**POV: Ryuk (Ark)**
Ryuk received an invitation to Tony Stark's birthday party, a rare occasion that promised both celebration and the chance to keep a close eye on his ally. As he arrived at Tony's lavish mansion, the atmosphere was a mix of jubilation and chaos. People were enjoying themselves, drinks were flowing, and loud music filled the air.
In the middle of the festivities, Ryuk spotted Tony, drunk and stumbling around in his Iron Man suit. He was about to approach Tony to suggest he take off the suit when he was interrupted by James Rhodes, who was wearing the older Mark 1 suit. The tension in the room escalated quickly as Tony and Rhodes began to argue, leading to a full-blown fight.
Ryuk watched the battle unfold, ready to intervene if things got out of hand. After a destructive and intense brawl, Rhodes managed to subdue Tony and left the party with the suit. Tony, still drunk and exhausted, slumped into a chair.
"Did you really let Rhodes steal your suit, or did you give it to him?" Ryuk asked.
Tony, looking weary but defiant, responded cryptically, "There's a failsafe in the arc reactor. If anyone tampers with it, they'll regret it."
Intrigued and somewhat concerned, Ryuk followed Tony down to his man cave. There, surrounded by countless gadgets and unfinished projects, Tony began working on a new suit. Ryuk suggested incorporating new weapons based on the hybrid arc reactor they had developed together.
"This event is straight out of Iron Man 2," Ryuk thought to himself, realizing the timeline he was now navigating. The deadline for his main quest was approaching, and he knew he had to stay vigilant.
Ryuk decided to stay with Tony until Fury arrived. When Nick Fury and Black Widow entered the room, Ryuk maintained his composure. They were unaware that "Ark" was actually Ryuk.
Fury began to explain to Tony about his father's legacy and the palladium poisoning that was slowly killing him. Tony, however, confidently refuted, "I'm no longer being poisoned, but I'll take everything my father left."
Fury, looking somewhat satisfied, turned to Ryuk. "Don't mention any of this to anyone," he warned.
Ryuk nodded, already planning his next moves. As he left Tony's mansion, he instructed the Raging Storm squad to prepare for the upcoming Stark Expo. The system notified him of a new mission: defeat 40 Hammer drones and protect the civilians. The reward was enticing – Sergeant Verde Buster EX equipment, including heavy weapons, flight weapons, and motorbikes built for Verde Buster Units.
As Ryuk pondered his next steps, he noticed Black Widow giving him a curious look. She seemed to be trying to place his face. "He looks familiar," she thought, suspicion brewing in her mind.
Ryuk knew he had to tread carefully. His dual identity was becoming harder to maintain, especially with Natasha's sharp instincts. But for now, his focus was on the upcoming battle at Stark Expo and the challenges that lay ahead.
