Iron Man 2 [MCU x OC] [Book 2 of the Stephanie Stark Series]

Chapter 1

Six months later

"You are clear for exfiltration over the drop zone," A voice over the intercom says. Tony stands inside a plane dressed in his iron man suit as he waits for the cargo door to open. When it does he jumps out and flies to his destination dodging fireworks exploding all around him. He lands on a large stage surrounded by people. He stands before them as his suit is taken off of him while a bunch of girls dressed in ironman costumes dances in the background. The crowd around him as the song that was playing stops.

"Oh! It's good to be back," He yells. "You missed me?"

"Blow something up!" A man in the crowd yells.

"I missed you, too. Blow something up? I already did that." The crowd laughs. "I'm not saying that the world is enjoying its longest period of uninterrupted peace in years because of me." The crowd cheers as Tony pumps up his speech. "I'm not saying that from the ashes! Of captivity! Never has a greater phoenix metaphor been personified in human history." He bows his head to the crowd as the cheer even louder. "I'm not saying that uncle sam can kick back on the lawn chair, sipping on an iced tea because I haven't come across anybody who's man enough to go toe-to-toe with me on my best day!" He pauses for effect and takes in the crowd's cheers.

"I love you, Tony!" A girl yells out.

"Please," He smirks "It's not about me. It's not about you, it's not even about us. It's about legacy. It's about what we leave behind for future generations. Which is why for the next year, and for the first time since 1974, the best and brighter men and women of nations and corporations the world over, will pool their resources, share their collective vision to leave behind a brighter future." the crowd cheers in agreement. "It's not about us, therefore what I'm saying if I'm saying anything, is welcome back to the Stark Expo!" He clenches his teeth as he says the next and last part of his speech. "And now, from the great beyond, to tell you what it's all about, please welcome. My father. Howard."

He bows and goes to leave the stage as a video recording of his father, Howard Stark, plays behind him.

"Everything is achievable through technology. Better living, robust health, and for the first time in human history, the possibility of world peace. So from all of us here at Stark industries, I would personally like to introduce you to the City of the Future..."

Tony stands off stage as the recording play for the arena to watch behind him. He pricks his thumb on a machine that reads, Blood Toxicity: 19% He clenches his fist and wipes the blood away from his thumb as he stands and thinks. He exhales and looks back at the video as it finishes.

"The Stark Expo. Welcome!" The crowd cheers and Tony wanders off to find his friend Happy. He meets him at the back exit of the stage and tossed him his jacket.

"Alright, it's a zoo out there, watch out," Happy says as the door opens "Open up, let's go." Happy leads them out as Tony greets the fans. He gets stopped by one girl giving him her number before happy pulls him away. "Alright, hey, hey, hey let's go."

Tony stops as he sees a group of kids holding Iron man posters. He squats down to sign them. "Hello!" He turns and sees a small kid wearing an iron man helmet. "See ya, buddy." He pats the kid on the head as happy pulls him away once again.

As he walks out he sees a bunch of other business owners including a specific one. "Ay, larry. Hey man!" The older man in a red suit and suspenders nods. (It's Stan Lee! Bless him :()

"Ah, yes my people. My people" Tony pats Happy on the back as he follows his friend through the crowd of people.

"Very mellow. That wasn't so bad." Happy says.
