Allen remained with Esdeath in his lap despite there being no ulterior motive, the woman's soft body was noticed by Allen.
Allen was hugged from behind while he listened to a small mocking laugh, when he turned around, he was faced with Rebecca's face. She had an undisguised tease and her eyes looked at him with a gleam of desire.
Allen smiled and kissed Rebecca's nose, she was left in shock, not expecting such a response, but immediately reverted to her usual self, licking her lips and attacking Allen.
Their lips met, the softness and warmth transmitted through this gesture, it was a kiss.
Rebecca's attitude lately being more affectionate than aggressive, was due to the acceptance of her feelings.
Allen realized this and remembered the conversation he had with Rebecca before escalating their relationship.
...
Rebecca was once just a pitiable girl who arrived in a new world having lost her entire family. At that time, she said nothing about David, Rebecca's unrequited love.
One night, Allen found her working on something called Cyberware, it seemed like the girl was trying to become a Terminator or something.
Rebecca was absorbed while she soldered something, but upon sensing Allen's presence, she stopped working and greeted him.
Rebecca sat on the table where she was soldering, with her legs crossed. "Hi Honey~ what's up?!" she said cheerfully. It's quite amusing how the girl can maintain so much energy at this hour of the night.
"I finished editing several videos and noticed you were still awake, so I decided to come by and say hi."
Allen's apartment had changed; its size had increased, and where there used to be only one room for the dolls, there were now four large rooms. Rebecca's room is practically a workshop with many mechanical devices.
Allen spent some time with her while they talked until they started discussing their relationship. After that night when Allen ended up with three women in bed, their relationship changed. However, before escalating to a romantic relationship, there was something Allen needed to ask.
While Allen respected Rebecca's past, he also had his pride and wouldn't let his girlfriend love another man. For that reason, Allen asked Rebecca if she still loved David before going any further. Even if she said yes, he wouldn't treat her badly; in the end, they could always be good friends.
"Would it bother you if I said I still love him?" Rebecca smiled playfully upon hearing the question. Allen saw nothing but a bit of melancholy, but there was no longer that shadow of pain. It was obvious that she was just trying to provoke Allen.
In response to this demon girl's provocation, Allen took her by the waist and pulled her close, not giving her a chance to escape or react. This took Rebecca by surprise.
"Why am I so lucky?!" Rebecca exclaimed in astonishment, with a slight blush.
"Being a gentleman and respecting you doesn't mean I'll let you go if you provoke me~" Allen brought his face closer, looking at her like a predator. "Now that I like you, it's too late for you to regret it, even if you were to say something like that, I would use everything in my power to make you forget it..."
"And if it doesn't work?" Rebecca swallowed nervously, wearing a shy expression, something very rare for her.
Allen smiled maliciously. "If by some miracle you manage to withstand my full attack..." Allen brought his face close to her ear and whispered something; Rebecca gasped and almost fainted.
She bit her lips, it was impossible to lie to Allen, he already knew the truth.
Rebecca understood that she couldn't resist at this point, her heart already belonged to Allen. However, she decided to pretend as part of a game while her heart trembled with anticipation.
She loved, but her feelings were never returned, she desired, but she was never desired.
Rebecca wanted to hear it; she wanted to be desired, taken, tamed, completely dominated... Don't despise her... She herself is not an easy woman, but being rejected is a blow to anyone's self-esteem, whether man or woman. Depending on how much you love a person when you are rejected you feel that you were not enough for that person, without being able to see, that sometimes love is simply not born.
Allen saw through Rebecca's desire; she already belonged to him, but she wanted him to take her. Allen smiled slightly, with a penetrating gaze; Rebecca's breathing quickened.
"I see," Allen's voice sounded grave. "I can see in your eyes that only I exist..."
Rebecca felt embarrassed, Allen laughed at Rebecca's embarrassment and then kissed her, passionately.
"Rebecca," Allen took her chin and made her look at him. "Give me your heart, and I promise I won't let anything harm it..."
Rebecca stopped breathing for a second; then something inside her broke, and she jumped on Allen like a female in heat, responding to her feelings with actions all night.
...
Back in the present at the cinema, their lips parted. It had been a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity. Rebecca leaned back in her seat, breathless and blushing.
Allen could see several glances from the girls who saw this, but none of them made a scene, although there was envy.
...
The movie ended, and after a while, Allen left Monaco with the girls; Emma also returned.
Emma Frost wasn't intimidated by the women and asked to stay in touch with Allen, which he gladly accepted.
Emma stood in front of Allen for a moment, waiting for something.
Allen just laughed, she wasn't going to give up. Allen gave her a simple kiss, without passion, which she gladly accepted.
Allen received a couple of dissatisfied looks from the girls, which he could only accept silently.
...
Back in New York, everyone went back to their lives. Esdeath was wearing only a nightgown in her room; she looked at the night sky thoughtfully, her gaze was calm, but there was a certain conflict in her thoughts, and she didn't know if she could resolve it.
"Ah~"
"Tsk," she clicked her tongue upon hearing a woman's moan. Allen was an absurd womanizer, and as such, he always had women around. Esdeath had to get used to hearing him with other women, she threw herself onto her bed and hugged an Allen plush toy.
Esdeath, despite always having a cold face and rarely smiling, now looked worried about her feelings; she didn't know if she should forget and move on. She didn't know if what she felt was right.
...
Tony woke up in a hotel with a massive hangover, he ran to the bathroom and vomited. There was no excuse; he had done something stupid yesterday.
Tony received a visit from his friend James Rhodes, who knows how he tracked him down.
"If you're going to tell me I'm an idiot, don't bother, I'm aware," Tony said hoarsely.
"I don't care about your self-assessment; just apologize for once in your life!"
Tony raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, calm down, just don't hit me... damn it, Rhodey."
"I won't lie; I thought about beating you up and taking one of your suits..." Rhodey said with a smile as he chuckled to himself.
"Hey!" Tony exclaimed upon hearing such a statement from Rhodey. Of course, it was a joke, but Tony felt shivers; perhaps in another timeline, something like that could have happened.
"But lately, you're not such an egotistical narcissist... I guess someone is a good influence on you," Rhodey pointed at Tony's chest. "You have self-destructive tendencies, but deep down, I know you're a good guy... deep down."
The fact that James Rhodes was upset with him made Tony feel even worse. In the end, he decided to go out and be a superhero, a way to remind himself that he wasn't a complete idiot.
...
In the end, the hangover was so bad that Tony sat in a giant donut on top of a roadside diner until Nick Fury arrived.
Tony reluctantly agreed and came down to talk with Fury. Inside the diner, Tony looked like crap.
"It seems you messed up this time..."
"Thanks, Captain Obvious. Just tell me what you want. Are you recruiting me again for the Boy Scouts, or what are they called, the Avengers?"
Nick remained silent for a moment, then noticed no signs of palladium poisoning on Tony's face. "You look fine, better than you deserve."
"Listen, Fury!"
"No! You listen! You decided to be the hero! You decided to reveal your identity! Now everything Tony Stark does is linked to Iron Man!"
"..."
"You know what that means? It means that when Tony drinks and pukes on the floor of a party, it's Iron Man doing it!"
"I have a justification..."
"Yeah, sure. What's your excuse?"
"I am dying... I was."
"The palladium..."
Tony tried to control his headache as he became frustrated. "Listen, Fury, I've tried every combination, every permutation of every known element to replace the palladium and nothing worked"
Fury approached Tony "I'm here to tell you that maybe not all..."
...
Tony returned home to find many boxes. Upon opening them, he found many things belonging to his father, including an old diary and a film.
Tony sat in his workshop and began reading the notes while his father's projection could be heard in the background.
"I'm Howard Stark, and everything you need for the future is here..."
Tony tried to ignore the feeling of seeing his father again, while Howard presented his model. At one point, Tony as a child approached and grabbed something from the model, angering Howard, who called his wife. Then the maid came and took Tony away.
Tony wasn't surprised to see this; he knew what kind of man Howard Stark was. He refocused on the diary while Howard Stark struggled with his presentation, unable to remember his lines.
"There's nothing that can't be done with technology... again."
Tony felt a bit better seeing his father stumble and forget his lines; it showed that nobody is perfect, not even his father.
Suddenly, the image changed, and it seemed like Howard was talking to him.
"Tony, you're too young to understand... so I decided to film it for you."
Tony quickly looked at the screen, unable to believe his father would leave him a message so long ago.
"I built this for you... someday you'll realize it represents more than just people's inventions... it's the work of a lifetime, of my entire life... this is the key to the future."
"..." Tony's gaze was fixed; for the first time in his life, he felt like he might not have fully known his father.
"I'm limited by the technology of my time, but one day you'll discover this... and you'll change the world..."
"But what is and will always be my greatest creation... is you."
Tony kept staring at the screen even after the tape ended...
....
Allen woke up with Gwen and Diana asleep in his embrace. He reached for his phone, and upon answering, heard Tony's voice.
"Would you like some coffee?" Tony asked, sounding somewhat uncomfortable.
"Hahaha, you?! Offering coffee and not whiskey?!" Allen laughed so much that he woke up his women; he had to apologize. "What happened, Tony?"
"Yeah, definitely not like me. The thing is... I'm not very good at these things, and you're not making it easy for me."
"I'm not angry, Tony," Allen smiled with a raised eyebrow, "But I have several women who are, and unless you have a good excuse, it's better if you don't show up for a few more days... while I calm them down."
"I'm already regretting giving up alcohol. I know you're not angry, and that's why I feel worse," Tony fell silent for a moment and then said, "And are you coming?"
Allen shook his head and, after a brief farewell to the girls, opened a portal to Tony's house.
Allen looked at the man who looked considerably better; he was manipulating a hologram.
"What are you doing, Tony?"
"I'm discovering, no, I'm rediscovering a new element."
"Oh... wait, what?!" Allen was surprised by such a thing.
Tony didn't pay attention to Allen and remained focused. Before Allen could speak.
"I think this is an atom... the nucleus must be here... Jarvis, highlight the Unisphere... remove the roads..."
"..." Allen didn't interrupt Tony; he just observed.
"Remove gardens, pots, trees... parking lots, exits, entrances..."
Rebecca suddenly appeared beside Allen, her cybernetic eyes scanning the hologram. After a moment, an expression of disbelief formed on her face.
"Structure the protons and neutrons using the pavilions as a framework..."
Then, as Tony spoke, what was left of the hologram turned into a sphere. Tony grabbed it with his hands and expanded it. Rebecca sighed in amazement, and Allen frowned; even if he wasn't a scientist, he knew the atomic structure of all things, and he immediately activated his six eyes and realized he didn't recognize this element.
"Tony, are you serious?" Allen said.
Tony smiled and looked in his direction. "He's been dead for almost twenty years, and he's still giving me lessons!"
Allen remained silent for a moment, then said, "And what's next?"
Tony stood up. "Synthesizing it. What do you say, Walker, will you help?"
"No, Tony, I'm not much of a scientist, but Rebecca can help you!"
"Hahaha, I was thinking of kicking you in the balls, but I've changed my mind!" said Rebecca. "I'll help if Honey wants!"
Tony paled for a moment, but then he composed himself. "What do you say, Allen?"
"I don't work for free," Allen shrugged.
"Well, I still have a doughnut; it's enough."
"Well, people have worked for less."
...
"Tony, what do I do with this tube?"
"It should go through there," Tony pointed out.
"But there's a wall?"
"Well, destroy it, I don't know, use your imagination."
Allen shrugged and punched the wall to break it. Rebecca used her shotgun to make holes in the floor and pass cables through. Tony brought tubes that started connecting. Allen realized he was building some sort of particle accelerator.
"It's a prism accelerator," Rebecca said as she sat on Allen's lap to rest. Allen hugged her from behind, and Rebecca didn't accept money, she asked to be pampered by Allen.
"I'm not even going to ask what that is," Allen replied expressionlessly.
At that moment, the door opened, and an old acquaintance of Allen's entered.
"Phill!!!" Allen was sincerely glad to see his henchman.
Philip Coulson saw Allen sitting there and immediately turned around, pretending not to see anything.
"Hey!" Allen shouted.
"No!!"
