~~~~~~~~~~~Tony's Perspective~~~~~~~~~~
=====[Sunday: 16th September, 2012]======
Looking at the calendar I finally have a bit of peace in my heart.
After my reawakening three months ago, with the new memories of a life as Anthony Stephens on Earth where my current reality is nothing but fiction, I have been feeling uneasy ever since.
So many thoughts have gone through my mind. Experiencing a bit of anxiety was understandable when you know the possibilities of this universe.
My thoughts were in disarray.
Who knows if some random overpowered being would randomly pass by the earth and randomly seek to consume it?
Galactus, that's right I'm referring to that dude that had the power cosmic. I wonder where he was?
Or maybe Thanos has already started his conquest for the universe and is already on his way to pay homage to the avengers that are yet to be formed.
Or maybe...
So many thoughts like this ran through my head giving me a sense of insecurity.
I rarely felt like that.
I, Anthony Edward Stark.
Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist, felt insecure for the first time in almost a long time.
The last time I felt like that was when my father Howard Stark uttered the words "Not Enough," and shook his head in disappointment after seeing that his unrealistic expectations were not met.
Knowing what I know now, I can understand a little bit why even though my father was proud of it, there was always a faint tinge of disappointment in his eyes whenever he looked at me.
With supernatural threats on the horizon, along with my father's involvement in shield, of course he would know some things.
That was why even with the feats of building my first circuit board without the guidance of my father at the age of 4, showcasing my early aptitude for engineering and technology.
Constructing my first engine, demonstrating a precocious understanding of mechanical systems and design principles at the age of 8.
At the age of 15, I graduated from MIT with top honors, showcasing my brilliance in engineering and technology.
By 17, I had already filed my first patent for a revolutionary invention in sustainable energy, laying the foundation for my future innovations.
Taking over as the CEO of Stark Industries, following the untimely death of my father.
Prior to assuming this role, I had already demonstrated exceptional talent and ingenuity in various fields.
Additionally, I made significant contributions to the field of robotics, advancing the capabilities of artificial intelligence and automation.
But...
These were not enough. My father knew this but he couldn't help it. It was possible that he died with the same anxiety I had felt these past days.
But now, after doing some rough research I have come to a conclusion about my current world.
This world has a lot of similarities to the earth 616 universe that I know, but also a lot of differences. My age can be considered one of them.
The timelines of occurrence of events were different from many examples in the comics.
Well, considering that there are countless other alternate realities, it isn't surprising or too alarming depending on how one looks at it.
But after the rediscovery of the new element which I have awesomely named it Starktonium because I will probably be the only making real use of it anyway, I have gotten a bit of peace.
Also, with my father's complete research on the Super Soldier Serum, I finally have a clear direction on my first step to gain true power.
Although in the comics, my counterparts have created and used many amazing amours. With a number of them being used to battl against even Gods.
When you stand before reality warping freaks, and multiverse manipulating overpowered characters, there is a limit to what one can achieve.
But a certain Marvel What If series does give me me the idea of a particular possibility. Autron in that series was pretty overpowered.
If I had that as a suit, then indeed I have the capital to stand out amongst the vast multiverse.
But suddenly I am not too impressed as that won't be my own power after all.
You can't be too sure of what is not really yours but you can be sure of what is yours and yours alone.
Thinking till here.
"Sir, you have a call from Mr. Obadiah Stane."
"Answer."
"Hello Tony, how are you doing?"
"Not too bad."
"So sorry about what happen. I hope you've recovered, so if there is anything you need, you ca tell me," Stane sounded genuinely concerned about me.
Yeah right, as if.
" Well, I've been held captive for three months. There are two things I want to do. I want an American cheeseburger And the other..."
I paused for a bit and said, "I want you to call for a press conference now. I am going to announce that Stark Industries next move."
Stane was shocked by what I said, "Huh? What a minute Tony I think we should discuss-..."
I cut the call and leaned back on my chair while looking at the holographic formulas in front of my table and thought to myself.
'I need to find Captain America before anyone else does.'
