Aizen was stumped, he just stood there not knowing what to say or do, after a while he finally spoke.
"No this isn't an alien abduction." said Aizen with a stoic voice.
"What is it then?." replied Toby almost instantly with a curious tone to his voice
'You are way too comfortable with this mate!.' thought aizen in his head but he didn't voice it out loud.
"You can consider me as a friend, or an ally if you want Tony stark, truth be told I am a big fan of yours." said aizen
"Oh I am flattered, but why would I need an ally?, and who might YOU be?" asked Tony, raising an eyebrow he was even more curious now about the guy in front of him.
This was the time before he became Iron Man, so he still didn't know the dangers and mysteries the world holds, he still hadn't gone through all the crazy stuff, so even though he was acting normal he still didn't really believe what was happening in front of him.
And although he might appear calm on the outside he was actually panicking right now as every human being would in this situation, the only difference is he could hide it.
His best guess is that the arc reactor malfunctioned, either killing him instantly or sending him into a coma and what he was currently seeing in front of him was nothing but an illusion, his brain's last resort to hang on to life.
Of course, Tony was always a smart man, so no matter how small of a possibility it was he still had to be prepared, and that was the reason he was even bothering to talk with this "illusion".
"For your first question you will receive an answer to it sooner than you may hope to, and trust me when I say this when you do receive your answer you are gonna need all the allies you can get." said Aizen cryptically with a serious tone of voice, and Tony could sense it which made him feel as if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders but he didn't understand why.
"As for who I am…, you can say that I am just a traveller, and all you need to know for now." said aizen answering his second question.
Stating silent for a moment Tony looked at him but he couldn't discern anything, usually, he can read and understand most people with good accuracy, but how was he supposed to do that when the other person's body was made of fog?
"Sigh." sighing Tony said, "I don't suppose you…. Called me here?.."He paused a little after saying that while looking around the place wondering if that was the correct term before continuing, "just to have a chat."
"And will be right in assuming that." said Aizen," as for where "this" is you can say that we're inside your mind."
As Aizen said that Tony's eyes widened making Aizen confused for a bit before being enlightened so he said, "don't worry I have no interest in snooping around your head." of course he didn't say that he didn't even know how to.
"The reason I brought you here today is to give you a friendly warning." said aizen pausing a little so that Tony pays more attention, "beware Obadiah stane." as soon as he said that Tony narrowed his eyes at him, he was clearly not happy with what he just said
"Obadiah is a friend of my father and of my family and has been around for years, ever since I was a child, do you really expect me to believe you? a random purple fart that just appeared out of nowhere?, no thanks am good." said Tony with some anger in his voice not caring to be polite anymore.
Aizen didn't reply and silence reigned for a while before Tony said again," Ahem…now can you please hang up?, I am done with this conversation and don't know how to do it, usually, I just hang up the phone but now it just became awkward."
"If you so wish, but, keep my words in mind Tony stark, the most dangerous enemies are the ones closest to us and those in the dark and your enemy is both of those things." Said Aizen before willing himself to sever the connection.
Immediately his separated consciousness returned to his body as he thought,'That should be it here, I should get going, as for Tony, whether he believes my words or not the seed is already planted and when Obadiah is betray him that's when he'll realize that I am on his side which would be useful in the future.'
'Also he would have come on top and survived his encounter with Obadiah either way, But, he doesn't know that so all he'll know is me trying to warn him, hehehe.' thought aizen one last time.
Finished making preparations in case he comes back to this world aizen exited tony's body and Teleported to outer space.
*************
Back inside the workshop Tony slowly started to regain consciousness, at first, his vision was blurry but soon it cleared up and when it did he found himself laying on his workbench.
"S…SI…SIR." he heard a voice screaming in the background, at first it was muffled but soon it cleared up, it was Jarvis screaming at him with a panicked tone.
"It's okay Jarvis, I am okay." He said as he lifted his head from the workbench, remembering what happened before he couldn't tell whether it was real or just his imagination so he decided to ask tee only person present to get some clues.
"Jarvis what just happened to me." He asked getting up from his chair and walking towards the refrigerator.
"You were acting just fine sir, but then you suddenly had a blank look on your face before passing out on the bench, I immediately called the emergencies after that, it has been about 10 seconds since that happened sir." said Jarvis.
Tony was pouring cold water for himself when he heard the last part startled he asked,"Are you sure it was just 10 seconds."But just as he asked he knew how much of a stupid question it was, Jarvis was a very advanced A.I and he would never make that kind of mistake.
"Positive sir." Replied Jarvis.
"I see, Jarvis, call back and tell them it was just a false alarm." said Tony with a contemplative look on his face.
"But sir…" said Jarvis trying to retort before he was caught off.
"Do it Jarvis." said Tony before going back to his own thoughts.
"Yes sir."
Tony was thinking about his encounter just now it seemed too realistic for it to just be an illusion but no matter how hard he thought he couldn't find an explanation for it.
He also couldn't get that mysterious guy's words out of his head, he didn't believe him which was normal but he was also a smart man so just in the 0.1% that the words he said were true he had to be ready.
