"It'll just add back the weight, but eh, I got nothing else, so let's go with it," Tony shrugged.
Since they couldn't get their hands on ammunition, they designed weapons that shot lasers using energy from the arc reactor.
Tony and lissa each had a glow from the Iron Man armor. On top of it, a small gun was present. They shot holographic targets that floated around, practicing their marksmanship.
Mark 4 was soon completed, mostly composed of laser weaponry. Out of all his files, Tony only completed two: the Solar Battery and the Unstable Molecule Fiber.
lissa was in her section of the lab, while Tony was leaning back in his. Thanks to the Mark 4 Iron Man armor, lissa had developed a fascination with weapons.
lissa stopped and turned towards Tony, who was deep in thought. "So the Expo is in a few months. Have you thought about what you're going to present?"
"That's right, the Expo. I forgot about that," Tony sighed. "No, not really, but I bet I can quickly co up with sothing."
'Right, I forgot that there's no I-Island in this world. The Stark Expo has beco that very thing.'
"Are you going to show off one of the Marks?"
"Are you crazy? For an Expo? Of course not."
lissa was paying attention as Tony was talking and ended up puncturing a tiny part of her thumb.
"Ouchie!" she said, flicking her hand and sucking her thumb.
Seeing the scene, Tony narrowed his eyes before smirking. "Friday… create a file."
"Master, I would highly recomnd completing one of your ongoing projects before starting another."
"Just create the file," Tony sighed.
"And what would the Master want to na said file?"
"Project Baymax."
