Tony greeted everyone one by one.
When his gaze landed on Matt, he paused deliberately.
"Hey, uh… how many fingers am I holding up?"
He flashed a peace sign like a mischievous kid.
Matt didn't get offended at all.
He smiled warmly and actually answered, leaving Tony stunned.
"I can't see, but I can read vibrations in the air. The world appears in outlines, but I see it clearly enough."
His explanation made Tony's eyes shine with curiosity—this man's sonic sensing was practically bat-like.
"Whoa~~ incredible. I should really study this. Yes, I've decided! My next suit is going in that direction."
Tony, a man Thanos once called "cursed with knowledge," was always quick to absorb new ideas and spark new inventions.
"You'll love what I made for you."
He snapped his fingers, and the suit behind him stepped forward, opening the first large case.
Inside was a pair of sleek, black arm bracers—streamlined, glossy like a mirror, shaped with the sa futuristic elegance as Tony's battle armor.
"I added those fragnts you brought —the results were amazing. Not only can these absorb shockwaves, they can redirect them."
He tossed one bracer to Skye and handed the other to Lucas.
Skye's excited shriek nearly shook the room.
Her long-awaited dream gear was finally here—no more shattered bones every ti she unleashed her power.
Even Natasha's eyes burned with envy, though for her the bracers' usefulness ended at enhanced defense.
Lucas examined his bracer briefly.
He let his inner magic surge outward—and the bracer absorbed every bit effortlessly, storing his power inside.
He could clearly feel the reservoir of magic inside the device, ready to release at will.
He handed the bracer back to Skye.
"Now you don't have to worry about breaking your hands every ti you use your powers."
"Mm-hmm!! I'm gonna make those vampires regret everything!"
Skye strapped the bracers on.
They were shockingly light—no tallic heaviness at all—and she moved naturally, without effort.
"Impressive, right? That's the alien tal's effect. Turns out it can change weight. Absolutely fascinating!"
Tony had experinted extensively on the Uru tal Lucas provided.
This weight-modifying ability was one of his greatest discoveries.
"It's perfect!!"
Skye stared at her hands, brimming with eagerness.
Shockwaves humd outward, rippling visibly around her arms, growing stronger and stronger, filling the entire office.
Before, this would've shattered her bones.
Now she felt nothing—not even strain—and instinct told her she hadn't co close to the limit.
Then Tony's armor opened the second case.
Inside were three uniforms:
one black-and-white with a hood,
one thin crimson armor suit,
and one sleek black uniform similar to Natasha's.
Gwen, Skye, and Wanda's new gear.
"We get uniforms too?!"
Gwen lunged forward instantly.
Her suit's design hadn't changed much—the material was now a vibranium-Uru hybrid.
All three suits had excellent magical conduction, thanks to the Uru.
Wanda's suit received a special addition—a red cloak.
It could absorb her Chaos Magic, store it, and convert it into a protective barrier.
The three girls rushed off eagerly to try them on.
Tony then scanned the room, his gaze locking onto Peter.
"Hey, kid! You're the little fanboy that brat Lucas ntioned? Why do you look so clueless?"
Peter froze like he'd been struck by lightning.
Tony Stark was his idol.
Being recognized by him nearly caused a dical ergency.
"M-Mr. S-Stark… h-hello…"
He stiffly stepped forward and stuck out his hand like a malfunctioning robot.
"Relax, kid. You're the little spider in pajamas, right? Fine—considering I owe Lucas, I'll make your suit."
Tony's tone was arrogant, but it couldn't hide the faint fondness in his eyes.
He liked Peter imdiately—but he'd sooner die than admit it.
"R-really?! Thank you, Mr. Stark! I'm totally introducing you to my aunt—she'll be so excited she won't sleep for days!!"
Peter blurted it out without thinking and instantly sold out Aunt May.
Tony blinked, then casually drifted closer to Lucas.
"…Is the aunt pretty?"
Lucas nodded.
"Very. And single."
Tony's eyes glead.
Lucas added lazily,
"But are you sure you'll survive if Pepper finds out?"
That one sentence shattered Tony's fantasies.
"What nonsense! I just want to see what kind of woman can raise a kid like that. Don't slander ~~!"
He glanced around nervously.
"…Don't tell Pepper. Seriously. She'll kill ."
Lucas grinned wickedly.
Tony nearly blasted him with a repulsor.
Soon, the three girls ca downstairs wearing their new suits.
Gwen's looked nearly the sa but with a tallic sheen.
Skye's suit resembled Natasha's—sleek, flexible, sharp.
Wanda's had changed the most—the crimson mage cloak made her look unmistakably mystical.
Tony had nailed the "sorceress aesthetic."
"How much of that tal do you have left?" Lucas asked.
"What, you want a suit too?"
"I don't need that kind of thing."
"There's so left. I'm planning a suit for Pepper."
Lucas and Tony shared a knowing look.
In another tiline, Pepper had worn the Rescue Armor.
Now Lucas wanted Tony to build it early—and with vibranium and Uru available, why not?
The office buzzed with laughter and chatter until nightfall.
The once-quiet space had beco lively and warm—almost like a family gathering.
They even enjoyed another al courtesy of Lucas, who silently scread inside while everyone ate happily.
When darkness settled, S.H.I.E.L.D. activated full surveillance over Hell's Kitchen and the surrounding districts—satellites included.
Skye simultaneously took control of every cara (all three of them) in the notoriously underfunded neighborhood.
