Chapter 12 - Iron Man...

Phil Coulson soon got on the phone to Nick Fury.

"Sir, is there anything ?", Phil Coulson said respectfully.

"I just got two of your reports for the Avengers initiative, Mr. Ned Earp and the female known as Ms. Samantha. Do you see anything wrong with the report ?", Nick Fury asked in a furious tone.

"No sir. What's wrong with the report sir.", Phil Coulson said nervously.

"How about there is nothing in the mother fucking report ! The report is so thin that a child could write a better report than this ! And we don't know anything about subject Samantha except for her name with no last name ! Mother fucking !...", Nick Fury shouted out angrily.

"Sir... its the best I could do, perhaps this heavy responsibility could be given to someone else sir.", Phil Coulson said respectfully.

"Fuck ! Alright you are off the two subjects and agent Hill will replace you to get a comprehensive report on subject Ned Earp and subject Samantha.", Nick Fury said angrily.

"Oh ! Thank you sir. Thank you. You are a saint.", Phil Coulson said happily.

"Shit !", Nick Fury shouted as he cut off the phone line with Phil Coulson.

"Get me agent Hill !", Nick Fury shouted out over the intercom.

A few days later somewhere in Afghanistan, Tony Stark was demonstrating Stark Industries latest weapons, the Jericho missile. As Tony Stark walked confidently around, there was an officer that was looking for him.

"Sir. The generals would like to see you for a while.", the army officer said respectfully.

"Oh ! What's the matter ?", Tony Stark asked arrogantly.

"It seems the targeting system for the Jericho missile has only a 30% accuracy. There is something wrong with the targeting system.", the army officer said politely.

"Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Let's go see the generals, maybe I can fix it.", Tony Stark said proudly. In fact a few days ago before Tony Stark came here, he made sure the targeting system for the Jericho missile sent to the army in Afghanistan had a targeting problem. It would allow Tony Stark to easily fix the targeting problem in front of the generals and improve the targeting system to 70% accuracy and show how smart Tony Stark was.

When Tony Stark arrived there he saw a blonde haired blue eyed child next to the general with a maid next to him fiddling with his targeting system. Tony Stark's eyebrows arched up in surprise. How could a child be able to understand quantum mechanics and software programming at this level. Just when Tony Stark was about to say something, the child finally turned around and said something. That child was Joshua Parker.

"Well that's done. The Jericho missile targeting system now should have 95% targeting accuracy. Tony Stark sure likes to produces some primitive weapons.", Joshua Parker said happily as he turned around to see Tony Stark.

Tony Starks mouth was twitching in anger. What 95% accuracy, is this child bullshitting the generals ? Even he couldn't get 95%, maybe 70% in such a short time.

"Let me see.", Tony Stark said aggressively as he walked over to the Stark targeting system to see. After going through the targeting system, Tony Stark's single eyebrow arched up in surprise. This child is a genius ! He actually improved the targeting system for the Jericho missile to 95% targeting accuracy.

"What's your name little boy ?", Tony Stark asked the child.

"Sir, that's Joshua Parker, the scientist and director of Joshua Enterprises.", the army officer following Tony Stark said respectfully.

"Yes. That's one of the smartest man I have ever seen.", General Ross said proudly as he turned around to see Tony Stark.

Joshua Parker just smiled as he look at Tony Stark, a smirk appear on his face. Somehow Tony Stark felt that Joshua Parker was mocking him.

"Son why did you say that the Stark targeting system is a primitive weapon ?", Tony Stark asked as he looked at Joshua Parker.

Joshua Parker just kept quiet and looked at General Ross.

"Sigh. Tony Stark you may not know this but the small weapons sold by Joshua Enterprises are used by the military as a super secret weapon. These small calibre weapons are rail guns that fit in the size of your hands. We however do not have the energy weapons used by the staff of Joshua Enterprises.", General Ross said unhappily.

"What you produce small calibre rail guns and energy weapons ?", Tony Stark shouted out in surprise.

"How did you solve the energy problems ?", Tony Stark added as he looked at Joshua Parker.

Joshua Parker just smiled at Tony Stark and handed him a round ball of crystal the size of a marble that looks like energy. As Tony Stark grabbed the round ball in Joshua Parker's hands he shouted, "An unknown energy source, just how powerful is it ?!".

"That small crystal ball the size of a marble has the energy of the sun.", Joshua Parker said in a childish voice.

"What ?! How ?! Do you want to work for Stark Industries ?!", Tony Stark shouted out.

"Sorry I am already a part owner of Joshua Enterprises. And I think weapons and energy sources like these should not fall into humans hands.", Joshua Parker said in a childish voice as he took back the energy marble from Tony Stark's hands. What they did not know was the energy marble was a standard technology in the Marvel Universe used to fuel spaceships for space travel. If Tony Stark knew that the technology he so coveted was a common technology in the space community in the Marvel Universe, he would probably choke Joshua Parker to death for being a smart mouthed brat.
