As Joshua Parker left with his maid Miriam to take their seats. Tony Stark was still looking at the small blue eyed blonde haired child leaving. In Tony Stark's mind he had already summarised that Joshua Parker was a once in a life time genius. And he Tony Stark would do anything to hire him and learn from him.
"General Ross, do you have any information on Joshua Parker ?", Tony Stark asked General Ross.
"Don't look at me like that. Don't you think we the military have tried to hire him. It's just that Joshua Enterprises is a multi national global company. And there are too many countries offering the same thing to Joshua Parker. That's why all the countries in the world agreed to protect Joshua Parker and not to try and poach him. In return all countries will share in Joshua Parker's technology.", General Ross said with a smirk on his face.
"Does that mean I can try to hire him ?", Tony Stark asked General Ross.
"You can try but I doubt Joshua Enterprises would allow you to poach their head scientist and the smartest person on the face of this Earth.", General Ross said with another smirk on his face.
Tony Stark's eyebrow was twitching, he had always thought that he was the smartest person on Earth. But General Ross may be right that Joshua Parker was smarter than him.
Tony Stark soon left the Jericho missile targeting machine and proceeded to give an impressive demonstration on the Jericho missile. After the presentation many of the generals came up to congratulate him including his good friend Lt. Colonel James Rhodes. But Tony Stark was looking for Joshua Parker. As he saw the child Joshua Parker leaving with his maid Miriam, Tony Stark followed Joshua Parker.
When they were in a clearing where there was nothing, Joshua Parker turned around together with his maid Miriam and smiled at Tony Stark. Tony Stark was surprised.
"Hello, Mr. Stark, we meet again.", Joshua Parker said in a childish voice.
"Wait. If you know me, you definitely know I can afford to hire you for Stark Industries. Work for me and I promise you, you won't regret it.", Tony Stark said in a pleading tone.
"I am sorry Mr. Stark I have to leave now. Goodbye Tony Stark.", Joshua Parker said in a childish voice as a beam of light appeared from the sky above and hit Joshua Parker and his maid Miriam. Soon the figure of Joshua Parker and Miriam disappeared.
"Teleportation !", Tony Stark shouted out as he looked towards the source of the light. There in the sky was an smooth oval spaceship. The moment Tony Stark saw the spaceship it moved at the speed of light and disappeared in the eyes of Tony Stark.
"Magnetic pulse propulsion ! That's impossible !", Tony Stark shouted out as he saw the spaceship disappear.
In just a few moment Tony Stark felt like he was in a science fiction movie seeing technology that was thousand maybe even millions of years ahead of the Earth. These were the technologies of the Gods. But Tony Stark did not know that these were the technology from the Fel Lords, the demons conquered by Azeroth. Even Sargeras the corrupted Titan had been resurrected by Azeroth and made into his slave.
As Tony Stark went back to where the Generals and Lt. Colonel James Rhodes his best friend were celebrating the success of the Jericho missile demonstration, in Tony Stark's heart he was thinking of ways to get the technology from Joshua Parker.
A few minutes later Tony Stark was in a military truck heading back to civilisation. The soldiers protecting Tony Stark were joking with him. Then suddenly gun fire sounded and the truck with Tony Stark in it was attacked. Bombs and gun fire sounded as Tony Stark managed to escape but then a bomb exploded near Tony Stark. Tony Stark lost his consciousness and the last thing he remembered was the little boy Joshua Parker saying goodbye to him.
Meanwhile back in New York, Nick Fury was looking at the report given by agent Maria Hill on subject Ned Earp and subject Samantha. It was basically the same report given by Phil Coulson with the exception that there was an extra female now working in Ned Earp's shop.
Nick Fury was wondering if there is something wrong with Shield, his super secret spy agency. Or has all of his agents become mentally retarded.
"Get me the mother fucking agent Hill !", Nick Fury shouted out angrily over the intercom.
"Yes sir.", a female voice replied over the intercom.
"Sir...", Agent Maria Hill said nervously.
"What is wrong with the Ned Earp and Samantha report ?!", Nick Fury shouted out angrily.
"Sir, I request for a transfer away from this assignment. Sir. Please.", Agent Maria Hill said pleasingly.
Nick Fury was silent for a while. Maybe he should be angry, maybe he should scold Agent Maria Hill. But Nick Fury has to consider the fact that the problems may not lie in his agents but that the problem was the subjects themselves, Ned Earp and Samantha.
"Maria, tell me as a friend what's wrong ?", Nick Fury asked in a calm tone.
"Nothing is wrong sir. Can I be moved from this assignment ?", Agent Maria Hill asked nervously.
"Sigh... you are off this assignment. I will personally make a visit to Ned Earp.", Nick Fury said calmly.
"Sir, please , please don't go to Ned Earp...", Agent Maria Hill said in a pleading tone.
"Huh ! Why should I not go to Ned Earp ?", Nick Fury asked in a curious tone.
"Um... nothing.", Agent Maria Hill replied as she switched off the phone connection to Nick Fury.
"Sigh...", Nick Fury said.
Meanwhile in New York, Ned the necromancer was still slouching down on his chair watching the news of the disappearance of Tony Stark in Afghanistan. Somehow Ned Earp felt his relaxed lifestyle was about to end.
